HIGHLIGHTS

Sales revenue and profit

Sales revenue in Q3 2021 increased from NOK 481.6 million in Q3 2021 to NOK 546.0 million, corresponding to an increase of 13.4%. Year to date, sales revenue has increased from NOK 1,504.4 million to NOK 1,712.4 million, corresponding to an increase of 13.8%. Profit before tax increased from NOK 46.2 million in Q3 2020 to NOK 53.4.0 million in Q3 2021. Profit before tax improved from NOK 100.4 million year to date 2020 to NOK 156.0 million year to date 2021.

Capacity increase and efficiency improvement in Huntonit

During Q3 2021 material upgrades and renovations was completed in Huntonit. The investment amount to ca. NOK 21 million as per 30 September 2021 and has returned a productivity increase of ca. 6%. In addition, a project to reduce waste heat from the same process has been performed, and this has shown that the energy usage can be reduced by 2 GWh per year.

Progress at Masonite Beams

Masonite Beams increased its operating profit from NOK 5.8 million in Q3 2020 to NOK 21.9 million in Q3 2021. Year to date, operating profit has improved from NOK 17.9 million in 2020 to NOK 38.9 million 2021.

Sustainability

The Group is constantly identifying new valuable sustainability projects that reduce emissions to both air and water, which simultaneously are economically profitable for Byggma.

Walls2Paint

Walls2Paint is one of Byggma's most ambitious new launches in recent years. The product has enjoyed substantial growth since its introduction a few years ago. There is still great potential for further growth. Expectations are that Walls2Paint will become Byggma's Number One product in the next few years.

Premium Ceiling

Forestia AS introduced the Premium Ceiling product in the winter of 2020. The product has been very well received and we expect strong sales growth in the coming years.

Huntonit Pro Wall

In autumn 2020, Huntonit AS launched Huntonit Pro Wall. The product has been well received and we expect strong growth in the coming years.

Forestia Carbon Sink

Byggma Group has established the subsidiary Forestia Carbon Sink AS. The purpose of this company is to establish a plant for reception and cleaning of wood waste. The wood waste will be recycled and transformed into industrial quality saw dust that can be used as raw material in new industrial products, e.g. woodchip panels from Forestia. This project is very environmentally friendly and will sequestrate carbon in Byggma's panels for decades instead of being released into the atmosphere through combustion. Carbon sequestration in Byggma's panel products corresponds to 5.6% of emissions from Norway's road traffic.

Results

The Byggma Group continued to advance in Q3 2021. Year to date, sales have increased from NOK 1,504.4 million in 2020 to NOK 1,712.4 million in 2021.

Profit before tax increased from NOK 100.4 million in the nine first months of 2020 to NOK 156.0 million in the same period for 2021.

Demand is accelerating for our wood-based building products. Naturally, this boosts growth for the company. I am grateful that we have not been negatively affected by the corona pandemic. We must be aware that many industries have been hit hard by the pandemic and not take our progress for granted.

This quarter I am especially happy for the development in Masonite Beams. In this segment we have experienced an increase in sales from NOK 76.1 million in Q3 2020 to NOK 108.5 million in Q3 2021. The operating profit increased from NOK 5.8 million in Q3 2020 to NOK 21.9 million in Q3 2021. This is a confirmation that Masonite Beams has strengthened its position in the market. It also confirms that more customers are seeing and approving Masonite Beams advantages regarding weight, strength, stability, and environment.

I am absolutely delighted with the results achieved. We are lucky to have many skilled, competent, and motivated people who are performing at levels that far exceed my expectations. My heartfelt thanks to you all! Your dedication to the job is greatly appreciated.

Brand building and positioning

Byggma is an original brand manufacturer. Several of our brands have been extensively adopted by the building materials industry over many years. This enhances predictability, recognition, and security, all of which are important drivers in customers preferring to purchase Byggma products.

Our overall position as one of the leading suppliers of building materials solutions has strengthened throughout the year. A situation that I find heartening to say the least, but also testifies to that our jobs are secure. The invigorative trend we are seeing also confirms that we are doing things right in all areas of the company.

Innovation

Every product has a life cycle. Byggma currently has many products that are well-established in the market. In order to ensure a stable product portfolio, we are constantly focused on product development and innovation. Product improvements and new launches have enabled us to achieve increased revenue and

profitability in recent years. An achievement we have also repeated this year. Innovation and product development are high priorities in our strategy and will continue to be so in the future.

Sustainability/ESG

Forests sequestrates significant amounts of carbon and through wise management of this resource, we are responsibly creating worthy products that store carbon for many decades. In several instances, the contributions we make to carbon storage in our operations significantly outweigh the effect from the operations' carbon footprint.

At Byggma, we have a tradition of focusing our work on productivity and continuous improvement. Sustainability is in many ways a further development of this work. In terms of sustainability and through the involvement of our committed team of employees and partners, we will exploit resources efficiently, while also securing jobs and the future of a company that is a source of value creation for society in general.

I would like to take this opportunity to mention a couple of vital ESG projects that we have worked with in Q3.

Forestia Carbon Sink

For several years, we have focused our work on mapping the potential for cleansing of leftover material stripped from felled timber and repurposing it as a raw material to produce wood-based products. The project has an investment framework of around NOK 250 million, but will be dependent on state aid in order to be realised. Although the state aid apparatus that could include this in Norway does not at this point in time have programmes to support this investment, we are of the opinion that several

politicians are now also realizing the industrial opportunity that this is offering, which would create new green jobs in Norway. I am happy to observe that the new government of Norway in its plan of action has mentioned the construction of a plant for reception and cleaning of wood waste. To further clarify this, we have now established Forestia Carbon Sink, which will be responsible for cleansing wood waste. The wood waste will be recycled and transformed this into a complete, stand-alone industrial raw material to be used in new products, e.g. woodchip panels from Forestia.

This initiative will be important in establishing timber as a circular resource and ensure extended natural carbon binding.

Capacity increase and energy efficiency improvement in Huntonit

During Q3 2021 material upgrades and renovations was completed in Huntonit. The investment amount to ca. NOK 21 million as per 30 September 2021 and has returned a productivity increase of ca. 6%. This will save energy and cost per Huntonit panel produced. In addition, a project to reduce waste heat from the same process has been performed, and this has shown that the energy usage can be reduced by 2 GWh per year.

Packaging

We are constantly working to improve sustainability of our products' packaging/wrapping. It involves both using lesser and more sustainable solutions while ensuring that the products are sufficiently protected. With Huntonit, we have now tested the replacement of plastic and panel packaging with cardboard packaging. This will reduce the weight significantly, thus saving the environment from emissions during transport, and also reducing the amount of waste on the construction site.

Masonite Beams Sustainability Report

Based on our Group strategy and overall goals concerning to sustainability, Masonite Beams have prepared its own sustainability report.

My thanks to each and every one of you at Byggma for your efforts so far in 2021. My wish is for everyone to thrive here and for each of you to realise your personal potential through your role in the Byggma Group.

Best regards,

Geir Drangsland, Group CEO

Masonite Beams Sustainability Report: https://www.masonitebeams.se/media/7358/masonite-beams-haallbarhetsrapport-2021_digital.pdf

Net financial expenses in the nine first months of 2021 amounted to NOK 4.8 million, which is an improvement of NOK 29.3 million compared to the same period in 2020. The main reason for the reduction in net financial expenses is the gain on the market value of the interest rate swap in the nine first months of 2021 of NOK 10.5 million, compared with the loss of NOK 19.1 million in the nine first months of 2020. Net interest expenses (incl. payment for interest rate swaps) amounted to NOK 14.5 million in the nine first months of 2021, which is

NOK 0.6 million higher than for the same period in 2020. Of the interest expenses of NOK 14.5 million, interest on lease obligations amounted to NOK 3.0 million, which is NOK 0.2 million lower than for the same period in 2020.

The liquidity reserve *) as of 30 September 2021 amounted to NOK 246.7 million, a decrease of NOK 549.9 million from 1 January 2021 and a decrease of NOK 491.6 million from 30 September 2020. Paid dividend of NOK 558.6 million explains the lion's share of the decrease. The Board of Directors will maintain its focus on capital and cost-efficiency.

Interest-bearing debt *) increased from NOK 597.0 million as of 1 January 2021 to NOK 644.6 million as of 30 September 2021. In 2021, long-term debt increased by NOK 45.7 million, of which NOK 7.2 million are due to new lease agreements.

Operating profit 30,1 37,7 120,9 120,4 163,4

THE PANELS SEGMENT consists of the companies Huntonit AS, Forestia AS, AS Byggform and Smartpanel AS with subsidiaries. The Masonite part of Forestia AS was demerged in 2020 to its own company, Masonite Beams AS. This company, together with the Masonite part of Huntonit AS, has been included in the Beams segment, and the figures for Panels and Beams have therefore been adjusted.

In Q3 2021, the Panels segment achieved higher sales revenues compared with the same period in 2020, while the operating profit achieved was lower. The segment is experiencing increased raw material- and energy costs and price increases have been implemented on our products with effect from 1 October 2021. Demand for products in the panels segment is very high.

The Board of Directors is very satisfied with the development in sales Q3 2021, but the operating profit is lower due to increased raw material- and energy costs. Management has a continuous focus on improvements, including trends in sales and costs.

SUSTAINABILITY - ESG

Forests bind significant amounts of carbon and at Byggma the good management of this resource is all about creating high quality products that store carbon for many decades. In several of our operations, the contributions to carbon storage significantly outweigh the carbon footprint from our operations.

At Byggma, we have a tradition of working on productivity and continuous improvement. Sustainability is in many ways a progression of this work. In terms of sustainability and through the involvement of a committed team of employees and partners, Byggma will continue to implement efficient use of resources, while also securing jobs and ensuring the future of a company that is committed to creating value for society.

The following are some of the projects developed in Q3 2021.

HUNTONIT

Sales revenues 27,1 25,3 70,1 60,9 95,2 Operating profit 2,6 2,6 0,9 (0,5) 5,1

Productivity increases in the core material manufacturing process

In June 2020 one of the four cylinders on one of the pressing machines broke down. The board decided to purchase four new cylinders. Simultaneously, we decided to perform necessary adjustments on the pressing machines to achieve a productivity increase of 6% in the process unit that manufactures the core material used in the panels.

The whole pressing machine was lifted through the roof by a large mobile crane. The picture shows the upper piece of the pressing machine, which weighs over 20 tonnes.

During the summer and autumn of 2021, a solid effort has been put down related to the disassembly and preparation of the pressing machine to achieve the productivity increase. Over 200 tonnes of parts and equipment has been disassembled and renovated.

The pressing machine have been put into operation this autumn and we are now operating on a higher tact and increased capacity. In addition to these improvements, the energy used per produced amount is lower.

New cylinders are being lifted back in. Installers and technicians are installing gaskets on the pressing machines.

SUSTAINABILITY - ESG 14

Heat recycling in the multi floor pressing machines In relation to the maintenance and productivity increase, we executed a project on recycling of waste heat from the multi floor pressing machines. The picture shows one of the measures performed which involves insulation of the steam pipes which runs onto the heat boards in the pressing machine.

The effect of the insulation shows in the picture below that is taken with an infrared camera of non-insulated and insulated pipes. The surface temperature on insulated pipes are 48 degrees Celsius. On non-insulated pipes the surface temperature reaches 220 degrees Celsius.

Expected savings on this project alone is over 2 GWh per year on today's production plan.

MASONITE BEAMS

Masonite Beams Sustainability Report

Masonite Beams have prepared its own sustainability report which is based on the Group's strategy. The report is available on the company's web page, and is more thorough on the beam business and how we are working with reducing our footprint on the environment from this part of our business.

Masonite Beams is participating in an exciting project regarding the development of new and forwardlooking building systems. The project is called "The design of the future – the reuse of wood-based buildings in a circular economy". The idea of the project is that one shall, with a base in concept studies, develop and display examples of demountable and

reusable triangle constructions that can be part of a circular value chain. The project is planned to finish during the autumn 2023.

Masonite Beams' I-beam construction system uses up to 47% less raw materials compared to traditional wood-based constructions systems with solid beams.

FORESTIA

Treatment plant for recycling of waste wood In Forestia we are working on a project where we can clean waste wood from demolition and recycle it to saw dust of industrial quality and reuse it as raw material in new products, e.g. woodchip panels. As the project depends on economic aid from the state in order to be economically sustainable, we have for some time suggested for the politicians how the state aid rules ("Statsstøtteregelverket") can be applied to establish smart solutions for the climate in the way we see in our neighbouring countries. Therefore, we are happy to see that the new government in Norway has implemented this in its government plan ("Regjeringsplatform"). On page 20 in the government's new plan of action, «Hurdalsplatformen», it says:

"Facilitate the construction of a new plant for recycling of waste wood to enable the material to be reused in new industrial products to increase employment and value creation." (Translated from Norwegian).

This is a positive signal for Forestia's planned plant for reception and cleaning of wood waste, but it depends on the state aid apparatus ("Virkemiddelapparatet") to be entitled frame conditions/mandate in order for the project to be granted state aid. Consequently, we are curious and exited to see how this will be handled in the state budget for next year and whether the state aid apparatus will be granted capital to announce a relevant program.

In Forestia we have our own plan of action for activities related to sustainability in the company. In this quarter, there have been activities on many areas that we wish to mention:

  • At the plant we are now testing whether we can reduce or remove the application of ammonia. The trials look promising, but we need to perform more tests in order to verify the results.
  • An LCA study from 2020 is the foundation for our EPDs. Based on this there are implemented several improvements in our supply chain and production process.
  • We are phasing out the use of perforator control of formaldehyde and are changing to gas analysis. This will free up space, and additionally, we can eliminate the use of toluene.
  • Out of environment considerations we are working on phasing out PVC based foil which has been applied on some foiled products. Sales/Marketing are now working towards our customers to offer replacement products with PP foil.
  • Sustainability is now included in our product development process. Consequently, this will be an important part in all our development projects.

The Covid-19 pandemic has had only limited consequences for Byggma as of Q3 2021. The inflow of orders is good, and production at the factories and deliveries to customers are generally going as planned. Group management and management of the individual subsidiaries are following the situation closely and have taken measures to limit any negative consequences, which the outbreak may have for employees and operations. If building materials outlets close and construction projects stop, this may have an impact on Byggma. Furthermore, restrictions any countries may make on retail trade could have an impact on access to input factors in production and sales revenues from these countries. The availability of input factors to production is intact, and significant elements of the input factors come from Norway and Sweden.

The forecast for the sale of new housing in the Norwegian market shows a positive development of 15% in the nine first months compared with the same period in 2020. Commission of newbuilds has increased 7% for the same period. The largest growth is in the detached houses market, with a growth of over 21% in sales and 27% in commissioning, while small houses have seen a growth of 9% in commissioning and 6% in sales in the nine first months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. This is positive for the company, as this is an important arena. Sales in August/September shows a decrease of 23% compared to the same period in 2020. Commissioning has increased 7% for the same period. The decrease in sales in August/September can lead to lower activity towards the end of Q2 2022. The activity is expected to grow from a relatively low volume of around 23,000 new homes per year to around 26,000. We are still experiencing high activity in the renovation and extension market. This market is expected to maintain a high activity, on level with 2020. There is uncertainty connected to the steep price increase on timber and building materials.

The market development has meant that the input factors for several of the segments are considerably more expensive. Byggma has implemented price increases with effect from 1 October 2021.

Group management is continuously monitoring the situation in order to be able to implement cost reductions resulting from lower activity levels.

In order to ensure further growth, investment in the sale of the Group's products outside Norway is an important part of Byggma's strategy. We are still experiencing a high growth in demand for Byggma' s products outside Norway.

Innovation and technological development are vital components of the Group's growth strategy, driven by a forceful determination to invest in essential equipment and expertise to maintain its position as a leading player in the Nordic building materials market in the future. The Byggma Group is firmly focused on achieving efficiency, dominance, and profitability.

Byggma is well positioned for implementing its enhancement processes for maintaining its position as a leading, efficient producer of building products. Several major investments have been made to streamline our processes. New investments in equipment have also been decided and this will enable greater efficiency. In principle, Byggma will be directing its investments toward digitisation and automation of the production processes, including the environment and sustainability.

It is an important part of Byggma's strategy to strengthen its position as a leading original brand manufacturer of environmentally friendly and sustainable products in the Nordic building materials market.

Byggma Group aims to be an attractive employer. We will continue to focus on ensuring that all employees in the Group have the opportunity to realise their human potential through their employment at Byggma.
