Improvement in Masonite Beams
Operating profit rose from NOK 5.7 million as of Q1 2020 to NOK 7.2 million as of Q1 2021.
Sustainable
The Group is constantly identifying new valuable sustainability projects that reduce emissions to both air and water, and which at the same time are economically profitable for Byggma.
Walls2Paint
Walls2Paint is one of Byggma's largest new launches in recent years. The product has grown strongly since its introduction a few years ago. There is still great potential for further growth. Walls2Paint is expected to become Byggma's biggest product in a few years' time.
Premium Ceiling
Forestia AS introduced the Premium Ceiling product in autumn 2020. The product has been very well received and we expect strong sales growth in the coming years.
Pro Wall
Huntonit AS launched Huntonit Pro Wall in autumn 2020. The product has been well received and we expect strong growth in the coming years.
Results
The Byggma Group continued its progress in Q1 2021.
Revenues increased from NOK 532.2 million as of Q1 2020 to NOK 559.7 million as of Q1 2021.
Profit before tax increased from NOK 26.2 million in Q1 2020 to NOK 53.6 million in Q1 2021.
Equity has now exceeded one billion and as of 31.03.2021 is NOK 1,023.6 million. The solid equity confirms that the Group has a strong capital base.
We are experiencing strong demand for woodbased building products. Naturally, this contributes to our positive growth. I am grateful that we have not been negatively affected by the corona pandemic. We must be aware that many industries have been hard hit by the pandemic and not take our progress for granted.
I am extremely satisfied with the results achieved. There are many skilled, competent and motivated people who are performing at levels that exceed my expectations. Thank you very much indeed! Each one of you is of great value to me.
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 provides familiarity, recognition and security, all of which are important drivers for customer preference for Byggma's products.
Our overall position as one of the leading suppliers of building materials solutions has strengthened throughout the year. I am delighted with this position, and it secures jobs. The strengthening 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 work continuously on product development and innovation. Through product improvements and new launches, we have achieved increased revenues and profitability in recent years. We have achieved this yet again this year. Innovation and product development are high priorities in our strategy, and will continue to be so in the future.
Sustainability/ESG
Forests bind significant amounts of carbon and, for us, good management of this resource is about creating good products that store carbon for decades. In several of our operations, what we contribute to carbon storage significantly exceeds the emissions from our operations.

At Byggma, we have a tradition of working on productivity and continuous improvement. In many ways, sustainability is a further development of this work. In terms of sustainability and through the involvement of our committed team of employees and partners, we will make efficient use of resources, while also securing jobs and a company that creates value for society.
I would like to take this opportunity to mention a couple of important ESG projects in progress in Q1 2021:
Finger jointing line at Masonite Beams AB
In connection with our production of flanges for I-beams, we will this year see offcuts of timber of approximately 2,000 m³. We are currently running a project aimed at investing in a finger jointing line for offcuts so that we can reuse 70-80% of this waste for the production of flanges for I-beams (studs) and studs for interior walls.
Energy savings at Huntonit
We have brought in modern pumping equipment in our board production at Huntonit. The plant was brought into use in April 2021 and the total savings on energy consumption are estimated to be around 1 GWh per year based on current operating patterns.
It is official company policy that Byggma must contribute positively to the local communities in which our factories are established. As part of this strategy, we contribute by sponsoring local sports clubs. We want to maintain and continue this strategy.
Thanks to each and every one of you at Byggma for your efforts so far in 2021. I want everyone to do well and each of you to be able to realise your human potential through your role in the Byggma Group.
Best regards,
Geir Drangsland, Group CEO
KEY FIGURES
| as of Q1 2021 | as of Q1 2020 | Total 2020 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sales revenues | 559.7 | 532.2 | 2,052.4 |
| EBITDA *) | 70.9 | 66.5 | 269.6 |
| Operating profit/loss | 50.9 | 47.7 | 192.6 |
| Net financial items | 2.7 | (21.5) | (32.9) |
| Profit before tax | 53.6 | 26.2 | 159.7 |
| Taxes | (11.5) | (5.8) | (34.8) |
| Profit after tax | 42.1 | 20.4 | 124.9 |
The Group achieved a profit before tax in Q1 2021 of NOK 53.6 million, compared to NOK 26.2 million for the same period in 2020. The operating profit for Q1 2021 was NOK 50.9 million, compared to NOK 47.7 million for the same period in 2020.
Trends in operating profit in Q1 2021 are higher in all segments compared to the same period in 2020, apart form the Boards segment, which has seen slightly lower operating profit.
Byggma Group's sales revenues in Q1 2021 amounted to NOK 559.7 million, which is NOK 27.5 million higher than for the same period in 2020. The trends in sales revenue in Q1 2021 are positive in all segments compared to the same period in 2020, apart from the Windows segment, which has seen slightly lower sales revenue. In 2021 Easter was in Q1, while in 2020 it was in Q2, which means some weakening of sales revenue and operating income compared with last year.

Sales revenues
Net financial expenses in Q1 2021 gave revenue of NOK 2.7 million, which is an improvement of NOK 24.1 million on 2020. The main reason for the reduction in net financial expenses is the recognition of the change in the market value of the interest rate swap in Q1 2021 of NOK 7.4 million, compared with the recognition of expenses of NOK 16.9 million in Q1 2020. Net interest expenses (including paid-for interest rate swaps) as of Q1 2021 amount to NOK 4.5 million, which is NOK 0.4 million higher than in 2020. Of the interest expenses of NOK 4.5 million, interest on lease commitments amounts to NOK 1.0 million, which is NOK 0.1 million higher than in 2020.

The liquidity reserve *) as of 31.03.2020 amounted to NOK 763.0 million, a decrease of NOK 33.6 million from 1.1.2020 and an increase of NOK 105.0 million from 31.03.2020. The Board will maintain its focus on capital and cost-efficiency.

Interest-bearing debt *) decreased from NOK 597.0 million as of 1.1.2021 to NOK 575.3 million as of 31.03.2021. Long-term loan agreements of NOK 1.6 million were taken out in 2021, all of which are due to loans taken up as a result of capitalised lease agreements.
Investments made in tangible fixed assets and intangible assets as of Q1 2021 totalled NOK 12.5 million, which is NOK 0.4 million higher than in 2019. Of the investments made, capitalised lease agreements amounted to NOK 1.6 million.
Total capital decreased from NOK 2,131.9 million as of 1.1.2020 to NOK 2,120.9 million as of 31.03.2020.
Book equity as of 31.03.2021 was
NOK 1,023.6 million (48.6%), which is an increase of NOK 33.4 million compared to 1.1.2021 (46.4%). The reasons for the change in equity are the annual result of NOK 42.1 million and a negative translation difference of NOK -8.6 million.
*) Definitions of EBITDA, liquidity reserve and interest-bearing debt are added after the notes.
OPERATING PROFIT/LOSS


BOARDS
| as of Q1 2021 | as of Q1 2020 | 2020 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sales revenues | 411.8 | 396.3 | 1,449.8 |
| Operating profit/loss |
46.1 | 52,7 | 163.4 |
THE BOARD 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 Boards and Beams have therefore been adjusted.
In Q1 2021, the Board segment achieved higher sales revenues compared with the corresponding period in 2020. Operating profit is lower than in 2020. The segment is experiencing increased
raw material costs and price increases have been implemented with effect from 1 April 2021. Demand for products in the board segment is very good.
The Board of Directors is very satisfied with the sales development in Q1 2021. Operating profit is lower than for the same period in 2020, but the Board of Directors is satisfied with the operating profit. Management has a continuous focus on improvement projects, including trends in sales and costs.



BEAMS
| as of Q1 2021 | as of Q1 2020 | 2020 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sales revenues | 82.0 | 67.3 | 293.4 |
| Operating profit/loss |
7.2 | 5.7 | 25.5 |
THE BEAMS SEGMENT consists of the companies Masonite Beams AB, Masonite Fastighet AB and Grammaholmen Fastighets AB. In addition, the segment consists of Masonite Beams AS, which was demerged in 2020 from Forestia AS in the Boards segment, as well as the Masonite part of Huntonit AS. The figures for the Boards and Beams segments are a result of these adjustments.
Beams have grown in all markets and we are experiencing greater acceptance for I-Beam as a construction material.
Sales revenues and operating profit for the Q1 2021 are higher than for the corresponding period in 2020.
The Board of Directors is satisfied with the sales and earnings in the segment in Q1 2021. The Management and Board of Directors have a strong focus on creating increased sales and improved profitability.



WINDOWS
| as of Q1 2021 | as of Q1 2020 | 2020 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sales revenues | 41.1 | 46.3 | 214.0 |
| Operating profit/loss |
(1.2) | (6.9) | 5.9 |
THE WINDOWS SEGMENT consists of the companies Uldal AS and Birkeland Eiendom AS.
In Q1 2021, the Windows segment achieved lower sales revenues compared with corresponding periods in 2020. Operating profit is significantly better than 2020. The Windows segment is still seeing strong competition and price pressure.
Investments that were previously made at the factory are now having a major effect on shorter delivery times, and we are experiencing a high demand for windows.
A total of NOK 3 million has been invested in a new sliding door factory at Uldal. Investing in production equipment for sliding doors means that the company can produce sliding doors itself cost effectively rather than buying them at high prices as goods for resale.
The Board of Directors is satisfied with the sales and operating profit in Q1 2021. Management will continue to focus on sales and cost trends.



LIGHTING
| as of Q1 2021 | as of Q1 2020 | 2020 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sales revenues | 24.9 | 22.3 | 95.2 |
| Operating profit/loss |
0.5 | (1.5) | 5.1 |
THE LIGHTING SEGMENT consists of the companies Scan-Lamps AS, Scan Lamps VTA AS and Aneta Belysning AB.
In Q1 2021, Lighting achieved higher sales revenues and operating income compared with the corresponding period in 2020.
The Board of Directors is satisfied with the improvement in results in the Lighting segment in Q1 2021.
Management has a strong focus on measures to improve profitability.


Keeping carbon stored in wood reduces CO2 emissions from combustion and helps reduce global warming.
Forests bind significant amounts of carbon and, for us, good management of this resource is about creating good products that store carbon for decades. In several of our operations, what we contribute to carbon storage significantly exceeds the emissions from our operations.
At Byggma, we have a tradition of working on productivity and continuous improvement. In many ways, sustainability is a further development of this work. In terms of sustainability and through the involvement of a committed team of employees and partners, Byggma will make efficient use of resources, while also securing jobs and a company that creates value for society.
Active work is currently underway implementing activities within sustainability in our subsidiaries. We have included some examples of this:

Finger jointing for offcuts at Masonite Beams AB In connection with our production of flanges for I-beams, we will this year see offcuts of timber of approximately 2,000 m³. We
are currently running a project aimed at investing in a finger jointing line for offcuts so that we can reuse 70-80% of this waste for the production of flanges for I-beams (studs) and studs for interior walls.
Supplier development
To be part of a sustainable value chain, we must also focus on previous links in the chain. Forestia is therefore placing ESG expectations on its suppliers. From 2021, this has been given greater focus and our suppliers must provide a self-declaration based on answering various questions about ethics, the environment and quality.
This self-declaration must be submitted annually by the suppliers, and the first round started in May 2021.
Energy savings Huntonit
In 2015, Huntonit invested in a new pulp mill. The investment has resulted in significant savings in specific energy consumption. We have also had better control over the quality of the pulp, which has enabled us to largely use energy-efficient pumps for transporting the pulp, instead of the old system consisting of refiners with large and non-energyfriendly electric motors.
The plant was brought into use during May 2021 and the total energy saving is estimated to be around 1 GWh per year based on current operating patterns.



The COVID-19 pandemic has had only limited consequences for Byggma as of Q1 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 that 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 40% in Q1 compared with the same period in 2020 and up 20%. The largest growth is in detached houses, with a growth of over 40% in both commissioning and sales, while small houses have seen a growth of 29% on commissioning and 43% on sales. This is positive for the company, as this is an important arena. The activity is expected to grow at a relatively low volume of around 23,000 new homes per year to around 25,000. The Renovation and Extension market is expected to maintain a high level, as per 2020.
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 April 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.
Innovation and technological development are an important part of the Group's growth strategy, and there is a strong willingness to invest in the necessary equipment and expertise in order to be a leading player in the Nordic building materials market in the future. The Byggma Group continuously seeks efficiency, dominance and profitability.
Byggma is well advanced in its improvement processes for becoming an efficient producer of building products. Several major investments have been made to streamline our work processes. New investments in equipment have also been adopted that will make us even more efficient. In principle, Byggma will be allocating its investments to digitisation and automation of the production processes, as well as to 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 construction market.
The Byggma Group wants 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 work at Byggma.
