Leading Nordic presence, with growing international customer base

Strong topline and profitability improvements last few years

• Organic growth from 2015-2018, while the growth from 2018 is a combination of organic growth initiatives and the acquisition of Smartpanel (2018) and Byggform (2019), adding NOK 117m in revenues in 2019, and NOK 34m in 2020 (full-year effect of the Byggform acquisition)
• The growth in 2020 and 2021 is partly related to realized market synergies from increased market share following the Smart Panel acquisition. Other growth drivers include change in product mix, volume increase (partly off-set by a drop in Europe), price increases and other (incl. currency)

Byggma has more than doubled its EBITDA and more than tripled its EBIT since 2019

• The strong improvement is primarily due to realization of synergies from the Smartpanel acquisition, product mix optimization and price increases. Byggma has seen an increase in raw material prices and experienced unfavorable currency development, but has been able to offset this by increase prices to end users and ultimately improve the margins
• In 2019, the EBITDA and EBIT have been adjusted for normalizations following the acquisition of Smartpanel in 2018

Robust cash conversion ratio

• Byggma has a history of strong cash flow generation over the last years which is set to continue going forward
• This has allowed the company to invest significantly in product innovation in addition to increased manufacturing capacity and efficiency
• Since 2016, annual Capex amounts to approx. NOK 100m while maintaining an attractive dividend capacity
• If desired, Byggma can manage annual maintenance Capex in the range of NOK 30- 50m and hence generate even stronger free cash flows going forward
• Byggma has targeted a long-term dividend payout ratio of minimum 30%-50%
  • ̶ The company will pay out a higher dividend when possible after evaluating various growth opportunities
