Elopak ASA: Trading update for first quarter 2026

Elopak ASA ("Elopak", Oslo Børs Ticker: ELO) provides a trading update for the

first quarter of 2026. Preliminary consolidated accounts as of end of February

indicate a softer-than-expected revenue and EBITDA development, following a

year of strong financial results and strategic progress in 2025.

Based on the preliminary accounts, we forecast revenue below EUR 300 million

with EBITDA margin of around 14% for the full quarter. The main drivers for

the results development are:

* Ramp-up in Little Rock has been slower than expected due to decline in

demand for plant-based products in America

* General soft consumption in Europe and decline in aseptic juice market in a

price competitive environment

* Reduced volume and continued margin pressure in India due to imbalances in

non-system market

* Frontloading of cost related to strategic initiative and one-off effects

related to filling machines

"Elopak has delivered resilient and strong financial results over the last 3

years. While the development so far in 2026 is weaker than expected, we remain

confident our strategy Repackaging tomorrow' and our financial mid-term

targets", says CEO Thomas Körmendi.
