Upward adjustment of 2015 EBIT

In the third quarter report of 2015 published on 20 November 2015, the ROCKWOOL
Group announced a full year expectation of sales increase of 1-2% with no
material exchange rate effect and a full-year EBIT result excluding write-downs
and redundancy costs above EUR 150 million.

Thanks to continued efficiency improvements from the Group’s Transformation
program and lower input costs on key items such as energy, raw materials and
transport, the Group now expects the EBIT result excluding write-downs and
redundancy costs to end slightly above EUR 170 million. Sales in the fourth
quarter was up 2.2% meaning that reported full year 2015 sales will end with a
1.2% increase including a negative full-year currency effect of around 1%.

The final figures will be published on 26 February at which time also the
expectations for 2016 will be presented.
