Schouw & Co. — Earnings Release 2015

Jan 21, 2016

In the Q3 2015 interim report Schouw & Co. announced an expected consolidated
revenue for the full year of about DKK 12.3 billion with an EBIT range of DKK
730-785 million.

Meanwhile, the development during Q4 2015 turned out better than anticipated.
The Group’s revenue in the last three months of the year was about DKK 250
million higher than expected, which together with continued favourable foreign
exchange factors and raw material prices have affected the result positively.
Consequently, the profit for the year was overall affected in an
extraordinarily positive way by favourable foreign exchange factors and raw
material prices.

The 2015 EBIT has especially turned out better than forecasted in BioMar and in
Fibertex Personal Care. Furthermore, also Hydra-Grene has realised a better
result than expected, while Fibertex Nonwovens has realised a result in the low
end of the forecasted range. On this basis Schouw & Co. now expects that the
final EBIT for 2015 will be estimated to about DKK 830 million.

Schouw & Co.’s audited Annual Report for 2015 is scheduled for release on
Friday 4 March 2016, where also the 2016 forecast will be presented.
