reaching RON 22,59 million, and an EBITDA margin of 15%. The advance of these businesses came from both the increase by 19% of the quantities sold, and the increase in sale prices, in the context of a consolidated operational efficiency. The increase in sale prices was generated by an increase in raw materials' costs, a persistent and even increasing trend. On top of the raw materials price increase there is also a shortage in the global market, but TeraPlast Group has not been affected by it so far.

TeraGlass had a robust growth of 40% in sales during the first quarter. In addition, the EBITDA margin reached 8%, compared to the loss registered in the same period of last year, which shows that the measures taken by the management are already yielding results.

"The first quarter generated a 61% increase in EBITDA. To put this in perspective, this is compared to 2020, a year with record breaking results for the Group" stated Mrs. Ioana Birta, Group CFO. "The EBITDA margin of 16% is significantly larger than the 14% margin we've budgeted for 2021. We can say that we are one step ahead of the budget, which makes us believe we will achieve the proposed efficiency. We have recently received the Competition Council's approval to take over Somplast, so it will be integrated in our Group starting this month and, by active involvement of our management, it will contribute to the future consolidated results alongside the fruition of the synergies at Group level. The high volume of water, sewerage and irrigation works together with our operational efficiency make us optimistic and confident we can deliver growth and value to our clients and shareholders" added Ioana Birta.

For the whole 2021, TeraPlast Group's budget is built on a turnover of RON 636,2 million and an EBITDA of RON 89,1 million. The Group is implementing investments worth over RON 160 million in doubling the production capacity for Installations and in the biodegradable flexible packaging factory. The investments are on track.

At the end of February, the Group announced the closing of the sale of the steel products division to Kingspan. The Board of Directors proposes that, from the received consideration, RON 226,6 million to be distributed as special dividends and, in autumn, to grant 1 free share per each 4 shares owned, within the share capital increase of RON 43,6 million.
