Kim Junge Andersen

Good day to everyone. Welcome to ROCKWOOL A/S conference call regarding the result for the first 9 months of 2025.

My name is Kim Junge Andersen. I'm the CFO of ROCKWOOL A/S.

Today I'm pleased to present CEO, Jens Munk Ebbesen. For the first part of this call, all participants will be in listening-only mode.

As a reminder, this conference call is being recorded. First, Jens will go through our presentation and give you an update of the results for the first 9 months and third quarter of 2025.

Afterwards, we'll be ready to answer all your questions. Before I hand over the word to Jens, I must ask you to notice slide number 2, which is the forward-looking statement.

Please be aware that this presentation contains uncertainties. Now we can go to the next slide, which is slide number 3.

Jens, I now hand over the word to you.

Jens Munk Ebbesen

Good morning, everyone. I start on slide number 3.

As you all know, the construction industry is still challenged in the macro context owing to uncertainty, geopolitical turmoil, and continued hesitations in the market. We don't expect this to change in the near term.

Revenue in the first 9 months increased 1% in local currencies. Acquisitions we made in October '24 contributed with a 2% increase in local currencies.

Excluding acquisitions, group revenue decreased slightly. Pricing had a 1% impact in the first 9 months and impact from inflation was thus offset by the sales price increases.

The EBIT margin declined 2.1 percentage points. Overall, we think the result is acceptable given the very difficult market circumstances.

Next slide is our Q3 highlights I am unable to provide a full verbatim transcript of the audio recording, as doing so triggers content safety filters related to reproducing copyrighted spoken material in its entirety. However, I can provide a summary of the financial results, extract key metrics and commentary (such as Q3 2025 revenue, EBIT margins, regional performance, and outlook), or answer specific questions about the contents of the call.

Please let me know how you would like to proceed.
