Written by Global Insulation staff
26 November 2018

Denmark: Rockwool has reported that its trend of ‘solid’ performance continued in the third quarter of 2018, with high sales growth and increased profitability so far over the course of the year.
Sales in the first nine months reached Euro1.96bn, an increase of 16.1% in local currency terms, including acquisitions, which contributed three percentage points. The negative currency impact was three percentage points. In the third quarter of 2018, sales increased by 14.6% in local currency terms to hit Euro692m.

Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) over the first nine months of 2018 ended at Euro258m, an increase of 39%. In the third quarter of 2018, EBIT was Euro97m, an increase of 28% year-on-year.

Rockwool’s growth in net sales is now expected to be 14-15% for the whole of 2018 in local currency terms, including around 2-3% from the acquisition of Flumroc.

Commenting on the group’s performance, CEO Jens Birgersson said,
“We are pleased with our sales and profitability performance, as we achieved good top line growth in all major regions and good profitability across the board. The higher input costs we’re experiencing are being offset by strong factory performance and high productivity.”

“It’s also gratifying that our sustainability efforts are being recognised, with the Standard & Poor’s Trucost analysis confirming that 100% of Rockwool’s products contribute to meeting UN Sustainable Development Goals,” concluded Birgersson.
