Homann Holzwerkstoffe publishes consolidated financial statements for 2023:
Clearly positive result despite economic uncertainties

  * Adjusted operating EBITDA on target at EUR 55.2 million, EBITDA margin:
    15.7%


  * Revenue declines by 10.2% to EUR 354.5 million (previous year: EUR 394.9
    million) as a result of the challenging market environment due to price
    factors


  * Forecast for 2024: Stable EBITDA development with slightly declining
    revenue


Munich, April 26, 2024 - Homann Holzwerkstoffe GmbH, a leading European
supplier of thin, refined wooden fibreboards for the furniture, doors and
coatings industries, today published its consolidated financial statements
for the financial year 2023. Despite difficult market conditions, the
company has mostly succeeded in achieving its own targets. The Homann
Holzwerkstoffe Group's revenues amounted to EUR 354.5 million, which
represents a decline of EUR 40.4 million compared to the record revenues of
2022. By contrast, sales volumes were very robust and only slightly below
the previous year's level. As already forecast in the 2023 half-year report,
this decline is primarily due to the challenging market environment, the
continuing decline in demand for MDF/HDF boards and the associated price
pressure.

At EUR 55.2 million, operating EBITDA adjusted for one-time effects from
exchange rate fluctuations was down on the previous year (EUR 75.0 million),
but was still within the management's expectations. The EBITDA margin
amounted to 15.7% after 18.3% in the same period of the previous year.
Consolidated net profit amounted to EUR 23.7 million (previous year: EUR
44.6 million).

Equity increased further to EUR 179.7 million in the reporting period
(December 31, 2022: EUR 150.0 million), in particular due to the clearly
positive consolidated net income for the year. Despite a significant
increase in total assets, the equity ratio therefore rose to 31.1%, compared
to 30.4% at the end of the financial year 2022.

Fritz Homann, Managing Director of Homann Holzwerkstoffe GmbH: "Overall, we
are satisfied with our business performance in 2023. Despite falling market
prices and thus declining revenues as well as the delay in the start of
production in Lithuania, we were able to achieve our earnings expectations
for the year and make a successful start to the new year. We are determined
to obtain the necessary permits for operations in Lithuania during the
course of the year in order to establish the plant as an important part of
our long-term expansion strategy."

The management remains cautiously optimistic about developments in 2024 as a
whole and expects EBITDA to remain stable. It is assumed that revenue will
not quite reach the previous year's level, which is due to both the delayed
start of production in Lithuania and the persistently low price level for
MDF/HDF boards.
