Outlook
Byggma monitors the housing market continuously, as this is an important arena
for the company. We see somewhat lower activity in some areas of the market but
are experiencing increased sale of new product launches introduced to the
market. Total number of housing units sold in 2022 was 19,371 which is 26% below
2021. The variation in the sale in the market in Q4 may cause lower activity in
H1 2023. The largest reduction in units related to apartments which is not the
main market for Byggma. Total commissioned units in 2022 was 23,199 units which
is 9% below 2021. Small houses is down ca. 17%. The need for housing units have
been increased to 29 000 which can lead to serious consequences for the housing
supply if the trend continues leading to pent up demand. Meanwhile, we are still
experiencing high activity in commercial buildings and public buildings. The
renovation and extension market is expected to be stable and on the same level
as 2021. 

Vast increase in raw materials is the most important explanation for lower sales
and commissioning of new housing units in 2023. Additionally, the interest rate
development may affect the activity in the newbuild and the renovation and
extension market. The conflict in Ukraine may also affect markets and factors as
access to raw materials, energy and increased prices on imported goods. However,
we see a price decrease on timber going forward, which may increase sales and
commissioning of new housing units increasing the demand for building materials.
This is supported by the upward adjustment of the official number of housing
units needed in Norway to 29.000 per year. This may increase the demand for
Byggma ASAs products in the medium and long term.

We experience the same market development for Byggma's products outside Norway.

The market development has meant that the input factors for several of the
segments are considerably more expensive. Byggma has implemented price increases
with effect from 1 October 2022 in order to maintain a reasonable margin.

Group management is continuously monitoring the situation in order to be able to
implement cost reductions resulting from lower activity levels.

In order to ensure further growth, investment in the sale of the Group's
products outside Norway is an important part of Byggma's strategy. Innovation
and technological development are vital components of the Group's growth
strategy, driven by a forceful determination to invest in essential equipment
and expertise to maintain its position as a leading player in the Nordic
building materials market in the future. Byggma Group is firmly focused on
achieving efficiency, dominance, and profitability.

Byggma is well positioned for implementing its enhancement processes for
maintaining its position as a leading, efficient producer of building products.
Several major investments have been made to streamline our processes. New
investments in equipment have also been decided and this will enable greater
efficiency. In principle, Byggma will be directing its investments toward
digitisation and automation of the production processes, including the
environment and sustainability.

As per 22 February 2022 Byggma ASA owns ca. 18,0 % of the share capital in
Norske Skog ASA. Together with related party Drangsland Kapital AS, Byggma ASA
controls ca. 23.6% of the shares in Norske Skog ASA.

It is an important part of Byggma's strategy to strengthen its position as a
leading original brand manufacturer of environmentally friendly and sustainable
products in the Nordic building materials market.

Byggma Group aims to be an attractive employer. We will continue to focus on
ensuring that all employees in the Group can realise their human potential
through their employment at Byggma.
