Company announcement No. 7/2026 12 May 2026

Interim Financial Report, Q1 2026 CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER JÖRG BRINKMANN QUOTE

"The early months of 2026 were challenging, with prolonged winter weather impacting construction activity, customer demand and plant utilisation. Since March, however, we have seen a clear recovery in activity levels and improving momentum across the business. We continue to monitor geopolitical developments, particularly regarding energy markets. Our strong local sourcing position and hedging strategy limit negative exposure. Poland and the UK continue to perform according to expectations, while in Germany we continue to work on strengthening the business region by region. Looking ahead, we remain confident for the rest of the year, supported by our focus on operational improvements."

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS FOR Q1 2026 (Q1 2025)
  • Revenue growth measured in local currencies ("organic growth") was negative 15% (positive 3%) as a result of severe weather conditions.

  • Gross profit before special items was DKK 73 million (DKK 146 million), corresponding to a gross margin of 13% (22%). The decrease is driven by low plant utilization.

  • EBIT before special items was negative DKK 43 million (positive DKK 16 million), corresponding to an EBIT margin before special items of negative 8% (positive 2%).

  • Financial gearing was 4.1 times EBITDA before special items at the end of Q1 2026 (2.7 times EBITDA before special items at the end of Q1 2025).

    FINANCIAL OUTLOOK FOR 2026 (Unchanged)
  • Revenue growth measured in local currencies is expected to be in the range of -5% to 0%

  • EBIT before special items is expected to be in the range of DKK 50 - 100 million

MANAGEMENT'S REVIEW

CURRENT BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

Volumes and prices

Organic growth was negative by 15% in Q1 2026, affected across all markets by severe weather conditions.

UK sales volumes dropped 24% against a strong quarter last year, Poland fell 13%, and Central Western Europe fell 11% year-on-year.

Prices overall remained stable compared to the same period last year.

Regional market development UK

The UK market had a slow start to the year due to heavy rain, but activity levels have since improved and are on track overall. As of March 2026, building registrations in the UK were 8% below the year-to-date figures recorded in the previous year.

Despite ongoing uncertainty, the market remains resilient, with housebuilders displaying cautious optimism for the rest of the year as conditions for residential developers begin to improve.

Nonetheless, persistent issues with consumer confidence and affordability continue to constrain overall demand.

The Bank of England reviewed interest rates on 30 April, maintaining the rate at 3.75%. Earlier forecasts anticipated further reductions however, following the escalation in Iran, sentiment has shifted towards the possibility of rate increases later in 2026.

After inflation eased at the end of 2025, it rebounded slightly at the start of 2026, predominantly due to geopolitical developments and higher energy costs.

Poland

Following a slow start to the year caused by poor weather, the Polish market has rebounded strongly and remains robust. Year-to-date building permits in Poland are 7% higher in 2026 compared to the same period last year.

Activity among individual investors continues to increase, while developers encounter challenges and compete for project volumes. Developer-

initiated building starts in 2026 are 15% lower than the previous year, indicating market activity is mainly focused on ongoing rather than new projects.

Lending conditions remain stable, with banks increasing the volume of mortgage issuance, although a significant proportion of new loans are for refinancing existing debt. The reference interest rate was unchanged at 3.75% in April, and prospects for any reductions remain uncertain due to prevailing market volatility.

Inflation stood at 3.0% year-on-year for March.

Germany

In Germany, building permit numbers continue to show positive momentum, rising 10% year-on-year compared to the previous year, although growth is still emerging from a relatively low base.

Private households continue to be cautious, with a clear disparity between project costs and buyers' willingness to pay. Measures aimed at reducing costs and accelerating construction are underway, but their impact remains limited at this stage.

The reference rate remains stable at 2.15%, while inflation saw an increase in April to 2.9% driven largely by rising energy costs.

NOTES
  1. Accounting policies

    The interim financial report for the period 1 January to 31 March 2026 has been prepared in accordance with the IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the EU and additional Danish disclosure requirements for the interim financial reports of listed companies. The application of IAS 34 means that the disclosures are more limited than in a complete annual report, but that the interim financial report complies with the recognition and measurement principles in the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The interim financial report has not been reviewed by H+H's auditors.

    The accounting policies are consistent with those applied in the 2025 Annual Report, which includes a full description of the accounting policies applied.

    Segment reporting

    Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Executive Management team, which is identified as the chief operating decision-making body ('CODM') under IFRS 8. The Executive Management team is responsible for allocating resources and assessing the performance of the Group's operating segments.

    The Group's operating segments are determined based on geographical markets, as this reflects the manner in which operations are managed and performance is evaluated internally. Accordingly, the Group has identified three operating segments: CWE (Central Western Europe), UK and Poland. The primary activity of all reportable segments is production and sale of building blocks used for wall building, foundations and precast wall panel solutions, primarily in the residential new-build market.

    Segment performance is assessed based on measures regularly reviewed by the Executive Management team and applied consistently across segments, being EBIT before special items. Certain costs relating to the Group's headquarters functions in Denmark, including governance, strategic management and other Group-wide activities, are not directly attributable to the operating segments. These costs are therefore not allocated and are disclosed as non-allocated in the segment information.

    The Group's operating segments are unchanged compared to the 2025 Annual Report. However, Management has decided not to apply the aggregation criteria set out in IFRS 8.12, and the individual operating segments are therefore presented separately as reportable segments.

  2. Adoption of new and revised IFRSs

    H+H International A/S has adopted all new or revised and amended International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and interpretations (IFRIC) issued by IASB and endorsed by the EU effective for the financial year 2026. It is assessed that the revisions and amendments have not had a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

  3. Risk Management

    H+H's principal risks and the external factors that may affect H+H are provided in the 2025 Annual Report. These are unchanged as of 31 March 2026.

  4. Significant accounting estimates and judgements

    Determining the carrying amounts of some assets and liabilities requires Management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions concerning future events. The estimates and assumptions made are based on historical experience and other factors that are believed by Management to be sound under the circumstances but that, by their nature, are uncertain and unpredictable. Financial statement items in which more significant accounting estimates and judgements are applied are listed in Note 2 of the 2025 Annual report for H+H International A/S.

    The estimates and assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unforeseen events or circumstances may occur. Moreover, the H+H Group is subject to risks and uncertainties that may lead to the actual outcomes vary from these estimates and assumptions. It may be necessary to change estimates and assumptions made previously as a result of changes in the factors on which these were based or as a result of new knowledge or subsequent events.

  5. Seasonal fluctuations

    The sales pattern for H+H's products is seasonal. Sales in the second and third quarters are traditionally higher than during the rest of the year. As a part of H+H's cost base is not directly variable with revenue, deviations from projected sales may result in considerable fluctuations in the Company's earnings. The weather conditions in Q1 2026 have been severe and the seasonal impact are therefore higher this year compared to previous year's.

  8. Pension obligations

    H+H has defined-benefit pension plans in the UK, Switzerland, and Germany. The UK and Swiss pension plans are managed by a pension fund to which payments are made, whereas the German pension plan is funded from current earnings. H+H's pension obligations predominantly relate to the plans in the UK.

    For interim periods, H+H's defined-benefit pension obligations are based on valuations from external actuaries carried out at the end of prior financial year considering any subsequent movements in the obligation due to pension costs, contributions etc. up until the reporting date. Actuarial calculations are updated or extrapolated quarterly.

    The net pension obligation on 31 March 2026 amounts to DKK 15 million, compared to DKK 14 million on 31 December 2025.

  9. Financial resources and cash flow

    On 31 March 2026, net interest-bearing debt, totalled DKK 935 million corresponding to an increase of DKK 133 million since the beginning of the year.

    H+H's financing is subject to usual financial covenants, which have been fulfilled in the first quarter of 2026 and are also expected to be fulfilled for the full year 2026.

  10. Share-based payment

    The performance-share-units schemes for 2025 and 2024 are active and presented in the 2025 Annual Report.

    In April 2026, the Board of Directors of H+H International A/S implemented a new long-term incentive programme ("LTIP") being a performance share unit ("PSU") program. At initiation, a total of approximately 133,100 PSUs were granted to the participants, including 41,650 PSUs to CEO Jörg Brinkmann and 17,500 PSUs to CFO Bjarne Pedersen. Based on the average share price for H+H shares trading on the Nasdaq Copenhagen stock exchange during the first ten business days after the release of the 2025 Annual Report on 3 March 2026, the theoretical value per PSU is DKK 83.45, corresponding to a total theoretical value of DKK 11.1 million if all 133,100 were to vest. The vesting period for the PSUs is approximately three years, with vesting being in 2029 when the audited annual report for 2028 is published.
