EBIT margin reached\n12.9 percent.\n* In H1 2026, EBIT reached 249 MEUR with an EBIT margin of 13.1 percent.\n* Investments in H1 2026 reached 353 MEUR excluding acquisitions, an increase\nof 182 MEUR compared to last year.\nOutlook full-year 2026:\n\nAfter delivering record high Q2 revenue driven by volume growth, we expect the\nbroad-based momentum to continue through second half of 2026. Q2 volume growth\nincluded market share gains, supported by narrowing pricing gaps to competing\ninsulation materials. We anticipate full-year revenue growth will be driven by\nboth volume and sales price increases introduced to compensate inflation on\nenergy and raw materials. However, we expect growth to be partly constrained\nby sourcing limitations in North America.\n\nH1 2026 EBIT margin reached 13.1 percent and represents a satisfactory result.\nWe maintain our expectation for full-year EBIT margin in the range of 13-14\npercent. While sales price increases will support margins, the benefit will be\npartly offset by North American sourcing constraints, elevated maintenance\ncosts and a less favourable product and country mix.\n\nOur large investment projects are on track. Significant supply contracts are\nbeing finalised in 2026, with timing of down-payments driving our investment\noutlook to around 750 MEUR for the year.\n\nBased on this, we forecast full-year revenue growth of 5-7 percent, changed\nfrom previously between 3-6 percent and the investment level to be around 750\nMEUR excluding acquisitions, changed from previously around 700 MEUR. The\noutlook for EBIT margin is maintained between 13-14 percent.\n\nROCKWOOL Group will publish its full Q2 and H1 2026 results later today.\n\nFurther information:        \n\nKim Junge Andersen\nChief Financial Officer\nROCKWOOL A/S\n+45 46 56 03 00\n\nAttachment\n*     SE-2026-21_EN\n(https://ml-eu.globenewswire.com/Resource/Download/fdf8bbc9-f2e7-4c05-9225-7d8f5d0eb50e)","article_body_html":"","raw_payload":{"data":{"id":"nGNE5sLzq8","title":"REG-ROCKWOOL adjusts upwards its outlook for full-year 2026 revenue growth and investments","author":"Globe Newswire","ticker":"ROCKB","created":"2026-08-19T08:06:37.075Z","tickers":["ROCKB"],"exchange":"Nasdaq Copenhagen","article_body":"Company announcement\nfor ROCKWOOL A/S   \nRelease no. 21 – 2026\nto Nasdaq Copenhagen\n\n19 August 2026\n\nROCKWOOL adjusts upwards its outlook for full-year 2026 revenue growth and\ninvestments\n\nReflecting broad-based sales momentum and timing of major investment\ncommitments, ROCKWOOL raises its 2026 outlook for revenue growth and\ninvestments as follows:\n* Revenue growth is now expected between 5-7 percent, raised from previously\n3-6 percent.\n* The investment level is expected to be around 750 MEUR excluding\nacquisitions, changed from previously around 700 MEUR.\nQ2 and H1 2026 highlights:\n* Q2 2026 delivered strong 10 percent revenue growth in local currencies\ncompared to last year with a record high revenue of 1,000 MEUR.\n* Revenue in H1 2026 reached 1,906 MEUR, an increase of six percent measured\nin local currencies and five percent in reported figures compared to last\nyear.\n* In Q2 2026, EBIT increased three percent to 129 MEUR.
