Recticel Results and Divestiture Update
Recticel Trading update third quarter 2022
Regulated information, Brussels, 28/10/2022 — 06:59 CET, 28.10.2022
- Third quarter net sales increase from €107.6 million in 2021 to €153.5 million (+42.7%) in 2022, of which €51.7 million contribution from Trimo, a €8.9 million reduction following the phasing out of sales of chemicals to divested Automotive companies and -0.2% currency effect
- Year-to-date September net sales increase from € 337.2 million in 2021 to €427.9 million in 2022 (+26.9%), of which €90.3 million contribution from Trimo, and a €39.9 million reduction following the phasing out of sales of chemicals to divested Automotive companies and +0.3% currency effect
- Closing of the divestment of Engineered Foams expected at the latest by 1Q2023
Olivier Chapelle (CEO Recticel): “The trends observed during the first half of 2022 have continued in the third quarter. The European construction market is extremely challenging with high inflation and is weakening. During the third quarter volumes have been slightly lower than in 2021. Our teams remain focussed on adapting to the changing environment.
The divestment of Engineered Foams is expected to close at the latest by the first quarter of 2023, following the decision on 2 September 2022 by the Competition and Markets Authority in the UK to fast track the approval process.
Our Insulation business is well positioned to respond to the immense challenges of our society: climate change, energy saving, and regional energy independence. Through innovation, organic growth, and M&A activities, we are dedicated to deliver on our growth promise.”
OUTLOOK
In this challenging overall environment, we expect Adjusted Ebitda of our continued business to reach between €60 and €65 million for the full year 2022.

Holcim Makes Another Acquisition
Holcim closes Polymers Sealants North America acquisition
![](https://a.mpcdn.io/everchem/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-07-at-12.27.27-PM.png?auto=compress%2Cformat&fit=scale&h=262&ixlib=php-3.3.1&w=1024&wpsize=large)
- Leading provider of coating, adhesive and sealant solutions with 2022 net sales of USD 100 million
- Expanded waterproofing and coating solutions deliver significant roofing synergies
- Accelerates Holcim’s growth in Solutions & Products to reach 30% of Group net sales by 2025
Holcim has completed the acquisition of the Polymers Sealants North America (PSNA) division of Illinois Tool Works. PSNA is a leader in coating, adhesive and sealant solutions with 2022 estimated net sales of USD 100 million. With more than 150 employees and manufacturing plants in California, Arizona, Texas, Georgia and Massachusetts, PSNA will accelerate the growth of Solutions & Products, especially in waterproofing and coatings. PSNA’s innovation-driven approach is highly complementary to Holcim’s existing building envelope business and is expected to generate significant synergies.
Jamie Gentoso, Head Solutions & Products: “With PSNA we are broadening our waterproofing and coatings offering while delivering significant synergies with our roofing business. Building on their proven engineering and technical expertise, we will accelerate new product development and leading solutions together. I warmly welcome all PSNA employees into the Holcim family and look forward to investing in this business’ next era of growth together. By expanding our building envelope offering, together we can play a bigger role in providing innovative and sustainable solutions for energy-efficient buildings.”
PSNA’s innovation-driven solutions are used in construction as well as other industries such as aerospace composites and wind energy. PSNA is ideally positioned to capitalize on high-growth areas such as commercial re-roofing, green building and energy efficiency. This transaction adds to Holcim’s other recent acquisitions in roofing and insulation, from Firestone Building Products, Malarkey Roofing Products to SES. Pro-forma net sales for Holcim’s roofing and insulation business are on track to reach CHF 3.5 billion for 2022.
