MASTERPLAST
Founded in 1997, Masterplast Group is the largest Hungarian-owned building materials manufacturing company in the Central European region. It has a direct market presence in 10 European countries through its subsidiaries and is present in most European countries through its export partners. It has a strong position in the market for façade insulation, high roof insulation and dry construction systems.
It ensures its product background mainly through manufacturing at its ISO and TÜV certified production sites in Hungary, Serbia and Germany and through strategic manufacturing partnerships. In 2020, the company entered the healthcare segment, and its
strategic goal is to make the modular business division a success as soon as possible. Due to the growing demand for fibre insulation materials, the company's focus in 2023 was on the establishment of rock wool and glass wool insulation material plants to meet the needs of the Hungarian and Central and Eastern European markets.
Masterplast provides competitive business services to its partners through a well-established customer-oriented sales system, continuous quality control of manufactured and distributed products, a stable product supply background and flexible logistics solutions.
SUMMARY In the first quarter of 2025, certain segments of the construction industry began to show signs of mild recovery, which is encouraging for the future. However, no substantial increase in demand has yet emerged in the markets relevant to the Company. Primarily due to the sales of the HEM, the Company's revenue increased by 2% compared to the same period of the previous year. The focus remained on efficient operations, which ensured sustainable and profitable performance even in a subdued market environment and under lower capacity utilisation. As a result of reorganisations and other efficiency-improving measures, EBITDA increased by 14%, or EUR 117 thousand, compared to the base period, along with an improvement in the operating profit margin. Unlike in the base period, unfavourable exchange rate movements this time resulted in financial losses - largely unrealised - for the Company, and therefore the profit after tax closed with a loss of EUR 2,2 million in the first quarter of 2025. The Company's existing insulation material capacities and the glass wool production facility soon to be launched provide a highly favorable position to capitalize on emerging growth opportunities in the construction industry. The EU's energy efficiency targets guarantee significant market potential in both the renovation and new construction segments. Early signs of a continuously strengthening construction industry outlook are already visible in both the Hungarian and broader European markets.

Construction industry statistics showed signs of recovery in several countries; however, no significant changes have yet materialised in the markets relevant to the Company. Masterplast's sales revenue increased by 2% in the first quarter compared to the same period of the previous year.
At the level of product groups, there was a significant increase in the turnover of the newly launched self-manufactured XPS, as well as in the Heat, sound and water insulation materials included in the slab insulation program. Revenue from the Industrial applications product group also increased substantially, owing to the sales of Certified Energy Savings (HEM). Sales revenue in the other product groups either stagnated or declined in the first quarter. From a geographical perspective, revenue increased in the Hungarian, Polish and Ukrainian markets compared to the base period, while it declined to varying degrees in other countries.
As a result of the organisational adjustments aligned with market demand conditions and the restructuring carried out at the end of last year, the Company's
production units operated more cost-effectively overall. Personnel expenses decreased by 2%. The closing headcount - 1 111 employees - was 120 lower than the closing headcount of the base period, which was one of the key factors contributing to the improvement in profitability.
The Group's operating EBITDA amounted to a profit of EUR 973 thousand (EBITDA ratio of 2,9%) in Q1 2025, compared to a profit of EUR 856 thousand (EBITDA ratio of 2,6%) in the base period.
The increase in recognised depreciation was due to the launch of the XPS and EPS production units in 2024. Taking depreciation into account, the Company's EBIT result in the first quarter of 2025 was a loss of EUR 835 thousand, nearly the same as in the base period.

Exchange rate movements had an adverse effect on the Company's financial result; as a consequence, a financial loss was recognised under financial operations, in contrast to the base period. The profit after tax of the Company was a loss of EUR 2 194 thousand in Q1 2025, compared to a profit of EUR 53 thousand in the same period of the previous year.
In light of the EU's energy policy objectives and the package of measures introduced to support them, the Company's medium- and long-term business outlook in the thermal insulation market is positive. On the Company's key markets, the emergence of incentives and developments is already evident, suggesting a short-term boost in demand and a sharp growth trajectory in the coming years. Building on these
trends, the Company aims to achieve higher utilization of its current production capacities and is confident in the successful launch of its new glass wool plant. At Pimco Kft., the synchronization of technological processes is scheduled for the second quarter of 2025, followed by the start of regular production in the third quarter.
In the first quarter of 2025, the Company successfully completed a capital increase in the amount of EUR 15 040 thousand (HUF 6 billion). The cash contribution was provided by the MFB Corporate Investment and Transaction Private Equity Fund, which significantly strengthened Masterplast's liquidity position.
BUSINESS PROSPECTS
The main objective of the European Union's Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) is to significantly reduce the energy consumption of buildings through energy efficiency measures and to achieve the EU's climate neutrality target for 2050. It requires Member States to draw up national plans to gradually improve the energy efficiency of the building stock, including increasing the renovation rate and developing long-term strategies.
This leads to regulatory changes across Member States and the launch of renovation programmes throughout Europe, which in the medium and long term implies a significant increase in demand in the thermal insulation industry. In Hungary, the Company's largest market, the government supports the construction and housing sectors through 10 out of the 21 points adopted in its New Economic Policy Action Plan. Within the framework of the new home renovation programme, families living in houses built before 2007 can receive support under extremely favourable conditions for energy efficiency upgrades. The programme has already been simplified for the benefit of applicants and, in line with the proposals of expert committees, the scope of eligibility is expected to be further expanded. The Rural Home Renovation Programme, starting in 2025, also anticipates increased activity in the renovation market, as it provides assistance to a wider range of residents of settlements with fewer than 5 000 inhabitants, not only for energy-related works.
A positive indicator for the industry is the upturn in Hungary's housing market activity in the first quarter, which may stimulate investments in the new construction segment. Since early 2025, the building materials trading sector has experienced strong demand for products related to structural construction.
The legislative amendments passed in May 2025 represent a growing business potential for the market of Certified Energy Savings (HEMs), in which the Company has been active since the fourth quarter of 2024. HEM refers to a limited-transferability asset-based right generated through energy efficiency investments. These rights can be sold under the framework of the Energy Efficiency Obligation Scheme (EKR) to entities subject to mandatory energy savings targets. The amendment to the legislation adopted in May 2025 increases the required level of energy savings and places greater emphasis on residential energy reductions. In September 2024, Masterplast launched the Hungarocell Renovation Programme -the first initiative in Hungary to provide benefits linked to HEM generation in connection with façade insulation of single-family homes. In addition, the Company also participates in attic renovation programmes operating on a similar basis through its partner network. Business opportunities related to HEMs are expected to expand dynamically from the second half of 2025.
The interest rate cuts introduced by the European Central Bank are expected to gradually stimulate real estate development across European markets, potentially initiating a lasting positive trend for the product categories manufactured by Masterplast.
As an established participant in the Ukrainian construction market, the Company is well positioned to benefit from the anticipated reconstruction activities in Ukraine. Recent changes in international politics have created a realistic opportunity for a ceasefire agreement.
Accordingly, a continuation of the improving trend is expected for 2025, while a more robust market recovery and a breakthrough in earnings are forecast for 2026.The Company's existing capacities provide a solid basis for capitalising on favourable market trends. In recent years, the Group has carried out production development investments of significant value. It has substantially increased its capacity in fibreglass mesh and roofing membrane manufacturing, enabling the Group to serve the premium segment with the highest
quality requirements. Its thermal insulation capacity has also been expanded with two new EPS and one XPS production plants. The upcoming launch of glass wool insulation production is expected to play a key role in achieving the Company's strategic vision - to become, by the second half of the decade, a thermal insulation manufacturer with strong production and market positions in both plastic- and mineral-based insulation materials.
Construction of the glass wool plant in Szerencs - situated on a 4.3-hectare site and supported by a non-refundable HIPA grant of HUF 5.645 billion - is progressing according to plan, in partnership with Selena FM S.A. of Poland, which holds a 50% stake in
the project. Trial production is scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2025, with regular manufacturing operations expected to commence in the third quarter of 2025. One of the key raw materials used in the product is waste glass, which will be recycled during production in accordance with the principles of circular economy.
In the Company's view, the growing shortage of skilled labour in the construction industry is expected to drive increased demand for prefabrication. Modular construction is likely to gain further importance, and the Company hopes to align well with this trend through its ongoing developments.
Industrial environment
The external economic and industrial environment has a significant effect on the production and sale of the insulation and other construction materials, which are the main activities of the Masterplast. While the sale of the constructional and accessories products is mainly in relation with the new buildings market, the insulation related materials (primarily the heat insulation) depend on both the new building and home renovation markets.
Due to the result of the events of recent periods - the Russian-Ukrainian war, the pandemic measures, and the energy crisis -, the persistently unfavourable macroeconomic environment (high inflation and high interest rates worldwide) regarding the narrowed construction industry demand at the European level, still did not bring a significant revitalization either in the new construction market or in the renovation segment.
New economic policy measures to stimulate housing construction have been or will be launched this year in several European countries, and further stabilization of interest rates is also expected.
In the Hungarian market, the "Home Renovation Program for Residential Energy Efficiency Investments" and the "Rural Home Renovation Program" are demand-stimulating measures expected to contribute significantly to construction sector turnover this year. According to feedback from Masterplast's partners, the first quarter showed a rise in residential interest within the sector; however, the revenue impact of this is expected to materialize in the second half of the year. As for industrial investments, the market experienced a weak quarter, with a low number of commercial developments and public projects during the period. Although housing construction statistics showed signs of improvement
- with a considerable number of flats sold - developers have begun new condominium projects, resulting in a marked increase in the number of building permits. Nevertheless, the financial impact of this growth will be only really reflected in Masterplast's revenues next year.
In Poland, the economic upturn that began at the end of 2024 has continued. Although the number of
building permits issued for residential constructions has declined, the share of private investors among developers has increased, and larger-scale government-funded projects have also appeared within the scope of industrial investments.
In Serbia, economic activity remained subdued in the first quarter. Caution persisted in the construction sector, with a slight decline in overall construction performance. Nevertheless, certain segments showed growth - including an increase in both the number building permits issued and value of residential property developments
The German construction industry continues to face significant challenges, marked by inflation, high construction material costs, elevated interest rates, and declining demand. Following the elections held at the beginning of the year, a construction stimulus package is expected to be introduced. Its impact is expected to be felt before the end of the year, potentially alleviating the current severe housing shortage.
In Romania, following a weak performance in 2024, the construction sector showed signs of growth in the first quarter of 2025. Both construction output and the number of permits issued increased. However, the sector continues to face challenges such as rising material costs, labor shortages, and uncertainty of public investments.
In Ukraine, the construction sector demonstrated positive momentum during the period, despite being hindered by the ongoing war, labor shortages, uncertainty in energy supply, and damaged infrastructure. Growth was recorded only in the non-residential segment, particularly in logistics, industrial, and commercial real estate developments.
In the smaller Slovak and Croatian markets, a mild recovery in the construction sector was observed during the first quarter. The European Union provided substantial support to Slovakia to promote construction investments.
Overall, the industry environment presented a mixed picture in the recent period; the slow recovery in demand and the expected upturn in new construction
activity are anticipated to impact the Company's performance only at a later stage. However, Masterplast continues to expect a strengthening economy situation in the Hungarian and international markets for 2025. Within the construction sector, modernization efforts have increasingly focused on energy efficiency. With the adoption of the European Union's directive on building energy, energy efficiency renovation programs are expected to be launched
Analysis of turnoveracross Europe in 2025, likely stimulating the renovation market. In Hungary, the recent amendment to the Energy Efficiency Obligation Scheme aims to help meet national energy efficiency targets by promoting long-term energy savings, particularly through the renovation of residential and public buildings.

Masterplast's quarterly sales revenue in the first quarter was 2% higher than in the base quarter.
Almost half of the sales revenue is represented by the Thermal insulation system product group. This segment recorded a 13% decline in the first quarter. The turnover of the company's own-manufactured fiberglass mesh decreased to a greater extent, especially in export areas, but overall, none of the product categories was able to grow in the quarter in this group.
Sales revenues in the Roofing foils and accessories product group closed at the same level as base quarter, and within this, the turnover of own-
produced diffusion roofing foils decreased. There was a decline in the Dry construction system group as well as in the case of Building industry accessories. The Heat, sound and water insulation materials group performed well, where Masterplast's recently introduced own-produced XPS product achieved an increase in sales, but sales of glass and rock wool also increased significantly.
In the industrial applications product group increased compared to last year's base. The sale of the limited marketable property rights (so-called HEM) is also recorded here, which generated significant revenue for the product group.

The breakdown of sales by country shows the revenue realized in countries where Masterplast has its own subsidiaries, regardless of which subsidiary made the sale in the territory of the given country. Turnover in countries without subsidiaries are reported as Exports.
In the Hungarian market, the revenue was mixed in terms of product groups. Sales of roofing foils and accessories, including the sales of our own-manufactured diffusion roofing membranes, as well as Heat, sound and water insulation materials increased, while sales of the Thermal insulation system and Dry construction system product groups decreased.
The national facade thermal insulation discount program launched by the Company last year ended on 30 April 2025, due to changes in the EKR laws changing this year. Of course, Masterplast would like to return to the Hungarian market with a modified program in
accordance with the new legal regulations in the near future.
Furthermore, in Q1 the Company also participated in the insulation of the attic floor program together with its insulation partners. In connection with the programs, as a result of the energy savings, the HEM sales also significantly contributed to the 31% turnover increase achieved in the Hungarian market.
In Poland, noteworthy revenue growth was also achieved in the first quarter, where fiberglass sales increased the most.
In Serbia, Germany and Ukraine, turnover remained essentially unchanged, the sales revenue was similar to the base year.
In the other regions, so in the export, Romanian, Italian, Slovak, Croatian and North Macedonian areas, the quarterly turnover decreased compared to last year.
Based on these, it can be stated that the Group's revenue in the first quarter increased as expected compared to the base year.

The Group's sales revenue in the first quarter of 2025 was EUR 33 451 thousand, which is 2% higher than the value of the base period.
The value of materials and services used - taking into account the change in stock of self-produced inventories - is 3% higher than the base year. The increase is mostly related to other services, where the costs related to HEM authentication occurred to a greater extent.
The production units continued to operate at lower capacity utilization. Thanks to the organization restructured to meet demand conditions and the organizational restructuring at the end of last year, the company's own production capacities operated more cost-effectively overall.
Personnel expenses decreased compared to the base period, due to the reorganizations implemented at the end of last year to increase operational efficiency. The
closing headcount for the period is 1 111 people, 120 people lower than the closing headcount for the base period in 2024.
The Company's depreciation and amortisation expense increased by 7% compared to the base period, mostly due to the start-up of the XPS and EPS production units.
Masterplast recorded a profit of EUR 332 thousand in the line of Other operating revenues and expenses. This item includes the grant income released in proportion to the amortization, related to the previous investments.
The Group's operating EBITDA in Q1 2025 was a gain of EUR 973 thousand euros (2,9% EBITDA ratio) compared to a profit of EUR 856 thousand (2,6% EBITDA ratio) in the base period. Taking into account depreciation, the company's cumulative EBIT result is a loss of EUR 835 thousand, which loss is EUR 3 thousand less than a year earlier.
The Company's interest income decreased slightly, while interest expenses increased in the quarter. Overall, interest loss closed at higher level than in the base period.
Other income/expenditure on financial operations mainly includes exchange rate gains and losses. In the quarter under review, exchange rate changes had favourable effect on the Group's result. The Group purchases the majority of its products in HUF and USD, which are sold in local currencies, and therefore foreign currency movements affect the Group's results. The currencies of the majority of countries are pegged to the euro, so movements in EUR/USD affect the exchange rate results for dollar-based purchases. In total, the Company recorded a loss of EUR 1 456 thousand as a financial result.
As a result, the Company's profit after tax in the Q1 2025 was a loss of EUR 2 194 thousand, compared to a profit of EUR 53 thousand a year earlier.

The value of fixed assets at the end of Q1 2025 stood at EUR 131 418 thousand.
