Roblon reports better-than-expected revenue and earnings for Q1 2021/22
Interim report – Q1 2021/22 (the period 1 November 2021 – 31 January 2022)

Highlights of the interim report of the Roblon Group:

As expected, in Q1 2021/22 Roblon was adversely impacted by challenges owing to the COVID-19 pandemic with respect to transport and logistics, supply of raw materials and market impacts. Despite these challenges, the Group's reported revenue and earnings for Q1 2021/22 exceeded the guidance. The improvement was mainly driven by growth in the US subsidiary.

As described in company announcement no. 1/2022, the Group acquired the Czech company Vamafil spol. s.r.o at 3 January 2022. A preliminary purchase price allocation has been made in the amount of approximately EURm 7.3 (DKKm 54.6).

In Q1 2021/22, Roblon increased its long-term credit facilities by DKKm 75 to support the acquisition of Vamafil and the Group's growth strategy. In February 2022, Roblon took out a DKKm 10 mortgage on the Company's buildings in Gærum to further strengthen its long-term capital resources.

The analyses of the IFRIC agenda decision on the accounting treatment of customisation costs in a cloud computing arrangement, as mentioned in the 2020/21 annual report, have been completed. The conclusion is that the Group's accounting policies will not be affected by IFRIC's agenda decision.

The 2021/22 full-year guidance is unchanged compared with latest guidance.

Guidance for full year 2021/22

The guidance is subject to uncertainty due to the adverse impact of COVID-19 in all the Group's markets, causing supply shortages of certain raw materials and components. The assessment is that the war in Ukraine could give rise to additional challenges.

Roblon has ceased all sales to Russia and Belarus as a result of the war in Ukraine. Historically, the Group has not had significant business activities in either Russia, Belarus or Ukraine.

After Q1 2021/22, Management maintains its full-year guidance for 2021/22 as follows:
