Reference is made to the notification earlier today, 9 November at 07:00
CET.Correction related to Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter.

BEWI, a leading provider of packaging, components, and insulation solutions,
today reported its results for the third quarter of 2022. The company recorded
net sales of 267.5 million euro for the third quarter of 2022, up by 39 per cent
compared to the 193.0 million euro for the same quarter last year. 15 per cent
of the growth was organic, mainly explained by higher sales prices. Adjusted
EBITDA came in at 34.4 million, up from EUR 34.2 million recorded for the Third
quarter of 2021.

"We are very pleased to deliver another quarter with growth and solid results,
considering the increasingly challenging market conditions. Through the recent
acquisitions, we expand geographically and further strengthen our positions in
strategically important markets and segments," says Christian Bekken, CEO of
BEWI ASA.

For the first nine months of 2022, BEWI had revenues of 774.7 million euro,
compared to 540.0 million for the same period last year, representing 44 per
cent growth, of which 23 per cent was organic.

All segments, except Circular, contribute to the organic growth, mainly due to
strong price management. Styrene raw material prices continued to increase into
the third quarter and dropped towards the end of the quarter. The gross margin
for segment RAW remained solid, but expectations of decreasing raw material
prices in combination with increased uncertainty related to the current macro
climate impacted the segment's volumes negatively.

During the third quarter, BEWI closed its acquisition of the Lithuanian
insulation company BalPol, and on 19 October, the company closed its acquisition
of Jackon transaction.

"We are glad to finally be able to complete the Jackon transaction, welcoming
more than 900 new employees to our company. Now, we can focus fully on the
integration, including extracting the significant synergies we have identified.
We believe this will enable us to maintain a strong EBITDA level going forward,
although we expect to see softer volumes to selected industries given the
current market conditions," Bekken continues.

BEWI's key markets include food packaging, insulation, HVAC (heating,
ventilation, air-condition), and the automotive industry. Although the company
sees signs of slowdown, there are variations across the end markets. Food
packaging is expected to remain stable and the demand for HVAC solutions is
strong. The building and construction industry is forecasted to decline next
year, impacting some of the company's portfolio short term. However, the company
expect a stable long-term demand for its insulation solutions, supported by
strong underlying fundamentals, including the need to improve energy efficiency
in buildings and related regulations. Further, growth in automotive demand is
improving slightly as supply chain issues seem to be easing.

"We believe BEWI is financially and operationally robust, and well positioned in
the current challenging markets. Uncertainty has increased for the short- to
medium term outlook, and we have therefore initiated preventive measures for
improved cost control, combined with planned activities for cost reduction
following integration of Jackon," Bekken concludes.
