Capital Market Day 2015 - new financial ambitions

Today, the ROCKWOOL Group is hosting a Capital Market Day starting at 10:30 (CET).

Executive Management will present the new financial ambitions for the period 2016-2018 as approved by the Board of Directors today:

* Organic sales growth 2-4% per annum
* Gradual improvement of EBIT margin to 10% in 2018
* Gradual improvement of Return on Invested Capital to 14-15% in 2018

As a boundary condition, the Equity ratio shall remain above 60% to counterbalance high operational leverage and cyclical end markets. The realisation of the goals is based on the assumption that no major acquisitions take place.

At the Capital Market Day we will provide more details of the recently announced ROCKWOOL Business Transformation Program as well as an update on our ceiling business in the U.S.

The day will include the following presentations:

* Q3 update by Gilles Maria, CFO
* The ROCKWOOL Business Transformation Program by Jens Birgersson, CEO
* The Regional strategy revisited by Jens Birgersson, CEO
* Leveraging our Systems business – the US ceiling market by John Medio, Managing Director, ROCKFON North America
* Strengthening operations and simplifying the organisation by Jens Birgersson CEO
* Impact on financial ambitions by Gilles Maria, CFO

The event will be streamed live via webcast and presentations will be made available after the event at the following link: www.rockwool.com/cmd
