P&L IMPACT CONTAINED

January 4 – deflagration & fire occurred in sifting area; no casualties, but production of MDF/HDF stopped in

January 2019.

Two belt scales destroyed – need to switch to different mode of choosing proportion of raw materials, scobs &

adhesive in production process in order to restart plant quickly

Production resumed in February, but higher cost of production related to the need to calibrate production

process & higher volume of adhesive used

Lower production and sale of electricity

MARKET OUTLOOKRobust long term growth but facing short-term challenges

Company maintains strong market position

Robust long-term growth prospects fuelled by end-market demand, and healthy GDP growth prospects of German and Polish

economies

In the near-term, we see the following trends:

Softening GDP forecasts for several key markets – GDP expected to decelerate to 1.1% in Germany and 1.5% in EU-28.

Stable demand forecast on premium product markets (e.g. kitchen tops)

Capacity for top kitchen producers in GER (Nobilia, Leicht, Nolte, Pino, Häcker, Schüller, Schmidt, Rotpunkt) expected to

grow in double digits to over 2 mln units in 2021 (vs. 2018) driven by strong export growth in overseas markets

Furniture market still growing, but at lower pace. At the beginning of the year customers continued to destock,

anticipating declining raw material prices

Additions in raw PB and MFC to support long-term growth but create some short-term price pressure

Consequently, PFL continues to focus on implementing commercial & operational initiatives, including growth of (less

cyclical) high value added products, cost out, labour and asset productivity improvements

IMPLEMENTATION

OF STRATEGIC INITIATIVES

28

We ran an extensive bottom-up exercise to define savings measures vs 2018. Both recurrent, but also one-time for

2019 (to compensate for sales challenges).

The team confirmed significant savings potential, and immediately went into implementation where possible. You

can see that the yearly run-rate and the 2019 effective ambitions are close.

Implementation is on a successful track – the team managed to already secure almost half of the savings for 2019,

while there are still other big and small items being addressed.

Given our current progress, we feel high confidence in achieving the projected savings vs 2018

OUTLOOK FOR RAW MATERIALS’ PRICES

PAPER

• Slightly decreasing prices thanks to falling

prices of titandioxid

ENERGY

• In Poland 100% prices hedged for 2019

and 60% hedged for 2020

• Natural hedging in Germany thanks to

energy production

CHEMICALS

• Crude price increases, but lower y/y

• Harvest & fertilizer season ended – higher

supply of urea

• Balanced supply and demand of methanol

– no pressure on methanol prices

• Due to reduced prices of methanol and

urea also decreasing prices of resins

• Uncertainity of crude oil price increase

impact

WOOD

• Stable wood prices, expectation of

reducing prices in Q2 in forest wood and

pulp wood

• Good availiability of recycling wood
