Q3-2025
MANAGEMENT’S REVIEW
Volumes and prices
Organic growth in the second quarter was 2%.
Sales volumes in Poland grew by 3%, despite a
strong comparison period last year. In the UK,
additional shifts and improved efficiency across
the production network supported an 8%
increase in sales volumes compared to the
same period last year. In contrast, the
challenging German market environment
resulted in a decline in volumes during the
period for CWE.
Overall prices were in line with the same period
last year.
Regional market development
UK
Following strong activity earlier in the year,
market conditions have softened in the UK as
affordability challenges particularly for first-time
buyers continued to weigh on demand. Inflation
has remained high, prompting slower rate cuts
from the Bank of England, while rising bond
yields have kept mortgage rates higher than
expected.
Planning reforms remains a key government
priority however, the anticipated uplift in
newbuild activity has yet to materialise. Over the
longer term, the industry should benefit from
recent government planning reforms, though
progress remains slow as local authorities work
to adopt new local plans and the updated
National Planning Policy Framework. To
complement these supply-side measures and
achieve its housing ambitions, the government
will also need to address demand-side
challenges, particularly those faced by first-time
buyers.
Poland
The Polish housing market remains broadly
stable, though overall activity is lower than a
year ago. Building permits continue to decline as
developers adopt a cautious stance amid
demand uncertainty and elevated financing
costs, despite generally stable credit conditions.
The National Bank of Poland has lowered its
reference rate to 4.5%, marking the third
reduction in six months, yet rates remain among
the highest in Europe.
Rising geopolitical tensions have also pushed
issues of civil security to the forefront of public
and economic discussion. Growing concerns
over personal safety may influence both
homebuyer sentiment and investment decisions,
potentially weighing on the near-term outlook for
the housing market.
Germany
In Germany, building permits have shown some
increases, in recent months after a relatively flat
start to 2025. While this slight uptick is
encouraging, it does not yet indicate a broader
market recovery. Until greater clarity emerges
the outlook remains cautious, and a meaningful
trend reversal is not expected in the short to
medium term.
OTHER KEY EVENTS
Reorganisation of Germany
As announced in company announcement no.
584, a reorganisation of the setup in Germany
has been initiated. The transition from a
nationally focused business model to a regional
structure will enable us to operate with a lower
cost base and enhance regional profitability.
During Q3, we recognised special items of DKK
43 million related to the programme, primarily
covering severance costs. For the full year, we
expect total expenses in the range of DKK 50–
70 million.

Revenue in the CWE region decreased by 6% to
DKK 255 million compared to DKK 272 million in
Q3 2024. Organic growth in the region was
negative 7% in Q3 2025 driven by lower
volumes.
Revenue in the UK increased in Q3 2025 by 6%
to DKK 247 million compared to DKK 234 million
in Q3 2024. Organic growth of 8% in Q3 2025
was driven by higher volumes.
Revenue in Poland increased by 6% to DKK 236
million compared to DKK 223 million in Q3 2024.

quarters.

items margins of 13% and 14%, respectively.
Depreciation and amortisation

Tax
Tax for Q3 2025 amounted to a net expense of
DKK 10 million compared to a net tax expense
of DKK 7 million in Q3 2024. The effective tax
rate is driven by tax losses in Germany not
being capitalised while other markets generate
taxable results.
Result for the period
Result for the period amounted to a loss of DKK
10 million and is attributable to H+H International
A/S’ shareholders by loss of DKK 12 million and
a profit to non-controlling interests by DKK 2
million compared to DKK 19 million in Q3 2024,
allocated with a profit of DKK 17 million and a
profit of DKK 2 million, respectively.
Comprehensive income
Other comprehensive income for Q3 2025
amounted to negative DKK 5 million compared
to negative DKK 16 million in Q3 2024. The
year-on-year development was mainly driven by
the development in actuarial gain and losses in
Q3 2024.

Interim financial report
Q3-2025
NOTES
1. Accounting policies
The interim financial report for the period 1 January to 30 September 2025 has been prepared in
accordance with the IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” as adopted by the EU and additional Danish
disclosure requirements for the interim financial reports of listed companies. The application of IAS 34
means that the disclosures are more limited than in a complete annual report, but that the interim financial
report complies with the recognition and measurement principles in the International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS). The interim financial report has not been reviewed by H+H’s auditors.
The accounting policies are consistent with those applied in the 2024 Annual Report, which includes a full
description of the accounting policies applied.
2. Adoption of new and revised IFRSs
H+H International A/S has adopted all new or revised and amended International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRSs) and interpretations (IFRIC) issued by IASB and endorsed by the EU effective for the
financial year 2025. It is assessed that the revisions and amendments have not had a material impact on
the consolidated financial statements.
3. Risk Management
H+H’s principal risks and the external factors that may affect H+H are provided in the 2024 Annual
Report. These are unchanged as of 30 September 2025.
4. Significant accounting estimates and judgements
Determining the carrying amounts of some assets and liabilities requires Management to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions concerning future events. The estimates and assumptions made
are based on historical experience and other factors that are believed by Management to be sound under
the circumstances but that, by their nature, are uncertain and unpredictable. Financial statement items in
which more significant accounting estimates and judgements are applied are listed in Note 2 of the 2024
Annual report for H+H International A/S. In addition, significant estimates has been made in assessing
the recoverable amount for assets impacted by the German market situation, see note 8.
The estimates and assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unforeseen events or
circumstances may occur. Moreover, the H+H Group is subject to risks and uncertainties that may lead to
the actual outcomes vary from these estimates and assumptions. It may be necessary to change
estimates and assumptions made previously as a result of changes in the factors on which these were
based or as a result of new knowledge or subsequent events.
5. Seasonal fluctuations
The sales pattern for H+H’s products is seasonal. Sales in the second and third quarters are traditionally
higher than during the rest of the year. As a part of H+H’s cost base is not directly variable with revenue,
deviations from projected sales may result in fluctuations in the Company’s earnings.

7. Geographical information
When presenting information on geographical areas, information on revenue is based on countries with
the exception of the “Central Western Europe” region which comprises Germany, Switzerland, Denmark,
Sweden, the Czech Republic, Netherlands and Belgium. Revenue for Germany for Q3 2025 amounted to
DKK 144 million compared to DKK 163 million in Q3 2024 and DKK 422 million for the first nine months of
2025 compared to DKK 461 million for the nine months of 2024.
8. Special items, net
As a result of the persistently low-volume environment in the German market and increasing competitive
pressure, H+H decided to close down some of the previously mothballed factories permanently and
restructure the German organisation. Therefore, an assessment of the recoverable amounts of production
and related equipment, closed down plants and the overall market in general has been carried out. The
assessment has led to the recognition of impairment losses of DKK 312 million which have been
recognised in the profit and loss statement as a special item.

Interim financial report
Q3-2025
The review included an assessment of estimated sales value less cost to sell or disposal for all closed
sites, which has been based on initial discussion with potential buyers and historically experience.
The main classes of assets affected by the impairment losses are various operational production assets,
i.e. machinery and equipment used in production, buildings and other related idle assets.
Moreover, the intangible assets related to our German market was reviewed for possible impairment
need, i.e. if the given asset do still have any use for H+H or whether the future cash flows coming for the
relevant CGU would cover the carrying value. Based on this an impairment of DKK 300 million were
recognised. The main classes of assets affected by this impairment relates to Goodwill (DKK 250 million),
Customer Relations (DKK 32 million) and Other Intangibles (DKK 18 million). See note 9 for further
details on the goodwill impairment test.
In addition, the aforementioned re-organisation of the German business was started in Q3 2025, and
consequently restructuring cost of DKK 43 million has been recognised as special items and comprise
directly associated costs to the German re-organisation including costs related to termination of
employees.
Special items in the first nine months of 2024 relates mainly to the day one loss from settling gas
contracts, reflecting the loss at the time of falling outside the own-use exemption amounting to DKK 110
million and restructuring costs of DKK 41 million.
9. Impairment testing of goodwill and non-current assets
The Group performs impairment tests on intangibles, i.e. goodwill and customer contracts, annually and
whenever there is an indication that intangibles may be impaired. The annual impairment test is
performed as per 31 December based on financial budgets approved by management covering the
following financial year. As of 30 June 2025, the Group performed a review for indications of impairments.
Due to the persistently low-volume market and increasing competitive situation, Management assessed
that impairment indicators for the CWE region existed, and as such an impairment test were carried out.
The performance for Q3 2025 were in line with expectations and there has not been any material
changes to the forecast applied for the CWE impairment testing conducted as of 30 June 2025.
Therefore, Management has assessed there is no indication of additional impairment need as of 30
September 2025, and thus no impairment testing has been performed.
Impairment testing as of 30 June 2025
The impairment test for CWE resulted in recognition of an goodwill impairment loss of DKK 250 million in
addition to the DKK 50 million impairment of customer contracts and software systems which no longer
has any value to H+H and DKK 272 million write down of property, plant and equipment to fair value less
cost to sell as described in note 8 Special items. For the purpose of the impairment testing of goodwill the
recoverable amounts was defined as the value in use calculated by using a discounted cash flow model
(‘DCF’).
Management lowered its expectations in the forecasting period to an average growth of 2.8% (previously
9.3%) mainly driven by no signs of a pick-up of the volumes on the short and mid-term and an average
gross margin increase in the forecast period of 1.3% (previously 2.7%). The WACC is based on generally
applied principles including the determination of return on equity and cost of debt. Components for the
return on equity, the marked risk premium, company specific risk premium and beta-values, is
benchmarked to external information. The slight decrease compared to 31 December 2024 is mainly due
to a slight decrease in interest rates. The weighted average growth rate used for the terminal period for
the year after 2029 was estimated at 2.0% (31 December 2024: 2.0%).
Applied assumptions and carrying amounts for CWE are illustrated below.

Interim financial report
Q3-2025
Sensitivity for changes in key assumptions
The results of the goodwill impairment tests are impacted by the key assumptions outlined above.
Change in gross margin of 0.5%-point impacts the results by approximately DKK 75 million. A change in
revenue of 2.0%-point impacts the results by approximately DKK 40 million. A change of WACC after tax
or terminal period growth of 0.5%-point impacts the result by approximately DKK 70 million.
10. Pension obligations
H+H has defined-benefit pension plans in the UK, Switzerland, and Germany. The UK and Swiss pension
plans are managed by a pension fund to which payments are made, whereas the German pension plan is
funded from current earnings. H+H’s pension obligations predominantly relate to the plans in the UK.
For interim periods, H+H’s defined-benefit pension obligations are based on valuations from external
actuaries carried out at the end of prior financial year considering any subsequent movements in the
obligation due to pension costs, contributions etc. up until the reporting date. Actuarial calculations are
updated or extrapolated quarterly.
The net pension obligation on 30 September 2025 amounts to DKK 17 million, compared to DKK 21
million on 31 December 2024. The decrease is driven by payments, interest, value adjustment and
currency adjustment.
11. Financial resources and cash flow
On 30 September 2025, net interest-bearing debt, totalled DKK 779 million corresponding to an increase
of DKK 97 million since the beginning of the year. The increase is primarily driven by a negative working
capital development in the first six months of 2025.
H+H’s financing is subject to usual financial covenants, which have been fulfilled in the first nine months
of 2025 and are also expected to be fulfilled for the full year 2025.
12. Share-based payment
The performance-share-units schemes for 2023 and 2024 are active and presented in the 2024 Annual
Report.
In April 2025, the Board of Directors of H+H International A/S implemented a new long-term incentive
programme (“LTIP”) being a performance share unit (“PSU”) program. At initiation, a total of
approximately 114,600 PSUs were granted to the participants, including 30,400 PSUs to CEO Jörg
Brinkmann and 12,350 PSUs to CFO Bjarne Pedersen. Based on the average share price for H+H shares
trading on the Nasdaq Copenhagen stock exchange during the first ten business days after the release of
the 2024 Annual Report on 4 March 2025, the theoretical value per PSU is DKK 111.32, corresponding to
a total theoretical value of DKK 12.8 million if all 114,600 PSU’s were to vest. The vesting period for the
PSUs is approximately three years, with vesting being in 2028 when the audited annual report for 2027 is
published.
