Borregaard ASA: All-time high EBITDA of NOK 416 million in the 2nd quarter

Borregaard’s operating revenues reached NOK 1,511 million (NOK 1,358 million)²
in the 2(nd) quarter of 2021. EBITDA¹ increased to NOK 416 million (NOK 361
million), an all-time high quarterly result for the Group. BioSolutions’ result

improved significantly, BioMaterials achieved a result in line with last year,
whereas Fine Chemicals had a decline. The net currency impact on EBITDA was
negative compared with the 2(nd) quarter of 2020.

EBITDA in BioSolutions improved, mainly as a result of price increases and a
favourable product mix, partly offset by negative net currency effects. For
BioMaterials, high deliveries of speciality cellulose and an improved product
mix compensated for reduced sales prices for certain grades. The decline in Fine
Chemicals was mainly due to non-recurring bioethanol sales to disinfectants in
the 2(nd) quarter last year. A strong production output at the Sarpsborg site
had a positive impact on the Group’s results.

Profit before tax was NOK 296 million (NOK 133 million). Earnings per share was
NOK 2.34 (NOK 1.01).

• We are pleased to deliver an all-time high result for the Group and a
  significant improvement in BioSolutions, says President and CEO Per A. Sørlie.

Borregaard ASA: Borregaard to invest in Alginor ASA

Borregaard will co-invest with the European Innovation Council Fund (EIC Fund)
and the current shareholder Hatteland Group in a direct offering of new shares
in the marine biotech company Alginor ASA. The direct offering will be executed
…

Vis børsmeldingen

in two tranches from the third quarter of 2021 until end of May 2022. In total,
Alginor will raise up to approximately NOK 300 million in new capital from the
direct offering.

In a related transaction, Borregaard will acquire 337,100 shares in Alginor from
a company controlled by founder and CEO, Thorleif Thormodsen, representing 25%
of his shareholding.

In addition, Alginor plans a public equity issue during the autumn of 2021 where
details will be announced in due course.

After these transactions Borregaard will hold 24.99% of the shares in Alginor,
with a total investment of approximately NOK 144 million.

Between May 2022 and end of April 2024, Alginor will execute an additional
direct equity issue exclusively to Borregaard. This equity issue will bring
Borregaard’s ownership in Alginor up to 35% and bring another NOK 126 million in
equity to Alginor. If Borregaard does not fully subscribe to the direct
offering, Borregaard will pay a break fee of NOK 6 million.

Alginor is a Norwegian marine biotech company based in the Haugesund region of
Southwestern Norway. The company is developing a fully integrated and
sustainable value chain based on harvesting and biorefining of the brown kelp
Laminaria hyperborea - a renewable marine resource growing in abundance along
the Norwegian coastline. Through biorefining and total utilisation of the raw
material, Alginor seeks to develop, produce, market and sell a variety of up to
12 kelp-based high-value ingredients to global markets for use in pharmaceutical
and nutraceutical applications.

Through the described equity transactions, Alginor has secured the necessary
funding to scale up its biorefinery concept in the Haugesund area.

• There are striking similarities between Borregaard’s business model and the
  biorefinery concept under development by Alginor. Both strategies are built on
  full utilisation of unique and sustainable raw materials for high-value products
  to global market niches. We realise that it will take time to scale up and fine
  tune production and to establish a global business, but we see this as an
  interesting opportunity with potential synergies between the two companies in
  several functions, says Per A. Sørlie, President and CEO of Borregaard.

• We look forward to having Borregaard on board as a strategic and industrial
  owner after completing an extensive validating process of our technology and
  business plan. Thanks to our dedicated 25 employees, public funding initiatives
  like the EU programmes and our 297 shareholders who have supported us through
  the years, Alginor is now entering a very exciting phase of demonstration and
  upscaling of the company’s core technologies. In this phase, we hope to benefit
  from Borregaard’s relevant competence and biorefinery experience, before taking
  Alginor to the stock exchange within 3 years, says Thorleif Thormodsen, CEO of
  Alginor.

• The European Investment Council has supported the development of innovative
  technology by Alginor with grants through various EU programmes (SME Instrument
  phase 1, SME Instrument phase 2, Eurostars initiatives). Now, when the company
  is moving into the next phase, the EIC Fund helps to crowd in private investors
  and alongside with them provides additional equity under the EU’s Green Deal to
  advance this exciting technology. We see that Alginor and Borregaard is a good
  match that can secure successful commercialisation of the technology and the
  future listing of the company on the Oslo Stock Exchange, says Heidi Kakko,
  member of the Investment Committee of the EIC Fund.

• We have been following Alginor as an early investor for more than three years.
  The company has already shown an impressive traction, and we are pleased to
  continue our investments and to support the development and growth of Alginor,
  says Jakob Hatteland.

The above-mentioned transactions are conditioned upon final approval by
Alginor’s general assembly.

improved, whereas BioMaterials had a result in line with last year. The net
currency impact on EBITDA was slightly positive compared with the 3(rd) quarter
of 2020.

The continued impact from increased sales prices and a favourable product mix
were the main reasons for the EBITDA improvement in BioSolutions. For
BioMaterials, high deliveries and reduced wood costs compensated for reduced
sales prices and increased energy costs. High sales volume and increased sales
price for bioethanol contributed to the improvement in Fine Chemicals. High spot
prices for liquefied natural gas and electricity led to increased energy costs
in all business areas.

Profit before tax was NOK 269 million (NOK 133 million). Earnings per share was
NOK 2.12 (NOK 1.12).

Borregaard ASA: Borregaard scores high on leadership within climate, forest and water

Borregaard has been recognised for its sustainability leadership in climate
change, forests and water security by global environmental non-profit
organisation, CDP, securing a place on its prestigious ‘A’ lists for climate
…

Vis børsmeldingen

change and forest. Borregaard also received an A- score for water security.

Borregaard is one of a small number of companies that achieved an ‘A’ in two or
more categories, out of over 13,000 companies that were scored based on data
submitted through CDP’s questionnaires in 2021. Through significant demonstrable
action on climate, forest and water risks Borregaard is leading on corporate
environmental ambition, action and transparency worldwide.

Sustainability is a key component of Borregaard’s business model and one of its
three core values. The company offers sustainable products with good climate and
environmental properties that replace oil-based products. This is Borregaard’s
fourth year on CDP’s Climate ‘A List’.
"Sustainability is a top priority throughout Borregaard’s value chain, and
significant sums are invested in this area. Both the way we run our company and
the products we are producing are sustainable and meet global needs,» says
President and CEO Per A. Sørlie.

Two A’s and an A-
Borregaard received an A for tackling climate change. 13,126 companies reported
on climate change in 2021, of which 200 companies (1.5%) made this year’s
climate change A List. The company also received an A for deforestation
(timber). In addition, Borregaard scored an A- for water security. With these
scores Borregaard is among the highest scored companies on CDP’s list.

“Many congratulations to all the companies on this year’s A List. Taking the
lead on environmental transparency and action is one of the most important steps
businesses can make, even more so in the year of COP26 and the IPCC’s Sixth
Assessment Report. Leadership from the private sector is essential for securing
global ambitions for a net-zero, nature positive and equitable world. Our A List
celebrates those companies who are preparing themselves to excel in the economy
of the future by taking action today,” says CEO of CDP Paul Simpson.

Gold standard
CDP’s annual environmental disclosure and scoring process is widely recognised
as the gold standard of corporate environmental transparency. A detailed and
independent methodology is used by CDP to assess these companies, allocating a
score of A to D- based on the comprehensiveness of disclosure, awareness and
management of environmental risks and demonstration of best practices associated
with environmental leadership, such as setting ambitious and meaningful targets.
Those that don’t disclose or provide insufficient information are marked with an
F.

along with other publicly available company scores:
