•    Despite unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic challenges, Core Materials continued high
     growth momentum of 2019. Double-digit sales growth and above-average increased
     profitability driven by strong Balsa demand from wind customers in all regions with the
     most pronounced growth in China. US marine market picking up since Q2/2020.

•    Overall strong performance in Display. Exceptionally high demand for clear sheet
     products as COVID-19 protective walls in Europe compensating for significant shortfall in
     ‘traditional’ display applications such as advertising, trade fairs and interior fittings.
     Flexible capacity adjustments and low raw material notations resulting in over
     proportional improvement in profitability.

•    Continued growth of US Architecture revenues and earnings following a strong prior year.
     European and Asian Architecture business below previous year with large country-
     specific differences due to different COVID-19 lockdown measures.

•    After the most successful year to date, Transport & Industry business recorded a double-
     digit sales decline linked to the collapse of the market for lightweight bus components
     since Q2/2020 as well as postponed orders in the Rail segment. Decent profitability due
     to timely adjustment of capacities and strict cost management.

•    Solid performance of Display business expected. Gradual revival of retail trade and
     thus increasing sales for advertising and shop design cushioning the normalization
     of demand for clear sheet products.

•    The integration of the foam board business acquired in H2/2020 will strengthen
     the US Display business and make a positive contribution to revenues and earnings.

•    Architecture business expected to benefit from catch-up on delayed projects as
     well as from projects already initiated in 2020. However, possible temporary
     stagnation in the US in H2 due to temporary reduction of new construction
     projects in 2020 having a time lag on the facade market.

•    Core Materials benefitting from continued high demand in the wind energy market
     segment and growth possibilities in non-wind areas. Reduced sales prices expected
     in China due to changes in market conditions and increasing competition.

•    Challenging year for Transport & Industry business expected with continued weak
     market for buses but more robust demand for rail vehicles.

•    The current outlook does not include the effects of a possible renewed significant
     tightening of lockdown measures in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic.
