RECORD OPERATING INCO M E

EXPECTED IN FIRST-HALF 2022

Trends since the start of 2022 confirm the good momentum of the Group's markets, especially renovation in Europe and construction in the Americas and in Asia (excluding China), driven by prices thanks to the added value brought by its solutions in the context of a high volume comparison basis last year.

This performance reflects the Group's strategic positioning as the worldwide leader in light and sustainable construction, deploying country-by-country its unique range of innovative solutions offering sustainability and performance to maximize the positive impact for its customers, as part of its "Grow & Impact" plan.

In first-half 2022, the Group expects the operating income to exceed the record level of first-half 2021 and to achieve a double-digit operating margin.

First-half 2022 results will be published on Wednesday July 27, 2022.
