Disappointing year following strong 2016

Delays to expected projects

Build up of stock and higher input costs

Lower margin on traditionally higher margin specification sales

Softer end market and increase in low cost competition

Poor demand forecasting

Operational execution

Review of options to restore profitabilityundertaken

Tunnelling Construction21

Conclusions of the first stage review:

Close the loss-making weaving plant in Slovakia (Ivanka site): announced 31 Jan 18

Combine the profitable Enkamat business with our B&I business: transitioning in Feb 18

For two business components we have concluded we need to focus on fixing first:

In NPNW this is about fixing costs and sales execution

In Construction fibres, this is about fixing technology issues and thereby cost

The second phase of the review will deal on whether to keep or sell these business longer term

The outcome will depend on what improvement self help can bring

We aim to announce our conclusions by July

What we do

We take polymers and convert them into yarns, fibres and coated fabrics

From these we produce a mixture of woven, non-woven and composite materials that we sell into many different end markets and applications that affect everyday life

We use our process technology and know-how to produce performance materials that provide our customers with enhanced functional value

Business model based on strong market research, customer intimacy and alignment with global mega trends – Energy Efficiency, Health and Safety, Environment - Clean Air & Water, Sustainability.

Colback & Enkamat deliver high value-add composite solutions for several applications such as green roofs, filtration and acoustics for the building industry. Colback in particular offers superior strength, pleatability, air flow and pressure drop performance, branded colours and seamless materials.

Partnership with leading OEM and Branded Manufacturers to help them deliver more technically advanced and lower cost components and solutions to their markets.

The acquisition of Walflor established a west coast manufacturing and distribution base to allow for more effective and efficient access to the growing western USA and Canadian markets, particularly in acoustics, drainage, and green roofing. It also strengthened the business unit’s competitive position in this region by providing improved service to major acoustics customers.

Looking ahead:

We benefit from diversity of markets and applications

High quality differentiated products sold by focused teams

Success with core customers and in core markets enabling business to reinvest to expand in new markets and geographies, where there is significant potential for growth (organic and inorganic).

Global success story: Building & Industrial Significant competitive advantage

Market backdrop

Energy consumption and sustainability, urbanisation & health awareness are global trends. Morestringent regulations driving highest quality standards and higher specifications.

Our customers’ customers are demanding higher end products. Benefits from global expansion into new markets such as Korea and China and, new applications

such as wall cladding.

Superior in-house

technology

Colback provides superior qualities such as high tensile strength, thermal stability(less shrinkage on roof and scrim glass reinforcement), open structure (enablinghigh, quickly modified bitumen saturation & adhesion) thermal binding (no chemicalfumes) and high tear and nail holding strength.

Benefits

Colback has proven its value by enabling penetration of coatedmembrane markets where Colback is used as a value addedreinforcement material.

It is preferred by producers because its easy processability results inhigher efficiency; less down-time; better end products and productioncost savings. For contractors it’s easier to use with faster installation,better roofing work and fewer claims.

32

Case study Industrial: Filter Media, China Significant competitive advantage

Market backdrop

China very fast growing market for air and liquid filter media driven by global trends such as mobility,urbanization & health awareness. More stringent standards drive need for high quality filters and highefficiency media.

Filtration market in China is foreseen to grow at 7% CAGR in the coming years; L&B has about 2% and20% market share in support layers for cabin air and room air purifier filters in China and EU respectively.

Many EU and US filter manufacturers have operations in China, want to source filter media locally.

Superior in-house

technology

Colback technology has proven its value as support layer for interior filters in automotiveand clean air systems in residential and commercial buildings.

Moving to manufacturing of filter media will create a unique and superior portfolio ofproducts serving the key segments in air and liquid filtration with design flexibility forfuture demands.

Strategic approach

Benefits Colback-based filter media’s reduced pressure drop and

increased dirt holding capacity addresses need for lowerenergy consumption and longer filter life.

Local for Local: Short lead times, better serving our customers. Cost efficiency through the value chain.

£0.5m investment in filtration lab and testing capabilities in April 2017to support development of special filtration media.

£5m investment for high efficiency filter media in China plant. Targetlaunch Q2 2019.

This capability could enable market share growth in China to 10% in 5years.
