Financial performance

In a complex macro-economic environment, ROCKWOOL continued its strong performance with a revenue increase of six percent in local currencies in 2024. Stable sales prices combined with productivity improvements and reduced energy costs resulted in solid Group profitability, with an EBIT margin at 17.5 percent. The good performance reflects the Group’s resilience and ability to adapt to the market conditions at hand.

Decarbonisation progress

With our 2024 performance, we are ca. halfway to achieving our SBTi-verified 2034 Scope 1 and 2 absolute emission reduction target.

In 2024, emission reductions were driven by the conversion to electricity in Switzerland, leading to a 75 percent CO2 emission reduction at that factory and by acquiring Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) for multiple factories in Europe and for one in China. 

Since 2020, our reductions have been driven by electrification primarily in Norway and China​ and by conversions from coal to electricity or bio/natural gas in multiple countries.

Outlook 2025

Despite political, market and economic uncertainties the outlook for 2025 revenue is for low single-digit percent growth (in local currencies) with an EBIT margin around 16 percent. As we continue to invest in building new capacity and improving existing technologies as well as in decarbonising our operations, we expect investments of around 450 MEUR for 2025, excluding acquisitions.
