We care for a better tomorrow – Wienerberger’s 2022 Annual and
Sustainability Report published online

Vienna, March 27, 2023 – The Wienerberger Group looks back on 2022 as the
most successful business year in the company’s history. Once again, the
Group succeeded in generating strong organic growth in a difficult and
unstable economic and political environment and increased its revenues by
25% over the previous year to almost €5 billion. This impressive
performance is based on the successful transformation of the company into
a provider of innovative and sustainable system solutions in the fields of
ecological new build and renovation as well as water management.

Even in the challenging 2022 business year, the company adhered to its
value-creating growth strategy and remained focused on organic growth
through innovation and an increasing share of system solutions in its
portfolio, as well as growth through selected value-accretive corporate
acquisitions. The latter broadened the company’s system solutions
competence through the addition of prefabricated wall elements in Austria,
increased the exposure to the renovation segment in the field of roofing
accessories in Germany, expanded the in-house pipe business in the growth
region of South-Eastern Europe, and enlarged the product portfolio by
smart system solutions for water management in Norway. In December 2022,
by disclosing its intention to take over significant parts of the Terreal
Group, Wienerberger announced the biggest step ever in the company’s
history within the framework of its value-accretive growth strategy. By
acquiring the successful European provider of innovative roof and solar
solutions, the company will significantly expand its footprint in
renovation and repair and evolve into the European pitched-roof expert.

Additionally, the company implemented a broad variety of proactive
measures – including adjustments to its cost structure and a long-term
orientation of its raw material and energy procurement policy – that
enabled it to outperform its end markets.

Irrespective of market conditions, Wienerberger has always remained
strictly focused on sustainability. In view of climate change and the
shortage of skilled labor, smart solutions for resource-saving and
energy-efficient building construction and renovation as well as effective
water management are continuously gaining in importance. The company is
addressing these megatrends by providing solutions that are fit for the
future, climate-neutral, and fast and easy to apply, which in turn
generates added benefit for its customers.

In the interest of sustainability, the Annual and Sustainability Report is
available exclusively as an online document to be viewed via a special
interactive micro-site. It provides information on current projects and
developments from the World of Wienerberger in the fields of ESG,
innovation, digitalization, strategy, and production, alongside
presentations of employees from many different fields of business and
countries.
