·      Record total global sales volumes of 77,237m3 demonstrate continued strong demand for Accoya amidst challenging macroeconomic conditions:

Group sales volumes up 13% on a like-for-like basis with robust growth in all markets: 60% North America, 12% UK&I, 23% Rest of Europe and 9% Rest of World

9% growth in Accoya for Tricoya

 

·      Group revenues increased by 20% on a like-for-like basis driven by solid trading performance across all regions, continued pricing discipline and favourable sales mix reflecting robust demand for Accoya Color, supported by the H1 production capacity increase at Barry, UK

 

·      The Company expects FY26 adjusted EBITDA to be in line with market consensus

 

·      Excellent performance in North America:

Significant sales volume growth of 60% in North America following the first full financial year of trading for Accoya USA, demonstrating the sizeable market opportunity. This growth captures the brand strength, pricing power and innovative technology of our products and effective commercial and operational execution

Management has successfully mitigated the impact of tariffs on imported lumber into the USA, introduced in October 2025, and is continuing to monitor the situation

 

·      Continued focus on capital allocation towards deleveraging with reduction in leverage ratio and net debt to €41.4m at 31 March 2026 (€42.6m, 31 March 2025)

Dr Jelena Arsic van Os commented:

"I am proud of Accsys' impressive performance in FY26, reflecting disciplined execution of our FOCUS strategy, with record Accoya volumes driving strong revenue growth, continued market share gains and significantly improved profitability. Our differentiated offering is resonating with customers, and the progress of our Accoya USA joint venture reinforces the strength of our strategic positioning in North America.

While remaining mindful of current geopolitical events, we are delivering against our priorities, strengthening the business, enhancing resilience, and building a scalable platform for sustainable long-term growth."

The Group's financial results for the year ended 31 March 2026 will be announced on the 16 June 2026.

Notes:

1) Accsys considers market consensus FY26 Adjusted EBITDA to be €21.0 million as at 31 March 2026.

2) The comparative period, FY25, included 3,802m³ of Group sales to North America. Since the start-up of Accoya USA in September 2024 all North American sales are served by the JV. The like-for-like change in sales volumes and revenues excludes the effect of these sales from the FY25 Group comparators whilst including them within the FY25 JV sales volumes comparator.

3) Accsys has a 60% shareholding in Accoya USA, a joint venture (JV) with Eastman Chemical Company which commenced operations during H1 FY25. Whilst the JV is equity accounted for financial reporting purposes, the aggregated revenue figure includes 60% of the JV revenue.

4) At constant exchange rates, aggregated revenue growth would be +25%

5)Total Sales Volumes include all Group sales and 100% of sales from the JV

6) Adjusted EBITDA being earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and exceptional items of Accsys plus 60% of the JV's EBITDA.
