Last year Rockwool earned a remarkable amount of money. The result before taxes landed above analyst expectations with EUR 225 million before taxes and EUR 166 million after taxes.

The rock wool producer sold products for a total EUR 2,202 million last year, in line with the sales from the past three years which have only fluctuated marginally between EUR 2,180 million and EUR 2,208 million. As such, sales were as they had been expected to be.
