Ireland: Kingspan's consolidated sales rose by 28% year-on-year to Euro8.3bn in 2022 from Euro6.5bn in 2021. The group's profit after tax also rose, by 8% to Euro616m from Euro571m. Its turnover from insulation sales rose by 40% to Euro1.66bn, while its turnover from insulated panels sales rose by 23% to Euro5.18bn. Panel volumes were reportedly 'more challenged' during the second half of the year.
CEO Gene Murtagh said “The 2022 outturn was very satisfactory in the context of accumulating uncertainty over the course of a bumpy year, which saw a strong first half performance giving way to a more subdued environment in the second half." He added "Given the powerful combination of our global scale, the diversity of our end markets, our ability to grow organically and through acquisition, alongside our strong innovation pipeline and an ongoing societal drive for energy efficiency, we believe Kingspan is very well placed for continuing progress for the benefit of all stakeholders."
