Looking Ahead
2022 was a bumpy year with the strong performance in the first half giving way to a more subdued environment in the second half of the year.
It is difficult to look too far ahead in this environment. We anticipate delivering a broadly similar trading profit in the first quarter of 2023 to that of 2022, aided in part by the contribution from acquisitions. We are mindful of a more demanding comparative to come in the second quarter. Longer term, Kingspan is very well placed given the powerful combination of our global scale, diversity of our end markets, strong innovation agenda and an ongoing societal drive for energy efficiency.
