CEO COMMENTS

Troax continued the positive trend from 2014 during first quarter, with
increased order levels and results. The organic growth increased during the
first quarter by 13 percent, for comparable units in the same period last year.
The development has been especially positive in the UK and the Nordic countries.
Our development in the New markets has improved during the period, albeit from a
low level. The total order levels increased by 18 percent, including the
acquired company Satech compared on a pro forma basis, with the corresponding
quarter last year.

Excluding acquisition, sales increased with 15 percent, compared with same
period last year. We estimate, the general market has continued to grow during
this quarter, and we also believe we have continued to take market shares,
especially from smaller players in the local markets.

The positive result development has continued during the first quarter. This is
mainly explained by the positive volume development and continued good capacity
utilization in our manufacturing units. The adjusted operating profit amounted
to 5,0 MEUR for the period, which is approximately double the level of Q1 2014.
Satech accounts for approximately 1,0 MEUR of the result for the quarter. The
integration of Satech is developing according to plan and the company has
delivered a significantly higher result than last year.

There is no significant currency impact in the result for the period. The Troax
Group continues to hedge a main part of the net currency flow, mainly Euro vs.
SEK, for up to 18 months. The Group converted the currency used for accounting
to Euro as per 1st of January 2015.

The Working capital has been stable during the quarter, with a certain increase
of receivables due to the relative high invoicing level. We have continued our
good cash flow generation, even if we, during this first quarter, started to pay
some parts of the main investment in the new paint line that will be finished
during Q1 2016. In accordance with the agreement that was made in connection
with the stock exchange listing, we intend to make a one off amortization of
10M€ of our bond loan during this year.

Troax Group was listed on the NASDAQ Stockholm on the 27th March and therefore
has a high number of new shareholders. The offer was oversubscribed several
times, which of course is positive and indicates a good confidence from the
market. We are quite aware of the new requirements and expectations the
shareholders and other parties are demanding on us and will try to live up to
these expectations in a positive way.

We do not make any forecast for the whole year. In judging the market growth for
the remainder of the year, you should note the Group ended 2014 in a good way.
