Notes to the Preliminary Results 
 
for the year ended 31 December 2016 
 
1    GENERAL INFORMATION 
 
The financial information presented in this report has been prepared using
accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union and as set out in the
Group's annual financial statements in respect of the year ended 31 December
2015 except as noted below. The financial information does not include all the
information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements. The
Annual Report will be distributed to shareholders and made available on the
Company's website www.kingspan.com in due course. It will also be filed with
the Company's annual return in the Companies Registration Office. The auditors
have reported on the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016
and their report was unqualified and did not contain any matters to which
attention was drawn by way of emphasis. The financial information for the year
ended 31 December 2015 represents an abbreviated version of the Group's
statutory financial statements on which an unqualified audit report was issued
and which have been filed with the Companies Registration Office. 
 
Basis of preparation and accounting policies 
 
The financial information contained in this Preliminary Statement has been
prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the last annual
financial statements. 
 
IFRS does not define certain Income Statement headings. For clarity, the
following are the definitions as applied by the Group: 
 
-    Trading profit refers to the operating profit generated by the businesses
before intangible asset amortisation. 
 
-    Trading margin refers to the trading profit, as calculated above, as a
percentage of revenue. 
 
-    Operating profit is profit before income taxes and net finance costs. 
 
The Group adopted Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012 to 2014 Cycle for the
first time in the current financial year with no significant impact on the
Group's result for the year or financial position. 
 
There are a number of new standards, amendments to standards and
interpretations that are not yet effective and have not been applied in
preparing these consolidated financial statements. These new standards,
amendments to standards and interpretations are either not expected to have a
material impact on the Group's financial statements or are still under
assessment by the Group. 
 
The new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are as
follows: 
 
                                                                                           Effective Date - periods beginning on or after

2    SEGMENT REPORTING 
 
In identifying the Group's operating segments, management based its decision
on the product supplied by each segment and the fact that each segment is
managed and reported separately to the Chief Operating Decision Maker. These
operating segments are monitored and strategic decisions are made on the basis
of segment operating results. 
 
The Group is establishing a new division, Kingspan Light & Air, encompassing
the Group's daylighting and natural ventilation activities effective from
January 2017. The extent of these activities increased significantly in the
second half of the current year. This activity is reported within the
Insulated Panels division with a plan in place to facilitate full systematic
and operational separation effective from 1 January 2017 and therefore Light &
Air will be disclosed as a new operating segment from that point onwards. 
 
Operating segments 
 
The Group has the following four operating segments: 
 
 Insulated Panels   Manufacture of insulated panels, structural framing and metal facades.                                    
 Insulation Boards  Manufacture of rigid insulation boards, building services insulation and engineered timber systems.       
 Environmental      Manufacture of energy storage solutions, water and microwind systems and all related service activities.  
 Access Floors      Manufacture of raised access floors and datacentre storage solutions.

Inter-segment transfers are carried out at arm's length prices and using an
appropriate transfer pricing methodology. As inter-segment revenue is not
material, it is not subject to separate disclosure in the above analysis. For
the purposes of the segmental analysis, corporate overheads have been
allocated to each division based on their respective revenue for the year.

9    BUSINESS COMBINATIONS 
 
In August 2016, the Group acquired 100% of the share capital of Essmann
Gebaudetechnik GmbH, the holding company of the Essmann Group ("Essmann").
Essmann is a European provider of light, air and safety solutions for flat
roofs and façades on non-residential buildings. The total consideration
including debt and related costs amounts to E79.6m. 
 
In April 2016 and August 2016, the Group acquired 100% of the share capital of
Euro Clad (Holdings) Limited ("Euro Clad") and of Eurobond Laminates Limited
("Eurobond") respectively. The two companies are referred to as the 'Euro
Group' as they previously had common ownership and were acquired together,
with the Eurobond acquisition delayed due to UK competition clearance. Euro

The acquired goodwill is attributable principally to the profit generating
potential of the businesses, together with cross-selling opportunities and
other synergies expected to be achieved from integrating the acquired
businesses into the Group's existing business. 
 
In the post-acquisition period to 31 December 2016, the businesses acquired
during the current year contributed revenue of E144.5m and a trading profit of
E10.9m to the Group's results.
