It is differentiating itself through a focused portfolio strategy that includes separating its Mining and Cement divisions and divesting non-core assets, such as the Air Pollution Control business, while pursuing a pure-play approach in its core areas.

FLSmidth has completed the sale of its former corporate headquarters at Vigerslev Allé 77 in Valby, Denmark, to Nrep and AG Gruppen. The transaction generated net cash proceeds of approximately DKK 730 million and an accounting gain of roughly DKK 690 million, both recognised in the first quarter of 2026. The sale involved all shares in FLSmidth's subsidiary, Matr. No. 2055 A/S, which owned the land and buildings. The financial results align with the company's previous announcement in Company Announcement No. 9-2025. FLSmidth is a technology and service supplier to the global mining industry, focused on improving performance whilst reducing environmental impact through its MissionZero sustainability initiative.
FLSmidth (FLS) has announced a joint venture with Texnopark, a local industrial company, to establish a service centre in Uzbekistan. The partnership marks a strategic push to accelerate growth in Central Asia's expanding mining sector. The service centre will be built in phases using a modular setup, allowing for expansion as more local mines become operational. It will provide on-site maintenance, technical support, spare parts management and digital solutions to customers in Uzbekistan and the wider Central Asian region. CEO Toni Laaksonen said the joint venture reflects FLS' commitment to customer proximity and supporting Uzbekistan's growing mining industry. The venture will leverage both companies' strengths to enhance local operational capabilities and accelerate service offerings. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Launch of the partnership between TEXNOPARK and FLSmidth Inc. (U.S.). 17.03.2026 A ceremony to ratify the shareholders' agreement was held at TEXNOPARK. The document was signed by TEXNOPARK CEO Sarvar Akhadov and Peter James Flanagan, Senior Vice President of FLSmidth Inc. The agreement reaffirms the commitment to establishing a joint venture aimed at a further, mutually beneficial partnership. As part of the deal, the new joint venture "FLS TEXNO" is also being launched. The company's primary focus is providing maintenance services for FLSmidth Inc.'s technological equipment for the mining industry operating in Uzbekistan. In the future, the production of components for this equipment at the "FLS TEXNO" facility is also planned. P.S. The general agreement between the partners was signed on September 22, 2025, during the working visit of Shavkat Mirziyoyev, President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, to the United States, as part of his participation in the 80th anniversary session of the UN General Assembly.

Attachments. COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT NO. 14-2026 FLSmidth & Co. A/S 23 February 2026 Copenhagen, Denmark FLSmidth & Co. A/S today announced proposed changes to the Board composition, including the Chairship, ahead of the Annual General Meeting on 24 March 2026. In recent years, FLSmidth has successfully undergone a comprehensive strategic transformation and operational restructuring. The company has divested its heritage Cement business and is now a pure-play supplier of technologies and services to the global mining industry with a simplified operating model, ensuring a clear accountability structure and operational efficiencies. This has resulted in a strategically focused and substantially more profitable company. FLSmidth is now entering its next strategic phase, building on a strengthened foundation to accelerate growth. FLSmidth recently announced the appointment of seasoned industry executive, Toni Laaksonen, as CEO with a clear mandate to accelerate this momentum and further develop its offerings to customers. Together with the Executive Leadership Team, the Board is well advanced in detailing the plans for the next strategic phase, which are expected to be revealed later this year at a Capital Markets Day. While the complexity of the recent years' strategic transformation required significant and specific resourcing within the Board, the Board's focus ahead is different. FLSmidth is now a smaller and more focused company, and this should also be reflected in the Board's composition and focus. The Board therefore proposes to reduce the number of shareholder-elected Board members, and as a result, Chair Mads Nipper, Vice Chair Christian Bruch and Board member Thrasyvoulos Moraitis have decided not to seek re-election at the Annual General Meeting on 24 March 2026. Consequently, Lene Skole is proposed as new member of the Board with the intention of appointing her as the new Chair. Lene is a seasoned Board professional bringing significant financial and strategic experience as well as long-standing affiliation with FLSmidth. Anne-Louise Eberhard, Anna Kristiina Hyvönen, Lars Engström and Rune Wichmann will all be seeking re-election with Rune Wichmann proposed to assume the role as Vice Chair. The employee-elected Board members, Saleh Kamal, Nour Amrani and Henrik Jørgensen, will continue to serve their current terms until 2029. Chair of the Board, Mads Nipper comments: "Following a successful transformation, FLSmidth is now a smaller and more focused company, and we have decided that the Board's composition and focus also should reflect this. After four years in the Chairship, during the transformation, I have decided that it is the right time for me to step down. I am proud of that the company has accomplished during my tenure. FLSmidth now stands on a strong financial and operational foundation, is well-positioned for the growth journey that lies ahead, and we have appointed a seasoned mining executive as the new CEO to lead this journey. I am confident that FLSmidth is in the right hands to continue building on its progress and delivering successful outcomes in the years ahead." The notice to convene the Annual General Meeting including further details on the Board candidates will be issued in due course.
