Statement re 2022 Full Year Results Revised Date

ESSENTRA PLC

2022 FULL YEAR RESULTS REVISED DATE

EXPECTED RESULTS AND GUIDANCE UNCHANGED

Essentra plc ("Essentra" or the "Company"), today announces a revised date for the publication of its preliminary financial results for the year ended 31 December 2022. The Company will now announce its results on 29 March 2023 and not on 22 March 2023 as previously stated.

The Company confirms that the 2022 outturn remains in line with Board expectations.

As a result of the disposals of the Filters and Packaging businesses in 2022, the Company's auditor, PwC, has requested additional time to complete its standard procedures. Whilst the audit is not yet complete, no substantive issues have been brought to the Board's attention.

The Board remains confident, based on current order trends, of meeting 2023 market expectations.

In keeping with the Share Buyback Programme announcement on 2 February 2023, the Board re-confirms its intention to announce the launch of the Share Buyback Programme immediately after it announces the preliminary results for the year ended 2022.
