Q2 2025 earnings summary13 Aug, 2025

Executive summary

  • Q2 and H1 2025 were marked by weak demand, lower sales prices, high raw material costs, and currency volatility, resulting in sharply lower sales, EBITDA, and a net loss.

  • Both pulp and paper segments faced price pressure, unfavorable currency rates, and increased competition, especially from Asian exports.

  • Net results were significantly impacted by a PLN 53 million asset write-off in the Rotterdam/Rottneros Group.

  • Management is implementing cost reduction and efficiency programs, targeting annual savings of PLN 45–50 million from 2026 and focusing on niche, high-margin products.

  • A successful rights issue at Rottneros increased the Group's stake to 55.02%.

Financial highlights

  • H1 2025 net sales were PLN 1,656 million, down 8.2% year-over-year; Q2 2025 sales were PLN 833.5 million, nearly flat year-over-year.

  • H1 2025 EBITDA was PLN 22.9 million, sharply down from PLN 182.4 million in H1 2024; Q2 2025 EBITDA was PLN 0.01 million.

  • H1 2025 net loss was PLN 98.8 million versus a profit of PLN 105.7 million in H1 2024.

  • Net debt to EBITDA rose to 1.18x at end of H1 2025, up from 0.3x a year earlier.

  • Equity as of 30 June 2025 was PLN 1,696 million, down from PLN 1,769 million at year-end 2024.

Outlook and guidance

  • No rapid recovery is expected in Europe in the next quarter; management expects some demand recovery in late Q3 and early Q4 2025.

  • Cost reduction and efficiency programs aim for annual savings of PLN 45–50 million from 2026, with working capital optimization to improve cash flow by PLN 35 million.

  • Revenues from new business areas (packaging, pellets) are expected to increase EBITDA by PLN 20 million in 2026.

  • CapEx will be reduced after 2025, focusing on necessary investments to maintain cash flow and dividend capability.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
