Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Executive summary
Operating profit for Q3-25 reached SEK 1,166 million, showing improvement over previous quarters despite challenging market conditions, while Jan–Sep 2025 operating profit was SEK 2,531 million, down from SEK 3,005 million year-over-year due to maintenance shutdowns and low electricity prices in northern Sweden.
Return on capital employed was 15% for the first nine months, reflecting solid capital efficiency and above industry average.
Profit after tax for Jan–Sep was SEK 2,298 million, nearly flat year-over-year, supported by a SEK 395 million positive tax effect from a court ruling.
Weak demand in construction and cautious consumer behavior impacted capacity utilization, especially in Wood Products and Renewable Energy, while Board and Paper performed well.
Financial highlights
Net sales for Jan–Sep 2025 were SEK 16,873 million, compared to SEK 17,246 million year-over-year.
EBITDA for Jan–Sep was SEK 3,633 million, down from SEK 4,050 million year-over-year.
Over SEK 3.2 billion distributed via dividends and buybacks from January to September 2025; SEK 13 billion over five years.
Debt/equity ratio at 10% as of 30 September 2025, remaining low and stable over five years.
Cash flow from operating activities before working capital changes was SEK 2,585 million for Jan–Sep.
Outlook and guidance
Market conditions remain challenging, with continued price pressure and weak demand in construction and paper markets expected in Q4.
Pulpwood prices are declining, but cost benefits will reach the P&L with a six-month lag; sawlog prices remain high and stable.
Long-term, low electricity prices in northern Sweden are anticipated to attract new electricity-intensive industries.
No significant improvement in demand anticipated; overcapacity remains a challenge, especially in board.

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.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
