Q3 2025 earnings summary23 Oct, 2025

Executive summary

  • Operating result for Q1–Q3 2025 was negative at EUR -27 million, down from EUR 170 million year-over-year, mainly due to low demand, weak pulp prices, and US tariffs, despite sales rising to EUR 4,508 million from EUR 4,273 million.

  • Positive cash flow from operations was achieved, with EUR 216 million for the period, reflecting successful working capital reduction.

  • A EUR 300 million annual cost savings and profit improvement programme was launched, with potential reduction of 800 jobs, mostly in Finland.

  • Significant one-off items included EUR 30 million insurance compensation and EUR 22 million impairment related to the Kemi bioproduct mill gas explosion.

  • Major investment projects and restructuring are ongoing, with a new President and CEO appointed in July 2025.

Financial highlights

  • Sales for January–September 2025 were EUR 4,508 million, nearly flat year-over-year.

  • Comparable operating result for 1–9/2025: EUR -27 million (vs. EUR 170 million in 2024); Q3: EUR -72 million (vs. EUR 113 million in 2024).

  • Result before taxes for 1–9/2025: EUR -108 million (vs. EUR 119 million in 2024).

  • EBITDA for 1–9/2025: EUR 314 million (vs. EUR 492 million in 2024).

  • Equity ratio at period end: 57.6%–60.6%; net interest-bearing liabilities: EUR 1,236–1,442 million.

Outlook and guidance

  • No separate result guidance provided due to market volatility and weak predictability, especially for paperboard and pulp markets.

  • Pulp market not expected to improve; excess board capacity in Europe and weak North American demand persist.

  • Cost savings programme to gradually impact results from 2026, with full effect in 2027.

  • Declining fibrewood prices expected to support profitability from early 2026.

  • Paperboard delivery volumes expected to decrease slightly in Q4; tissue paper demand stable; construction outlook in Europe remains muted.

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.
