Q2 2025 earnings summary12 Aug, 2025

Executive summary

  • EBITDA for Q2 2025 showed sequential improvement but remained negative at -15 MSEK, reflecting persistent cost pressures and challenging market conditions, with high production levels maintained.

  • Net turnover increased by 2% to 726 MSEK in Q2 2025, driven by higher sales volumes despite lower prices and high raw material costs.

  • Net income for Q2 2025 was -158 MSEK, impacted by a 140 MSEK asset impairment due to weak CTMP market.

  • Rights issue of approximately 300 MSEK was completed and oversubscribed in July, strengthening the balance sheet and reducing net debt.

  • Cost-saving program initiated, targeting annual savings of 35–40 MSEK, with full effect expected in autumn 2025.

Financial highlights

  • EBITDA improved sequentially from Q1 2025 but was down from Q2 2024 due to lower prices and high wood costs.

  • EBIT and net income for H1 2025 were significantly lower year-over-year, mainly due to price and currency effects and a 140 MSEK asset write-down.

  • High variable costs, especially wood, accounted for 76% of pulp production costs in H1 2025.

  • Positive operating cash flow in Q2 2025, mainly due to decreased working capital, but H1 2025 cash flow from operations was negative.

  • Net turnover for H1 2025 was 1,378 MSEK, down 1% year-over-year; sales volume decreased by 3%.

Outlook and guidance

  • Cost adjustments and efficiency improvements are expected to reduce the cost base by 35–40 MSEK annually, with full effect in autumn 2025.

  • Raw material costs, especially wood, have peaked and are showing early signs of decline, offering hope for margin recovery.

  • Equity/assets ratio after the rights issue is estimated at 64%, above the long-term target of 50%.

  • Market remains highly uncertain due to global trade issues, tariffs, overcapacity, and exchange rate volatility.

  • Maintenance shutdowns planned for Q3 at Rottneros Mill and Q4 at Vallvik Mill, with estimated income impacts of 10–20 MSEK and 70–80 MSEK, respectively.

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.
