Sappi Q4 2025 earnings summary
Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Executive summary
The year was marked by global economic weakness, trade tensions, and excess supply, leading to sharp declines in market conditions and downward pressure on selling prices, especially in dissolving pulp and paper segments.
Despite challenges, year-on-year growth was achieved in dissolving pulp (DWP) and packaging volumes, with market share gains in graphic papers.
Strategic rationalisation in Europe and the successful completion of the Somerset PM2 conversion and expansion were key operational highlights.
Cost rationalization and productivity improvements were implemented across all regions.
Financial highlights
Lower selling prices across all segments were the main driver of reduced profitability year-over-year, with adjusted EBITDA for FY25 at $501 million, down from $684 million in FY24.
Variable costs declined sequentially, with energy and pulp prices easing and 3-6% reductions across regions.
CapEx was higher in the year (EUR 360 million), mainly due to Somerset investment, but is expected to decrease to EUR 290 million in 2026 and remain below EUR 300 million in 2027.
Net debt began to decline, with Q4 FY25 net debt at $1,920 million and expectations for continued reduction.
Outlook and guidance
Market conditions remain challenging but are expected to improve gradually through 2026, with DWP prices stabilizing and a slight uptick anticipated.
Adjusted EBITDA for Q1 2026 is projected to be below the reported quarter due to an 18-day maintenance shut at Somerset, impacting results by about $20 million.
No new major projects or expansionary capex planned; focus remains on ramping up existing investments and reducing debt below $1 billion over the medium term.

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.
