Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Q3 2026 earnings summary23 Oct, 2026
Executive summary
Q3 EBITDA was SEK 1,631m, down 1% YoY and up from SEK 1,303m QoQ; Containerboard and Renewable Energy strengthened while Pulp and Wood remained weak.
Jan-Sep earnings weakened as lower selling prices, adverse FX and higher raw-material costs outweighed higher delivery volumes.
Financial highlights
Q3 net sales were SEK 5,248m, up 5% YoY; volume rose 9%, while price/mix fell 3% and currency had a negative 1% impact.
Q3 EBITDA was SEK 1,631m vs. SEK 1,644m; margin was 31.1% vs. 32.9%. Price/mix reduced EBITDA by SEK 144m, while volume added SEK 53m.
Q3 EBIT was SEK 1,047m, down 6%; net profit was SEK 772m, down 7%, and EPS was SEK 1.10 vs. SEK 1.19.
Jan-Sep net sales fell 3% to SEK 15,141m; EBITDA declined 24% to SEK 4,041m, and operating profit fell 38% to SEK 2,314m.
Jan-Sep net profit was SEK 1,675m vs. SEK 2,720m; EPS was SEK 2.38 vs. SEK 3.87.
Outlook and guidance
Sawlog and pulpwood costs fell ~5% QoQ in Q3; a further 4%-5% decline is expected in Q4, with costs expected to be broadly flat in Q1 2027.
Containerboard demand is forecast to improve; kraftliner price increases are expected to flow into Q4 results as implementation continues.
The Östrand NBSK maintenance stop began late in Q3, with most of the stop in Q4 and lower Q4 volumes expected; Obbola needs another year to reach 700,000 tonnes and above.
Q4 planned maintenance-stop costs are forecast at SEK 235m; full-year 2026 planned maintenance-stop costs are forecast at SEK 505m.
Solid wood demand is expected to remain stable but seasonally weaker; near-term market prices are expected unchanged, with storm-log quality posing limited downside risk.
