Key Points

Positve
  • The food and premium packaging division showed strong performance with an operating margin above 11%, supported by productivity increases, cost reductions, and product innovation.
  • Volumes in the board and paper division were significantly ahead of last year, despite the low overall price level.
  • A comprehensive profit and cash protection program has been launched, focusing on cost reduction measures, particularly in energy savings, procurement, personnel, and operating expenses.
  • Targeted price increases are being implemented, with major impacts anticipated in the next year.
  • The company is focusing on higher value-added products and positioning itself as a market leader in Europe and the US for GLP-1 analogs for weight reduction, which have excellent growth prospects.
Negative
  • Persistent weakness in consumer demand in Europe is affecting overall sales performance.
  • The board and paper division's results were negatively impacted by the costs of annual maintenance shutdowns, with an impact of roughly EUR25 million.
  • Costs for paper, recycling wood, and personnel remain elevated, necessitating higher pricing to reflect these increased costs.
  • The farm and healthcare packaging profits were held back by weak demand due to current stocking in the industry and extra costs from the startup of new machines.
  • CapEx for the year is expected to be substantially below previous guidance, indicating potential constraints on future growth investments.
