Sappi Limited is a global leader in producing woodfibre-based products, focusing on sustainable packaging, graphic papers, pulp, and biomaterials. The company operates in North America, Europe, and South Africa, utilizing renewable resources and bio-energy for production.
In its latest earnings report for the second quarter of 2025, Sappi Limited faced challenging market conditions, resulting in a loss of $20 million compared to a profit of $29 million in the same quarter last year. The company reported a decrease in adjusted EBITDA to $107 million from $180 million in the previous year, with revenues remaining relatively stable at $1,347 million.
Key financial metrics highlighted the impact of global trade tensions and economic slowdown, with operating profit excluding special items dropping significantly. Despite these challenges, Sappi saw stable sales volumes year-on-year, particularly in packaging and specialty papers, which showed modest recovery. However, increased costs and lower selling prices affected profitability across segments.
Looking ahead, Sappi’s management remains focused on optimizing asset utilization and advancing cost-saving initiatives to support future performance. The company is cautious about the ongoing global trade tensions and their potential impact on demand and pricing but remains committed to capturing long-term growth opportunities in its packaging and specialty papers segments.
