Boliden's Q1 2025 results show robust operational performance and successful strategic moves, such as the acquisition of Somincor and Zinkgruvan. However, the company faces challenges with negative free cash flow, operational issues at Aitik, and increased costs. While market conditions were favorable during the quarter, there are concerns about weakening conditions post-quarter.
Company Guidance
In the call, Boliden provided guidance on several key financial metrics for Q1 2025. The company reported an operating profit of SEK2.6 billion, slightly impacted by Finnish strikes, which cost approximately SEK100 million. Free cash flow was negative, ranging between SEK1.8 billion and SEK1.9 billion, while capital expenditures totaled SEK2.9 billion. Boliden's financial performance included an EBIT of SEK2.6 billion, with operating profits, including process inventories, reaching SEK3.1 billion. Earnings per share were just under SEK8. The company also discussed its key projects, including the Odda expansion and Tara ramp-up, which are progressing according to plan. On the ESG front, greenhouse gas emissions are slightly up year-on-year but remain on track. In terms of market conditions, the quarter saw favorable base metal price developments, though a slight downturn in the dollar negatively affected results. Going forward, Boliden anticipates a one-off impact due to advisory fees related to the Lundin deal and expects a heavy maintenance quarter in Q2 for its smelters.
