Company Guidance -

Q2 2025

In the first quarter of 2025, Stora Enso reported a 9% increase in sales, reaching €2.4 billion, with an adjusted EBIT of €175 million, marking an 18% year-over-year increase and an EBIT margin of 7.4%. This performance was bolstered by higher prices, increased volumes, and favorable foreign exchange rates. Operating working capital decreased by 3 percentage points to 7%, marking the fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year improvement. The successful production start of the new consumer board line at the Oulu mill and regulatory approval for the acquisition of Finnish sawmills, Junnikkala, were significant milestones. However, the ramp-up of the new packaging board line is expected to impact the full-year adjusted EBIT by €100 million, primarily in Q2. Stora Enso's reorganization, effective July 1, aims for a leaner structure with seven P&L responsible business areas to enhance efficiency and focus on the renewable packaging business, which represents over 60% of sales.
