Essity had a solid start to the year with strong cash flow, strategic buybacks, and product innovations. However, challenges such as higher COGS, volume declines in certain segments, and increased SG&A expenses posed pressures on margins.

Company Guidance

During Essity's Q1 2025 earnings call, the company reported a solid start to the year with higher sales and strong cash flow across all business areas. Notably, Health & Medical and Professional Hygiene experienced robust growth in sales volume, mix, and pricing, despite some lower volumes in Professional Hygiene. The company faced increased cost of goods sold (COGS) due to higher raw material and distribution costs, as well as elevated SG&A expenses attributed to inflation and business expansion efforts. Essity announced a SEK3 billion share buyback program, leveraging its strong cash flow, and emphasized its commitment to organic growth, stable dividends, and deleveraging its solid balance sheet. The company launched new products, such as the Tena ProSkin slip, and reported that 71% of its branded sales are perceived as superior by customers, indicating a strong preference for Essity's offerings. Despite macroeconomic uncertainties and a limited impact from tariffs, Essity remains focused on accelerating profitable growth with an emphasis on volume, supported by its efficient supply chain and global market presence.
