The earnings call highlighted strong financial returns in certain segments, such as wood and paper, and an increase in profits in the Forest division. However, these positive aspects were outweighed by challenges, including weak demand for wood products, loss-making in the renewable energy segment, and significant price pressures in key markets, leading to a predominantly negative sentiment.
Company Guidance
During the third quarter of 2025, Holmen Group reported a solid performance despite challenging market conditions. The company achieved a result of over SEK 700 million in its wood and paper sectors, contributing to a 15% return on capital employed for the first nine months of the year. Financially, the group distributed SEK 3 billion in dividends and buybacks and maintained a stable debt-to-equity ratio over a five-year period while distributing SEK 13 billion in total. The Forest division saw an improved result of SEK 538 million, an increase from previous quarters, with harvesting levels reaching 660,000 cubic meters. However, the Wood Products segment faced difficulties, reporting a loss of SEK 91 million due to a 5-10% decrease in selling prices and a SEK 30 million stock value adjustment. In renewable energy, low electricity prices in northern Sweden led to curtailments in wind power production, affecting profitability. Meanwhile, the Board and Paper division managed stable prices despite overcapacity challenges, with a notable SEK 150 million impact from maintenance shutdowns. Overall, the company is navigating through a complex market environment by optimizing its forest resources and adjusting to volatile energy markets.
