UPM Interim Report Q1 2025: Good start to the year with actions to sharpen competitiveness
Massimo Reynaudo, President and CEO, comments on the results: “We had a good start to the year and improved performance compared to the previous quarter. Markets were gradually recovering in pulp and advanced materials, while our actions to sharpen competitiveness started to bear fruit in several businesses. We made progress towards our growth ambition with the acquisition of Metamark, and we completed our first share buy-back program by early April. In Q1, our sales were €2,646 million, broadly in line with the preceding quarter as well as with Q1 2024. Comparable EBIT was €287 million, down 14% from last year’s corresponding quarter. Operating cash flow was €289 million. Our financial position continues to be solid, with net debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.77 at the end of March.
Norske Skog: High energy prices necessitate temporary downtime at the Bruck paper mill
Due to unaffordability of operations in the current energy environment, temporary downtime has been initiated at the Bruck paper mill in Austria. The new boiler scheduled for start-up in April is expected to contribute to alleviate the situation by reducing the mill’s gas consumption and improve its energy supply. The boiler project and the packaging conversion project at the Bruck mill continue as planned. Bruck has delivered newsprint and LWC magazine paper to its customers despite a challenging energy market since the second half of 2021. Although we have secured parts of the mill’s energy supply in March, the energy prices we presently experience make operations at Bruck unsustainable, says Sven Ombudstvedt, President and CEO of Norske Skog. Norske Skog expects underlying EBITDA for the group in the first quarter of 2022 to be approximately in line with the fourth quarter of 2021.
