Earnings Call Summary

|% Change Since: 1.55%
|Next Earnings Date:Jul 23, 2025
Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
Stora Enso reported solid financial performance with growth in sales and EBIT, alongside strategic expansions and organizational restructuring. However, challenges remain with high fiber costs, ramp-up expenses at the Oulu mill, and cash flow deficits. While the company is making progress on operational efficiencies and strategic growth, certain financial pressures persist.Company Guidance
During Stora Enso's First Quarter 2025 Results Presentation, CEO Hans Sohlström and CFO Niclas Rosenlew provided comprehensive guidance on the company's performance and strategic initiatives. The company reported a 9% increase in sales, reaching €2.4 billion, and an 18% rise in adjusted EBIT to €175 million, with an EBIT margin of 7.4%. Operating working capital decreased by 3 percentage points to 7%, marking the fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year financial improvements. The successful start-up of a new consumer board line at the Oulu mill was highlighted, alongside the regulatory approval for acquiring Finnish sawmills, Junnikkala, which is expected to enhance operational synergies. A new organizational structure, effective July 1, will focus on renewable packaging, with 7 P&L responsible business areas replacing the previous structure. This reorganization aims to decentralize P&L responsibility, improve efficiency, and strengthen the performance culture. Despite concerns about U.S. tariffs, sales to the U.S. constitute less than 3% of total sales, minimizing the impact. The company remains optimistic about redirecting U.S.-bound sales to other markets if necessary. Stora Enso expects a €100 million negative EBIT impact in 2025 due to the Oulu mill ramp-up, primarily affecting Q2, but anticipates reaching EBITDA breakeven by year-end.Sales and EBIT Growth
