STORA ENSO OYJ FINANCIAL STATEMENTS RELEASE 4 February 2026 at 8:30 EET

HELSINKI, Feb. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ —

Q4/2025 (year-on-year)

• Sales decreased by 3% to EUR 2,254 (2,322) million, mainly due to lower board and pulp prices, partly offset by the impact from acquisition of Junnikkala and the consumer board line ramp-up at the Oulu site.
• Adjusted EBIT decreased by 17% to EUR 100 (121) million, driven by lower pulp prices and adverse currency effects, as well as the ramp-up of the new line in Oulu, which impacted the Q4 result negatively by EUR 31 million. The adjusted EBIT margin decreased to 4.5% (5.2%).
• Operating result (IFRS) was EUR 476 (-279) million, including items affecting comparability of EUR -90 (-768) million, and fair valuations and other non-operational items of EUR 466 (368) million mainly driven by an increase in the fair value of biological assets in Sweden and Finland.
• Earnings per share were EUR 0.46 (-0.43) and earnings per share excl. fair valuations (FV) were EUR -0.03 (-0.81).
• The fair value of the forest assets was EUR 8.5 (8.9) billion, equivalent to EUR 10.75 per share, reflecting the impact of the divestment of 12.4% of forest assets in Sweden.
• Cash flow from operations amounted to EUR 337 (325) million, positively impacted by improvement in working capital.
• The net debt to adjusted EBITDA (LTM) ratio improved to 2.8 (3.0).
• Adjusted ROCE excluding the Forest segment (LTM) was 2.7% (3.6%).

Year 2025 (year-on-year)

• Sales were EUR 9,326 (9,049) million.
• Adjusted EBIT was EUR 528 (598) million.
• Operating result (IFRS) was EUR 942 (93) million.
• Earnings per share (EPS) were EUR 0.88 (-0.17) and EPS excl. fair valuations (FV) was EUR 0.41 (-0.56).
• Cash flow from operations amounted to EUR 897 (1,187) million. Cash flow after investing activities was EUR 122 (74) million.

Proposed dividend

The Board of Directors will propose a dividend of EUR 0.25 (EUR 0.25) per share at the Annual General Meeting on 24 March 2026. The Board of Directors proposes that the dividend be paid in two instalments, during the second and fourth quarter of 2026.

Key highlights

• Stora Enso is preparing for the separation of its Swedish forest assets business into a new publicly listed company, expected to be completed during the first half of 2027.
• Stora Enso initiated a strategic review of its Central European sawmills and building solutions operations. Different scenarios will be assessed, including the possibility to divest the business, to strengthen Stora Enso’s strategic focus on renewable materials and packaging.
• The ramp-up of the consumer board line at the Oulu site in Finland continues, and the production volumes are gradually increasing. The line is expected to reach full capacity during 2027.
• Stora Enso has been recognised for its continued leadership in corporate transparency and climate action, earning a place on the 2025 CDP Climate Change `A List’.
• Stora Enso will change its financial targets and reporting structure starting from 2026, as presented in the Capital Markets Day in November.

Outlook Q1/2026

• Markets remain challenging, with low consumer confidence. Geopolitical volatility results in decreased predictability.
• Packaging and pulp market demand is expected to remain stable at low levels.
• The ramp-up of the new production line in Oulu continues. The EBIT headwind is expected to gradually decrease as we improve the technical performance of the production line. In Q1, we expect a negative impact of EUR 15-30 million on adjusted EBIT.
• The divestment of 175,000 hectares of forest assets in Sweden, completed in 2025, will result in a reduction of annual adjusted EBIT of approximately EUR 20 million, with an estimated quarterly effect of approximately EUR 5 million.
• In the first quarter there will be less planned maintenance activities compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. See the section Maintenance for more details.
• The operating income from emission rights in 2025 was about EUR 72 million, distributed evenly throughout the year. For 2026, the income from the sale of emission rights is projected to decrease to EUR 10-20 million. This decline results from changes in the EU ETS (Emissions Trading Scheme) rules: several sites will lose their free CO₂ allowance allocations from 2026 onward, as their emissions are now more than 95% biogenic, demonstrating the success of long-term emission-reduction initiatives.
• In the first quarter of 2026 we will introduce a revised reporting structure, as presented in the Capital Markets Day (CMD) in November 2025. The packaging business areas will be consolidated into Consumer Packaging and Integrated Packaging segments. In addition, we will report Biomaterials and Other.

Focus for 2026

• During 2026 we will execute on the new strategic priorities introduced at the CMD in November 2025:
• Lead in customer value creation through innovation, quality and sustainability
• Grow faster than market with superior customer offering, leading technology and operational efficiency
• Expand margin through business focus, a positive performance culture and systematic value creation
• Generate cash with high conversion ratio and disciplined capital allocation
• Furthermore, we will continue to prepare for the separation of the Swedish forest assets business into a new publicly listed company, expected to be completed during the first half of 2027.
• We will also continue with the strategic review of Central European sawmills and building solutions operations. Different scenarios will be assessed, including the possibility to divest the business, to strengthen Stora Enso’s strategic focus on renewable materials and packaging.
• Finally, we will continue with the ramp-up of the consumer board line at the Oulu site in Finland. The line is expected to reach full capacity during 2027.

Key figures

 

Stora Enso’s President and CEO Hans Sohlström comments on the results:
2025 was a pivotal year for Stora Enso, marked by decisive actions to sharpen our strategic focus and unlock long-term value for our stakeholders. In the fourth quarter, we reached a significant milestone by completing the strategic review of our Swedish forest assets.

We are separating our Swedish forest assets to unlock value creating two champions with distinctive business dynamics and return profiles: A globally leading renewable materials company with sharpened focus on packaging, and Europe’s largest listed pure-play forest company. 

Also, we initiated a strategic review of our Central European sawmills and building solutions operations to further sharpen our business focus reflecting our commitment to active portfolio management and ensuring that all our operations are aligned with our long-term value creation goals. 

During the quarter, we also hosted a successful Capital Markets Day (CMD), where we introduced new financial targets, strategic priorities, and a clear roadmap for the coming years. 

Our strategy positions us as a global leader in renewable materials, with an increasing focus on packaging. We are committed to cost efficiency, profitable growth, expanding margins through systematic profit improvement actions, and generating strong cash flow with disciplined capital allocation. 

We also introduced a new reporting structure where packaging business areas will be regrouped into Consumer Packaging and Integrated Packaging, alongside Biomaterials and Other. The new reporting segments will be applicable starting in the first quarter of 2026.

Despite a challenging macroeconomic and market environment, Stora Enso delivered resilient results. Group sales for the year were EUR 9.3 billion, with adjusted EBIT of EUR 528 million. Underlying performance improved across all business areas except Biomaterials, which was impacted by lower pulp prices. The ramp-up of the new line at Oulu had an adverse impact on the results. Our net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio improved to 2.8, reflecting the positive impact of the Swedish forest asset divestment of approximately 175,000 hectares of forest land in Sweden, at a value of EUR 900 million, and our ongoing focus on cash flow and cost competitiveness. 

Operationally, we progressed in ramping up the new consumer board line at Oulu, which is central to our strategic focus on renewable packaging. While the ramp-up weighed on profitability in the short term, we remain confident in the long-term value and industry-leading quality this investment will deliver. The acquisition of Junnikkala Oy further strengthened our wood supply chain and supports the competitiveness of our Oulu site.

Our ongoing cost and efficiency actions, combined with a leaner and more business-focused organisational structure with six P&L responsible business areas including the new business area Wood and Energy, and 23 P&L responsible business units, have positioned us well to navigate continued market volatility. 

For the second consecutive year, Stora Enso has been included on CDP’s Climate Change `A List’, highlighting our strong transparency and performance in climate action. This recognition affirms our dedication to sustainable growth through emission reduction, renewable material innovation, and advancing the circular bioeconomy.

Additionally, in partnership with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), we completed a pioneering project that offers the forest sector a science-based framework for achieving net-positive biodiversity impact. This collaboration helps forestry operations focus on the most effective actions to reduce species extinction risk while maintaining long-term economic value.

By the end of 2025, we cut Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 61% and Scope 3 emissions by 38% from 2019 levels, surpassing our 2030 target. Additionally, 94% of our products are technically recyclable, and we maintain 99% forest certification coverage. 

As we enter 2026, we expect market conditions to remain subdued and volatile, shaped by ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty. We will continue to execute our strategy and drive proactive, systematic, and determined work across the whole Group.

Our strategic priorities, as set forth in our CMD, are clear: We want to lead in customer value creation, grow our business, expand margins, and generate strong cash flow over the cycle. We will achieve this through our continued actions in sourcing, operational efficiency, commercial excellence, working capital, and fixed costs, while maintaining a disciplined approach to capital allocation.

Customer centricity is now at the forefront of our strategy, driving us to pursue innovation, quality, and sustainability across all aspects of our operations. By delivering superior customer offering and leveraging advanced technologies, we are dedicated to setting new industry standards for excellence. 

The demerger and listing of our Swedish forest assets will be a key focus, as will the ongoing strategic review of our Central European wood products business and ramping up the new production line in Oulu, Finland.

At the core of everything we do is people – our customers, employees, shareholders and partners. I want to thank you all for the dedication and resilience during this transformative year. Together, we are building a stronger, more focused, and more sustainable Stora Enso.

MILAN, Feb. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — With the world’s attention turning to the upcoming Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Tuesday announced its support for the 2034 Utah Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games during a media event at the headquarters of the Milan Foreign Press Association. The commitment includes a financial contribution, venue support, land use, and thousands of volunteers as Salt Lake City prepares to welcome the world once again.

The announcement came as global attention turns toward northern Italy ahead of the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympic Winter Games, which begin February 6.

During the event, Bishop Sean Douglas, Second Counselor in the Church’s Presiding Bishopric, read a statement outlining a broad commitment to support the success of the 2034 Games. These include a significant financial donation, access to Church-owned real estate known in Salt Lake City as Block 85 for use as an official Olympic venue, and the use of additional land for parking adjacent to proposed Olympic sites.

Bishop Douglas also noted that members of the Church will be encouraged to serve as volunteers, consistent with the Church’s long-standing emphasis on service, hospitality and strengthening families.

“While this contribution of cash and real estate is important,” said Bishop Douglas, “beyond price are the hearts and extraordinary commitment of our member volunteers who make this contribution truly complete and unique.”

The Church’s involvement continues a long history of meaningful engagement with the Games. In the lead-up to the 2002 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City, the Church provided financial support, venue facilities and thousands of volunteers. The partnership announced for 2034 builds on that legacy of service and collaboration.

Fraser Bullock, executive chair and president of Utah 2034, expressed gratitude for the Church’s contributions, noting that partnerships from community organizations such as the Church are a key reason Utah is well positioned to host another successful Games.

“The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is an integral part of Utah’s heritage and was a vital supporter of the 2002 Winter Games,” Bullock said. “Our new relationship fortifies the partnership we shared in 2002. It also extends a worldwide reach from the Church that carries a global message of unity and service to others — very much in line with Olympic and Paralympic ideals.”

Bullock also referenced the example of 2002, when Utah delivered a widely praised Olympic experience marked by unity, volunteerism and cultural celebration.

“Utah’s capital of Salt Lake City will be the heart of the Games,” said Bullock of the conspicuous downtown venue. “Imagine now how thousands will congregate nightly at the Medals Plaza and thrill to the high-flying acrobatics with the addition of big air.”

Continued Commitment to Welcoming the World

In a statement issued in 2024 when Salt Lake City was named the 2034 host city, the First Presidency said the Church “[stands] ready to support the 2034 Olympic Games in welcoming athletes, volunteers and visitors from around the world” and is committed to helping Salt Lake City embody “values of service, cooperation and mutual respect.”

Tuesday’s announcement in Milan reaffirmed that readiness.

Produced by the Black Promoters Collective (BPC), Massive Sold-Out Shows Draw Diverse Crowds in Opening Week as the Legendary Trio Delivers an Immersive, Theatrical Spectacle Unlike Anything Seen Before

Early Rave Reviews:

LA Times | Pollstar | Ebony

HOUSTON, Feb. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Black Promoters Collective is pleased to announce the arrival of the New Edition Way Tour, an event that’s not just redefining the concert experience in 2026 but rewriting the rules of live entertainment. With back-to-back sold-out nights, these shows have shattered expectations. Headliner New Edition with Boyz II Men, and Toni Braxton are delivering the definitive R&B event of the year.

Find photos and recaps here.

The second the lights dim, the arena erupts into a multi-sensory, high-octane spectacle that fuses breathtaking theatrical storytelling with relentless musical energy. The centerpiece: a newly created showtime elevated single, “We Going Out Tonight,” uniting all three legendary acts in one unforgettable moment. Even more powerful is the diversity pouring from the stands — fans of every background, every generation, every walk of life, all coming together for a celebration of R&B’s finest.

New Edition delivered pure, unmatched energy, performing hit songs that defy time and continue to ignite their fanbase. Their choreography remains second to none, drawing not only screams from the crowd but fans in the stands breaking into the iconic dance moves straight out of the classic music videos. Spanning the 80s, 90s, and 2000s, New Edition delivered every era with precision, passion, and showmanship that no other act on the planet can match.

The opening night in Oakland saw California Congresswoman Lateefah Simon, present New Edition with a Certificates of Congressional Recognition, one of the greatest honors that Congress bestows.

The second night in Las Vegas brought an electric surprise — the reveal of Boyz II Men’s fourth founding member Michael McCary, who was clearly emotional, sharing the stage while sending the arena into a frenzy. The moment quickly went viral on social media. Throughout the night, Boyz II Men delivered a masterclass in vocal harmony, performing in the round in a 360-degree celebration that made every seat feel like the best seat in the house.

Toni Braxton made an illustrious grand entrance via riser, electrifying the crowd from the moment she appeared. From her flawless vocal delivery on hits like “Breathe Again” and “Just Be a Man About It” to every detail of her visual presentation, Braxton commanded the stage. Her stunning costume changes — from shimmery gowns to angelic regalia — punctuated the evening, keeping the spectacle as dynamic as the music itself. Adding to the night’s surprises, Braxton brought out social media influencer and journalist Kayla Nicole for a special cameo during the Los Angeles stop — a full-circle moment that came months after Nicole went viral for recreating a scene from Braxton’s Grammy Award-winning “He Wasn’t Man Enough” music video for Halloween, sending the crowd into a frenzy.

In addition to the Boyz II Men surprise, the third night included a show-stopping appearance by B2K, who performed “Bump, Bump, Bump,” receiving an electric reception by fans who jumped out of their seats in Los Angeles. The group recently went viral after paying homage to headliner New Edition at a Grammy event and will embark on a reunion tour this Spring brought to you by Black Promoters Collective.

The New Edition Way Tour is raising the bar for live music everywhere. In a world overflowing with spectacle, this tour brings heart, history, and harmony to the forefront, creating a non-stop party that leaves every attendee buzzing. With word spreading like, the New Edition Way Tour stands as the undisputed must-see event of the year.

The opening nights drew an impressive roster of celebrities, influencers, and dignitaries, including Barry Bonds, Tina Knowles, Sanaa Lathan, Kelly Rowland, Martin Lawrence, DeWayne Wade, Gabrielle Union, Judge Mathis, Jermaine Dupri, Brian Michael Cox, DJ Cassidy, Spectacular from Pretty Rickey, actress AJ Johnson, radio personality Big Boy and more.

Be sure to catch the next show in Chicago on Wednesday, February 4th at the United Center. You don’t want to miss it!
