Arctic Paper faces a net loss of PLN 21.8mn in Q3 2026 as demand remains subdued, prompting a new efficiency drive and workforce reductions to secure profitability.
Q3 2026 sales fell to PLN 736.6mn from PLN 796.2mn and EBITDA collapsed to PLN 9.7mn from PLN 38.9mn, with EBIT at PLN -28.9mn and net profit PLN -21.8mn. That weak profitability argues for a lower share price, though QoQ improvement, PLN 18mn annual cost savings planned for 2027-2028 and PLN 34.3mn public aid in Q4 2026 soften the blow.
Net profit was PLN -21.8mn, compared with PLN -1.2mn in Q3 2025; EBITDA fell to PLN 9.7mn from PLN 38.9mn.
A new programme targets PLN 18mn of annual cost savings, with effects in 2027–2028 and associated costs in 2026–2027.
Rottneros' Q3 2026 turnover was SEK 570mn versus SEK 574mn, with slightly higher delivery volumes and largely stable pulp prices. Variable costs fell by SEK 51mn on lower pulpwood prices, partly offset by higher energy prices, a modest positive for margins but without profit figures the share-price effect is limited.
Turnover was SEK 570mn vs SEK 574mn, delivery volumes were slightly higher, pulp prices were largely stable and variable costs were SEK 51mn lower.
