SCA: Half-year Report , Q2 2024

SCA’s earnings for the second quarter were stronger compared with the preceding quarter and the year-earlier quarter. Demand for fiber-based products gradually grew during the first half of the year, which led to progressively higher selling prices that positively impacted earnings. The high rate of self-sufficiency in wood raw material, energy and logistics continued to contribute to effective cost control and the strategic capital expenditures recently made in pulp and packaging paper resulted in higher delivery volumes.

The supply of wood raw material to SCA’s industries was stable. The price of sawlogs and pulpwood continued to rise slightly compared with the preceding quarter.

Seasonally stronger demand combined with higher sawlog costs led to increasing selling prices for solid-wood products compared with the preceding quarter.

Demand in the Pulp segment remained at a good level with increased delivery volumes and progressively higher selling prices compared with the preceding quarter.
