Norske Skog: Higher market share in challenging publication paper market

Norske Skog’s EBITDA in the third quarter of 2024 was NOK 91 million, a decrease from NOK 471 million in the second quarter of 2024. Norske Skog implemented price increases for both containerboard and newsprint during the quarter to mitigate continued cost increases. Norske Skog received excellent feedback from containerboard customers as deliveries continued to grow. Despite signs of positive market developments for Norske Skog in the publication and containerboard markets, these markets are still experiencing excess capacity, thus closures are still required.

“We are receiving excellent feedback from our customers on the quality of our containerboard products, which bodes well for our plan to deliver a total of 760,000 tonnes of packaging paper from Bruck and Golbey to the market in the coming years. We are particularly pleased to have strengthened our position in the newsprint market by increasing our market share through higher sales volumes in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the same quarter last year, especially in a declining market for publication paper,” says Geir Drangsland, CEO of Norske Skog.
