Rottneros year-end report January-December 2024

The fourth quarter was shaped in part by the annual maintenance shutdowns at our two mills, which proceeded smoothly and as planned. Consequently, all three of our major investment projects are now up and running. The underlying performance showed improvement compared with the corresponding quarter of the previous year, despite the upward trend in raw material costs. Demand for chemical softwood pulp remains relatively stable in our key markets, with many customers increasing volumes, especially in our niche segments. We continue our structured approach to gradually developing Rottneros in line with our niche strategy, prioritizing safety, sustainability, and profitability.

Production and deliveries for the Group declined compared with the same quarter last year, mainly as a result of the annual maintenance shutdowns carried out at both mills. In 2023, Rottneros Mill scheduled its maintenance shutdown in September. Excluding temporary items, primarily related to the sale of emission allowances, our underlying EBIT rose by approximately 20 MSEK, despite the negative effect of higher wood costs and maintenance shutdowns on comparability. Fixed costs totaled 240 MSEK, compared with 220 MSEK in the same quarter last year.

Global packaging and paper leader Mondi has accelerated plans to take action on climate by committing to transition to Net-Zero by 2050. This next step builds on almost two decades of progress, including a 45% reduction in specific greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions against a 2004 baseline and science-based targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in 2019. "The climate crisis is the most urgent risk facing society and businesses must take decisive action to mitigate their impact.
