what happened
Swedish pulp producer Rottneros reported that net turnover in the third quarter fell 1%, as higher shipment volumes offset weaker prices. EBITDA moved into positive territory at SEK 26 million, supported by lower variable costs and proceeds from emission allowance sales. The net loss narrowed to SEK 15 million, or SEK 0.06 per share, from a year earlier. The company plans about SEK 60 million in investments for the full year and will keep focusing on cost efficiency and cash flow, citing persistent market overcapacity. The information comes from Reuters, which based its report on LSEG and company data.
why it matters
Overcapacity in pulp keeps prices under pressure, which limits the sector's upside even as costs fall. A stronger US dollar helped both turnover and earnings, so currency moves remain a factor for exporters like Rottneros.
