Holmen

• Operating profit for January–September 2025 amounted to SEK 2 531 million (January–September 2024: 3 005), which corresponds to an operating margin of 15 per cent (17). The decrease in earnings is due to two major maintenance shutdowns in Board and Paper and lower electricity prices in northern Sweden. 
• Compared with the second quarter, operating profit for the third quarter decreased by SEK 70 million to SEK 737 million, as a result of lower selling prices within Wood Products.
• Profit after tax for January–September amounted to SEK 2 298 million (2 304), which corresponds to earnings per share of SEK 14.7 (14.5). The Group’s profit after tax was positively affected by SEK 395 million in the third quarter by the Administrative Court in Stockholm granting Holmen the right to tax deductions linked to the operations the Group previously conducted in Spain. 
• In January–September, own shares were bought back for SEK 1 298 million, equal to 2.0 per cent of the total number of shares.
