Forest

Operating profit increased slightly to SEK 538 million. Pulpwood prices started to fall from very high levels, while competition for logs kept log prices largely unchanged. Holmen emphasizes active, responsible forest management to optimise long‑term value and secure raw material supply.

Renewable Energy

Operating loss of SEK -18 million in Q3 2025 due to an electricity surplus in northern Sweden and a low average price of SEK 185/MWh. Current prices do not cover production costs, though Holmen notes potential long‑term benefits as low prices can attract electricity‑intensive industry.

Wood Products

Operating loss of SEK -91 million driven by weakened demand, lower seasonal wood product prices after spring, and continued high raw material costs. Production was reduced in southern Sweden because of large log price differentials, but efficient sawmills and processing capacity position Holmen for a recovery when the construction cycle improves.

Board and Paper

Operating profit of SEK 356 million despite weak consumer paperboard markets, lower demand for paper and maintenance shutdowns. Strong performance credited to the ability to adapt electricity‑intensive paper production to a volatile electricity market. In September, Braviken Paper Mill launched a new packaging product using fresh fibre.

Market context & outlook

Geopolitical uncertainty is weighing on the global economy and Holmen’s markets, but the company highlights strength from large land ownership, diversified activities (forestry, energy, packaging, paper) and focus on renewable products that reduce customers’ fossil carbon footprints.
