STORA ENSO OYJ STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 24 November 2025 at 16:00 EET

HELSINKI, Nov. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Stora Enso will implement a new financial reporting structure effective 1 January 2026, aligning with the Group's enhanced focus on renewable materials and packaging. In addition, the Group is introducing new financial targets along with a clear roadmap to achieve them. More insights will be shared at Stora Enso's Capital Markets Day tomorrow, 25 November.

Reporting structure

Following the recent decision to separate Stora Enso's Swedish forest assets into a listed public company and to initiate a strategic review of the Central European sawmilling and building solutions business, Stora Enso will further strengthen its leadership in renewable materials and packaging. The Group will maintain strong market positions, supported by more flexible, integrated, and cost-competitive production. In line with this more focused strategy, Stora Enso is introducing a new financial reporting structure.


            
              Current reporting

            Integrated Packaging (comprising the Containerboard and
                                                             the Packaging Solutions business

The wood products sites in Northern Europe, that are not included in the strategic review announced on 14 November, are integrated into the packaging and biomaterials segments to align with business unit P&L responsibilities.

The Swedish forest assets and the Central European sawmilling and building solutions operations (currently under strategic review) will be reported under the segment Other.

Stora Enso will publish restated comparative figures for the new structure during the first quarter of 2026.
