Outlook for
2023
Suominen expects that its comparable EBITDA (earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) in 2023 will
increase from 2022. In 2022, Suominen’s comparable EBITDA was EUR
15.3 million.
Tommi Björnman, President &
CEO:
“The second quarter of 2023 continued to be challenging for
Suominen. Our net sales were EUR 112.7 million (118.0) in the
second quarter. Sales volumes were slightly higher compared to the
comparison period but sales prices decreased following lower raw
material prices.
Our quarterly comparable EBITDA increased to EUR 2.7 million
(1.9) mainly due to better sales margins and lower SG&A (Sales,
general and administration) costs.
We are continuing to identify and implement actions to improve
our financial performance. As part of our improvement actions, we
started in January the consultation procedure to permanently close
manufacturing at our Mozzate plant in Italy. The consultation
procedure was concluded and the production at Mozzate ended in
April 2023. We continue our actions to improve operational
efficiency in our other plants.
Our investment project in Nakkila, Finland, to strengthen our
capabilities in sustainable products by enhancing and upgrading one
of the production lines, is proceeding as planned and the project
will be completed in the second half of 2023.
Suominen’s strong reputation in the market and comprehensive
sustainable product portfolio gives us a solid platform to
implement our strategy and further strengthen customer
collaboration. Innovation is at the core of our strategy and the
sales of new products continued strong, representing over 35% of
net sales.
Even though the market challenges continued, the second quarter
was operatively slightly better than the first quarter of the year.
While market conditions remain uncertain, as there is still a lot
of turbulence in the global economy, I am looking forward to our
improvement actions to contribute positively to our performance
during the second half of the year.”
NET SALES
April–June 2023
In April–June 2023, Suominen’s net sales decreased by 4.5% from
the comparison period to EUR 112.7 million (118.0). Sales volumes
were slightly higher than in the comparison period, but sales
prices decreased following lower raw material prices. The impact of
currencies on net sales was EUR -1.6 million.
Suominen’s business areas are Americas and Europe. The net sales
of the Americas business area were EUR 69.8 million (64.2) and of
the Europe business area EUR 42.9 million (53.8). The main negative
impact in Europe is coming from Mozzate plant closure.
January–June 2023
In January–June 2023, Suominen’s net sales were in line with the
previous year and amounted to EUR 229.5 million (228.3). Sales
volumes were in line with H1/2022 and sales prices were lower. The
impact of currencies on net sales was positive EUR 1.7 million.
The net sales of the Americas business area were EUR 144.8
million (126.0) and of the Europe business area EUR 84.7 million
(102.3). The main negative impact in Europe is coming from Mozzate
plant closure.
EBITDA, OPERATING PROFIT AND RESULT
April–June 2023
Comparable EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization) was EUR 2.7 million (1.9). The increase was
driven mainly due to better sales margins and lower SG&A
costs.
The impact of currencies on comparable EBITDA was EUR 0.2
million.
EBITDA was EUR -1.9 million (1.9) due to non-recurring items
arising from the closure of production at the Mozzate plant in
Italy. The items affecting comparability of EBITDA totaled EUR -4.6
million and consisted mainly of dismissal and restoration
expenses.
Comparable operating profit increased from the comparison period
and amounted to EUR -2.1 million (-2.9). Operating profit decreased
and was EUR -6.7 million (-2.9). The items affecting comparability
of operating profit totaled EUR -4.6 million.
Profit before income taxes was EUR -8.0 million (-2.2), and
profit for the reporting period was EUR -8.2 million (-2.3).
January–June 2023
Comparable EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization) was EUR 5.3 million (5.2). Our sales prices were
generally lower but were offset by lower raw material, energy and
logistics costs. Our other operating income was higher compared to
the comparison period mainly due to tax credits in Italy. The
impact of currencies on EBITDA was EUR 0.3 million.
EBITDA declined to EUR 0.7 million (5.2) due to non-recurring
items arising from the closure of production at the Mozzate plant
in Italy. The items affecting comparability of EBITDA totaled EUR
-4.6 million and consisted mainly of dismissal and restoration
expenses.
Comparable operating profit was EUR -4.1 million (-4.2).
Operating profit decreased and was EUR -8.8 million (-4.2). The
items affecting comparability of operating profit totaled EUR -4.7
million.
Profit before income taxes was EUR -11.6 million (-4.4), and
profit for the reporting period was EUR -12.1 million (-4.7).
FINANCING
The Group’s net interest-bearing liabilities at nominal value
amounted to EUR 55.4 million (53.6) at the end of the review
period. The gearing ratio was 43.5% (33.9%) and the equity ratio
39.7% (39.0%).
In January–June, net financial expenses were EUR -2.8 million
(-0.2), or -1.2% (-0.1%) of net sales. Fluctuations in exchange
rates increased the net financial expenses by EUR 0.3 million
(decreased by EUR 3.0 million).
Cash flow from operations in April–June was EUR 6.4 million
(11.9) and in January–June EUR 9.7 million (9.2), representing a
cash flow per share of EUR 0.17 (0.16) and EUR 0.11 (0.21) for the
quarter. The cash flows for both the second quarter and H1/2023
include redundancy costs totalling EUR 2.2 million related to
Mozzate plant closure.
In the second quarter the change in working capital was EUR 9.0
million (10.9).
The increase in the cash flow from operations in the first half
of the year was mainly due to positive change in net working
capital as we were able to release cash from inventories and
receivables. The change in net working capital was EUR 12.1 million
(6.6).
CAPITAL EXPENDITURE
In January–June, the gross capital expenditure totaled EUR 3.7
million (4.0) and was mainly related to normal maintenance
investments as well as to the upgrading of one of the production
lines in Nakkila, Finland.
Depreciation, amortization and impairment losses for the review
period amounted to EUR 9.5 million (9.3).
CLOSURE OF MOZZATE PLANT IN ITALY
Suominen announced on April 14, 2023, that it has completed the
consultation procedure with local trade unions regarding the plan
to permanently close manufacturing at the Mozzate plant. Following
the completion of the process, Suominen moved forward with its plan
which led to the closure of manufacturing at the plant and
termination of employment of 55 employees in Mozzate.
The terminations resulted in approximately EUR 2.2 million
non-recurring expenses which were recognized in the second quarter
of 2023. In addition, other non-recurring expenses related to the
closure amounted to EUR 2.5 million in the second quarter of
2023.
PROGRESS IN SUSTAINABILITY
We have strong focus on safety and accident prevention, and our
long-term target is to have zero lost-time accidents.
Unfortunately, during the first half of the year there were 3 (0)
LTAs at Suominen sites, but on the other hand our Paulinia plant in
Brazil achieved a remarkable milestone of 4,000 days without
LTAs.
We systematically measure our employee engagement by conducting
our engagement survey, Suominen Vibe, every year. During the first
half of 2023, we continued our development actions based on the
results from the survey conducted last year. The next Vibe survey
is set for autumn 2023.
We are committed to continuously improving our production
efficiency and the efficient utilization of natural resources. In
the first half we continued our actions to reduce energy
consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption and waste
to landfill. Our target is to reduce these by 20% per ton of
product by 2025 compared to the base year of 2019.
We offer a comprehensive portfolio of sustainable nonwovens to
our customers and continuously develop innovative solutions with a
reduced environmental impact. Our target is a 50% increase in sales
of sustainable nonwovens by 2025 compared to 2019, and to have over
10 sustainable product launches per year.
Suominen reports progress in its key sustainability KPIs
annually.
As part of our Annual Report 2022 published in March 2023 we
reported on the progress of our sustainability performance. Our
sustainability reporting in 2022 was done in accordance with the
GRI Standards from the Global Reporting Initiative and it was
assured by an external partner.

The President & CEO of the company must hold 50% of the net
number of shares given on the basis of the plan, as long as his or
her shareholding in total corresponds to the value of his or her
annual gross salary. A member of the Executive Team must hold 50%
of the net number of shares given on the basis of the plan, as long
as his or her shareholding in total corresponds to the value of
half of his or her annual gross salary. Such number of shares must
be held as long as the participant’s employment or service in a
group company continues.
The President & CEO’s share-based incentive plan
The Board of Directors of Suominen Corporation resolved on May
19 to establish a new share-based incentive plan for the company’s
President & CEO. The aim of the plan is to align the objectives
of the shareholders and the President & CEO in order to
increase the value of Suominen in the long-term, to retain the
President & CEO at the company, and to offer him a competitive
reward plan that is based on acquiring, receiving and accumulating
the company's shares.
Under the plan the President & CEO is expected to own or
acquire up to 30,000 shares of Suominen Corporation at a price
formed in public trading on Nasdaq Helsinki. Suominen will match
the share investment by way of the President & CEO receiving,
without consideration, up to 60,000 matching shares (gross,
including also the proportion to be paid in cash).
The plan includes three vesting periods, June 1, 2023–June 1,
2024, June 1, 2023–June 1, 2025, and June 1, 2023–June 1, 2026. The
potential reward will be paid partly in shares and partly in cash
in three equal installments after each vesting period, provided
that the President & CEO’s service in the company is in force
at the time of the reward payment. The cash proportion is intended
to cover taxes and tax-related costs arising from the rewards to
the President & CEO.

proportion to the holdings of the shareholders by using the
non-restricted equity through trading on regulated market organized
by Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd at the market price prevailing at the time
of acquisition. The shares shall be repurchased and paid in
accordance with the rules of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd and Euroclear
Finland Ltd. The shares shall be repurchased to be used in
company’s share-based incentive programs, in order to disburse the
remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors, for use as
consideration in acquisitions related to the company’s business, or
to be held by the company, to be conveyed by other means or to be

The AGM authorized the Board of Directors to decide on issuing
new shares and/or conveying the company’s own shares held by the

shares may be issued, and the company’s own shares may be conveyed
to the company’s shareholders in proportion to their current
shareholdings in the company; or by waiving the shareholder’s
pre-emption right, through a directed share issue if the company
has a weighty financial reason to do so, such as, for example,
using the shares as consideration in possible acquisitions or other
arrangements related to the company’s business, as financing for
investments, using shares as part of the company’s incentive
program or using the shares for disbursing the portion of the Board
members’ remuneration that is to be paid in shares. The new shares

granted to the company’s creditor in such a manner that the right
is granted on condition that the creditor’s receivable is used to
set off the subscription price (“Convertible Bond”). However,
options and other special rights referred to in Chapter 10, Section
1 of the Companies Act cannot be granted as part of the company’s
remuneration plan.
The maximum number of new shares that may be subscribed and own
shares held by the company that may be conveyed by virtue of the

Janne Silonsaari and Jonni Friman are members of Suominen's
Executive Team and report to President and CEO Tommi
Björnman.
SHORT TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Regarding the war in Ukraine, the direct impact to Suominen’s
business is minor as we have no customers nor suppliers in Russia,
Belarus or Ukraine. Suominen as a company is mostly affected by the
indirect economic impacts of the war.
Suominen’s other risks and uncertainties include but are not
limited to: risks related to manufacturing, competition, raw
material prices and availability and customer specific volumes and
credits, changes in legislation, political environment or economic
conditions and investments, and financial risks.
A more detailed description of risks is available in Suominen’s
Annual Report 2022 at suominen.fi/investors.
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
Suominen’s nonwovens are, for the most part, used in daily
consumer goods, such as wipes as well as in hygiene and medical
products. In these target markets of Suominen, the general economic
situation determines the development of consumer demand, even
though the demand for consumer goods is not very cyclical in
nature. North America and Europe are the largest market areas for
Suominen. In addition, the company operates in the South American
markets. The growth in the demand for nonwovens has typically
exceeded the growth of gross domestic product by a couple of
percentage points.
The near future continues to look challenging due to the global
economic turbulence and fierce competition. The raw material prices
continued to decline in Q2/2023 from the previous quarter (Q1/2023)
and in the short term we are not expecting major changes in the
prices, but longer-term visibility is unclear. It remains to be
seen how the current economic climate impacts the end consumer
demand and consumer preferences regarding wipes. Historically, the
wipes market has been rather steady despite the general economic
situation.
OUTLOOK FOR 2023
Suominen expects that its comparable EBITDA (earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) in 2023 will
increase from 2022. In 2022, Suominen’s comparable EBITDA was EUR
15.3 million.

CALCULATION OF KEY RATIOS AND ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE
MEASURES
Key ratios per share are either IFRS key ratios (earnings per
share) or required by Ordinance of the Ministry of Finance in
Finland or alternative performance measures (cash flow from
operations per share).
Some of the other key ratios Suominen publishes are alternative
performance measures. An alternative performance measure is a key
ratio, which has not been defined in IFRS standards. Suominen
believes that the use of alternative performance measures provides
useful information for example to investors regarding the Group's
financial and operating performance and makes it easier to make
comparisons between the reporting periods.
The link between the components of the key ratios per share and
the consolidated financial statements is presented in the
consolidated financial statements of 2022. The link between the
components of the alternative performance measures and the
consolidated financial statements is presented in Suominen’s Annual
Report for 2022.

Calculation of key ratios and alternative performance
measures
Operating profit and comparable operating
profit
Operating
profit (EBIT) |
= |
Profit before income taxes + net financial expenses |
|
|
|
|
|
Comparable
operating profit (EBIT) |
= |
Profit before income taxes + net financial expenses, adjusted with
items affecting comparability |
In order to improve the comparability of result between
reporting periods, Suominen presents comparable operating profit as
an alternative performance measure. Operating profit is adjusted
with material items that are considered to affect comparability
between reporting periods. These items include, among others,
impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses, gains or
losses from the sales of property, plant and equipment or
intangible assets or other assets and restructuring costs.

It is the opinion of Suominen that presenting interest-bearing
liabilities not only at amortized cost but also at nominal value
gives relevant additional information to the investors.
