Valmet Oyj
Investor Relations

Valmet Oyj, a Finnish industrial heavyweight, has established its stance as a major player in the global market through its unwavering focus on providing advanced technologies and services for the pulp, paper, and energy industries. With roots tracing back to the 18th century, the company has accumulated profound expertise and a rich heritage in industrial machinery, which it leverages to drive innovation. Valmet's core operations revolve around the design, manufacture, and supply of high-performance equipment that supports the efficient production of pulp and paper, as well as technologies that convert biomass into renewable energy. By incorporating automation, service, and digital solutions into its offerings, Valmet ensures its customers can achieve higher operational reliability, better energy efficiency, and improved overall sustainability.

While many companies in its sector face significant disruptions, Valmet has adroitly navigated these challenges by staying adaptable and customer-centric. Its service revenue is bolstered by long-term maintenance agreements, which ensure plants run smoothly and benefit from continual technological upgrades. In a circular economy pivot, Valmet also enables clients to optimize their resource use by developing environmentally sound solutions and capitalizing on the growing demand for sustainable processes. In doing so, it captures value not only from equipment sales but also from ancillary services like consulting, training, and digital monitoring systems, all of which enhance the operational lifespan and efficiency of its installations. This multifaceted approach has been pivotal to Valmet's ability to maintain a competitive edge and solidify its profitability in diverse and dynamic global markets.

AI Summary
Q1 2025

Orders Growth: Orders received rose to EUR 1.3 billion in Q1, with record stable business order intake and notable strength in Services and Automation.

Flat Net Sales: Net sales were flat year-over-year, as strong stable business was offset by a decline in Process Technologies, which continues to face weak market conditions.

Profitability: Comparable EBITA remained unchanged at EUR 121 million, with a slightly improved margin of 10.2%. Services EBITA margin hit a record 17.6% in Q1.

Cash Flow: Cash flow was a highlight, reaching EUR 217 million for the quarter and EUR 633 million for the last 12 months, driven by lower net working capital.

Cost Savings Plan: Valmet announced plans to renew its operating model, targeting EUR 80 million in annual cost savings by early 2026, impacting up to 1,150 white-collar roles.

Unchanged Guidance: Guidance for 2025 net sales and comparable EBITA remains unchanged, expected to stay at last year’s level amid ongoing market uncertainty in Process Technologies.

Tariff & Macro Uncertainty: Management sees no major customer activity changes due to tariffs yet but notes some hesitation on larger investments; Valmet’s U.S. presence and flexible supply chain help mitigate potential impacts.
