Halvårsrapport: Suominen Corporation's Half-Year Financial Report for January 1 - June 30, 2024: Gradual improvement continued

Suominen Corporation's Half-Year Financial Report for January 1 – June 30, 2024, shows a gradual improvement. Key figures include a 5% increase in net sales to EUR 118.7 million for April–June 2024, and a comparable EBITDA increase to EUR 5.0 million. For the first half of 2024, net sales were EUR 232.3 million, with a comparable EBITDA of EUR 9.5 million. The company expects a rise in comparable EBITDA for 2024 compared to EUR 15.8 million in 2023. President & CEO Tommi Björnman highlighted increased sales volumes, improved sales margins, and ongoing investments in sustainable products. The restructuring program initiated in May aims to reposition Suominen for profitable growth, expecting annual savings of EUR 1.5 million. Financial performance showed an improved EBITDA despite lower sales prices, driven by higher volumes and lower raw material costs. Cash flow from operations was EUR -0.1 million for the first half of the year. The company extended its EUR 100 million credit facility to July 2026 and plans further investments in sustainable product capabilities. Suominen's sustainability efforts focus on safety, employee engagement, and reducing environmental impact, aiming for significant reductions in energy consumption, emissions, and waste by 2025. The AGM held on April 4, 2024, approved financial statements, remuneration policies, and authorized share repurchases. The Board of Directors saw some re-elections and new appointments, and Ernst & Young Oy was re-elected as the auditor. No significant events occurred post-reporting period. Suominen will publish its next financial report on November 6, 2024. The company’s shares are listed on Nasdaq Helsinki.
