- Comparable EBITDA decreased to EUR 10.7 million (12.8)
- Cash flow from operations was EUR 5.2 million (-2.6)Outlook for 2025Suominen communicated on October 15, 2025, a change in its outlook. The company now expects that its comparable EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) in 2025 will be lower compared to 2024. In 2024, Suominen’s comparable EBITDA was EUR 17.0 million.In its Financial Statements release for 2024, published on March 5, 2025, and in its half-year report published on August 7, 2025, Suominen estimated that its comparable EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) in 2025 will improve from 2024.Charles Héaulmé, President & CEO:“Nonwoven demand has historically been stronger in the second half of the year. However, after the supply chain disruption during the first half of the year, the third quarter volume recovery progressed slower than previously anticipated.During the third quarter, our net sales decreased by 11% and were EUR 99.8 million (111.6). Sales volumes decreased but sales margins increased from the corresponding period of 2024. Currencies impacted net sales negatively by EUR 3.7 million.Our quarterly comparable EBITDA increased to EUR 3.4 million (3.3). During the third quarter, two major incidents affected our US plants: an equipment failure at one facility resulted in an extended production line shutdown and additional costs, while another facility experienced significant flooding in the storage area that required disposal of inventory. These incidents affected our ability to supply during the third quarter. The total negative impact of these incidents on comparable EBITDA was EUR 2.8 million. Damages are being evaluated for potential recovery, though the timing of compensation remains uncertain.We have accelerated the execution of our cost-saving program, announced in May 2025, which is expected to result in savings of approximately EUR 10 million over the next 24 months. We are on track to implement the majority of the actions by the end of the year.Sustainability is at the core of both our strategy and daily operations, particularly innovating for sustainable solutions. The share of new products remained on a good level, totaling 30% of net sales in the third quarter and 28% year-to-date.In 2025 Suominen was awarded by the EcoVadis assessment a Gold Medal for the second consecutive year. The result places Suominen in the top 2% of companies in the manufacture of other textiles industry and in the top 2% of all companies in all industries rated by EcoVadis. Continuing to execute our strategy to be the frontrunner in sustainability, the on-going investments in Alicante, Spain and Bethune, USA, are progressing as planned.Given the slower than expected market recovery and the incidents in our plants, we revised our full year guidance on comparable EBITDA and now expect comparable EBITDA to be lower than in 2024. As we move forward, our priority remains on driving the turnaround and elevating the company’s performance.”NET SALESJuly–September 2025In July–September 2025, Suominen’s net sales decreased from the comparison period by 11% to EUR 99.8 million (111.6).

Net sales of the Americas business area amounted to EUR 60.3 million (69.5) and net sales of the EMEA business area to EUR 39.5 million (42.1).January–September 2025In January–September 2025, Suominen’s net sales decreased from the comparison period by 8% and amounted to EUR 317.1 million (343.8).

Currency impact on comparable EBITDA was EUR -0.7 million.EBITDA decreased to EUR 10.0 million (11.8). The items affecting comparability of EBITDA totaled EUR
-0.7 million (-1.0). The items affecting comparability were mainly related to the restructuring program launched at the end of May.Comparable operating profit was EUR -1.9 million (-1.2).

The improvement in cash flow from operations for January–September primarily resulted from reductions in capital tied up in net working capital, particularly trade receivables, following targeted measures implemented to accelerate net working capital turnover.In the third quarter the change in net working capital in the cash flow from operations was EUR 13.9 million (-2.7). The change in net working capital in the cash flow from operations in January–September was EUR 0.9 million (-9.7).At the end of June, Suominen entered into a single-currency syndicated credit facility agreement which consists of EUR 50 million term loan and EUR 50 million revolving credit facility with a maturity of three years with a one-year extension option.

The improvements were primarily the result of newly implemented policies.

Demand in global supply chains, especially regarding tariffs in the USA, are recovering but at a slower pace than previously expected.

The ongoing war in Ukraine has no direct impact on Suominen’s business, as the company does not have customers or suppliers in Russia, Belarus, or Ukraine. Suominen is primarily affected by the indirect economic impacts of the conflict. The situation in the Red Sea has caused volatility in sea freight costs.Suominen’s other risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to: risks related to manufacturing, competition, raw material prices and availability, 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 2024 at www.suominen.fi/investors.BUSINESS ENVIRONMENTSuominen’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.We follow the market development and signals from our customers closely, but the overall global economic uncertainty and fierce competition continue to make longer-term visibility challenging. 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.Geopolitical tensions such as instabilities in the Middle East and the war in Ukraine continue to generate uncertainty globally. Possible impacts to Suominen as a company are expected to be mainly indirect. However, possible effects on supply chain, especially on raw material and logistic costs, would impact Suominen directly. We continue to monitor the situation.The ongoing US tariff developments are contributing to increased market uncertainty. Fluctuations in tariff policies may lead to temporary disruptions within supply chains. In the third quarter, volume recovery from supply chain disruption mostly related to US tariff variations progressed slower than previously anticipated.OUTLOOK FOR 2025Suominen expects that its comparable EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) in 2025 will be lower compared to 2024. In 2024, Suominen’s comparable EBITDA was EUR 17.0 million.CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND REMUNERATION REPORTSuominen has prepared a separate Corporate Governance Statement and a Remuneration Report for 2024, which comply with the recommendations of the Finnish Corporate Governance Code for listed companies.

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 2024. The link between the components of the alternative performance measures and the consolidated financial statements is presented in Suominen’s Annual Report for 2024.Calculation of key ratios per shareEarnings per shareBasic earnings per share (EPS) = Profit for the periodShare-issue adjusted average number of shares excluding treasury shares Diluted earnings per share (EPS) Profit for the period=Average diluted share-issue adjusted number of shares excluding treasury sharesEUR thousand 30.9.202530.9.202431.12.2024Profit for the period -8,155-6,135-5,290 Average share-issue adjusted number of shares 57,755,94057,709,04957,713,587Average diluted share-issue adjusted number of shares excluding treasury shares 57,864,26157,827,14657,878,570 Earnings per share EUR Basic -0.14-0.11-0.09Diluted -0.14-0.11-0.09Cash flow from operations per shareCash flow from operations per share Cash flow from operations=Share-issue adjusted number of shares excluding treasury shares, end of reporting period30.9.202530.9.202431.12.2024Cash flow from operations, EUR thousand 5,190-2,6423,857Share-issue adjusted number of shares excluding treasury shares, end of reporting period 57,772,47557,727,10357,727,103Cash flow from operations per share, EUR 0.09-0.050.07Equity per shareEquity per share Total equity=Share-issue adjusted number of shares excluding treasury shares, end of reporting period30.9.202530.9.202431.12.2024Total equity attributable to owners of the parent, EUR thousand 100,153110,781117,608Share-issue adjusted number of shares excluding treasury shares, end of reporting period 57,772,47557,727,10357,727,103Equity per share, EUR 1.731.922.04Market capitalizationMarket capitalization=Number of shares at the end of reporting period excluding treasury shares x share price at the end of period30.9.202530.9.202431.12.2024Number of shares at the end of reporting period excluding treasury shares 57,772,47557,727,10357,727,103Share price at end of the period, EUR1.812.582.28Market capitalization, EUR million 104.6148.9131.6Share turnoverShare turnover=The proportion of number of shares traded during the period to weighted average number of shares excluding treasury shares30.9.202530.9.202431.12.2024Number of shares traded during the period 665,056619,821951,426Average number of shares excluding treasury shares57,755,94057,709,04957,713,587Share turnover, % 1.21.11.7Calculation of key ratios and alternative performance measuresOperating profit and comparable operating profitOperating profit (EBIT)=Profit before income taxes + net financial expenses Comparable operating profit (EBIT)=Profit before income taxes + net financial expenses, adjusted with items affecting comparabilityIn order to improve the comparability of results 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.Comparable operating profitEUR thousand 30.9.202530.9.202431.12.2024Operating profit -2,670-2,126-1,257+ Dismissal costs affecting comparability 7871,6731,605+ Restoration costs affecting comparability / reversals of restoration provisions -49-375-1,435+ Other costs affecting comparability −−4+ Other operating income, affecting comparability −-271-305+ Impairment losses of right-of-use assets, affecting comparability of result −33+ Impairment losses of inventories and reversals of the impairment losses, affecting comparability of result−-65-41Comparable operating profit-1,933-1,161-1,426EBITDA and comparable EBITDAEBITDA=EBIT + depreciation, amortization and impairment lossesComparable EBITDA=EBIT + depreciation, amortization and impairment losses, adjusted with items affecting comparabilityEUR thousand 30.9.202530.9.202431.12.2024Operating profit -2,670-2,126-1,257+ Depreciation, amortization and impairment losses12,63713,93518.431EBITDA9,96611,80917,174 EBITDA 9,96611,80917,174+ Costs affecting comparability of result 738962-173Comparable EBITDA10,70412,77117,001Gross capital expenditureEUR thousand 30.9.202530.9.202431.12.2024Increases in intangible assets 14773109Increases in property, plant and equipment16,8328,75015,895Gross capital expenditure 16,9798,82316,004Interest-bearing net debtIt 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.Interest-bearing net debt=Interest-bearing liabilities at nominal value -
