Rottneros as an investment
The Rottneros share has been listed on Nasdaq Stockholm since 1987 and is part of the Mid Cap segment within Basic Resources. With a strong position in a growing market for sustainable solutions, Rottneros is well positioned for the future and creates long-term value for its shareholders.
Part of the green transition
Together with the entire forest industry, Rottneros is part of the green transition to a circular economy, with solutions that have a positive effect on the environment and climate.
Pulp is replacing fossil-based raw materials, and is used for the production of renewable products. Rottneros’ goal is to achieve fossil-free production by 2030.
Long-term profitability
Rottneros focuses on areas of use where our products create added value. The investment in moulded fibre trays gives a broadened revenue base, which reduces exposure in the long run to the pulp market.
In 2024, EBIT was MSEK 47, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 2 percent. By increasing production volumes, we counteract cost inflation.
Solid finances
Over time, the Group has maintained a strong equity ratio and low debt levels, with a 2024 equity ratio of 66 percent. Net debt was 393 MSEK, and available liquidity reached 392 MSEK. This financial strength allows for strategic investments in both pulp mills and new projects to expand the revenue base.
Good return to shareholders
Rottneros’ policy is to distribute 30-50 percent of net profit to the shareholders. For 2024, the Board proposes no dividend, due to the year’s results and global uncertainties.
During the year, 0.50 SEK per share was distributed, with a total return (value increase plus dividend) of -22 percent.
A market with conditions for long-term growth
Several global trends drive long-term growth in the pulp market, creating expansion opportunities in our selected niches. Rottneros is already a world leader in E-pulp and filter pulp and has strong expertise in fiber-based food trays. Key success factors include high product quality, excellent service, close customer relationships, and access to both chemical and mechanical pulp.
Ongoing innovative projects and feasibility studies will continue to broaden Rottneros' revenue base and reduce dependence on the pulp market.
