Holmen’s year-end report 2017

Operating profit for 2017 amounted to SEK 2 166 million (2016: SEK 2 162 million excluding items affecting comparability). Deliveries of paperboard, paper and wood products increased and the sales mix improved, but this was offset by higher costs for input goods and shipping, as well as significant maintenance shutdowns.
Compared with the third quarter, operating profit decreased by SEK 172 million to SEK 421 million, mainly as a result of costs and production losses from a maintenance shutdown at Iggesund Mill.
Profit after tax for 2017 was SEK 1 668 million (1 424), which corresponds to earnings per share of SEK 19.9 (16.9).
Return on capital employed was 8.7 (8.6) per cent.
Cash flow for 2017 was strong and covered the dividend of SEK 1 008 million, and reduced net debt by SEK 889 million.
