STORA ENSO OYJ STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 24 November 2025 at 16:00 EET

HELSINKI, Nov. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Stora Enso will implement a new financial reporting structure effective 1 January 2026, aligning with the Group's enhanced focus on renewable materials and packaging. In addition, the Group is introducing new financial targets along with a clear roadmap to achieve them. More insights will be shared at Stora Enso's Capital Markets Day tomorrow, 25 November.

Reporting structure

Following the recent decision to separate Stora Enso's Swedish forest assets into a listed public company and to initiate a strategic review of the Central European sawmilling and building solutions business, Stora Enso will further strengthen its leadership in renewable materials and packaging. The Group will maintain strong market positions, supported by more flexible, integrated, and cost-competitive production. In line with this more focused strategy, Stora Enso is introducing a new financial reporting structure.
