MANAGEMENT REPORT
Consolidated net sales for Q3 2025 were EUR 1.99 million, which was a 2.5%
increase compared to the same period last year (Q3 2024: EUR 1.94 million). Nordic
Fibreboard`s sales revenue Q3 2025 was generated from the Group`s main activity,
which is the production and wholesale of fibreboard.
The consolidated EBITDA of Nordic Fibreboard for Q3 2025 was positive EUR 94
thousand, the EBITDA margin was positive 5% (Q3 2024: EBITDA was negative EUR 19
thousand, and the EBITDA margin was negative 1%). Compared to the Q3 2024 the
Group`s gross margin increased from 16% to 24% in the Q3 2025, which indicates
that the Group`s profitability in the Q3 2025 has increased compared to the same
period last year.
Financial expenses, which consisted of interest expenses, amounted to EUR 43
thousand in Q3 2025 (2024 Q3: EUR 113 thousand, consisting of interest expenses in

shares in the amount of EUR 60 thousand).
Group`s consolidated net loss for Q3 2025 was EUR 77 thousand (Q3 2024: net loss EUR
263 thousand).
The Management Board assesses the performance of operating segments based on
operating profit and EBITDA as a primary measure. As a secondary measure, the
Management Board also reviews net revenue. The Group defines EBITDA as profit
before extraordinary other operating costs and net finance costs and tax,
depreciation and impairment charges. As extraordinary other business expenses,
the Group has treated one-time expenses that have not arisen in the course of
normal business activities but have arisen from some extraordinary
circumstances. EBITDA is not a performance measure defined in IFRS. The Group`s
definition of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled operating profit
measures and disclosures by other entities.

Fibreboard production and sales
The production and sale of fibreboards is carried out by Nordic Fibreboard Ltd
OÜ, a subsidiary of Nordic Fibreboard AS. Fibreboard sales in Q3 2025 were EUR
1.99 million (Q3 2024: EUR 1.94 million). Sales revenue has remained mainly at the
same level as last year. The low growth was mainly due to the marginal growth of
the Finnish market in the third quarter and an increase in activity in distant
markets compared to last year. New customers have been added from countries
where there were no sales in the Q3 2024.
The EBITDA of the fibreboard for the Q3 2025 was a positive EUR 112 thousand, (Q3
2024: negative EUR 19 thousand). The net loss of the fibreboard for the Q3 2025
was EUR 48 thousand (Q3 2024: net loss EUR 262 thousand).
