Head of Research

Antti Viljakainen

Stora Enso is a global forest industry group. The group includes the production and development of newsprint and book paper, consumer cardboard, industrial packaging and other wood products. The group operates on a global level with its largest presence in Europe and North America. The company was founded in 1998 by the merger of Finnish Enso and Swedish Stora Kopparbergs Bergslags Aktiebolag. The head office is located in Helsinki.

I suspect that the already observed decrease in timber prices and the predicted future rise in interest rates will have an impact on how this situation still turns out. Should have acted a year or two ago. It will probably happen as usual: the price of wood rises sharply and eventually falls to its long-term average. Good and bad for Stora.

It is not yet known and probably won’t be clear for a while. At the CMD, it was mentioned that both companies are aiming for an investment grade credit rating, which practically does not allow debt allocation to only one of the companies. Of course, in this type of extreme solution, tax factors could also become an obstacle.

What portion of the debts will be transferred to the segregated forest? Are interest rates rising in the coming years? This has great significance.

I agree. Perhaps they always make decisions slowly?

The decision to list the forests is welcome, but the timeline for such a project is terribly long. This has already been planned for half a year, and now an additional year and a half is being allocated, making a total of two years to list existing assets, for which balance sheet values should already be available, which do not need to be sold to anyone (meaning no 12-month sales process), and the top management’s will is already clear – so, as I understand it, a very clear process. How can another 18 months be wasted on this? This is a waste of shareholder value; just when momentum, media coverage, and a boost to the stock price were gained, this certainly undermines faith in the company’s ability to innovate and generate added value for its owners. I would expect management to take responsibility and expedite this matter.

Here are Viljakainen’s comments regarding Stora Enso’s Friday announcement.  Stora Enso announced on Friday that it has completed the strategic review of its Swedish forest assets and intends to proceed with a plan to separate the assets into a new listed company. The news was expected and supports our view of Stora Enso’s stock, which relies on unlocking the hidden value in the company’s balance sheet. The negative aspect of Friday’s news was the timeline, as the demerger is only expected to take place in H1’27.                   Inderes              Stora Enso päätti odotetusti Ruotsin metsien listaamisen edistämisestä - Inderes    Stora Enso tiedotti perjantaina, että se on saanut päätökseen Ruotsin metsäomaisuutensa strategisen arvioinnin ja aikoo edetä suunnitelmassa eriyttää omaisuus uudeksi pörssiyhtiöksi. Uutinen oli odotettu ja tukee näkemystämme Stora Enson osakkeesta,...                             Then there’s also this comment from Antti.  Stora Enso announced on Friday that it is initiating a strategic review concerning its sawmills and building solutions operations in Central Europe. The business under review is significant, with a turnover of approximately EUR 800-900 million. This business is outside Stora Enso’s core in the company’s strategy, which focuses on renewable packaging materials and aims to streamline its structure. Against this background, we believe the initiation of the review was not a surprise.                   Inderes              Stora Enso asetti puolet Wood Products -yksiköstään strategiseen tarkasteluun...    Stora Enso tiedotti perjantaina käynnistävänsä strategisen arvioinnin koskien Keski-Euroopan sahojaan ja rakentamisen ratkaisujen toimintojaan. Arvioinnin kohteena oleva liiketoiminta on merkittävä noin 800-900 MEUR:n liikevaihdolla. Liiketoiminta on...

Let’s clarify a bit: In Sweden, Stora owns 1.2 million hectares of forest. The annual growth per hectare is approximately 5 m3. If we consider the price to be 60€ /m3, we arrive at the conclusion that Stora’s forests / the new company’s forests produce about 6 million cubic meters of wood per year, which is approximately 360,000 million €. The value of the forests has been hinted at 4.8 billion, from which an annual return of about 8% could be obtained. 60€ is not necessarily a long-term sustainable price; it’s perhaps more likely that we will see lower prices in the future. Enso has 800 million shares. This means each share would receive a forest share worth approximately 6 euros. The range in which the correct price will be formed is a market decision. If the price ends up lower, the return rises above 8%, which doesn’t sound too bad in itself. What then remains as Enso’s actual profit? Enso has not been able to generate as good a return on capital as the forests that are now leaving the company. The numbers used are indicative.

<p>The market situation is still strong for Stora Enso and robust earnings growth will continue this year. However, we believe that the risk of the cyclical earnings peak being overtaken is very acute, which we expect to make the market increasingly nervous about the company going forward. As such, we continue to favor other companies in the sector, although we do not believe that Stora Enso's valuation is unreasonable at this stage. </p>
