Nordic Fibreboard AS unaudited results for fourth quarter of 2025
MANAGEMENT REPORT
Nordic Fibreboard AS consolidated net revenue in Q4 2025 was €1.74 million, representing a 14.7% increase compared to the same period of the previous year (Q4 2024: €1.51 million). The Group’s main business activity is the production and wholesale of fibreboard, which accounted for the vast majority of the Group’s revenue in Q4 2025. The second segment is the management of the property located on Suur-Jõe Street in Pärnu, which contributed 0.04% of total Q4 2025 revenue (Q4 2024: 0.1%). In August 2024, the lease agreements for the building on Suur-Jõe Street were terminated due to the specific characteristics of the production building complex located there, which caused high administrative costs that rental income was unable to cover.
Q4 2025 revenue increased by €222 thousand compared to Q4 2024. Revenue in Q4 2025 was €1.74 million compared to €1.51 million in Q4 2024.
Nordic Fibreboard’s consolidated EBITDA in Q4 2025 was negative €335 thousand, with an EBITDA margin of negative 19% (Q4 2024 EBITDA: negative €276 thousand, EBITDA margin: negative 18%). The Q4 2025 results were negatively impacted by the planned shutdown of the factory for the entire month of December to allow the company to transition to a new gas boiler house. In December 2024, the factory was forced to shut down due to a force majeure situation, which negatively affected Q4 2024 results. Compared to Q4 2024, the Group’s gross margin improved from -4.8% to 0% in Q4 2025, indicating that the Group’s profitability in Q4 2025 has improved relative to the same period of the previous year.
Financial income in Q4 2025 was €1 thousand (Q4 2024 financial income was €68 thousand, consisting of the revaluation of Trigon Property Development (TPD) shares). Financial expenses in Q4 2024 were €115 thousand, consisting of loan interest costs and late payment interest (€87 thousand in Q4 2024).
The Group’s consolidated net loss for Q4 2025 was €580 thousand (Q4 2024 net loss: €427 thousand).
FIBREBOARD PRODUCTION AND SALES
Although revenue declined by 3.2% when comparing 2025 to 2024 as a whole, growth was observed when comparing Q4 2025 to Q4 2024. Fibreboard sales revenue in Q4 2025 was €1.74 million compared to €1.51 million in Q4 2024, representing an increase of €222 thousand compared to the fourth quarter of the previous year. The improvement in sales results was supported primarily by industrial sector clients, whose order volume increased in Q4 2025 compared to Q4 2024. A growth trend was also observed in sales to Finland, the largest export market, where revenue reached €426 thousand in Q4 2025, compared to €318 thousand in Q4 2024. On a 12-month rolling basis as of Q4 2025, revenue from the Finnish market amounted to €2.4 million, compared to €2.2 million as of Q4 2024.
The fibreboard segment’s EBITDA in Q4 2025 was negative €289 thousand (Q4 2024: negative €244 thousand). The fibreboard segment’s net loss in Q4 2025 was €535 thousand (Q4 2024 net loss: €390 thousand).
The negative EBITDA in both 2025 and 2024 was attributable to the factory shutdown in December — in 2025 this occurred as planned in order to transition to the new gas boiler house, while in 2024 it was unplanned due to a force majeure situation. During the shutdown, personnel costs, ongoing factory maintenance costs, and repair costs continued to accrue, all of which had a negative impact on EBITDA.
