Borregaard ASA: EBITDA1 of NOK 428 million in the 1st quarter

Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Earnings Releases And Operating Results.

Borregaard’s operating revenues were NOK 2,005 million (NOK 2,036 million) in the 1st quarter of 2026. EBITDA1 was NOK 428 million (NOK 511 million). The result in Fine Chemicals increased, while BioSolutions and BioMaterials had lower results compared with the 1st quarter of 2025.

Within BioSolutions’ specialities, lower sales volume was partly compensated by higher sales prices. The lower sales volume was due to a temporary delay in the value chain, driven by geopolitical factors, broader uncertainty, and customer destocking. For BioMaterials, higher deliveries of speciality cellulose were offset by lower sales prices and a weaker product mix. In Fine Chemicals, higher deliveries and a favourable product mix within fine chemical intermediates were the main reasons for the improved result. Net currency effects were insignificant for the Group.

Profit before tax was NOK 230 million (NOK 319 million). Earnings per share were NOK 1.82 (NOK 2.52).

“While BioSolutions was impacted by a temporary delay in the value chain, demand for speciality cellulose increased and Fine Chemicals delivered a strong performance. Overall results were affected by continued cost pressure, partly driven by geopolitical developments. We are implementing targeted measures to address the cost”, says CEO Tom Erik Foss-Jacobsen.
