Rottneros is lowering the book value of fixed assets at its Rottneros mill, citing continued weakness in the market for chemi-thermomechanical pulp (CTMP).
The impairment charge amounts to SEK140m and will be reflected in the group’s second-quarter results, scheduled for release on 12 August 2025, Rottneros announced.
According to the company, the market conditions do not allow the mill to operate at full capacity. To reduce the impact on earnings, Rottneros is also cutting staff at the mill, as previously announced.
These changes are expected to lower the Rottneros' annual costs by SEK35-40m, with full savings expected in autumn 2025.
