Fixed Cost Reduction Target: Reduce annual fixed costs by EUR100 million by the end of 2025. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 8 Warning Sign with FOJCF. Release Date: August 15, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points Fortum Oyj (FOJCF) maintained a strong financial position with a financial net debt of EUR1.3 billion, even after a significant dividend payment of EUR1.3 billion. The company successfully acquired Orange Energia, doubling its retail customer base in Poland and expanding its Consumer Solutions business. Fortum Oyj (FOJCF) is progressing well with its efficiency improvement program, targeting a EUR100 million reduction in annual fixed costs by the end of 2025. The acquisition of a 4.4 gigawatt wind power project development portfolio in Finland strengthens Fortum's renewable energy pipeline, aiming for at least 800 megawatts of ready-to-build projects. The Consumer Solutions segment achieved a record high second quarter result, driven by improved gas margins and cost synergies from brand mergers. Negative Points Fortum Oyj (FOJCF) experienced record low generation volumes in Q2 due to low hydro inflow and unavailabilities in the nuclear fleet, impacting overall performance. The company's comparable operating profit and EPS decreased significantly, reflecting lower generation volumes and power prices. Hydro and nuclear volumes are expected to remain below normal levels for the full year 2025, with nuclear output estimated to be 2.9 terawatt hours lower. The market environment remains uncertain due to geopolitical conflicts and US tariff plans, posing challenges to major industrial investments in the Nordics. Spot prices in the Nordic market were lower than expected despite low generation volumes, influenced by high hydro reservoir levels and wind generation. Q & A Highlights Q: Can you clarify the expected full-year volumes for hydro and nuclear, considering the current lower outputs? A: Markus Rauramo, CEO, explained that nuclear volumes are expected to be about 2.9 terawatt hours lower than the usual 26 terawatt hours, resulting in approximately 23 terawatt hours for the year. For hydro, while it's difficult to forecast, the expectation is that volumes will be below the normal range of 20 to 20.5 terawatt hours due to current conditions. Q: What is the status of Fortum's legal claims in Russia, and could there be any changes following the Alaska summit? A: Markus Rauramo, CEO, stated that there are no major updates on the legal front. Fortum is proceeding with arbitration against the Russian Federation and a legal process regarding unpaid loans. They are hopeful for some relaxation in currency controls to facilitate financial recovery and potential business exit. Q: Could you provide insights on the data center tax in Finland and its potential impact on growth? A: Markus Rauramo, CEO, noted that the tax proposal is under government review. While any uncertainty is not positive, the tax is a minor detail compared to the overall investment in data centers, which focuses more on site availability, grid infrastructure, and clean energy. Q: Why was the onshore wind EBIT negative in Q2, and what is the support mechanism for this? A: Tiina Tuomela, CFO, explained that the negative EBIT was due to low spot prices impacting the non-hedged portion of the wind farm's output. The Pjelax wind farm is mostly hedged with PPAs, but the unhedged part faced lower prices due to high wind conditions. Q: How do you view the potential for grid investment to meet future power demand in Finland? A: Markus Rauramo, CEO, stated that grid investment is crucial but not seen as a bottleneck. Fortum is developing sites with existing grid access to meet customer needs, ensuring that grid availability aligns with demand growth projections.

Air Canada-CUPE Negotiations End in Impasse
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Negotiations between CUPE and Air Canada have ended in impasse. Air Canada still refuses to compensate flight attendants for all hours worked. The union has been firm: all safety-related duties should be paid at full hourly rate. Air Canada does not agree. On wages, Air Canada's last offer will still leave flight attendants living below poverty levels for many years to come. We are heartbroken for our passengers. We do not want to go on strike, and we do not want to be locked out, but it is clear that Air Canada has no incentive to bargain. Rather, Air Canada has refused to bargain in good faith due to the likelihood of the federal government using Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to interfere in negotiations and have a contract imposed by an outside third-party arbitrator.
