Valmet unveils new financial reporting structure and operating model
Finnish company Valmet has revised its financial reporting structure to better reflect its new strategy and operating model. The new operating model and reporting structure will be effective from 1 July 2025. The revised structure will see Valmet reporting under two main segments, Biomaterial Solutions and Services and Process Performance Solutions. The biomaterial segment will offer technology solutions and services for the life cycle of customers in the pulp, paper, and energy industries. It is divided into three business areas: Pulp, Energy and Circularity; Packaging and Paper; and Tissue. These business areas will focus on integrating technology deliveries with life cycle services to enhance customer proximity and value creation. Process Performance Solutions, meanwhile, will provide flow control technologies and automation solutions, serving a wide range of customer industries globally. This segment includes the Flow Control business area and the Automation Solutions business area. For each business area, Valmet will disclose orders received, net sales, and personnel numbers. The company will also continue to provide financial data for five geographical areas: North America, Central America, EMEA, China, and Asia-Pacific. The new reporting structure aligns with Valmet management's approach to monitoring operational performance. Financial information will be restated to reflect the new structure in the January-September 2025 Interim Review, with unaudited data for 2024 and the first quarter of 2025 provided for comparison. In the first quarter of 2025, both segments received total orders worth €1.3bn ($1.5bn) and recorded net sales of €1.18bn. Valmet has also outlined its 2030 financial targets, aiming for a 5% organic net sales growth over the cycle, a comparable earnings before interest, taxes, and amortisation margin (EBITDA) of 15%, a comparable return on capital employed before taxes of 20%, and maintaining gearing below 50%. The company has set strategic missions for each segment. The Biomaterial Solutions and Services segment aims to advance circularity, with a focus on life cycle services, innovation towards circularity, and product cost competitiveness. It targets doubling organic growth in biomaterial services to 8% and reaching a 14% comparable EBITA margin by 2030. The Process Performance Solutions segment's mission is to unlock resource efficiency, with priorities such as leading life cycle value, customer-focused innovation, and growth in high-quality technologies. By 2030, this segment aims to accelerate organic growth to over double the market rate and achieve a 20% comparable EBITA margin. Valmet reiterates its 2025 guidance, estimating that net sales and comparable EBITA will remain at the previous year's levels of €5.35bn and €609m, respectively. Earlier this week, Valmet secured a furnace upgrade and a long-term service agreement from Eren Holding for Shotton Mill in the UK.

Valmet secures Shotton Mill furnace upgrade contract in UK
Finnish company Valmet has secured a furnace upgrade and a long-term service agreement from Eren Holding for Shotton Mill in the UK. The upgrade is scheduled for completion by the end of 2025. The order, which was included in Valmet's first-quarter orders received this year, has not had its value disclosed. This strategic move aims to enhance the mill's operations and extend the life of its bubbling fluidised bed (BFB) boiler furnace. The majority of the mill's BFB boiler furnace will be fitted with coated panels designed to protect against corrosion and erosion, prolonging the furnace's lifespan. In addition to the physical upgrade, Valmet will provide Shotton Mill with comprehensive support through a long-term service agreement, which includes site inspection services. The service agreement also includes a customised online training package for Shotton Mill's employees. Shotton Mill energy manager Mehmet Arel said: 'We are delighted to continue strengthening our partnership with Valmet as they deliver this vital furnace upgrade and long-term service agreement to Shotton Mill.' Valmet EMEA service manager Nigel Earp said: 'We are very pleased to be awarded the furnace upgrade and are looking forward to safely and successfully delivering the project for Shotton Mill. 'The service agreement will further strengthen our cooperation with the customer, enabling us to develop the mill's operations together over the coming years.' Shotton Mill is currently implementing a substantial investment programme, which includes the installation of a new containerboard production line and a tissue production line, both provided by Valmet. Once these lines are operational, the mill will possess the capability to produce 750,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of containerboard and 67,000tpa of tissue paper. In February 2025, Valmet secured a contract to supply its automation and quality management solutions to Shandong Jintianhe Paper in China.
