OUTLOOK Q2/2026: MARKET CONDITIONS REMAIN CHALLENGING, WITH LOW CONSUMER CONFIDENCE AND HEIGHTENED GEOPOLITICAL VOLATILITY

OUTLOOK FOR Q2: RAMP-UP OF NEW PRODUCTION LINE IN OULU CONTINUES

OUTLOOK FOR Q2: IN Q2, WE EXPECT NEGATIVE IMPACT ON ADJUSTED EBIT TO CONTINUE AT A SIMILAR LEVEL AS IN Q1/2026

Q1 OF 2026 DEVELOPED LARGELY AS EXPECTED, WITH STABLE PERFORMANCE IN A MARKET THAT REMAINS CHALLENGING

DEMAND IN OUR MAIN END MARKETS STAYED AT RELATIVELY LOW LEVELS, AND PRICING PRESSURE PERSISTED IN SOME BUSINESS SEGMENTS, WHILE PRICES FIRMED UP AND INCREASED IN OTHERS
