M/S Kallio was sold to The Qrill Company AS in October 2025. The sale price was approximately EUR 18 million and the gain on sale was EUR 9.6 million. The gain on sale is not included in the comparable EBITA.   The international Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved Aspo’s near-term emission reduction targets in October 2025.    Guidance for 2026 Aspo Group’s comparable EBITA from continuing operations is expected to increase compared to the previous year (EUR 29.4 million in 2025). Aspo Group’s comparable EBITA from continuing operations does not include the Leipurin business, which is reported as a discontinued operation. The sale of Leipurin was announced on August 15, 2025, and it is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2026.  The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting to be held on April 17, 2026, that a dividend of EUR 0.25 per share be distributed for the financial year 2025 and that no dividend be paid for the treasury shares held by Aspo Plc. The proposed dividend is 49% of Aspo’s comparable earnings per share in 2025. The dividend is proposed to be paid in a single installment. The dividend, EUR 0.25 per share, is proposed to be paid to shareholders who are registered in the company’s shareholder register maintained by Euroclear Finland Ltd on the record date of April 21, 2026. The Board proposes that the dividend payment date be April 28, 2026.

Kassu’s pre-comments as Aspo reports its Q4 results on Monday, Feb 16.  * We expect Aspo’s Q4 result to have grown from the comparison period. Although industrial volumes remaining sluggish continue to hinder a clearer recovery, Aspo’s result in our forecasts is supported especially by ESL Shipping’s improved cost efficiency. However, ahead of the earnings day, we slightly lowered our estimate for ESL’s performance for the end of the year, which led to a very modest decrease of about one percent in our 2025 EBITA forecast. In addition to the earnings figures, the guidance for the current year and any potential further information regarding the separation of businesses are of particular interest.

Hmm.. I’m a bit skeptical about this: First of all, PANL’s total fleet DWT is 897,000 tons (slightly over) and ESL’s is 116,000 tons. So, acquiring those ESL ships would bring quite little additional capacity (it seems ESL’s ships might be too small for those plans). Secondly, I don’t know, but I’ve understood that those mines would require massive investments first. Of course, this would also mean freight needs (suitable fleet exists for this), but on what schedule would things start happening? You’d imagine that planning and procurement could take 2-5 years? In that time, you could acquire suitable new fleet relative to the projects’ needs. And I believe those ESL bulkers also have COAs (Contracts of Affreightment) in place, so the vessels are already in demand and releasing them might involve costs. I don’t want to completely dismiss the idea, because it requires assuming too many things. And there are other smaller ice-strengthened MPP or general cargo vessels out there… As for ESL, I think there are other potential buyers. There might be a couple of parties in the Netherlands, for example. And these are operators for whom continuing current operations would be a natural fit. So I don’t think it will go for next to nothing. That PANL case certainly piques curiosity about what it’s all about..

Acquisition interest in ESL might even rise as a result of the orange one’s fixations. Yesterday, I watched shipping and rare earth companies related to Greenland rise by double-digit “hype percentages.” The Greenland deal Trump squeezed out of Europe, its schedule, and terms are unclear, but the probability of seeing significant activity in Greenland in the coming years is quite high, especially due to rare earth metals and the Golden Dome. Several US shipping companies rose yesterday, such as Matson Inc slightly and Pangaea Logistics Solutions (PANL) more significantly; these have operated in the Arctic Ocean under Arctic conditions, and investors are clearly speculating that activity in the area will increase in the future. As a result of this thought experiment, ESL Shipping has become a degree more interesting to me in just a few days, as Aspo’s demerger approaches at the end of the year and the sale of ESL has been on the table. A buyer of ESL would acquire a whole fleet of Ice Class 1A cargo vessels at once. The likely construction of the Golden Dome and potential expanded mining operations in Greenland would offer long-term shipping contracts to US and perhaps also Canadian shipping companies, necessitating a significant and potentially rapid expansion of current Arctic fleets. As climate change melts ice on Arctic routes, such as the Polar Silk Road, acquiring a fleet like ESL’s would be a fast and efficient solution for increasing cargo capacity. If I further speculate irresponsibly about a potential buyer, it could be Pangaea Logistics Solutions, which has operated in Greenland and might, under optimal conditions (e.g., a preliminary agreement with the Trump administration), pay a +20-50% premium compared to a normal dry bulk shipping company (usually 5-12 x EBITA), because this involves a ready fleet suitable for Arctic regions. Thus, the minimum purchase price for ESL could be an average year’s EBITA of €23 million x 10-12, i.e., €230-276 million minus allocated debts (+ perhaps a premium on top if there is competition). It is also possible that a competing shipping company could be interested in the fleet if Denmark/Greenland and the USA reach a swift agreement and Trump’s plan actually begins to progress. The need for vessels operating in Arctic regions will likely rise in the coming years, so ESL probably won’t need to be sold at a discount. A recovering economy and heavily increasing Arctic shipping traffic could raise multiples even further, especially if the cycle takes a strong turn for the better. In an optimal case and what I consider a reasonable scenario, ESL’s purchase price could be 12-15x €25 million EBITA; i.e., EV €300-375 million minus debts. Strategically, ESL may be an extremely attractive acquisition target due to long-term US government contracts, giving the shipper who lands such a contract an incentive to secure sufficient Ice Class 1A fleet on a fast schedule. I have full confidence in Aspo’s management to achieve an optimal solution for the shareholder (the sale of ESL or a demerger). There is also no rush for a deal, as the situation is developing in the right direction. Irresponsible speculation ends.

Aspo’s CEO will also become the CEO of Telko. It sounds like a strategic reorganization is approaching fast.  Aspo announced in November 2025 that it would continue evaluating the company’s strategic options, with the primary options being a potential partial demerger of Aspo or the sale of ESL Shipping. A change is occurring in Aspo’s Group Management Team as a result of an agreement that Mikko Pasanen, CEO of Telko, will leave his position. Aspo’s CEO Rolf Jansson has been appointed CEO of Telko as of January 23, 2026. ”Under Mikko Pasanen’s leadership, Telko has grown in Western markets in recent years, both organically and through acquisitions. I want to thank Mikko for his significant contribution and wish him all the best for the future. In the near future, we will continue to focus particularly on serving our partners, further developing Telko’s investment story and profitability, and evaluating the integration of Telko’s and Aspo’s operations. Telko is excellently positioned to develop into an independent, growth-oriented listed company,” says Rolf Jansson, CEO of Aspo.  Change in Aspo’s Management Team - Inderes

Net sales from continuing operations was in line with our expectation in Q4. Adjusted EBITA from continuing operations came slightly below our forecast in Q4. ESL Shipping segment reported clean EBITA of EUR 3.8m compared to our forecast of EUR 4.8m in Q4. Telko segment reported EUR 0.1m higher adjusted EBITA than we forecasted in Q4. ESL Shipping segment has suffered from weak spot markets and from weak demand from the forest industry. Reported figures included the sales gain of EUR 9.6m. Aspo guides for an improvement in comparable EBITA from continuing operations in 2026 y/y. The Leipurin segment was divested in August 2025 and ESL Shipping could be sold this year. A Telko compounder strategy could then be the main equity story for Aspo in 2027. Execution of the value-creation strategy could be considered successful if ESL Shipping were to be sold at an EV/EBIT of 12x, and the remaining Telko segment were also traded at the same valuation multiples as Swedish compounder companies.
