Suominen is a manufacturing company. The company manufactures and develops a wide range of wipes, hygiene products and medical applications. The manufacturing is based on non-woven fabrics that can be used for various purposes. Customers are found in several industries, with the largest operations in Europe and North America. The company has its headquarters in Helsinki.

Suominen’s CEO Charles Héaulmé was interviewed by Rauli regarding the Q2 results    Topics: 00:00 Introduction  00:12 Key highlights of Q2  02:16 Demand situation  05:39 Sales mix  07:33 Raw material costs and price increases  08:50 Future innovations as growth drivers  12:13 Guidance  14:45 Delay in the ramp-up of the Alicante plant

Boom! Suominen beat forecasts for the first time in about five years. The level is admittedly still weak, but at least the adj. operating profit rose above zero. The guidance for increasing adj. EBITDA for the full year remains unchanged, and this result gives confidence in its realization (our forecast was quite close before Q2).     Forecast Table  Q2’25 Q2’26 Q2’26e Q2’26e Difference (%) 2026e     MEUR / EUR  Comparison Actual Inderes Consensus Act. vs. Inderes Inderes   Net sales  99.8 106 113 107 -7 % 423   EBITDA (adj.)  2.9 4.3 3.0 3.0 46 % 12.7   EBITDA  2.3 2.3 1.0 - 142 % 5.2   Operating profit (adj.)  -1.3 0.2 -1.2 -1.5 116 % -4.5   EPS (reported)  -0.07 -0.03 -0.04 -0.05 33 % -0.13             Net sales growth %  -15.9 % 5.8 % 13.2 % 7.2 % -7.4 %-units 2.7 %   Operating profit % (adj.)  -1.3 % 0.2 % -1.1 % -1.4 % 1.3 %-units -1.1 %   Source: Inderes & Vara Research, 3 analysts (consensus)

Thanks for asking.  After a quick look into the industry and its companies, it feels like there are quite a lot of challenges in general, and there don’t seem to be any clear, major growth drivers visible for the sector as a whole. The questions below might be silly and unnecessary, so there’s no need to ask them, but they just came to mind.  1. How is the long-term demand/growth of the market developing, and what are Suominen’s strengths relative to its competitors? 2. Does Suominen currently have any new product, material, or technological development projects, etc., underway that could bring new growth or, for example, otherwise open up various new opportunities in the near future?

CEO Charles will be interviewed again on Friday following the Q2 results. If you have any questions that have come to mind, please send them over and I will try to include them…

Here are Rauli’s preview comments ahead of Suominen’s Q2 report release on Friday, August 7th.   We expect revenue to have turned to clear growth due to the recovery in volumes. However, we estimate that the earnings level will remain at the level of the comparison period, burdened by rising raw material and energy costs. The company recently completed its oversubscribed share issue, which will ease the balance sheet situation, but the progress of the operational turnaround remains under our magnifying glass. We expect the company to reiterate its full-year guidance, although we see a clear downward risk in it.                    Inderes – 5 Aug 26              Suominen Q2'26 -ennakko: Liikevaihto kasvuun kustannuspaineiden jatkuessa -...    Ennustamme liikevaihdon loikanneen 113 MEUR:oon, mutta nousevat kulut pitäneen tuloksen heikkona.

Suominen’s stock has risen quite a bit since the share issue. How do you view the company’s current valuation? The earnings, however, are not predicted to turn profitable just yet.

Yeah, you’re unlikely to get anything without subscription rights. In practice, rights issues where you actually receive shares without holding subscription rights are almost always the kind of offerings you wouldn’t want to be involved in anyway

Suominen Q2 comparable EBITDA of EUR 4.3m came 45% above Vara Research consensus expectations. Net sales of EUR 106m were up 6% y/y and came 1% below consensus. FX had EUR 1.3m negative impact on sales. EBITDA improvement was mainly related to higher volumes and fixed cost reductions while mix and net pricing had negative impact. Q2 operating cash flow of EUR -4.5m was up from EUR -10.1m a year ago but slightly below our expectation due to higher net working capital. The company reiterated its guidance for improving comparable EBITDA in 2026 from EUR 12.6m in 2025 while consensus is at EUR 13.4m. Initially, we expect consensus to raise its 2026 estimates to the tune of 10-20% with slightly more muted revisions for 2027.
