Due to Holmen's decision to consolidate the group's paperboard and paper operations into a new and joint business area, Board and Paper is a new reporting segment from 1 January 2024.

The decision is part of the continued strategic development of Holmen's business based on four well-defined business lines, i.e. forestry, hydro and wind power, woodworking industry and process industry operations. The new reporting segment replaces the previous segments Paperboard and Paper respectively. Financial reporting for other segments is not affected by the change.

Below follows financial reporting for Holmen's segments, pro forma, recalculated for the periods indicated. For more information and a longer history, please refer to "Holmen in figues" at holmen.com.
