The Management Board assesses the performance of operating segments based on operating profit and EBITDA as a primary measure. As a secondary measure, the Management Board also reviews net revenue. The Group defines EBITDA as profit before extraordinary other operating costs and net finance costs and tax, depreciation and impairment charges. As extraordinary other business expenses, the Group has treated one-time expenses that have not arisen in the course of normal business activities but have arisen from some extraordinary circumstances. EBITDA is not a performance measure defined in IFRS. The Group`s definition of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled operating profit measures and disclosures by other entities.

Fibreboard production and sales

New customers have been added from countries where there were no sales in the Q3 2024.

The EBITDA of the fibreboard for the Q3 2025 was a positive € 112 thousand, (Q3 2024: negative € 19 thousand). The net loss of the fibreboard for the Q3 2025 was € 48 thousand (Q3 2024: net loss € 262 thousand).
