Strategy

    What does this mean?

    • Grow dissolving wood pulp (DWP) capacity, matching market demand
    • Continue to expand and grow packaging and speciality papers
    • Continue to explore the commercialisation of biomaterials opportunities
    • Optimise graphic paper segments, ensuring we balance supply and demand

    How we performed last year

    • DWP sales volumes were slightly better than FY24, however, pricing was weaker, resulting in lower EBITDA margins
    • Pulp constitutes 29% of group sales volumes (excluding forestry) and contributes 46% of group Adjusted EBITDA
    • Packaging and speciality papers sales volumes increased by 8% year-on-year
    • Packaging and speciality papers constitute 30% of group sales volume (excluding forestry) and contributes 13% of group Adjusted EBITDA
    • Completed the conversion and expansion of Somerset Mill PM2 from graphic papers to paperboard, thereby reducing exposure to graphic papers and increasing growth in packaging grades

    What does this mean?

    • Target net debt at approximately US$1 billion
    • Optimise capital management
    • Maximise return on capital employed (ROCE)
    • Review pricing strategies to secure optimal value creation
    • Sustain dividends at 3x cover

    • Initiated further projects in Europe to reduce costs and/or exposure to graphic papers
    • Concluded our major capital projects during FY25 and initiated a consolidation phase
    • Suspended the payment of a dividend for FY25

    What does this mean?

    • Drive our safety-first culture
    • Continuously improve our cost position
    • Continue to maximise the benefits of our global footprint
    • Best-in-class production efficiencies to secure increased volumes

    How we performed last year

    • Group lost-time injury frequency rate (LTIFR) improved, but we had two unfortunate fatalities at our Saiccor Mill in South Africa
    • Group efficiency, procurement and continuous improvement savings of US$114 million

    How we performed last year

    • Sustained platinum EcoVadis status in our European and North American businesses
    • Performance against our science-based carbon emission intensity reduction target showed an improvement compared to last year, but the target was not reached, mainly due to market-related production curtailments
    • Actively supported local communities through community forums
    • Employee engagement survey conducted in 2025 with 95% participation
    • Sustained our Group Supplier Code of Conduct compliance and EcoVadis supplier assessments
