Valmet unveils new financial reporting structure and operating model
The new operating model and reporting structure will be effective from 1 July 2025.
The revised structure will see Valmet reporting under two main segments, Biomaterial Solutions and Services and Process Performance Solutions.
The biomaterial segment will offer technology solutions and services for the life cycle of customers in the pulp, paper, and energy industries.
It is divided into three business areas: Pulp, Energy and Circularity; Packaging and Paper; and Tissue. These business areas will focus on integrating technology deliveries with life cycle services to enhance customer proximity and value creation.
Process Performance Solutions, meanwhile, will provide flow control technologies and automation solutions, serving a wide range of customer industries globally.
This segment includes the Flow Control business area and the Automation Solutions business area.
For each business area, Valmet will disclose orders received, net sales, and personnel numbers. The company will also continue to provide financial data for five geographical areas: North America, Central America, EMEA, China, and Asia-Pacific.
The new reporting structure aligns with Valmet management's approach to monitoring operational performance.
Financial information will be restated to reflect the new structure in the January-September 2025 Interim Review, with unaudited data for 2024 and the first quarter of 2025 provided for comparison.
In the first quarter of 2025, both segments received total orders worth €1.3bn ($1.5bn) and recorded net sales of €1.18bn.
Valmet has also outlined its 2030 financial targets, aiming for a 5% organic net sales growth over the cycle, a comparable earnings before interest, taxes, and amortisation margin (EBITDA) of 15%, a comparable return on capital employed before taxes of 20%, and maintaining gearing below 50%.
The company has set strategic missions for each segment.
The Biomaterial Solutions and Services segment aims to advance circularity, with a focus on life cycle services, innovation towards circularity, and product cost competitiveness. It targets doubling organic growth in biomaterial services to 8% and reaching a 14% comparable EBITA margin by 2030.
The Process Performance Solutions segment's mission is to unlock resource efficiency, with priorities such as leading life cycle value, customer-focused innovation, and growth in high-quality technologies.
By 2030, this segment aims to accelerate organic growth to over double the market rate and achieve a 20% comparable EBITA margin.
Valmet reiterates its 2025 guidance, estimating that net sales and comparable EBITA will remain at the previous year's levels of €5.35bn and €609m, respectively.
Earlier this week, Valmet secured a furnace upgrade and a long-term service agreement from Eren Holding for Shotton Mill in the UK.

Additionally, the Company expects non-GAAP operating costs and expenses to be between $98 million and $94 million. These expectations also assume a tax rate of 20% and a diluted share count of 108.5 million, and exclude stock-based compensation expense of $15 million and amortization of acquired intangible assets of $2 million. Conference Call The Company's management will discuss the results of the quarter during a conference call scheduled for 2:00 p.m. PT today. The call will be audio and slides will be available online at and a replay will be available for the next week at the following numbers: (866) 813-9403 (domestic) or (+1) 929-458-6194 (international) with ID# 136025. Non-GAAP Financial Information In the commentary set forth above and in the financial statements included in this earnings release, the Company presents the cost of product revenue and operating expenses as non-GAAP financial measures. In computing each of these non-GAAP financial measures, the following items were considered as discussed below: stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related costs and retention bonus expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, impairment of assets, change in fair value of earn-out liability, and certain other one-time adjustments. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated. Management believes the non-GAAP financial measures are appropriate for both its own assessment of, and to show investors, how the Company's performance compares to other periods. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. A reconciliation from GAAP to non-GAAP results is included in the financial statements contained in this release. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following items: Stock-based compensation expense. These expenses primarily relate to employee stock purchase plans, and employee non-vested equity stock and non-vested stock units. The Company excludes stock-based compensation expense from its non-GAAP measures primarily because such expenses are non-cash expenses that the Company does not believe are reflective of ongoing operating results. Additionally, given the fact that other companies may grant different amounts and types of equity awards and may use different option valuation assumptions, excluding stock-based compensation expense permits more accurate comparisons of the Company's results with peer companies. Acquisition-related costs and retention bonus expense. These expenses include all direct costs of certain acquisitions and the current periods' portion of any retention bonus expense associated with the acquisitions. The Company excludes these expenses in order to provide better comparability between periods as they are related to acquisitions and have no direct correlation to the Company's operations. Amortization of acquired intangible assets. The Company incurs expenses for the amortization of intangible assets acquired in acquisitions. The Company excludes these items because these expenses are not reflective of ongoing operating results in the period incurred. These amounts arise from the Company's prior acquisitions and have no direct correlation to the operation of the Company's core business. Impairment of assets. These charges primarily consist of non-cash charges to property and equipment assets, which are excluded because such charges are non-recurring and do not reduce the Company's liquidity. Change in fair value of earn-out liability. This change is due to adjustments to acquisition purchase consideration. The Company excludes these adjustments because such adjustments are not directly related to ongoing business results and do not reflect expected future operating expenses. Income tax adjustments. For purposes of internal forecasting, planning and analyzing future periods that assume net income from operations, the Company estimates a fixed, long-term projected tax rate of approximately 20 percent and 22 percent for 2025 and 2024, respectively, which consists of estimated U.S. federal and state tax rates, and excludes tax rates associated with certain items such as withholding tax, tax credits, deferred tax asset valuation allowance and the release of any deferred tax asset valuation allowance. Accordingly, the Company has applied these tax rates to its non-GAAP financial results for all periods in the relevant years to assist the Company's planning. On occasion in the future, there may be other items, such as significant gains or losses from contingencies, that the Company may exclude in deriving its non-GAAP financial measures if it believes that doing so is consistent with the goal of providing useful information to investors and management.
