CEO'S COMMENTS
The comparison of the first quarter of 2014 with the corresponding period previous year was affected by the divestments of Laakirchen and some Georgia-Pacific units and the acquisition of the majority shareholding in the Chinese company Vinda.
The efficiency programs in the hygiene and forest products operations are continuing according to plan.
Consolidated net sales for the first quarter of 2014, excluding divestments, rose 9% compared with the same period a year ago. The increase is related to the acquisition of the majority shareholding in the Chinese company Vinda, higher volumes and higher prices.
In emerging markets, growth, excluding exchange rate effects, remains favorable. The harsh winter in North America had a negative impact on demand and earnings for AfH tissue.
Operating profit, excluding items affecting comparability, exchange rate effects and divestments, rose 18%. The acquisition in China, cost savings, higher volumes and higher prices contributed to earnings growth. Operating profit for Personal Care, excluding items affecting comparability and exchange rate, effects decreased by 6% as a result of higher raw material costs, investments in increased marketing activities and negative transaction exchange rate effects associated with weakened currencies in emerging markets. Operating profit for Tissue, excluding items affecting comparability, exchange rate effects and divestments, rose 14% as a result of the acquisition in China, higher volumes, higher prices, cost savings and lower raw material and energy costs. Operating profit for Forest Products, excluding items affecting comparability and the divestment, rose 140% as a result of higher prices, higher volumes, cost savings and lower energy costs.
Profit before tax excluding items affecting comparability, exchange rate effects and divestments rose 19%.
