Aspo Plc: Interim Report Q3 2025 Shows Decreased Net Sales but Increased Profit
Aspo Plc reported increased net sales and improved comparable EBITA for January-September 2025. However, net sales decreased in the third quarter, even as profit saw an improvement.
Helsinki – Aspo Plc's interim report for January-September 2025 indicates progress towards the company's strategic objectives. The Group's total net sales grew to EUR 458.3 million for the first nine months of the year, up from EUR 432.8 million in the corresponding period of the previous year. Concurrently, comparable EBITA increased to EUR 27.5 million, compared to EUR 21.1 million a year prior.
During the third quarter (July-September), the Group's net sales saw a slight decrease to EUR 144.3 million (EUR 146.6 million). Profitability, however, showed positive development, with comparable EBITA rising to EUR 9.6 million from EUR 8.7 million in the previous year. This performance reflects ongoing efforts to enhance profitability within a challenging market environment.
The company continues its strategic realignment. In August 2025, Aspo announced an agreement to divest its Leipurin business to Lantmännen. This sale is expected to generate a gain of approximately EUR 16 million and is anticipated to be completed in the first quarter of 2026. Consequently, Leipurin is reported as a discontinued operation.
In October 2025, ESL Shipping sold the vessel M/S Kallio for approximately EUR 18 million, resulting in a sales gain of about EUR 10 million. Aspo has provided guidance expecting the Group's comparable EBITA for the full year 2025 to be between EUR 35–45 million. The company anticipates that geopolitical uncertainty and trade tensions will continue to create a challenging operating environment.
