"EVENTFUL LAST QUARTER OF 2022
During the quarter, the high pulp prices continued and a strong USD affected our margins while production and deliveries were restrained by lower volumes mainly in Rottneros Mill, as the groundwood line was shut down according to schedule during December. Production in Vallvik was hampered by certain minor unplanned stoppages. The comparison to last year was also somewhat negatively affected by the timing of the maintenance shutdown, which now took place entirely during Q4. CTMP-production continued to develop well as a result of our continuous and structured measures to increase availability. It increased 5 percent during the quarter and 6 percent during the whole year, despite recurring production constraints related to high electricity costs."
