Overview
Financial overview
Equity research
Aspo has EBITA improvement potential also this year as Telko and lower group costs contribute, but a lot depends on ESL.
Aspo’s EUR 8.9m Q4 comparable EBITA landed clearly below our EUR 12.1m estimate due to ESL especially, where demand still wasn’t great while there were also customer plant outages and challenging weather.
Aspo reports Q4 results on Feb 16. ESL should see more significant earnings gains from now on as outlook has at least stabilized, while Telko’s EBITA could gain by another EUR 2m.
Aspo’s Q3 results were in the end neutral; both ESL and Telko can improve more next year, when they are also to be split.
Aspo’s EUR 9.6m comparable EBITA was roughly in line with estimates, although ESL’s result stayed weak while Telko delivered another relatively strong quarter. ESL’s still weak comparable EBITA was offset by the strength of Telko and Leipurin, and Aspo retains its guidance according to which FY’25 comparable EBITA will be in the range of EUR 35-45m; in our view the higher end of the range might be hard to reach unless ESL improves very significantly in Q4’25.
Aspo reports Q3 results on Nov 3. In our view the midpoint of FY’25 comparable EBITA guidance remains relevant, however much still depends on ESL’s H2 performance.
ESL’s Q2 earnings were softer than we estimated, while its H2 outlook also appears slightly more cautious now, yet Telko showed continued positive profitability development after integrating last year’s string of acquisitions.
Aspo’s EUR 9.2m comparable EBITA fell some EUR 1m short of the estimates; in our view this was due to ESL as Telko and Leipurin delivered EBITA in line or slightly higher than estimates. Aspo retains its FY’25 guidance, however comments regarding ESL’s H2 outlook seem a bit cautious.
Aspo reports Q2 results on Aug 18. Telko and Leipurin are on a steady track to improve more after last year, while ESL has such low H2 comparison figures that at least some further EBITA recovery should be seen already this year.
Aspo’s Q1 comparable EBITA improved by almost EUR 4m y/y mostly due to own actions. Earnings may not improve at quite such a rapid pace over the summer months but nevertheless continue to trend up towards next year.
Aspo’s Q1 EUR 8.8m comparable EBITA comfortably beat the estimates, while the company retains its previous guidance for now as demand is generally picking up from low levels.
Aspo reports Q1 results on May 12. The trade war and its consequent uncertainty doesn’t help ESL or Telko, however both should still see some earnings gains this year especially due to their recent investments but also because of already low comparison figures.
Aspo’s Q4 figures weren’t yet great, even if they improved a bit y/y, as ESL particularly had to endure some more demand softness. EBITA has however already bottomed out.
Aspo’s Q4 earnings came in a bit soft relative to estimates, but the midpoint of FY’25 comparable EBITA guidance indicates the results could improve by more than EUR 10m this year.
Aspo downgraded guidance as ESL’s demand hasn’t picked up as fast as might have been expected earlier this year. Q4 EBITA will gain some, but expectations rest on next year.
Aspo’s Q3 EUR 8.7m comparable EBITA didn’t quite reach estimates, but in our opinion there remain many drivers for Q4’24 as well as FY’25 EBITA gains.
Aspo’s Q3 earnings didn’t quite reach estimates as ESL’s EBITA remained low while Telko’s EUR 4.6m EBITA clearly topped expectations. Aspo’s EUR 8.7m Q3 comparable EBITA thus improved, but not as fast as was estimated. Aspo retains its guidance.
Aspo’s results have seen ups and downs in recent years, but the stabilized environment and recent investments should now drive major earnings gains after a still soft H1’24.
Aspo’s Q2 earnings were basically in line with estimates. H1 already showed some encouraging trends, and EBITA has room to improve over the course of H2 as well as next year.
Aspo’s Q2 results were mostly as expected as ESL’s profitability topped estimates while Telko fell somewhat short. The EUR 7.4m comparable EBITA thus came in close to estimates.

Guidance for 2026
Aspo Group’s comparable EBITA from continuing operations is expected to increase compared with the previous year (EUR 29.4 million in 2025).
Aspo Group’s comparable EBITA from continuing operations excludes Leipurin, which is reported as a discontinued operation. The divestment of Leipurin was announced on August 15, 2025, and it is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2026.
Assumptions behind the guidance
Economic growth is expected to slowly revive throughout the year in our core markets, however, the markets are expected to continue challenging in the early part of the year. Geopolitical uncertainty and global trade tensions are also expected to have a negative impact on economic growth and global trade going forward. Aspo’s profit improvement for 2026 is expected to come mainly from various profit improvement actions in ESL Shipping and Telko, fleet renewal and improved fleet utilization in ESL Shipping, continued synergy capture from Telko’s acquisitions, and a reduction of Aspo-level costs while the implementation of Aspo’s strategic transformation continues. Possible costs related to the execution of Aspo’s strategic transformation are excluded from Aspo’s comparable EBITA.
For ESL Shipping, demand is expected to slightly improve for 2026, with spot market pricing also gradually improving from the current low levels. High level of dockings is expected to negatively impact the second quarter of the year.
For Telko, overall stable market development is expected going forward. Telko is expected to continue to grow via acquisitions in 2026. Possible acquisition-related expenses are excluded from the comparable EBITA.

The calculation principles of key figures are included in Aspo’s Board of Directors’ 2024 report. The figures presented in this financial statements release have been individually rounded or calculated based on exact figures, so the figures may not add up to rounded totals.
Rolf Jansson, CEO of Aspo Group, comments on the fourth quarter of 2025:
When reviewing the full year 2025, Aspo grew its comparable EBITA, Group total to EUR 36.5 (29.1) million. This profitability improvement of more than 25% was achieved in a challenging market during 2025. This shows that the actions taken, both strategic and operational improvements, are yielding results. In 2025, the earnings per share (EPS) Group total increased to EUR 0.72 (0.14) both because of the profitability improvement and due to a successful divestment of M/S Kallio to the Norwegian The Qrill Company AS in October 2025. The entire personnel of Aspo deserves recognition for this great achievement -thank you for a successful 2025!
In the fourth quarter, Aspo’s net sales Group total remained at last year’s level due to the challenging market conditions. Aspo’s comparable EBITA Group total grew and was EUR 8.9 million, compared with EUR 8.0 million in the corresponding period in the previous year.
ESL Shipping’s comparable EBITA declined to EUR 3.8 (4.3) million. ESL Shipping’s profitability was negatively impacted, especially in the Coaster vessel segment, by the continued weak spot market and softer than expected forest industry demand. These drivers are unchanged from the previous quarter, but further actions have been taken to improve profitability, including fleet renewal and actions for improving capacity utilization.
Telko improved its comparable EBITA to EUR 4.4 (3.9) million due to higher sales margin, driven by a higher share of specialty products. Volumes were in decline, driven by modest demand particularly in Europe. Developing the supply chain and transforming poorly performing businesses contributed to the improved financial performance.
On August 15, 2025, Aspo signed an agreement to divest its Leipurin business to Lantmännen at an enterprise value of EUR 63 million. We expect the divestment of Leipurin to be completed during the first quarter of 2026, as obtaining the regulatory approvals has progressed according to plan.
Leipurin’s positive profitability development trend continued, and the comparable EBITA of discontinued operations was EUR 2.0 (1.1) million. Profitability improvement was boosted by EUR 0.6 million, as no depreciation was recognized, but in a like-for-like comparison, Leipurin’s profitability also improved by approximately EUR 0.3 million.
The International Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved Aspo’s near-term emissions reduction targets in October 2025. This entails a reduction of the businesses’ own emissions through fleet investments and switching to renewable fuels. Furthermore, we aim to reduce emissions outside our own operations in cooperation with suppliers and partners.
In November 2025, we communicated that our main strategic alternatives are either to divest ESL Shipping or implement a partial demerger of Aspo. Our aim is to find the best solution for ESL Shipping and Telko in terms of value creation and businesses development. In 2026 we will focus on executing this transformation of Aspo. As communicated recently, I will also take on the role of Managing Director of Telko, and with the team, we will evaluate the integration of Telko’s and Aspo’s operations. We will continue to strengthen Telko and ESL Shipping as stand-alone companies offering attractive investment cases, with clear growth strategies and continued efforts for profitability improvement.
ASPO GROUP
Financial performance and targets
Aspo’s long-term financial targets at Group total level are:
- Minimum increase in net sales: 5–10% a year
- Comparable EBITA of 8%
- Return on equity: more than 20%
- Net debt to comparable EBITDA, rolling 12 months ratio below 3.0
At a business level, ESL Shipping’s long-term comparable EBITA target is 14%, Telko’s 8% and Leipurin’s 5%. Leipurin is reported as a discontinued operation.
In January–December 2025, Aspo’s net sales Group total grew by 4.0% to EUR 616.3 (592.6) million. The comparable EBITA Group total rate stood at 5.9% (4.9%). Comparable return on equity Group total was 12.1% (9.2%) and the net debt to comparable EBITDA Group total, rolling 12 months ratio was 3.6 (3.2).
The Board of Directors’ dividend proposal
According to Aspo's dividend policy, Aspo’s dividend growth is based on positive profitability development with the aim to pay-out annually up to 50% of net profit as dividend. The ambition is to gradually increase the amount of dividends, while considering the financing needs of growth initiatives with strategic priority.
The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting of Aspo Plc to be held on April 17, 2026, that EUR 0.25 per share be distributed in dividends for the 2025 financial year, and that no dividend be paid for shares held by Aspo Plc. The proposed dividend represents 49% of Aspo’s comparable earnings per share for 2025. It is proposed that the dividend be paid in one instalment.
It is proposed that the dividend of EUR 0.25 per share be paid to shareholders registered on the record date of April 21, 2026, in the company’s register of shareholders maintained by Euroclear Finland Oy. The Board proposes that the payment date for the dividend will be April 28, 2026.
On December 31, 2025, the distributable funds of the parent company were EUR 50,425,376.24, with the profit for the financial year totaling EUR 16,086,605.41. There are a total of 31,292,617 shares entitled to dividends on the publication date of this financial statement release. As a result, the proposed dividend would total EUR 7.8 million.
No material changes have taken place in respect of Aspo’s financial position since the balance sheet date. In the opinion of the Board of Directors, the proposed distribution of profits does not risk the solvency of the company.

Aspo Plc Stock exchange release 23 January, 2026 at 9.30 EET
Change in Aspo’s Group Executive Team
Aspo announced in November 2025 that it will continue to evaluate the strategic alternatives for the company, with the main alternatives including a possible partial demerger of Aspo or a divestment of ESL Shipping. Aspo’s Executive Team changes as it has been agreed with Mikko Pasanen that he will leave his position as the Managing Director of Telko.
The CEO of Aspo Rolf Jansson has been appointed as Managing Director of Telko as of 23 January, 2026.
“With the lead of Mikko Pasanen, Telko has grown in western markets both organically as well as via acquisitions. I want to thank Mikko for his significant contribution and wish him all the best with his future endeavors. Looking ahead, we will continue to focus on serving our key partners, further developing Telko’s investment story and financial performance and evaluating the integration of Telko’s and Aspo’s operations. Telko has excellent prerequisites to develop into an independent and growth-driven listed company,” says Rolf Jansson, CEO of Aspo.
The change has no impact on Aspo’s financial reporting.

Aspo Plc Stock exchange release 3 November 2025 at 9.15 EET
Aspo to start repurchasing own shares for its share-based incentive plans
The Board of Directors of Aspo Plc has decided to start repurchasing the company’s own shares on the basis of the authorization given by the 2025 Annual General Meeting. The maximum number of shares to be repurchased in one or more instalments is 130,000 shares, corresponding to approximately 0.42 percent of the total number of shares. A maximum of 1,000,000 euros can be used for the repurchases. The shares will be repurchased through public trading on Nasdaq Helsinki at the market price prevailing at the time of repurchase, using the unrestricted equity of the company.
The share repurchases will commence on 4 November 2025 at the earliest and end on 30 April 2026 at the latest. The repurchased shares are to be used for pay-outs under the share-based incentive plans of Aspo Plc.
The share buybacks are executed in compliance with Article 5 of the Market Abuse Regulation No 596/2014 and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052. Aspo Plc has appointed a third-party broker to execute the share repurchases. The broker will make trading decisions independently, without influence from Aspo Plc.
The total number of shares in Aspo Plc is 31,419,779. At the moment, Aspo Plc holds 2,268 own shares.
The Board of Directors is authorized to decide on the acquisition of no more than 500,000 treasury shares. The authorization, given by the Annual General Meeting held on 25 April 2025, is valid until the Annual General Meeting in 2026 but not more than 18 months from the approval at the General Meeting.

Aspo Plc Inside information 3 November 2025 at 9.05 am EET
Inside information: Aspo provides update on its strategic progress: alternatives include partial demerger or divestment of ESL Shipping
The Board of Directors of Aspo has decided to continue the implementation of Aspo’s strategy by evaluating the strategic alternatives for the company’s businesses, ESL Shipping and Telko. The main strategic alternatives to be reviewed include a possible partial demerger of Aspo or a divestment of ESL Shipping.
”Our goal is to implement the divestment of ESL Shipping or the partial demerger of Aspo by the end of 2026, considering market conditions. Finding the best solution for ESL Shipping and for Telko, in terms of value creation and the development of the businesses, is essential for us. Both companies have ambitious plans for growth. We will now evaluate whether these growth plans could be more efficiently promoted in separate companies. With the change, we want to maximize shareholder value,” says Rolf Jansson, CEO of Aspo.
In all strategic alternatives, Aspo’s goal is to ensure good possibilities for Telko to continue acquisitions and growth. Telko has already successfully completed significant acquisitions and strengthened its market position in Western Europe and in value-creating products and services. After the Leipurin divestment, as announced earlier, Telko is well-positioned to continue acquisitions. ESL Shipping has made significant investments to modernize its fleet, including investments in electric hybrid vessels (Coasters) and in handy-sized vessels, allowing fossil-free operations. For ESL Shipping, Aspo continues to have two strong alternatives: partial demerger of Aspo or divesting the business.
Webcast 3.11.2025 and additional information
Aspo’s management will present the topic in the news conference today, 3 November 2025 at 12.00 p.m., in conjunction with the Q3 2025 results presentation. The event can be viewed live at https://aspo.events.inderes.com/q3-2025 and participants can also send questions to the management. Recording of the event will be available on the company’s website.
Aspo will provide additional information during the process. In the event that the Board opts to recommend the partial demerger to separate ESL Shipping from the Aspo Plc, the proposal would be subject to approval from the Annual General Meeting of Aspo Plc.
ESL Shipping is the leading dry bulk cargo company in the Baltic Sea region. In 2024, the net sales of ESL Shipping was EUR 206.2 million and comparable EBITA EUR 16.9 million.

- Free cash flow was EUR 0.3 (-17.4) million
Figures from the corresponding period in 2024 are presented in brackets.
Guidance for 2025
Aspo Group’s comparable EBITA is expected to be EUR 35–45 million in 2025 (EUR 29.1 million in 2024).
Aspo Group’s comparable EBITA, Group total expectation includes the comparable EBITA of the whole Group, including Leipurin, which is reported as a discontinued operation. The divestment of Leipurin was announced on August 15, 2025.
Assumptions behind the guidance
Aspo’s operating environment is expected to remain challenging during 2025. Continued geopolitical uncertainty and global trade tensions are expected to have a negative impact on economic growth and global trade. Increased defense and infrastructure spending in Europe may support economic recovery. Aspo’s profit improvement for the year is expected to come mainly from the profit generation of the Green Coaster vessels, from Telko’s and Leipurin’s acquisitions completed in 2024, as well as from various intensified profit improvement actions throughout Aspo’s businesses. The higher end of the estimated comparable EBITA range may be realized if all the planned profit improvement measures are successful, and there would be an immediate economic recovery. The lower end of the range may be realized if the economic recovery is further delayed, or significant volumes would be lost or margins impacted negatively due to some unforeseen negative events. Continued trade tensions may have an indirect negative impact on the volumes and price levels of Aspo’s businesses. Direct impacts are expected to be modest.
For ESL Shipping, demand is expected to continue weak for 2025, with fairly low contractual volumes combined with low spot market pricing. Seasonally volumes are expected to improve for the fourth quarter.
For Telko, overall stable market development is expected going forward. After successfully completing three acquisitions in 2024, the focus in 2025 is on integrating the acquired companies and securing organic growth and positive profitability development. Acquisition-related expenses are expected to be at a clearly lower level in 2025 than in 2024.
For Leipurin, the market is expected to be stable. There continues to be opportunities for growth in the food industry, where the addressable market for Leipurin is multiple compared to the bakery sector. Leipurin remains in a good position to continue improving its profitability.

Rolf Jansson, CEO of Aspo Group, comments on the third quarter of 2025:
In the third quarter of 2025, Aspo’s net sales Group total was on last year’s level due to the challenging market conditions affecting both ESL Shipping and Telko. Aspo’s comparable EBITA Group total improved and was EUR 9.6 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to EUR 8.7 million in the corresponding period in the previous year. The comparable EBITA Group total rate increased to 6.6% (5.9%). As stated before, Aspo’s agenda for year 2025 focuses on profitability improvement, and it is clear that the ongoing profitability improvement programs in all our businesses are delivering results. In addition, we take advantage of the acquisitions completed by Telko and Leipurin, as well as the investments of ESL Shipping which are gradually over time reflected on the company’s profitability.
The international Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved Aspo's emission reduction targets in October 2025. ESL Shipping is the first dry bulk cargo shipping operator to receive approval for its SBTi targets.
ESL Shipping’s comparable EBITA slightly declined to EUR 3.5 (3.8) million. ESL Shipping’s profitability was negatively impacted, especially in the Coaster vessel segment, by the continued weak spot market and softer than expected forest industry demand. Profitability remained solid for the new generation Handy and Coaster vessels, which are expected to support future profitability generation of ESL Shipping. The off-hire days were high due to planned dockings and an engine fire accident onboard M/S Tali in August, impacting profitability negatively. On the coaster segment, the vessel capacity was reduced by redelivering two loss-making time-chartered Coaster vessels to their owners.
Telko’s comparable EBITA of EUR 4.8 (4.6) million developed favourably in the third quarter due to absence of acquisition-related expenses and higher sales margin, driven by a higher share of value-added products. Profitability improved, despite modest demand in most European markets, and uncertainty in the global economy.
Leipurin’s strong financial performance continued and the comparable EBITA of discontinued operations was EUR 1.9 (1.3) million. Profitability improvement was boosted by EUR 0.4 million as no depreciation or amortization were recognized in August and September 2025, due to the classification of Leipurin as a discontinued operation as a consequence of the announced divestment plan. In a like-for-like comparison, Leipurin’s profitability improved approximately by EUR 0.2 million, due to strong organic growth particularly in Sweden. Overall market development was stable.
During the first three quarters of year 2025, Aspo achieved net sales growth of 5.9% and the comparable EBITA Group total was EUR 27.5 million compared to EUR 21.1 million in the corresponding period previous year. The EBITA Group total rate increased to 6.0% (4.9%). All businesses improved their profitability with very limited support from the market, showing that company’s profitability improvement actions have been successful.
We remain committed to our-longer term financial ambition and vision of creating two separate companies out of Aspo, i.e. Aspo Infra and Aspo Compounder. This is an integral part of Aspo’s aim to create value to its shareholders.
During the third quarter of 2025, on August 15, 2025, Aspo announced the divestment of Leipurin to Lantmännen at an enterprise value of EUR 63 million. Preparations for receiving regulatory approvals for this transaction have proceeded as planned and the closing is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2026. Alongside the already completed acquisitions of Telko and the new generation vessel investments of ESL Shipping, the divestment on Leipurin represents a major step towards reaching Aspo’s strategic vision. The divestment of Leipurin is estimated to generate a sales gain of approximately EUR 16 million which will strengthen the balance sheet of Aspo. The proceeds from the transaction will primarily be used to finance further acquisitions of Telko, supporting the company’s compounding strategy.
Aspo’s net debt to comparable EBITDA ratio has increased to 3.9 (2.8) because of repayment of the hybrid bond as well as Green Coster investments. The leverage should decline over the next quarters due to expected strong operating cash flow, low investment activity, and the announced sale of Leipurin.
I want to express strong gratitude to the entire personnel of Aspo for successful strategy execution and profitability improvement so far in year 2025!

Aspo Plc Press Release 16 October 2025 at 9.00 am EEST
Aspo has set science-based emission reduction targets – now approved by SBTi
International Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has approved Aspo's near-term emission reduction targets. The targets are in line with the latest climate science to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees. Aspo's climate targets cover ESL Shipping and Telko.
Aspo commits to decrease its direct greenhouse gas emissions (scope 1 and 2) with 42% by 2030. This will be achieved through fleet investments and by switching to renewable fuels. However, the majority of Aspo's total emissions are generated elsewhere in the supply chain. Scope 3 emissions will be reduced in cooperation with suppliers and partners. In addition, Aspo will discontinue the distribution of fossil fuels for energy production, including energy coal, by 2030 at the latest.
"We want to be pioneers in climate work in our industries and support our customers in making sustainable choices. Lately, we have invested heavily in new, energy-efficient vessels, which significantly reduce our carbon footprint and promote the green transition of industry in the Nordics. We also require our own suppliers to actively commit to emission reduction targets," says Taru Uotila, Senior Vice President, Legal and Sustainability, Aspo.
Aspo's SBTi verified near-term targets
Aspo is committed to:
- reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 42.0% by 2030 from a 2023 base year,*
- engage 50.0% of its suppliers by emissions covering purchased goods and services to have science-based targets by 2029 (scope 3) and
- reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from use of sold products for distributed fossil fuels 100% by 2030 from a 2023 base year.
* The target boundary includes land-related emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks.
Science Based Targets initiative
Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a corporate climate action organization that provides a global framework to help companies set their greenhouse gas emissions reduction commitments in light of the latest scientific data. With the help of SBTi, companies can ensure that their climate actions support the global goals of Paris Agreement to prevent irreversible climate change.
SBTi has also approved the near and long-term targets for ESL Shipping. Read more on ESL Shipping’s website >>

Aspo Plc Press release 10 October 2025 at 10.00 EEST
ESL Shipping is renewing its fleet – sells M/S Kallio to a Norwegian company
ESL Shipping sells M/S Kallio to The Qrill Company AS. Divesting M/S Kallio, taken into use in 2006, helps to speed up the green transition of ESL Shipping and strengthens the financing of the new vessels currently under construction.
The sales price of M/S Kallio is about EUR 18 million. The sales gain for Aspo is expected to be approximately EUR 10 million.
”We are investing heavily in Green Handy vessels, which can be operated fossil-free and have an ice class of 1A. Development of the Green Handies has progressed according to our plan. By divesting M/S Kallio, we strengthen the balance sheet of ESL Shipping and implement our strategy,” says Rolf Jansson, CEO of Aspo.
”Ensuring sufficient capacity and reliable customer deliveries are our priorities in all circumstances. The first new generation Green Handy vessel will join our fleet in about two years. During the transition period, we will consider chartering or acquiring additional vessels, when needed,” says Mikki Koskinen, Managing Director of ESL Shipping.
M/S Kallio has sailed under the Finnish flag. After the divestment, the aim is to assign the vessel crew to ESL Shipping’s other vessels whenever possible. M/S Kallio has now been handed over to the new owner, operating in marine feed ingredients business.
ESL Shipping, part of Aspo, is the leading dry bulk sea transport company operating in the Baltic Sea area, securing product and raw material transportation for industries and energy production throughout the year. ESL Shipping supports the green transition of Nordic industrial companies. In 2024, ESL Shipping achieved the best Platinum rating in Ecovadis sustainability assessment.

Aspo Plc Press release 1 October 2025 at 12.00 EEST
Rottneros extends partnership with AtoB@C Shipping – new vessel nearly halves CO2 emissions of sea transport to and from Vallvik, Sweden
Rottneros, expert producer of pulp and molded fiber from sustainable forests, continues its partnership with AtoB@C Shipping, part of ESL Shipping, with a long-term contract. AtoB@C Shipping will employ a new plug-in hybrid vessel for the Rottneros traffic, enabling up to 50% CO2 reduction per ton-mile compared to the current vessel operating on the same routes.
“We have been working side by side with AtoB@C Shipping for more than a decade and are happy to continue our partnership. AtoB@C Shipping is developing one of their vessels to fit our specific needs and, for this reason, we want to commit to a long-term contract. Together, we can also concretely show the way to more sustainable sea infrastructure,” says Magnus Malmborg, Supply Chain Manager at Rottneros AB.
As a part of the contract, AtoB@C Shipping will retrofit one of its new plug-in hybrid vessels with a crane. A self-loading and discharging vessel is a perfect option for Rottneros’ port in Vallvik and necessary for their port in Norway, where shore crane capacity is limited. A self-loading vessel also allows quicker loading in Baltic ports, from where the raw material is mainly delivered.
“We are very pleased to continue serving Rottneros and ensuring steady, safe and more sustainable deliveries in the future. As highlighted in this case, our new energy-efficient vessels can bring significant benefits to our customers, including higher capacity and emission reduction. We have had the same team working for Rottneros for a long time, and they are also excited to continue ensuring timely and efficient deliveries”, says Frida Rowland, Commercial Director of AtoB@C Shipping.

Upon completion, the transaction is estimated to generate a sales gain of approximately EUR 16 million. The closing of the transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and it is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2026
January–June 2025
- Net sales increased to EUR 314.0 (286.2) million
- Comparable EBITA grew to EUR 18.0 (12.4) million, 5.7% (4.3%) of net sales. The comparable EBITA of ESL Shipping was EUR 9.1 (8.8) million, Telko EUR 8.7 (4.2) million, and Leipurin EUR 3.1 (2.5) million

- Free cash flow was EUR 8.8 (22.9) million driven by investments
Figures from the corresponding period in 2024 are presented in brackets.
Guidance for 2025
Aspo Group’s comparable EBITA is expected to be EUR 35 - 45 million in 2025 (EUR 29.1 million in 2024).
Aspo Group’s comparable EBITA expectation includes the comparable EBITA of the whole Group, including Leipurin business. The divestment of Leipurin was announced on August 15, 2025.
Assumptions behind the guidance
Aspo’s operating environment is expected to remain challenging during the second half of the year. Continued geopolitical uncertainty and global trade tensions are expected to have a negative impact on economic growth and global trade. Increased defense and infrastructure spending in Europe may support the economic recovery towards the end of the year. Aspo’s profit improvement for the year is expected to come mainly from the profit generation of the Green Coaster vessels, from Telko’s and Leipurin’s acquisitions completed in 2024, as well as from various intensified profit improvement actions throughout Aspo’s businesses. The higher end of the estimated comparable EBITA range may be realized if all the planned profit improvement measures are successful, and there will be a clear economic recovery during the second half of the year. The lower end of the range may be realized if the economic recovery is further delayed, or significant volumes would be lost or margins impacted negatively due to some unforeseen negative events. Continued trade tensions may have an indirect negative impact on the volumes and price levels of Aspo’s businesses. Direct impacts are expected to be modest.
For ESL Shipping, demand is expected to continue weak during the second half of the year, with fairly low contractual volumes combined with low spot market pricing. Volumes are expected to be soft during the third quarter of 2025 and slowly revive towards the end of the year.
For Telko, overall stable market development is expected going forward. After successfully completing three acquisitions in 2024, the focus in 2025 is on integrating the acquired companies and securing organic growth and positive profitability development. Acquisition-related expenses are expected to be at a clearly lower level in 2025 than in 2024.
For Leipurin, the market is expected to be stable. There continues to be opportunities for growth in the food industry, where the addressable market for Leipurin is multiple compared to the bakery sector. Leipurin remains in a good position to continue improving its profitability.

The calculation principles of key figures are included in Aspo’s Board of Directors’ report for the year 2024. The figures presented in this half-year financial report have been individually rounded or calculated based on exact figures so the figures may not add to rounded totals and may differ from previously published figures.
Rolf Jansson, CEO of Aspo Group, comments on the second quarter of 2025:
Profitability improvement is at the top of Aspo’s agenda for the year 2025, taking benefit of the completed acquisitions and capex investments made during previous years. Currently, we do not build our plans on a significant positive impact from a recovery of the economy during the second half of the year 2025. Market uncertainty has increased, shortening customer planning horizons and slowing down industrial activity. With this in mind, we place even further emphasis on executing a wide range of actions to improve profitability across all Aspo’s businesses.
Despite the challenging market, Aspo continued to grow and improve its profitability during the second quarter of 2025. Aspo’s net sales grew by 6.0% compared to the second quarter of 2024 and the comparable EBITA was EUR 9.2 million compared to EUR 7.4 million in the corresponding period in the previous year. I am proud of Aspo team for generating continued profit growth despite the current market circumstances.
ESL Shipping’s comparable EBITA was EUR 5.0 (6.1) million. ESL Shipping’s profitability was negatively impacted by the continued very weak spot market and softer than expected forest industry demand. On the positive side, steel industry activity remained at a healthy level and the project cargo market offered new freight opportunities. ESL Shipping has six new electric hybrid Green Coaster vessels in operation, and the fleet renewal has already considerably improved energy efficiency and competitiveness.
Telko’s comparable EBITA of EUR 4.3 (1.8) million more than doubled primarily due to the contribution of acquisitions completed in 2024, as well as the absence of M&A costs. Telko has improved its product and service mix leading to growth in sales margin. In July 2025, Telko achieved a Gold Medal in the Ecovadis sustainability rating.
Leipurin’s comparable EBITA was was record-high at EUR 1.7 (1.3) million. Leipurin’s profitability improvement relates specifically to Sweden, including the acquisition made in 2024, organic growth and measures to improve supply chain efficiency.
When summing up the first half of year 2025, Aspo achieved net sales growth of 9.7% and the comparable EBITA was EUR 18.0 million compared to EUR 12.4 million in the corresponding period previous year. All businesses improved their profitability with very limited support from the market, showing that company actions have been successful.
After the review period, on August 15, 2025, Aspo announced the divestment of Leipurin to Lantmännen. This transaction is estimated to generate a sales gain of approximately EUR 16 million which will strengthen the balance sheet of Aspo and support the compounder strategy of Telko. This is a major step in executing Aspo’s vision and the transaction is a result of a very successful transformation of Leipurin during the past couple of years. Instrumental in this transformation were an increased focus on food ingredients, a complete shift from “East to West”, major organic and non-organic growth investments, and company-wide profit improvement efforts. The closing of the transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and it is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2026.
Our short-term focus lies on profitability improvement, benefitting from the Green Coaster investments made, the acquisitions completed during 2024, and the vast array of profitability improvement efforts ongoing across the Group. In the longer term, we continue to make progress in reaching the financial ambition of Aspo as well as our vision, creating two separate companies out of Aspo, namely Aspo Infra (ESL Shipping) and Aspo Compounder (Telko). The divestment of Leipurin is a major step in executing this vision along with Telko's already completed M&A activities and ESL Shipping's significant investments in best-in-class vessels.
Financial performance and targets
Aspo’s long-term financial targets are:
- Minimum increase in net sales: 5–10% a year
- Comparable EBITA of 8%
- Return on equity: more than 20%
- Net debt to comparable EBITDA, rolling 12 months ratio below 3.0
At a business level, ESL Shipping’s long-term comparable EBITA target is 14%, Telko’s 8% and Leipurin’s 5%.
In January–June 2025, Aspo’s net sales grew by 9.7% to EUR 314.0 (286.2) million. The comparable EBITA rate stood at 5.7% (4.3%). Comparable return on equity was 14.3% (8.0%) and the net debt to comparable EBITDA, rolling 12 months ratio was 3.7 (2.0).

Inside information: Aspo to divest its Leipurin business to Lantmännen
Aspo has today signed an agreement to divest its Leipurin business to Lantmännen at an enterprise value of EUR 63 million. The estimated cash consideration payable at closing is approximately EUR 60 million.
The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals. The transaction is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2026.
On Capital Markets Day 14 May 2024, Aspo published its portfolio vision: to form two separate companies, Aspo Compounder (Telko and Leipurin) and Aspo Infra (ESL Shipping), in the coming years. Aspo also communicated that divestment of the businesses is one of the strategic alternatives to be evaluated to maximize shareholder value. The divestment of Leipurin significantly strengthens Aspo’s balance sheet and enables future growth investments for the Telko business. The divestment of Leipurin is a major step in executing the communicated vision, along with Telko's already completed M&A activities and ESL Shipping's significant investments in best-in-class vessels.
”The divestment of the Leipurin business is the best way to implement Aspo’s strategy and value creation. During the past years, Leipurin has sold its equipment-related businesses, exited its businesses in the east and completed three acquisitions in western markets. We have also clearly improved the performance of Leipurin in recent years and supported the success of our customers. I am very proud of the transformation achieved at Leipurin and the work done by the personnel. As part of Lantmännen, Leipurin will continue to have an excellent framework for systematic and customer-driven growth and development,” says Rolf Jansson, CEO of Aspo Plc.
“The acquisition of Leipurin is part of Lantmännen's strategy to broaden and strengthen the value chain in food ingredients. Together with our existing operations and the new plant-based protein facility currently under construction, we see strong opportunities for growth in both existing and new markets. With Leipurin, we gain valuable expertise in developing innovative products in close collaboration with customers,” says Magnus Kagevik, President and CEO of Lantmännen.
In 2024, Leipurin’s net sales totaled EUR 133.1 million (2023: EUR 136.1 million), comparable EBITA was EUR 4.9 million (2023: EUR 4.5 million) and invested capital EUR 49.7 million (2023: EUR 46.0 million). Leipurin offers food ingredients and expert services in the bakery, food industry and food service markets in Finland, Sweden and the Baltic countries. Leipurin has approximately 160 employees. According to Lantmännen, Leipurin will operate as a separate business within Lantmännen's Energy Division, which currently includes food ingredients operations, such as plant-based proteins and oat-based ingredients.
The sale of the Leipurin business will be implemented as a sale of shares, and it will cover all the companies in the Leipurin segment. Aspo will report the Leipurin business as discontinued operations starting from the third quarter of 2025.
Upon completion, Aspo will record a sales gain of approximately EUR 16 million, which has an impact on Aspo’s reported result. The transaction does not have an impact on Aspo’s guidance for 2025: Aspo Group’s comparable EBITA is expected to be EUR 35–45 million in 2025. Aspo Group’s comparable EBITA expectation includes the comparable EBITA of the whole Group, including Leipurin business.
Lantmännen is an agricultural cooperative and Northern Europe’s leader in agriculture, machinery, bioenergy and food products. Lantmännen is owned by 17,000 Swedish farmers and it has 12,000 employees and operations in over 20 countries. The annual turnover of Lantmännen is SEK 70 billion.

Aspo Plc Interim Report May 12, 2025 at 9:00 am
Aspo Plc’s Interim Report, January 1 – March 31, 2025: Strong start for year 2025 with continued profitability improvement
This is a summary of the Interim Report January 1 – March 31, 2025 of Aspo Plc. The complete report is attached to this release and available at aspo.com.
Figures from the corresponding period in 2024 are presented in brackets.
January–March 2025
- Net sales increased to EUR 151.2 (132.7) million
- Comparable EBITA grew to EUR 8.8 (5.1) million, 5.8% (3.8%) of net sales. The comparable EBITA of ESL Shipping was EUR 4.1 (2.7) million, Telko EUR 4.4 (2.3) million, and Leipurin EUR 1.5 (1.2) million
- EBITA was EUR 7.7 (-2.9) million. EBITA of ESL Shipping was EUR 3.0 (-5.0) million, Telko EUR 4.4 (2.3) million, and Leipurin EUR 1.5 (1.2) million
- Comparable ROE was 10.6% (4.9%)
- Comparable earnings per share were EUR 0.13 (0.09)
- Free cash flow was EUR -4.4 (-3.5) million driven by investments
- ESL Shipping and SSAB agreed in March 2025 on a multi-year extension of a significant sea transport agreement
Guidance for 2025
Aspo Group’s comparable EBITA is expected to be EUR 35 - 45 million in 2025 (EUR 29.1 million in 2024).
Assumptions behind the guidance
Aspo’s operating environment is estimated to remain challenging during the first half of the year and to gradually improve during the second half of the year. Increased defense and infra spending in Europe is expected to support the economic recovery towards the end of the year. However, recent trade tensions and high tariffs imposed or planned by the USA, EU and China have increased economic uncertainty and may negatively impact economic growth and global trade. Aspo’s profit improvement for the year is expected to come mainly from the profit generation of the Green Coaster vessels, from Telko’s and Leipurin’s acquisitions completed in 2024, as well as from various intensified profit improvement actions throughout Aspo’s businesses. The higher end of the expected comparable EBITA range is expected to be achieved if all the planned profit improvement measures are successful, and there is a clear economic recovery during the second half of the year. The lower end of the range may be realized if the economic recovery is further delayed, or significant volumes would be lost or margins impacted negatively due to some unforeseen negative events. Recent trade tensions, including possible tariffs, may have an indirect negative impact on the volumes and price levels of Aspo’s businesses. Direct impacts are expected to be modest.
For ESL Shipping, demand is expected to be weak overall during the first half of the year, with fairly low contractual volumes combined with low spot market pricing. Volumes are expected to slowly revive during the second half of the year.
For Telko, overall stable market development is expected going forward, with demand slowly picking up. After successfully completing three acquisitions in 2024, the focus in 2025 is on integrating the acquired companies, and securing organic growth and positive profitability development. Acquisition-related expenses are expected to be at a much lower level in 2025 than in 2024.

The calculation principles of key figures are included in Aspo’s Board of Directors’ report for the year 2024. The figures presented in this interim report have been individually rounded or calculated based on exact figures so the figures may not add to rounded totals and may differ from previously published figures.
Rolf Jansson, CEO of Aspo Group, comments on the first quarter of 2025:
Profitability improvement is at the top of Aspo’s agenda in 2025. We aim to capture the benefits of the completed acquisitions and capex investments made during previous years. In addition, we will focus on organic growth and performance improvement actions, tightly managed across all our businesses.
Aspo continued to grow and improve its profitability during the first quarter of 2025. Aspo’s net sales grew by 13.9% compared to the first quarter of 2024 which was primarily driven by the acquisitions Telko and Leipurin made in 2024. Both Telko and Leipurin also achieved organic sales growth during the quarter. Net sales of ESL Shipping declined due to a relatively low level of industrial activity.
Comparable EBITA was EUR 8.8 million compared to EUR 5.1 million in the corresponding period in the previous year. All businesses improved their profitability. It is positive to see that the intensified focus on profitability improvement is widely yielding results.
Despite weak spot market pricing and somewhat softer than expected contractual freight volume demand, ESL Shipping was able to improve its comparable EBITA to EUR 4.1 (2.7) million, driven by performance improvement efforts, including the expiration of expensive time-charter agreements. The profitability of ESL Shipping in the corresponding period in the previous year was weakened due to harsh ice conditions and political strikes.
Telko’s comparable EBITA of EUR 4.4 (2.3) million grew due to the contribution from last year’s completed acquisitions, continued organic growth, and the absence of M&A costs. Leipurin’s comparable EBITA was EUR 1.5 (1.2) million. Leipurin’s profitability improvement relates specifically to the acquisition in Sweden in 2024 and measures improving supply chain efficiency in the Swedish operations.
ESL Shipping and SSAB agreed in March 2025 on a multi-year extension of the agreement covering SSAB’s inbound raw material sea transports within the Baltic Sea and from the North Sea. In addition, the agreement covers the transport of SSAB’s fossil-free sponge iron produced with HYBRIT technology including the possibility of fossil-free shipments. The transport volume is estimated to be 6–7 million tonnes annually. This was an important milestone in ESL Shipping’s strategy to support Nordic industrials in their green transition.
Leipurin completed the transaction to take over the food ingredients distribution business of Kartagena UAB in February 2025. The acquired business is expected to increase Leipurin’s net sales by close to EUR 2 million on an annual basis.
We are working to achieve Aspo’s financial ambition of reaching EUR 1 billion of net sales and EBITA of 8% in 2028. The total investment program of EUR 300–350 million for 2024–2028 is well underway, focusing on acquisitions of Telko and Leipurin, and investments in the new capacity of ESL Shipping. Aspo’s vision is to form two separate companies, Aspo Compounder (Telko and Leipurin) and Aspo Infra (ESL Shipping), before Aspo turns 100 years old in 2029.
During 2025, our focus is on profitability improvement. We will benefit from the Green Coaster investments made in 2021–2024, the acquisitions completed during 2024, and the vast array of profitability improvement efforts across the Group. Despite the focus on short-term profitability improvement, we continue to have a parallel long-term strategic perspective to reach the financial ambition of Aspo as well as our portfolio vision.
Financial performance and targets
Aspo’s long-term financial targets are:
- Minimum increase in net sales: 5–10% a year
- Comparable EBITA of 8%
- Return on equity: more than 20%
- Net debt to comparable EBITDA, rolling 12 months ratio below 3.0
At a business level, ESL Shipping’s long-term comparable EBITA target is 14%, Telko’s 8% and Leipurin’s 5%.
In January–March 2025, Aspo’s net sales grew by 13.9% to EUR 151.2 (132.7) million. The comparable EBITA rate stood at 5.8% (3.8%). Comparable return on equity was 10.6% (4.9%) and the net debt to comparable EBITDA, rolling 12 months ratio was 3.3 (2.3).

In addition, the right to participate in the Annual General Meeting requires that the shareholder, on the basis of such shares, has been temporarily registered into the shareholders’ register held by Euroclear Finland Oy at the latest by April 22, 2025, by 10.00 a.m. For nominee registered shares, this constitutes due registration for the Annual General Meeting.
A holder of nominee registered shares is advised to request well in advance the necessary instructions regarding the temporary registration in the Company’s shareholders’ register, the issuing of proxy documents and voting instructions, registration for the Annual General Meeting and advance voting from his/her custodian bank. The account manager of the custodian bank shall register a holder of nominee registered shares, who wants to participate in the Annual General Meeting, temporarily into the Company’s shareholders’ register at the latest by the time stated above and, if necessary, take care of advance voting on behalf of the nominee-registered shareholder prior to the expiry of the registration period for nominee-registered shareholders. Further information is also available on the Company's website at www.aspo.com/shareholdersmeeting.
3. Proxy representative and powers of attorney
A shareholder may participate in the General Meeting and exercise their rights at the meeting by way of proxy representation. A proxy representative may also choose to vote in advance as described in this invitation. If the proxy representative registers electronically, the proxy representative must verify their identity in the electronic registration service with strong electronic identification, after which they can register on behalf of the shareholder they represent. The same applies to electronic advance voting.
If a shareholder participates in the Annual General Meeting by means of several proxy representatives representing the shareholder with shares in different securities accounts, the shares by which each proxy representative represents the shareholder shall be identified in connection with the registration for the Annual General Meeting.
The shareholder's proxy representative must present a dated power of attorney or otherwise provide reliable evidence that they are entitled to represent the shareholder at the General Meeting. A template proxy is available on the Company's website at www.aspo.com/shareholdersmeeting.
Any proxies are requested to be submitted primarily as an attachment in connection with the electronic registration or alternatively by mail to Innovatics Oy, Yhtiökokous / Aspo Plc, Ratamestarinkatu 13 A, FI-00520 Helsinki, Finland or by email to agm@innovatics.fi before the end of the registration period. In addition to submitting the proxies, the shareholder or their proxy representative must ensure that they have registered for the General Meeting as described above in this invitation.
As an alternative to a traditional proxy, shareholders can use the electronic Suomi.fi proxy service to authorize a proxy representative. The proxy representative is named in the Suomi.fi service at www.suomi.fi/e-authorizations (authorization matter “Representation at the general meeting”). In the general meeting service, the proxy representative must verify their identity with strong electronic authentication when registering, after which the electronic authorization is automatically checked. Strong electronic authentication is done with bank ID or mobile certificate. More information about electronic authorization is available at www.suomi.fi/e-authorizations.

The advance voting form is available on the Company’s website. A possible legal representative or authorized proxy representative of a shareholder must in connection with delivering the voting form provide a dated proxy or otherwise in a reliable manner demonstrate their right to represent the shareholder at the Annual General Meeting.
Advance votes must be received before the end of the advance voting period. Submitting advance votes in this manner before the end of the registration and advance voting period is considered due registration for the General Meeting, if it contains the information required for registration mentioned in section C.1 above.
It is not possible for shareholders having voted in advance to use the right to request information, the right to request a vote or to vote on a possible counterproposal as stipulated in the Finnish Companies Act unless the shareholder participates in the Annual General Meeting at the meeting venue in person or by way of proxy representation.
With respect to nominee registered shareholders, the advance voting takes place through their account manager. The account manager may vote in advance on behalf of the nominee registered shareholders represented by it in accordance with the provided voting instructions during the registration period for the nominee registered shares.
The agenda items subject to advance voting are deemed to have been presented unchanged at the general meeting. The terms related to the electronic advance voting and other instructions regarding the advance voting are available on the Company’s website at www.aspo.com/shareholdersmeeting.
