Overview
Financial overview
Equity research
Raute’s margins were again higher than we estimated, however orders were still soft relative to our expectations.
Raute achieved an EBITDA margin of 15.8% in Q4’25, which it may not be able to produce again in the short-term as its revenue looks set to decline at least some more in FY’26. The EUR 5.7m comparable EBITDA topped our estimate despite revenue being significantly lower than we estimated, however the EUR 25m order intake was softer than we expected. Raute’s FY’26 revenue and comparable EBITDA are to decline, as expected, although the decline could still be steeper than we previously estimated.
Raute reports Q4 results on Feb 12. Wood Processing has already demonstrated very high margins so that for now focus remains on order intake, which should be improving.
Raute’s Q3 figures were encouraging, and even if FY’26 EBITDA would decline more than we estimate the earnings multiples are still low enough to leave margin for upside.
Raute recently issued another positive profit warning, according to which FY’25 revenue will be slightly lower than previously anticipated while comparable EBITDA will remain high in absolute and especially relative terms. Q3 results were clearly better than we estimated especially in terms of EBITDA margin while the EUR 38m order intake was also a positive surprise. There’s still global uncertainty affecting market demand, but it now seems Raute’s order book development could stabilize soon after being on a declining trend for almost two years.
Raute reports Q3 results on Oct 30. Earnings are likely to peak at least temporarily this year, but multiples also don’t imply big expectations for new orders. A turning point in the order backlog decline trend could yet drive upside soon.
Raute’s margins impress, while extended low orders pose big earnings headwinds, yet multiples remain very undemanding.
Raute’s EUR 43.8m Q2 top line came in clearly below our estimate, yet the EUR 6.5m comparable EBITDA was basically in line with our estimate as Wood Processing continued to deliver very high margins. The very low EUR 12m in new orders was a clear negative as equipment orders were almost completely lacking, yet Wood Processing and Analyzers should see demand recovery towards next year especially in Europe.
Raute reports Q2 results on Aug 12. This year will set another earnings record, while the focus now turns to new orders.
Raute’s FY’25 results are likely to prove so strong that earnings will decline next year, but the low valuation is undemanding enough for further likely upside.

- Authorizing the Board of Directors to resolve on the acquisition of own shares
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorise the Board to resolve on the repurchase of a maximum of 600,000 of Raute Corporation's shares using assets from the company's non-restricted equity, which would lead to a decrease in the company's distributable funds.
The authorisation would entitle the Board to acquire the company's shares to be used for the development of the company's capital structure, as consideration for funding or carrying out any acquisitions or other arrangements, or to be otherwise disposed of or cancelled.
The purchase consideration paid for shares purchased by virtue of the authorisation shall be based on the price of the company's share in public trading such that the minimum price of acquired shares is the lowest market price quoted in public trading during the term of validity of the authorisation and, correspondingly, the maximum price is the highest market price quoted in public trading during the term of validity of the authorisation.
The authorisation includes the right to acquire shares in a directed manner, i.e. not in proportion to the holdings of the shareholders. A directed repurchase of the company's own shares can take place, for example, by acquiring shares in public trading on markets where, according to the regulations, the company is permitted to engage in the trade of its own shares. Repurchasing shares in public trading as mentioned above, or otherwise in a directed manner, requires that the company has a weighty financial reason to do so.
The Board of Directors is authorised to decide on other terms and conditions related to share repurchases.
This authorisation shall replace the authorisation granted by the Annual General Meeting of April 15, 2025, and is effective until the end of the next Annual General Meeting, or at the most for 18 months following the decision of the Annual General Meeting.
- Authorizing the Board of Directors to resolve on a share issue and the issuance of special rights entitling to shares
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorise the Board to resolve on an issue of Raute Corporation's shares and the issuance of special rights entitling to shares referred to in chapter 10, section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act in one or several instalments. The Board of Directors is authorised to resolve on all conditions of the share issue or the issuance of special rights, including the recipients and the sum of possible consideration to be paid.
The Board of Directors may, by virtue of the authorisation, resolve to issue either new shares or treasury shares held by the company. The aggregate maximum number of shares that can be issued is 600,000 shares. Any shares to be issued based on special rights entitling to shares are included in the above-mentioned aggregate number of shares.
The Board of Directors proposes that the authorisation include the right to deviate from the shareholders' pre-emptive rights, provided that the company has a weighty financial reason to do so. A directed share issue may be without payment only if a weighty financial reason exists in terms of the company, while taking into account the interests of all the shareholders. The authorisation can be used, with the restrictions presented above, to fund or carry out acquisitions or other arrangements or for other purposes decided by the Board of Directors.
The authorisation is effective until the end of the next Annual General Meeting, or at the most for 18 months following the resolution of the Annual General Meeting.
- Amendment of the Charter of the Shareholders' Nomination Board
The Shareholders' Nomination Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting an amendment to the Charter of the Nomination Board so that the appointment of the members of the Nomination Board would be brought forward by one month from the current date and would in future be based on the ownership situation on the last business day of July instead of the current August.. The proposal requires amendments to Section 2, paragraph 2, and to sub-sections (a) and (b) of paragraph 3 of the Charter of the Shareholders' Nomination Board.
The Shareholders' Nomination Board's proposal for the amended wording of Section 2, paragraph 2, and sub-sections (a) and (b) of paragraph 3 is presented in full below. The proposed deletions in relation to the current charter are shown with strikethrough, and the additions with underline.
The members of the Nomination Board are appointed by the three (3) largest shareholders, each of whom has the right to appoint one (1) member. The number of shares owned by the shareholders is determined on the basis of the Company's shareholder register maintained by Euroclear Finland Oy in accordance with the situation on the last business day of the July August preceding the Annual General Meeting.
The following principles shall also be applied when determining the shareholders entitled to appoint members to the Nomination Board:
(a) If the shareholders are obligated under the Securities Markets Act to take other parties' holdings in the Company into account when stating changes to their percentage of holdings (the flagging obligation), the holdings of such shareholders and such other parties shall be aggregated, provided that the shareholder submits a written request concerning the matter to the Chair of the Company's Board of Directors no later than on the last business day of July August. A reliable account of the grounds for the flagging obligation must be included with the request.
(b) If a holder of nominee registered shares wishes to exercise its appointment right, such holder must present a written request concerning the matter to the Chair of the Company's Board of Directors no later than on the last business day of July August. A reliable account of how many shares the holder of nominee registered shares owns must be included with the request.
