Outlook

Demand for Ahlstrom-Munksjö’s fiber-based products is expected to remain stable at the current good level
for most of the product segments and to reflect the seasonal pattern. Selling price increases will continue to
be implemented to mitigate cost inflation in raw materials.
The cash flow effect of current capital expenditure of fixed assets as well as strategic investments is
expected to be higher than in 2017 (EUR 89.7 million). The strategic growth and profitability enhancement
investments include the previously announced projects at Arches, Madisonville and Saint Severin sites.
Comparable EBITDA in 2018 is expected to be approximately at the previous year’s level (pro forma EUR
290.4 million), or slightly below. In the first-half of 2018, comparable EBITDA is expected to be lower than in
the comparison period and to gain momentum in the second half of the year.

  • 18. Outlook 18 Demand for Ahlstrom-Munksjö’s fiber-based products is expected to remain stable at the current good level for most of the product segments and to reflect the seasonal pattern. Selling price increases will continue to be implemented to mitigate cost inflation in raw materials. The cash flow effect of current capital expenditure of fixed assets as well as strategic investments is expected to be higher than in 2017 (EUR 89.7 million). The strategic growth and profitability enhancement investments include the previously announced projects at Arches, Madisonville and Saint Severin sites. Comparable EBITDA in 2018 is expected to be approximately at the previous year’s level (pro forma EUR 290.4 million), or slightly below. In the first-half of 2018, comparable EBITDA is expected to be lower than in the comparison period and to gain momentum in the second half of the year. Market Outlook EBITDA Capital Expenditure
