Outokumpu reported a loss of €25 million in underlying EBIT for Q2 2015, driven by weak performance in its Coil Americas business area. EMEA continued its positive trend, with underlying EBIT of €56 million. Imports to Europe declined further, while imports to the US increased, particularly from China. The company is taking actions to improve Coil Americas, such as strengthening the sales team and focusing on operational efficiency. However, market conditions remain challenging with high inventories and uncertainty around nickel prices and scrap costs.
