Transition into a Light Packaging company
Sustainable products for our customers


Also, in the third quarter the macroeconomic parameters were difficult. Germany being the largest European economy stays in a recession. It is unlikely that this situation will change in the 4th quarter 2025.
Demand for our products was relatively low and prices were under pressure. Our business remains very challenging, especially in envelopes. We are fighting to keep our order and sales level. The envelope market continues to shrink due to digitalization. Our YTD margins in 2025 remained at the level of 2024.
Raw material prices were stable and suppliers, especially paper mills, have sufficient capacity. Energy prices are still at a comparatively high level.
Our combined currency adjusted sales of Light Packaging were +10,5% YTD vs. 2024. This is quite positive when looking at the above-mentioned economic market challenges, but it is below our strategic goals in the transition plan. Also at YTD +10,5% growth our e-Commerce related Light Packaging products like e-Green®, AirPro® and AirPro Green® performed in line with overall growth. The best performing products was Paper Carrier Bags with +27,2% YTD driven mainly by new High-End products. Therefore, I remain optimistic about these products.
According to FEPE statistics the European envelope market was shrinking -8% in Q3 2025 vs. Q3 2024.
It is expected this trend to continue in Q4, so that the overall market will be down 8-10% in 2025 for Envelopes. Reasons are the economic climate and digitalization trend. Bong's own envelope sales are in line with market. For Bong, being one of the top two European players, envelopes remain an important factor in its business. The downward trend of envelopes will continue in the next years, and we are adapting our capacity and fixed costs and partially switching factory space and employees to Light Packaging.
The Group's currency-adjusted sales decreased by 3,4% compared with YTD Q3 2024 mainly because of lower prices related to lower paper prices but also to the market decline in the envelope market. Bong's gross margin has slightly decreased compared to Q3 2024. Operating profit decreased to SEK 3 million (30) mainly related to lower sales and therefore a lower gross profit.
The operating profit in during 2025 was not affected by restructuring costs and machine sales had a positive impact on the operating profit of SEK 4 million (4).
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 52 million (40). Adjusted net debt / adjusted EBITDA according to Bong's Bond loan amounts to 1.64 (1.23).
"A positive aspect remains our growth within Light Packaging, which increased + 10,5% YTD extremely tough also in the 3rd quarter with cost cutting and reduced demand in envelopes", says Bong's CEO Kai Steigleder.

Bong remains on its road of transition to become a Light Packaging company with a 50% share in these products. We will shrink and adapt our envelope production capacity to cut overall fixed costs and remain competitive. Finally, I am thanking all our loyal and hard-working employees that will make our transformation process in Bong happen as well as our stakeholders and shareholders for their continuous support.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.
