The complete updated release is as follows:
Stora Enso's segment reporting changed as of 1 January 2023, and the Group has restated the
comparative figures for its segment reporting for 2021 and
2022.
From 1 January onwards, Stora Enso's reporting segments are:
Packaging Materials, Packaging Solutions, Biomaterials, Wood
Products, Forest, and Other.
The Paper division was discontinued as of 1
January 2023 and is not reported as a separate segment going
forward. From 1 January 2023 onwards,
the Maxau and Hylte paper sites are reported in Segment Other until
the completion of the divestments. The divestment of the Maxau site
was completed on 1 March 2023. The
Langerbrugge and Anjala paper sites, which are retained in Stora
Enso, are reported as part of the Packaging Materials division.
From 1 January 2023, the reporting of
emerging businesses, including Formed Fiber, Circular Solutions
(biocomposites), and Selfly Stores, was transferred from the
Packaging Solutions division to Segment Other.
The comparative figures have been restated according to the new
reporting structure and are presented in the tables below under
heading 'Restated'. Comparative figures based on the old reporting
structure are presented under the heading 'As published'.

Return on operating capital (operational ROOC) and return on
capital employed (operational ROCE)
Presenting return measures based on the last 12 months is an
effective way to analyse the most recent financial data on an
annualised basis and is considered more suitable for tracking the
development of long-term targets.
From Q1/2023 onwards, Stora Enso will present the operational
return on capital employed (operational ROCE) based on the last 12
months prior to the end of the reporting period. This is calculated
by dividing the operational EBIT of the last 12 months with the
average capital employed. The average capital employed for the last
12 months is determined as the average of the published capital
employed of the last five quarter-ends.
Similarly, the return on operating capital (operational ROOC) for
the divisions and the return on equity (ROE) for the Group will be
based on the last 12 months prior to the end of the reporting
period.
The presentation of operational ROCE, operational ROOC and ROE
based on quarter or year-to-date figures will be discontinued.
