Swedish media Dagens Industri today published an article stating that Stora Enso made a decision to postpone weekly supplier payment runs in the last weeks of June and September of 2024 by one week in order to improve the Company’s cash flow. Stora Enso can confirm that such decisions have been made with the intent to optimise its cash flow.
The decision has been proactively shared internally with full transparency to relevant internal stakeholders, including employees from relevant finance and sourcing teams.
Suppliers have been informed on a case-by-case basis about the one-week payment delay, and the related invoices have been paid.
The financial effects of the one-week delayed payments are not material in relation to Stora Enso’s total cash flow and liquidity. Stora Enso will publish its Q3 interim report for 2024 on 24 October.
