The fixed asset impairments in the Packaging Materials division mainly relate to the Business Unit Containerboard and in the Biomaterials division to the Nordic production units. The impairments are mainly a consequence of Stora Enso's predictions of a weaker outlook compared to previous estimates.

As a result of the impairment booking, the annual depreciation will decrease by approximately EUR 40 million going forward. The impairments do not impact Stora Enso's full-year 2023 guidance.
