Essity AB Class B Earnings Call Summary for Q3/2026

  • Q3 sales rose 4.1% to SEK 1.5B aided by FX and acquisition, but organic sales fell 0.3% amid rising costs and weak consumer tissue demand.
  • Gross margin contracted 170 bps as COGS surged SEK 658M YoY driven by raw materials (+SEK 420M) and energy (+SEK 245M) inflation.
  • Cash flow remained robust at SEK 5.8B with net debt at 1.0x EBITDA; shares fell 1.41% to $272.6 on margin pressure concerns.
  • Management expects Q4 COGS to rise further YoY and sequentially, offset by pricing actions and accelerated cost savings from restructuring.
  • Strategic focus on higher-margin categories (incontinence, feminine care) and integrating North American acquisition while reviewing tissue business.
