    Maria Wikstrom's questions to Huhtamaki Oyj (HMKIY) leadership • Q1 2025

    Question

    Asked about the significant EBIT drop in North America relative to sales, the raw material outlook, and which segments experienced price increases.

    Answer

    The North America EBIT drop was due to negative performance in the large, high-margin retail tableware segment, caused by a Q4 pull-forward and a late Easter. Raw material prices are expected to be stable in the next quarter. Price increases were seen in Fiber (to recover costs) and Flexibles (due to better product mix), while Foodservice and North America had negative price/mix impacts.
