Stora Enso’s historical figures according to IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements

Helsinki, Finland, 2014-03-19 08:00 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- STORA ENSO OYJ STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 19 March 2014 at 9.00 EET

Stora Enso adopted the new IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements as of 1 January 2014. The change affects the accounting treatment of Montes del Plata and Veracel which are now treated as joint operations and thus Stora Enso’s 50% ownership is consolidated with the line-by-line method. Previously these two entities were consolidated using the equity method.

The line by line consolidation of Stora Enso’s 50% ownership of Montes del Plata and Veracel has no impact on published operational EBIT, net profit, equity or earnings per share. The line by line consolidation impacts all the primary statements in the consolidated financial statements. The impacts are summarised below:

  • Increase in operational EBITDA
  • Increase in property, plant and equipment, biological assets and net debt
  • Decrease in equity accounted investment
  • Increase in capital expenditure and decreases in equity injections to equity accounted investments.


Historical figures according to the new standard are presented in the tables below. Additionally, the Group has revised the presentation of the cash flow statement to reflect better the underlying cash movements.

CTA = Cumulative Translation Adjustment, EAI = Equity Accounted Investments, NCI = Non-controlling Interests,
NRI = Non-recurring Items, OCI = Other Comprehensive Income
