Event Summary

ASPO released its interim report for January-March 2026, showing stable performance with comparable EBITA from continuing operations at EUR 7.1 million. The company completed the divestment of Leipurin to Lantmännen for EUR 63 million, significantly strengthening its balance sheet. ESL Shipping's profitability declined due to weak demand and increased fuel costs from the war in Iran, while Telko experienced significant volume growth and increased comparable EBITA. ASPO is continuing its strategic vision to split ESL Shipping and Telko into two separate companies by the end of 2026, either through a partial demerger or divestment of ESL Shipping. Both businesses are undergoing profitability improvement programs and strategic renewals.
