KALMAR CORPORATION, PRESS RELEASE, 27 MARCH 2025 AT 11.00 AM (EET)
Kalmar launches five-year Move2Green program funded by Business Finland to develop low-emission and intelligent material handling solutions
Kalmar launched a five-year Move2Green R&D program and has been granted EUR 20 million funding from Business Finland Leading Company Competition. The goal of the Move2Green program led by Kalmar is to advance carbon neutrality in heavy material handling by developing the electric equipment portfolio and data-driven services. The vision of the program is to enable our customers' net-zero logistics chain in ports, terminals, and other heavy industrial logistics by 2045.
Building an ecosystem for the green transition
'Heavy material handling is a significant source of carbon dioxide emissions, and we have a unique opportunity to reduce the environmental impact caused by the use of our active installed base of 68,000 machines. The demand for electric equipment is growing, and our customers are increasingly seeking sustainable solutions. To ensure success, we need a broad ecosystem to develop intelligent charging solutions, software and equipment to accelerate this transformation", says Sami Niiranen, President and CEO of Kalmar.
The Move2Green program brings together over 150 ecosystem partners, including industrial organizations, technology companies, research institutions, and universities. The goal of this collaboration is to initiate and lead large-scale research and development projects, increase research and development investments and to build solutions that enhance the efficiency in heavy material handling operations and support its transition to a low-carbon future.
During the five-year program, Kalmar is committed to increasing its research and development efforts. The ecosystem will facilitate collaboration between large and small and medium-sized companies, and in the long term, the project is expected to have a significant employment impact within the research, development, and innovation ecosystem.
Towards globally sustainable material handling
Move2Green marks a significant step toward low-emission and intelligent material handling. In collaboration with Business Finland and ecosystem partners, Kalmar is developing technologies that promote global sustainability. The project offers a unique opportunity for innovative research and development, accelerating the green and digital transition in Finland. Additionally, the Move2Green initiative aims to develop clean energy solutions and new business models centered around circular economy principles and lifecycle thinking.
Through Leading company challenge competitions, Business Finland seeks research and development projects for funding from companies that operate globally or aim for global operations. These projects should tackle major future challenges and make a significant impact on Finland's competitiveness. Leading companies are expected to significantly increase their R&D activities in Finland and build ecosystems aimed at new business ventures. In addition to funding the leading company's projects, Business Finland also offers funding for R&D projects from partners within leading companies' ecosystem.

Strength Seen in Stora Enso Oyj (SEOAY): Can Its 11.3% Jump Turn into More Strength?
Stora Enso Oyj (SEOAY) shares soared 11.3% in the last trading session to close at $10.62. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 6.8% loss over the past four weeks. Stora Enso shares climbed after the company launched a strategic review of its Swedish forest assets, including a potential partial demerger and separate public listing. The initiative aims to sharpen strategic focus, streamline operations and unlock greater value from both its core packaging and forest businesses. If pursued, the split would create two standalone entities: Stora Enso, maintaining leadership in renewable packaging with strong market positions and efficient production, and a new listed forest company—the largest of its kind in Europe—with unique long-term asset value and new revenue potential. Last month, Stora Enso agreed to sell 175,000 hectares of Swedish forestland for EUR 900 million. Stora Enso retains ownership of more than 1.2 million hectares in Sweden, with a fair value of approximately EUR 5.8 billion as of 31 March 2025. This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.05 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -37.5%. Revenues are expected to be $2.74 billion, up 10.8% from the year-ago quarter. While earnings and revenue growth expectations are important in evaluating the potential strength in a stock, empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements. For Stora Enso Oyj, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. And a stock's price usually doesn't keep moving higher in the absence of any trend in earnings estimate revisions. So, make sure to keep an eye on SEOAY going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road. The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>> Stora Enso Oyj is a member of the Zacks Paper and Related Products industry. One other stock in the same industry, International Paper (IP), finished the last trading session 0.4% higher at $46.12. IP has returned -8.2% over the past month. International Paper's consensus EPS estimate for the upcoming report has changed -3.4% over the past month to $0.38. Compared to the company's year-ago EPS, this represents a change of -30.9%.

For more information, visit Risks The Funds' shares may change in value and may go down as well as up. You could lose money by investing in a Fund. You may not get back all of the money you invest. Market risk is the risk that a particular security, or shares of a fund in general may fall in value. Securities are subject to market fluctuations caused by such factors as general economic conditions, political events, regulatory or market developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in securities prices. Shares of a fund could decline in value or underperform other investments as a result. In addition, local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, spread of infectious disease or other public health issues, recessions, natural disasters or other events could have significant negative impact on a fund. Current market conditions risk is the risk that a particular investment, or shares of the fund in general, may fall in value due to current market conditions. As a means to fight inflation, the Federal Reserve and certain foreign central banks have raised interest rates and expect to continue to do so, and the Federal Reserve has announced that it intends to reverse previously implemented quantitative easing. Recent and potential future bank failures could result in disruption to the broader banking industry or markets generally and reduce confidence in financial institutions and the economy as a whole, which may also heighten market volatility and reduce liquidity. Ongoing armed conflicts between Russia and Ukraine in Europe and among Israel, Hamas and other militant groups in the Middle East, have caused and could continue to cause significant market disruptions and volatility within the markets in Russia, Europe, the Middle East and the United States. The hostilities and sanctions resulting from those hostilities have and could continue to have a significant impact on certain fund investments as well as fund performance and liquidity. The COVID-19 global pandemic, or any future public health crisis, and the ensuing policies enacted by governments and central banks have caused and may continue to cause significant volatility and uncertainty in global financial markets, negatively impacting global growth prospects. Recent and potential future bank failures could result in disruption to the broader banking industry or markets generally and reduce confidence in financial institutions and the economy as a whole, which may also heighten market volatility and reduce liquidity. There may be tracking difference between a Fund and the relevant underlying index due to the impact of annual Fund management fees. Therefore a Fund's return may not match the return of a Fund's benchmark. A Fund's holdings may be issued by companies concentrated in a particular industry or country. A Fund may invest in small capitalisation and mid capitalisation companies. Such companies may experience greater price volatility than larger, more established companies. As the Funds' investments may be denominated in currencies other than the Funds' currency, an investment in a Fund may expose you to currency risk. A Fund's Net Asset Value (NAV) is likely to have high volatility due to the portfolio composition and/or the index replication technique. As such, potential investors should be aware that a Fund's shares may change in value, and may do so in a volatile fashion; potential investors could lose money by investing in a Fund. Neither FTGPM nor any of its affiliates guarantees the performance or the future returns of a Fund. There is no guarantee that a Fund will declare dividends.
