Pulp & Paper chemicals market estimated to grow 1-2%

• Pulp & Paper chemicals market drivers

– Hardwood and softwood pulp demand increasing driven by growth of packaging needs (e-commerce, non-plastic solutions), growing tissue demand and lack of recycled fiber

– Demand increase continues for packaging, driven by online shopping, last-mile delivery, product safety and non-plastic solutions

– Growth in tissue demand driven by increasing wealth in emerging countries

– Ongoing digitalization of media drives decline of graphic paper demand

• Growth areas, pulp and board & tissue, represent over 80% of our Pulp & Paper revenue

– Ongoing capacity additions suit well for the need of growing demand

Strong demand in pulp market creating growth opportunitiesNew pulp mill projects are driven by increasing demand for tissue and board

• Main bleached pulp demand growth globally from tissue

• Food and liquid packaging board is growing particularly fast in Asia

• Pulp is produced close to fiber sources and then shipped to board, paper, and tissue mills or used captively in an integrated mill

• Growth of bleached pulp = 1 new pulp mill per year

Multiple pulp mill projects realised and expected in Northern Europe creating opportunities for Kemira to grow with the market

In addition, a few large scale pulp mill projects expected in South America, and new applications outside traditional Pulp&Paper (e.g. car battery manufacturing)

• Agreed to form joint venture with Tiancheng

• NewCo will produce mainly AKD wax and its key raw material fatty acid chloride (FACL)

– AKD is sizing chemical used in board and paper to create resistance against liquid absorption

– NewCo also plans to produce coagulants for water treatment

• Kemira strengthens its position and secures supply of key raw material for AKD wax

• Kemira has 80% of NewCo

1. The requirements of the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (UWWTD) must be implemented fully and equally in all member states.

2. Emission limit values (especially phosphorus) in water discharges should be tightened.

3. Digitalization can improve both the quality of monitoring and the cost efficiency of water treatment.

4. Emerging pollutants need to be included in the legislation.

5. Pollution from storm-water overflows must be limited and discharges safely disinfected.

6. Clearer guidance is needed on applying innovation and sustainability criteria in public procurement for water treatment.

Priority KPI+Target Performance Comments Progress

Sustainable products

and solutions

Product sustainability

Share of revenue from products used for

use-phase resource efficiency. At least

50% of Kemira’s revenue generated

through products improving customers’

resource efficiency.

By the end of Q4, Kemira's share of revenue from products

used for use-phase resource efficiency was 53%. This target

result and increasing trend since setting our baseline

average can be attributed to a combination of factors,

primarily increased customer demand and Kemira's

increased focus on development and sales of such products.

Responsible

operations and supply

chain

Workplace safety

Achieve zero injuries on long term;

TRIF* 2.0 by end of 2020.

By the end of 2019, our safety performance included a

TRIF of 2.1 (3.5), a result that was a significant

improvement over 2018. We beat our 2019 target of 3.1

through continued and consistent work towards improving

our health and safety culture to prevent incidents, and

mitigating health and safety hazards across all operations

in Kemira.

Climate change

Kemira Carbon Index ≤ 80 by end of

2020 (2012 = 100). This KPI is reported

once a year.

The overall slight increase in the Kemira Carbon Index in

2019 was due to the increase in carbon intensity of the

Nordpool spot market. Our scope 1 emissions reduced

slightly due to lower use of natural gas in Sweden. At the

end of 2019, Kemira set an ambition to be carbon neutral

by 2045 and a new target of reducing combined scope 1

and 2 greenhouse gasses by 30% by 2030, relative to

2018 levels.

Supplier Management

% of direct key suppliers screened

through sustainability assessments and

audits (cumulative %). The target

includes 5 sustainability audits for

highest risk** suppliers every year, and

cumulatively 25 by 2020.

Sustainability screening of key suppliers continued as

planned with a total of five completed by the end of Q4.

The audit results were reviewed together with the

suppliers, and improvement plans were created and

followed up on accordingly as part of our supplier

management practices. The most common corrective

actions were related to working hours and wages, as well

as improving safety at suppliers’ sites.

Important information about financial figuresKemira provides certain financial performance measures (alternative performance measures) on non-GAAP basis. Kemira believes that alternative performance measures, such as organic growth*, EBITDA, operative EBITDA, cash flow after investing activities, and gearing followed by capital markets and Kemira management, provide useful information of its comparable business performance and financial position. Selected alternative performance measures are also used as performance criteria in remuneration.

Kemira’s alternative performance measures should not be viewed in isolation to the equivalent IFRS measures and alternative performance measures should be read in conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS measures. Definitions of the alternative performance measures can be found in the Definitions of the key figures in this report, as well as at www.kemira.com > Investors > Financial information.

All the figures in this interim report have been individually rounded and consequently the sum of individual figures may deviate slightly from the sum figure presented.
