Successful 2018 and a strong backlog for the current year
The fourth quarter tends to be the strongest for Valmet, and this was the case also in 2018. Q4/2018 was historical even for a fourth quarter, as net sales, comparable EBITA and the respective margin all were highest ever. The 11.5 percent EBITA margin also exceeded Valmet’s long-term target margin (8–10%). Orders received were also very high, and order backlog now stands at a record of EUR 2,829 million.
