The previous earnings contribution from the containerboard business of USD 168 million EBITDA up to the end of August and the expected USD 50 million in the fourth quarter have been deducted. The adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2025 from continuing operations is now expected to be between USD 507 million and USD 517 million.
