Magnus Heimburg, CEO of Preem, comments:
“The market environment in Europe strengthened, supported by summer driving season, refinery outages and global autumn refinery maintenance season. Due to supportive developments in biofuel regulations, the market for renewables improved. European margins on diesel, gasoline, and renewables trended upwards during the quarter and stayed at healthy levels compared to long-term historical averages.”
“Our Supply & Refining segment delivered an adjusted EBITDA of SEK 1,484 million for the third quarter of 2025, up from SEK 137 million in the corresponding period last year. This improvement was primarily driven by stronger product margins for diesel and gasoline, as well as higher renewable margins.”
“During the third quarter our Marketing & Sales segment reported an EBITDA of SEK 313 million, compared to SEK 329 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to a one-off adjustment regarding compensation for a site closure that benefited the third quarter prior year. At the same time, we continued to expand our B2B customer base in Norway, which contributed to increased sales volumes during the quarter.”
“I am also glad to announce that we set a new record for our renewable production, reaching a production of 247 000 cubic meters, surpassing the previous record of 233 000 cubic meters produced during one quarter.”
