Magnus Heimburg, CEO of Preem, comments:
- Our Supply & Refining segment reported an adjusted EBITDA of SEK 1,188 million for the first quarter of 2025, down from SEK 2,275 million in the same period last year. The decline in financial performance was primarily driven by a reduction in international refining margins, particularly for diesel and gasoline.
- In our Marketing & Sales segment, we saw a continued strong demand for our HVO100, which reached a new market high in March. Consequently, our market share for the month accounted for approximately one third of the Sweden HVO100 market.
- In the fast-changing geopolitical landscape, it is too early to assess the full implications from the imposed US tariffs. Our initial understanding and conclusion are that the direct impact of tariffs on Preem will be limited, states Magnus Heimburg in his closing marks.
- On March 31, a Sale and Purchase Agreement was signed under which VARO Energy acquire 100 percent of the shares in Corral Petroleum Holdings AB. VARO's long-term strategic vision is strongly aligned with our own. The combined entity will deliver greater value to customers, increase resilience across our operations, and make a meaningful contribution to energy security in both Sweden and Europe.
