UPM's profit rose 62%; firm sees tough quarter
Article Abstract:
UPM-Kymmene Corp., a paper and pulp producer in Finland, posted a 62% increase in pretax profit for the first nine months of 1998, to $1.5 billion, compared with the same period in the previous year. The figure results after adding 3.41 markkaa in capital gains from share sales. The company says pretax profit for the third quarter was 2 billion markkaa, including capital gains of 569 million markkaa. The company cautions that a lower demand for paper will yield negative results on the present quarter's figures. UPM also warns that the business situation is weakening in the forestry products sector.
