Mondi recorded 196 million euros in underlying EBITDA for the third quarter of 2026, marking an increase from 167 million euros in the second quarter. The results were achieved despite rising energy and raw material costs.
Why it matters
Rising input costs for energy and wood in central and eastern Europe prompted the company to announce further price increases for paper grades. These adjustments are intended to offset inflationary pressures and sustain performance throughout 2027.
Mondi reported 196 million euros in Q3 EBITDA, compared to 167 million euros in the second quarter, a period that included a 43 million euro forestry fair value loss. The company continues to navigate rising energy and wood costs.
The players
Mondi
Mondi is a global packaging and paper group that operates across the entire value chain, from managing forests to producing consumer and industrial packaging.

Macro View
This performance reflects the historical volatility of wood and energy costs in Central and Eastern European industrial sectors. Mondi's response follows a pattern set by regional industrial trends where rising operational expenses necessitate strategic pricing adjustments.
The announcement of further price increases for paper products suggests that customers may face higher costs for packaging materials. These adjustments may eventually influence the broader retail prices of goods that rely on these packaging solutions.
