Valmet has strengthened its long-term debt structure by completing its first Schuldschein loan transaction, securing Euro 375 million. The loan comprises 11 tranches with three-, five-, seven-, and ten-year maturities, resulting in an average maturity of nearly six years. The issuance was arranged by BNP Paribas, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken and Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen Girozentrale.

The final amount more than doubled the initial marketed volume due to substantial oversubscription from investors. Valmet's gearing stood at 38% at the end of the Q3 2025, below its target of under 50%.
