STG's Net Sales and EBITDA Drop in Q2 2022
STG's net sales and EBITDA fell in Q2 2022 due to lower productivity, but improvements expected in H2.

The Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG) has reported a 2% drop in net sales and a 15% drop in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) for Q2 2022 compared to the same quarter last year, when they were performing strongly. The company attributes this to lower than expected productivity in their supply chain leading to decreased output and increased costs. While the STG anticipates improvements in the second half of the year, delays are expected to have a negative impact on their full-year net sales and costs.

According to STG, the production backlog reached a level close to 150 million Danish kroner ($20.212 million) by the end of July. The company stated, "However, with these improvements and cross-product pricing initiatives, we expect to resume EBITDA growth in the second half of the year.


According to Nils Frederiksen, CEO of Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG), the year 2022 will be a difficult one for the company. He stated that they will have to adjust their expectations for organic EBITDA growth for the entire year. This disappointing development is primarily driven by challenges in their supply chain and secondly by more cautious consumer behavior, particularly in the important US handmade cigar market.


Despite this, we are maintaining strong financial expectations for cash flow and positive earnings per share growth in 2022, and are continuing to implement our strategic plans towards 2025. The acquisition of Room101 and our ongoing expansion in the US retail market are prime examples. Overall, we remain confident in the strength of our core business and cash flow.
