2.2 Sales

Items affecting comparability

Sales by business area

Certain non-operational or non-cash valuation transactions with significant income statement impact are considered as items affecting comparability and reported separately to reflect the underlying business performance and to enhance comparability from period to period. In 2019, items affecting comparability in operating profit include EUR 15 million restructuring charges and EUR 12 million impairment charges related to closure of paper machine 2 at UPM Rauma mill, Finland, and EUR 24 million restructuring charges and EUR 1 million impairment charges related to closure of paper machine 10 at UPM Plattling mill, Germany. Additionally, restructuring charges reported as items affecting comparability include prior capacity closures in UPM Communication Papers as well as restructuring costs related to establishment of a new Business Services Hub in Wroclaw, Poland. In 2018, items affecting comparability in operating profit include fair value change of forest assets in Finland amounting to EUR 345 million, resulting mainly from higher forest growth estimates. In addition, the group has adjusted its long-term wood price estimates slightly. Capital gains affecting the comparability comprise of a gain of EUR 30 million relating to sale of UPM Communication Papers’ hydropower facilities in Schongau and Ettringen, Germany. Restructuring charges reported as items affecting comparability include reversals of previous years’ restructuring provisions, amounting to EUR 18 million for UPM Communication Papers and EUR 9 million charges in UPM Energy regarding restructuring of ownership in MeriPori power plant.

UPM generates revenue mainly from the sale of goods, i.e. several types of products. The majority of UPM’s revenue comes from sales of graphic and specialty papers to publishers, retailers, printing houses, merchants and distributors, converters and label stock manufacturers; sales of self-adhesive label materials to label printers and brand owners and sales of pulp products to tissue, board, specialty and graphic paper producers. The revenue comprises also sales of energy, biofuels, sawn timber and plywood products and a very limited amount of services not related to sale of goods. UPM sells a proportion of its products to several major customers. The largest customer in terms of sales represented approximately 3% of UPM’s sales in 2019 and 2018, and the ten largest customers represented approximately 15% of such sales. The group disaggregates its external sales by business area, because this depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Sales by UPM business areas are reported consistently with the internal reporting provided to UPM’s President and CEO who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the business areas. The goods and services included in sales revenue of each business area are presented in below tables.
