Here are Antti’s pre-game thoughts ahead of Koskisen’s earnings report on Thursday, August 13th 
We expect the company’s revenue to have grown strongly thanks to the acquisition of Iisveden Metsä and organic growth in the sawmill industry. However, profitability is being weighed down by high wood costs and the continued downturn in the construction market. Koskisen is likely to reiterate the guidance it lowered before Q1, as there are still no signs of a recovery in demand within the construction sector on the horizon, and the price of sawlogs has also remained high. We are making no changes to our view on Koskisen before the Q2 report.
