Third quarter of 2014 operating margin excluding non-recurring items also skyrocketed to 3.9% from 0.6% in the prior year quarter.
Including non-recurring items of EUR -23.2 million, Ahlstrom posted an operating loss of EUR 13.4 million versus operating profit of EUR 1.5 million in the year ago quarter.
Loss before taxes touched an alarming EUR 19.9 million, up from loss before taxes of EUR 4.4 million in the corresponding quarter of 2013.
“The operating environment in Ahlstrom's main markets in the third quarter of 2014 varied considerably depending on regions and markets,” the nonwovens producer said.
In the Advanced Filtration business area, growth continued in the gas turbine and industrial filtration applications, particularly in North America and Asia.
The markets for laboratory and life science also grew, whereas demand for high efficiency air applications was somewhat softer, particularly in Europe.
“In the Building and Energy business area, demand for construction-related materials such as flooring applications has improved in Europe, but continued to soften in Russia,” Ahlstrom added.
The market for reinforced glass fiber products for the wind energy industry in Europe remained soft and demand for wallpaper and wallcovering substrates softened in Europe and Russia, while it remained solid in China.
In the Food business area, demand for beverage, food packaging and tape products continued to be solid in all main geographical regions. Growth continued in the single-use coffee products market.
In the Medical business area, demand for medical fabrics was stable in Europe and North America, while it strengthened in Asia, supported by the growing trend for single-use products.
