Dialogue with the markets
Outokumpu’s hare is a so-called people’s share in Finland, with households and private investors owning more than a quarter of its outstanding shares. The largest shareholder is Solidium Oy, the Finnish-state owned investment company, who owned 15.5% of the outstanding shares at year-end. The share of international institutions’ ownership slightly decreased during the year and reached a level of 30.8% at the end of 2022.
Outokumpu continued its regular and active communication with investors and analysts throughout the year. The key topics in 2022 were the unprecedented situation in the energy market, increased cost inflation, the Russian attack on Ukraine and its consequences as well as the overall market environment including raw material and stainless steel price development.
Other topics included Outokumpu's second phase of the strategy and related financial targets, strengthened balance sheet, normalized EBITDA level, capital allocation and sustainability.
