Supporting context

This section explains the evidence and judgment used to support the recommendation and the legal, brand and financial assumptions used in the valuation.

Reference case

Billerud

Prepared reference case

Indicative value of the Billerud industrial house name on FY2025 group sales. It is not the value of Billerud AB, its mills, materials technology, product marks, customer contracts or underlying packaging operations.

The 1.00% house-name ceiling is an analyst cap, not an observed licence. Brand strength 68/100 selects a 0.68% royalty, about SEK 275m on the FY2025 base. This is 22.4% of reported SEK 1,230m operating profit, a directional 25%-of-profit capacity check rather than proof of trademark rent. Group sales remain an exposure proxy. Behavioral and legal scores are outside-in analyst estimates, not measured customer data or a legal opinion. Growth and discount rates are scenarios.
Informed by numerous sources including company reporting, investor materials, analyst research, market data and selected benchmark references where relevant.
