* Operating Earnings is defined as net
earnings from continuing operations attributable to International
Paper Company (GAAP) excluding special items and non-operating
pension expense. Non-operating pension expense in the second
quarter of 2016 included a pre-tax charge of $439 million ($270
million after taxes or $0.65
per share) for a settlement accounting charge associated with
payments under the previously announced term-vested lump sum
buyout.
Operating Earnings in the second quarter of 2016 totaled
$379 million ($0.92 per share) compared with $330 million ($0.80
per share) in the first quarter of 2016 and $409 million ($0.97
per share) in the second quarter of 2015.
Quarterly net sales were $5.3
billion in the second quarter of 2016 compared with
$5.1 billion in the first quarter of
2016 and $5.7 billion in the
second quarter of 2015. The year-over-year revenue
decline was primarily due to the sale of the IP-Sun joint venture
and the sale of the Carolina® Coated Bristols business.
Business segment operating profits in the second quarter of 2016
were $628 million, compared with
$497 million in the first quarter of
2016 and $676 million in the second
quarter of 2015.
Cash from operations was $605
million in the second quarter of 2016. Free cash flow
was $527 million for the quarter.
"International Paper continues to perform very well and we are
taking deliberate and meaningful strategic steps to make the
company stronger. Our second quarter results were driven by
strong execution across our operations around the globe," said
Mark Sutton, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer. "As we move into the second half of the
year, we remain focused on running our businesses well and closing
the Weyerhaeuser acquisition, which will strengthen our position in
the growing global fluff pulp markets and create additional value
for our shareholders."
SEGMENT INFORMATION
The performance of the Company's business segments is measured
quarter to quarter without variations caused by special items, as
management focuses on business segment operating profits excluding
those items. Second quarter 2016 business segment operating profits
and business trends compared with the prior quarter are as
follows:
Industrial Packaging operating profits in the second
quarter of 2016 were $487 million
($459 million including special
items) compared with $433 million
($396 million including special
items) in the first quarter of 2016. In North America,
earnings increased $58 million driven
by improved operations and higher box shipments due to seasonally
stronger market demand and one more shipping day. This was partly
offset by modestly lower average sales prices for North America boxes and export
containerboard.
Printing Papers operating profits were $101 million ($96
million including special items) in the second quarter of
2016 versus $85 million in the first
quarter of 2016. Earnings in North
America were mixed, as the papers business declined
primarily due to increased planned maintenance outages.
However, pulp improved due to lower conversion and outage costs
associated with the Riegelwood
mill conversion, partially offset by a less favorable product mix
and lower pulp prices. In Brazil, earnings were essentially
flat quarter over quarter, as higher planned maintenance outage
costs offset higher export sales volumes and improved domestic
prices. Earnings in Europe were
impacted by higher planned maintenance outage costs.
Consumer Packaging operating profits were $73 million in the second quarter of 2016
compared with $25 million
($16 million including special items)
in the first quarter of 2016. The earnings increase was
primarily due to no planned maintenance outages in North America, good operational performance,
as well as lower overall manufacturing costs. Foodservice
business earnings increased $7
million, primarily driven by seasonally higher sales volume
and cost improvements.
International Paper recorded Ilim joint venture equity
earnings of $46 million in the second
quarter of 2016 compared with $62
million in the first quarter of 2016. Operational
EBITDA for Ilim was lower than in the first quarter due to higher
planned maintenance outages and input costs, partially offset by
higher sales volumes. Primarily due to Ilim's U.S. dollar
denominated net debt, the Company recognized a non-cash after-tax
foreign exchange gain of $6 million
in the second quarter of 2016 ($0.01
per share), compared with an after-tax gain of $11 million in the first quarter of 2016
($0.03 per share).
CORPORATE EXPENSES
Net corporate expenses, excluding non-operating pension expense,
were $26 million for the second
quarter of 2016, compared with $21
million in the first quarter of 2016.
EFFECTIVE TAX RATE
The effective tax rate before special items and non-operating
pension expense for the second quarter of 2016 was 34%, compared
with an effective tax rate of 33% in the first quarter of
2016. The higher rate in the second quarter is due to changes
to our estimates of non-cash global tax reserves and valuation
allowances.
EFFECTS OF SPECIAL ITEMS
Special items in the second quarter of 2016 included a pre-tax
charge of $28 million ($20 million after taxes) for costs associated
with the sale of our Asia
corrugated packaging business, a pre-tax charge of $5 million ($3
million after taxes) for costs associated with the announced
agreement to purchase the Weyerhaeuser pulp business, a tax expense
of $23 million associated with 2016
cash pension contributions and a tax benefit of $6 million related to an international legal
entity restructuring.
Special items in the first quarter of 2016 included a loss of
$1 million (before and after taxes)
for Restructuring and other charges. Included within Restructuring
and other charges were a pre-tax charge of $9 million ($6
million after taxes) related to costs associated with the
conversion of the Riegelwood, North
Carolina mill to 100% pulp production and a pre-tax gain of
$8 million ($5
million after taxes) for the sale of our remaining
investment in Arizona Chemical. Special items also included a
pre-tax charge of $37 million
($34 million after taxes) for an
impairment of the assets of our Asia corrugated packaging business and costs
associated with the sale of the business, a tax benefit of
$57 million associated with the legal
restructuring of our Brazil Packaging business and a tax benefit of
$14 million related to the closure of
a U.S. federal income tax audit.
Special items in the second quarter of 2015 included a net
pre-tax loss of $194 million
($125 million after taxes) for
Restructuring and other charges. Included within Restructuring and
other charges were a pre-tax charge of $207
million ($133 million after
taxes) for premiums paid on a cash tender offer on outstanding
debt, a net pre-tax gain of $14
million ($9 million after
taxes) related to the sale of the Carolina® Coated Bristols brand
and costs associated with the conversion of the Riegelwood, North Carolina facility to 100%
pulp production, and a charge of $1
million (before and after taxes) for other items. Special
items also included a pre-tax gain of $4
million ($2 million after
taxes) related to state tax credits, a tax expense of $23 million for the tax impact of the 2015 cash
pension contribution of $750 million
and a tax expense of $5 million for
other items.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2016 included a
pre-tax charge of $8 million
($5 million after taxes) for a legal
settlement related to the xpedx business, which was spun-off in the
third quarter of 2014.

The Company
calculates Operating Earnings by excluding the after-tax effect of
non-operating pension expense and items considered by management to
be unusual from the earnings reported under U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP"). Management uses this measure to
focus on on-going operations, and believes that it is useful to
investors because it enables them to perform meaningful comparisons
of past and present operating results. International Paper believes
that using this information, along with net earnings, provides for
a more complete analysis of the results of operations by quarter.
Net earnings is the most directly comparable GAAP
measure.
|
|
(2)
|
Since diluted
earnings per share are computed independently for each period,
six-month per share amounts may not equal the sum of the respective
quarters.
