CLW ClearWater Paper Corporation

Clearwater Paper Corporation (NYSE:CLW), a premier supplier of bleached paperboard and quality consumer tissue today reported financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024.

SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

• Continued strong demand in tissue, improved demand in paperboard
• Completed acquisition of Augusta paperboard manufacturing facility
• Net sales of $586 million, up 12% from the second quarter of last year, primarily driven by incremental sales volume from Augusta
• Net loss of $26 million, or $1.55 per diluted share compared to $30 million income, or $1.75 per diluted share in the second quarter of last year
• Adjusted EBITDA of $35 million, $36 million less than second quarter of last year, driven by the $32 million impact from the planned major maintenance at the Lewiston, Idaho facility

"We completed the acquisition of the Augusta facility in May and our integration is on track. We are pleased with the quality of the assets and are committed to achieving our targeted synergies by the end of 2026,” said Arsen Kitch, president and chief executive officer. “Our tissue business continues to deliver outstanding performance, and we are expecting a gradual recovery in paperboard market demand in the coming quarters.”

STRATEGIC UPDATES

On July 22, 2024, the company announced that it has signed definitive agreements to sell its consumer products division (tissue business) to Sofidel America Corp. for $1.06 billion, subject to customary adjustments. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval other customary closing conditions and is currently expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2024.

“We thoroughly explored strategic options for our tissue business and believe that Sofidel will be well positioned to continue investing in these assets for long-term growth,” said Kitch. "This is a transformational time for Clearwater paper, and we are looking forward to the next chapter of value creation as we continue our strategy to scale and grow our paperboard business.”

USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

In this press release, the company presents certain non-GAAP financial information for the second quarter and first six months of 2024 and 2023, including Adjusted EBITDA. Because these amounts are not in accordance with GAAP, reconciliations to net income as determined in accordance with GAAP are included in the tables at the end of this press release. The company presents these non-GAAP metrics because management believes they assist investors and analysts in comparing the company's performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that the company does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance. In addition, the company uses Adjusted EBITDA: (i) as a factor in evaluating management’s performance when determining incentive compensation, (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of the company's business strategies, and (iii) because the company's credit agreement and the indentures governing the company's outstanding notes use metrics similar to Adjusted EBITDA to measure the company's compliance with certain covenants.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release contains certain “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 as amended, including statements regarding: the acquisition of the paperboard manufacturing facility and associated business in Augusta, Georgia; our expectations regarding tissue performance and paperboard demand; the expected timing and structure of the pending consumer products division (tissue business) sale transaction; the ability of the parties to complete the pending tissue business sale transaction considering the various closing conditions; the company’s paperboard strategy, including its plans to further scale and increase capacity utilization; the company’s plans for the proceeds from the pending tissue business sale transaction, including its plan to meaningfully de-lever its balance sheet; and the company’s expectation that paperboard represents the best opportunity for steady and sustainable value creation.
