Forward Guidance

Positive Outlook
- Demand for cellulose specialties remains strong.

- Commodity sales prices in the second quarter of 2022 are also expected to increase from the first quarter as supply for fluff products remains constrained.
- Paperboard prices continue to increase driven by strong demand in both commercial printing and packaging segments.
- High-yield pulp markets remain positive with realized prices expected to increase in the second quarter.
Challenges Ahead
- Total sales volumes for the full year remain dependent on managing ongoing supply-chain constraints and production reliability.
- Costs are also expected to increase driven by chemical and transportation costs for High-Yield Pulp.
