Positive Outlook

  • Demand for cellulose specialties and commodity products remain strong.

  • 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 third quarter.

Challenges Ahead

  • Price increases are expected to offset raw material cost increases in the third quarter, while sales volumes are expected to stay consistent with prior quarter for Paperboard.
  • Sales volumes remain dependent on production and supply chain constraints for High-Yield pulp.
  • The Company’s investment into a bioethanol facility at its Tartas, France facility was expected to be operational in mid-2023 but Given permitting delays the project is currently behind schedule.
