Positive Outlook

Challenges Ahead
- Input costs and distribution are projected to increase by $35 to $40 million as prices for wood, energy, chemicals and other key inputs continue to increase.
- Total maintenance outage expenses are projected to increase by $24 million, primarily the impact of a 10-year cold mill outage at our Saillat mill and an extended cold mill outage at our Eastover mill.
