The past two years have been marked with significant accomplishments in transforming Mativ into an enterprise that is more agile and well-positioned for the future. These actions included divesting non-strategic businesses, closing and consolidating sites, integrating our systems, and restructuring our organization to be more lean, adaptable and scalable. As we head into our third year as a company, we continue to be relentlessly focused on delivering value to our customers, aggressively reducing complexity and costs, and delivering adjusted EBITDA and margin improvements. We are pleased with our execution and look forward to creating incremental value for our customers and shareholders.”

Jussi Pesonen, President and CEO, comments on the Q2 results: “UPM delivered a very good second quarter, and rapid recovery of our earnings continued. In the exceptional economic environment, demand for UPM’s products was strong, and overall, our price increases more than offset rising input costs. At the same time, our transformative growth projects continued on schedule and on budget, and we are in an excellent position going forwards. Our Q2 sales increased by 15% to EUR 2,384 million, and comparable EBIT was up by 51% rising to EUR 307 million from the lockdown affected Q2 of last year. Operating cash flow increased to EUR 308 million. Net debt at the end of June was EUR 750 million, and our financial position remains strong with EUR 2.5 billion in cash funds and unused committed credit facilities. The most notable improvement was seen in UPM Biorefining, where pulp and sawn timber prices soared, and the business area made its best second quarter ever. Result was held back by the scheduled maintenance shutdown at the Fray Bentos pulp mill in Uruguay, and a shutdown due to a fire at the Lappeenranta biorefinery in Finland."

Suzano Papel e Celulose announces its consolidated results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2017 (2Q17).
