GreenFirst Reports Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2024

*Q2 2024 net loss from continuing operations was $14.5 million or $0.08 per share (diluted), compared to net loss of $13.4 million or loss of $0.08 per share (diluted) in Q1 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for Q2 2024 was negative $12.1 million compared to negative $3.5 million in Q1 2024. Both the lumber and paper operations had a negative contribution to Q2 2024 as a result of weak market conditions.
*Lumber sales volumes in Q2 2024 were lower than Q1 2024 due to the continued drag on lumber demand as housing affordability remains significantly impacted by high mortgage rates. There also remain an oversupply of lumber, which resulted in lower field takeaways. Average realized lumber prices of $637/mfbm for Q2 2024 were also lower than the $644/mfbm pricing realized in Q1 2024. Benchmark prices continued to be under pressure subsequent to Q2 2024. The recent cuts by the Bank of Canada is signalling a reversal in monetary policy.
*The valuation provision for lumber and log inventory was increased to $3.2 million from $1.0 million at the end of Q1 2024, generating a $2.2 million charge to lumber cost of sales in Q2 2024.
*Our lower duty rate has positively impacted the Company’s earnings and free cash flow since August 1, 2023. The Company’s initial duty deposit rate, totaling 20.23%, remained in effect for almost two years, since the Company’s acquisition of its sawmill and paper mill assets on August 28, 2021.
*The Company plans to complete a spin-out transaction of Kap Corporation (“Kap”), the holding company of Kap Paper Inc. (“Kap Paper”), which holds all operating assets related to the paper mill operations.
