International Paper Reports Second Quarter 2017 Earnings

International Paper (NYSE: IP) today reported second quarter 2017 net earnings attributable to International Paper of $80 million ($0.19 per share) compared with net earnings of $209 million ($0.50 per share) for the first quarter of 2017 and net earnings of $40 million ($0.10 per share) in the second quarter of 2016. Net earnings in all periods include the impact of special items, if any, non-operating pension expense and discontinued operations.

Adjusted operating earnings in the second quarter of 2017 were $270 million ($0.65 per share) compared with $249 million ($0.60 per share) in the first quarter of 2017 and $379 million ($0.92 per share) in the second quarter of 2016.

Quarterly net sales were $5.8 billion in the second quarter of 2017 compared with $5.5 billion in the first quarter of 2017 and  $5.3 billion in the second quarter of 2016. The year-over-year revenue increase was primarily due to the pulp business that was acquired in late 2016.

Business segment operating profits in the second quarter of 2017 were $129 million, compared with $428 million in the first quarter of 2017 and $627 million in the second quarter of 2016.  The second quarter of 2017 includes the impact of the Kleen Products settlement.

Cash provided by operations was $645 million in the second quarter of 2017 and $605 million in the second quarter of 2016.  Free cash flow (non-GAAP) was $355 million for the second quarter of 2017 and $527 million in the second quarter of 2016.

“Solid second quarter results were supported by healthy demand in our North American Industrial Packaging business and record fluff pulp sales which were partially offset by higher than expected OCC costs,” said Mark Sutton, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  “Looking forward, we see margin expansion associated with the realization of our announced price increases, acquisition synergies and significantly lower outage expenses driving a very strong second half and putting IP on track to deliver our full year earnings target.”
