“International Paper delivered strong revenue and earnings growth in the second quarter,” said Mark Sutton, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We performed well both commercially and operationally, which contributed to margin expansion despite a challenging supply chain and input cost environment. Looking ahead to the third quarter, we expect the realization of prior price movements to outpace higher input costs.”

Sutton added, “Our Building a Better IP set of initiatives delivered $65 million of additional earnings improvement in the second quarter, for a total of $105 million through the first half of the year. Given this strong momentum, we are confident in achieving the high end of our full-year target.”
