“In the third quarter, International Paper grew revenue, earnings and margins despite significant input cost and supply chain challenges, and continued to generate strong cash from operations,” said Mark Sutton, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Widespread supply chain constraints impacted our ability to capture the full opportunity that comes with the strong level of demand we’re seeing. Input costs also rose far more than we anticipated and we expect this inflationary environment to continue for the foreseeable future.”

Sutton added, “Looking ahead, we expect strong seasonal demand for corrugated packaging in the fourth quarter, with additional margin expansion from previous price increases.”
