“We are pleased that margin recovery, along with improved sales volume and a better mix in our Consumer business, generated strong Adjusted EBITDA of $55.0 million in the second quarter of 2023,” stated KP Tissue’s Chief Executive Officer, Dino Bianco. “Ongoing cost management initiatives, including productivity gains and cost controls, also contributed to increasing profitability. In addition, our Away-From-Home segment delivered a fourth consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA to maintain its growth momentum. As a result, our financial performance in the second quarter normalized versus a more challenging market and operating environment in the same period last year. On a sequential basis, revenue and Adjusted EBITDA continued to improve, rising 3.4% and 10.2% in the quarter, respectively.”

“Looking ahead to the second half of 2023, we anticipate a more favourable landscape as input costs trend downwards, TAD Sherbrooke and the Sherbrooke Expansion Project continue to ramp up production capacity to meet customer demand, and margins are restored to their pre-pandemic levels,” Mr. Bianco added.

Sappi announces results for the third financial quarter 2024

Operating performance for the third quarter was substantially above last year with the group delivering EBITDA(2) excluding special items of US$151 million. Despite the third quarter being seasonally the weakest for our business and a sluggish global economy, the underlying profitability, excluding a US$30 million impact of the scheduled maintenance shuts at Saiccor and Somerset Mills, remained steady quarter-on-quarter. The performance was driven by sustained strong market conditions in the pulp segment, offset somewhat by a muted recovery in paper markets. Included in EBITDA was a positive plantation fair value price adjustment of US$3 million.
