It is with great appreciation to their dedicated and committed volunteers that the Howe Sound Pulp & Paper Mill recently presented a $1,500 donation to the Sunshine Coast Search and Rescue (SCSAR) – a fantastic non-profit organization. The SCSAR relies on donations to maintain a state of readiness and help conduct life-saving operations within our community. Thank you for the work you do!

The increase in the Company's cost and expense structure has lagged inflation due to productivity gains and the focus on cost discipline. Our commitment to financial discipline is reinforced by the reductions in both gross and net debt, as well as by significant lengthening of our amortization profile (from 62 to 80 months). The leverage ratio remains at a healthy level (2.3x Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA) and the total average debt cost remains competitive (4.4% p.a. in USD). The Adjusted EBITDA² of R$1.041/ton and strong Cash Generation¹ of R$795/ton were other metrics in which we outperformed the overall industry. The ROIC of 13.0% reflects the positive impact from pulp prices, as well as from cost and expense discipline and the margin recovery in the paper segment.
