Paper Excellence Announces Meadow Lake Production Slowdown Due To Lack of Railway Service

Paper Excellence announced on 2-11-2022 an indefinite production slowdown of its Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan BCTMP mill due to repeated lack of railway service.

Meadow Lake Mechanical Pulp Inc., which employs 190 people and infuses over $1 million daily into Canada’s economy, is dependent on CN Rail, which has failed to transport Meadow Lake’s pulp production to ports for months. The mill has exhausted local storage facilities.

“While we remain committed to servicing our customers’ needs during this slowdown, we are extremely concerned about this railway situation and hope that it can be resolved soon,” said Stew Gibson, Vice President, Operations and Logistics. Paper Excellence plans to return the mill to full production once reliable railway service is reestablished.

Fibria announces its 1Q18 Earnings

Adjusted EBITDA totaled R$1,824 million in 1Q18, 8% less than in 4Q17, due to lower sales volume, to the higher cash COGS effect, in turn impacted by the higher production cash cost, partially offset by the higher average net price of pulp in dollars. The EBITDA margin stood at 55% excluding the sale of pulp from Klabin and 49% including this effect. The 1Q18 net financial result was negative by R$270 million, versus a negative R$781 million in 4Q17 and a positive R$331 million in 1Q17. The variation from 4Q17 and 1Q17 was chiefly due to the lower exchange rate effect on the debt position and the hedge result. As a result of all the above, Fibria reported 1Q18 net income of R$615 million, versus net income of R$280 million in 4Q17 and R$329 million in 1Q17. Click Read More below for additional information.
