    Clearwater Paper Corporation (NYSE:CLW), a premier independent supplier of bleached paperboard to North American converters, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025.

    2025 FULL YEAR HIGHLIGHTS

    • Net sales of $1.6 billion, up 12% compared to 2024, with volumes up 14%, primarily from operating the Augusta facility for the full year
    • Net loss from continuing operations of $53 million, or $3.28 per diluted share, primarily driven by a $48 million non-cash goodwill impairment, partly offset by insurance proceeds
    • Adjusted EBITDA improved to $107 million from $36 million in 2024, driven by over $50 million in fixed‑cost reductions, including $16 million in SG&A savings that lowered SG&A costs from 8.4% to 6.5% of net sales
    • Significant improvement in execution of planned major maintenance outages, with all three completed on target at a total direct cost of approximately $50 million
    • Successfully completed integration of the Augusta mill and separation of the tissue business, both completed ahead of schedule and below targeted costs
    • Repurchased approximately $17 million of shares, with $79 million remaining of the authorization approved in November of 2024

    "We delivered significant year over year Adjusted EBITDA improvement in an oversupplied market by focusing on the variables within our control, namely reducing costs and improving operating performance," said Arsen Kitch, president and chief executive officer. "Our team did a great job defending our market position and strengthening relationships with strategic customers."

    OVERALL FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR RESULTS

    Net sales were $386 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, flat compared to fourth quarter 2024 net sales of $387 million. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $38 million, or $2.39 per diluted share compared to $199 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, or $11.91 per diluted per share which included a $307 million of gain on sale of the tissue division ($218 million after tax). Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $20 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $9 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by higher sales volumes, our planned cost reduction activities, lower input costs and insurance proceeds, partially offset by lower pricing.

    Net sales were $1.6 billion for 2025, an increase of 12% compared to 2024 net sales of $1.4 billion. Net loss for 2025 was $19 million, or a loss of $1.15 per diluted share, compared to net income of $196 million for 2024, or $11.70 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $107 million for 2025 compared to $36 million for 2024. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was driven by our planned cost reduction activities and lower input costs, partially offset by lower pricing.

    Sales Volumes and Prices:

    • Sales volumes were 317,715 tons in the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of 4% compared to 306,692 tons in the fourth quarter of 2024. Sales volumes were 1,236,114 tons for the year ended 2025, an increase of 14% compared to 1,080,898 tons for the year ended 2024.
    • Paperboard average net selling price decreased 3% to $1,139 per ton for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $1,177 per ton in the fourth quarter of 2024. Paperboard average net selling price decreased 4% to $1,167 per ton for the year ended 2025, compared to $1,210 per ton for the year ended 2024.

    COMPANY OUTLOOK

    In early 2026, the company experienced production disruptions and higher operating costs due to severe weather affecting its Augusta and Cypress Bend facilities. To date, these events have resulted in an estimated $20 million reduction in Adjusted EBITDA.

    "Current industry oversupply and the resulting operating rates are leading to margins that cannot sustain long term investments in our industry's capital intensive assets. We believe that a combination of demand growth, lower imports, and changes in domestic supply will lead to a recovery in the medium term and put us on a path towards cross-cycle margin levels and cash flows," concluded Kitch.

    WEBCAST INFORMATION

    Clearwater Paper Corporation will discuss these results during an earnings conference call that begins at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time on February 18, 2026. A live webcast and accompanying supplemental information will be available on the company's website. A replay of the conference call will be available on the website beginning at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time the same day.

    USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

    In this press release, the company presents certain non-GAAP financial information for the quarters and years ended 2025 and 2024, including adjusted net income (loss) from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations. Because these amounts are not in accordance with GAAP, reconciliations to net income (loss) from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as determined in accordance with GAAP are included in the tables at the end of this press release. The company presents these non-GAAP metrics because management believes they assist investors and analysts in comparing the company's performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that the company does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance. In addition, the company uses Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations: (i) as a factor in evaluating management's performance when determining incentive compensation, (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of the company's business strategies, and (iii) because the company's credit agreement and the indentures governing the company's outstanding notes use metrics similar to Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to measure the company's compliance with certain covenants. Non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures of other companies.

    FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

    This press release contains certain "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of Section 27A of Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 as amended, including statements regarding the company's expectations about industry supply and demand conditions, pricing trends, market recovery timing, operating performance, cost reduction initiatives, operational execution, capital allocation priorities, liquidity, maintenance and capital expenditure levels, share repurchases, and the company's ability to execute its strategy and strengthen customer relationships amid current market conditions. The company's actual results of operations may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. Factors that could cause or contribute to such material differences in actual results include, but are not limited to: our inability to realize the expected benefits of the Augusta, Georgia paperboard manufacturing facility acquisition, including anticipated financial results, due to integration challenges or other factors; unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the sale of our consumer products division (tissue business) and the related restructuring initiatives; competitive pricing pressures for our products arising from capacity additions, demand reduction and market conditions; the loss of, changes in prices for, or reduction in, orders from significant customers; changes in customer preferences, industry consolidation and vertical integration; changes in the cost and availability of wood fiber, pulp, energy, chemicals, packaging and transportation services; cyclical industry conditions and broader U.S. and global economic conditions; manufacturing or operating disruptions; labor disruptions; reliance on a limited number of suppliers and service providers; cyber-security risks; environmental liabilities and litigation, including PFAS-related claims involving our Augusta facility; our ability to execute our growth, expansion and operational efficiency initiatives and capital projects; changes in expenses, required contributions or withdrawal costs associated with our pension plans; our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; our ability to service our debt obligations and comply with debt covenants; changes in banking relationships or credit ratings; and changes in laws, regulations or industry standards affecting our business, as well as other risks discussed in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this press release and the company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements based on new developments or changes in the company's expectations after the date of this press release.
