(2) Reflects amounts for the six months ended June 30, 2026, rather than the second quarter.

•Received $1.1 billion of net proceeds from the sale of our Global Cellulose Fibers ("GCF") business and used a portion of those proceeds to pay down $660 million of debt
The Company’s first quarter results reinforced the importance of discipline around controllable costs in a dynamic operating environment. Renewed pressures stemming from macroeconomic developments, coupled with the impact of severe winter weather events, resulted in higher operating costs. Revenues …
In North America, adjusted EBITDA was sequentially lower, driven by normal seasonal volume declines and the impacts of a severe winter storm, partially offset by higher export pricing and productivity improvements. Commercial volumes, although down sequentially, reflected above‑market growth with bo…
In EMEA, adjusted EBITDA was sequentially lower, primarily due to higher costs, partially offset by expanded packaging margins and moderately higher volumes. Despite a challenging and dynamic macroeconomic environment, the Company continued to execute its strategy and mitigate near‑term volatility i…
Looking ahead, we expect adjusted EBITDA to be sequentially lower in the second quarter across both regions.

How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
