QUARTERLY REVIEW

“Our pulp price momentum continued in the quarter following the implementation of several price increases,” said John D. Williams, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Productivity was strong, resulting in good cost performance despite the high level of scheduled major maintenance outages at several pulp and paper mills. Notably, Ashdown had an excellent operating quarter and continued to make significant strides on increasing production of fluff pulp. Customer qualifications continue to progress well and we are on track to ramp-up to approximately 50% fluff pulp sales by year-end.”

Mr. Williams added, “In spite of competitive market pressures, we delivered a solid performance in Personal Care. We continued to show broad-based, year-over-year volume growth across most of our product channels, while benefits from our cost savings and efficiency improvement projects partially offset price erosion. We expect to continue to invest in innovation, marketing and targeted growth initiatives to capture the opportunities in our categories and geographies.”

Operating income was $64 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to operating income of $42 million in the first quarter of 2017. Depreciation and amortization totaled $79 million in the second quarter of 2017.

Operating income before items1 was $64 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to an operating income before items1 of $42 million in the first quarter of 2017.

The increase in operating income in the second quarter of 2017 was the result of higher average selling prices for pulp, lower raw material costs, favorable productivity and lower maintenance costs. These factors were partially offset by lower volume, higher selling, general and administrative expenses, and higher freight costs.

When compared to the first quarter of 2017, manufactured paper shipments were down 6% and pulp shipments decreased 15%. The shipments-to-production ratio for paper was 98% in the second quarter of 2017, compared to 105% in the first quarter of 2017. Paper inventories increased by 18,000 tons and pulp inventories increased by 33,000 metric tons when compared to the first quarter of 2017.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to $121 million and capital expenditures were $37 million, resulting in free cash flow1 of $84 million for the second quarter of 2017. Domtar’s net debt-to-total capitalization ratio1 stood at 28% at June 30, 2017 compared to 30% at March 31, 2017.

OUTLOOK

For the remainder of the year, we expect our paper shipments to be in-line with market demand. Our pulp shipments should be higher due to the ramp-up of the Ashdown fluff pulp line, while mix should continue to improve as we convert more volume to fluff pulp. In Personal Care, investments in advertising and promotion in addition to new customer wins should drive higher sales, while raw material costs are expected to increase marginally.

Quarterly Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(In millions of dollars, unless otherwise noted)

 

The following table sets forth certain non-U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) financial metrics identified in bold as “Earnings before items”, “Earnings before items per diluted share”, “EBITDA”, “EBITDA margin”, “EBITDA before items”, “EBITDA margin before items”, “Free cash flow”, “Net debt” and “Net debt-to-total capitalization”. Management believes that the financial metrics are useful to understand our operating performance and benchmark with peers within the industry. The Company calculates “Earnings before items” and “EBITDA before items” by excluding the after-tax (pre-tax) effect of specified items. These metrics are presented as a complement to enhance the understanding of operating results but not in substitution for GAAP results.

“Earnings before items”, “Earnings before items per diluted share”, “EBITDA”, “EBITDA margin”, “EBITDA before items”, “EBITDA margin before items”, “Free cash flow”, “Net debt” and “Net debt-to-total capitalization” have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and therefore should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for Net earnings, Operating income or any other earnings statement, cash flow statement or balance sheet financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. It is important for readers to understand that certain items may be presented in different lines by different companies on their financial statements, thereby leading to different measures for different companies.

Quarterly Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures – By Segment 2017

(In millions of dollars, unless otherwise noted)

 

The following table sets forth certain non-U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) financial metrics identified in bold as “Operating income (loss) before items”, “EBITDA before items” and “EBITDA margin before items” by reportable segment. Management believes that the financial metrics are useful to understand our operating performance and benchmark with peers within the industry. The Company calculates the segmented “Operating income (loss) before items” by excluding the pre-tax effect of specified items. These metrics are presented as a complement to enhance the understanding of operating results but not in substitution for GAAP results.

“Operating income (loss) before items”, “EBITDA before items” and “EBITDA margin before items” have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and therefore should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for Operating income (loss) or any other earnings statement, cash flow statement or balance sheet financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. It is important for readers to understand that certain items may be presented in different lines by different companies on their financial statements, thereby leading to different measures for different companies.
