USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
In this press release, the company presents certain non-GAAP financial information for the quarter and years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, including Adjusted EBITDA from total operations which includes both continuing and discontinued operations and net sales from total operations which includes both continuing and discontinued. Because these amounts are not in accordance with GAAP, reconciliations to net income 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 total 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 total operations to measure the company's compliance with certain covenants.
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 recent sale of the company’s consumer products division (tissue business); the company’s expectations regarding paperboard demand; the company’s paperboard strategy, including the company’s plans to grow the company’s paperboard business; the company’s expectation that paperboard represents the best opportunity for steady and sustainable value creation; cost structure improvements and cost saving initiatives; the company’s continued investment in the company’s business; and the company’s ability to take advantage of strategic opportunities as they arise. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections that are subject to change. 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: there may be unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the recent tissue business sale transaction, including purchase price adjustments; competitive responses to the recent tissue business sale transaction; achievement of anticipated financial results and other benefits of the recent tissue business sale transaction; potential risks associated with operating without the tissue business, including less diversification in products offered; changes in the company’s capital structure; there may be stockholder litigation in connection with the recent tissue business sale transaction or the acquisition of the
