Rayonier Advanced Materials Announces First Quarter 2021 Results and Strategic Update
Rayonier Advanced Materials (NYSE:RYAM) reported a loss from continuing operations for Q1 2021 of $27 million, or $0.43 per share, compared to a $25 million loss in Q1 2020. The decline was attributed to higher tax expenses but offset by increased lumber prices and stronger sales in High Purity Cellulose. The company announced the sale of its lumber and newsprint assets to GreenFirst for $214 million, which will help reduce debt and reinvest in core operations. Q1 net sales totaled $465 million, driven by strong performance in High Purity Cellulose and Forest Products segments.
- Net sales in Q1 2021 totaled $465 million, an increase from $410 million in Q1 2020.
- Forest Products segment operating income improved by $62 million from Q1 2020, due to a 118% increase in lumber prices.
- High Purity Cellulose operating income improved by $11 million year-over-year.
- Successful strategic sale of lumber and newsprint assets for $214 million, enabling debt reduction and reinvestment.
- Loss from continuing operations increased to $27 million in Q1 2021 from $25 million in Q1 2020.
- Operating loss in Corporate segment increased by $7 million compared to the prior year.

“As expected, first quarter operating results were significantly favorable to both the prior year and sequential quarter. The primary driver was a surge in lumber prices, which is expected to continue in the second quarter before moderating later in the year. We also captured higher value from our core High Purity Cellulose business and improved margins in our Paperboard and Pulp & Newsprint segments,” said Paul Boynton, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Recently, we also announced the strategic sale of our lumber and newsprint assets to GreenFirst Forest Products for

Income Taxes
The effective tax rate expense for the for the first quarter of 2021 was 172 percent compared to a benefit rate of 6 percent in the same period of 2020. The 2021 effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate of 21 percent primarily due to Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”) on foreign earnings, disallowed interest deductions in the U.S., and different statutory tax rates of foreign operations. The application of GILTI effectively results in double book taxation of the majority of the Company’s high Canadian earnings. The Company currently expects minimal cash taxes to be paid in 2021 or 2022 as a result of 2021 earnings.

Market Assessment
The market assessment represents the Company’s best current estimate of each business in this environment.
High Purity Cellulose
Pricing levels for the Company’s commodity products increased during the first quarter and are forecasted to increase further in the second quarter. Prices for cellulose specialties declined slightly and in line with expectations for the full year. Total High Purity Cellulose volumes are expected to remain stable for the full year, however, we expect a more favorable mix towards cellulose specialties. The annual maintenance outage at the Jesup facility in the second quarter is currently ongoing.
Key costs, including energy and commodity chemical prices have increased rapidly during the first quarter and remain difficult to predict. The Company remains committed to investing in this core business to reduce costs, improve reliability and provide new platforms for growth. The sale of the lumber and newsprint assets discussed below will provide the Company with a key opportunity to reinvest in its core high purity cellulose business and its BioFuture.
Forest Products
On April 12, 2021, the Company announced the sale of its lumber and newsprint assets. See Subsequent Event section below for a more detailed description.
Prices for lumber continue to strengthen to record levels driven by the exceptional demand in the U.S housing market and high levels of repair and remodel activity. Housing starts in March 2021 reached 1.7 million units, seasonally adjusted, while building permits reached 1.8 million. The Company is focused on ensuring reliable operations and capturing the benefit of high lumber prices through completion of the sale, which is expected in the second half of 2021.
Paperboard
Paperboard prices have increased 5 percent from fourth quarter and are expected to increase further, helping offset increases in raw material cost.
Pulp & Newsprint
As previously stated, on April 12, 2021, the Company announced the sale of its lumber and newsprint assets. See Subsequent Event section below for a more detailed description.
High-yield pulp and newsprint markets have experienced price increases during the first quarter and additional price increases are expected in the near-term. Additionally, the Company continues to manage production at the newsprint facility to minimize costs and improve sales mix while experiencing early success in the expansion of the Envirosmart™ food service bag, which targets the quick service restaurant end-market and used for items such as sandwiches and to-go orders.
Subsequent Events
Sale of lumber and newsprint assets
On April 12, 2021, the Company announced the sale of its lumber and newsprint facilities and certain related assets (the “Purchased Assets”) located in Ontario and Québec Canada to GreenFirst Forest Products, Inc. (“GreenFirst”), for approximately
The Purchased Assets include the Company’s six lumber facilities, newsprint facility, inventory and certain real property, machinery, inventory, permits, leases, licenses, pension assets and liabilities and other related assets associated with the successful operations of these businesses. Other assets and liabilities, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, certain retained inventory and rights to softwood lumber duties, generated or incurred through the closing date, are excluded. Since 2017, the Company has paid a total of
In connection with the transaction, the Company will enter into a 20-yr wood chip and residual fiber supply agreement with GreenFirst, securing supply for the Company’s operations at the Temiscaming plant. Additionally, the parties entered into a Transition Services Agreement ("TSA") whereby the Company will provide certain transitional services to GreenFirst, for a period of time following the closing of the transaction, not to exceed twelve months from such date. The TSA includes support related to information technology, accounting, treasury, human resources and payroll, tax, supply chain and procurement functions. Costs incurred by the Company associated with the TSA will be reimbursed by GreenFirst.
As of March 27, 2021, the carrying value of the net assets included in the transaction was

Final Settlement Reached in Dispute with IESO Relating to Investigation of the Kapuskasing Newsprint Facility
The Company had previously been engaged in litigation with the Market Assessment and Compliance Division (“MACD”) branch of the Independent Electricity System Operator (“IESO”) regarding their investigations into the Company's compliance with the published rules that govern the operation of the wholesale electricity market in Ontario, Canada. On April 19, 2021, the Company and the IESO entered into Minutes of Settlement (“MOS”) pursuant to which the parties agreed to fully and finally settle all claims relating to their investigations. As part of the settlement, the Company agreed to a fixed obligation to pay a sum of CAD
Given the parties’ finalization of and entry into the MOS, the Company considers this matter concluded (subject only to the parties’ obligations yet to be performed under the MOS).
Growing RYAM’s BioFuture
Upon the consummation of the sale of the lumber and newsprint assets, the Company will be focusing on and investing in leveraging its four high purity cellulose plants as biorefineries. The Company believes it is in a unique position, starting with natural, renewably sourced feedstock, to capitalize on the global demand for more sustainable products with its leading cellulose specialties offerings as alternatives for petroleum-based incumbents and specialized assets capable of generating green fuels, bioelectricity and other biomaterials. The Company has executed on several high return projects to enhance the value of these assets, including recent investments in green energy in Tartas, France. Additionally, TemSilk™, a new product being produced in Temiscaming, Quebec, is a critical input in the production of Lyocell, a more sustainable textile. The Company is also a lead investor in Anomera, Inc. (“Anomera”), a Canadian start-up corporation headquartered in Montreal, Quebec. Anomera manufactures Carboxylated Cellulose Nanocrystals (CNC), a patented, biodegradable product, with uses in the cosmetics industry and various other industrial applications, including concrete, inks and pigments, polymer composites, coatings and adhesives industries. The investment in Anomera provides a new platform for cellulose specialties as the Company leverages the combined knowledge of cellulose chemistry to develop new markets for cellulose. The Company will seek further opportunities to leverage its core knowledge of creating the remarkable from the renewable to drive incremental value in its BioFuture.
Conclusion
"With prices currently rising in all of our commodity products, we expect to maintain earnings momentum into the second quarter which will further improve cash flow and liquidity. Additionally, we will capture all earnings in our lumber and newsprint assets until the closing, anticipated in the second half of the year. As we grow our cash balances through the year, we will look to both repay debt and reinvest in our BioFuture to capture incremental margins and drive shareholder value.” concluded Mr. Boynton.

If any of the events described in the following risk factors actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results, as well as the market price of our securities, could be materially adversely affected. These risks and events include, without limitation: Epidemic and Pandemic Risks Our businesses are subject to risks associated with epidemics and pandemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic and related impacts. The nature and extent of ongoing and future impacts of the pandemic are highly uncertain and unpredictable. Macroeconomic and Industry Risks The businesses we operate are highly competitive and many of them are cyclical, which may result in fluctuations in pricing and volume that can adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations; Changes in raw material and energy availability and prices could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations; We are subject to risks associated with doing business outside of the United States; Currency fluctuations may have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations; Restrictions on trade through tariffs, countervailing and anti-dumping duties, quotas and other trade barriers, in the United States and internationally, could adversely affect our ability to access certain markets.

Regulatory Risks Our business is subject to extensive environmental laws, regulations and permits that may restrict or adversely affect our financial results and how we conduct business; The potential longer-term impacts of climate-related risks remain uncertain at this time. Financial Risks We may need to make significant additional cash contributions to our retirement benefit plans if investment returns on pension assets are lower than expected or interest rates decline, and/or due to changes to regulatory, accounting and actuarial requirements; We have significant debt obligations that could adversely affect our business and our ability to meet our obligations; The phase-out of LIBOR as an interest rate benchmark in 2023 may impact our borrowing costs; Challenges in the commercial and credit environments may materially adversely affect our future access to capital; We may need additional financing in the future to meet our capital needs or to make acquisitions, and such financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all, and may be dilutive to existing stockholders. Company’s Common Stock and Certain Corporate Matters Risks Your percentage of ownership in the Company may be diluted in the future; Certain provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and of Delaware law, could prevent or delay an acquisition of the Company, which could decrease the price of our common stock.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release and the accompanying schedules contain certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted free cash flows, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted net debt. These non-GAAP measures are reconciled to each of their respective most directly comparable GAAP financial measures beginning on Schedule D of this earnings release. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to our board of directors, management and investors regarding certain trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, purposes of determining management incentive compensation and budgeting, forecasting and planning purposes.
We do not consider these non-GAAP measures an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitations of these non-GAAP financial measures are that they may exclude significant expenses and income items that are required by GAAP to be recognized in our consolidated financial statements. In addition, they reflect the exercise of management’s judgment about which expenses and income items are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management provides reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures we use to their most directly comparable GAAP measures. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon, in whole or part, in evaluating the financial condition, results of operations or future prospects of the Company.
