Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc. (RYAM) reported Q1 2024 results with net sales at $388 million, net loss of $2 million, and Adjusted EBITDA at $52 million. Total debt stands at $779 million. The company reaffirmed its 2024 EBITDA guidance and increased Free Cash Flow guidance. RYAM is on track to meet its full-year guidance despite the suspension of operations at the Temiscaming High Purity Cellulose plant and the sale of refund rights to OCP Lumber The Company is focused on debt reduction and strategic initiatives.
RYAM exceeded Q1 expectations with $52 million in Adjusted EBITDA, maintaining a solid financial position.
Increased capital expenditures support growth in Biomaterials strategy, keeping the Company on track to meet 2024 guidance.
Start-up of bioethanol facility in Tartas and maintenance outage in Jesup contribute to positive outlook for the year.
Net sales decreased by $79 million from the prior year, while net loss increased by $4 million.
The suspension of operations at the Temiscaming High Purity Cellulose plant will result in one-time charges and non-cash impairments in 2024.
The sale of refund rights may provide additional cash flow, but the outcomes are contingent upon the trade dispute between USDOC and Canada.

Income Taxes
The effective tax benefit rate for the quarter ended March 30, 2024 was 30 percent. The 2024 effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate of 21 percent primarily due to the release of certain tax reserves, partially offset by return-to-accrual adjustments, excess deficit on vested stock compensation and changes in the valuation allowance on disallowed interest deductions.
The effective tax rate for the quarter ended April 1, 2023 was not meaningful due to near break-even pretax income for the period, which results in any discrete tax adjustments significantly impacting the rate. The largest adjustments creating a difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate of 21 percent were an excess tax benefit on vested stock compensation and return-to-accrual adjustments related to previously filed tax returns.

In January 2024, the Company amended the 2027 Term Loan to increase the maximum consolidated secured net leverage ratio that it must maintain beginning in the fourth quarter of 2023 and through its 2024 fiscal year. The amendment provides the Company with the operational flexibility to execute its strategic initiatives in 2024. Should the Company exceed the 4.50 to 1.00 maximum ratio established by the original agreement in any of these quarters, it will incur a fee of
As of March 30, 2024, the Company’s consolidated secured net leverage ratio was 4.4 times covenant EBITDA.
2024 Outlook
In October 2023, the Company announced that it is exploring the potential sale of its Paperboard and High-Yield Pulp assets located at its Temiscaming site. The potential sale is consistent with the Company’s commitment to align its portfolio with its long-term growth strategy and provide flexibility to pay down debt, reduce leverage and minimize earnings volatility. The sales process is progressing, albeit slower than originally anticipated, as buyers work through the complexity of carving out these assets from existing operations and consider the impact of the indefinite suspension of the Temiscaming High Purity Cellulose plant. While the suspension and asset sale decisions affecting the Temiscaming site have been approached and carried out independently, the Company believes the suspension will bring clarity to the asset sale diligence process by validating that these assets can be efficiently run separately.
The indefinite suspension of operations at the Temiscaming High Purity Cellulose plant, announced on April 29, 2024, is anticipated to mitigate the plant’s ongoing operating losses and high capital needs and improve the Company’s consolidated free cash flow. The Company realized an

The following market assessment represents the Company’s current outlook of its business segments’ future performance.
High Purity Cellulose
Average sales prices for cellulose specialties in 2024 are expected to increase by a low single-digit percentage as compared to average sales prices in 2023 as the Company prioritizes value over volume. Sales volumes for cellulose specialties are expected to be comparable to 2023 driven by increased volumes from the closure of a competitor’s plant and a modest increase in ethers sales, offset by a one-time favorable impact from a change in customer contract terms in the prior year quarter and customer destocking in the acetate markets. Demand for RYAM commodity products remains stable as prices are expected to be flat to 2023, despite a difficult comparison to the first quarter of 2023. Commodity sales volumes are expected to decline in 2024 as the Company suspends operations at its Temiscaming High Purity Cellulose plant for the second half of 2024. Costs are expected to be lower in 2024 driven by lower key input and logistics costs, improved productivity and the indefinite suspension of operations at the Temiscaming High Purity Cellulose plant. The Company’s bioethanol facility in Tartas,
Paperboard
Paperboard prices in 2024 are expected to remain relatively stable compared to the first quarter of 2024, while sales volumes are expected to improve due to improved customer demand. Raw material prices are expected to increase as purchased pulp prices are forecast to increase from the first quarter 2024 levels. Overall, EBITDA is expected to increase sequentially.
High-Yield Pulp
High-Yield Pulp prices are expected to improve slightly in the second quarter and increase further in the second half of 2024, while sales volumes are expected to remain stable sequentially and then increase in the second half of 2024. Overall, the Company expects to generate positive EBITDA from this segment in the coming quarter.
Corporate
Corporate costs are expected to be flat or increase slightly in 2024 as the Company continues its ERP implementation. The project will enhance the Company’s operating and reporting systems and is expected to drive additional improvements and efficiencies beginning in 2025.
Biomaterials Strategy
The Company continues to invest in new products to provide both increased end market diversity and incremental profitability. These new products will target the growing green energy and products markets. The successful shipment of the Company’s first production of 2G bioethanol from its Tartas,

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release and the accompanying schedules contain certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted free cash flow, adjusted net income, adjusted net debt and net secured debt. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to its Board of Directors, management and investors regarding its financial condition and results of operations. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to compare its performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, to determine management incentive compensation and for budgeting, forecasting and planning purposes.
The Company does not consider these non-GAAP financial measures an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they may exclude significant expense and income items that are required by GAAP to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, they reflect the exercise of management’s judgment about which expense and income items are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided below. Non-GAAP financial measures are not necessarily indicative of results that may be generated in future periods and should not be relied upon, in whole or part, in evaluating the financial condition, results of operations or future prospects of the Company.
