Business 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 Company remains committed to pursuing a sale of these assets at a fair price.
In July 2024, the Company indefinitely suspended operations at its Temiscaming HPC plant. This plan is expected to mitigate high capital needs and operating losses related to exposure to commodity viscose products and improve the Company’s consolidated free cash flow; however, future operational loss reductions will be partially offset by continuing custodial site expenses. In connection with the suspension of operations, the Company has incurred one-time operating charges, including mothballing and severance and other employee costs, of
In October 2024, an isolated fire occurred at the Company’s
The Company expects to generate
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 continues to prioritize value over volume. Sales volumes for cellulose specialties are expected to increase compared to 2023 driven by increased volumes from the closure of a competitor’s plant, a modest increase in ethers demand and additional volume sold to customers affected by the indefinite suspension of Temiscaming HPC operations, partially offset by a one-time favorable impact from a change in customer contract terms in the prior year first quarter, customer destocking in the acetate markets and reduced sales related to the fire in
Looking forward to 2025, the Company announced price increases of up to 10 percent for its cellulose specialties products, as contracts allow, and expects higher margins for cellulose specialties in the coming year. The Company expects to continue reducing its exposure to non-fluff commodities in 2025.
Paperboard
Paperboard prices are expected to decrease in the fourth quarter while sales volumes are expected to increase. Raw material prices are expected to increase compared to the third quarter. Overall, the Company expects a decline in EBITDA from this segment in the coming quarters as market pressure continues with new competitive supply coming online in 2025.
High-Yield Pulp
High-Yield Pulp prices are expected to decline in the fourth quarter, while sales volumes are expected to increase significantly due to timing of shipments. Overall, the Company expects to incur a loss in EBITDA from this segment in the coming quarter due to the decline in sales prices. Current pricing is expected to remain low in the coming quarters.
Corporate
Corporate costs are expected to decrease in the fourth quarter subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
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 renewable product markets. Current projects include:
-
The Company’s bioethanol facility in Tartas,
France is operating to available feedstock and represents a significant milestone towards the Company’s goal of generating of annual EBITDA from all of RYAM’s future biomaterial products in 2027.$42 million -
The Company has submitted notice of its GRAS (generally recognized as safe) self-certification for a prebiotics product to the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration and continues to move forward with plans for a bioethanol facility in Fernandina. -
The Company’s involvement in AGE (Altamaha Green Energy), a company that aims to utilize renewable forestry waste and other biomass generally discarded as waste to generate sustainable electricity for the state of
Georgia . While still in the development phase, the project achieved a significant milestone when AGE was recently awarded a Purchase Power Agreement to sell electricity to Georgia Power Company. Additional information regarding the progress of this project will be shared in 2025.
The Company is also advancing various other projects and expects to secure financing for many of these projects in the coming quarter.

These forward-looking statements are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “estimate,” “target,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “guidance” and other similar language. However, the absence of these or similar words or expressions does not mean a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and undue reliance should not be placed on these statements. Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that these expectations will be attained, and it is possible that actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties. All statements made in this earnings release are made only as of the date set forth at the beginning of this release. The Company undertakes no obligation to update the information made in this release in the event facts or circumstances subsequently change after the date of this release. The Company has not filed its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 28, 2024. As a result, all financial results described in this earnings release should be considered preliminary, and are subject to change to reflect any necessary adjustments or changes in accounting estimates, that are identified prior to the time the Company files its Form 10-Q.
The Company’s operations are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, those listed below. When considering an investment in the Company’s securities, you should carefully read and consider these risks, together with all other information in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings and submissions to the SEC, which provide more information and detail on the risks described below.

The Company is subject to risks associated with epidemics and pandemics, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The businesses the Company operates are highly competitive and many of them are cyclical, which may result in fluctuations in pricing and volume that can materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

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.
