“While we are currently experiencing challenging SBS industry conditions, we remain confident in the long-term fundamentals of paperboard packaging. We are taking actions to reduce our costs to ensure that we deliver strong cash flows regardless of where we are in the industry cycle. We used proceeds from the sale of our tissue business to de-lever our balance sheet and position ourselves to take advantage of opportunities to grow and diversify our paperboard product portfolio.”

USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
In this press release, the company presents certain non-GAAP financial information for the third quarter and first nine months of 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.
