Rayonier Advanced Materials (NYSE:RYAM) and the United Steel Workers Union (USW) have filed antidumping and countervailing duty petitions against Brazil and Norway regarding High Purity Dissolving Pulp (HPDP) imports. The petitions allege dumping margins up to 168% for Brazil and 226% for Norway, along with potential subsidies from 30 Brazilian government programs.

The action aims to protect U.S. HPDP production facilities in Jesup, Georgia and Fernandina Beach, Florida from unfair trade practices. The petitions cite the recent job losses at Georgia-Pacific's Foley Cellulose Plant as evidence of import impact. The U.S. Department of Commerce and International Trade Commission will investigate, with preliminary findings expected within 45 days.

Rayonier Advanced Materials (NYSE:RYAM) reported Q2 2025 results with net sales of $340 million and a loss from continuing operations of $366 million, largely due to a $337 million non-cash Canadian deferred tax asset write-off. The company generated Adjusted EBITDA of $28 million and maintains total debt of $746 million.

RYAM revised its 2025 guidance, now expecting Adjusted EBITDA of $150-160 million and Adjusted Free Cash Flow of $(10)-$(25) million. Despite near-term challenges including tariff volatility and operational disruptions, management remains confident in their long-term strategy to achieve over $300 million in run-rate EBITDA by 2027.

The company reorganized its High Purity Cellulose segment into three businesses: Cellulose Specialties, Biomaterials, and Cellulose Commodities. Plans include positioning Paperboard and High-Yield Pulp businesses for divestiture in 2026.
