Clearwater Paper Corporation reports a transformed business focused entirely on Solid Bleached Sulfate paperboard after two major 2024 transactions. It bought the Augusta, Georgia paperboard mill and related assets for about $710.6 million and sold its tissue division for $1.06 billion in cash.
The company repurchased $17.2 million of stock in 2025, with $79.5 million still authorized, and had 16,038,485 shares outstanding as of February 17, 2026. Clearwater estimates it holds roughly 11% of North American paperboard capacity, with 1,420,000 tons of annual capacity across three mills.
Management highlights climate goals, targeting a 30% cut in Scope 1 and 2 emissions and 25% in Scope 3 by 2030, and notes substantial exposure to cyclical demand, increased SBS supply, customer concentration (top 10 customers were 46% of 2025 sales), raw material and energy costs, labor relations, cybersecurity, and environmental regulation, including PFAS-related litigation tied to the Augusta facility.
Clearwater Paper reported 2025 net sales of $1.6 billion, up 12% from 2024, driven by a 14% increase in paperboard volumes, mainly from running the Augusta mill for a full year. Despite this, it recorded a $53 million net loss from continuing operations, or -$3.28 per diluted share, largely due to a $48 million non-cash goodwill impairment.
Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations rose sharply to $107.2 million from $36.0 million, helped by over $50 million in fixed-cost reductions, including $16 million of SG&A savings, and lower input costs, partially offset by weaker pricing. In Q4 2025, net sales were $386.4 million, essentially flat year over year, while Adjusted EBITDA improved to $19.8 million from $9.5 million.
The company highlighted severe early-2026 weather at its Augusta and Cypress Bend facilities, estimating around a $20 million hit to Adjusted EBITDA, and guided to roughly breakeven Adjusted EBITDA in Q1 2026. For 2026, it assumes revenue of $1.4–$1.5 billion, capacity utilization in the mid-80% range, major maintenance costs of $45–$50 million, and capital expenditures of $65–$75 million, while targeting working capital improvements and maintaining a net leverage ratio near 2.5x.
