Welcome to our dedicated page for Rayonier Advanced Matls SEC filings (Ticker: RYAM), a comprehensive resource for investors and traders seeking official regulatory documents including 10-K annual reports, 10-Q quarterly earnings, 8-K material events, and insider trading forms.
Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc. filings document the regulatory record of a Delaware operating company with common stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange under RYAM. Its Form 8-K filings cover operating results, financial-condition disclosures, Regulation FD updates, project and capital-allocation decisions, executive departures, board changes and compensatory arrangements.
The company’s proxy materials describe board oversight, stockholder meeting matters, director nominees, executive compensation design, succession planning and incentive metrics tied to operating performance and cash flow. Filing exhibits and material-event reports also record security registration details, governance changes and capital-structure information relevant to the company’s cellulose, pulp, paperboard and biomaterials operations.
Rayonier Advanced Materials reported a much wider loss in Q1 2026 as it permanently idled part of its Temiscaming operations. Net sales fell to $319 million from $353 million, and net loss attributable to RYAM widened to $81.6 million, or $(1.22) per share.
Operating loss increased to $65 million, driven by $41 million of non-cash Temiscaming HPC permanent idling charges and weaker cellulose specialties and paperboard demand. Despite this, the company generated $32 million of operating cash flow, spent $20 million on net capital expenditures and ended the quarter with $68 million of cash and $763 million of debt, a 77% debt-to-capital ratio. Management still targets higher 2026 EBITDA than 2025 and positive free cash flow.
Rayonier Advanced Materials (RYAM) reported a weak first quarter for the period ended March 28, 2026, with net sales of $319 million, down from $353 million a year earlier. The company posted a net loss of $81 million, or $(1.22) per share, versus a $32 million loss, driven largely by $41 million of non-cash charges from permanently idling dissolving wood pulp production at its Temiscaming high purity cellulose plant.
Adjusted EBITDA fell to $8 million from $17 million, reflecting lower cellulose specialties volumes, softer commodity pricing and higher labor and maintenance costs, partly offset by lower wood and energy costs and a $4 million insurance recovery. Despite the loss, RYAM generated $32 million of cash from operating activities and $12 million of adjusted free cash flow, ended the quarter with $160 million of liquidity and carried $763 million of total debt, resulting in a 4.3x covenant net secured leverage ratio.
Management called 2026 a transition year but said it still expects full-year EBITDA above 2025 and positive free cash flow. The company is also conducting a review of a range of strategic and financial alternatives, prompted in part by unsolicited indications of interest, while continuing to execute its standalone operating plan.
Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc. reported that Sutton resigned as a member of its Board of Directors and also withdrew as a director nominee for the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The filing does not describe any change to the Company’s operations or financial results.
Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc. is launching a formal strategic alternatives review and has changed its top leadership. President and CEO Scott M. Sutton resigned effective April 16, 2026. The Board created an interim Office of the Chief Executive Officer, led by four senior executives, with CFO Marcus J. Moeltner serving as interim principal executive officer.
The Board is exploring a wide range of potential strategic, business and financial options, including a possible sale of all or part of the Company, strategic investments, mergers or other business combinations, or continuing its standalone plan. The review follows unsolicited indications of interest. RYAM reported $1.5 billion of revenue in 2025. The Board has not set a timetable and cautions there is no assurance the process will result in any transaction.
Rayonier Advanced Materials issues its 2026 proxy statement for the May 13, 2026 annual meeting, outlining director elections, governance changes and executive pay design. The Board acknowledges that 2025 financial performance fell well short of expectations and that restoring sustainable profitability and cash flow is the immediate priority.
To reinforce accountability, the Board approved a 2026 annual incentive plan tied solely to EBITDA and free cash flow and continues to use non-GAAP metrics such as Adjusted EBITDA with reconciliations provided. For 2025, the company missed threshold Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Operating Cash Flow targets, so no annual cash incentives were funded despite achieving all three strategic objectives.
Stockholders are asked to elect three Class III directors (including new CEO Scott Sutton), approve amendments to declassify the Board and eliminate supermajority voting provisions, support Say‑on‑Pay, approve a French sub‑plan under the 2023 incentive plan, and ratify Grant Thornton as auditor. The proxy highlights strong governance features, including an independent Chair, 89% independent directors in 2025, majority voting, stock ownership requirements, anti‑hedging/pledging policies, robust succession planning and active shareholder engagement.
Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc ownership update: The Vanguard Group filed Amendment No. 11 to a Schedule 13G/A reporting 0 shares beneficially owned and 0% of the class following an internal realignment effective 01/12/2026. The amendment was signed on 03/27/2026.
The filing explains certain Vanguard subsidiaries now report ownership separately in accordance with SEC Release No. 34-39538; Vanguard states those subsidiaries pursue the same investment strategies previously used.
Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc. is asking stockholders to vote at its 2026 Annual Meeting on May 13, 2026. The Chair acknowledges that 2025 financial performance fell short and the Board prioritized restoring profitability and cash flow, linking 2026 annual incentives to EBITDA and free cash flow.
