Adjusted EBITDA declined to $60 million from $82 million, with margin narrowing to 7% from 10%. Europe narrowed losses on lower maintenance costs, while Latin America and North America saw lower operating profit due to higher input and distribution costs and lower volumes, including the impact of the Riverdale mill supply agreement termination and inventory builds ahead of an extended Eastover outage.
Operating cash flow for the first half of 2026 dropped to $28 million from $87 million, and free cash flow was a negative $82 million after $110 million of capital spending, including strategic Eastover investments expected to add 60,000 tons of annual capacity. Long-term debt increased to $843 million after refinancing into a new 2032 term loan and additional revolver usage; the company paid $36 million in dividends and ended June with $123 million in cash and $320 million of unused revolver capacity.

The reported effective tax rate was 1200%, primarily driven by a $12 million valuation allowance on certain foreign deferred tax assets tied to a planned internal merger; the effective operational tax rate was 80%. The board declared a $0.45 per-share dividend for the third quarter, paid on July 28.
