I'm inspired by our team's relentless pursuit to perform and deliver results, exemplified by the stability of our cash flows.
We delivered our EBITDA in range of guidance, exceeded our free cash flow target, and took steps to reduce our leverage in the quarter. We accomplished this amidst a soft macroeconomic environment proving the mission critical importance of our products. As we look forward to 2026, we are targeting to improve reported earnings by 9% by delivering on our cost improvement and capacity optimization actions while working closely with our customers to provide solutions valued by the consumer."

Financial Results -- Fourth Quarter 2025
Consolidated Overview
The net sales increase of 51% included revenue from the Glatfelter merger of $328 million and favorable foreign currency changes of $10 million that were partially offset by a $35 million decrease in selling prices primarily due to the pass-through of lower raw material costs and a 3% organic volume decline which was attributed to general market softness in Europe and competitive pressures from imports in South America.
The adjusted EBITDA increase of 36% included a contribution from the Glatfelter merger of $28 million partially offset by unfavorable impacts from a $3 million volume decline and $3 million from price/cost spread.
Americas
The net sales increase in the Americas segment included revenue from the Glatfelter merger of $122 million partially offset by decreased selling prices of $28 million due to the pass-through of lower raw material cost and product mix and a 3% organic volume decline, which was primarily attributed to competitive pressures from imports in South America.
The adjusted EBITDA increase included a contribution from the Glatfelter merger of $14 million partially offset by unfavorable impacts from price cost spread of $6 million and volume decline of $2 million.
Rest of World
The net sales increase in the Rest of World segment included revenue from the Glatfelter merger of $206 million and a $9 million favorable impact from foreign currency changes partially offset by a 4% organic volume decline which was primarily attributed to general market softness in Europe.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Estimates
This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures including, but not limited to, Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, and comparable basis net sales and adjusted EBITDA. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to comparable measures determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) is set forth at the end of this press release. Information reconciling forward-looking adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow are not provided because such information is not available without unreasonable effort due to high variability, complexity, and low visibility with respect to certain items, including debt refinancing activity or other non-comparable items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to our results computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
