“We had a solid operating performance despite the market related downtime in paper. Productivity improved due to lower planned maintenance outages, and we further benefited from our continuous improvement program efforts resulting in lower costs,” said John D. Williams, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are making meaningful progress with the ramp-up of the Ashdown fluff pulp machine with milestones achieved throughout the quarter. Production of bale softwood pulp is underway with the fluff qualification period set to begin in the fourth quarter.”
Mr. Williams added, “Strong sales momentum continued in Personal Care; our topline is growing faster than market with year-over-year growth of 8%. The recent acquisition of Home Delivery Incontinent Supplies Co., a leading national direct-to-consumer provider of incontinence products, will support our Personal Care growth strategy going forward.”
QUARTERLY REVIEW
Operating income was $92 million in the third quarter of 2016 compared to operating income of $39 million in the second quarter of 2016. Depreciation and amortization totaled $87 million in the third quarter of 2016.

The increase in operating income in the third quarter of 2016 was mostly due to lower maintenance costs, lower raw material costs, lower closure and restructuring costs and favorable exchange rates. These factors were partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses, lower average selling prices, a decrease in our paper sales volume and higher freight and other costs.

2 / 4
When compared to the second quarter of 2016, manufactured paper shipments were down 1% and pulp shipments increased by 3%. The shipments-to-production ratio for paper was 102% in the third quarter of 2016, compared to 105% in the second quarter of 2016. Paper inventories decreased by 17,000 tons and pulp inventories increased by 52,000 metric tons when compared to the second quarter of 2016.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL
Cash flow provided from operating activities amounted to $95 million and capital expenditures were $83 million, resulting in a free cash flow1 of $12 million for the third quarter of 2016. Domtar’s net debt-to-total capitalization ratio1 stood at 30% at September 30, 2016 and at June 30, 2016.
OUTLOOK
The fourth quarter will be negatively impacted by seasonality and mix in paper. We expect some short-term pricing volatility in pulp, while raw material unit costs are expected to increase, notably for wood, energy and chemicals. Our Personal Care results are expected to continue to benefit from the new customer wins, market growth and cost savings from the new manufacturing platform.

Quarterly Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(In millions of dollars, unless otherwise noted)
The following table sets forth certain non-U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) financial metrics identified in bold as “Earnings before items”, “Earnings before items per diluted share”, “EBITDA”, “EBITDA margin”, “EBITDA before items”, “EBITDA margin before items”, “Free cash flow”, “Net debt” and “Net debt-to-total capitalization”. Management believes that the financial metrics are useful to understand our operating performance and benchmark with peers within the industry. The Company calculates “Earnings before items” and “EBITDA before items” by excluding the after-tax (pre-tax) effect of specified items. These metrics are presented as a complement to enhance the understanding of operating results but not in substitution for GAAP results.

It is important for readers to understand that certain items may be presented in different lines by different companies on their financial statements, thereby leading to different measures for different companies.

Quarterly Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures – By Segment 2016
(In millions of dollars, unless otherwise noted)
The following table sets forth certain non-U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), financial metrics identified in bold as “Operating income (loss) before items”, “EBITDA before items” and “EBITDA margin before items” by reportable segment. Management believes that the financial metrics are useful to understand our operating performance and benchmark with peers within the industry. The Company calculates the segmented “Operating income (loss) before items” by excluding the pre-tax effect of specified items. These metrics are presented as a complement to enhance the understanding of operating results but not in substitution for GAAP results.
