QUARTERLY REVIEW

“Our strong performance was driven by accelerating price realizations and margin expansion, particularly, within our Pulp and Paper businesses. Our operations also ran exceptionally well, despite some weather-related outages, with productivity gains across the mill system,” said John D. Williams, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We have strong momentum to close the year on a high note, and the confidence that our Pulp and Paper businesses will enter 2019 in the best position in recent years.”

Commenting on Personal Care, Mr. Williams added, “Escalating raw material costs continue to compress our margins in adult incontinence and baby diapers. As a result, we are accelerating the pace of actions that will improve margins and EBITDA, with a plan that is expected to generate annual benefits of approximately $25 to 30 million, with full effect by the end of 2020. This will include headcount reductions, the permanent closure of our Waco, Texas facility, and commercial and operational initiatives. The sum of these actions will reduce our cost base and strengthen our long-term competitive position.”

Operating income was $114 million in the third quarter of 2018 compared to operating income of $62 million in the second quarter of 2018. Depreciation and amortization totaled $75 million in the third quarter of 2018.

Operating income before items¹ was $114 million in the third quarter of 2018 compared to an operating income before items¹ of $59 million in the second quarter of 2018.

Total operating income		114			62
Operating income before items¹		114			59
Depreciation and amortization		75			79

The increase in operating income in the third quarter of 2018 was the result of higher average selling prices for pulp and paper, lower maintenance costs, favorable productivity, lower raw material costs and selling, general and administrative expenses. These factors were partially offset by lower volume, higher freight and other costs.

When compared to the second quarter of 2018, manufactured paper shipments were down 4% and pulp shipments increased 3%. The shipments-to-production ratio for paper was 98% in the third quarter of 2018, compared to 102% in the second quarter of 2018. Paper inventories increased by 17,000 tons, and pulp inventories increased by 17,000 metric tons when compared to the second quarter of 2018.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to $70 million and capital expenditures were $49 million, resulting in free cash flow¹ of $21 million for the third quarter of 2018. Domtar’s net debt-to-total capitalization ratio¹ stood at 25% at September 30, 2018 and at June 30, 2018.

OUTLOOK

In the fourth quarter, we expect lower maintenance costs in Pulp and Paper. Paper and Pulp should continue to realize higher prices following recently announced price increases. Personal Care should benefit from higher volume and our margin improvement efforts while commodity cost inflation is expected to remain at elevated levels.

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.

“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” have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and therefore should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for Net earnings (loss), Operating income (loss) or any other earnings statement, cash flow statement or balance sheet financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. 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 2018

(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.

“Operating income (loss) before items”, “EBITDA before items” and “EBITDA margin before items” have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and therefore should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for Operating income (loss) or any other earnings statement, cash flow statement or balance sheet financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. 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.
