Clearwater Paper Reports Third Quarter 2026 Results
Clearwater Paper reported Q3 2026 net sales of $385 million, down from $399 million a year ago, driven by lower market pricing, with a net loss of $2 million or $0.10 per diluted share versus a $53 million loss in Q3 2025. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations improved to $24 million from $18 million, helped by maintenance-outage timing, and average selling prices rose $34 per ton sequentially as price increases take hold. The company refinanced all debt with meaningfully extended maturities, received $17.5 million in additional RWI proceeds, and cut net debt by $56 million year to date to $260.7 million.
