NEWS RELEASE
Sylvamo Releases Second Quarter Earnings
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Aug. 7, 2026 – Sylvamo (NYSE: SLVM), the world’s paper company, is releasing second quarter earnings. The company will host an audio webcast at 10 a.m. EDT at investors.sylvamo.com.
Management Summary from Chief Executive Officer John Sims
Our second quarter highlights include implementing uncoated freesheet price increases with our customers across all regions. We’re advancing our lean transformation journey to embed continuous improvement into how we run the business, so performance improvement becomes employee-driven, systematic and self-sustaining. Our teams also continue to make good progress on our high-return strategic investments at our Eastover, South Carolina, mill.
2026 is a transition year as we adjust our North America footprint while working through the termination of the Riverdale supply agreement with International Paper (NYSE: IP), changing tariffs and the extended outage to complete our strategic investments at our Eastover mill. Our commercial and supply chain teams have done an outstanding job to ensure our customers are well served.
Our strategic investments at Eastover continue to progress:
•The woodyard modernization project is going well, with the hardwood line yielding improved reliability and chip quality since its startup in May. The softwood operation remains on schedule for the first quarter of 2027.
•The paper machine optimization project remains on schedule, on budget and is expected to be completed during a planned maintenance outage in the fourth quarter, which will add an additional 60,000 short tons of uncoated freesheet capacity annually.
•The new cutsize sheeter passed equipment acceptance testing in June, arrived in the U.S. a few weeks ago and teams are preparing for installation.
•We are expanding warehouse capacity at our existing sheeting plant through a sale-leaseback transaction with a third party. The project will reduce supply chain costs, improve service to our customers and provide additional flexibility. We expect this project to be completed in the first quarter of 2027.
In the second quarter, Sylvamo generated a net loss of $11 million and adjusted EBITDA* of $60 million. Cash from continuing operations was $38 million, and free cash flow* was negative $23 million. In the last few years, we generated most of our free cash flow in the second half, and we expect to do so again this year.
Overall, we expect a much better earnings performance for the last six months of the year as price and mix, volume and operations should be better compared to the first half.
Our board of directors declared a $0.45 dividend for the third quarter, which we paid July 28.
-Regional Business Conditions
•In Europe, pulp prices improved throughout the first half of the year and seem stable. We continue to realize previously communicated price increases and announced another price increase effective in mid-June, which we expect to realize through the third quarter.
*See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for definitions of non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations are included in the financial schedules below.
1
Exhibit 99.1
•In Latin America, we expect seasonally higher demand through the second half of the year, positively impacting volume and geographic mix. We continue to realize previously communicated price increases to export customers across other Latin American countries as well as customers in the Middle East and Africa. Realization of these increases should continue through the third quarter.
•In North America, industry supply and demand dynamics improved as roughly 7% of the annual uncoated freesheet industry supply was removed with the Riverdale paper machine conversion. In the second quarter, we saw imports into North America increase compared to the previous quarter, a reaction to the 10% global tariff window. We also continue to realize previously communicated paper price increases and expect to see additional realization through the third quarter.
We expect the Middle East conflict to continue pressuring energy, chemical and transportation costs across our regions as we go through the year.
-Looking Ahead
We continue to execute in the six areas I outlined in my letter to shareowners earlier this year that define how Sylvamo will be legendary for the way we relentlessly pursue and achieve world-class excellence. These areas are safety and well-being, employee engagement, customer centricity, operational excellence, cost leadership and sustainability, all of which support our long-term value creation strategy for shareowners.
We will make disciplined, data-driven decisions that position us for sustainable success and strengthen Sylvamo for decades to come. As industry conditions turn, our capital spending normalizes and the benefits from our investments begin to materialize, we have the potential to generate annually:
• > $300 million in free cash flow
• > 15% return on invested capital

Segment Information
Sylvamo uses business segment operating profit (loss) to measure the earnings performance of its businesses, see definition within “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”. Second quarter 2026 sales by business segment and operating profit (loss) by business segment compared with the first quarter of 2026 and the second quarter of 2025 are as follows:
Business Segment Results
(In millions) Second Quarter 2026 First Quarter 2026 Second Quarter 2025

Latin America (16) 4 2
North America 50 25 66
Business Segment Operating Profit (Loss) $ 14 $ (15) $ 30
Operating profits in the second quarter of 2026:
Europe - $(20) million compared with $(44) million in the first quarter of 2026. Losses were lower due to higher sales price and mix and lower operating and input costs which were partially offset by higher planned maintenance outages.
Latin America - $(16) million compared with $4 million in the first quarter of 2026. Earnings were lower due to higher planned maintenance outages and higher input costs which were partially offset by higher sales price and mix and higher volumes.
North America - $50 million compared with $25 million in the first quarter of 2026. Earnings were higher due to higher sales price and mix and lower operating and input costs which were slightly offset higher planned maintenance outages.
Effective Tax Rate
The reported effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2026 was 1200%, compared to 50% for the first quarter of 2026. The higher rate for the second quarter was primarily driven by a $12 million valuation allowance on certain foreign deferred tax assets which will not expected to be realized due to a planned internal merger.
The effective operational tax rate for the second quarter of 2026 was 80%, compared with 13% for the first quarter of 2026.
3
Exhibit 99.1
The effective operational tax rate is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated by adjusting the income tax provision (benefit) and rate to exclude the tax effect at the applicable statutory rate of net special items and the impact of foreign exchange on an intercompany note receivable from our Brazilian subsidiary. Management believes that this presentation provides useful information to investors by providing a more meaningful comparison of the income tax rate between past and present periods.
Effects of Net Special Items
Net special items in the second quarter of 2026 amounted to a net after-tax charge of $13 million ($0.34 per diluted share), compared with a net after-tax charge of $1 million ($0.03 per diluted share) in the first quarter of 2026.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Operating Earnings (Loss) (non-GAAP) are net income (loss) (GAAP) plus the impact of foreign exchange on an intercompany note receivable from our Brazilian subsidiary, and, when applicable for the periods reported, net special items. Management uses this measure to focus on ongoing operations and believes it is useful to investors because it enables them to perform meaningful comparisons of past and present operating results. The Company believes that using this information, along with net income (loss), provides for a more complete analysis of the results of operations. Net income (loss) is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. For more information regarding net special items, see the information under the heading Effects of Net Special Items and the Consolidated Statement of Operations and related notes included later in this release.
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is net income (loss) (GAAP) plus the sum of income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation, amortization and cost of timber harvested, stock-based compensation, the impact of foreign exchange on an intercompany note receivable from our Brazilian subsidiary, and, when applicable for the periods reported, net special items. Management uses these measures in managing the operating performance of our business and believes that adjusted EBITDA along with adjusted EBITDA margin provide investors and analysts meaningful insights into our operating performance and is a relevant metric for the third-party debt. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA margin (adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales) is reconciled to net income (loss) margin (net income (loss) divided by net sales), the most directly comparable GAAP measure. For more information regarding net special items, see the information under the heading Effects of Net Special Items and the Consolidated Statement of Operations and related notes included later in this release.
Business Segment Operating Profit (Loss) (non-GAAP) is net income (loss) (GAAP) plus the sum of income taxes, net interest expense, the impact of foreign exchange on an intercompany note receivable from our Brazilian subsidiary, and, when applicable for the periods reported, net special items. We believe that business segment operating profit (loss) is an important indicator of operating performance as it is a measure reported to our management for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to our business segments and assessing the performance of our business segments. For more information regarding net special items, see the information under the heading Effects of Net Special Items and the Consolidated Statement of Operations and related notes included later in this release.
Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure and the most directly comparable GAAP measure is cash provided by operating activities. Management utilizes this measure in connection with managing our business and believes that Free Cash Flow is useful to investors as a liquidity measure because it measures the amount of cash generated that is available, after reinvesting in the business, to maintain a strong balance sheet and service debt, and return cash to shareowners. It should not be inferred that the entire Free Cash Flow amount is available for discretionary expenditures. Free Cash Flow also enables investors to perform meaningful comparisons between past and present periods.
