Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Jul 29, 2026
- The foregoing non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement and should be read together with our financial results.
- We do not anticipate a significant inflection in overall demand patterns.
- The supply chain disruptions contributed to inflationary pressures on input costs, particularly for raw materials, energy and transportation, which we anticipate will persist through the remainder of the fiscal year.
- We have evaluated the impact of the OBBBA as part of our fiscal year 2026 forecast, and the effects of the legislation are reflected in our income tax provision for the third quarter of 2026.
- We will continue to assess the application of the OBBBA and any related regulatory guidance as it becomes available.
- We anticipate continuing to fund these items in a like manner.
- The absence of the cash flows from the Containerboard Business in future periods is not expected to materially impact our liquidity or capital resources.
- The interest coverage ratio generally requires that at the end of any fiscal quarter we will not permit the ratio of (a) our consolidated EBITDA, to (b) our consolidated interest expense to the extent paid or payable, to be less than 3.00 to 1.00, during the applicable preceding twelve-month period.
- Accordingly, we enter into various contracts that change in value as foreign exchange rates change to protect the value of certain existing foreign currency assets and liabilities, commitments, and anticipated foreign currency cash flows.
- This exclusion is in accordance with the SEC’s general guidance that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from the Company’s scope in the year of acquisition.
