Year-to-date operating cash flow turned positive at $55.0 million, a significant improvement from the $31.0 million negative position in the prior year period. Management expects sequential margin improvement in the second half of 2026 driven by higher production volumes and capacity utilization, despite near-term pressure from Memphis facility overhead and inflationary costs.

The acquisition of Century Metals (completed August 2025) contributed to growth, with approximately 33,000 tons of the volume increase attributed to organic growth at existing facilities.

    MERCER INTERNATIONAL INC

    Consolidated revenues rose 1.5% year-over-year to $460.3 million but declined 6.0% sequentially from Q1 2026; however, the company reported a widened net loss of $76.0 million ($1.13/share) compared to $86.1 million in Q2 2025 and $52.0 million in Q1 2026, driven by a $29.0 million non-cash inventory impairment.

Future outlook for Q3 2026 indicates continued weak demand due to high U.S. interest rates and elevated European fiber costs, though North American lumber prices are expected to trend upward and mass timber contracts valued at $151 million are projected to contribute to results starting late 2026.

Segment performance was driven by strong double-digit volume growth in Siding & Trim and FX tailwinds in ANZ, though Deck, Rail & Accessories sales declined 5% pro forma amid channel inventory normalization.
