Clearwater Paper — Third Quarter 2026 Earnings Summary

Clearwater Paper Corporation reported a net loss of $2 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2026, a significant improvement from the $53 million loss in the same period the previous year. Net sales for the quarter decreased to $385 million from $399 million in 2025, primarily due to lower market pricing, while Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations rose to $24 million. The company successfully refinanced all debt to extend maturities and reduced net debt by $56 million year-to-date through working capital reductions and insurance proceeds.
