Consolidated Overview

The net sales increase of 48% included revenue from the Glatfelter merger of $311 million partially offset by a $26 million unfavorable impact from foreign currency changes, decreased selling prices of $14 million and a 1% decline in volume.

The adjusted EBITDA increase of 17% included a contribution from the Glatfelter merger of $18 million partially offset by a $3 million unfavorable impact from foreign currency changes and unfavorable impact from price/cost spread of $3 million. The contributed Glatfelter EBITDA represents a $6 million decline compared to prior year primarily as the result of higher energy costs in Europe.

A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to comparable measures determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) is set forth at the end of this press release. Information reconciling forward-looking adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow are not provided because such information is not available without unreasonable effort due to high variability, complexity, and low visibility with respect to certain items, including debt refinancing activity or other non-comparable items.

(1) Supplemental financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to operating or net income or cash flows from operating activities, in each case determined in accordance with GAAP. Comparable basis measures exclude the impact of currency translation effects and acquisitions. These non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently by other companies, including other companies in our industry, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures are useful to our investors because they allow for a better period-over-period comparison of operating results by removing the impact of items that, in management's view, do not reflect our core operating performance. We define "Post-merger free cash flow" as cash flow from operating activities, less pre-merger free cash flow, less net additions to property, plant, and equipment. We believe free cash flow is useful to an investor in evaluating our liquidity because free cash flow and similar measures are widely used by investors, securities analysts, and other interested parties in our industry to measure a company's liquidity. We believe post-merger free cash flow is also useful to an investor in evaluating our liquidity as it can assist in assessing a company's ability to fund its growth through its generation of cash and as pre-merger cash flow is not indicative of our current structure and operations.

We also use Adjusted EBITDA and comparable basis measures, among other measures, to evaluate management performance and in determining performance-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure widely used by investors, securities analysts, and other interested parties in our industry to measure a company's performance. We also believe these measures are useful to an investor in evaluating our performance without regard to revenue and expense recognition, which can vary depending upon accounting methods.

(2) Includes restructuring, business optimization and other charges and YTD balance also includes $19 million of transaction compensation

(3) Consists of estimated parent-allocated charges for the period prior to merger which is required by GAAP as part of the carve-out financial statement process.

(4) Includes a $12 million inventory step-up charge related to GLT merger YTD and other non-cash charges.

(5) Includes stock compensation expense and equipment disposals

(6) The prior year comparable basis change excludes the impacts of foreign currency and acquisition/mergers.

(7) Pre-merger cash flow includes cash from operations prior to the merger and cash payments burdened by the transaction.
