QUARTERLY REVIEW

“We had a solid performance in pulp and paper given the extensive scheduled maintenance outages at several facilities. Both businesses are providing us with good sales and cash flow and we are building on several important initiatives” said John D. Williams, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continued to implement our announced price increases throughout the quarter with higher price realizations in both pulp and paper, which helped offset higher maintenance and inflation on some raw material and freight costs.”

Commenting on Personal Care, Mr. Williams added, “As expected, Personal Care results were impacted by anticipated volume reduction and continued commodity inflation. This was partially offset by strong cost savings and reduced overhead spending. We expect to improve margins towards the end of the year as the benefits of the new customer wins flow through.”

Operating income was $62 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to operating income of $77 million in the first quarter of 2018. Depreciation and amortization totaled $79 million in the second quarter of 2018.

Operating income before items¹ was $59 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to an operating income before items¹ of $78 million in the first quarter of 2018.

The decrease in operating income in the second quarter of 2018 was the result of higher maintenance costs, higher selling, general and administrative expenses, lower volume and unfavorable productivity. These factors were partially offset by higher average selling prices for pulp and paper and lower energy costs.

When compared to the first quarter of 2018, manufactured paper shipments were down 2% and pulp shipments increased 1%. The shipments-to-production ratio for paper was 102% in the second quarter of 2018, compared to 104% in the first quarter of 2018. Paper inventories decreased by 15,000 tons, and pulp inventories decreased by 26,000 metric tons when compared to the first quarter of 2018.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to $177 million and capital expenditures were $37 million, resulting in free cash flow¹ of $140 million for the second quarter of 2018. Domtar’s net debt-to-total capitalization ratio¹ stood at 25% at June 30, 2018 compared to 28% at March 31, 2018.

OUTLOOK

For the remainder of the year, we expect our paper shipments to trend better than market given the announced industry capacity closures. The announced price increases in paper are expected to continue to positively impact results in the second half of 2018. Pulp will benefit from lower planned maintenance costs and we expect prices will continue to trend positively. Personal Care results should improve towards the end of the year as the benefits of the new customer wins flow through. We expect moderate inflation in our costs for the second half of the year.

Quarterly Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(In millions of dollars, unless otherwise noted)

The following table sets forth certain non-U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) financial metrics identified in bold as “Earnings before items”, “Earnings before items per diluted share”, “EBITDA”, “EBITDA margin”, “EBITDA before items”, “EBITDA margin before items”, “Free cash flow”, “Net debt” and “Net debt-to-total capitalization”. Management believes that the financial metrics are useful to understand our operating performance and benchmark with peers within the industry. The Company calculates “Earnings before items” and “EBITDA before items” by excluding the after-tax (pre-tax) effect of specified items. These metrics are presented as a complement to enhance the understanding of operating results but not in substitution for GAAP results.
