Note: A reconciliation of the differences between all non-GAAP financial measures used in this release with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the financial schedules that are a part of this release. These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement, and should be read together with, our financial results. They should not be considered an alternative or substitute for, and should not be considered superior to, our reported financial results. Accordingly, users of this financial information should not place undue reliance on these non-GAAP financial measures. Fiscal Third Quarter 2025 Segment Results: (all current period results are compared to the third quarter of 2024 and both periods reflect only continuing operations unless otherwise noted) Net sales are impacted mainly by the volume of products sold, selling prices and product mix, and the impact of changes in foreign currencies against the U.S. Dollar. The table below shows the percentage impact of each of these items on net sales for our primary products for the fiscal third quarter of 2025 as compared to the prior year quarter for the business segments indicated. Net Sales ImpactCustomized Polymer Solutions Durable Metal Solutions Sustainable Fiber Solutions Integrated SolutionsCurrency Translation2.4% 2.7% (0.1)% 0.8%Volume2.2% (5.8)% (7.6)% 2.6%Selling Prices and Product Mix3.3% (2.7)% 2.1% 1.2%Total Impact 7.9% (5.8)% (5.6)% 4.6% Customized Polymer Solutions Net sales increased by $25.1 million to $339.8 million primarily due to $7.0 million attributable to higher volumes and $10.5 million from higher average selling prices and positive foreign currency translation impacts. Gross profit increased by $10.1 million to $70.7 million. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the same factors that impacted net sales, partially offset by higher raw material costs and higher manufacturing costs. Operating profit decreased by $0.8 million to $8.8 million primarily due to higher SG&A expenses related to higher compensation expenses and higher restructuring and other charges, partially offset by the same factors that impacted gross profit. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $1.1 million to $39.4 million primarily due to the same factors that impacted operating profit. Durable Metal Solutions Net sales decreased by $24.3 million to $399.8 million primarily due to $24.6 million attributable to lower volumes. Gross profit increased by $0.7 million to $86.4 million. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to lower raw material costs, partially offset by the same factors that impacted net sales. Operating profit increased by $1.4 million to $37.6 million primarily due to the same factors that impacted gross profit. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $2.1 million to $47.7 million primarily due to the same factors that impacted gross profit. Sustainable Fiber Solutions Net sales decreased by $17.6 million to $308.0 million primarily due to $24.5 million attributable to lower volumes, partially offset by $6.8 million from higher published containerboard and boxboard prices. Gross profit increased by $7.5 million to $75.4 million. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to lower raw material costs and lower manufacturing costs, partially offset by the same factors that impacted net sales. Operating profit decreased by $12.7 million to $23.2 million primarily due to higher restructuring and other charges related to plant closures, partially offset by the same factors that impacted gross profit. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $8.4 million to $65.5 million primarily due to the same factors that impacted gross profit. Integrated Solutions Net sales decreased by $13.4 million to $87.1 million primarily due to a $14.3 million impact from the Delta Divestiture during the third quarter of 2024. Gross profit decreased by $5.9 million to $24.8 million. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the Delta Divestiture. Operating profit decreased by $51.5 million to $3.5 million primarily due to a $46.1 million gain from the Delta Divestitures during the third quarter of 2024 and the same factors that impacted gross profit. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $5.7 million to $8.1 million primarily due to the same factors that impacted gross profit. Tax Summary During the third quarter, we recorded an income tax rate of 21.1 percent and a tax rate excluding the impact of adjustments of 22.4 percent. Calculating income tax expense during interim periods frequently causes fluctuations in our quarterly effective tax rates. For fiscal 2025, we expect our tax rate and our tax rate excluding adjustments to range between 27.0 to 32.0 percent. Dividend Summary On August 26, 2025, the Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.56 per share of Class A Common Stock and $0.84 per share of Class B Common Stock. Dividends are payable on October 1, 2025, to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 16, 2025. Company Outlook (in millions)Fiscal 2025 Outlook Reported at Q3Combined Adjusted EBITDA$725 - $735Adjusted free cash flow$305 - $315 Note: Fiscal 2025 net income guidance, inclusive of both continuing and discontinued operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA, is not provided in this release due to the potential for one or more of the following, the timing and magnitude of which we are unable to reliably forecast: gains or losses on the disposal of businesses or properties, plants and equipment, net; non-cash asset impairment charges due to unanticipated changes in the business; restructuring and other related activities; acquisition and integration related costs; and ongoing initiatives under our Build to Last strategy. No reconciliation of the 2025 guidance estimate of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes restructuring and other charges, acquisition and integration related costs, non-cash asset impairment charges, (gain) loss on the disposal of properties, plants, equipment and businesses, net, and other costs, is included in this release because, due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the excluded information, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible, we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, without unreasonable efforts. A reconciliation of the 2025 guidance estimate of Adjusted free cash flow to fiscal 2025 forecasted net cash provided by operating activities, inclusive of both continuing and discontinued operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is included in this release.
