MONTREAL, Nov. 17 /CNW Telbec/ - Consolidated sales for the three-month
period ended September 25, 2010 were $444 million, as compared to
$451 million in the comparable period of the prior year. The Company
generated net earnings of $2 million or $0.02 per share in the
September 2010 quarter compared to a net loss of $17 million or $0.17
per share in the September 2009 quarter. Operating earnings before
depreciation, amortization and other specific or non-recurring items
(EBITDA) was $36 million for the three-month period ended September 25,
2010, as compared to negative EBITDA of $9 million a year ago and
EBITDA of $60 million in the prior quarter.

For the fiscal year ended September 25, 2010, consolidated sales were
$1.9 billion, up from $1.8 billion in the prior year. The Company
generated net earnings of $52 million or $0.52 per share compared to a
net loss of $214 million or $2.14 per share in fiscal 2009.

Business Segment Results

The Forest Products segment generated negative EBITDA of $5 million on
sales of $113 million in the September quarter. This compares to EBITDA
of $6 million on sales of $126 million in the prior quarter. Sales
decreased by $13 million due to lower prices and volumes for SPF
lumber. Demand for SPF lumber remained relatively weak with shipments
equal to 52% of capacity, as compared to 56% in the prior quarter. US $
reference prices for random lumber decreased by approximately US $40
per mbf while stud lumber decreased by US $77 per mbf. Currency had a
small positive effect on pricing as the Canadian dollar averaged
US $0.962, a 1% decrease from US $0.973 in the prior quarter. The net
price effect was a decrease in EBITDA of $8 million or $38 per mbf.
Cost of sales was relatively unchanged versus the prior quarter. During
the September quarter, the Company incurred $2 million of lumber export
taxes, down from $3 million in the prior quarter. Lumber export taxes
are payable based on the 2006 agreement between Canada and the United
States. Applicable export tax rates may vary based upon selling prices.
During the September quarter, the Company incurred 10% on Western mill
shipments in July and 15% in August and September. The Eastern mill
shipments were taxed at 13% in July and 15% in August and September.

The Pulp segment generated EBITDA of $41 million on sales of
$254 million for the quarter ended September 2010 compared to EBITDA of
$58 million on sales of $331 million in the prior quarter. Sales
decreased by $77 million as a result of lower shipments. During the
most recent quarter, shipments were equal to 82% of capacity, as
compared to 96% in the prior quarter. In the June quarter, the Company
completed the sale of two kraft pulp mills and related operations
located in Southern France. During the prior quarter, these operations
contributed $43 million to sales, $10 million to EBITDA and $8 million
to operating earnings. The two mills shipped 55,300 tonnes in the June
quarter. On June 30, 2010, a fire occurred at the Chetwynd, BC
high-yield pulp mill. The fire and related damages were primarily
concentrated in the log storage and chip pile area. The mill was out of
service for a period of approximately two weeks and subsequently
resumed production at a reduced rate. It returned to full production on
September 22, 2010. The total amount of lost production during the
September quarter was approximately 17,400 tonnes. The Company
maintains property and business interruption insurance on all of its
facilities and the deductible absorbed by the Company for this event
was $5 million, reducing EBITDA and operating earnings by this amount.
During the September quarter, the Company also incurred 11,200 tonnes
of maintenance downtime. This was more than in the prior quarter which
included only 1,600 tonnes of maintenance downtime. US $ reference
prices increased over the prior quarter. Specialty pulp pricing also
improved from the prior quarter. Currency had a small positive effect
on pricing as the Canadian dollar was weaker. The combined price effect
was an increase of $31 per tonne, improving EBITDA by $9 million. Mill
level costs increased by $7 million, primarily as a result of the
previously noted maintenance downtime which occurred at four of the
Company's six pulp facilities. The sale of the French pulp mills and
the absorption of the Chetwynd fire deductible accounted for the
majority of decline in EBITDA. Inventories were at 23 days of supply at
the end of September 2010, as compared to 21 days at the end of June
2010.

The Paper segment generated EBITDA of $4 million on sales of
$96 million. This compares to EBITDA of $1 million on sales of
$96 million in the prior quarter. Higher prices for newsprint and
bleached board were offset by lower bleached board shipments. The
decline in bleached board shipments was not caused by a decline in
demand as markets were strong and shipments equalled 102% of capacity.
The shipment to capacity ratio of 115% experienced in the prior quarter
was due to inventory reductions and was not sustainable. During the
most recent quarter, newsprint shipments were equal to 49% of capacity,
as compared to 47% in the prior quarter. As a result of the continued
weak demand for newsprint, the Company continued with production
curtailments. The Company incurred 68,300 tonnes of market related
downtime at the newsprint mills in the most recent quarter and
2,200 tonnes of maintenance downtime at the bleached board facility.
The Pine Falls, Manitoba, newsprint facility was idle for the entire
quarter. One of the three newsprint machines at the Kapuskasing
newsprint mill was also idle for the entire quarter. In the prior
quarter, the Company also incurred 68,300 tonnes of market related
downtime. The US $ reference price for newsprint increased by US $37
per tonne while the reference price for coated bleached board was up by
US $47 per short ton. Currency positively impacted pricing as the
Canadian dollar was weaker. The combined impact on Canadian $ pricing
was an increase of $6 million in EBITDA. The maintenance performed at
the bleached board mill increased period manufacturing costs by
$3 million.

Liquidity

At the end of September 2010, the Company had total cash of $74 million
plus unused operating lines of $100 million. In August 2010, the
Company completed a private offering of US $255 million of 11.25%
senior secured notes maturing in December 2018. The notes were sold in
a private offering to "qualified institutional buyers" as defined in
Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 and outside the U.S. in
reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The notes are senior
secured obligations of the Company, secured by a first priority lien on
the majority of the property and fixed assets of the Company. They are
secured by a second priority lien on accounts receivable, inventories
and certain intangibles. The net proceeds of the offering, together
with cash on hand, were used to repay all outstanding indebtedness
under the Company's existing US $300 million term loan facility
maturing in February 2012, including related fees, expenses and a 2%
prepayment premium.

Outlook

While the September quarterly EBITDA of $36 million was a decline from
the prior quarter, it did exceed the Company's expectations. The sale
of the two French pulp mills, the impact of the fire at the Chetwynd,
BC pulp mill and the extensive maintenance downtime in the September
quarter were all known items at the time the prior quarter results were
published. As anticipated, lumber pricing remains somewhat volatile as
relatively weak markets are balanced against low supply chain
inventories. The emergence of China as a growing consumer of Western
Canadian lumber is an encouraging development. A significant
improvement in U.S. housing starts will be required to support more
sustained lumber demand and prices in the medium and longer term. Paper
pulp markets, which had good market fundamentals, surged after the
earthquake in Chile and its impact on global paper pulp supply. Now
that supply disruptions have been resolved, prices are declining, with
hardwood pulp under more pressure than softwood pulp. However, good
demand fundamentals should ensure that the prices will remain
attractive for paper pulp producers. Specialty and dissolving pulp
markets are enjoying very favourable market fundamentals. Strong prices
are expected to continue in the upcoming quarters. The results of the
paper business should show better margins, driven by higher selling
prices for newsprint and coated paperboard. While the recent
announcement of the permanent closure of the Pine Falls, Manitoba
newsprint mill did negatively impact the September quarter financial
results, it should lead to better performance for the paper segment in
future periods. The successful refinancing and reduction of the
Company's term debt represented an important milestone and was
indicative of investor support for the asset repositioning that has
been ongoing over the last several years. The Company is well
positioned to improve the quality and efficiency of its asset base and
will be focused on this area in the upcoming fiscal year.
