International Paper Reports Q3 2025 Net Loss of $1.10 Billion Amid Restructuring and Strategic Actions

International Paper announced its third-quarter 2025 financial results, reporting a net loss of $1.10 billion, primarily influenced by $675 million in accelerated depreciation associated with mill closures and strategic 80/20 actions. Net sales for the quarter reached $6.2 billion, while adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $859 million, reflecting a 28% sequential improvement driven by price realization, cost management, and lower fiber costs. The Packaging Solutions businesses showed strong adjusted EBITDA growth, despite softening demand in North America and EMEA regions. The company continues to execute its transformation plan, focusing on portfolio reshaping, facility closures, and reinvestment in strategic assets to establish a differentiated and sustainable global packaging company. CEO Andy Silvernail expressed confidence in the company's trajectory and commitment to operational excellence and sustainability initiatives.
