    QUARTERLY REVIEW

    “Our results in the Paper business fell short of our expectations. This was primarily due to higher imports and customer destocking following a build-up of inventory ahead of the announced industry capacity closures, leading to lower volume and market-related downtime in our system. In Pulp, the current cycle in global markets led to downward price adjustments in most regions,” said John D. Williams, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The second quarter was also our peak outage quarter this year, with planned maintenance spending $44 million higher versus the first quarter. The elevated level of outages impacted productivity in Pulp and Paper.”

    Mr. Williams added, “In Personal Care, we had a good performance with favorable input costs, and margin improvement initiatives coming in as planned. Our results were negatively impacted by the permanent closure of the Waco, Texas facility, resulting in lower overall production volumes and unfavorable absorption of fixed costs, but we do expect the full benefits of the closure to flow through in the second half of the year.”

    Operating income was $34 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to operating income of $115 million in the first quarter of 2019. Depreciation and amortization totaled $74 million in the second quarter of 2019.

    Operating income before items1 was $57 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to an operating income before items1 of $129 million in the first quarter of 2019.

    The decrease in operating income in the second quarter of 2019 was the result of higher maintenance costs, unfavorable productivity, higher fixed and other costs, lower volume in paper and higher raw material and freight costs. These factors were partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses.

    When compared to the first quarter of 2019, manufactured paper shipments were down 7% and pulp shipments increased 6%. The shipment-to-production ratio for paper was 98% in the second quarter of 2019, compared to 97% in the first quarter of 2019. Paper inventories increased by 15,000 tons, and pulp inventories decreased by 2,000 metric tons when compared to the first quarter of 2019.

    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL

    Cash flow from operating activities amounted to $119 million and capital expenditures were $55 million, resulting in free cash flow1 of $64 million for the second quarter of 2019. Domtar’s net debt-to-total capitalization ratio1 stood at 22% at June 30, 2019 compared to 23% at March 31, 2019.

    OUTLOOK

    For the remainder of the year, we expect our paper volumes to improve and trend in line with the market while our paper prices should remain relatively stable. We will continue to balance our production to our customer demand in our Paper business. We anticipate some volatility in softwood and fluff pulp markets but should recover cyclically and seasonally in the back end of 2019. Personal Care is expected to benefit from our margin improvement plan and increased sales driven by a stronger order book. We expect moderate inflation in our costs for the second half of the year.

    Domtar Corporation
    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.

    “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” have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and therefore should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for Net earnings or any other earnings statement, cash flow statement or balance sheet financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. It is important for readers to understand that certain items may be presented in different lines by different companies on their financial statements, thereby leading to different measures for different companies.

    Domtar Corporation
    Quarterly Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures – By Segment 2019
    (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 “Operating income (loss) before items”, “EBITDA before items” and “EBITDA margin before items” by reportable segment. Management believes that the financial metrics are useful to understand our operating performance and benchmark with peers within the industry. The Company calculates the segmented “Operating income (loss) before items” by excluding the 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.

    “Operating income (loss) before items”, “EBITDA before items” and “EBITDA margin before items” have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and therefore should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for Operating income (loss) or any other earnings statement, cash flow statement or balance sheet financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. It is important for readers to understand that certain items may be presented in different lines by different companies on their financial statements, thereby leading to different measures for different companies.

    Domtar Corporation
    Quarterly Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures – By Segment 2018
    (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 “Operating income (loss) before items”, “EBITDA before items” and “EBITDA margin before items” by reportable segment. Management believes that the financial metrics are useful to understand our operating performance and benchmark with peers within the industry. The Company calculates the segmented “Operating income (loss) before items” by excluding the 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.
