Q3 EBITDA plunges negative

Q3 FY2025 results
Mercer revenues fell 9% y/y to $458M in Q3 ended September 30, 2025, driven by lower pulp realizations amid weak demand in China and Europe, yet lumber prices climbed 23% to $553/Mfbm. Operating loss hit $67.6M from $8.8M income y/y, widened by $20.4M inventory impairment, higher fiber costs, and weaker dollar on euro expenses; net loss reached $80.8M or $1.21/share (anti-dilutive PSUs excluded). Cash dropped to $98M with $278M revolver availability, long-term debt at $1.5B including 12.875% notes due 2028. Pulp (74% revenue) and solid wood both posted negative Segment Operating EBITDA. Debt covenants met. Tariffs loom large.

Suspends dividend amid Q2 loss
Mercer International reported a Q2 2025 net loss of $86.1 million and negative Operating EBITDA of $20.9 million, down sharply from positive $30.4 million a year ago, hammered by weaker pulp demand in China, a softer dollar, and an $11 million hardwood inventory impairment. Amid global trade jitters, the board suspended the quarterly dividend to prioritize cash preservation and debt reduction. Progressing the 'One Goal One Hundred' program, they've locked in $5 million in savings so far, targeting $100 million by 2026. Dividend pause signals caution.

Q2 FY2025 results
Mercer International's Q2 revenues fell 9% year-over-year to $453.5M, driven by lower pulp and manufactured products realizations amid weak China demand, yet lumber prices climbed 19% to $550/Mfbm on tighter supply. Operating loss widened to $58.4M from $43.8M, pressured by $11M hardwood inventory impairment and higher fiber costs, though fewer maintenance days helped; net loss hit $86.1M or $1.29/share, with the gap to operating loss mainly from $28.4M interest expense. Cash dipped to $146.5M after $7.5M operating outflow, but $291.6M revolver availability bolsters liquidity against $1.5B debt maturing 2027-2029. Pulp sales to China, 29% of segment revenue, expose the firm to trade policy risks.

Shareholders approve key proposals
Mercer International's shareholders overwhelmingly elected all ten director nominees at the May 30, 2025 annual meeting, with for votes exceeding 50 million each amid 9.8 million broker non-votes. They ratified PricewaterhouseCoopers as auditors with near-unanimous support and approved the advisory say-on-pay resolution, yet the stock incentive plan amendment passed by a narrower 49.4 million to 1.3 million margin. Strong backing signals confidence in governance. Shareholder approval locks in plan flexibility.
