“We remain confident in the long-term fundamentals of the paperboard market and expect gradual demand recovery for the balance of 2024 and into 2025. We currently expect to close the sale of our tissue business in the fourth quarter of 2024, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approval. Our plan is to use the proceeds to de-lever our balance sheet and continue executing our strategy to grow and diversify our paperboard product portfolio,” continued Kitch.
