Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On August 4, 2021, Clearwater Paper Corporation (the “Company”) announced its results of operations and financial condition for the second quarter ending June 30, 2021. A copy of the press release containing this announcement is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto. In addition, a copy of the Company’s Second Quarter Supplemental Information is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 hereto.
In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the following are disclosed the attached Adjusted EBITDA which is defined as earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, other operating credits and charges, net and other non-operating items. Adjusted income from operations which is calculated by excluding from income from operations, other operating credits and charges, net, and adjusts for a normalized tax rate. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income from operations are not a substitute for the GAAP measure of net income or other GAAP measures of operating performance.
The Company discloses Adjusted EBITDA in the attached because it is used as important supplemental measure of its performance and believes that similarly-titled measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested persons in the evaluation of companies in its industry, some of which present similarly-titled measures when reporting their results. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate its performance as compared to other companies in its industry that have different financing and capital structures and/or tax rates. It should be noted that companies calculate similarly-titled measures differently and, therefore, as presented by the Company may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA has material limitations as a performance measure because it excludes interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization which are necessary to operate the Company's business or which the Company otherwise incurred or experienced in connection with the operation of its business.
The Company believes that Adjusted income from operations, which excludes other operating credits and charges, net, adjusted for a normalized tax rate is a useful measure for evaluating our ability to generate earnings and that providing this measure will allow investors to more readily compare the earnings referred to in the press release to the Company's earnings for past and future periods. The Company believes that this measure is particularly useful where the amounts of the excluded items are not consistent between the periods presented. It should be noted that other companies may present similarly-titled measures differently and, therefore, as presented by the Company may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. In addition, Adjusted income from operations has material limitations as a performance measure because it excludes items that are actually incurred or experienced in connection with the operations of the Company's business.
The information in Item 2.02, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Clearwater Paper Reports Second Quarter 2021 Results
SPOKANE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 4, 2021 --Clearwater Paper Corporation (NYSE:CLW), a premier supplier of quality tissue and bleached paperboard products, today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2021.
SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
•Net loss of $52 million, or $3.10 per diluted share
•Adjusted EBITDA of $15 million
•Successfully completed planned major maintenance at the Lewiston, Idaho facility ($22 million Adjusted EBITDA impact)
•Announced closure of Neenah, Wisconsin tissue facility
•Continued to reduce net debt
“We performed better than our initial expectations for the quarter. In paperboard, we continue to experience strong demand and robust backlogs. Tissue demand bottomed out in April as consumers de-stocked pantries and retailers adjusted inventories. Our tissue orders have started to build back to more normal levels since then,” said Arsen Kitch, president and chief executive officer. “Our team executed well in the quarter, performed our largest maintenance outage at Lewiston, serviced strong SBS demand, closed our high cost Neenah tissue facility and took tissue production downtime to reduce inventory levels and mitigate pulp price inflation.”
OVERALL RESULTS
For the second quarter of 2021, Clearwater Paper reported net sales of $406 million, a 15% decrease compared to net sales of $481 million for the second quarter of 2020. Net loss for the second quarter of 2021 was $52 million, or $3.10 per diluted share, compared to net income for the second quarter of 2020 of $23 million, or $1.36 per diluted share.

We are working to offset inflation across our business, including closing our high cost Neenah tissue facility and a continued focus on operational execution,” Kitch concluded.

USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
In this press release, the company presents certain non-GAAP financial information for the second quarter and first six months of 2021 and 2020, including adjusted income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA. Because these amounts are not in accordance with GAAP, reconciliations to net income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP are included in the tables at the end of this press release. The company presents these non-GAAP amounts because management believes they assist investors and analysts in comparing the company's performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that the
company does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance. In addition, the company uses Adjusted EBITDA: (i) as factors in evaluating management’s performance when determining incentive compensation, (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of the company's business strategies, and (iii) because the company's credit agreement and the indentures governing the company's outstanding notes use metrics similar to Adjusted EBITDA to measure the company's compliance with certain covenants.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements This presentation of supplemental information contains, in addition to historical information, certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the impact of COVID-19 on consumer behavior and our business and operations; order patterns; consumer demand and industry trends, including in response to COVID19, and other factors; backlogs and inventory overhang; impact of price increases; assumptions for Q3 2021 and full year 2021, including maintenance outage impacts, operational factors, interest, capital, inflation, depreciation and amortization and income tax; the operational and financial benefits from the Shelby expansion; and the indefinite closure of the Neenah facility and related costs and benefits . These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections that are subject to change. Our actual results of operations may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation. Important factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include the risks and uncertainties described from time to time in the company's public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to the following: impact of COVID-19 on our operations and our supplier’s operations and on customer demand; competitive pricing pressures for our products, including as a result of increased capacity as additional manufacturing facilities are operated by our competitors and the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on the pricing of products globally; the loss of, changes in prices in regard to, or reduction in, orders from a significant customer; changes in the cost and availability of wood fiber and wood pulp; changes in transportation costs and disruptions in transportation services; changes in customer product preferences and competitors' product offerings; larger competitors having operational and other advantages; customer acceptance and timing and quantity of purchases of our tissue products, including the existence of sufficient demand for and the quality of tissue produced by our expanded Shelby, North Carolina operations; consolidation and vertical integration of converting operations in the paperboard industry; our ability to successfully implement our operational efficiencies and cost savings strategies, along with related capital projects and restructuring activities, and achieve the expected operational or financial results of those projects; changes in the U.S. and international economies and in general economic conditions in the regions and industries in which we operate; manufacturing or operating disruptions, including IT system and IT system implementation failures, equipment malfunctions and damage to our manufacturing facilities; cyber-security risks; changes in costs for and availability of packaging supplies, chemicals, energy and maintenance and repairs; labor disruptions; cyclical industry conditions; changes in expenses, required contributions and potential withdrawal costs associated with our pension plans; environmental liabilities or expenditures; reliance on a limited number of third-party suppliers for raw materials; our ability to attract, motivate, train and retain qualified and key personnel; our substantial indebtedness and ability to service our debt obligations; restrictions on our business from debt covenants and terms; negative changes in our credit agency ratings; and changes in laws, regulations or industry standards affecting our business. Forward-looking statements contained in this presentation present management’s views only as of the date of this presentation. We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, to retract future revisions of management's views based on events or circumstances occurring after the date of this presentation. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation include certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Income and Net debt. The Company’s management believes that the presentation of these financial measures provides useful information to investors because these measures are regularly used by management in assessing the Company’s performance. These financial measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP but should not be considered substitutes for or superior to GAAP results. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures utilized by other companies, since such other companies may not calculate such measure in the same manner as we do. A reconciliation of these measures (Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Income and Net debt) to the most relevant GAAP measure is available in the appendix of this presentation.
