MONTREAL, Nov. 20, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - Consolidated sales for the three-month period ended September 27, 2014, were $371 million, as compared to $352 million in the same quarter a year ago. The Company generated net earnings of $5 million or $0.05 per share in the September 2014 quarter compared to net earnings of $14 million or $0.14 per share in the September 2013 quarter. Operating earnings before depreciation, amortization and other items (adjusted EBITDA) was $29 million for the three-month period ended September 27, 2014, as compared to adjusted EBITDA of $24 million a year ago and adjusted EBITDA of $30 million in the prior quarter.
For the fiscal year ended September 27, 2014, consolidated sales were $1.5 billion, unchanged from the prior year. The Company generated net earnings of $9 million or $0.09 per share compared to a net loss of $39 million or $0.39 per share in fiscal 2013. Adjusted EBITDA was $90 million compared to $97 million in the prior year.
Business Segment Results
The Specialty Cellulose Pulp segment generated adjusted EBITDA of $16 million on sales of $123 million for the quarter ended September 2014, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $19 million on sales of $126 million in the prior quarter. The pulp sales increase of $1 million was due to higher shipments of specialty grades. Demand for specialty grades was flat while US and euro prices were relatively unchanged quarter-over-quarter. The euro weakened by 3.5% versus the Canadian dollar, reducing the reported sales of the Tartas, France mill by $2 million. Canadian dollar equivalent pricing for specialty grades declined by $28 per tonne. US dollar prices for viscose grades were relatively unchanged and prices increased by $11 per tonne. The viscose market remains oversupplied and prices are relatively low. Overall, pricing reduced adjusted EBITDA by $1 million. Shipments were equal to 80% of capacity in both quarters. Costs increased by $3 million due to net realizable value write downs as the Temiscaming mill produced more viscose grade pulp than it shipped.
The Forest Products segment generated adjusted EBITDA of $11 million on sales of $113 million for the quarter ended September 2014, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $5 million on sales of $108 million in the prior quarter. Sales increased by $5 million due to higher selling prices. Lumber shipments were equal to 83% of capacity versus 84% in the prior quarter. During the September 2014 quarter, the random length lumber reference price increased by US $13 per mbf while the reference price for stud lumber increased by US $28 per mbf. The price gap between the two grades narrowed as expected. Currency did not impact selling prices as the Canadian dollar averaged US $0.918, relatively unchanged from US $0.917 in the prior quarter. The net effect increased sales and adjusted EBITDA by $4 million or $23 per mbf. Costs decreased by $2 million. The spring and summer months are seasonally lower operating cost periods.
The Paper Pulp segment generated nil adjusted EBITDA on sales of $73 million for the quarter ended September 2014, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $3 million on sales of $102 million in the prior quarter. The $29 million decrease in sales was due to lower shipments and selling prices. Market conditions for paper pulp remained relatively weak although demand was stable. Pulp shipments were equal to 89% of capacity as compared to 117% in the prior quarter. Shipments in the prior quarter were unusually high as the Company dealt with a backlog created by winter storms that led to delays and congestion at several East Coast ports. The benchmark price (delivered China) for bleached eucalyptus kraft (BEK) decreased by US $13 per tonne, and the decline impacted high-yield pulp prices. Average selling prices declined by $32 per tonne, reducing adjusted EBITDA by $4 million. Manufacturing costs were relatively unchanged quarter-over-quarter.
The Paper segment generated adjusted EBITDA of $7 million on sales of $86 million for the quarter ended September 2014, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $8 million on sales of $89 million in the prior quarter. Lower shipments of coated bleached board led to the $3 million reduction in sales. The coated bleached board market was stable. The shipment to capacity ratio was 91% compared to 96% in the prior quarter. The US $ benchmark price for coated bleached board was unchanged at US $1,195 per short ton. Overall, average selling prices for coated bleached board were unchanged quarter-over-quarter. Bleached board costs were also unchanged quarter-over-quarter. The newsprint market remained weak with continued decreases in North American demand. The shipment to capacity ratio was 92% compared to 89% in the prior quarter. The US $ benchmark price for newsprint was unchanged at US $605 per tonne. Manufacturing costs at the Kapuskasing newsprint mill were similar in both quarters.
BC Land Sales Initiative
The Company made further progress on the BC Lands Sale Initiative. The objective is to realize up to $70 million in total sales by December 2014. As at the end of September 2014, the Company had generated sales of $60 million from the BC Land Sales Initiative. To date, the Company has sold approximately 59,800 hectares, representing 91% of the land area included in the BC Land Sales Initiative. The remaining 6,100 hectares to be sold relate to several small properties of various estimated values, which total approximately $10 million in aggregate. Given the characteristics of these properties, the Company considers it unlikely that they will all be sold by December 2014. It will take a longer period of time to ensure fair value is received for the remaining properties. Future sales of BC lands will be disclosed as they occur.
Temiscaming Cogen Project Update
The Company had previously indicated that the total construction cost of the Temiscaming Cogen project would be approximately $255 million. Updated projections now indicate that the total construction cost will be approximately $265 million. The increase is largely due to higher labour costs. The prior estimate contemplated total direct labour man-hours of 927,000. To the end of September 2014, labour man-hours had reached 933,000 and projections indicate a further 57,000 man-hours will be required to complete the construction work, for a projected total of 990,000 man-hours. The boiler and turbine installation are essentially complete and the remaining work will focus on commissioning and start-up. The turbine was previously scheduled to produce contract power by late-November 2014. This is now expected to occur in mid-December, a delay of approximately two weeks. The Company anticipates that the Temiscaming specialty cellulose project will improve annual adjusted EBITDA by approximately $48 million. The improvement will include approximately $28 million of incremental electricity revenues, $7 million of operating and maintenance cost reduction and $13 million of productivity and margin enhancements associated with the production increase of 15,000 tonnes of specialty pulp per year. While the increased electricity revenues and lower operating costs will occur when the boiler and turbine become operational, the productivity and margin enhancement will be dependent on the Company's ability to generate additional specialty pulp sales volumes, which may require an extended period of time.
Outlook
Overall, the September 2014 quarterly results were better than anticipated. Higher lumber prices accounted for a significant portion of the outperformance. The Specialty Cellulose segment results were as expected. The recovery in specialty grade volumes has been relatively slow, increasing by approximately 4% year-over-year. The Company has had to place greater reliance on the less profitable viscose grade market, which is negatively impacting segment results. Similar market conditions are expected in the coming quarter. The improved results in the Forest Products segment were driven by higher prices for lumber. Stud lumber prices increased by a larger margin, closing the gap with random lumber. We anticipate seasonally weaker prices in the coming quarter. The Paper Pulp segment results declined as a result of lower high-yield pulp prices. The new South American hardwood paper pulp capacity is impacting prices and we anticipate marginal profitability from this segment until the market absorbs this new capacity. The Paper segment results were relatively unchanged. The coated bleached board market is stable, but the export market for newsprint, on which North American producers are placing greater reliance, is under pressure.
The Company is looking forward to completing the construction of the Temiscaming, QC, specialty cellulose Cogen project in the coming quarter. While the total estimated cost has increased, the project remains a critical element that will materially improve the mill's cost structure and margins. The Company has placed significant emphasis on training and commissioning in order to ensure a successful start-up of the boiler and turbine.
