JACKSONVILLE, Fla., November 3, 2026 — Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc. (NYSE:RYAM) (the “Company”) today reported results for its third quarter ended September 26, 2026.

“RYAM delivered another strong quarter in HPC, with higher earnings, increased cellulose shipments and positive cash generation building on the progress we have made since the first quarter,” said Dan Krawczyk, President and Chief Executive Officer. “My time with customers and our teams has reinforced my confidence in the strength of our Cellulose Specialties franchise. Our commodity production mix currently masks the full value of that franchise and dilutes our average realized cellulose price. Our CS products and technical expertise support customers’ manufacturing efficiency and differentiate their finished products. Commodity losses continue to weigh on HPC’s overall results, making a production mix more heavily weighted toward CS a clear and urgent priority. We remain focused on growing CS volumes, loading plant production capacity more heavily toward CS and capturing product value, alongside continued operating improvements. We also see opportunities to create long-term value by leveraging our existing infrastructure, including through the Altamaha Green Energy project at Jesup, where construction is underway.

“Since joining RYAM, I have made advancing the strategic review a priority, and we continue to work actively with interested parties. U.S. tariffs on Canadian paperboard and the resulting October 3 economic idling at Temiscaming have slowed the review as parties seek greater clarity on the site’s path forward and its implications for the broader business. We are managing site costs and evaluating all options for Temiscaming. We are actively providing additional information to help interested parties assess the full value of RYAM, while discussing strategic alternatives to strengthen our CS franchise more quickly. Our mandate is to maximize shareholder value, and we are continuing to strengthen the business throughout the review. Given the complexities of these discussions, we are targeting a conclusion of the strategic review in Q1 2027.”
