Domtar (UFS) Misses Q2 EPS by 13c, Revenues Beat

Domtar (NYSE: UFS) reported Q2 EPS of $0.65, $0.13 worse than the analyst estimate of $0.78. Revenue for the quarter came in at $1.35 billion versus the consensus estimate of $1.32 billion.

“We had a solid performance in pulp and paper given the extensive scheduled maintenance outages at several facilities. Both businesses are providing us with good sales and cash flow and we are building on several important initiatives” said John D. Williams, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continued to implement our announced price increases throughout the quarter with higher price realizations in both pulp and paper, which helped offset higher maintenance and inflation on some raw material and freight costs.”

Commenting on Personal Care, Mr. Williams added, “As expected, Personal Care results were impacted by anticipated volume reduction and continued commodity inflation. This was partially offset by strong cost savings and reduced overhead spending. We expect to improve margins towards the end of the year as the benefits of the new customer wins flow through.”
