RAYONIER ADVANCED MATERIALS INC.

RYAM is a global leader of cellulose and derivatives commonly used in the production of filters, food, pharmaceuticals, high performance plastics, propellants and various industrial applications. RYAM’s specialized assets, capable of creating the world’s leading cellulose specialties products, are also used to produce cellulose viscose pulp, cellulose fluff pulp, high-yield pulp and various value-added derivatives, including paperboard, biofuels, bioelectricity and lignin. Company Background Before June 27, 2014, we consisted of Rayonier Inc.’s wholly-owned performance fibers business, which was primarily engaged in producing cellulose specialties. On that date, we separated from Rayonier Inc. and started our business as an independent, publicly traded company. In November 2017, we acquired Tembec Inc., a manufacturer of cellulose specialties, lumber, paperboard, newsprint and high-yield pulp. In August 2021, we sold the lumber and newsprint assets acquired in the Tembec acquisition. As a result of this sale, the operating results of the lumber and newsprint operations are presented as discontinued operations in our Financial Statements. See Note 4 Discontinued Operations to our Financial Statements for further information. In July 2024, we indefinitely suspended operations at our Temiscaming cellulose plant to mitigate high capital needs and operating losses related to exposure to commodity viscose products and improve our cash flow from operations. In the first quarter of 2026, we determined that we would permanently cease DWP production at the Temiscaming cellulose plant.
