International Paper Reports First Quarter 2018 Earnings
Printing Papers operating profits in the first quarter of 2018 were $64 million versus $136 million in the fourth quarter of 2017.

In Brazil, seasonally lower sales volumes and an unfavorable geographic and product mix exceeded the benefits from higher sales price realizations. In Europe and Russia, earnings decreased due to higher planned maintenance outage costs, higher input costs and lower sales volumes, partially offset by improved pricing.
