*Operating profit for January–September 2022 was SEK 5 905 million (January–September 2021: 2 725). Excluding the item affecting comparability, operating profit increased by SEK 2 764 million to SEK 5 640 due to higher selling prices, while cost inflation was limited by our high level of wood and energy self-sufficiency. *Compared with the second quarter, operating profit for the third quarter decreased by SEK 180 million to SEK 1 921 million. A weaker wood products market had an adverse impact, but this was largely offset by higher earnings in other business areas. *Profit after tax for January–September amounted to SEK 4 606 million (2 136), which corresponds to earnings per share of SEK 28.5 (13.2).

Following extensive analysis of its operating footprint and the long-term supply of economic residual fibre, Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (TSX: CFX) is announcing the decision to permanently close the pulp line at its Prince George Pulp and Paper Mill, which will result in a reduction of 280,000 tonnes of market kraft pulp annually. The Specialty Paper facility at the site will continue to operate. “In recent years, several sawmills have permanently closed in the Prince George region due to reductions in the allowable annual cut and challenges accessing cost-competitive fibre. This has had a material impact on the availability of residual fibre for our pulp facilities and we need to right-size our operating platform. As a result, we have made the very difficult decision to shut down the pulp line at Prince George Pulp and Paper Mill and will continue to operate the Specialty Paper facility,” said Kevin Edgson, President and CEO, Canfor Pulp. Over the next few months, the Company will be following an orderly wind down process. The pulp line is expected to close by the end of the first quarter of 2023 and is anticipated to impact approximately 300 positions across the organization by the end of the year.
