Orchids Paper Products Company Announces Third Quarter 2017 Results

Net sales increased $6.7 million, or 18%, in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2017. The increase in net sales principally reflects the continuing ramp-up of new business, which began to be produced and shipped late in the second quarter of 2017. Converted product net sales increased $7.2 million, with $6.9 million of the increase attributable to increased volume and $0.3 million due to an increase in the average selling price. Parent roll sales decreased $0.5 million, reflecting the utilization of increasing mill capacities to service new converted-product business. Cost of sales increased $5.5 million, or 15%. Standard cost of sales increased $4.2 million, or 15%, consistent with the change in sales. Major contributors to the remaining $1.3 million increase in cost of sales include: approximately $0.9 million of increased freight cost based on changes in customer and geographic distributions; approximately $1.0 million of increased material costs, principally for virgin fiber; approximately $1.2 million of increased overhead costs not yet covered by production and sales at the new Barnwell, South Carolina facility; and other factors such as inventory obsolescence resulting from changes in customers' product lines and certain manufacturing efficiency variances. Partially offsetting these noted changes in costs were: approximately $1.3 million of variances were capitalized that were directly attributable to preproduction test runs necessary to get Barnwell's new equipment ready for its intended use, and Pryor's absorption variance improved by approximately $0.6 million.
