Klabin, Brazil’s largest producer and exporter of paper for packaging and sustainable solutions for paper packaging, besides offering hardwood pulp, softwood pulp and fluff to the market, has reported Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) of R$1.843 billion in the second quarter of 2022, excluding non-recurring effects, an increase of 2% from the same period last year.
Excluding wood, sales volume in April, May and June 2022 surpassed 1 million tons, thanks to operational efficiency and flexibility, diversification of products and markets, and higher production by MP27, the first paper machine of the Puma II Project. Growth in the period was 7% in relation to the second quarter of 2021.
Net revenue reached R$ 5.039 billion in the second quarter of this year, up 24% year on year, driven by higher sales volume and consistent growth across all business lines, which offset the impact caused by the higher real vis-à-vis the dollar on exports during the period.
Cash generation once again benefited from higher EBITDA and diligent capital allocation, which helped maintain the Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) in the last 12 months at 18.6%. Klabin thus underscores its successful integrated, diversified and flexible business model, which once again enabled it to combine growth and value generation for shareholders in different market scenarios.
