Sylvamo now has access to $60 million initially put in escrow for disputed goodwill tax deductions in Brazil which it intends to use to pay down debt. The company’s lenders agreed to eliminate the escrow after a Brazilian court ruled in its favor. The ruling—covering two-thirds of the amount disputed in several proceedings—is subject to appeal. Due to the potential liability of the goodwill tax deductions, lenders limited Sylvamo to $90 million in annual cash returns when it became an independent company in 2021. In September 2023, the company made a $60 million escrow deposit to remove the limit in its credit agreement, allowing it to return more than $90 million annually in cash to shareowners through share repurchases and dividends.
Two of Domtar’s values are collaboration and entrepreneurship, qualities the Nekoosa, Wisconsin, mill recently demonstrated via a partnership that turned a costly sourcing challenge into an innovative project with environmental, operational and economic benefits. Partnering with Omya, a leading global producer of essential minerals and a worldwide distributor of specialty materials, the mill built an on-site plant to ensure a reliable source of precipitated calcium carbonate, a key papermaking ingredient. The new PCC plant came online in September 2024, solving several supply challenges. Thinking creatively, Domtar and Omya researched constructing a four-story PCC plant at the Nekoosa mill. Studies by Omya and AFRY, an engineering consulting firm serving the pulp and paper industry, confirmed Nekoosa as a viable location for such a plant, offering proper carbon dioxide content, secondary CO2 supply options, favorable logistics and sufficient product storage capability. Both companies invested significant capital for engineering, permitting, demolition, foundation work, utilities and CO2 supply, as well as PCC manufacturing, storage and unloading facilities. Construction was complete by July 2024, and the PCC plant became operational in September 2024.
