Flint Group implements a global price increase for nitrocellulose-containing products

Due to persistent raw material cost increases, Flint Group will increase prices of all its products containing nitrocellulose. The increase will be effective from 1st August 2025, where contracts allow and will vary depending on nitrocellulose content.  Nitrocellulose (NC) is a key raw material used in the manufacture of solvent-based inks & coatings where it is used primarily as a binder. However, NC is also utilised extensively in the defence industry for the production of explosives and propellants. While NC grades vary, recent geopolitical tension and a renewed global focus on defence investment has rapidly increased demand for NC, leading to supply shortages and significant price increases.

Postmedia Reports Second Quarter Results

“As one of the largest independent Canadian news media organizations, our strength has always been rooted in our deep connection to communities across the country,” said Andrew MacLeod, Postmedia President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our connection is strengthened by our new editorial mission, which is designed to be a connecting force – thoughtful, uplifting, and bringing Canadians together through informed, meaningful journalism.” “The results from our second quarter demonstrate the success of our commitment to Canadian communities,” said MacLeod. “With positive momentum in both our advertising and circulation divisions, our investment into Atlantic Canada, through our Saltwire acquisition, has played a pivotal role in achieving these results. As we continue to face an immensely challenging media environment, our dedication to local communities will continue to guide the work we do.” Revenue for the quarter was $110.8 million as compared to $97.3 million in the same period in the prior year, representing an increase of $13.5 million (13.9%). The revenue increase was primarily due to increases in advertising revenue of $6.9 million (16.0%), circulation revenue of $2.2 million (6.6%) and other revenue of $4.8 million (67.4%), partially offset by decreases in parcel revenue of $0.4 million (2.9%). Excluding the impact of the Saltwire asset acquisition, advertising revenue for the quarter increased by 6.0% and other revenue for the quarter increased by 47.7%. Total operating expenses excluding depreciation, amortization and restructuring decreased $1.1 million, or 1.1%, for the quarter ended February 28, 2025, relative to the same period in the prior year.
