Forward-Looking Statements
This presentation contains, in addition to historical information, certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995,
including statements regarding our strategies to grow our business, the benefits of, and synergies from, our Cellu Tissue acquisition, internal and external pulp purchases and
transfers, internal pulp production and requirements, customer purchases of Private Label tissue, production capacity of operating divisions, completion of additional converting and
paper making capacity and the expected financial returns from these investments, efficiency projects and reductions to our cost structure, our share repurchase program and stock
split and the expected benefit thereof, our capital allocation objectives, our financial priorities, such as growing free cash flow and maintaining modest leverage, estimated annual
EBITA sensitivities, the cost and timing to complete new facilities, future growth and market opportunities, sales volumes, input costs, and our financial condition and results of
operations.  Words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “plan,” “target,” “project,” “believe,” “schedule,” “estimate,” “may,” and similar expressions are intended to identify
such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections that are subject to
change. Our actual results of operations may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation. Important factors
that could cause or contribute to such differences include the risk factors described in Item 1A of Part I of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as well as the
following:
an inability to successfully implement our expansion and operating strategies;
difficulties with the integration process or the realization of the benefits expected from the acquisition of Cellu Tissue;
difficulties with the completion of our new tissue making and converting facilities;
the Cellu Tissue acquisition may expose our operations to unidentified liabilities;
changes in the cost and availability of wood fiber used in the production of our products;
changes in freight costs and disruptions in transportation services;
changes in raw material costs and energy availability and costs;
changes in customer product preferences and competitors’ product offerings;
changes in the United States and international economies and in general economic conditions in the regions and industries in which we operate;
cyclical industry conditions;
the loss of business from any of our three largest Consumer Products segment customers or a large Pulp and Paperboard segment customer;
competitive pricing pressures for our products;
reliance on a limited number of third party suppliers for raw materials;
our qualification to retain, or ability to utilize, tax credits associated with alternative fuels or cellulosic biofuels and the tax treatment associated with such
credits;
unforeseen environmental liabilities or expenditures;
unanticipated manufacturing or operating disruptions, including equipment malfunction and damage to our manufacturing facilitates caused by fire or
weather-related events and IT system failures;
changes in the relationship between supply and demand in the forest products industry, including the amount of available manufacturing capacity and wood
fiber used in manufacturing our products;
changes in expenses and required contributions associated with our pension plans;
labor disruptions;
an inability to fund our debt obligations;
restrictions on our business from debt covenants and terms;
changes in laws, regulations or industry standards affecting our business; and
changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies.

Wood fiber includes pulp, wood chips, sawdust and saw logs
Historically, we were a net buyer of approximately 85,000 tons of pulp annually.   Going forward,
we expect to be a net buyer of approximately 400,000 tons of pulp annually
Historically and prior to the Cellu Tissue acquisition, we produced approximately 800,000 tons of
pulp representing about 92% of our total annual pulp needs.  We expect to continue to produce the
same amount of pulp going forward, which would represent approximately 68% of our total
anticipated annual pulp needs
Generally we use a mix of pulp including northern softwood, southern softwood, northern
hardwood, eucalyptus and recycled
Commencing on January 1, 2011, we began accounting for the transfer of pulp from the Pulp and
Paperboard division to the Consumer Products division at cost instead of market price because,
over time, we intend to use all of our pulp internally.
Accordingly, there will be no intersegment
sales for this item going forward

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures
Clearwater Paper Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures
EBITDA
is a non-GAAP measure that Clearwater Paper management uses to evaluate the cash generating capacity of Clearwater Paper. The
most directly comparable GAAP measure is net earnings.  EBITDA, as defined by Clearwater Paper management, is net earnings adjusted for net
interest
expense,
income
taxes,
and
depreciation
and
amortization.
It
should
not
be
considered
as
an
alternative
to
net
earnings
computed
under
GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA
is a non-GAAP measure that Clearwater Paper management defines as EBITDA adjusted for items that we do not believe are
indicative of our core operating performance, including acquisition related expenses and  alternative fuel mixture tax credits. The most directly
comparable GAAP measure is net earnings.  It should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings computed under GAAP.
Segment EBITDA
is a non-GAAP measure used by Clearwater Paper management. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is segment
operating
income.
Segment
EBITDA,
as
defined
by
Clearwater
Paper
management,
is
segment
operating
income
adjusted
for
segment
depreciation
and
amortization.
It
should
not
be
considered
as
an
alternative
to
segment
operating
income
computed
under
GAAP.
Segment
Adjusted
EBITDA
is
a
non-GAAP
measure
that
Clearwater
Paper
management
defines
as
Segment
EBITDA
adjusted
for
nonrecurring
expenses or income, including alternative fuel mixture tax credits.  The most directly comparable GAAP measure is segment operating income.  It
should not be considered as an alternative to segment operating income computed under GAAP.
Free Cash Flow
is a non-GAAP measure that Clearwater Paper management uses to evaluate the financial performance of Clearwater Paper. The
most
directly
comparable
GAAP
measure
is
net
cash
from
operating
activities.
Free
Cash
Flow,
as
defined
by
Clearwater
Paper
management,
is
net cash from operating cash flows adjusted for capital expenditures, non-cash interest expense and non-cash tax expense. It should not be
considered as an alternative to net cash from operating activities computed under GAAP.

Synergy Opportunity Example
large
converting
winder
in
Neenah,
WI
(formerly
Cellu
Tissue)
can
more
efficiently produce Away-from-Home products and 1000 count bathroom tissue
Actions:
1.
Relocate a wrapper machine from Elwood, IL (formerly CLW) to Neenah, WI
2.
Reposition an underutilized case packer in Neenah, WI
3.
Redirect the existing 1000 count product from Lewiston, ID (formerly CLW) and
Thomaston, GA (formerly CLU) to Neenah, WI
4.
Increase the production schedule of the existing underutilized large converting winder
in Neenah, WI from 5 to 7 days
Expected Results:
1.
Creates
new
case
capacity
in
the
systems
at
Neenah,
Lewiston
and
Thomaston
2.
Reduces freight
3.
Improves paper machine trim
