AbitibiBowater Announces Second Quarter 2011
Improved Financial Results
| • | Net income of $61 million, or $0.63 per diluted share |
| • | ACH sale was completed for net proceeds of approximately $300 million |
| • | Debt reduction of approximately $270 million |
| • | Net debt to equity ratio improved to 11% |
MONTREAL, August 10, 2011 – AbitibiBowater Inc. (NYSE: ABH) (TSX:ABH) today reported net income for the second quarter of 2011 of $61 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, on sales of $1.2 billion. These results compare with a net loss of $297 million, or $5.15 per diluted share, on sales of $1.2 billion for the second quarter of 2010.
The net income for the second quarter, before certain special items, was $69 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, compared with a second quarter 2010 net loss before special items of $197 million, or $3.31 per diluted share. Second quarter 2011 special items, net of tax, consisted of the following: a $4 million gain related to foreign currency transactions, a $3 million charge related to closure costs, a $2 million gain related to asset sales, an $8 million charge for post-emergence expenses and a $3 million severance charge. A reconciliation of these items is contained in Note 7 to this release. The Company also benefited from a $44 million tax reserve adjustment in the quarter or $0.45 per diluted share.
“Our pricing for our pulp and paper products improved in the second quarter, and we completed our major annual maintenance at all our kraft pulp facilities,” said Richard Garneau, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Although overall economic indicators are weak, I believe our focus on cost and debt reduction should yield improved financial results in the second half of the year.”
SEGMENT DETAIL
The implementation of the plans of reorganization and the application of fresh start accounting materially changed the carrying amounts and classifications reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company also began allocating all of its selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses back to each product line, with the
exception of special items, during the first quarter of 2011. Accordingly, the Company’s operating results, including depreciation, for periods before December 31, 2010, are not comparable to the operating results after December 31, 2010.
Newsprint
For the second quarter of 2011, the newsprint segment had operating income of $26 million, an increase of $7 million from the first quarter operating income of $19 million. The Company’s average transaction price increased $9 per metric ton compared to the first quarter of 2011. Average operating costs were equivalent to the first quarter, primarily as a result of a $9 million energy benefit that was booked in the quarter relating to prior quarters for the implementation of an Ontario power program, offset by a stronger Canadian dollar and higher recycle fiber costs. Total newsprint shipments were 41,000 metric tons higher in the second quarter compared to the first quarter. The downtime and roof damage that occurred in February at the Clermont, Quebec facility reduced production by approximately 31,000 metric tons during the quarter. The machine restarted in June and is performing well.
Coated Papers
Operating income for coated papers for the second quarter was $23 million compared to operating income of $3 million in the first quarter. The Company’s average transaction price for coated papers increased $28 per short ton in the quarter with the implementation of the April price increase reported by third parties. Average operating costs decreased $93 per short ton from the first quarter as a result of particularly high maintenance in the first quarter at the Catawba, South Carolina facility.
Specialty Papers
For the second quarter, the specialty papers segment had operating income of $11 million compared to breakeven in the first quarter. The Company’s average transaction price increased $26 per short ton with the implementation of the second quarter price increase reported by third parties. Average operating costs were equivalent to the first quarter, including a $3 million energy benefit that was booked in the quarter relating to prior quarters for the implementation of an Ontario power program. During the second quarter, the Company curtailed 26,000 tons of production due to weak demand.
Market Pulp
Operating income for market pulp was $14 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to operating income of $23 million in the first quarter. The average market pulp transaction price increased $32 from the first quarter. Average operating costs increased $64 per metric ton compared to the first quarter as a result of kraft mill maintenance outages at the Thunder Bay, Calhoun and Coosa Pines facilities and the stronger Canadian
dollar, partially offset by a $2 million energy benefit that was booked in the quarter relating to prior quarters for the implementation of an Ontario power program.
Wood Products
For the second quarter of 2011, wood products had an operating loss of $14 million compared to an operating loss of $3 million in the first quarter. The average lumber transaction price for the Company decreased $20 per thousand board feet while costs increased by $6 per thousand board feet. Our operating rate is still very low with about 150 million board feet of our capacity idled.
ACH Limited Partnership and Debt Reduction
As previously disclosed, in the second quarter, the Company sold its 75% equity interest in ACH Limited Partnership (ACH). The Company received cash proceeds of approximately $300 million. The Company used the proceeds to repay approximately $270 million of its debt during the quarter.
Outlook
“We remain cautious about the economy and the impact it could have on advertising and, in turn, paper demand,” said Garneau. “We expect pulp pricing to be weaker but still expect pricing to stabilize later in the year. In addition, the end of the 10% lumber export tax on shipments of lumber from Canada to the U.S. should provide additional relief in the weak lumber segment.”
Earnings Conference Call
A conference call hosted by management to discuss these financial results will be held today at 9:00 a.m. Eastern. The conference call number is 1-866-696-5910 with the pass code 1285315.

ABITIBIBOWATER INC.
Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statement Information
| (1) | On April 16 and 17, 2009, AbitibiBowater and certain of its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware for relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, and under the Companies’ Creditor Arrangement Act with the Superior Court of Quebec in Canada (the “Creditor Protection Proceedings”). On December 9, 2010, we emerged from the Creditor Protection Proceedings. In accordance with FASB ASC 852, fresh start accounting was required upon our emergence from the Creditor Protection Proceedings, which we applied on December 31, 2010 (the “Convenience Date”). |
The application of fresh start accounting materially changed the carrying amounts and classifications reported in our unaudited consolidated financial statements and resulted in AbitibiBowater becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2010 and for periods subsequent to December 31, 2010 are not comparable to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the periods prior to December 31, 2010. References to “Successor” refer to AbitibiBowater on or after December 31, 2010 after giving effect to fresh start accounting. References to “Predecessor” refer to AbitibiBowater prior to December 31, 2010. Additionally, references to periods on or after December 31, 2010 refer to the Successor and references to periods prior to December 31, 2010 refer to the Predecessor.
| (2) | During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded accelerated depreciation charges of $1 million related to the permanent closure of a de-inking line at our Alma, Quebec paper mill and $2 million related to the permanent closure of a paper machine and a thermomechanical pulp line at our Baie-Comeau, Quebec paper mill. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded $8 million of long-lived asset impairment charges and accelerated depreciation, and $6 million of severance and OPEB curtailment as a result of the decision to cease paperboard production at our Coosa Pines, Alabama mill. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded $3 million of severance and other costs, primarily for miscellaneous adjustments to severance liabilities and asset retirement obligations. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we recorded $2 million of long-lived asset impairment charges related to our previously closed Covington, Tennessee facility and $3 million of other costs relating to a civil lawsuit from a previously-closed mill. |
| (3) | During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we sold our investment in ACH Limited Partnership and various other assets for proceeds of $299 million, resulting in a net gain on disposition of assets of $3 million. During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we sold our Kenora paper mill and various other assets for proceeds of $5 million, resulting in a net gain on disposition of assets of $1 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we sold various assets for proceeds of $5 million, resulting in a net gain on disposition of assets of $4 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we sold various assets for proceeds of $9 million, resulting in a net gain on disposition of assets of $9 million. At June 30, 2011, we held the following assets for sale: our Alabama River paper mill, our Petit Saguenay sawmill and various other assets. |
| (4) | During the three months ended June 30, 2011, an income tax benefit of $39 million was recorded, primarily due to a tax reserve adjustment. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, an income tax benefit of $14 million was recorded, primarily due to the non-taxability of foreign currency and certain deferred tax adjustments. During the three months ended June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, income tax benefits of approximately $9 million and $1 million, respectively, arising primarily from operating losses outside the United States, were entirely offset by tax charges to increase our tax valuation allowance. |
| (5) | For the calculation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, no adjustments to net income (loss) attributable to AbitibiBowater are necessary. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, no adjustment to the diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the assumed conversion of the pre-petition convertible notes, which were outstanding at that time, was necessary, as the impact would have been anti-dilutive. |
| (6) | On January 14, 2011, we acquired the 47.5% noncontrolling interest in Augusta Newsprint Company, which operates our newsprint mill in Augusta, Georgia, for $15 million cash and a secured promissory note in the principal amount of $90 million. Since we had control of Augusta Newsprint Company, our consolidated statements have already consolidated this entity. The acquisition of the noncontrolling interest was accounted for as an equity transaction. We used the proceeds from the sale of our interest in ACH Limited Partnership to redeem a portion of our senior secured notes and to repay in full the Augusta secured promissory note mentioned above. |
| (7) | A reconciliation of certain financial statement line items reported under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to our use of non-GAAP measures of operating income (loss), net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share reported before special items is presented in the tables below. We believe that these measures allow investors to more easily compare our ongoing operations and financial performance from period to period. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to and not as a substitute for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Consequently, investors should rely on GAAP operating income (loss), net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share. Non-GAAP measures included in our press release include: |
Operating income (loss) before special items - is defined as operating income (loss) from our Consolidated Statements of Operations adjusted for special items. Internally, we use a non-GAAP operating income (loss) measure as an indicator of a segment’s performance and excludes closure costs, impairment and other related charges, severance costs, gains on dispositions of assets and other discretionary charges or credits from GAAP operating income (loss). Therefore, this non-GAAP presentation is consistent with our internal presentation. This non-GAAP measure should be used in addition to and not as a substitute for operating income (loss) provided in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. We believe that this non-GAAP measure is useful because it is consistent with our internal presentation and performance analysis and allows investors to more easily compare our ongoing operations and financial performance from period to period.
Net income (loss) before special items - is defined as net income (loss) from our Consolidated Statements of Operations adjusted for the special items discussed above plus foreign exchange gains or losses and reorganization items and post-emergence costs. The adjustment for these items is consistent with our internal presentation. This non-GAAP measure should be used in addition to and not as a substitute for net income (loss) provided in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. We believe that this non-GAAP measure is useful because it is consistent with our internal presentation and allows investors to more easily compare our ongoing operations and financial performance from period to period.
Net income (loss) per share (EPS) before special items - is defined as diluted EPS calculated based on the net income (loss) before special items. This non-GAAP measure should be used in addition to and not as a substitute for our net income (loss) per share calculated in accordance with GAAP as provided in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We believe that this non-GAAP measure is useful because it is consistent with our internal presentation and allows investors to more easily compare our EPS from ongoing operations and financial performance from period to period.

| (8) | A reconciliation of our operating income (loss) reported under GAAP to our use of the non-GAAP measure of EBITDA by reportable segment is presented in the tables below. EBITDA by reportable segment is defined as operating income (loss) from our Consolidated Statements of Operations, allocated to our reportable segments (newsprint, coated papers, specialty papers, market pulp and wood products) in accordance with FASB ASC 290, “Segment Reporting,” adjusted by depreciation, amortization and cost of timber harvested. We believe that this non-GAAP measure allows investors to more easily compare the ongoing operations and financial performance of our reportable segments from period to period. Internally, we use this EBITDA by reportable segment measure as an indicator of a reportable segment’s performance. Therefore, this non-GAAP measure is consistent with our internal presentation. We believe that this non-GAAP measure is useful because it is consistent with our internal presentation and performance analysis and allows investors to more easily compare our ongoing financial performance from period to period. This non- GAAP measure should be used in addition to and not as a substitute for operating income (loss) by reportable segment provided in the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements in our quarterly filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |
