| Significant Earning Potential China's fiscal tightening in 2011 combined with weakness in Europe create NBSK trough pricing conditions Currently at a pulp pricing cycle bottom, but expected to improve in 2013 Annual Consolidated Operating EBITDA (1) (CHART) (CHART) 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 Quarterly Consolidated Operating EBITDA (1) For a reconciliation of Net Income to Operating EBITDA, please refer to Appendix D. Operating EBITDA is defined as operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization and non-recurring capital asset impairment charges. It does not reflect the impact of a number of items that affect net income. It is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or income from operations as a measure of performance, nor as an alternative to net cash from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. |

| Appendix B Detail on NBSK Supply and Demand |
| Introduction to the Major Themes in NBSK The impact of digital media on paper demandThe proliferation of digital media on tablets / smart-phones has displaced demand for newsprint and other news type magazine grade papers; however, newsprint and many of these low-grade magazine papers use mostly mechanical, hardwood or recycled pulps, and little if any NBSK ? Current themes surrounding the NBSK market include: The effect of China and other emerging economies' continuing growthRising living standards, increasing disposable income, and greater focus on personal hygiene are enabling demand for NBSK-dependent products to steadily growExample: Dec. 21, 2012 (RISI) - China's two largest tissue producers, Hengan and APP, have announced plans to build 50 new tissue machines at various sites in China by the end of 2015, adding over 2.3 million tonnes/yr of new capacity. ? The net supply impact of mill closures, starts/restarts, and facility conversionsWe expect that the anticipated new capacity from the Ilim mill should be more than offset by mill closures (Fort Frances, ON) and by the conversion of softwood pulp capacity to DP, including the recently restarted Terrace Bay NBSK mill ? The potential supply impact of integrated players selling their pulp on the marketSome European producers have been selling increased volumes of previously integrated pulp into the market; this has been a fairly consistent trend since 2009Despite this, global SW producer pulp stocks currently remain at near record lows US integrated players' ability to sell pulp to market is currently limited due to a lack of pulp dryer capacity ? |
| Putting NBSK's History into Perspective (CHART) After undergoing significant changes over the past 20+ years, we believe the market for NBSK is trending from balanced to tight, with the substitution of NBSK for other pulps largely completed The Beginning:NBSK used in everything - no recycling, limited hardwood Substitutes are Created:South American hardwood pulp (BEK) producers emerge More Substitutes are Created:Recycling of paper gains traction, creating "new" source of fibre Capacity Rebalancing:Old, uncompetitive NBSK capacity is shutdown Global Credit Crisis:Extremely tough market conditions cause even more capacity to shutdown Shortage! ? price surge Substitution Limit Quickly Reached:Manufacturers substitute as much of these lower quality, less expensive pulps as possible (still require some NBSK for strength) Producers Rebound:Price surge entices shuttered high cost capacity to come back online Sources: Factset FOEX PIX Pulp NBSK (prices); PPPC (inventories) China's Credit:China restricts credit in efforts to slow pace of growth ^Supply, ^Prices:Stocks are low, prices increasing: $900/t announced for January |
| Changes to NBSK End Use Markets Changes to Papermakers' Demand for NBSK Changes to End Users' Demand for Paper We believe pulp users are reaching the limit of substituting cheaper HW / recycled pulps in place of NBSKNBSK, a premium pulp grade, has key strength attributes that make it a required input for many paper gradesModern machines with faster production rates, increased recycled content, and lower basis weights require strong materialsLow quality papers can use relatively more HW / recycled pulp than higher quality papers Low-grade papers, requiring little NBSK, are decliningProducts include mechanical papers and newsprintCaused by digital media substitutionHigh-grade papers, requiring a lot of NBSK, are fast growingProducts include tissues and specialtiesIncrease in global demand for NBSK is expected to be nearly 2.6 million tpy which is still much greater than the anticipated increased in supply from new mills Impact of Paper / Tissue Expansion on NBSK Demand (2011-2016) (2) Impact of Paper / Tissue Expansion on NBSK Demand (2011-2016) (2) Impact of Paper / Tissue Expansion on NBSK Demand (2011-2016) (2) Impact of Paper / Tissue Expansion on NBSK Demand (2011-2016) (2) Impact of Paper / Tissue Expansion on NBSK Demand (2011-2016) (2) Impact of Paper / Tissue Expansion on NBSK Demand (2011-2016) (2) Production Grade Gross ^ Capacity (kt) Approx.

| Appendix D Reconciliation of Net Income to Operating EBITDA |
| Reconciling Net Income (Loss) to Operating EBITDA Operating EBITDA is defined as operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization and non-recurring capital asset impairment charges. Management uses Operating EBITDA as a benchmark measurement of its own operating results, and as a benchmark relative to its competitors. Management considers it to be a meaningful supplement to operating income as a performance measure primarily because depreciation expense and non-recurring capital asset impairment charges are not an actual cash cost, and depreciation expense varies widely from company to company in a manner that management considers largely independent of the underlying cost efficiency of their operating facilities. In addition, we believe Operating EBITDA is commonly used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate our financial performance.Operating EBITDA does not reflect the impact of a number of items that affect our net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, including financing costs and the effect of derivative instruments. Operating EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income (loss) from operations as a measure of performance, nor as an alternative to net cash from operating activities as a measure of liquidity.Operating EBITDA has significant limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Operating EBITDA should only be considered as a supplemental performance measure and should not be considered as a measure of liquidity or cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. Because all companies do not calculate Operating EBITDA in the same manner, Operating EBITDA as calculated by us may differ from Operating EBITDA or EBITDA as calculated by other companies. We compensate for these limitations by using Operating EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance and by relying primarily on our GAAP financial statements. Note: For other reconciliations of Net Income (Loss) to Operating EBITDA in periods not shown here, please refer to that period's respective Form 10-Q or 10-K, which can be found on our website (www.mercerint.com) |
