Riceboro will cease all operations by September 12, 2025, reducing containerboard capacity by ~430,000 tons and leading to estimated aggregate pre-tax non-cash charges of ~$170 million and aggregate pre-tax cash severance/shutdown charges of ~$77 million, with ~300 employees affected. Savannah will cease all operations by September 30, 2025, reducing capacity by ~1,000,000 tons and leading to estimated aggregate pre-tax non-cash charges of ~$400 million and aggregate pre-tax cash severance/shutdown charges of ~$81 million, with ~680 employees affected. The company expects total aggregate pre-tax cash charges of approximately $158 million and pre-tax non-cash accelerated depreciation charges of approximately $570 million, recorded during the quarter ending September 30, 2025.

International Paper Company ha comunicato il 20 agosto 2025 la chiusura definitiva prevista delle sue attività di cartone in container a Riceboro (GA) e Savannah (GA) nell’ambito della strategia 80/20. Lo stabilimento di Riceboro terminerà tutte le attività entro il 12 settembre 2025, riducendo la capacità di containerboard di circa 430.000 tonnellate; ciò comporterà oneri pre-tasse non monetari stimati in circa 170 milioni di dollari e oneri pre-tasse in contanti per licenziamenti/chiusura stimati in circa 77 milioni di dollari, con circa 300 dipendenti interessati. Lo stabilimento di Savannah cesserà le attività entro il 30 settembre 2025, riducendo la capacità di circa 1.000.000 di tonnellate e generando oneri pre-tasse non monetari stimati intorno a 400 milioni di dollari e oneri pre-tasse in contanti per licenziamenti/chiusura stimati in circa 81 milioni di dollari, con circa 680 dipendenti coinvolti. L’azienda prevede oneri totali pre-tasse in contanti aggregati di circa 158 milioni di dollari e ammortamenti accelerati pre-tasse non monetari aggregati di circa 570 milioni di dollari, da registrare nel trimestre che termina il 30 settembre 2025.

International Paper Company a annoncé le 20 août 2025 la fermeture définitive prévue de ses unités de carton containerboard à Riceboro (GA) et Savannah (GA) dans le cadre de sa stratégie 80/20. Riceboro cessera toute activité d’ici le 12 septembre 2025, réduisant la capacité d’environ 430 000 tonnes ; cela entraînera des charges non monétaires avant impôts estimées à ~170 millions de dollars et des charges avant impôts en espèces pour licenciements/arrêt estimées à ~77 millions de dollars, environ 300 salariés étant concernés.

International Paper Company gab am 20. August 2025 bekannt, dass im Rahmen der 80/20-Strategie die Containerboard-Standorte in Riceboro (GA) und Savannah (GA) dauerhaft geschlossen werden sollen. Riceboro stellt den Betrieb bis zum 12. September 2025 vollständig ein und reduziert die Containerboard-Kapazität um etwa 430.000 Tonnen; dies führt zu geschätzten konsolidierten vorsteuerlichen nicht zahlungswirksamen Aufwendungen von rund 170 Mio. USD und vorsteuerlichen zahlungswirksamen Abfindungs-/Stilllegungskosten von etwa 77 Mio. USD; etwa 300 Mitarbeitende sind betroffen. Savannah stellt den Betrieb bis zum 30. September 2025 ein, verringert die Kapazität um etwa 1.000.000 Tonnen und verursacht geschätzte vorsteuerliche nicht zahlungswirksame Aufwendungen von rund 400 Mio. USD sowie vorsteuerliche zahlungswirksame Abfindungs-/Stilllegungskosten von etwa 81 Mio. USD; rund 680 Beschäftigte sind betroffen. Das Unternehmen erwartet aggregierte vorsteuerliche zahlungswirksame Aufwendungen von etwa 158 Mio. USD und vorsteuerliche nicht zahlungswirksame beschleunigte Abschreibungen von rund 570 Mio. USD, die im Quartal zum 30. September 2025 erfasst werden. Eine Pressemitteilung wurde als Exhibit 99.1 bereitgestellt.

Positive
  • Strategic focus through the 80/20 approach aims to align investments with the company's most strategic customers
  • Clear timelines and estimated charges are provided, improving disclosure transparency for investors
Negative
  • Material capacity reduction of approximately 1.43 million tons of containerboard, which is significant to North American supply from these mills
  • Large near-term charges: approximately $570 million in pre-tax non-cash accelerated depreciation and ~$158 million in aggregate pre-tax cash severance and shutdown charges
  • Workforce impact: expected reductions of ~980 employees across the two facilities

Insights

TL;DR: Material capacity reductions and >$700M combined pre-tax charges materially affect near-term earnings and asset base.

The announced closures remove ~1.43 million tons of containerboard capacity, representing a significant shrinkage in North American supply from these two mills. The company estimates aggregate pre-tax non-cash accelerated depreciation of ~$570 million and cash severance/shutdown charges of ~$158 million to be recorded in the quarter ending September 30, 2025. These one-time charges will reduce reported net income and book value in the quarter recorded; the depreciation write-offs are non-cash but indicate asset impairment. The disclosure is explicit on timing and magnitude; absent additional operating or cost-offset detail, near-term EPS and ROA metrics will be materially impacted by the stated amounts.

TL;DR: Strategic consolidation aims to lower costs but removes significant production capacity and workforce.

The 80/20 approach is described as focusing investment on strategic customers and reducing complexity. Operationally, staged shutdowns through mid-September 2025 will eliminate ~980 employees across both sites and 1.43 million tons of capacity, which may improve cost structure if remaining assets absorb demand. The filing provides clear timelines and estimated charges but does not provide post-closure capacity redeployment, logistics impacts, or expected cost savings amounts; therefore operational benefits are stated as strategic intent rather than quantified outcomes.

On August 20, 2025, International Paper Company (the “Company”) committed to mill closures at its Riceboro, Georgia and Savannah, Georgia facilities impacting its Containerboard business. The Company estimates the closures will result in aggregate pre-tax cash charges of approximately $158 million and pre-tax non-cash accelerated depreciation charges of approximately $570 million as further described below. These actions are being undertaken as part of the Company’s 80/20 strategic approach, as announced by the Company in July 2024.
