Q3 2025 saw significant operating and net losses due to persistent weakness in global lumber and pulp markets, higher US softwood lumber duties, and subdued demand across all regions.
Adjusted operating loss was $111.3 million after $97 million in one-time items, including inventory and asset write-downs and duty expenses.
Adjusted net loss for shareholders was $171.2 million ($1.47 per share), compared to $67.0 million ($0.56 per share) in Q2 2025.
Completed the acquisition of AB Karl Hedin Sågverk, adding three sawmills in Sweden and expanding European operations.
Portfolio diversification and cost structure improvements achieved, with about 70% of business now outside Canada, reducing duty exposure.
Financial highlights

Reported consolidated operating loss was $208.3 million, improving from Q2 2025 but still reflecting challenging conditions.

Net debt at quarter-end was $675.0 million, with a net debt to total capitalization ratio of 17.4%.

Outlook and guidance
North American lumber and global pulp markets expected to remain weak through year-end, with inventories above balanced range and economic uncertainty persisting.
European market conditions are the most challenging since 2019, with modest supply-driven improvement possible in Q4 2025 and broader recovery more likely in 2026.
Pulp market recovery requires significant supply reduction; current excess inventory estimated at 1–1.5 million tons.
CPPI faces risk of non-compliance with financial covenants in Q4 2025 due to expected lower results and scheduled maintenance outage; management is seeking a waiver and implementing cost-saving measures.
Anticipated capital spend for 2025: CAD 240 million (lumber), CAD 45 million (pulp); for 2026: CAD 175 million (lumber), CAD 35 million (pulp).

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
