Consolidated Overview
The net sales increase of 51% included revenue from the Glatfelter merger of $320 million that was partially offset by a $7 million decrease in selling prices and a 5% organic volume decline which was attributed to general market softness in Europe and competitive pressures from imports in South America.
The adjusted EBITDA increase of 23% included a contribution from the Glatfelter merger of $23 million partially offset by unfavorable impacts from a $4 million volume decline and $3 million from price/cost spread.
Americas
The net sales increase in the Americas segment included revenue from the Glatfelter merger of $124 million partially offset by decreased selling prices of $8 million, unfavorable foreign currency changes of $9 million, and a 6% organic volume decline, which was primarily attributed to competitive pressures from imports in South America.
The adjusted EBITDA increase included a contribution from the Glatfelter merger of $10 million partially offset by unfavorable impacts from price cost spread of $5 million and volume decline of $3 million.
Rest of World
The net sales increase in the Rest of World segment included revenue from the Glatfelter merger of $196 million and a $7 million favorable impact from foreign currency changes partially offset by a 3% organic volume decline which was primarily attributed to general market softness in Europe.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Estimates
This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures including, but not limited to, Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, and comparable basis net sales and adjusted EBITDA. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to comparable measures determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) is set forth at the end of this press release. Information reconciling forward-looking adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow are not provided because such information is not available without unreasonable effort due to high variability, complexity, and low visibility with respect to certain items, including debt refinancing activity or other non-comparable items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to our results computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
