Total EBITDA

• Operating EBITDA for the Dissolving Pulp Segment for the quarter was $5.4 million compared to $2.1 million operating EBITDA in the second quarter of 2015. Results in the third quarter were positively impacted by improved dissolving pulp sales price, increased power generation and exchange rates on sales.

• Production costs averaged $818 per ADMT of dissolving

pulp in the third quarter. Production costs increased slightly over Q2 cost mainly due to increased repairs and maintenance cost compared to prior quarter.

• Sales totaled $48.5 million for the quarter compared to

revenue from the generation of power in the third quarter compared to $5.5 million in the second quarter of 2015.

• The Company sold 45,377 air dried metric tonnes

(“ADMT”) of dissolving pulp in the third quarter. • The FSC mill produced 39,367 ADMT of dissolving

pulp during the third quarter.

• The FSC mill held 1,621 ADMT of dissolving pulp inventory at September 30, 2015 compared to 7,628 ADMT of Dissolving Pulp inventory at June 30, 2015. The low Inventory levels are a reflection of mill order back log and the timing of sales. Management expects to see these normalise over the short term.

• The Landqart mill continues to build on a strong order book for 2015 comprised of a mix of new and repeat orders.

• Production of Durasafe® for the substrate of the ninth series of the Swiss franc for the Swiss National

Bank (“SNB”) began in 2014 and is expected to continue in 2015 and beyond. • Recent unexpected monetary policy changes in Switzerland resulted in a material appreciation of the

Swiss franc against the euro in January of 2015. The Landqart mill is exposed to foreign currency exchange fluctuations, as a significant amount of its sales are denominated in euros and some major costs are denominated in Swiss francs.

• The Landqart mill has implemented a foreign exchange counter measure program which has

identified areas to materially mitigate the negative financial impact in both the short and mid-term.
