Paper segment operating income was $130 million in 2025 and in 2024. Paper segment EBITDA excluding special items was $148 million in 2025, compared to $154 million in 2024. 1 The decrease was due primarily to higher operating costs and lower paper volumes, partially offset by higher prices and mix.
