The largest producer and exporter of packaging paper and sustainable paper packaging solutions in Brazil, Klabin recorded Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Fees, Depreciation and Amortization) of R＄ 1,344 billion in the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of 27% compared to the same period of the previous year, excluding one-off effects. In the second quarter of 2023, the company achieved net income of R＄4.293 billion. It is worth highlighting the corrugated cardboard segment, whose revenue grew 5% in the second quarter of 2023 in the annual comparison. The positive result reinforces the benefits of Klabin's integrated business model. The ROIC (return on invested capital) reached 17.4% in the last 12 months, proving the Company's ability to generate value for shareholders even in challenging economic scenarios.
Sales of $1,103 million increased by $82 million or 8% compared to the same period last year, reflecting the consolidation of results from the Greenpac Mill beginning in the second quarter, improved pricing and sales mix in all four of the Corporation's business segments, and additional sales from recovery and recycling activities due to higher recycled fibre pricing. These benefits were partially offset by lower volumes in our North American operations, and the stronger Canadian dollar which resulted in a less favourable CAD/USD exchange rate. Third quarter operating income stood at $51 million , a slight improvement from $50 million last year. This performance reflects the inclusion of Greenpac in the current quarter, price increases mainly in Containerboard, and lower Corporate activities costs related to lower stock-based compensation expense. These were offset by higher raw material costs, and higher production costs in Containerboard and Tissue, due to freight and logistics, and increased use of outside contracting. Specific items recorded in the current period (please refer to the ''Supplemental Information on Non-IFRS Measures'' section for more details) decreased operating income by $2 million . On an adjusted basis, third quarter operating income stood at $53 million , down slightly from $55 million in the prior year period. Click Read More below for additional information.
