Sappi Limited ( (SPPJY) ) has released its Q1 earnings. Here is a breakdown of the information Sappi Limited presented to its investors.

Sappi Limited, a global leader in woodfibre-based renewable resources, focuses on sustainable processes and products within the paper and pulp industry. The company reported a solid performance for the first quarter of 2025, with significant improvements in profitability and operational efficiency, despite global economic challenges. Key highlights include a notable increase in Adjusted EBITDA to $203 million, a swing to a profit of $70 million from a loss in the previous year, and an improvement in adjusted earnings per share to 14 US cents.
