International Paper Company is a global leader in sustainable packaging solutions, operating in over 30 countries with headquarters in Memphis, Tennessee, and London, UK. The company focuses on providing innovative packaging solutions while maintaining a strong commitment to sustainability.
In the second quarter of 2025, International Paper reported net earnings of $75 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, with adjusted operating earnings of $105 million, or $0.20 per diluted share. The company’s net sales for the quarter reached $6.8 billion, reflecting the integration of DS Smith’s packaging businesses.
Key financial highlights include a significant increase in net sales compared to the previous quarter and the same period last year, driven by the acquisition of DS Smith. The Packaging Solutions North America segment saw increased revenue due to higher sales prices and volumes, while the Packaging Solutions EMEA segment faced challenges with soft demand and increased depreciation expenses. The Global Cellulose Fibers segment experienced a decline in operating profit due to lower volumes and higher costs.
Despite facing cost headwinds and a heavy outage schedule, International Paper exceeded expectations on commercial actions and remains on track to achieve cost-out initiatives by year-end. The company anticipates stronger global revenue and earnings in the third quarter, supported by strategic wins and fewer planned maintenance outages.
Looking forward, International Paper is focused on maintaining an advantaged cost position, enhancing customer experience, and securing a high relative supply position as it continues its transformation into a differentiated and sustainable global packaging company.
