RYAM Sales Drop 19%
Rayonier Advanced Materials (NYSE:RYAM), a leading manufacturer of high-purity cellulose and related plant-based products, reported Q2 FY2025 earnings on August 5, 2025. The earnings release revealed a pronounced setback: GAAP earnings per share were $(5.48) in Q2 2025, a significant miss compared to the consensus GAAP estimate of $(0.23). GAAP revenue also came in well below expectations at $340 million versus the forecast of $385.5 million. Management cited extraordinary, largely non-recurring obstacles in Q2 2025, including tariff-related slowdowns, operational disruptions, and a substantial non-cash tax charge. Overall, the quarter marked a step down from previous periods, as reflected in the Q2 2025 GAAP results, and a heavy GAAP net loss weighed down by the write-off.
