Description: RYAM Rayonier Advanced Materials October 27, 2025

Rayonier Advanced Materials (RYAM) produces and markets a broad portfolio of cellulose-based specialty and commodity products across six geographic regions. Its operations are organized into three segments-High Purity Cellulose, Paperboard, and High-Yield Pulp-supplying natural polymers for applications ranging from LCD panels, impact-resistant plastics, and pharmaceutical thickeners to rayon textiles, absorbent fluff for hygiene products, and packaging paperboards.

In FY 2023 the company generated roughly $1.2 billion in revenue with an adjusted EBITDA margin of about 12%, and it reported a backlog of ~ $200 million, indicating near-term demand strength. Key economic drivers include the accelerating shift toward sustainable packaging (which boosts paperboard volumes) and the growth of electric-vehicle tire-cord demand, while Asian pulp price volatility and logistics bottlenecks remain material cost risks. Capacity utilization across its U.S. and European plants averaged ~ 85%, suggesting limited headroom for rapid volume expansion without new investments.
