Clearwater Paper reported third-quarter 2026 net sales of $385 million, down from $399 million a year earlier, and a net loss of $2 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared with a $53 million loss in the prior-year quarter that included a goodwill impairment. The company guided fourth-quarter Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to $10 million to $20 million, and Chief Financial Officer Sherri Baker intends to resign effective November 13, 2026.
