Empresas CMPC SA
Empresas CMPC is a Chile-based forest products company that grows timber and turns it into pulp, paper, tissue, packaging materials, and wood products. It sells the basic materials that go into items like cardboard boxes, toilet paper, napkins, office paper, and other everyday paper goods. Its main customers are packaging makers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and large industrial buyers that need pulp, paper, and fiber-based materials. CMPC also sells finished consumer products such as tissue and personal care paper under its own brands in several markets, so it serves both business customers and households. The company makes money by selling these forest-based products and by controlling much of the supply chain itself, from plantations and timber to manufacturing and distribution. That integrated model matters because it gives CMPC direct control over raw materials, production quality, and product mix, which is a key advantage in a business where fiber supply and manufacturing efficiency shape results.

Sales flat: CMPC reported first-quarter sales of $1.8 billion, essentially flat year on year and down 4% from the prior quarter.
EBITDA softer: Consolidated EBITDA was $255 million at a 14.1% margin, down 8% year on year and 2% quarter on quarter, with Guaiba maintenance weighing on pulp.
Cost discipline: Management said tighter cost control is starting to show up in better margins at Biopackaging and higher EBITDA in Softys.
Natureza delayed: The Natureza project remains strategically important, but the final Board decision is now expected later this year because environmental and social licensing is taking longer than planned.
Leverage focus: Net debt was roughly $5 billion and net debt-to-EBITDA was 4.1x; management expects gradual deleveraging through 2026 through better results, working capital improvements and possible asset monetizations.
