Jan 29, 11:55 PMInternational Paper shares fall after a Q4 miss (adjusted loss $0.08 on $6.01B) as it plans to spin off its EMEA packaging unit within 12–15 months (dual London/NYSE listing under CEO-designate Tim Nicholls), invest about $400M in EMEA in 2026, and close at least seven more EMEA sites with 700+ job cuts. It outlined pro forma 2025 figures for the post-separation North American packaging business (> $15B net sales, ~ $2.3B adjusted EBITDA), guided 2026 sales to $24.1–$24.9B, adjusted EBITDA to $3.5–$3.7B and free cash flow to $300–$500M, expects Q1 EBITDA of $740–$760M including a $20–$25M winter-storm hit, flagged $80M 2026 Riverdale conversion costs, and disclosed a $2.84B 2025 loss.
