“The package segment had a good implementation of previously announced price increases, but we saw some pullbacks in the mid-quarter, related to uncertainty caused by global trade tensions, but we went beyond a very strong comparison period in the first quarter last year.

“To meet this demand, outstanding operational performance and scheduled outages provided first quarter container board production and ended the quarter at a targeted inventory level.

“Our paper segment continued to achieve impressive margins in both volume and price just above the original estimate. With an emphasis on operational efficiency, cost reduction initiatives and capital projects being implemented, we were able to minimize the sustained inflation seen mostly across our cost structure.”
