International Paper Is Packaging Up Profits (6/28/14)

International Paper is ramping up payouts and stock buybacks. Shares could rise 40% and a 2.9% dividend.

Don't be fooled by the name: International Paper is a cash machine.

International Paper (ticker: IP) expects to produce about $1.5 billion in free cash this year and $2 billion next year, after funding pension obligations. That's up from about $400 million a year before the company bought Weyerhaeuser's packaging operations in 2008; it then acquired rival Temple-Inland in 2012. With the debt from those acquisitions now paid down to a comfortable level, the company is turning its attentions to returning more capital to shareholders.

"International Paper isn't a growth story," CEO John Faraci told Barron's. Faraci has led the packaging giant since 2003, transforming it to a global powerhouse. "It's about free cash flow."

The company's shares have been under pressure from unusual factors, from a weak ruble to bad weather, but the company looks poised to regain momentum as it continues to improve operations, expand margins, and use its enormous free cash flow for dividend increases and share buybacks. The combination of improving fundamentals and the return of cash to shareholders should translate into a higher stock valuation and outstanding total return for shareholders.

International Paper is expected to post earnings of $1.5 billion this year, or $3.57 a share, on revenue of $29.2 billion. The company's shares closed on Friday at $49.05.

Some on Wall Street see the shares rising as high as $66 to $70 a share—as much as 43% higher—in the next 12 months, as strong demand leads to tighter supplies in the containerboard market, eventually leading to rising prices and substantial earnings growth.

AT CURRENT LEVELS, the shares are a bargain. International Paper ranks among the least expensive in its peer group, trading at 6.8 times estimates for 2014 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, compared with the 8.2 times that Packaging Corp. of America (PKG) fetches and 9.3 times for MeadWestvaco (MWV). A year ago, International Paper traded closer to eight times Ebitda. International Paper is also less expensive than its peers, based on a multiple of projected 2015 earnings.

"We're very positive on the stock," says Philip Ng, analyst at Jefferies Group. "It's a cheap stock; the fundamentals have bottomed; it's generating a ton of cash flow; and it's a play on the recovering U.S. economy."

The Memphis-based company is the world's leading producer of the containerboard used to make corrugated brown boxes in which 95% of all goods are shipped. And the company is seeing hopeful signs that the U.S. economy might be gaining steam. Sales in its industrial-packaging business were up 3% year over year in April, the best performance it has posted in more than three years. Stronger sales continued into May, and Faraci says the business climate in the second quarter "feels a whole lot better" than that of the first quarter, when the box business declined amid a contracting economy.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE LOWER volumes and weather-related high costs in the first quarter, the industrial-packaging business still managed to post record first-quarter operating profits. While 75% of its revenue is domestic, International Paper's operations in Russia, Brazil, China, and India position it to take advantage of growth opportunities in the emerging markets.

Industrial packaging is International Paper's biggest business, generating 48% of annual sales; the company derives 21% of its revenue from its printing-papers division, which makes office paper as well as pulp for fluff used in tissue and diapers. And its consumer-packaging group, which makes cartons and containers and cups, constitutes 12% of total sales.

IP's distribution-solutions group, which makes up 19% of sales, is set to be spun off July 1 and merged with UWW Holdings to form a new company, Veritiv, of which International Paper shareholders will own 51%.

International Paper will get $400 million from the Veritiv transaction, which, along with IP's estimated $1.5 billion in free cash from operations this year, can go to buy back shares and continue to increase the dividend payout. (The company has $8.9 billion in debt, which is manageable at three times Ebitda.) IP has bought back more than $1 billion of its shares since it authorized the $1.5 billion program last September, well ahead of what it thought would be a two- to three-year time frame. It hiked its dividend in September by 17%, to $1.40 a share annually. The stock has a dividend yield of 2.9%.

The Bottom Line

IP shares are among the least expensive in its peer group. Some analysts see the company as a play on a recovering economy; shares could rise to $70 from a recent $49.05.

Based on a target for IP of eventually paying out between 30% and 40% of its free cash flow, CEO Faraci sees the potential for the dividend to increase to a sustainable level of between $1.80 and $2 a share. "Our approach to raising the dividend will be periodic and incremental, but it will be meaningful," he said in a telephone interview.

REGARDLESS OF WHAT happens on the macroeconomic front—Faraci cautions that overall economic growth remains "choppy"—International Paper is still finding ways to fine-tune its business and reduce costs, and it expects to add $200 million in additional earnings in the next few years as it tweaks its supply-chain processes and makes changes at its mills and in its customer base. Ebitda margins in the North American industrial packaging business have risen to 22% from 13% since completing the Temple-Inland and Weyerhaeuser deals, and they are not yet at peak levels.

The company expects that margins will be much higher three to five years from now, as worldwide demand for containerboard drives prices higher. Ng, the Jefferies analyst, notes that a $50-a-ton price increase in containerboard—from around $630 now—would result in more than a $1 per share of extra earnings at International Paper.

IP's consumer-packaging business is seeing a pickup in demand and pricing improvement as major fast-food chains such as McDonald's and Dunkin' Donuts switch to recyclable paper cups and containers from Styrofoam because of environmental concerns.

Earlier this month, International Paper named Mark Sutton, a 30-year veteran of the company who most recently oversaw industrial-packaging operations, to the posts of president and chief operating officer. That makes him the heir apparent to the CEO position when Faraci steps down next year at the age of 65, as mandated by the company's bylaws.

International Paper is stronger—and far more profitable—than it was when Faraci took the top spot. Its best days could be yet to come.

Letter i sent to keep the Alabama Mill open and profiting to the company.

As employees of the International Paper Mill in Courtland, Alabama recently learned of the closing and our local news media reporting on the closing...
Part of me wants to just lash out and ask what in the bloody hell you people in the corporation are doing... But i will try to remain somewhat decent for the sake of both of us.

I don't buy into the argument that the weak economy is to blame for the plants closing. The real blame lies within your company "International Paper". It's apparent that management has mismanaged day to day operations to the point that it hurts (not those in the company) but the hourly wage employees. Families are being forced into stressful and dire financial situations all thanks to bullsh%t companies failing to meet the overalll objective to operate WITHIN COMPANY MEANS to turn a profit. Instead of closing, you guys should remain open, and employee the modest number of employees that is needed for the plant to operate the three shifts, 7 days a week, 365 days a year that you need.

Now than ever before, it is strictly IMPERATIVE companies need to look into greener technologies as a way to decrease the cost of operating that is freely given through wind, solar, etc. Through operating the company on the right path, and implementing all these changes at all manufacturing facilities, the company will see a better future and profitability. Stay competitive with competition and undercut at the knees if that's what it takes to win customers over to use International Paper. Please do the right thing and quit with all this bullsh%t. Last i checked... the Economy didn't dictate businesses.... ITS BUSINESSES THAT DICTATE WHAT AND HOW THE ECONOMY REACTS! Please pass this along to every important person within the company including the CEO, CFO and Board. I will continue to post until i am heard. You guys have my number if you need to contact me personally.

Looking to make a difference

"Don't catch a falling knife," as the old saw commands. (Pardon my mixing a cutlery metaphor.) The idea of buying a former superstar stock at a discount price certainly has its attractions, but you've got to make sure you catch the haft -- not the blade. That's where Motley Fool CAPS comes in.

Today, we once again stand beneath Mr. Market's silverware drawer, measuring which knives have fallen the farthest. Then we'll call on CAPS to ask which of these stocks -- if any -- Foolish investors believe are ready for a rebound. Let's meet today's list of contenders, drawn from the latest "52-Week Lows" list at WSJ.com:

If there's one good thing about a broad-based market sell-off, it's that you find a lot of terrific companies getting the ol' baby 'n' bathwater treatment, tossed out on their rosy little bums as if they were bums of another sort. You just know that some of these babies will bounce right back once the suds subside.

And what a batch of bargains we've got this week! FedEx and UPS? International Paper? Capital One? Thanks to our once-in-a-century sell-off, some of the biggest brands on the planet are going for fire-sale prices. While investors seem hesitant to take Mr. Market up on some of these bargains -- and downright terrified to see what's in Capital One's wallet -- there's one stock on today's list that they think offers a cure for what ails your portfolio. Are they right?

International Paper shares fall after downgrade
Analyst downgrades International Paper stock on prospects for a dividend cut, stock falls
Monday February 2, 2009, 10:25 am EST
Yahoo! Buzz Print Related:International Paper Co.
NEW YORK (AP) -- International Paper Co. shares fell shaprly Monday after a Wall Street analyst said he expects the biggest paper and forest products company in the United States to cut its dividend by midyear.

Goldman Sachs analyst Richard Skidmore downgraded the stock to "Sell" from "Neutral" to reflect the company's fourth quarter 2008 earnings shortfall in its core business, an expected loss for this year and his expectations IP will cut its dividend.

"Although IP stock is down 23 percent year to date, we do not believe the market has factored in an earnings loss for IP in 2009, which increases, in our view, the probability of a dividend cut by mid-2009," he wrote Monday in a client note.

Skidmore also chopped his share price forecast by more than half.

"Combined with a challenging near-term cyclical outlook for uncoated freesheet and containerboard prices and demand, we see negative 2009 earnings per share and a dividend cut as catalysts to pressure IP shares to our new $6 per share six-month price target (from $14), implying 34 percent potential downside."

Further, the analyst forecast a loss of 30 cents a share for International Paper in contrast with his earlier projection of a profit of 70 cents a share. A poll of analysts found an average expectation for IP's earnings this year of 41 cents a share, according to Thomson Reuters.

Shares fell 91 cents, or 10 percent, to $8.21 in morning trading after falling to a 52-week low of $8.05 earlier in the session.

NEW YEAR (AP) -- International Paper Co. stock tumbled Friday after the largest U.S. paper and forest products company lost money in the fourth quarter because the recession forced it to shut mills struggling with tepid demand.

Symbol Price Change
IP 7.29 +0.10

News of the $452 million loss led one analyst to cut his share price target to $11 from $16. Deutsche Bank-North America analyst Mark Wilde maintained his "Hold" rating but trimmed his earnings per share estimate for this year to nil from 50 cents.

Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expect, on average, 85 cents.

"With a weak economy, declining demand, and a strengthening U.S. dollar, we think that earnings will remain cyclically depressed in the near-term," he said in a client note.

"The greatest downside risk facing IP is global economic risk. Other downside risks include spikes in input costs such as energy, fiber, freight, and chemicals."

The stock fell $1.40, or 13.3 percent, to close at $9.12. The stock has declined by 73 percent from a 52-week high of $33.77 last February.
