Income Statement Key Figures

Revenue and Revenue Growth

Revenue is the starting point of every income statement — it measures the total sales Clearwater Paper generates from its core business. Revenue growth (expressed as year-over-year percentage change) is one of the most important indicators of business momentum. Sustained growth above 10 % annually is generally considered strong, while declining revenue is a serious warning sign that demands investigation.

Gross Margin

Gross margin = (Revenue − Cost of Goods Sold) ÷ Revenue. It reveals what percentage of each dollar of revenue Clearwater Paper retains after direct production costs. High gross margins (above 50 %) are typical of asset-light businesses like software and brands, while capital-intensive industries like manufacturing often operate below 30 %. Compare Clearwater Paper's gross margin to industry peers and track it over time to spot improving or deteriorating pricing power.

EBIT and EBIT Margin

EBIT measures operating profit — what remains after subtracting all operating expenses (including R&D, sales, and administrative costs) from gross profit. The EBIT margin shows this as a percentage of revenue. Because it excludes interest and taxes, EBIT allows fair comparisons between companies with different debt levels and tax jurisdictions. A rising EBIT margin indicates improving operational efficiency.

Net Income and Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Net income is the company's final profit after all expenses, interest, and taxes. Dividing net income by the number of shares outstanding gives you EPS — the single most influential metric in stock valuation. Consistent EPS growth is the primary driver of long-term stock price appreciation. Always check whether EPS growth comes from genuine profit improvement or from share buybacks reducing the share count.

Shares Outstanding

The total number of shares Clearwater Paper has issued. A declining share count (through buybacks) boosts EPS and signals management confidence. A rising share count (through stock issuance) dilutes existing shareholders. Always monitor this number alongside EPS to get the full picture of per-share value creation.

Analyst Estimates

The projected figures represent consensus estimates from professional analysts. Compare these forecasts against Clearwater Paper's historical growth rates to assess whether expectations are realistic. A company that consistently beats consensus estimates tends to see its stock price rewarded over time, while repeated misses erode investor confidence.

Clearwater Paper Corp has several strengths that contribute to its success in the market. Firstly, the company has a strong brand reputation and recognition in the industry. This helps them attract and retain customers, and differentiate themselves from competitors. Secondly, Clearwater Paper Corp has a diverse product portfolio, offering a wide range of high-quality paper products to various industries. This allows them to cater to different customer needs and adapt to changing market demands. Additionally, the company has established strong relationships with key suppliers, ensuring a reliable and consistent supply of raw materials. This contributes to their efficient production processes and ability to meet customer orders on time.

Weaknesses

Despite its strengths, Clearwater Paper Corp faces several weaknesses that hinder its growth and competitiveness. One significant weakness is its heavy reliance on a few major customers for a significant portion of its revenue. Any fluctuations in these customer relationships or loss of contracts could have a negative impact on the company's financial performance. Another weakness is the company's limited geographic presence. Clearwater Paper Corp primarily operates in North America, which exposes them to regional economic fluctuations and limits their access to international markets. Furthermore, the company has faced challenges with cost management and operational efficiency in the past. This has resulted in lower profit margins and hindered their ability to compete on pricing in the market.

Opportunities

Clearwater Paper Corp has several opportunities to capitalize on in the market. One promising opportunity is the increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly paper products. Clearwater Paper Corp can leverage its expertise in producing environmentally friendly solutions to attract environmentally conscious customers and gain a competitive edge. Additionally, there is a growing trend towards digitalization and e-commerce. Clearwater Paper Corp can explore partnerships and collaborations with online retailers to expand its distribution channels and reach a broader customer base. Moreover, the company can invest in research and development to innovate and introduce new products that cater to emerging market needs and preferences. This can help them stay ahead of the competition and capture new market segments.

Threats

Clearwater Paper Corp faces various threats that pose challenges to its growth and profitability. One significant threat is the intense competition in the paper industry. There are numerous established competitors as well as emerging players, creating price pressures and potentially impacting the company's market share. Another threat is the volatility in raw material prices, particularly wood pulp. Fluctuations in these prices can directly impact Clearwater Paper Corp's production costs, and make it more challenging to maintain competitive pricing. Additionally, regulatory changes and environmental regulations can pose challenges to the company's operations and require significant investments to comply with new standards.

Clearwater Paper Eulerpool Fair Value

Details

Fair Value Estimate

What Is Fair Value?

Fair value is an estimate of what a stock is truly "worth" based on its financial fundamentals, independent of the current market price. If the calculated fair value is above the current share price, the stock may be undervalued — and vice versa. This chart shows three different fair value approaches so you can cross-check them against each other.

Earnings-Based Fair Value

Calculated by multiplying the current earnings per share (EPS) by the average historical P/E ratio over a selected multi-year period. The smoothing over several years filters out temporary spikes or dips. If this fair value exceeds the market price, it suggests the stock is cheap relative to its earning power.

Example: Fair Value (Earnings) 2022 = EPS 2022 × Average P/E 2019–2021

Revenue-Based Fair Value

Derived by multiplying revenue per share by the average historical price-to-sales ratio. This method is particularly useful for companies with volatile or temporarily depressed earnings, as revenue tends to be more stable than profits. It answers: "At what price has the market historically valued each dollar of this company's sales?"

Example: Fair Value (Revenue) 2022 = Revenue per Share 2022 × Average P/S 2019–2021

Dividend-Based Fair Value

Calculated by dividing the dividend per share by the average historical dividend yield. This approach is most relevant for mature, consistently dividend-paying companies. If the resulting fair value is higher than the current price, it implies the stock offers a better yield than its historical average.

Example: Fair Value (Dividend) 2022 = Dividend per Share 2022 ÷ Average Yield 2019–2021

How to Use This Chart

When all three fair value lines converge above the current price, it strengthens the case that the stock is undervalued. When they diverge, investigate why — it may indicate a structural shift in margins, payout policy, or growth rate. The forward estimates on the right extend the analysis using projected fundamentals, helping you assess whether the current price already reflects future growth expectations.

Clearwater Paper annual returns

Annual Return

What This Chart Shows

This chart breaks down 's total annual return into two components: price return (gains or losses from stock price movement) and dividend return (income received from dividend payments). Together, they represent the total return an investor would have earned in each calendar year.

Price Return

Price return measures the percentage change in 's stock price from January 1st to December 31st of each year. Positive bars indicate the stock appreciated; negative bars show a decline. This is the component most investors focus on, but it tells only part of the story — especially for dividend-paying stocks.

Dividend Return

Dividend return represents the income generated from dividends paid during the year, expressed as a percentage of the starting stock price. While it may seem small in any single year (typically 1–4 % for established companies), dividends compound significantly over decades and have historically contributed roughly 40 % of total stock market returns.

What to Look For

Examine how many years showed positive vs. negative returns to gauge consistency. A stock with mostly positive years and small drawdowns suggests lower risk. Also compare 's annual returns to a benchmark index — consistently outperforming the market is a hallmark of a strong investment. Pay attention to the worst years: understanding downside risk is just as important as chasing upside potential.
