TICKER SYMBOL DTC (TSX,NYSE) MONTREAL, Feb. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Domtar Inc. announced today earnings from continuing operations of $91 million ($0.39 per common share) in the fourth quarter of 2006 compared to a loss from continuing operations of $271 million ($1.18 per common share) in the fourth quarter of 2005 and earnings from continuing operations of $22 million ($0.09 per common share) in the third quarter of 2006. For the full year of 2006, Domtar recorded a net profit of $328 million ($1.42 per common share) compared to a net loss of $388 million ($1.69 per common share) in 2005. SUMMARY OF RESULTS Q4 2006 Q4 2005 Q3 2006 2006 2005 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- (In millions of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted) Sales 939 990 1,013 3,989 4,247 Operating profit (loss) from continuing operations(1) 178 (366) 66 237 (349) Earnings (loss) from continuing operations 91 (271) 22 63 (310) Net earnings (loss) 323 (348) 38 328 (388) Earnings (loss) from continuing operations per common share (in dollars) 0.39 (1.18) 0.09 0.27 (1.36) Net earnings (loss) per common share (in dollars) 1.40 (1.51) 0.16 1.42 (1.69) Excluding specified items(1) Operating profit (loss) from continuing operations 39 (42) 78 139 23 Earnings (loss) from continuing operations (2) (46) 30 (7) (51) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Operating profit (loss) from continuing operations is a non-GAAP measure. For a discussion on specified items and the use of non-GAAP measures, see "Notes to the summary of results" in the appendix. Commenting on the 2006 results, Raymond Royer stated: "The past year has been one of decisive actions for Domtar. With the support of our employees, we successfully executed the restructuring plan announced in November 2005. The plan resulted in the permanent closure of six paper machines at three mills, two sawmilling operations, as well as the implementation of cost reduction initiatives across all of the organization. More recently, Domtar sold its 50% investment in Norampac. Finally, throughout the year we continued to adjust our production to changing market conditions. All of these measures, coupled with the duties refund and higher overall selling prices, contributed to Domtar's strengthened financial position." "Our transaction to combine Domtar with Weyerhaeuser's fine paper business and related assets is progressing well and is on schedule with an expected closing in March. The transaction will be submitted to our shareholders at a special meeting to be held on February 26th. This combination of assets is a transformational event for Domtar that will create the largest fine paper producer in North America, and we believe that our customers and shareholders will benefit from this leadership position in our core uncoated freesheet business", added Mr. Royer. OPERATIONAL REVIEW 2006 COMPARED TO 2005 --------- During the fourth quarter of 2006, we sold our packaging segment, which consisted of a 50% interest in Norampac. In accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), effective in the fourth quarter of 2006, the information pertaining to Norampac is disclosed as a discontinued operation. Effective in the second quarter of 2006, the information pertaining to our Vancouver paper mill was no longer included in our Papers business but presented as a discontinued operation and assets held for sale, as required by Canadian GAAP. Accordingly, amounts for 2006 and prior periods have been restated to reflect this presentation. Earnings from discontinued operations amounted to $265 million in 2006 and consisted of $37 million of net earnings from Norampac, a $237 million net gain on the sale of our interest in Norampac and a net loss of $9 million from our Vancouver paper mill. Loss from discontinued operations amounted to $78 million in 2005 which consisted of $3 million of net earnings from Norampac and a $81 million loss from our Vancouver paper mill. VARIANCE ANALYSIS 2006 VS. 2005 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- (In millions of Canadian dollars) 2005 operating profit from continuing operations, excluding specified items 23 Selling prices 142 Foreign exchange (net of hedging programs) (70) Shipments and mix 1 Other costs, including savings from mill closures 43 ----------- 2006 operating profit from continuing operations, excluding specified items 139 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- PAPERS 2006 2005 Variance ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- (In millions of Canadian dollars) Operating profit (loss) from continuing operations 121 (329) 450 Operating profit (loss) from continuing operations, excluding specified items 140 (51) 191 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The $191 million increase in operating profit from continuing operations excluding specified items in the Papers segment was mainly the result of higher average selling prices for pulp and paper, the realization of savings stemming from restructuring activities, the settlement of a contract dispute resulting in a payment to Domtar of $14 million, higher shipments of pulp and paper (excluding the impact of mills that were indefinitely and permanently closed) as well as recognition of investment tax credits related to research and development expenditures from prior years. These factors were partially offset by the negative impact of a stronger Canadian dollar, and higher overall costs. PAPER MERCHANTS 2006 2005 Variance ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- (In millions of Canadian dollars) Operating profit from continuing operations 13 3 10 Operating profit from continuing operations, excluding specified items 13 16 (3) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The $3 million decrease in operating profit from continuing operations excluding specified items in the Paper Merchants segment was primarily due to a one time bad debt expense and the negative impact of a stronger Canadian dollar, partially offset by higher shipments. WOOD 2006 2005 Variance ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- (In millions of Canadian dollars) Operating profit (loss) from continuing operations 117 (33) 150 Operating profit (loss) from continuing operations, excluding specified items (28) 51 (79) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The $79 million decrease in operating profit (loss) from continuing operations excluding specified items in the Wood segment was mainly attributable to lower shipments, lower average selling prices and the negative impact of a stronger Canadian dollar. These factors were partially mitigated by the realization of savings stemming from restructuring activities, lower freight and energy costs and the $7 million refund received in the second quarter of 2006 as a result of the Ontario government's one-time retroactive reduction in Crown stumpage fees related to 2005 and 2006. Effective October 11, 2006, three of our sawmills (two in Abitibi, Quebec, and one in Ontario) were closed indefinitely due to the pressures of higher timber costs and lower demand for both lumber and wood chips. Effective October 12, 2006, Domtar was entitled to receive a refund for duties collected by the U.S. Government since 2002 plus interest. Domtar received the refund, amounting to $178 million plus interest of $22 million, during the fourth quarter of 2006. This refund is subject to a special charge of approximately 18% by the Canadian Government. As of December 31, 2006, Domtar recorded a provision relating to this special charge. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL 2006 COMPARED TO 2005 --------- FREE CASH FLOW(1) 2006 2005 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- (In millions of Canadian dollars) Cash flows provided from operating activities of continuing operations before changes in working capital and other items 389 141 Changes in working capital and other items (167) (182) ------------------ Cash flows provided from (used for) operating activities of continuing operations 222 (41) Net additions to property, plant and equipment (91) (129) ------------------ Free cash flow 131 (170) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Change in working capital for 2006 includes an increase in receivables due to a reduction of off balance sheet securitization in the amount of $136 million (US$120 million). Free cash flow increased by $301 million in 2006 compared to 2005. This improvement mainly reflects an increase in profitability offset by working capital requirements. Domtar's net debt-to-total capitalization ratio(1) as at December 31, 2006 stood at 40.2% compared to 57.7% as at December 31, 2005. Domtar's total long-term debt decreased by $368 million, largely due to the positive impact of a stronger Canadian dollar (based on month-end foreign exchange rates) on its US dollar denominated debt and debt repayments made on its revolving credit facility resulting from the sale of Domtar's 50% interest in Norampac. (1) For a discussion on the use of non-GAAP measures, see "Notes to the summary of results" in the appendix. OUTLOOK --------- Although Domtar benefited from higher operating rates and increasing selling prices for papers and pulp, the North American demand for uncoated freesheet dropped in 2006 when compared to 2005. Looking into 2007, Domtar does not anticipate any significant changes to these demand trends for fine papers in North America, and the Company will continue to adjust its production to meet customer demand.

NOTE 2. --------------- USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES Except where otherwise indicated, all financial information reflected herein is determined on the basis of Canadian GAAP. Operating profit (loss) from continuing operations is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated within Domtar's financial statements. Domtar focuses on operating profit (loss) from continuing operations as this measure enables it to compare its results between periods without regard to debt service or income taxes. Operating profit (loss) from continuing operations excluding specified items and earnings (loss) from continuing operations excluding specified items are non-GAAP measures. Measures excluding specified items are used in evaluating the Company's performance between periods without regard to specified items that adversely or positively affected its GAAP measures. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure that is defined as the amount by which cash flows provided from continuing operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, exceed net additions to property, plant and equipment, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Free cash flow is used in evaluating the Company's ability to service its debt and pay dividends to its shareholders. Net debt-to-total capitalization ratio is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated as long-term debt and bank indebtedness, net of cash and cash equivalents, to the sum of net debt and shareholders' equity. Domtar's management tracks this ratio on a regular basis in order to assess its debt position. The above non-GAAP measures have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, and therefore should not be considered in isolation. Domtar believes that it would be useful for investors and other users to be aware of these measures so they can better assess the Company's performance.
