RYAM also noted interest in selling Paperboard and High-Yield<span class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\"> Pulp assets. In my opinion, there are obvious risks from supply chain problems, debt outstanding, or competitors, however RYAM remains very undervalued.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">Rayonier Advanced Materials<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">Rayonier Advanced Materials focuses on the timber market within the United States, with assets under its ownership located in regions of high concentration of softwood lumber production, both nationally and within New Zealand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">The operations are conducted through different subsidiaries for each region, involving the United States and New Zealand, in which, by adding the properties that the company has, we find approximately 3 million hectares under its ownership. Occasionally and to a lesser extent, the company is<span class=\"paywall-full-content no-summary-bullets invisible\"> also involved in the marketing of logs in the United States and New Zealand, where it is necessary for the company to sustain its operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The operations are divided into three segments: High Purity Cellulose, Paperboard, and High-Yield Pulp that correspond to the type of activity and the territory where they are carried out. The largest business segment, offering cellulose, represented close to 79% of the total amount of sales in the three months ended September 30, 2023.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/saupload_51N3j1UlxuQ6alVLhgixydM3gZkozHLb2_O0lVtzeghqo7Zf-2GsOH3kEmy42j-DRe5PvrxbYy8F6Is_WxBaE3cVpsIPFtZeRRgjw7zqTLcVW6HQMzEcSdRScLDMLlo2MMUUnxQ16uQs29m3nVyIlp4_thumb1.png\" alt=\"Source: 10-Q\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">10-Q<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">A Quick Valuation Of The High-Purity Cellulose Business Segment Implies That Rayonier Advanced Materials Is Undervalued<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Before running a more complete DCF model, I had a look at the valuation of the largest business segment. In the three months ended September 30, 2023, Rayonier Advanced Materials reported $292 million from the sale of high-purity cellulose. In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the company noted sales of $965 million from the same business segment. Other competitors in the cellulose market trade at close to 1x-5x. If we use a minimum valuation of 1x sales and assume annual net sales of $1.286 million, the implied valuation would be $1.28 billion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/saupload_VpRB2Y5Aqe6f5KEHl8xPWGs_y6co4hIGUgpp7Ku9jCDwjW6jVNN741vA0IDgdAz-vwiKOCK0wlDgvJDwDAJgckYKyEIH0st526JX7sdELIH-xh9es27zNO5ntZ33bOWSNbYLYjPyCdSN2mXrkqdZ7Dc_thumb1.png\" alt=\"Source: Ycharts, SA, and CW\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">YCharts, SA, and CW<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Even without taking into account the other business segments, if we subtract net debt of about $841 million, the implied equity valuation would be close to $444-$445 million. The company trades at about $207 million, so I believe that it is trading significantly undervalued.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/saupload_S4-KvE4aQEzOdhGK9YBBtRFfFNhwQ5--Lu_E_mcHGGCyS7eUdYYf5Fo5MD1A2d3848lnnB1YDgp6JYCnGNkHfZ7GBIj14RemB-Q2-iqr2wcvIwZqFXfZzqbZUYF6S7S9AmQLgkD58cRddLSVtE6DEf8.png\" alt=\"Source: SA\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">SA<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Balance Sheet<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">As of September 30, 2023, the company reported cash and cash equivalents worth $27 million, accounts receivable of close to $175 million, and inventory of $242 million. Total current assets are equal to $518 million, and the current ratio is larger than 1x. Hence, I believe that liquidity does not seem to be a problem for Rayonier Advanced Materials.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Property, plant, and equipment stands at close to $1.132 billion, and total assets are equal to $2.175 million. With an asset\/liability ratio of more than 1x and such amount of property and equipment, I believe that the balance sheet stands in a good shape.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/saupload_GwquztJFCsZWBUZYlfuNwkVPsUxxG0l8E28-0x-K4zUw_95XYOXIUJxz53FA0xd7lil6q3oYysRkWDm8pa6NUvuD0KLpK5Wi5ji7CdlV-EUfx87aqn6GKOIsYyOF-03Z9joNCw_PKRQWMla9oWIPHfg.png\" alt=\"Source: 10-Q\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">10-Q<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The list of liabilities does not seem worrying. With accounts payable close to $171 million and accrued and other current liabilities of about $133 million, long-term debt was equal to $730 million. The total amount of debt appears to be significantly lower than the total amount of properties, so I believe that Rayonier Advanced Materials could receive more debt in the future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/saupload_NvKoHu7vVCnRd4Q6tKMuRobET0fRKi-52D-iMgzvMb0xbicQvS1mo9DTpKCrfRZUiMNu-vlzVKGoPv8JDjlBJzzf1BtgJXIPrxauOvFDtt4nTH2fOwEKlBXzaVmE3md8tnbMQ6l8S5XEkNrWWgI-KsE.png\" alt=\"Source: 10-Q\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">10-Q<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">With that about the balance sheet, I think that having a close look at the debt agreements would make sense. The company reported senior notes and loans reporting debt of close to 7.625%-5.5%. With these figures in mind, I believe that the cost of capital would most likely stand at more than 7.625%-8.1%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/saupload_3XVZTZl5gv7auhRBvzNXFEpBC3ZsS1uRyH3f5DcdIizPgeNw5p1O-APk_7pEsAIo0QFXA90AhAJeH7fWlF37lROFVaSn7OKnLSxnh2pqPFgQWkIRQCM8ksEp3GExVPTZVrJN4P-Hc1vGzQxGb7Fiv0Y_thumb1.png\" alt=\"Source: 10-k\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">10-K<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Recent Credit Agreements Reached In 2023 Will Most Likely Accelerate Investments From Other Debt Investors Or Equity Investors<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In the last quarterly report, management noted new loan financing totaling $250 million and recent repurchases of notes. In my view, this information is quite beneficial for Rayonier Advanced Materials. It means that the company successfully refinanced its debt obligations. Debt investors successfully revised the business model and were interested in offering new financing conditions. Besides, the company also used some money to give back cash to certain note holders. Under my financial model, I assumed that further debt agreements will most likely bring demand for the equity and debt of Rayonier Advanced Materials.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<p>In July 2023, we secured term loan financing of $250 million in aggregate principal amount, the proceeds of which were used, together with cash on hand, to redeem the $318 million principal balance of the 2024 Notes in August 2023.

Competitors in the Paperboard industry trade at close to 0.8x net sales. So, I believe that the Paperboard business segment could be worth $193 million. I also assumed 0.8x net sales growth in the High-Yield Pulp market as many companies in the Paperboard business also offer High-Yield Pulp. Hence, the High-Yield Pulp business segment could be worth $107 million. In total, I believe that Rayonier Advanced Materials could obtain close to $300 million for the sale of these two business segments. In that case scenario, I believe that stock price would most likely trend higher.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/saupload_2NkHDfYt0WyPT1xyg6rssduUKvGFJKhWwGX5S1KxHLsYfmV2zwB-rIi3cbXpKt9o5lXVU0MYQKVz_Bcs5D8tLB4Ff9g0agTmqBXYDgaJMb801GncZqD8MlvCAeXgqW4Niet8L-i5t-_oLXBjmOAnLCk.png\" alt=\"Source: Ycharts\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">YCharts<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The New 2G Bioethanol Facility That Will Start Operating From 2024 Will Most Likely Bring Capacity Increases And Revenue Growth Potential<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In my opinion, the new operations of the new 2G bioethanol facility that will commence in the first quarter of 2024 could bring capacity increases and revenue growth.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<p>The 2G bioethanol facility at our Tartas, France plant is near completion and is anticipated to be operational in the first quarter of 2024.

With this, the introduction of more complex forestry systems, the optimization of wood production to generate liquidity margins, and expanding the areas and hectares of its projects and crops through inorganic growth and acquisitions are part of the strategy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The company discussed some of its partnerships with large companies like 3M (MMM) to promote sustainability as well as to rely less on fossil fuels. Given the rise in sustainable investments expected for the upcoming years, I believe that Rayonier Advanced Materials could receive further attention from investors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/saupload_PNtCi4Avp700tRiAs0dDWhz91J9U31zDh8ybFsOfchqcqVG-sEAhZ6Eoub4y2egfkMMQrtMThEBvXswxpzS3RriL2Ppt6NrNs1i0G6NYnBclpLNqm3qvcBSs9GGngcfGwaoNtIOxXax6BUaTwK63OJc_thumb1.png\" alt=\"Source: Company's Website\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Company&#8217;s Website<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Conservative Future Free Cash Flow Projections Imply Significant Undervaluation<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In my cash flow projections, I obtained 2032 net income of close to $45 million, 2032 depreciation and amortization of $112 million, stock-based incentive compensation expense worth $17 million, net periodic benefit cost of pension and postretirement plans of -$23 million, and changes in receivables of about -$231 million.

I also see that the recent efforts to reduce carbon emissions and partnerships with large corporations like 3M are quite beneficial.
