Canfor Pulp Announces Asset Write-Down and Impairment Charge

Canfor Pulp faces heightened risk of breaching financial covenants due to $106 million impairment from weak global pulp prices and fibre supply challenges, management said.

  • On Feb. 17, 2026, Canfor Pulp Products Inc. announced it will record a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $106 million in its fourth quarter of 2025 results.
  • With fibre shortages and price pressure, the impairment reflects sustained declines in global US-dollar pulp list prices and challenges securing viable fibre, while management forecasts weak markets and likely covenant breaches at March 31, 2026.
  • Canfor Pulp operates two mills in Prince George, with a non-cash impairment that does not affect liquidity, according to the company.
  • Under an amended loan agreement, management's talks with lenders are currently on hold, with a net debt to total capitalization ratio of 116% and EBITDA interest coverage of times, according to the company.
  • Canfor Corporation is advancing a Proposed Transaction, with a special meeting scheduled for early March 2026 to seek approval, which the company says it does not expect to affect completion.
