NOTE 1 Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

GENERAL

Clearwater Paper Corporation is a leading North American producer of private label tissue and paperboard products. We manufacture quality consumer tissue, away-from-home tissue, parent rolls (non-converted tissue product), machine-glazed tissue, bleached paperboard and pulp at 15 manufacturing locations in the U.S. and Canada. Our private label consumer tissue products - facial and bath tissue, paper towels and napkins - are used primarily at-home and are principally sold to major retailers and wholesale distributors, which include grocery, drug, mass-merchant and discount stores. Our paperboard is sold primarily in the high-end segment of the packaging industry, which demands high-quality construction and print surfaces for graphics. Our products are made primarily from wood fiber pulp.

On March 6, 2013, we announced the planned permanent closure of our Thomaston, Georgia converting and distribution facility. The shutdown is occurring gradually as converting lines are being relocated and installed at our other facilities, with all operations at Thomaston expected to cease by the end of 2013. As of September 30, 2013,we have incurred $2.9 million of costs associated with the closure, of which $1.7 million was incurred during the third quarter of 2013.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION

The accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the related Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. We believe that all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented have been included. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on February 22, 2013.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant areas requiring the use of estimates and measurement of uncertainty include determination of net realizable value for deferred tax assets, uncertain tax positions, assessment of impairment of long-lived assets, goodwill and intangibles, assessment of environmental matters, equity-based compensation and pension and postretirement obligation assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH

Our short-term investments are invested primarily in demand deposits, which have very short maturity periods, and therefore earn an interest rate commensurate with low-risk instruments. We do not attempt to hedge our exposure to interest rate risk for our short-term investments. Our restricted cash in which the underlying instrument has a term of greater than twelve months from the balance sheet date is classified as non-current and is included in “Other assets, net” on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of September 30, 2013, substantially all restricted cash balances were classified as current and included in "Restricted cash" on our Consolidated Balance Sheet, compared to approximately $1.5 million of restricted cash classified as non-current and included in "Other assets, net" as of December 31, 2012.

TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount we expect to collect. Trade accounts receivable do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is our best estimate of the losses we expect will result from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We generally determine the allowance based on a combination of actual historical write-off experience and an analysis of specific customer accounts. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had allowances for doubtful accounts of $1.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, including any interest costs capitalized, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of buildings, equipment and other depreciable assets is determined using the straight-line method. Assets we acquire through business combinations have estimated lives that are typically shorter than the assets we construct or buy new. Accumulated depreciation totaled $1,461.6 million and $1,401.4 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

We did not capitalize interest for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we capitalized $4.1 million and $9.0 million, respectively, of interest expense associated with our through-air-dried, or TAD, tissue expansion project, which includes the construction of our new tissue manufacturing and converting facilities in Shelby, North Carolina, and upgrades to our tissue manufacturing facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

On January 17, 2013, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a new stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of our common stock. The repurchases were authorized to be carried out by the utilization of a number of different methods, including but not limited to, open market purchases, accelerated buybacks and negotiated block purchases, and were completed in 2013.

On March 1, 2013, we entered into an accelerated stock buyback, or ASB, agreement with a major financial institution to repurchase an aggregate of $50.0 million of our outstanding common stock. The total aggregate number of shares repurchased pursuant to this agreement was determined by reference to our average stock prices, less a fixed discount, over the term of the agreement. During the first quarter of 2013, we received 826,617 shares of common stock, which was 80% of the total shares expected to be repurchased under the ASB agreement, and represented a total of approximately $40.8 million of the $50.0 million paid to the financial institution. During the third quarter of 2013, the ASB agreement was completed and we received an additional 212,896 shares of our outstanding common stock, which represented the remaining proceeds paid to the financial institution. In total, 1,039,513 shares of our outstanding common stock were delivered under the ASB agreement at an average repurchase price of $48.10 per share.

We have also repurchased 535,897 shares of our outstanding common stock on the open market as of September 30, 2013, of which 327,315 shares were repurchased during the third quarter at an average price of $48.27 per share. As of September 30, 2013, $24.2 million of the authorized repurchase program remained. In October 2013, we repurchased an additional 494,760 shares of our outstanding common stock on the open market at an average price of $48.95 per share, which completed the remaining balance of our authorized stock repurchase program. We account for share repurchases under the program as treasury stock and record the amounts paid to repurchase shares at cost as a component of stockholders' equity. We have not retired any treasury shares and may choose to reissue shares held in treasury stock in a future period.

DERIVATIVES

We had no activity during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 that required hedge or derivative accounting treatment. To help mitigate our exposure to market risk for changes in utility commodity pricing, from time to time we have used firm price contracts to supply a portion of the natural gas requirements for our manufacturing facilities. As of September 30, 2013, these contracts covered approximately 33% of our expected average monthly natural gas requirements for the remainder of 2013, plus lesser amounts for 2014. Historically, these contracts have qualified for treatment as “normal purchases or normal sales” under authoritative guidance and thus required no mark-to-market adjustment.

NOTE 2 Recently Adopted and New Accounting Standards

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update, or ASU, 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which expands the disclosure requirements for amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. This ASU requires an entity to present, either parenthetically on the face of the financial statements where net income is presented or in the notes to the financial statements, the effect of significant items reclassified in their entirety from accumulated other comprehensive income and identification of the respective line items effecting net income for instances when reclassification is required under GAAP. For items that are not required by GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures as required by GAAP. This ASU does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements and is effective prospectively for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. We have adopted this ASU, which did not affect our Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 3 Inventories

Inventories at the balance sheet dates consist of:



(In thousands)	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Pulp, paperboard and tissue products	$	167,154	$	147,627
Materials and supplies	68,769		67,889
Logs, pulpwood, chips and sawdust	17,517		15,950
	$	253,440	$	231,466

Inventories are stated at the lower of market or cost using the average cost method. The last-in, first-out, or LIFO, method was previously used to determine cost of logs, wood fiber and the majority of lumber until the sale of our Lewiston, Idaho sawmill in November 2011. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the remaining lumber inventory from the sawmill was sold. The sale of this inventory, which was valued at costs prevailing in prior years under the LIFO method, had the effect of increasing earnings in the period ended March 31, 2012 by an immaterial amount.

NOTE 4 Intangible Assets

Intangible assets at the balance sheet dates are comprised of the following:



	September 30, 2013
(Dollars in thousands, lives in years)	Useful Life	Historical Cost		Accumulated Amortization			Net Balance

Non-compete agreements	2.5 - 5.0	1,674		(881		)	793
		$	60,931	$	(13,178	)	$	47,753

NOTE 5 Income Taxes

Consistent with authoritative guidance, our estimated annual effective tax rate is used to allocate our expected annual income tax provision to interim periods. The rate is the ratio of our estimated annual income tax provision to our estimated pre-tax ordinary income, and excludes "discrete items," which are significant, unusual or infrequent items reported separately net of their related tax effect. The estimated annual effective tax rate is applied to the current interim period’s ordinary income to determine the income tax provision allocated to the interim period. The income tax effects of discrete items are then determined separately and recognized in the interim period in which the income or expense items arise.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the effective tax rates attributable to continuing operations were as follows:



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Statutory federal income tax rate	35.0	%	35.0	%	35.0	%	35.0	%
State taxes, net of credits	1.5		3.6		1.5		3.6
Change in valuation allowances	3.5		—		3.5		—
Federal manufacturing deduction	—		(3.0	)	—		(3.0	)
Settlement of uncertain tax positions	(57.3	)	—		(41.6	)	—
Interest accrued on uncertain tax positions	8.4		1.2		13.9		1.7
Cellulosic Biofuel Producer Credit conversion	0.2		—		(36.8	)	3.7
Additional Cellulosic Biofuel Producer Credits	(43.0	)	3.2		(81.5	)	4.1
State rate adjustment	(10.5	)	—		(8.1	)	—
Return to provision adjustments	(0.5	)	0.5		(3.9	)	1.7
Other	(1.0	)	(0.3	)	2.8		(0.1	)
Effective tax rate	(63.7	)%	40.2	%	(115.2	)%	46.7	%

Our estimated annual effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2013 is approximately 39%, compared with approximately 35% for the comparable interim period in 2012. The increase is due to a reduction of the domestic production activities deduction resulting from our election to adopt tax bonus depreciation in 2013 and an increase in the relative weighting of the other permanent items in relation to forecasted book income.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, the IRS commenced an audit of our tax returns for the tax years ending December 31, 2008 through December 31, 2012. The audit is ongoing, with no defined conclusion date as of September 30, 2013. As part of this process, we identified additional gallons that qualify for the Cellulosic Biofuel Producer Credit that were previously unaccounted for. During the third quarter of 2013, we recognized the benefit related to these gallons, resulting in a favorable adjustment. Also during the quarter, we closed a number of state income tax audits. Based upon the results of those audits, we have released a portion of the reserve for uncertain tax positions relating to certain state tax credits, which resulted in a benefit to income taxes.

NOTE 6 Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities at the balance sheet dates consist of:

NOTE 7 Debt

$375 MILLION SENIOR NOTES DUE 2018

On October 22, 2010, we sold $375 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes, which we refer to as the 2010 Notes. The 2010 Notes mature on November 1, 2018, have an interest rate of 7.125% and were issued at their face value. The issuance of these notes generated net proceeds of $367.5 million after deducting offering expenses.

The 2010 Notes are guaranteed by all of our direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries. The 2010 Notes will also be guaranteed by each of our future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries that we do not designate as an unrestricted subsidiary under the indenture governing the 2010 Notes. The 2010 Notes are equal in right of payment with all other existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness and are senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness. The 2010 Notes are effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness, including borrowings under our secured revolving credit facility, which is secured by certain of our accounts receivable, inventory and cash. The terms of the 2010 Notes limit our ability and the ability of any restricted subsidiaries to borrow money; pay dividends; redeem or repurchase capital stock; make investments; sell assets; create restrictions on the payment of dividends or other amounts to us from any restricted subsidiaries; enter into transactions with affiliates; enter into sale and lease back transactions; create liens; and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets.

Prior to November 1, 2013, we may redeem up to 35% of the 2010 Notes at a redemption price equal to 107.125% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest with the proceeds from one or more qualified equity offerings. We have the option to redeem all or a portion of the 2010 Notes at any time before November 1, 2014 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and a “make whole” premium. On or after November 1, 2014, we may redeem all or a portion of the 2010 Notes at specified redemption prices plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, we may be required to make an offer to purchase the 2010 Notes upon the sale of certain assets and upon a change of control.

REDEMPTION OF $150 MILLION SENIOR NOTES DUE 2016 AND ISSUANCE OF $275 MILLION SENIOR NOTES DUE 2023

In June 2009, we issued senior unsecured notes, which we refer to as the 2009 Notes, in the aggregate principal amount of $150 million. The 2009 Notes were due on June 15, 2016 and had an interest rate of 10.625%. The 2009 Notes were issued at a price equal to 98.792% of their face value.

We had the option to redeem all or a portion of the 2009 Notes at any time prior to June 15, 2013 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a “make whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest. On February 22, 2013, we exercised our option to redeem all of the 2009 Notes at a redemption price equal to approximately $166 million, which consisted of 100% of the principal amount, plus a $12.6 million “make whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $3.0 million. The make whole premium and a portion of the unpaid interest, as well as an unamortized discount and deferred issuance costs associated with the 2009 Notes, were recorded as components of the debt retirement costs totaling $17.1 million in the first quarter of 2013, as included in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. Proceeds to fund the redemption of the 2009 Notes were made available through the sale of $275 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes on January 23, 2013, which we refer to as the 2013 Notes. The 2013 Notes mature on February 1, 2023, have an interest rate of 4.5% and were issued at their face value. The issuance of these notes generated net proceeds of approximately $271 million after deducting offering expenses.

The 2013 Notes are guaranteed by all of our direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries. The 2013 Notes will also be guaranteed by each of our future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries that we do not designate as an unrestricted subsidiary under the indenture governing the 2013 Notes. The 2013 Notes are equal in right of payment with all other existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness and are senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness. The 2013 Notes are effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness, including borrowings under our secured revolving credit facility, which is secured by certain of our accounts receivable, inventory and cash. The terms of the 2013 Notes limit our ability and the ability of any restricted subsidiaries to borrow money; pay dividends; redeem or repurchase capital stock; make investments; sell assets; create restrictions on the payment of dividends or other amounts to us from any restricted subsidiaries; enter into transactions with affiliates; enter into sale and lease back transactions; create liens; and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets.

Prior to February 1, 2016, we may redeem up to 35% of the 2013 Notes at a redemption price equal to 104.5% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest with the proceeds from one or more qualified equity offerings. We have the option to redeem all or a portion of the 2013 Notes at any time before February 1, 2018 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and a “make whole” premium. On or after February 1, 2018, we may redeem all or a portion of the 2013 Notes at specified redemption prices plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, we may be required to make an offer to purchase the 2013 Notes upon the sale of certain assets and upon a change of control.

REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

On November 26, 2008, we entered into a $125 million senior secured revolving credit facility with certain financial institutions. The amount available to us under the revolving credit facility is based on the lesser of 85% of our eligible accounts receivable plus approximately 65% of our eligible inventory, or $125 million. The revolving credit facility has been subsequently amended and expires on September 30, 2016.

As of September 30, 2013, there were no borrowings outstanding under the credit facility, but approximately $6.6 million of the credit facility was being used to support outstanding standby letters of credit. Loans under the credit facility bear interest (i) for LIBOR loans, LIBOR plus between 1.75% and 2.25% and (ii) for base rate loans, a per annum rate equal to the greater of (a) the prime rate for such day; (b) the federal funds effective rate for such day, plus 0.50%; or (c) LIBOR for a 30-day interest period as determined on such day, plus between 1.25% and 1.75%. The percentage margin on all loans is based on our fixed charge coverage ratio for the most recent four quarters. As of September 30, 2013, we would have been permitted to draw approximately $118.4 million under the credit facility at LIBOR plus 1.75%, or base rate plus 1.25%.

A minimum fixed charge coverage ratio is the only financial covenant requirement under our credit facility and is triggered when there are any commitments or obligations outstanding and availability falls below 12.5% or an event of default exists, at which time the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio must be at least 1.0-to-1.0. As of September 30, 2013, the fixed charge coverage ratio for the most recent four quarters was 2.6-to-1.0.

Our obligations under the revolving credit facility are secured by certain of our accounts receivable, inventory and cash. The terms of the credit facility contain various provisions that limit our discretion in the operations of our business by restricting our ability to, among other things, pay dividends; redeem or repurchase capital stock; create, incur or guarantee certain debt; incur liens on certain properties; make capital expenditures; enter into certain affiliate transactions; enter into certain hedging arrangements; and consolidate with or merge with another entity. The revolving credit facility contains usual and customary affirmative and negative covenants and usual and customary events of default.

As discussed in the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2012 Form 10-K, our company-sponsored defined benefit pension plans were underfunded by $78.7 million at December 31, 2012. As a result of being underfunded, we are required to make contributions to our qualified pension plans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we contributed $12.6 million to these pension plans. In October 2013, we contributed an additional $2.4 million and we expect to contribute an additional $1.9 million in the remainder of 2013.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we made contributions of approximately $0.2 million to our company-sponsored non-qualified pension plan, and we estimate contributions will total approximately $0.3 million in 2013. We do not anticipate funding our OPEB plans in 2013 except to pay benefit costs as incurred during the year by plan participants.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, $3.4 million and $10.9 million, respectively, of net periodic pension and OPEB costs were charged to cost of sales, and $0.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively, were charged to selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations

During the second quarter of 2013, we recorded a curtailment loss of $0.8 million in net periodic cost, and a corresponding change in other comprehensive income, net of tax, due to the freezing of pension benefits for certain employees at our Lewiston, Idaho pulp and paperboard facility, effective June 30, 2013.

NOTE 11 Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus all potentially dilutive securities that were assumed to be converted into common shares at the beginning of the period under the treasury stock method.

The following table reconciles the number of common shares used in calculating the basic and diluted net earnings per share:



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Basic average common shares outstanding¹	22,026,879		23,360,967		22,388,930		23,337,323
Incremental shares due to:
Restricted stock units	69,902		51,230		61,956		43,580
Performance shares	131,092		287,491		114,369		264,021
Diluted average common shares outstanding	22,227,873		23,699,688		22,565,255		23,644,924

Basic net earnings per common share	$	0.60	$	0.82	$	1.08	$	1.90
Diluted net earnings per common share	0.60		0.80		1.07		1.87

Anti-dilutive shares excluded from calculation	1,434		29,382		106,265		132,273


¹	Basic average common shares outstanding include restricted stock awards that are fully vested, but are deferred for future issuance.

NOTE 12 Equity-Based Compensation

We recognize equity-based compensation expense for all equity-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including restricted stock units and performance shares, based on estimated fair values.

EMPLOYEE AWARDS

Employee equity-based compensation expense was recognized as follows:



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In thousands)	2013		2012		2013		2012
Restricted stock units	$	462	$	297	$	1,326	$	693
Performance shares	1,354		1,953		3,741		5,284
Total employee equity-based compensation	$	1,816	$	2,250	$	5,067	$	5,977

As provided for in the Clearwater Paper Corporation 2008 Stock Incentive Plan, the performance measure used to determine the number of performance shares ultimately issued is a comparison of the percentile ranking of our total stockholder return compared to the total stockholder return of a selected peer group. The number of shares actually issued, as a percentage of the amount subject to the performance share award, could range from 0%-200%. On December 31, 2012, the service and performance period for 138,226 outstanding performance shares granted in 2010 ended. Those performance shares were settled and distributed in the first quarter of 2013. The number of shares actually settled, as a percentage of the outstanding amount, was 101.4%. After adjusting for the related minimum tax withholdings, a net 93,744 shares were issued in the first quarter of 2013. The related minimum tax withholdings payment made in the first quarter of 2013 in connection with issued shares was $2.2 million.

During the third quarter of 2013, we distributed a portion of restricted stock units related to certain executive compensation that was deferred in 2012 to preserve tax deductibility for certain compensation that was above the Internal Revenue Code section 162(m) threshold. After adjusting for minimum tax withholdings of the deferred shares, a net 48,971 shares were distributed during the third quarter of 2013. The minimum tax withholdings payment made in 2013 in connection with the issued shares was $2.0 million.

The following table summarizes the number of share-based awards granted under our 2008 Stock Incentive Plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and the grant-date fair value of the awards:



	Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2013
	Number of Awards	Average Fair Value of Award Per Share
Restricted stock units	72,702	$	43.44
Performance shares	124,513	63.46

DIRECTOR AWARDS

Each year, our Board of Directors receives deferred equity-based awards that are measured in units of our common stock and ultimately settled in cash at the time of payment. Accordingly, the compensation expense associated with these awards is subject to fluctuations each quarter based on mark-to-market adjustments at each reporting period in line with changes in the market price of our common stock. As a result of the mark-to-market adjustment, we recorded director equity-based compensation expense of $0.4 million and $2.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, compared to equity-based compensation expense of $1.8 million and $1.7 million, for the same periods in 2012. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the liability amounts associated with director equity-based compensation included in "Other long-term obligations" on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets were $11.8 million and $9.1 million, respectively.

NOTE 13 Fair Value Measurements

The estimated fair values of our financial instruments at the dates presented below are as follows:



	September 30,				December 31,
	2013				2012
	Carrying		Fair		Carrying		Fair
(In thousands)	Amount		Value		Amount		Value
Cash, restricted cash and short-term investments (Level 1)	$	111,460	$	111,460	$	34,079	$	34,079
Long-term debt (Level 1)	650,000		651,550		523,933		572,625

Accounting guidance establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of financial instruments, providing a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, or “Level 1” measurements, followed by quoted prices of similar assets or observable market data, or “Level 2” measurements, and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs, or “Level 3” measurements.

The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used should seek to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
