“We delivered strong commercial execution during the quarter, with average selling prices increasing versus the second quarter. We successfully implemented our first announced price increase and continue to make meaningful progress on implementing the second increase. Our volumes and costs were negatively affected by a significant operational disruption at our Augusta mill late in the third quarter, with the impact being largely offset by a portion of RWI settlements. Operational Issues have continued into October, but we are making progress getting the mill back to normal operating conditions.”
