Intl Paper (IP) Q2 Revenue Up 45%

International Paper (NYSE:IP), a global leader in paper and packaging, released results for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 on July 31, 2025. The headline news was the first full-quarter impact of its major acquisition of DS Smith, which drove GAAP revenue sharply higher to $6.8 billion, beating analyst forecasts for revenue (GAAP).

Net earnings (GAAP) declined to $75 million from $498 million in Q2 2024, while Free cash flow (non-GAAP) came in below prior period levels, and special items weighed on the bottom line.
