49% of all revenue comes from a single line: Corrugated Packaging.

The biggest line carries real weight, but it doesn’t decide everything on its own.

Revenue last year:
$20B
The loss that same year:
$1.6B
For every $1 it earns, the company spends $1.1.

The company closed last year at a loss: costs ran above sales. The picture changes only if spending is reined in.

THE SALES TREND
Sales are moving sideways.

No real growth (3% a year). Red columns mark years that ended in a loss.

In the vault right now:
$393.4M
DEBT: $9.8B
At this pace, that money lasts less than a year.

Before the clock runs out, either sales must climb sharply or new money must come in. This is the most critical line in the whole picture.
