Mercer International (ISIN US5880561015) was trading at EUR 0.22 at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026 at 11:41 a.m. CEST, while its October 2 filing disclosed a USD 25.8 million missed interest payment. As StockTitan reported from the filing, Mercer elected to use a 30-day grace period while negotiating with bondholders.

Debt talks enter a critical window

The October 2, 2026 Form 8-K said an ad hoc group holding more than 75 percent of the outstanding principal of Mercer notes was involved in advanced discussions over a recapitalization and capital infusion. The talks cover 12.875 percent senior notes due in 2028 and 5.125 percent senior notes due in 2029, with the proposed transaction intended to reduce funded debt and interest expense.

Wood Central reported on October 8, 2026 that Mercer said its pulp, lumber and mass timber operations continued in the ordinary course. The company also said it was serving customers and paying suppliers, contractors and employees while discussions continued.

Quarterly loss shows the pressure

Mercer reported USD 460.3 million of revenue and a USD 76.0 million net loss for the second quarter of 2026, according to Packaging News Daily. Revenue increased 1.5 percent year over year, but the loss leaves the debt negotiations as the central financial issue for the company.

The same August 6, 2026 reporting context put liquidity at USD 191.7 million, including USD 78.8 million of cash. For investors, the contrast is stark: quarterly revenue remained above USD 460 million, yet Mercer still faced a USD 25.8 million payment and upcoming refinancing pressure.
