Using an unlevered Free Cash Flow to Firm (FCFF) model, we project Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc.'s cash flows over 5 years with line-by-line expense modeling. Revenue is projected revenue growing from -2.4% to 1.0% annually, with expenses (COGS, SG&A, R&D) held at historical ratios. Depreciation is computed from a vintage matrix based on a 5-year useful life. Working capital is modeled using historical turnover days (DSO 49, DPO 46, DIO 58). At a 10.7% WACC with mid-year discounting, the terminal value (89% of enterprise value) is derived by applying the industry peer median EV/EBITDA multiple of 9.2x to Year 6 EBITDA. After subtracting net debt, the equity value implies a fair price of $3.10 per share, suggesting RYAM is overvalued by 66.1% at the current price of $9.15.
