Press Release: Greif Reports Fiscal Second Quarter 2026 Results

Dow Jones04-29

DELAWARE, Ohio, April 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Greif, Inc. (NYSE: GEF, GEF.B), a global leader in industrial packaging products and services, today announced fiscal second quarter 2026 results.

On June 30, 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to divest our containerboard business, including our CorrChoice sheet feeder system (the "Containerboard Business"), in an all-cash transaction for $1.8 billion to Packaging Corporation of America. The transaction closed as of August 31, 2025. As a result, the Containerboard Business was presented as discontinued operations beginning in the third quarter of 2025. Unless otherwise noted, the discussions and disclosure tables throughout this press release relate only to our continuing operations.

Effective October 1, 2025, our Integrated Solutions reportable segment was renamed Innovative Closure Solutions. Additionally, activities related to the purchase and sale of recycled fiber and the production and sale of adhesives used in paperboard products, which were previously reported within the Integrated Solutions reportable segment, are now reported within the Sustainable Fiber Solutions reportable segment. Likewise, activities related to production and sale of complimentary packaging products and services such as paints, linings and filling, that are used in or relate to our steel products and were previously reported within the Integrated Solutions reportable segment, are now reported within the Durable Metal Solutions reportable segment.

Fiscal Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights:

(all current period results are compared to the second quarter of 2025 and both periods reflect only continuing operations unless otherwise noted)

   -- Net income(1) decreased 32.3% to $12.6 million or $0.22 per diluted Class 
      A share compared to net income of $18.6 million or $0.32 per diluted 
      Class A share. 
 
   -- Net income, excluding the impact of adjustments(2), increased 57.5% to 
      $62.7 million or $1.10 per diluted Class A share compared to net income, 
      excluding the impact of adjustments, of $39.8 million or $0.68 per 
      diluted Class A share. 
 
   -- Adjusted EBITDA(3) increased 7.5% to $156.8 million compared to Adjusted 
      EBITDA of $145.9 million. 
 
   -- Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $5.8 million to a 
      source of $116.6 million. Adjusted free cash flow(4) increased by 
      $92.7 million to a source of $179.3 million. Adjusted free cash flow in 
      the prior year includes contribution from the Containerboard Business and 
      thus is not directly comparable to current year results. 
 
   -- Total debt of $1,005.9 million decreased by $1,769.3 million primarily 
      due to repayment of debt of approximately $1,864.0 million from the sales 
      of the Containerboard Business and the timberlands business. Net debt(5) 
      decreased by $1,802.7 million to $719.8 million. Our leverage ratio(6) 
      decreased to 1.1x from 3.3x. 

Strategic Actions and Announcements

   -- Achieved $75.0 million of run-rate cost optimization by the end of second 
      quarter of fiscal 2026, which increased from the $65.0 million reported 
      as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2026. 
 
   -- Completed previously announced $150.0 million share repurchase program on 
      April 15, 2026, repurchasing a final total of 1.8 million shares of Class 
      A and 0.4 million shares of Class B. 
 
   -- Refinanced long-term debt to 2031 through $500.0 million of Term Loans 
      and $800.0 million of available capacity on a revolving line of credit. 
      Debt secured at favorable rates given market volatility, with a 
      quarter-to-date weighted-average interest rate of 3.14%. 
 
   -- Completed 2026 Gallup Colleague Engagement Survey with over 98% 
      participation and an aggregate score of 91st percentile which is 
      world-class across manufacturing companies. 
 
   -- Issued 17th Annual Sustainability Report available for review at 
      https://www.greif.com/sustainability/. We encourage investors 
      to review this report, which includes key milestones achieved in 2025 as 
      well as an update on our progress towards our 2030 sustainability goals. 

Commentary from CEO Ole Rosgaard

"Greif delivered a resilient second quarter in a continued soft industrial environment. Demand remains subdued, and our results reflect the reality of the markets we serve. That said, we executed well on the factors within our control.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 7.5% with margin expansion, and we generated strong adjusted free cash flow of $179 million reflecting disciplined operations and a structurally stronger cash generation profile.

We have also significantly strengthened our financial position. At 1.1x leverage, our balance sheet provides flexibility to invest in the business, return capital to shareholders, and navigate ongoing uncertainty from a position of strength.

Our strategy remains consistent. We are building for organic growth through operational execution, commercial discipline, and continuous improvement, while complementing that with targeted tuck-in M&A, where we will remain selective and focused on value.

We are not yet seeing a demand inflection, and geopolitical developments, including the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, continue to weigh on industrial activity. As a result, we are taking a more conservative outlook and managing the business accordingly, with a focus on cost control, cash generation, and disciplined execution.

The actions we have taken over the past year are strengthening Greif structurally. We are a more focused, more resilient, and more cash-generative company, better positioned to outperform through the cycle."

Note: A reconciliation of the differences between all non-GAAP financial measures used in this release with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the financial schedules that are a part of this release. These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement, and should be read together with, our financial results. They should not be considered an alternative or substitute for, and should not be considered superior to, our reported financial results. Accordingly, users of this financial information should not place undue reliance on these non-GAAP financial measures.

Fiscal Second Quarter 2026 Segment Results:

(all current period results are compared to the second quarter of 2025 and both periods reflect only continuing operations unless otherwise noted)

Net sales are impacted mainly by the volume of products sold, selling prices and product mix, and the impact of changes in foreign currencies against the U.S. Dollar. The table below shows the percentage impact of each of these items on net sales for our primary products for the fiscal second quarter of 2026 as compared to the prior year quarter for the business segments indicated.

Customized Polymer Solutions

Net sales increased by $22.3 million to $344.8 million primarily due to $18.3 million of positive foreign currency translation impacts and higher volumes.

Gross profit decreased by $2.7 million to $74.1 million. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to higher raw material costs and higher manufacturing costs, partially offset by the same factors that impacted net sales.

Operating profit decreased by $15.3 million to $2.5 million primarily due to higher SG&A expenses and the same factors that impacted gross profit, partially offset by lower compensation expenses related to cost optimizations.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $2.4 million to $45.8 million primarily due to the same factors that impacted net sales and lower compensation expenses related to cost optimizations.

Durable Metal Solutions

Net sales increased by $7.5 million to $380.4 million primarily due to primarily due to $29.0 million positive foreign currency translation impacts, partially offset by $22.0 million attributable to lower volumes.

Gross profit increased by $5.5 million to $89.3 million. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the same factors that impacted net sales.

Operating profit decreased by $2.1 million to $39.0 million primarily due to higher SG&A expenses, partially offset by the same factors that impacted gross profit and lower compensation expenses related to cost optimizations.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $11.6 million to $61.6 million primarily due to the same factors that impacted gross profit and lower compensation expenses related to cost optimizations.

Sustainable Fiber Solutions

Net sales decreased by $38.9 million to $321.8 million primarily due to $35.2 million attributable to lower volumes, and impacts from the Soterra Divestiture.

Gross profit decreased by $6.8 million to $71.3 million. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the same factors that impacted net sales, partially offset by lower raw material, transportation and manufacturing costs.

Operating loss increased by $8.0 million to $10.2 million primarily due to higher SG&A expenses and the same factors that impacted gross profit, partially offset by lower compensation expenses related to cost optimizations.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $5.5 million to $40.8 million primarily due to the same factors that impacted gross profit, partially offset by lower compensation expenses related to cost optimizations.

Innovative Closure Solutions

Net sales increased by $3.5 million to $25.8 million primarily due to higher average selling prices and positive foreign currency translation impact, partially offset by lower volumes.

Gross profit increased by $2.5 million to $12.3 million. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the same factors that impacted net sales.

Operating profit increased by $0.1 million to $4.1 million primarily due to the same factors that impacted gross profit, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $2.4 million to $8.6 million primarily due to the same factors that impacted gross profit.

Tax Summary

During the second quarter, we recorded an income tax rate of 27.1 percent and a tax rate excluding the impact of adjustments of 25.5 percent. Income tax expense for interim periods is calculated using estimated annual effective tax rates applied to year to date earnings, which can result in quarter--to--quarter variability. For fiscal 2026, we expect our tax rate to range between 26.0 to 30.0 percent and our tax rate excluding adjustments to range between 28.0 to 32.0 percent.

Dividend Summary

On February 23, 2026, the Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.56 per share of Class A Common Stock and $0.84 per share of Class B Common Stock, resulting in a total dividend payment of approximately $31.9 million. Dividends were paid by April 1, 2026, to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 16, 2026.

Company Outlook

Our markets have now experienced a multi-year period of industrial contraction, and we have not identified any compelling demand inflection on the horizon. While we believe we are well positioned for an eventual recovery of the industrial economy, at this time we believe it is appropriate to continue to provide only low-end guidance based on the continuing demand trends reflected, both in the current year and in the past year, and current price/cost factors. As a result of current and anticipated consequences of the Middle East conflict, we have reduced our low-end annual Adjusted EBITDA guidance. Call-in details are provided below.

Note: Our fiscal 2026 low-end guidance estimates of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted free cash flow and our estimated tax rate and tax rate excluding the impact of adjustments contain forward-looking statements and actual results may differ materially as a result of known and unknown uncertainties and risks, including those set forth below under the heading "Forward-Looking Statements." In addition, these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are presented on a non-GAAP basis without reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, forecasted net income in the case of Adjusted EBITDA and forecasted net cash provided by operating activities in the case of Adjusted free cash flow, due to the inherent difficulty in projecting and quantifying the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliations, such as gains or losses on the disposal of businesses or properties, plants and equipment, non-cash asset impairment charges due to unanticipated changes in the business, restructuring related activities, acquisition and integration related costs, debt extinguishment costs, stock-based compensation expense, amortization and depreciation expense, merger and acquisition activity, and other costs that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, reconciliations of our guidance for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted free cash flow are not available without unreasonable effort.

The income--tax effects of the non--GAAP reconciling adjustments are calculated using the applicable statutory tax rate for each relevant jurisdiction and may include both current and deferred components, determined in a manner consistent with the nature of each adjustment. Non--GAAP reconciling adjustments are presented on a gross (pre--tax) basis, and the related income--tax effects of those adjustments are disclosed separately from other tax items (e.g., discrete tax benefits or expenses). When a tax item could be viewed as both a discrete tax item and related to a non--GAAP reconciling adjustment, the Company classifies the item in a single category for the period and does not double--count the impact.
