Greif Q3 sales rise to $1.45 billion, but adjusted EBITDA falls 14.5%

Mixed earnings Written later 2.02 7.01

Greif reported fiscal third-quarter 2024 results for the period ended July 31, 2024. Net sales rose to $1,454.2 million, but net income attributable to Greif fell 3.5% to $87.1 million, and adjusted EBITDA fell 14.5% to $193.7 million, while net debt rose $701.5 million to $2,715.3 million, which matters to shareholders because it increases financial leverage even as the company raised its quarterly dividend.

Net sales increased to $1,454.2 million from $1,330.3 million a year earlier, mainly on higher average selling prices and volumes.
Diluted earnings per Class A share were $1.50, versus $1.55 a year earlier; excluding adjustments, they were $1.03, versus $1.75.
Net debt rose to $2,715.3 million and the leverage ratio increased to 3.66x from 2.17x in the prior-year quarter.
The Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.54 per Class A share, up 2 cents from the prior quarter, payable October 1, 2024.

Briefs are written by AI from the filing text and can contain mistakes — open the filing before acting on anything. Impact (1-5) and tone are the AI's reading of the filing for shareholders, not a price forecast. Not investment advice.

Briefs marked “Written later” were written in November 2026 for filings that were by then more than three weeks old, so months before mid-October 2026 hold a selection: every material 8-K of the past year for the 100 largest companies we cover and the last 15 important 8-Ks of every other one. Briefs the number check holds back are not shown or counted. Also: the last 45 days, briefs by company, A–Z and the live SEC filings wire.
