Positive Impact 3 of 5 earnings Written later

Greif reported fiscal first quarter 2026 results for the three months ended December 31, 2025. Adjusted EBITDA rose 24.0% to $122.5 million, and adjusted net income rose 146.3% to $26.6 million, while net sales fell to $994.8 million from $1,016.7 million. The company reaffirmed its low-end fiscal 2026 guidance of $630 million Adjusted EBITDA and $315 million Adjusted free cash flow.

Key points

  • Adjusted EBITDA rose to $122.5 million from $98.8 million, driven in part by $65.0 million of run-rate cost optimization.
  • Adjusted net income was $26.6 million, or $0.48 per diluted Class A share, versus $10.8 million, or $0.20, a year earlier.
  • Net sales were $994.8 million versus $1,016.7 million, and net cash used in operating activities was $24.4 million.
  • About $130.0 million of share repurchases were completed in the quarter, and the Board authorized an additional $300.0 million of future repurchases.
