AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Graphic Packaging (GPK)

Graphic Packaging Q2 net income falls to $24 million; 2026 EBITDA guidance at low end

Negative Impact 4 of 5 earnings Written later

Graphic Packaging reported second quarter 2026 net sales of $2,188 million, down 1% from $2,204 million a year earlier, and net income of $24 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, down from $104 million. Adjusted EBITDA fell to $247 million from $336 million, driven by $60 million of commodity input and operating cost inflation, and the company now expects 2026 Adjusted EBITDA at the low end of its guidance range while lowering its Adjusted EPS range, a combination that weighs on shareholder earnings.
