Graphic Packaging Holding Company, headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, is a global leader in designing and producing sustainable consumer packaging primarily from renewable or recycled materials, serving major brands in food, beverage, and other consumer products.
In its latest earnings report for the second quarter of 2025, Graphic Packaging Holding Company reported a net income of $104 million, a decrease from $190 million in the same quarter last year. The company highlighted its ongoing investment in a recycled paperboard facility in Waco, Texas, which is on track for a fourth-quarter startup, and noted a modest increase in packaging volumes and innovation sales growth.
Key financial metrics revealed a 1% decline in net sales to $2,204 million, attributed to the divestiture of a manufacturing facility and reduced market sales, partially offset by favorable foreign exchange impacts. Adjusted EBITDA also saw a decrease, driven by price reductions and inflationary pressures in labor and input costs. Despite these challenges, the company repurchased $111 million in shares, reducing outstanding shares by 1.6%.
Looking ahead, Graphic Packaging expects to generate substantial cash flow exceeding internal needs, with plans to return significant cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. The company remains optimistic about its strategic investments and innovation platform, positioning itself as a preferred supplier for major consumer brands worldwide.
