Greif, Inc., a global leader in industrial packaging products and services, operates in the industrial packaging sector, providing tailored solutions to various industries worldwide.
In its fiscal third quarter of 2025, Greif reported a significant decrease in net income, primarily due to the absence of a substantial gain from a previous divestiture. However, the company showed growth in adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, indicating strong operational performance despite mixed demand conditions.
Key financial metrics revealed a 49.6% drop in net income to $39.3 million, while adjusted EBITDA increased by 2.4% to $160.7 million. The company also reported a substantial rise in net cash from operating activities, which increased by $123.1 million to $199.9 million. Strategic actions included the divestiture of the containerboard business and the planned sale of the timberlands business, aligning with Greif’s portfolio optimization strategy.
Greif’s management remains optimistic about achieving long-term commitments, emphasizing cost optimization and strategic portfolio changes. The company continues to focus on generating cash flow and enhancing shareholder returns through increased dividends.
Looking ahead, Greif anticipates continued progress in its strategic initiatives, with expectations of maintaining strong cash flow and adjusted EBITDA performance in fiscal 2025, despite ongoing market challenges.
