DELAWARE, Ohio, June 7, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Greif, Inc. (NYSE: GEF, GEF.B), a global leader in
industrial packaging products and services, today announced second
quarter 2023 results.
Second Quarter Financial Highlights include (all
results compared to the second quarter of 2022 unless otherwise
noted):
- Net income of $111.2 million or
$1.90 per diluted Class A share
decreased compared to net income of $125.1
million or $2.09 per diluted
Class A share. Net income, excluding the impact of
adjustments(1), of $103.8
million or $1.77 per diluted
Class A share decreased compared to net income, excluding the
impact of adjustments, of $144.9
million or $2.41 per diluted
Class A share.
- Adjusted EBITDA(2) of $228.6
million decreased by $22.4
million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $251.0 million.
- Net cash provided by operating activities increased by
$71.6 million to $210.8 million. Adjusted free cash
flow(3) increased by $70.7
million to a source of $185.5
million.
- Total debt of $2,289.2 million
increased by $189.3 million primarily
due to funds needed for the Centurion Container LLC ("Centurion")
and Lee Container acquisitions completed in fiscal Q2 2023 and Q1
2023, respectively, partially offset by the funds received from the
Tama, IA mill divestiture in Q1
2023. Net debt(4) increased by $139.5 million to $2,130.7
million. Our leverage ratio(5) increased to 2.25x
from 2.11x sequentially, which is within our targeted leverage
ratio range of 2.0x - 2.5x, and increased from 2.12x in the prior
year quarter.
Strategic Actions and Announcements
- On March 31, 2023, we completed
the previously announced transaction increasing our ownership stake
in Centurion from approximately 10% to 80% in an all-cash
transaction for $145.0 million. The
one-month of contribution from Centurion is reported within the
second quarter 2023 Global Industrial Packaging segment results,
and our revised guidance includes the expected contribution from
Centurion for the remainder of the year.
CEO Commentary
"The past three months have truly showcased the remarkable
effectiveness of our Build to Last strategy," commented
Ole Rosgaard, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Greif. "Despite operating in an environment of
ongoing demand uncertainties, our teams have remained agile and
resolutely focused on delivering exceptional value to our
shareholders. They have successfully implemented cost
rationalization measures within our system, driving robust cash
flow generation and achieving the highest-ever second-quarter free
cash flow in our company's history. Additionally, we have achieved
the second-highest second-quarter EBITDA, surpassing all quarters
except the historic Q2 2022 comparative against which this
quarter's performance is measured. I am immensely proud of our
teams, who continue to demonstrate unwavering dedication,
motivation, and excellence in their work."
Build to Last Mission Progress
Customer satisfaction is a key component of our mission to
deliver Legendary Customer Service. Our consolidated
CSI(6) score was 94.1 at the end of the second quarter
2023. Paper Packaging & Services CSI score was 92.8, and Global
Industrial Packaging CSI score was 95.6, which exceeded Greif's
aspirational target of 95.0. We thank our customers for their
continued feedback which is critical to helping us achieve our
vision to be the best performing customer service company in the
world.
Recently, Greif attended Interpack, a premier global packaging
trade show in Dusseldorf, Germany.
During the exhibition Greif collaborated with many of our customers
using our Interactive Green Tool, which helps our customers make
more informed, data-driven and sustainable decisions related to
their packaging products. Collaborative and sustainability-linked
partnerships with our customers help Protect our Future and Create
Thriving Communities for the broader global communities in which
our products are used.
Greif is also dedicated to Creating Thriving Communities for our
world-class global colleagues. During the quarter, the Company
completed its 6th annual Colleague Engagement Survey administered
by Gallup. Based on feedback received from this survey, the
Company's overall engagement score increased, and the Company is
again recognized within the top quartile of all manufacturing
companies, which highlights the extraordinary commitment of our
diverse, talented and engaged colleagues.
In addition, at the end of May
2023, Greif was named to Newsweek's first-ever Top 100
Global Most Loved Workplaces list. Greif has been consistently
ranked as a Top 100 US Most Loved Workplace and is now excited that
Newsweek has expanded their scope to the global platform, providing
Greif the opportunity to showcase our exemplary dedication to our
colleagues.
During the quarter, we published our 14th Annual Sustainability
Report. This report highlights our goals and milestones achieved
related to all elements of our sustainability journey: Delivering
Superior Customer Experience; Reducing Our Footprint, Addressing
Risk; Valuing Our People; Advancing Circular Economy; and Financial
Performance & Profitable Growth. We encourage engagement and
feedback from our investor community as we seek to continually
progress our Build to Last mission of Protecting Our Future. More
information can be found at
https://www.greif.com/sustainability-2022/about-our-report/.
In addition to the financial strength demonstrated through the
Q2 2023 overall financial results, in May we signed a new
$300.0 million senior secured
credit agreement (the "2023 Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of
banks from the Farm Credit System led by CoBank. The proceeds of
this 2023 Credit Agreement were used to refinance an equivalent
amount of outstanding borrowings on our revolver, freeing up
immediate capacity on our revolver to allow for further inorganic
and organic growth aligned to our Build to Last strategy.

Note: A reconciliation of the differences between all non-GAAP
financial measures used in this release with the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the financial
schedules that are a part of this release. These non-GAAP financial
measures are intended to supplement and should be read together
with our financial results. They should not be considered an
alternative or substitute for, and should not be considered
superior to, our reported financial results. Accordingly, users of
this financial information should not place undue reliance on these
non-GAAP financial measures.
Segment Results (all results compared to the second quarter
of 2022 unless otherwise noted)
Net sales are impacted mainly by the volume of primary
products(7) sold, selling prices, product mix and the
impact of changes in foreign currencies against the U.S. Dollar.
The table below shows the percentage impact of each of these items
on net sales for our primary products for the second quarter of
2023 as compared to the prior year quarter for the business
segments with manufacturing operations. Net sales from Lee
Container and Centurion's primary products are not included in the
table below, but will be included in the Global Industrial
Packaging segment starting in the first quarter and second quarter
of fiscal 2024 respectively.

Global Industrial Packaging
Net sales decreased by $223.5
million to $748.2 million
primarily due to lower volumes and lower average selling prices.
Additionally, there was approximately $59.5 million of prior year net sales
attributable to the Flexible Products & Services business,
which was sold on March 31, 2022.
Gross profit decreased by $7.4
million to $177.9 million. The
decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the same factors that
impacted net sales, partially offset by lower raw material,
transportation and manufacturing costs.
Operating profit increased by $3.3
million to $111.3 million
primarily due to a $9.8 million
gain recognized on our previously held interest in Centurion and to
gain on disposal of properties, plants and equipment, partially
offset by the same factors that impacted gross profit.
Additionally, there was a $6.5 million offset due to prior year
operating profit attributable to the Flexible Products &
Services business. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $9.7 million to $121.2
million primarily due to the same factors that impacted
gross profit.
Paper Packaging & Services
Net sales decreased by $134.5
million to $554.8 million
primarily due to lower volumes.
Gross profit decreased by $19.4
million to $131.4 million. The
decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the same factors that
impacted net sales, partially offset by lower raw material,
transportation and manufacturing costs.
Operating profit decreased by $12.5
million to $67.6 million
primarily due to the same factors that impacted gross profit,
partially offset by lower SG&A expenses. Adjusted EBITDA
decreased by $12.5 million to
$104.9 million primarily due to the
same factors that impacted operating profit.
Tax Summary
During the second quarter, we recorded an income tax rate of
25.3 percent and a tax rate excluding the impact of adjustments of
27.0 percent. Note that the application of FIN 18 frequently causes
fluctuations in our quarterly effective tax rates. For fiscal 2023,
we expect our tax rate and our tax rate excluding adjustments to be
towards the high-end of our 23.0 to 27.0 percent range.
Dividend Summary
On June 5, 2023, the Board of
Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.50 per share of Class A Common Stock and
$0.75 per share of Class B Common
Stock. Dividends are payable on July 1,
2023, to stockholders of record at the close of business on
June 19, 2023.

Note: Fiscal 2023 net income, the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA, is not provided in this
release due to the potential for one or more of the following, the
timing and magnitude of which we are unable to reliably forecast:
restructuring-related activities; acquisition and integration
related costs; non-cash pension settlement charges; non-cash asset
impairment charges due to unanticipated changes in the business;
gains or losses on the disposal of businesses or properties, plants
and equipment, net. No reconciliation of the 2023 guidance of
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes
restructuring charges, acquisition and integration costs, non-cash
asset impairment charges, non-cash pension settlement charges, and
(gain) loss on the disposal of properties, plants, equipment and
businesses, net, is included in this release because, due to the
high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and
projections of some of the excluded information, together with some
of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible,
we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to
be included in net income, the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measure, without unreasonable efforts. A reconciliation
of the 2023 guidance of adjusted free cash flow to fiscal 2023
forecasted net cash provided by operating activities, the most
directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is included in this
release.

EBITDA is defined as
net income, plus interest expense, net, plus income tax expense,
plus depreciation, depletion and amortization. However, because the
Company does not calculate net income by segment, this table
calculates EBITDA by segment with reference to operating profit by
segment, which, as demonstrated in the table of Consolidated
EBITDA, is another method to achieve the same result. See the
reconciliations in the table of Segment EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA is
defined as net income, plus interest expense, net, plus debt
extinguishment charges, plus income tax expense, plus depreciation,
depletion and amortization expense, plus restructuring charges,
plus acquisition and integration related costs, plus non-cash asset
impairment charges, plus (gain) loss on disposal of properties,
plants, equipment and businesses, net.
