Graphic Packaging Holding Company (“GPHC” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is committed to creating consumer packaging that makes a world of difference. The Company is a leading producer of consumer goods packaging made from renewable or recycled materials. The Company designs and manufactures sustainable packaging solutions including cartons, multipack cartons, trays, carriers, paperboard canisters, as well as cups and bowls made primarily from unbleached paperboard, recycled paperboard, and bleached paperboard.

The Company serves a wide variety of consumer markets, from food and beverage, to foodservice, household products, beauty and health care. We produce packaging solutions at over 100 locations in over 20 countries around the world, serving customers ranging from local to multinational consumer products companies and retailers. The Company offers one of the most comprehensive ranges of packaging design, manufacture, and execution capabilities available. The Company currently manufactures most of the paperboard it consumes in the Americas and purchases from third parties the majority of the paperboard it consumes in its International Paperboard Packaging operations.

Graphic Packaging works closely with its customers to understand their needs and goals and to create new and innovative designs customized to their specific needs. The Company’s approach serves to build and strengthen long-term relationships with purchasing, brand management, marketing, and other key customer functions. The Company is organized to bring the full resources of its global and local innovation, design, and manufacturing capabilities to all of its customers with the goal of delivering packaging solutions that are more circular, more functional, and more convenient.

In the Company’s opinion, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. The Company’s year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and do not include all the information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. Therefore, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. In addition, the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates and changes in these estimates are recorded when known.

The Company manufactures and converts paperboard for and into consumer packaging made from renewable or recycled materials, from which it generates revenue from contracts with customers. Revenue is disaggregated primarily by geography and type of activity as further explained in “Note 9 - Segment Information”. All reportable segments and the Paperboard Manufacturing operating segment recognize revenue under the same method, allocate transaction price using similar methods, and have similar economic factors impacting the uncertainty of revenue and related cash flows.

Revenue is recognized on the Company's annual and multi-year supply contracts when the Company satisfies the performance obligation by transferring control over the product or service to a customer, which is generally based on shipping terms and passage of title under the point-in-time method of recognition. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $2,110 million and $2,251 million, respectively, of revenue from contracts with customers.

The transaction price allocated to each performance obligation consists of the stand-alone selling price, estimates of rebates and other sales or contract renewal incentives, and cash discounts and sales returns (“Variable Consideration”) and excludes sales tax. Estimates are made for Variable Consideration based on contract terms and historical experience of actual results and are applied to the performance obligations as they are satisfied. Purchases by the Company’s principal customers are manufactured and shipped with minimal lead time, therefore performance obligations are generally satisfied shortly after manufacturing and shipment. The Company uses standard payment terms that are consistent with industry practice.

The Company's contract assets consist primarily of contract renewal incentive payments to customers which are amortized over the period in which performance obligations related to the contract renewal are satisfied. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, contract assets were $23 million and $24 million, respectively. The Company's contract liabilities consist principally of rebates, and as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $50 million and $69 million, respectively.

Accounts receivable are stated at the amount owed by the customer, net of an allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts, returns and allowances, and cash discounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on historical experience, current economic conditions and the creditworthiness of customers. Receivables are charged to the allowance when determined to be no longer collectible.

The Company engages with third party financial institutions to sell certain trade accounts receivable from customers. Transfers under these agreements meet the requirements to be accounted for as sales of receivables in accordance with the Transfers and Servicing topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”). The receivables sold are reflected as a reduction of accounts receivable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at the time of sale. The corresponding proceeds are reflected in Cash Flows from Operating Activities within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. A portion of the Company’s European receivables program proceeds do not meet the requirements to be accounted for as sales of receivables and are therefore reflected in Cash Flows from Investing Activities within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as “Beneficial Interest on Sold Receivables” and “Beneficial Interest Obtained in Exchange for Proceeds”. The loss on sale for all programs is included in Other Expense, Net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following table summarizes the activity under these programs for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
In millions	2025		2024
Receivables Sold and Derecognized	$	876	$	914
Proceeds Collected on Behalf of Financial Institutions	872		884
Net Proceeds Paid to Financial Institutions	(52)		(15)
Deferred Purchase Price at March 31(a)	17		15
Pledged Receivables at March 31	157		160

The Company also participates in supply chain financing arrangements offered by certain customers that qualify for sale accounting in accordance with the Transfers and Servicing topic of the FASB Codification. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company sold receivables of $262 million and $250 million, respectively, related to these arrangements.

On April 30, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an additional share repurchase program to allow the Company to purchase up to $1.5 billion of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions and Rule 10b5-1 plans (the “2025 share repurchase program”). The previous $500 million share repurchase program was authorized on July 27, 2023 (the “2023 share repurchase program”), in addition to the $500 million share repurchase program that was authorized on January 28, 2019 (the “2019 share repurchase program”) which was completed in May 2024. During the first three months of 2025 and 2024, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock. At March 31, 2025, the Company had $1.865 billion available for additional repurchases under the 2025 and 2023 share repurchase programs.

The Company has arranged a supplier finance program (“SFP”) with a financial intermediary, which provides certain suppliers the option to be paid by the financial intermediary earlier than the due date on the applicable invoice. The transactions are at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and financial institution, and GPHC is not a party to the agreements and has no economic interest in the supplier’s decision to sell a receivable. The range of payment terms negotiated by the Company with its suppliers is consistent, irrespective of whether a supplier participates in the program. The agreement with the financial intermediary does not require GPHC to provide assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees for the supplier finance program. Amounts due to the Company’s suppliers that elected to participate in the SFP program are included in Accounts Payable on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and payments made under the SFP program are reflected in Cash Flows from Operating Activities in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Accounts Payable included $30 million payable to suppliers who elected to participate in the SFP program as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

(c) In 2025, $4 million was credited to compensation expense for stock incentive plans due to performance adjustments for performance-based awards for the 2024 grant of restricted stock units previously expensed in 2024 and related to the change in terms of the 2024 grant under the Graphic Packaging Holding Company 2014 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2014 Plan”) (see “Note 4 - Stock Incentive Plans”).

During 2024, the Company decided to close multiple packaging facilities by the end of 2024 and early 2025. These are in addition to the multiple packaging facilities that the Company decided to close by the end of 2023 and early 2024. Production from these facilities will be consolidated into other existing packaging facilities. Charges associated with this project are included in Exit Activities in the table above. For more information, see “Note 12 - Exit Activities”. Current Assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet also includes $7 million relating to multiple packaging facilities that met the held for sale criteria as of March 31, 2025.

On February 7, 2023, the Company announced its plan to build a new recycled paperboard manufacturing facility located in Waco, Texas. In conjunction with the completion of this project, the Company expects to close two smaller recycled paperboard manufacturing facilities in order to consolidate production into fewer, more efficient locations. On April 1, 2025, the Company announced its intention to permanently close one of these facilities, the Middletown, Ohio, recycled paperboard manufacturing facility, on or about June 1, 2025. Charges associated with these two closures are included in Exit Activities in the table above. For more information, see “Note 12 - Exit Activities”.

During the third quarter of 2023, the Company decided to permanently decommission the K3 recycled paperboard machine in Kalamazoo, Michigan as part of its recycled paperboard network optimization plan that the Company initiated in 2019. Through December 31, 2024, the Company incurred charges of $20 million related to the write-off of inventory and accelerated depreciation for the assets included in Costs of Sales in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and $8 million for dismantling of the recycled paperboard machine for the assets included in Exit Activities in the table above.
