Greif Reports Fiscal Third Quarter 2025 Results
DELAWARE, Ohio (August 27, 2025) – Greif, Inc. (NYSE: GEF, GEF.B), a global leader in industrial packaging products and services, today announced fiscal third quarter 2025 results.
As previously announced, on June 30, 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to divest our containerboard business, including our CorrChoice sheet feeder system (the “Containerboard Business”), in an all-cash transaction for $1.8 billion to Packaging Corporation of America. The transaction is expected to close effective as of August 31, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. As a result, the Containerboard Business is presented as discontinued operations beginning in the third quarter of 2025. Unless otherwise noted, the discussions and disclosure tables throughout this press release relate only to our continuing operations.
Fiscal Third Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights:
(all current period results are compared to the third quarter of 2024 and both periods reflect only continuing operations unless otherwise noted)
Net income decreased 49.6% to $39.3 million or $0.67 per diluted Class A share compared to net income of $78.0 million or $1.35 per diluted Class A share primarily due to a $46.1 million gain from the divestiture of Delta Petroleum Company, Inc. during the third quarter of 2024 (the “Delta Divestiture”). Net income, excluding the impact of adjustments(1), increased 11.6% to $60.4 million or $1.03 per diluted Class A share compared to net income, excluding the impact of adjustments, of $54.1 million or $0.92 per diluted Class A share.
Combined Adjusted EBITDA(2) increased 11% to $220.9 million compared to Combined Adjusted EBITDA of $199.4 million. Net income for the current period from continuing operations and discontinued operations was $39.3 million and $24.7 million, respectively, compared to $78.0 million and $9.1 million, also respectively.
Adjusted EBITDA(3) increased 2.4% to $160.7 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $157.0 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $123.1 million to a source of $199.9 million. Adjusted free cash flow(4) increased by $136.4 million to a source of $170.7 million.
Total debt of $2,717.0 million decreased by $192.5 million. Net debt(5) decreased by $283.5 million to $2,431.8 million. Our leverage ratio(6) decreased to 3.1x from 3.6x in the prior year quarter.
Strategic Actions and Announcements
Signed definitive agreement for the sale of timberlands business for $462.0 million to Molpus Woodlands Group, subject to customary closing conditions, with the closing anticipated October 1, 2025.
Previously announced planned sale of Greif’s Containerboard Business expected to close effective as of August 31, 2025.
Continuing to make progress on cost optimization initiatives, with run-rate savings of $20.0 million achieved by the end of Q3 2025 and already at the midpoint of our committed $15 - $25 million range.
Our Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends reflecting an increase of $0.02 per share on our Class A Common Stock and $0.03 per share on our Class B Common Stock, respectively, from the prior quarter’s dividends on such shares, continuing our Board’s commitment to increasing direct shareholder return while also continuing to invest in our business.
Commentary from CEO Ole Rosgaard
“Greif continued to execute this quarter, as evidenced in particular by our strong $171 million of adjusted free cash flow generation.” stated Ole Rosgaard, President and Chief Executive Officer of Grief. “While demand remains mixed, we are driving cash production, ramping up our cost optimization, and executing on portfolio changes all of which give us high confidence in achieving our long-term commitments and creating value for our investors.”

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.



Fiscal Third Quarter 2025 Segment Results:
(all current period results are compared to the third quarter of 2024 and both periods reflect only continuing operations unless otherwise noted)
Net sales are impacted mainly by the volume of products sold, selling prices and 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 fiscal third quarter of 2025 as compared to the prior year quarter for the business segments indicated.
Net Sales ImpactCustomized Polymer SolutionsDurable Metal SolutionsSustainable Fiber SolutionsIntegrated Solutions
Currency Translation2.4%2.7%(0.1)%0.8%
Volume2.2%(5.8)%(7.6)%2.6%
Selling Prices and Product Mix3.3%(2.7)%2.1%1.2%
Total Impact7.9%(5.8)%(5.6)%4.6%
Customized Polymer Solutions
Net sales increased by $25.1 million to $339.8 million primarily due to $7.0 million attributable to higher volumes and $10.5 million from higher average selling prices and positive foreign currency translation impacts.
Gross profit increased by $10.1 million to $70.7 million. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the same factors that impacted net sales, partially offset by higher raw material costs and higher manufacturing costs.
Operating profit decreased by $0.8 million to $8.8 million primarily due to higher SG&A expenses related to higher compensation expenses and higher restructuring and other charges, partially offset by the same factors that impacted gross profit.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $1.1 million to $39.4 million primarily due to the same factors that impacted operating profit.
Durable Metal Solutions
Net sales decreased by $24.3 million to $399.8 million primarily due to $24.6 million attributable to lower volumes.
Gross profit increased by $0.7 million to $86.4 million. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to lower raw material costs, partially offset by the same factors that impacted net sales.
Operating profit increased by $1.4 million to $37.6 million primarily due to the same factors that impacted gross profit.
Adjusted EBITDA increased by $2.1 million to $47.7 million primarily due to the same factors that impacted gross profit.
Sustainable Fiber Solutions
Net sales decreased by $17.6 million to $308.0 million primarily due to $24.5 million attributable to lower volumes, partially offset by $6.8 million from higher published containerboard and boxboard prices.
Gross profit increased by $7.5 million to $75.4 million. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to lower raw material costs and lower manufacturing costs, partially offset by the same factors that impacted net sales.
Operating profit decreased by $12.7 million to $23.2 million primarily due to higher restructuring and other charges related to plant closures, partially offset by the same factors that impacted gross profit.
Adjusted EBITDA increased by $8.4 million to $65.5 million primarily due to the same factors that impacted gross profit.
Integrated Solutions
Net sales decreased by $13.4 million to $87.1 million primarily due to a $14.3 million impact from the Delta Divestiture during the third quarter of 2024.
Gross profit decreased by $5.9 million to $24.8 million. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the Delta Divestiture.



Operating profit decreased by $51.5 million to $3.5 million primarily due to a $46.1 million gain from the Delta Divestitures during the third quarter of 2024 and the same factors that impacted gross profit.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $5.7 million to $8.1 million primarily due to the same factors that impacted gross profit.
Tax Summary
During the third quarter, we recorded an income tax rate of 21.1 percent and a tax rate excluding the impact of adjustments of 22.4 percent. Calculating income tax expense during interim periods frequently causes fluctuations in our quarterly effective tax rates. For fiscal 2025, we expect our tax rate and our tax rate excluding adjustments to range between 27.0 to 32.0 percent.
Dividend Summary
On August 26, 2025, the Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.56 per share of Class A Common Stock and $0.84 per share of Class B Common Stock. Dividends are payable on October 1, 2025, to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 16, 2025.
                                                        




Company Outlook

Fiscal 2025 Outlook Reported at Q3
Combined Adjusted EBITDA$725 - $735
Adjusted free cash flow$305 - $315
Note: Fiscal 2025 net income guidance, inclusive of both continuing and discontinued operations, 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: gains or losses on the disposal of businesses or properties, plants and equipment, net; non-cash asset impairment charges due to unanticipated changes in the business; restructuring and other related activities; acquisition and integration related costs; and ongoing initiatives under our Build to Last strategy. No reconciliation of the 2025 guidance estimate of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes restructuring and other charges, acquisition and integration related costs, non-cash asset impairment charges, (gain) loss on the disposal of properties, plants, equipment and businesses, net, and other costs, 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 2025 guidance estimate of Adjusted free cash flow to fiscal 2025 forecasted net cash provided by operating activities, inclusive of both continuing and discontinued operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is included in this release.
