Graphic Packaging (NYSE:GPK) reported second-quarter 2026 results that management said were in line to modestly above expectations, as cost-reduction initiatives and operational improvements helped offset elevated inflation and uneven consumer demand.

Net sales declined 1% from a year earlier to $2.2 billion, while adjusted EBITDA totaled $247 million, down $89 million year over year. Adjusted EBITDA margin improved sequentially by 50 basis points to 11.3%. Adjusted earnings per share were $0.14, and adjusted cash flow was $138 million, up $55 million from the prior-year quarter.

“Our second quarter performance reflects the disciplined execution of our global teams and the resilience of our business model,” President and Chief Executive Officer Robbert Rietbroek said. He said volumes were steady year over year despite higher gas prices affecting consumer behavior.

Inflation pressures prompt revised outlook Senior Vice President and Interim Chief Financial Officer Chuck Lischer said the quarter’s EBITDA decline was driven largely by $60 million of commodity input and operating-cost inflation, including logistics, resins, labor, secondary fiber and chemicals. The inflation total was $10 million higher than management had expected entering the quarter.

The company now expects full-year incremental input-cost inflation of about $150 million, compared with its prior estimate of $60 million to $65 million. It consequently expects full-year adjusted EBITDA at the low end of its previously stated $1.05 billion to $1.25 billion guidance range.

Graphic Packaging expects third-quarter adjusted EBITDA of $280 million to $300 million. The company maintained its full-year and third-quarter volume outlook of a 1% decline to 1% growth year over year, while forecasting that foreign exchange and other factors will reduce results by about $20 million in each of the third and fourth quarters.

Management said pricing actions should support results. The company expects favorable pricing to add about $60 million to full-year 2026 sales and EBITDA, with a greater benefit in the fourth quarter than the third. Those actions are expected to produce an annualized run rate of about $145 million.

Third-party recognition in July of a $60-per-ton price increase for bleached cupstock and a $40-per-ton increase for bleached folding carton is expected to contribute about $5 million in 2026, with most of the benefit coming in 2027. The company has also announced further price increases for bleached cupstock, folding carton, recycled paperboard and unbleached paperboard. Lischer said additional pricing actions, if fully recognized, could represent more than $200 million of additional annualized pricing, though they are not expected to materially affect 2026 results because of timing. Cash flow, debt reduction and inventory plans Graphic Packaging lowered its 2026 adjusted cash flow outlook to $600 million to $700 million, citing reduced EBITDA expectations and inventory-reduction goals that have shifted partly into 2027. The midpoint of $650 million would still represent a substantial increase from $169 million in 2025, according to Rietbroek.

The company reduced inventory by approximately $75 million in the first half and cut capital expenditures by about $320 million compared with the first half of 2025. It now expects 2026 capital expenditures below $450 million.

Inventory optimization was affected by an elongated mill maintenance cycle established in 2025 and production issues in unbleached paperboard, which created higher costs and board-supply challenges during the 2026 beverage season. Management said it expects to finish the year with inventory equal to 18% to 19% of sales, with the additional inventory intended to help avoid supply-demand mismatches and maintain customer service.

Net debt declined by $100 million during the quarter to $5.5 billion, with net leverage at 4.7 times. The company plans to pay down $400 million to $500 million of debt in 2026 and expects year-end net leverage of approximately 4.6 times. Lischer said the company’s covenant remains at 5 times through the end of the second quarter of 2027, before returning to 4.25 times in the third quarter of 2027.

Demand trends and portfolio actions Management cited continued demand strength in food and health and beauty, including center-of-the-store staples such as dry cereal, pasta and snack bars. Ready-made grocery meals grew in domestic and international markets, while international dry tea and premium personal-care categories also performed well.

Those gains were offset by weakness in household products and food service. Rietbroek said consumers deferred purchases of items such as facial tissue, laundry detergent, food wrapping and storage products, while shifting more meal consumption toward home preparation. Pet food was an exception, posting year-over-year growth for a second consecutive quarter.

The company recorded $40 million in innovation sales growth during the quarter, with Americas growth led by strength solutions and cups and containers, and international growth led by multi-packs and food trays and bowls.

Graphic Packaging also completed the divestiture of its Croatia facility, announced a proposed closure of its Lebanon, Tennessee, plant, and is evaluating a potential closure of its Winsford, U.K., facility. Management said the actions are intended to simplify its footprint, consolidate volumes and improve cost efficiency, with divestiture proceeds earmarked for debt reduction.

Waco expansion and recycled board opportunity The company is pursuing additional demand at its Waco, Texas, recycled paperboard facility through its newly launched PaceSetter Ridgeline uncoated recycled paperboard, or URB, product. Rietbroek said the company had received initial orders totaling a few thousand tons and had qualified the grade with several additional customers.

Graphic Packaging estimates an addressable URB market of more than 1 million tons across folding cartons, lamination and related applications, with a potential company opportunity exceeding 100,000 tons over time. Management said Waco can produce the material to industry specifications without incremental capital spending and can flex production between coated and uncoated recycled grades.

Rietbroek said the company is conducting a broader market study to refine its long-term strategy and expects to share further details later in 2026.

Melanie Skijus
Vice President of Investor Relations

Good morning. Thank you for joining Graphic Packaging's Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Results Conference Call. Today's presentation will include forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations and projections.

We have with us today Robbert Rietbroek, President and Chief Executive Officer; and Chuck Lischer, Senior Vice President and Interim Chief Financial Officer.

Now let me

Net Sales were $2,188 million; Innovation Sales Growth added $40 million. Net Income of $24 million; Adjusted EBITDA of $247 million, strong execution despite elevated inflation. Structural cost actions expected to generate approximately $85 million of in-year savings, partially offsetting full-year 2026 expected inflation of $150 million. On track to achieve full-year 2026 Net Sales at the high end of guidance range, while Adjusted EBITDA is expected at the low end of guidance range due to the heightened inflationary environment; Adjusted EPS range lowered to reflect higher interest expense and Adjusted Cash Flow guidance updated to $600 million to $700 million. , /PRNewswire/ -- Graphic Packaging Holding Company (NYSE: GPK) ("Graphic Packaging" or the "Company"), a global leader in sustainable consumer packaging, today reported second quarter 2026 results.

Net Sales in second quarter 2026 were $2,188 million, versus $2,204 million in second quarter 2025. Net Income in second quarter 2026 was $24 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, versus Net Income of $104 million, or $0.34 per diluted share in second quarter 2025. Second quarter 2026 and 2025 Net Income were impacted by a net charge from non-recurring and special items and amortization of purchased intangibles of $17 million and $24 million, respectively. Excluding non-recurring and special items and amortization of purchased intangibles, Adjusted Net Income for the second quarter of 2026 was $41 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, and $128 million, or $0.42 per diluted share in second quarter 2025.

"We continued to execute against our near-term strategic priorities and delivered solid second quarter performance, with Adjusted EBITDA at the top of our guidance range despite greater than anticipated inflation," said Robbert Rietbroek, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our business demonstrated resilience, with both sales and volumes increasing in the first half of 2026 compared with the same period in 2025. We are beginning to realize the benefits of our productivity initiatives, disciplined cost management, and improving operational efficiencies, which helped mitigate higher than expected inflationary pressures in the quarter. As a result, we achieved 50 basis points of sequential Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion in the second quarter relative to the first quarter."

"In response to incremental inflation, we implemented additional productivity, cost reduction, and pricing initiatives. The combination of these recent actions and our disciplined execution against strategic priorities positions us to drive continued sequential profitability and margin improvement in the second half of 2026 and provides positive momentum into next year."

Financial and Operating Results

Net Sales

Second quarter 2026 Net Sales decreased 1% to $2,188 million, versus $2,204 million in the same quarter last year. The $16 million decline was driven by a 1% decrease, or $27 million, in price, flat, or $2 million decrease, in volume/mix, partially offset by a $13 million favorable foreign exchange/other impact. Innovation Sales Growth in the second quarter was $40 million.

EBITDA

Second quarter 2026 EBITDA decreased 26% to $240 million from $323 million in the same quarter last year. Excluding the impact of business combinations and other non-recurring and special items, Adjusted EBITDA was $247 million versus $336 million in the same quarter last year. The $89 million decline in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by the impact of commodity input and operating cost inflation of $60 million, lower price of $27 million, lower volume/mix of $8 million, as well as an unfavorable foreign exchange impact of $3 million, partially offset by positive Net Performance of $9 million. Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 11.3% in 2026, and 15.3% in 2025.

Other Results

Total Debt (Long-Term, Short-Term and Current Portion) was $5,688 million in second quarter 2026 compared to $5,592 million in fourth quarter 2025 and $5,772 million in the first quarter 2026.

The Company now expects 2026 Adjusted Cash Flow in the range of $600 million to $700 million, and 2026 capital spending below $450 million.

Optimizing Operations

Furthering our footprint optimization initiative, we completed the divestiture of our Croatia facility and announced plans to close our facility in Lebanon, Tennessee, to consolidate volumes across fewer facilities. Additionally, we notified employees of our intention to evaluate the potential closure of our site in Winsford, UK.

Graphic Packaging Holding Company
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The tables below set forth the calculation of the Company's earnings before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, including pension amortization ("EBITDA"), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Adjusted Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities, Adjusted Cash Flow, Net Leverage Ratio, and Total Net Debt. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income exclude charges associated with: the Company's business combinations, facility shutdowns, certain extended mill outages, sales of assets, non-recurring and other special items. The Company's management believes that the presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Adjusted Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities, Adjusted Cash Flow, and Net Leverage Ratio provides useful information to investors because these measures are regularly used by management in assessing the Company's performance. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Adjusted Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities, Adjusted Cash Flow, and Net Leverage Ratio are financial measures not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), and are not measures of net income, operating income, operating performance, liquidity or net sales presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company's guidance for 2026 Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings per Share, and Adjusted Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures (Net Income, Net Income per Share, and Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities, respectively) because the information necessary to prepare such a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable efforts.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Adjusted Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities, Adjusted Cash Flow, and Net Leverage Ratio should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered substitutes for or superior to GAAP results. In addition, our EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Adjusted Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities, Adjusted Cash Flow, and Net Leverage Ratio may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures utilized by other companies since such other companies may not calculate such measures in the same manner as we do.

NEW YORK, July 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Graphic Packaging Holding Company (“Graphic Packaging” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GPK) and reminds investors of the July 6, 2026 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.

The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.  

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Graphic Packaging’s conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Investors Regarding the Graphic Packaging Holding Company Securities Class Action Lawsuit:

What is the Graphic Packaging securities fraud lawsuit about?
The Graphic Packaging securities fraud lawsuit is a federal securities class action alleging that Graphic Packaging Holding Company (NYSE: GPK) and its executives made false and misleading statements to investors by concealing significant inventory management issues, reduced demand and volumes, and increased costs, while overstating the strength and sustainability of the Company's business model and issuing unreliable financial guidance. As the truth emerged through a series of disclosures — including a May 1, 2025 Q1 earnings miss and sweeping downward revision to FY 2025 guidance, a December 8, 2025 announcement of accelerated inventory reductions, further guidance cuts, and the CEO's departure, and a February 3, 2026 Q4 earnings miss accompanied by a projected meaningful decline in 2026 adjusted EBITDA and the launch of a comprehensive business review — GPK's stock price fell sharply across each disclosure, causing significant cumulative losses for investors.

Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Graphic Packaging Holding Company (NYSE: GPK) between February 4, 2025 and February 2, 2026, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important July 6, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

So what: If you purchased Graphic Packaging securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

What to do next: To join the Graphic Packaging class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=64523 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 6, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered billions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Graphic Packaging was experiencing, inter alia, significant inventory management issues, as well as significantly reduced demand and volumes and increased costs; (2) defendants downplayed the true scope and severity of the foregoing issues, which were likely to, and did, have a material negative impact on Graphic Packaging's business and financial results; (3) defendants likewise overstated the strength and sustainability of Graphic Packaging's business model and operations, as well as its ability to weather ongoing macroeconomic headwinds; (4) accordingly, Graphic Packaging's previously issued full year 2025 financial guidance was unreliable and/or unrealistic; and (5) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Graphic Packaging was experiencing, inter alia, significant inventory management issues, as well as significantly reduced demand and volumes and increased costs; (2) defendants downplayed the true scope and severity of the foregoing issues, which were likely to, and did, have a material negative impact on Graphic Packaging’s business and financial results; (3) defendants likewise overstated the strength and sustainability of Graphic Packaging’s business model and operations, as well as its ability to weather ongoing macroeconomic headwinds; (4) accordingly, Graphic Packaging’s previously issued full year 2025 financial guidance was unreliable and/or unrealistic; and (5) as a result, defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

Graphic Packaging Promised 1.78 Billion in Adjusted EBITDA for 2025; Investors Got 1.43 Billion and a 50% Stock Collapse

, /PRNewswire/ -- Graphic Packaging Holding Company (NYSE: GPK) told investors in February 2025 it would deliver up to 8.9 billion in net sales and 2.78 in adjusted EPS for the full year. Twelve months later, adjusted EBITDA had been slashed by more than $350 million from the top of its original range, the CEO had resigned, and GPK shares had lost more than half their value.

Find out if you qualify to recover losses from GPK's guidance failures. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] or (212) 363-7500.

Investors who purchased GPK securities between February 4, 2025 and February 2, 2026 and suffered losses may be entitled to compensation. Shares closed at $12.42 on February 3, 2026, following three successive corrective disclosures.

The Promise

On February 4, 2025, management issued FY 2025 guidance projecting:

Net Sales: 8.7 billion to 8.9 billion Adjusted EBITDA: 1.68 billion to 1.78 billion Adjusted EPS: 2.53 to 2.78 Management characterized these projections as achievable, asserting the Company would "build on" its "consistent" and "profitable" results and "strong and steady" margins. The lawsuit contends these projections were issued at a time when management knew, or should have known, that significant inventory management issues, reduced demand, and rising costs made the guidance unreliable.

The Reality

By December 8, 2025, the Company had cut guidance twice. The final revised figures told a starkly different story:

Adjusted EBITDA: 1.38 billion to 1.43 billion Adjusted EPS: 1.75 to 1.95 Net Sales guidance: reduced to 8.2 billion to 8.5 billion as early as May 2025 Then, on February 3, 2026, GPK projected a further 130 million negative EBITDA impact in 2026 from inventory reduction actions, plus 100 million in incentive compensation accruals. The new CEO announced a "comprehensive review of our organization structure, operations, and footprint," confirming what the complaint alleges shareholders were not told: the business model was far weaker than represented.

The Numbers: Promised vs. Actual

Adjusted EBITDA (top of range): Promised 1.78B vs.Delivered 1.395B — a gap of $385 million Adjusted EPS (top of range): Promised 2.78 vs.Delivered 1.80 — a gap of $0.98 per share Net Sales (top of range): Promised 8.9B vs.First revision to 8.5B — a $400 million shortfall within three months Q1 2025 EPS: Missed consensus by $0.07, the first signal the guidance was unrealistic Q4 2025 EPS: Missed consensus again by $0.06, confirming the pattern Stock Price: From approximately 25.31 before the May 1 disclosure to 12.42 on February 3, 2026 What the Lawsuit Alleges About the Gap

The action claims management knew its FY 2025 guidance was unreliable when issued. The complaint alleges that inventory levels had been rising since 2023, that consumer demand was deteriorating beyond what management publicly acknowledged, and that 80 million in input cost inflation was already foreseeable.Meanwhile,the complaint identifies that CEO Michael Doss sold 7 million, and CFO Stephen Scherger sold 65,529 shares for nearly $1.8 million before resigning in November 2025.

"Companies that make specific promises to investors about future performance have an obligation to disclose known risks to those projections. The gap between what GPK projected in February 2025 and what it ultimately delivered raises serious questions about whether material information was withheld from the investing public." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles.

Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered billions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Graphic Packaging was experiencing, inter alia, significant inventory management issues, as well as significantly reduced demand and volumes and increased costs; (2) defendants downplayed the true scope and severity of the foregoing issues, which were likely to, and did, have a material negative impact on Graphic Packaging's business and financial results; (3) defendants likewise overstated the strength and sustainability of Graphic Packaging's business model and operations, as well as its ability to weather ongoing macroeconomic headwinds; (4) accordingly, Graphic Packaging's previously issued full year 2025 financial guidance was unreliable and/or unrealistic; and (5) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

NEW YORK, June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pomerantz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Graphic Packaging Holding Company (“Graphic Packaging” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GPK) and certain of its former officers. The class action, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and docketed under 26-cv-03790, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and entities other than Defendants that purchased or otherwise acquired Graphic Packaging securities between February 4, 2025 and February 2, 2026, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), seeking to recover damages caused by Defendants’ violations of the federal securities laws and to pursue remedies under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, against the Company and certain of its former top officials.

If you are an investor who purchased or otherwise acquired Graphic Packaging securities during the Class Period, you have until July 6, 2026, to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class.

Graphic Packaging, together with its subsidiaries, designs, produces, and sells consumer packaging products.  Its customers include businesses in the food, foodservice, beverage, household, and other consumer product industries in the Americas, Europe, and the Asia Pacific. The Company sells its products through sales offices, as well as through broker arrangements with third parties.

At all relevant times, Defendants touted the purported strength and stability of Graphic Packaging’s business model and operations, as well as its purported ability to deliver on its cost and inventory reduction, free cash flow (FCF”), and profitability goals, notwithstanding ongoing and persistent market headwinds challenging the Company’s and its customers’ businesses.

Indeed, in February 2025, despite its President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Defendant Michael P. Doss (“Doss”), acknowledging “unusual volume challenges for the industry and our customers” over the past several years, Graphic Packaging forecasted full year (“FY”) 2025 net sales, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $8.7 billion to $8.9 billion, $1.68 billion to $1.78 billion, and $2.53 to $2.78, respectively, excluding foreign exchange impacts.  Defendant Doss attributed the Company’s ability to weather the aforementioned headwinds to its overall business model and operations, asserting that Defendants would continue to “build on” the Company’s “consisten[t]” and “profit[able]” and “strong and steady” results in 2025.

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations, and prospects.  Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Graphic Packaging was experiencing, inter alia, significant inventory management issues, as well as significantly reduced demand and volumes and increased costs; (ii) Defendants downplayed the true scope and severity of the foregoing issues, which were likely to, and did, have a material negative impact on the Company’s business and financial results; (iii) Defendants likewise overstated the strength and sustainability of the Company’s business model and operations, as well as its ability to weather ongoing macroeconomic headwinds; (iv) accordingly, the Company’s previously issued FY 2025 financial guidance was unreliable and/or unrealistic; and (v) as a result, Defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

The truth began to emerge on May 1, 2025, when Graphic Packaging issued a press release reporting its first quarter (“Q1”) 2025 financial results.  Among other results, the press release reported Q1 non-GAAP EPS of $0.51, missing consensus estimates by $0.07, and revenue of $2.12 billion, representing a 6.2% year-over-year decline, and missing consensus estimates by $10 million.  The press release further revealed that the Company had negatively revised its previously issued FY 2025 net sales outlook to a range of $8.2 billion to $8.5 billion, significantly down from its prior guidance of $8.7 billion to $8.9 billion; its adjusted EBITDA outlook to a range of $1.4 billion to $1.6 billion, significantly down from its prior guidance of $1.68 billion to $1.78 billion; and its adjusted EPS outlook to a range of $1.75 to $2.25, significantly down from its prior guidance of $2.53 to $2.78.  The Company blamed the negatively revised guidance on “an expectation of a 2% volume decline and $80 million of input cost inflation at the midpoint”, as well as “higher macroeconomic and consumer spending uncertainty.”

On this news, Graphic Packaging’s stock price fell $3.94 per share, or 15.57%, to close at $21.37 per share on May 1, 2025. 

On December 8, 2025, Graphic Packaging issued a press release announcing that it “plans to accelerate certain inventory reduction plans into the fourth quarter that were originally planned for 2026”, and that “[p]roduction curtailment is expected to impact fourth quarter operating results by $15 million, which is in addition to the $15 million relating to” certain earlier-announced curtailments. The Company further revealed that it had negatively revised its FY 2025 financial guidance again, now expecting its adjusted EBITDA “to be in the range of $1.38 billion to $1.43 billion”—significantly below its previously revised guidance of $1.4 billion to $1.45 billion—and adjusted EPS “to be in the range of $1.75 to $1.95”—significantly below its previously revised guidance of $1.80 to $2.00.

In a separate press release issued the same day, Graphic Packaging announced that Defendant Doss had “mutually agreed with [its] Board of Directors to step down from his role [as President and CEO] and as a director effective December 31, 2025.”

Following these disclosures, Graphic Packaging’s stock price fell $1.35 per share, or 8.66%, to close at $14.23 per share on December 9, 2025.

Then, on February 3, 2026, Graphic Packaging issued a press release reporting its fourth quarter (“Q4”) and FY 2025 financial results.  Among other results, Graphic Packaging reported Q4 non-GAAP EPS of $0.29, missing consensus estimates by $0.06.  The Company attributed its disappointing Q4 2025 earnings results to, inter alia, lower volumes, increased costs, and inventory reduction.  Further, Graphic Packaging projected a meaningful decline in adjusted EBITDA in 2026, citing “a $130 million negative impact from actions taken to reduce inventory and generate [FCF], an approximately $100 million accrual (non-cash in 2026) for a return to more normal incentive compensation, January weather and production impacts, and other largely offsetting operating items.”

In the same press release, Graphic Packaging’s new President and CEO, Robbert Rietbroek, announced that he had “initiated a comprehensive review of our organization structure, operations, and footprint,” among other aspects of the Company’s business, thereby confirming the weakness and unsustainability of its present business model and operations.

On this news, Graphic Packaging’s stock price fell $2.36 per share, or 15.97%, to close at $12.42 per share on February 3, 2026.

Pomerantz LLP, with offices in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, London, Paris, and Tel Aviv, is acknowledged as one of the premier firms in the areas of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation. Founded by the late Abraham L. Pomerantz, known as the dean of the class action bar, Pomerantz pioneered the field of securities class actions.
