Berry Announces Second Quarter 2023 Results

Second Quarter Highlights:
*GAAP: Net sales of $3.3 billion; Operating income of $301 million; Earnings per share of $1.42
*Non-GAAP: Operating EBITDA of $541 million; Adjusted earnings per share of $1.96
*Returned $187 million to shareholders in the quarter ($155 million via share repurchases and $32 million in dividends)
*Fiscal 2023 outlook: Reaffirmed adjusted EPS and free cash flow ranges

Chairman and CEO Tom Salmon said, “Our business delivered solid second quarter and first half results with adjusted earnings per share growth of 4% and 7%, respectively. During the past several quarters, we have seen supply chain constraints continue to ease, prioritized structural cost improvements and continued our efforts to pivot our portfolio to high-value growth products across all of our businesses. Our cost actions include the rationalizing of 15 facilities across the world, moving business to more efficient cost facilities, and other labor cost reductions from improved productivity. These cost savings initiatives are expected to provide annualized cost savings of $115 million and we expect to realize $70 million in fiscal 2023. These internal actions helped to offset a 6% volume decline driven by destocking and general market softness. We continued our focus on driving long-term value for our shareholders and repurchased $155 million of shares, or another 2.1% of shares outstanding, in the second quarter, while also paying our quarterly dividend. We believe our shares remain undervalued and our repurchases reflect our confidence in the outlook of our business, our long-term strategy, and the strength of our operating model and cash flows.

“We will continue to target key end markets which offer greater potential for differentiation and long-term growth, such as healthcare, beauty, and foodservice. Additionally, we will continue to invest and expand our emerging market exposure while delivering highly desired innovative and sustainability-focused customer-linked products. Together, with these growth drivers, we are making long-lasting structural cost improvements while advancing our strategic initiatives to exit 2023 a much stronger and more focused Company.”

Keep the circular economy spinning with UPM Raflatac’s range of LabelLoop™ solutions created from recycled label liner waste

The labeling industry’s first truly closed-loop solutions for paper materials are here with the introduction of the UPM Raflatac LabelLoop™ range. Now available in the Americas market, this product portfolio includes paper label face materials constructed from recycled paper label liner – a first of their kind. The products were officially launched at this week’s Pack Expo Connects event. Today’s brands are looking for innovative solutions to help them meet their sustainability commitments, such as landfill reduction targets and increased use of recycled content. LabelLoop addresses this need and illustrates the company’s dedication to enabling the circular economy and working toward a future beyond fossils. Silicone and adhesive residue on waste liner causes major contamination, so liner that does get recycled is often downcycled into lower quality material. Now, with LabelLoop, these liners can continue to be used by the labeling industry, getting UPM Raflatac, its customers and end-users one step closer to a true circular economy.

Mondi brings water-soluble cement bags to Balearics

Mondi is announcing the Spanish launch of its ground-breaking SolmixBag in collaboration with Cemex, by bringing it to the building industry on the Balearic Islands of Ibiza, Mallorca and Menorca. Cemex, a global buildings materials company, and Mondi established a valuable partnership during the past 12 years, kicking off the recent collaboration about SolmixBag in 2021. Cemex was looking for a sustainable cement bag to meet legal requirements on the Spanish islands regarding landfilling and incineration of waste, as well as drive its own sustainability goals. Jointly, the two global companies found a fit-for-purpose solution, achieving zero waste with the introduction of SolmixBag, complying with the extended producer responsibility (EPR) for the packaging . SolmixBag is a one-ply paper bag made from 100% kraft paper which stores and transports dry cement, screed and coarse pre-mixes: its ingenious design means that it disintegrates during the mixing process, eliminating dust and waste on the building site. Strong and durable, the bag is resistant to punctures and dissolves when it gets in contact with water in the cement mixer, where the fibre packaging integrates with the cement.
