Berry Global Group, Inc. (NYSE:BERY), a leading supplier of sustainable packaging solutions for consumer goods and industrial products, today reported its second fiscal quarter 2022 results, referred to in the following as the March 2022 quarter.

Berry’s Chairman and CEO Tom Salmon said, “For the second fiscal quarter, we reported record revenue of $3.8 billion, an increase of 31% on a two-year basis, as underlying demand for our products remained resilient. We delivered two-year organic volume growth of 3% led primarily by market growth and supported by our organic investments in our Health, Hygiene, & Specialties and Consumer Packaging segments. Adjusted earnings per share came in better than our expectation in the quarter and increased by an impressive 21% on a two-year basis. Organic volumes, operating EBITDA, and cash flow, all finished in line with expectations, despite being impacted by considerable inflation in many of our input costs.

“As we navigate the current environment, we remain highly focused on cost productivity and are continuing to increase prices to offset rising input costs. We continue to prudently invest in each of our businesses to maintain and grow our world-class, low-cost manufacturing base, with an emphasis on organic growth and key growth markets and regions. The continued positive momentum from our investments in areas such as health and wellness, e-commerce, and food safety drive our business toward more sustainable packaging solutions and provide us with a path to deliver long-term, consistent, volume and earnings growth.”

MM Group reports results for the first quarter of 2023

The consolidated sales of the Group increased by EUR 61.7 million or 5.8% to EUR 1,122.1 million (Q1 2022: EUR 1,060.4 million). This growth is mainly due to the acquisition of the MM Packaging division. At EUR 61.6 million, the operating result was EUR 49.5 million below the comparative figure for the previous year (Q1 2022: EUR 111.1 million). This decline is mainly due to downtimes in the MM Board & Paper division due to market and remodeling and restructuring expenses of EUR 15.5 million in the packaging division. The Group's operating margin was therefore 5.5% (Q1 2022: 10.5%).

Sonoco Implementing Price Increases for All Rigid Paper Containers and Closures

Sonoco announced it is increasing prices for all rigid paper containers and closures sold in North America by 5 percent, effective with shipments on, and after, January 15, 2021. According to Ernest Haynes, Division Vice President and General Manager, Rigid Paper and Closures, North America, this price increase is necessary to recover rapidly rising costs for raw materials used to produce rigid paper containers. “Due to the rising cost of both steel and recovered paper, we are experiencing input cost pressures that simply cannot be absorbed,” Haynes said. “Our operational cost increases have been compounded by the on-going COVID-19 pandemic as it impacts labor, the build-up of inventory and associated carrying costs, which is all connected to ensuring the continuity of supply for our customers. As an essential supplier during these challenging times, our primary focus entails doing everything we can to protect our customers from business related disruptions. We take the challenge seriously in that regard and have embraced extraordinary measures to maintain continuity of supply to meet our customers’ most critical needs.”
