Graphic Packaging Holding Company Reports Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Graphic Packaging reported Q3 2026 net sales of $2,192 million, essentially flat year-over-year, with net income of $22 million ($0.07 per diluted share) down sharply from $142 million ($0.48) a year earlier. Adjusted EBITDA fell to $289 million from $383 million (margin 13.2% vs 17.5%), driven by $83 million of commodity input and operating cost inflation plus $15 million of unfavorable price impact, though margin expanded sequentially for a second straight quarter. Net leverage rose to 4.8x from 3.8x at year-end 2025 despite $300 million of sequential net debt reduction, and YTD Adjusted Cash Flow of $314 million swung up $646 million year-over-year.
