1. Quarterly results
Greif reported fourth-quarter revenue of $1.14 billion, above the $1.11 billion analyst consensus, and a net loss of $3.20 million. Higher average selling prices contributed to sales growth across its four business segments.
2. Savings and outlook
The company achieved $105 million in annual run-rate cost savings, exceeding its original target. For fiscal 2027, Greif forecasts adjusted EBITDA of $645 million and adjusted free cash flow of $290 million, providing only the low end of guidance due to ongoing weak industrial demand.
3. Supply costs
Greif said elevated inventory and higher resin costs reflected strategic actions to ensure supply continuity amid Middle East disruptions.
