CHARLOTTE N.C. , Aug. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- T hird Quarter Highlights GAAP: Net sales of $857 million , Operating income of $22 million Non-GAAP: Adjusted EBITDA of $99 million Twelve-month adjusted free cash flow yield of greater than 25% as of quarter-end Curt Begle , Magnera’s CEO, commented: “We delivered a record third quarter led by organic volume growth, combined with the savings benefits of synergy initiatives and Project Core. In addition, our commercial team executed the disciplined actions required to effectively manage the significant spike in inflationary costs of certain raw materials. As we continue to navigate a dynamic macro-economic environment, we remain focused on executing our strategic objectives and delivering dependable financial results. Consistent with that commitment, we are reaffirming our full-year free cash flow outlook, while holding to the lower end of our adjusted EBITDA guidance range.” Key Financials     June Quarter June YTD GAAP results     2026   2025   2026   2025   Net sales     $ 857 $ 839 $ 2,445 $ 2,365   Operating income       22   13   53   (5 )   June Quarter Reported Comparable (1) June YTD Reported Comparable (1) Adjusted non-GAAP results   2026   2025 % %   2026   2025 % %   Net sales $ 857 $ 839 2 % -   $ 2,445 $ 2,365 3 % (5 %)   Adjusted EBITDA (1)   99   91 9 % 9 %   282   264 7 % 3 %   (1)   Adjusted non-GAAP results exclude items not considered to be ongoing operations.

Dollars in millions Consolidated Overview The net sales increase included a favorable foreign currency change of $21 million and a 1% organic volume improvement, partially offset by an $8 million decrease in selling prices primarily due to negative product mix net of the pass-through of higher raw material costs. The volume increase was mainly attributed to strength in our consumer solutions product categories globally and recovery in North America from winter storm disruptions experienced in the second quarter. The adjusted EBITDA was up 9% primarily as a result of favorable price cost spread of $11 million . Americas The net sales increase included a favorable foreign currency change of $10 million and a 1% organic volume improvement, partially offset by a $13 million decrease in selling prices primarily due to negative product mix net of the pass-through of higher raw material costs. The adjusted EBITDA improvement resulted mostly from a favorable price cost spread of $11 million due to the realized benefits from Project CORE and merger synergies that were partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative costs. Rest of World The net sales increase included a favorable foreign currency change of $11 million and a $5 million increase in selling prices due to the pass-through of higher raw material costs. The adjusted EBITDA declined $2 million as benefits from Project CORE and synergy realization were offset by higher inflation in the region, timing of material pass throughs and higher selling, general and administrative costs.   Investor Conference Call The Company will host a conference call, August 6, 2026 , at 10:00 AM U.S .

A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to comparable measures determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) is set forth at the end of this press release. Information reconciling forward-looking adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow are not provided because such information is not available without unreasonable effort due to high variability, complexity, and low visibility with respect to certain items, including debt refinancing activity or other non-comparable items.   These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to our results computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to operating or net income or cash flows from operating activities, in each case determined in accordance with GAAP. Comparable basis measures exclude the impact of currency translation effects and acquisitions. These non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently by other companies, including other companies in our industry, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures are useful to our investors because they allow for a better period-over-period comparison of operating results by removing the impact of items that, in management’s view, do not reflect our core operating performance. We define “free cash flow” as cash flow from operating activities less net additions to property, plant, and equipment. We believe free cash flow is useful to an investor in evaluating our liquidity because free cash flow and similar measures are widely used by investors, securities analysts, and other interested parties in our industry to measure a company’s liquidity. We believe free cash flow is also useful to an investor in evaluating our liquidity as it can assist in assessing a company’s ability to fund its growth through its generation of cash and as pre-merger cash flow is not indicative of our current structure and operations. We also use Adjusted EBITDA and comparable basis measures, among other measures, to evaluate management performance and in determining performance-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure widely used by investors, securities analysts, and other interested parties in our industry to measure a company’s performance. We also believe these measures are useful to an investor in evaluating our performance without regard to revenue and expense recognition, which can vary depending upon accounting methods. (2) Includes restructuring, business optimization and other charges, which includes $17 million of transaction compensation expense in the prior year (3) Consists of estimated parent-allocated charges for the period prior to merger which is required by GAAP as part of the carve-out financial statement process (4) Prior year includes $12 million inventory step-up charge related to the merger and other non-cash charges (5) Includes expense for stock compensation and disposals and sale of assets (6) The prior year comparable basis change excludes the impacts of foreign currency and acquisitions/mergers IR Contact Information                                                          Robert Weilminster EVP, Investor Relations         [email protected]                  Source: Magnera Corporation 2026 GlobeNewswire, Inc., source Press Releases
