Graphic Packaging Reports Q3 2026 Results Amid Input Cost Inflation
Graphic Packaging (GPK) reported third-quarter 2026 net sales of $2.192 billion, a modest increase driven by a 1% improvement in volume and mix. Despite this growth, the company faced significant headwinds, with adjusted EBITDA falling to $289 million from $383 million in the prior year period. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) also saw a sharp decline to $0.23 compared to $0.58 in Q3 2025. The financial results were heavily impacted by approximately $170 million in incremental input cost inflation across logistics, chemicals, resins, and labor. While the company is implementing pricing actions to mitigate these costs, consumer affordability issues in the foodservice and household segments continue to pressure certain categories like cereal and fresh protein. Management remains focused on debt reduction, targeting a paydown of $400 million to $500 million for the year.
