Graphic Packaging (GPK) Reports In-Line Q2 EPS

Before the open, Graphic Packaging (NYSE: GPK) reported Q2 EPS of $0.19, in-line with the analyst estimate of $0.19. Revenue for the quarter came in at $1.06 billion versus the consensus estimate of $1.05 billion.

"We delivered on our expectations despite continued soft demand in key end-markets," said Chairman and CEO David Scheible. "Although market volumes remain challenging, we continue to post strong results as Adjusted EBITDA margin was up 110 basis points over last year to 18.2%. The increase was driven by our ongoing asset optimization strategies, acquisition integration and strong operating performance. Our global supply chain has been extremely efficient as we produced and sold more net tons through our integrated system versus second quarter last year. Our strong performance has generated over $40 million in productivity benefits through the first six months of the year."

Share are flat on the session.
