Magnera Reports First Quarter Results

globenewswire.com
MAGN Magnera reported strong first quarter results that met expectations and reaffirmed full-year guidance. The company highlighted debt reduction and strategic priorities focused on cost optimization, portfolio differentiation, and commercial excellence. While net sales and adjusted EBITDA increased, driven partly by a merger, there were also challenges like decreased selling prices and organic volume declines in certain segments due to competitive pressures and market softness.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

First Quarter Highlights

Curt Begle, Magnera’s CEO, commented: “Magnera delivered a strong first quarter that met our expectations and reinforces our full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow guidance. These results reflect the continued focus and execution of our teams across the organization.

Capital allocation remains disciplined and aligned with our commitment to debt reduction. During the quarter, we made $27 million in debt payments demonstrating our confidence in our cash flow generation.

Looking ahead, our global teams remain focused on driving long-term shareholder value through decisive actions centered on our strategic pillars of cost optimization, portfolio differentiation, and commercial excellence. We believe these priorities position Magnera well to deliver sustainable performance and continued value creation.”

Key Financials

Consolidated Overview

The net sales increase of 13% included revenue from the merger of $112 million and favorable foreign currency changes of $36 million that were partially offset by a $52 million decrease in selling prices primarily due to the pass-through of lower raw material costs and a 1% organic volume decline which was attributed to strength in our consumer solutions product categories being more than offset by competitive pressures in South America and general market softness in Europe.

The adjusted EBITDA increase of 11% was primarily due to the contribution from the merger of $8 million.

Americas

The net sales increase in the Americas segment included a 2% organic volume growth, revenue from the merger of $42 million and favorable foreign currency changes of $8 million that were partially offset by a $38 million decrease in selling prices primarily due to the pass-through of lower raw material costs and competitive pressures from imports in South America.

The adjusted EBITDA increase included a contribution from the merger of $5 million and improved organic growth in North America partially offset by unfavorable impacts from price cost spread of $4 million.

Rest of World

The net sales increase in the Rest of World segment included revenue from the merger of $70 million and a $28 million favorable impact from foreign currency changes partially offset by a 5% organic volume decline which was primarily attributed to general market softness in Europe and a $14 million decrease in selling prices primarily due to the pass-through of lower raw material costs.

The adjusted EBITDA increase included a contribution from the merger of $3 million and favorable impacts from price cost spread of $4 million as the result of synergy realization and mix improvement.
