DELAWARE , Ohio , Aug. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Greif, Inc. (NYSE: GEF, GEF.B), a global leader in industrial packaging products and services, today announced third quarter 2022 results.
Third Quarter Financial Highlights include (all results compared to the third quarter of 2021 unless otherwise noted):
"Our team delivered an outstanding third quarter financial result, remaining steadfast and execution-focused during a time of macroeconomic uncertainty," said Ole Rosgaard , President and Chief Executive Officer. "This commitment has led to a rock-solid balance sheet, record free cash flow generation, and EBITDA growth. Our team has done an outstanding job transforming our business, as evidenced by volume growth compared to pre-pandemic 2019 volume levels, despite sequential declines from higher volumes last year. In addition to financial success, our teams have continued to deliver Legendary Customer Service, and made notable progress to further foster Thriving Communities at Greif and Protect Our Future through industry-leading sustainability practice."
Build to Last Mission Progress
Building upon our Investor Day discussion, in addition to the quarterly releases which support our Build to Last mission of Ensuring Financial Strength, we will continue to update the investment community quarterly regarding key progress on our additional three Build to Last missions.
Customer satisfaction surveys are a key component of our mission to deliver Legendary Customer Service. Our long-term objective is a trailing twelve-month CSI(6) score of 95.0 or greater. Our consolidated CSI score was 94.3 at the end of the third quarter 2022. CSI for the Global Industrial Packaging segment was 94.1. CSI for the Paper Packaging & Services segment was 95.1.
Towards our mission of Creating Thriving Communities, during the third quarter, we have complemented our continuing efforts by signing the Columbus Commitment, a pledge to close the wage gap and achieve gender pay equity at Greif.
Lastly, as we continue to make steps to Protect Our Future, during the third quarter, we advanced our progress toward setting 2030 ESG targets, which will be announced during our fourth quarter 2022.
Adjustments that are excluded from net income before adjustments and from earnings per diluted Class A share before adjustments are restructuring charges, integration related costs, non-cash asset impairment charges, non-cash pension settlement charges, incremental COVID-19 costs, net, (gain) loss on disposal of properties, plants, equipment and businesses, net.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income, plus interest expense, net, plus income tax expense, plus depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, plus restructuring charges, plus integration related costs, plus non-cash asset impairment charges, plus non-cash pension settlement charges, plus incremental COVID-19 costs, net, plus (gain) loss on disposal of properties, plants, equipment and businesses, net.
Adjusted free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, less cash paid for purchases of properties, plants and equipment, plus cash paid for integration related costs, plus cash paid for incremental COVID-19 costs, net, plus cash paid for integration related Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems.
Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents.
Leverage ratio for the periods indicated is defined as net debt divided by trailing twelve month EBITDA, each as calculated under the terms of the Company's Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 1, 2022, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2022 (the "2022 Credit Agreement").
Customer satisfaction index (CSI) tracks a variety of internal metrics designed to enhance the customer experience in dealing with Greif.
Note: A reconciliation of the differences between all non-GAAP financial measures used in this release with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the financial schedules that are a part of this release. These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement and should be read together with our financial results. They should not be considered an alternative or substitute for, and should not be considered superior to, our reported financial results. Accordingly, users of this financial information should not place undue reliance on these non-GAAP financial measures.
Segment Results (all results compared to the third quarter of 2021 unless otherwise noted)
Net sales are impacted mainly by the volume of primary products(7) sold, selling prices, product mix and the impact of changes in foreign currencies against the U.S. Dollar. The table below shows the percentage impact of each of these items on net sales for our primary products for the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the prior year quarter for the business segments with manufacturing operations.
Net Sales Impact - Primary Products
Selling Prices and Product Mix
Total Impact of Primary Products
Net sales decreased by $1.1 million to $906.7 million primarily due to approximately $82 .0 million of prior year net sales attributable to the Flexibles Products & Services business that was sold on April 1, 2022 , negative foreign currency translation impacts of $69.7 million and lower volumes, offset by higher average selling prices.
Gross profit decreased by $21.7 million to $177.7 million . The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the same factors that impacted net sales and higher raw material costs, partially offset by lower labor costs.
Operating profit decreased by $14.8 million to $107.2 million primarily due to the same factors that impacted gross profit, partially offset by lower SG&A expenses. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $29.1 million to $117.1 million primarily due to the same factors that impacted operating profit.
Net sales increased by $131.4 million to $710.2 million primarily due to higher published containerboard and boxboard prices, partially offset by lower volumes.
Gross profit increased by $49.3 million to $167.3 million . The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the same factors that impacted net sales, partially offset by higher raw material, transportation, labor and utility costs.
Operating profit increased by $49.2 million to $96.7 million primarily due to the same factors that impacted gross profit. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $41.9 million to $131.8 million primarily due to the same factors that impacted operating profit, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses.
During the third quarter, we recorded an income tax rate of 21.6 percent and a tax rate excluding the impact of adjustments of 21.5 percent. Note that the application of FIN 18 frequently causes fluctuations in our quarterly effective tax rates. For fiscal 2022, we expect our tax rate to range between 27.0 and 31.0 percent and our tax rate excluding adjustments to range between 22.0 and 25.0 percent.
On August 30, 2022 , the Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.50 per share of Class A Common Stock and $0.75 per share of Class B Common Stock. Dividends are payable on October 1, 2022 , to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 16, 2022 .
Primary products are manufactured steel, plastic and fibre drums; new and reconditioned intermediate bulk containers; linerboard, containerboard, corrugated sheets and corrugated containers; and boxboard and tube and core products.
(in millions, except per share amounts)
Fiscal 2022 Outlook Reported at Q3
Class A earnings per share before adjustments
Note: Fiscal 2022 Class A earnings per share guidance on a GAAP basis is not provided in this release due to the potential for one or more of the following, the timing and magnitude of which we are unable to reliably forecast: restructuring-related activities; integration related costs; non-cash pension settlement charges; non-cash asset impairment charges due to unanticipated changes in the business; gains or losses on the disposal of businesses or properties, plants and equipment, net and the income tax effects of these items and other income tax-related events. No reconciliation of the fiscal 2022 Class A earnings per share before adjustments guidance, a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes restructuring charges, integration costs, non-cash asset impairment charges, non-cash pension settlement charges, (gain) loss on the disposal of properties, plants, equipment and businesses, net, is included in this release because, due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the excluded information, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible, we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable efforts. A reconciliation of 2022 adjusted free cash flow guidance to forecasted net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is included in this release.
