Berry Global Group, Inc. (NYSE:BERY), a leading supplier of sustainable packaging solutions for consumer goods and industrial products, today reported its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2022 results, referred to in the following as the September 2022 quarter and fiscal 2022.

Berry’s Chairman and CEO Tom Salmon said, “Our businesses delivered fiscal year record results, including 10% revenue growth and 7% adjusted earnings per share growth, coming off of another record year in fiscal 2021. Over the past few years we have seen persistent inflation and have taken proactive pricing actions while investing in cost reduction efforts. I am also proud of the teams’ efforts enabling us to generate another year of substantial free cash flow, ending the year with $876 million, allowing us to return $709 million to shareholders via share repurchases taking in 9% of our total shares outstanding. Additionally, our Board of Directors’ authorization of both a new quarterly cash dividend and increasing our share repurchase authorization underscores our commitment to enhancing long-term shareholder value. We believe our shares are significantly undervalued and the increased authorization reflects our confidence in the outlook of our business, our long-term strategy, and the strength of our operating model and cash flows.

“In both the near- and long-term, we remain focused on driving consistent, dependable, and sustainable growth, supported by our robust free cash flow and accompanied by our large-scale and diverse portfolio. Innovation and sustainability are increasingly embedded in everything we do and we continue to believe this represents a great opportunity for both growth and differentiation. As we navigate through fiscal 2023, we will continue our efforts on inflation recovery while taking the necessary actions to drive cost benefits through automation and asset optimization across our global footprint.”

Intertape Polymer Group Reports 2021 Second Quarter Results

Second Quarter 2021 Highlights (as compared to second quarter 2020): • Revenue increased 40.7% to $376.7 million primarily due to organic growth in certain film, woven, and tape products, including continued strength in products with significant e-commerce end-market exposure such as water-activated tape and dispensing machines. • Gross margin increased to 23.7% from 21.3% primarily due to a favourable product volume/mix and an increase in the spread between selling prices and combined raw material and freight costs. • Net earnings attributable to the Company shareholders decreased $0.1 million to $14.3 million primarily due to (i) an increase in finance costs mainly due to the 2018 Senior Unsecured Notes Redemption Charges(2) and the non-recurrence of a gain in the second quarter of 2020 resulting from a fair value adjustment to the Company's contingent consideration related to the Nortech Acquisition(3) and (ii) an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses mainly due to increases in both variable and share-based compensation. The unfavourable impacts were largely offset by an increase in gross profit. • Free cash flows(1) decreased by $28.8 million to $6.4 million primarily due to the decrease in cash flows from operating activities and an increase in capital expenditures as compared to minimal capital expenditures in 2020 as a precautionary measure given market uncertainty caused by COVID-19.
