Magnera Corporation (NYSE: MAGN) reports $857M Q3 sales, $20M loss
Magnera Corporation reported third quarter 2026 results with net sales of $857 million, up 2% from the prior-year quarter, and adjusted EBITDA of $99 million, 9% higher. The company recorded a net loss of $20 million, or $0.56 per share, compared with a loss of $18 million a year earlier.
The net sales increase included a favorable foreign currency impact of $21 million and a 1% organic volume improvement, partly offset by an $8 million decrease in selling prices driven by product mix and raw material pass-through. In the Americas, net sales benefited from $10 million of positive currency and 1% volume growth, while an $11 million favorable price-cost spread, supported by Project CORE and merger synergies, lifted adjusted EBITDA. In the Rest of World segment, higher prices and $11 million favorable currency were offset by inflation, timing of material pass-throughs and higher selling, general and administrative costs, leading to a modest adjusted EBITDA decline.
For the first three quarters of 2026, net sales were $2,445 million and adjusted EBITDA was $282 million, compared with $2,365 million and $264 million in 2025, with a net loss of $72 million versus $119 million. Net cash from operating activities was $76 million, producing free cash flow of $32 million after $44 million of capital spending. At June 27, 2026, Magnera held $280 million of cash, $1,901 million of debt and $1,017 million of stockholders’ equity.

Curt Begle, Magnera’s CEO, commented: “We delivered a record third quarter led by organic volume growth, combined with the savings benefits of synergy
initiatives and Project Core. In addition, our commercial team executed the disciplined actions required to effectively manage the significant spike in inflationary costs of certain raw materials.
As we continue to navigate a dynamic macro-economic environment, we remain focused on executing our strategic objectives and delivering dependable
financial results. Consistent with that commitment, we are reaffirming our full-year free cash flow outlook, while holding to the lower end of our adjusted EBITDA guidance range.”

Supplemental financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These
non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to operating or net income or cash flows from operating activities, in each case determined in accordance with GAAP. Comparable basis measures exclude the
impact of currency translation effects and acquisitions. These non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently by other companies, including other companies in our industry, limiting their usefulness as comparative
measures. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures are useful to our investors because they allow for a better period-over-period comparison of operating results by removing the impact of
items that, in management’s view, do not reflect our core operating performance. We define “free cash flow” as cash flow from operating activities less net additions to property, plant, and equipment. We believe free cash flow is
useful to an investor in evaluating our liquidity because free cash flow and similar measures are widely used by investors, securities analysts, and other interested parties in our industry to measure a company’s liquidity. We
believe free cash flow is also useful to an investor in evaluating our liquidity as it can assist in assessing a company’s ability to fund its growth through its generation of cash and as pre-merger cash flow is not indicative of
our current structure and operations.
|
|
We also use Adjusted EBITDA and comparable basis measures, among other measures, to evaluate
management performance and in determining performance-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure widely used by investors, securities analysts, and other interested parties in our
industry to measure a company’s performance. We also believe these measures are useful to an investor in evaluating our performance without regard to revenue and expense recognition, which can vary depending upon accounting
methods.
