Coveris Reports Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results
- In constant currency, flat sales
- Realized $4 million in productivity gains during the quarter
- Extended maturity on term loan and North American revolver
- Positive volume growth in continental Europe
CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Coveris Holdings S.A. reported net sales of $638 million for the second
quarter of 2017 versus $669 million in the second quarter of 2016.
Excluding a $31 million impact of currency, the second quarter sales
were flat compared with the same quarter in the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $70 million, compared to $91 million
for the same period in the prior year. Currency accounted for
approximately $5 million of the decline. The decline is primarily
related to softer volumes and product mix, particularly in the Company’s
flexibles business in the US and UK.
“In the second quarter, we took several steps to address the
underperforming areas of Coveris,” said David Mezzanotte, Chairman and
Interim Chief Executive Officer. “These steps included organizational
changes as well as commercial and operational initiatives designed to
strengthen our sales pipelines and lower manufacturing costs. We expect
to see the benefits from these changes in the second half of the year.”
Please see our Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation attached to this press
release. Additional financial information may be found on www.coveris.com
