Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A. – Third Quarter 2024 Results

Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A. (NYSE: AMBP) today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

​

​

​

​

Oliver Graham, CEO of Ardagh Metal Packaging (AMP), said:

“Our strong business performance in the quarter delivered double-digit Adjusted EBITDA growth, ahead of guidance. Growth in the quarter was driven by favorable volume/mix, higher input cost recovery and lower operating costs. We are encouraged by the resilience in beverage consumption trends across our markets during the quarter and we expect that the beverage can will continue to outperform other packaging types - supported by customer innovation and the can’s positive credentials regarding circularity and decarbonisation. Our outperformance through the year versus initial expectations, particularly in Europe, gives us the confidence to further improve our full year guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to $650-660 million.”

●

Global beverage can shipments grew by 2% in the quarter with growth of 1% in the Americas and 2% in Europe. North America grew by 1%, versus a strong prior year comparable (+20%) - which benefited from the ramp-up of new capacity and strong growth in the energy drinks category, which softened in the current year. Brazil volumes also grew by 1% in the quarter, showing sequential improvement, but lagging a strong market due to customer and filling location mix effects.

●	Adjusted EBITDA of $196 million for the quarter was ahead of guidance and represents a 15% increase versus the prior year quarter, with a strong performance in both segments.

●	In the Americas Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter increased by 13% to $117 million driven by favorable volume/mix and lower operating costs.

●	In Europe Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter increased by 18% to $79 million, principally due to stronger input cost recovery and favorable volume/mix, partly offset by higher operating costs.

●	Strong liquidity position of $0.7 billion at September 30, 2024. This reflects a solid cash performance in the quarter as well as the completion and subsequent drawdown of the $300 million senior secured term loan facility, which is neutral to net leverage.

●	Net cash inflows in the fourth quarter are expected to drive further deleveraging and are expected to result in total liquidity at end 2024 of approximately $1 billion. Supportive debt maturity profile with no bonds maturing before June 2027.

●	Growth capex to reduce to below $100 million in 2024, with a further reduction anticipated in 2025.

●	Regular quarterly ordinary dividend of 10c announced. No change to capital allocation priorities.

●	2024 Adjusted EBITDA guidance improved: Full year shipments growth of 2-3% and Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $650-660 million (compared to previous Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $640-660 million).

●	Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $142-152 million. This compares with Q4 2023 Adjusted EBITDA of $148 million ($151 million at constant currency), which included a strong double-digit shipments performance in the Americas.
