The company reported a positive third quarter for 2024, with a notable growth in net sales and gross profit compared to the previous year. Despite facing pricing pressures, Karat Packaging has seen increased volume and improved margins, alongside a strategic expansion in the supermarket chain sector.
Key financial highlights included a 6.9% increase in net sales to $112.8 million and an 11.7% rise in gross profit to $43.5 million. However, the net income margin slightly decreased, and adjusted EBITDA saw a modest decline.
