Pactiv Evergreen reports Q3 adjusted EPS 32c, consensus 11c

Reports Q3 revenue $1.38B vs. $1.61B last year. Jon Baksht, CFO of Pactiv Evergreen, added, “We continue to prioritize the strengthening of our balance sheet. Our ability to generate strong cash flows from operating activities and free cash flow underpins our commitment to reduce our outstanding borrowings and invest in future growth opportunities. Specifically, management set a target earlier this year to improve our Net Leverage Ratio1 to the low 4s by year end. I am pleased to share that we improved our Net Leverage Ratio1 to 4.2x as of September 30, 2023, delivering against our target and creating momentum heading into year end. In addition, we are focused on optimizing our working capital levels and are on track to deliver solid free cash flow for 2023.”
