Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On December 4, 2024, Greif, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release (the “Earnings Release”) announcing the financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended October 31, 2024. The full text of the Earnings Release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The Earnings Release includes various non-GAAP financial measures, including measures such as net income excluding the impact of certain adjustments, earnings per diluted Class A share excluding the impact of certain adjustments, consolidated adjusted EBITDA, adjusted free cash flow and net debt. Management of the Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate ongoing operations and believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors. The exclusion of the impact of the identified adjustments enable management and investors to perform meaningful comparisons of current and historical performance of the Company. Management of the Company also believes that the exclusion of the impact of the identified adjustments provides a stable platform on which to compare the historical performance of the Company and that investors desire this information.
The non-GAAP financial measures included in the Earnings Release should be read together with our financial results. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative or substitute for, and should not be considered superior to, our reported financial results. Accordingly, users of this financial information should not place undue reliance on the non-GAAP financial measures included in the Earnings Release.
Section 7 – Regulation FD
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
The information in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K of Greif, Inc. is being furnished in order to provide certain historical financial information of the Company in a revised presentation aligned with the Company’s new reportable segment structure described below.
The Company previously reported its financial results in three reportable segments: Global Industrial Packaging (“GIP”); Paper Packaging & Services; and Land Management. Beginning in the first day of the first fiscal quarter of 2025, the Company implemented changes to its reporting structure, moving to a material solution-based structure. The Company believes this structure will enable it to more efficiently utilize its robust scale and global network of facilities, align operations to capitalize on its deep subject matter expertise, enable further innovation and growth, and optimize cross-selling and margin expansion opportunities. This internal re-alignment has resulted in a change in the Company's reportable segments.
Starting with the first fiscal quarter of 2025, the Company will report its financial results in four reportable segments: Customized Polymer Solutions; Durable Metal Solutions; Sustainable Fiber Solutions; and Integrated Solutions. The products and services included in each of these reportable segments are as follows:
• Customized Polymer Solutions: Operations in the Customized Polymer Solutions reportable segment involve the production and sale of a comprehensive line of polymer based packaging products, such as plastic drums, rigid intermediate bulk containers and small plastics. The Company’s polymer-based packaging products and services are sold on a global basis to customers in industries such as chemicals, food and beverage, agricultural, pharmaceutical and mineral products, among others.
• Durable Metal Solutions: Operations in the Durable Metal Solutions reportable segment involve the production and sale of metal-based packaging products, including a wide variety of steel drums. The Company’s metal-based packaging products are sold on a global basis to customers in industries such as chemicals, petroleum, agriculture and paints and coatings, among others.
• Sustainable Fiber Solutions: Operations in the Sustainable Fiber Solutions reportable segment involve the production and sale of fiber-based packaging products, including fiber drums, containerboard, corrugated sheets, corrugated containers, tubes and cores and specialty partitions made from both containerboard, uncoated recycled board and coated recycled board. The Company's fiber-based packaging products are sold in North America in industries such as packaging, automotive, construction, food and beverage and building products. In addition, this reportable segment is involved in the management and sale of timber, timberland and special use properties in the southeastern United States.
• Integrated Solutions: Operations in the Integrated Solutions reportable segment involve the production and sale of complimentary packaging products, such as paints, linings and closure systems for industrial packaging products and related services, such as container life cycle management. In addition, this reportable segment is involved in the purchase and sale of recycled fiber and the production and sale of adhesives used in our paperboard products. These products and services are used internally by the Company and are also sold to external customers.
On each of March 1, 2024, June 7, 2024, September 3, 2024 and with the filing of this Current Report, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a Current Report on Form 8-K and furnished under Item 2.02, Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.2 thereto an earnings release of its financial results for the immediately preceding quarterly period (collectively, the “2024 Earnings Releases”).
Exhibit 99.2 to this Form 8-K is being furnished under Item 7.01 and presents certain historical financial information of the Company in respect of the 2024 Earnings Releases. As discussed above, beginning with the first fiscal quarter of 2025, the Company is reporting its financial results in four reportable segments by material solution, and the additional historical information being furnished presents such information in a manner that is aligned with the new reportable segment structure.
The information furnished in this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.2 thereto does not otherwise reflect activities or events occurring after the Company filed the 2024 Earnings Releases and does not modify or update the disclosures therein in any way other than to present certain historical financial information for the previous reportable segments as if the new segments existed during the Company's 2023 and 2024 fiscal years. The information furnished in this Item 7.01 in no way revises or restates previously filed financial information. Therefore, this Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.2 furnished hereunder should be read in conjunction with the 2024 Earnings Releases and the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended January 31, 2024, April 30, 2024 and July 31, 2024, and the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, all as filed with the SEC.

Build to Last Mission Progress
Recently completed our fourteenth wave NPS(6) survey, receiving feedback from nearly five thousand customers globally for a net score of 69, recognized as a world-class score within the manufacturing industry. At our upcoming Investor Day, we plan to further discuss the powerful correlation between NPS, an indicator of our Legendary Customer Service, and financial performance. We thank our customers for their continued feedback, which is critical in helping us achieve our vision to be the best performing customer service company in the world, and we are proud to continue to earn positive feedback from our customers throughout a difficult global operating environment.

Exhibit 99.1
Segment Results (all results compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 unless otherwise noted)
Net sales are impacted mainly by the volume of primary products(7) sold, selling prices, product mix and the impact of changes in foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar. The table below shows the percentage impact of each of these items on net sales for our primary products for the fourth quarter of 2024 as compared to the prior year quarter for the business segments with manufacturing operations. Net sales from completed acquisitions of Reliance Products Ltd. (“Reliance”) and Ipackchem Group SAS ("Ipackchem") primary products are not included in the table below, but will be included in their respective segments starting in the fiscal first quarter of 2025 for Reliance and fiscal third quarter of 2025 for Ipackchem.
| Net Sales Impact - Primary Products | Global Industrial Packaging | Paper Packaging &<br>Services | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Currency Translation | — | % | — | % |
| Volume | 3.7 | % | 0.7 | % |
| Selling Prices and Product Mix | 0.4 | % | 5.0 | % |
| Total Impact of Primary Products | 4.1 | % | 5.7 | % |
Global Industrial Packaging
Net sales increased by $65.9 million to $786.9 million primarily due to contributions from recent acquisitions and higher volumes.
Gross profit increased by $12.6 million to $167.0 million due to the same factors that impacted net sales, partially offset by higher raw material, labor and manufacturing costs.
Operating profit decreased by $0.1 million to $75.0 million primarily due to higher SG&A expenses from recent acquisitions, offset by the same factors that impacted gross profit. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $4.0 million to $109.4 million primarily due to the same factors that impacted gross profit, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses from recent acquisitions.
Paper Packaging & Services
Net sales increased by $42.9 million to $624.5 million primarily due to higher average selling prices as a result of higher published containerboard and boxboard prices.
Gross profit decreased by $0.1 million to $118.7 million primarily due to higher raw material and labor costs, offset by the same factors that impacted net sales.
Operating profit increased by $13.4 million to $48.7 million primarily due to lower non-cash impairment charges and restructuring charges related to optimizing and rationalizing operations in the prior year, partially offset by the same factors that impacted gross profit and higher SG&A expenses related to higher health, medical, incentive and pension expenses. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $8.4 million to $85.3 million primarily due to the same factors that impacted gross profit and higher SG&A expenses related to higher health, medical, incentive and pension expenses.
Tax Summary
During the fourth quarter, we recorded an income tax rate of 21.8 percent and a tax rate excluding the impact of adjustments of 21.9 percent. Note that the application of accounting for income taxes often causes fluctuations in our quarterly effective tax rates. For the full year, we recorded an income tax rate of 10.6 percent and a tax rate excluding the impact of adjustments of 7.4 percent.
Dividend Summary
On December 3, 2024, the Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.54 per share of Class A Common Stock and $0.80 per share of Class B Common Stock. Dividends are payable on January 1, 2025, to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 16, 2024.
(7) Primary products are manufactured steel, plastic and fibre drums; new and reconditioned intermediate bulk containers; jerrycans and other small plastics; linerboard, containerboard, corrugated sheets and corrugated containers; and boxboard and tube and core products.
Exhibit 99.1
Company Outlook
Our markets have now experienced a multi-year period of industrial contraction, and we have not identified any compelling demand inflection on the horizon, despite slightly improved year over year volumes. While we believe we are well positioned for an eventual recovery of the industrial economy, at this time we believe it is appropriate to provide only low-end guidance based on the continuation of demand trends reflected in the past year, current price/cost factors in Paper Packaging and Services, and other identifiable discrete items which we will discuss during our fourth quarter earnings release call. Call-in details are provided below.
| (in millions, except per share amounts) | Fiscal 2025 Low-End Guidance Estimate |
|---|---|
| Adjusted EBITDA | $675 |
| Adjusted free cash flow | $225 |
Note: Fiscal 2025 net income guidance, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA, is not provided in this release due to the potential for one or more of the following, the timing and magnitude of which we are unable to reliably forecast: gains or losses on the disposal of businesses or properties, plants and equipment, net; non-cash asset impairment charges due to unanticipated changes in the business; restructuring-related activities; acquisition and integration related costs; and ongoing initiatives under our Build to Last strategy. No reconciliation of the 2025 low-end guidance estimate of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes restructuring charges, acquisition and integration related costs, non-cash asset impairment charges, and (gain) loss on the disposal of properties, plants and equipment, (gain) loss on the disposal of businesses, net, and other costs, is included in this release because, due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the excluded information, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible, we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, without unreasonable efforts. A reconciliation of 2025 low-end guidance estimate of adjusted free cash flow to fiscal 2025 forecasted net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is included in this release.

See the reconciliations in the table of Segment EBITDA.
(9) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income, plus interest expense, net, plus income tax (benefit) expense, plus depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, plus acquisition and integration related costs, plus restructuring charges, plus non-cash asset impairment charges, plus non-cash pension settlement charges, plus gain (loss) on disposal of properties, plants and equipment, (gain) loss on disposal of businesses, net, plus other costs.

(2) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income, plus interest expense, net, plus income tax (benefit) expense, plus other (income) expense, net, plus depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, plus acquisition and integration related costs, plus restructuring charges, plus non-cash asset impairment charges, plus non-cash pension settlement charges, plus (gain) loss on disposal of properties, plants and equipment, plus (gain) loss on disposal of businesses, net, plus other costs. However, because the Company does not calculate net income by segment, this table calculates adjusted EBITDA by segment with reference to operating profit by segment, which, as demonstrated in the table of consolidated adjusted EBITDA, is another method to achieve the same result.
The following table presents net sales by reportable segments and geographic operating segments, depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses by reportable segments, and capital expenditures by reportable segments for fiscal years 2024 and 2023, presented under the new reportable segment structure discussed in the Form 8-K from the original presentation in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2024 earnings release.
