Graphic Packaging Holding Company reported Q1 2026 results with net sales of $2,156 million, up 2% from $2,120 million a year earlier, driven by higher volumes, innovation sales and favorable foreign exchange, partly offset by lower pricing.

The company recorded $71 million in business combinations, exit and other special charges, including $40 million to discontinue automated roll warehouse projects, $18 million for cost and production optimization (mainly severance), and $13 million of impairment on held-for-sale assets, leading to a net loss of $43 million versus net income of $127 million in Q1 2025.
