By GlobalDataVerallia CEO Patrice Lucas said: “These excellent third-quarter results follow on from a strong first half.
“Revenue growth remained high despite the slight expected decline in volumes due to less available capacity.
“Adjusted EBITDA also continued to grow thanks to a positive inflation spread over the period, the improved operational efficiency that resulted from our Performance Action Plan, and unprecedented momentum across Latin America.”
In response to higher year-end visibility and strong third-quarter results, Verallia has increased its adjusted EBITDA target for FY22 to more than €820m, compared with its previous expectation of €750–800m.
