Sustainable packaging solution provider Ardagh Group has announced $2.35bn in revenue for the second quarter (Q2) of financial year 2024 (FY24), compared to $2.446bn in the same period of the previous year.  

The company’s loss before tax was $175m for the quarter, compared to the $100m loss reported in Q2 FY23.  

Its overall loss for the period was $205m against a loss of $97 in Q2 FY23. 

The group's adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) remained stable at $383m in Q2 FY24. 

Ardagh Metal Packaging (AMP)-Europe's revenue increased by 2% to $566m in the three months ended 30 June 2024, compared with $555m in Q2 FY23. 

This growth was attributed to favourable volume and mix effects and a positive impact from foreign currency translation.  

However, AMP Americas saw a slight decline in revenue to end with $693m, marking a 1% decline from $700m in the same period last year. 

Ardagh Glass Packaging (AGP)-Europe & Africa registered $696m in revenue over the quarter, decreasing 9% from $766m in Q2 FY23. 

Meanwhile, revenue of AGP-North America decreased by 7% to $395m in Q2 FY24 compared with $425m in the prior year quarter. 

The decline was largely a result of lower volume and mix effects, although this was somewhat mitigated by the pass-through of higher input costs. 

In the year to date, Ardagh Group's revenue decreased to $4.52bn from $4.70bn in the same period in FY23.

The company registered a loss for the period of $341m, compared to a loss of $144m in the first half of FY23. 

Recently, AGP-North America expanded its American-made bottles with the launch of a new series of craft beverage bottles.
