Ardagh Metal Packaging has begun 2025 with better-than-expected results, highlighted by a global increase of over 6% in beverage can shipments and a 16% improvement in its adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization), which reached $155 million. These solid results have led the company to revise its forecasts upward for the rest of the year.

The company’s CEO, Oliver Graham, emphasized the strength of the business despite the uncertain economic environment. He attributed the good performance to the growing preference for sustainable packaging and the smooth operation of its activities in strategic markets.

North America has been the main driver of growth, with an 8% increase in shipments, favored by strong demand in non-alcoholic beverages and the recovery of the energy drinks segment. On the other hand, Brazil has shown positive development, with a 4% increase in volumes, above the regional average.

Europe, for its part, reported a 5% growth in shipments, which translated into a 14% increase in adjusted EBITDA ($49 million), supported by improvements in cost recovery and greater operational efficiency.
