CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sealed Air Corporation (NYSE: SEE) announced second quarter 2025 financial results and business updates.
"While our Protective turnaround will be non-linear, this quarter is a mark of progress as we delivered our best volume performance since the fourth quarter of 2021 and our industrial portfolio inflected to volume growth," said Dustin Semach, Sealed Air's President and CEO. "Market pressures are accelerating, primarily in North America, as the impact of global trade policies weigh on economic growth and consumer spending patterns are beginning to shift. More importantly, we are relentlessly focused on controlling the controllables by putting our customers first, winning new business, and executing on our transformation."
"Our second quarter results exceeded our expectations across all metrics, despite the increasing market headwinds. We are accelerating our productivity initiatives to improve operating leverage in the business and offset any further volume weakness in the second half," said Roni Johnson, Interim CFO. "We are being prudent and maintaining our full year guidance range, as we will have more visibility throughout the third quarter on the impact of shifting global trade policies and consumer buying patterns."

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights
Net sales of $1.34 billion decreased less than 1% as reported, with the Food segment flat and the Protective segment down 3% in the quarter. Net sales decreased $17 million, or 1%, on a constant currency basis. Volumes decreased by $23 million, or 2%. Price increased by $6 million, or less than 1% in the quarter.
Income tax expense was $37 million, or an effective tax rate of 28.3% in the quarter. This compares to an income tax expense of $38 million, or an effective tax rate of 27.8%, in the prior year. The Adjusted Tax Rate was 24.4% in the quarter, as compared to 25.5% in the prior year.
Net earnings were $94 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, as compared to net earnings of $98 million, or $0.67 per diluted share in the prior year. The current year results were unfavorably impacted by $38 million of Special Items expense compared to $23 million of Special Items expense in the prior year. The increase in Special Items expense was due to higher professional services and other charges that are considered one-time or infrequent and higher costs in connection with the cost take-out to grow program ("CTO2Grow Program").
Adjusted EBITDA was $293 million, or 21.9% of net sales, as compared to $285 million, or 21.2% in the prior year. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower operating costs driven by productivity benefits including savings from the CTO2Grow Program, partially offset by unfavorable net price realization, lower volume and unfavorable impacts from currency translation.
Adjusted earnings per diluted share increased 7% to $0.89, from $0.83 in the prior year, primarily due to higher Adjusted EBITDA and lower interest expense.
Business Segment Highlights
Second quarter net sales in Food were $896 million, or flat as reported. Currency fluctuations had a negligible impact. Price had a favorable impact of $14 million, or 2%. Volumes decreased $13 million, or 1%, primarily resulting from softness in the North American market. Adjusted EBITDA of $210 million, or 23.4% of net sales, increased 3% from $205 million, or 22.9% of net sales in the prior year. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was due to lower operating costs driven by productivity benefits, including the CTO2Grow Program, slightly favorable net price realization, partially offset by lower volume.
Second quarter net sales in Protective were $439 million, a decrease of 3% as reported. Currency fluctuations had a favorable impact of $6 million, or 1%. On a constant currency basis, net sales decreased $18 million, or 4%. Volumes decreased $10 million, or 2%, primarily resulting from the remaining impact of prior year customer churn in the fulfillment portfolio, partially offset by growth in the industrial portfolio. Price had an unfavorable impact of $8 million, or 2%. Adjusted EBITDA of $78 million, or 17.8% of net sales, decreased approximately 5% from $82 million, or 18.1% of net sales in the prior year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to unfavorable net price realization, partially offset by lower operating costs driven by productivity benefits, including the CTO2Grow Program.
Cash Flow and Net Debt
Cash flow from operating activities during the first six months of 2025 was a source of $168 million, as compared to a source of $313 million during the prior year period. The decrease in cash flow from operating activities primarily reflects higher incentive compensation and tax payments made in 2025, compared to the prior year period.
Capital expenditures in the first six months of 2025 were $87 million, as compared to $106 million during the prior year period. Free Cash Flow, defined as net cash from operating activities less capital expenditures, was a source of $81 million for the first six months of 2025, as compared to a source of $207 million during the prior year period.
Dividend payments for the first six months of both 2025 and 2024 were $60 million.
Total debt was $4.3 billion as of June 30, 2025 and $4.4 billion as of December 31, 2024. Net Debt, defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents, was $4.0 billion as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, Sealed Air had approximately $1.2 billion of available liquidity comprised of $354 million of cash and $830 million of available and unused lines of credit under our committed credit facilities. The net leverage ratio, defined as net debt divided by last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA, was 3.6x as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
2025 Full Year Outlook
(in $ millions except EPS) | Range | Constant currency ?% |
Net Sales | $5,100 to $5,500 | (6)% to 2% |
Adjusted EBITDA | $1,075 to $1,175 | (3)% to 6% |
Adjusted EPS | $2.90 to $3.30 | (7)% to 6% |
Free Cash Flow | $350 to $450 |
