Verallia Adjusts Financial Forecasts for 2025
Verallia reports a decline in revenue in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the previous year, leading to a downward revision of financial forecasts for the year.
Financial Performance in Q3 2025
In the third quarter of 2025, Verallia recorded a revenue of 846 million euros, a decrease of 2.8% compared to Q3 2024. The adjusted EBITDA stands at 181 million euros, representing a margin of 21.3%, down from 24.1% a year earlier. For the first nine months of the year, the adjusted EBITDA totaled 531 million euros, with a margin of 20.7%.
Revised Forecasts for 2025
In response to a slowdown in demand in Q3, Verallia has revised its forecasts for 2025, with adjusted EBITDA now expected to be around 700 million euros, compared to the previously announced 800 million euros. Free cash flow has also been revised to 150 million euros, down from more than 200 million euros previously. The company remains focused on controlling expenses and improving cash flow.
Strategic Developments and Challenges
The group has experienced the effects of decreased demand in August and September. Strategically, Verallia has strengthened its shareholder structure following the takeover bid by BWGI and has received approval from the SBTi for its Net Zero 2040 trajectory. A new oxy-fuel furnace was inaugurated in Brazil, demonstrating Verallia's commitment to technological innovation and environmental sustainability.
