- Berry expects organic volume growth to sequentially improve and expects low-single digit organic volume growth in the second half of the year.
- The Company expects to continue to opportunistically repurchase shares throughout the second half of its fiscal year given the attractive return opportunity at prevailing prices.
- Berry will continue to focus on driving organic growth, supplemented by inorganic opportunities, while providing more consistent return of capital to create maximum value for shareholders.
Challenges Ahead
- The updated range assumes lower operating EBITDA, primarily due to the timing lag of recovering higher costs and foreign currency headwind from the strengthening US dollar.
