Mativ delivered solid second-quarter results with a slight increase in sales and a 1% rise in Adjusted EBITDA year-over-year. The company achieved its second-highest cash flow quarter since the merger, driven by organic volume growth in the SAS segment and disciplined cost control.

Sales increased by 0.3% year-over-year to $525.4 million, with organic growth of 2.6%.
Adjusted EBITDA grew by 1% to $67.2 million, primarily due to lower SG&A expenses and favorable cost mix.
Free cash flow significantly increased by 33% to $48.9 million, marking the second-highest cash flow quarter since the merger.
The Sustainable & Adhesive Solutions (SAS) segment showed strong organic growth of 5.0%, contributing to overall performance.
Mativ's management is focused on generating strong year-over-year adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow improvement for the remainder of the year, supported by an ongoing strategic portfolio review to strengthen the balance sheet and reduce leverage.
