Verallia CEO Patrice Lucas said: “These excellent third-quarter results follow on from a strong first half.

“Revenue growth remained high despite the slight expected decline in volumes due to less available capacity.

“Adjusted EBITDA also continued to grow thanks to a positive inflation spread over the period, the improved operational efficiency that resulted from our Performance Action Plan, and unprecedented momentum across Latin America.”

In response to higher year-end visibility and strong third-quarter results, Verallia has increased its adjusted EBITDA target for FY22 to more than €820m, compared with its previous expectation of €750–800m.

The company plans to start lighting its new furnace in Jacutinga, Brazil, on 9 November.

Earlier this year, Verallia reported a 24% increase in revenue to €750m for the first quarter (Q1) of FY22.

The company suspended production at its facility in Zorya, Ukraine, in March this year following Russia’s invasion.
