SIG delivered total revenue of €3.23bn in FY23, marking an 18.5% increase on a constant currency basis from €2.77bn in FY22.
This revenue growth was attributed to strong regional performances, particularly in the company’s Americas and Europe segments, which saw increases of 29.8% and 16.9% (reported currency), respectively.
SIG’s earnings before interest and taxes also rose to €449.1m in FY23, up from €114.8m in FY22.
Its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) for the financial year was €861.3m, a significant improvement from €481.5m last year.
SIG CEO Samuel Sigrist said: “We are pleased with SIG’s strong revenue performance amid some softness in our end markets due to food price inflation impacting demand.
“We continue to identify and to realise cross-selling wins between our different substrates underpinning our strategy to offer a broader product portfolio to our food and beverage customers.”
Looking ahead to FY24, SIG forecasts a low end of the range of 4%-6% constant currency revenue growth and an adjusted EBITDA margin of the lower half of the range of 25%-26%.
In November last year, SIG opened a new Packaging Development Center at its packaging plants in Linnich, Germany.
