By GlobalDataSilgan Holdings president and CEO Adam Greenlee said: “We delivered third quarter 2021 adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.02, which was more than 30% above any other third quarter in Company history with the exception of the pandemic driven the third quarter of 2020. We were able to sustain performance near the prior year’s record level as demand for many of our products remains exceptionally high.
“Record volumes in our Dispensing and Specialty Closures and Metal Container segments and tremendous operating performance helped offset unprecedented inflation and continued supply chain and labour challenges, while strong year-to-date volumes in our Custom Container segment remain above pre-pandemic levels.”
The company’s net income for the nine months of 2021 was $274.0m or $2.47 per diluted share compared to $248.6m or $2.23 per diluted share in the same period last year.
Net sales for the same period increased 14.7% or $542.4m to $4.24bn.
