Company upgrades full-year guidance after Europe drives 14% adjusted EBITDA growth in Q2 2026.
Ardagh Metal Packaging raised its 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance to $775 million–$790 million, citing strong European performance. The upgrade follows a 14% year-over-year increase in adjusted EBITDA, driven by input cost recovery and volume growth in energy and soft drinks.
North America faced headwinds from contract resets and metal supply constraints, though conditions improved by quarter-end. Brazil’s results were pressured by competitive activity during the World Cup and maintenance downtime. The company now derives over 50% of volumes from specialty cans, targeting high-growth beverage segments.
Management highlighted a 30% capacity expansion since inception and network optimization in Europe to meet demand for high-volume can sizes.
