NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instructions to Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.

The 2024 fiscal year of Greif, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) began on November 1, 2023 and ended on October 31, 2024. Any references to the 2024 fiscal year or to any quarter of that year, relates to the fiscal year or quarter, as the case may be, ended October 31, 2024, unless otherwise stated. The Company is changing its fiscal year, effective for the 2025 fiscal year. The 2025 fiscal year began on November 1, 2024 and will end on September 30, 2025, and accordingly, will consist of eleven months. The Company’s fourth fiscal quarter of 2025 will be the two-month period ending September 30, 2025. Thereafter, the Company’s fiscal year will begin on October 1 and end on September 30 of the following year.

The information filed herein reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2025 and the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2024, the interim condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss) and changes in shareholders’ equity for the three months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024 and the interim condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024 of the Company. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Greif, Inc., all wholly-owned and consolidated subsidiaries and investments in limited liability companies, partnerships and joint ventures in which it has controlling influence or is the primary beneficiary. Non-majority owned entities include investments in limited liability companies, partnerships and joint ventures in which the Company does not have controlling interest and are accounted for using either the equity or cost method, as appropriate.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended October 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”).

Recast of Certain Prior Period Information

In December 2024, the Company announced changes to its reporting structure, moving to a material solution-based structure. The Company believes this structure will enable the Company to more efficiently utilize its robust scale and global network of facilities, align operations to capitalize on its deep subject matter expertise, enable further innovation and growth, and optimize cross-selling and margin expansion opportunities. This internal re-alignment has resulted in a change in the Company’s reportable segments. Prior period segment information for the 2024 fiscal year has been recast to conform to the way the Company internally manages and monitors its business during the 2025 fiscal year.

The recast of prior period information had no impact on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated balance sheets, interim condensed consolidated statements of income, interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), interim condensed consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and the interim condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

There have been no new accounting standards adopted since the filing of the 2024 Form 10-K that have significance, or potential significance, to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Tax Disclosures,” which is intended to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The effective date for the Company to adopt this ASU is for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2025. The

Table of Content

Company is in the process of determining the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flow and disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The effective date for the Company to adopt this ASU is for the fiscal year and interim periods beginning November 1, 2024 and October 1, 2025 respectively. The Company is in the process of determining the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flow and disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which is intended to improve disclosures related to the Company’s certain income statement expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The effective date for the Company to adopt this ASU is for the fiscal year and interim periods beginning October 1, 2027 and October 1, 2028 respectively. The Company is in the process of determining the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flow and disclosures.

NOTE 2 — ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

2024 Acquisitions

Ipackchem Acquisition

The Company acquired Ipackchem Group SAS (“Ipackchem”) on March 26, 2024 (the “Ipackchem Acquisition”). Ipackchem is a global market leader in the production of high-performance plastic packaging, including premium barrier and non-barrier jerrycans and other small plastic containers. The total purchase price for this acquisition was $582.1 million. The Company incurred transaction costs of $8.9 million to complete this acquisition.

Table of Content

The following table summarizes the consideration transferred to acquire Ipackchem and the preliminary valuation of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:


(in millions)	Amounts Recognized as of the Acquisition Date		Measurement Period Adjustments		Amount Recognized as of Acquisition Date (as Adjusted)
Fair value of consideration transferred
Cash consideration	$	582.1	$	—	$	582.1

Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed

Other long-term assets	1.0		—		1.0
Properties, plants and equipment	91.5		(2.9)		88.6
Total assets acquired	454.5		2.5		457.0

Accounts payable	(17.2)		—		(17.2)

Short-term borrowings	(26.2)		—		(26.2)
Other current liabilities	(13.2)		0.1		(13.1)

Operating lease liabilities	(14.2)		(3.3)		(17.5)
Finance lease liabilities	(10.0)		(0.5)		(10.5)
Long-term deferred tax liability	(62.1)		(0.5)		(62.6)
Other long-term liabilities	(5.3)		(2.5)		(7.8)
Total liabilities assumed	(148.2)		(6.7)		(154.9)
Total identifiable net assets	$	306.3	(4.2)		302.1
Goodwill	$	275.8	$	4.2	$	280.0

The Company recognized goodwill related to this acquisition of $280.0 million. The goodwill recognized in this acquisition was attributable to the acquired assembled workforce, expected synergies and economies of scale, none of which qualify for recognition as a separate intangible asset. Ipackchem is reported within the Customized Polymer Solutions segment to which the goodwill was assigned. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The cost approach was used to determine the fair value for land, building, improvements and equipment. The cost approach measures the value by estimating the cost to acquire, or construct, comparable assets and adjusts for age and condition. The Company assigned to land use rights, building and improvements a useful life ranging from 1 year to 21 years and equipment a useful life ranging from 1 year to 10 years. Acquired property, plant and equipment are being depreciated over their estimated remaining useful lives on a straight-line basis.

The fair value for acquired customer relationship intangibles was determined as of the acquisition date based on estimates and judgments regarding expectations for the future after-tax cash flows arising from the revenue from customer relationships that existed on the acquisition date over their estimated lives, including the probability of expected future contract renewals and revenue, less a contributory assets charge, all of which is discounted to present value. The fair value for acquired developed technology was determined as of the acquisition date based on estimates and judgments regarding expectations for the future after-tax cash flows arising from the revenue from developed technology that existed on the acquisition date over their estimated lives. The fair values of the trademark intangible assets were determined utilizing the relief from royalty method, which is a form of the income approach. Under this method, a royalty rate based on observed market royalties is applied to projected revenue supporting the trademarks and discounted to present value using an appropriate discount rate.

Acquired intangible assets are being amortized over the estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation and weighted average remaining useful lives for identifiable intangible assets acquired as of the acquisition date:


(in millions)	Purchase Price Allocation		Weighted Average Estimated Useful Life
Customer relationships	$	183.8	13.5
Developed technology	39.0		8.0
Trademarks	10.3		5.0
Total intangible assets	$	233.1

The Company has not yet finalized the determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, specifically income taxes, leases and contingencies. The Company expects to finalize these amounts within one year of the acquisition date. The estimate of fair value and purchase price allocation were based on information available at the time of closing the acquisition, and the Company continues to evaluate the underlying inputs and assumptions that are being used in the fair value estimates of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Accordingly, these preliminary estimates are subject to adjustments during the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, based upon new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the date of closing the acquisition.

Pro Forma Results

The following unaudited supplemental pro forma data presents consolidated information as if the Ipackchem Acquisition had been completed on November 1, 2022. These amounts were calculated after adjusting Ipackchem’s results to reflect interest expense incurred on the debt to finance the acquisition, additional depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets had been applied from November 1, 2022, the adjusted income tax expense, and related transaction costs.

The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information is based on the Company’s preliminary assignment of purchase price and therefore subject to adjustment upon finalizing the purchase price assignment. The pro forma data should not be considered indicative of the results that would have occurred if the acquisition and related financing had been consummated on the assumed completion dates, nor are they indicative of future results.

NOTE 3 — GOODWILL

In December 2024, the Company announced changes to its reporting structure, effective November 1, 2024, moving to a material solution-based structure. This internal re-alignment has resulted in a change in the Company’s reportable segments from three: Global Industrial Packaging; Paper Packaging & Services; and Land Management; to four: Customized Polymer Solutions; Durable Metal Solutions; Sustainable Fiber Solutions; and Integrated Solutions.

Changes to the Company’s operating segments resulted in a change to the Company’s reporting units, which are aligned to the Company’s operating and reportable segments: Customized Polymer Solutions; Durable Metal Solutions; Sustainable Fiber Solutions; and Integrated Solutions. As a result of this segment realignment, the Company allocated goodwill to the reporting units existing under the new organizational structure on a relative fair value basis as of the first quarter of 2025.

Table of Content

In conjunction with the goodwill allocation described above, the Company tested its reporting units for potential impairment immediately before and after the segment realignment and concluded that the estimated fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its respective carrying value.

The following table summarizes the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by segment for the three months ended January 31, 2025:

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are parties to a senior secured credit agreement (the “2022 Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of financial institutions.

Table of Content

continue through January 31, 2027, with any outstanding principal balance of such term loan A-2 being due and payable on maturity on March 1, 2027, and (d) as further described below, a $300.0 million incremental secured term loan A-4 facility with quarterly principal installments that commenced on April 30, 2024 and continue through January 31, 2027, with any outstanding principal balance of such term loan A-4 being due and payable on maturity on March 1, 2027. Subject to the terms of the 2022 Credit Agreement, the Company has an option to borrow additional funds under the 2022 Credit Agreement with the agreement of the lenders.

On March 25, 2024, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an incremental term loan agreement (the “Incremental Term Loan A-4 Agreement”) with a syndicate of financial institutions. The Incremental Term Loan A-4 Agreement is an amendment to the 2022 Credit Agreement. The Incremental Term Loan A-4 Agreement provided for a loan in the aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million that was made available in a single draw on March 25, 2024 (the “Incremental Term Loan A-4”). Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of the Incremental Term Loan A-4 may not be reborrowed. The Incremental Term Loan A-4 amortizes at 2.50% per annum in equal quarterly principal installments, with the remaining outstanding principal balance due on March 1, 2027. The terms and provisions of the Incremental Term Loan A-4 are identical in all material respects to the terms and provisions of the other term loans made under the 2022 Credit Agreement. The Company’s obligations with respect to the Incremental Term Loan A-4 are secured and guaranteed with the other obligations under the 2022 Credit Agreement on a pari passu basis. The Company used the proceeds from the Incremental Term Loan A-4 to repay funds drawn on the revolving credit facility under the 2022 Credit Agreement for the purchase of Ipackchem on March 26, 2024.

On May 17, 2023, the Company and Greif Packaging LLC, a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Greif, Inc. (“Greif Packaging”), entered into a $300.0 million senior secured credit agreement (the “2023 Credit Agreement” and, together with the 2022 Credit Agreement, the “2022 and 2023 Credit Agreements”) with a syndicate of financial institutions, of which CoBank, ACB (“CoBank”) acted as a lender and as the lead administrative agent. The 2023 Credit Agreement is permitted incremental equivalent debt under the terms of the 2022 Credit Agreement. The 2023 Credit Agreement provides for a $300.0 million secured term loan facility on a pari passu basis with the 2022 Credit Agreement, with quarterly principal installments that commenced on July 31, 2023 and will continue through January 31, 2028, with any outstanding principal balance of such term loan being due and payable on maturity on May 17, 2028. The Company used the borrowings under the 2023 Credit Agreement to repay and refinance a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the 2022 Credit Agreement.

Interest accruing under the 2023 Credit Agreement is based on SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment or a base rate that resets periodically plus, in each case, a calculated margin amount that is based on the Company’s leverage ratio.

As of January 31, 2025, $2,524.3 million was outstanding under the 2022 and 2023 Credit Agreements. The current portion was $95.8 million, and the long-term portion was $2,428.5 million. The weighted average interest rate for borrowings under the 2022 and 2023 Credit Agreements was 5.98% for the three months ended January 31, 2025. The actual interest rate for borrowings under the 2022 and 2023 Credit Agreements was 6.00% as of January 31, 2025. The deferred financing costs associated with the term loan portion of the 2022 and 2023 Credit Agreements totaled $6.3 million as of January 31, 2025 and are recorded as a reduction of long-term debt on the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. The deferred financing costs associated with the revolving portion of the 2022 Credit Agreement totaled $2.2 million as of January 31, 2025 and are recorded within other long-term assets on the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Accounts Receivable Credit Facilities

Greif Receivables Funding LLC (“Greif Funding”), Greif Packaging, and certain other U.S. subsidiaries of the Company are parties to an amended and restated U.S. Receivables Financing Facility Agreement (the “U.S. RFA”). On May 17, 2024, the

Table of Content

maturity date of the U.S. RFA was extended to May 16, 2025. The U.S. RFA provides an accounts receivable financing facility of $300.0 million. As of January 31, 2025, there was a $228.4 million ($273.7 million as of October 31, 2024) outstanding under the U.S. RFA. The weighted average interest rate for borrowings under the U.S. RFA was 5.58% for the three months ended January 31, 2025.

Greif Funding is a direct subsidiary of Greif Packaging and is included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. However, because Greif Funding is a separate and distinct legal entity from the Company, the assets of Greif Funding are not available to satisfy the liabilities and obligations of the Company, Greif Packaging or other subsidiaries of the Company, and the liabilities of Greif Funding are not the liabilities or obligations of the Company or its other subsidiaries.

Cooperage Receivables Finance B.V. and Greif Services Belgium BV, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Greif, Inc., are parties to an amended and restated Nieuw Amsterdam Receivables Financing Agreement (the “European RFA”) with affiliates of a major international bank. On April 19, 2024, the maturity date of the European RFA was extended to April 22, 2025. The European RFA provides an accounts receivable financing facility of up to €100.0 million ($104.2 million as of January 31, 2025) secured by certain European accounts receivable. As of January 31, 2025, $77.8 million ($84.2 million as of October 31, 2024) was outstanding on the European RFA. The weighted average interest rate for borrowings under the European RFA was 4.32% for the three months ended January 31, 2025.

NOTE 6 — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents the fair value for those assets and (liabilities) measured on a recurring basis as of January 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024:

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, current liabilities and short-term borrowings as of January 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024 approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these items and are not included in this table.

Interest Rate Derivatives

As of January 31, 2025, the Company has various interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $1,400.0 million ($1,400.0 million as of October 31, 2024), maturing between March 1, 2027 and July 16, 2029. The Company will receive variable rate interest payments based upon one-month U.S. dollar SOFR, and in return the Company will be obligated to pay interest at a weighted average fixed interest rate of 2.97%. This effectively converted the borrowing rate on an amount of debt equal to the notional amount of the interest rate swaps from a variable rate to a fixed rate.

These derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the gain or loss on these derivative instruments is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction and in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. See Note 12 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for additional disclosures of the aggregate gain or loss

Table of Content

included within other comprehensive income (loss). The assumptions used in measuring fair value of these interest rate derivatives are considered level 2 inputs, which are based upon observable market rates, including SOFR and interest paid based upon a designated fixed rate over the life of the swap agreements.

Gains reclassified to earnings under these contracts were $5.6 million and $9.7 million for the three months ended January 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. A derivative gain of $16.0 million, based upon interest rates at January 31, 2025, is expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings in the next twelve months.

Foreign Exchange Hedges

The Company conducts business in various international currencies and is subject to risks associated with changing foreign exchange rates. The Company’s objective is to reduce volatility associated with foreign exchange rate changes. Accordingly, the Company enters into various contracts that change in value as foreign exchange rates change to protect the value of certain existing foreign currency assets and liabilities, commitments and anticipated foreign currency cash flows. As of January 31, 2025, and October 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts in the notional amount of $109.8 million and $74.1 million, respectively.

Adjustments to fair value are recognized in earnings, offsetting the impact of the hedged profits. The assumptions used in measuring fair value of foreign exchange hedges are considered level 2 inputs, which are based on observable market pricing for similar instruments, principally foreign exchange futures contracts.

For the three months ended January 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company recorded realized losses of $4.4 million and $0.0 million, respectively, under fair value contracts in other expense, net.

For the three months ended January 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company recorded unrealized net gains of $0.1 million and $2.4 million, respectively, in other expense, net.

Cross Currency Swap

The Company has operations and investments in various international locations and is subject to risks associated with changing foreign exchange rates. As of January 31, 2025, the Company has various cross currency interest rate swaps that synthetically swap $421.3 million ($447.6 million as of October 31, 2024) of U.S. fixed rate debt to Euro denominated fixed rate debt. The Company receives a weighted average rate of 1.67% on these swaps. These agreements are designated as either net investment hedges or cash flow hedges for accounting purposes and will mature between October 5, 2026 and November 3, 2028.

The gain or loss on these net investment hedge derivative instruments is included in the foreign currency translation component of other comprehensive income (loss) until the net investment is sold, diluted, or liquidated. See Note 12 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for additional disclosures of the aggregate gain or loss included within other comprehensive income (loss). The gain or loss on the cash flow hedge derivative instruments is included in the unrealized foreign exchange component of other expense, offset by the underlying gain or loss on the underlying cash flows that are being hedged. Interest payments received for the cross currency swap are excluded from the net investment hedge effectiveness assessment and are recorded in interest expense, net on the consolidated statements of income. The assumptions used in measuring fair value of the cross currency swap are considered level 2 inputs, which are based upon the Euro to United States dollar exchange rate market.

For the three months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024, gains recorded in interest expense, net under the cross currency swap agreements were $1.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2025, the Company executed a cash settlement of certain cross-currency swap contracts and simultaneously entered into new cross-currency swaps at prevailing market rates. The net cash settlement from restriking these swaps resulted in a cash receipt of $22.5 million of which $11.5 million related to cross-currency swap contracts designated as net investment hedges and $11.0 million related to cross-currency swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges.

The net investment hedges that were settled resulted in a final gain of $11.3 million, which is included in the foreign currency translation component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and the final OCI balance on these transactions is maintained on the balance sheet until the underlying hedged subsidiary is either sold or substantially liquidated. For the cash flow hedges that were settled, the gain will be recognized to income, through interest expense, over time through an amortization of the remaining OCI balance at termination. This OCI balance amounted to $1.8 million and will be recognized on a straight-line basis to the income statement through the transaction’s original maturity date of October 5, 2026.

Table of Content

Other Financial Instruments

The fair values of the Company’s 2022 Credit Agreement, the 2023 Credit Agreement, the U.S. RFA, and the European RFA do not materially differ from carrying value as the Company’s cost of borrowing is variable and approximates current borrowing rates. The fair values of the Company’s long-term obligations are estimated based on either the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or the current interest rates offered for the debt of the same remaining maturities, which are considered level 2 inputs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used to determine the fair value of the impairment of long-lived assets held and used and net assets held for sale for the three months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024:

For three months ended January 31, 2025, the Company wrote down long-lived assets with a carrying value of $34.3 million to a fair value of $20.6 million, resulting in recognized asset impairment charges of $13.7 million. These charges include $1.5 million related to properties, plants and equipment, net, in the Durable Metal Solutions reportable segment and $12.2 million related to properties, plants and equipment, net, in the Sustainable Fiber Solutions reportable segment.

For three months ended January 31, 2024, the Company wrote down long-lived assets with a carrying value of $1.3 million to a fair value of $0.0 million, resulting in recognized asset impairment charges of $1.3 million. These charges include $1.3 million related to properties, plants and equipment, net, in the Sustainable Fiber Solutions reportable segment.

The assumptions used in measuring fair value of long-lived assets are considered level 3 inputs, which include bids received from third parties, recent purchase offers, market comparable information, and discounted cash flows based on assumptions that market participants would use.

NOTE 7 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Long-Term Incentive Plan

The Company granted 123,800 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) on December 13, 2024, for the performance period commencing on November 1, 2024 and ending September 30, 2027. The weighted average fair value of the RSUs granted on that date was $66.61.

During 2025, the Company issued 49,269 shares of Class A Common Stock, which excludes shares withheld for the payment of taxes owed by recipients for RSUs vested, for the performance period commenced on November 1, 2021 and ended October 31, 2024.

The Company granted 215,953 performance stock units (“PSUs”) on December 13, 2024, for the performance period commencing on November 1, 2024 and ending September 30, 2027. If earned, the PSUs are to be awarded in shares of Class A Common Stock. The weighted average fair value of the PSUs granted on that date was $61.19.

Table of Content

During 2025, the Company issued 161,641 shares of Class A Common Stock, which excludes shares withheld for the payment of taxes owed by recipients for PSUs vested, for the performance period commenced on November 1, 2021 and ended October 31, 2024.

NOTE 8 — INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense for the quarter and year to date was computed in accordance with ASC 740-270, "Income Taxes - Interim Reporting." Under this method, losses from jurisdictions for which a valuation allowance has been provided have not been included in the amount to which the ASC 740-270 rate was applied. The Company’s income tax expense may fluctuate due to changes in estimated losses and income from jurisdictions for which a valuation allowance has been provided, the timing of recognition of the related tax expense under ASC 740-270, and the impact of discrete items in the respective quarter.

For the three months ended January 31, 2025, income tax expense was $7.8 million compared to income tax benefit of $38.2 million for the three months ended January 31, 2024. The $46.0 million net increase in total income tax expense was primarily attributable to a reduction in pre-tax book earnings, a significant non-recurring discrete benefit recorded in 2024 related to the recognition of deferred tax assets due to the onshoring of certain intangible property, and other discrete tax expense.

As part of the Ipackchem Acquisition, a deferred tax liability of $62.6 million has been recorded. This liability arises from the temporary differences between the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The primary components of the deferred tax liability include intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, and inventory. The deferred tax liability will be amortized over the useful lives of the related assets, in accordance with the applicable tax regulations. The Company will continue to assess the realizability of deferred tax assets and liabilities on an ongoing basis.

NOTE 9 — POST RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

The components of net periodic pension cost include the following:


	Three Months Ended January 31,
(in millions)	2025		2024
Service cost	$	1.7	$	1.7
Interest cost	7.7		8.6
Expected return on plan assets	(9.6)		(10.8)
Amortization of prior service benefit	—		(0.1)
Recognized net actuarial loss (gain)	0.1		(0.2)
Net periodic pension benefit	$	(0.1)	$	(0.8)

The Company expects to make employer contributions of $5.9 million, including benefits paid directly by the Company, during 2025.

The components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic post-retirement benefit, other than the service cost components, are included in the line item “Other expense, net” in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income.

NOTE 10 — CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESERVES

Litigation-related Liabilities

The Company may become involved from time-to-time in litigation and regulatory matters incidental to its business, including governmental investigations, enforcement actions, personal injury claims, product liability, employment health and safety matters, commercial disputes, intellectual property matters, disputes regarding environmental clean-up costs, litigation in connection with acquisitions and divestitures, and other matters arising out of the normal conduct of its business. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in such litigation. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any pending litigation will have a material adverse effect on its interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company may accrue for contingencies related to litigation and regulatory matters if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions can occur, assessing contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgments about future events. The Company

Table of Content

regularly reviews contingencies to determine whether its accruals are adequate. The amount of ultimate loss may differ from these estimates.

Environmental Reserves

As of January 31, 2025, and October 31, 2024, the Company’s environmental reserves were $19.5 million and $19.1 million, respectively (including $9.8 million for the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site in the New Jersey). These reserves are principally based on environmental studies and cost estimates provided by third parties, but also take into account management estimates. The estimated liabilities are reduced to reflect the anticipated participation of other potentially responsible parties in those instances where it is probable that such parties are legally responsible and financially capable of paying their respective shares of relevant costs. For sites that involve formal actions subject to joint and several liabilities, these actions have formal agreements in place to apportion the liability. It is possible that there could be resolution of uncertainties in the future that would require the Company to record charges that could be material to future earnings.

The Company’s exposure to adverse developments with respect to any individual site is not expected to be material. Although environmental remediation could have a material effect on results of operations if a series of adverse developments occur in a particular quarter or year, the Company believes that the chance of a series of adverse developments occurring in the same quarter or year is remote. Future information and developments will require the Company to continually reassess the expected impact of these environmental matters.

NOTE 11 — EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company has two classes of common stock and, as such, applies the “two-class method” of computing earnings per share (“EPS”) as prescribed in ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” In accordance with this guidance, earnings are allocated in the same fashion as dividends would be distributed. Under the Company’s certificate of incorporation, any distribution of dividends in any year must be made in proportion of one cent a share for Class A Common Stock to one and one-half cents a share for Class B Common Stock, which results in a 40% to 60% split to Class A and B shareholders, respectively. In accordance with this, earnings are allocated first to Class A and Class B Common Stock to the extent that dividends are actually paid and the remainder is allocated assuming all of the earnings for the period have been distributed in the form of dividends.

The Company calculates EPS as follows:

Basic Class A EPS

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

As previously announced, effective November 1, 2024, we implemented changes to our reporting structure, moving to a material solution-based structure. We realigned our organizational structure to operate in four reportable business segments: Customized Polymer Solutions; Durable Metal Solutions; Sustainable Fiber Solutions; and Integrated Solutions.

In the Customized Polymer Solutions reportable segment, we produce and sell a comprehensive line of polymer based packaging products, such as plastic drums, rigid intermediate bulk containers and small plastics. Our polymer-based packaging products and services are sold on a global basis to customers in industries such as chemicals, food and beverage, agricultural, pharmaceutical and mineral products, among others.

In the Durable Metal Solutions reportable segment, we produce and sell metal-based packaging products, including a wide variety of steel drums. Our metal-based packaging products are sold on a global basis to customers in industries such as chemicals, petroleum, agriculture and paints and coatings, among others.

In the Sustainable Fiber Solutions reportable segment, we produce and sell fiber-based packaging products, including fiber drums, containerboard, corrugated sheets, corrugated containers, uncoated recycled board, coated recycled board, tubes and cores and specialty partitions made from containerboard, uncoated recycled board and coated recycled board. Our fiber-based packaging products are sold in North America in industries such as packaging, automotive, construction, food and beverage and building products. In addition, this reportable segment is involved in the management and sale of timber, timberland and special use properties in the southeastern United States.

In the Integrated Solutions reportable segment, we produce and sell complimentary packaging products, such as paints, linings and closure systems for industrial packaging products and related services. In addition, this reportable segment is involved in the purchase and sale of recycled fiber and the production and sale of adhesives used in our containerboard and paperboard products. These products and services are used internally by us and are also sold to external customers

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our interim condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, in accordance with these principles, require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of our interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our critical accounting policies are discussed in Part II, Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the 2024 Form 10-K. We believe that the consistent application of these policies enables us to provide readers of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements with useful and reliable information about our results of operations and financial condition. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies from the disclosures contained in the 2024 Form 10-K.

Recently Issued and Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

See Note 1 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for a detailed description of recently issued and newly adopted accounting standards.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following comparative information is presented for the three months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024. Historical revenues and earnings may or may not be representative of future operating results as a result of various economic and other factors.

Items that could have a significant impact on the financial statements include the risks and uncertainties listed in Part I, Item 1A — Risk Factors, of the 2024 Form 10-K. Actual results could differ materially using different estimates and assumptions, or if conditions are significantly different in the future.

The non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA is used throughout the following discussion of our results of operations, both for our consolidated and segment results. For our consolidated results, Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income, plus interest expense, net, plus income tax (benefit) expense, plus depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, plus acquisition and integration related costs, plus restructuring charges, plus non-cash asset impairment charges, plus (gain) loss on disposal of properties, plants and equipment, net, plus (gain) loss on disposal of businesses, net, plus other costs. Since we do not calculate net income by reportable segment, Adjusted EBITDA by reportable segment is reconciled to operating profit by reportable segment. In that case, Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating profit by reportable segment, less equity earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, net of tax, plus depreciation, depletion and amortization expense plus acquisition and integration related costs, plus restructuring charges, plus non-cash asset impairment charges, plus (gain) loss on disposal of properties, plants and equipment, net, plus (gain) loss on disposal of businesses, net, plus other costs, for that reportable segment.

We use Adjusted EBITDA as a financial measure to evaluate our historical and ongoing operations and believe that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to enable investors to perform meaningful comparisons of our historical and current performance. The foregoing non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement and should be read together with our financial results. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative or substitute for, and should not be considered superior to, our reported financial results. Accordingly, users of this financial information should not place undue reliance on the non-GAAP financial measures.

Net Sales

Net sales were $1,265.8 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared with $1,205.8 million for the first quarter of 2024. The $60.0 million increase was primarily due to $58.5 million contributions from recent acquisitions. See the “Segment Review” below for additional information on net sales by segment.

Gross Profit

Gross profit was $245.5 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared with $221.6 million for the first quarter of 2024. The $23.9 million increase was primarily due to the same factors that impacted net sales, partially offset by higher raw material, transportation and manufacturing costs. See the “Segment Review” below for additional information on gross profit by segment. Gross profit margin was 19.4 percent and 18.4 percent for the first quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $167.7 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared with $145.8 million for the first quarter of 2024. The $21.9 million increase was primarily related to recent acquisitions. SG&A expenses were 13.2 percent and 12.1 percent of net sales for the first quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Financial Measures

Operating profit was $59.9 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared with $68.9 million for the first quarter of 2024. Net income was $14.4 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared with $74.3 million for the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA was $145.1 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared with $137.0 million for the first quarter of 2024. The reasons for the changes in operating profit, net income, and Adjusted EBITDA for each segment are described below in the “Segment Review.”

Trends

Despite slightly improved year-over-year volumes that vary across geographies and product groups, we have not identified and do not anticipate seeing any compelling customer demand inflection on the horizon. We expect prices for steel and resin to increase moderately through the remainder of the year, apart from any potential tariff impact. We also expect prices for old corrugated containers and other direct materials, as well as prices for transportation, labor and utilities, to remain relatively stable through the remainder of the year.

Segment Review

Key factors influencing profitability for our segments include:

•Selling prices, product mix, customer demand, and sales volumes;

•Raw material costs, primarily steel, resin, containerboard, old corrugated containers and used industrial packaging for reconditioning;

•Energy and transportation costs;

•Benefits from executing the Greif Business System 2.0;

•Restructuring charges;

•Acquisition of businesses and facilities;

•Divestiture of businesses and facilities; and

•Impact of foreign currency translation.

Customized Polymer Solutions

Our Customized Polymer Solutions segment offers a comprehensive line of polymer based packaging products, such as plastic drums, rigid intermediate bulk containers and small plastics.

Net sales were $295.1 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared with $228.0 million for the first quarter of 2024. The $67.1 million increase was primarily due to $58.5 million of contributions from recent acquisitions.

Gross profit was $60.6 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared with $44.2 million for the first quarter of 2024. The $16.4 million increase in gross profit was primarily due to the same factors that impacted net sales, partially offset by higher raw material, transportation and manufacturing costs. Gross profit margin was 20.5 percent and 19.4 percent for the first quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Operating profit was $13.8 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared with operating profit of $11.7 million for the first quarter of 2024. The $2.1 million increase was primarily due to the same factors that impacted gross profit, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses due to recent acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA was $39.5 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared with $25.8 million for the first quarter of 2024. The $13.7 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to the same factors that impacted gross profit.

Durable Metal Solutions

Net sales were $342.2 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared with $370.5 million for the first quarter of 2024. The $28.3 million decrease was primarily due to $16.9 million of negative foreign currency translation impacts and $10.3 million attributable to lower volumes.

Table of Content

Gross profit was $63.1 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared with $65.8 million for the first quarter of 2024. The $2.7 million decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the same factors that impacted net sales, partially offset by lower raw material costs. Gross profit margin was 18.4 percent and 17.8 percent for the first quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Operating profit was $37.6 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared with operating profit of $36.9 million for the first quarter of 2024. The $0.7 million increase was primarily due to lower SG&A expenses, partially offset by the same factors that impacted gross profit. Adjusted EBITDA was $45.2 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared with $44.7 million for the first quarter of 2024. The $0.5 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to the same factors that impacted operating profit.

In addition, this reportable segment is involved in the management and sale of timber, timberland and special use properties in the southeastern United States.

Net sales were $561.4 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared with $528.8 million for the first quarter of 2024. The $32.6 million increase was primarily due to $25.8 million from higher published containerboard and boxboard prices.

Gross profit was $103.4 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared with $88.3 million for the first quarter of 2024. The $15.1 million increase in gross profit was primarily due to the same factors that impacted net sales, partially offset by higher raw material costs. Gross profit margin was 18.4 percent and 16.7 percent for the first quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Operating profit was $3.6 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared with $8.2 million for the first quarter of 2024. The $4.6 million decrease was primarily due to higher SG&A expenses and higher impairment charges related to plant closures, partially offset by the same factors that impacted gross profit. Adjusted EBITDA was $51.5 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared with $53.0 million for the first quarter of 2024. The $1.5 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher SG&A expenses, partially offset by the same factors that impacted gross profit, excluding impacts from depreciation and amortization.

Integrated Solutions

Our Integrated Solutions segment produces and sells complimentary packaging products, such as paints, linings and closure systems for industrial packaging products and related services. In addition, this reportable segment participates in the purchase and sale of recycled fiber and the production and sale of adhesives, which can be used in our containerboard and paperboard products.

Net sales were $67.1 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared with $78.5 million for the first quarter of 2024. The $11.4 million decrease was primarily due to an $11.3 million impact from the divestiture of Delta Petroleum Company, Inc. (the “Delta Divestiture”) during the third quarter of 2024.

Gross profit was $18.4 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared with $23.3 million for the first quarter of 2024. The $4.9 million decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the Delta Divestiture. Gross profit margin was 27.4 percent and 29.7 percent for the first quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to the Delta Divestiture.

Operating profit was $4.9 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared with operating profit of $12.1 million for the first quarter of 2024. The $7.2 million decrease was primarily due to the same factors that impacted gross profit and lower gains on disposal of properties, plants and equipment, net. Adjusted EBITDA was $8.9 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared with $13.5 million for the first quarter of 2024. The $4.6 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to the same factors that impacted gross profit.

Income Tax Expense

Our quarterly income tax expense was computed in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740-270, "Income Taxes - Interim Reporting." In accordance with this accounting standard, annual estimated tax expense is computed based on forecasted annual earnings and other forecasted annual amounts, including, but not limited to items such as uncertain tax positions and withholding taxes. Additionally, losses from jurisdictions for which a valuation allowance has been provided

Table of Content

have not been included in the annual estimated tax rate. Income tax expense each quarter is provided for on a current year-to-date basis using the annual estimated tax rate, adjusted for discrete taxable events that occur during the interim period.

A number of countries have enacted legislation to implement the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s global minimum tax regime of 15% of reported profits (the “Pillar 2 taxes”). During 2023 and 2024, many countries began to incorporate the Pillar 2 tax model rule concepts into their domestic laws. Although the model rules provide a framework for applying the minimum tax, countries may enact the Pillar 2 taxes slightly differently than the model rules and on different timelines and may adjust domestic tax incentives in response to the Pillar 2 taxes. We do not expect these changes to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements for 2025. We continue to evaluate the impacts of proposed and enacted legislation with respect to the global minimum tax regime in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Our effective tax rate and cash tax payments could increase in future periods as further jurisdictions enact legislation.

Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2025 was $7.8 million on $21.8 million of pretax income, and income tax benefit for the first quarter of 2024 was $38.2 million on $35.6 million of pretax income. The $46.0 million net increase in income tax expense was primarily attributable to the following:

•A $48.1 million increase related to non-recurring discrete tax benefits was recorded during the first quarter of 2024 related to the recognition of deferred tax assets due to the onshoring of certain intangible property;

•A $2.7 million increase related to other miscellaneous discrete items; and

•A $4.8 million decrease related to changes in the expected mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions, including jurisdictions for which valuation allowances have been recorded, as well as the timing of recognition of the related tax expense.

We are subject to audits by U.S. federal, state and local tax authorities and foreign tax authorities. We believe that adequate provisions have been made for any adjustments that may result from tax examinations. However, the outcome of tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty. If any issues addressed in the tax audits are resolved in a manner not consistent with management’s expectations, we could be required to adjust our provision for income taxes in the period such resolution occurs.

The estimated net decrease in unrecognized tax benefits for the next 12 months ranges from zero to $4.7 million. Actual results may differ materially from this estimate.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary sources of liquidity are operating cash flows and borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities and proceeds from our trade accounts receivable credit facilities. We use these sources to fund our working capital needs, capital expenditures, cash dividends, debt repayment, and acquisitions. We anticipate continuing to fund these items in a like manner. We currently expect that operating cash flows, borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities, and proceeds from our trade accounts receivable credit facilities will be sufficient to fund our anticipated working capital, capital expenditures, cash dividends, debt repayment, potential acquisitions of businesses, and other liquidity needs for at least 12 months.

Operating Activities

During the first three months of 2025 and 2024, cash provided by change in accounts receivable was $31.9 million and $21.5 million, respectively. The favorable change in accounts receivable levels was primarily due to an increase in net sales and timing of collections.

Table of Content

During the first three months of 2025 and 2024, cash used in change in inventories was $(21.5) million and $(28.0) million, respectively. The favorable change in inventories was primarily due to decrease in raw material prices.

During the first three months of 2025 and 2024, cash used in change in accounts payable was $(33.5) million and $(21.1) million, respectively. The unfavorable change in accounts payable levels was primarily due to increase in purchases to meet demand and timing of payments.

Investing Activities

During the first three months of 2025 and 2024, we invested $35.7 million and $55.6 million, respectively, of cash in capital expenditures.

During the first three months of 2025, we received $22.5 million proceeds from a cash settlement of certain cross-currency swap contracts, of which $11.5 million related to cross-currency swap contracts designated as net investment hedges and $11.0 million related to cross-currency swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges.

Financing Activities

During the first three months of 2025 and 2024, we paid cash dividends to our stockholders in the amount of $31.0 million and $29.7 million, respectively.

2022 Credit Agreement

We have a senior secured credit agreement (the “2022 Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of financial institutions.

The 2022 Credit Agreement provides for (a) an $800.0 million secured revolving credit facility, consisting of a $725.0 million multicurrency facility and a $75.0 million U.S. dollar facility, maturing on March 1, 2027, (b) a $1,100.0 million secured term loan A-1 facility with quarterly principal installments that continue through January 31, 2027, with any outstanding principal balance of such term loan A-1 facility being due and payable on maturity on March 1, 2027, (c) a $515.0 million secured term loan A-2 facility with quarterly principal installments that continue through January 31, 2027, with any outstanding principal balance of such term loan A-2 being due and payable on maturity on March 1, 2027, and (d) as further described below, a $300.0 million incremental secured term loan A-4 facility with quarterly principal installments that continue through January 31, 2027, with any outstanding principal balance of such term loan A-4 being due and payable on maturity on March 1, 2027. Subject to the terms of the 2022 Credit Agreement, the Company has an option to borrow additional funds under the 2022 Credit Agreement with the agreement of the lenders.

Table of Content

We have an incremental term loan agreement (the “Incremental Term Loan A-4 Agreement”) with a syndicate of financial institutions. The Incremental Term Loan A-4 Agreement is an amendment to the 2022 Credit Agreement. The Incremental Term Loan A-4 Agreement provided for a loan in the aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million that was made available in a single draw on March 25, 2024 (the “Incremental Term Loan A-4”). Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of the Incremental Term Loan A-4 may not be reborrowed. The Incremental Term Loan A-4 amortizes at 2.50% per annum in equal quarterly principal installments, with the remaining outstanding principal balance due on March 1, 2027. The terms and provisions of the Incremental Term Loan A-4 are identical in all material respects to the terms and provisions of the other term loans made under the 2022 Credit Agreement. Our obligations with respect to the Incremental Term Loan A-4 are secured and guaranteed with the other obligations under the 2022 Credit Agreement on a pari passu basis. We used the proceeds from the Incremental Term Loan A-4 to repay funds drawn on the revolving credit facility under the 2022 Credit Agreement for the purchase of Ipackchem on March 26, 2024.

Interest is based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a credit spread adjustment or a base rate that resets periodically plus, in each case, a calculated margin amount that is based on our leverage ratio. Subject to the terms of the 2022 Credit Agreement, we have an option to add borrowings to the 2022 Credit Agreement with the agreement of the lenders. As of January 31, 2025, we had $248.0 million of available borrowing capacity under the $800.0 million secured revolving credit facility.

The repayment of all borrowings under the 2022 Credit Agreement is secured by a security interest in certain of our personal property and certain of the personal property of certain of our U.S. subsidiaries, including equipment and inventory and certain intangible assets, as well as a pledge of the capital stock of substantially all of our U.S. subsidiaries, and is secured, in part, by the capital stock of the non-U.S. borrowers. However, in the event that we receive and maintain an investment grade rating from either Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC, we may request the release of such collateral.

The 2022 Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, which include financial covenants that require us to maintain a certain leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio. The leverage ratio generally requires that at the end of any fiscal quarter we will not permit the ratio of (a) our total consolidated indebtedness (less the aggregate amount of our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents), to (b) our consolidated net income plus depreciation, depletion and amortization, interest expense (including capitalized interest), income taxes, and minus certain extraordinary gains and non-recurring gains (or plus certain extraordinary losses and non-recurring losses), and plus or minus certain other items for the preceding twelve months (as used in this paragraph only “EBITDA”) to be greater than 4.50 to 1.00 through the quarter ending January 31, 2025, and thereafter 4.00 to 1.00; provided that such leverage ratio is subject to (i) a covenant step-up (as defined in the 2022 Credit Agreement) increase adjustment of 0.50 upon the consummation of, and the following three fiscal quarters after, certain specified acquisitions and (ii) a collateral release decrease adjustment of 0.25x during any collateral release period (as defined in the 2022 Credit Agreement). The interest coverage ratio generally requires that at the end of any fiscal quarter we will not permit the ratio of (a) our consolidated EBITDA, to (b) our consolidated interest expense to the extent paid or payable, to be less than 3.00 to 1.00, during the applicable preceding twelve-month period. As of January 31, 2025, we were in compliance with the covenants and other agreements in the 2022 Credit Agreement.

2023 Credit Agreement

We have a $300.0 million senior secured credit agreement (the “2023 Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of financial institutions. The 2023 Credit Agreement is permitted incremental equivalent debt under the terms of the 2022 Credit Agreement. The 2023 Credit Agreement provides for a $300.0 million secured term loan facility on a pari passu basis with the 2022 Credit Agreement, with quarterly principal installments that continue through January 31, 2028, with any outstanding principal balance being due and payable at maturity on May 17, 2028. We used the borrowings under the 2023 Credit Agreement to repay and refinance a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the 2022 Credit Agreement. Interest accruing under the 2023 Credit Agreement is based on SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment or a base rate that resets periodically plus, in each case, a calculated margin amount that is based on our leverage ratio.

The repayment of all borrowings under the 2023 Credit Agreement is secured by a security interest in certain of our personal property and certain of the personal property of certain of our U.S. subsidiaries, including equipment and inventory and certain intangible assets, as well as a pledge of the capital stock of substantially all of our U.S. subsidiaries. However, in the event that we receive and maintain an investment grade rating from either Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC, we may request the release of such collateral. Our obligations under the 2023 Credit Agreement are secured on a pari passu basis with the obligations arising under the 2022 Credit Agreement.

Table of Content

The 2023 Credit Agreement contains covenants, including financial covenants, substantially the same as the covenants in 2022 Credit Agreement, as described above, and a “most favored lender” provision related to the 2022 Credit Agreement. As of January 31, 2025, we were in compliance with the covenants and other agreements in the 2023 Credit Agreement.

Short-Term Debt

Short-term debt is summarized as follows:


(in millions)	January 31, 2025	October 31, 2024
Accounts receivable credit facilities	306.2	—

Other debt	16.0	18.6
	322.2	18.6

Accounts Receivable Credit Facilities

We have a $300.0 million U.S. Receivables Financing Facility Agreement (the “U.S. RFA”) that matures on May 16, 2025. As of January 31, 2025, there was a $228.4 million ($273.7 million as of October 31, 2024) outstanding balance under the U.S. RFA. The U.S. RFA also contains events of default and covenants that are substantially the same as the covenants under the 2022 Credit Agreement. As of January 31, 2025, we were in compliance with these covenants. Proceeds of the U.S. RFA are available for working capital and general corporate purposes.

We have a €100.0 million ($104.2 million as of January 31, 2025) European Receivables Financing Agreement (the “European RFA”) that matures on April 22, 2025. As of January 31, 2025, $77.8 million ($84.2 million as of October 31, 2024) was outstanding on the European RFA. As of January 31, 2025, we were in compliance with covenants contained in the European RFA. Proceeds of the European RFA are available for working capital and general corporate purposes.

See Note 5 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional disclosures regarding our financial obligations.

Financial Instruments

Interest Rate Derivatives

As of January 31, 2025, we had various interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $1,400.0 million ($1,400.0 million as of October 31, 2024) amortizing down over the term, in which we receive variable interest rate payments based on SOFR and in return are obligated to pay interest at a weighted average fixed interest rate of 2.97%. These derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes and will mature between March 1, 2027 and July 16, 2029.

Accordingly, the gain or loss on these derivative instruments is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transactions and in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

Foreign Exchange Hedges

We conduct business in international currencies and are subject to risks associated with changing foreign exchange rates. Our objective is to reduce volatility associated with foreign exchange rate changes to allow management to focus its attention on business operations. Accordingly, we enter into various contracts that change in value as foreign exchange rates change to protect the value of certain existing foreign currency assets and liabilities, commitments, and anticipated foreign currency cash flows.

As of January 31, 2025, and October 31, 2024, we had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts in the notional amount of $109.8 million, and $74.1 million, respectively.

Cross Currency Swap

We have operations and investments in various international locations and are subject to risks associated with changing foreign exchange rates. We have cross currency interest rate swaps that synthetically swap $421.3 million ($447.6 million as of October 31, 2024) of U.S. fixed rate debt to Euro denominated fixed rate debt. We receive a weighted average rate of 1.67%.

Table of Content

These agreements are designated either net investment hedges or cash flow hedges for accounting purposes and will mature between October 5, 2026 and November 3, 2028.

Accordingly, the gain or loss on the net investment hedge derivative instruments is included in the foreign currency translation component of other comprehensive income (loss) until the net investment is sold, diluted, or liquidated. The gain or loss on the cash flow hedge derivative instruments is included in the unrealized foreign exchange component of other expense, offset by the underlying gain or loss on the underlying cash flows that are being hedged. Interest payments received from the cross currency swap are excluded from the net investment hedge effectiveness assessment and are recorded in interest expense, net on the consolidated statements of income.

During the first quarter of 2025, we executed a cash settlement of certain cross-currency swap contracts and simultaneously entered into new cross-currency swaps at prevailing market rates. The net cash settlement from restriking these swaps resulted in a cash receipt of $22.5 million of which $11.5 million related to cross-currency swap contracts designated as net investment hedges and $11.0 million related to cross-currency swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges.

See Note 6 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional disclosures regarding our financial instruments.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	3 Months Ended
	Jan. 31, 2025
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instructions to Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. The 2024 fiscal year of Greif, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) began on November 1, 2023 and ended on October 31, 2024. Any references to the 2024 fiscal year or to any quarter of that year, relates to the fiscal year or quarter, as the case may be, ended October 31, 2024, unless otherwise stated. The Company is changing its fiscal year, effective for the 2025 fiscal year. The 2025 fiscal year began on November 1, 2024 and will end on September 30, 2025, and accordingly, will consist of eleven months. The Company’s fourth fiscal quarter of 2025 will be the two-month period ending September 30, 2025. Thereafter, the Company’s fiscal year will begin on October 1 and end on September 30 of the following year. The information filed herein reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2025 and the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2024, the interim condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss) and changes in shareholders’ equity for the three months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024 and the interim condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024 of the Company. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Greif, Inc., all wholly-owned and consolidated subsidiaries and investments in limited liability companies, partnerships and joint ventures in which it has controlling influence or is the primary beneficiary. Non-majority owned entities include investments in limited liability companies, partnerships and joint ventures in which the Company does not have controlling interest and are accounted for using either the equity or cost method, as appropriate. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended October 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”). Recast of Certain Prior Period Information In December 2024, the Company announced changes to its reporting structure, moving to a material solution-based structure. The Company believes this structure will enable the Company to more efficiently utilize its robust scale and global network of facilities, align operations to capitalize on its deep subject matter expertise, enable further innovation and growth, and optimize cross-selling and margin expansion opportunities. This internal re-alignment has resulted in a change in the Company’s reportable segments. Prior period segment information for the 2024 fiscal year has been recast to conform to the way the Company internally manages and monitors its business during the 2025 fiscal year. The recast of prior period information had no impact on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated balance sheets, interim condensed consolidated statements of income, interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), interim condensed consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and the interim condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Newly Adopted Accounting Standards There have been no new accounting standards adopted since the filing of the 2024 Form 10-K that have significance, or potential significance, to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Tax Disclosures,” which is intended to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The effective date for the Company to adopt this ASU is for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2025. The Company is in the process of determining the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flow and disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The effective date for the Company to adopt this ASU is for the fiscal year and interim periods beginning November 1, 2024 and October 1, 2025 respectively. The Company is in the process of determining the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flow and disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which is intended to improve disclosures related to the Company’s certain income statement expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The effective date for the Company to adopt this ASU is for the fiscal year and interim periods beginning October 1, 2027 and October 1, 2028 respectively. The Company is in the process of determining the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flow and disclosures.

INCOME TAXES	Jan. 31, 2025
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES Income tax expense for the quarter and year to date was computed in accordance with ASC 740-270, "Income Taxes - Interim Reporting." Under this method, losses from jurisdictions for which a valuation allowance has been provided have not been included in the amount to which the ASC 740-270 rate was applied. The Company’s income tax expense may fluctuate due to changes in estimated losses and income from jurisdictions for which a valuation allowance has been provided, the timing of recognition of the related tax expense under ASC 740-270, and the impact of discrete items in the respective quarter. For the three months ended January 31, 2025, income tax expense was $7.8 million compared to income tax benefit of $38.2 million for the three months ended January 31, 2024. The $46.0 million net increase in total income tax expense was primarily attributable to a reduction in pre-tax book earnings, a significant non-recurring discrete benefit recorded in 2024 related to the recognition of deferred tax assets due to the onshoring of certain intangible property, and other discrete tax expense. As part of the Ipackchem Acquisition, a deferred tax liability of $62.6 million has been recorded. This liability arises from the temporary differences between the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The primary components of the deferred tax liability include intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, and inventory. The deferred tax liability will be amortized over the useful lives of the related assets, in accordance with the applicable tax regulations. The Company will continue to assess the realizability of deferred tax assets and liabilities on an ongoing basis.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESERVES	3 Months Ended
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESERVES	Jan. 31, 2025
Environmental Remediation Obligations [Abstract]
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESERVES	CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESERVES Litigation-related Liabilities The Company may become involved from time-to-time in litigation and regulatory matters incidental to its business, including governmental investigations, enforcement actions, personal injury claims, product liability, employment health and safety matters, commercial disputes, intellectual property matters, disputes regarding environmental clean-up costs, litigation in connection with acquisitions and divestitures, and other matters arising out of the normal conduct of its business. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in such litigation. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any pending litigation will have a material adverse effect on its interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company may accrue for contingencies related to litigation and regulatory matters if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions can occur, assessing contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgments about future events. The Company regularly reviews contingencies to determine whether its accruals are adequate. The amount of ultimate loss may differ from these estimates. Environmental Reserves As of January 31, 2025, and October 31, 2024, the Company’s environmental reserves were $19.5 million and $19.1 million, respectively (including $9.8 million for the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site in the New Jersey). These reserves are principally based on environmental studies and cost estimates provided by third parties, but also take into account management estimates. The estimated liabilities are reduced to reflect the anticipated participation of other potentially responsible parties in those instances where it is probable that such parties are legally responsible and financially capable of paying their respective shares of relevant costs. For sites that involve formal actions subject to joint and several liabilities, these actions have formal agreements in place to apportion the liability. It is possible that there could be resolution of uncertainties in the future that would require the Company to record charges that could be material to future earnings. The Company’s exposure to adverse developments with respect to any individual site is not expected to be material. Although environmental remediation could have a material effect on results of operations if a series of adverse developments occur in a particular quarter or year, the Company believes that the chance of a series of adverse developments occurring in the same quarter or year is remote. Future information and developments will require the Company to continually reassess the expected impact of these environmental matters.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	3 Months Ended
	Jan. 31, 2025
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instructions to Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. The 2024 fiscal year of Greif, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) began on November 1, 2023 and ended on October 31, 2024. Any references to the 2024 fiscal year or to any quarter of that year, relates to the fiscal year or quarter, as the case may be, ended October 31, 2024, unless otherwise stated. The Company is changing its fiscal year, effective for the 2025 fiscal year. The 2025 fiscal year began on November 1, 2024 and will end on September 30, 2025, and accordingly, will consist of eleven months. The Company’s fourth fiscal quarter of 2025 will be the two-month period ending September 30, 2025. Thereafter, the Company’s fiscal year will begin on October 1 and end on September 30 of the following year. The information filed herein reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2025 and the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2024, the interim condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss) and changes in shareholders’ equity for the three months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024 and the interim condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024 of the Company. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Greif, Inc., all wholly-owned and consolidated subsidiaries and investments in limited liability companies, partnerships and joint ventures in which it has controlling influence or is the primary beneficiary. Non-majority owned entities include investments in limited liability companies, partnerships and joint ventures in which the Company does not have controlling interest and are accounted for using either the equity or cost method, as appropriate. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended October 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”).
Recast of Certain Prior Period Information	Recast of Certain Prior Period Information In December 2024, the Company announced changes to its reporting structure, moving to a material solution-based structure. The Company believes this structure will enable the Company to more efficiently utilize its robust scale and global network of facilities, align operations to capitalize on its deep subject matter expertise, enable further innovation and growth, and optimize cross-selling and margin expansion opportunities. This internal re-alignment has resulted in a change in the Company’s reportable segments. Prior period segment information for the 2024 fiscal year has been recast to conform to the way the Company internally manages and monitors its business during the 2025 fiscal year. The recast of prior period information had no impact on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated balance sheets, interim condensed consolidated statements of income, interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), interim condensed consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and the interim condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Newly Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Newly Adopted Accounting Standards There have been no new accounting standards adopted since the filing of the 2024 Form 10-K that have significance, or potential significance, to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Tax Disclosures,” which is intended to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The effective date for the Company to adopt this ASU is for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2025. The Company is in the process of determining the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flow and disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The effective date for the Company to adopt this ASU is for the fiscal year and interim periods beginning November 1, 2024 and October 1, 2025 respectively. The Company is in the process of determining the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flow and disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which is intended to improve disclosures related to the Company’s certain income statement expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The effective date for the Company to adopt this ASU is for the fiscal year and interim periods beginning October 1, 2027 and October 1, 2028 respectively. The Company is in the process of determining the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flow and disclosures.
