by · The Markets Daily

Silgan (NYSE:SLGN – Get Free Report) released its earnings results on Wednesday. The industrial products company reported $0.67 earnings per share for the quarter, beating the consensus estimate of $0.65 by $0.02, Briefing.com reports. The business had revenue of $1.47 billion during the quarter, compared to analysts’ expectations of $1.46 billion. Silgan had a net margin of 4.45% and a return on equity of 17.94%. The firm’s revenue was up 4.1% on a year-over-year basis. During the same period last year, the business earned $0.85 earnings per share. Silgan updated its FY 2026 guidance to 3.700-3.900 EPS and its Q1 2026 guidance to 0.700-0.800 EPS.

Here are the key takeaways from Silgan’s conference call:

  • Silgan completed the Weener acquisition integration and achieved run‑rate synergies, with Dispensing & Specialty Closures now >50% of Adjusted EBITDA and delivering record sales, adjusted EBIT/EBITDA while accelerating its new‑product pipeline and wins.
  • For 2026 management targets Adjusted EPS of $3.70–$3.90, expects roughly $450 million of free cash flow and will spend about $310 million of CapEx to support dispensing and pet‑food growth, with midpoint guidance exceeding 2025 Adjusted EBIT/EBITDA.
  • Interest costs will increase materially (estimated ~$205 million for 2026 and roughly $45 million in Q1) due to the April maturity of the 1.4% senior secured notes, which pressured Q4 adjusted EPS and will weigh on net income and cash flow in 2026.
  • Metal Containers showed volume growth (+4% quarterly, pet food +7%) and margin improvement driven by cost‑reduction programs and volume leverage, and management expects low single‑digit volume and adjusted EBIT growth in 2026, led by pet food.
  • Although Dispensing & Specialty Closures destocking is reported complete, Custom Containers still carries some destocking and inventory timing effects (plus prior‑quarter pre‑buys), contributing to a Q1 adjusted EPS guide of $0.70–$0.80 versus $0.82 a year ago.
