Glass packaging manufacturer Verallia has presented its first-quarter results. The company reports improved profitability despite a slight decline in sales and confirms its full-year outlook.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Verallia's revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was \u20ac798 million, 2.4 percent down on the previous year. The company cited lower selling prices as the main reason, while sales volumes remained broadly stable.<\/p>\n

Stabilisation of volume and demand<\/h2>\n

Sales volumes developed differently by region. While growth was achieved in most countries, a decline in activities in Germany in particular weighed on overall development. According to Verallia, positive impetus came primarily from the spirits segment and the food jar business.<\/p>

In Southern and Western Europe, the recovery continued, driven particularly by beer and food packaging. In Northern and Eastern Europe, however, volumes declined, primarily due to weaker demand in Germany.<\/p>\n

Profit up despite falling sales<\/h2>\n

The operating result developed clearly positively. Adjusted EBITDA rose by 8 percent to 159 million euros in the first quarter, and the margin improved to 19.9 percent.<\/p>
