“This success is driven by solid results across all three segments, particularly in North America. The integration of our operations is progressing well, and our synergy program remains on track to deliver $400 million, with approximately $350 million expected this year,” says Tony Smurfit, President and CEO.
Smurfit WestRock has announced its first-quarter financial results for 2025, showcasing robust performance across all segments. The company reported net sales of $7.656 billion, with a net income of $382 million and an adjusted EBITDA of $1.252 billion, reflecting a 16.4% EBITDA margin.
The company continues to optimize its asset base, recently announcing the closure of over 500,000 tons of paper capacity in North America and the shutdown of two converting facilities in the region. Additionally, consultations have begun regarding the closure of two converting facilities in EMEA & APAC.
To strengthen its market position, Smurfit WestRock is investing in state-of-the-art converting plants in Washington and Wisconsin, as well as a new Bag-in-Box facility in South Carolina. Similar investments in EMEA & APAC aim to enhance efficiency and reduce costs, while Latin America sees continued investment in growth projects, including a biomass boiler in Colombia.
Looking ahead, Smurfit WestRock anticipates economic downtime in Q2, costing approximately $100 million, as it continues to refine operations and drive long-term value for stakeholders.
