CONCORD TOWNSHIP, Ohio: Ranpak Holdings Corp. (NYSE: PACK) (“Ranpak” or “the Company”), a leading provider of environmentally sustainable, systems-based, product protection and end-of-line automation solutions for e-commerce and industrial supply chains, today reported its second quarter 2026 financial results.
Omar Asali, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “I am pleased with the overall second quarter results and the continued excellent growth in Automation as net revenue in the quarter for our automation product line increased 139.4% year over year on a constant currency basis and excluding warrants. We remain on track to have a strong year in Automation expecting to achieve nearly $60 million in revenue. The momentum there is strong and we believe our value proposition is resonating with the marketplace as more and more companies are adopting our box customization and automated dunnage insertion solutions. PPS also experienced growth as volumes increased 2.4% year over year, driven by EMEA which exceeded expectations in a dynamic environment.
Together, these factors contributed to net revenue growth of 14.0% or 12.2% on a constant currency basis, inclusive of a $1.7 million provision for warrants. AEBITDA increased $2.6 million or 15.8% to $19.1 million and was up 13.9% on a constant currency basis. Excluding the impact of warrants, AEBITDA increased 15.8% on a constant currency basis.
Evolving global conflicts continue to create volatility and uncertainty in the near term, but we believe our innovation in PPS, Automation, and sustainable Cold Chain solutions position us well for the next number of years and expands our portfolio to address major areas of the market we have not played in thus far. Our relationships with our large enterprise customers are strong and continue to evolve. We are very focused on partnering with them at scale to provide value added and differentiated solutions and reducing our exposure to products we view to be more commoditized with less of a growth trajectory. We continue to expect to achieve our guidance for the year and are positioning ourselves to achieve our longer term revenue targets through the capacity we are building in the second half of 2026. We remain disciplined on cost and are focused on delivering top‑line growth while strengthening our margin profile.”
Second Quarter 2026 Highlights
Net revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was $105.2 million compared to $92.3 million for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $12.9 million or 14.0% (12.2% on a constant currency basis) and includes a non-cash reduction of $1.0 million to void-fill and $0.7 million to automation net revenue from the provision for warrants in the current period. Net revenue for the second quarter of 2025 includes a non-cash reduction of $1.2 million to void-fill from the provision for warrants. Net revenue was positively impacted by increases in automation equipment sales, void-fill, and wrapping, partially offset by a decrease in cushioning. Automation net revenue increased $9.5 million, or 133.8% to $16.6 million from $7.1 million; void-fill increased $3.7 million, or 9.0%, to $44.8 million from $41.1 million; wrapping increased $1.4 million, or 19.2%, to $8.7 million from $7.3 million; and cushioning decreased $1.7 million, or 4.6%, to $35.1 million from $36.8 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025.
