Tredegar Corporation (TG) Q3 2024 Earnings Report

Tredegar reported Q3 2024 revenue of $182.1 million, up 3.6% year over year, reflecting modest demand in Tredegar’s diversified exposure across Aluminum Extrusions, PE Films and Flexible Packaging Films. Despite top-line progress, gross profit declined 13.8% year over year to $23.29 million, producing a gross margin of 12.79% as the company faced a less favorable mix and input cost pressures. Operating income was $2.57 million (1.41% of revenue), while EBITDA reached $8.58 million (approximately 4.7% of revenue). The company posted a net loss of $3.95 million, or -$0.11 per share, as total other income and expenses totaled -$5.56 million, offsetting a pre-tax loss of -$2.999 million and a tax expense of $0.948 million.

Cash flow remained negative in the quarter: net cash provided by operating activities was -$1.28 million, with capital expenditures of $2.91 million yielding free cash flow of -$4.19 million.
