Crown Holdings’ sales flat at $3,035 million in Q2; adds North America beverage cans capacity

EDITED BY : HEENA IQBAL 2MINS READ

Crown Holdings, Inc. announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019. Net sales were $3,035 million in Q2, from $3,046 million in Q2 2018, reflecting $80 million of unfavourable currency translation offset by increased beverage can volumes.

Income from operations increased from $292 million to $383 million in the second quarter. Segment income was $386 million compared to $389 million in the prior year second quarter.

Net income stood at $137 million in Q2 2019. Reported diluted earnings per share were $1.02 in Q2 compared to $0.99 in 2018. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.46 compared to $1.55 in 2018.

Timothy J. Donahue, President and Chief Executive Officer, said: "Our overall performance during the quarter was generally in line with expectations. Strong results throughout our global beverage can operations offset a disappointing result in our European food can business. Beverage can volume growth was fueled by notable gains in Brazil, Europe and Southeast Asia, as consumers in both emerging and developed markets continue to show a preference for cans over other packaging options.”

“Recently installed beverage can capacity additions, including a third line at the Company's existing plant in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, a new one line high-speed plant in Parma, Italy, and a new two line high-speed plant in Valencia, Spain, have helped us meet the continuing expansion in demand. In November 2019, we plan to commence operations at a new beverage can facility in Rio Verde, central Brazil.”

The company started the construction of a third-speed line at its Nichols, New York facility to meet volume requirements in beverage can in North America.

"To meet volume requirements in our North American beverage can business, we have begun the construction of a third high-speed line at our Nichols, New York facility which will begin production during the second quarter of 2020,” Timothy J. Donahue said.

“Also to support demand growth and targeted for a first quarter 2020 start-up, we will convert an existing two-piece steel food can production line at our Weston, Ontario plant to produce aluminium beverage cans. Both the Nichols and Weston lines will be capable of producing multiple sizes. The underlying demand supporting these projects underscores that beverage cans are the world's most sustainable and recycled beverage packaging and are increasingly being viewed as the most responsible format."
