Forward guidance
Greif is providing a low-end guidance estimate for fiscal year 2024, based on the continuation of demand trends reflected in the past year and current price/cost factors in Paper Packaging and Services. The low-end guidance does not factor in any contribution from the proposed acquisition of Ipackchem or other near-term M&A opportunities.
