Investor Relations

SIG Group AG, a stalwart in the Swiss manufacturing landscape, operates at the intersection of food packaging innovation and sustainability. With roots tracing back over a century, the company has honed the art of crafting aseptic carton packaging solutions that keep food and beverages fresh without the need for refrigeration. By focusing on the aseptic packaging market, SIG caters to global consumer demands for convenient and safe packaging solutions that extend the shelf life of products while minimizing the carbon footprint. This combination of technology and environmental consciousness is crucial as the company navigates the challenges and opportunities of a world increasingly focused on sustainability.

The lifeblood of SIG Group AG's business model is its deep partnerships with big-name brands in the food and beverage industry.

AI Summary
Q4 2024

Revenue Growth: SIG delivered revenue growth of approximately 4% for 2024, at the low end of its midterm guidance, with carton revenue growing 6% and bag-in-box and spouted pouch revenue declining 5% for the year.

Profitability & Margins: Adjusted EBITDA rose to EUR 820 million with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 24.6%, slightly below last year but above revised guidance, benefiting from lower raw material costs and a strong US dollar in Q4.

Cash Flow & CapEx: Free cash flow increased over 30% to EUR 290 million, while net CapEx including lease payments fell to 6.5% of revenue, below the 7% to 9% guidance range, aided by a one-off benefit.

2025 Outlook: For 2025, SIG guides for 3% to 5% revenue growth at constant currency and constant resin, an adjusted EBITDA margin of 24.5% to 25.5%, and net CapEx at 7% to 9% of revenue.

Regional Dynamics: Strong growth was seen in IMEA and Europe, while China remained weak and North America saw some recovery in H2 after operational challenges.

Legal & Board Changes: SIG faces arbitration over contingent consideration from the Scholle IPN deal, resulting in related board changes; no provision has been made as management does not expect the earn-out to be triggered for 2025.

Dividend Increase: Proposed dividend raised to CHF 0.49 per share, up from CHF 0.48 last year.

Sustainability Recognition: SIG achieved a first-time inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index and an upgrade to AAA in its MSCI ESG rating.
