This guidance reaffirmation is attributable to performance in-line with expectations for the fiscal fourth quarter in both Paper Packaging & Services (PPS) and Global Industrial Packaging (GIP). GIP volumes remained soft in all regions and most end markets during the quarter, with no positive volume inflections through October; the GIP business also faced a less favorable price / cost dynamic in Q4 as falling steel costs and the continued volume softness pressured margins. The PPS business experienced continued converting and mill volume weakness, both down mid-single digits year-over-year through the fourth quarter despite improved containerboard volumes in October, in addition to sequentially lower published RISI pricing and rising OCC costs.
The Company will report its fiscal fourth quarter 2023 financial results after the market closes on Wednesday, December 6, 2023. A conference call will be held on Thursday, December 7, 2023, at 8:30 a.m. ET. Conference call details are available at https://investor.greif.com/.

1. Fiscal 2023 Adjusted EBITDA guidance on a GAAP basis is not provided in this release due to the potential for one or more of the following, the timing and magnitude of which we are unable to reliably forecast: restructuring-related activities; integration related costs; non-cash pension settlement charges; non-cash asset impairment charges due to unanticipated changes in the business; gains or losses on the disposal of businesses or properties, plants and equipment, net. No reconciliation of the fiscal 2023 Adjusted EBITDA guidance, a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes restructuring charges, integration costs, non-cash asset impairment charges, non-cash pension settlement charges, (gain) loss on the disposal of properties, plants, equipment and businesses, net, is included in this release because, due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the excluded information, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible, we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable efforts.
