Global Shipments Growth 5% growth year-over-year, driven by strong volume growth in the Americas and resilience across markets despite macroeconomic uncertainties.
Adjusted EBITDA Growth 18% growth year-over-year, attributed to strong performance in the Americas and favorable customer portfolio exposure to growing categories.
Europe Revenue Increased by 9% to $615 million (4% on a constant currency basis) year-over-year, due to volume growth and pass-through of higher input costs to customers.
Europe Adjusted EBITDA Decreased by 3% to $77 million (6% on a constant currency basis) year-over-year, due to headwinds from input costs, falling aluminum prices, and higher aluminum conversion costs, partially offset by volume growth and lower operational costs.

Americas Adjusted EBITDA Increased by 34% to $133 million year-over-year, due to favorable volume growth, category mix, and lower operating costs.

Additionally, capacity constraints in certain geographies and can sizes during the summer season limited growth.
Americas Segment Challenges: In Brazil, while beverage can shipments increased, the overall industry backdrop is expected to soften in the second half of the year, potentially impacting growth. Additionally, the higher Midwest premium in the U.S. contributed to increased input costs.
