Quarterly net sales rose to $1.47bn, a 4% increase, influenced by higher raw material costs being contractually passed through and favourable shifts in currency exchange rates, according to the rigid packaging solutions provider.
Its dispensing and speciality closures segment generated $643.6m, up 1% from the prior year.
Metal containers saw an 11% revenue increase to $675.6m, driven by both price adjustments due to cost pass-throughs and increased sales volumes.
Custom containers’ revenue fell 8% to $149.4m, mainly owing to lower volumes during the quarter and the impact of exiting lower margin business as part of ongoing footprint optimisation and cost reduction plans.
For the full year 2025, Silgan’s net income was $288.4m, up from $276.4m in 2024.
Earnings per diluted share were $2.70, compared to $2.58 a year ago.
Annual net sales totalled $6.5bn, an 11% gain from $5.9bn the year before.
The dispensing and speciality closures segment contributed $2.7bn, up 17%, partly due to the acquisition of Weener Plastics and higher demand in fragrance and beauty dispensing products.
Metal containers generated $3.1bn in sales, an increase of 8%, while custom containers finished with $637.6m in net sales, down 2%.
Looking ahead to 2026, the group expects adjusted net income per diluted share between $3.7 and $3.9, a slight increase from the adjusted figure of $3.72 in 2025 at the midpoint of guidance.
Silgan president and CEO Adam Greenlee said: “Our 2025 results continued to highlight the meaningful progress from our key strategic initiatives, as we successfully integrated the Weener acquisition, continued to outpace market growth in our high-value dispensing and pet food products, and completed our multi-year cost savings programme.
“The Silgan team showed exceptional strength, drive and commitment in 2025 while adapting to a dynamic operating environment and continuing to compete and win in the marketplace by meeting the unique needs of our customers and being the best at what we do.
“As we begin 2026, our business fundamentals remain strong, as we continue to execute against our strategic priorities and demand for our portfolio of products for consumer staple end markets remains resilient and, in many cases, continues to grow.”
