Graphic Packaging Holding free cash flow growth trends
Over the last five reported fiscal years, free cash flow declined from $179.0M to −$81.0M, a net decrease of $260.0M. Graphic Packaging Holding's latest reported quarter, Q2 2026, generated $75.0M in free cash flow, an increase of 92.31% year over year.
What free cash flow means
Free cash flow is the cash a company generates from operations after capital expenditures. Positive FCF can fund dividends, buybacks, debt repayment, or reinvestment; negative FCF means capital spending exceeded operating cash flow for that period.
How free cash flow is calculated
TickerStat calculates free cash flow as SEC-reported operating cash flow minus capital expenditures. FCF margin equals free cash flow divided by revenue. Fiscal periods can differ from calendar years, so the tables include exact period-end dates.
