WestRock reports fiscal 3Q 2022 results. WestRock Company's net sales increased $703 million, or 14.6%, year-over-year.

Net income increased $128 million year-over-year to $378 million. The impact of higher selling price/mix was partially offset by increased cost inflation, higher operating costs and lower volumes. Net income in the quarter was also impacted by a $26 million pre-tax non-cash mineral rights impairment that was largely offset by $19 million of insurance recoveries related to the fiscal 2021 ransomware incident and winter weather event. The insurance recoveries were primarily for business interruption costs and were recorded as a reduction of Cost of goods sold.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA increased $195 million, or 24.0%, year-over-year due to strength across the segments, primarily in the Global Paper and Consumer Packaging segments.

WestRock Company is a global manufacturer of differentiated paper and packaging solutions.
