Q1 2024 Trading Update

Mondi plc, a global leader in the production of sustainable packaging and paper, today provides an update on trading for the three months to 31 March 2024 ("first quarter" or "Q1 2024").

In the first quarter of 2024, market conditions continued to improve with stronger order books leading to higher sales volumes across our range of paper grades compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 ("Q4 2023"). This was supported by a solid performance in our downstream converting operations. Average selling prices were lower compared to Q4 2023 however recently announced paper price increases are starting to come through in the second quarter. Costs remained broadly stable when compared to Q4 2023. Underlying EBITDA for the quarter was in line with our expectations at €214 million (Q4 2023: €260 million), which includes a one-off €32 million loss incurred in the period from the devaluation of the Egyptian pound.    

In Corrugated Packaging, containerboard sales volumes were higher compared to Q4 2023 and corrugated solutions delivered a stable performance. Flexible Packaging saw good sales volume growth which was largely offset by lower average selling prices. Uncoated Fine Paper benefited from price increases implemented in the quarter, however, a lower forestry fair value gain impacted comparative performance.

During the quarter, Mondi paid a €1.60 per share special dividend to shareholders, returning the net proceeds received from the sale of all the Group's Russian assets. The special dividend was accompanied by a share consolidation whereby shareholders received 10 new ordinary shares for every 11 existing ordinary shares held.

Andrew King, Chief Executive Officer, said: "Market demand has continued to improve in the first quarter of the year, with stronger order books leading to higher sales volumes across our range of paper grades. While we entered the year with lower selling prices compared to the prior year, improvements in demand have supported our initiatives to increase selling prices across the business. We remain well positioned to benefit from this growing demand with our strong operational leverage, broad product offering and organic growth investment projects, which remain on track and on budget."

Mondi Group - 2023 Final Dividend euro/sterling Exchange Rate

On 22 February 2024 Mondi plc announced that it will, subject to shareholder approval at the AGM, pay a final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2023 of 46.67 euro cents per ordinary share on Tuesday 14 May 2024. The dividend will be paid in euro.

However, ordinary shareholders resident in the United Kingdom will receive the final dividend in sterling (unless shareholders have elected to receive their dividends in euro). The last date for euro currency elections was 19 April 2024. It was stated in the announcement on 22 February that the exchange rate for the final dividend payment would be set today. Accordingly, it is confirmed that sterling dividend payments will be converted at a rate of EUR 1 to GBP 0.86262. Therefore, the equivalent final dividend in pence per ordinary share will be 40.25848.

Mondi plc South African branch register shareholders will receive the final dividend in South African rand cents, converted at a rate of EUR 1 to ZAR 20.50179. Therefore, the equivalent gross final dividend in rand cents per ordinary share will be 956.81854.

Information relating to the dividend tax applicable to Mondi plc South African branch register shareholders can be found in the ZAR/euro exchange rate announcement released by Mondi on 22 February 2024.
