From the latest earnings call

Updated

  • CEO Timothy Donahue said beverage can volumes grew across several regions, while higher input costs and lower transit packaging results offset much of the contribution.
  • CFO Kevin Clothier said Crown raised its adjusted free cash flow expectation because working capital was performing better than previously expected.
