Ranpak Holdings Corp
Ranpak Holdings makes paper-based packaging for shipping and fulfillment. Its products include cushioning, void fill, wrapping, and cold-chain packaging systems that help protect goods in transit while using less plastic. The company sells to e-commerce warehouses, manufacturers, distributors, and logistics providers that need to pack and ship products safely and efficiently. Ranpak earns money in two main ways: by selling packaging machines and by selling the paper materials those machines use. That creates a recurring revenue stream because customers keep buying replacement paper after the equipment is installed. It also offers service and support for its systems, which helps keep its equipment running inside customer warehouses. What makes Ranpak different is that it sits between packaging and automation. It does not just sell boxes or paper; it sells machines that produce the right amount of protective packaging on demand. That makes it useful for large shipping operations that want faster packing, lower material waste, and a more paper-based alternative to foam and plastic.

Top line: Ranpak said first-quarter revenue grew 4.5% on a constant-currency basis, or 5.4% excluding warrants, helped by strong automation growth and solid volume trends in Europe and APAC.
Automation: Automation was the standout, rising 111% year over year on a constant-currency basis excluding warrants, and management said bookings and pipeline momentum are giving it more confidence in the business.
Margins: Gross margin improved 210 basis points to 43.1% excluding warrants and depreciation, and management said it expects about 200 basis points of gross margin improvement for the full year.
Europe: Europe outperformed expectations despite war-related uncertainty, with management citing better execution, stable demand so far, and a temporary surcharge to protect margins as paper input costs rise.
Outlook: Management kept its full-year outlook unchanged in tone, saying it feels very good about the business but does not want to keep tweaking guidance amid geopolitical uncertainty.
Cash flow: The company still expects roughly $15 million of free cash flow before debt paydown, with about $4 million to $5 million of working-capital use and around $35 million of CapEx implied for the year.
