Second quarter 2026 net sales of $1.9 billion were down (1.3)% compared to the corresponding prior-year quarter, driven primarily by the November 3, 2025 divestiture of the ThermoSafe business. Additionally, net sales benefited from higher prices implemented to offset the effects of inflation and tariffs and from the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates, partially offset by lower volume/mix.

GAAP operating profit for the second quarter was up 9.8% to $193 million compared to the corresponding prior-year quarter, due to productivity savings from fixed cost reduction initiatives and procurement savings. These positive factors were offset by the absence of operating profit from the divested ThermoSafe business and lower volume/mix.

Effective tax rates on GAAP income from continuing operations before income taxes and adjusted income from continuing operations before income taxes, were 27.8% and 23.8%, respectively, in the second quarter, compared to 37.3% and 25.6%, respectively, in the same period in 2025.

"Our Sonoco team delivered solid second quarter results that met our expectations and exceeded consensus estimates as productivity and cost control initiatives helped offset global inflation headwinds stemming from higher logistics, chemicals, resins and other raw material costs," said Howard Coker, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Results from our Industrial Paper Packaging segment exceeded expectations with operating profit up 4% during the period and up 29% from the first quarter. The Industrial segment improvement was primarily driven by productivity gains which more than offset price/cost headwinds. North America URB trade tons grew 6% which boosted mill utilization to 95%, while the segment’s volume/mix was flat. Our Consumer Packaging segment operating profit declined approximately 5% during the period but was up 22% sequentially from the first quarter. Productivity and cost containment initiatives boosted Consumer segment results. Paper can volumes were up 9% in EMEA/APAC due to rising snack demand, but overall segment volumes were down 1.8% driven primarily by lower metal aerosol cans and adhesive and sealant tube demand."

Paul Joachimczyk, Sonoco’s Chief Financial Officer, added, "Our businesses continue to demonstrate tremendous cash-generating capabilities, delivering a record second-quarter operating cash flow of $301 million and free cash flow of $237 million, increases of 56% and 139%, respectively, compared to the prior year. These results reflect disciplined working capital management and the earnings power of our portfolio. Year-to-date operating cash flow includes approximately $103 million of one-time tax payments related to gains from our 2025 divestitures, highlighting that our underlying cash flow performance is strong and supports our confidence in reaffirming full-year guidance."

Second Quarter 2026 Segment Results

(Dollars in millions except per share data)

Sonoco reports its financial results in two reportable segments: Consumer Packaging ("Consumer") and Industrial Paper Packaging ("Industrial").

As previously announced, effective January 1, 2026, results of the Company’s industrial and specialty plastics business ("Industrial Plastics"), the only business remaining in the All Other group of businesses following the November 2025 divestiture of ThermoSafe, are now included in the Industrial segment. Therefore, the Company no longer provides results of the All Other group of businesses.

	Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
Consumer	June 28, 2026			June 29, 2025			Change		June 28, 2026			June 29, 2025			Change

Net sales¹	$	1,242		$	1,227		1.2	%	$	2,339		$	2,294		2.0	%
Segment operating profit¹	$	152		$	160		(5.4)%		$	277		$	301		(7.9)%

Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin^{1, 2}		16.6	%		17.4	%				16.4	%		17.6	%

Consumer segment net sales grew 1.2%, reflecting successful pricing actions to recover inflation and tariff-related costs, along with favorable foreign exchange. Volume trends remained below prior-year levels.
Solid manufacturing productivity improvements and disciplined cost management helped mitigate the impact of softer volumes on segment operating profit and adjusted EBITDA.

	Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended

Industrial segment net sales increased 4.2% to $643 million, reflecting successful pricing actions and favorable foreign exchange.
Segment operating profit margin remained resilient at 13.9%, consistent with the prior year, while adjusted EBITDA margin of 19.0% benefited from strong productivity initiatives related to procurement savings and fixed cost reduction that helped offset higher raw material, freight and other operating costs.

¹Excludes results of discontinued operations.

²Segment adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures. See the Company’s reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures later in this release.

³ Net sales, segment operating profit, and segment adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 29, 2025 include results from Industrial Plastics of $29 million, $5 million, and $6 million, respectively, previously included in All Other, to provide clearer year-over-year comparisons.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

The Company maintained strong liquidity of $1.3 billion at June 28, 2026, consisting of $1.1 billion of available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility and cash on hand.
Cash and cash equivalents were $169 million as of June 28, 2026, compared to $378 million, as of December 31, 2025.
Total debt and net debt were $4.5 billion and $4.3 billion, respectively, as of June 28, 2026, primarily reflecting seasonal working capital requirements within the Company's metal packaging business.
Cash flow from operating activities for the period ended June 28, 2026 was a use of $(67) million, compared to a use of $(15) million in the same period of 2025. The main drivers of the year-over-year change in operating cash flow were a one-time payment of taxes in 2026 on the gains from the 2025 divestitures of the TFP and ThermoSafe businesses and the seasonal need for working capital for the Company’s metal packaging business.
Capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sales of fixed assets, for 2026 were $124 million, compared to $186 million last year.
Free Cash Flow for the period ended June 28, 2026 improved to $(191) million compared to $(201) million in the same period in 2025, reflecting the factors impacting operating cash flow discussed above.
The Company returned $106 million to shareholders through dividends during the first half of 2026, compared to $104 million in the prior year period.

Guidance⁽¹⁾

Full-Year 2026

Net Sales: $7.25 billion to $7.75 billion, in line with previous guidance
Adjusted EPS⁽²⁾: Maintaining annual adjusted EPS guidance of $5.80 to $6.20 per diluted share and continuing to expect results toward the low end of the range
Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾: Guidance of $1.25 billion to $1.35 billion is unchanged from previous guidance
Cash flow from operating activities: Guidance remains unchanged at $700 million to $800 million, including the effect of payments of prior year taxes on gains from divestitures and restructuring costs

Commenting on Sonoco’s outlook, Howard Coker said, "Entering the second half of the year we are encouraged that several key indicators are strengthening in our favor as we begin our busiest period of the year. Demand for our URB in North America is very strong as a result of entering new markets, such as saturating URB for laminated products, along with share gains that have expanded our backlogs and require that we import paper from our Europe and Latin America mills through the third quarter. In our Consumer segment, projected paper can growth in Europe, Asia, and South America has us exploring additional capacity expansion plans while customer promotions and new product launches are projected to lift both paper and metal can volumes as we enter the important seasonal pack season in both the U.S. and EMEA. While we remain mindful of external macroeconomic risks, we are confident in our strategy, portfolio and ability to execute through economic cycles."

Joachimczyk added, "As pricing actions and contract resets take effect, we expect improved margin performance across our portfolio. Combined with ongoing productivity initiatives, disciplined cost management and execution of our profitability performance plan, we remain confident in achieving our long-term goal of improving margins by 200 basis points by the end of 2028."

⁽¹⁾Although the Company believes the assumptions reflected in the range of guidance are reasonable, given the uncertainty regarding the future performance of the overall economy, the effects of tariffs, trade policy and inflation, the challenges in global supply chains, potential changes in raw material prices, other costs, and the Company’s effective tax rate, as well as other risks and uncertainties, including those related to the integration of Eviosys and described below, actual results could vary substantially. Further information can be found in the section entitled "Forward-looking Statements" in this release.

⁽²⁾Full year 2026 GAAP guidance is not provided in this release due to the likely occurrence of one or more of the following, the timing and magnitude of which we are unable to reliably forecast without unreasonable efforts: restructuring costs and restructuring-related impairment charges, acquisition/divestiture-related costs, gains or losses from the sale of businesses and the income tax effects of these items and/or other income tax-related events. These items could have a significant impact on the Company’s future GAAP financial results. Accordingly, quantitative reconciliations of Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA guidance and net debt/Adjusted EBITDA targets to the nearest comparable GAAP measures have been omitted in reliance on the exception provided by Item 10 of Regulation S-K.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company’s results, determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are referred to as "as reported" or "GAAP" results. The Company uses certain financial performance measures, both internally and externally, that are not in conformity with GAAP (referred to as "non-GAAP financial measures") to assess and communicate the financial performance of the Company. These non-GAAP financial measures, which are identified using the term "Adjusted" (for example, "Adjusted Operating Profit," "Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Sonoco," and "Adjusted Diluted EPS"), reflect adjustments to the Company’s GAAP operating results to exclude amounts, including the associated tax effects where applicable, relating to:

restructuring/asset impairment charges¹;
acquisition, integration and divestiture-related costs;
gains or losses from the divestiture of businesses;
losses from the early extinguishment of debt;
non-operating pension costs;
amortization expense on acquisition intangibles;
changes in last-in, first-out ("LIFO") inventory reserves;
certain income tax events and adjustments;
derivative gains/losses;
other non-operating income and losses; and
certain other items, if any.

¹Restructuring and restructuring-related asset impairment charges are a recurring item as the Company’s restructuring programs usually require several years to fully implement, and the Company is continually seeking to take actions that could enhance its efficiency. Although recurring, these charges are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period due to the varying levels of restructuring activity, the inherent imprecision in the estimates used to recognize the impairment of assets, and the wide variety of costs and taxes associated with severance and termination benefits in the countries in which the restructuring actions occur.

The Company’s management believes the exclusion of the amounts related to the above-listed items improves the period-to-period comparability and analysis of the underlying financial performance of the business.

In addition to the "Adjusted" results described above, the Company also uses Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Net Debt. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding the following: interest expense; interest income; provision for income taxes; depreciation and amortization expense; non-operating pension costs; net income/loss attributable to noncontrolling interests; restructuring/asset impairment charges; changes in LIFO inventory reserves; gains/losses from the divestiture of businesses; acquisition, integration and divestiture-related costs; other income; derivative gains/losses; and other non-GAAP adjustments, if any, that may arise from time to time. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is defined as segment operating profit plus depreciation and amortization expense and equity in earnings of affiliates, net of tax. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Segment Adjusted EBITDA divided by segment net sales. Net Debt is defined as the total of the Company’s short and long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to the closest GAAP measure of segment profitability, segment operating profit as the Company does not calculate net income by segment. Segment operating profit is the measure of segment profit or loss reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 280 - "Segment Reporting," as prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.

Segment results, which are reviewed by the Company’s management to evaluate segment performance, do not include the following: restructuring/asset impairment charges; amortization of acquisition intangibles; acquisition, integration and divestiture-related costs; changes in LIFO inventory reserves; gains/losses from the sale of businesses; gains/losses from derivatives; or certain other items, if any, the exclusion of which the Company believes improves the comparability and analysis of the ongoing operating performance of the business. Accordingly, the term "segment operating profit" is defined as the segment’s portion of "operating profit" excluding those items. All other general corporate expenses have been allocated as operating costs to each of the Company’s reportable segments, except for costs related to discontinued operations.

The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with, nor are they an alternative for, measures conforming to GAAP, and they may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles.

The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors with information to evaluate Sonoco’s operating results in a manner similar to how management evaluates business performance. The Company consistently applies its non-GAAP financial measures presented herein and uses them for internal planning and forecasting purposes, to evaluate its ongoing operations, and to evaluate the ultimate performance of management and each business unit against plans/forecasts. In addition, these same non-GAAP financial measures are used in determining incentive compensation for the entire management team and in providing earnings guidance to the investing community.

Material limitations associated with the use of such measures include that they do not reflect all period costs included in operating expenses and may not be comparable with similarly named financial measures of other companies. Furthermore, the calculations of these non-GAAP financial measures are based on subjective determinations of management regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances that the investor may find material and view differently.

To compensate for any limitations in such non-GAAP financial measures, management believes that it is useful in evaluating the Company’s results to review both GAAP information, which includes all of the items impacting financial results, and the related non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain elements, as described above. Further, Sonoco management does not, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider any non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Whenever reviewing a non-GAAP financial measure, investors are encouraged to review and consider the related reconciliation to understand how it differs from the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Free Cash Flow

The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measure of "Free Cash Flow," which it defines as cash flow from operations minus net capital expenditures. Net capital expenditures are defined as capital expenditures minus proceeds from the disposition of capital assets. Free Cash Flow may not represent the amount of cash flow available for general discretionary use because it excludes non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt repayments and required settlements of recorded and/or contingent liabilities not reflected in cash flow from operations.
