Second quarter net sales of $1.9 billion reflect an increase of 49.4% compared to the corresponding prior-year quarter, driven by sales added from our Metal Packaging Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") business following the December 4, 2024 acquisition of Titan Holdings I B.V. ("Eviosys"). Additionally, sales benefited from price increases implemented to offset inflation and tariffs and from the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates. Overall, the impact of changes in sales volumes (excluding the impact of the Eviosys acquisition) was essentially flat as solid Consumer Packaging segment volume growth was offset by year-over-year volume declines in Industrial Paper Packaging segment results.
GAAP operating profit for the second quarter increased to $176 million due to operating profit from our Metal Packaging EMEA business, a positive price/cost environment, lower restructuring costs, and strong productivity from certain procurement savings, production efficiencies, and fixed cost reduction initiatives. These positive factors were partially offset by a negative product mix in certain businesses.
Effective tax rates on GAAP net income attributable to Sonoco and adjusted net income attributable to Sonoco were 37.3% and 25.6%, respectively, in the second quarter, compared to 23.3% and 26.2%, respectively, in the same period in 2024.

"We continued to make progress on our transformation journey in the second quarter with the successful divestiture of TFP and the utilization of proceeds to substantially reduce leverage. We achieved strong growth in top-line and bottom-line performance along with margin expansion in the quarter even though results were impacted by global macroeconomic pressures and seasonal factors which affected consumer and industrial demand and higher than expected interest costs," said Howard Coker, Sonoco President and Chief Executive Officer. "Consumer Packaging segment sales grew 110% and adjusted EBITDA jumped 115%. Most of the improvement came from the addition of Metal Packaging EMEA (Eviosys acquisition) along with strong performance from our Metal Packaging U.S. business which achieved greater than 10% growth in volume/mix in the quarter. Our Industrial Paper Packaging segment improved adjusted EBITDA by 16% and EBITDA margin by approximately 300 basis points driven by year-over-year improvement in price/cost and productivity."

Second Quarter 2025 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"), with all remaining businesses reported as All Other.

	Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
Consumer	June 29, 2025			June 30, 2024			Change		June 29, 2025			June 30, 2024			Change

Net sales¹	$	1,227		$	583		110	%	$	2,294		$	1,165		97	%
Segment operating profit¹	$	160		$	74		117	%	$	301		$	132		128	%

Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin^{1, 2}		17	%		17	%				18	%		16	%

Consumer segment net sales grew 110%, driven by sales attributable to Metal Packaging EMEA following the acquisition of Eviosys, strong year-over-year volume growth in Metal Packaging U.S., and the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates.
Segment operating profit and segment adjusted EBITDA grew primarily as a result of profits from Metal Packaging EMEA, productivity improvements, and volume/mix gains in our U.S. metal packaging business.


	Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
Industrial	June 29, 2025			June 30, 2024			Change		June 29, 2025			June 30, 2024			Change

Net sales	$	588		$	601		(2	)%	$	1,146		$	1,194		(4	)%
Segment operating profit	$	81		$	67		21	%	$	152		$	133		15	%

Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin²		19	%		16	%				19	%		16	%

Industrial segment net sales decreased 2% to $588 million as volume declined across the segment, and the loss of net sales related to the 2024 divestiture of two production facilities in China was only partially offset by year-over-year price increases and the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates.
Segment operating profit margin increased to 14% and adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 19% due to the positive impact of price/cost and productivity from certain procurement savings, production efficiencies, and fixed cost reduction initiatives, which were only partially offset by lower volume/mix.

	Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
All Other	June 29, 2025			June 30, 2024			Change		June 29, 2025			June 30, 2024			Change

Adjusted EBITDA margin²		17	%		17	%				17	%		16	%

Net sales were flat as volume gains in temperature-assured packaging were essentially offset by lower volume from industrial plastics.
Operating profit and adjusted EBITDA both declined 5% year over year due to lower volumes from industrial plastics and negative price/cost.

¹Excludes results of discontinued operations.

²Segment and All Other 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.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

Cash and cash equivalents, including discontinued operations, were $330 million as of June 29, 2025, compared to $443 million as of December 31, 2024, with the decrease primarily related to changes in net working capital.
Total debt, including discontinued operations, and net debt were $5.4 billion and $5.1 billion, respectively, as of June 29, 2025, decreases of $(1.7) billion and $(1.5) billion compared to December 31, 2024, primarily related to the repayment of the outstanding $1.5 billion principal amount of borrowings under the Company's 364-day term loan facility at the beginning of the second quarter using proceeds from the sale of TFP.
On June 29, 2025, the Company had available liquidity of $1,225 million, comprising available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility of $895 million and cash on hand.
Cash flow from operating activities for the six months ended June 29, 2025 was an outflow of $(15) million, compared to an inflow of $275 million in the same period of 2024. The main driver of the year-over-year change in operating cash flow was the increased seasonal need for working capital during the first half of the calendar year related to Metal Packaging EMEA. This working capital build is expected to reverse during the second half of the year.
Capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sales of fixed assets, for the first half of 2025 were $186 million, compared to $179 million for the same period last year.
Free Cash Flow for the first six months of 2025 was $(201) million compared to $96 million for the same period of 2024. Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. See the Company's definition of Free Cash Flow, the explanation as to why it is used, and the reconciliation to net cash provided by operating activities later in this release.
Dividends paid during the first half of the year ended June 29, 2025 increased to $104 million compared to $101 million in the same period of the prior year.

Guidance⁽¹⁾

Full-Year 2025

Adjusted EPS⁽²⁾: target of approximately $6.00 or the lower end of previous guidance of $6.00 to $6.20
Cash flow from operating activities: target of approximately $800 million or the lower end of previous guidance of $800 million to $900 million
Adjusted EBITD⁽²⁾: $1,300 million to $1,400 million or in line with previous guidance

Commenting on the Company's outlook, Sonoco's Coker, said, "As we enter the second half of 2025, we are encouraged by our trajectory as we enter the busiest quarter of the year. We expect continued strong performance in our Consumer Packaging segment with our U.S. Metal Packaging operations capitalizing on commercial wins to organically grow above industry growth rates and with the continued integration of our new Metal Packaging EMEA operations which is projected to exceed our targeted synergy savings. Our iconic Rigid Paper Containers business is introducing new all-paper packaging for customers looking to differentiate their products on the shelf by exhibiting quality, sustainability and value. And our legacy Industrial Paper Packaging segment should have another strong quarter as it continues to benefit from improved market conditions while focusing on driving margin expansion through operational and commercial excellence initiatives.

"Finally, we remain mindful of external risks which are leading to global macroeconomic uncertainty that may affect our customers and consumers. We must remain flexible and focused on meeting the changing needs of our customers while consciously controlling costs, capital and reducing leverage while creating long-term value to our shareholders."

⁽¹⁾Sonoco's 2025 guidance includes actual first quarter results from the TFP business. Guidance excludes any impact of potential divestitures. 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 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 2025 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 or other assets, 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 ("GAAP"), 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 and other assets;
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, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Net Debt and Net Leverage. 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 and other assets; 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. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. Net debt is defined as the total of the Company's short and long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents. Net leverage is defined as Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA by segment 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 or other assets; 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 and the All Other group of businesses, 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.
