Third quarter net sales of $2.1 billion reflect an increase of 57.3% 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 the effects of inflation and tariffs and from the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates.
GAAP operating profit for the third quarter increased to $195 million due to operating profit from our Metal Packaging EMEA business following the acquisition of Eviosys, a positive price/cost environment, solid productivity from certain procurement savings, production efficiencies, and fixed cost reduction initiatives, and the absence of losses on the sale of two production facilities in China. These positive factors were partially offset by a negative product mix in certain businesses and higher restructuring costs.
Effective tax rates on GAAP income from continuing operations before income taxes and adjusted income from continuing operations before income taxes, were 6.0% and 22.9%, respectively, in the third quarter, compared to 35.2% and 21.1%, respectively, in the same period in 2024.

“I’m incredibly proud of our team’s strong operating performance in the third quarter as we achieved record top-line and bottom-line performance along with margin expansion despite challenging market conditions and higher than expected interest costs, said Howard Coker, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our Consumer Packaging segment sales and operating profit each grew 117% and adjusted EBITDA increased by 112%. Most of the improvement came from the addition of Metal Packaging EMEA and improved results from our Metal Packaging U.S. business. Our Industrial Paper Packaging segment improved operating profit by 28%, adjusted EBITDA by 21%, operating profit margin by approximately 336 basis points and adjusted EBITDA margin by approximately 359 basis points driven by year-over-year improvement in price/cost and productivity.”

“In addition, we believe the recently announced sale of our ThermoSafe unit will substantially complete Sonoco’s transformation from a large portfolio of diversified businesses into a simplified structure with two core global business segments — Consumer Packaging and Industrial Paper Packaging. Proceeds from the sale, which is expected to close before year-end, are projected to further reduce Sonoco’s net leverage ratio.”

Paul Joachimczyk, Sonoco’s Chief Financial Officer, added, “We generated $292 million in operating cash flow in the quarter which was up 80% over the prior year period due to solid improvement in working capital. We expect further strong cash flow generation in the fourth quarter as the seasonal build of working capital reverses.”

Third 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								Nine Months Ended
Consumer	September 28, 2025			September 29, 2024			Change		September 28, 2025			September 29, 2024			Change

Net sales¹	$	1,438		$	662		117	%	$	3,732		$	1,827		104	%
Segment operating profit¹	$	209		$	96		117	%	$	510		$	229		123	%
Segment operating profit margin¹		15	%		15	%				14	%		13	%
Segment Adjusted EBITDA^{1, 2}	$	260		$	122		112	%	$	663		$	305		117	%
Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin^{1, 2}		18	%		18	%				18	%		17	%

Consumer segment net sales grew 117%, driven by sales attributable to Metal Packaging EMEA following the acquisition of Eviosys, price increases implemented to offset the effects of inflation and tariffs, and the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates. These increases were partially offset by softer volumes in the rigid paper and U.S. metal packaging businesses.
Segment operating profit and segment adjusted EBITDA grew primarily as a result of profits from Metal Packaging EMEA and a strong price/cost environment in our U.S. metal packaging business.

	Three Months Ended								Nine Months Ended
Industrial	September 28, 2025			September 29, 2024			Change		September 28, 2025			September 29, 2024			Change

Net sales	$	585		$	585		—	%	$	1,731		$	1,779		(3	)%
Segment operating profit	$	90		$	70		28	%	$	242		$	203		19	%
Segment operating profit margin		15	%		12	%				14	%		11	%
Segment Adjusted EBITDA²	$	123		$	102		21	%	$	337		$	295		14	%
Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin²		21	%		17	%				19	%		17	%

Industrial segment net sales remained flat at $585 million as volume declines across the segment and the loss of net sales related to the 2024 divestiture of two production facilities in China offset year-over-year price increases.
Segment operating profit margin increased to 15% and adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 21% due to price recovery 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								Nine Months Ended
All Other	September 28, 2025			September 29, 2024			Change		September 28, 2025			September 29, 2024			Change

Net sales	$	108		$	107		1	%	$	288		$	336		(14	)%
Operating profit	$	18		$	17		5	%	$	43		$	48		(11	)%
Operating profit margin		17	%		16	%				15	%		14	%

Adjusted EBITDA margin²		19	%		19	%				18	%		17	%

Net sales were relatively flat as volume gains in temperature-assured packaging were essentially offset by lower volume from industrial plastics.
Operating profit and adjusted EBITDA improved 5% and 2%, respectively, year over year as solid productivity from certain procurement savings, production efficiencies, and fixed cost reduction initiatives offset 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 $245 million as of September 28, 2025, compared to $443 million as of December 31, 2024, with the decrease primarily related to changes in net working capital and net debt reduction.
Total debt, including discontinued operations, and net debt were $5.2 billion and $4.9 billion, respectively, as of September 28, 2025, reflecting decreases of $1.9 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively, 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 in 2025 using proceeds from the sale of TFP.
On September 28, 2025, the Company had available liquidity of $1,405 million, comprising available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility of $1,160 million and cash on hand.
Cash flow from operating activities for the nine months ended September 28, 2025 was an inflow of $277 million, compared to an inflow of $438 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 year related to Metal Packaging EMEA. This working capital build is expected to reverse during the fourth quarter.
Capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sales of fixed assets, for the first nine months of 2025 were $248 million, compared to $267 million for the same period last year.
Free Cash Flow for the first nine months of 2025 was $29 million compared to $171 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 nine months ended September 28, 2025 increased to $156 million compared to $152 million in the same period of the prior year.

Guidance⁽¹⁾

Full-Year 2025

Adjusted EPS⁽²⁾: Adjusted to $5.65 to $5.75 per diluted share from previous guidance of approximately $6.00
Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾: $1,300 million to $1,350 million, substantially in line with previous guidance
Cash flow from operating activities: Adjusted to $700 million to $750 million from previous guidance of $800 million

Commenting on the Company’s outlook, Sonoco’s Joachimczyk said, “We are adjusting full-year earnings guidance in anticipation of continuing volume weakness in the fourth quarter especially from our Metal Packaging and Industrial EMEA businesses due to continuing difficult macroeconomic conditions. To address these shortfalls, we are implementing targeted restructuring activities for operations and supporting functions to enable our businesses to better leverage our market capabilities and generate strong cash flow.”

Coker concluded, “Looking ahead at the remainder of the year, our top priorities are to continue building momentum for growth and improving our competitive position by further reducing our cost structure. We believe both our Consumer and Industrial businesses have solid growth funnels with new product and market launches planned in 2026 and beyond. While we are disappointed that our projected 2025 results fall below our previous expectations, we believe Sonoco is in the best position in our history and we are excited about the market opportunity ahead of us to create long-term shareholder value with our focused, operating vision.”

⁽¹⁾Sonoco’s 2025 guidance includes actual first quarter results from the TFP business. Guidance excludes any impact from the planned divestiture of ThermoSafe in the fourth quarter. 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 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, 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; 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 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.

QUARTERLY RECONCILIATIONS OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The following tables reconcile the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three-month periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024.
