Sonoco Products CFO Paul Joachimczyk bought additional company stock in the open market. He purchased 8,058 shares of Sonoco Products common stock in an open-market transaction at a price of $49.6399 per share. Following this purchase, he directly owns 28,558 shares of Sonoco Products common stock.
Sonoco Products Company reported mixed first quarter 2026 results. Net sales from continuing operations were $1.68 billion, down 1.9% year over year, mainly due to the prior divestiture of the ThermoSafe business, partially offset by pricing actions and favorable foreign exchange.
GAAP net income attributable to Sonoco rose to $67.6 million from $54.4 million, with diluted EPS up to $0.68 from $0.55, helped by lower taxes. However, adjusted net income declined to $119.4 million and adjusted EPS fell to $1.20 from $1.38, while adjusted EBITDA dropped 18.1% to $276.5 million, reflecting weaker volume/mix and divestitures.
The Consumer Packaging segment grew net sales 2.9% to $1.10 billion, but segment operating profit and adjusted EBITDA decreased. Industrial Paper Packaging net sales slipped to $579 million, with margin pressure from lower volumes and a fire at a recycling facility. Operating cash flow was a use of $(367.9) million, driven by seasonal working capital and about $103 million of one-time taxes on 2025 divestiture gains, leading to negative free cash flow of $(428.3) million.
For full-year 2026, Sonoco reaffirmed guidance for net sales of $7.25–$7.75 billion, adjusted EBITDA of $1.25–$1.35 billion, and operating cash flow of $700–$800 million, but now expects results at the low end of prior adjusted EPS guidance of $5.80–$6.20 due to inflation and softer demand.
