Adjusted diluted EPS came in at $1.37, missing the $1.49 consensus estimate by 7.80%, while revenue of $1.91 billion trailed expectations by 0.51%, though it still represented a robust 17.7% increase year over year. The single biggest driver of the quarter was the completed Eviosys acquisition, which powered the Consumer Packaging segment's net sales up 110% to $1.23 billion and lifted segment adjusted EBITDA 115% to $213.00 million. Meanwhile, the April divestiture of the Thermoformed and Flexibles Packaging business generated a $425.00 million after-tax gain and enabled Sonoco to retire $1.50 billion in term loan borrowings, substantially reducing leverage. Looking ahead, management narrowed full-year adjusted EPS guidance to approximately $6.00, the low end of its prior range, citing macroeconomic pressures, tariff headwinds, and higher-than-expected interest costs, while keeping adjusted EBITDA guidance at $1.30 billion to $1.40 billion.
Key Takeaways
- • Eviosys acquisition adding Metal Packaging EMEA sales and profits
- • Strong U.S. Metal Packaging volume/mix growth exceeding 10%
- • $15 million in favorable productivity from procurement savings, production efficiencies, and fixed cost reductions
- • Positive price/cost environment including price increases to offset inflation and tariffs
- • Favorable foreign exchange rates impact on sales

“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.”
