ACCO Brands highlighted the success of its multi-year cost reduction program, which has resulted in over $40 million in savings.
The financial results for the second quarter showed a 9.9% decrease in net sales compared to the previous year, primarily due to disruptions from tariffs and softer global demand. However, the company saw growth in gaming accessories, which partially offset the decline. Operating income improved significantly to $33 million from a loss in the previous year, benefiting from asset sales and cost savings. Net income was $29.2 million, a notable turnaround from the prior year’s loss.
Looking ahead, ACCO Brands expects a moderate improvement in sales in the third quarter as economies stabilize and the dollar weakens. The company is optimistic about its new product development pipeline and continues to focus on disciplined cost management and operational optimization to enhance long-term shareholder value.
ACCO Brands remains cautiously optimistic about the future, with expectations of improved trends in the second half of the year.
