Company Guidance
During the Sonoco Third Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call, the company reported remarkable financial performance despite challenging market conditions. Net sales surged by 57%, and adjusted EBITDA increased by 37%, reaching a record margin of 18.1%. The Consumer Packaging segment exhibited substantial growth, with sales and operating profit up by 117% and adjusted EBITDA up by 112%, driven by the addition of Metal Packaging EMEA and robust performance in the U.S. food can business, which saw a 5% volume increase. The Industrial Packaging segment also performed strongly, with operating profits rising by 28% and adjusted EBITDA up by 21%, marking the eighth consecutive quarter of margin improvement. Additionally, Sonoco entered an agreement to sell its ThermoSafe business for up to $725 million, anticipating a reduction in its net leverage ratio to approximately 3.4x. Looking ahead, Sonoco narrowed its full-year guidance, projecting net sales between $7.8 billion and $7.9 billion and adjusted EBITDA between $1.3 billion and $1.35 billion, while expecting adjusted EPS of $5.65 to $5.75. The company also outlined plans to optimize its operations and reduce support function costs, with significant savings and value capture expected from its simplified portfolio structure.
Record Top and Bottom Line Performance
