Current report
Net Sales. In the second quarter of 2026, consolidated net sales were $1.6 billion, an increase of $104.1 million, or 6.8 percent, as compared to the second quarter of 2025 primarily due to the contractual pass through of higher raw material and other manufacturing costs, the impact from favorable foreign currency translation of approximately $16.0 million and a more favorable mix of products sold in the custom containers segment, partially offset by a less favorable mix of products sold in the dispensing and specialty closures and metal containers segments and lower volumes in the dispensing and specialty closures and custom containers segments.

Income before Interest and Income Taxes. In the second quarter of 2026, income before interest and income taxes decreased by $16.5 million to $151.0 million as compared to $167.5 million in the second quarter of 2025, and margins decreased to 9.2 percent from 10.9 percent over the same periods. The decrease in income before interest and income taxes was primarily the result of a less favorable mix of products sold in the dispensing and specialty closures and metal containers segments, higher rationalization charges, higher expenses for corporate development activities and lower volumes in the dispensing and specialty closures and custom containers segments, partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign currency and a more favorable mix of products sold in the custom containers segment.

Current report
In the second quarter of 2026, net sales for the dispensing and specialty closures segment increased $11.7 million, or 1.7 percent, as compared to the second quarter of 2025.

In the second quarter of 2026, adjusted EBIT of the metal containers segment decreased $4.9 million as compared to the second quarter of 2025, and adjusted EBIT margin decreased to 8.6 percent from 10.5 percent for the same periods. The decrease in adjusted EBIT was primarily due to a less favorable mix of products sold due to higher unit volumes for pet food markets and lower unit volumes for fruit and vegetable markets and soup markets. Adjusted EBIT margin was negatively impacted by the mathematical consequence of passing through higher raw material costs during the second quarter of 2026.
Current report
In the first six months of 2026, adjusted EBIT of the metal containers segment decreased $4.6 million as compared to the first six months of 2025, and adjusted EBIT margin decreased to 7.8 percent from 9.2 percent for the same periods.

For our suppliers, we believe that we negotiate the best terms possible, including payment terms. In connection therewith, we initiated a SCF program with a major global financial institution. Under this SCF program, a qualifying supplier may elect, but is not obligated, to sell its receivables from us to such financial institution. A participating supplier negotiates its receivables sale arrangements directly with the financial institution under this SCF program. While we are not party to, and do not participate in the negotiation of, such arrangements, such financial institution allows a participating supplier to utilize our creditworthiness in establishing a credit spread in respect of the sale of its receivables from us as well as other applicable terms. This may provide a supplier with more favorable terms than it would be able to secure on its own. We have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to sell a receivable. Once a qualifying supplier elects to participate in this SCF program and reaches an agreement with the financial institution, the supplier independently elects which individual invoices to us that they sell to the financial institution. All of our payments to a participating supplier are paid to the financial institution on the invoice due date under our agreement with such supplier, regardless of whether the individual invoice was sold by the supplier to the financial institution. The financial institution then pays the supplier on the invoice due date under our agreement with such supplier for any invoices not previously sold by the supplier to the financial institution. Amounts due to a supplier that elects to participate in this SCF program are included in accounts payable in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, and the associated payments are reflected in net cash provided by operating activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Separate from this SCF program, we and suppliers who participate in this SCF program generally maintain the contractual right to require the other party to negotiate in good faith the existing payment terms as a result of changes in market conditions, including changes in interest rates and general market liquidity, or in some cases for any reason. Outstanding trade accounts payables subject to this SCF program were approximately $357.6 million, $262.9 million and $438.5 million at March 31, 2026 and 2025 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Excluding the impact of our withdrawal from the Central States Pension Plan in 2019, remaining expenses and cash expenditures for our rationalization plans are expected to be $18.1 million and $38.1 million, respectively. Remaining expenses for the accretion of interest for the withdrawal liability related to the Central States Pension Plan are expected to average approximately $0.7 million per year and be recognized annually through 2040, and remaining cash expenditures for the withdrawal liability related to the Central States Pension Plan are expected to be approximately $2.6 million annually through 2040.

In the second quarter of 2026, net sales for the custom containers segment increased $4.6 million, or 2.9 percent, as compared to the second quarter of 2025. This increase was principally due to the pass through of higher raw material and other manufacturing costs and a more favorable mix of products sold, partially offset by lower volumes of approximately four percent primarily from the exit of lower margin business in late 2025 as a result of footprint optimization plans to achieve previously announced cost reduction goals.
