Sonoco Products Company reported second-quarter 2025 consolidated net sales of $1.91 billion, a significant 49% increase year-over-year, excluding the divested TFP business. Adjusted EBITDA grew 25% to $328 million, with the adjusted EBITDA margin expanding by 100 basis points to 17.2%.

Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) increased 7% year-over-year to $1.37. The Consumer Packaging segment was a primary growth engine, with net sales increasing 110% and operating profit surging 117.4%, largely driven by the Metal Packaging EMEA (Eviosys acquisition) and strong volume/mix gains in the U.S. metal business.

The Industrial Paper Packaging segment also demonstrated operational resilience, with operating profit increasing 21.3% and adjusted EBITDA margins expanding to 19.2%. Sonoco reaffirmed its full-year 2025 guidance and noted that proceeds from the TFP divestiture were used to substantially reduce leverage, strengthening the balance sheet.
