Results from our Industrial Paper Packaging segment exceeded expectations with operating profit up 4% during the period and up 29% from the first quarter. The Industrial segment improvement was primarily driven by productivity gains which more than offset price/cost headwinds. North America URB trade tons grew 6% which boosted mill utilization to 95%, while the segment's volume/mix was flat. Our Consumer Packaging segment operating profit declined approximately 5% during the period but was up 22% sequentially from the first quarter. Productivity and cost containment initiatives -more- Sonoco Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results - Page 3 boosted Consumer segment results. Paper can volumes were up 9% in EMEA/APAC due to rising snack demand, but overall segment volumes were down 1.8% driven primarily by lower metal aerosol cans and adhesive and sealant tube demand.
