Our Dispensing business remains advantaged in the marketplace as our unique combination of new product innovation, operational excellence, and our highly focused customer partnership model continue to be rewarded with incremental growth opportunities.

Our Metal Containers business continued to show strong growth in the quarter with double digit volume growth in pet food products despite significant inflation in raw material costs as a result of steel and aluminum tariffs. In Custom Containers, our teams successfully navigated the conclusion of customer destocking and closely managed costs to mitigate its impact on profit, and we are seeing incremental opportunities to drive long-term growth with new and existing customers in the market.

Our business is off to a solid start in 2026, and we are on track to deliver our increased financial targets for the year. The strength of our teams, the power of our portfolio, and the value of our disciplined capital deployment model continue to deliver meaningful opportunity for shareholder value creation in 2026 and beyond.
