ACCO BRANDS Corp

ACCO Brands reported second-quarter 2026 results with net sales increasing 5.1% to $415.1 million and adjusted diluted EPS rising 3.6% to $0.29. The company raised its full-year 2026 sales and adjusted EPS outlook, citing strong performance in the Americas segment and progress on the EPOS acquisition integration. However, GAAP diluted EPS decreased significantly to $0.15, and the International segment experienced softness and shipment disruptions.

ACCO Brands Corporation stockholders approved the third amendment to the 2022 Incentive Plan at its 2026 Annual Meeting. This amendment increases the number of shares available for future grants by 4,100,000 and eliminates the fungible share counting ratio for new awards. Stockholders also re-elected nine directors, ratified KPMG LLP as the independent auditor, and approved executive compensation.

ACCO Brands reported a net income of $19.4 million for Q1 2026, a significant turnaround from a net loss of $13.2 million in Q1 2025. This positive shift was primarily driven by a $37.6 million preliminary bargain purchase gain from the acquisition of EPOS. Net sales also saw an increase to $343.7 million, although restructuring expenses rose to $6.7 million.

ACCO Brands reported a solid first quarter for 2026, with net sales increasing 8.3% to $343.7 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.02, both exceeding the company's outlook. The results were positively impacted by the EPOS acquisition and favorable foreign exchange, despite declines in comparable sales for office product categories. The company reaffirmed its full-year 2026 outlook, expecting sales to be flat to up 3.0% and adjusted EPS between $0.84 and $0.89, while also progressing well with the EPOS integration and cost reduction program.
