Safe Harbor Statement

This Quarterly Report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, which are not statements of historical fact, contain estimates, assumptions, projections and/or expectations regarding future events, which may or may not occur. Words such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “foresee,” “guidance,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “objective,” “plan,” “potential,” “project,” “seek,” “shall,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would,” or variations thereof, and other expressions that refer to future events and trends, identify forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements, and financial or other business targets, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause our actual results to differ materially from the expected results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

We believe that the most significant risk factors that could affect our financial performance in the near term include: (i) the impact on underlying demand for our products from global economic conditions, tariffs, geopolitical uncertainty, and changes in environmental standards, regulations, and preferences; (ii) competitors’ actions, including pricing, expansion in key markets, and product offerings; (iii) the cost and availability of raw materials; (iv) the degree to which higher costs can be offset with productivity measures and/or passed on to customers through price increases, without a significant loss of volume; (v) foreign currency fluctuations; and (vi) the execution and integration of acquisitions.

Certain risks and uncertainties are discussed in more detail under “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 25, 2026, and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Actual results and trends may differ materially from historical or anticipated results depending on a variety of factors, including but not limited to, risks and uncertainties related to the following:

•International Operations – worldwide economic, social, geopolitical and market conditions; changes in geopolitical conditions, including those related to trade relations and tariffs, China, recent conflicts involving the U.S., Israel and Iran and related hostilities in the Middle East, the Russia-Ukraine war, the Israel-Hamas war; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; and other risks associated with international operations, including in emerging markets

•Our Business – fluctuations in demand affecting sales to customers; fluctuations in the cost and availability of raw materials and energy; changes in our markets due to competitive conditions, technological developments, laws and regulations, and customer preferences; environmental regulations and sustainability trends; the impact of competitive products and pricing; the execution and integration of acquisitions; selling prices; customer and supplier concentrations or consolidations; the financial condition of distributors; outsourced manufacturers; product and service quality claims; restructuring and other cost reduction actions; our ability to generate sustained productivity improvement and our ability to achieve and sustain targeted cost reductions; the timely development and market acceptance of new products, including sustainable or sustainably-sourced products; our investment in development activities and new production facilities; the collection of receivables from customers; and our sustainability and governance practices

•Information Technology – disruptions in information technology systems; cybersecurity events or other security breaches; and successful installation of new or upgraded information technology systems

•Income Taxes – fluctuations in tax rates; changes in tax laws and regulations, and uncertainties associated with interpretations of such laws and regulations; outcome of tax audits; and the realization of deferred tax assets

•Human Capital – recruitment and retention of employees and collective labor arrangements

•Our Indebtedness – our ability to obtain adequate financing arrangements and maintain access to capital; credit rating risks; fluctuations in interest rates; and compliance with our debt covenants

•Ownership of Our Stock – potential significant variability of our stock price and amounts of future dividends and share repurchases

•Legal and Regulatory Matters – protection and infringement of our intellectual property; the impact of legal and regulatory proceedings, including with respect to anti-corruption, environmental, health and safety, and trade compliance

•Other Financial Matters – fluctuations in pension costs and goodwill impairment

Our forward-looking statements are made only as of the filing date of this Form 10-Q. We assume no duty to update these forward-looking statements to reflect new, changed or unanticipated events or circumstances, other than as may be required by law.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. General

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are presented as permitted by Article 10 of Regulation S-X and do not contain certain information included in the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which should be read in conjunction with this report. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of our interim results. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or any future period. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect our current estimates and assumptions affecting (i) our reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures as of the date of the financial statements and (ii) our reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting periods presented.

Fiscal Periods

The three and six months ended June 30, 2026 consisted of 91 and 181 days, respectively, and the three and six months ended June 28, 2025 consisted of 91 and 182 days, respectively.

Our 2026 fiscal year is coincident with the calendar year, beginning on January 1 and ending on December 31; our 2025 fiscal year began on December 29, 2024 and ended on December 31, 2025.

Note 2. Goodwill and Other Intangibles Resulting from Business Acquisitions

Changes in the net carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2026 by reportable segment are shown below.


(In millions)	Materials Group		Solutions Group		Total

Note 3. Debt

The estimated fair value of our long-term debt is primarily based on the credit spread above U.S. Treasury securities or euro government bond securities, as applicable, on notes with similar rates, credit ratings and remaining maturities. The fair value of short-term borrowings, which include commercial paper issuances and short-term lines of credit, approximates their carrying value given the short duration of these obligations. The fair value of our total debt was $3.60 billion at June 30, 2026 and $3.67 billion at December 31, 2025. Fair value was determined based primarily on Level 2 inputs, which are inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable.

Our $1.20 billion revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) contains a financial covenant requiring that we maintain a specified ratio of total debt minus unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in excess of $50 million to a certain measure of income. As of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with this financial covenant. No balance was outstanding under the Revolver as of June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

Note 4. Cost Reduction Actions

2026 Actions

We recorded $34.7 million in restructuring charges during the six months ended June 30, 2026 related to our 2026 actions. These charges consisted of severance and related costs for the reduction of approximately 600 positions, as well as asset impairment charges, at various locations across our company related to actions taken to optimize our operational footprint and workforce headcount.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, restructuring charges and payments were as follows:


(In millions)	Accrual at December 31, 2025		Charges, Net of Reversals		Cash Payments		Non-cash Impairment		Foreign Currency Translation		Accrual at June 30, 2026
2026 Actions
Severance and related costs	$	—	$	31.0	$	(20.1)	$	—	$	(.1)	$	10.8
Asset impairment charges	—		3.1		—		(3.1)		—		—
Lease cancellation charges	—		.6		(.3)		—		—		.3
2025 Actions
Severance and related costs	14.4		(.3)		(5.6)		—		(.2)		8.3












Total	$	14.4	$	34.4	$	(26.0)	$	(3.1)	$	(.3)	$	19.4

Accruals for severance and related costs, as well as lease cancellation charges, were included in “Other current liabilities” and “Long-term retirement benefits and other liabilities” in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Asset impairment charges were based on the estimated market value of the assets, less selling costs, if applicable. Restructuring charges were included in “Other expense (income), net” in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The table below shows the amount of restructuring charges, net of reversals, incurred by reportable segment and Corporate.


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
(In millions)	June 30, 2026		June 28, 2025		June 30, 2026		June 28, 2025

Note 5. Financial Instruments

We use various derivative financial instruments to manage risks in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates. We recognize derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 9, “Fair Value Measurements,” to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Fair Value Hedges

We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge our euro-denominated debt to offset changes in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to foreign currency risk. As of June 30, 2026, the foreign currency forward contracts hedging our €500 million of senior notes due in the third quarter of 2035 and €500 million of senior notes due in the fourth quarter of 2034 mature in September and December 2026, respectively.

Cash Flow Hedges

We entered into U.S. dollar to euro cross-currency swap contracts with a total notional amount of $250 million to effectively convert our fixed-rate U.S. dollar-denominated debt to euro-denominated debt, including semiannual interest payments and the payment of principal at maturity. During the term of the contracts, which end on April 30, 2030, we pay fixed-rate interest in euros and receive fixed-rate interest in U.S. dollars.

We designate commodity forward contracts on forecasted purchases of commodities, as well as certain foreign currency forward contracts on forecasted transactions, as cash flow hedges.

Net Investment Hedges

We enter into foreign currency contracts and zero-cost collars, which are combined as net investment hedges for accounting purposes. These net investment hedges minimize the effect of foreign currency exchange rates on our net investment in certain foreign operations between the sold put strike and bought call strike rates of the contracts. As of June 30, 2026, the notional amount of these hedges was €1.0 billion, consisting of two €500 million tranches that mature in September and December 2026.

We enter into cross-currency swap contracts and zero-cost collars, which are also combined as net investment hedges for accounting purposes. These net investment hedges minimize the effect of foreign currency exchange rates on our net investment in certain foreign operations between the sold put strike and bought call strike rates of the contracts. These cross-currency swap contracts and zero-cost collars mature in February 2036 and 2027, respectively.

Other Derivatives

We enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce the risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations associated with our receivables, payables, loans and firm commitments denominated in certain foreign currencies that arise primarily as a result of our operations outside the U.S. The impact of these foreign currency exchange contracts on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements was not material.

Foreign currency forward contracts - Marketing, general and administrative expense	$	(7.5)	$	46.4	$	(34.0)	$	66.3

The impact of the hedged items associated with the derivatives in the table above is recorded to the same income statement line as the derivative instrument. The net gains (losses) recognized in income related to our cross-currency swap contracts and commodity contracts were not material to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 28, 2025.

We recognized gains in translation for the net investment hedges of approximately $10 million and $21 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and losses in translation of approximately $27 million and $35 million for the three and six months ended June 28, 2025, respectively.

Avery Dennison Corporation

Our provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 included a net tax charge related to the tax on recognition of foreign withholding taxes on current year earnings and the net controlled foreign corporation tested income of our foreign subsidiaries, partially offset by the benefit from foreign-derived deduction eligible income. Our provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2026 also included a net discrete charge from increases in tax reserves related to a court ruling in a foreign jurisdiction impacting tax group requirements.

Our provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 28, 2025 included a net tax charge related to the tax on global intangible low-taxed income of our foreign subsidiaries and the recognition of foreign withholding taxes on current year earnings, partially offset by the benefit from foreign-derived intangible income. Our provision for income taxes for these periods also included a discrete benefit from decreases in certain tax reserves, including interest and penalties, primarily as a result of closing tax years. In addition, our provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 28, 2025 included a discrete benefit from a favorable tax ruling in a foreign jurisdiction related to deductibility of interest expense.

The amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits by taxing jurisdictions around the world. Our estimate of the potential outcome of any uncertain tax issue is subject to our assessment of the relevant risks, facts and circumstances existing at the time. We believe that we have adequately provided for reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to these matters. However, our future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities in the period the assessments are made or resolved, which may impact our effective tax rate. The final determination of tax audits and any related legal proceedings could materially differ from the amounts currently reflected in our tax provision for income taxes and the related liabilities. We and our U.S. subsidiaries have completed the IRS Compliance Assurance Process through 2023. With limited exceptions, we are no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2010.

Note 7. Net Income Per Common Share

Net income per common share was computed as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
(In millions, except per share amounts)	June 30, 2026		June 28, 2025		June 30, 2026		June 28, 2025

(B)Weighted average number of common shares outstanding	76.3		78.2		76.5		78.7
Dilutive shares (additional common shares issuable under stock-based awards)	.1		.1		.2		.2
(C) Weighted average number of common shares outstanding, assuming dilution	76.4		78.3		76.7		78.9
Net income per common share: (A) ÷ (B)	$	2.67	$	2.42	$	4.87	$	4.51
Net income per common share, assuming dilution: (A) ÷ (C)	$	2.67	$	2.41	$	4.85	$	4.50

Certain stock-based compensation awards were excluded from the computation of net income per common share, assuming dilution, because they would not have had a dilutive effect. Stock-based compensation awards excluded from the computation totaled 0.3 million shares for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 0.1 million for the three months ended June 28, 2025. Stock-based compensation awards excluded from the computation totaled 0.2 million shares for both the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 28, 2025.

(1) We fund a portion of our employee-related costs using shares of our common stock held in treasury. We reduce capital in excess of par value based on the grant date fair value of vesting awards and record net gains or losses associated with using treasury shares to retained earnings.

(2) In the first quarter of 2025, we adopted accounting guidance that requires crypto assets to be measured at fair value, which resulted in an adjustment to reflect the difference between the carrying value of our holdings in crypto assets and their fair value as of the beginning of 2025. Crypto assets were not material to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Investments include fixed income securities (primarily U.S. government and corporate debt and equity securities) measured at fair value using quoted prices/bids and a money market fund measured at fair value using net asset value. Investments of $1.7 million and $1.1 million were included in "Cash and cash equivalents," $47.4 million and $46.9 million in "Other current assets," and $0.4 million and $1.1 million in “Other assets” as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Derivatives that are exchange-traded are measured at fair value using quoted market prices and classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Derivatives measured based on foreign currency exchange rate inputs that are readily available in public markets are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Bank drafts (maturities greater than three months), which are valued at face value due to their short-term nature, were included in “Other current assets” in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Contingent consideration liabilities as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 relate to estimated earn-out payments associated with an acquisition completed in 2021, which are subject to the acquired company achieving certain post-acquisition performance targets. These liabilities were recorded based on the expected payments and have been classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Activity related to contingent consideration was immaterial for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 28, 2025.

Note 10. Venture Investments

We invest primarily in privately held companies and utilize the measurement alternative for venture investments where we do not exercise significant influence. These investments do not have a readily determinable fair value; therefore, we measure them at cost less impairment plus or minus observable price changes in an orderly transaction. Venture investments that are publicly traded companies are recorded at fair value using Level 1 inputs. The carrying value of our venture investments was included in “Other assets” in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On April 27, 2026, we completed an approximately $75 million minority investment in Wiliot Ltd., a company specializing in physical artificial intelligence for supply chains. We expect this investment to expand our portfolio of sensor technologies and solutions. We funded this investment using a combination of cash and commercial paper borrowings.

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various lawsuits, claims, inquiries and other regulatory and compliance matters, most of which are routine to the nature of our business. When it is probable that a loss will be incurred and where a range of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the best estimate within the range is accrued. When the best estimate within the range cannot be determined, the low end of the range is accrued. The ultimate resolution of these claims could affect future results of operations should our exposure be materially different from our estimates or should we incur liabilities that were not previously accrued. Probable insurance reimbursements are not offset against potential liabilities.

Because of the uncertainties associated with claims resolution and litigation, future expenses to resolve legal proceedings could be higher than the liabilities we have accrued. If information were to become available that allowed us to reasonably estimate an amount higher or lower than what we have accrued in the range of potential expenses determined to be probable, we would adjust our accrued liabilities accordingly. Additional lawsuits, claims, inquiries and other regulatory and compliance matters could arise in the future. The range of expenses for resolving any future matters would be assessed as they arise; until then, a range of potential expenses for their resolution cannot be determined. Based upon current information, we believe that the impact of the resolution of legal proceedings would not be, individually or in the aggregate, material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Environmental Expenditures

Environmental expenditures are generally expensed. When it is probable that a loss will be incurred and where a range of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the best estimate within the range is accrued. When the best estimate within the range cannot be determined, the low end of the range is accrued. The ultimate resolution of these matters could affect future results of operations should our exposure be materially different from our estimates or should we incur liabilities that were not previously accrued. Probable insurance reimbursements are not offset against potential liabilities. We review our estimates of the costs of complying with environmental laws related to the remediation and cleanup of various sites, including sites in which governmental agencies have designated us as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”). However, environmental expenditures for newly acquired assets and those that extend or improve the economic useful life of existing assets are capitalized and amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the acquired asset or the remaining life of the existing asset.

As of June 30, 2026, we have been designated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and/or other responsible state agencies as a PRP at ten waste disposal or waste recycling sites that are the subject of separate investigations or proceedings concerning alleged soil and/or groundwater contamination. No settlement of our liability related to any of these sites has been agreed upon. We are participating with other PRPs at these sites and anticipate that our share of remediation costs will be determined pursuant to agreements that we enter into with the EPA or other governmental authorities.

These estimates could change as a result of changes in planned remedial actions, remediation technologies, site conditions, the estimated time to complete remediation, environmental laws and regulations, and other factors. Because of the uncertainties associated with environmental assessment and remediation activities, our future expenses to remediate these sites could be higher than the liabilities we have accrued. If information were to become available that allowed us to reasonably estimate an amount higher or lower than what we have accrued in the range of potential expenses, we would adjust our environmental liabilities accordingly. In addition, we may be identified as a PRP at additional sites in the future. The range of expenses for remediation of any future-identified sites would be addressed as they arise; until then, a range of expenses for their remediation cannot be determined.

The activity related to our environmental liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 is shown below.

Supplier Finance Programs

We have agreements with third-party financial institutions to facilitate payments to suppliers. These third-party financial institutions offer voluntary supply chain finance programs that enable certain of our suppliers, at the supplier’s sole discretion, to sell our payment obligations to a financial institution on terms directly negotiated with the financial institution. Participating suppliers decide which payment obligations are sold to the financial institution and we have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to sell these payment obligations. We make payments to the financial institution on the invoice due date, regardless of whether an individual invoice is sold by the supplier to the financial institution. Our obligations to our suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by suppliers' decisions to sell amounts under these arrangements. Amounts due under our supply chain finance programs were included in accounts payable in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and activities related to these programs were presented as operating activities in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $429.2 million and $383.8 million, respectively, were due to financial institutions for suppliers that participate in these programs.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or MD&A, should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We report our financial results in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, and also communicate with investors using certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for or superior to, the comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement the presentation of our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate trends in our underlying performance, as well as to facilitate comparisons with the results of competitors for quarters and year-to-date periods, as applicable. Based on feedback from investors and financial analysts, we believe that the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures we provide are also useful to their assessments of our performance and operating trends, as well as liquidity. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures from the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in accordance with Regulations G and S-K.

Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of certain events, activities or strategic decisions. The accounting effects of these events, activities or decisions, which are included in the GAAP financial measures, may make it more difficult to assess our underlying performance in a single period. By excluding the accounting effects, positive or negative, of certain items (e.g., restructuring charges, outcomes of certain legal matters and settlements, certain effects of strategic transactions and related costs, losses from debt extinguishments, gains or losses from curtailment or settlement of pension obligations, gains or losses on sales of certain assets, gains or losses on venture and other investments, currency adjustments due to highly inflationary economies, and other items), we believe that we are providing meaningful supplemental information that facilitates an understanding of our core operating results and liquidity measures. While some of the items we exclude from GAAP financial measures recur, they tend to be disparate in amount, frequency or timing.

We use the non-GAAP financial measures described below in this MD&A.

•Sales change ex. currency refers to the increase or decrease in net sales, excluding the estimated impact of foreign currency translation, and, where applicable, currency adjustments for transitional reporting of highly inflationary economies and the reclassification of sales between segments. Additionally, where applicable, sales change ex. currency is also adjusted for the estimated impact of extra days in our fiscal year and the calendar shift resulting from extra days in the prior fiscal year. The estimated impact of foreign currency translation is calculated on a constant currency basis, with prior-period results translated at current-period average exchange rates to exclude the effect of foreign currency fluctuations. Our 2025 fiscal year began on December 29, 2024 and ended on December 31, 2025; fiscal years 2026 and beyond are coincident with the calendar year, beginning on January 1 and ending on December 31.

•Organic sales change refers to sales change ex. currency, excluding the estimated impact of acquisitions and product line divestitures.

We believe that sales change ex. currency and organic sales change assist investors in evaluating the sales change from the ongoing activities of our businesses and enhance their ability to evaluate our results from period to period.

•Adjusted free cash flow refers to cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities, less payments for property, plant and equipment, less payments for software and other deferred charges, plus proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment, plus (minus) net proceeds from insurance and sales (purchases) of investments. Where applicable, adjusted free cash flow is also adjusted for certain acquisition-related transaction costs, proceeds from company-owned life insurance policies and net cash used for Argentine Blue Chip Swap securities. We believe that adjusted free cash flow assists investors by showing the amount of cash we have available for debt reductions, dividends, share repurchases and acquisitions.

•Operational working capital as a percentage of annualized current quarter net sales refers to trade accounts receivable and inventories, net of accounts payable, divided by annualized current quarter net sales, and excludes cash and cash equivalents, short-term borrowings, deferred taxes, other current assets and other current liabilities. We believe that operational working capital as a percentage of annualized current quarter net sales assists investors in assessing our working capital requirements because it excludes the impact of fluctuations attributable to our financing and other activities (which affect cash and cash equivalents, deferred taxes, other current assets and other current liabilities) that tend to be disparate in amount, frequency or timing, and may increase the volatility of working capital as a percentage of sales from period to period. The items excluded from this measure are not significantly influenced by our day-to-day activities managed at the operating level and do not necessarily reflect the underlying trends in our operations.

OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK

Fiscal Year

The three and six months ended June 30, 2026 consisted of 91 and 181 days, respectively, and the three and six months ended June 28, 2025 consisted of 91 and 182 days, respectively.

Our 2026 fiscal year is coincident with the calendar year, beginning on January 1 and ending on December 31; our 2025 fiscal year began on December 29, 2024 and ended on December 31, 2025.

Net Sales

The factors impacting net sales change, as compared to the prior-year period, are shown in the table below.


	Three Months Ended June 30, 2026		Six Months Ended June 30, 2026
Net sales change	11	%	9	%
Foreign currency translation	(2)		(3)
Sales change ex. currency(1)	9		6
Acquisitions	(1)		(1)
Organic sales change(1)	8	%	4	%

(1) Totals may not sum due to rounding.

In the three months ended June 30, 2026, net sales increased on an organic basis compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to higher volume, partially offset by unfavorable mix. In the six months ended June 30, 2026, net sales increased on an organic basis compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to higher volume, partially offset by unfavorable mix and the impact of raw material deflation-related price reductions.

Net Income

Net income increased from approximately $355 million in the first six months of 2025 to approximately $372 million in the first six months of 2026. The primary factors affecting this increase were:

•Higher volume

•Benefits from productivity initiatives, including savings from restructuring actions, net of transition costs

•Net benefit of pricing and raw material costs, including material re-engineering

•Favorable foreign currency translation

These items were partially offset by the following factors:

•Unfavorable mix

•Higher employee-related costs

•Higher provision for income taxes

•Higher restructuring charges, net of reversals

Cost Reduction Actions

2026 Actions

Restructuring charges were included in “Other expense (income), net” in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Refer to Note 4, “Cost Reduction Actions,” to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Adjusted free cash flow	$	469.8	$	135.8

During the first six months of 2026, net cash provided by operating activities increased compared to the same period last year primarily due to changes in operational working capital and lower incentive compensation payments, partially offset by higher tax payments, net of refunds. During the first six months of 2026, adjusted free cash flow increased compared to the same period last year primarily due to an increase in net cash provided by operating activities.

Outlook

Certain factors that we anticipate will contribute to our 2026 results are described below.

•Based on recent rates, a favorable impact from foreign currency translation to our full-year net sales and operating income

•Higher interest expense

•A full-year effective tax rate in the high-twenty percent range

•Incremental savings from restructuring actions, net of transition costs

•An unfavorable impact to our operating income resulting from the normalization of the majority of our prior-year temporary cost-saving actions, which largely relate to lower incentive compensation

Analysis of Selected Balance Sheet Accounts

Long-lived Assets

In the six months ended June 30, 2026, goodwill decreased by approximately $11 million to $2.26 billion, primarily reflecting the impact of foreign currency translation.

In the six months ended June 30, 2026, other intangibles resulting from business acquisitions, net, decreased by approximately $51 million to $776.2 million, primarily reflecting current-year amortization expense.

Refer to Note 2, “Goodwill and Other Intangibles Resulting from Business Acquisitions,” to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Shareholders’ Equity Accounts

As of June 30, 2026, the balance of our shareholders’ equity was $2.32 billion. Refer to Note 8, “Supplemental Equity and Comprehensive Income Information,” to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Impact of Foreign Currency Translation


	Six Months Ended
(In millions)	June 30, 2026
Change in net sales	$	139

International operations generated approximately 69% of our net sales during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Our future results are subject to changes in worldwide economic conditions, tariffs, and social, geopolitical and market conditions in the regions in which we operate, as well as the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange and interest rates.

The favorable impact of foreign currency translation on net sales in the first six months of 2026 compared to the same period last year was primarily related to euro-denominated sales and sales in China.

Effect of Foreign Currency Transactions

The impact on net income from transactions denominated in foreign currencies is largely mitigated because the costs of our products are generally denominated in the same currencies in which they are sold. In addition, to reduce our income and cash flow exposure to transactions in foreign currencies, we enter into foreign exchange forward, option and swap contracts where available and appropriate. Refer to Note 5, “Financial Instruments,” to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Analysis of Selected Financial Ratios

We utilize the financial ratios discussed below to assess our financial condition and operating performance. We believe this information assists our investors in understanding the factors impacting our cash flow other than net income and capital expenditures.

Operational Working Capital Ratio

Operational working capital, as a percentage of annualized current-quarter net sales, is reconciled to working capital below. Our objective is to minimize our investment in operational working capital, as a percentage of annualized current-quarter net sales, to maximize our cash flow and return on investment. As shown below, operational working capital, as a percentage of annualized current-quarter net sales, in the second quarter of 2026 decreased compared to the second quarter of 2025.

Accounts Receivable Ratio

The average number of days sales outstanding was 66 days in the second quarter of 2026 compared to 67 days in the second quarter of 2025, calculated using the accounts receivable balance at quarter-end divided by the average daily sales in the respective quarter. The decrease in average number of days sales outstanding primarily reflected the impact of foreign currency translation, partially offset by the timing of collections.

Inventory Ratio

Average inventory turnover was 6.7 in the second quarter of 2026 compared to 6.2 in the second quarter of 2025, calculated using the annualized second-quarter cost of products sold and divided by the inventory balance at the respective quarter-end. The increase in average inventory turnover primarily reflected higher volumes due to customer inventory stocking.

Accounts Payable Ratio

The average number of days payable outstanding was 80 days in the second quarter of 2026 compared to 75 days in the second quarter of 2025, calculated using the respective accounts payable balance at quarter-end divided by the annualized second-quarter cost of products sold. The increase in average number of days payable outstanding primarily reflected the timing of vendor payments, partially offset by the impact of foreign currency translation and acquisitions.

Capital Resources

Capital resources used to fund our operational needs include cash flows from operations, cash and cash equivalents, and debt financing, including access to commercial paper borrowings supported by our $1.20 billion revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”).

The Revolver is used as a back-up facility for our commercial paper borrowings and can be used for other corporate purposes. No balance was outstanding under the Revolver as of June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

As of June 30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $227.3 million held in accounts at third-party financial institutions. Our cash balances are held in numerous locations around the world. As of June 30, 2026, the majority of our cash and cash equivalents was held by our foreign subsidiaries, primarily in Asia Pacific.

To meet our U.S. cash requirements, we have several cost-effective liquidity options available. These options include borrowing funds at reasonable rates, including borrowings from foreign subsidiaries, and repatriating foreign earnings and profits. However, if we were to repatriate foreign earnings and profits, a portion would be subject to cash payments of withholding taxes imposed by foreign tax authorities. Additional U.S. taxes may also result from the impact of foreign currency fluctuations related to these earnings and profits.

Capital from Debt

The carrying value of our total debt decreased by approximately $55 million in the first six months of 2026 to $3.68 billion, primarily due to the revaluation of our euro-denominated debt and lower commercial paper borrowings.

Credit ratings are a significant factor in our ability to raise short- and long-term financing. The credit ratings assigned to us also impact the interest rates we pay and our access to commercial paper, credit facilities and other borrowings. A downgrade of our short-term credit ratings could impact our ability to access commercial paper markets. If our access to commercial paper markets were to become limited, we believe that the Revolver and our other credit facilities would be available to meet our short-term funding requirements. When determining a credit rating, we believe that rating agencies primarily consider our competitive position, business outlook, consistency of cash flows, debt level and liquidity, geographic dispersion and management team. We remain committed to maintaining an investment grade rating.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Our disclosure controls system is based upon a global chain of financial and general business reporting lines that converge in our headquarters in Mentor, Ohio. As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such time to provide reasonable assurance that information was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Refer to “Legal Proceedings” in Note 11, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 for this information.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors included in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 that have not been disclosed in our periodic filings with the SEC, except as set forth below.

The demand for our products is impacted by the effects of, and changes in, worldwide economic, geopolitical, social and labor conditions, which have had in the past and could in the future have a material adverse effect on our business.

We have operations in more than 50 countries and our domestic and international operations are strongly influenced by matters beyond our control, including changes in economic, geopolitical, social and labor conditions, tax laws, and U.S. and international trade regulations (including tariffs), as well as the impact these changes have on demand for our products. In 2025, approximately 69% of our net sales originated outside the U.S.

Macroeconomic developments such as impacts from slower growth in the geographic regions in which we operate; inflation resulting from, among other things, increased raw material, energy and freight costs; labor shortages; geopolitical, social, supply chain and other disruptions; epidemics, pandemics or other outbreaks of illness, disease or virus; and uncertainty in global credit or financial markets could result in a material adverse effect on our business as a result of, among other things, lower consumer spending, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, reduced asset valuations, diminished liquidity and credit availability, volatility in securities prices, and credit rating downgrades.

Trade-related uncertainty remains elevated between the U.S. and other regions and countries, including Canada, Mexico, China, India and the European Union. In 2025, the U.S. implemented a 10% global baseline tariff rate on nearly all imports, with higher rates on certain goods. Additionally, it applied significant tariffs on goods from Canada, Mexico, China and the European Union, each of which announced reciprocal tariffs. The amount of these tariffs or the classes of goods on which they are applied continues to evolve and could significantly change. The U.S. government continues to negotiate with countries regarding the tariffs. In July 2025, the U.S. and the European Union agreed to a framework for a trade deal that included a baseline tariff rate of 15% on most goods imported from the European Union into the U.S. While the direct impacts on our operations after our mitigating actions have not been significant, our business could be materially adversely impacted by changes in U.S. and non-U.S. trade policies, including potential modifications to existing trade agreements and additional tariffs or other restrictions on free trade, impacting our raw materials or finished products. The indirect impact on demand for our products and solutions as a result of these events, which have resulted in softer consumer volumes, continues to be uncertain and elevated. We estimate that the indirect impact of tariffs resulted in an aggregate low single digit rate decrease in sales in our overall apparel categories over the second, third and fourth quarters of 2025. In February, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the applied tariffs were not authorized under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Beginning in the second quarter of 2026, the U.S. Customs Border and Protection began processing refunds related to certain unliquidated tariffs affected by this ruling. In June 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice filed an appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit asserting that the U.S. Court of International Trade overstepped by ordering refunds to non-litigants on liquidated entries. In July 2026, the U.S applied new tariffs of 10.0% and 12.5% on certain imports from 60 countries. Further developments in international trade relations, including ongoing developments on tariffs required by the U.S. or other countries, and increased deglobalization, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

In addition, business and operational disruptions or delays caused by geopolitical, social or economic instability and unrest – such as recent civil, political and economic disturbances in Syria, Yemen, Iran, Turkey, North Korea, and Bangladesh and the related impact on global stability, recent conflicts involving the U.S., Israel and Iran and related hostilities in the Middle East, the Russia-Ukraine war, the Israel-Hamas war, the U.S.'s engagement in Venezuela, terrorist attacks and the potential for other hostilities or natural disasters in various parts of the world – could have a material adverse effect on our business. Since the Russia-Ukraine war began in 2022, we have maintained our position of not shipping products to the Russian market. The impact of the continuing war, as well as any further retaliatory actions taken by Russia, the U.S., the European Union and other jurisdictions, is unknown and could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, our sales in Israel have not recovered since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war in late 2023, with sales representing less than 1% of our total net sales in 2025. The recent conflicts involving the U.S., Israel and Iran have affected our operations in the Middle East, a region that represented approximately 2% of our net sales in 2025. The continued impact of these conflicts and any related hostilities in the Middle East region or elsewhere is unknown and could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We are not able to predict the duration and severity of adverse economic, geopolitical, social, or labor conditions in the U.S. or other countries.
