ACCO Brands Corporation reported results of its 2026 annual meeting. Stockholders approved a third amendment to the 2022 Incentive Plan, adding 4,100,000 shares available for future equity awards and eliminating fungible share counting for new grants.
All nine director nominees were elected for one-year terms. Stockholders ratified KPMG LLP as independent auditor for 2026 and approved, on a non-binding basis, executive compensation. The incentive plan amendment itself was also approved by stockholders following the proxy proposal.
ACCO Brands delivered Q1 2026 net sales of $343.7 million, up 8.3%, driven by favorable foreign exchange and the EPOS acquisition, while comparable sales fell 2.5% on softer global demand.
The company posted an operating loss of $10.4 million, wider than last year’s $6.7 million loss, as higher restructuring of $6.7 million and a litigation settlement offset cost savings. A $37.6 million preliminary bargain purchase gain from EPOS turned results to net income of $19.4 million, or $0.20 diluted EPS, versus a prior-year loss.
ACCO ended the quarter with $118.9 million of cash and $901.0 million of total debt, a Consolidated Leverage Ratio of about 4.14x against a 4.75x covenant, and total available liquidity of $371.2 million. Management is pursuing a multi-year cost reduction program targeting roughly $100 million of annual savings by the end of 2026 and is evaluating potential U.S. tariff refunds, which are not yet reflected in the financials.
ACCO Brands Corporation reported first quarter 2026 net sales of $343.7 million, up 8.3% from $317.4 million a year earlier, helped by the EPOS acquisition, foreign exchange and growth in Latin America and computer accessories. Reported net income was $19.4 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, versus a net loss of $13.2 million, or $(0.14) per share, mainly due to a $37.6 million bargain purchase gain from acquiring EPOS.
Adjusted net income was $1.8 million, compared with an adjusted net loss of $2.0 million, and adjusted diluted EPS improved to $0.02 from $(0.02). Adjusted operating income rose to $11.7 million from $6.9 million as cost savings offset lower organic volumes. Free cash flow was $1.4 million, down from $3.3 million.
The company ended the quarter with $118.9 million in cash and a consolidated leverage ratio of 4.1x. Management reaffirmed its full-year 2026 outlook, including reported sales expected to range from flat to up 3%, adjusted EPS of $0.84 to $0.89, and free cash flow of $75 million to $85 million, and projected year-end leverage between 3.7x and 3.9x.
