Note 3: New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which requires companies to disclose disaggregated amounts relating to (a) inventory purchases; (b) employee compensation; (c) depreciation; (d) intangible asset amortization; and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization. Further, this guidance will require companies to include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements, disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively and disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed expense disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. This guidance is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 but early adoption is permitted. ASU 2024-03 should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company will begin providing the required income tax disclosures starting with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025.
During the six-month period ended June 29, 2025, there were no other newly issued or newly applicable accounting pronouncements that had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Further, at June 29, 2025, there were no other pronouncements pending adoption that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 4: Acquisitions and Divestitures

The allocation of the purchase price of Eviosys to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as reflected under the heading “Updated Preliminary Allocation” in the table above, is based on the Company’s preliminary estimates of their respective fair values, based on information currently available. Management is continuing to finalize its valuation of certain assets and liabilities including, but not limited to: inventories, property, plant and equipment; goodwill; other intangible assets; and deferred income taxes, and expects to complete its valuations within one year of the date of acquisition.
Factors comprising goodwill for Eviosys, none of which is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes, include increased access to certain markets and the value of the assembled workforce.

Anti-dilutive Securities
Potentially dilutive securities are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes the proceeds from the exercise of all dilutive stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) are used to repurchase the Company’s common stock. Certain SARs are not dilutive because either the exercise price is greater than the average market price of the stock during the reporting period or assumed repurchases from proceeds from the exercise of the SARs were anti-dilutive. These SARs may become dilutive in the future if the market price of the Company’s common stock appreciates.
The average numbers of SARs that were anti-dilutive and, therefore, not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share during the three- and six-month periods ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024 were as follows (in thousands):

Goodwill at June 29, 2025 $ 1,942,501 $ 506,808 $ 228,736 $ 2,678,045
Goodwill activity reflected under the caption “Measurement period adjustments” relates to the December 2024 acquisition of Eviosys. Goodwill activity reflected under the caption “Divestitures” relates to the April 2025 sale of a small recycling business in Asheville, North Carolina. See Note 4 for additional information.
The Company assesses goodwill for impairment annually during the third quarter, or from time to time when warranted by the facts and circumstances surrounding individual reporting units or the Company as a whole. The Company completed its most recent annual goodwill impairment testing during the third quarter of 2024 and analyzed certain qualitative and quantitative factors in determining whether a goodwill impairment existed. The Company’s assessments reflected a number of significant management assumptions and estimates including the Company’s forecast of sales growth, gross profit margins, and discount rates. Changes in these assumptions could materially impact the Company’s conclusions. Based on its assessments, the Company concluded that there was no impairment of goodwill for any of its reporting units.
Although no reporting units failed the annual impairment test, in management’s opinion, the goodwill balance of the Metal Packaging - US reporting unit is at risk of impairment in the near term if the reporting unit’s operations do not perform in line with management’s expectations, or if there is a negative change in the long-term financial outlook for the reporting unit or in other factors such as the discount rate. The total goodwill associated with the Metal Packaging - US reporting unit was $ 384,315 at June 29, 2025.
During the time subsequent to the annual evaluation, and at June 29, 2025, the Company considered whether any events and/or changes in circumstances had resulted in the likelihood that the goodwill of any of its reporting units may have been impaired. It is management’s opinion that no such events and/or changes in circumstances have occurred.

During the six-month period ended June 29, 2025, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments related to the December 2024 acquisition of Eviosys that increased the previously reported fair value of customer lists by $ 10,859 . The effect on amortization expense in the prior period was immaterial. In addition, the Company wrote off other intangible assets, primarily customer lists, with a net book value of $ 1,455 as a result of the divestiture of a small recycling business in Asheville, North Carolina. See Note 4 for additional information.
Other intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their respective useful lives when management has determined that the straight-line method approximates the pattern of consumption of the respective intangible assets or in relation to the asset’s specific pattern of consumption if management has determined that the straight-line method does not provide a fair approximation of the consumption of benefits. These lives generally range from three to forty years . The Company has no intangible assets with indefinite lives.
Aggregate amortization expense was $ 44,193 and $ 17,479 for the three-month periods ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively, and $ 86,154 and $ 35,373 for the six-month periods ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

Note 9: Supply Chain Financing
The Company facilitates voluntary supply chain financing programs (the “SCF Programs”) to provide certain of its suppliers with the opportunity to sell receivables due from the Company to the participating financial institutions in the programs. Such sales are conducted at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the financial institutions on a nonrecourse basis at a rate that leverages the Company’s credit rating and thus might be more beneficial to the supplier. No guarantees are provided by the Company or any of its subsidiaries under the SCF Programs. The Company’s responsibility under the agreements is limited to making payment to the financial institutions for confirmed invoices based on the terms originally negotiated with its suppliers. Both the Company and the financial institutions have the right to terminate the SCF Programs by providing 30 days prior written notice to the other party. The Company does not enter into any agreements with suppliers regarding their participation in the SCF Programs.

Certain of the Company’s debt agreements impose restrictions with respect to the maintenance of financial ratios and the disposition of assets. The most restrictive covenants currently require the Company to maintain a minimum level of interest coverage and a minimum level of net worth, as defined in the agreements. As of June 29, 2025, the Company’s interest coverage and net worth were substantially above the minimum levels required under these covenants.
Note 11: Financial Instruments and Derivatives
The following table sets forth the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s significant financial instruments for which the carrying amount differs from the fair value.

Amount Fair
Value
Long-term debt, net of current portion $ 4,986,643 $ 4,865,699 $ 4,985,496 $ 4,800,455
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and short-term debt approximates fair value. The fair value of long-term debt is determined based on recent trade information in the financial markets of the Company’s public debt or is determined by discounting future cash flows using interest rates available to the Company for issues with similar terms and maturities which is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement.
Cash Flow Hedges
At June 29, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had derivative financial instruments outstanding to hedge anticipated transactions and certain asset and liability related cash flows. These contracts, w hich have maturities ranging from July 2025 to December 2025, qualify as cash flow hedges under GAAP. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings and is presented in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. Cash flows from derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges are classified as cash flows from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Commodity Cash Flow Hedges
Certain derivative contracts entered into to manage the cost of anticipated purchases of natural gas and aluminum have been designated by the Company as cash flow hedges. At June 29, 2025, there were no designated natural gas swaps covering anticipated natural gas usage in 2025. The Company has designated swap contracts covering 8,740 metric tons of aluminum as cash flow hedges. These contracts represented approximately 68 % of anticipated aluminum usage for 2025. The fair value of the Company’s commodity cash flow hedges netted to a loss position of $( 258 ) and a gain position of $ 652 at June 29, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The amount of the loss included in accumulated other comprehensive income at June 29, 2025 expected to be reclassified to the income statement during the next twelve months is $( 258 ). The Company also has certain natural gas derivatives contracts that are not designated as cash flow hedges. See “Non-Designated Derivatives” below for a discussion of these hedges.

Net Investment Hedge
In 2023, the Company became a party to cross-currency swap agreements with a total notional amount of $ 500,000 to effectively convert a portion of the Company’s fixed-rate U.S. dollar denominated debt, including the semi-annual interest payments, to fixed-rate euro-denominated debt. The swap agreements, which had a maturity of December 18, 2026, provided for the Company to receive semi-annual interest payments in U.S. dollars at a fixed rate and to make semi-annual interest payments in euros at a fixed rate. On April 15, 2024, as a result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the euro, as well as a reduction in the differential between U.S. and European interest rates, the Company terminated its swap agreements and received a net cash settlement of $ 9,068 . The foreign currency translation gain of approximately $ 3,143 , net of tax, is included as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss.”
Following the unwind of the swaps, in April 2024 the Company entered into new cross-currency swap agreements with a total notional amount of $ 500,000 , maturing on May 1, 2027, to effectively convert a portion of the Company’s fixed-rate U.S. dollar-denominated debt, including the semi-annual interest payments, to fixed-rate euro-denominated debt.
In December 2024, the Company entered into additional cross-currency swap agreements with a total notional amount of $ 1,500,000 , including $ 500,000 maturing on September 1, 2026, $ 500,000 maturing on September 1, 2029, and $ 500,000 maturing on May 1, 2030. The swaps effectively convert a portion of the Company’s fixed-rate U.S. dollar-denominated debt, including the semi-annual interest payments, to fixed-rate euro-denominated debt at the prevailing market rate at execution.
On June 30, 2025, subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the Company entered into additional cross-currency swap agreements with a total notional amount of $ 285,000 , maturing on February 1, 2027. The swaps effectively convert a portion of the Company’s fixed-rate U.S. dollar-denominated debt, including the semi-annual interest payments, to fixed-rate euro-denominated debt at the prevailing market rate at execution.
All of the Company’s cross-currency swap agreements are designated as net investment hedges for accounting purposes and have the risk management objective of managing foreign currency risk relating to net investments in certain European subsidiaries denominated in euros.
The gain or loss on the net investment hedge derivative instruments is included in the “Foreign currency translation” component of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” until the net investment is sold, diluted, or liquidated. Net interest receivables for the cross-currency swaps totaling $ 9,088 and $ 18,080 for the three and six months ended June 29, 2025 are excluded from the net investment hedge effectiveness assessment and are recorded in “Interest expense” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The assumptions used in measuring fair value of the cross-currency swaps are considered level 2 inputs, which are based upon the Euro-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate market.
The fair value of the Company’s net investment hedges was a loss position of $( 218,240 ) and a gain position of $ 11,919 at June 29, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. A foreign currency translation loss of $( 162,589 ) (net of income taxes of $ 55,651 ) and a gain of $ 8,880 (net of income taxes of $ 3,039 ) were reported as components of “Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss)” within “Foreign currency items” at June 29, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Non-Designated Derivatives
The Company routinely enters into other derivative contracts which are not designated for hedge accounting treatment under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” As such, changes in fair value of these non-designated derivatives are recorded directly to income and expense in the periods that they occur. Cash flows from derivative financial instruments not designated as hedges are classified as cash flows from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Note 12: Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets;
Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
Assets that are calculated at Net Asset Value per share (“NAV”) are not required to be categorized within the fair value hierarchy.
The following table sets forth information regarding the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities, excluding retirement and postretirement plan assets, measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Foreign exchange contracts ( 3,081 ) — — ( 3,081 ) —
As discussed in Note 11 , the Company uses derivatives to mitigate the effect of commodity fluctuations, foreign currency fluctuations and, from time to time, interest rate movements. Fair value measurements for the Company’s derivatives are classified under Level 2 because such measurements are estimated based on observable inputs such as interest rates, yield curves, spot and future commodity prices and spot and future exchange rates.
None of the Company’s financial assets or liabilities are measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs. There were no transfers in or out of Level 1 or Level 2 fair value measurements during the six-month period ended June 29, 2025.
The Company has an investment in the preferred stock of a nonaffiliated private company. This investment is accounted for under the measurement alternative of cost less impairment, adjusted for any qualifying observable price changes on a non-recurring basis. Observable price changes would consist of Lev el 2 inputs based on privately negotiated transactions with the nonaffiliated company. The total investment in p referred stock of $ 21,212 is included in “Other assets” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 29, 2025.

The Company measures certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. See Note 4 for a discussion of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions and sold in dispositions, and Note 6 for a discussion of asset impairments associated with restructuring activities. The fair value of assets determined based on third-party appraisals and classified as Level 3 measurements due to the use of significant unobservable inputs was not material at June 29, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
Note 13: Employee Benefit Plans
Retirement Plans and Retiree Health and Life Insurance Plans
The Company provides non-contributory defined benefit pension plans for certain of its employees in the United States, Mexico, Belgium, Germany, France, and Turkey. Following the acquisition of Eviosys on December 4, 2024, the Company now also provides non-contributory defined benefit pension plans for certain of its employees in Italy, Switzerland, Spain, and Ireland. The Company also sponsors contributory defined benefit pension plans covering certain of its employees in the United Kingdom, Canada and the Netherlands, and provides postretirement healthcare and life insurance benefits to a limited number of its retirees and their dependents in the United States and Canada, based on certain age and/or service eligibility requirements.
The components of net periodic benefit cost/(income) include the following:

Settlement Charges
The Company recognized settlement ch arges of $ 511 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2024. These charges resulted from payments made to certain participants in the Company’s non-union Canadian pension plan who elected a lump sum distribution option upon retirement.
Contributions
The Company made aggregate contributions of $ 10,458 and $ 9,125 to its defined benefit retirement and retiree health and life insurance plans during the six-month periods ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. The Company expects to make additional aggregate contributions of approximately $ 11,700 to its defined benefit retirement and retiree health and life insurance plans over the remainder of 2025.

Note 14: Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rates for the three- and six-month periods ended June 29, 2025 were 37.3 % and 34.8 %, respectively, and its effective tax rates for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 were 23.3 % and 21.6 %, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates varied from the U.S. statutory rate due primarily to rate differences between U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions and the relative amounts earned in those jurisdictions, state income taxes, and discrete tax adjustments that were not consistent year over year.
The Company and/or its subsidiaries file federal, state and local income tax returns in the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2019.
The Company’s reserve for uncertain tax benefits increased by $ 100 from December 31, 2024 to June 29, 2025 due primarily to an increase in reserves related to existing tax positions. Although the Company’s estimate for the potential outcome for any uncertain tax issue is highly judgmental, management believes that any reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to these matters have been adequately provided for. However, future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to estimated tax liabilities in the period the assessments are made or resolved or when statutes of limitation on potential assessments expire. Additionally, the jurisdictions in which earnings or deductions are realized may differ from current estimates. As a result, the Company’s effective tax rate may fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis. The Company has operations and pays taxes in many countries outside of the U.S. and taxes on those earnings are subject to varying rates. The Company is not dependent upon the favorable benefit of any one jurisdiction to an extent that the loss of such benefit would have a material effect on the Company’s overall effective tax rate.
Note 15: Leases
The Company routinely enters into leasing arrangements for real estate (including manufacturing facilities, office space, and warehouses), transportation equipment (automobiles, forklifts, and trailers), and office equipment (copiers and postage machines). The assessment of the certainty associated with the exercise of various lease renewal, termination, and purchase options included in the Company’s lease contracts is performed after contemplating all the relevant facts and circumstances in accordance with guidance under ASC 842, “Leases.” Most of the Company’s real estate leases, in particular, include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that typically extend the lease term in increments from one to five years . The Company’s leases do not have any significant residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.
As the implicit rate in the Company’s leases is normally not readily determinable, the Company generally calculates its lease liabilities using discount rates based upon the Company’s incremental secured borrowing rate, which contemplates and reflects a particular geographical region’s interest rate for the leases active within that region of the Company’s global operations. The Company further utilizes a portfolio approach by assigning a “short” rate to contracts with lease terms of 10 years or less and a “long” rate for contracts greater than 10 years.
The Company completed the divestiture of Protexic on April 1, 2024. The divestiture included operating lease assets of $ 21,989 and operating lease liabilities of $ 22,396 .
The Company completed the Eviosys acquisition on December 4, 2024. The acquisition included operating lease liabilities of $ 42,468 with a weighted-average remaining lease maturity term of 8.1 years and a weighted-average discount rate of 4.5 % .
For additional information about the Company’s acquisitions and divestitures, see Note 4.
The following table sets forth the balance sheet location and aggregate values of the Company’s lease assets and lease liabilities at June 29, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Certain of the Company’s leases include variable costs. Variable costs include lease payments that were volume or usage-driven in accordance with the use of the underlying asset, and also non-lease components that were incurred based upon actual terms rather than contractually fixed amounts. In addition, variable costs are incurred for lease payments that are indexed to a change in rate or index. Because the right of use assets recorded on the balance sheet were determined based upon factors considered at the commencement date of the leases, subsequent changes in the rate or index that were not contemplated in the right of use asset balances recorded on the balance sheet for certain leases with rate or index-related terms result in variable expenses being incurred when paid during the lease term.

Note 16: Revenue Recognition
The Company records revenue when control is transferred to the customer, which is either upon shipment or over time in cases where the Company is entitled to payment with margin for products produced that are customer specific without alternative use. The Company recognizes over time revenue under the input method as goods are produced. Revenue that is recognized at a point in time is recognized when the customer obtains control of the goods. Customers obtain control either when goods are delivered to the customer facility, if the Company is responsible for arranging transportation, or when picked up by the customer’s designated carrier. The Company commonly enters into Master Supply Arrangements with customers to provide goods and/or services over specific time periods. Customers submit purchase orders with quantities and prices to create a contract for accounting purposes. Shipping and handling expenses are included in “Cost of sales,” and freight charged to customers is included in “Net sales” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
The Company has rebate agreements with certain customers. These rebates are recorded as reductions of revenue and are accrued using sales data and rebate percentages specific to each customer agreement. Accrued customer rebates are included in “Accrued expenses and other” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Payment terms under the Company’s sales arrangements are short term, generally no longer than 120 days. The Company does provide prompt payment discounts to certain customers if invoices are paid within a predetermined period. Prompt payment discounts are treated as a reduction of estimated revenue and are determinable within a short time period following the sale.
The following table sets forth the effects of contract assets and liabilities from contracts with customers. Contract assets and liabilities are reported in “Other receivables” and “Accrued expenses and other,” respectively, in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Ending Balance $ 98,907 $ ( 42,515 ) $ 67,062 $ ( 60,024 )
Contract assets represent goods produced without alternative use for which the Company is entitled to payment with margin prior to shipment. Upon shipment, the Company is entitled to bill the customer, and therefore amounts included in contract assets will be reduced with the recording of an account receivable as they represent an unconditional right to payment. Contract liabilities represent revenue deferred due to pricing mechanisms utilized by the Company in certain multi-year arrangements, volume rebates, and receipts of advance payments. For multi-year arrangements with pricing mechanisms, the Company will generally defer revenue during the first half of the arrangement and will release the deferral over the second half of the contract term. Contract assets and liabilities are generally short in duration given the nature of products produced by the Company.
The following tables set forth information about revenue disaggregated by primary geographic regions for the three-month periods ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the chief executive officer. The CODM assesses segment performance and allocates resources to each segment by using each segment’s operating profit. The CODM uses operating profit for each segment in the annual budgeting and forecasting process and reviews segment operating profit quarterly when making decisions about allocating capital and operating resources to segments. Disaggregated assets by segment are not disclosed since segment assets are not regularly provided to the CODM.
Segment operating profit viewed by the Company to evaluate segment performance does not include the following: restructuring/asset impairment charges; amortization of acquisition intangibles; gains/losses from the sale of businesses or other assets; acquisition, integration and divestiture-related costs; changes in last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory reserves; derivative gains/losses; or certain other items, if any, the exclusion of which the Company’s management believes improves the comparability and analysis of the ongoing operating performance of the business. All other general corporate expenses have been allocated as operating costs to each of the Company’s reportable segments and the All Other group of businesses, except for costs related to discontinued operations.

Note 18: Commitments and Contingencies
In accordance with the requirements of ASC 450, “Contingencies,” the Company records accruals for estimated losses at the time information becomes available indicating that losses are probable and that the amounts are reasonably estimable. As is the case with other companies in similar industries, the Company faces exposure from actual or potential claims and legal proceedings from a variety of sources. Some of these exposures, as discussed below, have the potential to be material.
Environmental Matters
The Company is subject to a variety of environmental and pollution control laws and regulations in all jurisdictions in which it operates.
Spartanburg
In connection with its acquisition of Tegrant in November 2011, the Co mpany identified potential environmental contamination at a site in Spartanburg, South Carolina. At December 31, 2024, the Company’s accrual for environmental contingencies related to the Spartanburg site totaled $ 5,096 . The Spartanburg site and related environmental liabilities were part of the sale of TFP to Toppan, which was completed on April 1, 2025. This accrual is reflected in “Current liabilities of discontinued operations” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2024 .
Other environmental matters
The Company has been named as a potentially responsible party at several environmentally contaminated sites. All of the sites are also the responsibility of other parties. The potential remediation liabilities are shared with such other parties, and, in most cases, the Company’s share, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated at the current time. However, the Company does not believe that the resolution of these matters has a reasonable possibility of having a material adverse effect on the Company’s fi nancial statements. At June 29, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the accruals for these other sites

SONOCO PRODUCTS COMPANY
totaled $ 1,773 and $ 1,933 , respectively , and are included in “Accrued expenses and other” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Other Legal Matters
In addition to those matters described above, the Company is subject to other various legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these matters could differ from management’s expectations, the Company does not believe the resolution of these matters has a reasonable possibility of having a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements.
