> ACCO projected reported sales growth of 4%-6%. It expects Trust and related technology-peripherals categories to account for about 30% of future sales.

ACCO Brands Corporation raised its 2026 adjusted earnings per share (EPS) outlook to $0.98-$1.02 and projected reported sales growth of 4%-6%, with Trust and related technology-peripherals categories expected to approach $500 million in annual pro forma sales.

ACCO expects those categories to represent about 30% of future sales. The company projects mid-single-digit long-term growth for the category and expects the Trust acquisition to add modestly to EPS during its first 12 months.

Year-to-date free cash flow was $89 million, including a $21 million benefit from tariff refunds. ACCO expects about $100 million in free cash flow for the full year.

The company ended the quarter with a consolidated leverage ratio of 3.6x and expects the ratio to be about 3.5x at year-end.
