Armada Hoffler Unveils Bold New Strategic Direction to Drive Long-Term Shareholder Value and Launches as AH Realty Trust

Executing a fundamental business restructuring to eliminate complexity, strengthen the balance sheet, and relentlessly focus on operating a streamlined real estate platform:

  • Exiting the multifamily property sector to unlock embedded value, reduce leverage and sharpen focus on retail and office properties
  • Divesting construction and real estate financing businesses
  • Aligning long-term performance with shareholder value creation through redesigned executive compensation structures
  • Launching AH Realty Trust, effective March 2, 2026, a new corporate identity that reflects the fundamental restructuring of the business
  • Launching under new NYSE tickers, AHRT and AHRT-PrA, effective March 2, 2026

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., Feb. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Armada Hoffler (NYSE: AHH) today announced that it is launching the Company under a new name, AH Realty Trust, reflecting a company-wide transformation that fundamentally repositions the business and establishes a bold new strategic direction. Following a rigorous, year-long examination of every part of the organization, the Company has rebuilt its strategy, operating model, and capital allocation priorities to create a leaner, more disciplined, and durable platform explicitly designed to strengthen the balance sheet and establish a foundation for future growth to drive long-term shareholder value.

The Company has entered into a letter of intent with a global real estate investment management firm for the potential sale of 11 of the 14 multifamily assets in its portfolio, following a strategic and targeted process that generated strong interest from multiple qualified parties. In addition, the Company is under letters of intent relating to the potential sale of its construction business and a majority of its real estate financing platform investments. While the Company continues to take a disciplined and prudent approach, meaningful progress has been made to date, supporting the Company’s expectation that these transactions will be completed during 2026. The Company intends to provide updates as definitive agreements are executed and transactions are completed.

Proceeds from these capital recycling initiatives will be directed first toward debt reduction, supporting the Company’s long-term target of 5.5x–6.5x net debt/total adjusted EBITDA. These actions strengthen the balance sheet while positioning the Company for disciplined growth, lower risk, and the operational flexibility to capitalize on opportunities across market cycles.

“This is a fundamental reset of the Company and a clear declaration of where we are focused: long term value creation over short term earnings,” said Shawn Tibbetts, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are rebuilding every part of the organization and operational excellence is our guiding principle, informing every decision we make. We believe, with significantly reduced leverage and a streamlined operating model, we will be a stronger, leaner, and more agile firm, better positioned to produce predictable earnings and sustainable cash-flow growth. Our team has worked relentlessly to execute this transformation, and we are confident this platform is positioned to deliver durable cash flows and disciplined growth. This to me is the definition of shareholder value.”

The Company’s new investment mandate is primarily centered on expanding its retail real estate portfolio, reflecting strong conviction in the segment’s durable cash flow profile and growth potential. The Company intends to target investments in markets with strong fundamentals that support sustained future rent growth.

“As we execute this transition, we are evaluating a targeted pipeline of acquisition opportunities in markets with fundamentals that align with where we already operate best,” said Tibbetts. “We will leverage our internal competencies, data-driven approach, deep market knowledge, long-standing partner and vendor relationships, tenant credit strength, and experiential retail demand to position our portfolio for sustained long-term performance.”

The Company commenced a comprehensive turnaround in 2025 to simplify the business and strengthen operational excellence. As part of this transformation, the Company rightsized its dividend in 2025 to align with stabilized, recurring cash flows and ensure long‑term sustainability, instituted a disciplined capital allocation approach centered on shareholder interests, and began realigning relationships with property management and development partners to enhance local expertise, improve execution in core markets, and support long‑term value creation. Additionally, the Company consolidated its headquarters into more efficient and cost‑effective space, positioning it to lease its former Class A offices to third parties at premium market rents. Collectively, these actions reinforce the Company’s commitment to its shareholders and are designed to maximize quality and returns.

This transformation coincides with President and CEO, Shawn Tibbetts, assuming the role of Chairman of the Board effective January 1, 2026, providing unified leadership as the Company advances its strategic plan. Leadership enhancements include the expansion of the executive team with cross‑industry expertise spanning finance, operations, logistics, and infrastructure to drive operational execution and challenge conventional norms; the redistribution of operating responsibilities across the leadership team as part of a thoughtful succession strategy to strengthen accountability, agility, and efficiency; the modernization of the executive compensation program to directly align with shareholder return metrics; and the continued refresh of the Board of Directors, including the addition of two new independent directors over the past two years and the implementation of age limits to promote ongoing renewal and diverse perspectives.

“This is about delivering tangible, long-term value for our shareholders,” said Tibbetts. “We are streamlining the business, strengthening the balance sheet, and focusing relentlessly on owning and operating high-performing retail and office assets. These actions will position the Company to generate consistent cash flows, disciplined growth, and superior risk-adjusted returns. Our team is aligned, accountable, and executing with rigor – every decision we make is measured against its ability to create lasting value for investors.”

The Company’s new name, AH Realty Trust, Inc., is expected to become effective on March 2, 2026. In connection with the name change, the Company’s operating partnership will be renamed “AH Realty Trust, LP,” which is also expected to be effective March 2, 2026.

In connection with the name change, effective March 2, 2026, the Company’s trading symbols on the NYSE will change from “AHH” to “AHRT” for the Company’s common stock and from “AHH PrA” to “AHRT PrA” for the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock.

While the Company’s rebrand will shape the way it carries out its mission to deliver value to shareholders, it will not impact key components such as its organizational structure, stockholder rights or its qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company’s outstanding securities will remain valid, and no action is required by securityholders because of the name or ticker changes. There will be no change to the Company’s CUSIP numbers in connection with the name and ticker symbol changes.

The Company’s new corporate website, www.ahrealtytrust.com, will go live on March 2, 2026.

  • On October 16, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors unanimously appointed Shawn J. Tibbetts as Chairman of the Board, effective January 1, 2026.

  • On December 10, 2025, the Company acquired Solis Gainesville II. The consideration for such acquisition included the repayment of the Company’s outstanding $26.9 million preferred equity investment in the project.

Financial Results

Net loss attributable to common stockholders and OP Unit holders for the fourth quarter was $1.0 million compared to net income attributable to common stockholders and OP Unit holders of $26.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The period-over-period change was primarily driven by gains on the dispositions of Nexton Square and Market at Mill Creek in the fourth quarter of 2024.

FFO attributable to common stockholders and OP Unit holders for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $23.1 million compared to $29.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The period-over-period decrease in FFO was primarily due to a decrease in the unrealized gains of derivatives and an increase in portfolio NOI, partially offset by an increase in interest expense due to less capitalized interest in 2025 due to properties coming out of development. Normalized FFO attributable to common stockholders and OP Unit holders for the fourth quarter increased to $29.5 million compared to $27.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase in Normalized FFO was primarily due to an increase in portfolio NOI, partially offset by an increase in interest expense due to less capitalized interest in 2025 due to properties coming out of development.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders and OP Unit holders for the full year was $7.9 million compared to net income of $30.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. FFO attributable to common stockholders and OP Unit holders for the full year decreased to $79.4 million compared to $99.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Normalized FFO attributable to common stockholders and OP Unit holders for the full year decreased to $110.1 million compared to $118.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The year‑over‑year changes were positively impacted by higher property NOI and positive releasing spreads, lower capitalized interest due to properties coming out of development, and the impairment of development costs related to undeveloped land under predevelopment in 2024. The year‑over‑year changes were negatively impacted by lower interest income due to decreased rates on real estate financing investments, the gains on the dispositions of Nexton Square and Market at Mill Creek in 2024, and a decrease in fair value of undesignated derivatives in the current year.

Operating Performance

At the end of the fourth quarter, the Company’s retail, office, and multifamily stabilized operating property portfolios were 94.9%, 96.4%, and 94.6% occupied, respectively.

Interest income from real estate financing investments was $3.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025.

Balance Sheet and Financing Activity

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $1.5 billion of total debt outstanding, including $241.0 million outstanding under its revolving credit facility. Total debt outstanding excludes GAAP adjustments and deferred financing costs. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s debt was 96% fixed or economically hedged after considering interest rate swaps.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”). Nareit defines FFO as net income (loss) (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains or losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control, and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity.

FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. The Company uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because it believes that FFO is beneficial to investors as a starting point in measuring the Company’s operational performance. Specifically, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions, which do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared period-over-period, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare the Company’s operating performance with that of other REITs.

However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of the Company’s properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of the Company’s properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact the Company’s results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of the Company’s performance is limited. In addition, other equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the Nareit definition as the Company does, and, accordingly, the Company’s FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of the Company’s performance. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or service indebtedness. Also, FFO should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP.

Management also believes that the computation of FFO in accordance with Nareit’s definition includes certain items that are not indicative of the results provided by the Company’s operating property portfolio and affect the comparability of the Company’s period-over-period performance. Accordingly, management believes that Normalized FFO is a more useful performance measure that excludes certain items, including but not limited to, debt extinguishment losses and prepayment penalties, impairment and accelerated amortization of intangible assets and liabilities, property acquisition, development, and other pursuit costs, mark-to-market adjustments for interest rate derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges, amortization of payments made to purchase interest rate caps and swaps designated as cash flow hedges, provision for unrealized non-cash credit losses, amortization of right-of-use assets attributable to finance leases, severance related costs, and other non-comparable items. Other equity REITs may not calculate Normalized FFO in the same manner as we do, and, accordingly, our Normalized FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ Normalized FFO.

NOI is the measure used by the Company’s chief operating decision-maker to assess segment performance. The Company calculates NOI as segment revenues less segment expenses. Segment revenues include rental revenues (base rent, expense reimbursements, termination fees, and other revenue) for our property segments, general contracting and real estate services revenues for our general contracting and real estate services segment, and interest income for our real estate financing segment. Segment expenses include rental expenses and real estate taxes for our property segments, general contracting and real estate services expenses for our general contracting and real estate services segment, and interest expense for our real estate financing segment. Segment NOI for the general contracting and real estate services and real estate financing segments is also referred to as segment gross profit. NOI is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured in accordance with GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. As a result, NOI should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate NOI in the same manner. The Company considers NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of the Company’s real estate and construction businesses. To calculate NOI on a cash basis, we adjust NOI to exclude the net effects of straight line rent and the amortization of lease incentives and above/below market rents.

For reference, as an aid in understanding the Company’s computation of NOI, NOI Cash Basis, FFO and Normalized FFO, a reconciliation of net income calculated in accordance with GAAP to NOI, NOI Cash Basis, FFO, and Normalized FFO has been included further in this release.

Sonoco Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Results

Company Hosting New York Investor Day Meeting February 17th

HARTSVILLE, S.C., Feb. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sonoco Products Company (“Sonoco” or the “Company”) (NYSE: SON), a global leader in high-value sustainable packaging, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

Summary:

  • Grew fourth quarter net sales to $1.8 billion, up 29.7% from the prior-year quarter, primarily from acquisition activity
  • Reported fourth quarter U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) net income attributable to Sonoco of $332.2 million, up from a loss of $(43.0) million in the same period in 2024, GAAP operating profit of $520.2 million, up from $56.1 million in the same period in 2024, and diluted earnings/(loss) per share (“EPS”) attributable to Sonoco of $3.33, up from $(0.44) in the same period in 2024, primarily due to the gain on the sale of business
  • Improved quarterly adjusted net income attributable to Sonoco by 5.1% year-over-year to $104.7 million, and reported adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.05
  • Achieved fourth quarter adjusted operating profit of $187 million, up 47.1%, and adjusted EBITDA of $272 million, up 10.2% from the prior-year quarter
  • Generated $413 million and $690 million of operating cash flow in the fourth quarter and full year, respectively, which included $196 million in one-time taxes paid during the year on gains from the sale of the divested TFP business
  • Completed the sale of the ThermoSafe business unit (“ThermoSafe”), a leading provider of temperature-assured packaging, to Arsenal Capital Partners on November 3, 2025, and received $656 million in gross cash proceeds at closing
  • Reduced net debt by $965 million and $2.7 billion in the fourth quarter and full year 2025, respectively, ending the year with net leverage of approximately 3.0x. (Net debt/adjusted EBITDA)

2026 Guidance:

  • Targeting full-year adjusted diluted earnings per share of $5.80 to $6.20. Full-year adjusted EBITDA is expected to be $1.25 billion to $1.35 billion. Cash flows from operating activities are expected to be $700 million to $800 million.
  • The Company will continue to simplify its operating and reporting structure in 2026 and will only report its results in two segments, Consumer Packaging and Industrial Paper Packaging. The Company’s industrial plastics packaging business, which was the only remaining business in All Other, will be included in the Industrial Paper Packaging segment. The Company believes this reporting structure appropriately represents the management of its business portfolio going forward.

*Note: References in today’s news release to consolidated “net sales,” “operating profit,” and “adjusted operating profit,” and Consumer Packaging “segment operating profit” and “segment adjusted EBITDA,” along with the corresponding year-over-year comparable results, do not include results of the Company’s Thermoformed and Flexibles Packaging and global Trident businesses (“TFP”), which was sold in April 2025 and is accounted for as discontinued operations in periods prior to the sale.

  • Fourth quarter 2025 net sales of $1.8 billion reflect an increase of 29.7% compared to the corresponding prior-year quarter, driven by sales added from our Metal Packaging Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) business following the December 4, 2024 acquisition of Titan Holdings I B.V. (“Eviosys”). Additionally, sales benefited from higher prices implemented to offset the effects of inflation and tariffs and from the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates.
  • GAAP operating profit for the fourth quarter increased to $520 million due to the gain on the sale of ThermoSafe, operating profit from our Metal Packaging EMEA business following the Eviosys acquisition, a positive price/cost environment, solid productivity from procurement savings, production efficiencies, and fixed cost reduction initiatives. These positive factors were partially offset by the impact of divestitures and lower volume/mix.
  • Effective tax rates on GAAP income from continuing operations before income taxes and adjusted income from continuing operations before income taxes, were 24.9% and 22.5%, respectively, in the fourth quarter, compared to 36.6% and 24.8%, respectively, in the same period in 2024.

“Our Sonoco team executed well despite a difficult macroeconomic environment, delivering strong operating results, reducing net debt by approximately 40% year-over-year and lowering the Company’s net leverage ratio to approximately 3.0x,” said Howard Coker, President and Chief Executive Officer. “In addition, we substantially concluded our portfolio transformation following the successful divestiture of ThermoSafe and further simplified our Consumer Packaging segment by consolidating our global Metal Packaging and Rigid Paper Containers businesses into a single integrated structure — driven geographically — which we believe enhances our consumer go-to-market strategy, focuses our technology expertise and drives additional synergies across our global channels.”

Paul Joachimczyk, Sonoco’s Chief Financial Officer, added, “Our Consumer Packaging segment achieved record fourth quarter sales, operating profit and adjusted EBITDA while growing adjusted EBITDA margin by 110 basis points. The addition of Metal Packaging EMEA and strong results from our Metal Packaging U.S. business in the quarter drove the increase. Our Industrial Paper Packaging segment also slightly improved operating profit and adjusted EBITDA, while expanding operating profit and adjusted EBITDA margins for the ninth consecutive quarter driven by year-over-year productivity improvements.”

“Operating cash flow for 2025 was $690 million, which included $196 million in one-time taxes paid during the year on gains from the sale of the divested TFP business.”

Segment Results

(Dollars in millions except per share data)

Sonoco reports its financial results in two reportable segments: Consumer Packaging (“Consumer”) and Industrial Paper Packaging (“Industrial”), with all remaining businesses reported as All Other.

  Three Months Ended Twelve Months Ended
Consumer December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Change December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Change
             
Net sales1 $ 1,142   $ 705   62.1 % $ 4,874   $ 2,532   92.5 %
Segment operating profit1 $ 117   $ 66   77.0 % $ 627   $ 295   112.6 %

Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin1, 2   15.2 %   14.1 %     17.2 %   16.0 %  

  • Consumer segment net sales grew 62.1%, attributable to Metal Packaging EMEA following the acquisition of Eviosys, price increases implemented to offset the effects of inflation and tariffs, and the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates. These increases were partially offset by the impact of divestitures and softer volumes in the rigid paper packaging business.
  • Segment operating profit and segment adjusted EBITDA grew primarily as a result of profits from Metal Packaging EMEA partially offset by the softer volumes in the rigid paper packaging business.
  Three Months Ended Twelve Months Ended
Industrial December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Change December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Change
             
Net sales $ 568   $ 571   % $ 2,299   $ 2,349   (2.1 )%
Segment operating profit $ 70   $ 69   2.3 % $ 312   $ 272   15.0 %
Segment operating profit margin   12.4 %   12.0 %     13.6 %   11.6 %  
Segment Adjusted EBITDA2 $ 103   $ 102   1.3 % $ 441   $ 397   11.0 %
Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin2   18.2 %   17.9 %     19.2 %   16.9 %  

  • Industrial segment net sales remained relatively flat at $568 million, as year-over-year price gains were offset by the loss of sales from the 2024 divestiture of two production facilities in China and modest volume declines across the segment.
  • Segment operating profit margin was 12.4%, up slightly from the prior period, and adjusted EBITDA margin increased slightly to 18.2% as productivity from certain procurement savings, production efficiencies, and fixed cost reduction initiatives were only partially offset by lower volume/mix.

Adjusted EBITDA margin2   15.3 %   9.0 %     17.2 %   15.4 %    

  • Net sales declined due to the divestiture of ThermoSafe along with lower volume from industrial plastics.
  • Operating profit and adjusted EBITDA improved 47.6% and 10.5%, respectively, year-over-year as solid productivity from certain procurement savings, production efficiencies, and fixed cost reduction initiatives offset lower volumes from industrial plastics.
  • The Company will continue to simplify its operating and reporting structure in 2026 and will only report its results in two segments, Consumer Packaging and Industrial Paper Packaging. The Company’s industrial plastics packaging business, which was the only remaining business in All Other, will be included in the Industrial Paper Packaging segment. The Company believes this reporting structure appropriately represents the management of its business portfolio going forward.

1Excludes results of discontinued operations.
2Segment and All Other adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures. See the Company’s reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures later in this release.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

  • Cash and cash equivalents were $378 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $443 million, including discontinued operations, as of December 31, 2024, with the decrease primarily related to changes in net working capital and net debt reduction.
  • Total debt and net debt were $4.3 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2025, reflecting decreases of $2.7 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively, compared to December 31, 2024, including discontinued operations. These decreases were primarily related to the repayment of borrowings under the Company’s term loan facility using proceeds from the sales of TFP and ThermoSafe.
  • On December 31, 2025, the Company had available liquidity of $1.6 billion, comprising available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility of $1.3 billion and cash on hand.
  • Cash flow from operating activities for the period ended December 31, 2025 was an inflow of $690 million, compared to an inflow of $834 million in the same period of 2024. The main driver of the year-over-year change in operating cash flow was the increased need for working capital during the year related to Metal Packaging EMEA.
  • Capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sales of fixed assets, for 2025 were $297 million, compared to $378 million last year.
  • Free Cash Flow for 2025 was $393 million compared to $456 million 2024. Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. See the Company’s definition of Free Cash Flow, the explanation as to why it is used, and the reconciliation to net cash provided by operating activities later in this release.
  • Dividends paid during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 increased to $208 million compared to $203 million in the same period of the prior year.

Guidance

(1)
        

Full-Year 2026

  • Net Revenue: $7.25 billion to $7.75 billion
  • Adjusted EPS(2): Adjusted to $5.80 to $6.20 per diluted share
  • Adjusted EBITDA(2): $1.25 billion to $1.35 billion
  • Cash flow from operating activities: $700 million to $800 million, including projected payments of taxes on gains from divestitures and restructuring costs

Commenting on Sonoco’s outlook, Joachimczyk said, “Excluding results from divested businesses in 2025, we are targeting a 20% improvement in adjusted earnings in 2026. In addition to our planned growth initiatives, we are working to achieve our financial targets by implementing a profitability performance plan which is focused on driving significant costs savings over the next three years through operational improvement, commercial excellence and structural transformation.”

Coker concluded, “Over the past several years, we have aligned and scaled our portfolio around the strengths of Sonoco’s core metal and paper consumer and industrial packaging businesses. As a result of this transformation, we significantly grew our top-line and bottom-line while expanding margins and generating significant normalized cash flow. We believe our foundation has the potential to deliver improved financial performance in 2026 and beyond. While we expect to face an uncertain market environment near term, we believe we can deliver on our strategic priorities by driving sustainable growth, further expanding margins and efficiently allocating capital by investing in ourselves through technology and innovation, maintaining a strong balance sheet and returning capital to shareholders.”

(1)Although the Company believes the assumptions reflected in the range of guidance are reasonable, given the uncertainty regarding the future performance of the overall economy, the effects of tariffs, trade policy and inflation, the challenges in global supply chains, potential changes in raw material prices, other costs, and the Company’s effective tax rate, as well as other risks and uncertainties, including those related to the integration of Eviosys and described below, actual results could vary substantially. Further information can be found in the section entitled “Forward-looking Statements” in this release.

(2) Full year 2026 GAAP guidance is not provided in this release due to the likely occurrence of one or more of the following, the timing and magnitude of which we are unable to reliably forecast without unreasonable efforts: restructuring costs and restructuring-related impairment charges, acquisition/divestiture-related costs, gains or losses from the sale of businesses and the income tax effects of these items and/or other income tax-related events. These items could have a significant impact on the Company’s future GAAP financial results. Accordingly, quantitative reconciliations of Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA guidance and net debt/Adjusted EBITDA targets to the nearest comparable GAAP measures have been omitted in reliance on the exception provided by Item 10 of Regulation S-K.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company’s results, determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are referred to as “as reported” or “GAAP” results. The Company uses certain financial performance measures, both internally and externally, that are not in conformity with GAAP (referred to as “non-GAAP financial measures”) to assess and communicate the financial performance of the Company. These non-GAAP financial measures, which are identified using the term “Adjusted” (for example, “Adjusted Operating Profit,” “Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Sonoco,” and “Adjusted Diluted EPS”), reflect adjustments to the Company’s GAAP operating results to exclude amounts, including the associated tax effects where applicable, relating to:

  • restructuring/asset impairment charges1;
  • acquisition, integration and divestiture-related costs;
  • gains or losses from the divestiture of businesses;
  • losses from the early extinguishment of debt;
  • non-operating pension costs;
  • amortization expense on acquisition intangibles;
  • changes in last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory reserves;
  • certain income tax events and adjustments;
  • derivative gains/losses;
  • other non-operating income and losses; and
  • certain other items, if any.


1Restructuring and restructuring-related asset impairment charges are a recurring item as the Company’s restructuring programs usually require several years to fully implement, and the Company is continually seeking to take actions that could enhance its efficiency. Although recurring, these charges are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period due to the varying levels of restructuring activity, the inherent imprecision in the estimates used to recognize the impairment of assets, and the wide variety of costs and taxes associated with severance and termination benefits in the countries in which the restructuring actions occur.

The Company’s management believes the exclusion of the amounts related to the above-listed items improves the period-to-period comparability and analysis of the underlying financial performance of the business.

In addition to the “Adjusted” results described above, the Company also uses Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Net Debt and Net Leverage. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding the following: interest expense; interest income; provision for income taxes; depreciation and amortization expense; non-operating pension costs; net income/loss attributable to noncontrolling interests; restructuring/asset impairment charges; changes in LIFO inventory reserves; gains/losses from the divestiture of businesses; acquisition, integration and divestiture-related costs; other income; derivative gains/losses; and other non-GAAP adjustments, if any, that may arise from time to time. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is defined as segment operating profit plus depreciation and amortization expense and equity in earnings of affiliates, net of tax. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Segment Adjusted EBITDA divided by segment net sales. Net Debt is defined as the total of the Company’s short and long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents. Net Leverage is defined as the Company’s Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to the closest GAAP measure of segment profitability, segment operating profit as the Company does not calculate net income by segment. Segment operating profit is the measure of segment profit or loss reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 280 – “Segment Reporting,” as prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.

Segment results, which are reviewed by the Company’s management to evaluate segment performance, do not include the following: restructuring/asset impairment charges; amortization of acquisition intangibles; acquisition, integration and divestiture-related costs; changes in LIFO inventory reserves; gains/losses from the sale of businesses; gains/losses from derivatives; or certain other items, if any, the exclusion of which the Company believes improves the comparability and analysis of the ongoing operating performance of the business. Accordingly, the term “segment operating profit” is defined as the segment’s portion of “operating profit” excluding those items. All other general corporate expenses have been allocated as operating costs to each of the Company’s reportable segments and All Other, except for costs related to discontinued operations.

The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with, nor are they an alternative for, measures conforming to GAAP, and they may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles.

The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors with information to evaluate Sonoco’s operating results in a manner similar to how management evaluates business performance. The Company consistently applies its non-GAAP financial measures presented herein and uses them for internal planning and forecasting purposes, to evaluate its ongoing operations, and to evaluate the ultimate performance of management and each business unit against plans/forecasts. In addition, these same non-GAAP financial measures are used in determining incentive compensation for the entire management team and in providing earnings guidance to the investing community.

Material limitations associated with the use of such measures include that they do not reflect all period costs included in operating expenses and may not be comparable with similarly named financial measures of other companies. Furthermore, the calculations of these non-GAAP financial measures are based on subjective determinations of management regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances that the investor may find material and view differently.

To compensate for any limitations in such non-GAAP financial measures, management believes that it is useful in evaluating the Company’s results to review both GAAP information, which includes all of the items impacting financial results, and the related non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain elements, as described above. Further, Sonoco management does not, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider any non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Whenever reviewing a non-GAAP financial measure, investors are encouraged to review and consider the related reconciliation to understand how it differs from the most directly comparable GAAP measure.


Free Cash Flow

The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measure of “Free Cash Flow,” which it defines as cash flow from operations minus net capital expenditures. Net capital expenditures are defined as capital expenditures minus proceeds from the disposition of capital assets. Free Cash Flow may not represent the amount of cash flow available for general discretionary use because it excludes non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt repayments and required settlements of recorded and/or contingent liabilities not reflected in cash flow from operations.

GUANGZHOU, China, Feb. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — EHang Holdings Limited (Nasdaq: EH) (“EHang” or the “Company”), a global leader in Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) technology, announced a dual-feature aerial performance at the Hefei sub-venue of the 2026 China Media Group (CMG) Spring Festival Gala. The performance featured a formation of 16 EH216-S pilotless human-carrying eVTOL aircraft alongside a record-breaking drone light show involving 22,580 next-generation GHOSTDRONE 4.0 (“GD4.0”) unmanned aerial vehicles (“UAVs”), the performance delivered a futuristic visual spectacle supported by industry-leading flight safety and fleet orchestration technologies, offering sincere Lunar New Year wishes to a global audience.

Among the highlights, the 22,580 GD4.0 formation drones at the CMG 2026 Spring Festival Gala set a new world record, earning the Guinness World Records™ title for “the most multirotor/drones airborne simultaneously from a single computer.”

During the segment of“He Yun Man Jiang Huai”at the Hefei branch venue of the Spring Festival Gala, 16 EH216-Saircraft took off simultaneously and formed a perfect circular formation above the “Eye of Anhui”, the main stage in Hefei Luogang Park. Equipped with customized stage lighting modules, the aircraft illuminated the stage through safe, stable, and precisely coordinated flight,seamlessly blending the technological allure of pilotless “air taxis” with the festive atmosphere of family reunion.

The synchronized flight of 16 aircraft at the Spring Festival Gala showcases EHang’s industry leadership and professionalism in cutting-edge technological innovation sectors, including cluster Command-and-Control System, precise algorithmic control, multi-scenario adaptive flight, and professional service support.

As the world’s first pilotless human-carrying eVTOL aircraft to obtain Type Certificate (TC), Production Certificate (PC), and Standard Airworthiness Certificate (AC) from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), and currently conducting trial operations at Luogang Park, the coordinated flight of 16 EH216-S aircraft also marked the largest simultaneous public flight of pilotless human-carrying eVTOL aircraft to date. It offered a direct showcase of China’s technological prowess in new-era civil aviation and vividly illustrated the exciting potential of the low-altitude economy within the celebratory New Year setting.

In another segment at the Hefei branch venue of the Spring Festival Gala, a drone light show of 22,580 GD4.0 formation drones from EHang’s subsidiary, EHang Egret, took to the skies above the main stage. Forming intricate 3D animations of the sky city and the iconic horse-head walls of Hui-style architecture. Through synchronized light choreography integrated with the stage design, the drones created an immersive “aerial theater” fusing technology and culture. This performance amplified the joyous, auspicious, and harmonious spirit of the festival, immersing global viewers in a powerful visual experience. Prior to the official Guinness World Record™ attempt and the Gala, EHang Egret had successfully conducted multiple performances in Hefei Luogang Park involving over 20,000 drones simultaneously, fully demonstrating the GD4.0’s robust performance in complex environments, dynamic performance capabilities, and technological strengths in high-precision positioning and intelligent coordination.

The performance venue, Hefei Luogang Park, is a multifunctional, multi-dimensional space that has become one of China’s most representative testing grounds and demonstration sites for low-altitude economy development. It currently hosts two Urban Air Mobility (UAM) centers capable of eVTOL flight services. Since March 2025, following the grant of one of China’s first Air Operator Certificates (OC) for pilotless human-carrying eVTOL aircraft by the CAAC to EHang’s local operator, Hefei HeYi Aviation, regular trial operations of the EH216-S have been conducted there. With its comprehensive infrastructure, Luogang Park is also well suited for EHang Egret to conduct routine drone light shows, gradually fostering a citywide ecosystem integrating low-altitude technology and culture.

Mr. Wang Zhao, Chief Operating Officer of EHang, stated, “The appearance of 16 EH216-S and 22,580 GD4.0 drones in multi-aircraft formations at the CMG Spring Festival Gala showcases not only EHang’s formidable technological strength and creative commercial capabilities but also comprehensively demonstrates the adaptability and maturity of our superior command-and-control technology across diverse scenarios. This lays a solid technical foundation for the large-scale commercial operation of pilotless aircraft in low-altitude economy applications. The Guinness World Record™ achieved by EHang Egret and the Gala performance further elevate and solidify the EHang brand’s influence, providing a significant platform for public awareness and understanding of the low-altitude economy. Driven by our long-term commitment to continuous innovation and technological iteration, EHang’s pilotless aircraft are designed not only for major events displays but for practical applications in passenger transportation, logistics, firefighting and emergency response, smart city management, and aerial media services. Through core technology R&D and the implementation of commercial services, we aim to bring scalable Chinese low-altitude solutions to global markets and enable these new technologies to serve a broader consumer base.”

UNIQURE N.V. CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT COMPLAINT ALLEGEGATIONS


uniQure is a biotechnology company developing gene therapies for rare diseases, including Huntington’s disease (“HD”). uniQure is incorporated in The Netherlands with its principal executive offices in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

The Company’s leading drug candidate is AMT-130, a novel gene therapy being developed to slow the progression of HD, a usually fatal, inherited genetic disorder that causes nerve cells in the brain to break down, leading to problems with movement and thinking, as well as psychiatric issues. There is no existing cure or approved means for slowing the progression of the disease. Some drugs can address certain HD symptoms, but do not halt its progression to a usually fatal outcome. AMT-130 is one of a very few drugs in testing intended to slow the progression of HD. In March 2022, uniQure completed patient enrollment for two, ongoing multi-center, dose-escalating Phase I/II clinical trials for AMT-130 called the Pivotal Phase I/II Study of AMT-130 in patients with HD (the “Pivotal Study”).

According to the Defendants, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) previously agreed that uniQure’s Pivotal Study would not include any placebo comparator, but instead, the Pivotal Study results could be compared to an external historical data set, known as Enroll-HD or ENROLL-HD, and the analysis derived from such comparison potentially could serve as the basis for uniQure’s Biologics License Application (“BLA”) submission to the FDA for approval to use AMT-130 to treat patients with HD.

Indeed, Defendant Matthew Kapusta, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, assured investors of the Company’s alignment with the FDA during calls with investors on June 2, 2025, and July 29, 2025.

The Class Period begins on September 24, 2025, when the Company announced topline results of the Pivotal Study. Notably, the Company emphasized that AMT-130 saw a “mean reduction from baseline in cerebrospinal neurofilament light protein” (“CSF NfL”)—which uniQure asserted was “a well-characterized, supportive biomarker of neurodegeneration.” Accordingly, uniQure explained that “[e]levation in CSF NfL has been shown to be strongly associated with greater clinical severity of [HD].” Thus, based on the totality of the results and as compared to data from ENROLL-HD, investors were led to believe that AMT-130 was effective in slowing the neurodegeneration in patients with HD and that uniQure would file for accelerated approval of a BLA for AMT-130 in the near-term. During the related investor conference held that same day, Defendant Kapusta touted the study results and asserted that “we believe these findings provide compelling and clinically meaningful evidence of AMT-130 disease modifying potential.”

Additionally, Defendant Walid Abi-Saab, the Company’s Chief Medical Officer, reminded investors that uniQure previously discussed the trial design with the FDA and that the FDA agreed that “cUHDRS could serve as an acceptable registrational, intermediate clinical endpoint for accelerated approval.” Moreover, he stated that “[t]he FDA also agreed that ENROLL-HD . . . may be acceptable as the external control dataset for the primary analysis, with each dose matched the corresponding controls based on their baseline characteristics.” Thus, investors were led to believe that there was a high likelihood that AMT-130 would receive accelerated approval from the FDA after the Company’s planned BLA submission in the first quarter of 2026. The market acted accordingly and, in response to Defendants’ statements, the price of the Company’s ordinary shares jumped from a close of $13.66 per share on September 23, 2025, to close at $47.50 per share on September 24, 2025, a nearly 250% increase. By October 29, 2025, uniQure ordinary shares were trading above $70.00 per share.

Capitalizing on the substantial increase in the value of uniQure ordinary shares, the Company publicly offered more than 5.7 million uniQure ordinary shares, and more than 500,000 pre-funded warrants to purchase ordinary shares, over the next several days after the release of the Pivotal Study results (the “September 2025 Offering”). Despite the fact that AMT-130’s future remained uncertain pending uniQure’s discussion of the Pivotal Study results with the FDA, in the prospectus supplement to the September 2025 Offering, uniQure explained that it was engaging in the September 2025 Offering in order to “fund our commercialization readiness activities” and “the potential commercial launch of AMT-130 and related commercialization activities.” Through the September 2025 Offering, uniQure generated approximately $345 million in proceeds (before expenses).

Investors learned the truth about the Company’s prospects and the BLA timeline for AMT-130 on November 3, 2025, when uniQure revealed that “the FDA currently no longer agrees that the data from the Phase I/II studies of AMT-130 in comparison to an external control, as per the prespecified protocols and statistical analysis plans shared with the FDA in advance of the analyses, may be adequate to provide the primary evidence in support of a BLA submission.” Although the Company “plan[ned] to urgently interact with the FDA to find a path forward for the timely accelerated approval of AMT-130,” uniQure admitted that “the timing of the BLA submission for AMT-130 is now unclear.”   On this news, the price of uniQure ordinary shares plummeted $33.40 per share, or more than 49%, from a close of $67.69 per share on October 31, 2025, to close at $34.29 per share on November 3, 2025.

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts, about the Company’s business and operations. Specifically, Defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the design of uniQure’s Pivotal Study—including comparison of the Pivotal Study results to the ENROLL-HD external historical data set—was not fully approved by the FDA; (2) Defendants downplayed the likelihood that, despite purportedly highly successful results from the Pivotal Study, uniQure would have to delay its BLA timeline to perform additional studies to supplement its BLA submission; and (3) as a result, Defendants’ statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects lacked a reasonable basis.


THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS FOR UNIQURE INVESTORS:

uniQure investors may, no later than April 13, 2026, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation.  The lead plaintiff is usually the investor or small group of investors who have the largest financial interest and who are also adequate and typical of the proposed class of investors. The lead plaintiff selects counsel to represent the lead plaintiff and the class and these attorneys, if approved by the court, are lead or class counsel. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision of whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff.


Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP
encourages uniQure investors to contact the firm directly for more information about the lawsuit.

Smithfield Foods to Build New State-of-the-Art Processing Facility in Sioux Falls, South Dakota

Partnership with City of Sioux Falls and State of South Dakota Represents Defining Investment in American Agriculture

SIOUX FALLS, S.D., Feb. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Smithfield Foods, Inc. (Nasdaq: SFD), an American food company and an industry leader in value-added packaged meats and fresh pork, today announced it has initiated the approval process to build a new state-of-the-art packaged meats and fresh pork processing facility in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The new facility, which is subject to permitting and other regulatory and design approvals, will be built in Foundation Park, a 1,000+-acre heavy industrial park located in northwest Sioux Falls, and will replace Smithfield’s existing plant, which has played a central role in the regional economy for more than 100 years. The company currently employs 3,200 people in Sioux Falls, providing $200 million in wages annually, and supports thousands of indirect jobs in agriculture and other sectors.

A Defining Moment

A Media Snippet accompanying this announcement is available by clicking on this link.

Smithfield’s preliminary estimate of the proposed investment is up to $1.3 billion over the next three years. The investment is contingent on securing required permits and other regulatory approvals as well as approval of the final facility design by Smithfield’s board of directors.

The proposed combined fresh pork and packaged meats facility will be the most modern of its kind in the U.S., with highly efficient process flow, advanced automation technology and a streamlined design. The new, best-in-class facility will deliver significant efficiency gains to Smithfield’s fresh pork and high-value packaged meats operations.

Smithfield has worked in partnership with South Dakota Governor Larry Rhoden, Sioux Falls Mayor Paul TenHaken and the Sioux Falls Development Foundation on the opportunity to build the new facility outside of downtown Sioux Falls. The new facility will support independent hog farmers, corn and soybean producers and other agricultural sectors that fuel the pork supply chain in South Dakota and the surrounding region.

“This highly automated facility will represent a major investment in Sioux Falls, the state of South Dakota and the future of American agriculture,” said Shane Smith, president and CEO of Smithfield Foods. “Smithfield’s investment supports our long-term strategy of continuing to grow and optimize our value-added packaged meats and fresh pork operations to deliver innovation, convenience and value to our customers.”

“Food security equals national security, so food production and processing will continue to play a vital role in South Dakota’s economy,” said Governor Larry Rhoden. “Smithfield’s proposed investment in South Dakota opens up greater opportunity for our state to expand livestock production, and the company’s decision to relocate from downtown Sioux Falls opens up the opportunity to revitalize the downtown riverfront. This is a win-win-win-win for producers, the company, the city, and the state of South Dakota.”

“Today’s announcement marks a historic moment for our city and state. For more than a century, Smithfield has been a cornerstone of our community, and this new, state-of-the-art facility reaffirms their long-term commitment to Sioux Falls and the region—supporting our ag economy and thousands of local jobs for generations to come,” said Sioux Falls Mayor Paul TenHaken. “This investment by Smithfield unlocks a once-in-a-generation opportunity to redevelop the existing site in downtown Sioux Falls when the time is right.”

“Smithfield’s investment in a new facility in Sioux Falls will have a transformational impact on our community and our agriculture economy,” said Bob Mundt, president and CEO of the Sioux Falls Development Foundation. “The new facility will bring skilled jobs for Smithfield’s workforce, provide renewed value-added agriculture opportunities for regional producers and create an incredible redevelopment opportunity in Downtown Sioux Falls. We’re grateful for Smithfield’s commitment to Sioux Falls and are looking forward to welcoming them to their new home in Foundation Park.”

If approved, Smithfield’s new state-of-the-art facility will be constructed in Foundation Park, the state’s largest industrial park, at the intersection of Interstates 29 and 90 in Sioux Falls. Site work is expected to begin at the new location in the spring of 2026 with initial groundbreaking anticipated in the first half of 2027 and production expected to begin at the end of 2028.

Stoker’s Introduces Stoker’s Proud: A New Value Driven Dip Built on American Craftsmanship

Stoker’s Proud delivers a new experience at a remarkable value

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Stoker’s, a category leader in 100% American-made smokeless tobacco for more than 85 years, announced the launch of Stoker’s Proud®, a new sub-brand designed to meet growing consumer demand for high-quality, affordable tobacco products—without compromising the standards that define the Stoker’s name.

As value-focused segments continue to grow, driven by consumers seeking more accessible price options, Stoker’s Proud offers a smart extension of the Stoker’s portfolio. The new sub-brand delivers the same commitment to quality and consistency Stoker’s is known for, while providing a distinct product experience and price point that complement the flagship brand.

Like Stoker’s, Stoker’s Proud is made with 100% American-grown tobacco and proudly manufactured in the USA, using Stoker’s time-honored curing and flavoring processes. The product features a more traditional long cut tobacco than Stoker’s signature long cut, offering a familiar format with subtle differences in taste and texture. It broadens the portfolio by providing an accessible option for a distinct consumer segment, while preserving the brand’s core offerings.

Stoker’s Proud launches in two popular styles:

  • Damn Straight, Long Cut
  • American Wintergreen, Long Cut

Both are offered in a classic 1.2-ounce can format, providing convenience and familiarity in a well-known configuration.

“Stoker’s Proud represents an exciting next chapter for our brand,” said Thomas Helms III, senior brand director at Stoker’s. “As more consumers look for affordable options, Stoker’s Proud allows us to serve that demand while staying true to our American-made heritage and preserving the positioning of our core Stoker’s products.”

Product Highlights

  • Classic 1.2-ounce can format, premium embossed metal lid
  • 100% Kentucky and Tennessee grown tobacco; manufactured in the USA
  • Available in popular styles: Long Cut Straight and Long Cut Wintergreen
  • Backed by more than 85 years of Stoker’s craftsmanship

Stoker’s Proud is now available through authorized distributors and select retailers nationwide.
