Expert Statements
Tom Tedford, President and Chief Executive Officer of ACCO Brands
“We delivered third quarter sales consistent with our outlook, driven by a solid back-to-school season in both North America and Mexico and stabilizing trends in Workspace Solutions. Adjusted EPS included net tariff refunds, with underlying operations in line with outlook. We generated strong cash flows and continue to pay down debt, ending September with a consolidated leverage ratio of 3.6x,”

“Technology peripherals remain our strongest long-term growth opportunity, and we closed on the acquisition of Trust, which will expand our tech peripheral portfolio to approach $500 million of pro forma annual sales. With Kensington, PowerA, EPOS and Trust, we now have a scaled platform across consumer and enterprise channels in large growth categories. Our focus is integrating these brands and delivering synergy opportunities,”
