What this company does
ACCO Brands designs and sells branded office, school, and workspace products including binders, planners, laminators, and computer accessories under names like Five Star, Swingline, and Kensington. It generates revenue primarily through wholesale distribution of these consumer and commercial products to retailers, e-commerce channels, and businesses globally. Q1 2026 net sales rose 8% to $343.7 million and the company swung to net income largely on a $37.6 million bargain purchase gain from an acquisition, while restructuring costs nearly tripled as management continues reshaping the cost base.
Generated from ACCO's filing dated 2024-02-23
Key risks
- High leverage: $848M long-term debt plus $23.6M notes payable against $680M equity; Q1 operating loss of $10.4M widened from $6.7M.
- Earnings quality: Q1 net income of $19.4M was driven entirely by a $37.6M bargain purchase gain; underlying operations posted an operating loss.
- Accumulated deficit of $663.7M and $520M AOCI loss reflect ongoing FX/pension exposure; goodwill+intangibles of $1.16B exceed equity, raising impairment risk.
