Lots of Positives.  A solid back-to-school sell-through in North America, increased market share, a rebound in sales of commercial products, double digit growth in the Kensington brand and computer accessories category, the International segment up over 30% on a comp basis, and growth for gaming accessories in the EMEA and International regions.

But a Tough Environment. Significant high inflation, war in Ukraine, the current energy crisis, and the stronger U.S. dollar, are causing retailers to be cautious on inventory replenishment and impacting consumer sentiment. Lower sales volume has resulted in stranded fixed costs in manufacturing facilities.

Third Quarter Update. ACCO Brands announced late last week an operating update for the Company’s third quarter, reflecting a more challenging than anticipated operating environment. Europe is being impacted by energy costs and inflation, while a more cautious approach to inventory replenishment is impacting North America. These are more than offsetting a solid back-to-school season and positive return to office trends in North America and double digit sales and profit growth in the International segment.

Changing Figures. Management updated 3Q22 net sales guidance to $480-$490 million, comparable sales growth of (3%)-(2%), and adjusted EPS of $0.23-$0.25. For the year, the Company reduced the outlook with revenue now at $1.94-$1.98 billion, from $2.015-$2.055 billion, comparable sales growth at 0.0%-2.0%, from 4.0%-6.0%, adjusted EPS at $1.05-$1.10, from $1.39-$1.44, and free cash flow of $90-$100 million, from $135-$150 million.
