ACCO Brands reported QQ3 2025 revenue of $383.7 million, a year-over-year decline of 8.8% and a quarter-over-quarter drop of 2.8%. Gross profit reached $126.6 million with a gross margin of 32.99%, while operating income stood at $26.0 million, yielding a margin of 6.78%. Net income totaled $4.0 million and diluted EPS was $0.04 for the quarter. The company posted a negative net income progression on a YoY/QoQ basis, reflecting pressure from mix, input costs, and a higher effective tax rate, with net margin at 1.04% and tax rate shown as a high 72.8% in the period. EBITDA was $26.0 million (6.78% EBITDA margin). Liquidity remained solid with a current ratio of 1.68 and a modest debt posture (debt ratio 5.6%, debt/equity 0.19), supporting a positive cash-flow profile: operating cash flow per share $0.78 and free cash flow per share $0.72, alongside cash per share of $0.90. However, inventory days outstanding (~110 days) and receivables days (~69 days) imply working-capital intensity and a cash conversion cycle of about 118 days, underscoring near-term working-capital optimization needs. Management commentary is not included in the dataset, limiting quote-based interpretation, but the quantitative backdrop signals a cautious near-term outlook with potential for margin stabilization if price realization and cost controls take hold. The Quarter-to-Date performance sits within a multi-quarter trend of elevated working-capital requirements and modest top-line momentum, suggesting ACCO remains disciplined on balance-sheet management while pursuing product/channel mix improvements and price leverage to drive margin recovery. The investment implication is a cautious stance pending evidence of improved top-line trajectory and sustainable margin expansion, supported by robust cash generation and conservative leverage.
