Sonoco Increases Quarterly Common Stock Dividend

Celebrates 100 Consecutive Years of Dividend Distributions

HARTSVILLE, S.C., April 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Board of Directors of Sonoco (NYSE: SON) today increased its quarterly common stock dividend to $0.53 per shares as it celebrated the 100th consecutive year of paying dividends to its shareholders at the Company’s annual meeting. The new quarterly dividend will be paid on June 10, 2025, to shareholders of record on May 9, 2025.

With the increase, Sonoco’s annual dividend payout moves to $2.12 per share up from $2.08 per share. Future quarterly declarations and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to final determination by Sonoco’s Board of Directors.

According to Howard Coker, president and chief executive officer, this is the 400th consecutive quarter, dating back to 1925, that the Company has paid dividends to shareholders, and is the 42nd consecutive year the Company has increased its dividend. Based on the closing price of Sonoco’s common stock on April 15, 2025, the Company’s dividend provides an approximate 4.8 percent yield, which is more than double the dividend yield of the S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index.

“Sonoco’s goal is to increase its long-term profitability and return capital to shareholders,” Coker said. “Over the past two years the Company has generated approximately $1.7 billion in operating cash flow which has been used to invest in future growth and to drive productivity savings. While we are focused on using free cash flow to lower leverage following the recent acquisition of Eviosys, our dividend remains an important part of our value creation story.”

SWKS INVESTOR DEADLINE: Skyworks Solutions, Inc. Investors with Substantial Losses Have Opportunity to Lead Investor Class Action Lawsuit

PR Newswire


SAN DIEGO
, April 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announces that purchasers or acquirers of Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: SWKS) securities between July 30, 2024 and February 5, 2025, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), have until Monday, May 5, 2025 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff of the Skyworks class action lawsuit.  Captioned Nunez v. Skyworks Solutions, Inc., No. 25-cv-00411 (C.D. Cal.), the Skyworks class action lawsuit charges Skyworks as well as certain of Skyworks’ top executives with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

If you suffered substantial losses and wish to serve as lead plaintiff of the Skyworks class action lawsuit, please provide your information here:


https://www.rgrdlaw.com/cases-skyworks-solutions-inc-class-action-lawsuit-swks.html
 

You can also contact attorneys J.C. Sanchez or Jennifer N. Caringal of Robbins Geller by calling 800/449-4900 or via e-mail at [email protected].

CASE ALLEGATIONS: Skyworks designs, develops, manufactures, and markets proprietary semiconductor products.

The Skyworks class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) defendants created the false impression that they possessed reliable information pertaining to Skyworks’ projected revenue outlook and anticipated growth while also minimizing risk from smartphone upgrade cycles and macroeconomic fluctuations; (ii) Skyworks’ optimistic reports of growth, earnings potential, and anticipated margins fell short of reality as they relied far too heavily on Skyworks’ partnership with its largest customer and launch of that customer’s newest phone; and (iii) Skyworks was not equipped to execute on their perceived growth potential.

The Skyworks class action lawsuit further alleges that on February 5, 2025, Skyworks announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 and provided lower-than anticipated revenue guidance for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, attributing the results and low guidance to a “competitive landscape” that had “intensified” in recent years.  On this news, the price of Skyworks stock fell more than 24%, according to the complaint.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired Skyworks securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Skyworks class action lawsuit.  A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class.  A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Skyworks class action lawsuit.  The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Skyworks class action lawsuit.  An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Skyworks class action lawsuit.

Zynex, headquartered in Englewood, CO, is a medical device company that makes electrotherapy devices for pain management and rehabilitation.

According to the lawsuit, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Zynex shipped products, including electrodes, in excess of demand; (2) as a result, Zynex was able to inflate its revenue; (3) the Company’s practice of filing false claims drew scrutiny from insurers, including Tricare; and (4) thus, it was reasonably likely that Zynex would face adverse consequences, including removal from insurer networks and penalties from the federal government.

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, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. Communicating with any counsel is not necessary to participate or share in any recovery achieved in this case. Any member of the purported class may move the Court to serve as a lead plaintiff through counsel of his/her choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an inactive class member.

Berger Montague, with offices in Philadelphia, Minneapolis, Delaware, Washington, D.C., San Diego, San Francisco and Chicago, has been a pioneer in securities class action litigation since its founding in 1970. Berger Montague has represented individual and institutional investors for over five decades and serves as lead counsel in courts throughout the United States.

Gulfstream G800 Earns FAA and EASA Certifications

PR Newswire

World’s Longest-Range Business Aircraft Certified with Enhanced Performance Capabilities


SAVANNAH, Ga.
, April 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Gulfstream Aerospace Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of General Dynamics (NYSE:GD), announced today that the all-new Gulfstream G800, the world’s longest-range business aircraft, has earned type certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) along with certification from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and has done so with even greater performance capabilities than originally anticipated. 

The certifications confirm enhanced performance for the aircraft, including a range of 8,200 nautical miles/15,186 kilometers at the long-range cruise speed of Mach 0.85, an increase of 200 nm/370 km over original projections. The G800 also can travel 7,000 nm/12,964 km at its high-speed cruise of Mach 0.90 or an unprecedented 8,000 nm/14,816 km at Mach 0.87. The aircraft’s maximum operating speed has increased to Mach 0.935 from Mach 0.925.

In addition, the G800 was certified with a balanced field length takeoff distance of 5,812 feet/1,771 meters and a landing distance of 3,105 ft/946 m (standard ISA day, sea level), both shorter than initially announced, giving customers access to more airports.

“With the certification of the G800, Gulfstream has again exceeded expectations thanks to the expertise and rigor of our flight test, certification and manufacturing teams,” said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream. “The G800 marks the latest evolution of business aviation as we continue to build the next-generation fleet and bring industry-leading performance and efficiency to the market. With the capability enhancements we have achieved, Gulfstream customers will greatly benefit from the increased flexibility and range the G800 offers.”

The G800 features unparalleled cabin comfort, including the industry’s lowest cabin altitude of 2,840 ft/866 m when flying at 41,000 ft/12,497 m — shared with the Gulfstream G700 — 100% fresh air, a plasma ionization air purification system and 16 Gulfstream Panoramic Oval Windows. The whisper-quiet interior can be configured with up to four living areas or three living areas and a dedicated crew compartment.

The ultralong range, high-speed performance and enhanced fuel-efficiency of the G800 can be attributed to the combination of Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines and the Gulfstream-designed aerodynamic wing and winglet.

“The Gulfstream team never ceases to test the boundaries of what is possible while ensuring the highest standards of safety, quality and customer commitment we are known for,” said Burns. “We have been preparing for this accomplishment and are poised for a seamless G800 entry into service as U.S. and European customer deliveries begin.” 

Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. is a business unit of General Dynamics, a global aerospace and defense company that offers a broad portfolio of products and services in business aviation; ship construction and repair; land combat vehicles, weapons systems and munitions; and technology products and services. General Dynamics employs more than 100,000 people worldwide and generated $47.7 billion in revenue in 2024.

About Key Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains key metrics and non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K. Such non-GAAP financial measures are measures of our historical or future performance, financial position or cash flows that are adjusted to exclude or include amounts that are excluded or included, as the case may be, from the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS.

The table at the end provides IT Services Revenue on a constant currency basis, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated by translating IT Services Revenue from the current reporting period into U.S. dollars based on the currency conversion rate in effect for the prior reporting period. We refer to growth rates in constant currency so that business results may be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Further, in the normal course of business, we may divest a portion of our business which may not be strategic. We refer to the growth rates in both reported and constant currency adjusting for such divestments in order to represent the comparable growth rates.

Our key metrics and non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with IFRS and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Our key metrics and non-GAAP financial measures are not comparable to, nor should be substituted for, an analysis of our revenue over time and involve estimates and judgments. In addition to our non-GAAP measures, the financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure should be carefully evaluated.

Results for the Quarter and Year ended March 31, 2025, prepared under IFRS, along with individual business segment reports, are available in the Investors section of our website www.wipro.com/investors/
