Note 1: Basis of Interim Presentation
In the opinion of the management of Sonoco Products Company (the “Company” or “Sonoco”), the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise stated) necessary to state fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods reported herein. Operating results for the three months ended March 29, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.
With respect to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information of the Company for the three-month periods ending March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019 included in this Form 10-Q, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP reported that they have applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, their separate report dated May 6, 2020 appearing herein, states that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that unaudited financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their report on the unaudited financial information because that report is not a “report” or a “part” of a registration statement prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act.

Note 2: New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-04, "Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting". The ASU is intended to provide optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or by another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The relief offered by this guidance, if adopted, is available to companies for the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect the discontinuation of LIBOR to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," which requires measurement and recognition of expected versus incurred credit losses for financial assets held. The measurement of expected credit losses should be based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of the reported amount. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 in 2020, using the modified retrospective approach and recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of $209, which was offset by a $279 increase to the allowance for doubtful accounts and a $70 decrease to deferred income tax liabilities as of January 1, 2020.
During the three-month period ended March 29, 2020, there have been no other newly issued nor newly applicable accounting pronouncements that have had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. Further, at March 29, 2020, there were no other pronouncements pending adoption that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 3: Acquisitions
On January 10, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of a small tube and core operation in Jacksonville, Florida, from Design Containers, Inc. ("Jacksonville"), for total cash consideration of $3,973.
The preliminary fair values of the assets acquired in connection with the Jacksonville acquisition are as follows:
Jacksonville
Property, plant and equipment$2,773  
Inventories150  
Goodwill1,050  
$3,973  

Goodwill, all of which is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes, consists of increased access to certain markets. Jacksonville's financial results from January 10, 2020 to March 29, 2020 are included in the Company's Paper and Industrial Converted Products segment.
During the three months ended March 29, 2020, the Company continued to finalize its valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the December 31, 2019 acquisition of Thermoform Engineered Quality, LLC, and Plastique Holdings, LTD (together "TEQ") and the August 9, 2019 acquisition of Corenso Holdings America, Inc. ("Corenso") based on new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of their respective acquisition dates. As a result, the following measurement period adjustments were made to the previously disclosed preliminary fair values:
TEQCorenso
Trade accounts receivable$(41) $  
Inventories(204) (536) 
Property, plant and equipment(27)   
Goodwill1,077  616  
Payable to suppliers  (80) 
Other net tangible assets/liabilities(477)   
Deferred income taxes, net(328)   
$  $  

The allocation of the purchase price of TEQ and Corenso to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on the Company's preliminary estimates of their fair value, based on information currently available. Management is continuing to finalize its valuations of certain assets and liabilities including, but not limited to, those listed in the table above, and expects to complete its valuations within one year from their respective dates of acquisition. In addition, final consideration for TEQ is subject to a post-closing adjustment for the change in working capital to the date of closing. This adjustment is expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter 2020.
The Company has accounted for its acquisitions as business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting, in accordance with the business combinations subtopic of the Accounting Standards Codification and has included their results of operations in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income from their respective dates of acquisition.
Costs related to acquisitions and potential acquisitions and divestitures totaling $1,171 and $400 were incurred during the three months ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively. These costs consist primarily of legal and professional fees and are included in "Selling, general and administrative expenses" in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Note 4: Shareholders' Equity
Earnings per Share
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:
Three Months Ended
March 29, 2020March 31, 2019
Numerator:
Net income attributable to Sonoco$80,445  $73,663  
Denominator:
Weighted average common shares outstanding:
Basic100,855  100,640  
Dilutive effect of stock-based compensation216  432  
Diluted101,071  101,072  
Net income attributable to Sonoco per common share:
Basic$0.80  $0.73  
Diluted$0.80  $0.73  
Cash dividends$0.43  $0.41  

Potentially dilutive securities are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes the proceeds from the exercise of all dilutive stock appreciation rights (SARs) are used to repurchase the Company’s common stock. Certain SARs are not dilutive because either the exercise price is greater than the average market price of the stock during the reporting period or assumed repurchases from proceeds from the exercise of the SARs were antidilutive. These SARs may become dilutive in the future if the market price of the Company's common stock appreciates.
The average numbers of SARs that were not dilutive and, therefore, not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share during the three month periods ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019 were as follows:
Three Months Ended
March 29, 2020March 31, 2019
Anti-dilutive stock appreciation rights589  305  

No adjustments were made to "Net income attributable to Sonoco" in the computations of earnings per share.
Stock Repurchases
On February 10, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 5,000 shares of the Company's common stock. A total of 2,030 shares were purchased in 2016. No shares were repurchased under this authorization during 2017, 2018, 2019, or during the three months ended March 29, 2020. Accordingly, a total of 2,970 shares remain available for repurchase at March 29, 2020.
The Company frequently repurchases shares of its common stock to satisfy employee tax withholding obligations in association with certain share-based compensation awards. These repurchases, which are not part of a publicly announced plan or program, totaled 65 shares in the three months ended March 29, 2020 at a cost of $3,938, and 133 shares in the three months ended March 31, 2019 at a cost of $7,395.

Note 5: Restructuring and Asset Impairment
Due to its geographic footprint and the cost-competitive nature of its businesses, the Company is constantly seeking the most cost-effective means and structure to serve its customers and to respond to fundamental changes in its markets. As such, restructuring costs have been, and are expected to be, a recurring component of the Company's operating costs. The amount of these costs can vary significantly from quarter to quarter and from year to year depending upon the scope and location of the restructuring activities.
