Operating results for the three months ended March 29, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1998. 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 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997. NOTE 2: DIVIDEND DECLARATIONS On February 4, 1998, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $.18 per share. This dividend was paid March 10, 1998 to shareholders of record as of February 20, 1998. On April 15, 1998, the Board of Directors declared a 10% stock dividend payable June 10, 1998, to all shareholders of record May 15, 1998. The Board also declared a regular quarterly dividend of $.18 per share payable June 10, 1998, to all shareholders of record May 15, 1998. This dividend will also be paid on those shares received through the stock dividend, representing a 10% cash dividend increase. NOTE 3: ACQUISITIONS/DISPOSITIONS During the first quarter of 1998, Sonoco completed two acquisitions in the Company's Industrial Packaging segment with an aggregate cost of $45.1 million in cash. In February, the Burk family of companies was acquired. Burk, consisting of three manufacturing facilities in Germany, produces injection and extruded plastic products. The Burk acquisition is expected to add approximately $19 million of sales annually and expands the Company's capability to provide customers with a wider assortment of injection and extruded plastic products. In March 1998, Sonoco completed the acquisition of the La Rochette group. This acquisition includes four converting operations and a paper mill in France with annual sales of approximately $50 million. The La Rochette acquisition improves the Company's competitive position in Europe through additional tube and core manufacturing capacity in France as well as additional paper mill support. At the beginning of the second quarter of 1998, the company completed the previously announced sale of the Consumer Packaging Segment's North American labels operations. The sale included seven facilities in the United States and one in Mexico. The sale of the company's interest in a joint venture in a label facility in Puerto Rico has not closed, but is expected to do so during the second quarter of 1998. The sale of these operations resulted in a one-time, after-tax charge of $174.5 million in the fourth quarter of 1997. Also completed at the beginning of the second quarter was the previously announced sale of the Industrial Packaging Segment's industrial containers operations. When fully completed, the industrial containers sale will result in a one-time, after-tax gain of approximately $55 million. 8 SONOCO PRODUCTS COMPANY NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued (unaudited) NOTE 3: ACQUISITIONS/DISPOSITIONS, CONTINUED The sale of the remaining portion of Sonoco's industrial containers business, intermediate bulk containers, consisting of one plant, has not closed but is expected to do so during the second quarter of 1998. The combined net sales of the North American labels and industrial containers operations in the first quarter were $87.2 million in both 1998 and 1997. Combined operating profits were $6.1 million and $1.5 million in 1998 and 1997, respectively. NOTE 4: COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". Accordingly, the shareholders' equity section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets has been modified to comply with the new requirements and the 1997 year-end data has been restated. The following table provides a reconciliation from net income available to common shareholders to comprehensive income:

10 SONOCO PRODUCTS COMPANY MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (UNAUDITED) Statements included in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations that are not historical in nature, are intended to be, and are hereby identified as "forward looking statements" for purposes of the safe harbor provided by section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company cautions readers that forward looking statements, including without limitation those relating to the Company's future business prospects, revenues, working capital, liquidity, capital needs, interest costs, and income, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward looking statements. FIRST QUARTER 1998 COMPARED WITH FIRST QUARTER 1997 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Consolidated net sales for the first quarter of 1998 were $673.3 million, compared with $687.6 million in the first quarter of 1997. Last year's first quarter included sales of approximately $21 million from both the company's former screen print operations, which were sold in late March 1997, and the fibre partitions business, which was combined with Rock Tenn Company's fibre partitions business in a joint venture near the end of the third quarter of 1997. Net income for the first quarter of 1998 was $46.5 million, a 12.7% increase over the $41.2 million in the same period of 1997. Sonoco reported record earnings of $.48 per diluted share for the first quarter of 1998, an 11.6% increase over the $.43 recorded in the first quarter of 1997. First quarter performance was in line with Management's expectations. The company's global tube, core, and cone operations and composite can business continued to lead the company's performance with volume gains over the first quarter of last year, while productivity gains in nearly all operations contributed to enhanced profitability for the quarter. INDUSTRIAL PACKAGING SEGMENT The industrial packaging segment for the first quarter of 1998 included tubes; cores, cones; roll wrap; molded plugs and related products and services; injection molded and extrusion molded plastics; paper manufacturing; recovered paper operations; corner posts; reels for wire and cable packaging; adhesives; converting machinery; forest products; and industrial containers. First quarter sales for the industrial packaging segment were $377.4 million, compared with $381.3 million in the first quarter of 1997. Sonoco's partitions business, which was included in the first quarter of 1997, was combined in a joint venture during the third quarter of 1997, affecting first quarter sales comparisons by approximately $11 million. Operating profits for this segment were $54.5 million, an 8.7% increase over the $50.2 million in the same period of 1997. 11 SONOCO PRODUCTS COMPANY MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (UNAUDITED), CONTINUED FIRST QUARTER 1998 COMPARED WITH FIRST QUARTER 1997, CONTINUED First quarter 1998 volume increased in the tube and core operations led by market share increases with customers in several industries, compared with a year ago. First quarter results also reflect improvement over the same quarter last year attributable to sales price increases implemented in September 1997, scrap reduction, and efficiency improvements. Sonoco's global capability continues to add value for customers in a variety of markets. The ability to not only provide the specific cores and tubes but to also supply a variety of ancillary products and services is helping Sonoco serve customers who are looking to consolidate their supplier bases. Volume in Sonoco's paper operations, which primarily supply Sonoco's converted products businesses, increased over the first quarter of last year. Recovered paper prices were higher in the first quarter of 1998 than in the same quarter last year; however, cylinderboard price increases implemented in the second half of 1997 kept ahead of the higher raw materials costs. Sonoco's molded and extruded plastics operations had strong volume in the textile and wire markets, but overall volume was down modestly because of declines in sales to the automotive and quick-service restaurant markets. As previously disclosed, the company's plastic and fibre drum operations were sold at the beginning of the second quarter. CONSUMER PACKAGING SEGMENT The consumer packaging segment in the first quarter of 1998 included composite cans; plastic and fibre cartridges; capseals; flexible packaging; high density film products; paperboard cartons; packaging services; coasters and glass covers; and pressure-sensitive labels and label application machinery. First quarter sales were $295.9 million, compared with $306.3 million in the same quarter of 1997. Last year's sales included approximately $10 million from the screen print operations, which were sold at the end of last year's first quarter. Operating profits in this segment increased 11.3% to $33.4 million, compared with $30.0 million for the first quarter of 1997. 12 SONOCO PRODUCTS COMPANY MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (UNAUDITED), CONTINUED FIRST QUARTER 1998 COMPARED WITH FIRST QUARTER 1997, CONTINUED The company's global composite can operations remain strong with volume increases in the snack food and adhesives and sealants markets. Productivity improvements, resulting from initiatives implemented in 1997, also contributed to this group's improved performance over the first quarter of 1997. Volume increased in Sonoco's high density film products operations led by increases in both the grocery and retail markets. Sales prices, however, declined from last year's first quarter. Volume increased in the company's flexible packaging operations in both the confectionery and liners markets. Productivity improvements from reduced scrap, improved run speeds, and faster changeovers also contributed to this group's improved performance over the first quarter of 1997. As previously disclosed, the sale of the North American labels operations was completed at the beginning of the second quarter. CORPORATE General corporate expenses have been allocated as operating costs to each of the segments. Interest expense was higher in the first quarter of 1998 compared with the same quarter in 1997 due to the higher average borrowings associated with the share repurchase program. Approximately three million shares have been repurchased through this program through the end of the first quarter of 1998. FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's financial position remained strong through the first quarter of 1998. The debt-to-capital percentage, after adjusting debt levels for excess cash related to the issuance of restricted purpose bonds, increased to 52.0% at March 29, 1998, from 46.1% at December 31, 1997. The increase is attributable primarily to the reduction in shareholder's equity resulting from the share repurchase program. Debt has also increased from year end primarily as a result of commercial paper borrowings to fund the share repurchase program. Total debt is expected to decrease in the second quarter as principal reductions are made with proceeds from the sales of the North American labels and industrial containers operations. Working capital increased $34.4 million to $473.3 million during the first quarter of 1998, driven by increases in receivables and inventories, both partially attributable to first quarter acquisitions. 13 SONOCO PRODUCTS COMPANY MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (UNAUDITED), CONTINUED FIRST QUARTER 1998 COMPARED WITH FIRST QUARTER 1997, CONTINUED FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES, CONTINUED The net proceeds from the sales of the North American labels and industrial containers operations, when fully completed, should be approximately $300 million. The proceeds will be used to fund the $150 million stock repurchase program which was implemented in January 1998. Through the end of the first quarter this program is approximately two-thirds complete with a total of 2,996,182 shares having been repurchased at an average price of $36.19 per share. The remainder of the proceeds from the sales will be used for debt reduction and other corporate purposes. At the beginning of the second quarter, the company commenced a fixed spread tender offer for any and all of its 9.20% Debentures due August 1, 2021. The purchase of the debentures, which ended on April 14, 1998, will result in an extraordinary charge against earnings in the second quarter of approximately $12 million after tax, reflecting the tender of $58.7 million principal amount of the $100 million issue. Net interest expense will be reduced by approximately $0.9 million annually. The Company expects internally generated cash flows along with borrowings available under its commercial paper and other existing credit facilities to be sufficient to meet operating and normal capital expenditure requirements. 14 SONOCO PRODUCTS COMPANY PART II.
