Insights

Crown Holdings posts strong Q2 with 19% EPS growth, raises 2025 guidance amid operational improvements and beverage can strength.

Crown Holdings delivered impressive Q2 2025 results, with $3.15 billion in revenue (up 3.6% year-over-year) and adjusted EPS of $2.15 (up 19% from $1.81). The performance reflects Crown's operational excellence and strength in its core beverage packaging business.

The standout metric is segment income, which improved by $39 million or 9% to $476 million, primarily driven by the Americas Beverage, European Beverage, and North American Tinplate businesses. This improvement stems from favorable product mix and exceptional operational efficiencies across global operations.

Management's confidence is evident in their revised full-year guidance, raising adjusted EPS to $7.10-$7.50 (from previous guidance) and projecting adjusted free cash flow of approximately $900 million. This positions Crown to accelerate cash returns to shareholders while progressing toward their 2.5x leverage ratio target.

The beverage can segment continues to be Crown's growth engine, with Americas Beverage revenue up 6% to $1.41 billion and segment income jumping 10.3% to $268 million. European Beverage showed even stronger growth with segment income increasing 10.2% to $97 million. This performance reflects the ongoing consumer preference shift toward aluminum beverage packaging.

While Transit Packaging results remained firm despite a tepid industrial environment, the Asia Pacific segment showed some weakness with revenue declining 11.7% to $256 million and segment income down 9.1% to $50 million.

Crown's trailing twelve-month adjusted EBITDA is approaching $2.1 billion, an 11% increase from the prior period, highlighting the company's momentum. With disciplined capital spending of $450 million planned for 2025, Crown is balancing growth investments with shareholder returns.

The company did note potential risks from tariffs on consumers and industrial activity, which bears watching as geopolitical trade tensions evolve. However, the strong operational execution and financial performance demonstrate management's ability to navigate challenging macroeconomic conditions.

TAMPA, Fla., July 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Crown Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CCK) today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Highlights

Second Quarter

  • Diluted earnings per share of $1.56 versus $1.45 in 2024
  • Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 19% to $2.15 compared to $1.81 in 2024
  • Income from operations of $391 million versus $379 million in 2024
  • Segment income improved $39 million, or 9% to $476 million

2025 Outlook

  • Expect third quarter adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.95 to $2.05
  • Full year guidance range for adjusted diluted earnings per share of $7.10 to $7.50 with adjusted free cash flow of approximately $900 million
  • Reaffirming long-term net leverage ratio target of 2.5x

Commenting on the quarter, Timothy J. Donahue, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "During the second quarter, continued strong performance, led by Americas Beverage, European Beverage and the North American Tinplate businesses led to segment income growth of 9% over the prior year.  In addition to shipment growth in Europe and the Middle East, the improvement also reflects favorable product mix and exceptional operational performance throughout global operations.  Beverage can shipments in North America advanced 1% in line with expectations.  Transit Packaging results remained firm to the prior year, despite a continued tepid industrial production environment, the result of continuing cost reduction efforts.

"We remain excited about the Company's prospects in 2025 with trailing twelve-month adjusted EBITDA through June approaching $2.1 billion, an 11% increase from same prior period.  Reflecting on the Company's strong performance over the first six months, the Company has increased its full year 2025 expectations for adjusted earnings per share and adjusted free cash flow. The balance sheet is strong, and we are well on our way to achieving our long-term target leverage ratio of 2.5x of adjusted EBITDA.  As a result, the Company is well positioned to increase its return of cash to shareholders."

Net sales in the second quarter were $3,149 million compared to $3,040 million in the second quarter of 2024 reflecting increased shipments of both beverage and food cans in North America, as well as across European Beverage, the pass through of $120 million in higher material costs and favorable foreign currency translation of $23 million, partially offset by lower shipments in Asia Pacific and Transit Packaging.

Income from operations was $391 million in the second quarter compared to $379 million in the second quarter of 2024.  Segment income in the second quarter of 2025 was $476 million compared to $437 million in the prior year second quarter and includes continuing improvements to operational performance.

Net income attributable to Crown Holdings in the second quarter was $181 million compared to $174 million in the second quarter of 2024.  Reported diluted earnings per share were $1.56 in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $1.45 in 2024 and adjusted diluted earnings per share were $2.15 compared to $1.81 in 2024.

Six Month Results
Net sales for the first six months of 2025 were $6,036 million compared to $5,824 million in the first six months of 2024, reflecting the pass through of $214 million in higher material costs and higher shipments in Americas Beverage, European Beverage and North America food can, partially offset by lower shipments in Asia Pacific and Transit Packaging.

Income from operations was $756 million in the first half of 2025 compared to $624 million in the first half of 2024.  Segment income in the first half of 2025 was $874 million compared to $745 million in the prior year period and includes the benefits of improved manufacturing performance and savings from prior year restructuring actions in Asia Pacific.

Net income attributable to Crown Holdings in the first six months of 2025 was $374 million compared to $241 million in the first six months of 2024. Reported diluted earnings per share were $3.21 compared to $2.01 in 2024.  Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $3.81 compared to $2.83 in 2024.

Outlook
"In view of strong first half performance, the Company has increased its full year 2025 guidance range to $7.10 t$7.50 of adjusted diluted earnings per share while we continue to closely monitor the potential impacts of tariffs on consumers and industrial activity," commented Kevin C. Clothier, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.  The Company expects third quarter adjusted diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $1.95 to $2.05.

The Company expects to generate approximately $900 million in adjusted free cash flow in 2025 after capital spending of approximately $450 million with the adjusted effective tax rate expected to be approximately 25%.

Non-GAAP Measures
Segment income, adjusted free cash flow, net debt, adjusted net leverage ratio, adjusted net income, the adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted diluted earnings per share, net interest expense, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not defined terms under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP measures).  Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for income from operations, cash flow, leverage ratio, net income, effective tax rates, diluted earnings per share or interest expense and interest income prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to calculations of similarly titled measures by other companies.

The Company views segment income as the principal measure of the performance of its operations and adjusted free cash flow and adjusted net leverage ratio as the principal measures of its liquidity.  The Company considers all of these measures in the allocation of resources.  Adjusted free cash flow has certain limitations, however, including that it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since other non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt service requirements, are not deducted from the measure.  The amount of mandatory versus discretionary expenditures can vary significantly between periods.  The Company believes that adjusted free cash flow and adjusted net leverage ratio provide meaningful measures of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing the Company's ability to fund its activities, including the financing of acquisitions, debt repayments, share repurchases or dividends.  The Company believes that adjusted net income, segment income, the adjusted effective tax rate and adjusted diluted earnings per share are useful in evaluating the Company's operations as these measures are adjusted for items that affect comparability between periods.  Segment income, adjusted free cash flow, net debt, adjusted net leverage ratio, adjusted net income, the adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted diluted earnings per share, net interest expense, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are derived from the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations, Cash Flows and Consolidated Balance Sheets, as applicable, and reconciliations to segment income, adjusted free cash flow, net debt, adjusted net leverage ratio, adjusted net income, the adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA can be found within this release.  Reconciliations of estimated adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted free cash flow, the adjusted effective tax rates and adjusted net leverage ratio for the third quarter and full year of 2025 to estimated diluted earnings per share, operating cash flow, the effective tax rate and income from operations on a GAAP basis are not provided in this release due to the unavailability of estimates of the following, the timing and magnitude of which the Company is unable to reliably forecast without unreasonable efforts, which are excluded from estimated adjusted diluted earnings per share, the adjusted effective tax rates and adjusted net leverage ratio, and could have a significant impact on earnings per share, the effective tax rate and income from operations on a GAAP basis: gains or losses on the sale of businesses or other assets, restructuring and other costs, asset impairment charges, asbestos-related charges, losses from early extinguishment of debt, pension settlement and curtailment charges, the tax and noncontrolling interest impact of the items above, and the impact of tax law changes or other tax matters.

The impact of foreign currency translation represents the difference between actual current year U.S. dollar results and pro forma amounts assuming constant foreign currency exchange rates for translation in both periods.  In order to compute the difference, the Company compares actual U.S. dollar results to an amount calculated by dividing the current U.S. dollar results by current year average foreign exchange rates and then multiplying those amounts by the applicable prior year average foreign exchange rates.
