Insights

O-I Glass reports mixed Q1 results with net loss but reaffirms strong 2025 guidance; cost-saving program exceeding targets amid regional performance divide.

O-I Glass delivered a mixed financial performance in Q1 2025, reporting a net loss of $0.10 per share (down from $0.45 earnings in Q1 2024) primarily due to $80 million in restructuring charges related to their strategic "Fit to Win" initiative. Despite this, adjusted earnings of $0.40 per share exceeded management's internal plan though still below last year's $0.45.

The company's operational results show a tale of two regions: Americas segment operating profit surged 38% to $141 million while Europe declined 49% to $68 million, resulting in total segment operating profit of $209 million (down from $235 million). Volume growth of 4.4% across both regions demonstrates healthy demand, but Europe faced significant pricing pressures and temporary production curtailments to reduce inventory levels.

The "Fit to Win" initiative delivered $61 million in benefits during Q1, exceeding projections and showing solid progress toward their $250 million savings target for 2025 and $650 million by 2027. Management has reaffirmed its 2025 guidance of $1.20-$1.50 adjusted EPS (representing 50-85% growth from 2024) and $150-$200 million free cash flow (versus -$128 million in 2024).

While the current restructuring costs are creating short-term pain, they appear to be setting the foundation for improved future profitability. However, management did highlight potential risks from "elevated uncertainty across the value chain related to changing global trade policies" that could impact performance.

O-I Glass's operational transformation showing early results despite regional disparities; strategic production curtailments addressing inventory imbalances amid tariff uncertainties.

O-I Glass's operational transformation strategy is gaining momentum with their "Fit to Win" initiative delivering $61 million in benefits in Q1, significantly outpacing internal projections. This represents substantial early progress toward their ambitious targets of $250 million in savings for 2025 and $650 million cumulatively by 2027.

The 4.4% volume growth across both regions indicates healthy underlying demand, but manufacturing efficiency tells a different story between regions. While Americas thrived with stable pricing and favorable cost structure, Europe's operations faced significant headwinds from what appear to be tactical production decisions. The temporary production curtailments in Europe were implemented specifically to address inventory imbalances—a necessary operational adjustment that caused short-term inefficiencies but addresses a critical supply chain concern.

The $80 million in restructuring charges represents the necessary investment to streamline operations and enhance competitiveness. These one-time costs are funding operational improvements that are already yielding benefits, as evidenced by the strong cost savings in Q1.

A key operational concern highlighted by management is the potential disruption from "changing global trade policies." Tariff uncertainties could significantly impact production planning, supply chain efficiency, and regional manufacturing strategies. This external factor introduces complexity into their operational transformation that extends beyond their control.

The early results from "Fit to Win" suggest the operational roadmap is effective, though execution challenges remain, particularly in balancing European operations amid competitive pressures.

"O-I demonstrated strong performance in the first quarter of 2025, as our ‘Fit to Win’ strategy takes hold and we make significant progress towards becoming a more competitive and profitable company. While reported earnings were down from the prior year primarily due to restructuring actions, adjusted earnings surpassed our plan. Shipments increased across both the Americas and Europe and we achieved $61 million in Fit To Win benefits which exceeded our projections. This helped offset expected net price pressure and the impact of temporary production curtailments aimed at rebalancing inventory levels. Momentum is building, and we remain confident in achieving our savings targets of at least $250 million in 2025 and $650 million cumulatively by 2027," said Gordon Hardie, O-I Glass CEO.

“We are reaffirming our 2025 guidance and anticipate adjusted earnings will increase between 50 to 85 percent from 2024 levels. We have started the year strong, and we are successfully managing the elements within our control. This outlook may not fully reflect the potential impact of sustained elevated uncertainty across the value chain related to changing global trade policies.”

“Importantly, we remain focused on executing our long-term value creation roadmap. This will enhance our competitive position, enable profitable growth and create substantial shareholder value,” concluded Hardie.

Net sales in the first quarter of 2025 were in-line with prior year period at $1.6 billion as approximately 4.4 percent sales volume growth (in tons) was offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation and lower average selling prices. Year-to-date through April, shipments were up approximately 3 percent and reflected softer demand recently amid uncertainty of new tariff policies.

Earnings before income taxes was $18 million in the first quarter of 2025 which was down from $117 million in the prior year period primarily due to items not considered representative of ongoing operations, including $80 million of restructuring and asset impairment charges related to the Fit To Win initiative. Furthermore, earnings before income taxes also reflected lower segment operating profit which was partially offset by lower retained corporate and other costs.

Segment operating profit was $209 million in the first quarter compared to $235 million in the same period of 2024.

  • Americas: Segment operating profit in the Americas was $141 million compared to $102 million in the prior year period. Segment operating profit benefited from more than 4 percent sales volume growth (in tons) while net price was stable. Favorable operating costs reflected strong savings from the company’s Fit To Win program and benefited from a $7 million settlement of an insurance claim. Segment operating profit also included $2 million from unfavorable foreign currency translation.

  • Europe: Segment operating profit in Europe was $68 million compared to $133 million in the prior year period. Despite sales volume growth (in tons) of nearly 4 percent, segment operating profit declined due to lower net price given elevated competitive pressures, as well as higher operating costs mostly due to temporary production curtailments to reduce inventory levels which more than offset Fit To Win initiative benefits. Segment operating profit was impacted by $2 million from unfavorable foreign currency translation.

Retained corporate and other costs were $30 million, down from $40 million in the first quarter of 2024 due to lower corporate spending. Net interest expense totaled $81 million compared to $78 million in the prior year.

Net loss attributable to the company was $0.10 per share in the first quarter of 2025 compared to net earnings of $0.45 per share (diluted) in the prior year period.

Adjusted earnings were $0.40 per share (diluted) in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $0.45 earnings per share (diluted and no adjustments reported) in the prior year quarter.

2025 Outlook

 2025 Guidance (Unchanged)2024 Actual
Adjusted Earnings Per Share (EPS)$1.20 - $1.50$0.81
Free Cash Flow – Source / (Use) ($M)$150 - $200($128)

O-I is reaffirming its previously communicated 2025 guidance.

The company anticipates 2025 adjusted EPS will be in the range of $1.20 to $1.50 per share, representing a 50 to 85 percent increase from 2024 levels. Furthermore, the company expects free cash flow of between $150 and $200 million in 2025, a significant improvement from the $128 million use of cash in 2024.

Guidance primarily reflects the company’s current view on sales and production volume, mix and working capital trends; it may not fully reflect the potential impact of tariffs on U.S. imports or retaliatory tariffs on U.S. exports. O-I’s adjusted earnings outlook assumes foreign currency rates as of April 28, 2025, and a full-year adjusted effective tax rate of approximately 33 to 36 percent. The earnings and cash flow guidance ranges may not fully reflect uncertainty in macroeconomic conditions, currency rates, energy and raw materials costs, supply chain disruptions, labor challenges, and success in global profitability improvement initiatives, among other factors.

Conference Call Scheduled for April 30, 2025

O-I’s management team will conduct a conference call to discuss the company’s latest results on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. EDT A live webcast of the conference call, including presentation materials, will be available on the O-I website, www.o-i.com/investors, in the News and Events section.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, which are measures of its historical or future financial performance that are not calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, within the meaning of applicable SEC rules. Management believes that its presentation and use of certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per share, free cash flow, segment operating profit, segment operating profit margin and adjusted effective tax rate provide relevant and useful supplemental financial information that is widely used by analysts and investors, as well as by management in assessing both consolidated and business unit performance. These non-GAAP measures are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and should be considered supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or be construed as being more important than comparable GAAP measures.

Adjusted earnings relates to net earnings (loss) attributable to the company, exclusive of items management considers not representative of ongoing operations and other adjustments because such items are not reflective of the company’s principal business activity, which is glass container production. Adjusted earnings are divided by weighted average shares outstanding (diluted) to derive adjusted earnings per share. Segment operating profit relates to earnings before interest expense, net, and before income taxes and is also exclusive of items management considers not representative of ongoing operations as well as certain retained corporate costs and other adjustments. Segment operating profit margin is calculated as segment operating profit divided by segment net sales. Adjusted effective tax rate relates to provision for income taxes, exclusive of items management considers not representative of ongoing operations and other adjustments divided by earnings before income taxes, exclusive of items management considers not representative of ongoing operations and other adjustments. Management uses adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per share, segment operating profit, segment operating profit margin and adjusted effective tax rate to evaluate its period-over-period operating performance because it believes these provide useful supplemental measures of the results of operations of its principal business activity by excluding items that are not reflective of such operations.  The above non-GAAP financial measures may be useful to investors in evaluating the underlying operating performance of the company’s business as these measures eliminate items that are not reflective of its principal business activity.

Further, free cash flow relates to cash provided by operating activities less cash payments for property, plant, and equipment. Management has historically used free cash flow to evaluate its period-over-period cash generation performance because it believes these have provided useful supplemental measures related to its principal business activity. It should not be inferred that the entire free cash flow amount is available for discretionary expenditures, since the company has mandatory debt service requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted from these measures. Management uses non-GAAP information principally for internal reporting, forecasting, budgeting and calculating compensation payments.

The company routinely posts important information on its website – www.o-i.com/investors.
