Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Feb 18 | Conference presentation | Neutral | +2.4% | Announcement of CFO presentation at BofA 2026 Global Agriculture and Materials Conference. |
| Feb 10 | Full-year earnings | Positive | -0.2% | Full-year 2025 results with higher segment profit, raised 2026 guidance, and strong Fit To Win benefits. |
| Jan 13 | Earnings call setup | Neutral | +1.3% | Scheduling of Q4 and full-year 2025 earnings release, conference call, and webcast details. |
| Nov 25 | Conference appearance | Neutral | +2.4% | Plan for CEO and CFO to present at Citi’s 2025 Basic Materials Conference with webcast access. |
| Nov 04 | Quarterly earnings | Positive | +0.3% | Q3 2025 results showing margin expansion, improved earnings, and higher full-year EPS guidance. |
Recent earnings reports with stronger fundamentals and guidance have generally seen modestly positive price reactions, with one instance of a slight divergence on full-year results.
Over the last few months, O-I Glass has combined conference visibility with improving fundamentals. Earnings updates on Nov 4, 2025 and Feb 10, 2026 highlighted stronger margins, higher segment operating profit, and raised guidance. Multiple conference appearances, including Citi’s 2025 event and prior BofA conference notices, were typically followed by small positive moves. Today’s update, which maintains 2026 guidance but flags added 1Q26 EPS pressure and European headwinds, fits into an execution story with near-term volatility.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock dropped -13.2% in the session following this news. A negative reaction despite maintained full-year 2026 guidance fits a backdrop where investors focused on the warning that 1Q26 adjusted EPS would fall below the earlier 12–16% contribution range. Historical earnings updates have usually drawn modestly positive moves, so a sharp decline would mark a deviation driven by concern over European demand, competition, and temporary supply-chain costs tied to capacity closures.

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, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, net debt, net debt leverage 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 (loss) 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. EBITDA refers to net earnings, excluding gains or losses from discontinued operations, interest expense, net, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization of intangibles. Adjusted EBITDA refers to EBITDA, exclusive of items management considers not representative of ongoing operations and other adjustments. Net debt leverage refers to total debt less cash divided by Adjusted EBITDA. 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 (loss) 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.
Net debt is defined as total debt less cash. Management uses net debt to analyze the liquidity of the company.
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.
