Newell Brands Inc. is a global consumer products company with brands such as Rubbermaid, Sharpie, Graco, Coleman and Yankee Candle, selling in over 150 countries through major omni-channel retailers and e-commerce. It operates three segments: Home and Commercial Solutions, Learning and Development, and Outdoor and Recreation.
The company is executing a multi‑year turnaround focused on innovation, brand building, productivity and commercial execution, supported by a Realignment Plan and a new global Productivity Plan that will cut over 900 professional and clerical roles and close about 20 Yankee Candle stores. It is also consolidating technology and ERP systems, optimizing its footprint and reviewing non-core brands, which may lead to further restructuring charges.
Newell highlights heavy reliance on large customers: Amazon represented about 17% of 2025 net sales and Walmart about 13%. At December 31, 2025 it employed roughly 21,900 people worldwide and carried about $4.67 billion of debt, with recent downgrades leading to higher coupon costs and tighter covenants on new senior notes. The 10‑K details extensive risk factors, including retailer consolidation, tariffs imposed in 2025, inflation, supply chain dependence, cybersecurity and AI-related risks, foreign currency exposure, recurring non‑cash impairment charges and substantial environmental, tax and litigation exposures.
Newell Brands Inc. outlines its 2026 long-term and annual incentive programs for key employees, including named executive officers.

Newell Brands reported lower sales and a larger GAAP loss for 2025, but stronger underlying profitability in the latest quarter and issued a cautious 2026 outlook.
In fourth quarter 2025, net sales were $1.9 billion, down 2.7% year over year, with core sales down 4.1%. A $340 million non-cash tradename impairment drove an operating loss of $272 million and a net loss of $315 million, or $(0.75) per share, versus a $(0.13) loss a year earlier. On a normalized basis, operating margin improved to 8.7% from 7.1%, normalized net income rose to $75 million from $69 million, and normalized diluted EPS increased to $0.18 from $0.16. Normalized EBITDA grew 11.6% to $241 million.
For full year 2025, net sales declined 5.0% to $7.2 billion and core sales fell 4.6%. GAAP net loss widened to $285 million, or $(0.68) per share, from a $(0.52) loss, pressured by higher interest expense and large impairment charges. Normalized operating margin edged up to 8.4%, but normalized net income fell to $240 million from $286 million, and normalized EPS dipped to $0.57 from $0.68. Normalized EBITDA was essentially stable at $882 million versus $900 million. Operating cash flow was $264 million, down from $496 million, affected by $174 million of cash tariff costs and higher bonus payouts, while year-end debt stood at $4.7 billion against $203 million of cash.
The Home & Commercial Solutions segment saw 2025 net sales of $3.8 billion, down 7.3%, and a reported operating loss, though its normalized operating margin was 6.7%. Learning & Development revenue slipped 1.0% to $2.7 billion, with a strong 20.0% normalized operating margin, while Outdoor & Recreation sales fell 6.7% to $741 million, breaking even on a normalized operating income basis.
Looking to 2026, Newell expects a modest improvement in sales trends but continued macro and tariff headwinds. The company guides full-year net sales change to a range of (1%) to 1%, core sales change of (2%) to flat, normalized operating margin of 8.6% to 9.2%, and normalized EPS between $0.54 and $0.60. Management estimates tariffs enacted during 2025 will create about $0.07 of incremental normalized EPS headwind in 2026 before mitigation. Operating cash flow is projected between $350 million and $400 million, which at the midpoint would be more than 40% above 2025 levels.
