“O-I delivered strong results in 2025, demonstrating the effectiveness of our strategy,” said Gordon Hardie, CEO of O-I Glass. “Although reported results were lower due to planned restructuring actions, our adjusted earnings nearly doubled versus 2024 driven by disciplined execution of Fit to Win.”
“We are making very solid progress against our strategic objectives, and our 2025 financial performance was consistent with our recent guidance. Net sales were relatively stable despite softer market demand, as we successfully navigated challenging market conditions and remained focused on optimizing our customer and product mix. This approach resulted in a more premium and resilient business portfolio. Fit to Win continues to be a core value driver for our business and delivered $300 million in benefits in 2025, significantly exceeding our original goal and driving meaningful performance improvement.”
“Looking ahead, we anticipate continued progress in 2026, including another year of substantial Fit to Win benefits, despite ongoing market uncertainty and muted demand. We are also reaffirming our 2027 Investor Day financial targets and increasing our cumulative Fit to Win benefits to at least $750 million to further strengthen our competitiveness. As a result, we expect to drive higher earnings, enhance economic profit, strengthen free cash flow, and deliver sustainable, long-term value for shareholders,” concluded Hardie.
Net sales were $6.4 billion in 2025, compared to $6.5 billion in the prior year reflecting fairly stable average selling prices, while favorable foreign currency translation mostly offset modestly lower sales volume (in tons).
Loss before income taxes was $49 million in 2025, compared with earnings before income taxes of $38 million in the prior year with margins decreasing 140 basis points. Both years included items not representative of ongoing operations, primarily related to restructuring actions. Excluding these items, results reflected higher segment operating profit, lower corporate retained and other costs, and stable interest expense.
Segment operating profit was $846 million in 2025, up $98 million (or 13 percent) from $748 million in the previous year, and represented a 170 basis point improvement in segment margins.
- Americas: Segment operating profit was $549 million, up from $392 million in the prior year, representing a 40 percent improvement as margins expanded 420 basis points. Better results were driven by lower operating costs from significant savings delivered through O‑I’s Fit to Win initiatives as well as favorable net price and insurance settlements, despite modestly lower sales volumes.
- Europe: Segment operating profit was $297 million, down from $356 million in the prior year, representing a 17 percent decrease as margins contracted 160 basis points. Results reflected unfavorable net price, modestly lower sales volumes and idle capacity, partially offset by favorable operating costs and benefits from Fit to Win initiatives.
Retained corporate and other costs were $107 million in 2025, down from $134 million in the prior year, primarily due to Fit To Win benefits and a one-time benefit from the settlement of a previously reserved royalty receivable in the fourth quarter of 2025, partially offset by higher management incentive expense.
O-I reported a net loss attributable to the company of $0.84 per share in 2025, compared to a net loss of $0.69 per share in 2024.
Adjusted earnings was $1.60 per share (diluted) in 2025, consistent with O-I’s most recent guidance of $1.55 to $1.65 per share (diluted), compared to $0.81 per share (diluted) in 2024.
Cash provided by operating activities was $600 million in 2025, compared to $489 million in 2024.
Free cash flow was $168 million in 2025, consistent with management’s guidance range of $150 million to $200 million. This represented a nearly $300 million improvement compared to a $128 million use of cash in the prior year, despite approximately $90 million of incremental restructuring spending in 2025.
Total debt was $5 billion as of December 31, 2025, flat with 2024. Net debt was $4.2 billion, stable versus the prior year, and net debt leverage ended 2025 at 3.5x, down from 3.9x in 2024.

Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $1.5 billion, stable with the prior year period reflecting flat average selling prices, while favorable foreign currency translation offset a moderate decline in sales volumes (in tons).
The company reported a loss before income taxes of $133 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $125 million in the prior year quarter with margins decreasing 70 basis points. Both periods included items not representative of ongoing operations primarily related to restructuring actions. Fourth quarter of 2025 earnings benefited from improved segment operating profit.
Segment operating profit was $177 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, up $41 million (or 30 percent) from $136 million in the prior year period, and represented a 280 basis point improvement in segment margins.
- Americas: Segment operating profit was $134 million, up from $96 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, representing a 40 percent improvement as margins expanded 430 basis points. Performance improvement was driven by lower operating costs from significant savings delivered through O‑I’s Fit to Win initiatives, as well as favorable net price, despite lower sales volumes.
- Europe: Segment operating profit was $43 million, up from $40 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, representing an 8 percent increase as margins improved 60 basis points. Higher results reflected favorable operating costs due to higher production levels and benefits from Fit to Win initiatives which more than offset unfavorable net price and modestly lower sales volumes.
Retained corporate and other costs were $28 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $30 million in the prior year as the benefit from Fit to Win and the settlement of a previously reserved royalty receivable more than offset higher management incentives.
O-I reported a net loss attributable to the company of $0.90 per share in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to a net loss of $1.00 per share in the same period of 2024.
Adjusted earnings was $0.20 per share (diluted) in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to an adjusted net loss of $0.05 per share in the prior year quarter.
2026 Outlook
| 2026 Guidance | 2025 Actual | ||
| Adjusted EBITDA ($M) | $1,250 - $1,300 | $1,218 | |
| Adjusted Earnings Per Share | $1.65 - $1.90 | $1.60 | |
| Free Cash Flow ($M) | ~ $200 | $168 | |
O‑I anticipates 2026 adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $1.25 billion to $1.30 billion, representing up to an 7 percent increase over 2025 levels. This growth is expected despite an estimated $150 million step-up in energy costs following the expiration of favorable European energy contracts at the end of 2025. Excluding this step-up, adjusted EBITDA would have been expected to increase by up to 22 percent.
Operationally, O‑I expects to benefit from at least $275 million of incremental Fit To Win initiatives, which are projected to drive improved performance despite lower net price trends and flat to slightly declining sales volumes. As consumption stabilizes or recovers over time, we believe O‑I’s optimized portfolio will be well positioned to deliver on generating growth and higher economic profit.
Management forecasts adjusted earnings per share in the range of $1.65 to $1.90, representing up to a 19 percent improvement over 2025. This outlook is supported by higher anticipated EBITDA, stable interest expense, and a full-year adjusted effective tax rate of approximately 30 to 33 percent. Assumptions for foreign currency rates are based on levels as of January 31, 2025.
O‑I expects free cash flow to approximate $200 million in 2026, an increase of nearly 20 percent compared to 2025. This improvement is driven by stronger earnings, partially offset by modestly higher capital expenditures which should approximate $450 million compared to $432 million in 2025. Cash restructuring spending is expected to approximate $150 million in 2026 and taper thereafter.
O-I’s outlook for 2026 reflects our confidence in the company’s operational resilience, strategic focus, and commitment to delivering sustainable value for shareholders.
Guidance primarily reflects the company’s current view of sales and production volume, mix, and working‑capital trends and does not reflect the potential impact of tariffs on U.S. imports or retaliatory tariffs on U.S. exports. The earnings and cash flow guidance ranges may not fully reflect uncertainty in macroeconomic conditions, currency rates, energy and raw material costs, supply‑chain disruptions, labor challenges, changes in immigration policy, or success in global profitability improvement initiatives, among other factors.

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.
