NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Tabular data dollars in millions, except per share amounts
1. Segment Information
The Company has
The Company’s measure of profit for its reportable segments is segment operating profit, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that consists of consolidated earnings before interest income, interest expense, and provision for income taxes and excludes amounts related to certain items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations and other adjustments, as well as certain retained corporate costs. The Company’s management, including the chief operating decision maker (defined as the Chief Executive Officer), uses segment operating profit, supplemented by net sales and selected cash flow information, to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. Segment operating profit for reportable segments includes an allocation of some corporate expenses based on both a percentage of sales and direct billings based on the costs of specific services provided. Segment operating profit is not a recognized term under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and, therefore, does not purport to be an alternative to earnings (loss) before income taxes. Further, the Company’s measure of segment operating profit may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 regarding the Company’s reportable segments is as follows, as well as a reconciliation of segment operating profit to earnings before income taxes:

2. Revenue
Revenue is recognized at a point in time when obligations under the terms of the Company’s contracts and related purchase orders with its customers are satisfied. This occurs with the transfer of control of glass containers, which primarily takes place when products are shipped from the Company’s manufacturing or warehousing facilities to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods, which includes estimated provisions for rebates, discounts, returns and allowances. Amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling or other pass-through items are included in net sales in the Condensed

Consolidated Results of Operations. Sales, value-added, and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. The Company’s payment terms are based on customary business practices and can vary by customer type. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. Also, the Company elected to account for shipping and handling costs as a fulfillment cost at the time of shipment.
For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had no material bad debt expense, and there were no material contract assets, contract liabilities or deferred contract costs recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, revenue recognized from prior periods was not material.
The following tables for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 disaggregate the Company’s revenue by customer end use:

3. Credit Losses
The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through its sales of glass containers to customers. The Company’s trade receivables from customers are due within one year or less. The Company assesses each customer’s ability to pay for the glass containers it sells to them by conducting a credit review. The credit review considers the expected billing exposure and timing for payment and the customer’s established credit rating or the Company’s assessment of the customer’s creditworthiness, based on an analysis of their financial statements when a credit rating is not available. The Company also considers contract terms and conditions, country and political risk, and business strategy in its evaluation. A credit limit is established for each customer based on the outcome of this review. The Company may require collateralized asset support or a prepayment to mitigate credit risk. The Company monitors its ongoing credit exposure through the active review of customer balances against contract terms and due dates, including timely account reconciliation, dispute resolution and payment confirmation. The Company may employ collection agencies and legal counsel to pursue the recovery of defaulted receivables.

5. Derivative Instruments
The Company has certain derivative assets and liabilities, which consist of natural gas forwards and collars, foreign exchange option and forward contracts, interest rate swaps and cross-currency swaps. The valuation of these instruments is determined primarily using the income approach, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. Natural gas prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rates are the significant inputs into the valuation models. The Company also evaluates counterparty risk in determining fair values. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. Estimates of the fair value of foreign currency and commodity derivative instruments are determined using exchange traded prices and rates. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. These inputs are observable in active markets over the terms of the instruments the Company holds, and, accordingly, the Company classifies its derivative assets and liabilities as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Commodity Forward Contracts and Collars Designated as Cash Flow Hedges
The Company has entered into commodity forward contracts and collars related to forecasted natural gas requirements, the objective of which are to limit the effects of fluctuations in future market prices of natural gas and the related volatility in cash flows.

Cash Flow Hedges of Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company has variable-interest rate borrowings denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the borrowing subsidiaries. As a result, the Company is exposed to fluctuations in the currency of the borrowing against the subsidiaries’ functional currency. The Company uses derivatives to manage these exposures and designates these derivatives as cash flow hedges of foreign currency exchange risk.

Fair Value Hedges of Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company has fixed and variable interest rate borrowings denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the borrowing subsidiaries. As a result, the Company is exposed to fluctuations in the currency of the borrowing against the subsidiaries’ functional currency. The Company uses derivatives to manage these exposures and designates these derivatives as fair value hedges of foreign currency exchange risk. Approximately $
Net Investment Hedges
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments it holds in non-U.S. subsidiaries and uses cross-currency swaps to partially hedge this exposure.
Foreign Exchange Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
The Company uses short-term forward exchange or option agreements to purchase foreign currencies at set rates in the future. These agreements are used to limit exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates for significant planned purchases of fixed assets or commodities that are denominated in currencies other than the subsidiaries’ functional currency. The Company also uses foreign exchange agreements to offset the foreign currency exchange rate risk for receivables and payables, including intercompany receivables, payables, and loans, not denominated in, or indexed to, their functional currencies.

When a decision is made to take restructuring actions, the Company manages and accounts for them programmatically apart from the ongoing operations of the business. Information related to major programs is presented separately, while minor initiatives are presented on a combined basis.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s only major restructuring program was the Fit to Win initiative, which is expected to reduce redundant production capacity and begin to optimize the network, as well as streamline other cost areas, such as selling, general and administrative expenses. The Fit to Win initiative began in the second half of 2024 and is expected to last at least through 2025. Details regarding charges, payments and other changes to the Fit to Win restructuring accruals are presented in the table above. Management does not yet have an estimate for the total restructuring charges to be incurred with this program, however, the total charges are expected to be material. As of March 31, 2024, no major restructuring programs were in effect.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded restructuring, asset impairment and other charges of approximately $
The Company’s decisions to curtail selected production capacity have resulted in write-downs of certain long-lived assets to the extent their carrying value exceeded fair value or fair value less cost to sell. The Company classified the assumptions used to determine the fair value of the impaired assets in the period that the measurement was taken as Level 3 (third-party appraisals, where applicable) in the fair value hierarchy as set forth in the general accounting

principles for fair value measurements. For the asset impairments recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2025, the remaining carrying value of the impaired assets was approximately $

8. Income Taxes
The Company calculates its interim tax provision using the estimated annual effective tax rate (“EAETR”) methodology in accordance with ASC 740-270. The EAETR is applied to the year-to-date ordinary income, exclusive of discrete items. The tax effects of discrete items are then included to arrive at the total reported interim tax provision. The determination of the EAETR is based upon a number of estimates, including the estimated annual pretax ordinary income or loss in each tax jurisdiction in which the Company operates. The tax effects of discrete items are recognized in the tax provision in the quarter they occur, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Depending on various factors, such as the item’s significance in relation to total income and the rate of tax applicable in the jurisdiction to which it relates, discrete items in any quarter can materially impact the reported effective tax rate. The Company’s annual effective tax rate may be affected by the mix of earnings in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, and factors such as changes in tax laws, tax rates or regulations, changes in business, changing interpretation of existing tax laws or regulations and the finalization of tax audits and reviews, as well as other factors. As such, there can be significant volatility in interim tax provisions. The annual effective tax rate differs from the statutory U.S. Federal tax rate of
The Company is currently under income tax examination in various tax jurisdictions in which it operates, including Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Germany, Hungary, Indonesia, Italy, Peru, and the U.S. The years under examination range from 2004 through 2023. The Company has received tax assessments in excess of established reserves. The Company is contesting these tax assessments, and will continue to do so, including pursuing all available remedies, such as appeals and litigation, if necessary. The Company believes that adequate provisions for all income tax uncertainties have been made. However, if tax assessments are settled against the Company at amounts in excess of established reserves, it could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Due to uncertainties regarding the ultimate resolution of income tax examinations, the Company is not able to reasonably estimate any tax assessments that may be settled at amounts in excess of established reserves in future periods, or the future periods in which any income tax payments to settle these provisions for income tax uncertainties.

Failure to comply with these covenants and restrictions could result in an event of default under the Credit Agreement. In such an event, the Company could not request additional borrowings under the revolving facilities, and all amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement, together with accrued interest, could then be declared immediately due and payable. Upon the occurrence and for the duration of a payment event of default, an additional default interest rate equal to
The Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) determines pricing under the Credit Agreement. The interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Agreement is, at the Company’s option, the Base Rate, Term SOFR or, for non-U.S. dollar borrowings only, the Eurocurrency Rate (each as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is linked to the Total Leverage Ratio. The margins range from

10. Contingencies
The Company has been identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or a comparable state or federal agency as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) at a number of sites in the U.S., including certain Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”) (Superfund) sites, as well as sites previously owned or operated by the Company. As an identified PRP, the Company may have liability for investigation, remediation and monitoring of contamination, as well as associated penalties and natural resource damages, if any. The Company has not had monetary sanctions imposed nor has the Company been notified of any potential monetary sanctions at any of the sites.
The Company has recorded aggregate accruals of approximately $
As part of the above, from December 31, 1956 through June 1967, the Company, via a wholly-owned subsidiary, owned and operated a paper mill located on the shore of the Cuyahoga River in Ohio, which is now part of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park that is managed by the National Park Service (“NPS”). The Company and the United States have been engaged in litigation regarding the site in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio (Akron), with the United States claiming that the Company should pay $

Company recorded a charge of approximately $
In November 2023, the Autorita Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato (the “Italian Competition Authority”) commenced an investigation into alleged anti-competitive conduct by
Similar to the Italian anti-competitive investigation discussed above, the Company is also being investigated by authorities in France and Ecuador for similar conduct in those countries. To date, neither the French nor Ecuadorian authorities have officially charged O-I’s businesses in those respective countries with any violations of competition law. With regard to the above, the Company is committed to compliance with laws in the jurisdictions it operates and maintains policies and procedures regarding competition law. If the authorities in these countries find that the Company or any of its subsidiaries or joint ventures violated competition law, they could levy fines, which could be material. At this stage, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the investigation, and any potential loss cannot be estimated.
Other litigation is pending against the Company, in some cases involving ordinary and routine claims incidental to the business of the Company and in others presenting allegations that are non-routine and involve compensatory, punitive or treble damage claims as well as other types of relief. The Company records a liability for such matters when it is both probable that the liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Recorded amounts are reviewed and adjusted to reflect changes in the factors upon which the estimates are based, including additional information, negotiations, settlements and other events.

In accordance with ASU 2022-04, “Liabilities-Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations,” the Company has agreements with third-party administrators that allow participating vendors to track the Company’s payments and, if voluntarily elected by the vendor, to sell payment obligations from the Company to financial institutions as part of a Supply Chain Financing (“SCF”) Program. The Company's payment terms to the financial institutions, including the timing and amount of payments, are based on the original supplier invoices. When participating vendors elect to sell one or more of the Company’s payment obligations, the Company’s rights and obligations to settle the payables on their contractual due date are not impacted. The Company has no economic or commercial interest in a vendor’s decision to enter into these agreements, and the financial institutions do not provide the Company with incentives, such as rebates or profit sharing under the SCF Program. The Company agrees on commercial terms with vendors for the goods and services procured, which are consistent with payment terms observed at other peer companies in the industry, and the terms are not impacted by the SCF Program. Such obligations are classified as accounts payable in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company does not provide asset pledges, or other forms of guarantees, as security for the committed payment to the financial institutions. As of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The Company’s measure of profit for its reportable segments is segment operating profit, which consists of consolidated earnings before interest expense, net and provision for income taxes and excludes amounts related to certain items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations and other adjustments, as well as certain retained corporate costs. The segment data presented below is prepared in accordance with general accounting principles for segment reporting. The lines titled “reportable segment totals” in both net sales and segment operating profit, however, are non-GAAP measures when presented outside of the financial statement footnotes. Management has included reportable segment totals below to facilitate the discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations and believes this information allows the Board of Directors, management, investors and analysts to better understand the Company’s financial performance. The Company’s management, including the chief operating decision maker (defined as the Chief Executive Officer), uses segment operating profit, supplemented by net sales and selected cash flow information, to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. Segment operating profit is not, however, intended as an alternative measure of operating results as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Executive Overview — Quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
Net sales in the first quarter of 2025 decreased $26 million, or 2%, compared to the prior year, primarily due to the impact from unfavorable foreign currency translation and lower average selling prices, partially offset by higher sales volumes.
Earnings before income taxes were $99 million lower in the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024. This decrease was primarily due to higher restructuring, asset impairment and other charges, higher legacy environmental charges, lower segment operating profit and slightly higher interest expense, partially offset by lower retained corporate and other costs.
Segment operating profit for reportable segments in the first quarter of 2025 was $26 million lower compared to the prior year period, primarily due to lower net prices (net of cost inflation) and unfavorable currency translation, partially offset by higher sales volumes. Operating costs were unfavorably impacted by temporary curtailments of production volumes, primarily in Europe, to reduce inventory levels, partially offset by benefits from the Company’s Fit to Win initiative.
Net interest expense for the first quarter of 2025 increased $3 million compared to 2024, primarily due to higher debt levels and interest rates.
For the first quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a net loss attributable to the Company of $16 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to net earnings attributable to the Company of $72 million, or $0.45 per share (diluted), in the first quarter of 2024. As discussed below, net loss attributable to the Company in the first quarter of 2025 included items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations and other adjustments. These items increased net loss attributable to the Company by $79 million, or $0.50 per share.
Results of Operations — First Quarter of 2025 Compared with First Quarter of 2024
Net Sales
The Company’s net sales in the first quarter of 2025 were $1,567 million compared with $1,593 million in the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of $26 million, or 2%. Average selling prices declined, which decreased net sales by $16 million in the first quarter of 2025. Glass container shipments, in tons, increased approximately 4.4% in the first quarter of 2025, which increased net sales by approximately $66 million compared to the same period in prior year. This increase resulted from higher shipments in most markets, reflecting some rebuilding of packaging inventories across the value chain, the Company benefiting from recent contract negotiations, and there was likely some advanced purchases by customers ahead of new tariff policies. Unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates decreased net sales by $73 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year. Other sales were approximately $3 million lower in the first three months of 2025 than in the same period in the prior year, driven by lower machine part sales.
The change in net sales of reportable segments can be summarized as follows (dollars in millions):

Americas: Net sales in the Americas in the first quarter of 2025 were $873 million compared to $854 million in the first quarter of 2024, an increase of $19 million, or 2%. Higher selling prices in the region increased net sales by $30 million in the first quarter of 2025, driven by the pass through of higher cost inflation. Glass container shipments in the region were up more than 4% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year, which increased net sales by approximately $48 million. The segment experienced higher shipments in nearly all its markets, especially
23
to beer, food and spirits customers. The unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes decreased net sales by $59 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year, as the Brazilian Real and Mexican Peso weakened compared to the U.S. dollar.
Europe: Net sales in Europe in the first quarter of 2025 were $667 million compared to $709 million in the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of $42 million, or 6%. Lower average selling prices in Europe decreased net sales by $46 million in the first quarter of 2025. Glass container shipments increased by nearly 4% in the first quarter of 2025 with higher shipments in most markets in the segment as customers rebuilt their inventories ahead of higher tariffs. Shipments were higher to beer, wine and food customers in the first quarter of 2025, and this increased net sales by approximately $18 million compared to the same period in the prior year. Unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes decreased net sales by $14 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year, as the Euro weakened compared to the U.S. dollar.
Earnings before Income Taxes and Segment Operating Profit
Earnings before income taxes were $18 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $117 million in the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of $99 million. This decrease was due to higher restructuring, asset impairment and other charges, higher legacy environmental charges, lower segment operating profit and slightly higher interest expense, partially offset by lower retained corporate and other costs.
Segment operating profit of the reportable segments includes an allocation of some corporate expenses based on a percentage of sales and direct billings based on the costs of specific services provided. Unallocated corporate expenses and certain other expenses not directly related to the reportable segments’ operations are included in Retained corporate costs and other. For further information, see Segment Information included in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Segment operating profit of reportable segments in the first quarter of 2025 was $209 million, compared to $235 million in the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of $26 million, or 11%. This decrease was primarily due to lower net prices (net of cost inflation) and unfavorable currency translation, partially offset by higher sales volumes. Operating costs were impacted by approximately $58 million related to temporary curtailments of production volumes, primarily in Europe, to reduce inventory levels, offset by approximately $47 million of benefits from the Company’s Fit to Win initiative, $7 million from the settlement of an insurance claim in the Americas and approximately $4 million of other cost improvements.

Americas: Segment operating profit in the Americas in the first quarter of 2025 was $141 million, compared to $102 million in the first quarter of 2024, an increase of $39 million, or 38%. Higher cost inflation exceeded higher selling prices and resulted in a $1 million decrease to segment operating profit in the first quarter of 2025. The impact of higher shipments discussed above resulted in a $11 million increase to segment operating profit in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. The effects of foreign currency exchange rates decreased segment operating profit by $2 million in the first quarter of 2025.
In addition, operating costs in the first quarter of 2025 were $31 million lower than in the same period in the prior year, primarily due to approximately $27 million in savings from the Company’s Fit To Win initiative (exceeding management’s expectations). Operating costs were also favorably impacted by approximately $7 million from the
24
settlement of an insurance claim. The Company will continue to monitor business trends and consider whether any additional temporary downtime or permanent capacity closures in the Americas will be necessary in the future to align its business with demand trends. Any permanent capacity closures could result in material restructuring and impairment charges, as well as cash expenditures, in future periods.
Europe: Segment operating profit in Europe in the first quarter of 2025 was $68 million compared to $133 million in the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of $65 million, or 49%. Lower net selling prices (net of cost inflation) decreased segment operating profit by $38 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year due to elevated competitive pressures. Operating costs in the first quarter of 2025 were $31 million higher than in the same period in the prior year, driven by approximately $58 million from the impact of temporary production curtailments to reduce inventory levels. Partially offsetting these higher costs in the first quarter of 2025 were approximately $20 million of benefits from the Fit to Win initiative (exceeding management’s expectations). The impact of higher shipments discussed above increased segment operating profit by approximately $6 million. The effects of foreign currency exchange rates decreased segment operating profit by $2 million in the first quarter of 2025.
In the first quarter of 2025, the Company also announced the permanent closure of a plant and a number of selling, general and administrative positions in Europe in connection with its Fit to Win initiative. Additional indefinite or permanent capacity closures in Europe may be necessary in 2025 to align its business with demand trends. Any indefinite or permanent capacity closures could result in material restructuring and impairment charges, as well as cash expenditures, in future periods.
In addition, the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has caused a significant change in the global gas market, resulting in a shift toward liquified natural gas. This transition has increased volatility in the market, as countries have diversified their energy sources and reduced dependance on Russian natural gas supplies. The Company’s European operations typically purchase natural gas under mid- to long-term supply arrangements with terms that range from one to three years and, through these agreements, typically agree on a portion of the price with the relevant supplier in advance of the period in which the natural gas will be delivered, which shields the Company from the full impact of increased natural gas prices, while such agreements remain in effect. The Company’s energy risk management approach is to have coverage of at least 40% of its expected total energy use for the year ahead, where possible. However, the Company’s coverage for its expected European natural gas requirements in 2026 is currently below this level as of March 31, 2025. The Company intends to reach this level by the end of 2025. The current conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the resulting sanctions, potential sanctions, government mandated curtailments or government imposed allocations, tariffs or other adverse repercussions on energy supplies could cause the Company’s energy suppliers to be unable or unwilling to deliver natural gas at agreed prices and quantities. If this occurs, it may be necessary for the Company to procure natural gas at then-current market prices and subject to market availability and could cause the Company to experience a significant increase in operating costs or result in the temporary or permanent cessation of delivery of natural gas to several of the Company’s manufacturing plants in Europe. Depending on the duration and ultimate outcome of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, future long-term supply arrangements for natural gas may not be available at reasonable prices or at all.
Interest Expense, Net
Net interest expense in the first quarter of 2025 was $81 million compared to $78 million in the first quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher debt levels and interest rates.
Provision for Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate from operations for the first quarter of 2025 was 167% compared to 35% for the first quarter of 2024. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2025 differed from the first quarter of 2024 due to a net unfavorable tax rate on restructuring charges and a change in the mix of geographic earnings.
Net Earnings (Loss) Attributable to the Company
For the first quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a net loss attributable to the Company of $16 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to net earnings attributable to the Company of $72 million, or $0.45 per share (diluted), in the first
25
quarter of 2024. Net loss attributable to the Company in the first quarter of 2025 included items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations and other adjustments as set forth in the following table (dollars in millions).

Forward-Looking Operational and Financial Information
● | The Company is maintaining its cautious commercial outlook and guidance for stable sales volumes in 2025 compared to 2024 levels given uncertainty around tariffs which could affect future demand. Year-to-date through April 2025, shipments were up approximately 3% compared to the same period in the prior year and reflected softer demand recently amid uncertainty of new tariff policies. |
● | Net price (net of cost inflation) is expected to be a headwind again in 2025 due to competitive pressures in Europe. |
● | Management anticipates generating at least $250 million of Fit To Win benefits in 2025. On a cumulative basis, the Company expects approximately $650 million of Fit To Win benefits through 2027 (with 2024 as a baseline). |
● | Cash provided by operating activities is expected to approximate $600 million for 2025. Capital expenditures in 2025 are expected to range between approximately $400 million and $450 million. |
● | Changes in global trade policies will likely be disruptive in the short term and may create both new challenges and opportunities for the Company, which cannot be fully determined at this stage. The Company estimates that approximately 4.5% of its global sales volumes are currently exposed to new tariffs (includes empty and filled bottles). This primarily relates to imports from Europe, while most cross border sales between the U.S., Mexico and Canada are exempt under the USMCA treaty. As such, the Company believes it faces a limited direct tariff exposure, so far. The bigger unknown is how elevated market uncertainty may impact the consumer and demand elasticity which could have a larger effect than the Company’s direct tariff exposure. |
● | The Company also sees potential opportunities as a result of changes in global trade policies. For example, glass is a local business and around 85% of the value chain is within 300 miles of the Company’s plants, so the Company does not rely on a global supply chain which is more exposed to tariffs. Also, favorable substrate dynamics may emerge as there are currently sector specific tariffs on aluminum. Likewise, domestic glass production is now significantly more competitive compared to imports from China given new tariffs. Next, the Company has the largest glass network in the U.S., so it is well positioned to take advantage of opportunities that emerge, especially if consumption shifts to more domestic products over time. Finally, policy changes have already led to sizable shifts in currency exchange rates that are helping improve earnings translation. |

Items Excluded from Reportable Segment Totals
Retained Corporate Costs and Other
Retained corporate costs and other for the first quarter of 2025 were $30 million compared to $40 million in the first quarter of 2024. These costs decreased in the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to lower spending driven by approximately $14 million of benefits from the Company’s Fit To Win initiative (exceeding management’s expectations).
The Company has initiated a strategic review of the remaining businesses in the former Asia Pacific region. This review is aimed at exploring options to maximize share owner value, focused on aligning the Company’s business with demand trends and improving the Company’s operating efficiency, cost structure and working capital management. The review is ongoing and may result in divestitures, corporate transactions or similar actions, and could cause the Company to incur restructuring, impairment, disposal or other related charges in future periods.
Restructuring, Asset Impairment and Other Charges
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded restructuring, asset impairment and other charges of approximately $82 million to Other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations, all of which related to the Fit to Win program. These charges consisted of employee costs, such as severance and benefit-related costs, write-down of assets and other exit costs in the Americas segment ($6 million), Europe segment ($52 million) and Retained corporate costs and other ($24 million). As of March 31, 2025, the Company has incurred cumulative charges of approximately $283 million related to the Fit to Win program. Additional restructuring charges are expected in future quarters when management completes their assessment to reduce redundant production capacity and streamline costs.
The Company expects that the majority of the remaining cash expenditures related to the accrued employee and other exit costs will be paid out over the next several years.
Legacy Environmental Charge
From December 31, 1956 through June 1967, the Company, via a wholly-owned subsidiary, owned and operated a paper mill located on the shore of the Cuyahoga River in Ohio, which is now part of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park that is managed by the National Park Service (“NPS”). The Company and the United States have been engaged in litigation regarding the site in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio (Akron), with the United States claiming that the Company should pay $50 million as a remedy for certain soils at the site as well as its past and anticipated future costs. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company and the NPS reached a tentative settlement, and the Company expects to pay $16.5 million in the second quarter of 2025 to resolve this matter. As a result, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $4 million in the first quarter of 2025 to Other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations to augment its previous approximate $12.5 million accrual balance related to this matter.
Gain on Sale of Miscellaneous Assets
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain of approximately $6 million on the sale of land and buildings of a previously closed plant in the Americas.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
On March 25, 2022, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries entered into a Credit Agreement and Syndicated Facility Agreement (the “Original Agreement”), which refinanced in full the previous credit agreement. The Original Agreement provided for up to $2.8 billion of borrowings pursuant to term loans, revolving credit facilities and a delayed draw term loan facility. The delayed draw term loan facility allowed for a one-time borrowing of up to $600 million, the proceeds of which were used, in addition to other consideration paid by the Company and/or its subsidiaries, to fund an asbestos settlement trust (the “Paddock Trust”) established in connection with the confirmed plan of reorganization of Paddock Enterprises, LLC (“Paddock”) proposed by Paddock, O-I Glass and certain other parties in Paddock’s Chapter 11 case. On July 18, 2022, the Company drew down the $600 million delayed draw term loan to fund, together with other consideration, the Paddock Trust.
On August 30, 2022, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries entered into an Amendment No. 1 to its Credit Agreement and Syndicated Facility Agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”), which amends the Original Agreement (as amended by the Credit Agreement Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement Amendment provides for up to $500 million of additional borrowings in the form of term loans. The proceeds of such term loans were used, together with cash, to retire the $600 million delayed draw term loan. The term loans mature, and the revolving credit facilities terminate, in March 2027. The term loans borrowed under the Credit Agreement Amendment are secured by certain collateral of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. In addition, the Credit Agreement Amendment makes modifications to certain loan documents, in order to give the Company increased flexibility to incur secured debt in the future.
At March 31, 2025, the Credit Agreement includes a $300 million revolving credit facility, a $950 million multicurrency revolving credit facility and $1.45 billion in term loan A facilities ($1.34 billion outstanding balance at March 31, 2025, net of debt issuance costs). At March 31, 2025, the Company had unused credit of $1.06 billion available under the revolving credit facilities as part of the Credit Agreement. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement at March 31, 2025 was 6.08%.
The Credit Agreement contains various covenants that restrict, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, the ability of the Company to incur certain indebtedness and liens, make certain investments, become liable under contingent obligations in certain defined instances only, make restricted payments, make certain asset sales within guidelines and limits, engage in certain affiliate transactions, participate in sale and leaseback financing arrangements, alter its fundamental business, and amend certain subordinated debt obligations.
The Credit Agreement also contains one financial maintenance covenant, a Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), that requires the Company not to exceed a ratio of 2.50x calculated by dividing consolidated Net Indebtedness that is then secured by Liens on property or assets of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries by Consolidated EBITDA, as each term is defined and as described in the Credit Agreement. The Secured Leverage Ratio could restrict the ability of the Company to undertake additional financing or acquisitions to the extent that such financing or acquisitions would cause the Secured Leverage Ratio to exceed the specified maximum.
Failure to comply with these covenants and restrictions could result in an event of default under the Credit Agreement. In such an event, the Company could not request additional borrowings under the revolving facilities, and all amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement, together with accrued interest, could then be declared immediately due and payable. Upon the occurrence and for the duration of a payment event of default, an additional default interest rate equal to 2.0% per annum will apply to all overdue obligations under the Credit Agreement. If an event of default occurs under the Credit Agreement and the lenders cause all of the outstanding debt obligations under the Credit Agreement to become due and payable, this would result in a default under the indentures governing the Company’s outstanding debt securities and could lead to an acceleration of obligations related to these debt securities. As of March 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and restrictions in the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Company believes that it will remain in compliance for the term of the Credit Agreement and that its ability to borrow additional funds under the Credit Agreement will not be adversely affected by the covenants and restrictions.
28
The Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) determines pricing under the Credit Agreement. The interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Agreement is, at the Company’s option, the Base Rate, Term SOFR or, for non-U.S. dollar borrowings only, the Eurocurrency Rate (each as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is linked to the Total Leverage Ratio. The margins range from 1.00% to 2.25% for Term SOFR loans and Eurocurrency Rate loans and from 0.00% to 1.25% for Base Rate loans. In addition, a commitment fee is payable on the unused revolving credit facility commitments ranging from 0.20% to 0.35% per annum linked to the Total Leverage Ratio.
Obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets, excluding real estate and certain other excluded assets, of certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and certain foreign subsidiaries. Such obligations are also secured by a pledge of intercompany debt and equity investments in certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and, in the case of foreign obligations, of stock of certain foreign subsidiaries. All obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company, and certain foreign obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company.
In May 2024, the Company issued €500 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes that bear interest at 5.250% and mature on June 1, 2029. Also, in May 2024, the Company issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes that bear interest at 7.375% and mature on June 1, 2032. The senior notes were issued via private placements and are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. The net proceeds, after deducting debt issuance costs, were used to repurchase and redeem the senior notes described in the May 2024 tender offer and redemption below.
In May 2024, the Company repurchased €323.4 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2.875% Senior Notes due 2025 pursuant to a tender offer and redeemed $300 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 6.375% Senior Notes due 2025. The repurchase and redemption were funded with the proceeds from the May 2024 senior notes issuances described above. The Company recorded approximately $2 million of additional interest charges related to the senior note repurchases conducted in the second quarter of 2024 for note repurchase premiums and the write-off of unamortized finance fees. At March 31, 2025, the 2.875% Senior Notes due 2025 were fully repaid.
The Company assesses its capital raising and refinancing needs on an ongoing basis and may enter into additional credit facilities and seek to issue equity and/or debt securities in the domestic and international capital markets if market conditions are favorable. Also, depending on market conditions, the Company may elect to repurchase portions of its debt securities in the open market.
Material Cash Requirements
There have been no material changes to the Company’s material cash requirements at March 31, 2025 from those described in Part II, Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Capital Resources and Liquidity - Material Cash Requirements” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Cash Flows
Operating activities: Cash utilized by operating activities was $171 million and $270 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in cash utilized by operating activities in the first three months of 2025 was primarily due to a lower use of working capital, partially offset by lower net income and higher cash paid for restructuring activities than in the same period in 2024.
Working capital was a use of cash of $314 million in the first three months of 2025, compared to a use of cash of $492 million in the same period in 2024. The reduction in working capital as a use of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2025 reflects lower inventory levels compared to the same period in the prior year. The Company’s use of its accounts receivable factoring programs resulted in a decrease to cash provided by operating activities of approximately $31 million and $17 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Excluding the impact of
29
accounts receivable factoring, the Company’s days sales outstanding as of March 31, 2025 were slightly lower compared to March 31, 2024.
Investing activities: Cash utilized in investing activities was $120 million and $215 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Capital spending for property, plant and equipment was $135 million during the first three months of 2025, compared to $213 million in the same period in 2024, reflecting lower spending as the Company was constructing a new plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky and several other expansion projects in 2024 that are not reoccurring in the first quarter of 2025. The Company estimates that its full year 2025 capital expenditures is expected to range between approximately $400 million and $450 million. Net cash proceeds on the sale of miscellaneous assets was $13 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, reflecting proceeds on the sale of land and buildings of a previously closed plant in the Americas.
Financing activities: Cash utilized by financing activities was $33 million and $17 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Financing activities included additions to long-term debt of $362 million and $140 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Financing activities included repayments of long-term debt of $387 million and $147 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. During each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company repurchased $10 million of its common stock.
The Company anticipates that cash flows from its operations and from utilization of credit available under the revolving credit facilities provided by the Credit Agreement will be sufficient to fund its operating and seasonal working capital needs, debt service and other obligations on a short-term (the next 12 months) and long-term basis (beyond the next 12 months). However, as the Company cannot predict the impact from tariffs and other changes in global trade policies and the outcome of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and its impact on the Company’s customers and suppliers, the negative financial impact to the Company’s results cannot be reasonably estimated but could be material. The Company is actively managing its business to maintain cash flow, and it has significant liquidity. The Company believes that these factors will allow it to meet its anticipated funding requirements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The Company’s analysis and discussion of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Estimates and assumptions are based on historical and other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances at the time the financial statements are issued. The results of these estimates may form the basis of the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities and may not be readily apparent from other sources. Actual results, under conditions and circumstances different from those assumed, may differ from estimates.
The impact of, and any associated risks related to, estimates and assumptions are discussed within Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, as well as in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, if applicable, where estimates and assumptions affect the Company’s reported and expected financial results.
There have been no other material changes in critical accounting estimates at March 31, 2025 from those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Forward-Looking Statements
This document contains “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Forward-looking statements reflect the company’s current expectations and projections about future events at the time, and thus
30
involve uncertainty and risk. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “may,” “plan,” “estimate,” “intend,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “target,” “commit,” and the negatives of these words and other similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements.
It is possible that the Company’s future financial performance may differ from expectations due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to the following: (1) the Company’s ability to achieve expected benefits from cost management, efficiency improvements, and profitability initiatives, such as its Fit to Win program, including expected impacts from production curtailments, reduction in force and furnace closures, (2) the general political, economic, legal and competitive conditions in markets and countries where the Company has operations, including uncertainties related to economic and social conditions, trade policies and disputes, financial market conditions, disruptions in the supply chain, competitive pricing pressures, inflation or deflation, changes in tax rates, changes in laws or policies, legal proceedings involving the Company, war, civil disturbance or acts of terrorism, natural disasters, public health issues and weather, (3) cost and availability of raw materials, labor, energy and transportation (including impacts related to the current Ukraine-Russia and Israel-Hamas conflicts and disruptions in supply of raw materials caused by transportation delays), (4) competitive pressures from other glass container producers and alternative forms of packaging or consolidation among competitors and customers, (5) changes in consumer preferences or customer inventory management practices, (6) the continuing consolidation of the Company’s customer base, (7) the Company’s ability to improve its glass melting technology, known as the MAGMA program, and implement it in a manner to deliver economic profit within the timeframe expected in addition to successfully achieving key production and commercial milestones, (8) unanticipated supply chain and operational disruptions, including higher capital spending, (9) seasonality of customer demand, (10) the failure of the Company’s joint venture partners to meet their obligations or commit additional capital to the joint venture, (11) labor shortages, labor cost increases or strikes, (12) the Company’s ability to acquire or divest businesses, acquire and expand plants, integrate operations of acquired businesses and achieve expected benefits from acquisitions, divestitures or expansions, (13) the Company’s ability to generate sufficient future cash flows to ensure the Company’s goodwill is not impaired, (14) any increases in the underfunded status of the Company’s pension plans, (15) any failure or disruption of the Company’s information technology, or those of third parties on which the Company relies, or any cybersecurity or data privacy incidents affecting the company or its third-party service providers, (16) risks related to the Company’s indebtedness or changes in capital availability or cost, including interest rate fluctuations and the ability of the Company to generate cash to service indebtedness and refinance debt on favorable terms, (17) risks associated with operating in foreign countries, (18) foreign currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar, (19) changes in tax laws or global trade policies, (20) the Company’s ability to comply with various environmental legal requirements, (21) risks related to recycling and recycled content laws and regulations, (22) risks related to climate-change and air emissions, including related laws or regulations and increased ESG scrutiny and changing expectations from stakeholders, and the other risk factors discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and any subsequently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
It is not possible to foresee or identify all such factors. Any forward-looking statements in this document are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances. Forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance, and actual results or developments may differ materially from expectations. While the Company continually reviews trends and uncertainties affecting the Company’s results of operations and financial condition, the Company does not assume any obligation to update or supplement any particular forward-looking statements contained in this document.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
There have been no material changes in market risk at March 31, 2025 from those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Also, the Company has investments in certain unconsolidated entities. As the Company does not control or manage these entities, its disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those maintained with respect to its consolidated subsidiaries.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2025.
As required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
32
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
SEC regulations require the Company to disclose certain information about environmental proceedings if the Company reasonably believes that such proceedings may result in monetary sanctions above a stated threshold. The Company uses a threshold of $1 million for purposes of determining whether disclosure of any such proceedings is required. Except as disclosed in Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, no such proceedings were pending or contemplated as of March 31, 2025.
For further information on legal proceedings, see Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which is included in Part I of this Quarterly Report and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in risk factors at March 31, 2025 from those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Global Economic and Legal Environment—The global credit, financial, economic and legal environment could have a material adverse effect on operations and financial condition.
The global credit, financial, economic and legal environment can be negatively impacted by numerous events or occurrences, including political events, trade policies and disputes, acts of terrorism, hostilities or wars, natural disasters and public health issues, such as a pandemic. For example, the current conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and Hamas and Israel, as well as any further escalation or expansion of these conflicts, and any related economic sanctions or other impacts could adversely impact the global credit, financial, economic and legal environment, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations, including the following:
● | Downturns in the business or financial condition of any of the Company’s customers or suppliers could result in a loss of revenues or a disruption in the supply of raw materials; |
● | Unfavorable macroeconomic conditions, such as a recession or continued slowed economic growth and uncertainty surrounding international trade policies and regulations as well as disputes and protectionist measures, could negatively affect consumer demand for the Company’s products; |
● | Cost inflation, including as a result of imposition of or increase in tariffs, could negatively impact the Company’s costs for energy, labor, materials and services, and impact the Company’s profitability if increased costs are not fully passed on to customers through increased prices of the Company’s products; |
● | Changes in laws or policies governing the terms of foreign trade, and in particular increased trade restrictions, tariffs or taxes on imports or exports from or to countries where the Company manufactures or sells, or its customers sells, its products may affect the prices of and demand for the Company’s products; |
● | Tightening of credit in financial markets or increasing interest rates could reduce the Company’s ability, as well as the ability of the Company’s customers and suppliers, to obtain future financing; |
● | Volatile market performance could affect the fair value of the Company’s pension assets and liabilities, potentially requiring the Company to make significant additional contributions to its pension plans to maintain prescribed funding levels, and may lead to adverse changes in the availability, terms and cost of capital; |
● | The deterioration of any of the lending parties under the Company’s revolving credit facility or the creditworthiness of the counterparties to the Company’s derivative transactions could result in such parties’ failure to satisfy their obligations under their arrangements with the Company; |
33
● | A significant weakening of the Company’s financial position or results of operations could result in noncompliance with the covenants under the Company’s indebtedness; and |
● | Legal proceedings arising from the Company’s business, including governmental investigations and other government actions could be costly, time-consuming and disruptive to the Company’s operations. |
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company purchased 941,274 shares of its common stock for approximately $10 million. The share purchases were made pursuant to a $100 million anti-dilutive share repurchase program authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors on May 14, 2024, which is intended to offset stock-based compensation provided to the Company’s directors, officers, and employees. Approximately $70 million remained available for purchases under this program as of March 31, 2025. The share repurchase program has no expiration date. The following table provides information about the Company’s purchases of its common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2025:
