Stable Top-line With Significantly Higher Margins and Earnings
Continued Strong Fit To Win Execution Drives Upgraded 2025 Earnings Guidance

O-I Glass, Inc. ("O-I") (NYSE:OI) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

	Net Earnings (Loss) Attributable to the Company Per Share (Diluted)			Earnings (Loss) Before Income Taxes $M
	*3Q25*	*3Q24*		*3Q25*	*3Q24*
Reported	$0.19		($0.52)	$58 (margins up 690 basis points)	($57)

Non – GAAP	$0.48	($0.04)		$235 (margins up 570 basis points)	$144

"O-I delivered strong third-quarter earnings along with substantially higher margins compared to the prior year period. Building on a stable top-line, we achieved much better results through disciplined execution of Fit to Win initiatives, higher production efficiency and favorable net price," said Gordon Hardie, Chief Executive Officer of O-I Glass.

"We continue to make significant progress towards the targets set at our Investor Day earlier this year. Despite subdued demand, our stable top-line is underpinned by a higher quality of revenue, as we prioritize economic profit and take a disciplined approach to pricing, which includes tighter mix management and focus on expanding our business in attractive and growing categories. We continue to execute our Fit to Win initiative, delivering another $75 million of benefits in the third quarter and $220 million year-to-date. We are on pace to exceed our $250 million annual 2025 target for Fit to Win Benefits. As a result, O-I expects to achieve higher adjusted earnings, improved margins, greater free cash flow, and a healthier balance sheet in 2025."

"Given our solid performance, we are raising our full-year 2025 adjusted earnings guidance to $1.55 - $1.65 per share, nearly double last year's results. We expect continued momentum in 2026 and beyond, with further increases in adjusted earnings and free cash flow as we implement our strategy. Ongoing execution of Fit to Win sets O-I up well to achieve its 2027 objectives and transition to profitable growth beyond 2027," Hardie concluded.

Third Quarter 2025 Results

O-I Glass reported third quarter 2025 net sales of $1.7 billion, consistent with the prior year period. Net sales benefited from higher average selling prices and favorable currency translation.

Sales volume (in tons) was down as modest growth in the NAB, Food and RTD categories was more than offset by lower Beer and Wine. Yet, trends improved over the course of the quarter and volume was nearly flat with the prior year in September.

Earnings before income taxes totaled $58 million, an improvement of $115 million compared to a loss before income taxes of $57 million in the same period last year as margins increased 690 basis points. This increase primarily reflected a $91 million rise in segment operating profit, which reached $235 million in the third quarter, up from $144 million in the same period of 2024 and represented a 570 basis point improvement in segment operating profit margins.

Americas: Segment operating profit rose to $140 million, up from $88 million in the prior year period, a 59 percent improvement as margins increased 550 basis points. Better results were driven by lower operating costs due to significant savings from O-I's Fit to Win initiatives as well as favorable net price. As expected, sales volumes declined moderately due to continued subdued consumer demand, inventory corrections in the beer value chain, and intentionally exiting unprofitable business.
Europe: Segment operating profit increased to $95 million, up from $56 million in the prior year period, a 70 percent increase as margins improved 590 basis points. Better results were driven by favorable operating costs reflecting higher production levels and benefits from Fit to Win initiatives. As expected, net price was a headwind, and sales volume, while down modestly, was flat excluding the impact of a major project start-up.

Retained corporate and other costs were $26 million, compared to $31 million in the prior year period. Net interest expense was $91 million, up from $87 million in the third quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher fees associated with the successful refinancing of the company's bank credit agreement.

The company reported net earnings attributable to the company of $0.19 per share (diluted) in the third quarter of 2025, up from a net loss of $0.52 per share in the prior year period.

Adjusted earnings, which exclude items not representative of ongoing operations, were $0.48 per share up from an adjusted loss of $0.04 per share in the third quarter of 2024.

Updated Full-Year 2025 Outlook

	2025 Guidance		2024
	Current	Previous	Actual
Adjusted Earnings Per Share (EPS)	$1.55 - $1.65	$1.30 - $1.55	$0.81
Free Cash Flow – Source / (Use) ($M)	$150 - $200	$150 - $200	($128)

The company has increased its full-year 2025 adjusted earnings guidance reflecting strong year-to-date performance and continued momentum from the Fit to Win program.

O-I now expects adjusted earnings will be in the range of $1.55 - $1.65 per share, compared to the previous outlook of $1.30 - $1.55 per share. Management anticipates adjusted earnings per share will nearly double when compared to the 2024 results.

The company expects full-year free cash flow to be between $150 million and $200 million, representing an improvement of approximately $300 million over the prior year, even after accounting for about $150 million in cash restructuring costs. Although the earnings outlook has improved, the current year free cash flow guidance remains unchanged due to higher-than-expected restructuring opportunities. These increased costs are a result of O-I's accelerated network optimization initiatives, which are expected to deliver benefits in 2026 and beyond.

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 November 3, 2025, and a full-year adjusted effective tax rate of approximately 33 - 36 percent.

The adjusted earnings and cash flow guidance ranges may not fully reflect uncertainty in macroeconomic conditions, foreign currency exchange rates, energy and raw materials costs, supply chain disruptions, labor challenges, and 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 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.
