O-I Glass, Inc.: O-I Glass Reports Third Quarter 2024 Results

PERRYSBURG, Ohio, Oct. 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

  • Rapidly Implementing Fit To Win Priorities to Drive Improved Performance in 2025 and Beyond
  • Business Returned to Modest Sales Volume Growth, Despite Sluggish Market Conditions
  • Updating 2024 Business Outlook Amid Continued Muted Demand and Consumer Uncertainty

O-I Glass, Inc. ("O-I") (NYSE: OI) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

"Our third-quarter results declined when compared to the strong performance in the prior year period. Lower earnings primarily reflected significant production curtailment as we took decisive action to reduce high inventory levels after several quarters of sluggish demand. Net price was also down which was partially offset by modestly higher shipment levels," said Gordon Hardie, CEO of O-I Glass.

"We are aggressively implementing our initial Fit to Win priorities. Along with reducing inventories, we are rebalancing our network to eliminate unprofitable and redundant capacity as well as executing the first phase of our SG&A reduction program."

"We do not believe our 2024 performance is reflective of what the business can deliver. We are determined to improve results in 2025 and beyond, as we drive the improvement measures in our Fit to Win program," Hardie added.

Net sales were $1.7 billion in the third quarter of 2024, down $64 million from the prior year period reflecting a 2 percent increase in sales volume (in tons), offset by a 4 percent decrease in average selling prices, and unfavorable foreign currency translation.

The company reported a loss before income taxes of $57 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to earnings before income taxes of $82 million in the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to lower segment operating profit and higher interest expense. These headwinds were partially offset by lower retained corporate and other costs.

Segment operating profit was $144 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $301 million in the same period of 2023.

  • Americas: Segment operating profit in the Americas was $88 million, down from $116 million in the prior year period. This decline reflected a $24 million impact from lower net price which was partially offset by a nearly 7 percent increase in sales volume (in tons) which benefited segment operating profit by $14 million. Operating costs increased $17 million due to temporary production curtailment to rebalance inventory levels in response to lower demand in recent quarters, mitigated by effective operating and cost management. Segment operating profit was also impacted by $1 million from unfavorable foreign currency translation.

  • Europe: Segment operating profit in Europe was $56 million, compared to $185 million in the prior year period. This decline reflected a $55 million impact from lower net price, a 2 percent decrease in sales volume (in tons) which reduced segment operating profit by $3 million, and $74 million of higher operating costs resulting from significant temporary production curtailments. However, segment operating profit benefited by $3 million from favorable foreign currency translation.

Retained corporate and other costs were $31 million in the third quarter of 2024, down from $60 million in the prior year period, due to lower corporate spending and management incentives.

Net interest expense totaled $87 million, up from $78 million in the prior year period, due to a higher interest rate environment.

O-I generated a net loss attributable to the company of $0.52 per share in the third quarter of 2024, compared to net earnings attributable to the company of $0.32 per share (diluted) in the prior year period. Both periods were impacted by items management considers not representative of ongoing operations, primarily related to restructuring charges.

The company reported an adjusted loss of $0.04 per share in the third quarter of 2024, compared to adjusted earnings of $0.80 per share (diluted) in the prior year period.

2024 Outlook

FY24 GUIDANCE
CURRENTPrior
Sales Volume Growth (in Tons)Down ? LSD / MSDFlat to Down LSD
Adjusted Earnings Per Share (EPS)$0.70 - $0.80$1.00 - $1.25
Free Cash Flow ($M)Use of $130 - $170Source of $50 - $100

The company has revised its full year guidance given softer than anticipated market demand. Management now expects 2024 adjusted earnings per share will be between $0.70 and $0.80, down from the previous guidance of $1.00 to $1.25 per share.

This updated guidance reflects lower than anticipated shipment levels for the year, additional temporary production curtailment to reduce inventory levels amid softer demand in the remainder of 2024, and a higher effective tax rate due to lower earnings. Actions to optimize inventory and O-I's manufacturing network are required to accelerate and reshape the company's cost profile to deliver better, more sustainable results in 2025 and beyond.

Management has also revised its full-year free cash flow outlook to a use of cash between $130 and $170 million, due to softer shipments resulting in lower adjusted earnings and higher working capital, as well as $30 million in accelerated restructuring costs. Free cash flow is expected to decline from the previous year and includes the impact of higher interest and tax payments, as well as temporary production curtailments and Fit To Win restructuring actions to boost 2025 performance.

Guidance primarily reflects the company's current view on sales and production volume, mix, and working capital trends. O-I's adjusted earnings outlook assumes foreign currency rates as of October 28, 2024, and a full-year adjusted effective tax rate of approximately 42 to 45 percent compared to the prior outlook of 33 to 35 percent. The adjusted earnings and free cash flow guidance ranges may not fully reflect uncertainty in macroeconomic conditions, currency rates, energy and raw materials costs, supply chain disruptions and labor challenges, among other factors.

Fit To Win Initiative

Management is implementing the first phase of O-I's Fit to Win initiative which is expected to deliver at least $300 million of annualized savings by 2027. The company is making rapid progress and anticipates at least $175 million of benefits in 2025, which represents the majority of the company's three year savings target.

O-I is moving to de-layer the organization, shift accountability to local markets, reduce central operating costs, and drive tighter capital discipline. These actions should reduce SG&A expense to no more than 5 percent of sales by early 2026, saving over $200 million on an annualized basis. Initial efforts are well underway, with more than one half of targeted savings expected in 2025.

Management is seeking to eliminate unprofitable and redundant capacity to increase network utilization and boost productivity. The company is evaluating the closure of at least 7 percent of capacity by mid-2025 to reduce the fixed base of the network and generate more than $100 million of annualized savings. As part of the 7 percent, O-I has already announced the indefinite or permanent closure of approximately 4 percent of capacity. Management plans to continue to drive greater competitiveness to underpin improved operating performance in 2025 and beyond.

Conference Call Scheduled for October 30, 2024

O-I's management team will conduct a conference call to discuss the company's latest results on Wednesday, October 30, 2024, at 8:00 a.m. ET. A live webcast of the conference call, including presentation materials, will be available on the O-I website, www.o-i.com/investors, in the News and Events section.

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 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.

Nach der Korrektur – 3 Kupferproduzenten für das Comeback

Kupfer wird oft als „das Gold der Energiewende“ bezeichnet, weil es aufgrund seiner hervorragenden elektrischen Leitfähigkeit eine zentrale Rolle in vielen Technologien spielt, die für nachhaltige Energiesysteme entscheidend sind.

Korrektur als Einstiegschance

Nach Höchstständen im Mai korrigierte das rote Metall stark. Die Abwärtsspirale verstärkte sich in den vergangenen Tagen aufgrund schwacher Konjunkturdaten aus den USA und China. Langfristig könnte sich die aktuell laufende Korrektur als exzellente Einstiegsmöglichkeit herausstellen.
