O-I Glass, Inc. reported a significant decline in financial performance for the second quarter of 2026, with a net loss attributable to the company of $972 million, or $6.33 per share, compared to a net loss of $5 million, or $0.03 per share, in the same period of 2025. The company's total net sales decreased by approximately 2%, from $1.706 billion in Q2 2025 to $1.668 billion in Q2 2026, primarily due to lower sales volumes and average selling prices. The company attributed the decline in sales to softer demand, particularly in the beer, wine, and spirits categories, as well as operational disruptions following recent plant restructuring actions.
The company's segment operating profit also saw a notable decrease, falling from $225 million in Q2 2025 to $171 million in Q2 2026. This decline was largely driven by lower net prices and reduced sales volumes, despite some cost savings from the company's ongoing "Fit to Win" initiative, which aims to streamline operations and reduce costs. The Americas segment reported a slight increase in operating profit to $165 million, while the Europe segment experienced a dramatic drop to $6 million, reflecting competitive pressures and increased energy costs.
O-I Glass's balance sheet showed total assets of $8.088 billion as of June 30, 2026, down from $9.243 billion at the end of 2025. The company reported a significant goodwill impairment charge of $873 million, primarily related to its European operations, which faced a combination of lower projected earnings and cash flow, as well as increased operational costs. The impairment reflects the challenges the company faces in the European market, including competitive pricing pressures and rising energy costs due to geopolitical tensions.
In terms of operational metrics, the company reported a 5% decline in glass container shipments year-over-year, with June 2026 volumes flat compared to June 2025. The company anticipates a gradual recovery in demand, supported by new business wins and easier comparisons in the second half of 2026. However, management expects continued challenges, including approximately $150 million in higher energy costs in Europe and ongoing inflationary pressures.
Looking ahead, O-I Glass expects cash provided by operating activities to range between $275 million and $375 million for 2026, with capital expenditures projected at approximately $425 million. The company remains focused on its "Fit to Win" initiative, aiming to generate approximately $200 million in benefits in 2026, while also managing its debt and liquidity to navigate the current economic landscape.
