O-I Glass, Inc. reported a net loss of $106 million for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, compared to a loss of $103 million in the previous year. The company's total revenue decreased by 8% to $6.53 billion, down from $7.11 billion in 2023. This decline was attributed to lower sales volumes, reduced average selling prices, and unfavorable foreign currency translation effects. Segment operating profit also fell significantly, with the Americas segment reporting $392 million, down from $511 million, and Europe dropping to $356 million from $682 million in 2023.
In response to ongoing market challenges, O-I Glass initiated its "Fit to Win" strategic review in 2024, aimed at optimizing its manufacturing footprint and reducing costs. This initiative has led to the idling of eight furnaces and approximately 1,500 job eliminations. The company anticipates that these actions will enhance shareholder returns and improve operational efficiency. The restructuring efforts resulted in pre-tax charges of $206 million in 2024, primarily related to severance and asset impairment costs.
Operationally, O-I Glass faced significant challenges, including a 4% decline in glass container shipments, particularly in the spirits and beer categories, as customers adjusted their inventory management practices. The company reported a decrease in net sales across both its Americas and Europe segments, with the Americas generating $3.58 billion and Europe $2.82 billion in 2024. The company also noted that competitive pressures and excess capacity in Europe contributed to the decline in sales.
Looking ahead, O-I Glass remains cautious about its commercial outlook for 2025, projecting flat to slightly declining sales volumes. The company expects to realize $175 million to $200 million in benefits from its Fit to Win initiative, which is anticipated to help lower operating costs. However, the company also warned of potential headwinds from competitive pricing pressures, particularly in Europe, and the impact of foreign currency translation on earnings. The company aims to achieve adjusted EBITDA of at least $1.45 billion by 2027 through ongoing strategic initiatives and operational improvements.
