O-I Glass's annual report for the year ended December 31, 2022, reveals the following financial metrics:

The company reported an increase in net sales in 2023, driven by higher selling prices and favorable effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by lower shipments than the prior year. However, earnings before income taxes were $738 million lower in 2023 compared to the prior year, primarily due to a goodwill impairment charge, higher restructuring and asset impairment charges, and higher interest expense.

O-I Glass recorded a net loss attributable to the Company of $103 million in 2023, compared to net earnings attributable to the Company of $584 million in 2022. This decrease was attributed to items not representative of ongoing operations and other adjustments.

The company's financial analysis reveals weak revenue growth and increasing reinvestment in the business, positive EPS growth, and positive cash flows. However, O-I Glass has slimmer gross margins than its peers, weak operating margins with an unknown rate of growth, and a highly leveraged balance sheet. It's important to note that O-I Glass has just enough current assets to cover current liabilities, as shown by its current ratio of 1.4.
