NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Tabular data dollars in millions, except per share amounts

​

1. Segment Information

Historically, the Company had three reportable segments and three operating segments based on its geographic locations: the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific. These three segments are aligned with the Company’s internal approach to managing, reporting, and evaluating performance of its global glass operations. On July 31, 2020, the Company completed the sale of its Australia and New Zealand (“ANZ”) businesses, which comprised the majority of its businesses in the Asia Pacific region (approximately 85% of net sales in that region for the full year 2019), to Visy Industries Holdings Pty Ltd. (“Visy”). After the sale of the ANZ businesses, the remaining businesses in the Asia Pacific region do not meet the criteria of an individually reportable segment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the results of the Asia Pacific segment reflect only the results of its ANZ businesses. For all historical periods discussed in this report, the sales and operating results of the other businesses that historically comprised the Asia Pacific segment, and that have been retained by the Company, have been reclassified to Other sales and Retained corporate costs and other, respectively. For asset reporting purposes, only the assets related to the ANZ businesses have been reported in the Asia Pacific segment, while the other businesses that historically comprised this segment and that have been retained by the Company have been reclassified to the Other assets line for all periods presented.

Certain assets and activities not directly related to one of the regions or to glass manufacturing are reported with Retained corporate costs and other. These include licensing, equipment manufacturing, global engineering, certain equity investments and the remaining businesses in the Asia Pacific region that do not meet the criteria of an individually reportable segment after the sale of the ANZ businesses. Retained corporate costs and other also includes certain headquarters administrative and facilities costs and certain incentive compensation and other benefit plan costs that are global in nature and are not allocable to the reportable segments.

The Company’s measure of profit for its reportable segments is segment operating profit, which consists of consolidated earnings (loss) before interest income, interest expense, and benefit (provision) for income taxes and excludes amounts related to certain items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations, as well as certain retained corporate costs. The Company’s management uses segment operating profit, in combination with net sales and selected cash flow information, to evaluate performance and to allocate resources. Segment operating profit for reportable segments includes an allocation of some corporate expenses based on both a percentage of sales and direct billings based on the costs of specific services provided. Segment operating profit is not a recognized term under U.S. GAAP and, therefore, does not purport to be an alternative to earnings (loss) before income taxes. Further, the Company's measure of segment operating profit may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
​

2. Revenue

Revenue is recognized at the point in time when obligations under the terms of the Company’s contracts and related purchase orders with its customers are satisfied. This occurs with the transfer of control of glass containers, which primarily takes place when products are shipped from the Company’s manufacturing or warehousing facilities to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods, which includes estimated provisions for rebates, discounts, returns and allowances. Sales, value-added, and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. The Company’s payment terms are based on customary business practices and can vary by customer type. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. Also, the Company elected to account for shipping and handling costs as a fulfillment cost at the time of shipment.

For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, the Company had no material bad debt expense, and there were no material contract assets, contract liabilities or deferred contract costs recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Consistent with the disclosures in Note 1 related to the ANZ sale, Asia Pacific revenue for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020, reflect only the revenue of the ANZ businesses. The other businesses that comprised the Asia Pacific segment and that have been retained by the Company have been reclassified to the Other sales line.

3. Credit Losses

The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through its sales of glass containers to customers. The Company’s trade receivables from customers are due within one year or less. The Company assesses each customer’s ability to pay for the glass containers it sells to them by conducting a credit review. The credit review considers the expected billing exposure and timing for payment and the customer’s established credit rating or the Company’s assessment of the customer’s creditworthiness, based on an analysis of their financial statements when a credit rating is not available. The Company also considers contract terms and conditions, country and political risk, and business strategy in its evaluation. A credit limit is established for each customer based on the outcome of this review. The Company may require collateralized asset support or a prepayment to mitigate credit risk. The Company monitors its ongoing credit exposure through the active review of customer balances against contract terms and due dates, including timely account reconciliation, dispute resolution and payment confirmation. The Company may employ collection agencies and legal counsel to pursue the recovery of defaulted receivables.

At September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, the Company reported $793 million and $724 million of accounts receivable, respectively, net of allowances of $31 million and $33 million, respectively. Changes in the allowance were not material for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020.

​

5. Derivative Instruments

The Company has certain derivative assets and liabilities, which consist of foreign exchange option and forward contracts, interest rate swaps and cross-currency swaps. The valuation of these instruments is determined primarily using the income approach, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. Foreign exchange rates and interest rates are the significant inputs into the valuation models. The Company also evaluates counterparty risk in determining fair values. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. These inputs are observable in active markets over the terms of the instruments the Company holds, and, accordingly, the Company classifies its derivative assets and liabilities as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

Cash Flow Hedges of Foreign Exchange Risk

The Company has variable-interest rate borrowings denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the borrowing subsidiaries. As a result, the Company is exposed to fluctuations in the currency of the borrowing against the subsidiaries’ functional currency. The Company uses derivatives to manage these exposures and designates these derivatives as cash flow hedges of foreign exchange risk.

An unrecognized gain of $9 million at September 30, 2021, an unrecognized gain of $9 million at December 31, 2020 and an unrecognized gain of $9 million at September 30, 2020, related to these cross-currency swaps, were included in Accumulated OCI, and will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.

Interest Rate Swaps Designated as Fair Value Hedges

The Company enters into interest rate swaps in order to maintain a capital structure containing targeted amounts of fixed and floating-rate debt and manage interest rate risk. The Company’s fixed-to-variable interest rate swaps are accounted for as fair value hedges. The relevant terms of the swap agreements match the corresponding terms of the notes, and therefore there is no hedge ineffectiveness. The Company recorded the net of the fair market values of the swaps as a long-term liability and short-term asset, along with a corresponding net decrease in the carrying value of the hedged debt.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company enters into interest rate swaps in order to maintain a capital structure containing targeted amounts of fixed and floating-rate debt and manage interest rate risk. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments. These interest rate swap agreements were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable-rate debt.

An unrecognized loss of $0 at September 30, 2021, an unrecognized loss of less than $1 million at December 31, 2020 and an unrecognized loss of less than $1 million at September 30, 2020 related to these interest rate swaps were included in Accumulated OCI and will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.

Net Investment Hedges

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments it holds in non-U.S. subsidiaries and uses cross-currency swaps to partially hedge this exposure.

Foreign Exchange Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

The Company uses short-term forward exchange or option agreements to purchase foreign currencies at set rates in the future. These agreements are used to limit exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates for significant planned purchases of fixed assets or commodities that are denominated in currencies other than the subsidiaries’ functional currency. The Company also uses foreign exchange agreements to offset the foreign currency risk for receivables and payables, including intercompany receivables, payables, and loans, not denominated in, or indexed to, their functional currencies.

When a decision is made to take restructuring actions, the Company manages and accounts for them programmatically apart from the on-going operations of the business. Information related to major programs is presented separately, while minor initiatives are presented on a combined basis. As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, no major restructuring programs were in effect.

​

13

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company implemented several discrete restructuring initiatives and recorded restructuring and other charges of $12 million and $20 million, respectively. These charges consisted of employee costs, such as severance and benefit-related costs and other exit costs (including related consulting costs attributed to restructuring of managed services activities) at a number of the Company’s businesses in the Americas and Europe. These restructuring charges were discrete actions and are expected to approximate the total cumulative costs for those actions as no material additional costs are expected to be incurred. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, these charges were recorded to Other income (expense), net on the Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations. The Company expects that the majority of the remaining cash expenditures related to the accrued employee and other exit costs will be paid out over the next several years.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company implemented several discrete restructuring initiatives and recorded restructuring, asset impairment and other charges of $5 million and $72 million, respectively. These charges consisted of employee costs, such as severance and benefit-related costs, write-down of assets and other exit costs, primarily related to a plant closure in the Americas and to a reduction-in-force program as part of its selling, general and administrative expense reduction initiative to help simplify the organization and improve decision making and execution. These restructuring charges were discrete actions and are expected to approximate the total cumulative costs for those actions as no material additional costs are expected to be incurred. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, these charges were recorded to Other income (expense), net on the Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations. The Company expects that the majority of the remaining cash expenditures related to the accrued employee and other exit costs will be paid out over the next several years.

The Company’s decisions to curtail selected production capacity have resulted in write-downs of certain long-lived assets to the extent their carrying value exceeded fair value or fair value less cost to sell. The Company classified the assumptions used to determine the fair value of the impaired assets in the period that the measurement was taken as Level 3 (third-party appraisal) in the fair value hierarchy as set forth in the general accounting principles for fair value measurements. For the asset impairments recorded through September 30, 2021, the remaining carrying value of the impaired assets was approximately $1 million.

​

14

The Company settled a portion of its pension obligations, which resulted in a reduction of its pension liability of approximately $46 million and pension settlement charges of $5 million in both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded pension settlement charges totaling $0 and $8 million, respectively.

​

During the third quarter of 2020, the Company remeasured a portion of its post-retirement benefit obligations in the U.S. due to plan changes, which resulted in a reduction in post-retirement benefit obligations of approximately $32 million.

​

​

​

8. Income Taxes

The Company calculates its interim tax provision using the estimated annual effective tax rate (“EAETR”) methodology in accordance with ASC 740-270. The EAETR is applied to the year-to-date ordinary income, exclusive of discrete items. The tax effects of discrete items are then included to arrive at the total reported interim tax provision. The determination of the EAETR is based upon a number of estimates, including the estimated annual pretax ordinary income or loss in each tax jurisdiction in which the Company operates. The tax effects of discrete items are recognized in the tax provision in the quarter they occur, in accordance with GAAP. Depending on various factors, such as the item’s significance in relation to total income and the rate of tax applicable in the jurisdiction to which it relates, discrete items in any quarter can materially impact the reported effective tax rate. The Company’s annual effective tax rate may be affected by the mix of earnings in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, and factors such as changes in tax laws, tax rates or regulations, changes in business, changing interpretation of existing tax laws or regulations, the finalization of tax audits and reviews, as well as other factors. As such, there can be significant volatility in interim tax provisions. The annual effective tax rate differs from the statutory U.S. Federal tax rate of 21% primarily because of varying non-U.S. tax rates and the impact of the U.S. valuation allowance.

​

The Company is currently under examination in various tax jurisdictions, including Brazil, Canada, Colombia, France, Indonesia, Italy, Mexico and Peru. The years under examination range from 2004 through 2018. The Company has received tax assessments in excess of established reserves. The Company is contesting these tax assessments, and will continue to do so, including pursuing all available remedies, such as appeals and litigation, if necessary. The Company believes that adequate provisions for all income tax uncertainties have been made. However, if tax assessments are settled against the Company at amounts in excess of established reserves, it could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

The Company presents debt issuance costs in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as a deduction of the carrying amount of the related debt liability.

On June 25, 2019, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries entered into a Senior Secured Credit Facility Agreement (as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Syndicated Facility Agreement dated as of December 13, 2019, and as further amended by that certain Amendment No. 2 to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Syndicated Facility Agreement dated as of December 19, 2019, the “Agreement”), which amended and restated the previous credit agreement (the “Previous Agreement”). The proceeds from the Agreement were used to repay all outstanding amounts under the Previous Agreement.

The Agreement provides for up to $3.0 billion of borrowings pursuant to term loans and revolving credit facilities. The term loans mature, and the revolving credit facilities terminate, in June 2024. At September 30, 2021, the Agreement includes a $300 million revolving credit facility, a $1.2 billion multicurrency revolving credit facility, and a $1.5 billion term loan A facility ($1,068 million outstanding balance at September 30, 2021, net of debt issuance costs). At September 30, 2021, the Company had unused credit of $1,489 million available under the Agreement. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Agreement at September 30, 2021 was 1.58%.

The Agreement contains various covenants that restrict, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, the ability of the Company to incur certain indebtedness and liens, make certain investments, become liable under contingent obligations in certain defined instances only, make restricted payments, make certain asset sales within guidelines and limits, engage in certain affiliate transactions, participate in sale and leaseback financing arrangements, alter its fundamental business, and amend certain subordinated debt obligations.

The Agreement also contains one financial maintenance covenant, a Total Leverage Ratio (the “Leverage Ratio”), that requires the Company not to exceed a ratio of 5.0x calculated by dividing consolidated total debt, less cash and cash equivalents, by Consolidated EBITDA, with such Leverage Ratio decreasing to (a) 4.75x for the quarter ending September 30, 2021 and (b) 4.50 x for the quarter ending December 31, 2021 and thereafter, as defined and described in the Agreement. The maximum Leverage Ratio is subject to an increase of 0.5x for (i) any fiscal quarter during which certain qualifying acquisitions (as specified in the Agreement) are consummated and (ii) the following three fiscal

16

quarters, provided that the Leverage Ratio shall not exceed 5.0x. The Leverage Ratio could restrict the ability of the Company to undertake additional financing or acquisitions to the extent that such financing or acquisitions would cause the Leverage Ratio to exceed the specified maximum.

Failure to comply with these covenants and other customary restrictions could result in an event of default under the Agreement. In such an event, the Company could not request borrowings under the revolving facilities, and all amounts outstanding under the Agreement, together with accrued interest, could then be declared immediately due and payable. Upon the occurrence and for the duration of a payment event of default, an additional default interest rate equal to 2.0% per annum will apply to all overdue obligations under the Agreement. If an event of default occurs under the Agreement and the lenders cause all of the outstanding debt obligations under the Agreement to become due and payable, this would result in a default under the indentures governing the Company’s outstanding debt securities and could lead to an acceleration of obligations related to these debt securities. As of September 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and restrictions in the Agreement. In addition, the Company believes that it will remain in compliance and that its ability to borrow funds under the Agreement will not be adversely affected by the covenants and restrictions.

The Leverage Ratio also determines pricing under the Agreement. The interest rate on borrowings under the Agreement is, at the Company’s option, the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate, as defined in the Agreement, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is linked to the Leverage Ratio. The margins range from 1.00% to 1.50% for Eurocurrency Loans and from 0.00% to 0.50% for Base Rate Loans. In addition, a commitment fee is payable on the unused revolving credit facility commitments ranging from 0.20% to 0.30% per annum linked to the Leverage Ratio.

Obligations under the Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets, excluding real estate and certain other excluded assets, of certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and certain foreign subsidiaries. Such obligations are also secured by a pledge of intercompany debt and equity investments in certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and, in the case of foreign obligations, of stock of certain foreign subsidiaries. All obligations under the Agreement are guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company, and certain foreign obligations under the Agreement are guaranteed by certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company.

In May 2020, the Company issued $700 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes. The senior notes bear interest at a rate of 6.625% per annum and mature on May 13, 2027. The senior notes were issued via a private placement and are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. The net proceeds, after deducting debt issuance costs, totaled approximately $690 million and were used to redeem the remaining $130 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 4.875% senior notes due 2021, approximately $419 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 5.00% senior notes due 2022 and approximately $105 million of other secured borrowings. The Company recorded approximately $38 million of additional interest charges for note repurchase premiums and write-off of unamortized finance fees related to these redemptions.

In August 2020, the Company redeemed the remaining $81 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 5.00% senior notes due 2022. The Company recorded approximately $6 million of additional interest charges for note repurchase premiums and write-off of unamortized finance fees related to this redemption.

In order to maintain a capital structure containing appropriate amounts of fixed and floating-rate debt, the Company has entered into a series of interest rate swap agreements. These interest rate swap agreements were accounted for as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges (see Note 5 for more information).

The Company assesses its capital raising and refinancing needs on an ongoing basis and may enter into additional credit facilities and seek to issue equity and/or debt securities in the domestic and international capital markets if market conditions are favorable. Also, depending on market conditions, the Company may elect to repurchase portions of its debt securities in the open market.

The carrying amounts reported for certain long-term debt obligations subject to frequently redetermined interest rates approximate fair value. Fair values for the Company’s significant fixed rate debt obligations are based on

17

published market quotations, and are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Fair values at September 30, 2021 of the Company’s significant fixed rate debt obligations are as follows:

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | Principal | ​ | Indicated Market | ​ | ​ |
​ |  | Amount |  | Price Per $ |  | Fair Value |

10. Contingencies

Asbestos

From 1948 to 1958, one of the Company's former business units commercially produced and sold approximately $40 million of a high-temperature, calcium-silicate based pipe and block insulation material containing asbestos. The Company sold its insulation business unit in April 1958. The Company historically received claims from individuals alleging bodily injury and death as a result of exposure to asbestos from this product (“Asbestos Claims”). Some Asbestos Claims were brought as personal injury lawsuits that typically allege various theories of liability, including negligence, gross negligence and strict liability and seek compensatory and, in some cases, punitive damages.

Predominantly, however, Asbestos Claims were historically presented to the Company under administrative claims-handling agreements, which the Company had in place with many plaintiffs’ counsel throughout the country (“Administrative Claims”). Administrative Claims required evaluation and negotiation regarding whether particular claimants qualify under the criteria established by the related claims-handling agreements. The criteria for Administrative Claims included verification of a compensable illness and a reasonable probability of exposure to a product manufactured by the Company's former business unit during its manufacturing period ending in 1958. Plaintiffs’ counsel presented, and the Company negotiated, Administrative Claims under these various agreements in differing quantities, at different times, and under a variety of conditions.

On December 26 and 27, 2019, the Company implemented the Corporate Modernization, whereby O-I Glass became the new parent entity with Owens-Illinois Group, Inc. (“O-I Group”) and Paddock Enterprises LLC (“Paddock”) as direct, wholly owned subsidiaries, with Paddock as the successor-by-merger to O-I. The Company’s legacy asbestos-related liabilities remained within Paddock, with the Company’s glass-making operations remaining under O-I Group. As part of the Corporate Modernization transactions, O-I Glass entered into a support agreement with Paddock that requires O-I Glass to provide funding to Paddock for all permitted uses, subject to the terms of the support agreement. The key objectives of the Paddock support agreement are to ensure that Paddock has the ability to fund the costs and expenses of managing the Chapter 11 process, and ultimately settle Asbestos Claims through the establishment of a trust as described below and fund certain other liabilities.

On January 6, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), Paddock voluntarily filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) to equitably and finally resolve all of its current and future asbestos-related claims. O-I Glass and O-I Group were not included in the Chapter 11 filing. As a result of the initiation of the Chapter 11 proceeding, Paddock continues to operate in the ordinary course and with court protection from Asbestos Claims by operation of the automatic stay in Paddock’s Chapter 11 filing, which stays ongoing litigation and submission of claims against Paddock outside the Bankruptcy Court as of the Petition Date and defers the payment of Paddock’s outstanding obligations on account of settled or otherwise determined lawsuits and claims. The bankruptcy process is expected to provide a centralized forum to resolve presently pending and anticipated future lawsuits and claims associated with asbestos. Paddock’s ultimate goal in its Chapter 11 case is to confirm a plan of reorganization under section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code and utilize this specialized provision to

18

establish a trust that will address all current and future asbestos-related claims and that, in exchange for funding of the trust by the Company and/or its subsidiaries, will provide permanent injunctive relief, protecting the Company, each of its current and former affiliates and certain other related parties (the “Company Protected Parties”) from any Asbestos Claims based on products manufactured, sold, used, and/or distributed by Owens-Illinois, Inc.

Following the Petition Date, the activities of Paddock became subject to review and oversight by the bankruptcy court. As a result, the Company no longer has exclusive control over Paddock’s activities during the Chapter 11 proceedings. Therefore, Paddock was deconsolidated as of the Petition Date, and its assets and liabilities, which primarily included $47 million of cash, the legacy asbestos-related liabilities, as well as certain other assets and liabilities as of the Petition Date, were derecognized from the Company’s consolidated financial statements on a prospective basis. Simultaneously, the Company recognized a liability related to the Paddock support agreement, as described above, of $471 million as required under applicable accounting standards. The deconsolidation and Paddock support agreement resulted in a loss of approximately $14 million, which was reflected as a charge in the Company’s first quarter 2020 operating results. Additionally, the deconsolidation resulted in an investing outflow of $47 million in the Company’s first quarter 2020 consolidated cash flows.

On February 23, 2021, Paddock and O-I Glass commenced a court-approved mediation process regarding the terms of a potential consensual plan of reorganization pursuant to section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code with the Official Committee of Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants (the “ACC” or “Asbestos Claimants’ Committee”) appointed in the Paddock Chapter 11 case as the representative of current Paddock asbestos claimants, and the Legal Representative of Future Asbestos Claimants (the “FCR” or “Future Claimants’ Representative”) appointed in the Paddock Chapter 11 case as the representative of future Paddock asbestos claimants. On April 26, 2021, the Company announced that Paddock, the ACC and the FCR reached an agreement in principle, supported by O-I Glass, by accepting a proposal from the mediators setting forth total consideration to fund a trust created under section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code upon the effective date of a consensual plan of reorganization for Paddock.

This agreement in principle, which is subject to definitive documentation and satisfaction of certain conditions, will resolve the potential liability of Paddock and the Company Protected Parties for pending and future personal injury claims related to exposure to asbestos-containing products that were allegedly manufactured, distributed, used and/or sold by Owens-Illinois, Inc. Under the Chapter 11 plan that will implement the agreement in principle, an asbestos settlement trust (the “Paddock Trust”) created pursuant to the provisions of section 524(g) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code will be established and, on the effective date of the Chapter 11 plan, will be funded with $610 million in total consideration (“Settlement Consideration”). In exchange for the Settlement Consideration, each of the Company Protected Parties is expected to receive the benefit of a release from Paddock, and Paddock and the Company Protected Parties will receive the benefit of an injunction under Section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code channeling Asbestos Claims to the Paddock Trust and permanently enjoining the assertion of Asbestos Claims against Paddock and the Company Protected Parties.

The agreement in principle is subject to, among other things, the negotiation and filing of a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization for Paddock incorporating the terms of such agreement (the “Plan”), acceptance of the Plan by at least 75% of Paddock’s current asbestos claimants voting on such Plan, and confirmation of the Plan by the Bankruptcy Court and approval of the injunction in favor of Paddock and the Company Protected Parties by the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (“District Court”). On the effective date of the Plan, the Settlement Consideration will be provided and Asbestos Claims against Paddock and the Company Protected Parties will be permanently enjoined.

In connection with the agreement in principle, the Company has recorded a charge of $154 million related to its potential liability under the Paddock support agreement as a recognizable subsequent event in the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, primarily related to an increase to Paddock’s asbestos reserve estimate in consideration for the channeling injunction to be included in the Plan protecting Company Protected Parties from Asbestos Claims, as well as certain other adjustments to Paddock’s assets and liabilities, including estimated professional fees and expenses to be incurred in confirming and implementing the Plan. This charge was recorded to Other income (expense), net on the Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations.

19

Several risks and uncertainties remain related to Paddock’s Chapter 11 case that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, including the total costs of the Chapter 11 proceeding, and the length of time necessary to confirm a Plan, and the possibility that Paddock will be unsuccessful in confirming such Plan or that such Plan does not ultimately become effective. The Paddock support agreement liability of $625 million recorded on the Company’s September 30, 2021 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as required under applicable accounting standards is the Company’s best estimate based on the facts and circumstances that exist at the Form 10-Q filing date. These risk factors are discussed further in Part II, Item 1A–“Risk Factors.”

Prior to the Petition Date, the Company knew of approximately 850 asbestos lawsuits pending. This figure does not include an estimate of potential Administrative Claims that could have been presented under a claims-handling agreement due to the uncertainties around presentation timing, quantities, or qualification rates. The Company historically considered Administrative Claims to be filed and disposed of when they were accepted for payment.

The lack of uniform rules in lawsuit pleading practice, technical pleading requirements in some jurisdictions, local rules, and other factors caused considerable variation in the specific amounts of monetary damages asserted in lawsuits brought prior to the Petition Date. In the Company’s experience, the monetary relief alleged in a lawsuit bore little relationship to an Asbestos Claim’s merits or its disposition value. Rather, several variables, including, but not limited to, the type and severity of the asbestos disease, medical history, and exposure to other disease-causing agents; the product identification evidence against the Company and other co-defendants; the defenses available to the Company and other co-defendants; the specific jurisdiction in which the claim was made; the applicable law; and the law firm representing the claimant, affected the value.

The Company was also a defendant in other Asbestos Claims involving maritime workers, medical monitoring, co-defendants’ third-party actions, and property damage allegations. Based upon its experience, the Company assessed that these categories of Asbestos Claims would not involve any material liability. Therefore, they were not included in the description of pending or disposed matters.

From receipt of its first Asbestos Claim to the Petition Date, the Company in the aggregate disposed of approximately 401,200 Asbestos Claims at an average indemnity payment of approximately $10,200 per claim. The Company’s asbestos indemnity payments varied on a per-claim basis. Asbestos-related cash payments for 2019 were $151 million and the Company’s cash payments per claim disposed (inclusive of legal costs) were approximately $129,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Prior to the Petition Date, the Company’s objective was historically to achieve, where possible, resolution of Asbestos Claims pursuant to claims-handling agreements. Failure of claimants to meet certain medical and product exposure criteria in claims-handling agreements generally reduced the number of claims that would otherwise have been received by the Company in the tort system. In addition, changes in jurisdictional dynamics, legislative acts, asbestos docket management and procedures, the substantive law, the co-defendant pool, and other external factors affected lawsuit volume, claim volume, qualification rates, claim values, and related matters. Collectively, these variables generally had the effect of increasing the Company’s per-claim average indemnity payment over time.

Beginning with the initial liability of $975 million established in 1993, the Company has accrued a total of approximately $5.0 billion through just prior to the Petition Date, before insurance recoveries, for its asbestos-related liability. The Company’s estimates of its liability were significantly affected by, among other factors, the volatility of asbestos-related litigation in the United States, the significant number of co-defendants that filed for bankruptcy, changes in mortality rates, the inherent uncertainty of future disease incidence and claiming patterns against the Company, the significant expansion of the types of defendants sued in this litigation, and changes in the extent to which such defendants participated in the resolution of cases in which the Company was also a defendant.

Prior to the Petition Date, the Company continually monitored trends that could affect its ultimate liability and analyzed the developments and variables likely to affect the resolution of Asbestos Claims. The material components of the Company’s total accrued liability were determined by the Company in connection with its annual comprehensive legal review and consisted of the following estimates, to the extent it was probable that such liabilities had been incurred

20

and could be reasonably estimated: (i) the liability for Asbestos Claims already asserted against the Company; (ii) the liability for Asbestos Claims not yet asserted against the Company; and (iii) the legal defense costs estimated to be incurred in connection with the Asbestos Claims already asserted and those Asbestos Claims the Company believed would be asserted.

Through December 31, 2019, the Company historically conducted an annual comprehensive legal review of its asbestos-related liabilities and costs in connection with finalizing and reporting its annual consolidated results of operations, unless significant changes in trends or new developments warranted an earlier review. As part of its annual comprehensive legal review, the Company provided historical Asbestos Claims data to a third party with expertise in determining the impact of disease incidence and mortality on future filing trends to develop information to assist the Company in estimating the total number of future Asbestos Claims likely to be asserted against the Company. The Company used this estimate, along with an estimation of disposition costs and related legal costs, as inputs to develop its best estimate of its total probable liability. If the results of the annual comprehensive legal review indicated that the existing amount of the accrued liability was lower (higher) than its reasonably estimable asbestos-related costs, then the Company recorded an appropriate charge (credit) to the Company’s results of operations to increase (decrease) the accrued liability.

The significant assumptions underlying the material components of the Company’s accrual historically were:

| a) | settlements would continue to be limited almost exclusively to claimants who were exposed to the Company’s asbestos containing insulation prior to its exit from that business in 1958;

| b) | Asbestos Claims would continue to be resolved primarily under the Company’s administrative claims-handling agreements or on terms comparable to those set forth in those agreements;

| c) | the incidence of serious asbestos-related disease cases and claiming patterns against the Company for such cases would not change materially, including claiming pattern changes driven by changes in the law, procedure, or expansion of judicial resources in jurisdictions where the Company settled Asbestos Claims;

| d) | the Company would be substantially able to defend itself successfully at trial and on appeal;

| e) | the number and timing of additional co-defendant bankruptcies would not change significantly the assets available to participate in the resolution of cases in which the Company is a defendant; and

| f) | co-defendants with substantial resources and assets would continue to participate significantly in the resolution of future Asbestos Claims.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company concluded that an accrual in the amount of $486 million was required under applicable accounting standards. This amount was not discounted for the time value of money. The Company’s comprehensive legal review resulted in a charge of $35 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. As previously disclosed, the Company anticipated that adjustments to its asbestos-related accruals were possible given the inherent uncertainties involved in asbestos litigation. In the fourth quarter of 2019, this charge was primarily due to an increase in the estimated average disposition cost per claim (including related legal costs), driven primarily by a changing litigation environment more favorable to plaintiffs, and a decrease in the estimated number of claims likely to be asserted against the Company in the future that was less than the decrease expected by the Company.

Other Matters

In February 2021, severe weather conditions swept across the southern United States, curtailing access to natural gas and electricity for several of the Company’s facilities. While the situation was most acute in Texas, access to natural gas in Mexico was also significantly impacted as Texas supplies natural gas to the country. The Company was notified by energy providers in both the United States and Mexico that it may be assessed surcharges for usage or excess usage of electricity and natural gas during that period. Although most of these surcharges had not yet been formally assessed as of the first quarter of 2021, the Company believed that these costs were probable and reasonably estimable and therefore

21

had accrued approximately $20 million as of March 31, 2021, which was based on the best information available at that time.

Subsequent to March 31, 2021, the Company has paid or agreed to pay approximately $3 million of the energy surcharges to certain providers. The Company was notified by certain providers that approximately $6 million of the potential surcharges would not be assessed and therefore the related accruals were reversed to earnings. At September 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $11 million accrued for this matter.

​

In the second quarter of 2021, the Company recorded a $69 million gain based on a favorable court ruling in Brazil, which will allow the Company to recover indirect taxes paid in previous years. This gain was recorded to Other income (expense), net on the Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations, as well as $28 million of income tax expense that was recognized as a discrete item in the second quarter of 2021.

​

Other litigation is pending against the Company, in some cases involving ordinary and routine claims incidental to the business of the Company and in others presenting allegations that are non-routine and involve compensatory, punitive or treble damage claims as well as other types of relief. The Company records a liability for such matters when it is both probable that the liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Recorded amounts are reviewed and adjusted to reflect changes in the factors upon which the estimates are based, including additional information, negotiations, settlements and other events.

15. Supplemental Cash Flow Information

Income taxes paid in cash were as follows:

​

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | Nine months ended September 30, | ​
​ |  | 2021 |  | 2020 |
U.S. | ​ | $ | 6 | ​ | $ | 1 | ​
Non-U.S. | ​ |  | 58 | ​ |  | 53 | ​
Total income taxes paid in cash | ​ | $ | 64 | ​ | $ | 54 | ​

​

Interest paid, including note repurchase premiums, in cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $144 million and $196 million, respectively. Cash interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 included $41 million for note repurchase premiums.

The Company uses various factoring programs to sell certain receivables to financial institutions as part of managing its cash flows. At September 30, 2021, December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, the amount of receivables sold by the Company was $416 million, $436 million and $426 million, respectively. These amounts included $189 million, $176 million and $188 million at September 30, 2021, December 31, 2020, and September 30, 2020, respectively, for trade receivable amounts factored under supply chain financing programs linked to commercial arrangements with key customers. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s use of its factoring programs resulted in decreases to cash from operating activities of $20 million and $113 million, respectively.
​

16. New Accounting Pronouncement

​

Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting - In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” which allows for elective contract modification guidance for contracts or other transactions that reference LIBOR or a

27

reference rate that is expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform. To date, no significant contracts that reference LIBOR have been modified by the Company. The Company adopted ASU No. 2020-04 effective July 1, 2020. The adoption of this ASU had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, results of operations or cash flows.

​

17. COVID-19 Impacts

​

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures. The Company is actively monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which negatively impacted its business in 2020 and, to a lesser extent, the first nine months of 2021 and may negatively impact its business and results of operations in the future.

​

The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates particularly as it relates to estimates reliant on forecasts and other assumptions reasonably available to the Company and the uncertain future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic disruptions. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic disruptions impact the Company’s business and financial results will depend on future developments including, but not limited to, the continued spread, duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic; the occurrence, spread, duration and severity of any subsequent wave or waves of outbreaks after the initial outbreak has subsided; the actions taken by the U.S. and foreign governments to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, address its impact or respond to the reduction in global and local economic activity; the occurrence, duration and severity of a global, regional or national recession, depression or other sustained adverse market event; the impact of the developments described above on its customers and suppliers; and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. The accounting matters assessed included, but were not limited to:

​

• allowance for doubtful accounts and credit losses;

​

• carrying value of inventory; and

​

• the carrying value of goodwill and other long-lived assets.

​

There was not a material impact to the above estimates in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 or September 30, 2020. The Company’s future assessment of the magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as other factors, could result in material changes to the estimates and material impacts to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in future reporting periods.

​

​

​

​

18. Divestitures

​

On July 31, 2020, the Company completed the sale of its ANZ businesses to Visy, an unaffiliated

company. Gross proceeds approximated AUD $947 million (including a related sale-leaseback agreement which

approximated AUD $214 million), or approximately USD $677 million. Approximately 95% of those proceeds

were received at the time of closing, and the remaining balance of approximately $58 million was received in the first quarter of 2021. In 2020, the Company recognized a net gain (including costs directly attributable to the sale of ANZ and subject to post-closing adjustments) on the divestiture of approximately $275 million, which was reported on the Other income (expense), net line in the Consolidated Results of Operations. In addition, at closing, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into certain ancillary agreements with Visy and the ANZ businesses in respect of the provision of certain transitional and technical services to the ANZ businesses.

​

In January 2021, the Company completed the sale of its plant in Argentina. Gross proceeds are approximately $10 million, and the gain on the sale was not material.

28

​

19. Subsequent Event

​

On October 25, 2021, the Company announced that it had entered into a binding commitment to sell its Le Parfait brand and business to a subsidiary of Berlin Packaging L.L.C., a global packaging supplier. Le Parfait is a French jar brand sold in more than 20 countries. The proposed sale is expected to generate gross proceeds of approximately €72 million, which will be redeployed to help fund expansion initiatives, such as the Company’s MAGMA innovation. O-I expects to close around year end 2021, subject to the works council consultation and other customary closing conditions. The proposed transaction between O-I and Berlin Packaging L.L.C. also includes a long-term supply arrangement to manufacture Le Parfait jars from O-I plants in France and Spain.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The Company’s measure of profit for its reportable segments is segment operating profit, which consists of consolidated earnings (loss) before interest income, interest expense, and provision (benefit) for income taxes and excludes amounts related to certain items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations as well as certain retained corporate costs. The segment data presented below is prepared in accordance with general accounting principles for segment reporting. The lines titled “reportable segment totals” in both net sales and segment operating profit, however, are non-GAAP measures when presented outside of the financial statement footnotes. Management has included reportable segment totals below to facilitate the discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations and believes this information allows the Board of Directors, management, investors and analysts to better understand the Company’s financial performance. The Company’s management uses segment operating profit, in combination with net sales and selected cash flow information, to evaluate performance and to allocate resources. Segment operating profit is not, however, intended as an alternative measure of operating results as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized COVID-19 as a pandemic, and it continues to impact the United States and other countries across the world. To limit the spread of COVID-19, governments have taken various actions, including the issuance of stay-at-home orders and social distancing guidelines. As a result, many businesses have adjusted, reduced or suspended operating activities, either due to requirements under government orders or as a result of a reduction in demand for many products from direct or ultimate customers. Fortunately, the manufacture of glass containers has been largely viewed as essential to the important food and beverage value chain in the countries in which the Company operates. However, the Company is still impacted by broader supply chain issues and, in some cases, certain end use categories that it serves are not deemed essential. While the Company’s plants continued to operate as essential businesses, some plants suspended operations or cut back on shifts for a portion of 2020 due to government actions to address COVID-19. Additional suspensions and cutbacks may occur as the impacts from COVID-19 and related responses continue to develop.

The following discussion describes the Company’s consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the Company’s shipment and production levels in 2020 and, to a lesser extent, the first nine months of 2021. The Company is actively monitoring the continued impact of the pandemic, which could negatively impact its business, results of operations, cash flows and financial position beyond the third quarter of 2021.

On July 31, 2020, the Company completed the sale of its Australia and New Zealand (“ANZ”) businesses, which comprised the majority of the Asia Pacific region (approximately 85% of net sales for the full year 2019), to Visy Industries Holdings Pty Ltd. After the sale of the ANZ businesses, the remaining businesses in the Asia Pacific region do not meet the criteria of an individually reportable segment. For the 2020 results presented below, the results for the Asia Pacific reportable segment reflect only the results of the ANZ businesses. The sales and operating results of the other businesses that historically comprised the Asia Pacific segment, and that have been retained by the Company, have been reclassified to Other sales and Retained corporate costs and other, respectively.

Financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 regarding the Company’s reportable segments is as follows (dollars in millions):

Executive Overview — Quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020

Net sales for the third quarter of 2021 were $7 million lower, or less than 1%, than the third quarter of the prior year, primarily due to the sale of the Company’s ANZ businesses on July 31, 2020 and the sale of the Company’s plant in Argentina in January 2021. Excluding these divestitures, shipments were slightly lower than the prior year quarter. Net sales in the third quarter of 2021 were positively impacted by the favorable effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and higher prices.

Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes were $249 million lower in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year quarter. This decrease was primarily due to a $280 million gain on the sale of the ANZ businesses in the third quarter of 2020 that did not reoccur in the third quarter of 2021, partially offset by higher segment operating profit and lower net interest expense in the third quarter of 2021 than the prior year quarter. Segment operating profit for reportable segments for the third quarter of 2021 was $39 million higher than the third quarter of the prior year. The increase was largely due to higher production levels, as well as strong operating performance and the benefit of margin expansion initiatives.

Net interest expense for the third quarter of 2021 decreased by $11 million compared to the third quarter of 2020, primarily due to lower refinancing fees and charges and lower debt levels in 2021. Net interest expense in the third quarter of 2020 included $6 million for note repurchase premiums, third-party fees and the write-off of deferred finance fees that related to debt that was repaid prior to its maturity.

For the third quarter of 2021, the Company recorded earnings from continuing operations attributable to the Company of $78 million, or $0.48 per share (diluted), compared to $328 million, or $2.06 per share (diluted) in the third quarter of 2020. As discussed below, earnings in both periods included items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations. These items decreased earnings from continuing operations attributable to the Company by $16 million, or $0.10 per share (diluted), in the third quarter of 2021 and increased earnings from

continuing operations attributable to the Company by $263 million, or $1.65 per share (diluted), in the third quarter of 2020.

Results of Operations — Third Quarter of 2021 Compared with Third Quarter of 2020

Net Sales

The Company’s net sales in the third quarter of 2021 were $1,609 million compared with $1,616 million for the third quarter of 2020, a decrease of $7 million, or less than 1%. Total glass container shipments, in tons, were down approximately 4% in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to the July 2020 sale of the Company’s ANZ businesses and the January 2021 sale of the Company’s plant in Argentina, which together reduced net sales by approximately $59 million compared to the prior year quarter. Excluding the divested businesses, glass container shipments decreased approximately 1%, and this impacted net sales by approximately $16 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. Favorable foreign currency exchange rates increased net sales by $15 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year quarter, driven by the Mexican peso and the Brazilian real strengthening against the U.S. dollar. Higher selling prices increased net sales by $57 million in the quarter. Other net sales were approximately $4 million lower in the third quarter of 2021 than the same period in the prior year driven by lower machine parts sales to third parties.

​

The change in net sales of reportable segments can be summarized as follows (dollars in millions):

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Reportable segment net sales - 2020 |  | ​ | ​ |  | $ | 1,583 |

​

Americas: Net sales in the Americas in the third quarter of 2021 were $925 million compared to $887 million for the third quarter of 2020, an increase of $38 million, or approximately 4%. Total glass container shipments in the region were down approximately 4% in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year quarter, driven by choppy demand patterns and mix management from lower margin categories given tight inventory conditions and ongoing supply chain challenges, as well as due to the divestiture of a plant in Argentina in January 2021. The divestiture in Argentina reduced net sales by approximately $7 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. Excluding the divestiture, glass container shipments were down approximately 3% in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, which decreased net sales by approximately $24 million. The favorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes increased net sales by $16 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 as the Mexican peso and the Brazilian real strengthened compared to the U.S. dollar. Higher selling prices in the region increased net sales by $53 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.

Europe: Net sales in Europe in the third quarter of 2021 were $655 million compared to $644 million for the third quarter of 2020, an increase of $11 million, or approximately 2%. Glass container shipments in the third quarter of 2021 were up approximately 2% compared to the third quarter of 2020, resulting in $8 million of higher net sales, primarily driven by higher shipments to alcoholic beverage (primarily wine) and non-alcoholic beverage customers as the impacts from COVID-19 have significantly improved. Unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates decreased the region’s net sales by approximately $1 million in the third quarter of 2021 as the Euro slightly weakened in relation to the U.S. dollar. Higher selling prices in Europe increased net sales by $4 million in the third quarter of 2021.

Asia Pacific: Net sales in Asia Pacific in the third quarter of 2021 were $0 compared to $52 million for the third quarter of 2020, a decrease of $52 million, due to the sale of the ANZ businesses in the third quarter of 2020.

Earnings from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes and Segment Operating Profit

Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes were $127 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $376 million in the third quarter of 2020, a decrease of $249 million or 66%. This decrease was largely due to the $280 million gain on the sale of the ANZ businesses in the third quarter of 2020 that did not reoccur in the third quarter of 2021, partially offset by higher segment operating profit and lower net interest expense than the prior year quarter

Segment operating profit of the reportable segments includes an allocation of some corporate expenses based on a percentage of sales and direct billings based on the costs of specific services provided. Unallocated corporate expenses and certain other expenses not directly related to the reportable segments’ operations are included in Retained corporate costs and other. For further information, see Segment Information included in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Segment operating profit of reportable segments in the third quarter of 2021 was $243 million, compared to $204 million for the third quarter of 2020, an increase of $39 million, or approximately 19%. This increase was largely due to lower operating costs driven by higher production levels, strong operating performance and the benefit of margin expansion initiatives.

​

The change in segment operating profit of reportable segments can be summarized as follows (dollars in millions):

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Reportable segment operating profit - 2020 |  | ​ | ​ |  | $ | 204 |

Reportable segment operating profit - 2021 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 243 | ​

​

Americas: Segment operating profit in the Americas in the third quarter of 2021 was $133 million compared to $113 million in the third quarter of 2020, an increase of $20 million, or 18%. The impact of lower shipments discussed above, excluding the impact of the divestiture of the plant in Argentina, decreased segment operating profit by $6 million. Higher net selling prices (net of cost inflation) resulted in a net $15 million increase to segment operating profit in the current year quarter.

Operating costs in the Americas in the third quarter of 2021 were $10 million lower than the same period in the prior year, which improved segment operating profit. Operating costs benefited from higher production levels than the prior year quarter as the impacts from COVID-19 have significantly improved, as well as benefits from the Company’s margin expansion cost initiatives. The divestiture of the plant in Argentina improved segment operating profit by approximately $1 million in the third quarter.

Europe: Segment operating profit in Europe in the third quarter of 2021 was $110 million compared to $88 million in the third quarter of 2020, an increase of $22 million, or 25%. The impact of higher shipments discussed above increased segment operating profit by $3 million. Operating costs in the third quarter of 2021 were approximately $35 million favorable to the same period in the prior year reflecting higher production levels as the impacts from COVID-19 have significantly improved, as well as benefits from the Company’s margin expansion cost initiatives. Lower net selling prices (net of cost inflation) decreased segment operating profit by $15 million in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. The unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes decreased segment operating profit by $1 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year quarter.

Asia Pacific: Segment operating profit in Asia Pacific in the third quarter of 2021 was $0 compared to $3 million in the third quarter of 2020, a decrease of $3 million, due to the sale of the ANZ businesses in the third quarter of 2020.

​

Interest Expense, Net

33

Net interest expense for the third quarter of 2021 was $50 million compared to $61 million for the third quarter of 2020. This decrease was primarily due to lower refinancing fees and charges and lower debt levels in 2021. Net interest expense in the third quarter of 2020 included $6 million for note repurchase premiums, third-party fees and the write-off of deferred finance fees that related to debt that was repaid prior to its maturity.

​

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was 33.9% compared to 10.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2021 was higher than the third quarter of 2020 primarily due to the nonoccurrence of the gain on the sale of ANZ, which was recorded as non-taxable in the third quarter of 2020, as well as to a change in geographic mix of earnings.

​

Earnings from Continuing Operations Attributable to the Company

For the third quarter of 2021, the Company recorded earnings from continuing operations attributable to the Company of $78 million, or $0.48 per share (diluted), compared to $328 million, or $2.06 per share (diluted), in the third quarter of 2020. Earnings in 2021 and 2020 included items that management considered not representative of ongoing operations as set forth in the following table (dollars in millions):

Executive Overview — Nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020

​

Net sales for the first nine months of 2021 were $175 million, or approximately 4%, higher than the same period in the prior year primarily due to stronger shipments than the prior year period, which was more significantly impacted by COVID-19, partially offset by the sale of the Company’s ANZ businesses in 2020, the sale of the Company’s plant in Argentina in January 2021 and the impact of severe weather in the southern United States in February 2021. Net sales were also positively impacted by the favorable effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and higher prices.

​

Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes were $79 million lower in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to the $280 million gain on the sale of the ANZ businesses in 2020 that did not reoccur in 2021 and a higher Paddock-related charge in the current year period, partially offset by higher segment operating profit, a gain recorded on a Brazilian indirect tax credit in the second quarter of 2021, lower restructuring charges and lower interest expense than the prior year period. Segment operating profit for reportable segments for the first nine months of 2021 was $172 million higher than the same period in the prior year, primarily due to higher sales and production levels, as well as strong operating performance and the benefit of margin expansion initiatives.

​

On April 26, 2021, the Company announced that its subsidiary, Paddock, had reached an agreement in principle to accept the terms of a mediator’s proposal regarding a consensual plan of reorganization in Paddock’s Chapter 11

34

bankruptcy case. The agreement in principle provides for total consideration of $610 million to fund a trust established under section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code on the effective date of a plan of reorganization, which is subject to definitive documentation and satisfaction of certain conditions. The Company recorded a charge of $154 million related to its potential liability under the Paddock support agreement during the first fiscal quarter of 2021 primarily related to an increase to Paddock’s asbestos reserve estimate in consideration for the channeling injunction to be included in the Plan protecting O-I Glass and its affiliates from Asbestos Claims.

Net interest expense for the first nine months of 2021 decreased $59 million compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to lower refinancing fees and charges and lower debt levels in 2021.

For the first nine months of 2021, the Company recorded earnings from continuing operations attributable to the Company of $99 million, or $0.61 per share (diluted), compared to $278 million, or $1.76 per share (diluted), in the first nine months of 2020. As discussed below, earnings in both periods included items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations. These items decreased earnings attributable to the Company by $138 million, or $0.86 per share (diluted), in the first nine months of 2021 and increased earnings attributable to the Company by $147 million, or $0.94 per share (diluted), in the first nine months of 2020.

Results of Operations — First nine months of 2021 compared with first nine months of 2020

Net Sales

The Company’s net sales in the first nine months of 2021 were $4,770 million compared with $4,595 million for the first nine months of 2020, an increase of $175 million, or approximately 4%. Total glass container shipments, in tons, were down approximately 1% in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to the sale of the Company’s ANZ businesses on July 31, 2020 and the sale of the Company’s plant in Argentina in January 2021, which together decreased sales by approximately $297 million in the current period. Excluding the divested businesses, glass container shipments increased approximately 5%, or approximately $249 million, in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 which were more significantly impacted by COVID-19. Favorable foreign currency exchange rates increased net sales by $129 million in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the prior year period, driven by the strengthening of the Euro, Mexican peso and the Colombian peso compared to the U.S. dollar. Higher selling prices increased net sales by $112 million in the first nine months of 2021. Other sales were approximately $18 million lower in the first nine months of 2021 than the same period in the prior year driven by lower machine parts sales to third parties.

The change in net sales of reportable segments can be summarized as follows (dollars in millions):

​

Americas: Net sales in the Americas in the first nine months of 2021 were $2,652 million compared to $2,442 million for the first nine months of 2020, an increase of $210 million, or approximately 9%. Total glass container shipments in the region were up approximately 2.5% in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to stronger shipments compared to the same period in the prior year, which was more significantly impacted from COVID-19. The impact of severe weather that affected the southern United States in February 2021 and the divestiture of a plant in Argentina in January 2021 negatively impacted sales in the first nine months of 2021. Excluding the divestiture, glass container shipments were up approximately 3.5% in the first nine months of 2021. Higher shipments excluding the divestiture increased net sales by approximately $93 million in the first nine months of 2021, partially offset by the divestiture in Argentina which reduced net sales by approximately $16 million. The favorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes increased net sales by $31 million in the first nine months of 2021 compared to 2020 as the Mexican peso and the Colombian peso strengthened in relation to the U.S. dollar. Higher selling prices in the region increased net sales by $102 million in the first nine months of 2021.

35

Europe: Net sales in Europe in the first nine months of 2021 were $2,039 million compared to $1,775 million for the first nine months of 2020, an increase of $264 million, or approximately 15%. Glass container shipments in the first nine months of 2021 were up approximately 8% compared to the first nine months of 2020, which was more significantly impacted from COVID-19, and this resulted in approximately $156 million of higher net sales. Favorable foreign currency exchange rates increased the region’s net sales by approximately $98 million in the first nine months of 2021 as the Euro strengthened in relation to the U.S. dollar. Higher selling prices in Europe increased net sales by $10 million in the first nine months of 2021.

Asia Pacific: Net sales in Asia Pacific in the first nine months of 2021 were $0 compared to $281 million for the first nine months of 2020, a decrease of $281 million, due to the sale of the ANZ businesses in the third quarter of 2020.

​

Earnings from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes and Segment Operating Profit

Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes were $260 million in the first nine months of 2021 compared to $339 million in the first nine months of 2020, a decrease of $79 million, or approximately 23%. This decrease was primarily due to the $280 million gain on the sale of the ANZ businesses in 2020 that did not reoccur in 2021 and a higher Paddock-related charge in the current year period, partially offset by higher segment operating profit, a gain recorded on a Brazilian indirect tax credit in the second quarter of 2021, lower restructuring charges and lower interest expense than the prior year period.

Segment operating profit of the reportable segments includes an allocation of some corporate expenses based on a percentage of sales and direct billings based on the costs of specific services provided. Unallocated corporate expenses and certain other expenses not directly related to the reportable segments’ operations are included in Retained corporate costs and other. For further information, see Segment Information included in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Segment operating profit of reportable segments in the first nine months of 2021 was $650 million, compared to $478 million for the first nine months of 2020, an increase of $172 million, or approximately 36%. This increase was primarily due to higher sales and lower operating costs driven by higher production levels, strong operating performance and the benefit of margin expansion initiatives.

​

The change in segment operating profit of reportable segments can be summarized as follows (dollars in millions):

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Reportable segment operating profit - 2020 |  | ​ |  |  | $ | 478
Net price (net of cost inflation) | ​ | $ | (26) | ​ | ​ | ​

Reportable segment operating profit - 2021 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 650

​

Americas: Segment operating profit in the Americas in the first nine months of 2021 was $357 million compared to $268 million in the same period of 2020, an increase of $89 million, or 33%. The impact of higher sales excluding the divestiture, as discussed above, increased segment operating profit by $24 million. Cost inflation exceeded selling prices resulting in a net $4 million decrease to segment operating profit in the current year period.

Operating costs in the first nine months of 2021 were $64 million lower than the same period in the prior year, which improved segment operating profit. Included within these operating costs were benefits from the region’s margin expansion initiatives and higher production volumes, which more than offset the significant impact of severe weather that swept across the southern United States in February of 2021 and resulted in production downtime, unplanned repairs and higher outbound freight costs. The effects of foreign currency exchange rates increased segment operating profit by $2 million in the current year period.

36

Included in the above discussion of the factors impacting the region’s results, the Company estimates that segment operating profit in the first nine months in the Americas was negatively impacted by approximately $46 million from the severe weather that occurred in February of 2021, which includes surcharges for usage or excess usage of electricity and natural gas during the period of severe weather (see Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), as well as the estimated impacts of higher energy costs, lost production downtime, lost sales, and the cost of incremental repairs. The divestiture of the plant in Argentina improved segment operating profit by approximately $3 million in the first nine months of 2021. Also, the region’s closure of a plant in the second quarter of 2020 did not have a material impact on its profitability in 2021, and significant savings are not expected in future quarters, but the closure is expected to avoid anticipated losses from this plant in the future. The outcome of this plant closure is in-line with management’s expectations.

Europe: Segment operating profit in Europe in the first nine months of 2021 was $293 million compared to $191 million in the same period of 2020, an increase of $102 million, or 53%. The impact of higher shipments discussed above increased segment operating profit by $37 million. The effects of foreign currency exchange rates increased segment operating profit by $9 million in the current year period. Higher production volumes, benefits from margin expansion initiatives and cost control measures reduced the region’s operating costs and increased segment operating profit by approximately $78 million in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year. Lower net selling prices (net of cost inflation) decreased segment operating profit by $22 million in the current period compared to the prior year period.

Asia Pacific: Segment operating profit in Asia Pacific in the first nine month of 2021 was $0 compared to $19 million in the first nine months of 2020, a decrease of $19 million, due to the sale of the ANZ businesses in the third quarter of 2020.

​

Interest Expense, Net

Net interest expense for the first nine months of 2021 was $153 million compared to $212 million for the same period of 2020. This decrease was primarily due to lower refinancing fees and charges and lower debt levels in 2021. Net interest expense in the first nine months of 2020 included $44 million for note repurchase premiums, third-party fees and the write-off of deferred finance fees that related to debt that was repaid prior to its maturity.

​

Provision for Income Taxes

​

The Company’s effective tax rate from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was 55.4% compared to 14.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2021 differed from the first nine months of 2020 due to the charge related to the Paddock support agreement liability recorded without a tax benefit in the first quarter of 2021, the nonoccurrence of the gain on the sale of ANZ, which was recorded as non-taxable in the third quarter of 2020, as well as to a change in geographic mix of earnings.

​

Earnings from Continuing Operations Attributable to the Company

For the first nine months of 2021, the Company recorded earnings from continuing operations attributable to the Company of $99 million, or $0.61 per share (diluted), compared to $278 million, or $1.76 per share (diluted), in the first nine months of 2020. Earnings in the first nine months of 2021 and 2020 included items that management considered not representative of ongoing operations as set forth in the following table (dollars in millions):

Forward Looking Operational and Financial Impacts from the COVID-19 Pandemic

​

| ● | The Company expects full year 2021 sales shipment growth to be at least 4% (in tons) compared to 2020 (excluding the impact of divestitures), representing a partial volume recovery to 2019 levels. Likewise, the Company expects continued benefits from its initiatives to expand margins.

​

| ● | The Company will continue to focus on long-term value creation, including advancing the MAGMA deployment. Also, the Company will continue to advance the Paddock Chapter 11 process to document and finalize the terms of a plan of reorganization pursuant to section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, consistent with the agreement in principle announced on April 26, 2021, which is expected to achieve a final, certain and equitable resolution of its legacy asbestos-related claims liabilities.

​

| ● | Cash provided by continuing operating activities is expected to approximate $660 million in 2021. This outlook assumes the continued suspension of all asbestos-related claims payments, pending confirmation and effectiveness of a plan of reorganization for Paddock. In addition, capital expenditures in 2021 are expected to approximate $400 million.

| ● | The Company will continue to actively monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent to which the Company’s operations will be impacted by the pandemic will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the outbreak and actions by government authorities to contain the outbreak or treat its impact, among other things.

Items Excluded from Reportable Segment Totals

​

Retained Corporate Costs and Other

After the sale of the ANZ businesses, the remaining businesses in the Asia Pacific region do not meet the criteria of an individually reportable segment. Starting on August 1, 2020 and for the historical periods, the operating results of the other businesses that were historically included in the Asia Pacific segment and that have been retained by the Company have been reclassified to Retained corporate costs and other. The results of these entities were not significant for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 or September 30, 2020.

Retained corporate costs and other for the third quarter of 2021 were $49 million compared to $35 million in the third quarter of 2020 and were $126 million for the first nine months of 2021 compared to $98 million for the first nine months of 2020. These costs were higher in the 2021 periods primarily due to additional research and development

38

expenses related to MAGMA, higher marketing expenses for the Company’s glass advocacy campaign and higher management incentive expenses.

​

Gain on Sale of the ANZ Businesses

On July 31, 2020, the Company completed the sale of its ANZ businesses, which comprised the majority of its businesses in the Asia Pacific region (approximately 85% of net sales in that region for the full year 2019), to Visy. As a result, the Company recorded a net gain (including costs directly attributable to the sale of ANZ) of approximately $280 million in the third quarter of 2020. This gain was recorded to Other income (expense), net on the Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations.

​

Gain on Brazil Indirect Tax Credit

In the second quarter of 2021, the Company recorded a $69 million gain based on a favorable court ruling in Brazil that will allow the Company to recover indirect taxes paid in previous years. This gain was recorded to Other income (expense), net on the Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations.

​

Restructuring, Asset Impairment and Other Charges

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company implemented several discrete restructuring initiatives and recorded restructuring and other charges of $12 million and $21 million, respectively. These charges consisted of employee costs, such as severance and benefit-related costs and other exit costs (including related consulting costs attributed to restructuring of managed services activities) at a number of the Company’s businesses in the Americas and Europe. The Company expects that the majority of the remaining cash expenditures related to the accrued employee and other exit costs will be paid out over the next several years.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded charges totaling $9 million and $80 million, respectively, for restructuring, asset impairment and other charges. These charges reflect employee costs, such as severance, benefit-related costs, asset impairment and other exit costs primarily related to a reduction-in-force program for certain salaried employees and a plant closure in the Americas. The Company expects that the majority of the remaining cash expenditures related to the accrued employee and other exit costs will be paid out over the next several years.

​

Charge for Paddock Support Agreement Liability

On April 26, 2021, the Company announced that its subsidiary, Paddock, had reached an agreement in principle to accept the terms of a mediator’s proposal regarding a consensual plan of reorganization in Paddock’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy case. The agreement in principle provides for total consideration of $610 million to fund a trust under section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code on the effective date of a plan of reorganization, which is subject to definitive documentation and satisfaction of certain conditions. The Company has recorded a charge of $154 million related to its potential liability under the Paddock support agreement during the first fiscal quarter of 2021, primarily related to an increase to Paddock’s asbestos reserve estimate in consideration for the channeling injunction to be included in the Plan protecting O-I Glass and its affiliates from Asbestos Claims.

See Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

​

Charge for Deconsolidation of Paddock

Following its Chapter 11 filing in January 2020, the activities of Paddock are now subject to review and oversight by the bankruptcy court. As a result, the Company no longer has exclusive control over Paddock’s activities during the bankruptcy proceedings. Therefore, Paddock was deconsolidated as of the Petition Date, and its assets and liabilities, which primarily included $47 million of cash, the legacy asbestos-related liabilities, as well as certain other assets and liabilities, were derecognized from the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Simultaneously, the Company recognized a liability related to the support agreement of $471 million, based on the accrual required under applicable accounting standards. Taken together, these transactions resulted in a loss of approximately $14 million, which was recorded as a charge in the first quarter of 2020.

​

39

See Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
​

Pension Settlement Charges

For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company settled a portion of its pension obligations and recorded approximately $5 million of pension settlement charges. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded charges totaling $0 and $8 million, respectively, of pension settlement charges.

​

Strategic Transaction Costs

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded charges totaling $3 million and $7 million, respectively, for strategic transaction costs, which relate to activities that are aimed at exploring options to maximize investor value, focused on aligning the Company’s business with demand trends, improving the Company’s operating efficiency, cost structure and working capital management.
​

Discontinued Operations

On December 6, 2018, an ad hoc committee for the World Bank’s International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (“ICSID”) rejected the request by the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (“Venezuela”) to annul the award issued by an ICSID tribunal in favor of OI European Group B.V. (“OIEG”) related to the 2010 expropriation of OIEG’s majority interest in two plants in Venezuela (the “Award”). The annulment proceeding with respect to the Award is now concluded.

On July 31, 2017, OIEG sold its right, title and interest in amounts due under the Award to an Ireland-domiciled investment fund. Under the terms of the sale, OIEG received a payment, in cash, at closing equal to $115 million (the “Cash Payment”). OIEG may also receive additional payments in the future (“Deferred Amounts”) calculated based on the total compensation that is received from Venezuela as a result of collection efforts or as settlement of the Award with Venezuela. OIEG’s right to receive any Deferred Amounts is subject to the limitations described below.

OIEG’s interest in any amounts received in the future from Venezuela in respect of the Award is limited to a percentage of such recovery after taking into account reimbursement of the Cash Payment to the purchaser and reimbursement of legal fees and expenses incurred by the Company and the purchaser. OIEG’s percentage of such recovery will also be reduced over time. Because the Award has yet to be satisfied and the ability to successfully enforce the Award in countries that are party to the ICSID Convention is subject to significant challenges, the Company is unable to reasonably predict the amount of recoveries from the Award, if any, to which the Company may be entitled in the future. Any future amounts that the Company may receive from the Award are highly speculative and the timing of any such future payments, if any, is highly uncertain. As such, there can be no assurance that the Company will receive any future payments under the Award beyond the Cash Payment.

A separate arbitration involving two other subsidiaries of the Company -- Fabrica de Vidrios Los Andes, C.A. (“Favianca”), and Owens-Illinois de Venezuela, C.A. (“OIDV”) -- was initiated in 2012 to obtain compensation primarily for third-party minority shareholders’ lost interests in the two expropriated plants. However, on November 13, 2017, ICSID issued an award that dismissed this arbitration on jurisdiction grounds. In March 2018, OIDV and Favianca submitted to ICSID an application to annul the November 13, 2017 award; on November 22, 2019, OIDV and Favianca’s request to annul the award was rejected by an ICSID ad hoc committee. The two subsidiaries are evaluating potential next steps.

​

Capital Resources and Liquidity

​

On June 25, 2019, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries entered into a Senior Secured Credit Facility Agreement (as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Syndicated Facility Agreement dated as of December 13, 2019, and as further amended by that certain Amendment No. 2 to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Syndicated Facility Agreement dated as of December 19, 2019, the

40

“Agreement”), which amended and restated the previous credit agreement (the “Previous Agreement”). The proceeds from the Agreement were used to repay all outstanding amounts under the Previous Agreement.

The Agreement provides for up to $3.0 billion of borrowings pursuant to term loans and revolving credit facilities. The term loans mature, and the revolving credit facilities terminate, in June 2024. At September 30, 2021, the Agreement includes a $300 million revolving credit facility, a $1.2 billion multicurrency revolving credit facility, and a $1.5 billion term loan A facility ($1,068 million outstanding balance at September 30, 2021, net of debt issuance costs). At September 30, 2021, the Company had unused credit of $1,489 million available under the Agreement. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Agreement at September 30, 2021 was 1.58%.

The Agreement contains various covenants that restrict, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, the ability of the Company to incur certain indebtedness and liens, make certain investments, become liable under contingent obligations in certain defined instances only, make restricted payments, make certain asset sales within guidelines and limits, engage in certain affiliate transactions, participate in sale and leaseback financing arrangements, alter its fundamental business, and amend certain subordinated debt obligations.

The Agreement also contains one financial maintenance covenant, a Total Leverage Ratio (the “Leverage Ratio”), that requires the Company not to exceed a ratio of 5.0x calculated by dividing consolidated total debt, less cash and cash equivalents, by Consolidated EBITDA, with such Leverage Ratio decreasing to (a) 4.75x for the quarter ending September 30, 2021 and (b) 4.50x for the quarter ending December 31, 2021 and thereafter, as defined and described in the Agreement. The maximum Leverage Ratio is subject to an increase of 0.5x for (i) any fiscal quarter during which certain qualifying acquisitions (as specified in the Agreement) are consummated and (ii) the following three fiscal quarters, provided that the Leverage Ratio shall not exceed 5.0x. The Leverage Ratio could restrict the ability of the Company to undertake additional financing or acquisitions to the extent that such financing or acquisitions would cause the Leverage Ratio to exceed the specified maximum.

Failure to comply with these covenants and other customary restrictions could result in an event of default under the Agreement. In such an event, the Company could not request borrowings under the revolving facilities, and all amounts outstanding under the Agreement, together with accrued interest, could then be declared immediately due and payable. Upon the occurrence and for the duration of a payment event of default, an additional default interest rate equal to 2.0% per annum will apply to all overdue obligations under the Agreement. If an event of default occurs under the Agreement and the lenders cause all of the outstanding debt obligations under the Agreement to become due and payable, this would result in a default under the indentures governing the Company’s outstanding debt securities and could lead to an acceleration of obligations related to these debt securities. As of September 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and restrictions in the Agreement. In addition, the Company believes that it will remain in compliance and that its ability to borrow funds under the Agreement will not be adversely affected by the covenants and restrictions.

The Leverage Ratio also determines pricing under the Agreement. The interest rate on borrowings under the Agreement is, at the Company’s option, the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate, as defined in the Agreement, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is linked to the Leverage Ratio. The margins range from 1.00% to 1.50% for Eurocurrency Loans and from 0.00% to 0.50% for Base Rate Loans. In addition, a commitment fee is payable on the unused revolving credit facility commitments ranging from 0.20% to 0.30% per annum linked to the Leverage Ratio.

Obligations under the Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets, excluding real estate and certain other excluded assets, of certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and certain foreign subsidiaries. Such obligations are also secured by a pledge of intercompany debt and equity investments in certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and, in the case of foreign obligations, of stock of certain foreign subsidiaries. All obligations under the Agreement are guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company, and certain foreign obligations under the Agreement are guaranteed by certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company.

In May 2020, the Company issued $700 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes. The senior notes bear interest at a rate of 6.625% per annum and mature on May 13, 2027. The senior notes were issued via a private placement and are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. The net proceeds, after deducting debt

41

issuance costs, totaled approximately $690 million and were used to redeem the remaining $130 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 4.875% senior notes due 2021, approximately $419 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 5.00% senior notes due 2022 and approximately $105 million of other secured borrowings. The Company recorded approximately $38 million of additional interest charges for note repurchase premiums and write-off of unamortized finance fees related to these redemptions.

In August 2020, the Company redeemed the remaining $81 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 5.00% senior notes due 2022. The Company recorded approximately $6 million of additional interest charges for note repurchase premiums and write-off of unamortized finance fees related to this redemption.

In order to maintain a capital structure containing appropriate amounts of fixed and floating-rate debt, the Company has entered into a series of interest rate swap agreements. These interest rate swap agreements were accounted for as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges (see Note 5 for more information).

The Company assesses its capital raising and refinancing needs on an ongoing basis and may enter into additional credit facilities and seek to issue equity and/or debt securities in the domestic and international capital markets if market conditions are favorable. Also, depending on market conditions, the Company may elect to repurchase portions of its debt securities in the open market.

Cash Flows

Operating activities: Cash provided by continuing operating activities was $449 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $128 million provided by continuing operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2021 was primarily due to a lower use of cash from working capital and higher non-cash charges, which more than offset lower net earnings than in the same period in 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company has paid approximately $14 million toward restructuring activities compared to $32 million in the same period in the prior year. In the first nine months of both 2021 and 2020, all asbestos-related payments were stayed as a result of Paddock’s Chapter 11 filing in early January 2020. See Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on Paddock.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company has contributed approximately $33 million to its defined benefit pension plans, compared with $32 million in the same period in the prior year. The Company expects to contribute between $100 million and $175 million to its pension plans from the fourth quarter of 2021 through 2024.

Working capital was a use of cash of $139 million in the first nine months of 2021, compared to a use of cash of $402 million in the same period in 2020. The use of cash from working capital was lower in the first nine months of 2021, primarily due to lower accounts receivable and higher accounts payable. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s use of its accounts receivable factoring programs resulted in a decrease of $20 million and $113 million, respectively, to cash from operating activities. Excluding the impact of accounts receivable factoring, the Company’s days sales outstanding as of September 30, 2021 were comparable to September 30, 2020.

Investing activities: Cash utilized in investing activities was $202 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $151 million of cash provided from investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Capital spending for property, plant and equipment was $268 million during the first nine months of 2021, compared to $246 million in the same period in 2020. The Company estimates that its full year 2021 capital expenditures should be approximately $400 million. To accommodate expected future sales growth, the Company intends to increase its capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment to a total of approximately $1.95 billion during the three-year period beginning January 1, 2022 and ending December 31, 2024. This spending includes maintenance-related capital expenditures as well as approximately $680 million in capital expenditures to increase capacity in supply-constrained geographies and categories, including using the Company’s MAGMA technology. Based on the Company’s current investment plan, capital expenditures are expected to ramp up in 2022 to approximately $650 to $700 million, peak in 2023 and start to moderate in 2024.

On July 31, 2020, the Company completed the sale of its ANZ businesses to Visy. Cash proceeds, net of costs directly attributable to the sale of ANZ, of approximately $441 million were received in the third quarter of 2020, and

42

the remaining balance of $58 million was received by the Company in the first quarter of 2021. In addition and as discussed below, the Company received proceeds for a sale leaseback transaction executed in conjunction with the ANZ sale. Also, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, t he Company has received approximately $8 million from the sale of miscellaneous assets and other businesses, which included the sale of its plant in Argentina in the first quarter of 2021. The Company intends to complete approximately $575 million of additional divestitures of non-core assets and several sale leaseback transactions during the remainder of 2021 through 2024. The Company plans to use these proceeds to fund its increased capital expenditures and to reduce debt.

Following Paddock’s Chapter 11 filing in January 2020, the activities of Paddock are now subject to review and oversight by the bankruptcy court. As a result, the Company no longer has exclusive control over Paddock’s activities during the bankruptcy proceedings. Therefore, Paddock was deconsolidated, and its assets and liabilities were derecognized from the Company’s financial statements, which resulted in an investing outflow of $47 million in the Company’s first quarter of 2020 Condensed Consolidated Cash Flows. See Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Financing activities: Cash utilized in financing activities was $171 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $219 million of cash utilized in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in cash utilized in financing activities was primarily due to lower net borrowings in the first nine months of 2021. The Company normally increases borrowings in the first nine months of the year to service working capital needs. In 2021, borrowings for working capital were not as significant as in 2020, which resulted in a net reduction of borrowings compared to the prior year. The Company paid $50 million for finance fees related to financing activities in the first nine months of 2020, whereas no fees were paid in the same period in 2021. Also, the Company paid approximately $10 million and $8 million related to hedging activity in the first nine months of 2021 and 2020, respectively.

​

In addition, the Company received approximately $155 million in proceeds for a sale leaseback transaction in the third quarter of 2020 that was executed in conjunction with the ANZ sale.

​

In February 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $150 million anti-dilutive share repurchase program for the Company’s common stock that the Company intends to use to offset stock-based compensation provided to the Company’s directors, officers, and employees. This authorization supersedes and replaces any prior repurchase authorizations. Through the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company repurchased $30 million of shares of the Company’s common stock under this program. No share repurchases were made during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company paid $8 million in dividends in the first nine months of 2020 and did not pay any dividends in the first nine months of 2021. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company suspended its dividend after the first quarter of 2020 and has no plans to reinstate it at this time.

The Company anticipates that cash flows from its operations and from utilization of credit available under the Agreement will be sufficient to fund its operating and seasonal working capital needs, debt service and other obligations on a short-term (12 months) and long-term basis. However, as the Company cannot predict the duration or scope of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on its customers and suppliers. The negative financial impact to the Company’s results cannot be reasonably estimated but could be material. The Company is actively managing its business to maintain cash flow and it has significant liquidity. The Company believes that these factors will allow it to meet its anticipated funding requirements. The Company anticipates that cash flows in 2021 will continue to benefit from the operation of the automatic stay in Paddock’s Chapter 11 filing, which stays ongoing litigation and submission of claims outside the Bankruptcy Court and defers payment in connection with asbestos-related liabilities until a plan of reorganization is confirmed and becomes effective.

​
Critical Accounting Estimates

The Company’s analysis and discussion of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Estimates and assumptions are based on historical and other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances at the time the financial statements are issued. The results of these estimates may

43

form the basis of the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities and may not be readily apparent from other sources. Actual results, under conditions and circumstances different from those assumed, may differ from estimates.

The impact of, and any associated risks related to, estimates and assumptions are discussed within Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, as well as in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, if applicable, where estimates and assumptions affect the Company’s reported and expected financial results.

There have been no other material changes in critical accounting estimates at September 30, 2021 from those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

​

​

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

​

There have been no material changes in market risk at September 30, 2021 from those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

​

​
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Also, the Company has investments in certain unconsolidated entities. As the Company does not control or manage these entities, its disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those maintained with respect to its consolidated subsidiaries.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2021.

As required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to material affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Although the Company has modified its workplace practices globally due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in most of its administrative employees working remotely, this has not materially affected its internal control over financial reporting. The Company is continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 situation on its internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

​

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

​

SEC regulations require the Company to disclose certain information about environmental proceedings if the Company reasonably believes that such proceedings may result in monetary sanctions above a stated threshold. The Company uses a threshold of $1 million for purposes of determining whether disclosure of any such proceedings is required. On June 3, 2021, Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc. (“OBGC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, received a Notice of Civil Penalty Assessment and Order (the “Notice”) from the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (“ODEQ”) alleging that, with respect to operations at OBGC’s Portland, Oregon facility, OBGC has exceeded certain permitted air emission limits since April 22, 2020, exceeded permitted air opacity limits between April 23, 2020 and March 16, 2021, and failed to timely notify ODEQ of air emission exceedances that occurred on March 16, 2020 and April 23, 2020. The Notice assessed a penalty to OBGC of approximately $1.0 million and required that OBGC undertake corrective actions to address the alleged violations. OBGC appealed the Notice. On October 22, 2021, OBGC and ODEQ resolved the alleged violations and OBGC’s appeal. Under the terms of a mutual agreement and final order, OBGC agreed to pay an immaterial penalty, which was less than the assessed penalty of $1.0 million, and take certain corrective actions at the plant.

​

Except as discussed above, no such environmental proceedings were pending or contemplated as of September 30, 2021. For further information on legal proceedings, see Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, "Contingencies," that is included in Part I of this Quarterly Report and incorporated herein by reference.

​

​

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

​

Other than below, there have been no material changes in risk factors at September 30, 2021 from those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The resolution of asbestos claims pursuant to Paddock’s previously announced agreement-in-principle is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may prevent or delay implementation of the resolution of these claims on the terms set forth in such agreement-in-principle.

​

On April 26, 2021, the Company announced that its subsidiary, Paddock Enterprises LLC (“Paddock”) reached an agreement in principle to accept the terms of a mediator’s proposal regarding a consensual plan of reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code. The agreement in principle provides for total consideration of $610 million to fund a trust on the effective date of a plan of reorganization, subject to definitive documentation and satisfaction of certain conditions. The agreement in principle was reached with both the Future Claimants’ Representative and the Asbestos Claimants’ Committee, who agreed to support a plan of reorganization for Paddock that incorporates the settlement (the “Plan”). The Plan will require the approval by at least 75% of asbestos claimants voting on the Plan and be subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court and the District Court. If approved and consummated, the Plan would permanently resolve all current and future asbestos claims against Paddock, and would protect all of O-I Glass and its subsidiaries from those claims, under Section 524(g) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

​

The confirmation and consummation of the Plan, and accordingly the final resolution of asbestos claims against Paddock in accordance with the Plan, are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, which could have the effect of delaying or preventing the confirmation and consummation of the Plan, increasing the Company’s costs in connection with effecting the settlement and the consummation of the Plan or reducing the benefit related to the consummation of the Plan. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the Company cannot provide assurance that the Plan, as contemplated by the agreement in principle, will be consummated on the time schedule that the Company anticipates or at all, or if consummated that the Company will recognize all benefits from the consummation of the Plan that the Company anticipates. These risks and uncertainties include:

​

| ● | the risk that the parties to the settlement are unable to agree upon the final plan documents, including the Plan,

46

|  | to effectuate the settlement;

| ● | the risk that the Plan is not approved by a favorable vote of 75% of the holders of asbestos claims voting on the Plan;

| ● | the risk that the Plan is not approved by the Bankruptcy Court or the District Court and that orders so approving the Plan and issuing the protective injunctions do not become final; and

| ● | risks and uncertainties if any interested parties object to the Plan or appeal any order issued by the Bankruptcy Court or District Court approving the Plan, which objections and appeals, even if favorably resolved, may delay the consummation of the Plan and increase the Company’s costs in connection with the agreement-in-principle and related proceedings.

Information Technology-Failure or disruption of the Company’s information technology, or those of third parties, could have a material adverse effect on its business and the results of operations.

The Company employs information technology (“IT”) systems and networks to support the business and relies on them to operate its plants, to communicate with its employees, customers and suppliers, to store sensitive business information and intellectual property, and to report financial and operating results. As with any IT system, the Company’s IT system, or any third-party system on which the Company relies, could fail on its own accord or may be vulnerable to a variety of interruptions due to events, including, but not limited to, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, power outages, fire, sabotage, equipment failures, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and cyber-related attacks or computer crimes (e.g., ransomware or distributed denial-of-service attacks). In addition, the Company’s business continuity or disaster recovery plans may not effectively and timely resolve issues resulting from a cyberattack or other disruption. As a result of any of the foregoing types of events, the Company may suffer material adverse effects on its reputation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Cybersecurity and Data Privacy-Security breaches affecting the Company or its third-party service providers could disrupt the Company’s business operations, result in the loss of critical and confidential information, and have a material adverse effect on its business, reputation and results of operations.

The Company has been subject to cyberattacks in the past, including, but not limited to, phishing and malware incidents, and the Company expects cyberattacks to increase in number, frequency and sophistication going forward. Although prior cyberattacks have not been material, future attacks may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business operations, reputation and financial results. As the prevalence of cyberattacks continues to increase, the Company’s systems, and those of third parties, including service providers, may be subject to increased security threats, and the Company may incur additional costs to upgrade and maintain its security measures in place to prevent and detect such threats. The Company’s security measures may be unable to anticipate, identify, detect or prevent certain cyberattacks or security breaches, including due to the increasing use by attackers of tools and techniques that obfuscate or remove forensic evidence and that evade counter-measures, and any such incidents could result in transactional errors, business disruptions, loss of or damage to intellectual property, loss of customers and business opportunities, unauthorized access to or disclosure of confidential or personal information (which could cause a breach of applicable data protection legislation), litigation or regulatory investigations and fines, penalties or intervention, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensatory costs, and additional compliance costs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Any resulting costs or losses may not be covered by, or may exceed the coverage limits of, the Company’s cyber insurance.

The Company is increasingly reliant on third parties to provide software, support and management and a host of related and other services across an array of business and operational functions, such as human resources, sales, electronic communications, data storage, finance, risk management and compliance, among others. The security and privacy measures these third parties implement may not be sufficient to anticipate, identify, detect or prevent cyberattacks or security breaches that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. While the Company’s agreements with third-party service providers typically contain provisions that seek to eliminate or limit the Company’s exposure to liability for damages from a cyberattack, there can be no assurance of compliance with such provisions or that such provisions will withstand legal challenges or cover all or any such damages.

In addition, new global privacy rules are being enacted and existing ones are being updated and strengthened. These laws impose obligations on companies regarding the handling of personal data and provide certain individual privacy rights to persons whose data is stored or processed. Any failure to comply with these laws and regulatory standards could subject us to legal and reputational risk. For example, in May 2018, the European Union (EU) implemented the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that stipulates data protection and privacy regulations for all individuals within the EU and the European Economic Area (EEA). The Company has significant operations in the EEA and is subject to the GDPR. The GDPR imposes several stringent requirements for controllers and processors of personal data and could make it more difficult and/or more costly for the Company to use and share personal data, including placing obstacles on the transfer of personal data from Europe to the United States. In addition, the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”), which became effective on January 1, 2020, is similar in many respects to the GDPR but also includes a private right of action and potential statutory damages exposure for certain types of data breaches. Other states in the U.S. have also been proposing and enacting laws similar to the CCPA. Although the Company takes reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be subject to regulatory action, including fines, litigation, in the event of a statutory violation or security incident. To comply with the rules imposed by the GDPR, CCPA and other applicable data protection legislation, the Company may be required to put in place additional mechanisms which could adversely affect its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
