- This plan is expected to reduce 2026 overhead as a percentage of sales by approximately 100 basis points, supporting the long-term operating margin goal of 12%-15%.
- The company updated its outlook, expecting general merchandise categories to be down 2%-3% this year, and international core sales declined 6% in Q3 2025, with Brazil down 25%. As a result, core sales and net sales guidance are expected to be toward the lower end of the previously announced range.
- Operating cash flow for 2026 is projected to be significantly stronger than the $250-$300 million guided for 2025, driven by reduced tariff cash impacts, improved cash conversion, and lower CapEx.

- For 2026, Newell Brands anticipates substantively better operating cash flow than the $250 million-$300 million guided for the current year, driven by lower tariff cash impacts, improved cash conversion, reduced cash taxes, and a decrease in CapEx from $250 million to $200 million.
