Net Sales

Increased to $1,397.20 million

Q4 2024 net sales reached $1,397.20 million, indicating improved top‐line performance relative to prior periods; this may be driven by higher demand and effective pricing strategies even as the company pursued cost and restructuring measures in previous periods. "

Gross Profit

Achieved $430.10 million

Gross profit of $430.10 million reflects strong revenue performance; however, compared to prior periods, margin compression likely arose from increased input costs and restructuring expenses that were not as pronounced previously. "

Operating Loss

$81.00 million loss (vs. prior operating income)

A switch from operating income to an $81.00 million loss is attributed to high overall costs and significant restructuring expenses incurred in Q4 2024, which contrast with a more favorable operating expense profile in previous periods. "

Net Loss

$157.70 million loss

Net loss widened to $157.70 million, driven partly by a considerable $87.80 million in interest and financing expenses; this deterioration compared to prior periods shows how elevated financing costs and restructuring outlays have negatively impacted bottom-line performance. "

Interest and Financing Expense

$87.80 million

Interest and financing expense increased to $87.80 million, reflecting the company’s higher leverage—likely due to new term debt or increased borrowing used to fund the restructuring—whereas previous periods recorded much lower financing costs. "

Income (Loss) Before Taxes

($168.80) million

Pre-tax earnings declined to ($168.80) million, a result of the cumulative impact of elevated operating expenses, higher financing charges, and restructuring costs compared to previous periods when these pressures were lower. "

Tax Benefit

($14.90) million benefit

A tax benefit of ($14.90) million in Q4 2024 contrasts with prior periods that had a tax expense, likely due to the utilization of loss carry-forwards or available tax credits offsetting taxable income from the period’s losses. "

Cash Flow

Net increase of $444.00 million

Cash flow improved significantly by $444.00 million in Q4 2024, driven by robust operating cash generation and tighter working capital management—an improvement over previous periods where cash flows were lower due to higher operational outlays and restructuring investments. " "

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Increased to $614.40 million

Enhanced liquidity is evident from the rise to $614.40 million in cash and cash equivalents, reflecting better cash flow performance and improved balance sheet management compared to earlier periods with relatively lower liquidity. " "

Total Assets

$11,194.50 million

Total assets reached $11,194.50 million in Q4 2024, showing a modest increase; while the company maintained a robust asset base through strategic investments and cash accumulation, the composition of these assets shifted (e.g., cash increased while property, plant, and equipment declined) compared to previous periods. "

Stockholders' Equity

$3,444.20 million

Stockholders’ Equity stood at $3,444.20 million, demonstrating a solid balance sheet position despite operational challenges; this figure reflects the impact of retained earnings, prior reinvestments, and capital structure adjustments, even as large dividend payments or net losses in earlier periods weighed on equity.
