NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In millions, except per share and statistical data)
(Unaudited)


A.Statement of Information Furnished

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Crown Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”). The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Form 10-Q instructions. In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2023 and the results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and of its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The results reported in these consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. These results have been determined on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the application of which requires management’s utilization of estimates, and actual results may differ materially from the estimates utilized.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

B.Recent Accounting and Reporting Pronouncements

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new guidance which requires enhanced disclosures of supplier finance programs. The guidance requires buyers in a supplier finance program to disclose sufficient information about the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. The guidance became effective for the Company on January 1, 2023, except for the disclosure of rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023.

The Company has various supplier finance programs under which the Company agrees to pay banks the stated amount of confirmed invoices from its designated suppliers on the original maturity dates of the invoices. Suppliers, at their sole discretion, have the opportunity to sell their receivables due from the Company earlier than contracted payment terms. The Company or the banks may terminate the agreements upon at least 30 days' notice. The Company does not have assets pledged as collateral for supplier finance programs. The supplier invoices that have been confirmed as valid under the programs typically have payment terms of 150 days or less, consistent with the commercial terms and conditions as agreed upon with suppliers. The Company had $719 and $1,037 confirmed obligations outstanding under these supplier finance programs as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 included in Accounts Payable.

C.    Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash included in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statement of Cash Flows were as follows:

June 30, 2023December 31, 2022
Cash and cash equivalents$547 $550 
Restricted cash included in prepaid expenses and other current assets96 89 
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash$643 $639 

Amounts included in restricted cash primarily represent amounts required to be segregated by certain of the Company's receivables securitization agreements.

The Company possesses a security interest related to the supply agreement which was considered in the Company's allowance for credit losses.

In December 2021, the Company's Bowling Green plant sustained tornado damage, resulting in curtailment of operations. The Company resumed operations in March 2022. However, it continued to incur incremental costs, including freight and warehousing expenses, to meet customer demand as the plant returned to full operational capacity. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had an insurance receivable, within miscellaneous receivable, for incremental expenses incurred of $6 and $23, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company received insurance proceeds of $22 for incremental expenses and $1 for property damage.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, restructuring primarily included headcount reductions in the Company's European Beverage and Other segments.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, asset sales and impairments primarily related to a $113 gain on the sale of the Transit Packaging segment's Kiwiplan business. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, asset sales and impairments also included various land and building sales in the Company's Asia-Pacific segment which were closed as part of prior restructuring actions.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, restructuring included $29 of charges related to an overhead cost reduction program initiated by the Company's Transit Packaging segment. The Company made severance payments of $7 in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and had a remaining accrual of $10 related to this program.

At June 30, 2023, the Company had a restructuring accrual of $32, primarily related to the actions referenced above. The Company expects to pay these amounts over the next twelve months. The Company continues to review its costs structure and may record additional restructuring charges in the future.

H.    Asbestos-Related Liabilities

Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc. (“Crown Cork”) is one of many defendants in a substantial number of lawsuits filed throughout the U.S. by persons alleging bodily injury as a result of exposure to asbestos. These claims arose from the insulation operations of a U.S. company, the majority of whose stock Crown Cork purchased in 1963. Approximately ninety days after the stock purchase, this U.S. company sold its insulation assets and was later merged into Crown Cork.

Prior to 1998, amounts paid to asbestos claimants were covered by a fund made available to Crown Cork under a 1985 settlement with carriers insuring Crown Cork through 1976, when Crown Cork became self-insured. The fund was depleted in 1998 and the Company has no remaining coverage for asbestos-related costs.

In December 2001, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania enacted legislation that limits the asbestos-related liabilities of Pennsylvania corporations that are successors by corporate merger to companies involved with asbestos. The legislation limits the successor’s liability for asbestos to the acquired company’s asset value adjusted for inflation. Crown Cork has paid significantly more for asbestos-related claims than the acquired company’s adjusted asset value. In November 2004, the legislation was amended to address a Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision (Ieropoli v. AC&S Corporation, et. al., No. 117 EM 2002) which held that the statute violated the Pennsylvania Constitution due to retroactive application. The Company cautions that the limitations of the statute, as amended, are subject to litigation and may not be upheld.

In June 2003, the state of Texas enacted legislation that limits the asbestos-related liabilities in Texas courts of companies such as Crown Cork that allegedly incurred these liabilities because they are successors by corporate merger to companies that had been involved with asbestos. The Texas legislation, which applies to future claims and pending claims, caps asbestos-related liabilities at the total gross value of the predecessor’s assets adjusted for inflation. Crown Cork has paid significantly more for asbestos-related claims than the total adjusted value of its predecessor’s assets.

In October 2010, the Texas Supreme Court held that the Texas legislation was unconstitutional under the Texas Constitution when applied to asbestos-related claims pending against Crown Cork when the legislation was enacted in June 2003. The Company believes that the decision of the Texas Supreme Court is limited to retroactive application of the Texas legislation to asbestos-related cases that were pending against Crown Cork in Texas on June 11, 2003 and therefore, in its accrual, continues to assign no value to claims filed after June 11, 2003.
10
Crown Holdings, Inc.




The states of Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming have enacted legislation that limits asbestos-related liabilities under state law of companies such as Crown Cork that allegedly incurred these liabilities because they are successors by corporate merger to companies that had been involved with asbestos. The legislation, which applies to future and, with the exception of Arkansas, Georgia, South Carolina, South Dakota, West Virginia and Wyoming, pending claims, caps asbestos-related liabilities at the fair market value of the predecessor's total gross assets adjusted for inflation. Crown Cork has paid significantly more for asbestos-related claims than the total value of its predecessor's assets adjusted for inflation. Crown Cork has integrated the legislation into its claims defense strategy. The Company cautions, however, that the legislation may be challenged and there can be no assurance regarding the ultimate effect of the legislation on Crown Cork.

The Company further cautions that an adverse ruling in any litigation relating to the constitutionality or applicability to Crown Cork of one or more statutes that limits the asbestos-related liability of alleged defendants like Crown Cork could have a material impact on the Company.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company paid $7 to settle asbestos claims and pay related legal and defense costs and had claims activity as follows:

Beginning claims57,500 
New claims600
Settlements or dismissals(200)
Ending claims57,900 

In the fourth quarter of each year, the Company performs an analysis of outstanding claims and categorizes these claims by year of exposure and state filed. As of December 31, 2022, the Company's outstanding claims were:

Claimants alleging first exposure after 196417,000 
Claimants alleging first exposure before or during 1964 filed in:
Texas13,000 
Pennsylvania1,500 
Other states that have enacted asbestos legislation6,000 
Other states20,000 
Total claims outstanding57,500 

The outstanding claims in each period exclude approximately 19,000 inactive claims. Due to the passage of time, the Company considers it unlikely that the plaintiffs in these cases will pursue further action against the Company. The exclusion of these inactive claims had no effect on the calculation of the Company’s accrual as the claims were filed in states, as described above, where the Company’s liability is limited by statute.

With respect to claimants alleging first exposure to asbestos before or during 1964, the Company does not include in its accrual any amounts for settlements in states where the Company’s liability is limited by statute except for certain pending claims in Texas as described earlier.

With respect to post-1964 claims, regardless of the existence of asbestos legislation, the Company does not include in its accrual any amounts for settlement of these claims because of increased difficulty of establishing identification of relevant insulation products as the cause of injury. Given the Company's settlement experience with post-1964 claims, it does not believe that an adverse ruling in the Texas or Pennsylvania asbestos litigation cases, or in any other state that has enacted asbestos legislation, would have a material impact on the Company with respect to such claims.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the percentage of outstanding claims related to claimants alleging serious diseases (primarily mesothelioma and other malignancies) were as follows:

11
Crown Holdings, Inc.



20222021
Total claims24 %24 %
Pre-1965 claims in states without asbestos legislation43 %42 %

Crown Cork has entered into arrangements with plaintiffs’ counsel in certain jurisdictions with respect to claims which are not yet filed, or asserted, against it. However, Crown Cork expects claims under these arrangements to be filed or asserted against Crown Cork in the future. The projected value of these claims is included in the Company’s estimated liability as of June 30, 2023.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s accrual for pending and future asbestos-related claims and related legal costs was $213, including $165 for unasserted claims. The Company determines its accrual without limitation to a specific time period.

It is reasonably possible that the actual loss could be in excess of the Company’s accrual. However, the Company is unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss in excess of its accrual due to uncertainty in the following assumptions that underlie the Company’s accrual and the possibility of losses in excess of such accrual: the amount of damages sought by the claimant (which was not specified for approximately 82% of the claims outstanding at the end of 2022), the Company and claimant’s willingness to negotiate a settlement, the terms of settlements of other defendants with asbestos-related liabilities, the bankruptcy filings of other defendants (which may result in additional claims and higher settlements for non-bankrupt defendants), the nature of pending and future claims (including the seriousness of alleged disease, whether claimants allege first exposure to asbestos before or during 1964 and the claimant’s ability to demonstrate the alleged link to Crown Cork), the volatility of the litigation environment, the defense strategies available to the Company, the level of future claims, the rate of receipt of claims, the jurisdiction in which claims are filed, and the effect of state asbestos legislation (including the validity and applicability of the Pennsylvania legislation to non-Pennsylvania jurisdictions, where the substantial majority of the Company’s asbestos cases are filed).

I.    Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

The Company, along with others in most cases, has been identified by the EPA or a comparable state environmental agency as a Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”) at a number of sites and has recorded aggregate accruals of $12 for its share of estimated future remediation costs at these sites. The Company has been identified as having either directly or indirectly disposed of commercial or industrial waste at the sites subject to the accrual, and where appropriate and supported by available information, generally has agreed to be responsible for a percentage of future remediation costs based on an estimated volume of materials disposed in proportion to the total materials disposed at each site. The Company has not had monetary sanctions imposed nor has the Company been notified of any potential monetary sanctions at any of the sites.

The Company has also recorded aggregate accruals of $8 for remediation activities at various worldwide locations that are owned by the Company and for which the Company is not a member of a PRP group. Although the Company believes its accruals are adequate to cover its portion of future remediation costs, there can be no assurance that the ultimate payments will not exceed the amount of the Company’s accruals and will not have a material effect on its results of operations, financial position and cash flow. Any possible loss or range of potential loss that may be incurred in excess of the recorded accruals cannot be estimated.

In March 2015, the Bundeskartellamt, or German Federal Cartel Office (“FCO”), conducted unannounced inspections of the premises of several metal packaging manufacturers, including a German subsidiary of the Company. The local court order authorizing the inspection cited FCO suspicions of anti-competitive agreements in the German market for the supply of metal packaging products. The Company conducted an internal investigation into the matter and discovered instances of inappropriate conduct by certain employees of German subsidiaries of the Company. The Company cooperated with the FCO and submitted a leniency application with the FCO which disclosed the findings of its internal investigation to date. In April 2018, the FCO discontinued its national investigation and referred the matter to the European Commission (the “Commission”). Following the referral, Commission officials conducted unannounced inspections of the premises of several metal packaging manufacturers, including Company subsidiaries in Germany, France and the U.K. The Company cooperated with the Commission and submitted a leniency application with the Commission with respect to the findings of its internal investigation in Germany. In July 2022, the Company reached a settlement with the Commission relating to the Commission’s investigation, pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay a fine in the amount of $8. Fining decisions based on settlements can be appealed under EU law. The
12
Crown Holdings, Inc.



Company is seeking annulment of the Commission’s fining decision on the basis that the referral of the case from the FCO to the Commission was unjustified. There can be no assurance regarding the outcome of such appeal.

In March 2017, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) at the Port of Milwaukee issued a penalty notification alleging that certain of the Company’s subsidiaries intentionally misclassified the importation of certain goods into the U.S. during the period 2004 -2009. CBP initially assessed a penalty of $18. The Company has acknowledged to CBP that the goods were misclassified and has paid all related duties, which CBP does not dispute. The Company has asserted that the misclassification was unintentional and disputes the penalty assessment by CBP. CBP has brought suit in the U.S. Court of International Trade seeking enforcement of the initial penalty against the Company. At the present time, based on the information available, the Company does not believe that a loss for the alleged intentional misclassification is probable. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in contesting the assessed penalty.

On October 7, 2021, the French Autorité de la concurrence (the French Competition Authority or “FCA”) issued a statement of objections to 14 trade associations, one public entity and 101 legal entities from 28 corporate groups, including the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, other leading metal can manufacturers, certain can fillers and certain retailers in France. The FCA alleged violations of Articles 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and L.420-1 of the French Commercial Code. The statement of objections alleges, among other things, anti-competitive behavior in connection with the removal of bisphenol-A from metal packaging in France. The removal of bisphenol-A was mandated by French legislation that went into effect in 2015. If the FCA finds that the Company or its subsidiaries violated competition law, the FCA may levy fines. Proceedings with respect to this matter are ongoing and the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome including the amount of fines, if any, that may be levied by the FCA. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the allegations in the statement of objections.

The Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to various other lawsuits and claims with respect to labor, environmental, securities, vendor and other matters arising out of the Company’s normal course of business. While the impact on future financial results is not subject to reasonable estimation because considerable uncertainty exists, management believes that the ultimate liabilities resulting from such lawsuits and claims will not materially affect the Company’s consolidated earnings, financial position or cash flow. The Company has various commitments to purchase materials, supplies and utilities as part of the ordinary conduct of business. At times, the Company guarantees the obligations of subsidiaries under certain of these contracts and is liable for such arrangements only if the subsidiary fails to perform its obligations under the contract.

The Company’s basic raw materials for its products are aluminum and steel, both of which are purchased from multiple sources. The Company is subject to fluctuations in the cost of these raw materials and has periodically adjusted its selling prices to reflect these movements. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to fully recover any increases or fluctuations in raw material costs from its customers. The Company also has commitments for standby letters of credit and for purchases of capital assets.

At June 30, 2023, the Company was party to certain indemnification agreements covering environmental remediation, lease payments and other potential costs associated with properties sold or businesses divested. The Company accrues for costs related to these items when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

J.    Derivative and Other Financial Instruments

Fair Value Measurements

Under U.S. GAAP a framework exists for measuring fair value, providing a three-tier hierarchy of pricing inputs used to report assets and liabilities that are adjusted to fair value. Level 1 includes inputs such as quoted prices which are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the report date. Level 2 includes inputs other than those available in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 3 includes unobservable pricing inputs that are not corroborated by market data or other objective sources. The Company has no recurring items valued using Level 3 inputs other than certain pension plan assets.

The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment
13
Crown Holdings, Inc.



and may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities measured at fair value and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.

The Company applies a market approach to value its commodity price hedge contracts. Prices from observable markets are used to develop the fair value of these financial instruments and they are reported under Level 2. The Company uses an income approach to value its foreign exchange forward contracts. These contracts are valued using a discounted cash flow model that calculates the present value of future cash flows under the terms of the contracts using market information as of the reporting date, such as foreign exchange spot and forward rates, and are reported under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fair value disclosures for financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis are provided later in this note. In addition, see Note K for fair value disclosures related to debt.

Derivative Financial Instruments

In the normal course of business the Company is subject to risk from adverse fluctuations in currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company manages these risks through a program that includes the use of derivative financial instruments, primarily swaps and forwards. Counterparties to these contracts are major financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties. The Company does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company’s objective in managing exposure to market and interest rate risk is to limit the impact on earnings and cash flow. The extent to which the Company uses such instruments is dependent upon its access to these contracts in the financial markets and its success using other methods, such as netting exposures in the same currencies to mitigate foreign exchange risk, using sales agreements that permit the pass-through of commodity price and foreign exchange rate risk to customers and borrowing both fixed and floating debt instruments to manage interest rate risk.

For derivative financial instruments accounted for in hedging relationships, the Company formally designates and documents, at inception, the financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure, the risk management objective and the manner in which effectiveness will be assessed. The Company formally assesses, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the hedging relationships are effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the related underlying exposures. When a forecasted transaction is reasonably possible, but not probable of occurring, the hedge no longer qualifies for hedge accounting and the change in fair value from the date of the last effectiveness test is recognized in earnings. Any gain or loss which has accumulated in other comprehensive income at the date of the last effectiveness test is reclassified into earnings at the same time of the underlying exposure or when the forecasted transaction becomes probable of not occurring.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company designates certain derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges. No components of the hedging instruments are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Changes in fair value of outstanding derivatives accounted for as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income until earnings are impacted by the hedged transaction. Classification of the gain or loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations upon reclassification from accumulated comprehensive income is the same as that of the underlying exposure. Contracts outstanding at June 30, 2023 mature between one and eighteen months.

The Company uses commodity forward contracts to hedge anticipated purchases of various commodities, primarily aluminum, and these exposures are hedged by a central treasury unit.

The Company also designates certain foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges of anticipated foreign currency denominated sales or purchases. The Company manages these risks at the operating unit level. Often, foreign currency risk is hedged together with the related commodity price risk.

    The Company may also use interest rate swaps to convert interest on floating rate debt to a fixed-rate. 

The following tables set forth financial information about the impact on other comprehensive income ("OCI"), accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") and earnings from changes in the fair value of derivative instruments.

For the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2024, a net loss of $18 ($15, net of tax) is expected to be reclassified to earnings for commodity and foreign exchange contracts. No material amounts were reclassified during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 in connection with anticipated transactions that were considered probable of not occurring.

    Fair Value Hedges and Contracts Not Designated as Hedges

The Company designates certain derivative financial instruments as fair value hedges of recognized foreign-denominated assets and liabilities, generally trade accounts receivable and payable and unrecognized firm commitments. The notional values and maturity dates of the derivative instruments coincide with those of the hedged items. Changes in fair value of the derivative financial instruments, excluding time value, are offset by changes in fair value of the related hedged items.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded losses of $5 and $10 from foreign exchange contracts designated as fair value hedges. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a gain of $6 and a loss of $15 from foreign exchange contracts designated as fair value hedges. These adjustments were reported within foreign exchange in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Certain derivative financial instruments, including foreign exchange contracts related to intercompany debt, were not designated or did not qualify for hedge accounting; however, they are effective economic hedges as the changes in their fair value, except for time value, are offset by changes arising from re-measurement of the related hedged items. The Company’s primary use of these derivative instruments is to offset the earnings impact that fluctuations in foreign exchange rates have on certain monetary assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies. Changes in fair value of these derivative instruments are immediately recognized in earnings as foreign exchange adjustments.

The following table sets forth the impact on earnings from derivatives not designated as hedges.

Net Investment Hedges

The Company designates certain debt and derivative instruments as net investment hedges to manage foreign currency risk relating to net investments in subsidiaries denominated in foreign currencies and reduce the variability in the functional currency equivalent cash flows.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded losses of $6 ($5, net of tax) and $22 ($19, net of tax) in other comprehensive income for certain debt instruments that are designated as hedges of its net investment in a euro-based subsidiary. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded gains of $33 ($26, net of tax) and $50 ($36, net of tax) in other comprehensive income for these net investment hedges. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, cumulative gains of $79 ($92, net of tax) and gains of $101 ($111, net of tax) were recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income related to these net investment hedges and the carrying amount of the hedging instrument was €1,039 ($1,134) at June 30, 2023.

Q.    Segment Information

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on segment income, which is not a defined term under GAAP. The Company defines segment income as income from operations adjusted to exclude intangibles amortization charges and provisions for restructuring and other. Segment income should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to calculations of similarly titled measures by other companies.

The Company's proportionate share of net income from this investment was $5 and $7 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and $8 and $23, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company received distributions of $83 for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
    (dollars in millions)

    Introduction

The following discussion presents management's analysis of the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 2022 and changes in financial condition and liquidity from December 31, 2022. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, along with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in and referred to within this report.

Business Strategy and Trends

The Company, through its subsidiaries, is a leading global supplier of aluminum and steel beverage, food and aerosol cans to consumer marketing companies, as well as transit and protective packaging products, equipment and services to a broad range of end markets. The Company has a diverse portfolio of global packaging businesses that generate significant operating cash flow enabling the Company to invest for growth while returning cash to shareholders. Beverage cans are the world's most sustainable and recycled beverage packaging and continue to gain market share in new beverage product launches.

For several years, global industry demand for beverage cans has been growing. In North America, beverage can growth has accelerated in recent years mainly due to the outsized portion of new beverage products being introduced in cans versus other packaging formats. In addition, markets such as Brazil, Europe, Mexico and Southeast Asia have also experienced higher volumes and market expansion.

The Company's capital allocation strategy also focuses on maintaining a strong balance sheet with a target leverage ratio between 3.0x and 3.5x and returning capital to shareholders in the form of dividends and the repurchase of Company shares. In December 2021, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $3.0 billion in Company common stock through the end of 2024.

The Company continues to actively elevate its commitment to sustainability, which is a core value of the Company. In 2020, the Company debuted Twentyby30, a robust program that outlines twenty measurable, science based, environmental, social and governance goals to be completed by 2030 or sooner. In September 2021, the Company joined The Climate Pledge, a commitment to be net-zero carbon across business operations by 2040.

To date the war between Russia and Ukraine has not had a direct material impact on the Company's business, financial condition, or results of operations.

The Company continues to actively manage the challenges of supply chain disruptions, foreign exchange and interest rate fluctuations and inflationary pressures, including fluctuations in raw material, energy and transportation costs. The Company generally attempts to mitigate aluminum and steel price risk by matching its purchase obligations with its sales agreements. Additionally, the Company attempts to mitigate inflationary pressures on energy and raw material costs with contractual pass-through provisions that include annual selling price adjustments based on price indexes. The Company also uses commodity forward contracts to manage its exposure to raw material costs. The ability to mitigate inflationary risks through these measures varies by region and the impact on the results of the Company’s segments is discussed, as applicable, in the heading "Results of Operations" below.

Results of Operations

The key measure used by the Company in assessing performance is segment income, a non-GAAP measure defined by the Company as income from operations adjusted to exclude intangibles amortization charges, Restructuring and Other and the impact of fair value adjustments to inventory acquired in an acquisition.

The foreign currency translation impacts referred to in the discussion below were primarily due to changes in the Mexican peso in the Company's Americas Beverage segment, the euro and pound sterling in the Company's European Beverage segment and the Thai baht and Chinese yuan in the Company's Asia Pacific segment. The Company's Transit Packaging segment is a global business. The foreign currency translation impacts referred to in the discussion

Crown Holdings, Inc.



below for Transit Packaging are primarily related to the euro, the Mexican peso and the Indian rupee. The Company calculates the impact of foreign currency translation by multiplying or dividing, as appropriate, current year U.S. dollar results by the current year average foreign exchange rates and then multiplying or dividing, as appropriate, those amounts by the applicable prior year average exchange rates.

Net Sales and Segment Income

Net sales$3,109 $3,510 $6,083 $6,672 

Three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 2022

Net sales decreased primarily due to $288 from the pass-through of lower aluminum, steel and other commodity costs and lower volumes across the European Beverage, Asia Pacific, Transit Packaging and Other segments, partially offset by higher volumes in the Americas Beverage segment and favorable foreign currency translation of $11.

Six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 2022

Net sales decreased primarily due to $388 from the pass-through of lower aluminum, steel and other commodity costs, lower volumes across the European Beverage, Asia Pacific, Transit Packaging and Other segments, and unfavorable foreign currency translation of $25, partially offset by higher volumes in the Americas Beverage segment.

Americas Beverage

The Americas Beverage segment manufactures aluminum beverage cans and ends, steel crowns, glass bottles and aluminum closures and supplies a variety of customers from its operations in the U.S., Brazil, Canada, Colombia and Mexico.

The U.S. and Canadian beverage can markets have experienced recent growth due to the introduction of new beverage products in cans versus other packaging formats. In Brazil and Mexico, the Company's sales unit volumes have increased in recent years primarily due to market growth driven by increased per capita incomes and consumption, combined with an increased preference for cans over other forms of beverage packing.

To meet volume requirements in these markets, the Company began commercial production of the following:

•Martinsville, Virginia - line one in November 2022 and line two in March 2023
•Monterrey, Mexico - April 2022
•Uberaba, Brazil - line one in May 2022 and line two in October 2022

The Company also expects to commence production at a new two-line plant in Mesquite, Nevada in the second half of 2023.

Net sales and segment income in the Americas Beverage segment were as follows:

Net sales$1,292 $1,378 $2,553 $2,604 
Segment income211 216 389 380 

Three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 2022

Net sales decreased primarily due to the pass-through of lower aluminum costs, partially offset by contractual pass-through mechanisms put in place to recover inflation, 2.5% higher volumes in North America and favorable foreign currency translation of $14.

25
Crown Holdings, Inc.



Segment income decreased primarily due to insurance recoveries of $20 in 2022 for incremental costs and lost profits from prior quarters related to the Bowling Green tornado and increased depreciation of $4 for recent capacity expansions in 2023, partially offset by higher volumes and favorable foreign currency translation of $4.

Six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 2022

Net sales decreased primarily due to the pass-through of lower aluminum costs, partially offset by contractual pass-through mechanisms put in place to recover inflation, 4% higher volumes and favorable foreign currency translation of $24.

Segment income increased primarily due to inflation mechanisms put in place to recover cost increases and higher volumes, partially offset by start-up costs and increased depreciation of $10 for recent capacity expansions.

In March 2023 a Brazilian beverage can customer filed for bankruptcy and the Company's exposure as of June 30, 2023 is approximately $77. The Company possesses a security interest related to the supply agreement which was considered in the Company's allowance for credit losses. The Company will continue to monitor the bankruptcy plan and consider the impact on the Company's results of operations and cash flows.

European Beverage

The Company's European Beverage segment manufactures aluminum beverage cans and ends and supplies a variety of customers from its operations throughout Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. In recent years, the European beverage can market has been growing due to the introduction of new beverage products in cans versus other packaging formats. In 2023 high speed production lines are being added to plants in Parma, Italy and Agoncillo, Spain, and the Company expects to complete the relocation to a new two-line plant in Peterborough, United Kingdom.

In February 2023, twin earthquakes struck near the Company's Osmaniye, Turkey plant. There was no significant damage to the physical plant structure, equipment or inventory. The plant resumed production and shipments to customers able to receive deliveries by the end of February. This event did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or cash flows.

Net sales and segment income in the European Beverage segment were as follows:

Three Months EndedSix Months Ended
 June 30,June 30,
 2023202220232022
Net sales$532 $599 $1,011 $1,109 
Segment income74 56 119 109 

Three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 2022

Net sales decreased primarily due to lower volumes, the pass-through of lower aluminum costs, and unfavorable foreign currency translation of $18 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, partially offset by the contractual recovery of prior years' inflationary cost increases.

Segment income increased primarily due to contractual pass-through mechanisms put in place to recover inflation, partially offset by lower volumes.

Asia Pacific
The Company's Asia Pacific segment consists of beverage can operations in Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam and non-beverage can operations, primarily food cans and specialty packaging. In recent years, the beverage can market in Southeast Asia has been growing driven by increased per capita incomes and consumption, combined with an increased preference for cans over other forms of beverage packaging. To meet volume requirements in Southeast Asia, the Company began commercial production of a third line in Phnom Penh, Cambodia in August 2022.
    
26
Crown Holdings, Inc.



In June 2022, the Company's Yangon, Myanmar beverage can plant was temporarily idled due to currency restrictions, which resulted in the inability to source U.S. dollars required to procure U.S. dollar raw materials. During the first six months of 2023, the Company has been able to complete U.S. dollar conversions and resumed production on a limited basis. For the six months ended June, 30, 2023, the plant had net sales of $6. Property, plant and equipment as of June 30, 2023 was $53, including $25 of land and buildings and $28 of machinery and equipment. The Company will continue to monitor the economic conditions and the impact to its business in Myanmar, including any alternative uses for its machinery and equipment.

Net sales and segment income in the Asia Pacific segment were as follows:

Three Months EndedSix Months Ended

 2023202220232022
Net sales$332 $432 $670 $845 
Segment income38 55 74 108 

Three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 2022

Net sales and segment income decreased primarily due to lower volumes. Net sales were also negatively impacted by the pass-through of lower aluminum costs and unfavorable foreign currency translation. The impact of foreign currency translation on net sales was $3 and $9 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Transit Packaging

The Company's Transit Packaging segment includes the Company's worldwide industrial products, protective solutions, and automation, equipment and tools business. Industrial products include steel strap, plastic strap, industrial film and other related products that are used in a wide range of industries. Protective solutions include transit protection products, such as airbags, edge protectors, and honeycomb products that help prevent movement of, and/or damage to, a wide range of industrial and consumer goods during transport. Automation, equipment and tools includes manual, semi-automatic and automatic equipment and tools, which are primarily used in end-of-line operations to apply consumables such as strap and film.
Net sales and segment income in the Transit Packaging segment were as follows:

Segment income89 74 167 135 

Three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 2022

Net sales decreased primarily due to lower volumes and $20 from the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Segment income increased primarily due to costs savings from headcount reductions across the business, partially offset by lower volumes. Additionally, the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were negatively impacted by $8 and $14, respectively, from the repricing of higher cost inventory from the prior year in the steel strap business.

Other

Other includes the Company's food can, aerosol can and closures businesses in North America, and beverage tooling and equipment operations in the U.S. and U.K. The Company added a third two-piece food can line to its Owatonna, Minnesota plant in 2022 and expects to add a pet food can line to its Dubuque, Iowa plant in 2023.

Three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 2022

Net sales decreased primarily due to lower volumes across all businesses and the pass-through of lower steel costs, partially offset by contractual pass-through mechanisms put in place to recover inflation.

Segment income decreased primarily due to lower volumes. Additionally, segment income decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2023 due to a steel repricing gain of $48 in the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to a repricing loss of $12 in 2023.

Corporate and unallocated

Corporate and unallocated items include corporate and administrative costs, technology costs, and unallocated items such as stock-based compensation and insurance costs.

Corporate and unallocated expense$(34)$(31)$(78)$(73)

Corporate and unallocated expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to higher unallocated insurance costs.

Restructuring and other

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, restructuring and other, net charges of $6 and $17, respectively, primarily included business reorganization activities in the Company's European Beverage segment. The Company continues to review its costs structure and may record additional restructuring charges in the future.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, restructuring and other, net gains of $73 and $74, respectively, primarily included a $113 gain from the sale of the Transit Packaging segment's Kiwiplan business, partially offset by $29 of charges related to an overhead cost reduction program initiated by the Transit Packaging segment.

Other pension and postretirement

Other pension and postretirement costs increased to $16 and $27 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to benefits of $4 and $8 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 due to higher post-retirement expense as unamortized gains from prior year plan amendments are now fully amortized, $6 for a one-time pension termination charge related to business reorganization activities in Europe and higher pension expense due to higher interest rates and lower expected return on plan assets.

Interest expense

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 2022, interest expense increased from $64 to $110 and $118 to $212 due to higher outstanding debt balances and higher interest rates.

Equity in net earnings of affiliates

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 to 2022, equity in net earnings of affiliates decreased from $12 and $7 and from $29 to $10, primarily due to lower earnings in the Company's European tinplate equity method investment.

Crown Holdings, Inc.




Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 2022, net income from noncontrolling interests decreased from $34 to $30 and $64 to $50, primarily due to lower earnings in the Company's beverage can operations in Brazil.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash from Operations

Cash provided by operating activities increased from $196 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $293 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to working capital improvements offset by lower earnings.

Days sales outstanding for trade receivables, excluding the impact of unbilled receivables, decreased from 36 days as of June 30, 2022 to 34 days as of June 30, 2023.

Inventory turnover increased from 64 days at June 30, 2022 to 70 days at June 30, 2023 primarily due to inventory builds in certain segments.

Days outstanding for trade payables decreased from 102 days at June 30, 2022 to 81 days at June 30, 2023 primarily resulting from decreased purchases due to higher year end inventory levels.
Investing Activities

Cash used for investing activities increased from $130 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $378 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to higher capital expenditures partially offset by a $56 distribution from equity method investment in the six months ended June 30, 2023. Additionally, the six months ended June 30, 2022 included proceeds received from the sale of the Company's Transit Packaging segment's Kiwiplan business in April 2022.

The Company currently expects capital expenditures in 2023 to be approximately $900.

Financing Activities

Financing activities used cash of $38 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and provided cash of $101 for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

In May 2023, the Company issued €500 principal amount of 5.0% senior unsecured notes due 2028. In March 2022, the Company issued $500 principal amount of 5.250% senior unsecured notes due 2030. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company repurchased $600 of common stock.

Liquidity

As of June 30, 2023, $464 of the Company's $547 of cash and cash equivalents was located outside the U.S. The Company is not currently aware of any legal restrictions under foreign law that materially impact its access to cash held outside the U.S. The Company funds its cash needs in the U.S. through a combination of cash flows from operations, dividends from certain foreign subsidiaries, borrowings under its revolving credit facility and the acceleration of cash receipts under its receivable securitization and factoring facilities. Of the cash and cash equivalents located outside the U.S., $390 was held by subsidiaries for which earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested.

The Company's revolving credit agreements provide capacity of $1,650. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had available capacity of $1,584 under its revolving credit facilities. The Company could have borrowed this amount at June 30, 2023 and still have been in compliance with its leverage ratio covenants.

The Company's debt agreements contain covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional debt, pay dividends or repurchase capital stock, make certain other restricted payments, create liens and engage in sale and leaseback transactions. These restrictions are subject to a number of exceptions,
29
Crown Holdings, Inc.



however, which allow the Company to incur additional debt, create liens or make otherwise restricted payments provided that the Company is in compliance with applicable financial and other covenants and meets certain liquidity requirements.

The Company’s revolving credit facilities and term loan facilities also contain a total leverage ratio covenant. The leverage ratio is calculated as total net debt divided by Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement). Total net debt is defined in the credit agreement as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. Consolidated EBITDA is calculated as the sum of, among other things, net income attributable to Crown Holdings, net income attributable to certain of the Company's subsidiaries, income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and certain non-cash charges. The Company’s total net leverage ratio of 3.8 to 1.0 at June 30, 2023 was in compliance with the covenant requiring a ratio no greater than 5.0 to 1.0. The ratio is calculated at the end of each quarter using debt and cash balances as of the end of the quarter and Consolidated EBITDA for the most recent twelve months. Failure to meet the financial covenant could result in the acceleration of any outstanding amounts due under the revolving credit facilities and term loan facilities. The required net total leverage ratio under the agreement reduces to 4.5 to 1.0 at December 31, 2023.

The Company’s current sources of liquidity also include various securitization facilities. In July 2023, the Company amended a securitization agreement to extend the term through July 2025 and increased the program limit from $700 to $800. Additionally, the Company has securitization facilities with program limits of $200 and $160 that expire in December 2023 and November 2025.

Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $206 of capital commitments primarily related to Americas Beverage. The Company expects to fund these commitments primarily through cash flows from operations.

Contractual Obligations

There were no material changes to the Company's contractual obligations provided within Part II, Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Information regarding the Company's commitments and contingent liabilities appears in Part I within Item 1 of this report under Note I, entitled “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities,” to the consolidated financial statements, and in Part II within Item 1A of this report which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. which require that management make numerous estimates and assumptions.
31
Crown Holdings, Inc.




Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, impacting the reported results of operations and financial condition of the Company. Part II, Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note A to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 describe the significant accounting estimates and policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Updates to the Company's accounting policies related to new accounting pronouncements, as applicable, are included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Forward Looking Statements

Statements included herein, including, but not limited to, those in “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in the discussions of asbestos in Note H and commitments and contingencies in Note I to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and also in Part I, Item 1, “Business” and Item 3, “Legal Proceedings” and in Part II, Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” within the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which are not historical facts (including any statements concerning the direct or indirect impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war, objectives of management for capacity additions, share repurchases, dividends, future operations or economic performance, or assumptions related thereto, including the potential for higher interest rates and energy prices), are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. In addition, the Company and its representatives may, from time to time, make oral or written statements which are also “forward-looking statements.”

These forward-looking statements are made based upon management's expectations and beliefs concerning future events impacting the Company and, therefore, involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Management cautions that forward-looking statements are not guarantees and that actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.

While the Company periodically reassesses material trends and uncertainties affecting the Company's results of operations and financial condition in connection with the preparation of “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and certain other sections contained in the Company's quarterly, annual or other reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Company does not intend to review or revise any particular forward-looking statement in light of future events.

A discussion of important factors that could cause the actual results of operations or financial condition of the Company to differ from expectations has been set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 within Part II, Item 7: “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the caption “Forward Looking Statements” and is incorporated herein by reference. Some of the factors are also discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q (including under Item 1A of Part II below) and in prior Company filings with the SEC. In addition, other factors have been or may be discussed from time to time in the Company's SEC filings.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

In the normal course of business the Company is subject to risk from adverse fluctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates and commodity prices. The Company manages these risks through a program that includes the use of derivative financial instruments, primarily swaps and forwards. Counterparties to these contracts are major financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties. These instruments are not used for trading or speculative purposes. The extent to which the Company uses such instruments is dependent upon its access to these contracts in the financial markets and its success in using other methods, such as netting exposures in the same currencies to mitigate foreign exchange risk and using sales arrangements that permit the pass-through of commodity prices and foreign exchange rate risks to customers. The Company's objective in managing its exposure to market risk is to limit the impact on earnings and cash flow. For further discussion of the Company's use of derivative instruments and their fair values at June 30, 2023, see Note J to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

32
Crown Holdings, Inc.



As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $2.5 billion principal floating interest rate debt and $1.3 billion of securitization and factoring. A change of 0.25% in these floating interest rates would change annual interest expense by approximately $9 million before tax.


Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation and as of the end of the quarter for which this report is made, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Disclosure controls and procedures ensure that information to be disclosed in reports that the Company files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and terms of the SEC, and ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There has been no change in internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
