O-I Glass (OI) Risk Analysis

Public companies are required to disclose risks that can affect the business and impact the stock. These disclosures are known as “Risk Factors”. Companies disclose these risks in their yearly (Form 10-K), quarterly earnings (Form 10-Q), or “foreign private issuer” reports (Form 20-F). Risk factors show the challenges a company faces. Investors can consider the worst-case scenarios before making an investment. TipRanks’ Risk Analysis categorizes risks based on proprietary classification algorithms and machine learning. O-I Glass disclosed 30 risk factors in its most recent earnings report. O-I Glass reported the most risks in the “Production” category.

  • Supply Chain - Risk 1
    Supply Chain Disruptions-The Company's capital expenditure plans have been, and may continue to be, affected by supply chain disruptions.

    The Company relies on third parties to provide equipment and materials needed for its capital expenditure projects. The global supply chain for the Company's capital expenditure projects has been, and may continue to be impacted by disruptions, such as political events, international trade disputes or other geopolitical tensions, acts of terrorism, hostilities or wars (such as the continued conflicts in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine), natural disasters, public health issues, such as a pandemic, industrial accidents, inflation, and other business interruptions. Global supply chain disruptions may continue to adversely impact the Company's ability to procure materials and equipment in a timely and cost-effective manner, which may negatively impact the Company's operating costs and timelines for capital expenditure projects and limit the Company's sales opportunities.

  • Costs - Risk 2
    Energy Costs or Availability-Higher energy costs worldwide and interrupted power supplies, including as a result of the current conflicts in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine, and any escalation of these conflicts, may have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated assets or operations.

    Electrical power, natural gas, and fuel oil are vital to the Company's operations as it relies on a continuous energy supply to conduct its business. Depending on the location and mix of energy sources, energy accounts for 10% to 20% of total manufacturing costs. Substantial increases and volatility in energy costs, including those resulting from extreme weather events that affect the Company's facilities directly or its energy suppliers, or the current conflicts in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine, and any escalation of these conflicts, could cause the Company to experience a significant increase in operating costs, which may have a material adverse effect on its assets or results of operations. For example, the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine has caused a significant increase in the price of natural gas and increased price volatility. Natural gas forms the primary energy source for the Company's European operations, and a significant amount of natural gas in Europe is ultimately sourced from Russia. The Company's European operations typically purchase natural gas under mid- to long-term supply arrangements with terms that range from one to three years and, through these agreements, typically agree on a portion of the price with the relevant supplier in advance of the period in which the natural gas will be delivered, which shields the Company from the full impact of increased natural gas prices, while such agreements remain in effect. However, if new agreements are entered into during periods when prices have increased, this would lead to cost inflation and could impact the Company's profitability if the Company is not able to pass on these increased costs to customers. Moreover, higher global energy costs in Europe are expected in future periods driven by the conflicts in the Middle East. In addition, the Company has an energy derivative contract that is intended to protect against the rise of natural gas costs impacting its European operations. Under the terms of the energy derivative contract, if European natural gas prices rise above a specified level (the "price trigger"), the Company is entitled to indemnification from the counterparty for the difference between the price paid to purchase the natural gas and the price trigger. However, if European natural gas prices rise above a predetermined maximum level (the "price cap"), the Company's entitlement to indemnification is limited to the difference between the price cap and the price trigger. Accordingly, if European natural gas prices rise above the price cap, the Company would bear the full incremental cost of natural gas prices in excess of the price cap, which may be significant and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. Furthermore, the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the resulting sanctions, potential sanctions, government-mandated curtailments or government-imposed allocations, tariffs or other adverse repercussions on energy supplies could cause the Company's energy suppliers to be unable or unwilling to deliver natural gas at agreed prices and quantities. If this occurs, the Company may need to procure natural gas at then-current market prices, subject to market availability, which may exceed both the prices contemplated under the applicable supply arrangement and the price cap applicable under the Company's energy derivative contract, which, in either case, could cause the Company to experience a significant increase in operating costs or result in the temporary or permanent cessation of delivery of natural gas to several of the Company's manufacturing plants in Europe. Alternatively, for certain plants that have energy switching capabilities, the Company may decide to switch to a different energy source, which could also result in a significant increase in operating costs. In addition, depending on the duration and ultimate outcome of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, future long-term supply arrangements for natural gas may not be available at reasonable prices or at all. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated assets or results of operations.

    Operational Disruptions-Profitability could be affected by unanticipated operational disruptions.

    The Company's glass container manufacturing process is asset intensive and includes the use of large furnaces and machines. The Company periodically experiences unanticipated disruptions of its assets, and these events can have an adverse effect on its business operations and profitability. The impacts of these operational disruptions include, but are not limited to, higher maintenance, production changeover and shipping costs, higher capital spending, as well as lower absorption of fixed costs during periods of extended downtime. The Company maintains insurance policies in amounts and with coverage and deductibles that are reasonable and in line with industry standards; however, this insurance coverage may not be adequate to protect the Company from all liabilities and expenses that may arise.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
