Newell Brands reported third quarter 2025 net sales of $942 million in its Home & Commercial Solutions segment, a decrease from $1.0 billion in the same period last year, reflecting a core sales decline of 9.8% and the impact of favorable foreign exchange. Operating income for the segment was $40 million, or 4.2% of sales, compared to an operating loss of $94 million, or negative 9.0% of sales, in the prior year period. Normalized operating income was $64 million, or 6.8% of sales, down from $122 million, or 11.7% of sales, a year earlier. At the end of the third quarter, Newell Brands had debt outstanding of $4.8 billion and cash and cash equivalents of $229 million, compared to $5.0 billion and $494 million, respectively, at the end of the third quarter of 2024. The company attributed sales declines to reduced retail inventory levels, softer international markets, and moderated demand following tariff-driven pricing actions. Newell Brands expects its international business to return to growth in the fourth quarter and has implemented sourcing changes, pricing actions, and productivity initiatives to address trade disruptions.
