💼 Financial Highlights: A Streamlined, Profitable Future

Ball’s 2024 fiscal performance reflects the strategic recalibration following the divestiture of its Aerospace segment to BAE Systems in February 2024.

📊 Key Figures:

Metric Value
Net Sales (Revenue) $11.80 Billion
GAAP Net Earnings $4.01 Billion
Comparable Net Earnings $977 Million
Diluted EPS (GAAP) $13.00
Comparable EPS $3.17

Despite a reduced topline (due to the aerospace exit), Ball reported record net earnings, driven by streamlined operations, optimized supply chains, and increased demand for sustainable packaging solutions across North America, Europe, and South America.

📌 “Our pivot to core packaging has fortified our profitability and long-term vision.”Ball Corporation CEO


🔄 A Historic Transition: Aerospace Divestiture

The $5.6 billion sale of the Aerospace division in early 2024 marked a pivotal shift in Ball’s legacy. By focusing exclusively on aluminum beverage packaging, the company has positioned itself as a pure-play sustainability leader—untangling itself from defense complexities and aligning fully with global ESG trends.

“2024 wasn’t just a financial year—it was a redefining moment,” the report emphasizes.


♻️ Sustainability Goals: Accelerating the Circular Economy

The report devotes extensive detail to Ball’s environmental mission, underscoring its:

  • 🌿 Commitment to 100% infinitely recyclable aluminum

  • 🔋 Shift to renewable electricity across operations

  • 📉 Targeted reduction of carbon emissions by 55% by 2030

  • 🤝 Partnerships with NGOs and beverage brands for closed-loop recycling systems

Ball is also working on next-gen packaging formats that reduce material use and increase shelf-life, with investments in smart packaging technologies and consumer engagement platforms.


🌐 Regional Growth & Operational Focus

  • North America: Strong growth in seltzer, energy drink, and sparkling water segments.

  • South America: Expansions in Brazil and Argentina with eco-efficient plants.

  • EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa): Continued transition from steel to aluminum, aligning with EU Green Deal requirements.

🔎 Market analysts predict Ball’s pure-play model will outperform hybrid competitors as sustainability regulations tighten globally.
