💼 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.
