NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In millions, except per share and statistical data)

(Unaudited)

A.Basis of Presentation

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 March 31, 2026 and the results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 and of its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. 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 annual 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, 2025.

B.Recent Accounting and Reporting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a final standard on disaggregation of income statement expenses. The standard requires disclosure of more detailed information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to the financial statements. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The standard is applied prospectively with an option for retrospective adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on its disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued guidance to clarify and modernize the accounting for costs related to internal-use software. The guidance eliminates references to various stages of a software development project and clarifies the threshold to apply to begin capitalizing costs. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance is applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively or using a modified transition approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2025, the FASB issued a final standard on improvements to hedge accounting, which introduces five targeted improvements to better align hedge accounting with entities' risk management activities. The standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 included amortization expense of $38 and $35.

G. Supplier Finance Program Obligations

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 $857 and $927 confirmed obligations outstanding under these supplier finance programs as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 included in Accounts payable.

Crown Holdings, Inc.

H. Restructuring and Other

The Company recorded restructuring and other items as follows:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2026		2025
Asset sales and impairments, net	$	—	$	(9)
Restructuring	1		7
Other costs	1		—

	$	2	$	(2)

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the gain on asset sales and impairments primarily relates to the sale of a building in the Transit Packaging segment.

During the first quarter of 2026, the Company made payments of $4 and had a restructuring accrual of $17. The Company expects to pay these amounts over the next twelve months. The Company continues to review its cost structure and may record additional restructuring charges in the future.

I. 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.

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

Crown Holdings, Inc.

exception of Arkansas, Georgia, South Carolina, South Dakota, West Virginia and Wyoming, pending claims at the time of enactment, 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 three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company paid $2 to settle asbestos claims and pay related legal and defense costs and had approximate claims activity as follows:


Beginning claims			59,900
New claims			400
Settlements or dismissals			(100)
Ending claims			60,200

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, 2025, the Company's outstanding claims were:


Claimants alleging first exposure after 1964			18,000
Claimants alleging first exposure before or during 1964 filed in:
Texas			13,000
Pennsylvania			1,300
Other states that have enacted asbestos legislation			6,000
Other states			21,600
Total claims outstanding			59,900

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, 2025 and 2024, the percentage of outstanding claims related to claimants alleging serious diseases (primarily mesothelioma and other malignancies) were as follows:


	2025		2024
Total claims	28	%	27	%
Pre-1965 claims in states without asbestos legislation	44	%	43	%

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 March 31, 2026. In 2025, Crown Cork was party to a verdict in a mesothelioma wrongful death case

Crown Holdings, Inc.

tried in the Superior Court of the State of California in Los Angeles. Crown Cork's share of the compensatory damages was $4 and punitive damages of $7. These amounts have been fully accrued. The Company has appealed the judgment, however there can be no assurances regarding the outcome of such appeal.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company's accrual for pending and future asbestos-related claims and related legal costs was $175, including $112 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 83% of the claims outstanding at the end of 2025), 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).

J. 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 $7 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 and the Company sought annulment of the Commission's fining decision on the basis that the referral of the case from the FCO to the Commission was unjustified. In October 2024, the General Court of the EU issued a judgment dismissing the Company's appeal. In December 2024, the Company appealed the General Court's judgment to the European Court of Justice. There can be no assurance regarding the outcome of such appeal.

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,

Crown Holdings, Inc.

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. On December 29, 2023, the FCA issued a decision imposing a fine of €4 million on the Company. The Company has appealed the decision of the FCA, however there can be no assurance regarding the outcome of such appeal.

In June 2024, the Brazilian Federal Tax Authorities issued an assessment against the Company's Brazilian subsidiary in relation to the use of PIS and COFINS indirect tax credits arising from a favorable judicial decision received by the Company in 2019. The assessment disallowed credits of $42 taken by the Company for the years 2004 through 2015 when the PIS and COFINS indirect taxes were calculated by fixed rates and assessed interest and penalties. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company received an unfavorable ruling to a challenge at the administrative level. The Company does not believe that a loss for this assessment is probable and has challenged the assessment at the judicial level. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in contesting the assessment.

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 March 31, 2026, 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.

K. 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 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 L 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 March 31, 2026 mature between one and twenty-one months.

The Company uses commodity forward contracts to hedge anticipated purchases of various commodities, primarily aluminum as well as natural gas and electricity, 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 designated as cash flow hedges.

For the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2027, a net gain of $36 ($27, net of tax) is expected to be reclassified to earnings for commodity and foreign exchange contracts. No material amounts were reclassified during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 in connection with anticipated transactions that were considered probable of not occurring.

Contracts Not Designated as Hedges

Certain derivative financial instruments, including foreign exchange contracts related to intercompany debt, trade accounts receivable and payable and unrecognized firm commitments 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 months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded a gain of $19 ($15, net of tax) and a loss of $43 ($33, 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. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, cumulative gains of $14 ($41, net of tax) and losses of $5 ($27, net of tax) were recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income related to these net investment hedges. The carrying amount of the hedging instrument was approximately €1,011 ($1,168) at March 31, 2026.

The Company also has cross-currency swaps with an aggregate notional value of $600 designated as hedges of the Company's net investment in a euro-based subsidiary. These swaps mature in 2030 and reduced interest expense by $2 for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The Company also had cross-currency swaps with an aggregate notional value of $875 that matured in February 2026, resulting in a loss of $45 ($34, net of tax), included in accumulated other comprehensive income. These swaps reduced interest expense by $2 and $7 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

The following tables set forth financial information about the impact on accumulated other comprehensive income from changes in the fair value of derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges.

Gains and losses representing components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness on derivatives designated as net investment hedges are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Gains or losses on net investment hedges remain in accumulated other comprehensive income until disposal of the underlying assets.

	2026		2025
Revenue recognized over time	$	1,890	$	1,680
Revenue recognized at a point in time	1,369		1,207
Total revenue	$	3,259	$	2,887

See Note R for further disaggregation of the Company's revenue.

The Company has applied the practical expedient to exclude disclosure of remaining performance obligations as its binding orders typically have a term of one year or less.

Crown Holdings, Inc.

Contract assets are typically recognized for work in process related to the Company's three-piece printed products and equipment business. Contract assets and liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis. The Company had net contract assets of $36 and $30 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, included in prepaid and other current assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company satisfied performance obligations related to contract assets at December 31, 2025 and also recorded new contract assets primarily related to work in process for the equipment business.

Q. Earnings Per Share

The following table summarizes the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to the Company.


	Three Months Ended

Diluted earnings per share	$	1.56	$	1.65

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, 0.28 million and 0.12 million contingently issuable common shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

R. 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, provisions for restructuring and other and the impact of fair value adjustments related to inventory acquired in an acquisition. Segment income includes cost of products sold, depreciation and general selling and administrative expenses. 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 tables below present information about the Company's operating segments.

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 months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 2025 and changes in financial condition and liquidity from December 31, 2025. 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, 2025, along with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in and referred to within this report.

Business Strategy and Trends

The Company's strategy is to maximize long-term shareholder value by pursuing profitable growth opportunities while returning cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

Global industry demand for beverage cans has been growing in recent years in North America, Brazil and Europe. Growth has been driven by new product introductions, customer and consumer focus on the sustainability benefits of aluminum and population and GDP growth in many markets. To meet such demand, the Company made long-term investments of at least $2,000 for new manufacturing facilities and additional production lines in existing facilities since 2019. Capital spending to support our growth objectives is estimated at $550 in 2026.

The Company's strategy is anchored by strong cash flow generation and a healthy balance sheet with a long-term net leverage target of 2.5x adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure). The Company believes it has the flexibility and resources to fund growth, repay debt and return excess cash flow to shareholders. On July 25, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an aggregate amount of $2,000 of the Company's common stock through the end of 2027. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had approximately $1,100 remaining that may yet be purchased under the program.

The Company continues to actively elevate its commitment to sustainability, which is a core focus of the Company. In 2020, the Company introduced Twentyby30, a robust program that outlines twenty measurable, science based, environmental, social and governance goals to be completed by 2030. The Company was honored as one of Forbes' Net Zero Leaders for 2025, a recognition that reflects the commitment and hard work of the global organization, driving meaningful and consistent progress toward the Company's sustainability goals.

The Company continues to actively manage the challenges of supply chain disruptions, foreign exchange, interest rate fluctuations, and inflationary pressures, including increasing costs for raw materials, energy and transportation. Additionally, tariffs, retaliatory trade measures and further trade restrictions could result in higher raw material costs and a wide range of possible outcomes including impacts on consumers and industrial activity. 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 indices. 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, under the heading "Results of Operations" below.

To date the war between Russia and Ukraine and the conflicts in the Middle East, including the war in Iran, have not had a direct material impact on the Company's business, financial condition, or results of operations.

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 the British pound in the Company's European Beverage segment, and the Thai baht in the Company's Asia Pacific segment. The Company's Transit

Crown Holdings, Inc.

Packaging segment is a global business and the foreign currency translation impacts referred to in the discussion below are primarily related to the euro, the Indian rupee, the Swedish krona, and the Mexican peso.

The Company calculates the impact of foreign currency translation by dividing current year U.S. dollar results by the current year average foreign exchange rates and then multiplying those amounts by the applicable prior year average exchange rates.

Net Sales and Segment Income


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2026		2025
Net sales	$	3,259	$	2,887

Net sales increased primarily due to $234 from the pass-through of higher material costs, 5% higher beverage volumes, and favorable foreign currency translation of $74.

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 growth in recent years due to the introduction of new beverage products in cans versus other packaging formats. In Brazil and Mexico, the Company's 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. In May 2025, the Company announced it will add a new high-speed production line to its beverage can plant in Ponta Grossa, Brazil. The line is expected to commence commercial production in late 2026.

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


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2026		2025
Net sales	$	1,530	$	1,320
Segment income	210		236

Net sales increased primarily due to $184 from the pass-through of higher aluminum costs.

Segment income decreased primarily due to higher costs not recovered and 5% lower beverage can volumes in Brazil.

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 consumer focus on sustainability benefits of aluminum and a market shift to cans versus other packaging formats. To meet volume requirements, the Company plans to add additional line capacity in Korinthos, Greece and Agoncillo, Spain in late 2026. In April 2026, the Company announced plans to construct a new two-line, high-speed beverage can plant in Northern India. This plant is expected to commence operations in the second half of 2027.

Net sales	$	588	$	512
Segment income	86		67

Net sales increased primarily due to 7% higher volumes and favorable foreign currency translation of $36.

Segment income increased primarily due to higher volumes and favorable foreign currency translation of $5.

Asia Pacific

The Company's Asia Pacific segment consists of beverage can operations in Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam and non-beverage can operations, primarily food cans and specialty packaging. Historically, growth in the beverage can market in Southeast Asia has been driven by increased per capita incomes and consumption, combined with an increased preference for cans over other forms of beverage packaging. In recent years, the Asia Pacific beverage can market has experienced some softness as the region struggles with the effects of higher inflation and interest rates.

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

Net sales	$	303	$	279
Segment income	52		47

Net sales increased primarily due to 17% higher volumes and favorable foreign currency translation of $7.

Segment income increased primarily due to higher volumes.

Transit Packaging

The Company's Transit Packaging segment includes the Company's worldwide automation and equipment technologies, protective packaging solutions, and steel and plastic consumables. Automation and equipment technologies include manual, semi-automatic, and automatic equipment and tools, which are primarily used in end-of-line operations to apply and remove consumables such as strap and film. Protective solutions include standard and purpose designed products, such as airbags, edge protectors, and honeycomb products, among others, that help prevent movement of, and/or damage to, a wide range of industrial and consumer goods during transport. Steel and plastic consumables include steel strap, plastic strap, industrial film, and other related products that are used across a wide range of industries.

This segment may be subject to direct and indirect effects from tariffs which may slow consumer and industrial activity, the impact of which cannot be reasonably predicted. The Company will continue to monitor these conditions, including potential actions to mitigate their impact. This economic uncertainty could affect projected future financial performance and may require a quantitative goodwill impairment test in the future to determine if an impairment charge is necessary.

Net sales and Segment income in the Transit Packaging segment were as follows:

Segment income	53		60

Crown Holdings, Inc.

Other

Other includes the Company's North America tinplate businesses: food can, aerosol can, and closures, and beverage tooling and equipment operations in the U.S. and U.K.

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2026		2025
Net sales	$	342	$	294
Segment income	47		29

Net sales increased primarily due to $37 from the pass-through of higher tinplate costs and higher sales in the Company's beverage can equipment operations.

Segment income increased primarily due to increased profitability in the Company's North America tinplate businesses due to commercial and operational improvements with 3% volume growth in North American food cans and higher sales in the Company's beverage can equipment operations.

Corporate and unallocated

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


	Three Months Ended

Corporate and unallocated expenses were relatively flat for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 2025.

Restructuring and other, net

Restructuring and other was relatively flat for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 2025.

The Company continues to review its cost structure and may record additional restructuring charges in the future.

Taxes on income

The Company's effective income tax rates were as follows:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2026			2025
Income before taxes and equity in net earnings of affiliates	$	275		$	272
Provision for income taxes	70			46
Effective income tax rate	25.5		%	16.9		%

Crown Holdings, Inc.

The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 2025, was primarily due to an income tax benefit of $22 recorded in the first quarter of 2025 after an internal reorganization which resulted in the release of deferred tax liabilities related to the foreign currency impact of certain intercompany debt instruments that were designated as hedges of the Company's net investment in a euro-based subsidiary.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted tax reform, commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"). OBBBA is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial results for 2026.

Effective January 1, 2024, various jurisdictions in which the Company operates have enacted the Pillar II directive which establishes a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15% initiated by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD"). The Company does not currently expect Pillar II to have a material impact on its financial results, including its annual estimated effective tax rate or liquidity for 2026 based on currently enacted tax laws. However, the Company continues to monitor developments across its jurisdictions, including any additional guidance issued by the OECD.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 2025, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased from $34 to $31 primarily due to lower earnings in the Company's beverage can operations in Brazil.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities

Cash used for operating activities increased from an inflow of $14 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to an outflow of $54 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to changes in working capital.

Days sales outstanding for trade receivables, excluding the impact of unbilled receivables, decreased from 31 days as of March 31, 2025 to 30 days as of March 31, 2026.

Inventory turnover decreased from 57 days at March 31, 2025 to 55 days at March 31, 2026.

Days outstanding for trade payables decreased from 87 days at March 31, 2025 to 86 days at March 31, 2026.

Investing Activities

Cash used for investing activities increased from an inflow of $1 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to an outflow of $97 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to increased capital expenditures and $45 settlement of cross-currency swaps that matured in February 2026.

The Company currently expects capital expenditures in 2026 to be approximately $550.

Financing Activities

Cash used for financing activities decreased from $153 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $29 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to increased borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facilities, partially offset by $96 of payments for assets financed in 2025. The Company expects cash receipts from financed assets at the end of 2026.

Liquidity

As of March 31, 2026, $518 of the Company's $584 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., $254 was held by subsidiaries for which earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested.

Crown Holdings, Inc.

The Company's revolving credit agreements provide capacity of $1,650 and as of March 31, 2026, the Company had available capacity of $1,380. The Company could have borrowed this amount at March 31, 2026 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, 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 2.57 to 1.0 at March 31, 2026 was in compliance with the covenant requiring a ratio no greater than 4.5 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.

In order to reduce leverage and future interest payments, the Company may from time to time repurchase outstanding notes and debentures with cash or seek to refinance its existing credit facilities and other indebtedness. The Company will evaluate any such transactions in light of any required premiums and then existing market conditions and may or may not pursue such transactions.

The Company's current sources of liquidity also include a securitization facility with a program limit up to a maximum of $800 that expires in July 2027 and securitization facilities with program limits of $230 and $180 that expire in November 2027.

The Company utilizes its cash flows from operations, borrowings under its revolving credit facilities and the acceleration of cash receipts under its receivables securitization and factoring programs to primarily fund its operations, capital expenditures and financing obligations.

Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had approximately $261 of capital commitments primarily related to Americas Beverage and European 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, 2025, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information

The Company and certain of its 100% directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries provide guarantees of senior notes and debentures issued by other 100% directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries. These senior notes and debentures are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and substantially all of its subsidiaries in the United States, except in the case of the Company's outstanding 7.50% senior notes due 2096 issued by Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc., which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Crown Holdings, Inc.

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 J, 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.

Crown Holdings, Inc.

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.

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, 2025 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 I and commitments and contingencies in Note J 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, 2025, which are not historical facts (including any statements concerning the conflicts in the Middle East, including the war in Iran, southeast Asia and the Russia-Ukraine war, objectives of management for share repurchases, dividends, future operations or economic performance, or assumptions related thereto, including the potential for higher interest rates, energy and raw material prices, including tariffs, retaliatory trade measures and further trade restrictions), 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, 2025 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

Crown Holdings, Inc.

Company's use of derivative instruments and their fair values at March 31, 2026, see Note K to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $2.1 billion principal floating interest rate debt and $1.4 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.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The information set forth in this report should be read in conjunction with the risk factors discussed in Item 1A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Such risks are not the only risks facing the Company.
