Newell Brands reported third‑quarter 2025 revenue of $1.81 billion, a 7.2% decline from the $1.94 billion earned in the same period last year and the lowest level in the last 12 quarters. The decline follows a downward trend from $1.90 billion in Q3 2024 and $1.95 billion in Q3 2023.
Diluted earnings per share were 5 cents, below the consensus estimate of 12 cents, while adjusted EPS was 17 cents, short of the 18 cents forecast. Management attributed the miss primarily to tariff‑related costs, inflationary pressure on raw materials, and volume declines, rather than a one‑time restructuring charge.
The company lowered its full‑year 2025 EPS guidance to a range of $0.56 to $0.60 per share, down from the previous $0.70 to $0.75 range. The guidance reflects the impact of higher tariff costs, softer demand, and the company’s focus on cost discipline and tariff‑advantaged manufacturing.
Segment performance showed Home & Commercial Solutions net sales of $942 million with core sales down 9.8%, Learning & Development net sales of $681 million with core sales down 5.6%, and Outdoor & Recreation net sales of $183 million with core sales down 0.9%.
Tariff costs increased incremental cash outlays to $180 million for fiscal 2025, contributing to margin compression. The company is investing in innovation and brand building while pursuing productivity initiatives to mitigate these headwinds.
Financially, Newell Brands’ net debt stood at $4.8 billion at the end of Q3 2025, down from $5.0 billion in Q3 2024. Year‑to‑date operating cash flow was $103 million, a decline from $346 million in the prior year, reflecting the combined effects of lower sales and higher tariff costs.
