The ODP Corporation (“ODP,” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:ODP), a leading provider of products, services, and technology solutions to businesses and consumers, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 28, 2025.

Second Quarter 2025 Summary⁽¹⁾⁽³⁾

• Total reported sales of $1.6 billion, down 8% versus the prior year period on a reported basis. The decrease in reported sales is largely related to lower sales in its Office Depot Division, primarily due to 60 fewer retail locations in service compared to the previous year and reduced retail and online consumer traffic, as well as lower sales in its ODP Business Solutions Division, despite improving year-over-year comparable revenue trends
• GAAP operating income of $9 million versus $400 thousand in the prior year period. Net income from continuing operations and net diluted earnings per share was break even in the second quarter of 2025 compared to net loss from continuing operations of $4 million, or $(0.12) per diluted share, in the prior year period. GAAP operating results in the second quarter of 2025 included $16 million of charges of which $12 million is related to the Company’s Optimize for Growth restructuring plan
• Adjusted operating income of $25 million, compared to $33 million in the second quarter of 2024; adjusted EBITDA of $47 million, compared to $57 million in the second quarter of 2024
• Adjusted net income from continuing operations of $15 million, or adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.51, versus $20 million or $0.56, respectively, in the prior year period
• Operating cash flow from continuing operations of $16 million and adjusted free cash flow of $13 million, versus $(1) million and $5 million, respectively, in the prior year period
• $658 million of total available liquidity including $177 million in cash and cash equivalents at quarter end

“Our team’s disciplined execution and focus on operational excellence resulted in another quarter of improved performance,” said Gerry Smith, Chief Executive Officer of The ODP Corporation. “During the quarter, we drove improved revenue trends and delivered solid operating results, highlighted by stronger adjusted free cash flow generation. These results reflect ongoing improvements across both our consumer and B2B businesses.”

“In our consumer segment, we meaningfully improved same-store sales trends versus last year, underscoring the effectiveness of our targeted sales strategies and strong value proposition. Meanwhile, in our B2B distribution business, we achieved approximately a 200-basis point improvement in year-over-year revenue trends, driven by stronger sales traction with new customers and early contributions from our expansion into the hospitality sector. Sales trends improved month over month throughout the quarter, improving our position as we head into the second half of the year.”

“On a consolidated basis, our strong performance resulted in solid adjusted EBITDA and drove adjusted free cash flow more than double last year’s level, further strengthening our balance sheet.”

“As we look to the second half of the year, we remain confident in our ability to drive continued improvement and value creation. We expect continued strength in performance in our consumer segment while driving improved revenue trends in our B2B distribution business, as we continue to onboard new customers and begin to penetrate the hospitality segment. Additionally, with our strong focus on cash, we expect to generate significantly higher adjusted free cash flow versus last year, further strengthening our foundation and balance sheet. We remain committed to executing our core strategy and delivering long-term shareholder value,” Smith added.

Consolidated Results

Reported (GAAP) Results

Total reported sales for the second quarter of 2025 were $1.6 billion, an 8% decrease compared to the same period last year, primarily reflecting lower sales in both the consumer and business-to-business (B2B) divisions. The decline in the consumer division, Office Depot, was mainly driven by 60 fewer stores in operation due to planned closures, as well as reduced retail and online consumer traffic. On a comparable store basis, sales declined 5%, representing a meaningful improvement over the 7% decrease in the prior year period. In the ODP Business Solutions Division, sales declined 6% year-over-year, primarily reflecting ongoing macroeconomic headwinds and softer enterprise spending. However, sales trends improved by approximately 200 basis points both sequentially and year-over-year, indicating positive momentum in the business. Veyer continued to deliver strong logistical support for both the ODP Business Solutions and Office Depot divisions despite lower internal sales volume, while also advancing its growth strategy by providing supply chain and procurement solutions to third-party customers and driving increases in external revenue.

The Company reported GAAP operating income of $9 million in the second quarter of 2025, up compared to $400 thousand in the prior year period. Operating results in the second quarter of 2025 included $16 million of charges primarily related to $13 million in restructuring expenses largely associated with the Optimize for Growth restructuring plan, $2 million in non-cash asset impairments of operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets associated with the Company’s retail store locations, and $1 million related to the impairment of operating lease ROU assets associated with the Company’s supply chain facilities. Net income from continuing operations and net diluted earnings per share were break even in the second quarter of 2025, up compared to net loss from continuing operations of $4 million, or $(0.12) per diluted share in the second quarter of 2024.

Adjusted (non-GAAP) Results⁽¹⁾

Adjusted results for the second quarter of 2025 exclude charges and credits totaling $16 million as described above and the associated tax impacts.

• Second quarter 2025 adjusted EBITDA was $47 million compared to $57 million in the prior year period. This included adjusted depreciation and amortization of $24 million in both the second quarter of 2025 and 2024
• Second quarter 2025 adjusted operating income was $25 million, down compared to $33 million in the second quarter of 2024
• Second quarter 2025 adjusted net income from continuing operations was $15 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, compared to $20 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of 9% on a per share basis

Division Results

ODP Business Solutions Division

Leading B2B distribution solutions provider serving small, medium and enterprise level companies with an annual trailing-twelve-month revenue of $3.5 billion.

• Reported sales for the second quarter of 2025 were $859 million, a decrease of 6% year-over-year. This result reflects an improvement in revenue trends, despite ongoing macroeconomic challenges and continued softness in enterprise demand. Sequential and year-over-year revenue trends improved by about 200 basis points, driven by ODP Business Solutions’ success in onboarding new customers, executing targeted sales initiatives, and generating incremental growth in hospitality categories
• Total adjacency category sales, including cleaning and breakroom, furniture, technology, and copy and print, were 45% of total ODP Business Solutions’ sales, representing an increase over the same period last year
• Delivered significant progress on long-term growth initiatives, accelerating expansion into new market sectors. Achieved substantial sales growth in Operating, Supplies & Equipment (OS&E) categories within the hospitality business and expanded presence in new markets helping drive increased demand for traditional product categories. Onboarded approximately one thousand new hotel properties as customers through the Company’s existing hospitality agreement. Made meaningful progress on potential new agreements with several leading hospitality management companies
• Successfully attracted new enterprise customers and continuing to build upon large pipeline for future growth, both in traditional and new industry sectors
• Operating income was $18 million in the second quarter of 2025, down compared to $29 million in the same period last year on a reported basis. EBITDA was $24 million, or 3% on a percentage of sales basis

Office Depot Division

Leading provider of retail consumer and small business products and services distributed via Office Depot and OfficeMax retail locations and eCommerce presence.

• Reported sales were $716 million in the second quarter of 2025, down 10% year-over-year, reflecting an improvement over prior year trends. Sales were impacted by 60 fewer retail locations due to planned store closures, lower demand in certain product categories, and reduced online sales. Comparable store sales declined 5%, a meaningful improvement versus the 7% decrease in the prior year period, as targeted, profitable sales strategies gained traction. The Company closed 23 retail stores during the quarter, ending with 834 retail locations
• Store and online traffic were lower year-over-year due to macroeconomic factors. However, targeted sales promotions resulted in higher average order volumes and sales per shopper, strengthening top-line results and margins
• Operating income was $12 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $17 million during the same period last year on a reported basis, driven primarily by the flow through impact from fewer stores in service and lower sales volume. As a percentage of sales, operating income was 2%, flat with the same period last year

Veyer Division

Nationwide supply chain, distribution, procurement and global sourcing operation supporting Office Depot and ODP Business Solutions, as well as third-party customers. Veyer’s assets and capabilities include 8 million square feet of infrastructure through a network of distribution centers, cross-docks, and other facilities throughout the United States; a global sourcing presence in Asia; a large private fleet of vehicles; and business next-day delivery capabilities to 98.5% of U.S. population.

• In the second quarter of 2025, Veyer provided support for its internal customers, ODP Business Solutions and Office Depot, as well as its third-party customers, generating reported sales of $1.1 billion
• Reported operating income was $10 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $5 million in the prior year period
• Growing new customer prospects resulting in expanded new business pipeline potential
• In the second quarter of 2025, sales generated from third-party customers increased by 90% compared to the same period last year, resulting in sales of $19 million. EBITDA generated from third-party customers was $5 million in the quarter, an increase of 32% compared with the prior year period

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of June 28, 2025, ODP had total available liquidity of $658 million, consisting of $177 million in cash and cash equivalents and $481 million of available credit under the Fourth Amended Credit Agreement. Total debt was $245 million.

For the second quarter of 2025, cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations increased to $16 million, which included $9 million in restructuring spend, compared to cash used by operating activities of continuing operations of $1 million in the second quarter of the prior year, which included $25 million in restructuring spend. The year-over-year increase in operating cash flow is primarily related to operational discipline including strong cash conversion, as well as prudent working capital management helping to offset the impact of lower sales.

Capital expenditures were $12 million in the second quarter of 2025 versus $19 million in the prior year period, as the Company continued to prioritize capital investments towards B2B growth opportunities supporting its supply chain operations, distribution network, and digital capabilities. Adjusted Free Cash Flow⁽³⁾ was $13 million in the second quarter of 2025, up compared to $5 million in the prior year period.

“Our team’s focus on operational discipline and cash conversion helped us generate $13 million in adjusted free cash flow for the quarter—a 160% increase over last year,” said Adam Haggard, co-CFO of The ODP Corporation. “The changes we are making to our business model have resulted in stronger cash generation year-to-date and have helped us pay down approximately $35 million in debt so far this year, further strengthening our balance sheet. We remain committed to disciplined capital allocation in our core business, while pursuing higher growth opportunities in our traditional segments and in attractive new industries like hospitality. We are also sharpening our focus on inventory management opportunities which we expect will enhance future cash generation. We believe this strategy positions ODP to maximize cash flow and provides a pathway for long term sustainable growth and value creation.”

Hospitality Industry Progress

As previously announced, ODP Business Solutions has formed a strategic partnership with one of the world’s largest hotel management organizations, becoming a preferred provider for OS&E. This agreement positions ODP as a reliable distribution partner, supporting the recurring in-room hotel supply needs of its over 15,000 members. This partnership underscores ODP’s evolution beyond office supplies and highlights its ability to deliver tailored solutions to businesses in the hospitality, healthcare, and adjacent sectors.

The Company continues to make solid progress in expanding its presence within the hospitality sector, leveraging strategic relationships with leading suppliers, including Sobel Westex and Hunter Amenities, broadening access to a diverse range of premium products and elevating service for hospitality clients. During the quarter, ODP Business Solutions added key leadership and sales talent with significant prior hospitality experience and success. Additionally, the Company onboarded approximately one thousand new properties under its current agreement, which will help drive longer term growth. In the initial phase of its launch, the Company is seeing solid early demand for its OS&E product offering, resulting in robust month-over-month growth in hospitality categories in the quarter. Furthermore, the expanded product assortment is driving increased sales of traditional office products among hospitality customers.

The Company is also actively engaged in discussions with several additional major hospitality organizations to become a primary supplier of OS&E products for both company-owned and franchised locations.

“We are very encouraged by the early momentum we are seeing as we enter the hospitality market segment,” said Gerry Smith. “Our progress demonstrates strong demand for our hospitality solutions and the high-touch, reliable service that supports them. Furthermore, this expanded offering is driving increased interest in our traditional office products among hospitality customers. We are rapidly onboarding new customers in this segment and are actively pursuing opportunities to further expand our reach in the sector, making progress on discussions with several additional leading hospitality management companies. We believe the progress we are making will be reflected in our future results and will further strengthen our foundation for long-term, profitable growth.”

“Optimize for Growth” B2B Revenue Acceleration Plan

In the second quarter of 2025, the Company advanced its “Optimize for Growth” restructuring plan, an initiative aimed at reducing fixed-cost infrastructure while leveraging core strengths to accelerate growth in B2B market segments. This includes expansion into new enterprise verticals such as hospitality, healthcare, and other adjacent sectors.

In connection with this plan in the second quarter of 2025, the Company recognized $12 million of restructuring expense primarily related to severance costs and the closure of 23 retail stores, three distribution facilities, and one satellite location. In total, over the multi-year life of the plan, the Company expects to incur costs in the range of $185 million to $230 million, which we anticipate will generate approximately $380 million in EBITDA improvement and generate over $1.3 billion in total value.

Commentary Regarding 2025 Outlook

For the second half of the year, the Company expects to deliver continued improvement in performance, driven by:

• Top-line trend improvement at ODP Business Solutions in the second half of 2025, driven by improved performance in traditional product categories and expansion into hospitality
• Continued robust results in the consumer business, Office Depot, supporting strong cash generation throughout the second half of the year
• Generation of over $115 million in adjusted free cash flow for the full year 2025, as the Company executes its strategy and sharpens its focus on working capital management

Estimated Adjusted Free Cash Flow for the full year 2025 is a non-GAAP measure. This measure excludes charges not indicative of core operations, such as cash charges associated with its Optimize for Growth plan and other significant items that currently cannot be predicted without unreasonable efforts. The exact amount of these charges are not currently determinable but may be significant. Accordingly, the Company is unable to provide an equivalent GAAP measure or reconciliations from GAAP to non-GAAP for Adjusted Free Cash Flow for the full year 2025.

“We are encouraged by our improved performance and progress in the first half of the year and we remain optimistic about driving further improvements to areas of our business in the second half,” added Smith. “Our outlook considers stable macroeconomic and business conditions. Additionally, while we are not immune from changes in the evolving tariff landscape, we believe that we are well positioned to adjust as necessary to limit potential impacts to our business.”

“We remain committed to executing our core strategy and capitalizing on the many opportunities ahead. By leveraging our strong asset base, we are driving growth in our core B2B business and expanding into higher-growth industries such as hospitality. At the same time, we are maximizing value and cash generation in our consumer business and reducing our fixed cost infrastructure, which we expect will positively impact margins in future years. Overall, we are strengthening our foundation and improving our positioning to drive future profitable growth and cash flow generation,” Smith added.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations

(Unaudited)

We report our results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). We also review certain financial measures excluding impacts of transactions that are not related to our core operations (“non-GAAP”). Management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures enhances the ability of its investors to analyze trends in its business and provides a means to compare periods that may be affected by various items that might obscure trends or developments in its business. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures to assist in making business decisions and assessing overall performance. Non-GAAP measures help to evaluate programs and activities that are intended to attract and satisfy customers, separate from expenses and credits directly associated with Merger, restructuring, and certain similar items. Certain non-GAAP measures are also used for short and long-term incentive programs.

Our measurement of these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from similarly titled financial measures used by others and therefore may not be comparable. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to the GAAP measures, but only to clarify some information and assist the reader. We have included reconciliations of this information to the most comparable GAAP measures in the tables included within this material.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure, which we define as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures and changes in restricted cash. We believe that free cash flow is an important indicator that provides additional perspective on our ability to generate cash to fund our strategy and expand our distribution network. Adjusted free cash flow is also a non-GAAP measure, which we define as free cash flow excluding cash charges and credits not indicative of core operations. For this release these cash charges and credits include restructuring costs associated with Optimize for Growth, Project Core, and Maximize B2B programs.
