Segment operating profit dropped 11% year over year to $200 million owing to stronger U.S. dollar, decline in sales volumes, and incremental costs to commission new capacity in order to support growth.

Subject to customary closing conditions, the acquisition is anticipated to close in the second half of 2019. The company also announced the future expansion at its Gironcourt, France plant.
Outlook
For second quarter 2019, Owens-Illinois guides adjusted earnings per share at 75-80 cents. In the prior-year quarter, the company had reported earnings of 77 cents and 75 cents on a constant currency basis. Higher selling prices are anticipated to fully reflect the annual price increase initiatives by the second quarter which will help mitigate cost inflation. Earnings are likely to benefit from higher sales volumes as new capacity additions support growth in previously constrained markets. It will be further aided by ongoing cost initiatives.
The company maintained adjusted earnings per share guidance at $3.00. Compared with earnings per share of $2.72 reported in 2018, the guidance reflects year-over-year growth of 10%. However, unfavorable foreign currency impact is estimated to be 8 cents per share headwind to earnings in 2019. Nevertheless, volume growth, improved pricing and cost performance augmented by strategic initiatives will drive earnings growth. Cash provided by continuing operations is expected at $740 million and adjusted free cash flow is estimated at around $400 million.
