Consolidated Results
Reported (GAAP) Results
Total reported sales for the third quarter of 2025 were $1.6 billion, a 9% 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 63 fewer stores in operation due to planned closures, as well as reduced retail and online consumer traffic. On a comparable store basis, sales declined 7%, representing an improvement over the 10% 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 customer spending. 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 $34 million in the third quarter of 2025, down compared to $102 million in the prior year period. Operating results in the third quarter of 2025 included $4 million of charges primarily related to $8 million in transaction and integration expenses associated with the Merger (as defined below), $5 million in non-cash asset impairments of operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets associated with the Company’s retail store locations, $2 million related to the impairment of operating lease ROU assets associated with the Company’s supply chain facilities, and $1 million related to the impairment of fixed assets. These charges were partially offset by $12 million in restructuring income primarily associated with the Optimize for Growth restructuring plan. Net income from continuing operations was $23 million, or $0.72 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2025, down compared to net income from continuing operations of $68 million, or $2.04 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2024.
Adjusted (non-GAAP) Results(1)
Adjusted results for the third quarter of 2025 exclude charges and credits totaling $4 million as described above and the associated tax impacts.
- Third quarter 2025 adjusted EBITDA was $62 million, flat with the prior year period. This included adjusted depreciation and amortization of $24 million in both the third quarter of 2025 and 2024

- Third quarter 2025 adjusted net income from continuing operations was $36 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, compared to $24 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 61% on a per share basis
Division Results

- Reported sales for the third quarter of 2025 were $862 million, a decrease of 6% year-over-year. This result reflects an improvement in revenue trends compared to the prior year period, despite ongoing macroeconomic challenges and continued softness in enterprise demand. 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 sector

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 $749 million in the third quarter of 2025, down 13% year-over-year, reflecting an improvement over prior year trends. Sales were impacted by 63 fewer retail locations due to planned store closures, lower demand in certain product categories, and reduced online sales. Comparable store sales declined 7%, an improvement versus the 10% decrease in the prior year period, as targeted, profitable sales strategies gained traction. The Company closed 12 retail stores during the quarter, ending with 822 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, which supported top-line results and margins
- Operating income was $31 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $23 million during the same period last year on a reported basis. As a percentage of sales, operating income was 4%, increase of 140 basis points from the same period last year

Veyer’s assets and capabilities include 7 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; and business next-day delivery capabilities to 98.5% of U.S. population.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of September 27, 2025, ODP had total available liquidity of $730 million, consisting of $182 million in cash and cash equivalents and $548 million of available credit under the Fourth Amended Credit Agreement. Total debt was $148 million.
For the third quarter of 2025, cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations increased to $90 million, which included $10 million in restructuring spend, compared to $81 million in the third quarter of the prior year, which included $10 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 third quarter of 2025 versus $22 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 $89 million in the third quarter of 2025, up compared to $68 million in the prior year period.
“Optimize for Growth” B2B Revenue Acceleration Plan
In the third 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.
As part of this plan in the third quarter of 2025, the Company recognized $13 million of restructuring income primarily related to a $17 million gain on disposal of an owned distribution facility. The Company closed 12 retail stores, 15 satellite locations and one distribution facility. 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.
