LAKE FOREST, Ill., May 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pactiv Evergreen Inc. ("Pactiv Evergreen" or the "Company") today reported results for the first quarter of 2023. Michael King, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pactiv Evergreen, said, "The Company delivered solid performance in the face of a challenging macroeconomic environment. As expected, the Company's results were impacted by inflation-driven headwinds on consumer spending, seasonal trends and the costs associated with a scheduled cold mill outage. However, the Company maintained its disciplined pricing strategy and continued to execute against its operational targets to surpass the guidance for the quarter. The outperformance was driven by a combination of favorable mix, lower SG&A and the extension of key business within the Food Merchandising segment that was previously expected to occur in the second quarter. Overall, the Company's performance in the quarter is a testament to the breadth and resilience of Pactiv Evergreen's product offering and its dedicated employees."

Mr. King continued, "The Company has made meaningful progress on the Beverage Merchandising Restructuring plan that was announced in March with the Canton mill expected to cease production by June. The Company also has refined the estimated costs to complete the planned actions. Within its core converting operations, the Company continued to execute on its strategic priorities to improve service levels and boost productivity and efficiency, and we remain confident in our ability to grow the business and de-lever the balance sheet based on Pactiv Evergreen's position as the market-leading North American food and beverage packaging company."

Jon Baksht, Chief Financial Officer of Pactiv Evergreen, added, "Despite the near term challenges caused by elevated inflation levels, the Company continues to proactively address its capital structure and interest rate exposure. The Company repaid and repurchased $110 million of our U.S. term loans Tranche B-2 during the first quarter, bringing the cumulative debt reduction to $228 million since December 31, 2021. Not only does this reduce the Company's leverage profile, it also reduces its floating rate debt to further mitigate against future interest rate increases. As of March 31, 2023, total debt was $4,022 million and Net Debt¹ was $3,595 million, both lower than prior year and prior quarter levels."

¹ Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS and Net Debt are non-GAAP measures. Refer to their definitions in the discussion on non-GAAP financial measures and the accompanying reconciliations below.

Beverage Merchandising Restructuring Update

On March 6, 2023, the Company announced the Beverage Merchandising Restructuring, a plan to take significant restructuring actions related to its Beverage Merchandising operations. The Company expects to close its Canton, North Carolina mill and its converting facility in Olmsted Falls, Ohio with operations at both facilities expected to end during the second quarter of 2023 and production from the Olmsted Falls facility being reallocated to other sites. In addition, effective April 1, 2023, the Company reorganized its management structure by combining the Beverage Merchandising and Food Merchandising businesses. The Company also continues to explore strategic alternatives for its Pine Bluff, Arkansas mill and Waynesville, North Carolina facility. The Company has not set a timetable in relation to this process.

As a result of the closures and change in management structure, the Company incurred $123 million of non-cash charges during the first quarter of 2023 and currently expects to incur total non-cash charges in the range of $320 million to $330 million, most of which will occur during 2023. These non-cash charges are related to the acceleration of depreciation of property, plant and equipment and other non-cash charges. The Company also incurred $64 million of cash-based charges during the first quarter of 2023 related to severance and associated benefits and exit, disposal and other transition costs and currently expects to incur total cash-based charges in the range of $130 million to $160 million, mostly during 2023.

All the above estimates are provisional and include significant management judgments and assumptions that could change materially as the Company executes its plan. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and the execution of the plan could result in additional restructuring charges or impairments not reflected above.

"As we continue to execute on the Beverage Merchandising Restructuring, we remain committed to doing what's right, treating everyone with respect and delivering on all of our commitments to our people, customers, shareholders and the communities where we operate," said Mr. King.

First Quarter 2023 Results vs. First Quarter 2022 Results

Net revenues in the first quarter of 2023 were $1,431 million compared to $1,495 million in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease was due to lower sales volume and the impact from dispositions, notably the disposition of Beverage Merchandising Asia on August 2, 2022. Lower sales volume was largely due to our focus on value over volume in the Foodservice and Food Merchandising segments and the market softening amid inflationary pressures in the Beverage Merchandising and Food Merchandising segments. These decreases were partially offset by favorable pricing, due to pricing actions in the Food Merchandising and Beverage Merchandising segments and the contractual pass-through of higher material costs across all segments.

Net loss was $133 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2023 compared to $43 million of net income, or $0.24 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease was mostly due to $187 million of charges, or $1.05 per diluted share, associated with the Beverage Merchandising Restructuring and a $27 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, decrease due to the gain on the sale of Naturepak Beverage Packaging Co. Ltd ("Naturepak Beverage") in the prior year period. These decreases were partially offset by a $55 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, decrease in tax expense, mainly attributable to decreased profitability.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $189 million and Adjusted EPS¹ was $0.13 in the first quarter of 2023 compared to $182 million and $0.16, respectively, in the first quarter of 2022. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA¹ reflects favorable pricing, net of material costs passed through, and lower transportation costs, partially offset by higher manufacturing costs and lower sales volume. Higher costs included $15 million related to a scheduled cold mill outage. The decrease in Adjusted EPS¹ was partly due to an increase in interest expense, which was driven by higher interest rates on our variable rate term loans.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

The Company continues to focus on strengthening its balance sheet. Since December 31, 2022, the Company reduced its total outstanding debt, mostly due to $110 million of early repayments and repurchases, and Net Debt¹ also declined. Free Cash Flow² was positive during the first quarter of 2023, inclusive of cash payments made under our 2022 annual incentive plan. The Company's Board of Directors declared a first quarter 2023 dividend on May 5, 2023 of $0.10 per share of common stock, payable on June 15, 2023 to shareholders of record as of May 31, 2023.

*(In millions)*	As of March 31, 2023			*(In millions)*	For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023
Total outstanding debt	$	4,022		Net cash flow provided by operating activities	$	88

Net Debt¹	$	3,595		Free Cash Flow²	$	25

Outlook

"The Company has increased its full year 2023 Adjusted EBITDA¹ guidance to a range of $775 million to $800 million, underscoring Pactiv Evergreen's ability to drive profitable growth in the face of the uncertain market conditions across the industry. We are encouraged by the positive momentum from the first quarter and expect the Company's results to benefit from a seasonal uplift into the second half. This is balanced against the current macroeconomic backdrop, which we expect to remain challenging through the remainder of this year," said Mr. King.

The Company has not reconciled the non-GAAP measure Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP measure net (loss) income on a forward-looking basis in this release because the Company does not provide guidance for certain of the reconciling items on a consistent basis, including but not limited to items relating to restructuring, asset impairment and other related charges, depreciation and amortization expense, net interest expense and income taxes, which would be required to include a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net (loss) income, as the Company is unable to quantify these amounts without unreasonable efforts.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses the following financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"): Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS, Free Cash Flow and Net Debt.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income calculated in accordance with GAAP plus the sum of income tax expense (benefit), net interest expense, depreciation and amortization and further adjusted to exclude certain items, including but not limited to restructuring, asset impairment and other related charges, gains on the sale of businesses and noncurrent assets, non-cash pension income or expense, operational process engineering-related consultancy costs, business acquisition and integration costs and purchase accounting adjustments, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives, foreign exchange losses on cash and gains or losses on certain legal settlements.

The Company defines Adjusted EPS as diluted (loss) earnings per share ("EPS") calculated in accordance with GAAP adjusted for the after-tax effect of certain items, including but not limited to restructuring, asset impairment and other related charges, gains on the sale of businesses and noncurrent assets, non-cash pension income or expense, operational process engineering-related consultancy costs, business acquisition and integration costs and purchase accounting adjustments, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives, foreign exchange losses on cash and gains or losses on certain legal settlements.

The Company defines Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.

The Company defines Net Debt as the sum of current and long-term debt, less cash and cash equivalents.

The Company has provided herein a reconciliation of (i) net (loss) income to Adjusted EBITDA, (ii) diluted (loss) EPS to Adjusted EPS, (iii) net cash provided by operating activities to Free Cash Flow and (iv) total debt to Net Debt, in each case representing the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA to assist in comparing performance from period to period and as a measure of operational performance. It is a key measure used by its management team to generate future operating plans, make strategic decisions and incentivize and reward its employees. In addition, its management uses the Adjusted EBITDA of each reportable segment to evaluate its respective operating performance. Accordingly, the Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the Company's operating results in the same manner as its management and board of directors. Like Adjusted EBITDA, management believes Adjusted EPS is useful to investors, analysts and others to facilitate operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis because it excludes variations primarily caused by changes in the items noted above.

The Company presents Free Cash Flow to assist in comparing liquidity from period to period and to provide a more comprehensive view of the Company's core operations and ability to generate cash flow, and also, as with Adjusted EBITDA, to generate future operating plans, make strategic decisions and incentivize and reward its employees. The Company believes that this measure is useful to investors in evaluating cash available to service and repay debt, make other investments and pay dividends. The Company presents Net Debt as a supplemental measure to review the liquidity of its operations and measure the Company's credit position and progress toward leverage targets. The Company also believes that investors find this measure useful in evaluating its debt levels.

Non-GAAP information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our non-GAAP metrics may not be the same as or comparable to similar non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies. Because of these and other limitations, you should consider them alongside other financial performance measures, including our net income and other GAAP results. In addition, in evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS and other metrics derived from them, you should be aware that in the future the Company will incur expenses such as those that are the subject of adjustments in deriving Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS and you should not infer from our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS that our future results will not be affected by these expenses or any unusual or non-recurring items.
