LAKE FOREST, Ill., May 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pactiv Evergreen Inc. (“Pactiv Evergreen” or the “Company”) today reported results for the first quarter of 2024. Michael King, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pactiv Evergreen, said, “The first quarter presented us with a challenging business environment characterized by the cumulative effect of sustained price inflation on consumer spending and weather related disruptions. However, I am proud of our dedicated employees who remained focused on executing and delivering exceptional value to our customers, enabling us to achieve results at the high end of our guidance range for the first quarter. We continue to take decisive actions to navigate these headwinds and position our business for long-term growth. We expect that our strategy, which emphasizes innovation, operational excellence and customer service, will continue to enable us to align with industry leaders and drive volume growth. As we look to the second quarter and the remainder of the year, we believe that our resilient team, coupled with our strategic initiatives and cost initiatives, will allow us to capitalize on opportunities and deliver results for our stakeholders.”
Jon Baksht, Chief Financial Officer of Pactiv Evergreen, added, “The Company remains committed to managing costs and de-leveraging our balance sheet. On May 1, 2024, we further amended our credit agreement to increase the capacity on our revolving credit facility from $250 million to $1,100 million and extend the maturity date to May 1, 2029. We also amended the applicable interest rate and other pricing terms, including by replacing the facility fee with a lower fee on unutilized capacity. I am optimistic about the actions we are taking to mitigate costs and drive volume improvement during the second half of the year, which we believe puts the Company on track to execute on our fiscal 2024 outlook.”
Footprint Optimization Update
On February 29, 2024, the Company announced the Footprint Optimization, a strategic initiative to optimize its manufacturing and warehousing footprint that is expected to improve operating efficiency and result in meaningful cost savings beginning in 2025 and continuing beyond. The Company expects to incur capital expenditures of $40 million to $45 million, total cash restructuring charges of $50 million to $65 million and total non-cash charges of $20 million to $40 million, each primarily during 2024 and 2025, to execute our plan. The Company incurred $8 million and $2 million of cash and non-cash charges, respectively, during the first quarter of 2024.
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 legacy Beverage Merchandising operations. During 2023, the Company closed its Canton, North Carolina mill and its Olmsted Falls, Ohio converting facility and reorganized its management structure by combining its Beverage Merchandising and Food Merchandising businesses. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company continued to explore strategic alternatives related to its Pine Bluff, Arkansas mill and Waynesville, North Carolina facility. The Company expects to incur total cash and non-cash charges of approximately $160 million and approximately $330 million, respectively, the majority of which was incurred during 2023. The Company incurred $8 million and $3 million of cash and non-cash charges, respectively, during the first quarter of 2024.
These charges for the Footprint Optimization and Beverage Merchandising Restructuring include certain estimates that are provisional and include significant management judgments and assumptions that could change materially as the Company completes the execution of its plans. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and the completion of the plans could result in additional restructuring charges or impairments not reflected above.

First Quarter 2024 Results vs. First Quarter 2023 Results
Net revenues in the first quarter of 2024 were $1,252 million compared to $1,431 million in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was mostly due to the closure of our Canton, North Carolina mill during the second quarter of 2023, lower pricing due to the pass through of lower material costs and lower sales volume. Lower sales volume was mainly due to a focus on value over volume in the Food and Beverage Merchandising segment and the market softening amid inflationary pressures.
Net income was $10 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2024 compared to a net loss of $133 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2023. The change in income was impacted by a $106 million increase in gross profit, largely due to accelerated depreciation expense from the Beverage Merchandising Restructuring incurred in the prior year period, partially offset by lower sales volume in the current period for the reasons discussed above. The improved results also benefited from a $56 million decrease in restructuring charges compared to the prior period, primarily related to the Beverage Merchandising Restructuring, partially offset by the discrete tax benefit incurred in the prior period related to the aforementioned restructuring.
Adjusted EBITDA1 was $168 million and Adjusted EPS1 was $0.14 in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $189 million and $0.13, respectively, in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA1 reflects lower sales volume, lower pricing, net of material costs passed through, and higher employee-related costs, partially offset by lower manufacturing and transportation costs. Adjusted EPS1 was largely consistent with the prior year quarter.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights
The Company continues to deliver on its commitment to strengthen its balance sheet. Since December 31, 2022, the Company reduced its total outstanding debt by $551 million, and Net Debt3 also declined. Net cash flow from operating activities and Free Cash Flow3 were negatively impacted by an increase in inventory levels during the first quarter of 2024. The Company’s Board of Directors declared a first quarter 2024 dividend on April 30, 2024 of $0.10 per share of common stock, payable on June 14, 2024 to shareholders of record as of May 31, 2024.

Outlook
“Looking ahead, we are cautiously optimistic about the macroeconomic backdrop and its potential impact on the consumer. The actions we are taking to build volume momentum, coupled with our cost improvement initiatives, give us confidence in our ability to drive progress throughout the year and deliver on our financial targets. The Company reiterates the existing range for full year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA1 guidance of $850 million to $870 million. The Company also reiterates its guidance for full year 2024 Free Cash Flow,”3 said Mr. King.
The Company has not reconciled the non-GAAP measure Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP measure net income (loss) 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 income (loss), 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 income (loss) 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 or losses on the sale of businesses and noncurrent assets, non-cash pension income or expense, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives, foreign exchange gains or 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, 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 income (loss) 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 and Chief Operating Decision Maker, who is the President and Chief Executive Officer, use 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.
