LAKE FOREST, Ill., Nov. 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pactiv Evergreen Inc. ("Pactiv Evergreen" or the "Company") today reported results for the third quarter of 2023. Michael King, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pactiv Evergreen, said, "I am proud of our team's performance during the third quarter. The Company continued to execute at a high level, while managing costs and making further progress on its transformational journey. We have made significant progress on the Beverage Merchandising Restructuring during the year, including the closure of our Canton mill and our Olmsted Falls, Ohio converting facility and the reorganization of our management structure. These are important steps to enhance our position as a market-leading North American food and beverage packaging company. While the macroeconomic environment remains uncertain, the actions we have taken to improve our cost structure, coupled with the resilience of our business model, allowed us to generate solid free cash flow and drive increased value for our shareholders."

Jon Baksht, Chief Financial Officer of Pactiv Evergreen, added, "We continue to prioritize the strengthening of our balance sheet. Our ability to generate strong cash flows from operating activities and free cash flow underpins our commitment to reduce our outstanding borrowings and invest in future growth opportunities. Specifically, management set a target earlier this year to improve our Net Leverage Ratio¹ to the low 4s by year end. I am pleased to share that we improved our Net Leverage Ratio¹ to 4.2x as of September 30, 2023, delivering against our target and creating momentum heading into year end. In addition, we are focused on optimizing our working capital levels and are on track to deliver solid free cash flow for 2023."

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 the second quarter of 2023, the Company ceased operations at its Canton, North Carolina mill and its converting facility in Olmsted Falls, Ohio and production from the Olmsted Falls facility was reallocated to other sites. In addition, effective April 1, 2023, the Company reorganized its management structure by combining its Beverage Merchandising and Food Merchandising businesses. During the third quarter, the Company continued to explore strategic alternatives related to its Pine Bluff, Arkansas mill and Waynesville, North Carolina facility.

The Company incurred $5 million of non-cash charges during the third quarter of 2023 (year-to-date: $315 million) and currently expects to incur total non-cash charges in the range of $325 million to $330 million. 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 $27 million of cash-based charges during the third quarter of 2023 (year-to-date: $120 million) 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 $150 million to $160 million.

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.

Third Quarter 2023 Results vs. Third Quarter 2022 Results

Net revenues in the third quarter of 2023 were $1,379 million compared to $1,609 million in the third quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the closure of our Canton, North Carolina mill during the second quarter of 2023, lower sales volume and unfavorable pricing due to the contractual pass-through of lower material costs. Lower sales volume was mostly due to a focus on value over volume and the market softening amid inflationary pressures within our Food and Beverage Merchandising segment.

Net income from continuing operations was $28 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2023 compared to $175 million of net income, or $0.98 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2022. The prior year period included a $239 million gain on the sale of Beverage Merchandising Asia and a $47 million pension settlement gain, partially offset by a $56 million impairment charge due to the decision to exit our remaining closures businesses. The change in net income from continuing operations was also impacted by a $57 million decrease in tax expense, largely driven by the discrete tax effect of the gain on sale in the prior year period, a $49 million increase in gross profit, mainly from lower material and transportation costs, partially offset by $28 million in current year period charges related to the Beverage Merchandising Restructuring.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $227 million and Adjusted EPS¹ was $0.32 in the third quarter of 2023 compared to $187 million and $0.13, respectively, in the third quarter of 2022. The increases in Adjusted EBITDA¹ and Adjusted EPS¹ were primarily attributable to lower material costs, net of costs passed through, and lower transportation and manufacturing costs, partially offset by the closure of our Canton, North Carolina mill.

Third Quarter 2023 Results vs. Second Quarter 2023 Results

Net revenues in the third quarter of 2023 were $1,379 million compared to $1,426 million in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease was mainly due to the closure of the Canton, North Carolina mill during the second quarter of 2023.

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, mostly due to $515 million of early repayments, and Net Debt² also declined. Net cash flow provided by operating activities and Free Cash Flow² were positive during the third quarter of 2023, inclusive of cash payments related to the Beverage Merchandising Restructuring. The Company's Board of Directors declared a third quarter 2023 dividend on October 31, 2023 of $0.10 per share of common stock, payable on December 15, 2023 to shareholders of record as of November 30, 2023.

Outlook

"The Company increased its full year 2023 Adjusted EBITDA¹ guidance to a range of $825 million to $835 million, underscoring Pactiv Evergreen's ability to drive profitable growth despite uncertainty across the broader market and industry. In addition, the Company increased its guidance for full year 2023 Free Cash Flow². We are confident in our ability to close fiscal 2023 from a position of strength and are encouraged by our current momentum and believe it provides a solid foundation as we pivot to fiscal 2024," 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, Net Debt and Net Leverage Ratio.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) from continuing operations 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, operational process engineering-related consultancy costs, business acquisition and integration costs and purchase accounting adjustments, 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 from continuing operations ("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 defines Net Leverage Ratio as Net Debt divided by the last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA.

The Company has provided herein a reconciliation of (i) net income (loss) from continuing operations to Adjusted EBITDA, (ii) diluted (loss) EPS from continuing operations 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 and Net Leverage Ratio as supplemental measures 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 these 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.
