FIRST QUARTER GLOBAL PERFORMANCE – CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Revenue increased 1% to $478 million compared to $474 million (decreased by 1% excluding the impact of foreign exchange). The increase is due primarily to the benefit of a full period from the legacy Primo acquisition and increased demand for products and services from residential customers, partially offset by lower revenue from coffee services and the Water Direct commercial customer base. Revenue growth by channel is tabulated below:

	For the Three Months Ended
(in millions of U.S. dollars)	April 3, 2021		March 28, 2020		Change		%Change
Revenue, net
Water Direct/Water Exchange	$	287.6	$	295.2	$	(7.6)	-3%

Water Dispensers	15.0		5.9		9.1		154%
Other	66.5		86.9		(20.4)		-23%
Revenue, net as reported	$	478.4	$	474.2	$	4.2	1%
Foreign exchange impact	(8.1)		-		(8.1)		n/a
Revenue excluding foreign exchange impact	$	470.3	$	474.2	$	(3.9)	-1%

Gross profit decreased 3% to $265 million compared to $273 million. Gross margin was 55.3% compared to 57.6%, due to lower volume driving higher per unit cost of sales.
SG&A expenses decreased 3% to $248 million compared to $255 million. The decrease was driven by lower SG&A resulting from cost reduction initiatives implemented in response to COVID 19 and synergy capture, partially offset by the addition of the legacy Primo business.
Reported net loss and net loss per diluted share were $10 million and $0.06, respectively, compared to reported net loss and net loss per diluted share of $27 million and $0.19, respectively. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share were $9 million and $0.06, respectively, compared to adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share of $11 million and $0.08, respectively.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 8% to $76 million compared to $70 million. The increase was driven primarily by increased demand for products and services from residential customers, continued operating leverage improvement, the legacy Primo acquisition and synergy realization. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased by 110 basis points to 15.9%.
Net cash provided by operating activities of $29 million, less $27 million of capital expenditures, resulted in $2 million of free cash flow, or $8 million of adjusted free cash flow (adjusting for the items set forth on Exhibit 7), compared to adjusted free cash flow of ($5) million in the prior year.

FIRST QUARTER REPORTING SEGMENT PERFORMANCE – CONTINUING OPERATIONS

North America

Revenue increased 4% to $366 million driven by the benefit of a full period from the legacy Primo acquisition and increased demand for products and services from residential customers, partially offset by lower revenue from our Water Direct commercial customer base and coffee services.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement its reporting of financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, Primo utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures. Primo excludes from GAAP revenue the impact of foreign exchange to separate its impact from Primo's results of operations. Primo utilizes adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA to separate the impact of certain items from the underlying business. Because Primo uses these adjusted financial results in the management of its business, management believes this supplemental information is useful to investors for their independent evaluation and understanding of Primo's underlying business performance and the performance of its management. Additionally, Primo supplements its reporting of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities from continuing operations determined in accordance with GAAP by excluding additions to property, plant and equipment to present free cash flow, and by excluding the items identified on the exhibits hereto to present adjusted free cash flow, which management believes provides useful information to investors in assessing our performance, comparing our performance to the performance of our peer group and assessing our ability to service debt and finance strategic opportunities, which include investing in our business, making strategic acquisitions, paying dividends, repurchasing common shares and strengthening the balance sheet. With respect to our expectations of performance of Primo, our reconciliations of Q2 2021 and full year 2021 estimated adjusted EBITDA are not available, as we are unable to quantify certain amounts to the degree of precision that would be required in the relevant GAAP measures without unreasonable effort. These items include taxes, interest costs that would occur if the company issued debt, and costs to acquire and or sell a business if the company executed such transactions, which could significantly affect our financial results. These items depend on highly variable factors and any such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. We expect the variability of these factors to have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP financial results. The non-GAAP financial measures described above are in addition to, and not meant to be considered superior to, or a substitute for, Primo's financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this earnings announcement reflect management's judgment of particular items, and may be different from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

(a) The tax effect for adjusted net income is based upon an analysis of the statutory tax treatment and the applicable tax rate for the jurisdiction in which the pre-tax adjusting items incurred and for which realization of the resulting tax benefit (if any) is expected. A reduced or 0% tax rate is applied to jurisdictions where we do not expect to realize a tax benefit due to a history of operating losses or other factors resulting in a valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets.
(b) Includes the impact of dilutive securities of 1,887 and 1,470 for the three months ended April 3, 2021 and March 28, 2020, respectively. These dilutive securities were excluded from GAAP diluted weighted average common shares outstanding due to net loss from continuing operations reported in those periods.
