    TAMPA, FL, Nov. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Primo Water Corporation (NYSE:PRMW) (TSX:PRMW) (the "Company" or "Primo Water"), a leading provider of sustainable drinking water solutions in North America, today announced its results for the third quarter ended September 28, 2024.

    "Once again, we had a fantastic quarter, exceeding revenue and volume expectations across our core water channels. Revenue growth was driven by both volume and pricing, leading to earnings growth and margin expansion across our business. Our focus on the 'must-wins' of delivering exceptional customer service, being the water solutions partner of choice, and providing operational excellence continues to drive growth and creates value for our stakeholders," said Robbert Rietbroek, Chief Executive Officer.

    "Turning to our planned business combination the Transaction with BlueTriton, earlier this week we were granted a final order approving the Transaction from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, and our shareowners also overwhelmingly approved the Transaction. Subject to certain customary closing conditions, we anticipate the closing will occur on or about November 8, 2024, and as part of the rollout of the new company, we announced earlier this week the new combined company's name, Primo Brands, and new ticker symbol of 'PRMB', which we expect will begin trading on the NYSE as early as Monday, November 11, 2024. The closing of the transaction will mark an exciting new chapter as we bring together the strengths of both legacy companies. I am pleased with the tremendous progress we've made in shaping the future of Primo Brands. Our teams have been intensely focused on ensuring we 'hit the ground running' post-close. We have established integration planning working groups across both organizations to identify opportunities, build an optimized structure, and unlock synergies throughout the combined business," continued Mr. Rietbroek.

     (Unless stated otherwise, all third quarter 2024 comparisons are relative to the third quarter of 2023; all information is in U.S. dollars. Non-GAAP reconciliations presented on the exhibits to this press release)

    THIRD QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS - CONTINUING OPERATIONS

    • Revenue increased 8.8% to $511 million compared to $470 million driven by revenue growth with 5.0% of the growth attributable to volume and 3.8% attributable to pricing. Contribution from organic growth was 7.4% for the quarter. Revenue growth by channel includes 8.0% in Water Direct / Water Exchange, 7.1% in Water Refill / Water Filtration and 102.2% in Other Water, which is primarily Mountain Valley Spring water sold at retail and on-premise.
    • Gross profit increased 9.1% to $331 million compared to $303 million. Gross margin increased 20 bps to 64.7% compared to 64.5%, driven by pricing, increased volume and operating efficiencies.
    • SG&A expenses increased 7.1% to $262 million compared to $245 million. The increase was driven by higher selling and operating costs that supported volume and revenue growth.
    • Reported net income and net income per diluted share were $38 million and $0.24, respectively, compared to reported net income and net income per diluted share of $34 million and $0.21, respectively. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share were $56 million and $0.35, respectively, compared to $39 million and $0.24, respectively.
    • Adjusted EBITDA increased 11.4% to $125 million compared to $112 million, driven by pricing initiatives, customer demand and effective expense management. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 24.4%, compared to 23.8%.
    • Net cash provided by operating activities of $91 million, less $36 million of capital expenditures and additions to intangible assets, resulted in $55 million of free cash flow, or $60 million of adjusted free cash flow (adjusting for the items set forth on Exhibit 6), compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $127 million and adjusted free cash flow of $93 million in the prior year.

    ABOUT PRIMO WATER CORPORATION

    Primo Water is a leading North America-focused pure-play water solutions provider that operates largely under a recurring revenue model in the large format water category (defined as 3 gallons or greater). This business strategy is commonly referred to as "razor-razorblade" because the initial sale of a product creates a base of users who frequently purchase complementary consumable products. The razor in Primo Water's revenue model is its industry leading line-up of innovative water dispensers, which are sold through approximately 11,700 retail locations and online at various price points. The dispensers help increase household and business penetration which drives recurring purchases of Primo Water's razorblade offering or water solutions. Primo Water's razorblade offering is comprised of Water Direct, Water Exchange, and Water Refill. Through its Water Direct business, Primo Water delivers sustainable hydration solutions direct to customers, whether at home or to businesses. Through its Water Exchange business, customers visit retail locations and purchase a pre-filled bottle of water. Once consumed, empty bottles are exchanged at our recycling center displays, which provide a ticket that offers a discount toward the purchase of a new bottle. Water Exchange is available in approximately 18,100 retail locations. Through its Water Refill business, customers refill empty bottles at approximately 23,500 self-service refill drinking water stations. Primo Water also offers water filtration units across North America.

    Primo Water's water solutions expand consumer access to purified, spring, and mineral water to promote a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle while simultaneously reducing plastic waste and pollution. Primo Water is committed to its water stewardship standards and is proud to partner with the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) in North America which ensures strict adherence to safety, quality, sanitation and regulatory standards for the benefit of consumer protection.

    Primo Water is headquartered in Tampa, Florida (USA). For more information, visit www.primowatercorp.com.

    Non-GAAP Measures

    To supplement its reporting of financial measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), Primo Water utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures.  Primo Water utilizes organic revenue growth (which excludes the impact of acquisitions). Primo Water also utilizes Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to separate the impact of certain items from the underlying business.  Because Primo Water 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 Water's underlying business performance and the performance of its management.  Additionally, Primo Water 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 and additions to intangible assets to present free cash flow, and by excluding the additional 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 Primo Water's performance to the performance of the Company's peer group and assessing the Company's ability to service debt and finance strategic opportunities, which include investing in Primo Water's business, making strategic acquisitions, paying dividends, and strengthening the balance sheet.  The non-GAAP financial measures described above are in addition to, and not meant to be considered superior to, or a substitute for, Primo Water'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.

    1 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.

    2 For the periods presented, the non-GAAP diluted weighted average common shares outstanding equaled the reported diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.
