Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(in millions, except share and per share data)

Note 1 — Nature of Operations

We are a leading provider of environmentally sustainable, systems-based, product protection and end-of-line automation solutions for e-Commerce and industrial supply chains. Through our proprietary protective packaging solutions (“PPS”) systems and paper consumables, we offer a full suite of protective packaging solutions. Our business is global, with a strong presence in the United States, Europe and Asia. Throughout this report, when we refer to “Ranpak,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us,” we are referring to Ranpak Holdings Corp. and all of our subsidiaries, except where the context indicates otherwise.

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements — These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for each of the three years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 10-K”). The three months ended September 30, 2024 may be further referred to herein as the “third quarter of 2024.” The three months ended September 30, 2023 may be further referred to herein as the “third quarter of 2023.”

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X as they apply to interim financial information. Accordingly, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited but, in our opinion, include all adjustments that are necessary for a fair statement of operations and financial position for the periods presented. The interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year.

Principles of Consolidation — The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries prepared in conformity with GAAP. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All amounts are in millions, except share and per share amounts.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and such differences could be material.

Foreign Currency — The nature of business activities involves the management of various financial and market risks, including those related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We are subject to currency translation exposure because the operations of our subsidiaries are measured in their functional currency, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the subsidiary operates. Any currency balances that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the subsidiary are re-measured into the functional currency, with the resulting gain or loss recorded in the foreign currency (gains) losses in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In turn, subsidiary income statement balances that are denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars (“USD”) are translated into USD, our reporting currency, in consolidation using the average exchange rate in effect during each fiscal month during the period, with any related gain or loss recorded as foreign currency translation adjustments in other comprehensive income (loss). The assets and liabilities of subsidiaries that use functional currencies other than the USD are translated into USD in consolidation using period end exchange rates, with the effects of foreign currency translation adjustments included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Revenue Recognition — Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized using a five-step model consisting of the following: (i) identify the contract with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation. Performance obligations are satisfied when we transfer control of a good or service to a customer, which can occur over time or at a point in time. The amount of revenue recognized is

Table of Contents

Ranpak Holdings Corp.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(in millions, except share and per share data)

based on the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, including the expected value of variable consideration. The customer’s ability and intent to pay the transaction price is assessed in determining whether a contract exists with the customer. If collectability of substantially all of the consideration in a contract is not probable, consideration received is not recognized as revenue unless the consideration is nonrefundable and we no longer have an obligation to transfer additional goods or services to the customer or collectability becomes probable.

We sell our PPS products to end-users primarily through an established distributor network and direct sales to select end-users. For both customer types, the customer is granted the right to use our machine(s) for which we charge an annual or quarterly fixed fee or may waive the fee at management’s discretion. Our revenue associated with our PPS business contains (i) a non-lease component (the paper consumables) accounted for as revenue under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), and (ii) a lease component (our PPS systems) accounted for as machine lease revenue under ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). Machine lease revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the PPS systems agreements with customers, which have durations of less than one year.

In paper consumables sales for both distributor agreements and direct agreements, we have determined the contract to be a combination of the master service agreement (“MSA”) and purchase order (“PO”). The MSA contains general terms and conditions which govern the agreement, including general payment terms. Individual PO’s must be placed underneath the terms of the MSA to order specific paper products which we promise to deliver. The PO contains relevant details of the contract including the type of paper, quantity, unit price, total price, as well as payment terms and estimated delivery date. Under the MSA, multiple PO’s for one customer may be placed at or near the same time. In situations where there are multiple PO’s issued at or near the same time to the same customer, we treat each PO in combination with the MSA as a separate contract for revenue recognition purposes.

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue for paper consumables is recognized based on shipping terms, which is the point in time the customer obtains control of the promised goods. Maintenance revenue is based on a fixed fee that is recognized straight-line on the basis that the level of effort is consistent over the term of the contract.

We determine the standalone selling price for a performance obligation sold on a standalone basis. We offer rebates to customers in their contracts that are related to the amount of consumables purchased. We believe that this form of variable consideration should only be allocated to consumables because the entire amount of variable consideration relates to the customer’s purchase of and our efforts to provide consumables. We allocate a percentage of PPS paper revenue to machine lease revenue using the residual approach to estimate the standalone selling price of our PPS systems to customers. The allocation is performed based on the number of PPS systems in the field. We do not sell or transfer ownership of our PPS systems to our customers. Our lease agreements with customer for PPS systems are for one year or less and renew annually.

We have forms of variable consideration present in our contracts with customers, including rebates and other discounts. Charges for rebates and other allowances were approximately 11% and 12% of revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and approximately 11% and 13% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For all contracts that contain a form of variable consideration, we estimate at contract inception, and periodically throughout the term of the contract, what volume of goods and/or services the customer will purchase in a given period and determine how much consideration is payable to the customer or how much consideration we would be able to recover from the customer based on the structure of the type of variable consideration, using either the expected value method or the most likely amount method. In most cases, the variable consideration in contracts with customers results in amounts payable to the customer by the Company. We adjust the contract transaction price based on any changes in estimates each reporting period and perform an inception to date cumulative adjustment to the amount of revenue previously recognized. We include in the transaction price some or all of an amount of variable consideration estimated to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.

To provide Automation solution goods and services, an agreement is documented and agreed to between Ranpak and the customer. This is in the form of a proposal contract for automation machines with separate proposals for related goods and services. Typically, machines have their own proposal, and other related goods and services such as preventative maintenance, and spare parts have a separate proposal with these goods and services all detailed. These written agreements

(in millions, except share and per share data)

outline the terms and conditions for respective transactions between us and our customers and represent contracts with enforceable rights. For each type of contract, there are various levels of termination provisions for each party.

We recognize revenue from each Automation product separately, on a contract-by-contract basis (i.e., by individual machine). Each contract represents its own unit of accounting. Our Automation machines are highly customized to customer specific needs and termination is only allowed in the case of breach of contract. As such, we are entitled to all consideration from the production of the machine. We cannot sell the machine to another customer due to the level of customization and, as such, there is not an alternative use for the product produced. Because of these factors, we recognize machine revenue over time on a contract-by-contract basis using an input method, based on the percentage of costs and effort incurred to complete the construction of the machine. We also sell extended warranties, preventative maintenance services, spare parts and spare part packages related to our sale of Automation products. We recognize revenue on maintenance contracts and spare parts separately from their Automation products. Revenue for the sale of spare parts is recognized based on shipping terms, which is the point in time the customer obtains control of the promised goods. Maintenance revenue is based on a fixed fee that is recognized straight-line on the basis that the level of effort is consistent over the term of the contract.

We recognize incremental costs to obtain a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that otherwise would have been recognized is one year or less. For example, we generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the contract term is less than one year. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We elected to account for shipping and handling costs as fulfillment activities.

Sales, value-added, and other taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and therefore are excluded from revenue on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets, net — Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. Trademarks and trade names are accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets and, accordingly, are not subject to amortization. We review goodwill on a reporting unit basis and indefinite-lived assets for impairment annually on October 1st and on an interim basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets may be impaired.

As of September 30, 2024, there were no indicators to suggest that it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting units and indefinite-lived assets were below their carrying values.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards — In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280). This ASU is intended to improve financial reporting by providing additional disclosures regarding a company’s segment expenses and more detailed and timely segment information reporting throughout the fiscal period. The amendment requires companies to disclose, on an interim and annual basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Making (“CODM”), report an “other segment items” category which represents the difference between segment revenue less the significant expenses along with a description of composition, clarify if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss, and disclose the title and position of the CODM along with an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures. All annual disclosures required by Topic 280, Segment Reporting, will also be required for all interim periods. The amendment does not change how a company identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of the future adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 31, 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which will require us to provide a tabular rate reconciliation that reconciles income tax attributable to continuing operations to the statutory federal income tax applied to our pre-tax income from continuing operations, including the nature and amount of significant reconciling items, and will require disclosure of additional disaggregated information on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 will become effective for us for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of future adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 — Supplemental Balance Sheet Data and Cash Flow Information

Cash and cash equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents include securities with original maturities of three months or less and cash in banks, and our investment in a money market account, which is classified as a cash equivalent because of its short-term, highly liquid nature that is readily convertible to cash. The balance in our money market account was approximately $45.4 million and $17.6 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The fair value of money market accounts is considered Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy because they are securities traded in active markets.

Note 4 — Segment and Geographic Information

We have determined we have two operating segments which are aggregated into one reportable segment, Ranpak. Our CODM assesses the Company’s performance and allocates resources based on the Company’s consolidated financial information. The aggregation of the two operating segments is based on the Company’s determination that the operating segments have similar economic characteristics, and are similar in all of the following areas: the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, the type or class of customer for their products or services, and the methods used to distribute their products or provide their services.The operating segments were aggregated for purposes of determining whether segments meet the quantitative threshold for separate reporting.

We attribute net revenue to individual countries based on the selling location. The following table presents our net revenue by geographic location:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023

Note 5 — Contracts with Customers

Deferred Revenue and Contract Balances — Deferred revenue primarily represents contractual amounts received from customers that exceed revenue recognized for automation equipment sales. Our enforceable contractual obligations have durations of less than one year and are included in current liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table presents our contract assets and contract liabilities as of the period ended September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:


	September 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Contract Assets	$	2.7	$	1.4
Contract Liabilities	$	4.8	$	2.0

The contract liability balance represents deferred revenue related to our automation contracts. Deferred revenue from our automation projects is recognized within twelve months.

In addition to the disaggregation of revenue between paper, machine lease, and other revenue, we also disaggregate our revenue by segment geography to assist in evaluating the nature, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows that may be impacted by economic factors:

Note 7 — Long-Term Debt

In 2019, the Company entered into a First Lien Credit Agreement (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), which consists of senior secured credit facilities of a $378.2 million USD-denominated first lien term facility (the “First Lien Dollar Term Facility”), a €140.0 million ($148.9 million equivalent) euro-denominated first lien term facility (the “First Lien Euro Term Facility” and, together with the First Lien Dollar Term Facility, the “First Lien Term Facility”) and a $45.0 million revolving facility (the “Revolving Facility” and together with the First Lien Term Facility, the “Facilities”). The First Lien Term Facility matures in June 2026 and the

Table of Contents

Ranpak Holdings Corp.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(in millions, except share and per share data)

Revolving Facility matures in June 2025. Borrowings under the Facilities, at our option, bear interest at either (1) an adjusted eurocurrency rate or the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), or (2) a base rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is 3.75% with respect to eurocurrency borrowings or SOFR borrowings, as applicable, and 2.75% with respect to base rate borrowings, in each case assuming a first lien net leverage ratio of less than 5.00:1.00, subject to a leverage-based step-up to an applicable margin equal to 4.00% for eurocurrency borrowings and SOFR borrowings, as applicable, and 3.00% with respect to base rate borrowings. The interest rate for the First Lien Dollar Term Facility as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, was 9.05% and 9.44%, respectively. The interest rate for the First Lien Euro Term Facility as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, was 7.36% and 7.86%, respectively.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Facility. The Revolving Facility includes borrowing capacity available for standby letters of credit of up to $5.0 million. As of September 30, 2024, we had $1.5 million committed to outstanding letters of credit, leaving net availability under the Revolving Facility at $43.5 million.

Long-term debt consisted of the following:


	September 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
First Lien Dollar Term Facility	$	250.0	$	250.0
First Lien Dollar Term Facility exit fees payable	2.5		2.5
First Lien Euro Term Facility	148.9		148.8
First Lien Euro Term Facility exit fees payable	1.5		1.5
Finance lease liabilities	4.2		1.9

Less: current portion of finance lease liabilities	(1.6)		(0.9)
Long-term debt	$	400.5	$	397.8

The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, representations and warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on certain of the Company’s subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional debt and liens or undergo certain fundamental changes, as well as certain financial tests and ratios. We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of September 30, 2024. The Credit Agreement also has customary mandatory prepayment provisions, including the requirement for the borrowers under the Credit Agreement to apply excess cash flow to mandatorily prepay term loans under the Credit Agreement.

The Company has recorded fees equal to 1.00% of the Facilities, or approximately $5 million, related to fees due upon repayment of the Term Loans and Revolving Loan outstanding and effective as of the time of such repayment, consistent with the terms of the Credit Agreement. These fees are included within the related balances of debt and deferred financing fees, net as of September 30, 2024. The Company evaluated the amendments to the Credit Agreement entered into during the second quarter of 2023, and determined that there were no provisions requiring bifurcation and treatment as a derivative, and that the transaction constituted a modification rather than an extinguishment.

Note 8 — Derivative Instruments

We use derivatives as part of the normal business operations to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates associated with variable interest rate debt and fluctuations in foreign currency translation associated with our global business presence.

Interest Rate Swap Agreement

Our 2.1% interest rate swap, which was entered into to hedge part of the floating interest rate exposure under the First Lien Dollar Term Facility and designated as a cash flow hedge, matured on June 1, 2024.

Cross Currency Swap Agreements

In November 2022, we entered into a fixed-to-fixed cross-currency rate swap contract between the Euro and U.S. dollar to protect the value of our investments in our foreign operations against adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates and that we designated as a hedge and accounted for as a net investment hedge (the “November 2022 Swap”). At the spot exchange rate of 1.0205, we converted notional amounts of approximately $80.0 million at 5.84% for €78.4 million at 3.95%. On May 20, 2024, we entered into a fixed-for-fixed cross currency swap in a transaction commonly referred to as a “blend-and-extend,” whereby the November 2022 Swap was effectively terminated and voluntarily de-designated, and the modified swap (the “May 2024 Swap”) converted notional amounts of $80.0 million at 5.84% for €78.4 million at 4.54%. The May 2024 swap is designated as a hedge and accounted for as a net investment hedge.

The component of the gains and losses on our net investment in these designated foreign operations driven by changes in foreign exchange rates are economically partly offset by movements in the fair value of our cross-currency swap contracts. The fair value of the swaps is calculated each period, with changes in fair value recorded in currency translation in other comprehensive income (loss) and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Components of the May 2024 Swap excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are amortized out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and into interest expense over the life of the May 2024 Swap to maturity on June 1, 2025.

The following table summarizes the total fair values of derivative assets and liabilities and the respective classification in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The net amount of derivatives can be reconciled to the tabular disclosure of fair value in Note 10 — Fair Value Measurement:

Note 10 — Fair Value Measurement

Financial instruments are required to be categorized within a valuation hierarchy based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are measured and classified in

Table of Contents

Ranpak Holdings Corp.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(in millions, except share and per share data)

accordance with a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the observability of the inputs available in the market used to measure fair value:

•Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

•Level 2 — Inputs that are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be derived from observable market data.

•Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activities.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents (primarily consisting of bank deposits and a money market fund), accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

The cross-currency swap is valued utilizing forward and spot prices for currencies and SOFR forward curves, as applicable, which are considered Level 2 inputs. We estimate the fair value of our strategic investments in unconsolidated affiliates based on Level 3 inputs when there is an observable price change. The fair values of these investments are determined based upon valuation techniques using the Option Pricing Method and market comparables.

The following table provides the carrying amounts, estimated fair values and the respective fair value measurements of our financial instruments as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:


			Fair Value Measurements

Note 11 — Income Taxes

For each interim reporting period, we make an estimate of the effective tax rate we expect to be applicable for the full year for our operations. This estimated effective tax rate is used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis. Our effective tax rate was as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2024	2023	2024	2023
Effective tax rate	23.2%	26.0%	16.8%	14.2%

The fluctuation in the effective tax rate over the periods presented above was primarily attributable to the litigation settlement and patent sale in the second quarter of 2024 (as described in Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies), and a tax expense of $0.6 million and $1.8 million related to stock-based compensation shortfall recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is less than the U.S. federal and state statutory rates due primarily to stock-based compensation adjustments. The fluctuation in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was due to the difference in pre-tax loss

Table of Contents

(in millions, except share and per share data)

as well as tax expense of $0.5 million from a stock-based compensation shortfall recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and no impact from stock-based compensation for the same period of 2024.

Note 12 — Leases

We have operating and finance leases for automobiles, machinery, equipment, warehouses, and office buildings. Our leases have remaining terms ranging from one year to 15 years, some of which include options to extend the leases from one to five years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within one year.

Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

On an ongoing basis, we assess the potential liabilities related to any lawsuits or claims brought against us. While it is typically very difficult to determine the timing and ultimate outcome of these actions, we use our best judgment to determine if it is probable that we will incur an expense related to the settlement or final adjudication of these matters and whether a reasonable estimation of the probable loss, if any, can be made. In assessing probable losses, we make estimates of the amount of any insurance recoveries, if any. We accrue a liability when we believe a loss is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Due to the inherent uncertainties related to the eventual outcome of litigation and potential insurance recovery, it is possible that disputed matters may be resolved for amounts materially different from any provisions or disclosures that we have previously made. We expense legal costs as incurred.

We are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Management evaluates each claim and provides for potential loss when the claim is probable to be paid and reasonably estimable. While adverse decisions in certain of these litigation matters, claims and administrative proceedings could have a material effect on a particular period’s results of operations, subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for contingent liabilities, management believes that any future accruals with respect to these currently known contingencies would not have a material effect on the financial condition, liquidity or cash flows of the Company. There are no amounts required to be reflected in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements related to contingencies for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

On April 22, 2024, we entered into a settlement agreement (“the Settlement Agreement”) with a competitor (the “Defendant”) in connection with a patent infringement action we filed against the Defendant regarding a patented feature on some of our machines. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, on April 24, 2024, we received a cash payment in the amount of €15 million (approximately $16.1 million USD), and a second cash payment of €5 million (approximately $5.4 million USD) related to the sale of two patents, both of which were recorded in other non-operating income, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The patents sold were never used in a commercial product or arrangement and the combined carrying value at the time of sale was insignificant.

Environmental Matters

Our operations are subject to extensive and changing U.S. federal, state and local laws and regulations, as well as the laws of other countries that establish health and environmental quality standards. These standards, among others, relate to air and water pollutants and the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes. We are exposed to potential liability for personal injury or property damage caused by any release, spill, exposure or other accident involving such

(in millions, except share and per share data)

pollutants, substances or wastes. There are no amounts required to be reflected in these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements related to environmental contingencies.

Management believes the Company is in compliance, in all material respects, with environmental laws and regulations and maintains insurance coverage to mitigate exposure to environmental liabilities. Management does not believe any environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Note 14 — Stock-Based Compensation

We record stock-based compensation at fair value on the date of grant and record the expense for these awards in SG&A expenses in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations on a ratable basis over the requisite employee service period. Stock-based compensation expense includes actual forfeitures incurred. For performance-based awards, including performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) and our 2021 LTIP PRSUs, we reassess at each reporting date whether achievement of the performance condition is probable and accrue compensation expense if and when achievement of the performance condition is probable.

The table below summarizes our stock-based compensation plans:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Stock-based compensation expense	$	1.8	$	(5.1)	$	4.6	$	(11.8)

Note 15 — Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS gives effect to the potential dilution, if any, that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, using the more dilutive of the two-

(in millions, except share and per share data)

class method or if-converted method. Diluted EPS excludes potential shares of common stock if their effect is anti-dilutive. If there is a net loss in any period, basic and diluted EPS are computed in the same manner.

Earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the two-class method. The two-class method determines net income (loss) per common share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The two-class method requires income available to common shareholders for the period to be allocated between different classes of common stock and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. We apply the two-class method for EPS when computing net income (loss) per Class A and Class C common shares.

As of September 30, 2024, we have not issued any instruments that are considered to be participating securities. Weighted average shares of Class A and Class C common stock have been combined in the denominator of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share because they have equivalent economic rights. The following table sets forth the computation of our earnings (loss) per share:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Numerator:
Net loss	$	(8.1)	$	(3.3)	$	(10.7)	$	(17.8)
Net loss attributable to common stockholders for basic and diluted EPS	$	(8.1)	$	(3.3)	$	(10.7)	$	(17.8)
Denominator:
Basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	83,227,887		82,322,957		82,994,759		82,297,985
Two-class method:
Basic and diluted loss per share	$	(0.10)	$	(0.04)	$	(0.13)	$	(0.22)
Class A Common Stock:
Basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	80,306,788		79,401,858		80,073,660		79,376,886
Proportionate share of net loss	$	(7.8)	$	(3.2)	$	(10.3)	$	(17.2)
Basic and diluted loss per share	$	(0.10)	$	(0.04)	$	(0.13)	$	(0.22)

Basic and diluted loss per share	$	(0.10)	$	(0.03)	$	(0.13)	$	(0.21)

The dilutive effect of 0.4 million shares in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 0.1 million and 0.8 million shares in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, was omitted from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding and diluted earnings per share because we were in a loss position. In addition, 2.6 million and 1.7 million shares issuable subject to RSUs and PRSUs were not included in the computation of diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 2.2 million and 1.1 million shares issuable subject to RSUs and PRSUs were not included in the computation of diluted shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Note 16 — Transactions with Related Parties

In 2019, upon the closing of Ranpak’s business combination with One Madison Corporation, Ranpak entered into a shared services agreement (the “Shared Services Agreement”) with an entity controlled by our chief executive officer, One Madison Group LLC (the “Sponsor”), pursuant to which the Sponsor may provide, or cause to be provided, certain services to Ranpak. The Shared Services Agreement provides for a broad array of potential services, including administrative and “back office” or corporate-type services and requires Ranpak to indemnify the Sponsor in connection with the services provided by the Sponsor to Ranpak. Total fees under the agreement were not material for the third quarter of 2024 and

2023, and amounted to approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Note 17 — Shareholders' Equity

On July 26, 2022, the Company’s board of directors authorized a general share repurchase program of the Company’s Class A common stock of up to $50.0 million, with a 36-month expiration. These Class A common stock repurchases may occur in transactions that may include, without limitation, tender offers, open market purchases, accelerated share repurchases, negotiated block purchases, and transactions effected through plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of different factors and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time at the discretion of the Directors. There have been no repurchases executed to date.

Note 18 — Strategic Investments

As part of our strategy, we continuously evaluate opportunities for strategic investments that align with our mission. We account for these investments in non-public companies under the ASC Topic 321, Investments - Equity Securities, measurement alternative for equity securities without readily determinable fair values, as there are no quoted market prices for these investments. The investments are measured at cost and adjusted to fair value when there is an observable price change, and are assessed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

We hold investments in Pickle Robot Co. (“Pickle”) and Creapaper GmbH (“Creapaper”). Pickle is a robotics-solutions company which has developed robots for sorting, loading and unloading packaged goods. Creapaper uses a patented process to produce grass fiber, a raw material required for producing their grasspaper packaging products. As of December 31, 2023, we held investments in Pickle and Creapaper of $9.4 million and $4.9 million, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2024, we invested an additional $4.3 million in cash in exchange for preferred shares in Pickle which was considered an observable price change that required remeasurement of the carrying value of our investment in Pickle, resulting in a $3.5 million unrealized loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 we became aware of an investment in Pickle made by a new third party investor which was considered an observable price change. We performed a valuation of our investment in Pickle which resulted in an unrealized gain of $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. We have recognized a $0.4 million unrealized loss in our investment in Pickle for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The gain/loss is recognized in other non-operating income, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). There were no adjustments recognized in the three or nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2024, the carrying value of our investments in Pickle and Creapaper were $13.8 million and $4.9 million, respectively.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis is intended to help the reader understand our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. You should read this discussion in conjunction with the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements,” and our financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as the section entitled, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of Ranpak included in our 2023 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2024. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meanings disclosed elsewhere in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect future plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. The forward-looking statements are dependent upon events, risks and uncertainties that may be outside of the Company's control. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those discussed in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

Ranpak is a leading provider of environmentally sustainable, systems-based, product protection and end-of-line automation solutions for e-commerce and industrial supply chains. Since our inception in 1972, we have delivered high quality protective packaging solutions, while maintaining commitment to environmental sustainability. We provide our paper-based Protective Packaging Solutions (“ PPS”) systems and paper consumables to distributors and certain select end-users. We operate manufacturing facilities in the United States and Europe. For our Automation product lines, we currently have dedicated facilities in Shelton, Connecticut and the Netherlands. R Squared Robotics, a division of Ranpak, uses three-dimensional computer vision and artificial intelligence technologies to improve end-of-line packaging and logistics functions. We also maintain sales and administrative offices in Brazil, France, the Czech Republic, China, Japan, and Singapore. We are a global business that generated approximately 59% of our 2023 net revenue outside of the United States.

As of September 30, 2024, we had an installed base of approximately 143.6 thousand PPS systems serving a diverse set of distributors and end-users. We generated net revenue of $263.9 million and $245.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Key Performance Indicators and Other Factors Affecting Performance

We use the following key performance indicators and monitor the following other factors to analyze our business performance, determine financial forecasts, and help develop long-term strategic plans.

PPS Systems Base — We closely track the number of PPS systems installed with end-users as it is a leading indicator of underlying business trends and near-term and ongoing net sales expectations. Our installed base of PPS systems also drives our capital expenditure budgets. The following table presents our installed base of PPS systems by product line as of September 30, 2024 and 2023:


	September 30, 2024	September 30, 2023	Change	% Change
PPS Systems	(in thousands)
Cushioning machines	34.9	34.8	0.1	0.3
Void-Fill machines	85.8	84.7	1.1	1.3
Wrapping machines	22.9	22.5	0.4	1.8
Total	143.6	142.0	1.6	1.1

Paper and Other Costs. Paper is a key component of our cost of goods sold and paper costs can fluctuate significantly between periods. We purchase both 100% virgin and 100% recycled paper, as well as blends, from various suppliers for conversion into the paper consumables we sell. The cost of paper supplies is our largest input cost, and we historically have negotiated supply and pricing arrangements with most of our paper suppliers annually, with a view towards mitigating fluctuations in paper cost. Nevertheless, as paper is a commodity, its price on the open market, and in turn the prices we negotiate with suppliers at a given point in time, can fluctuate significantly, and is affected by several factors outside of our control, including inflationary pressures, supply and demand and the cost of other commodities that are used in the manufacture of paper, including wood, energy, and chemicals. The market for our solutions is competitive and it may be difficult to pass on increases in paper prices to our customers immediately, or at all, which has in the past, and could in the future, adversely affect our operating results. Although we look to pass increased market costs on to our customers to

Table of Contents

mitigate the impact of these costs, we are unable to predict our ability to pass these costs on to our customers and how much of these increases we will be able to pass on to our customers. As such, we expect some continued pressure on our gross margin in the medium term relative to our historical margin profile.

Effect of Currency Fluctuations. As a result of the geographic diversity of our operations, we are exposed to the effects of currency translation, which has affected the comparability of our results of operations between the periods presented in this report and may affect the comparability of our results of operations in future periods. Currency transaction exposure results when we generate net revenue in one currency at one time and incur expenses in another currency at another time, or when we realize gain or loss on intercompany transfers. While we seek to limit currency transaction exposure by matching the currencies in which we incur sales and expenses, we may not always be able to do so.

In addition, we are subject to currency translation exposure because the operations of our subsidiaries are measured in their functional currency, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the subsidiary operates. Any currency balances that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the subsidiary are re-measured into the functional currency, with the resulting gain or loss recorded in the foreign currency (gains) losses line-item in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In turn, subsidiary income statement balances that are denominated in currencies other than USD are translated into USD, our reporting currency, in consolidation using the average exchange rate in effect during each fiscal month during the period, with any related gain or loss recorded as foreign currency translation adjustments in other comprehensive income (loss). The assets and liabilities of subsidiaries that use functional currencies other than the USD are translated into USD in consolidation using period end exchange rates, with the effects of foreign currency translation adjustments included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

We hedge some of our exposure to foreign currency translation with a cross-currency swap. Refer to Note 8 — Derivative Instruments to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information. Significant currency fluctuations could impact the comparability of results between periods, while such fluctuations coupled with material mismatches in net revenue and expenses could also adversely impact our cash flows. See “Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

Inflationary Pressures and Other Costs. We have continued to experience inflationary pressures in 2024, which have adversely impacted some of our end-users, such as automotive companies; distributors; electronic manufacturers; machinery manufacturers; home goods manufacturers; e-commerce and mail order fulfillment firms; and other end-users that are particularly sensitive to reductions in business and consumer spending by their respective customers, and which in turn have impacted our net revenue. Higher costs due to inflation were partially offset by price increases, which mitigated the impact on our operating results. However, our ability to predict or further offset inflationary cost increases in the future or during economic downturns or recessions may be limited or impacted by heightened competition for net revenue, an unwillingness by our customers to accept price increase or pressure to reduce selling prices if end-users reduce their volume of purchases. Inflationary pressures and associated higher interest rates and borrowing costs may also impact the ability of some of our end-users and suppliers to obtain funds for operations and capital expenditures, which could negatively impact our ability to obtain necessary supplies as well as the sales of materials and equipment to affected end-users. This could also result in reduced or delayed collections of outstanding accounts receivable from end-users, which could impact our cash flows. As a result, to the extent inflationary pressures continue, we expect additional pressure on our net revenue and gross margin. We will continue to evaluate the impact of inflationary pressures on our profitability and cash flows as well as our end-users.

Seasonality. Approximately 30% of our net revenue in 2023, either directly or to distributors, was destined for end-users in the e-commerce sectors, whose businesses frequently follow traditional retail seasonal trends, including a concentration of sales in the holiday period in the fourth quarter. Our results tend to follow similar patterns, with the highest net revenue typically recorded in our fourth fiscal quarter and the slowest sales in our first fiscal quarter of each fiscal year. We expect this seasonality to continue in the future and, as a result, our results of operations between fiscal quarters in a given year may not be directly comparable.

Results of Operations

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. We have, however, also presented below Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) and constant currency adjusted EBITDA (“Constant Currency AEBITDA”), which are non-GAAP financial measures. We have included EBITDA and Constant Currency AEBITDA because they are key measures used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short- and long-term operational plans. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating EBITDA and Constant Currency AEBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our primary business operations. Adjusting AEBITDA for comparability for constant currency also assists in this comparison as it allows a better insight into the performance of our businesses that operate in currencies other than our reporting currency. Before

Table of Contents

consolidation, our Europe/Asia financial data is derived in Euros. To calculate the adjustment that we apply to present AEBITDA on a constant currency basis, we multiply this Euro-derived data by 1.15 to reflect an exchange rate of 1 Euro to 1.15 USD, which we believe is a reasonable exchange rate to use to give a stable depiction of the business without currency fluctuations between periods, to calculate Europe/Asia data in constant currency USD. An exchange rate of 1.15 approximates the average exchange rate of the Euro to USD over the past five years. We also present non-GAAP constant currency net revenue and derive it in the same manner. We believe that EBITDA and Constant Currency AEBITDA provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the Company’s operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

However, EBITDA and AEBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. In particular, EBITDA and AEBITDA should not be viewed as substitutes for, or superior to, net income (loss) prepared in accordance with GAAP as a measure of profitability or liquidity. Some of these limitations are:

•although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Constant Currency AEBITDA do not reflect all cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;

•EBITDA and Constant Currency AEBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

•Constant Currency AEBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of equity-based compensation;

•EBITDA and Constant Currency AEBITDA do not reflect the impact of the recording or release of valuation allowances or tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;

•Constant Currency AEBITDA does not take into account any restructuring and integration costs;

•Constant Currency AEBITDA is presented on a constant currency basis and gives effect to the impact of currency fluctuations

•while EBITDA for all periods herein has been reported without giving effect to constant currency adjustments, we have previously presented EBITDA on a constant currency basis, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure to certain of our historical results that are not presented in this report; and

•other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate EBITDA and Constant Currency AEBITDA differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.

EBITDA — EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude: benefit from (provision for) income taxes; interest expense; and depreciation and amortization.

Constant Currency AEBITDA — Constant Currency AEBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we present on a constant currency basis and calculate as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude: benefit from (provision for) income taxes; interest expense; depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation expense; and, in certain periods, certain other income and expense items; as further adjusted to reflect the performance of the business on a constant currency basis.

In addition, in our discussion below, we include certain other unaudited, non-GAAP constant currency data for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. This data is based on our historical financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, adjusted (where applicable) to reflect a constant currency presentation between periods for the convenience of readers. We reconcile this data to our GAAP data for the same period under “Presentation and Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures” for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

The following tables set forth our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 with line items presented in millions of dollars.

Net revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was $92.2 million compared to $82.8 million in the third quarter of 2023, an increase of $9.4 million or 11.4% year over year. Net revenue was positively impacted by an increase in void-fill, wrapping, and other net revenue, partially offset by a decrease in cushioning. Other net revenue includes automated box sizing equipment and non-paper revenue from packaging systems installed in the field, such as systems accessories. Cushioning decreased $3.2 million, or 9.0%, to $32.5 million from $35.7 million; void-fill increased $9.7 million, or 28.4%, to $43.9 million from $34.2 million; wrapping increased $0.4 million or 4.9% to $8.5 million from $8.1 million; and other sales increased $2.5 million, or 52.1%, to $7.3 million from $4.8 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023. The increase in void-fill was primarily due to increased volume from e-commerce activity in North America. The increase in net revenue is quantified by an increase in the volume of sales of our paper consumable products of approximately 14.7% and a 2.9% increase in sales of automated box sizing equipment, partially offset by a 7.0% decrease in the price or mix of our paper consumable products. Constant currency net revenue was $94.7 million for the third quarter of 2024, a 10.5% increase from $85.7 million from the third quarter of 2023.

Net revenue in North America for the third quarter of 2024 totaled $40.3 million compared to $34.9 million in the third quarter of 2023. The increase of $5.4 million, or 15.5%, was primarily attributable to an increase in void-fill and other sales, partially offset by decreases in wrapping and cushioning.

Net revenue in Europe/Asia for the third quarter of 2024 totaled $51.9 million compared to $47.9 million in the third quarter of 2023. The increase of $4.0 million, or 8.4%, was driven by increases in void-fill, wrapping, and other sales, partially offset by a decrease in cushioning. Constant currency net revenue in Europe/Asia was $54.4 million for the third quarter of 2024, a $3.6 million, or 7.1%, increase from $50.8 million for the third quarter of 2023.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the third quarter of 2024 totaled $57.8 million, an increase of $6.5 million, or 12.7%, compared to $51.3 million in the third quarter of 2023. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales increased to 62.7% in the third quarter of 2024 compared to 62.0% in the third quarter of 2023. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales increased primarily due to a decrease in product price mix and higher labor and freight costs, partially offset by lower material costs and lower depreciation expense related to our leased machines.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)

SG&A for the third quarter of 2024 was $28.8 million, an increase of $7.9 million, or 37.8%, from $20.9 million in the third quarter of 2023. The change in SG&A was primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $6.9 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. This change was due to increased expense of $0.4 million from our RSU and PRSU awards for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and the reversal of $6.5 million of expense related to our 2021 LTIP PRSU awards during the three months ended September 30, 2023. We incurred an additional $0.7 million in employee compensation and $0.5 million of operating lease expense during the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense for the third quarter of 2024 was $8.2 million, an increase of $0.1 million, or 1.2%, from $8.1 million in the third quarter of 2023. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was due to an increase in the amortization of our finance leases of $0.1 million compared to the same period in the prior year.

Other Operating Expense, Net

Other operating expense, net for the third quarter of 2024 was $1.6 million, an increase of $0.7 million from $0.9 million in the third quarter of 2023. The increase was due to an increase in research and development expense of $0.5 million and increased loss on the disposal of property, plant, and equipment of $0.2 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the third quarter of 2024 was $9.3 million, an increase of $2.5 million, or 36.8%, from $6.8 million in the third quarter of 2023. The increase was due to the expiration of our interest rate swap in the second quarter of 2024, partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in interest expense from fluctuations in interest rates associated with our First Lien Credit Facilities during the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023.

Foreign Currency (Gain) Loss

Foreign currency loss for the third quarter of 2024 was $0.2 million, an increase of $0.9 million, from foreign currency gain of $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2023 due to the volatility in Euro exchange rates compared to USD.

Other Non-Operating Income, Net

Other non-operating income, net for the third quarter of 2024 and 2023 was $3.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The change is primarily due to an unrealized gain on our investment in Pickle Robot Co. of $3.1 million.

Income Tax Benefit

Income tax benefit for the third quarter of 2024 was $2.5 million, or an effective tax rate of 23.2%. Income tax benefit was $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2023, or an effective tax rate of 26.0%. The fluctuation in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was due to the difference in pre-tax loss as well as tax expense of $0.5 million from a stock-based compensation shortfall recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and no impact from stock-based compensation for the same period of 2024. The effective tax rate is less than the U.S. federal statutory rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 due primarily to the amount of the pre-tax loss. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 is consistent with the combined federal and state statutory rates.

Net Loss

Net loss for the third quarter of 2024 increased $4.8 million to $8.1 million from a net loss of $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2023. The change was due to the reasons discussed above.

EBITDA and AEBITDA

EBITDA for the third quarter of 2024 was $12.6 million, a decrease of $6.2 million, or 33.0%, compared to $18.8 million in the third quarter of 2023. AEBITDA for the third quarter of 2024 and 2023 totaled $20.5 million and $18.0 million, respectively, an increase of $2.5 million, or 13.9% year over year.

Net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $263.9 million compared to $245.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $18.0 million or 7.3% year over year. Net revenue was positively impacted by increases in void-fill and other net revenue, partially offset by decreases in cushioning and wrapping. Cushioning decreased $5.1 million, or 4.6%, to $104.8 million from $109.9 million; void-fill increased $19.2 million, or 20.1%, to $114.7 million from $95.5 million; wrapping decreased $0.3 million, or 1.2%, to $25.5 million from $25.8 million; and other sales increased $4.2 million, or 28.6%, to $18.9 million from $14.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in void-fill was primarily due to increased volume from e-commerce activity in North America as we see more companies shifting from plastic to paper solutions. The increase in net revenue is quantified by an increase in the volume of sales of our paper consumable products of approximately 9.6% and an increase of 1.7% in sales of automated box sizing equipment, partially offset by a 4.4% decrease in the price or mix of our paper consumable products. Constant currency net revenue was $272.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a 6.9% increase from $255.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Net revenue in North America for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 totaled $109.9 million compared to $98.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase of $11.7 million, or 11.9%, was primarily attributable to an increase in void-fill and other sales, partially offset by decreases in cushioning and wrapping.

Net revenue in Europe/Asia for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 totaled $154.0 million compared to $147.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase of $6.3 million, or 4.3%, was driven by increases in void-fill, wrapping and other net revenue, partially offset by a decrease in cushioning sales. Constant currency net revenue in Europe/Asia was $162.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a $6.0 million, or 3.8% increase from constant currency net revenue of $156.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 totaled $165.5 million, an increase of $8.8 million, or 5.6%, compared to $156.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, driven by an increase in sales volume. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased to 62.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 63.7% in 2023. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales improved, primarily driven by lower material costs and lower depreciation expense related to our leased machines, partially offset by higher labor, overhead and freight costs and a decrease in product price mix.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)

SG&A for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $84.0 million, an increase of $19.6 million, or 30.4%, from $64.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The change in SG&A was primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $16.4 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, driven by the reversal of expense of $19.5 million related to our 2021 LTIP PRSU awards during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and a decrease of expense of $3.1 million related to our RSU and PRSU awards during nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year. We incurred an additional $3.5 million in employee compensation and $0.9 million in temporary labor costs, partially offset by lower professional fees of $1.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $24.9 million, an increase of $0.7 million, or 2.9%, from $24.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense is primarily due an increase of $0.5 million of amortization related to our finance leases.

Other Operating Expense, Net

Other operating expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $3.7 million, an increase of $0.2 million from $3.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in other operating expense, net was due to a $0.2 million increase in research and development expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 2023.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $20.8 million, an increase of $2.4 million, or 13.0%, from $18.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The effects of our cross currency and interest rate swaps offset an increase in interest rates associated with our First Lien Credit Facilities and additional expense of $0.6 million from deferred financing costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Foreign Currency (Gain) Loss

Foreign currency gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $1.1 million, a change of $1.3 million from foreign currency loss of $0.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to the volatility in Euro exchange rates compared to USD.

Other Non-Operating Income, Net

Other non-operating income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $21.0 million and primarily represents $16.1 million in litigation proceeds and a $5.4 million gain on the sale of patents, partially offset by a $0.4 million unrealized loss on our strategic investment in Pickle Robot Co.. Other non-operating income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $0.8 million and represents the unrealized gain on our investment in a money market fund.

Income Tax Benefit

Income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $2.2 million, or an effective tax rate of 16.8%. Income tax benefit was $2.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, or an effective tax rate of 14.2%. The fluctuation in the effective tax rate between periods was primarily attributable to the litigation settlement and patent sale in the second quarter of 2024 and tax expense of $1.8 million related to stock-based compensation shortfall recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Net Loss

Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $7.1 million to $10.7 million from a net loss of $17.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The change was due to the reasons discussed above.

EBITDA and AEBITDA

EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $57.3 million, an increase of $10.2 million, or 21.7%, compared to $47.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. AEBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 totaled $61.1 million and $52.1 million, respectively, representing an increase of $9.0 million, or 17.3%.

Presentation and Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures

As noted above, we believe that in order to better understand the performance of the Company, providing non-GAAP financial measures to users of our financial information is helpful. We believe presentation of these non-GAAP measures is useful because they are many of the key measures that allow management to evaluate more effectively our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period and against peers without regard to financing methods or capital structure. Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to similar financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The computations of EBITDA and AEBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, measures of financial performance as determined in accordance with GAAP or as indicators of operating performance.

The following tables and related notes reconcile certain non-GAAP measures, including the non-GAAP constant currency measures, to GAAP information presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We evaluate liquidity in terms of cash flows from operations and other sources and the sufficiency of such cash flows to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. We believe that our $69.5 million in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024 and cash flows from operations and other sources will provide us with sufficient resources to cover our current requirements over the next twelve months.

Table of Contents

Our main liquidity needs relate to capital expenditures and expenses for the production and maintenance of PPS systems placed at end-user facilities, working capital, including the purchase of paper raw materials, and payments of principal and interest on our outstanding debt. We expect our capital expenditures to increase as we continue to grow our business, expand our manufacturing footprint, and upgrade our existing systems and facilities. We continue to evaluate our inventory requirements and adjust according to our volume forecasts. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, and if we are unable to obtain needed additional funds, we may have to reduce our operating costs or incur additional debt, which could impair our growth prospects and/or otherwise negatively impact our business. Further, volatility in the equity and credit markets from macroeconomic factors could make obtaining new equity or debt financing more difficult or expensive.

We had $69.5 million in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024 and $62.0 million as of December 31, 2023. Including finance lease liabilities and excluding deferred financing costs, we had $408.2 million in debt, $2.7 million of which was classified as short-term, as of September 30, 2024, compared to $407.4 million in debt, $2.5 million of which was classified as short-term, as of December 31, 2023. At September 30, 2024, we did not have amounts outstanding under our $45.0 million revolving credit facility, and we had no borrowings under such facility through October 31, 2024. The Revolving Facility includes borrowing capacity available for standby letters of credit of up to $5.0 million. Any issuance of letters of credit will reduce the amount available under the Revolving Facility. As of September 30, 2024, we had $1.5 million committed to outstanding letters of credit, leaving net availability under the Revolving Facility at $43.5 million.

The material terms of the Facilities are summarized in Note 7 — Long-Term Debt to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and under the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources - Debt Profile” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of the 2023 10-K. The First Lien Term Facility matures in 2026 and the Revolving Facility matures in 2025. Borrowings under the Facilities, at our option, bear interest at either (1) an adjusted eurocurrency rate or, the secured-overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), or (2) a base rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is 3.75% with respect to eurocurrency borrowings or SOFR borrowings, as applicable, and 2.75% with respect to base rate borrowings, in each case assuming a first lien net leverage ratio of less than 5.00:1.00, subject to a leverage-based step-up to an applicable margin equal to 4.00% for eurocurrency borrowings and SOFR borrowings, as applicable, and 3.00% with respect to base rate borrowings. The interest rate for the First Lien Dollar Term Facility as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, was 9.05% and 9.44%, respectively. The interest rate for the First Lien Euro Term Facility as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, was 7.36% and 7.86%, respectively.

The Facilities provide us with the option to increase commitments under the Facilities in an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of $95.0 million and 100% of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the definitive documentation with respect to the Facilities) for the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended, plus any voluntary prepayments of the First Lien Term Facility (and, in the case of the Revolving Facility, to the extent such voluntary prepayments are accompanied by permanent commitment reductions under the Revolving Facility), plus unlimited amounts subject to the relevant net leverage ratio tests and certain other conditions.

Share Repurchase Program

On July 26, 2022, the Directors authorized a general share repurchase program of our Class A common stock of up to $50.0 million, with a 36-month expiration. These Class A common stock repurchases may occur in transactions that may include, without limitation, tender offers, open market purchases, accelerated share repurchases, negotiated block purchases, and transactions effected through plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The timing and actual amount of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of different factors and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time at the discretion of the Directors. There have been no repurchases executed to date.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth our summary cash flow information for the periods indicated:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2024		2023
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	34.9	$	23.0
Net cash used in investing activities	(24.7)		(32.0)

Cash and Cash Equivalents, beginning of period	62.0		62.8
Cash and Cash Equivalents, end of period	$	69.5	$	52.1

Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $34.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Cash provided by operating activities was $23.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The changes in operating cash flows are largely due to the decreased net loss for the current period compared with prior year, which was in part due to a patent litigation settlement of $16.1 million in the current period, and partially offset by increases in inventory, accounts receivable, and income tax receivables as of September 30, 2024.

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $24.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and reflects cash used for production of converter equipment and purchases of machinery and equipment, and an additional investment in Pickle of $4.8 million. We had cash inflows from investing activities of $5.4 million from the sale of two patents. Net cash used in investing activities was $32.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and reflects cash used for production of converter equipment and leasehold improvements for our facilities in Connecticut and The Netherlands, net of $2.9 million in proceeds from the sale of our building and land located in Heerlen, The Netherlands.

Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $2.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and reflects debt repayments, payments on finance lease liabilities, tax payments for withholdings on stock compensation, and payments on our equipment financing arrangement. Net cash used in financing activities was $1.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and reflects debt repayments, payments on finance lease liabilities, tax payments for withholdings on stock compensation, and legal fees paid related to a modification of our debt facilities, partially offset by proceeds received from our equipment financing arrangement.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments

We lease production and administrative facilities as well as automobiles, machinery and equipment. We have various contractual obligations and commercial commitments that are recorded as liabilities in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Other items, such as purchase obligations and other executory contracts, are not recognized as liabilities, but are required to be disclosed. There have been no significant changes outside the ordinary course of business to our “Contractual Obligations” table in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of the 2023 10-K.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2024.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While we do not believe that the reported amounts would be materially different, application of these policies involves the exercise of judgment and the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on experience and various other assumptions that we believe are

Table of Contents

reasonable under the circumstances. All of our significant accounting policies, including certain critical accounting policies and estimates, are disclosed in our 2023 10-K.

Impairment of Goodwill, Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets, and Long-Lived Assets

We periodically review goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for possible impairment whenever there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of our goodwill reporting units or identifiable indefinite-lived intangible assets may be less than their fair values. Additionally, we review our long-lived asset groups whenever there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of our asset groups may not be recoverable. If events or circumstances exist, including a continuation of current market conditions, that indicate that the carrying value of our goodwill reporting units or identifiable indefinite-lived intangible assets may be less than their fair values, or the carrying amount of our long lived-asset groups may no longer be recoverable, we may recognize a non-cash impairment of goodwill, identifiable indefinite-lived intangible assets, or long-lived asset groups, which could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations in future periods. For additional information on our accounting principles with respect to goodwill, identifiable indefinite-lived intangible assets, and long-lived assets, please see “Management Discussion & Analysis – Critical Accounting Policies” in our 2023 10-K.

As of September 30, 2024, there were no indicators to suggest that it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets were below their carrying values. As of September 30, 2024, there were no indicators of impairment present for long-lived assets that required us to test for recoverability.

If we fail an impairment test, any non-cash impairment charge may have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. We will continue to monitor events and circumstances for indicators of impairment in our reporting units, indefinite-lived intangible assets, and asset groups.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

For recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Changes in interest rates affect the amount of interest income we earn on cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and the amount of interest expense we pay on borrowings under the floating rate portions of our Facilities. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in the applicable base interest rates under our Facilities would have resulted in a $6.0 million impact on our cash interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. We use interest rate swap agreements to manage this exposure.

Refer to Note 7 —Long-Term Debt and Note 8 — Derivative Instruments to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to our transactions and subsidiaries’ balances that are denominated in currencies other than USD, our reporting currency. See “Effect of Currency Fluctuations” in Item 2 previously for more information about our foreign currency exchange rate exposure. We seek to naturally hedge our foreign exchange transaction exposure by matching the transaction currencies for our cash inflows and outflows and maintaining access to credit in the principal currencies in which we conduct business. Additionally, we hedge some of our exposure to foreign currency translation with a cross-currency swap. Refer to Note 8 — Derivative Instruments to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net revenue denominated in currencies other than USD amounted to $154.0 million or 58.4% of our net revenue for the period. Substantially all of this amount was denominated in Euro. A 10% increase or decrease in the value of the Euro to the USD would have caused our reported net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to increase or decrease by approximately $15.4 million.

Commodity Price Risk

While our business is significantly impacted by price fluctuations related to the purchase, production and sale of paper products, we are typically not directly exposed to market price fluctuations in paper purchase or sale prices as we

Table of Contents

historically have negotiated prices with suppliers on an annual basis and negotiate prices with distributors reflecting competitive market terms. Our strategy has generally been to obtain competitive prices for our products and services and allow operating results to reflect market price movements dictated by supply and demand. However, due to global inflation and other macroeconomic factors, we may be subject to significantly more commodity price volatility than we have historically experienced.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that are described in the 2023 10-K.

Notwithstanding such material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, our management, including our CEO and CFO, has concluded that our consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of our operations and our cash flows for the periods presented in this Quarterly Report, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Remediation Plans

As previously described in Part II – Item 9A – Controls and Procedures of the 2023 10-K, we continue to implement a remediation plan to address the material weaknesses mentioned above. The deficiencies will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

The Company continues to make progress in its remediation of the material weaknesses described in the 2023 10-K. During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, management verified that changes were made to the design of certain controls that would be necessary for potential remediation. We assessed the design of these certain controls through detailed reviews of the process and related controls with process owners, who are responsible for implementing and monitoring our remediation plans. We have also taken the following actions, outlined below, in our effort to remediate our material weaknesses.

•Enhanced policies and procedures to improve our overall control environment and monitoring controls around timely evaluation and communication of internal control deficiencies to those parties responsible for taking corrective action, including senior management and the board of directors, as appropriate.

•Designed and implemented a continuous risk assessment process to identify and assess risks of material misstatement and ensure that the impacted financial reporting processes and related internal controls are properly designed and in place to respond to those risks in our financial reporting.

•Hired personnel for key positions within our technology, accounting, business operations and other support functions with appropriate qualified experience and ERP knowledge to enhance our risk assessment processes and internal control capabilities, allow for appropriate segregation of duties and change management, and provide appropriate oversight and reviews.

•Provided, and continue to provide, additional training and education programs for personnel responsible for the performance of key business processes throughout the Company to facilitate their understanding of the risks being

Table of Contents

addressed by the controls they are performing as well as educate them in the documentation requirements of the internal control framework.

•Enhanced user access provisioning and monitoring controls to enforce appropriate system access and segregation of duties as well as controls supporting change management.

Although we have taken these actions, we have not remediated our material weaknesses as of September 30, 2024. For Management to consider a material weakness remediated the related controls are required to operate effectively as anticipated for a minimum period and we may not be able to demonstrate through testing that these controls have been operating effectively for a sufficient period of time to achieve remediation. As the Company continues executing its remediation plan in 2024, changes to the timing of remediation activities and delays may be experienced that could delay when the material weakness is considered remediated.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In response to the material weaknesses described in the 2023 10-K, the Company reviewed the design of its controls and began remediation activities to alleviate the noted control deficiencies. Other than these items, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2024, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
