“2022 was a true test of our resolve to turn around this Company and expand consumer access to our iconic brand in markets all around the world,” said Miguel Fernandez, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tupperware Brands. “We entered the year optimistic about our progress in improving our business economics and executing on our growth plans. Events did not unfold in our favor, so we reacted quickly to the challenges. Importantly, we remained unwavering in our pursuit of building a broader Tupperware ecosystem in which to reach consumers eager to interact with our products. In the US, our first major retail expansion effort exceeded our expectations,” he added. “We have now pivoted towards a new post-pandemic phase where we believe our core direct selling business will benefit from the return to in-person events, focusing on recruiting and training our next generation of business builders, and where those markets utilizing our studio model, particularly China, are able to benefit from more consumer traffic.”
“We raised prices to protect gross margins, worked with our banks to provide more financial flexibility, accelerated our re-engineering efforts as part of our ongoing commitment to right size the business, and developed innovative programs to significantly reduce inventories in the fourth quarter,” said Mariela Matute, Chief Financial Officer of Tupperware Brands. “While we are pleased with these positive initiatives, we expect 2023 to be a transition year, as we work to stabilize the business and solidify our financial foundation.”
*Results are preliminary pending the finalization of certain open items, predominantly related to income taxes. A reconciliation of these preliminary non-GAAP measures to comparable GAAP measures can be found in the tables included in this release.

Full Year 2022 Operating Results
Total net sales were $1,305.6 million, a decrease of 18% (or 14% on a constant currency basis) compared to the prior year period. Net sales in South America increased 10% in constant currency, with stable performance in Brazil augmented by strong growth elsewhere in the region, particularly in Argentina. Outside of South America, net sales declined in the double digits, impacted by COVID-related lockdowns, particularly in China, and declining consumer sentiment, predominately in Europe. In North America, actions taken to improve the economics of those markets adversely impacted the top line. For detailed performance by region, please refer to the segment tables in the appended exhibit.
Gross profit was $836.4 million, as compared to $1,066.0 million for the prior year period. Gross margin was 64.1%, as compared to 66.6% for the prior year period. Lower unit volumes, higher resin costs and other inflationary pressures, partially offset by pricing initiatives, drove the decline.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses of $742.9 million declined 10.4% from the prior year period. As a percent of sales, SG&A increased 510 basis points to 56.9% of sales in 2022 versus the 51.8% reported in 2021 due to lower fixed cost absorption, mainly due to lower sales.
(Loss) income from continuing operations was $(28.4) million, as compared to $152.2 million for the prior year period. Diluted (loss) earnings per share was $(0.62), as compared to $2.87 for the prior year period. Lower sales and operating margins, coupled with a sharply higher effective tax rate, partially offset by fewer shares outstanding, drove the decline. Adjusted diluted earnings per share (non-GAAP) was $0.46, as compared to $3.31 for the prior year period.
Fourth Quarter 2022 Operating Results
Total net sales were $313.7 million, a decrease of 20% (or 14% on a constant currency basis) compared to the prior year period. South America sales increased 24% led by double digit growth in Brazil and ongoing strong performance elsewhere in the region, particularly in Argentina. In North America, net sales declined 20% as the effect of pricing and compensation plan actions resulted in lower sales than expected. Asia Pacific net sales declined 22% as China continued to be adversely impacted by COVID. Although strict lockdowns earlier in the quarter were reversed later in the quarter, our supply chain was affected by pandemic-related employee absences throughout the quarter. While market conditions in China remains somewhat volatile, we are optimistic that, as our employees return to work and consumer mobility increases, our business in China should show improvement as 2023 progresses. Elsewhere in Asia Pacific, results were impacted by a smaller and less productive sales force, partially offset by continued double digit growth in Korea, which is one of our more advanced omnichannel markets. Sales in Europe also declined 22%, mostly due to lower sales force activity and B2B business that did not materialize as expected this year, as consumer activity remains subdued due to geopolitical concerns and widespread inflationary fears. For detailed performance by region, please refer to the segment tables in the appended exhibit.
Gross profit was $196.5 million, as compared to $390.1 million for the prior year period. Gross margin was 62.6%, up 100 basis points as compared to 61.6% for the prior year period, the first year over year improvement for the gross margin in six quarters. Gross margin is beginning to benefit from our recent pricing actions and better category management.
Selling, General and Administrative expenses declined 16.1% compared to the prior year period, but increased 230 basis points as a percent of sales to 55.8% from 53.5% in the prior year period. While this was an improvement in trends from the first three quarters of 2022, we have accelerated our re-engineering efforts, taking $15.6 million in charges in the 2022 fourth quarter, which is more than we took in aggregate in the first three quarters of the year.
(Loss) income from continuing operations was $(35.2) million, as compared to $15.4 million for the prior year period. Diluted (loss) earnings per share was $(0.79), as compared to $0.30 for the prior year period. Lower volumes and operating margins, coupled with increased interest rates and a higher tax rate, drove the decline. Adjusted diluted (loss) earnings per share (non-GAAP) was $(0.24), as compared to $0.39 for the prior year period.
Liquidity and Balance Sheet
We ended the year with $705.4 million in total debt, slightly below the $709.4 million at the end of 2021. Our cash generation improved in the fourth quarter from trends earlier in the year as a result of stringent inventory management and cost controls, coupled with the pricing initiatives that were taken throughout the year.

On February 22, 2023, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to its November 2021 Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”), which provided for, among other things, additional relief with respect to both the maximum permitted Consolidated Leverage Ratio and minimum permitted Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio as the Company anticipated that would have otherwise violated financial covenants in 2023. The Third Amendment follows the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement, entered into on August 1, 2022, and the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, entered into on December 21, 2022, which the Company entered into to provide relief as the Company anticipated it would have otherwise violated financial covenants disclosed in the Company’s financial statements for the third quarter of 2022. In consideration of the additional flexibility provided by the Third Amendment, the Company anticipates that it will remain compliant with financial covenants associated with the Credit Agreement for the year following the issuance of the financial statements.
Preliminary Results, Prior Period Misstatements and Material Weakness in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
The Company is in the process of finalizing its financial close process as of and for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022. Accordingly, these financial results included in this earnings release are preliminary and are subject to change.
In connection with its year end financial close process, the Company has identified misstatements which originated in prior annual and unaudited interim periods, the most significant of which to date relate to the Company’s historical accounting for income taxes. Until the Company has completed its final close process, there is the possibility that additional current and prior period misstatements could be identified. The Company will reflect the correction of the previously issued financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2022 fiscal year (the “Form 10-K”). The Company is evaluating the method of correction. The preliminary results as of and for the interim and annual periods ended December 25, 2021 have been adjusted to correct for the prior periods misstatements identified through the date of this press release.
In addition, the Company concluded that it did not design and maintain effective internal controls related to the accounting for the completeness, occurrence, accuracy, and presentation of the income tax provision and related income tax assets and liabilities. Accordingly, in the 2022 Form 10-K, the Company will disclose a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting and, as a result, that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2022.
53rd Week
Fiscal year 2022 consisted of 53 weeks versus 52 weeks in fiscal 2021. The extra week added approximately 1% to net sales for the year and approximately 4% to net sales in the fourth quarter.
Earnings Conference Call
The Company will host its fourth quarter 2022 earnings conference call today, March 1, 2023, at 8:30 a.m. ET. A link to the live webcast can be found under the Events and Presentations section of the Company’s Investor Relations page on the Company’s website at https://ir.tupperwarebrands.com. A webcast replay will be made available in the same section of the Company’s Investor Relations website later today.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company utilizes non-GAAP financial measures in this release, specifically, Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations (“Adjusted EBITDA”), Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share from continuing operations (“Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share”), Debt Covenant EBITDA, and Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio, each of which are provided to assist readers' understanding of the Company's results of operations. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share are useful as they are used by management in their capital allocation decision process and in discussions with investors, analysts, and other interested parties. These measures are based on a continuing operations basis. Debt Covenant EBITDA and Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio are useful as they reflect the Company’s liquidity as required under its credit facility. These measures are based on a consolidated basis with the results of both continuing operations and discontinued operations included. These amounts exclude certain items that at times materially impact the comparability of the Company's results of operations. The adjusted information is intended to be indicative of the Company's primary operations, and to assist readers in evaluating performance and analyzing trends across periods by providing what the Company believes is a useful measure for predictive purposes. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP.
The non-GAAP financial measures include comparisons related to profit that exclude:
•gains from the sale of property, plant and equipment and other real estate related operations
•insurance settlement gains or significant charges related to casualty losses caused by significant weather events, fires or similar circumstances
•exit or disposal cost obligations related to rationalizing supply chain operations and other re-engineering activities performed to wind-down or significantly restructure businesses, including cumulative translation adjustments recognized in income upon liquidation of operations in a country, asset sales or fixed asset impairments, inventory obsolescence and other operating losses incurred in conjunction with such activities
•certain asset retirement obligations
•pension settlements
•significant discrete impacts of new tax laws upon adoption, including the impact on cumulative deferred taxes from items previously recorded as cumulative translation adjustments
•amortization of definite-lived intangible assets
•non-cash impairment charges related to the carrying value of acquired intangible assets and goodwill
•infrequent costs incurred in connection with a change in capital structure
•the impact from hyper-inflationary economies on net monetary assets and other balance sheet positions that impact near term income
•non-recurring costs associated with the turnaround plan
While these types of events can and do recur periodically, they are not part of the Company’s primary business operations and are excluded from indicated financial information due to their distinction from ongoing business operations, inherent volatility and impact on the comparability of earnings across periods, as amounts recognized in any given period are not indicative of amounts that may be recognized in any particular future period.
Also, as the impact of changes in exchange rates is an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes the presentation of results on a constant currency basis, in addition to reported results, helps improve readers' ability to understand the Company's operating results and evaluate performance in comparison with prior periods. The Company presents constant currency information that compares results between periods as if current period exchange rates had been the exchange rates in the prior period. The Company uses results on a constant currency basis as one measure to evaluate performance and generally refers to such amounts as restated or excluding the impact of foreign currency.
These core sales and constant currency results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP. Core sales and results on a constant currency basis may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not measures of performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

Information included with this release includes references to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, and a covenant under our credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.: Net Consolidated Leverage Ratio. The Company uses these measures in its capital allocation decision process and in discussions with investors, analysts and other interested parties, and therefore believes it is useful to disclose these measures. The Company's calculation of its Net Consolidated Leverage Ratio is in accordance with its credit agreement, and such calculation, as well as the Company’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, is set forth in the reconciliation from GAAP amounts in an attachment to this release; however, the reader is cautioned that other companies define these measures in different ways, and consequently they may not be comparable with similarly labeled amounts disclosed by others.

Sales Force Statistics
Sales force statistics shown below are collected by the Company and, in some cases, provided by distributors and sales force. Active sales force is defined as the average number of sellers ordering in each cycle over the course of the quarter. Constant currency changes, or changes excluding foreign exchange impact, are measured by comparing current year results with those of the prior year, translated at the current year's foreign exchange rates.
