LAKE FOREST, IL, August 9, 2023 – (BUSINESSWIRE) – Reynolds Consumer Products Inc. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: REYN) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Second Quarter 2023 Highlights
Net Revenues of $940 million, up 3% over Q2 prior year Net Revenues
Net Income of $66 million vs. $52 million in Q2 2022, up 27% over Q2 prior year Net Income
Adjusted EBITDA of $150 million vs. $118 million in Q2 2022, up 27% over Q2 prior year Adjusted EBITDA
Earnings Per Share of $0.32 vs. $0.25 in Q2 2022, up 28% over Q2 prior year Earnings Per Share
Adjusted Earnings Per Share of $0.32 vs. $0.26 in Q2 2022, up 23% over Q2 prior year Adjusted Earnings Per
Share
Operating Cash Flow of $207 million in first six months of 2023 vs. $101 million in first six months of 2022

Net revenues increased 3% driven by higher pricing and unchanged volume by comparison to volume in the prior year. Net income and Adjusted EBITDA increased driven by year-over-year improvements in all businesses primarily as a result of pricing actions implemented in the prior year and lower operational costs which were partially offset by expected increases in SG&A expenses. In addition, net income was impacted by higher interest costs consistent with the Company’s guide.

“I am exceptionally pleased with our second quarter results which were driven by the continued successful implementation of Reynolds Cooking & Baking recovery initiatives and effective execution of our plan in all businesses,” said President and Chief Executive Officer, Lance Mitchell. “As a result of our team’s focus on achieving historical levels of profitability, we enter the second half of our fiscal year with restored earnings in all four of our businesses, continued leadership of our categories and a comprehensive plan to drive growth of our categories and business. Our integrated brand and store brand business model remains a competitive advantage. We are building on that foundation by increasing our investment in advertising, implementing proven promotional programs and driving innovation - including new sustainable product solutions. We are forecasting strong earnings growth for the remainder of the year and have resumed paying down debt enabled by improved earnings, strong working capital management and continued capital investment discipline.”




Reynolds Cooking & Baking
Net revenues increased $27 million, or 9%, to $321 million
Adjusted EBITDA increased $4 million, or 11%, to $40 million

Net revenues increased 9% driven by strong volume across multiple product categories, partially offset by implementing focused trade and promotional investments. Adjusted EBITDA increased 11% driven by volume growth and partially offset by lower pricing.

The Reynolds Cooking & Baking recovery plan continues to be skillfully executed resulting in outstanding results. In the second quarter, we again achieved operational and gross margin objectives established at the start of the year driven by the implementation of extensive initiatives to stabilize and increase manufacturing consistency and reliability. Planned marketing promotional programs and advertising investments also produced growth better than expectations.
Volume increased 12% driven by further share gains by Reynolds Wrap, improving Reynolds Kitchen® parchment trends and new products. Reynolds Kitchens® Stay Flat Parchment Paper with SmartGrid® was launched and Reynolds Kitchens® Air Fryer Liners gained additional distribution.

Non-retail sales of $55 million, which are consistently low margin, were down versus non-retail sales of $61 million in the second quarter of 2022. Reynolds Cooking & Baking retail sales increased $33 million by comparison to the prior year driven by a 15% increase in volume.

Hefty Waste & Storage
Net revenues decreased $9 million, or 4%, to $229 million
Adjusted EBITDA increased $16 million, or 35%, to $62 million
Net revenues decreased 4% as lower volume was partially offset by price increases implemented last year. Adjusted EBITDA increased 35%, reflecting the business operating at restored levels of profitability.
Volume decreased 8% driven by category declines and consumer migration to store brands, where our share increased.

Waste bag and slider food bag share performance remained strong driven by innovation and increased investment in trade and advertising. In waste bags, the Hefty brand is holding share and the Company’s share of store brand waste bags also increased. In food bags, Hefty’s share of slider bags grew in the quarter driven by strong retail distribution gains of the new half-gallon freezer and storage bags.

Innovation highlights include further growth for Hefty Fabuloso® reflecting distribution and share gains for Hefty Fabuloso® Lavender and Hefty Fabuloso® Lemon, new Hefty Ultra Strong Waste Bags with 50% Recovered Materials and Hefty and store brand waste bag made with post-consumer recycled materials.




Hefty Tableware
Net revenues increased $11 million, or 5%, to $251 million
Adjusted EBITDA increased $20 million, or 80%, to $45 million
Net revenues increased 5% as price increases implemented in the prior year more than offset lower volume. Adjusted EBITDA increased 80% reflecting the business continuing to operate at restored levels of profitability.
Volume decreased 7% consistent with disposable category trends.

Hefty Tableware held brand share of disposable tableware while benefiting from consumer migration to store brands. The business’s focus on Hefty ECOSAVE™, Hefty Compostable Printed Paper and other sustainable solutions continued to yield positive results including a grant to The New Norm, a startup transforming party cups into sustainable yarns and fabrics.
Presto Products
Net revenues decreased $5 million, or 3%, to $145 million
Adjusted EBITDA increased $3 million, or 12%, to $28 million
Net revenues decreased 3% as a result of lower volume. Adjusted EBITDA increased 12% reflecting lower operational costs.
Volume decreased 3% driven by lower specialty product sales volume partially offset by continued strength for Presto’s food bag products.
Presto holds a majority share of store brand press-to-close food bags and built share as store brands’ share of press-to-close food bags increased. New products including stand-and-fill food bags, which provide a point of differentiation versus store brands and branded alternatives, continued to contribute to share growth.

Year to Date 2023 Highlights

Net Revenues of $1,814 million, up 3% over comparable prior year period net revenues
Net Income of $83 million vs. $104 million in the comparable prior year period
Adjusted EBITDA of $232 million vs. $230 million in the comparable prior year period
Earnings Per Share of $0.40 vs. $0.50 in the comparable prior year period; Adjusted Earnings Per Share of
$0.40 vs. $0.52 in the comparable prior year period

Net revenues increased 3% driven by the timing of pricing actions implemented in the prior year. Net income decreased 20% and Adjusted EBITDA increased 1% as restored profitability in Hefty Waste & Storage, Hefty Tableware and Presto was offset by low profitability for Reynolds Cooking & Baking in the first quarter. Timing of pricing actions more than offset increased operational and personnel costs, professional fees and increased investments in advertising. In addition, Net income was impacted by higher interest costs.




Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights
At June 30, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents were $83 million, and our outstanding debt was $2,081 million resulting in net debt of $1,998 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2023, the Company made a voluntary principal payment of $100 million on its term loan facility.

Capital expenditures were $51 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $56 million in the prior year.
Operating cash flow of $207 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 represents a $106 million increase over the same period in the prior year primarily driven by reductions in working capital.

(1)The Company is not providing projected adjusted net income or adjusted earnings per share, as it does not anticipate using or presenting such non-GAAP metrics in these periods.
Reynolds Cooking & Baking is performing well and is on track for earnings consistent with historical levels in the second half of 2023.
Commodity rates have been consistent with Company expectations since reporting first quarter 2023 results and are expected to remain stable over the balance of the year.
The Company expects a 3% to 5% decline in third quarter net revenues consisting of essentially unchanged pricing and 3% to 5% lower volume. Memorial Day and July Fourth holiday promotions resulted in stronger second quarter shipments and higher household inventories at the start of the third quarter.

The Company expects full-year net revenues to be in line with prior year net revenues, plus or minus 1%, consisting of 2% higher pricing and 2% lower volume at the mid-point of the guide.
Consolidated retail volume is estimated to be in line with prior year consolidated retail volume.
Consolidated non-retail sales are estimated to be down $60 million by comparison to $268 million in the prior year.




“Our second quarter results exceeded our expectations driven by a better than expected top-line, operational and cost improvements in Reynolds Cooking & Baking and a continuation of restored profitability in our other three businesses,” said Chief Financial Officer, Michael Graham. “We reiterate expected net revenues guidance, increase full-year earnings expectations to reflect second quarter performance and issue guidance for continued margin expansion in the third quarter. We will continue to invest in advertising and proven promotional events while paying down debt driven by earnings growth, ongoing initiatives to reduce working capital and continued capital spending discipline.”

Quarterly Dividend
The Company’s Board of Directors has approved a quarterly dividend of $0.23 per common share. The Company expects to pay this dividend on August 31, 2023, to shareholders of record as of August 17, 2023.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use non-GAAP financial measures “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted Net Income,” “Adjusted Earnings Per Share,” and “Net Debt” in evaluating our past results and future prospects. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus the sum of income tax expense, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization and further adjusted to exclude IPO and separation-related costs. We define Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share (“Adjusted EPS”) as Net Income and Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus IPO and separation-related costs.  We define Net Debt as the current portion of long-term debt plus long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents.
We present Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions. In addition, our chief operating decision maker uses Adjusted EBITDA of each reportable segment to evaluate the operating performance of such segments. We use Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share as supplemental measures to evaluate our business’ performance in a way that also considers our ability to generate profit without the impact of certain items. We use Net Debt as we believe it is a more representative measure of our liquidity. Accordingly, we believe presenting these measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management team and board of directors.  
Non-GAAP information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as or comparable to similar non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.
Guidance for fiscal year and third quarter 2023, where adjusted, is provided on a non-GAAP basis. The Company cannot reconcile its expected Net Debt at December 31, 2023 to expected total debt without reasonable effort because certain items that impact total debt and other reconciling measures are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted at this time, to which unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s GAAP financial results.
Please see reconciliations of Non-GAAP measures used in this release (with the exception of our December 31, 2023 Net Debt outlook, as described above) to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, beginning on the following page.
