First Quarter 2024 Summary(1)(2)(3)
1
“This quarter, we launched and are accelerating our Project Core initiatives positioning us to offset the impact of an ongoing challenging macroeconomic and business environment,” said Gerry Smith, chief executive officer of The ODP Corporation. “Despite our slower than expected start to the year, we remain confident in our operational excellence approach and committed to achieving our guidance for the full year 2024, as we utilize our strong foundation and accelerate the broad execution of Project Core.”
“During the quarter, more cautious spending activity and ongoing delays in the onboarding of new customers at ODP Business Solutions impacted their performance, while reduced consumer activity affected Office Depot’s revenue results. Despite this, we remain encouraged by our ongoing success in winning new enterprise customers through the flexibility of our service platform and strength of our balance sheet. Additionally, Veyer demonstrated continued momentum by attracting new third-party customers and continuing to drive growth in external EBITDA. Furthermore, we maintained our focus on capital allocation and increased the pace of share repurchases, buying back approximately $90 million of our stock since the beginning of the year. We expect to execute under this plan at similar levels or higher as we move through the balance of the year," added Smith.
“Given the slower than expected start to the year and our continued commitment to our low-cost business model, we are accelerating our plans for Project Core throughout the balance of the year, generating higher in-year cost savings and future annualized run-rate savings in excess of $100 million. Additionally, we have arrived at the strategic decision to pursue a sale of Varis, which our Board of Directors have approved. Concurrently, we have reduced the operating cost of Varis to further refine their focus, while continuing to support new and existing customers. Through the acceleration of Project Core, the additional cost efficiencies we are driving now and in the second half of the year have positioned us to increase guidance for adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS,” Smith continued.
“Despite the top-line challenges, we remain encouraged about the future and we’re confident in our operational excellence approach and position of strength. We will continue to focus on driving our low-cost business model, leveraging our multiple routes to market, and executing on our capital allocation plan,” Smith concluded.
Consolidated Results
Reported (GAAP) Results
Total reported sales for the first quarter of 2024 were $1.9 billion, a decrease of 11% compared with the same period last year. This result was driven primarily by lower sales in its consumer division, Office Depot, primarily due to 56 fewer stores in service compared to last year related to planned store closures, as well as lower retail and online consumer traffic and transactions. Sales at ODP Business Solutions Division were also down compared to last year, largely driven by weaker economic activity and more cautious spending among business customers, as well as continued challenges related to the pace of onboarding new customers. Meanwhile, Veyer provided strong logistics support for the ODP Business Solutions and Office Depot Divisions and continued to capture additional sales for its supply chain and procurement solutions among other third-party customers.
The Company reported GAAP operating income of $18 million in the first quarter of 2024, down compared to GAAP operating income of $95 million in the prior year period. Operating results in the first quarter of 2024 included $33 million of charges, primarily related to $27 million in net merger and restructuring expenses and $6 million non-cash asset impairment primarily related to the operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets associated with the Company’s retail store locations. Net income from continuing operations was $15 million, or $0.40 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2024, down compared to net income from continuing operations of $72 million, or $1.71 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2023.

Adjusted (non-GAAP) Results(1)
Adjusted results for the first quarter of 2024 exclude charges and credits totaling $33 million as described above and the associated tax impacts.
Division Results
ODP Business Solutions Division
Leading B2B distribution solutions provider serving small, medium and enterprise level companies with an annual trailing-twelve-month revenue of $3.8 billion.
Office Depot Division
Leading provider of retail consumer and small business products and services distributed via Office Depot and OfficeMax retail locations and an award-winning eCommerce presence.
Veyer Division
Nationwide supply chain, distribution, procurement and global sourcing operation supporting Office Depot and ODP Business Solutions, as well as third-party customers. Veyer’s assets and capabilities include 8 million square feet of infrastructure through a network of distribution centers, cross-docks, and other facilities throughout the United States; a global sourcing presence in Asia; a large private fleet of vehicles; and next-day delivery to 98.5% of US population.
3
Varis Division
Tech-enabled B2B indirect procurement marketplace launched in the fourth quarter of 2022, which provides buyers and suppliers a seamless way to transact through the platform’s consumer-like buying experience and advanced spend management tools.
Share Repurchases
The Company continued to execute under its previously announced $1 billion share repurchase authorization valid through March 31, 2027. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company repurchased 957 thousand shares at a cost of $50 million. Since the end of the first quarter 2024, the Company repurchased additional shares for approximately $40 million.
“Through our balanced capital allocation strategy, we are investing in the future of our business while continuing to enhance value for shareholders by accelerating the pace of share repurchases under our buyback authorization,” stated Anthony Scaglione, executive vice president and chief financial officer of The ODP Corporation. “We have come out of the gate strong, repurchasing approximately $90 million of our stock, and moving forward, we expect to maintain or increase this pace of share repurchases in the near term, while also enhancing our focus and driving our low-cost business model through Project Core.”
The number of shares to be repurchased under the authorization in the future and the timing of such transactions will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, regulatory requirements, and other corporate considerations. The new authorization could be suspended or discontinued at any time as determined by the Board of Directors.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of March 30, 2024, ODP had total available liquidity of approximately $971 million, consisting of $282 million in cash and cash equivalents and $689 million of available credit under the Third Amended Credit Agreement. Total debt was $125 million.
For the first quarter of 2024, cash generated by operating activities of continuing operations was $38 million, which included $4 million in restructuring spend, compared to cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations of $157 million in the first quarter of the prior year, which included $5 million in restructuring and other spend. The year-over-year change in operating cash flow is largely related to the timing of certain working capital items.
Capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2024 were $35 million versus $27 million in the prior year period, reflecting continued growth investments in the Company’s digital transformation, distribution network, and eCommerce capabilities. Adjusted Free Cash Flow(3) was $7 million in the first quarter of 2024, compared to $133 million in the prior year period.
Accelerating Project Core and Maximizing In-Year and Run-Rate Savings
As the Company previously announced, Project Core is a plan designed to create further efficiencies in its business, focused on driving enhanced operating results and increasing shareholder returns through an expanded share repurchase program. This broad-based plan includes cost improvement actions across the entire enterprise, including all routes to market, Varis, procurement, IT and shared services, encompassing the entirety of ODP’s enterprise, optimizing its organizational structure to support future growth of the business. As part of this effort, the Company conducted a thorough review of strategic options for its Varis business unit. As
4
a result, its Board of Directors has approved a plan to sell the Varis business, with activities commencing immediately.
The Company is accelerating its efforts under Project Core, working to maximize the in-year and full year run-rate savings enhancing its future operating position. Considering the acceleration of Project Core, the Company now expects to realize in year savings of approximately $50 million, excluding Varis, and annualized savings of over $100 million when fully implemented. Restructuring and related charges associated with these actions, excluding Varis, are now estimated to be in the range of $40 million to $50 million and are expected to be substantially incurred throughout 2024. The Company expects to begin reducing costs in the second quarter of 2024, with most of these actions expected to be completed over the following 12 months.
“Aligned with our low-cost business model mindset, our decision to accelerate Project Core will enable us to maximize in-year and future run-rate cost savings,” said Smith.
2024 Guidance
“Despite our slow start to the year, we remain confident in our operational excellence approach and enthusiastic about the opportunities in our business to drive long-term value while remaining focused on prudently deploying capital to the benefit of shareholders,” said Smith. “As we continue to move forward into 2024, we remain cautious regarding the macroeconomic and business environment, and we will remain focused on executing upon our strategy through Project Core, meeting our near term commitments, and positioning ODP for long-term success.”
“While macroeconomic and general business conditions posed challenges in the quarter and we expect these conditions to persist in the near term, our team’s continued focus on driving our low-cost model, enhanced by our acceleration and focused nature of Project Core, have positioned us to update our operational guidance for 2024,” Scaglione added.
The Company is updating its full year guidance for 2024 as follows:
|
Previous FY 2024 Guidance(1) |
Updated FY 2024 Guidance(1) |
Sales |
Decline of 2% - 5% |
Affirmed Lower End |
Adjusted EBITDA(1) |
$410 million - $430 million |
Increased to $430 million - $450 million |
Adjusted Operating Income(1) |
$280 million - $300 million |
Increased to $320 million - $340 million |
Adjusted Earnings per Share (fully diluted)(*)(1) |
$5.60 - $5.80 per share |
Increased to $6.30 - $6.60 per share |
Adjusted Free Cash Flow(1)(3) |
Greater than $200 million |
Affirmed |
*Adjusted Earnings per Share (fully diluted) (EPS) guidance for 2024 excludes potential discrete (tax) items that may affect quarter to quarter fluctuations and includes expected impact from share repurchases
The Company’s full year guidance for 2024 includes non-GAAP measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share (fully diluted) and Adjusted Free Cash Flow. These measures exclude charges or credits not indicative of core operations, which may include but not be limited to restructuring charges, capital expenditures, acquisition-related costs, executive transition costs, asset impairments and other significant items that currently cannot be predicted without unreasonable efforts. The exact amount of these charges or credits are not currently determinable but may be significant. Accordingly, the Company is unable to provide equivalent GAAP measures or reconciliations from GAAP to non-GAAP for these financial measures.
“Our revenue guidance assumes stabilization of macroeconomic and business conditions, as well as continued store footprint consolidation and improving overall omni-channel trends at Office Depot. Additionally, our guidance assumes growth at ODP Business Solutions in the second half of the year, and continued expansion at Veyer. With the Board’s decision, going forward, Varis will be classified as held for sale and we are moving to complete that transaction in the very near term. Our adjusted EPS outlook assumes higher interest expense associated with projected ABL borrowings along with a more normalized tax rate for the balance of the year. While our guidance assumes incremental improvement in the overall macroeconomic environment throughout 2024, we remain cautious on the state of the overall US economy, primarily workforce employment and the
5
consumer, as well as international trade policies and agreements that could further impact the level of consumer and business confidence,” Scaglione added.

THE ODP CORPORATION
GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations
(Unaudited)
We report our results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). We also review certain financial measures excluding impacts of transactions that are not related to our core operations (“non-GAAP”). Management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures enhances the ability of its investors to analyze trends in its business and provides a means to compare periods that may be affected by various items that might obscure trends or developments in its business. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures to assist in making business decisions and assessing overall performance. Non-GAAP measures help to evaluate programs and activities that are intended to attract and satisfy customers, separate from expenses and credits directly associated with Merger, restructuring, and certain similar items. Certain non-GAAP measures are also used for short and long-term incentive programs.
Our measurement of these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from similarly titled financial measures used by others and therefore may not be comparable. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to the GAAP measures, but only to clarify some information and assist the reader. We have included reconciliations of this information to the most comparable GAAP measures in the tables included within this material.
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure, which we define as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures and changes in restricted cash. We believe that free cash flow is an important indicator that provides additional perspective on our ability to generate cash to fund our strategy and expand our distribution network. Adjusted free cash flow is also a non-GAAP measure, which we define as free cash flow excluding cash charges associated with the Company’s Maximize B2B and Project Core Restructuring, and the previously planned separation of the consumer business and re-alignment.
