Business Wire

Wed, Apr 30, 2025, 4:00 AM 17 min read

Net Revenues of $818 million vs. $833 million in Q1 2024
- Retail Net Revenues decreased 3% to $767 million
- Retail volume decreased 4% and was impacted by a later Easter timing and retailer destocking
- Non-Retail Revenues, which comprises aluminum sales to food service and industrial customers, increased $12 million to $51 million
Net Income of $31 million vs. $49 million in Q1 2024; Adjusted Net Income of $49 million was unchanged vs. Q1 2024
Adjusted EBITDA of $117 million vs. $122 million in Q1 2024
Earnings Per Share of $0.15 vs. $0.23 in Q1 2024; Adjusted Earnings Per Share of $0.23 was unchanged vs. Q1 2024

Net Income decreased to $31 million versus $49 million in the first quarter of 2024, driven by $10 million of after tax refinancing costs and $8 million of after tax CEO transition costs and strategic investments in cost savings and revenue growth initiatives. Adjusted Net Income was unchanged year over year. Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $117 million reflecting lower volume and higher operational costs, partially offset by higher pricing and lower SG&A.

The Company refinanced the remaining $1.645 billion of its original $2.475 billion term loan facility during the quarter, extending the maturity of this debt to 2032 and further enhancing financial flexibility.

"We are executing well in a dynamic consumer and retail environment, outperforming our categories by two points in the quarter," said Scott Huckins, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our US-centric manufacturing platform and business model are resilient, and we are effectively navigating the near-term macro challenges in partnership with our retail customers. We are also making progress advancing initiatives to drive growth and margin expansion that deliver long term value."

Reynolds Cooking & Baking

Net Revenues increased $3 million to $259 million, reflecting higher Non-retail Revenues, partially offset by a decrease in Retail Net Revenues
Adjusted EBITDA increased $6 million to $38 million

Retail volume decreased 4% driven by inventory destocking and the later Easter timing, despite Reynolds Wrap growing and gaining share at retail.

The Adjusted EBITDA increase was driven by higher pricing and lapping of higher operational costs, partially offset by lower volume.

Hefty Waste & Storage

Net Revenues increased $6 million to $240 million
Adjusted EBITDA decreased $8 million to $59 million

Retail volume increased 3% despite the impact of retailer destocking, and Hefty Waste & Storage continued to outperform its categories. Hefty Fabuloso® waste bags, Hefty Press to Close food bags and other new products continued to deliver strong growth while expanding distribution with promotional spend flat to the prior year.

The Adjusted EBITDA decrease was driven by higher operational costs, partially offset by higher volume.

Hefty Tableware

Net Revenues decreased $29 million to $179 million
Adjusted EBITDA decreased $13 million to $17 million

Retail volume decreased 16%, driven by foam declines, retailer destocking and the later Easter timing. The remainder of the Tableware portfolio grew and continued to outperform its categories at retail.

The Adjusted EBITDA decrease was driven by lower foam volume and higher operational costs, partially offset by higher pricing reflecting the timing of promotional activities.

Presto Products

Net Revenues were unchanged at $143 million
Adjusted EBITDA decreased $3 million to $26 million

Retail volume was unchanged and was impacted by retailer destocking. Presto’s portfolio gained additional share in store brand food bags at retail.

The Adjusted EBITDA decrease was driven by higher operational costs.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

Cash and cash equivalents were $58 million at March 31, 2025 and debt was $1,637 million resulting in Net Debt of $1,579 million.

Net Debt to Trailing Twelve Months Adjusted EBITDA¹ was 2.3x on March 31, 2025 and within the Company’s target leverage range.

The Company refinanced the remaining $1.645 billion of its original $2.475 billion term loan facility during the quarter, following the upsizing of its undrawn revolving credit facility to $700 million in October 2024. The moves further strengthen the Company’s liquidity and extend maturities to 2029 (revolving credit facility) and 2032 (term loan).

"We delivered earnings in line with our expectations, in spite of a headwind from retailer destocking, demonstrating the advantages of our business model and our responsiveness as an organization," said Nathan Lowe, Chief Financial Officer. "We are implementing proven plans to mitigate near-term impacts to cost and consumer demand, while remaining focused on initiatives to deliver future growth and margin expansion through targeted investment and other programs."

Fiscal Year 2025 and Second Quarter Outlook

The Company continues to expect 2025 Net Revenues to be down low single digits by comparison to 2024 Net Revenues and now expects Adjusted EBITDA of $650 million to $670 million and Adjusted EPS of $1.54 to $1.61 for the year.

Two to four points of positive pricing are expected for the year, to offset additional cost increases resulting both directly and indirectly from tariffs.

Retail volume continues to be expected at or above category performance but more pressure is expected on Company categories, which were previously estimated to be down 2% for the year.

Second quarter 2025 Net Revenues are expected to be down 2% to 5% versus second quarter 2024 Net Revenues of $930 million. Second quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be $155 million to $165 million. Second quarter Adjusted EPS is expected to be $0.35 to $0.39.

Full-year 2025 expected Adjusted Net Income reflects the following estimated adjustments from Net Income: $25 million to $35 million of pre-tax CEO transition costs and strategic investments in cost savings and revenue growth initiatives and $13 million of pre-tax costs related to refinancing the Company’s term loan in the first quarter. In addition, full-year 2025 expected Adjusted EBITDA excludes estimated depreciation and amortization of approximately $130 million.

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 May 30, 2025, to shareholders of record as of May 16, 2025.

(2) During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we reassigned certain product lines supporting international distribution across our segments to better align with our strategic objectives. All prior period segment disclosures have been recast to reflect this reassignment. Our composition of operating segments and reportable segments did not change, and this reassignment had no effect on our previously reported consolidated results of operations.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use non-GAAP financial measures "Adjusted EBITDA," "Adjusted Net Income," "Adjusted Earnings Per Share," "Net Debt," and "Net Debt to Trailing Twelve Months Adjusted EBITDA" 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, debt refinancing expense, depreciation and amortization, costs to execute strategic initiatives and CEO transition 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 the after-tax impact of debt refinancing expense, costs to execute strategic initiatives and CEO transition costs. We define Net Debt as the current portion of long-term debt plus long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents. We define Net Debt to Trailing Twelve Months Adjusted EBITDA as Net Debt (as defined above) as of the end of the period to Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) for the period.

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 EPS 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. We use Net Debt to Trailing Twelve Months Adjusted EBITDA because it reflects our ability to service our debt obligations. We present Conversion of Adjusted EBITDA as it measures our management of working capital and profit conversion to cash. 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 second quarter 2025, where adjusted, is provided on a non-GAAP basis. While the Company is providing estimated amounts for certain of the expected adjustments in this release, the Company cannot provide full reconciliations for its expected second quarter and fiscal year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS to expected Net Income and expected EPS under "Fiscal Year 2025 and Second Quarter 2025 Outlook" without unreasonable effort because certain items that impact Net Income and EPS and other reconciling metrics are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted at this time, which unavailable information is not expected to 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 fiscal year and second quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS outlook, as described above) to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, beginning on the following page.
