SECOND QUARTER GLOBAL PERFORMANCE

  • Revenue increased 4% to $593 million compared to $571 million. The increase was driven by revenue growth of 7% in Water Direct / Water Exchange and 18% in Water Refill / Water Filtration, due primarily to pricing initiatives and increased demand for products and services from residential and business customers, partially offset by the exits from our North America single use bottled water retail business and our business in Russia in the prior year. Revenue growth by channel is tabulated below:

  • Gross profit increased 11% to $368 million compared to $332 million. Gross margin increased 390 bps to 62.1% compared to 58.2%, driven by pricing initiatives, increased demand, and the exit from the single-use retail bottled water business in North America.
  • SG&A expenses increased 9% to $318 million compared to $292 million. The increase was driven by higher selling and operating costs that supported volume and revenue growth related primarily to labor costs increases and an increase in professional fees.
  • Reported net income and net income per diluted share were $21 million and $0.13, respectively, compared to reported net loss and net loss per diluted share of $23 million and $0.14, respectively. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share were $39 million and $0.24, respectively, compared to $33 million and $0.21 in the prior year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 13% to $122 million compared to $108 million, driven primarily by pricing initiatives, customer demand and effective expense management. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 20.5% for the quarter, compared to 18.9%.
  • Net cash provided by operating activities of $77 million, less $39 million of capital expenditures and additions to intangible assets, resulted in $38 million of free cash flow, or $41 million of adjusted free cash flow (adjusting for the items set forth on Exhibit 7), compared to adjusted free cash flow of $21 million in the prior year.

SECOND QUARTER REPORTING SEGMENT PERFORMANCE

QUARTERLY DIVIDEND

Primo Water announced that its Board of Directors declared a dividend of US$0.08 per share on common shares, payable in cash on September 7, 2023 to shareowners of record at the close of business on August 24, 2023.

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

Primo Water also announced that its Board of Directors authorized a new $50 million share repurchase program, which replaces the previously authorized share repurchase program that expires on August 14, 2023. Under the program, the Company’s common shares may be repurchased periodically in open market or privately negotiated transactions through the facilities of the NYSE.

The actual timing, manner, number, and value of shares repurchased under the program will be determined by management at its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of Primo Water’s common shares, general market and economic conditions, applicable law and other requirements, and other business considerations, provided however that the price per common share will not exceed the market price as at the date of acquisition (plus reasonable brokerage fees and commissions) in accordance with applicable securities laws and exchange rules.

ABOUT PRIMO WATER CORPORATION

Primo Water is a leading pure-play water solutions provider in North America and Europe and generated approximately $2.2 billion in annual revenue in 2022. Primo Water operates largely under a recurring revenue model in the large format water category (defined as 3 gallons or greater). This business strategy is commonly referred to as “razor-razorblade” because the initial sale of a product creates a base of users who frequently purchase complementary consumable products. The razor in Primo Water’s revenue model is its industry leading line-up of innovative water dispensers, which are sold through approximately 10,300 retail locations and online at various price points. The dispensers help increase household and business penetration which drives recurring purchases of Primo Water’s razorblade offering or water solutions. Primo Water’s razorblade offering is comprised of Water Direct, Water Exchange, and Water Refill. Through its Water Direct business, Primo Water delivers sustainable hydration solutions across its 21-country footprint direct to customers, whether at home or to businesses. Through its Water Exchange business, customers visit retail locations and purchase a pre-filled bottle of water. Once consumed, empty bottles are exchanged at our recycling center displays, which provide a ticket that offers a discount toward the purchase of a new bottle. Water Exchange is available in approximately 17,500 retail locations. Through its Water Refill business, customers refill empty bottles at approximately 23,500 self-service refill drinking water stations. Primo Water also offers water filtration units across its 21-country footprint.

Primo Water’s water solutions expand consumer access to purified, spring, and mineral water to promote a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle while simultaneously reducing plastic waste and pollution. Primo Water is committed to its water stewardship standards and is proud to partner with the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) in North America as well as with Watercoolers Europe (WE), which ensure strict adherence to safety, quality, sanitation and regulatory standards for the benefit of consumer protection.

Primo Water is headquartered in Tampa, Florida (USA). For more information, visit www.primowatercorp.com.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement its reporting of financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), Primo Water utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures.  Primo Water excludes from GAAP revenue the impact of foreign exchange to separate its impact from Primo Water’s results of operations.  Primo Water also utilizes Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to separate the impact of certain items from the underlying business.  Because Primo Water uses these adjusted financial results in the management of its business, management believes this supplemental information is useful to investors for their independent evaluation and understanding of Primo Water’s underlying business performance and the performance of its management.  Additionally, Primo Water supplements its reporting of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities from continuing operations determined in accordance with GAAP by excluding additions to property, plant and equipment and additions to intangible assets to present free cash flow, and by excluding the items identified on the exhibits hereto to present adjusted free cash flow, which management believes provides useful information to investors in assessing our performance, comparing Primo Water’s performance to the performance of the Company’s peer group and assessing the Company’s ability to service debt and finance strategic opportunities, which include investing in Primo Water’s business, making strategic acquisitions, paying dividends, and strengthening the balance sheet. With respect to the Company’s expectations of its future performance, the Company’s reconciliations of Q3 2023 and full year 2023 Adjusted EBITDA, 2024 Adjusted EBITDA, 2024 organic revenue growth and 2023 adjusted free cash flow guidance are not available, as the Company is unable to quantify certain amounts to the degree of precision that would be required in the relevant GAAP measures without unreasonable effort. These items include taxes, interest costs that would occur if the Company issued debt, and costs to acquire and/or sell a business if the Company executed such transactions, which could significantly affect our financial results. These items depend on highly variable factors and any such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. Primo Water expects the variability of these factors to have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on the Company’s future GAAP financial results. The non-GAAP financial measures described above are in addition to, and not meant to be considered superior to, or a substitute for, Primo Water’s financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this earnings announcement reflect management’s judgment of particular items, and may be different from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

(a) The tax effect for adjusted net income is based upon an analysis of the statutory tax treatment and the applicable tax rate for the jurisdiction in which the pre-tax adjusting items incurred and for which realization of the resulting tax benefit (if any) is expected. A reduced or 0% tax rate is applied to jurisdictions where we do not expect to realize a tax benefit due to a history of operating losses or other factors resulting in a valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets.
(b)  Includes the impact of dilutive securities of 745 and 896 for the three and six months ended July 2, 2022. These dilutive securities were excluded from GAAP diluted weighted average common shares outstanding due to net loss reported in the period.
