Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(In millions, except per share data and unless otherwise indicated)

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the accounts of Pactiv Evergreen Inc. (“PTVE”) and its subsidiaries (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Although our current estimates contemplate current conditions and how we expect them to change in the future, as appropriate, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could differ from what was anticipated in those estimates, which could materially affect our results of operations, balance sheet and cash flows. Among other effects, such changes could result in future impairments of goodwill, intangibles and long-lived assets, and adjustments to reserves for employee benefits and income taxes. The estimated recoverable amounts associated with asset impairments represent Level 3 measurements in the fair value hierarchy, which include inputs that are not based on observable market data.

Reclassifications and Revision to Restricted Cash

We made reclassifications to certain previously reported financial information to conform to our current period presentation.

During 2023, we revised the presentation of restricted cash balances on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows to include restricted cash in the beginning and ending balances for all periods presented. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our consolidated balance sheets included $24 million of restricted cash classified as noncurrent assets. There was no impact to our operating, investing or financing cash flow activities. The impact to all previously reported interim and annual periods was not material. As of March 31, 2024, there were no restricted cash balances on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We reviewed all recently issued accounting pronouncements and, except for the items below, concluded that they were either not applicable or not expected to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 Segment Reporting - Improving Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). The ASU is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant expenses. The ASU requires disclosures to include significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (the "CODM"), a description of other segment items by reportable segment and any additional measures of a segment’s profit or loss used by the CODM when deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU also requires all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 to be included in interim periods. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments should be applied on a retrospective basis to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting the updated provisions.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740) requiring enhanced income tax disclosures. The ASU requires the disclosure of specific categories and disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation table. The ASU also requires disclosure of disaggregated information related to income taxes paid, income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit, and income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations. The requirements of the ASU are effective for

Pactiv Evergreen Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. We are currently assessing the impact of the ASU on our related disclosures.

In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules under SEC Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors, which, as adopted, require registrants to include certain climate-related information in their annual reports and registration statements. The rules require, among other matters, information about climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on a registrant’s business, results of operations or financial condition. The required information about climate-related risks also includes disclosure of a registrant’s greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the rules would require registrants to include certain climate-related financial disclosures in their audited financial statements. As adopted, these disclosure requirements would be phased in over several years beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2026. However, while the SEC has adopted these rules, the rules have been stayed and are subject to pending legal and political challenges causing significant uncertainty regarding when and how they will ultimately apply to us. We are currently assessing the impact of these rules on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 2. Restructuring, Asset Impairment and Other Related Charges

Footprint Optimization

On February 29, 2024, we announced the Footprint Optimization, a restructuring plan approved by our Board of Directors to optimize our manufacturing and warehousing footprint that we expect will improve our operating efficiency. We expect to incur capital expenditures of $40 million to $45 million, total cash restructuring charges of $50 million to $65 million and total non-cash charges of $20 million to $40 million, each primarily during 2024 and 2025, to execute our plan. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we incurred cash charges of $8 million primarily related to ongoing optimization activities and non-cash charges of $2 million primarily related to accelerated property, plant and equipment depreciation. The estimated ranges of restructuring charges are provisional and include significant management judgments and assumptions that could change materially as we execute our plans. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and the execution of our plan could result in additional restructuring charges or impairments.

Beverage Merchandising Restructuring

On March 6, 2023, we announced the Beverage Merchandising Restructuring, a plan approved by our Board of Directors to take significant restructuring actions related to our Beverage Merchandising operations. The Beverage Merchandising Restructuring includes, among other things:

•Closure of our Canton, North Carolina mill, including the cessation of mill operations, during the second quarter of 2023;

•Closure of our Olmsted Falls, Ohio converting facility and concurrent reallocation of certain production to our remaining converting facilities during the second quarter of 2023; and

•Reorganizing our operating and reporting structure to achieve increased efficiencies and related cost savings.

We also continue to explore strategic alternatives for our Pine Bluff, Arkansas mill and our Waynesville, North Carolina facility. We have not set a timetable in relation to this process.

As a result of the Beverage Merchandising Restructuring, we incurred charges during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and we estimate we will incur further charges in future periods, as follows:

Total cash charges	$	8	$	154	$	160
Total Beverage Merchandising Restructuring charges	$	11	$	481	$	490

(1)We expect to incur any remaining charges during 2024. These charges include certain estimates that are provisional and include significant management judgments and assumptions that could change materially as we complete the execution of our plans. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and the completion of our plan could result in additional restructuring charges or impairments not reflected above.

(2)Total cash charges exclude the benefit of any potential cash proceeds related to possible sales of any property, plant and equipment that may be disposed of as part of our ongoing restructuring activities. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we received $4 million in cash proceeds and recognized an immaterial gain on the sale of these assets. Cash proceeds received during the three months ended March 31, 2024 were immaterial. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we classified $4 million of properties as held for sale related to our Beverage Merchandising Restructuring and expect to recognize an immaterial gain on the sale of these properties.

(3)Other non-cash charges include the write-down of certain spare parts classified as inventories on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, the write-off of scrapped raw materials and certain construction in-progress balances and accelerated amortization expense for certain operating lease right-of-use assets.

(4)Exit, disposal and other transition costs are primarily related to equipment decommissioning and dismantlement, transition labor associated with the facility closures and management restructuring, site remediation, contract terminations, systems conversion and other related costs.

The Beverage Merchandising Restructuring charges, Footprint Optimization charges and other restructuring and asset impairment charges (net of reversals) were classified on our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) as follows by segment:

	Food and Beverage Merchandising		Foodservice		Other		Total
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

Credit Agreement

PTVE and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries are parties to a senior secured credit agreement dated August 5, 2016 as amended (the “Credit Agreement”). As of March 31, 2024, the Credit Agreement comprised the following term and revolving tranches:

	Maturity Date	Value Drawn or Utilized		Applicable Interest Rate
Term Tranches
U.S. term loans Tranche B-2	February 5, 2026	$	690	SOFR (floor of 0.000%) + 3.250%
U.S. term loans Tranche B-3	September 24, 2028	$	990	SOFR (floor of 0.500%) + 3.250%
Revolving Tranche(1)
U.S. Revolving Loans	August 5, 2025	$	49		—

(1)The Revolving Tranche represents a $250 million facility. The amount utilized is in the form of letters of credit.

We borrowed $18 million of our $250 million Revolving Tranche facility and repaid the amount plus interest during the first quarter of 2024.

On May 1, 2024, we further amended the Credit Agreement to increase the capacity on our Revolving Tranche facility from $250 million to $1,100 million and extend the maturity date to May 1, 2029. We also amended the applicable interest rate and other pricing terms, including by replacing the facility fee with a lower fee on unutilized capacity. There were no other material changes to the terms of the Credit Agreement as a result of this amendment.

The weighted average contractual interest rate related to our U.S. term loans Tranche B-2 and B-3 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 8.70%. The weighted average contractual interest rates related to our U.S. term loans Tranche B-2 and B-3 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were 7.77% and 7.78%, respectively. Including the impact of interest rate swap agreements, which were entered into in the fourth quarter of 2022, the weighted average rates on our U.S. term loans were 7.91% and 7.59% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively. The effective interest rates of our debt obligations under the Credit Agreement are not materially different from the contractual interest rates. Refer to Note 8, Financial Instruments, for additional details regarding the interest rate swap agreements.

PTVE and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries have guaranteed on a senior basis the obligations under the Credit Agreement to the extent permitted by law. The borrowers and the guarantors have granted security over substantially all of their assets to support the obligations under the Credit Agreement. This security is expected to be shared on a first priority basis with the holders of the Notes.

Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement may be voluntarily repaid, in whole or in part, and must be mandatorily repaid in certain circumstances. We are required to make quarterly amortization payments of 0.25% of the principal amount of our U.S. term loans Tranche B-3. Additionally, we are required to make annual prepayments of term loans with up to 50% of excess cash flow (which will be reduced to 25% or 0% if specified senior secured first lien leverage ratios are met) as determined in accordance with the Credit Agreement. No excess cash flow prepayments were due for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants which restrict us from certain activities including, among others, incurring debt, creating liens over assets, selling assets and making restricted payments, in each case except as permitted under the Credit Agreement.

Notes

As of March 31, 2024, our outstanding notes were as follows:

	Maturity Date	Interest Payment Dates

Total fair value	$	8	$	(6	)	$	6	$	(12	)

Our derivatives are comprised of commodity and interest rate swaps and foreign currency exchange forward contracts. All derivatives represent Level 2 financial assets and liabilities. Our derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the observable market index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount or based on pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as commodity prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Our calculation of the fair value of these financial instruments takes into consideration the risk of non-performance, including counterparty credit risk. The majority of our derivative contracts do not have a legal right of set-off. We manage the credit risk in connection with our derivatives by limiting the amount of exposure with each counterparty and monitoring the financial condition of our counterparties.

During the first quarter of 2024, we entered into foreign currency exchange forward contracts to reduce our risk from exchange rate fluctuations associated with purchases denominated in a foreign currency. We are exposed to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates due to the global nature of our operations and certain commodity risks. In order to manage these risks, we hedged portions of our forecasted purchases expected to occur within the next twelve months that are denominated in non-functional currencies, with foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges. As of March 31, 2024, we had contracts with U.S. dollar equivalent notional amounts of $34 million to exchange the Mexican peso. We believe it is probable that all forecasted cash flow transactions will occur.

During the fourth quarter of 2022, we entered into derivative financial instruments with several large financial institutions which swapped the LIBO rate for a weighted average fixed rate of 4.120% for an aggregate notional amount of $1,000 million to hedge a portion of the interest rate exposure resulting from our U.S. term loans. These instruments are classified as cash flow hedges and mature in October 2025. In April 2023, we amended our interest rate swap agreements to replace the interest rate benchmark from LIBOR to SOFR, effective for swap payments for the period commencing April 28, 2023. Other than the foregoing, the material terms of the interest rate swap agreements remain unchanged, including the weighted average fixed rate of 4.120%, and our election to use certain practical expedients under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 848: Reference Rate Reform resulted in no material impacts on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized an unrealized loss of $1 million within other comprehensive income (loss) for our foreign currency exchange forward contracts. As of March 31, 2024, we expected to reclassify $1 million of losses, net of tax, from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCL”) to earnings over the next twelve months. The actual amount that will be reclassified to future earnings may vary from this amount as a result of changes in market conditions.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we recognized realized gains of $3 million and $1 million, respectively, within interest expense, net and an unrealized gain of $11 million and an unrealized loss of $7 million, respectively, within other comprehensive income (loss) for our interest rate derivatives. As of March 31, 2024, we expected to reclassify $6 million of gains, net of tax, from AOCL to earnings over the next twelve months. The actual amount that will be reclassified to future earnings may vary from this amount as a result of changes in market conditions.

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

We are from time to time party to litigation, legal proceedings and tax examinations arising from our operations. Most of these matters involve allegations of damages against us relating to employment matters, personal injury and commercial or contractual disputes. We are also involved in various administrative and other proceedings relating to environmental matters that arise in the normal course of business, and we may become involved in similar matters in the future. We record estimates for claims and proceedings that constitute a present obligation when it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of such obligation can be made. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of any of these matters, based on our assessment of the facts and circumstances, we do not believe any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our balance sheet, results of operations or cash flows. However, actual outcomes may differ from those expected and could have a material effect on our balance sheet, results of operations or cash flows in a future period. Except for amounts provided, there were no legal proceedings pending other than those for which we have determined that the possibility of a material outflow is remote.

Indemnities

As part of the agreements for the sale of various businesses, we have provided certain warranties and indemnities to the respective purchasers as set out in the respective sale agreements. These warranties and indemnities are subject to various terms and conditions affecting the duration and total amount of the indemnities. Any claims pursuant to these warranties and indemnities, if successful, could have a material effect on our balance sheet, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 13. Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 represent our estimate of the annual effective tax rates expected to be applicable for the respective full fiscal years, adjusted for any discrete events which are recorded in the period that they occur.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized a tax expense of $5 million on income before tax of $15 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized a tax benefit of $19 million on loss before tax of $152 million. The effective tax rate for the aforementioned periods was driven primarily by the inability to recognize a tax benefit on all interest expense.

We are under audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other taxing authorities. The IRS is currently auditing our U.S. income tax returns for 2016-2017. As of March 31, 2024, we have not received any proposed adjustments from taxing authorities that would be material. Although the ultimate timing is uncertain, it is reasonably possible that a reduction of up to $9 million of unrecognized tax benefits could occur within the next twelve months due to changes in audit status, settlements of tax assessments and other events.

Note 15. Equity Based Compensation

We established the Pactiv Evergreen Inc. Equity Incentive Plan for purposes of granting stock or other equity based compensation awards to our employees (including our senior management), directors, consultants and advisors.

Equity based compensation costs were $7 million and $5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, substantially all of which was recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Restricted Stock Units

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to certain members of management and a member of our Board of Directors. These RSUs require future service to be provided and generally vest in annual installments over a period of three years beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. During the vesting period, the RSUs carry dividend-equivalent rights, but the RSUs do not have voting rights. The RSUs and any related dividend-equivalent rights are forfeited in the event the holder is no longer an employee on the vesting date,

unless the holder satisfies certain retirement-eligibility criteria. The following table summarizes RSU activity during 2024:

(In thousands, except per share amounts)	Number of RSUs			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested, at January 1		2,707		$	10.06
Granted(1)		1,568			13.02
Forfeited		(15	)		9.50
Vested		(957	)		13.08
Non-vested, at March 31		3,303		$	10.59

(1)Included 21 thousand shares reserved for issuance upon the settlement of dividend-equivalent rights carried by the reported RSUs concurrently with the settlement of such RSUs for shares.

Unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs as of March 31, 2024 was $24 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years. The total vest date fair value of shares that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $12 million.

Performance Share Units

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we granted performance share units (“PSUs”) to certain members of management which vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. Based on the achievement of a company performance target during a performance period set by our Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, upon vesting, the PSUs are exchanged for a number of shares of common stock equal to the number of PSUs multiplied by a factor between 0% and 200%. We use our stock price on the grant date to estimate the fair value of our PSUs. We adjust the expense based on the likelihood of future achievement of performance metrics. If any of the performance targets are not achieved, the awards are forfeited. During the vesting period, the PSUs carry dividend-equivalent rights, but the PSUs do not have voting rights. The PSUs and any related dividend-equivalent rights are forfeited in the event the holder is no longer an employee on the vesting date, unless the holder satisfies certain retirement-eligibility criteria. The following table summarizes PSU activity during 2024:

(In thousands, except per share amounts)	Number of PSUs			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested, at January 1		2,846		$	9.52
Granted(1)		820			13.04
Forfeited		(281	)		9.79
Non-vested, at March 31		3,385		$	10.35

(1)Included 22 thousand shares reserved for issuance upon the settlement of dividend-equivalent rights carried by the reported PSUs concurrently with the settlement of such PSUs for shares.

Unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested PSUs as of March 31, 2024 was $27 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years.

On April 30, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.10 per share to be paid on June 14, 2024 to shareholders of record as of May 31, 2024.

Note 17. Segment Information

In the second quarter of 2023, in conjunction with the Beverage Merchandising Restructuring, we implemented a new operating and reporting structure resulting in the combination of our legacy Food Merchandising and Beverage Merchandising segments, creating our Food and Beverage Merchandising segment. Refer to Note 2, Restructuring, Asset Impairment and Other Related Charges, for additional details. We also reorganized the management of certain product lines from our Foodservice segment to our Food and Beverage Merchandising segment.

As of the end of the second quarter of 2023, we analyzed the results of our business through our Foodservice and Food and Beverage Merchandising segments. All prior periods have been recast to reflect the current reportable segment structure and the change in the management of certain product lines. These reportable segments reflect our operating structure and the manner in which our CODM, who is our President and Chief Executive Officer, assesses information for decision-making purposes. The key factors used to identify these reportable segments are the organization of our internal operations and the nature of our products. This reflects how our CODM monitors performance, allocates capital and makes strategic and operational decisions. Our reportable segments are described as follows:

Foodservice - Manufactures a broad range of products that enable consumers to eat and drink where they want and when they want with convenience. Foodservice manufactures food containers, drinkware (hot and cold cups and lids), tableware, serviceware and other products which make eating on-the-go more enjoyable and easy to do.

Food and Beverage Merchandising - Manufactures products that protect and attractively display food and beverages while preserving freshness. Food and Beverage Merchandising products include cartons for fresh refrigerated beverage products, primarily serving dairy (including plant-based, organic and specialties), juice and other specialty beverage end-markets, clear rigid-display containers, containers for prepared and ready-to-eat food, trays for meat and poultry and egg cartons. It also produces fiber-based liquid packaging board for its internal requirements and to sell to other fresh beverage carton manufacturers. Prior to June 2023, it also produced a range of paper-based products which it sold to paper and packaging converters.

Other/Unallocated - We previously had other operating segments that did not meet the threshold for presentation as a reportable segment. These operating segments comprised the remaining components of our former closures businesses, which generated revenue from the sale of caps and closures, and are presented as “Other”. As of March 31, 2023, we had disposed of all of the remaining components of our former closures businesses. Unallocated includes corporate costs, primarily relating to general and administrative functions such as finance, tax and legal and the effects of the PPPE.

Information by Segment

We present reportable segment Adjusted EBITDA as this is the financial measure by which management and our CODM allocate resources and analyze the performance of our reportable segments.

A segment’s Adjusted EBITDA represents its earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization and is further adjusted to exclude certain items, including but not limited to restructuring, asset impairment and other related charges, gains or losses on the sale of businesses and noncurrent assets, non-cash pension income or expense, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives, foreign exchange gains or losses on cash and gains or losses on certain legal settlements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Our discussion and analysis is intended to help the reader understand our results of operations and financial condition and is provided as an addition to, and should be read in connection with, our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Our Company

We are a leading manufacturer and distributor of fresh foodservice and food merchandising products and fresh beverage cartons in North America. We produce a broad range of on-trend and feature-rich products that protect, package and display food and beverages for today’s consumers. Our products include containers, drinkware (such as hot and cold cups and lids), cartons for fresh refrigerated beverage products, tableware, meat and poultry trays, liquid packaging board, serviceware, prepared food trays and egg cartons. Our products, many of which are made with recycled, recyclable or renewable materials, are sold to a diversified mix of customers, including restaurants, foodservice distributors, retailers, food and beverage producers, packers and processors.

Business Environment

In the first quarter of 2024, we continued to experience moderation in consumer demand for certain of our products, primarily driven by sustained high levels of inflation and general macroeconomic uncertainty. While we have not observed a material economic contraction to-date, we anticipate these pressures may persist, impacting consumer demand and thus our customers’ purchasing decisions and order patterns throughout the remainder of 2024.

In recent years, we experienced meaningful input cost inflation and challenging labor market conditions. While inflationary pressures moderated during 2023, the recent rise in commodity prices may lead to upward pressure on our input costs in 2024. We believe our pricing strategy provides us with flexibility to manage our market position through cost recovery mechanisms and strategic competitive pricing. In this dynamic environment, we remain focused on servicing our customers, improving manufacturing productivity and optimizing costs across our business.

During the first quarter of 2024, we announced the Footprint Optimization, a strategic initiative to optimize our manufacturing and warehousing footprint. We expect these actions will improve our operating efficiency and result in meaningful cost savings in 2025 and beyond.

The increase in interest rates from historically low levels in recent years, higher levels of inflation and geopolitical factors continue to create uncertainty with respect to the economic outlook. If economic conditions were to deteriorate, a further decline in consumer spending may result, which could lead to a meaningful decline in demand for our products in the remainder of 2024 and beyond.

Recent Developments and Items Impacting Comparability

Footprint Optimization

On February 29, 2024, we announced the Footprint Optimization, a restructuring plan approved by our Board of Directors to optimize our manufacturing and warehousing footprint that we expect will improve our operating efficiency.

Refer to Note 2, Restructuring, Asset Impairment and Other Related Charges, for additional details.

Beverage Merchandising Restructuring

On March 6, 2023, we announced the Beverage Merchandising Restructuring, a plan approved by our Board of Directors to take significant restructuring actions related to our Beverage Merchandising operations. We expect these actions to increase our production efficiency, streamline our management structure and reduce our ongoing capital expenditures and overhead costs.

We expect that the Beverage Merchandising Restructuring will enable us to maintain our strong position in the liquid packaging market by increasing our overall productivity over time and optimizing our manufacturing footprint. It also resulted in our exit from the uncoated freesheet paper market.

We also continue to explore strategic alternatives for our Pine Bluff, Arkansas mill and our Waynesville, North Carolina facility. We have not set a timetable in relation to this process.

The operations impacted by the Beverage Merchandising Restructuring did not qualify for presentation as discontinued operations.

25

Refer to Note 2, Restructuring, Asset Impairment and Other Related Charges, for additional details.

Non-GAAP Measures – Adjusted EBITDA

In addition to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, we make use of the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate and manage our business and to plan and make near-term and long-term operating and strategic decisions.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus the sum of income tax expense, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization and further adjusted to exclude certain items, including but not limited to restructuring, asset impairment and other related charges, gains or losses on the sale of businesses and noncurrent assets, non-cash pension income or expense, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives, foreign exchange gains or losses on cash and gains or losses on certain legal settlements.

We present Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, make strategic decisions and incentivize and reward our employees. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides 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. We also believe that using Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis because it excludes variations primarily caused by changes in the items noted above. In addition, our CODM, who is our President and Chief Executive Officer, uses Adjusted EBITDA of each reportable segment to evaluate the operating performance of such segments.

Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Instead, you should consider it alongside other financial performance measures, including our net income (loss) and other GAAP results. In addition, in evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses such as those that are the subject of adjustments made in deriving Adjusted EBITDA, and you should not infer from our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA that our future results will not be affected by these expenses or any unusual or non-recurring items. The following is a reconciliation of our net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,

Components of Change in Reportable Segment Net Revenues

	Price/Mix			Volume			FX			Mill Closure			Total
Total net revenues		(4	)%		(3	)%		—	%		(6	)%		(13	)%
By reportable segment:
Foodservice		(2	)%		(1	)%		—	%		—	%		(3	)%
Food and Beverage Merchandising		(5	)%		(4	)%		1	%		(14	)%		(22	)%

Total Net Revenues. Total net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased by $179 million, or 13%, to $1,252 million compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to the closure of our Canton, North Carolina mill during the second quarter of 2023, lower pricing due to the pass through of lower material costs and lower sales volume. Lower sales volume was mainly due to a focus on value over volume in the Food and Beverage Merchandising segment and the market softening amid inflationary pressures.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased by $285 million, or 22%, to $1,031 million compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to the closure of our Canton, North Carolina mill and lower sales volume, partially offset by lower material and manufacturing costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased by $3 million, or 2%, to $133 million compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher employee-related costs.

Restructuring, Asset Impairment and Other Related Charges. Restructuring, asset impairment and other related charges for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased by $56 million, or 77%, to $17 million compared to the prior year period. The current period expense related to activities associated with the Beverage Merchandising Restructuring and Footprint Optimization. Refer to Note 2, Restructuring, Asset Impairment and Other Related Charges, for additional details.

Other Income, Net. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized $3 million of income, primarily driven by gains on the sale of assets.

27

Non-operating Expense, Net. Non-operating expense, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $1 million of expense, primarily driven by the interest cost on our defined benefit plans. Refer to Note 9, Employee Benefits, for additional details.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased by $4 million, or 6%, to $59 million, compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in total debt outstanding, partially offset by an increase in the interest rate on our floating rate term loans. Refer to Note 7, Debt, for additional details.

Income Tax (Expense) Benefit. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized tax expense of $5 million on income before tax of $15 million, compared to a tax benefit of $19 million on a loss before tax of $152 million for the prior year period. The effective tax rate for both periods was driven primarily by the inability to recognize a tax benefit on all interest expense.

Net Income (Loss). Net income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was income of $10 million compared to a loss of $133 million in the prior year period. The change in income was impacted by a $106 million increase in gross profit, primarily due to accelerated depreciation expense from the Beverage Merchandising Restructuring incurred in the prior year period, partially offset by lower sales volume in the current period for the reasons discussed above. The improved result also benefited from a $56 million decrease in restructuring charges compared to the prior period primarily related to the Beverage Merchandising Restructuring, partially offset by the discrete tax benefit incurred in the prior period related to the aforementioned restructuring.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased by $21 million, or 11%, to $168 million compared to the prior year period. The decrease reflects lower sales volume, lower pricing, net of material costs passed through, and higher employee-related costs, partially offset by lower manufacturing and transportation costs.

Segment Information

(1)For each segment, segment Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as segment Adjusted EBITDA divided by total segment net revenues.

Total Segment Net Revenues. Foodservice total segment net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased by $17 million, or 3%, to $597 million compared to the prior year period. The decrease was mainly due to lower pricing, largely due to the pass through of lower material costs, and unfavorable product mix.

Adjusted EBITDA. Foodservice Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased by $16 million, or 15%, to $90 million compared to the prior year period. The decrease reflects unfavorable product mix, higher manufacturing costs and lower pricing, net of material costs passed through.

Food and Beverage Merchandising

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions, except for %)	2024			2023			Change			Change %
Total segment net revenues	$	660		$	850		$	(190	)		(22	)%

Total Segment Net Revenues. Food and Beverage Merchandising total segment net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased by $190 million, or 22%, to $660 million compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to the closure of our Canton, North Carolina mill, lower pricing, largely due to the pass through of lower material costs, and lower sales volume. Sales volume was lower mainly due to a focus on value over volume and the market softening amid inflationary pressures.

Adjusted EBITDA. Food and Beverage Merchandising Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased by $1 million, or 1%, to $100 million compared to the prior year period. The decrease reflects lower sales volume, unfavorable product mix and lower pricing, net of material costs passed through, partially offset by lower manufacturing costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We manage our capital structure in an effort to most effectively execute our strategic priorities and maximize shareholder value. We believe that we have sufficient liquidity to support our ongoing operations and to re-invest in our business to drive future growth. Our projected operating cash flows, cash on-hand and available capacity under our revolving credit facility are our primary sources of liquidity for the next 12 months. We expect our liquidity to fund capital expenditures, payments of interest and principal on our debt, cash-based restructuring charges and distributions to shareholders that require approval by our Board of Directors. Additionally, we may continue to utilize portions of our excess cash to repurchase certain amounts of our long-term debt prior to maturity depending on market conditions, among other factors.

Cash flows

Our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions)	2024			2023
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities	$	(33	)	$	88
Net cash used in investing activities		(58	)		(60	)
Net cash used in financing activities		(26	)		(135	)
Effect of exchange rate on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash		1			1
Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(116	)	$	(106	)

Net cash outflows increased by $10 million, or 9%, compared to the prior year period primarily due to a $121 million decrease in cash provided by operating activities. Net cash associated with operating activities decreased primarily due to unfavorable changes in inventory in the current period. This was partially offset by a decrease in cash used in financing activities driven by $110 million of early debt repayments in the prior year period.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, our primary uses of cash were $41 million of capital expenditures, $33 million of operating cash outflows and $18 million of dividends paid. The net cash used in operating activities reflects $35 million of cash interest payments and $6 million of cash taxes, partially offset by income from operations.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, our primary source of cash was $88 million of net cash provided by operating activities. The net cash provided by operating activities reflects income from operations, partially offset by $44 million of cash interest payments and $7 million of cash taxes. Our primary uses of cash for the same period were $110 million of early debt repayments and repurchases, $63 million of capital expenditures and $18 million of dividends paid.

Dividends

During each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we paid cash dividends of $18 million. On April 30, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.10 per share to be paid on June 14, 2024 to shareholders of record as of May 31, 2024.

Our Credit Agreement and Notes limit our ability to make dividend payments, subject to specified exceptions. Our Board of Directors must review and approve future dividend payments and will determine whether to declare additional dividends based on our operating performance, expected future cash flows, debt levels, liquidity needs and investment opportunities.

Financing and capital resources

As of March 31, 2024, we had $3,603 million of total principal amount of borrowings. Refer to Note 7, Debt, for additional details. Of our total debt, $1,680 million is subject to variable interest rates, representing borrowings drawn under our Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2024, $680 million of the total $1,680 million of variable interest rate indebtedness was not hedged by an interest rate swap, and any additional interest rate swaps into which we enter may not fully mitigate our remaining interest rate risk.

We borrowed $18 million of our $250 million Revolving Tranche facility and repaid the amount plus interest during the first quarter of 2024.

On May 1, 2024, we further amended the Credit Agreement to increase the capacity on our Revolving Tranche facility from $250 million to $1,100 million and extend the maturity date to May 1, 2029. We also amended the applicable interest rate and other pricing terms, including by replacing the facility fee with a lower fee on unutilized capacity. There were no other material changes to the terms of the Credit Agreement as a result of this amendment.

As of March 31, 2024, the SOFR-based reference rate was 5.44%.

29

Based on the one-month SOFR as of March 31, 2024, and including the impact of our interest rate swap agreements, our 2024 annual cash interest obligations on our borrowings are expected to be approximately $235 million.

Under the Credit Agreement, we may incur additional indebtedness either by satisfying certain incurrence tests or by incurring such additional indebtedness under certain specific categories of permitted debt. Incremental senior secured indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and senior secured or unsecured notes in lieu thereof are permitted to be incurred up to an aggregate principal amount of $750 million subject to pro forma compliance with the Credit Agreement’s total secured leverage ratio covenant. In addition, we may incur senior secured indebtedness in an unlimited amount as long as our total secured leverage ratio does not exceed 4.50 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis, and (in the case of incremental senior secured indebtedness under the Credit Agreement only) we are in pro forma compliance with the Credit Agreement’s total secured leverage ratio covenant. The incurrence of unsecured indebtedness, including the issuance of senior notes, and unsecured subordinated indebtedness is also permitted (subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement) if the fixed charge coverage ratio is at least 2.00 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis.

Under the respective indentures governing the Notes, we may incur additional indebtedness either by satisfying certain incurrence tests or by incurring such additional indebtedness under certain specific categories of permitted debt. Indebtedness may be incurred under the incurrence tests if the fixed charge coverage ratio is at least 2.00 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis or the consolidated total leverage ratio is no greater than 5.50 to 1.00 and the liens securing first lien secured indebtedness do not exceed a 4.10 to 1.00 consolidated secured first lien leverage ratio.

We are required to make annual prepayments of term loans with up to 50% of excess cash flow (which will be reduced to 25% or 0% if specified senior secured first lien leverage ratios are met) as determined in accordance with the Credit Agreement. No excess cash flow prepayments were due for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Liquidity and working capital

Our liquidity position is summarized in the table below:

(In millions, except for current ratio)	As of March 31, 2024		As of December 31, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents(1)	$	71	$	164
Availability under revolving credit facility		201		201
	$	272	$	365
Working capital(2)		811		793
Current ratio		2.0		2.0

(1)Excluded $21 million of restricted cash classified as other noncurrent assets as of December 31, 2023.

(2)Included $4 million and $4 million of assets classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

As of March 31, 2024, we had $71 million of cash and cash equivalents on-hand. We also had $201 million available under our revolving credit facility, net of $49 million utilized in the form of letters of credit under the facility. Our next debt maturity is $217 million of Pactiv Debentures due in December 2025, excluding amortization payments related to our U.S. term loans Tranche B-3 under our Credit Agreement.

We believe that we have sufficient liquidity to support our ongoing operations in the next 12 months and to invest in future growth to create further value for our shareholders. Our primary drivers of decreased liquidity for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $41 million of capital expenditures and $18 million of dividends paid, in addition to increased inventory levels and accounts receivable. We currently anticipate cash payments of approximately $300 million for capital expenditures.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, our working capital increased $18 million, or 2%, primarily due to increases in inventory levels and accounts receivable, which were partially offset by cash payments for capital expenditures and dividends. Our working capital position provides us the flexibility for further consideration of strategic initiatives, including reinvestment in our business and deleveraging of our balance sheet. As a result, we may continue to utilize portions of our excess cash to repurchase certain amounts of our long-term debt prior to maturity depending on market conditions, among other factors.

Our ability to borrow under our revolving credit facility or to incur additional indebtedness may be limited by the terms of such indebtedness or other indebtedness, including the Credit Agreement and the Notes. The Credit Agreement and the respective indentures governing the Notes generally allow our subsidiaries to transfer funds in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances within the Company.

Other than short-term leases executed in the normal course of business, we have no material off-balance sheet obligations.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Assumptions

The most critical accounting policies and estimates are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require us to make the most difficult and subjective judgments, often estimating the outcome of future events that are inherently uncertain. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Our critical accounting estimates are described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

New accounting standards that we have recently adopted, as well as accounting standards that have been recently issued but not yet adopted by us, is included in Note 1, Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Except as noted below, there have been no material changes to our market risk during the three months ended March 31, 2024. For additional information, refer to Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

As a result of our operations in Mexico, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk arising from certain transactions and related assets and liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars instead of the Mexican peso.

In accordance with our treasury policy, we take advantage of natural offsets to the extent possible. On a limited basis, we use contracts to hedge foreign currency exchange risk arising from receipts and payments denominated in foreign currencies. We generally do not hedge our exposure to translation gains or losses in respect of our non-U.S. dollar functional currency assets or liabilities. Additionally, when considered appropriate, we may enter into forward exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency exchange risk arising from specific transactions. As of March 31, 2024, we had contracts with U.S. dollar equivalent notional amounts of $34 million to exchange the Mexican peso in order to hedge certain U.S. dollar purchases of inventory.

A 10% increase or decrease in the spot rate used to value the forward exchange contracts, applied as of March 31, 2024, would have resulted in a change of $4 million in the unrealized loss recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In connection with the preparation of this report, management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2024. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
