Reynolds Consumer Products Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business:

Reynolds Consumer Products Inc. and its subsidiaries (“we”, “us” or “our”) produce and sell products across three broad categories: cooking products, waste & storage products and tableware. We sell our products under brands such as Reynolds and Hefty, and also under store brands. Our product portfolio includes aluminum foil, wraps, disposable bakeware, trash bags, food storage bags and disposable tableware. We report four business segments: Reynolds Cooking & Baking; Hefty Waste & Storage; Hefty Tableware; and Presto Products.

Basis of Presentation:

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for comprehensive annual financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures therein. In our opinion, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual operating results.

Prior to the completion of our Corporate Reorganization, as defined in our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-234731), and initial public offering (“IPO”) on February 4, 2020, we operated as part of Pactiv Evergreen Inc. (“PEI”) and not as a stand-alone entity. We represented the business that was previously reported as the Reynolds Consumer Products segment in the consolidated financial statements of PEI and its subsidiaries (collectively, “PEI Group” or the “Parent”). As part of our Corporate Reorganization, we reorganized the legal structure of our entities so they are all under a single parent entity, Reynolds Consumer Products Inc. In conjunction with our Corporate Reorganization and IPO, we separated from PEI Group on February 4, 2020.

Net Parent deficit represented the former Parent’s interest in our net assets. As a direct ownership relationship did not exist between the various entities of our previously combined group, a Net Parent deficit account was shown in our previously combined financial statements. The majority of transactions between us and PEI Group have a history of settlement or were settled for cash in conjunction with our separation from PEI Group and IPO. These transactions have been reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as related party receivables and payables. Transactions that did not have a history of settlement were reflected in equity (deficit) in our previously combined balance sheets as Net Parent deficit and, when cash was utilized (contributed), in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as a financing activity in net transfers from (to) Parent.  

Initial Public Offering:

On February 4, 2020, we completed our separation from PEI Group and the IPO of our common stock pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1. In the IPO, we sold an aggregate of 54,245,500 shares of common stock, including 7,075,500 shares of common stock purchased by the underwriters on February 7, 2020 pursuant to their option to purchase additional shares, under the Registration Statement at a public offering price of $26.00 per share.

In conjunction with our separation from PEI Group and IPO, we reclassified PEI Group’s historical net investment in us to additional paid-in capital. Each share of our outstanding common stock, immediately prior to our IPO, was exchanged into 155,455 shares of common stock. In addition, certain related party borrowings owed to PEI Group were contributed as additional paid-in capital without the issuance of any additional shares.

Note 2 – New Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance:

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans.  This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the standard as of January 1, 2021 with no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. This ASU removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the standard as of January 1, 2021 with no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Yet Adopted:

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions to applying the guidance on contract modifications, hedge accounting, and other transactions, to simplify the accounting for transitioning from the London Interbank Offered Rate, and other interbank offered rates expected to be discontinued, to alternative reference rates. This ASU was effective upon its issuance and can be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. We are currently assessing the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

External Debt Facilities

In February 2020, we entered into new external debt facilities (“External Debt Facilities”), which consist of (i) a $2,475 million senior secured term loan facility (“Term Loan Facility”); and (ii) a $250 million senior secured revolving credit facility (“Revolving Facility”). In addition, on February 4, 2020 we entered into, and extinguished, a $1,168 million facility (“IPO Settlement Facility”). The proceeds from the Term Loan Facility and IPO Settlement Facility, net of transaction costs and original issue discounts, together with available cash, were used to repay accrued related party interest and a portion of the related party loans payable.

Borrowings under the External Debt Facilities bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either a base rate or a LIBO rate plus an applicable margin of 1.75%. During September 2020, we entered into a series of interest rate swaps to hedge a portion of the interest rate exposure resulting from these borrowings.

The External Debt Facilities contain a springing financial covenant requiring compliance with a ratio of first lien net indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA, applicable solely to the Revolving Facility. The financial covenant is tested on the last day of any fiscal quarter only if the aggregate principal amount of borrowings under the Revolving Facility and drawn but unreimbursed letters of credit exceed 35% of the total amount of commitments under the Revolving Facility on such day.

We are currently in compliance with the covenants contained in our External Debt Facilities.

If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the External Debt Facilities are entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the External Debt Facilities and all actions permitted to be taken by secured creditors.

Term Loan Facility

The Term Loan Facility matures in February 2027. The Term Loan Facility amortizes in equal quarterly installments of $6 million, which commenced in June 2020, with the balance payable on maturity. During the first quarter of 2021, we made a voluntary principal payment of $100 million related to our Term Loan Facility.

Revolving Facility

The Revolving Facility matures in February 2025 and includes a sub-facility for letters of credit. As of March 31, 2021, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility, and we had $7 million of letters of credit outstanding, which reduces the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility.

Fair Value of Our Long-Term Debt

The fair value of our long-term debt as of March 31, 2021, which is a Level 2 fair value measurement, approximates the carrying value due to the variable market interest rate and the stability of our credit profile.

 

Note 5 – Stock-based Compensation

We granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) in July 2019 to certain members of management, pursuant to retention agreements entered into with these employees (the “IPO Grants”). These RSUs vest upon satisfaction of both a performance-based vesting condition (the “IPO Condition”) and a service-based vesting condition (the “Service Condition”). The IPO Condition was satisfied when we completed our IPO on February 4, 2020. The Service Condition will be satisfied with respect to one-third of an employee’s RSUs on each anniversary from the date of our IPO for three consecutive years, subject to the employee’s continued employment through the applicable vesting date.

 

In addition, in conjunction with our Corporate Reorganization and IPO, we established an equity incentive plan for purposes of granting stock-based compensation awards to certain of our senior management, our non-executive directors and to certain employees, to incentivize their performance and align their interests with ours. We have granted RSUs to certain employees and non-employee directors that have a service-based vesting condition. In addition, we granted performance stock units (“PSUs”) to certain members of management that have a performance-based vesting condition. We account for forfeitures of outstanding but unvested grants in the period they occur. A maximum of 10.5 million shares of common stock were initially available for issuance under equity incentive awards granted pursuant to the plan. In the three months ended March 31, 2021, 0.2 million RSUs and 0.2 million PSUs were granted.

 

As of March 31, 2021, there were stock-based compensation awards representing approximately 0.6 million shares outstanding compared to 0.4 million shares outstanding as of December 31, 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, stock-based compensation expense was $2 million and $1 million, respectively.

Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings:

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 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 financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, actual outcomes may differ from those expected and could have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows in a future period.

As of March 31, 2021, there were no legal proceedings pending other than those for which we have determined that the possibility of a material outflow is remote.

Note 7 – Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

The following table summarizes the changes in our balances of each component of accumulated other comprehensive income. 

 

 

 

Note 8 – Income Taxes

Prior to our separation from PEI Group and IPO, our U.S. operations were included in the U.S. federal consolidated and certain state and local tax returns filed by PEI Group.  We also file certain separate U.S. state and local and foreign income tax returns. For the periods prior to separation, income tax (expense) benefit and deferred tax balances are presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements as if we filed tax returns on a stand-alone basis. Upon separation from PEI Group, becoming a separate taxable entity and the change from carve-out financial statements to consolidated financial statements, we have remeasured certain deferred taxes. These adjustments have been recognized directly in equity.

Our income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 incorporated an expected annualized effective tax rate of approximately 24.5%, excluding the impact of discrete items, compared to 24.7% in the comparable prior year period. Our income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 included an incremental discrete expense of $23 million due to the remeasurement of our deferred tax asset associated with the deductibility of interest expense as a result of the enactment, subsequent to our separation from PEI Group, of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act on March 27, 2020. As a result of our inclusion in PEI Group’s U.S. federal consolidated and certain state and local tax returns prior to our IPO, the completion of PEI Group’s tax returns for the year ended December 31, 2020 may result in changes to deferred taxes we recognized as of February 4, 2020.  Any future changes in these deferred taxes may impact our reported tax expense in a future period.

Note 9 – Segment Information

Our Chief Executive Officer, who has been identified as our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), has evaluated how he views and measures our performance. In applying the criteria set forth in the standards for reporting information about segments in financial statements, we have determined that we have four reportable segments - Reynolds Cooking & Baking, Hefty Waste & Storage, Hefty Tableware and Presto Products. The key factors used to identify these reportable segments are the organization and alignment 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 segments are described as follows:

Reynolds Cooking & Baking

Our Reynolds Cooking & Baking segment produces branded and store brand foil, disposable aluminum pans, parchment paper, freezer paper, wax paper, plastic wrap, baking cups, oven bags and slow cooker liners. Our branded products are sold under the Reynolds Wrap, Reynolds KITCHENS and E-Z Foil brands in the United States and selected international markets, under the ALCAN brand in Canada and under the Diamond brand outside of North America.

Hefty Waste & Storage

Our Hefty Waste & Storage segment produces both branded and store brand trash and food storage bags. Our branded products are sold under the Hefty Ultra Strong, Hefty Strong Trash Bags, Hefty Renew and Hefty Slider Bags brands.

Hefty Tableware

Our Hefty Tableware segment sells both branded and store brand disposable and compostable plates, bowls, platters, cups and cutlery. Our Hefty branded products include dishes and party cups.

Presto Products

Our Presto Products segment primarily sells store brand products in four main categories: food storage bags, trash bags, reusable storage containers and plastic wrap. Our Presto Products segment also includes our specialty business, which serves other consumer products companies by providing Fresh-Lock and Slide-Rite resealable closure systems.

Information by Segment

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

Adjusted EBITDA represents each segment's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization and is further adjusted to exclude unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives and IPO and separation-related costs.

Total assets by segment are those assets directly associated with the respective operating activities, comprising inventory, property, plant and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets. Other assets, such as cash, accounts receivable and intangible assets, are monitored on an entity-wide basis and not included in segment information that is regularly reviewed by our CODM.
