Reynolds Consumer Products Reports
First Quarter 2023 Financial Results
First Quarter In-line with Expectations

Reynolds Cooking & Baking Recovery on Track
Marketplace Leadership Continues

Full Year Guide Reaffirmed

LAKE FOREST, IL, May 10, 2023 – (BUSINESSWIRE) – Reynolds Consumer Products Inc. (“RCP” or “the Company”) (Nasdaq: REYN) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.
First Quarter 2023 Highlights
Net Revenues of $874 million, up 3% over Q1 prior year net revenues
Net Income of $17 million vs. $52 million in Q1 2022
Adjusted EBITDA of $82 million vs. $112 million in Q1 2022
Earnings Per Share of $0.08 vs. $0.25 in Q1 2022; Adjusted Earnings Per Share of $0.08 vs. $0.26 in Q1 2022
Operating Cash Flow of $88 million vs. $19 million in Q1 2022

Net revenues increased 3% as the effect of price increases implemented last year more than offset a 2% volume decline. Net income and Adjusted EBITDA declined as anticipated increases in material and manufacturing costs in the Reynolds Cooking & Baking business, as well as higher personnel costs, professional fees and advertising costs, were partially offset by increased profitability in the rest of our businesses. In addition, net income was negatively impacted by higher interest costs due to increased interest rates.
“Our results for the first quarter were in-line with our expectations and we believe we are well positioned for substantial earnings growth in 2023,” said Lance Mitchell, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The Reynolds Cooking & Baking recovery is off to a strong start, and our other three segments are also performing well, reflecting our category leadership and the advantage of our integrated brand and store brand model. I am extremely proud of the RCP team and look forward to building on our marketplace momentum, in addition to reporting strong financial results for the year.”
Reynolds Cooking & Baking
Net revenues increased $15 million, or 6%
Adjusted EBITDA decreased $24 million, or 86%
Net revenues increased 6%, driven by higher pricing and volume. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 86% driven by increased material and manufacturing costs, slightly offset by increased pricing and volume.
Actions to stabilize operations and improve operational efficiencies performed well against internal targets, consistent with margin objectives for the quarter and for the year.
Volume increased 3%, driven by further share gains by Reynolds Wrap, and new products continued to contribute to growth. Reynolds Kitchens Air Fryer Liners are expanding distribution, and Reynolds Kitchens Stay Flat Parchment Paper and Reynolds Wrap Heavy Duty Grill Bags have also begun shipping to retail.



Hefty Waste & Storage
Net revenues increased $5 million, or 2%
Adjusted EBITDA increased $10 million, or 22%
Net revenues increased 2%, as the effect of price increases implemented last year was partially offset by lower volume. Adjusted EBITDA increased 22%, reflecting the timing of price actions, partially offset by increased advertising investment.
Volume decreased 4%, driven by price elasticity and increased consumer activity outside the home.
Increased advertising and innovation drove commercial performance in the quarter, contributing to share gains for Hefty waste bags and significantly improved share trends for Hefty slider bags. Distribution of new half-gallon freezer bags helped drive improving trends for Hefty slider bags in the last 4 weeks of the quarter.
Innovation highlights include further expansion of Hefty Fabuloso® Lavender products, increased distribution of new Hefty Fabuloso® Lemon products, and the introduction of Hefty and store branded waste bags with post-consumer recycled materials.
Hefty EnergyBag™ now includes drawstring innovation and was also relaunched as Hefty ReNew™.
Hefty Tableware
Net revenues increased $14 million, or 7%
Adjusted EBITDA increased $7 million, or 30%
Net revenues increased 7%, as the effect of price increases implemented last year was partially offset by lower volume. Adjusted EBITDA increased 30%, driven by the timing of price actions relative to cost increases, partially offset by lower volume.
Volume decreased 6%, driven by price elasticity.
Hefty Tableware gained brand share of disposable tableware in the quarter driven by continued share growth of disposable plates. Our sustainable dish portfolio also grew share in the quarter.
Presto Products
Net revenues increased $3 million, or 2%
Adjusted EBITDA was flat
Net revenues increased 2%, driven by increased volume. Adjusted EBITDA was flat as the impact of higher volume was offset by increased manufacturing costs.
Volume increased 2%, driven by increased consumption and share of store branded food bags.
Presto gained additional share of store branded food bags in the quarter, and new products remained a contributor to growth. Innovation highlights include strength from stand-and-fill food bags, which continue to provide a point of difference for customers and consumers.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights
At March 31, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents were $50 million, and our outstanding debt was $2,086 million, resulting in net debt of $2,036 million. Capital expenditures were $22 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared to $28 million in the prior year.
Operating cash flow of $88 million in the first quarter of 2023 was a $69 million increase compared to the same period in the prior year, largely due to the benefit from working capital initiatives.



Fiscal Year and Second Quarter Outlook
The Company reiterates its outlook for the full year and introduces its second quarter 2023 outlook as follows:
Fiscal Year 2023 Outlook
Net revenues
Flat +/- 1% growth
Net income⁽¹⁾
$274 to $296 million
Adjusted EBITDA
$605 to $635 million
Earnings per share⁽¹⁾
$1.30 to $1.41
Net debt
$1.8 to $1.9 billion
Q2 2023 Outlook
Net revenues
Flat to 2% growth
Net income⁽¹⁾
$57 to $64 million
Adjusted EBITDA
$135 to $145 million
Earnings per share⁽¹⁾
$0.27 to $0.30
(1)The Company is not providing projected adjusted net income or adjusted earnings per share, as it does not anticipate using or presenting such non-GAAP metrics in these periods.
We expect to further recover pre-pandemic profitability in 2023 driven by improving performance for Reynolds Cooking & Baking and continued solid performance for Hefty Waste & Storage, Hefty Tableware and Presto.
Commodity rates are assumed to be relatively stable versus end of April levels. However, the carryover of higher cost aluminum and the impact of operational inefficiencies in Reynolds Cooking & Baking are expected to impact second quarter results, though to a lesser extent than in the first quarter.
“Our first quarter results were consistent with our expectations, driven by a solid top-line, execution of our plans to stabilize Reynolds Cooking & Baking operations and restored profitability in our Hefty Waste & Storage, Hefty Tableware and Presto segments,” said Michael Graham, Chief Financial Officer. “We expect flat to 2% top-line growth and margin expansion in the second quarter, driven partly by improving Reynolds Cooking & Baking margins, and reiterate all previously provided guidance metrics for the full fiscal year. In line with our prior guide, we expect to increase advertising and trade investment in 2023 while also paying down debt, driven by earnings growth, increased balance sheet efficiency and continued capital spending discipline.”
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 31, 2023, to shareholders of record as of May 17, 2023.
Conference Call and Webcast Presentation
The Company will host a conference call to discuss the financial results at 7:00 a.m.CT (8:00 a.m. ET) today. The dial-in for the conference call is (877) 423-9813 or (201) 689-8573.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use non-GAAP financial measures “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted Net Income,” “Adjusted Earnings Per Share,” and “Net Debt” 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, depreciation and amortization and further adjusted to exclude IPO and separation-related 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 IPO and separation-related costs.  We define Net Debt as the current portion of long-term debt plus long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents.
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 Earnings Per Share 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. 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 2023, where adjusted, is provided on a non-GAAP basis. The Company cannot reconcile its expected Net Debt at December 31, 2023 to expected total debt without reasonable effort because certain items that impact total debt and other reconciling measures are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted at this time, to which unavailable information could 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 December 31, 2023 Net Debt outlook, as described above) to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, beginning on the following page.
