Primo Water Corporation Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2020 Results

Feb 25, 2021

Fourth quarter financial results exceed high-end of expectations and continue to validate pure-play water model

TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – Primo Water Corporation (NYSE: PRMW) (TSX: PRMW) (the “Company” or “Primo”), a leading provider of water direct to consumers and water filtration services in North America and Europe as well as a leading provider of water dispensers, purified and spring bottled water, and self-service refill drinking water in the U.S. and Canada, today announced its results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 2, 2021.

(The fiscal year ended January 2, 2021 included 53-weeks of activity, compared to 52-weeks of activity for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2019. Unless stated otherwise, all fourth quarter 2020 comparisons are relative to the fourth quarter of 2019 and all fiscal year 2020 comparisons are relative to fiscal year 2019; all information is in U.S. dollars.)

FOURTH QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

  • Revenue increased 15% to $505 million compared to $440 million.

  • Gross profit increased 8% to $282 million compared to $260 million.

  • Reported net loss and net loss per diluted share were $20 million and $0.12, respectively, compared to reported net income and net income per diluted share of $2 million and $0.01, respectively. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share were $23 million and $0.14, respectively, compared to adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share of $17 million and $0.13, respectively.

  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 36% to $98 million compared to $72 million and adjusted EBITDA margin increased by 300 basis points to 19.4%.

“I am very pleased with our fourth quarter results, despite a difficult operating environment and increased lockdown measures in many of the geographies we serve,” said Tom Harrington, Primo’s Chief Executive Officer. “We closed the year with another quarter of strong adjusted EBITDA and higher adjusted EBITDA margin, and we are carrying that momentum into 2021 as a more streamlined and profitable company with our pure-play water model. I am confident that the continued demand for our products and services, coupled with the progress we made against our key initiatives throughout 2020, will enable us to build upon these results in 2021.”

FOURTH QUARTER GLOBAL PERFORMANCE – CONTINUING OPERATIONS

  • Revenue increased 15% to $505 million compared to $440 million (increased by 9% excluding the impact of foreign exchange and the 53rd week). The increase is due primarily from the legacy Primo acquisition, increased demand for products and services from residential customers and a $19 million benefit from the 53rd week, partially offset by lower revenue from coffee services and the Water Direct commercial customer base. Revenue growth by channel is tabulated below:

14.8%

  • Gross profit increased 8% to $282 million compared to $260 million driven by the acquisition of the legacy Primo business and a $12 million benefit from the 53rd week. Gross margin was 55.8% compared to 59.1%, due primarily to lower gross profit in the Rest of World (“ROW”) segment and the lower gross margin profile of the legacy Primo business.

  • SG&A expenses increased 5% to $248 million compared to $237 million. The increase was driven by the addition of the legacy Primo business and $8 million of expenses from the 53rd week, partially offset by lower SG&A resulting from cost reduction initiatives implemented earlier in the year.

  • Reported net loss and net loss per diluted share were $20 million and $0.12, respectively, compared to reported net income and net income per diluted share of $2 million and $0.01, respectively. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share were $23 million and $0.14, respectively, compared to adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share of $17 million and $0.13, respectively.

  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 36% to $98 million compared to $72 million (increased 31% excluding the impact of the 53rd week). The increase was driven primarily by increased demand for products and services from residential customers, improved operating leverage, the legacy Primo acquisition, synergy realization and a $4 million benefit from the 53rd week. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased by 300 basis points to 19.4%.

  • Net cash provided by operating activities of $70 million, less $29 million of capital expenditures, resulted in $41 million of free cash flow, or $56 million of adjusted free cash flow (adjusting for the items set forth on Exhibit 7), compared to adjusted free cash flow of $84 million in the prior year.

FOURTH QUARTER REPORTING SEGMENT PERFORMANCE – CONTINUING OPERATIONS

North America

  • Revenue increased 24% to $385 million (increased by 18% excluding the impact of foreign exchange and the 53rd week) driven by the legacy Primo acquisition, increased demand for products and services from residential customers and a $19 million benefit from the 53rd week, partially offset by lower revenue from our Water Direct commercial customer base and coffee services.

  • Gross profit increased 5% to $1,114 million compared to $1,061 million driven by the legacy Primo acquisition and the 53rd week. Gross margin was 57.0% compared to 59.1%, due primarily to lower gross profit in the ROW segment and the lower gross margin profile of the legacy Primo business.

  • SG&A expenses increased 5% to $1,007 million compared to $962 million. The increase was driven by the addition of the legacy Primo business, costs related to COVID-19 and the 53rd week, partially offset by cost reduction initiatives implemented earlier in the year.

  • Reported net loss and net loss per diluted share were $157 million and $1.01, respectively, compared to reported net loss and net loss per diluted share of $11 million and $0.08, respectively.

  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 26% to $362 million compared to $287 million. The increase was driven primarily by increased demand for products and services from residential customers, improved operating leverage, the legacy Primo acquisition, synergy realization and the 53rd week. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased by 250 basis points to 18.5%.

  • Net cash provided by operating activities of $194 million, less $114 million of capital expenditures, resulted in $80 million of free cash flow, or $138 million of adjusted free cash flow (adjusting for the items set forth on Exhibit 7), compared to adjusted free cash flow of $121 million in the prior year.

ABOUT PRIMO WATER CORPORATION

Primo Water Corporation is a leading pure-play water solutions provider in North America, Europe and Israel and generates approximately $2.0 billion in annual revenue. Primo operates largely under a recurring razor/razorblade revenue model. The razor in Primo’s revenue model is its industry leading line-up of sleek and innovative water dispensers, which are sold through major retailers and online at various price points or leased to customers. The dispensers help increase household penetration which drives recurring purchases of Primo’s razorblade offering. Primo’s razorblade offering is comprised of Water Direct, Water Exchange, and Water Refill. Through its Water Direct business, Primo delivers sustainable hydration solutions across its 21-country footprint direct to the customer’s door, whether at home or to commercial businesses. Through its Water Exchange and Water Refill businesses, Primo offers pre-filled and reusable containers at over 13,000 locations and water refill units at approximately 22,000 locations, respectively. Primo also offers water filtration units across its 21-country footprint representing a top five position.

Primo’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 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 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 GAAP, Primo utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures.  Primo excludes from GAAP revenue the impact of foreign exchange, the results of the divested Cott Beverages LLC business and the impact of the 53rd week in 2020, to separate the impact of these factors from Primo’s results of operations.  Primo utilizes adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA to separate the impact of certain items from the underlying business.  Because Primo 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’s underlying business performance and the performance of its management.  Additionally, Primo 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 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 our performance to the performance of our peer group and assessing our ability to service debt and finance strategic opportunities, which include investing in our business, making strategic acquisitions, paying dividends, repurchasing common shares and strengthening the balance sheet. With respect to our expectations of performance of Primo, our reconciliations of Q1 2021 and full year 2021 estimated adjusted EBITDA are not available, as we are 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. We expect the variability of these factors to have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our 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’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.

Safe Harbor Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 conveying management’s expectations as to the future based on plans, estimates and projections at the time Primo makes the statements.

(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 1,626 for the three months ended January 2, 2021 and 1,398 and 1,839 for the year ended January 2, 2021 and December 28, 2019, respectively  These dilutive securities were excluded from GAAP diluted weighted average common shares outstanding due to net loss from continuing operations reported in those periods. GAAP diluted weighted average common shares outstanding were used for the three months ended December 28, 2019.
