“2021 was a success for our pure-play water company. We achieved record levels of revenue and adjusted EBITDA driven by strong customer demand, especially in our Water Direct / Exchange business.  Our customer base increased organically, and customer retention rates improved as we continuously work to enhance the overall customer experience. I am proud of the efforts of our team and am pleased with everyone’s continued commitment to safety and customer satisfaction during the ongoing challenges of the pandemic,” said Tom Harrington, Chief Executive Officer. 

“As we look forward to 2022, we remain focused on meeting and exceeding our customers’ expectations, innovating across our various water solutions and expanding our leading market share position.  Our 2022 outlook is for 9% to 10% revenue growth, adjusted for the planned exit of the North American single-use retail bottled water business and including the tuck-in acquisitions of 2021, and Adjusted EBITDA of between $410 million to $420 million dollars.  We remain confident in our long-term forecast for high single digit organic revenue growth and annualized Adjusted EBITDA approaching $525 million for 2024,” said Mr. Harrington.

FULL YEAR GLOBAL PERFORMANCE – CONTINUING OPERATIONS

  • Consolidated revenue increased 6% to $2,073 million compared to $1,954 million. The increase was driven by customer growth, increased demand from residential customers, pricing actions, the legacy Primo acquisition and the favorable impact of foreign exchange, partially offset by lower revenue from Water Dispensers and lapping the benefit from the 53rd week in the prior year. Revenue growth by channel is tabulated below:

  • Gross profit increased 4% to $1,157 million compared to $1,114 million. Gross margin was 55.8% compared to 57.0%. Increased material costs in our North American single-use plastic business, ocean freight and tariffs were largely offset by customer price increases.
  • SG&A expenses increased 3% to $1,034 million compared to $1,007 million. The increase was driven by higher selling and operating costs that supported the volume and revenue growth of the business, an increase in the number of associates impacted by COVID-19 during the second half of the year and the addition of the legacy Primo business, partially offset by cost reduction initiatives.
  • Reported net loss and net loss per diluted share were $3 million and $0.02, respectively, compared to reported net loss and net loss per diluted share of $157 million and $1.01, respectively. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share were $91 million and $0.56, respectively, compared to adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share of $86 million and $0.55, respectively.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 5% to $380 million compared to $362 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased by 20 basis points to 18.3%, driven by higher material costs in our North American single-use plastic business, ocean freight and tariffs, along with higher delivery costs.
  • Net cash provided by operating activities of $259 million, less $152 million of capital expenditures, resulted in $107 million of free cash flow, or $133 million of adjusted free cash flow (adjusting for the items set forth on Exhibit 7), compared to adjusted free cash flow of $138 million in the prior year.

ABOUT PRIMO WATER CORPORATION

Primo Water Corporation is a leading pure-play water solutions provider in North America and Europe and generates approximately $2.1 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 retailers and online at various price points. 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 22-country footprint direct to the customer’s door, whether at home or to 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 22-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 (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), Primo utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures.  Primo excludes from GAAP revenue the impact of foreign exchange and the impact of the 53rd week in 2020 to separate the impact of these items from Primo’s results of operations.  Primo also utilizes Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to separate the impact of certain items from the underlying business.  Because Primo 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 Primo’s performance to the performance of the Company’s peer group and assessing the Company’s ability to service debt and finance strategic opportunities, which include investing in Primo’s business, making strategic acquisitions, paying dividends, repurchasing common shares and strengthening the balance sheet. With respect to the Company’s expectations of its future performance, the Company’s reconciliations of first quarter and full year 2022 Adjusted EBITDA and 2024 Adjusted EBITDA are not available, as the Company is unable to quantify certain amounts to the degree of precision that would be required in the relevant GAAP measures without unreasonable effort. These items include taxes, interest costs that would occur if the Company issued debt, and costs to acquire and or sell a business if the Company executed such transactions, which could significantly affect our financial results. These items depend on highly variable factors and any such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. Primo expects the variability of these factors to have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on the Company’s future GAAP financial results. The non-GAAP financial measures described above are in addition to, and not meant to be considered superior to, or a substitute for, Primo’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.

The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures, including but not limited to risk factors contained in Primo’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as well as other filings with the securities commissions.

(a) During 2021, we revised the allocation of information technology costs from the All Other category to our North America and Rest of World reporting segments to reflect how the Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker, currently measures the performance of our segments. As a result of the change, selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the prior periods have been recast to increase SG&A expenses in our North America reporting segment by $0.5 million, increase SG&A expenses in our Rest of World reporting segment by $1.8 million, and decrease SG&A expenses in the All Other category by $2.3 million for the three months ended January 2, 2021. SG&A expenses for the year ended January 2, 2021 have been recast to increase SG&A expenses in our North America reporting segment by $2.1 million, increase SG&A expenses in our Rest of World reporting segment by $6.9 million, and decrease SG&A expenses in the All Other category by $9.0 million.  Operating income (loss) for our North America and Rest of World reporting segments as well as our All Other category, as applicable, reflect the aforementioned adjustments for the three months and year ended January 2, 2021.

(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 1,604 and 1,626 for the three months ended January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021, respectively, and 1,817 and 1,398 for the year ended January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021, 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.
