Management Commentary

Chief Executive Officer Julie Schertell commented, "2022 was a historic year for Mativ, bringing together two strong companies to leverage our combined technologies and products to drive value for all of our stakeholders. We closed out the year with strong year-over-year fourth quarter growth for the combined company from continued positive price/cost performance, and we enter 2023 with clear momentum on integration and synergy execution. Despite macro uncertainties, our conviction in the opportunities ahead for Mativ is unwavering. We have significant controllable actions to enable strong performance as we enter 2023, specifically cost synergies, innovation, and programs focused on commercial and operational excellence, as well as broader longer-term decisions and actions to capitalize on our increased scale."

"While merger-related expenses drove a GAAP loss of nearly $7 million, we exited 2022 with combined full year EBITDA of $370 million, and we expect an incremental $25 million of synergy delivery in 2023. While we see potential growth in the base business and upside to this synergy target, visibility remains limited due to macroeconomic and geopolitical risks and related effects on input costs. Customer de-stocking as supply chains normalize, underlying global demand, and inflation uncertainties make it challenging to provide a more clearly defined guided range. Most importantly, in this uncertain environment, we have strong, vetted, and actioned synergies as we enter 2023 and will continue to execute on more synergy opportunities throughout the year. These are largely within our control and should provide built-in profit improvements in an otherwise volatile global economy."

Ms. Schertell concluded, "Looking ahead, 2023 will be our first full year together as Mativ, and I am pleased to share we have aligned on several key messages and themes to serve as our strategic ‘North Star’ in the years ahead. Our ambition is to be the global leader in specialty materials, consistently driving growth by engineering bold, innovative solutions that solve our customers’ complex challenges. We can achieve this by leveraging our technologies and material science know-how, advancing our collaborative customer relationships, and supporting our customers with robust global manufacturing and supply chain capabilities. Our stakeholders can expect us to execute with speed and discipline as we lean heavily into growth opportunities, sharpen our focus, and drive value creation. While there are many pockets of growth and attractive profitability across the portfolio, our resources and investments going forward will be concentrated in filtration, protective solutions, and release liners given the attractive end-market dynamics and our ability to differentiate and lead in these high-value product categories. As we move forward, we see tremendous potential for Mativ and enter the new year energized and ready to execute our plans."

Mativ Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Note: The Reported Results below reflect consolidated Mativ results in the current period, whereas the prior year period reflects only legacy SWM results. The Comparable Results reflect the inclusion of the legacy Neenah operations in the prior year period. See the supplemental tables titled Non-GAAP Reconciliation of Combined Legacy Neenah and SWM Operating Profit for Comparability for additional financial information regarding the combined company’s legacy financial information.

Advanced Technical Materials (ATM) as Reported	Three Months Ended December 31,
(in millions; unaudited)	2022			2021			Change			2022			2021
Net Sales	$	409.1		$	255.6		$	153.5
GAAP Operating Profit & Margin %	$	27.6		$	5.5		$	22.1		6.7	%		2.2	%
Adjusted EBITDA & Margin %	$	61.6		$	28.1		$	33.5		15.1	%		11.0	%

ATM Comparable Results
Net Sales	$	409.1		$	403.2		$	5.9
GAAP Operating Profit & Margin %	$	27.6		$	11.8		$	15.8		6.7	%		2.9	%
Adjusted EBITDA & Margin %	$	61.6		$	42.4		$	19.2		15.1	%		10.5	%

Advanced Technical Materials (ATM) segment sales were $409.1 million, up 60%, and reflect the merged company results versus the prior year period which reflected only legacy SWM results. Organic sales increased 4%, or 9% excluding negative currency impacts, driven by price increases. Comparable Adjusted EBITDA, including the legacy Neenah operations, increased 45% (see non-GAAP reconciliations) with margin expansion of 460 basis points. 20%+ sales growth in release liners and protective solutions led the portfolio and were most resilient to broad macro demand volume softness and customer destocking. Price increases continued to outpace inflationary pressures across ATM, driving margin expansion versus prior year. Costs for certain raw materials, such as polypropylene resin have eased, however, higher energy costs, particularly in Europe impacted results; the Company continues to evaluate and implement pricing actions and surcharges based on the evolving input cost environment.

Fiber-Based Solutions (FBS) as Reported	Three Months Ended December 31,
(in millions; unaudited)		2022			2021		Change			2022			2021
Net Sales	$	251.0		$	134.8		$	116.2
GAAP Operating Profit & Margin %	$	30.7		$	22.4		$	8.3		12.2	%		16.6	%
Adjusted EBITDA & Margin %	$	50.2		$	30.8		$	19.4		20.0	%		22.8	%

FBS Comparable Results
Net Sales	$	251.0		$	251.5		$	(0.5	)
GAAP Operating Profit & Margin %	$	30.7		$	34.6		$	(3.9	)		12.2	%		13.8	%
Adjusted EBITDA & Margin %	$	50.2		$	46.8		$	3.4			20.0	%		18.6	%

Fiber-Based Solutions (FBS) segment sales were $251.0 million, up 86%, and reflect the merged company results versus the prior year period which reflected only legacy SWM results. Organic sales were flat, but up 3% excluding negative currency impacts, driven by price increases. Comparable Adjusted EBITDA, including the legacy Neenah operations, increased 7% (see non-GAAP reconciliations) with margin expansion of 140 basis points. Pricing more than offset volume softness, and continued to exceed inflationary pressures for the segment. Pulp costs remain elevated and energy costs increased versus prior year, particularly in Europe, which impacted results. The Company continues to evaluate and implement pricing actions and surcharges based on the evolving input cost environment.

Unallocated as Reported	Three Months Ended December 31,
(in millions; unaudited)		2022				2021			Change				2022			2021
GAAP Operating Expense & % of Sales	$	(31.4	)		$	(17.0	)		$	(14.4	)		(4.8	)%		(4.4	)%
Adjusted EBITDA & % of Sales	$	(19.4	)		$	(11.9	)		$	(7.5	)		(2.9	)%		(3.0	)%

Unallocated Comparable Results
GAAP Operating Expense & % of Sales	$	(31.4	)		$	(40.3	)		$	8.9			(4.8	)%		(6.2	)%
Adjusted EBITDA & % of Sales	$	(19.4	)		$	(18.0	)		$	(1.4	)		(2.9	)%		(2.7	)%

Unallocated expenses reflected the merged Company expenses in the quarter compared to only legacy SWM expenses in the prior year period. On a comparable basis, Adjusted unallocated expenses (EBITDA) increased 20 basis points as a percentage of sales.

Interest expense was $27.4 million, versus $14.8 million in the prior year period which reflected only the legacy SWM results. The increase was due to the merger and related incremental expense of assuming existing debt on the legacy Neenah balance sheet, as well as higher interest rates on floating rate debt versus the prior year.

Other expense was $4.9 million, primarily due to non-cash, non-operating currency losses, versus other income in the prior year period of $35.1 million, which was entirely related to a gain on the sale of a facility.

Taxes. The Company reported a GAAP pretax loss during the fourth quarter of $5.4 million, generating a tax benefit of $7.8 million. Fourth quarter taxes reflected true-ups to full year taxes and included the positive impact of the realizability of certain tax-related balance sheet items.

Non-GAAP Adjustments reflect items included in GAAP operating profit, income, and EPS, but excluded from Adjusted Operating Profit, EBITDA, income, and EPS (see non-GAAP reconciliation tables for additional details). The most significant adjustments to fourth quarter 2022 results were as follows:

• $0.36 per share of purchase accounting expenses (purchase accounting expenses reflect primarily ongoing non-cash intangible asset amortizations associated with mergers and acquisitions)
• $0.15 per share of expenses related to the Neenah merger, which included integration and severance expenses

Cash Flow, Debt & Dividend

Year-to-date 2022 cash provided by operating activities was $202.2 million, which included significant and largely non-recurring merger transaction, severance, and integration related costs. Year-to-date capital spending and software costs totaled $59.6 million, resulting in free cash flow of $142.6 million.

Total debt was $1,707.4 million as of December 31, 2022 and total cash was $124.4 million resulting in net debt of $1,583.0 million. Pursuant to the terms of the Company's credit agreement, net debt to adjusted EBITDA was 3.7x as of December 31, 2022. Net leverage is defined in the Company's credit agreement, and includes EBITDA adjustments for certain expected cost synergies. During the fourth quarter, the Company entered into an accounts receivables securitization program, netting $139 million of proceeds, which were primarily used to reduce debt. The program is expected to reduce future interest expense and reduces covenant net leverage. Total liquidity of approximately $528 million consisted of $124 million of cash and $404 million of revolver availability. The Company's debt matures on a staggered basis between 2026 and 2028.

The Company announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.40 per share. The dividend will be payable on March 24, 2023 to stockholders of record as of March 3, 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain financial measures and comments contained in this press release exclude restructuring and impairment expenses, certain purchase accounting adjustments related to ATM and FBS segment acquisitions, acquisition/merger and integration related costs, interest expense, the effect of income tax provisions and other tax impacts, capital spending, capitalized software costs, cybersecurity expenses, and depreciation and amortization. This press release also provides certain information regarding the Company's financial results excluding currency impacts. This information estimates the impact of changes in foreign currency rates on the translation of the Company's current financial results as compared to the applicable comparable period and is derived by translating the current local currency results into U.S. Dollars based upon the foreign currency exchange rates for the applicable comparable period. Financial measures which exclude or include these items have not been determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and are therefore "non-GAAP" financial measures. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most closely analogous measure determined in accordance with GAAP are included in the financial schedules attached to this release.

The Company believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures in addition to the related GAAP measures provides investors with greater transparency on the information used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision-making. Management also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide additional insight for analysts and investors in evaluating the Company’s financial and operational performance in the same way that management evaluates the Company's financial performance. Management believes that providing this information enables investors to better understand the Company’s operating performance and financial condition. These non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated or presented in accordance with, and are not intended to be considered in isolation or as alternatives or substitutes for, or superior to, financial measures prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and should be read only in conjunction with the Company's financial measures prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used in this release may be different from the measures used by other companies.

Combined Legacy Financial Information

Due to the significance of the merger and the resulting change in our reportable segments, Mativ is providing the supplemental combined legacy financial information set forth in the tables below under the captions “Non-GAAP Reconciliation of Combined Legacy Neenah and SWM Operating Profit for Comparability” and “Non-GAAP Reconciliation of Organic Net Sales Growth” to enhance its investors’ ability to evaluate and compare the Company's operating performance on a combined basis with Neenah. The purpose of the supplemental legacy combined financial information is to reflect changes to our reportable segments and to present certain non-GAAP financial measures on a combined company basis for the fourth quarter and full year 2022.

The supplemental combined legacy financial information in the attached schedules is not necessarily indicative of the operating results of the combined companies had the merger been completed at the beginning of or prior to the periods presented or of the operating results of the combined company in the future. The supplemental combined legacy financial information for periods prior to the date of the merger does not reflect cost savings or other synergies anticipated as a result of the merger. The supplemental combined legacy financial information is not pro forma information prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X of the SEC, and the preparation of information in accordance with Article 11 would result in a different presentation.

The following notes apply to all periods and tables presented herein:
(1) Effective with the merger, certain assets/net sales were reclassified out of ATM and into FBS, and to conform with legacy SWM accounting practices certain of legacy Neenah operating expenses were reclassified out of the ATM and FBS operating segments and moved to Corporate Unallocated. In addition, certain legacy Neenah Corporate Unallocated operating expenses were reclassified out of GAAP Operating Profit and moved to other income, net to conform with legacy SWM accounting practices.
(2) Effective with the merger, legacy Neenah's definition of Adjusted Operating Profit, a non-GAAP financial measure, was conformed to legacy SWM's Adjusted Operating Profit definition which includes an add-back for amortization of intangible assets and other purchase accounting adjustments.
(3) Depreciation and stock-based compensation excludes stock-based compensation included in acquisition/merger and integration costs.
(4) Effective with the merger, legacy SWM's definition of EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was conformed to legacy Neenah's EBITDA definition which includes an add-back for stock-based compensation. The revised EBITDA definition is more aligned with the terms of the Company's Credit Agreement.
