Insights

Financial Analyst

The Q4 and FY2024 results reveal a compelling growth story driven by fundamental business strength rather than mere price increases. The 5.1% organic growth contribution in Q4, primarily from volume gains, demonstrates robust market demand and effective execution. This volume-led growth is particularly noteworthy as it suggests sustainable market share gains rather than temporary pricing benefits.

The acceleration of synergy capture from the recent merger is a game-changer. The 50% increase in targeted cost synergies to $300M, with two-thirds expected in 2025, significantly enhances the company's profitability potential. This aggressive timeline suggests management has identified more operational overlap than initially estimated, potentially leading to better-than-expected margin expansion in the coming years.

The company's cash flow generation has shown remarkable improvement, with Adjusted Free Cash Flow reaching $456.2M for the full year, more than tripling from $137.9M in the previous year. This robust cash generation, combined with the 25% dividend increase, indicates strong operational execution and financial discipline. The expanded EBITDA margins - reaching 19.9% for the full year - demonstrate successful cost management and operational leverage.

Looking ahead, the company's focus on brand leadership and operational excellence, coupled with accelerated synergy capture, positions it well for continued margin expansion. The strong volume growth in core water channels suggests market share gains in a growing category, while improved customer service metrics indicate sustainable competitive advantages being built.

Reports Strong Organic Combined Net Sales Growth
Estimated Cost Synergy Opportunity Increased to $300M

• Reports strong Organic Combined Net Sales growth driven primarily by volume 
• Integration ahead of schedule; increases estimated cost synergy opportunity to $300 million, with $200 million expected to be captured in 2025; balance expected to be captured in 2026
• Issues full year 2025 Net Sales, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow guidance
• Increases quarterly dividend to $0.10 per common share

"We had a strong finish to the year as a combined company, Primo Brands Corporation. We exceeded net sales and volume expectations across our core water channels. Organic Combined Net Sales growth was primarily driven by volume which led to earnings growth and margin expansion.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement its reporting of financial measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), Primo Brands utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures.  Primo Brands utilizes organic net sales growth (which excludes the impact of acquisitions). Primo Brands 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 Brands 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 Brands' underlying business performance and the performance of its management.  Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Net Sales. Additionally, Primo Brands 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 and additions to intangible assets to present Free Cash Flow, and by excluding the additional 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 Brands' 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 Brands' business, making strategic acquisitions, paying dividends, and strengthening the balance sheet. 

To aid investors and analysts with year-over-year comparability for the combined business of BlueTriton and Primo Water, the Company has also presented certain of these non-GAAP financial measures on a "Combined " basis. Combined non-GAAP financial measures includes results for both BlueTriton and Primo Water on a combined basis inclusive of periods prior to the business combination. Information presented on a combined basis does not reflect any pro forma adjustments or other adjustments for costs related to integration activities, cost savings or synergies that have been or may be achieved if the business combination occurred on January 1, 2023, other than to reflect the difference in Primo Water's fiscal year-end, and the impact of the accounting conformity related to bottle deposits.

The non-GAAP financial measures described above are in addition to, and not meant to be considered superior to, or a substitute for, Primo Brands' financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Also, other companies might calculate these measures differently. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures included in this press release and the accompanying tables. 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.

We have not reconciled our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow guidance to GAAP net income or loss and cash flows from operations, respectively, because we do not provide guidance for such GAAP measures due to the uncertainty and potential variability of stock-based compensation expense, acquired intangible assets and related amortization and income taxes, which are reconciling items between Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin and their respective most directly comparable GAAP measures. Because such items cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure guidance to the corresponding GAAP measure. However, such items could have a significant impact on our future GAAP net income or loss and GAAP net income or loss margin.

1 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.

2 Includes the impact of dilutive securities of 1,698 and nil for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and 427 and nil for the year ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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.
