Insights
The reported decline in Total Net Revenues and Net Income for both the fourth quarter and full year of 2023 indicates a contraction in Pactiv Evergreen's business operations relative to the corresponding periods in the previous year. This contraction is particularly noteworthy as it suggests a decrease in demand for the company's products or potential pricing pressures. The reduction in revenues and the net loss for the full year may signal operational challenges or a competitive market environment that investors should be aware of. The company's strategy to focus on 'value over volume' could be an attempt to maintain or improve profit margins in the face of these challenges.
Additionally, the significant debt reduction by $550 million is a positive step towards improving the company's financial health and may be viewed favorably by investors concerned with financial stability and risk management. It is important to consider how this debt reduction was achieved and whether it was through operational cash flow or asset sales, as this could have different implications for the company's future growth prospects.
Regarding the Footprint Optimization plan, the anticipated cost savings of $35 million by 2026 against the backdrop of capital expenditures and restructuring charges in the range of $90 million to $110 million over the next two years suggests a strategic shift towards operational efficiency. Investors should assess whether the short-term costs and potential disruptions are justified by the long-term savings and improved operational efficiency.
The closure of production facilities and the restructuring of the Beverage Merchandising operations reflect a significant shift in Pactiv Evergreen's business strategy. This move may be an effort to adapt to changing market conditions, such as shifts in consumer preferences or the competitive landscape within the packaging industry. The market's response to these changes could be critical, as it may affect the company's market share and positioning.
It is also important to consider the broader industry trends, such as the impact of sustainable packaging solutions and regulatory changes, which could influence Pactiv Evergreen's operational decisions and financial performance. The company's ability to navigate these trends and the effectiveness of its strategic transformation will likely be key factors in its future success.
The company's performance must be contextualized within the broader economic environment, particularly the mention of navigating macroeconomic volatility and growing profitably through inflationary cycles. The ability to generate consistent cash flow and reduce debt amidst such conditions is a strong indicator of resilience and prudent financial management. However, the reported decrease in net revenues and net income also highlights potential economic pressures such as reduced consumer spending or increased cost of goods.
Investors should consider the economic indicators and forecasts for the packaging industry and the overall economy when evaluating the potential impact of Pactiv Evergreen's financial results and strategic initiatives on its stock performance. The company's forward-looking statements, including its Adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2024, provide a glimpse into management's expectations for the company's financial trajectory in the context of these economic conditions.

The Company has not reconciled the non-GAAP measure Adjusted EBITDA1 to the GAAP measure net income (loss) on a forward-looking basis in this release because the Company does not provide guidance for certain of the reconciling items on a consistent basis, including but not limited to items relating to restructuring, asset impairment and other related charges, depreciation and amortization expense, net interest expense and income taxes, which would be required to include a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA1 to GAAP net income (loss), as the Company is unable to quantify these amounts without unreasonable efforts.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses the following financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”): Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS, Free Cash Flow and Net Debt.
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) from continuing operations calculated in accordance with GAAP plus the sum of income tax expense (benefit), net interest expense, depreciation and amortization and further adjusted to exclude certain items, including but not limited to restructuring, asset impairment and other related charges, gains or losses on the sale of businesses and noncurrent assets, non-cash pension income or expense, operational process engineering-related consultancy costs, business acquisition and integration costs and purchase accounting adjustments, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives, foreign exchange gains or losses on cash and gains or losses on certain legal settlements.
The Company defines Adjusted EPS as diluted (loss) earnings per share (“EPS”) from continuing operations calculated in accordance with GAAP adjusted for the after-tax effect of certain items, including but not limited to restructuring, asset impairment and other related charges, gains on the sale of businesses and noncurrent assets, non-cash pension income or expense, operational process engineering-related consultancy costs, business acquisition and integration costs and purchase accounting adjustments, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives, foreign exchange losses on cash and gains or losses on certain legal settlements.
The Company defines Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures.
The Company defines Net Debt as the sum of current and long-term debt, less cash and cash equivalents.
The Company has provided herein a reconciliation of (i) net income (loss) from continuing operations to Adjusted EBITDA, (ii) diluted EPS from continuing operations to Adjusted EPS, (iii) net cash provided by operating activities to Free Cash Flow and (iv) total debt to Net Debt, in each case representing the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA to assist in comparing performance from period to period and as a measure of operational performance. It is a key measure used by its management team to generate future operating plans, make strategic decisions and incentivize and reward its employees. In addition, its management and Chief Operating Decision Maker, who is the President and Chief Executive Officer, use the Adjusted EBITDA of each reportable segment to evaluate its respective operating performance. Accordingly, the Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the Company’s operating results in the same manner as its management and Board of Directors. Like Adjusted EBITDA, management believes Adjusted EPS is useful to investors, analysts and others to facilitate operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis because it excludes variations primarily caused by changes in the items noted above.
The Company presents Free Cash Flow to assist in comparing liquidity from period to period and to provide a more comprehensive view of the Company’s core operations and ability to generate cash flow, and also, as with Adjusted EBITDA, to generate future operating plans, make strategic decisions and incentivize and reward its employees. The Company believes that this measure is useful to investors in evaluating cash available to service and repay debt, make other investments and pay dividends. The Company presents Net Debt as a supplemental measure to review the liquidity of its operations and measure the Company’s credit position and progress toward leverage targets. The Company also believes that investors find this measure useful in evaluating its debt levels.
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 metrics may not be the same as or comparable to similar non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies. Because of these and other limitations, you should consider them alongside other financial performance measures, including our net income and other GAAP results. In addition, in evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS and other metrics derived from them, you should be aware that in the future the Company will incur expenses such as those that are the subject of adjustments in deriving Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS and you should not infer from our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS that our future results will not be affected by these expenses or any unusual or non-recurring items.
