(NYSE:PRMB)
TAMPA,
FL, Nov. 7, 2024 /CNW/ - Primo Water
Corporation (NYSE: PRMW) (TSX: PRMW) (the "Company" or "Primo
Water"), a leading provider of sustainable drinking water
solutions in North America, today
announced its results for the third quarter ended September 28, 2024.
"Once again, we had a fantastic quarter, exceeding revenue and
volume expectations across our core water channels. Revenue
growth was driven by both volume and pricing, leading to earnings
growth and margin expansion across our business. Our focus on the
'must-wins' of delivering exceptional customer service, being the
water solutions partner of choice, and providing operational
excellence continues to drive growth and creates value for our
stakeholders," said Robbert Rietbroek, Chief Executive Officer.
"Turning to our planned business combination the Transaction
with BlueTriton, earlier this week we were granted a final order
approving the Transaction from the Ontario Superior Court of
Justice, and our shareowners also overwhelmingly approved the
Transaction. Subject to certain customary closing conditions, we
anticipate the closing will occur on or about November 8, 2024, and as part of the rollout of
the new company, we announced earlier this week the new combined
company's name, Primo Brands, and
new ticker symbol of 'PRMB', which we expect will begin trading on
the NYSE as early as Monday, November 11,
2024. The closing of the transaction will mark an exciting
new chapter as we bring together the strengths of both legacy
companies. I am pleased with the tremendous progress we've made in
shaping the future of Primo Brands.
Our teams have been intensely focused on ensuring we 'hit the
ground running' post-close. We have established integration
planning working groups across both organizations to identify
opportunities, build an optimized structure, and unlock synergies
throughout the combined business," continued Mr. Rietbroek.
(Unless stated otherwise, all third quarter 2024
comparisons are relative to the third quarter of 2023; all
information is in U.S. dollars. Non-GAAP reconciliations presented
on the exhibits to this press release)
THIRD QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS - CONTINUING OPERATIONS
- Revenue increased 8.8% to $511
million compared to $470
million driven by revenue growth with 5.0% of the growth
attributable to volume and 3.8% attributable to pricing.
Contribution from organic growth was 7.4% for the quarter. Revenue
growth by channel includes 8.0% in Water Direct / Water Exchange,
7.1% in Water Refill / Water Filtration and 102.2% in Other Water,
which is primarily Mountain Valley Spring water sold at retail and
on-premise.
- Gross profit increased 9.1% to $331
million compared to $303
million. Gross margin increased 20 bps to 64.7% compared to
64.5%, driven by pricing, increased volume and operating
efficiencies.
- SG&A expenses increased 7.1% to $262
million compared to $245
million. The increase was driven by higher selling and
operating costs that supported volume and revenue growth.
- Reported net income and net income per diluted share were
$38 million and $0.24, respectively, compared to reported net
income and net income per diluted share of $34 million and $0.21, respectively. Adjusted net income and
adjusted net income per diluted share were $56 million and $0.35, respectively, compared to $39 million and $0.24, respectively.
- Adjusted EBITDA increased 11.4% to $125
million compared to $112
million, driven by pricing initiatives, customer demand and
effective expense management. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 24.4%,
compared to 23.8%.
- Net cash provided by operating activities of $91 million, less $36
million of capital expenditures and additions to intangible
assets, resulted in $55 million of
free cash flow, or $60 million of
adjusted free cash flow (adjusting for the items set forth on
Exhibit 6), compared to net cash provided by operating activities
of $127 million and adjusted free
cash flow of $93 million in the prior
year.

TRANSACTION RELATED MATTERS
The Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) has
granted a final order approving the plan of arrangement for the
proposed business combination between Primo
Water and BlueTriton. All shareholder and regulatory
approvals have been received, and the transaction is expected to
close on or about November 8, 2024,
subject to satisfaction of certain customary closing
conditions.
The combined company, Primo Brands Corporation, is expected to
begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker
symbol "PRMB" as early as November 11,
2024.
ABOUT PRIMO WATER CORPORATION
Primo Water is a leading
North America-focused pure-play
water solutions provider that operates largely under a recurring
revenue model in the large format water category (defined as 3
gallons or greater). This business strategy is commonly referred to
as "razor-razorblade" because the initial sale of a product creates
a base of users who frequently purchase complementary consumable
products. The razor in Primo Water's
revenue model is its industry leading line-up of innovative water
dispensers, which are sold through approximately 11,700 retail
locations and online at various price points. The dispensers help
increase household and business penetration which drives recurring
purchases of Primo Water's
razorblade offering or water solutions. Primo Water's razorblade offering is comprised
of Water Direct, Water Exchange, and Water Refill. Through its
Water Direct business, Primo Water
delivers sustainable hydration solutions direct to customers,
whether at home or to businesses. Through its Water Exchange
business, customers visit retail locations and purchase a
pre-filled bottle of water. Once consumed, empty bottles are
exchanged at our recycling center displays, which provide a ticket
that offers a discount toward the purchase of a new bottle. Water
Exchange is available in approximately 18,100 retail locations.
Through its Water Refill business, customers refill empty bottles
at approximately 23,500 self-service refill drinking water
stations. Primo Water also offers
water filtration units across North
America.
Primo Water'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 Water is committed to its water
stewardship standards and is proud to partner with the
International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) in North America which ensures strict adherence
to safety, quality, sanitation and regulatory standards for the
benefit of consumer protection.
Primo Water 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 generally accepted accounting principles in
the United States ("GAAP"),
Primo Water utilizes certain
non-GAAP financial measures. Primo
Water utilizes organic revenue growth (which excludes the
impact of acquisitions). Primo Water
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 Water 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 Water's underlying business performance
and the performance of its management. Additionally,
Primo Water 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 Water'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 Water's
business, making strategic acquisitions, paying dividends, and
strengthening the balance sheet. The non-GAAP financial
measures described above are in addition to, and not meant to be
considered superior to, or a substitute for, Primo Water'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.

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 For the
periods presented, the non-GAAP diluted weighted average common
shares outstanding equaled the reported diluted weighted average
common shares outstanding.
