FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains certain statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us, may include projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth strategies, anticipated trends in our business and anticipated growth in the markets served by our business. These statements are only predictions based on our current expectations and projections about future events. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results, level of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including those factors discussed under the caption entitled “Risk Factors” section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022. You should specifically consider these numerous risks. These risks include, among others, those related to:

fluctuations including increases, in raw material, energy and freight costs;
labor shortages and increased labor costs;
the current macroeconomic environment with high levels of inflation, high interest rates and global supply chain challenges;
our ability to meet demand for our products;
the uncertain economic, operational and financial impacts of the coronavirus pandemic;
failure to maintain satisfactory relationships with our major customers;
our dependence on suppliers of raw materials and any interruption to our supply of raw materials;
the macroeconomic environment globally and in North America, including higher rates of inflation and the risk of recession;
the restructuring of our Beverage Merchandising operations;
the impact of natural disasters, public health crises and catastrophic events outside of our control;
our ability to successfully complete acquisitions, divestitures, investments and other similar transactions that we pursue from time to time;
our ability to realize the benefits of our capital investment, acquisitions, restructuring and other cost savings programs;
our safety performance;
uncertain global economic conditions;
competition in the markets in which we operate;
changes in consumer lifestyle, eating habits, nutritional preferences and health-related, environmental and sustainability concerns;
the impact of our significant debt on our financial condition and ability to operate our business;
changes in market interest rates, or a phase-out or replacement of LIBOR as an interest rate benchmark;
compliance with, and liabilities related to, applicable laws and regulations; and
the ownership of a majority of the voting power of our common stock by our parent company Packaging Finance Limited, which we refer to as PFL, an entity beneficially owned by Mr. Graeme Hart; and
our ability to establish independent financial, administrative and other support functions.Hart.

Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. We are under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this report to conform our prior statements to actual results or revised expectations.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(In millions, except per share data and unless otherwise indicated)

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the accounts of Pactiv Evergreen Inc. (“PTVE”) and its subsidiaries (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentationstatement of the results for the interim periods and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022 filed with the SEC on February 24, 2022.March 7, 2023. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.2023. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Although our current estimates contemplate current conditions and how we expect them to change in the future, as appropriate, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could differ from what was anticipated in those estimates, which could materially affect our results of operations, balance sheet and cash flows. Among other effects, such changes could result in future impairments of goodwill, intangibles and long-lived assets, and adjustments to reserves for employee benefits and income taxes. The estimated recoverable amounts associated with asset impairments represent Level 3 measurements in the fair value hierarchy, which include inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic has had, and may continue to have, a significant impact on our results of operations, and it may also have additional far-reaching impacts on many aspects of our operations including the impact on customer behaviors, business and manufacturing operations, our employees and the market in general. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and liquidity may differ from management’s current estimates due to inherent uncertainties regarding the progress of the pandemic, actions taken to contain the virus, the implementation and effectiveness of vaccinations and how quickly and to what extent economic and operating conditions evolve.

Recent Accounting Guidance Issued but Not Yet Adopted as of September 30, 2022

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Under current GAAP, an acquirer generally recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, including contract assets and contract liabilities arising from revenue contracts with customers, at fair value on the acquisition date. This ASU will result in the acquirer recording acquired contract assets and liabilities on the same basis that would have been recorded by the acquiree before the acquisition under ASC 606. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted, including in interim periods, for any financial statements that have not yet been issued. This ASU should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. While the impact of this ASU is dependent on the nature of any future transactions, we currently do not expect this ASU to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (Topic 848). This ASU provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. This ASU is effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through the end of calendar year 2022. While we currently do not expect this new guidance to have a significant

We reviewed all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they were either not applicable or not expected to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Acquisitions and Dispositions

Acquisitions

On October 1, 2021, we acquired 100% of the outstanding ownership interests of Fabri-Kal LLC, Monarch Mill Pond LLC and Pure Pulp Products LLC (collectively, “Fabri-Kal”) for a purchase price of $378 million, including final adjustments for cash, indebtedness and working capital of $2 million which was paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Fabri-Kal is a U.S. manufacturer of thermoformed plastic packaging products. Its products include portion cups, lids, clamshells, drink cups and yogurt containers for the institutional foodservice and consumer packaged goods markets. The acquisition includes four manufacturing facilities in the U.S. The acquisition broadened our portfolio of sustainable packaging products and expanded our manufacturing capacity to better serve our customers. The acquisition was funded with our existing cash resources and a portion of the U.S. term loans Tranche B-3 incurred in September 2021.

The Fabri-Kal acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and the results of operations were included in our condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Included in our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) are Fabri-Kal’s net revenues of $114 million and $337 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

The following table summarizes the final purchase price allocation of the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

We allocated finite-lived intangible assets acquired to the Foodservice segment which included $56 million of customer relationships with an estimated life of eight years and $34 million of trademarks with an estimated life of ten years. We increased the cost of acquired inventories by $12 million, all of which was expensed as a component of cost of sales during the year ended December 31, 2021. We allocated $69 million of goodwill to the Foodservice segment, of which $41 million is expected to be tax deductible. Goodwill arises principally as a result of expansion opportunities provided by Fabri-Kal’s manufacturing capacity to better serve our customers, in addition to plant operational synergies. The purchase price allocation in the table above is based on our final valuation analysis and reflects measurement period adjustments we recorded during the

nine months ended September 30, 2022 which increased goodwill by $3 million. These adjustments related to reductions in inventories, property, plant and equipment and accrued and other current liabilities, and the related deferred tax effects. None of these adjustments were individually significant.

Real property and personal property fair values were determined using the cost approach. The fair values for customer relationships at the acquisition date were determined using the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach. Significant assumptions used in assessing the fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset were forecasted Adjusted EBITDA margins and contributory asset charges. Trademark fair values were determined using the relief from royalty method. The fair value measurements of intangible assets are based on significant unobservable inputs and thus represent Level 3 inputs.

Note 3. Restructuring, Asset Impairment and Other Related Charges

On March 6, 2023, we announced the Beverage Merchandising Restructuring, a plan approved by our Board of Directors to take significant restructuring actions related to our Beverage Merchandising operations. The Beverage Merchandising Restructuring includes, among other things:

Closure of our Canton, North Carolina mill, including the cessation of mill operations, during the second quarter of 2023;
Closure of our Olmsted Falls, Ohio converting facility and concurrent reallocation of production to our remaining converting facilities during the second quarter of 2023; and
Reorganizing our operating and reporting structure to achieve increased efficiencies and related cost savings.

The Beverage Merchandising Restructuring resulted in a workforce reduction of approximately 1,300 employees. We also continue to explore strategic alternatives for our Pine Bluff, Arkansas mill and our Waynesville, North Carolina facility. We have not set a timetable in relation to this process.

We expect to incur these charges primarily during 2023. These estimates are provisional and include significant management judgments and assumptions that could change materially as we execute our plans. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and the execution of our plan could result in additional restructuring charges or impairments not reflected above.
(2)
Other non-cash charges include the write-down of certain spare parts classified as inventories on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, the write-off of scrapped raw materials and certain construction in-progress balances and accelerated amortization expense for certain operating lease right-of-use assets.
(3)
Exit, disposal and other transition costs are primarily related to equipment decommissioning and dismantlement, transition labor associated with the facility closures and management restructuring, site remediation, contract terminations, system conversion and other related costs.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $56 million related to our remaining closures businesses, which is reported within the Other operating segment. Accordingly, the carrying value of the remaining closures businesses was reduced to fair value, as presented in Note 2, Acquisitions and Dispositions. The impairment arose as a result of our decision to sell the remaining closures businesses.

As a result, we recognized $1 million for contractual termination benefits.

On July 28, 2021, we announced the decision to close our coated groundwood paper production line located in our Pine Bluff, Arkansas mill. On October 31, 2021, we ceased manufacturing coated groundwood paper. As a result of the closure, we recognized $8 million for contractual termination benefits in the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

In the second quarter of 2023, in conjunction with the Beverage Merchandising Restructuring, we implemented a new operating and reporting structure resulting in the combination of our legacy Food Merchandising and Beverage Merchandising segments, creating our Food and Beverage Merchandising segment. Refer to Note 3, Restructuring, Asset Impairment and Other Related Charges, for additional details. We also reorganized the management of certain product lines from our Foodservice segment to our Food and Beverage Merchandising segment. Refer to Note 18, Segment Information, for additional details. The change in the management of certain product lines resulted in a $35 million reclassification of goodwill between the segments based on the estimated relative fair value of the product lines compared to the estimated fair value of the Foodservice reporting unit. We have reflected these changes in our segments in the table above.

We were in compliance with all debt covenants during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and the year ended December 31, 2021.

On September 24, 2021, we incurred $1,015 million of term loans (“U.S. term loans tranche B-3”) and issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (“4.375% Notes”). A portion of the net proceeds from the U.S. term loans Tranche B-3, along with the net proceeds from the 4.375% Notes, was used to repay in full the $1,207 million of existing U.S. term loans Tranche B-1 maturing in February 2023, including accrued interest. The balance of the net proceeds from the U.S. term loans Tranche B-3 was used to partially fund the acquisition of Fabri-Kal. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we repaid the remaining $59 million of the 5.125% senior secured notes at a price of 101.281%. The early repayment of these senior secured notes resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1 million in respect of the premium on redemption, which was recognized in interest expense, net.2022.

The Revolving Tranche represents a $250 million facility. The amount utilized is in the form of letters of credit.

During the first quarter of 2023, we repaid $110 million of our U.S. term loans Tranche B-2. The repayment was first applied to the remaining U.S term loans Tranche B-2 quarterly amortization payments, thereby eliminating all remaining quarterly amortization payments for the U.S term loans Tranche B-2, with the residual balance applied to the outstanding principal balance due at maturity. During the second quarter of 2023, we repaid a further $180 million of our U.S. term loans Tranche B-2.

On April 17, 2023, we amended the Credit Agreement, replacing the LIBOR-based reference rate with a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) based reference rate, effective for interest payments for the period commencing April 28, 2023. Other than the foregoing, the material terms of the Credit Agreement remain unchanged, and our election to use certain practical expedients under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 848: Reference Rate Reform resulted in no material impacts on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

On July 26, 2023, we further amended the Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date on our $250 million Revolving Tranche facility from August 5, 2024 to August 5, 2025. There were no other material changes to the terms of the Credit Agreement as a result of this amendment.

Pactiv Evergreen Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(In millions, except per share data and unless otherwise indicated)

(Unaudited)

Our derivatives are comprised of commodity and interest rate swaps. All derivatives represent Level 2 financial assets and liabilities. Our derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the observable market index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount or based on pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as commodity prices.prices and interest rates. Our calculation of the fair value of these financial instruments takes into consideration the risk of non-performance, including counterparty credit risk. The majority of our derivative contracts do not have a legal right of set-off. We manage the credit risk in connection with our derivatives by limiting the amount of exposure with each counterparty and monitoring the financial condition of our counterparties.

During the three and nine months ended September 30,fourth quarter of 2022, and 2021, we recognized unrealized lossesentered into derivative financial instruments with several large financial institutions which swapped the LIBO rate for a weighted average fixed rate of 4.120% for an aggregate notional amount of $101,000 million to hedge a portion of the interest rate exposure resulting from our U.S. term loans. These instruments are classified as cash flow hedges and mature in October 2025. In April 2023, we amended our interest rate swap agreements to replace the interest rate benchmark from LIBOR to SOFR, effective for swap payments for the period commencing April 28, 2023. Other than the foregoing, the material terms of the interest rate swap agreements remain unchanged, including the weighted average fixed rate of 4.120%, and our election to use certain practical expedients under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 848: Reference Rate Reform resulted in no material impacts on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized an unrealized gain of $41 million, an unrealized loss of $1 million, an unrealized gain of $1 million and an unrealized gain of $56 million, respectively, in cost of sales.sales, for our commodity swap contracts.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized realized gains of $2 million and $3 million, respectively, within interest expense, net and unrealized gains of $21 million and $14 million, respectively, within other comprehensive income (loss) for our interest rate derivatives. At June 30, 2023, we expected to reclassify $8 million of gains, net of tax, from AOCL to earnings over the next twelve months. The actual amount that will be reclassified to future earnings may vary from this amount as a result of changes in market conditions.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

We are from time to time party to litigation, legal proceedings and tax examinations arising from our operations. Most of these matters involve allegations of damages against us relating to employment matters, personal injury and commercial or contractual disputes. We are also involved in various administrative and other proceedings relating to environmental matters that arise in the normal course of business, and we may become involved in similar matters in the future. We record estimates for claims and proceedings that constitute a present obligation when it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of such obligation can be made. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of any of these matters, with certainty, based on our assessment of the facts and circumstances, we do not believe any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our balance sheet, results of operations or cash flows. However, actual outcomes may differ from those expected and could have a material effect on our balance sheet, results of operations or cash flows in a future period. Except for amounts provided, there were no legal proceedings pending other than those for which we have determined that the possibility of a material outflow is remote.

Legal Proceedings

On April 14, 2021, MP2 Energy LLC (“MP2”) filed a lawsuit against Pactiv LLC (“Pactiv”), one of our indirect subsidiaries, in state court in Montgomery County, Texas. In this lawsuit, MP2 sought to collect approximately $50 million from Pactiv that MP2 claimed that Pactiv owed MP2 under an energy management services agreement (“EMSA”). Pactiv disputed any liability to MP2 and maintained that Pactiv acted reasonably at all times and that the event of Force Majeure excused any obligation Pactiv had to supply the contract quantity under the EMSA and Transaction Confirmation No. 4 or to reimburse MP2 for its cost in contracting for any shortfall in the contract quantity.

On July 20, 2022, the parties entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which, among others, MP2 dismissed its claims with prejudice, Pactiv paid MP2 an insignificant cash payment and the parties entered into new commercial arrangements.

Indemnities

As part of the agreements for the sale of various businesses, we have provided certain warranties and indemnities to the respective purchasers as set out in the respective sale agreements. These warranties and indemnities are subject to various terms and conditions affecting the duration and total amount of the indemnities. Any claims pursuant to these warranties and indemnities, if successful, could have a material effect on our balance sheet, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 14. Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 20212022 represent our estimate of the annual effective tax rates expected to be applicable for the respective full fiscal years, adjusted for any discrete events which are recorded in the period that they occur.

During the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2023, we recognized a tax benefit of $8 million on loss before tax of $147 million. The effective tax rate was driven primarily by the inability to recognize a tax benefit on all interest expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized a tax benefit of $27 million on loss before tax of $299 million. The effective tax rate was driven primarily by the inability to recognize a tax benefit on all interest expense.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized a tax expense of $7945 million on income from continuing operations before tax of $254 million. The effective tax rate is primarily due to the tax impacts from the sales of our businesses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized a tax expense of $160 million on income from continuing operations before tax of $452 million. The effective tax rate is primarily due to the inability to recognize a tax benefit on all interest expense and the tax impacts from the sales of our businesses.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized a tax benefit of $13 million on a loss from continuing operations before tax of $11119 million. The effective tax rate was driven primarily by the mix of income taxed at varying rates among the jurisdictions in which we operate and an inability to recognize a $9 million discretetax benefit from the partial release of our valuation allowance for deferredon all interest deductions that was attributable to the remeasurement of the PEPP as a result of the partial settlement transaction.expense.

We are under audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other taxing authorities. The IRS is currently auditing our U.S. income tax returns for 2016-2017. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, we have not received any proposed adjustments from taxing authorities that would be material. Although the ultimate timing is uncertain, it is reasonably possible that a reduction of up to $109 million of unrecognized tax benefits could occur within the next twelve months due to changes in audit status, settlements of tax assessments and other events.

The total vest date fair value of shares that vested during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 was $56 million.

Performance Share Units

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, we granted performance share units (“PSUs”) to certain members of management which vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. Based on the achievement of a company performance target during a performance period set by our Compensation Committee, upon vesting, the PSUs are exchanged for a number of shares of common stock equal to the number of PSUs multiplied by a factor between 0% and 200%. We use our stock price on the grant date to estimate the fair value of our PSUs. We adjust the expense based on the likelihood of future achievement of performance metrics. If any of the performance targets are not achieved, the awards are forfeited. During the vesting period, the PSUs carry dividend-equivalent rights, but the PSUs do not have voting rights. The PSUs and any related dividend-equivalent rights are forfeited in the event the holder is no longer an employee on the vesting date, unless the holder satisfies certain retirement-eligibility criteria.

Note 18. Segment Information

We have three reportable segments: Foodservice,In the second quarter of 2023, in conjunction with the Beverage Merchandising Restructuring, we implemented a new operating and reporting structure resulting in the combination of our legacy Food Merchandising and Beverage Merchandising.Merchandising segments, creating our Food and Beverage Merchandising segment. Refer to Note 3, Restructuring, Asset Impairment and Other Related Charges, for additional details. We also reorganized the management of certain product lines from our Foodservice segment to our Food and Beverage Merchandising segment.

As of the end of the second quarter of 2023, we analyze the results of our business through our Foodservice and Food and Beverage Merchandising segments. All prior periods have been recast to reflect the current reportable segment structure and the change in the management of certain product lines. These reportable segments reflect our operating structure and the manner in which our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), who is our President and Chief Executive Officer, assesses information for decision-making purposes.

The key factors used to identify these reportable segments are the organization of our internal operations and the nature of our products. This reflects how our CODM monitors performance, allocates capital and makes strategic and operational decisions. Our reportable segments are described as follows:

Foodservice - Manufactures a broad range of products that enable consumers to eat and drink where they want and when they want with convenience. Foodservice manufactures food containers, drinkware (hot and cold cups and lids), tableware, serviceware and other products which make eating on-the-go more enjoyable and easy to do.

23Food and Beverage Merchandising - Manufactures products that protect and attractively display food and beverages while preserving freshness. Food and Beverage Merchandising products include cartons for fresh refrigerated beverage products, primarily serving dairy (including plant-based, organic and specialties), juice and other specialty beverage end-markets, clear rigid-display containers, containers for prepared and ready-to-eat food, trays for meat and poultry and egg cartons. It also produces fiber-based liquid packaging board for its

Beverage Merchandising - Manufactures cartons for fresh refrigerated beverage products, primarily serving dairy (including plant-based, organic and specialties), juice and other specialty beverage end-markets. Beverage Merchandising manufactures and supplies integrated fresh carton systems, which include printed cartons, spouts and filling machinery. It also produces fiber-based liquid packaging board for its internal requirements and to sell to other fresh beverage carton manufacturers as well asmanufacturers. Prior to June 2023, it also produced a range of paper-based products which it sellssold to paper and packaging converters.

Information by Segment

We present reportable segment Adjusted EBITDA as this is the financial measure by which management allocatesand our CODM allocate resources and analyzesanalyze the performance of our reportable segments.

A segment’s Adjusted EBITDA represents its earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization and is 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 executive transition charges and gains or losses on certain legal settlements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Our discussion and analysis is intended to help the reader understand our results of operations and financial condition and is provided as an addition to, and should be read in connection with, our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Our Company

We are a leading manufacturer and distributor of fresh foodservice and food merchandising products and fresh beverage cartons in North America. We produce a broad range of on-trend and feature-rich products that protect, package and display food and beverages for today’s consumers. Our products include containers, drinkware (such as hot and cold cups and lids), cartons for fresh refrigerated beverage products, tableware, meat and poultry trays, paper products, liquid packaging board, serviceware, prepared food trays and egg cartons. Our products, many of which are made with recycled, recyclable or renewable materials, are sold to a diversified mix of customers, including restaurants, foodservice distributors, retailers, food and beverage producers, packers and processors. We report

Change in Segments

In the second quarter of 2023, in conjunction with the Beverage Merchandising Restructuring, we implemented a new operating and reporting structure resulting in the combination of our business in three reportable segments: Foodservice,legacy Food Merchandising and Beverage Merchandising. Merchandising segments, creating our Food and Beverage Merchandising segment. We also reorganized the management of certain product lines from our Foodservice segment to our Food and Beverage Merchandising segment.

As of the end of the second quarter of 2023, we analyze the results of our business through our Foodservice and Food and Beverage Merchandising segments. All prior periods have been recast to reflect the current reportable segment structure and the change in the management of certain product lines.

We provided certain unaudited recast financial information for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the four quarters of the year ended December 31, 2022 and the three months ended March 31, 2023 in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 2, 2023.

Refer to Note 3, Restructuring, Asset Impairment and Other Related Charges, and Note 18, Segment Information, for additional details.

Business Environment

During 2022,the first half of 2023, we experienced meaningful input cost inflation, including higher raw material and labor costs. Our pricing strategy across alla continued moderation in consumer demand for certain of our segments, including contractual pass-through mechanismsproducts, primarily driven by sustained high levels of inflation and other pricing actions, has mitigated certain ofgeneral macroeconomic uncertainty. While we have not seen a material economic contraction to-date, these inflationary pressures. These pressures may alsocontinue to impact consumer demand and thus our customers’ purchasing decisions and order patterns throughout the remainder of 20222023.

Our input costs have largely stabilized and into 2023,have begun to moderate in certain circumstances as well as consumer mobilitycompared to recent periods. Our pricing strategy continues to provide us with flexibility to effectively manage our margins through cost recovery mechanisms and discretionary spending. Additionally, while labor availability has improved during the year, a tight labor market has continued to challengestrategic competitive pricing. In this dynamic environment, we remain focused on servicing our businesscustomers and our operations. Despite these headwinds, we have seen strong customer retention while renewing our focus onimproving manufacturing productivity across all of our segments.business.

While strong demand for labor domestically continuesDuring the second quarter of 2023, we ceased operations at our Canton, North Carolina mill and our converting facility in Olmsted Falls, Ohio, and production from the Olmsted Falls facility was reallocated to support consumer spendingother sites. We expect these actions will allow us to solidify our leadership position in the face of inflationary pressures, risinglarge, growing end markets while prioritizing our distinctive core strengths.

Elevated interest rates and the resulting volatility within the capital markets over the last year have created additional uncertainty with respect to the economic outlook. If economic conditions were to deteriorate, a further decline in consumer spending may result, which could lead to a meaningful decline in demand for our products intoin the remainder of 2023 and beyond.

The acquisition includes four manufacturing facilities in the U.S. The acquisition broadened our portfolio of sustainable packaging products and expanded our manufacturing capacity to better serve our customers. The acquisition was funded with our existing cash resources and a portion of the U.S. term loans Tranche B-3 incurred in September 2021.

We expect that the Beverage Merchandising Restructuring will enable us to maintain our strong position in the liquid packaging market by increasing our overall productivity over time and optimizing our manufacturing footprint. It also resulted in our exit from the uncoated freesheet paper market.

We also continue to explore strategic alternatives for our Pine Bluff, Arkansas mill and our Waynesville, North Carolina facility. We have not set a timetable in relation to this process.

The operations impacted by the Beverage Merchandising Restructuring did not qualify for presentation as discontinued operations.

Refer to Note 3, Restructuring, Asset Impairment and Other Related Charges, for additional details.

Dispositions and Exit Activities

Over recent periods, we made strategic decisions to focus on our core, business-to-business North American foodservice, food merchandising and beverage merchandising operations. Accordingly, we divested or exited certain of our non-core businesses which enables us to focus on our strategic core competencies.

On January 4, 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement with SIG Schweizerische Industrie-Gesellschaft GmbH to sell Beverage Merchandising Asia. The transaction closed on August 2, 2022, and we received preliminary proceeds of $336 million, which are subject to adjustments for cash, indebtedness and working capital as of the date of completion. We recognized a preliminary gain on sale of $239 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022. Sales of liquid packaging board to our former Beverage Merchandising Asia operations, which were previously eliminated in consolidation, are recorded as external net revenues subsequent to the transaction’s completion.million.

In SeptemberDuring 2022, we committed to a plan to sell our remaining closures businesses. Asbusinesses included in the Other operating segment. We completed the sale of a result, we classified the assets and liabilitiessubstantial portion of these businesses as heldon October 31, 2022, and the remaining operations on March 1, 2023, all for sale and recognized a pre-tax charge to earnings of $56 million within restructuring, asset impairment and other related charges during the three months ended September 30, 2022.an immaterial amount.

On October 12, 2021,March 29, 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement forcompleted the sale of our equity interests in Naturepak Beverage, our 50% joint venture with Naturepak Limited, to affiliates of Elopak ASA. The transaction closed on March 29, 2022, and weWe received preliminary proceeds of $47 million which are subject to adjustments for cash, indebtedness and working capital as of the date of completion. We recognized a preliminary gain on the sale of our equity interests of $27 million during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022.

On July 28, 2021, we announced the decision to close our coated groundwood paper production line located in our Pine Bluff, Arkansas mill. On October 31, 2021, we ceased manufacturing coated groundwood paper, and we substantially completed our exit from this business during the fourth quarter of 2021. As a result of the closure, we recognized $1 million for disassembly costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and $8 million for contractual termination benefits during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

None of these dispositions qualify for presentation as discontinued operations.

Winter Storm Uri and Tropical Storm FredPension Partial Settlement Transactions

InOn September 20, 2022 and February 2021, the Southern24, 2022, using PPPE assets, we purchased non-participating group annuity contracts from insurance companies and transferred a portion of the U.S. was impacted by Winter Storm Uri which brought record low temperatures, snowPPPE’s projected benefit obligations. In each instance, the respective insurance companies have assumed responsibility for pension benefits and ice and resulted in power failures, hazardous road conditions, damage to property and death and injury to individuals in those states. During most of this weather event, we were unable to fully operate some of our mills, plants and warehousesin Texas and Arkansas. During the first half of 2021, we incurred approximately $50 million of incremental costs including energy costs, primarily related to natural gas, shut-down costs and some property damage during the storm. Our Beverage Merchandising segment was impacted to the greatest degree with total incremental costs of $37 million incurred by our paper mill in Pine Bluff, Arkansas.annuity administration. The following table provides details regarding each transaction:

As a result of the storm, certain of our suppliers with locations in the impacted areas were also unable to operate which subsequently resulted in their declaration of force majeure on meeting the supply quantities due to us. In particular, our supply of various resin types was limited, and we were required to purchase from other suppliers, and at a higher price, in order to meet our production demands for March and April of 2021. As further discussed in our Results of Operations, our cost of sales was adversely impacted for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as the products manufactured with this higher priced material were sold.

In August 2021, the Southeastern portion of the U.S. was impacted by Tropical Storm Fred which brought severe flooding. As a result of the storm, our paper mill in Canton, North Carolina experienced a flood which resulted in the damage of certain property, plant and equipment. The mill subsequently experienced an explosion and resulting fire. Due to the extent of damage sustained from the flood, fire and related events, we were unable to fully operate our paper mill in Canton, North Carolina for several days during the third quarter of 2021. Accordingly, our Beverage Merchandising segment incurred $7 million of incremental costs, including costs related to the shut-down of the mill and to repair damaged property, plant and equipment, during the three months ended September 30, 2021.

COVID-19

We have been actively responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact. During the early part of 2021, we experienced lower demand for our products and, as a result, a decline in revenues. Commencing in the second quarter of 2021 and continuing throughout 2021, volumes improved in our business, most significantly in our Foodservice segment. To date, we have not experienced significant issues across our supply chain due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the sourcing of materials and

28


logistics service providers. As the general effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to change and remain unpredictable, the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to impact our results of operations in future periods as the macroeconomic environment and consumer behavior continue to evolve.

Non-GAAP Measures – Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations

In addition to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, we make use of the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to evaluate and manage our business and to plan and make near-term and long-term operating and strategic decisions.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is defined as net income (loss) from continuing operationsincome calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus the sum of income tax expense, 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 executive transition charges and gains or losses on certain legal settlements.

We present Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations because it is a key measure used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, make strategic decisions and incentivize and reward our employees. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management team and Board of Directors. We also believe that using Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis because it excludes variations primarily caused by changes in the items noted above. In addition, our chief operating decision maker, who is our President and Chief Executive Officer, uses Adjusted EBITDA of each reportable segment to evaluate the operating performance of such segments.

Our use of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Instead, you should consider it alongside other financial performance

27


measures, including our net (loss) income (loss) and other GAAP results. In addition, in evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, from continuing operations, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses such as those that are the subject of adjustments made in deriving Adjusted EBITDA, from continuing operations, and you should not infer from our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations that our future results will not be affected by these expenses or any unusual or non-recurring items. The following is a reconciliation of our net income (loss) from continuing operations,income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for each of the periods indicated:

Net Revenues. Net revenues for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022 increased2023 decreased by $215$214 million, or 15%13%, to $1,609$1,426 million compared to the prior year period. The increasedecrease was primarily due to favorable pricing, due to the contractual pass-through of higher material costs and pricing actions across all of our segments. In addition, the Foodservice segment’s acquisition of Fabri-Kal on October 1, 2021 contributed $114 million of incremental sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year period. These increases were partially offset by lower sales volume, primarily due to strong sales volume in the prior year period as businessesclosure of our Canton, North Carolina mill operations during the second quarter of 2023 and restaurants re-opened post-COVID-19 lockdowns in our Foodservice segment, the market softening amid inflationary pressures in our Food Merchandising segment and our strategic exit from the coated groundwood business in our Beverage Merchandising segment in December 2021, and the impact from the disposition of Beverage Merchandising Asia on August 2, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We manage our capital structure in an effort to most effectively execute our strategic priorities and maximize shareholder value. We believe that we have sufficient liquidity to support our ongoing operations and to re-invest in our business to drive future growth. Our projected operating cash flows, cash on-hand and available capacity under our revolving credit facility are our primary sources of liquidity for the next 12 months. We expect our liquidity to fund capital expenditures, payments of interest and principal on our debt, cash-based restructuring charges and distributions to shareholders that require approval by our Board of Directors. Additionally, we may utilize portions of our excess cash to repurchase certain amounts of our long-term debt prior to maturity depending on market conditions, among other factors.

Cash flows

Our cash flows for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 20212022 were as follows:

These items were partially offset by net cash provided by various debt financing transactions undertaken during the prior year period. Net cash provided by operating activities increased as compared to the prior year period primarily due to favorable pricing, net of material costs passed through, the impact from the acquisition of Fabri-Kal and prior year period costs from Winter Storm Uri, partially offset by a strategic inventory build during the currentprior year periodthat did not recur, partially offset by higher incentive compensation payments, cash payments made related to the Beverage Merchandising Restructuring and higher cash tax and interest payments.

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, our primary sourcessource of cash were $364 million in combined proceeds related to the sale of Beverage Merchandising Asia and our equity interests in Naturepak Beverage, and $241was $215 million of net cash provided by operating activities.

Dividends

WeDuring each of the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we paid cash dividends of $54 million and $53 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.$18 million. On November 3, 2022,August 1, 2023, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.10 per share to be paid on DecemberSeptember 15, 20222023 to shareholders of record as of November 30, 2022.August 31, 2023.

Our Credit Agreement and Notes limit the ability to make dividend payments, subject to specified exceptions. Our Board of Directors must review and approve future dividend payments and will determine whether to declare additional dividends based on our operating performance, expected future cash flows, debt levels, liquidity needs and investment opportunities.

Financing and capital resources

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, we had $4,258$3,862 million of total principal amount of borrowings. Refer to Note 8, Debt, for additional details. As of September 30, 2022, the underlying one month LIBO rate for amounts borrowed under our Credit Agreement was 3.12%. Based on this rate, our 2022 annual cash interest obligations on our borrowings are expected to be approximately $215 million. Of our total debt, $2,233$1,933 million is subject to variable interest rates, representing borrowings drawn under our Credit Agreement. Based on our outstanding debt commitments as

On April 17, 2023, we amended the Credit Agreement, replacing the LIBOR-based reference rate with a SOFR-based reference rate, effective for interest payments for the period commencing April 28, 2023. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022 and all other variables remaining constant, a 100 basis point increase (decrease) in interest rates would result in a $22 million per annum increase (decrease) in interest expense on2023, the term loansunderlying one-month SOFR for amounts borrowed under our Credit Agreement.Agreement was 5.22%.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we repaid an aggregate of $290 million of our U.S. term loans Tranche B-2.

33


During the fourth quarter of 2022, we entered into derivative financial instruments with large institutions that fixed the LIBO rate at a weighted average rate of 4.12% for an aggregate notional amount of $1,000 million to hedge a portion of the interest rate exposure resulting from our U.S. term loans and classified the instruments as cash flow hedges. Our cash flow hedge contracts mature in October 2025. During the second quarter of 2023, we amended our interest rate swap agreements, replacing the LIBOR-based reference rate with a SOFR-based reference rate, effective for swap payments for the period commencing April 28, 2023. The weighted average fixed rate of 4.12% for our interest rate swap agreements was unchanged as a result of these amendments.

Based on the one-month SOFR as of June 30, 2023, and including the impact of our interest rate swap agreements, our 2023 annual cash interest obligations on our borrowings are expected to be approximately $260 million.

On July 26, 2023, we further amended the Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date on our $250 million Revolving Tranche facility from August 5, 2024 to August 5, 2025. There were no other material changes to the terms of the Credit Agreement as a result of this amendment.

Under the Credit Agreement, we may incur additional indebtedness either by satisfying certain incurrence tests or by incurring such additional indebtedness under certain specific categories of permitted debt. Incremental senior secured indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and senior secured or unsecured notes in lieu thereof are permitted to be incurred up to an aggregate principal amount of $750 million subject to pro forma compliance with the Credit Agreement’s total secured leverage ratio covenant. In addition, we may incur senior secured indebtedness in an unlimited amount as long as our total secured leverage ratio does not exceed 4.50 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis, and (in the case of incremental senior secured indebtedness under the Credit Agreement only) we are in pro forma compliance with the Credit Agreement’s total secured leverage ratio covenant. The incurrence of unsecured indebtedness, including the issuance of senior notes, and unsecured subordinated indebtedness is also permitted (subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement) if the fixed charge coverage ratio is at least 2.00 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis.

Under the respective indentures governing the Notes, we may incur additional indebtedness either by satisfying certain incurrence tests or by incurring such additional indebtedness under certain specific categories of permitted debt. Indebtedness may be incurred under the incurrence tests if the fixed charge coverage ratio is at least 2.00 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis or the consolidated total leverage ratio is no greater than 5.50 to 1.00 and the liens securing first lien secured indebtedness do not exceed a 4.10 to 1.00 consolidated secured first lien leverage ratio.

We are required to make annual prepayments of term loans with up to 50% of excess cash flow (which will be reduced to 25% or 0% if specified senior secured first lien leverage ratios are met) as determined in accordance with the Credit Agreement. No excess cash flow prepayments were made in 2021 or will be due in 2022 for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022.

We believe that we have sufficient liquidity to support our ongoing operations in the next 12 months and to invest in future growth to create further value for our shareholders. Our primary drivers of increaseddecreased liquidity for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 were $364$290 million in proceeds from the sale of Beverage Merchandising Asiadebt repayments, $116 million of capital expenditures and our equity interests in Naturepak Beverage, and$36 million of dividends paid. These drivers of decreased liquidity were partially offset by net operating cash flows of $241 million. These sources of additional liquidity were partially offset by capital expenditures of $169$215 million during the year.same period. We currently anticipate incurring a total of approximately $260$280 million in capital expenditures and approximately $120 million of cash restructuring charges during fiscal year 2022.2023.

During 2022,the six months ended June 30, 2023, our working capital increased $343decreased $301 million, or 33%23%, primarily due to our use of cash proceedsfor $290 million of early debt repayments, capital expenditures, reductions of our inventory levels and dividend payments, which were partially offset by income from our recent divestitures and our strategic inventory build during the year.operations. Our working capital position provides us the flexibility for further consideration of strategic initiatives, including reinvestment in our business and deleveraging of our balance sheet. As a result, we may utilize portions of our excess cash to repurchase certain amounts of our long-term debt prior to maturity depending on market conditions, among other factors.

Our ability to borrow under our revolving credit facility or to incur additional indebtedness may be limited by the terms of such indebtedness or other indebtedness, including the Credit Agreement and the Notes. The Credit Agreement and the respective indentures governing the Notes generally allow our subsidiaries to transfer funds in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances within the Company.

Other than short-term leases executed in the normal course of business, we have no material off-balance sheet obligations.
