GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.85
Orlando, May 5, 2021 - Tupperware Brands Corporation (NYSE: TUP) today reported operating results for the first quarter ended March 27, 2021.
First Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights
•Net sales of $460.3 million increased 22% vs. 2020, up 20% in local currency
•GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.85 compared to a loss of $(0.16) for the first quarter 2020
•Adjusted (1) diluted earnings per share were $0.82 compared to $0.09 in 2020
•Net Income was $45.3 million compared to a net loss of $(7.8) million for the first quarter of 2020
•Effective tax rate was 31%
•EBITDA(1) grew 551% to $88.6 million compared to $13.6 million in the first quarter of 2020
“The strong financial performance this quarter is a concrete example that we are strengthening the foundation of our company. We continue to revitalize the brand through the expanded use of digital tools by our sales force to solve consumer needs,” said Miguel Fernandez, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tupperware Brands. “Additionally, we have made great progress building the team needed to accelerate growth in new channels of distribution so more consumers have access to our environmentally-friendly, reusable products.”
“Our cash earnings in the first quarter illustrate the benefits of the ongoing turnaround plan, which is creating a more profitable company. Additionally, the sale of non-core assets resulted in a sizeable reduction of our debt, consistent with our capital allocation policy, resulting in a prospective fifty-basis-point interest rate reduction,” said Sandra Harris, Tupperware Brands Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer.
Quarterly Results:
First quarter net sales were $460.3 million, an increase of 22%, and 20% in local currency when comparing first quarters of 2021 and 2020. Average active sales force increased 16% and productivity was up 3%. This continued increase in activity and productivity of the direct selling sales force is due to adoption of digital tools and techniques to expand their geographical reach to attract more customers and bring Tupperware's environmentally friendly and reusable products to a larger audience.
First quarter 2021 net sales for the segments were:
•Asia Pacific - Net sales were $125.3 million, up 4% and local currency sales down 2% from first quarter of 2020
•Europe - Net sales were $126.8 million, up 20% and local currency sales up 12% from first quarter of 2020
•North America - Net sales were $146.5 million, up 45% and local currency sales up 43% from first quarter of 2020
•South America - Net sales were $61.6 million, up 27% and local currency sales up 53% from first quarter of 2020
Net income was $45.3 million vs. a loss of $(7.8) million for the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively. GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.85 vs. a loss of $(0.16) for the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in net income and GAAP diluted earnings per share was primarily due to increased profit from sales growth, realization of the turnaround plan cost savings and sale of non-core assets.
Liquidity
As of March 27, 2021, the Company continued to be in compliance with its financial covenants under its credit agreement with a debt to debt covenant EBITDA (1) ratio of 2.36 versus 5.36 in the first quarter of 2020.

Other than updating for changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company does not intend to update forward-looking information.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company utilizes non-GAAP financial measures in this release, which are provided to assist readers' understanding of the Company's results of operations. These amounts exclude certain items that at times materially impact the comparability of the Company's results of operations. The adjusted information is intended to be indicative of the Company's primary operations, and to assist readers in evaluating performance and analyzing trends across periods by providing what the Company believes is a useful measure for predictive purposes. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP.
The non-GAAP financial measures include comparisons related to profit that exclude:
•gains from the sale of property, plant and equipment and other real estate related operations
•insurance settlement gains or significant charges related to casualty losses caused by significant weather events, fires or similar circumstances
•exit or disposal cost obligations related to rationalizing supply chain operations and other re-engineering activities performed to wind-down or significantly restructure businesses, including cumulative translation adjustments recognized in income upon liquidation of operations in a country, asset sales or fixed asset impairments, inventory obsolescence and other operating losses incurred in conjunction with such activities
•certain asset retirement obligations
•pension settlements
•significant discrete impacts of new tax laws upon adoption, including the impact on cumulative deferred taxes from items previously recorded as cumulative translation adjustments
•amortization of definite-lived intangible assets
•non-cash impairment charges related to the carrying value of acquired intangible assets and goodwill
•infrequent costs incurred in connection with a change in capital structure
•the impact from hyper-inflationary economies on net monetary assets and other balance sheet positions that impact near term income
•non-recurring costs associated with the turnaround plan
While these types of events can and do recur periodically, they are not part of the Company’s primary business operations and are excluded from indicated financial information due to their distinction from ongoing business operations, inherent volatility and impact on the comparability of earnings across periods, as amounts recognized in any given period are not indicative of amounts that may be recognized in any particular future period.
Additionally, the Company engages in business to business transactions, in which it sells products to a partner company. Since the level of these sales is volatile from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, and is largely independent of the activities of its sales force, the Company at times, in addition to disclosing reported sales, discloses “core” sales amounts and comparisons, which excludes amounts sold under business to business transactions. This illustrates sales results and trends directly associated with activities of its independent sales force. All financial information disclosed and presented includes business to business transactions unless specifically stated as “core” sales or otherwise indicated.
Also, as the impact of changes in exchange rates is an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes the presentation of results on a local currency basis, in addition to reported results, helps improve readers' ability to understand the Company's operating results and evaluate performance in comparison with prior periods. The Company presents local currency information that compares results between periods as if current period exchange rates had been the exchange rates in the prior period. The Company uses results on a local currency basis as one measure to evaluate performance and generally refers to such amounts as restated or excluding the impact of foreign currency.
These core sales and local currency results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP. Core sales and results on a local currency basis may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not measures of performance presented in accordance with GAAP.
Information included with this release includes references to EBITDA, debt covenant EBITDA as well as references to debt to debt covenant EBITDA ratio, which are non-GAAP financial measures used in the Company's term loan agreement and credit agreement. The Company uses these measures in its capital allocation decision process and in discussions with investors, analysts and other interested parties, and therefore believes it is useful to disclose this amount and ratio. The Company's calculation of these measures is in accordance with its term loan agreement and credit agreement, and is set forth in the reconciliation from GAAP amounts in an attachment to this release; however, the reader is cautioned that other companies define these measures in different ways, and consequently they may not be comparable with similarly labeled amounts disclosed by others.
