CONCORD TOWNSHIP, OH, November 07, 2019 - Ranpak Holdings Corp (NYSE: PACK) (“Ranpak” or “the Company”), a leading provider of environmentally sustainable, systems-based, product protection solutions for e-commerce and industrial supply chains, today reported its third quarter 2019 financial results.

“We are pleased with our strong third quarter results and improved performance,” said Omar M. Asali, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ranpak. “Sales increased by 8.8% year over year on a constant currency basis driven by broad-based growth across geographies with strong growth in cushioning, wrapping, and automation. Profitability was strong with year over year improvement in Adjusted gross profit margin by more than 200 bps to 44.2% and Adjusted EBITDA growth of 6.9%, resulting in an Adjusted EBITDA margin of greater than 31%.

“In addition to expanding the top-line at a solid clip, we are pleased to continue our profitable growth while meaningfully investing in the business through increased R&D and adding high quality talent in impactful positions. In the third quarter we expanded our sales force, product management teams, and business development resources to focus on key growth opportunities available to Ranpak. As these personnel additions season and contribute to our growth profile over time, we expect to experience greater operating leverage in the business. Our key near-term growth initiatives remain retail expansion and innovation, with progress being made in both areas in the third quarter. Our first retail trials begin in the fourth quarter in North America and our new product launch roll-out in cushioning, void-fill, and thermal applications commence later this year as well.”

“Since expanding my role to become CEO in August, communication at Ranpak has improved, customers feel a renewed focus, and we have become a more proactive and nimble organization. While we have more progress to make in order for Ranpak to achieve its true potential, I am excited to see that the changes are beginning to show up in results. We are working extremely hard to finish 2019 on a strong note and expect Q4 to continue the momentum we regained this past quarter.

“These are very exciting times at Ranpak, and in the industry in general, with the increased focus on sustainability and movement towards automated packaging solutions. Given the resources we now have at our disposal, we are exceptionally well positioned to 'deliver a better world' ^TM by offering a superior protective packaging solution.”

_______________________________________________________________________________  

¹   Due to the Predecessor and Successor Periods as they relate to the date of closing of the Ranpak Business Combination, for the convenience of readers, we have presented the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 on a combined basis (reflecting a simple arithmetic combination of the GAAP Predecessor and Successor Periods without further adjustment) in order to present a meaningful comparison against the corresponding periods in the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

² Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please refer to “Presentation of Combined and Pro Forma Measures and Reconciliation of US GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures” in this press release for an explanation and reconciliations of this non-GAAP financial measure

Net sales increased $4.0 million in the quarter, or 6.1%, to $69.1 million, primarily driven by increases in cushioning, wrapping and automation, partially offset by a $0.1 million fair-value purchase accounting adjustment related to deferred revenue for user fees and packaging systems, weakness in the Euro versus the prior period, and void-fill headwinds in North America. On a constant currency basis and excluding effect of the fair-value accounting adjustment net sales increased $5.7 million in the quarter, or 8.8%.

Cost of sales was $39.6 million, an increase of $1.9 million or 4.9% from $37.7 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 due to increases in volume and offset by a fair value purchase accounting adjustment of $1.0 million related to a step-up in inventory costs. Pro forma cost of sales increased by $1.8 million, or 4.7%, to $39.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $37.5 million for the comparable period in 2018 after removing the effect of the fair value adjustment and adjusting to a constant currency in both periods. Gross profit was $29.5 million, or 42.7% of sales. After removing the effect of the fair value adjustment and adjusting to a constant currency in both periods, on a pro forma basis gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 44.2% in the three months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of 2.2% from 42.0% for the comparable period in 2018 due to improved pricing and lower paper costs.

Net loss was $(1.6) million due to transaction activity in the quarter and amortization of intangibles.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 6.9% to $22.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $20.6 million for the comparable period in 2018 driven by increased sales volumes slightly offset by increased investment.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Ranpak completed the third quarter of 2019 with a strong liquidity position, including a cash balance of $13.6 million and zero dollars drawn on its $45 million available Revolving Credit Facility.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had First Lien Term Loan facilities outstanding consisting of $378.2 million USD denominated term loan and €140 million euro-denominated first lien. The Company is focused on reducing leverage through organic growth and debt pay-down to achieve its optimal long-term target leverage profile of 3.0x - 3.5x Net Debt / Adjusted EBITDA. Going forward we believe this leverage profile will enable us to create the most value for shareholders by putting us in a position to capitalize on our strategic growth initiatives while maintaining adequate flexibility to pursue accretive acquisition opportunities.

The following table presents Ranpak’s installed base of protective packaging systems by product line as of September 30, 2019 and 2018: 

(in thousands)	As of September 30,		9/30/2019 vs. 9/30/2018
Protective Packaging Systems	2019	2018	Change	% Change
Cushioning machines	32.1	31.0	1.1	3.6	%
Void-fill machines	59.5	55.7	3.8	6.7	%
Wrapping machines	10.7	8.5	2.2	26.5	%
Total	102.3	95.2	7.1	7.5	%

Outlook for Remainder of 2019

The team remains committed to achieving its previously stated outlook of $95 million Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA, however, in light of performance in the second quarter we have updated our full year 2019 outlook. Our plan for the final quarter of 2019 includes various top line and cost savings initiatives, that we expect, upon execution, will provide us with the resources and operating leverage to achieve a range of $90 - $95 million Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis. ⁴

_______________________________________________________________________________

⁴ A reconciliation of our full year 2019 outlook Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA to U.S. GAAP net income cannot be provided because we are unable to forecast with reasonable certainty many of the items necessary to calculate such comparable GAAP measure, including asset impairments, integration related expenses, reorganizations and discontinued operations related expenses, legal settlement costs, as well as other unusual or non-recurring gains or losses. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to our results computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe the inherent uncertainties in reconciling a Non-GAAP measure for current or projected periods to the most comparable GAAP measure would make the forecasted comparable GAAP measure nearly impossible to predict with reasonable certainty and therefore inherently unreliable.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). However, we have also disclosed below EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures. We have included EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because they are key measures used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short- and long-term operational plans. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our primary business operations. Accordingly, we believe that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. In particular, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be viewed as substitutes for, or superior to, net income (loss) prepared in accordance with GAAP as a measure of profitability or liquidity. Some of these limitations are:

l although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA do not reflect all cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;

l
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

l
adjusted EBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of equity-based compensation;

l
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the impact of the recording or release of valuation allowances or tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;

l
adjusted EBITDA does not take into account any restructuring and integration costs; and

l
other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.

EBITDA- EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude: benefit from (provision for) income taxes; interest expense; and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA- Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude: benefit from (provision for) income taxes; interest expense; depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation expense; expenses related to the Ranpak Business Combination and, in certain periods, certain other income and expense items.

We also believe that adjusting these non-GAAP measures for comparability between the Predecessor, Successor and Pro Forma periods is useful to the user of our financial statements

The unaudited non-GAAP pro forma results of operations data for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 included in the discussion below are based on our historical financial statements, adjusted to remove the effect of costs incurred to consummate the Ranpak Business Combination, and for purchase accounting adjustments related to the Ranpak Business Combination as well as to reflect a constant currency presentation between periods for the convenience of readers.  The pro forma results included herein have not been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

Unless otherwise stated, all results compare pro forma third quarter and nine-month 2019 results to third quarter and nine-month 2018 results from continuing operations for the period end September 30, respectively. Year-over-year financial discussions present operating results from continuing operations as reported, on an organic basis and on a constant currency basis. Organic refers to changes in unit volume and price performance and excludes acquisition and divestiture activity and the impact of currency translation. Constant currency refers to changes in unit volume, price performance and acquisition and divestiture activity and excludes the impact of currency translation. Additionally, non-U.S. GAAP adjusted financial measures, such as Pro forma net sales, Pro forma gross profit, Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA), Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), exclude the impact of specified items, such as transaction costs, fair value adjustments made as a result of a business combination and certain other infrequent or one-time items.
