Business and Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Business and Recent Accounting Pronouncements Description of Business As used herein, “Primo,” “the Company,” “our Company,” “Primo Water Corporation,” “us,” or “our” refers to Primo Water Corporation, together with its consolidated subsidiaries. Primo 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’s revenue model is its industry leading line-up of innovative water dispensers, which are sold through approximately 11,200 retail locations and online at various price points. The dispensers help increase household and business penetration which drives recurring purchases of Primo’s razorblade offering or water solutions. Primo’s razorblade offering is comprised of Water Direct, Water Exchange, and Water Refill. Through its Water Direct business, Primo 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 17,500 retail locations. Through its Water Refill business, customers refill empty bottles at approximately 23,500 self-service refill drinking water stations. Primo also offers water filtration units across North America. Primo’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 is committed to its water stewardship standards and is proud to partner with the International Bottled Water Association in North America which ensures strict adherence to safety, quality, sanitation and regulatory standards for the benefit of consumer protection. Environmental stewardship is a part of who we are, and we have worked to progressively achieve carbon neutrality throughout our organization. Our U.S. operations achieved carbon neutral certification in 2020 under the Carbon Neutral Protocol, an international standard administered by Climate Impact Partners. Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of our results of operations for the interim periods reported and of our financial condition as of the date of the interim balance sheet have been included. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 30, 2023 included herein was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”). This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes in the 2023 Annual Report. The accounting policies used in these interim unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those used in the annual Consolidated Financial Statements. The presentation of these interim unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Discontinued Operations On November 2, 2023, Primo entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with a subsidiary of the Culligan Group providing for the sale of Carbon Luxembourg S.à.r.l. and certain of its subsidiaries (the "European Business"). On December 29, 2023, Primo completed the sale of the European Business for aggregate deal consideration of $575.0 million, adjusted for customary purchase price adjustments resulting in total cash consideration of $565.9 million (the “European Divestiture”). The European Divestiture did not include Primo's interests in Aimia Foods Limited (“Aimia”), Decantae Mineral Water Limited (“Decantae”), Fonthill Waters Ltd (“Fonthill”), John Farrer & Company Limited (“Farrers”), and the portions of the Eden Springs Netherlands B.V. business located in the United Kingdom, Israel, and Portugal (collectively the "Remaining International Businesses"). The European Business and the Remaining International Businesses are collectively the "International Businesses." This deal is the first of several transactions that will occur in 2024 as part of a Board-approved plan to sell all of our international businesses, representing a strategic shift in our operations. Accordingly, the International Businesses are presented herein as discontinued operations. For all periods presented, the operating results associated with the International Businesses have been reclassified into Net income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the assets and liabilities associated with this business have been reflected as current and long-term assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash flows from the Company’s discontinued operations are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all periods presented. The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are presented on a continuing operations basis unless otherwise noted. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on discontinued operations. Changes in Presentation Prior to the European Divestiture, our business operated through two reporting segments: (i) North America, which included our DS Services of America, Inc. (“DSS”), Aquaterra Corporation (“Aquaterra”), Mountain Valley Spring Company (“Mountain Valley”) businesses, and (ii) Europe, which included the European business of Eden Springs Netherlands B.V. (“Eden Europe”), and our Decantae and Fonthill businesses. The Other category included the Israel business of Eden ("Eden Israel"), and our Aimia and Farrers businesses, as well as our corporate oversight function and other miscellaneous expenses. During the fourth quarter of 2023, we reviewed and realigned our reporting segments to exclude the businesses within discontinued operations which reflects how the business will be managed and results will be evaluated by the Chief Executive Officer, who is the Company’s chief operating decision maker. Following such review, our one reporting segment is North America, which includes our DSS, Aquaterra, and Mountain Valley businesses. The Other category includes our corporate oversight function and other miscellaneous expenses. Segment reporting results have been recast to reflect these changes for all periods presented. Significant Accounting Policies Included in Note 1 of the 2023 Annual Report is a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies. Provided below is a summary of additional accounting policies that are significant to the financial results of the Company. Cost of Sales We record costs associated with the manufacturing of our products in cost of sales. Shipping and handling costs incurred to store, prepare and move products between production facilities or from production facilities to branch locations or storage facilities are recorded in Cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Shipping and handling costs incurred to deliver products from our branch locations to the end-user consumer of those products are recorded in Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. All other costs incurred in the shipment of products from our production facilities to customer locations are reflected in Cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Shipping and handling costs included in SG&A expenses for the three months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023 were $121.1 million and $113.3 million, respectively. Finished goods inventory costs include the cost of direct labor and materials and the applicable share of overhead expense chargeable to production. Derivative Financial Instruments We use foreign exchange forward contracts ("foreign exchange contracts") to manage the foreign exchange risk associated with the principal balance of our €450.0 million 3.875% senior notes due October 31, 2028 (the "2028 Notes"). Foreign exchange forward contracts are agreements to buy or sell a quantity of a currency at a predetermined future date, and at a predetermined rate or price. All derivative instruments are recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We exclude forward points from our assessment of hedge effectiveness and amortize them on a straight-line basis over the life of the derivative financial instruments in Other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The difference between fair value changes of the excluded component and the amount amortized to Other income, net is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCI") on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We manage credit risk related to the derivative financial instruments by requiring high credit standards for our counterparties. Refer to Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our derivative financial instruments. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. As of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, cash and cash equivalents were maintained at major financial institutions in the United States, and current deposits are in excess of insured limits. The Company believes these institutions have sufficient assets and liquidity to conduct their operations in the ordinary course of business with little or no credit risk to the Company. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
