SEE (NYSE: SEE) announced financial results for Q3 2022.

“We delivered an 8% increase in Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter, despite continued cost inflation, foreign currency headwinds and slowing demand. Our SEE Operating Engine is powering through these challenging times.

We are creating value for our customers through Automation, Digital and Sustainable solutions. We are making bold investments in people, technology and our business, as we accelerate SEE's journey to world-class performance," said Ted Doheny, SEE’s President and CEO.

Unless otherwise stated, all results compare third quarter 2022 to third quarter 2021 results from continuing operations. Year-over-year financial discussions present operating results from continuing operations as reported. Year-over-year comparisons are also made on an organic basis and constant dollar basis, which are non-U.S. GAAP measures. Organic refers to changes in unit volume and price performance and excludes acquisitions in the first year after closing, divestiture activity and the impact of currency translation. Constant dollar refers to changes in net sales and earnings, excluding the impact of currency translation. Additionally, non-U.S. GAAP adjusted financial measures, such as Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), Adjusted Net Earnings, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share ("Adjusted EPS") and Adjusted Tax Rate, exclude the impact of specified items ("Special Items"), such as restructuring charges, restructuring associated costs, adjustments in the valuation of our "SEE Ventures" portfolio (which may include debt, equity method, or equity investments), gains and losses related to acquisition and divestiture of businesses, special tax items ("Tax Special Items") and certain infrequent or one-time items. Please refer to the supplemental information included with this press release for a reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures.

Business Segment Highlights

Third quarter net sales in Food were $830 million, an increase of 4% as reported. Currency fluctuations had an unfavorable impact of $42 million, or 5%. On a constant dollar basis, net sales increased $74 million, or 9%. Price realization had a favorable impact of 13%, with increases across all regions in response to the current inflationary environment. Volumes decreased by 4%, driven by food retail market declines across the Americas and EMEA regions and the adverse impact from prior supply disruptions. Adjusted EBITDA of $185 million, or 22.3% of net sales, increased 9% from $169 million, or 21.2% of net sales. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to favorable net price realization and productivity improvements, partially offset by lower volumes.

Third quarter net sales in Protective were $571 million, a decrease of 6% as reported. Currency fluctuations had an unfavorable impact of $29 million, or 5%, while the divestiture of Reflectix, Inc. had an unfavorable impact of $12 million, or 2%. On an organic basis, net sales increased $2 million, with price realization having a favorable impact of $76 million, or 12%, with increases realized across all regions in response to the current inflationary environment. Volumes decreased $74 million, or 12%, resulting from recessionary pressures in the industrial and fulfillment markets. Adjusted EBITDA increased 7% to $109 million, or 19.2% of net sales, as compared to $103 million, or 16.9% of net sales. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to favorable net price realization, partially offset by lower volumes.

Third Quarter 2022 U.S. GAAP Summary

Net sales of $1.4 billion were essentially flat as reported, with the Americas increasing 3%, EMEA decreasing 6%, and APAC decreasing 5%.

Net earnings were $133 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, as compared to net earnings of $108 million, or $0.71 per diluted share. The prior year results were unfavorably impacted by a $15 million pre-tax loss on debt redemption, partially offset by a $7 million pre-tax gain on an equity investment.

Income tax expense was $51 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 27.9% in third quarter 2022. This compares to an income tax expense of $47 million in the prior year, or an effective tax rate of 30.2%.

Third Quarter 2022 Non-U.S. GAAP Summary

Net sales increased $64 million, or 5%, on a constant dollar basis. Price realization had a favorable impact of $176 million, or 13%, while volumes decreased by $102 million, or 7%. Constant dollar net sales were higher across all regions, with EMEA increasing 7%, APAC increasing 5%, and the Americas increasing 4%. Currency fluctuations had an unfavorable impact of $71 million, or 5%.

Adjusted EBITDA was $293 million, or 20.9% of net sales, as compared to $271 million, or 19.2%. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA margin was largely due to favorable net price realization, partially offset by lower volumes. Currency fluctuations had an unfavorable impact of $10 million, or 4%, in third quarter 2022.

The Adjusted Tax Rate was 25.6% in third quarter 2022, as compared to 24.9% in the prior year.

Adjusted earnings per diluted share increased to $0.98, from $0.86, primarily due to Adjusted EBITDA growth. Currency fluctuations had an unfavorable impact of $0.04, or 5%, in third quarter 2022.

Cash Flow and Net Debt

Cash flow provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2022 was a source of $321 million, as compared to a source of $378 million during the prior year period.

Capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2022 were $184 million, as compared to $155 million during the prior year period, to support growth initiatives. Free Cash Flow, defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, was a source of $137 million for the first nine months of 2022, as compared to a source of $223 million during the prior year period, primarily due to unfavorable working capital.

During the first nine months of 2022, the Company repurchased 4.5 million shares, valued at $280 million (average of approximately $62 per share), and paid cash dividends of approximately $90 million.

Total debt was $3.6 billion as of September 30, 2022 and $3.7 billion as of December 31, 2021. Net Debt, defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents, was $3.4 billion as of September 30, 2022, as compared to $3.1 billion as of December 31, 2021. As of September 30, 2022, SEE had approximately $1.4 billion of available liquidity comprised of $249 million of cash and $1.12 billion available under our committed credit facilities.

Updated 2022 Full Year Outlook

For the full year 2022, SEE now expects net sales to be in the range of $5.65 to $5.75 billion, compared to the previous outlook in the range of $5.85 to $6.05 billion and Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $1.21 to $1.23 billion, compared to the previous outlook in the range of $1.22 to $1.25 billion.

The Company forecasts full year Adjusted EPS to be in the range of $4.05 to $4.15, which is based on approximately 147 million shares outstanding and an Adjusted Tax Rate of approximately 25.5%. The previous Adjusted EPS range was $4.05 to $4.20, which was based on approximately 148 million shares outstanding and an Adjusted Tax Rate of 26%.

The Company now expects full year Free Cash Flow in 2022 to be in the range of $460 to $500 million, compared to the previous outlook in the range of $510 to $550 million.

Website Information

We routinely post important information for investors on our website, sealedair.com, in the Investors section. We use this website as a means of disclosing material, non-public information and for complying with our disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. Accordingly, investors should monitor the Investors section of our website, in addition to following our press releases, SEC filings, public conference calls, presentations and webcasts. The information contained on, or that may be accessed through, our website is not incorporated by reference into, and is not a part of, this document.

Non-U.S. GAAP Information

In this press release and supplement, we have included several non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, including Net Debt, Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted EPS, net sales on an "organic" and a “constant dollar” basis, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Tax Rate, as our management believes these measures are useful to investors. We present results and guidance, adjusted to exclude the effects of Special Items and their related tax impact that would otherwise be included under U.S. GAAP, to aid in comparisons with other periods or prior guidance. In addition, non-U.S. GAAP measures are used by management to review and analyze our operating performance and, along with other data, as internal measures for setting annual budgets and forecasts, assessing financial performance, providing guidance and comparing our financial performance with our peers and may also be used for purposes of determining incentive compensation. The non-U.S. GAAP information has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP information. It does not purport to represent any similarly titled U.S. GAAP information and is not an indicator of our performance under U.S. GAAP. Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures that we present may not be comparable with similarly titled measures used by others. Investors are cautioned against placing undue reliance on these non-U.S. GAAP measures. For a reconciliation of these U.S. GAAP measures to non-U.S. GAAP measures and other important information on our use of non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, see the attached supplementary information entitled “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows” (under the section entitled “Non-U.S. GAAP Free Cash Flow”), “Reconciliation of Net Earnings and Net Earnings Per Common Share to Non-U.S. GAAP Adjusted Net Earnings and Non-U.S. GAAP Adjusted Net Earnings Per Common Share,” “Reconciliation of Net Earnings to Non-U.S. GAAP Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA,” “Components of Change in Net Sales by Segment” and “Components of Change in Net Sales by Region.” Information reconciling forward-looking U.S. GAAP measures to non-U.S. GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort.

We have not provided guidance for the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, as they are not available without unreasonable effort due to the high variability, complexity, and low visibility with respect to certain Special Items, including restructuring charges, adjustments in the valuation of our "SEE Ventures" portfolio (which may include debt, equity method, or equity investments), gains and losses related to acquisition and divestiture of businesses, the ultimate outcome of certain legal or tax proceedings, and other unusual gains and losses. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to our results computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 concerning our business, consolidated financial condition and results of operations. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside our control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from these statements.

Restructuring associated costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 primarily relate to fees paid to third-party consultants in support of the Reinvent SEE business transformation. The nine months ended September 30, 2022 also includes site consolidation costs and the nine months ended September 30, 2021 also includes a one-time, non-cash cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) loss recognized due to the wind-up of one of our legal entities.

(ii)

Other Special Items for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 relate to fees paid for professional services, including legal fees, directly associated with Special Items of events that are considered one-time or infrequent in nature. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the professional fees are partially offset by a one-time gain on the disposal of land in the UK.

_____________

(1)

Our volume reported above includes the net impact of changes in unit volume as well as the period-to-period change in the mix of products sold.

(2)

Total organic change is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure which excludes acquisitions within the first twelve months after acquisition, divestiture activity from the time of the sale, and the impact of foreign currency translation. Total constant dollar change is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure which excludes the impact of foreign currency translation. Since we are a U.S. domiciled company, we translate our foreign currency denominated financial results into U.S. dollars. Due to changes in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, translating our financial results from foreign currencies to U.S. dollars may result in a favorable or unfavorable impact. It is important that we take into account the effects of foreign currency translation when we view our results and plan our strategies. Nonetheless, we cannot control changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Consequently, when our management looks at our financial results to measure the core performance of our business, we exclude the impact of foreign currency translation by translating our current period results at prior period foreign currency exchange rates. We also may exclude the impact of foreign currency translation when making incentive compensation determinations. As a result, our management believes that these presentations are useful internally and may be useful to our investors.
