Sealed Air Reports Q1 2020 Results

Sealed Air Corporation (NYSE: SEE) today announced financial results for the first quarter 2020.

“Our purpose ‘to protect, to solve critical packaging challenges, and to leave our world better than we found it’ is more powerful now than ever as we navigate through the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our teams have taken preemptive measures to keep people out of harm’s way and enable business continuity. We have been rapidly responding to the surge in demand for essential goods such as packaged foods for retail, consumer staples and medical supplies, while managing the slowdown in food services and industrial manufacturing.

Our first quarter results reflect our teams’ agility to respond to the unprecedented circumstances and the continued execution of our strategy. These efforts led to a strong first quarter with net sales increasing 6% and Adjusted EBITDA increasing 17%, compared to the first quarter of 2019,” said Ted Doheny, Sealed Air’s President and CEO.

“Given the uncertainty in the markets we serve, we are suspending our full year 2020 guidance. Our focus is on zero harm, business continuity and leveraging our Reinvent SEE transformation to ensure we emerge from this crisis as a better and stronger company. We are prioritizing investments to maximize cash flow and maintain a healthy balance sheet. Our capabilities and business model coupled with our strong liquidity will enable us to effectively manage through the changing environment.

I am confident that our strategy to advance automation in support of a more touchless and digital world will create value. This will enhance our ability to deliver on our core competencies of maximizing food safety, minimizing food waste and protecting valuable goods,” continued Doheny.

Unless otherwise stated, all results compare first quarter 2020 to first quarter 2019 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 or 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, 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 Highlights

Food Care first quarter net sales of $690 million increased 2% as reported. Currency negatively impacted Food Care sales by $25 million, or approximately 4%. On a constant dollar basis, net sales increased $35 million, or approximately 5%. Volume was up $31 million, primarily due to increased demand for protein packaging at the retail level due to COVID-19. Adjusted EBITDA grew 9% to $156 million, or 22.6% of net sales, up 160 basis points compared to the prior year. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to higher volume, favorable price/cost spread and Reinvent SEE initiatives, which included productivity improvements and restructuring savings, and was partially offset by inflationary cost increases and unfavorable foreign currency translation.

Product Care first quarter net sales of $484 million increased 12% as reported. Currency negatively impacted Product Care sales by $5 million, or 1%. On a constant dollar basis, net sales increased $56 million, or 13%. Automated Packaging Systems sales contributed $69 million. Organic volume declined $10 million due to deteriorating global industrial manufacturing, partially offset by an increase in e-commerce demand for consumer staples and medical supplies, both of which were driven by COVID-19. Adjusted EBITDA was $93 million, or 19.2% of sales, compared to $75 million, or 17.3% of sales, in the prior year. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to contributions from Automated Packaging Systems and Reinvent SEE initiatives, which included productivity improvements and restructuring savings.

COVID-19 Update: Business Continuity and Health and Safety

Sealed Air is an essential manufacturer of packaging solutions for food, consumer, industrial and medical applications. Employees within “Food and Agriculture” and “Transportation and Logistics,” including their respective supply chains, such as packaging material providers, have been deemed “Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers” by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and similarly by other international governmental agencies. These designations cover the majority of Sealed Air employees. Sealed Air’s global operations continue to operate and serve customers’ critical needs.

The health and safety of Sealed Air’s global employees, suppliers and customers are the Company’s top priority. Safety measures that have been implemented at Sealed Air sites include: enhanced cleaning procedures, employee temperature checks, use of personal protective equipment for location dependent workers, social distancing measures within operating sites, remote work arrangements for non-location dependent employees, visitor access restrictions and significant limitations on travel.

Our non-location dependent employees will continue remote work arrangements until it has been deemed appropriate to return to office facilities based on direction from local and federal governments, as well as our Company and regional leadership teams. Enhanced employee safety and other precautionary measures which have been implemented across the Company will continue into the future as appropriate.

First Quarter 2020 U.S. GAAP Summary

Net sales of $1.2 billion increased 5.5% as reported. Currency had a negative impact on total net sales of $30 million or approximately 3%.

Net earnings were $115 million, or $0.74 per diluted share. Special Items had an immaterial impact on net earnings in the quarter. This compares to net earnings in the first quarter 2019 of $64 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, which was unfavorably impacted by $28 million of Special Items. The effective tax rate in the first quarter 2020 was 22.2%, compared to 32.1% in the first quarter 2019. The first quarter 2020 effective tax rate was favorably impacted by the resolution of specific uncertain tax positions associated with a U.S. IRS audit.

First Quarter 2020 Non-U.S. GAAP Summary

Net sales increased 8% on a constant dollar basis reflecting contributions from recent acquisitions of $75 million or approximately 7% and organic growth of 1.5%. Organic volume increased $22 million, or 2%, partially offset by unfavorable price of $5 million, or less than 1%. By region, organic volume increased 7% in South America, 3% in North America and 1% in EMEA. APAC volumes were down 2%.

Adjusted EBITDA was $253 million, or 21.6% of net sales in the first quarter 2020 compared to $216 million, or 19.4% in 2019. Currency fluctuations had an unfavorable $7 million, or 3%, impact on Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter 2020. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to Reinvent SEE initiatives, contributions from acquisitions, higher volume and favorable price/cost spread, partially offset by inflationary cost increases and unfavorable foreign currency translation.

Adjusted earnings per diluted share was $0.73 for the first quarter 2020 compared to $0.59 in the first quarter 2019, due to higher adjusted earnings and a lower Adjusted Tax Rate. The Adjusted Tax Rate was 27.9% in the first quarter 2020, compared to 29.5% in the first quarter 2019.

Cash Flow and Net Debt

Cash flow provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was an inflow of $41 million, compared to an inflow of $65 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Capital expenditures were $49 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. Free Cash Flow, defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures was an outflow of $8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to an inflow of $16 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019. Free cash flow is typically lower in the first quarter reflecting seasonality of sales and working capital and the timing of certain annual incentive compensation and customer volume rebate payments. Despite higher Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow in the quarter declined $24 million versus the prior year primarily due to higher incentive compensation payments and a higher quarter end accounts receivable balance due to increased sales in March related to COVID-19 demand across many of our end markets.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company paid cash dividends of $26 million.

Net Debt, defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents, was $3.6 billion as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2020 Sealed Air had approximately $1.2 billion of liquidity available, comprised of $275 million of cash, an undrawn committed credit facility of $918 million and amounts available under our accounts receivable securitization program of $50 million. The Company does not have any debt maturities until August 2022.

Website Information

We routinely post important information for investors on our website, www.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 Total Company 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, 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.

Total organic change is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure which excludes acquisition and divestiture activity 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 consider 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.
