Consolidated Results

Univar Solutions reported net sales of $2.0 billion, a decrease of 22.3 percent on a reported basis and 20.6 percent on a constant currency basis(1) compared to the prior year second quarter. Lower sales were driven by lower demand in the global industrial end markets, a reduction in sales due to the Environmental Sciences divestiture, and price deflation affecting certain products, partially offset by higher demand for products in essential end markets(2).

Gross profit (exclusive of depreciation) of $489.1 million decreased 15.3 percent on a reported basis and 13.5  percent on a constant currency basis driven primarily by lower demand in the global industrial end markets, the Environmental Sciences divestiture, and price deflation affecting certain products, partially offset by higher demand for products in essential end markets(2). Gross margin expanded by 200 basis points to 24.3 percent compared to the prior year second quarter, driven primarily by favorable product and end market mix.

Univar Solutions reported net income of $1.8 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to net income of $16.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the prior year second quarter. The decrease was primarily due to factors affecting lower gross profit (exclusive of depreciation), impairment charges related to non- strategic assets, and the fair value adjustment on warrants assumed in connection with the February 2019 Nexeo Solutions, Inc ("Nexeo") acquisition, partially offset by lower warehousing, selling and administrative expenses (WS&A) as a result of cost reduction measures and lower integration related expenses as well as stock-based compensation.

Adjusted earnings per diluted share(1) of $0.33 in the quarter decreased from $0.42 in the prior year second quarter. Lower adjusted EBITDA more than offset lower interest expense and stock-based compensation.

Adjusted EBITDA of $163.2 million decreased $37.9 million, or 18.8 percent, compared to the prior year second quarter, or a decrease of 16.6 percent on a constant currency basis. The decrease was primarily due to lower demand in the global industrial end markets, the Environmental Sciences divestiture, and price deflation affecting certain product margins, partially offset by favorable product mix, cost reduction measures, and the realization of Nexeo net synergies.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $151.7 million from a use of $57.0 million in the second quarter last year, primarily driven by lower net working capital, reflecting the countercyclical cash flow nature of our business model, partially offset by lower net income. Further, the prior year second quarter included the payment of an anomalous legal settlement.

The Company's leverage ratio(1) at June 30, 2020 was 3.6x compared to 4.1x in the prior year second quarter.

2020 Actions & Outlook

As previously disclosed, the Company withdrew its full year Adjusted EBITDA guidance due to the evolving and dynamic implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on the macro environment as well as the Company's business.

In response to the challenging and uncertain economic environment, the Company is continuing to actively manage its expense base and seeking to realize cost reductions in an effort to maintain Univar Solutions' financial strength while continuing to serve its suppliers and customers' needs.

These savings represent in aggregate over $40 million in anticipated cost reductions for 2020, which are incremental to the net synergies expected from the Nexeo acquisition of $35 million. The Company expects to achieve the targeted $120 million in annual Nexeo net synergies by early 2022.

Streamline 2022

The Company separately announced today its new Streamline 2022 Program, which may result in the sale of certain non-core assets, and is expected to improve operational agility, drive faster sales growth, particularly in North America, reduce leverage to 3.0x by the end of 2021 and improve EBITDA margins to 9% by the end of 2022.

Liquidity

The Company is forecasting liquidity of approximately $750-$800 million in cash and available lines of credit at year end. The Company has increased its operating cash flow expectations for 2020 and expects $100 million of available cash for debt paydown at year end, excluding the effect of divestments or acquisitions. The Company has no significant debt maturities until 2024 and is in full compliance with its credit agreements.

The Company will continue to optimize its working capital efficiency, maintain financial flexibility and consider further reductions in capital expenditures to preserve cash flow to the extent required.

Univar Solutions to Host Webcast on August 7, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. ET

The Company will host a webcast with investors to discuss 2020 second quarter results at 9:00 a.m. ET on August 7, 2020, which can be accessed on the Investor Relations section of its website at http://investors.univarsolutions.com. After the live webcast, a replay of the webcast will be available on the same website.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

In this press release, the Company's financial results are provided both in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and using certain non-GAAP financial measures. In particular, the Company presents the non-GAAP financial measures of gross profit (exclusive of depreciation), adjusted gross profit (exclusive of depreciation), gross margin (defined as gross profit (exclusive of depreciation) divided by net sales on a consolidated level and by external sales on a segment level), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales on a consolidated level and by external sales on a segment level, Adjusted net income, Adjusted earnings per diluted share, leverage ratio and constant currency. The non-GAAP financial measures are included as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP because management believes these non-GAAP financial measures help investors' ability to analyze underlying trends in the Company's business, evaluate its performance relative to other companies in its industry and provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the Company's core operating results. Additionally, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA in setting performance incentive targets to align management compensation with operational performance.

The Company evaluates its results of operations on both an as reported and a constant currency basis. The constant currency presentation is a non-GAAP financial measure, which excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company believes providing information on a constant currency basis provides valuable supplemental information regarding its results of operations, consistent with how it evaluates its performance. The Company calculates constant currency percentages by converting its financial results in local currency for a period using the average exchange rate for the prior period to which it is comparing.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, gross profit (exclusive of depreciation), adjusted gross profit (exclusive of depreciation), gross margin, Adjusted net income, Adjusted earnings per diluted share, leverage ratio and constant currency are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for net income or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA and other such metrics differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. For further information related to the Company's use of non-GAAP financial measures, and the reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, see the schedules attached hereto.

(1)

The quarter-to-date period is calculated so the sum of quarterly amounts equals the year-to-date period. Immaterial differences may exist due to rounding.

(2)

Diluted and adjusted diluted earnings per share is calculated using net income (loss) or adjusted net income available to common shareholders divided by diluted and adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding during each period, respectively, which includes unvested restricted shares. Diluted earnings per share considers the impact of potential dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. Adjusted earnings per diluted share is based on the GAAP dilutive share count, except where adjustments to GAAP net loss result in an adjusted net income position.

(3)

Reconciling items represent items disclosed on Schedule D included in this document, excluding stock-based compensation and non-operating retirement benefits.

(4)

Immaterial differences may exist in the calculation of per share amounts due to rounding.

(5)

Tax on reconciling items is calculated as the difference between the tax provisions on US GAAP pre-tax earnings and Adjusted pre-tax earnings utilizing the appropriate tax rates and laws of each jurisdiction.

(6)

Discrete tax items primarily relate to impairment charges and tax law changes in the current year and the Nexeo Plastics sale in the prior year.
