Ranpak Holdings Corp. Reports Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results

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 second quarter 2021 financial results.

Omar Asali, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Ranpak delivered an outstanding second quarter, with very strong net revenue and profitability growth. Net revenue for the quarter increased 29.1% year over year on a constant currency basis to $87.5 million, driven by broad-based strength across the globe with both North America and Europe/APAC meaningfully contributing to the top-line outperformance. We experienced robust demand for all protective packaging products fueled by continued elevated e-Commerce activity, improving industrial activity, and a growing focus on sustainability contributing to new business wins globally. This strong top-line growth was surpassed by our growth in profitability as Adjusted EBITDA increased 34.7% on a constant currency basis to $25.6 million. Activity levels in a variety of end markets are driving growth, with strong momentum in the business as organizations worldwide seek to make their supply chains more efficient and more environmentally friendly."

"On a year-to-date basis, net revenue is up 30.1% in constant currency. Given the increased demand for our products and underlying strength in the end markets, we expect to continue to deliver strong growth in 2021 surpassing our expectations from the start of the year and expect to finish with a record year at Ranpak, despite having second half comparisons that are more challenging given our robust 2020 performance. Our team is adeptly maneuvering through this dynamic market and working extremely hard to serve our customers. I am extremely proud of the phenomenal effort."

"As we look further ahead, Ranpak is uniquely positioned to benefit from several key trends that have been accelerated by COVID-19: e-Commerce taking share from brick and mortar, increased Automation adoption, and an increased awareness by the consumer on the amount of plastic and foam in supply chains. We are seizing this opportunity by investing in innovation, capacity, and resources to help the team execute to achieve our substantial growth ambitions."

Net revenue was positively impacted by increases in cushioning, void-fill, wrapping, and other sales.

The increase in net revenue was a result of an increase in the volume of our paper consumable products of approximately 32.0 percentage points ("pp"), partially offset by a 3.0 pp decrease in the price of our paper consumable products.

Net revenue in North America for the three months ended June 30, 2021 totaled $35.7 million. Net revenue in North America was $28.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Net revenue in Europe/Asia increased $16.4 million or 43.3% driven primarily by increases in cushioning, void-fill and wrapping product categories, partially offset by a decline in automation revenue. Constant currency net revenue in Europe/Asia was $51.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, a $12.2 million, or 30.8%, increase from constant currency net revenue of $39.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Non-GAAP Financial Data

In this press release, we present Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") and adjusted EBITDA ("AEBITDA"), each on a constant currency basis, which are non-GAAP financial measures. We have included EBITDA and AEBITDA on a constant currency basis 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 AEBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our primary business operations. Adjusting these non-GAAP measures for comparability for constant currency also assists in this comparison as allows a better insight into the performance of our businesses that operate in currencies other than our reporting currency. Before consolidation, our Europe/Asia data is derived in Euros. We multiply this Euro-derived data by 1.15 to reflect an exchange rate of 1 Euro to 1.15 U.S. dollars ("USD"), which we believe is a reasonable figure to use to give a stable depiction of the business without currency fluctuations, to calculate Europe/Asia data in constant currency USD. We combine the constant currency USD data for Europe/Asia with the USD North America data to create combined constant currency figures and adjust our non-GAAP figures by the respective amounts. In sum, we believe that constant currency EBITDA and AEBITDA provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the Company's operating results in the same manner as our management and Board of Directors.

However, EBITDA and AEBITDA 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 AEBITDA 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:

• 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 AEBITDA do not reflect all cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
• EBITDA and AEBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
• AEBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of equity-based compensation;
• EBITDA and AEBITDA 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;
• AEBITDA does not take into account any restructuring and integration costs; and
• other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate EBITDA and AEBITDA differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.

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

AEBITDA ? AEBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we present on a constant currency basis and we calculate as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude: benefit from (provision for) income taxes; interest expense; depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation expense; and, in certain periods, certain other income and expense items.

In addition, we include certain other unaudited, non-GAAP constant currency data for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. This data is based on our historical financial statements, adjusted (where applicable) to reflect a constant currency presentation between periods for the convenience of readers. We reconcile this data to our GAAP data for the same period for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
