fluctuations, including increases, in raw material, energy and freight costs;
labor shortages and increased labor costs;
the current macroeconomic environment with high levels of inflation, high interest rates and global supply chain challenges;
our ability to meet demand for our products;
the uncertain economic, operational and financial impacts of the coronavirus pandemic;
failure to maintain satisfactory relationships with our major customers;
our dependence on suppliers of raw materials and any interruption to our supply of raw materials;
the impact of natural disasters, public health crises and catastrophic events outside of our control;
our ability to realize the benefits of our capital investment, acquisitions, restructuring and other cost savings programs;
our safety performance;
uncertain global economic conditions;
competition in the markets in which we operate;
changes in consumer lifestyle, eating habits, nutritional preferences and health-related, environmental and sustainability concerns;
the impact of our significant debt on our financial condition and ability to operate our business;
changes in market interest rates, or a phase-out or replacement of LIBOR as an interest rate benchmark;
compliance with, and liabilities related to, applicable laws and regulations;
the ownership of a majority of the voting power of our common stock by our parent company Packaging Finance Limited, which we refer to as PFL, an entity owned by Mr. Graeme Hart; and
our ability to establish independent financial, administrative and other support functions.

Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. We are under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this report to conform our prior statements to actual results or revised expectations.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the accounts of Pactiv Evergreen Inc. (“PTVE”) and its subsidiaries (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on February 24, 2022. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Although our current estimates contemplate current conditions and how we expect them to change in the future, as appropriate, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could differ from what was anticipated in those estimates, which could materially affect our results of operations, balance sheet and cash flows. Among other effects, such changes could result in future impairments of goodwill, intangibles and long-lived assets, and adjustments to reserves for employee benefits and income taxes. The estimated recoverable amounts associated with asset impairments represent Level 3 measurements in the fair value hierarchy, which include inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic has had, and may continue to have, a significant impact on our results of operations, and it may also have additional far-reaching impacts on many aspects of our operations including the impact on customer behaviors, business and manufacturing operations, our employees and the market in general. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and liquidity may differ from management’s current estimates due to inherent uncertainties regarding the progress of the pandemic, actions taken to contain the virus, the implementation and effectiveness of vaccinations and how quickly and to what extent economic and operating conditions evolve.

Accounting Guidance Issued but Not Yet Adopted as of September 30, 2022

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Under current GAAP, an acquirer generally recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, including contract assets and contract liabilities arising from revenue contracts with customers, at fair value on the acquisition date. This ASU will result in the acquirer recording acquired contract assets and liabilities on the same basis that would have been recorded by the acquiree before the acquisition under ASC 606. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted, including in interim periods, for any financial statements that have not yet been issued. This ASU should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. While the impact of this ASU is dependent on the nature of any future transactions, we currently do not expect this ASU to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (Topic 848). This ASU provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. This ASU is effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through the end of calendar year 2022. While we currently do not expect this new guidance to have a significant

impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures, we continue to evaluate our contracts and the optional expedients and exceptions provided under the new standard.

We reviewed all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they were either not applicable or not expected to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Acquisitions and Dispositions

Acquisitions

On October 1, 2021, we acquired 100% of the outstanding ownership interests of Fabri-Kal LLC, Monarch Mill Pond LLC and Pure Pulp Products LLC (collectively, “Fabri-Kal”) for a purchase price of $378 million, including final adjustments for cash, indebtedness and working capital of $2 million which was paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Fabri-Kal is a U.S. manufacturer of thermoformed plastic packaging products. Its products include portion cups, lids, clamshells, drink cups and yogurt containers for the institutional foodservice and consumer packaged goods markets. The acquisition includes four manufacturing facilities in the U.S. The acquisition broadened our portfolio of sustainable packaging products and expanded our manufacturing capacity to better serve our customers. The acquisition was funded with our existing cash resources and a portion of the U.S. term loans Tranche B-3 incurred in September 2021.

The Fabri-Kal acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and the results of operations were included in our condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Included in our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) are Fabri-Kal’s net revenues of $114 million and $337 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

The following table summarizes the final purchase price allocation of the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

We allocated finite-lived intangible assets acquired to the Foodservice segment which included $56 million of customer relationships with an estimated life of eight years and $34 million of trademarks with an estimated life of ten years. We increased the cost of acquired inventories by $12 million, all of which was expensed as a component of cost of sales during the year ended December 31, 2021. We allocated $69 million of goodwill to the Foodservice segment, of which $41 million is expected to be tax deductible. Goodwill arises principally as a result of expansion opportunities provided by Fabri-Kal’s manufacturing capacity to better serve our customers, in addition to plant operational synergies. The purchase price allocation in the table above is based on our final valuation analysis and reflects measurement period adjustments we recorded during the

(Unaudited)

 

nine months ended September 30, 2022 which increased goodwill by $3 million. These adjustments related to reductions in inventories, property, plant and equipment and accrued and other current liabilities, and the related deferred tax effects. None of these adjustments were individually significant.

Real property and personal property fair values were determined using the cost approach. The fair values for customer relationships at the acquisition date were determined using the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach. Significant assumptions used in assessing the fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset were forecasted Adjusted EBITDA margins and contributory asset charges. Trademark fair values were determined using the relief from royalty method. The fair value measurements of intangible assets are based on significant unobservable inputs and thus represent Level 3 inputs.

Dispositions

Beverage Merchandising Asia

During the fourth quarter of 2021, we committed to a plan to sell our carton packaging and filling machinery businesses in China, Korea and Taiwan (“Beverage Merchandising Asia”) included in the Beverage Merchandising segment. As a result, we classified the assets and liabilities of Beverage Merchandising Asia as held for sale as of December 31, 2021. The operations of Beverage Merchandising Asia did not meet the criteria to be presented as discontinued operations.

On January 4, 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement with SIG Schweizerische Industrie-Gesellschaft GmbH to sell Beverage Merchandising Asia. The transaction closed on August 2, 2022, and we received preliminary proceeds of $336 million, which are subject to adjustments for cash, indebtedness and working capital as of the date of completion. We recognized a preliminary gain on sale of $239 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022, which was reflected in other income, net.

The carrying amounts of the major classes of Beverage Merchandising Asia’s assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2021 comprised the following:

Income from operations before income taxes for Beverage Merchandising Asia for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $2 million, $13 million, $4 million and $15 million, respectively.

Closures Businesses

During the third quarter of 2022, we committed to a plan to sell our remaining closures businesses included in the Other operating segment. As a result, we classified the assets and liabilities of these businesses as held for sale and recognized an impairment charge of $56 million within restructuring, asset impairment and other related charges during the quarter to reduce the carrying value of the disposal group to its fair value less costs to sell. This impairment charge includes $26 million of cumulative currency translation adjustment losses. The operations of the remaining closures businesses did not meet the criteria to be presented as discontinued operations and are expected to be sold within the next twelve months.

Naturepak Beverage

On October 12, 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of our equity interests in Naturepak Beverage Packaging Co. Ltd. (“Naturepak Beverage”), our 50% joint venture with Naturepak Limited, to affiliates of Elopak ASA. As a result, we reclassified the carrying value of our interests in Naturepak Beverage to assets held for sale as of December 31, 2021. The transaction closed on March 29, 2022, and we received preliminary proceeds of $47 million, which are subject to adjustments for cash, indebtedness and working capital as of the date of completion. The transaction resulted in a preliminary gain on the sale of our equity interests of $27 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 which was reflected in other income, net. Our interests in Naturepak Beverage did not meet the criteria to be presented as discontinued operations. The income from operations before income taxes from our equity interests in Naturepak Beverage for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021 was insignificant.

There were no restructuring, asset impairment and other related charges during the three months ended September 30, 2021.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $56 million related to our remaining closures businesses, which is reported within the Other operating segment. Accordingly, the carrying value of the remaining closures businesses was reduced to fair value, as presented in Note 2, Acquisitions and Dispositions. The impairment arose as a result of our decision to sell the remaining closures businesses.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we internally announced the decision to close our El Salvador operations in the Beverage Merchandising segment, which is expected to be completed by December 31, 2022. As a result, we recognized $1 million for contractual termination benefits.

On July 28, 2021, we announced the decision to close our coated groundwood paper production line located in our Pine Bluff, Arkansas mill. On October 31, 2021, we ceased manufacturing coated groundwood paper. As a result of the closure, we recognized $8 million for contractual termination benefits in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. We also recognized $1 million for disassembly costs in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which is incremental to the restructuring, asset impairment and other charges recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

(Unaudited)

 

We were in compliance with all debt covenants during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021.

On September 24, 2021, we incurred $1,015 million of term loans (“U.S. term loans tranche B-3”) and issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (“4.375% Notes”). A portion of the net proceeds from the U.S. term loans Tranche B-3, along with the net proceeds from the 4.375% Notes, was used to repay in full the $1,207 million of existing U.S. term loans Tranche B-1 maturing in February 2023, including accrued interest. The balance of the net proceeds from the U.S. term loans Tranche B-3 was used to partially fund the acquisition of Fabri-Kal. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we repaid the remaining $59 million of the 5.125% senior secured notes at a price of 101.281%. The early repayment of these senior secured notes resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1 million in respect of the premium on redemption, which was recognized in interest expense, net.

(1) The Revolving Tranche represents a $250 million facility. The amount utilized is in the form of letters of credit.

The weighted average contractual interest rates related to our U.S. term loans Tranche B-2 and Tranche B-3 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were 4.47% and 4.79%, respectively. The weighted average contractual interest rates related to our U.S. term loans Tranche B-1, B-2 and B-3 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were 2.86%, 3.36% and 4.00%, respectively. The effective interest rates of our debt obligations under the Credit Agreement are not materially different from the contractual interest rates.

PTVE and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries have guaranteed on a senior basis the obligations under the Credit Agreement to the extent permitted by law. The borrowers and the guarantors have granted security over substantially all of their assets to support the obligations under the Credit Agreement. This security is expected to be shared on a first priority basis with the holders of the Notes.

Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement may be voluntarily repaid, in whole or in part, and must be mandatorily repaid in certain circumstances. We are required to make quarterly amortization payments of 0.25% of the principal amount of U.S. term loans. Additionally, we are required to make annual prepayments of term loans with up to 50% of excess cash flow (which will be reduced to 25% or 0% if specified senior secured first lien leverage ratios are met) as determined in accordance with the Credit Agreement. No excess cash flow prepayments were due in 2021 or are due in 2022 for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants which restrict us from certain activities including, among others, incurring debt, creating liens over assets, selling assets and making restricted payments, in each case except as permitted under the Credit Agreement.

The effective interest rates of our debt obligations under the Notes are not materially different from the contractual interest rates.

PTVE and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries have guaranteed on a senior basis the obligations under the Notes to the extent permitted by law. The issuers and the guarantors have granted security over substantially all of their assets to support the obligations under the Notes. This security is expected to be shared on a first priority basis with the creditors under the Credit Agreement.

The respective indentures governing the 4.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (“4.000% Notes”) and the 4.375% Notes (together with the 4.000% Notes, the “Notes”) contain customary covenants which restrict us from certain activities including, among others, incurring debt, creating liens over assets, selling assets and making restricted payments, in each case except as permitted under the respective indentures governing the Notes.

Under the respective indentures governing the Notes, we can, at our option, elect to redeem the Notes under terms and conditions specified in the indentures. Under the respective indentures governing the Notes, in certain circumstances which would constitute a change in control, the holders of the Notes have the right to require us to repurchase the Notes at a premium.

Pactiv Debentures

As of September 30, 2022, our outstanding debentures (together, the “Pactiv Debentures”) were as follows:

April 15, 2027

 

April 15 and October 15

 

The effective interest rates of our debt obligations under the Pactiv Debentures are not materially different from the contractual interest rates.

The Pactiv Debentures are not guaranteed and are unsecured.

The indentures governing the Pactiv Debentures contain a negative pledge clause limiting the ability of certain of our entities, subject to certain exceptions, to (i) incur or guarantee debt that is secured by liens on “Principal Manufacturing Properties” (as such term is defined in the indentures governing the Pactiv Debentures) or on the capital stock or debt of certain subsidiaries that own or lease any such Principal Manufacturing Property and (ii) sell and then take an immediate lease back of such Principal Manufacturing Property.

The 8.375% Debentures due 2027 may be redeemed at any time at our option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a make-whole premium, if any, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of the redemption.

Other borrowings

Other borrowings represented finance lease obligations of $49 million and $53 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Our derivatives are comprised of commodity swaps. All derivatives represent Level 2 financial assets and liabilities. Our derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the observable market index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount or based on pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as commodity prices. Our calculation of the fair value of these financial instruments takes into consideration the risk of non-performance, including counterparty credit risk. The majority of our derivative contracts do not have a legal right of set-off. We manage credit risk in connection with our derivatives by limiting the amount of exposure with each counterparty and monitoring the financial condition of our counterparties.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized unrealized losses of $10 million, $4 million, $1 million and $5 million, respectively, in cost of sales.

Pension Partial Settlement Transactions

On September 20, 2022, February 24, 2022 and July 21, 2021, using PEPP assets, we purchased non-participating group annuity contracts from insurance companies and transferred $656 million, $1,257 million and $959 million, respectively, of the PEPP’s projected benefit obligations. In each instance, the respective insurance companies have assumed responsibility for pension benefits and annuity administration. These transactions have resulted in the recognition of non-cash, pre-tax settlement gains. Immediately following the pension partial settlement transaction completed on September 20, 2022, the PEPP's gross projected benefit obligations and gross pension plan assets were $935 million and $915 million, respectively.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

We are from time to time party to litigation, legal proceedings and tax examinations arising from our operations. Most of these matters involve allegations of damages against us relating to employment matters, personal injury and commercial or contractual disputes. We are also involved in various administrative and other proceedings relating to environmental matters that arise in the normal course of business, and we may become involved in similar matters in the future. We record estimates for claims and proceedings that constitute a present obligation when it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of such obligation can be made. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of any of these matters with certainty, based on our assessment of the facts and circumstances, we do not believe any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our balance sheet, results of operations or cash flows. However, actual outcomes may differ from those expected and could have a material effect on our balance sheet, results of operations or cash flows in a future period. Except for amounts provided, there were no legal proceedings pending other than those for which we have determined that the possibility of a material outflow is remote.

Legal Proceedings

On April 14, 2021, MP2 Energy LLC (“MP2”) filed a lawsuit against Pactiv LLC (“Pactiv”), one of our indirect subsidiaries, in state court in Montgomery County, Texas. In this lawsuit, MP2 sought to collect approximately $50 million from Pactiv that MP2 claimed that Pactiv owed MP2 under an energy management services agreement (“EMSA”). Pactiv disputed any liability to MP2 and maintained that Pactiv acted reasonably at all times and that the event of Force Majeure excused any obligation Pactiv had to supply the contract quantity under the EMSA and Transaction Confirmation No. 4 or to reimburse MP2 for its cost in contracting for any shortfall in the contract quantity.

On July 20, 2022, the parties entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which, among others, MP2 dismissed its claims with prejudice, Pactiv paid MP2 an insignificant cash payment and the parties entered into new commercial arrangements.

Indemnities

As part of the agreements for the sale of various businesses, we have provided certain warranties and indemnities to the respective purchasers as set out in the respective sale agreements. These warranties and indemnities are subject to various terms and conditions affecting the duration and total amount of the indemnities. Any claims pursuant to these warranties and indemnities, if successful, could have a material effect on our balance sheet, results of operations or cash flows.

Net actuarial gain (loss) relates to the interim remeasurements of the PEPP due to the pension partial settlement transactions completed in September 2022, February 2022 and July 2021. Net actuarial gain arising during the three months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to an increase in the discount rate utilized in measuring plan obligations, reflecting changes in market rates, partially offset by asset returns. Net actuarial loss arising during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to asset returns, partially offset by an increase in the discount rate utilized in measuring plan obligations, reflecting changes in market rates. Net actuarial gain arising during 2021 was primarily due to asset returns and an increase in the discount rate utilized in measuring plan obligations, reflecting changes in market rates. Refer to Note 10, Employee Benefits, for additional details.

Note 14. Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 represent our estimate of the annual effective tax rates expected to be applicable for the respective full fiscal years, adjusted for any discrete events which are recorded in the period that they occur.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized a tax expense of $79 million on income from continuing operations before tax of $254 million. The effective tax rate is primarily due to the tax impacts from the sales of our businesses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized a tax expense of $160 million on income from continuing operations before tax of $452 million. The effective tax rate is primarily due to the inability to recognize a tax benefit on all interest expense and the tax impacts from the sales of our businesses.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized a tax benefit of $13 million on a loss from continuing operations before tax of $11 million. The effective tax rate was driven primarily by a $9 million discrete benefit from the partial release of our valuation allowance for deferred interest deductions that was attributable to the remeasurement of the PEPP as a result of the partial settlement transaction. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized a tax benefit of

20


Pactiv Evergreen Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(In millions, except per share data and unless otherwise indicated)

(Unaudited)

 

$26 million on a loss from continuing operations before tax of $27 million. The effective tax rate was driven primarily by $19 million of discrete benefit adjustments for the partial release of our valuation allowance for deferred interest deductions, which was partially offset by certain nondeductible expenses and the mix of income and losses taxed at varying rates among the jurisdictions in which we operate.

We are under audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other taxing authorities. The IRS is currently auditing our U.S. income tax returns for 2016-2017. As of September 30, 2022, we have not received any proposed adjustments from taxing authorities that would be material. Although the ultimate timing is uncertain, it is reasonably possible that a reduction of up to $10 million of unrecognized tax benefits could occur within the next twelve months due to changes in audit status, settlements of tax assessments and other events.

These charges are for various costs incurred including services provided, financing and other activities under a transition services agreement, an insurance sharing agreement and an investment advisory agreement with Rank Group Limited (“Rank”). All amounts are unsecured, non-interest bearing and settled on normal trade terms.

Note 16. Equity Based Compensation

We established the Pactiv Evergreen Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”) for purposes of granting stock or other equity-based compensation awards to our employees (including our senior management), directors, consultants and advisors. The maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance under our Equity Incentive Plan is 9,079,395 shares.

Equity-based compensation expense of $6 million, $16 million, $3 million and $9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, was recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Restricted Stock Units

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to certain members of management and certain members of our Board of Directors. These RSUs required future service to be provided and vest in annual installments over a period ranging from one to three years beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. During

the vesting period, the RSUs carry dividend-equivalent rights, but the RSUs do not have voting rights. The RSUs and any related dividend-equivalent rights are forfeited in the event the holder is no longer an employee on the vesting date, unless the holder satisfies certain retirement-eligibility criteria. The following table summarizes RSU activity during 2022:

Includes 32 thousand shares reserved for issuance upon the settlement of dividend-equivalent rights carried by the reported RSUs concurrently with the settlement of such RSUs for shares.

Unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs as of September 30, 2022 was $11 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years. The total vest date fair value of shares that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $5 million.

Performance Share Units

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we granted performance share units (“PSUs”) to certain members of management which vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. Based on the achievement of a company performance target during a performance period set by our Compensation Committee, upon vesting, the PSUs are exchanged for a number of shares of common stock equal to the number of PSUs multiplied by a factor between 0% and 200%. We use our stock price on the grant date to estimate the fair value of our PSUs. We adjust the expense based on the likelihood of future achievement of performance metrics. If any of the performance targets are not achieved, the awards are forfeited. During the vesting period, the PSUs carry dividend-equivalent rights, but the PSUs do not have voting rights. The PSUs and any related dividend-equivalent rights are forfeited in the event the holder is no longer an employee on the vesting date, unless the holder satisfies certain retirement-eligibility criteria. The following table summarizes PSU activity during 2022:

The weighted average number of anti-dilutive potential common shares excluded from the calculation above was 0.2 million shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

On November 3, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.10 per share to be paid on December 15, 2022 to shareholders of record as of November 30, 2022.

Note 18. Segment Information

We have three reportable segments: Foodservice, Food Merchandising and Beverage Merchandising. These reportable segments reflect our operating structure and the manner in which our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), who is our President and Chief Executive Officer, assesses information for decision-making purposes.

The key factors used to identify these reportable segments are the organization of our internal operations and the nature of our products. This reflects how our CODM monitors performance, allocates capital and makes strategic and operational decisions. Our reportable segments are described as follows:

Foodservice - Manufactures a broad range of products that enable consumers to eat and drink where they want and when they want with convenience. Foodservice manufactures food containers, drinkware (hot and cold cups and lids), tableware, serviceware and other products which make eating on-the-go more enjoyable and easy to do.

23


Pactiv Evergreen Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(In millions, except per share data and unless otherwise indicated)

(Unaudited)

 

Food Merchandising - Manufactures products that protect and attractively display food while preserving freshness. Food Merchandising products include clear rigid-display containers, containers for prepared and ready-to-eat food, trays for meat and poultry and egg cartons.

Beverage Merchandising - Manufactures cartons for fresh refrigerated beverage products, primarily serving dairy (including plant-based, organic and specialties), juice and other specialty beverage end-markets. Beverage Merchandising manufactures and supplies integrated fresh carton systems, which include printed cartons, spouts and filling machinery. It also produces fiber-based liquid packaging board for its internal requirements and to sell to other fresh beverage carton manufacturers as well as a range of paper-based products which it sells to paper and packaging converters.

Other/Unallocated - In addition to our reportable segments, we have other operating segments that do not meet the threshold for presentation as a reportable segment. These operating segments include the remaining components of our former closures business, which generate revenue from the sale of caps and closures, and are presented as “Other”. As of September 30, 2022, we expect to dispose of all of the remaining components of our former closures business within the next twelve months. Unallocated includes corporate costs, primarily relating to general and administrative functions such as finance, tax and legal and the effects of the PEPP and equity based compensation.

Information by Segment

We present reportable segment Adjusted EBITDA as this is the financial measure by which management allocates resources and analyzes the performance of our reportable segments.

A segment’s Adjusted EBITDA represents its earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization and is further adjusted to exclude certain items, including but not limited to, restructuring, asset impairment and other related charges, gains or losses on the sale of businesses and noncurrent assets, non-cash pension income or expense, operational process engineering-related consultancy costs, business acquisition and integration costs and purchase accounting adjustments, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives, foreign exchange gains or losses on cash, executive transition charges and gains or losses on certain legal settlements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Our discussion and analysis is intended to help the reader understand our results of operations and financial condition and is provided as an addition to, and should be read in connection with, our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Our Company

We are a leading manufacturer and distributor of fresh foodservice and food merchandising products and fresh beverage cartons in North America. We produce a broad range of on-trend and feature-rich products that protect, package and display food and beverages for today’s consumers. Our products include containers, drinkware (such as hot and cold cups and lids), cartons for fresh refrigerated beverage products, tableware, meat and poultry trays, paper products, liquid packaging board, serviceware, prepared food trays and egg cartons. Our products, many of which are made with recycled, recyclable or renewable materials, are sold to a diversified mix of customers, including restaurants, foodservice distributors, retailers, food and beverage producers, packers and processors. We report our business in three reportable segments: Foodservice, Food Merchandising and Beverage Merchandising. Refer to Note 18, Segment Information, for additional details.

Business Environment

During 2022, we experienced meaningful input cost inflation, including higher raw material and labor costs. Our pricing strategy across all of our segments, including contractual pass-through mechanisms and other pricing actions, has mitigated certain of these inflationary pressures. These pressures may also impact our customers’ purchasing decisions and order patterns throughout the remainder of 2022 and into 2023, as well as consumer mobility and discretionary spending. Additionally, while labor availability has improved during the year, a tight labor market has continued to challenge our business and our operations. Despite these headwinds, we have seen strong customer retention while renewing our focus on manufacturing productivity across all of our segments.

While strong demand for labor domestically continues to support consumer spending in the face of inflationary pressures, rising interest rates and the resulting volatility within the capital markets have created additional uncertainty with respect to the economic outlook. If economic conditions were to deteriorate, a decline in consumer spending may result, which could lead to a meaningful decline in demand for our products into 2023 and beyond.

Fabri-Kal Acquisition

On October 1, 2021, we acquired 100% of the outstanding ownership interests of Fabri-Kal for a purchase price of $378 million, including final adjustments for cash, indebtedness and working capital of $2 million paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Fabri-Kal is a U.S. manufacturer of thermoformed plastic packaging products. Its products include portion cups, lids, clamshells, drink cups and yogurt containers for the institutional foodservice and consumer packaged goods markets. The acquisition includes four manufacturing facilities in the U.S. The acquisition broadened our portfolio of sustainable packaging products and expanded our manufacturing capacity to better serve our customers. The acquisition was funded with our existing cash resources and a portion of the U.S. term loans Tranche B-3 incurred in September 2021.

Dispositions and Exit Activities

Over recent periods, we made strategic decisions to focus on our core, business-to-business North American foodservice, food merchandising and beverage merchandising operations. Accordingly, we divested or exited certain of our non-core businesses which enables us to focus on our strategic core competencies.

On January 4, 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement with SIG Schweizerische Industrie-Gesellschaft GmbH to sell Beverage Merchandising Asia. The transaction closed on August 2, 2022, and we received preliminary proceeds of $336 million, which are subject to adjustments for cash, indebtedness and working capital as of the date of completion. We recognized a preliminary gain on sale of $239 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022. Sales of liquid packaging board to our former Beverage Merchandising Asia operations, which were previously eliminated in consolidation, are recorded as external net revenues subsequent to the transaction’s completion.

In September 2022, we committed to a plan to sell our remaining closures businesses. As a result, we classified the assets and liabilities of these businesses as held for sale and recognized a pre-tax charge to earnings of $56 million within restructuring, asset impairment and other related charges during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

On October 12, 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of our equity interests in Naturepak Beverage, our 50% joint venture with Naturepak Limited, to affiliates of Elopak ASA. The transaction closed on March 29, 2022, and we received preliminary proceeds of $47 million, which are subject to adjustments for cash, indebtedness and working capital as of the date of completion. We recognized a preliminary gain on the sale of our equity interests of $27 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

On July 28, 2021, we announced the decision to close our coated groundwood paper production line located in our Pine Bluff, Arkansas mill. On October 31, 2021, we ceased manufacturing coated groundwood paper, and we substantially completed our exit from this business during the fourth quarter of 2021. As a result of the closure, we recognized $1 million for disassembly costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and $8 million for contractual termination benefits during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

None of these dispositions qualify for presentation as discontinued operations.

Winter Storm Uri and Tropical Storm Fred

In February 2021, the Southern portion of the U.S. was impacted by Winter Storm Uri which brought record low temperatures, snow and ice and resulted in power failures, hazardous road conditions, damage to property and death and injury to individuals in those states. During most of this weather event, we were unable to fully operate some of our mills, plants and warehouses in Texas and Arkansas. During the first half of 2021, we incurred approximately $50 million of incremental costs including energy costs, primarily related to natural gas, shut-down costs and some property damage during the storm. Our Beverage Merchandising segment was impacted to the greatest degree with total incremental costs of $37 million incurred by our paper mill in Pine Bluff, Arkansas.

As a result of the storm, certain of our suppliers with locations in the impacted areas were also unable to operate which subsequently resulted in their declaration of force majeure on meeting the supply quantities due to us. In particular, our supply of various resin types was limited, and we were required to purchase from other suppliers, and at a higher price, in order to meet our production demands for March and April of 2021. As further discussed in our Results of Operations, our cost of sales was adversely impacted for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as the products manufactured with this higher priced material were sold.

In August 2021, the Southeastern portion of the U.S. was impacted by Tropical Storm Fred which brought severe flooding. As a result of the storm, our paper mill in Canton, North Carolina experienced a flood which resulted in the damage of certain property, plant and equipment. The mill subsequently experienced an explosion and resulting fire. Due to the extent of damage sustained from the flood, fire and related events, we were unable to fully operate our paper mill in Canton, North Carolina for several days during the third quarter of 2021. Accordingly, our Beverage Merchandising segment incurred $7 million of incremental costs, including costs related to the shut-down of the mill and to repair damaged property, plant and equipment, during the three months ended September 30, 2021.

COVID-19

We have been actively responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact. During the early part of 2021, we experienced lower demand for our products and, as a result, a decline in revenues. Commencing in the second quarter of 2021 and continuing throughout 2021, volumes improved in our business, most significantly in our Foodservice segment. To date, we have not experienced significant issues across our supply chain due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the sourcing of materials and

logistics service providers. As the general effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to change and remain unpredictable, the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to impact our results of operations in future periods as the macroeconomic environment and consumer behavior continue to evolve.

Non-GAAP Measures – Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations

In addition to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, we make use of the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to evaluate and manage our business and to plan and make near-term and long-term operating and strategic decisions.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is defined as net income (loss) from continuing operations calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus the sum of income tax expense, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization and further adjusted to exclude certain items, including but not limited to restructuring, asset impairment and other related charges, gains or losses on the sale of businesses and noncurrent assets, non-cash pension income or expense, operational process engineering-related consultancy costs, business acquisition and integration costs and purchase accounting adjustments, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives, foreign exchange gains or losses on cash, executive transition charges and gains or losses on certain legal settlements.

We present Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations because it is a key measure used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, make strategic decisions and incentivize and reward our employees. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management team and Board of Directors. We also believe that using Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis because it excludes variations primarily caused by changes in the items noted above. In addition, our chief operating decision maker, who is our President and Chief Executive Officer, uses Adjusted EBITDA of each reportable segment to evaluate the operating performance of such segments.

Our use of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Instead, you should consider it alongside other financial performance measures, including our net income (loss) and other GAAP results. In addition, in evaluating Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses such as those that are the subject of adjustments made in deriving Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, and you should not infer from our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations that our future results will not be affected by these expenses or any unusual or non-recurring items. The following is a reconciliation of our net income (loss) from continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for each of the periods indicated:

Net Revenues. Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $215 million, or 15%, to $1,609 million compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to favorable pricing, due to the contractual pass-through of higher material costs and pricing actions across all of our segments. In addition, the Foodservice segment’s acquisition of Fabri-Kal on October 1, 2021 contributed $114 million of incremental sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year period. These increases were partially offset by lower sales volume, primarily due to strong sales volume in the prior year period as businesses and restaurants re-opened post-COVID-19 lockdowns in our Foodservice segment, the market softening amid inflationary pressures in our Food Merchandising segment and our strategic exit from the coated groundwood business in our Beverage Merchandising segment in December 2021, and the impact from the disposition of Beverage Merchandising Asia on August 2, 2022.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $86 million, or 7%, to $1,377 million compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to the Foodservice segment’s acquisition of Fabri-Kal and higher material and manufacturing costs across all of our segments. These increases were partially offset by lower sales volume.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $41 million, or 39%, to $145 million compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher employee-related costs and higher costs related to the Foodservice segment’s acquisition of Fabri-Kal.

Restructuring, Asset Impairment and Other Related Charges. Restructuring, asset impairment and other related charges for the three months ended September 30, 2022 included a $56 million impairment charge related to the decision to exit our remaining closures businesses. Refer to Note 3, Restructuring, Asset Impairment and Other Related Charges, for additional details.

Other Income, Net. Other income, net for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $232 million to $239 million compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to the $239 million preliminary gain on the sale of Beverage Merchandising Asia, which was completed during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Non-operating Income, Net. Non-operating income, net, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $4 million, or 10%, to $44 million compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to a $47 million pension settlement gain recognized in the current year period compared to a $22 million pension settlement gain recognized in the prior year period, partially offset by lower ongoing net periodic benefit income. Refer to Note 10, Employee Benefits, for additional details.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $2 million, or 4%, to $59 million, compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the interest rate on our floating rate term loans and an increase in principal amounts outstanding under our senior secured notes. These increases were partially offset by $14 million of fees and third party costs incurred in the prior year period that did not recur. Refer to Note 8, Debt, for additional details.

Income Tax Expense. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized a tax expense of $79 million on income from continuing operations before tax of $254 million, compared to tax benefit of $13 million on a loss from continuing operations before tax of $11 million for the prior year period. The effective tax rate is primarily due to the tax impacts from the sale of our businesses. The effective tax rate during the prior year period was primarily attributable to our overall projected earnings subject to taxation at varying rates in the jurisdictions in which we operate.

Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $68 million, or 57%, to $187 million compared to the prior year period. The increase reflects favorable pricing, net of material costs passed through, and the impact from the acquisition of Fabri-Kal, partially offset by higher manufacturing and employee-related costs and lower sales volume.

Net Revenues. Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $834 million, or 21%, to $4,744 million compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to favorable pricing, due to the contractual pass-through of higher material costs and pricing actions across all of our segments. In addition, the Foodservice segment’s acquisition of Fabri-Kal on October 1, 2021 contributed $337 million of incremental sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year period. These increases were partially offset by lower sales volume, primarily due to strong sales volume in the prior year period as businesses and restaurants re-opened post-COVID-19 lockdowns in our Foodservice segment, labor and related impacts in our Food Merchandising segment and our strategic exit from the coated groundwood business in our Beverage Merchandising segment in December 2021.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $423 million, or 12%, to $3,972 million compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher material and manufacturing costs across all of our segments, as well as the Foodservice segment’s acquisition of Fabri-Kal. These increases were partially offset by lower sales volume and the benefit related to prior year period costs of $50 million from Winter Storm Uri.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $90 million, or 26%, to $435 million compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher employee-related costs and higher costs related to the Foodservice segment’s acquisition of Fabri-Kal.

Restructuring, Asset Impairment and Other Related Charges. Restructuring, asset impairment and other related charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $50 million to $58 million. The increase was primarily attributable to a $56 million impairment charge related to the decision to exit our remaining closures businesses. Refer to Note 3, Restructuring, Asset Impairment and Other Related Charges, for additional details.

Other Income, Net. Other income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $261 million to $279 million compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to the $239 million gain on the sale of Beverage

33


 

Merchandising Asia, the $27 million gain on the sale of our equity interests in Naturepak Beverage and the $15 million gain, net of costs, arising from the settlement of a historical legal action, partially offset by lower transition service agreement income.

Non-operating Income, Net. Non-operating income, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased by $36 million, or 41%, to $52 million compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower ongoing net periodic benefit income, partially offset by $57 million of pension settlement gains recognized in the current year period compared to a $22 million pension settlement gain recognized in the prior year period. Refer to Note 10, Employee Benefits, for additional details.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $17 million, or 12%, to $158 million, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to an increase in the interest rate on our floating rate term loans and a net increase in principal amounts outstanding under our senior secured notes. These increases were partially offset by $14 million of fees and third party costs incurred in the prior year period that did not recur. Refer to Note 8, Debt, for additional details.

Income Tax (Expense) Benefit. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized a tax expense of $160 million on income from continuing operations before tax of $452 million, compared to tax benefit of $26 million on a loss from continuing operations before tax of $27 million for the prior year period. The effective tax rate is primarily due to the inability to recognize a tax benefit on all interest expense and the tax impacts from the sales of our businesses. The effective tax rate during the prior year period was primarily attributable to the partial release of our valuation allowance for deferred interest deductions, which was partially offset by varying tax rates among the jurisdictions in which we operate.

Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $292 million, or 90%, to $618 million compared to the prior year period. The increase reflects favorable pricing, net of material costs passed through, and the impact from the acquisition of Fabri-Kal, partially offset by higher manufacturing and employee-related costs, lower sales volume and higher logistics costs. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA also included the benefit related to prior year period costs of $50 million from Winter Storm Uri.

Total Segment Net Revenues. Beverage Merchandising total segment net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $98 million, or 9%, to $1,245 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to favorable pricing, due to pricing actions taken to offset higher input costs and the contractual pass-through of higher material costs, and favorable product mix. These increases were partially offset by lower sales volume, primarily due to our strategic exit from the coated groundwood business in December 2021, and the impact from the disposition of Beverage Merchandising Asia on August 2, 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA. Beverage Merchandising Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $80 million to $79 million compared to the prior year period. The increase reflected favorable pricing, net of material costs passed through, and the benefit related to prior year period costs of $37 million from Winter Storm Uri and $7 million from Tropical Storm Fred. These items were partially offset by higher manufacturing and employee-related costs and lower sales volume.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We manage our capital structure in an effort to most effectively execute our strategic priorities and maximize shareholder value. We believe that we have sufficient liquidity to support our ongoing operations and to re-invest in our business to drive future growth. Our projected operating cash flows, cash on-hand and available capacity under our revolving credit facility are our primary sources of liquidity for the next 12 months. We expect our liquidity to fund capital expenditures, payments of interest and principal on our debt and distributions to shareholders that require approval by our Board of Directors. Additionally, we may utilize portions of our excess cash to repurchase certain amounts of our long-term debt prior to maturity depending on market conditions, among other factors.

Cash flows

Our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

Net cash flows increased $193 million, or 121%, compared to the prior year period primarily due to proceeds from the disposition of Beverage Merchandising Asia and our equity interests in Naturepak Beverage, and higher net cash provided by operating activities. These items were partially offset by net cash provided by various debt financing transactions undertaken during the prior year period. Net cash provided by operating activities increased as compared to the prior year period primarily due to favorable pricing, net of material costs passed through, the impact from the acquisition of Fabri-Kal and prior year period costs from Winter Storm Uri, partially offset by a strategic inventory build during the current year period and higher cash tax and interest payments.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our primary sources of cash were $364 million in combined proceeds related to the sale of Beverage Merchandising Asia and our equity interests in Naturepak Beverage, and $241 million of net cash provided by operating activities. The net cash provided by operating activities reflects income from operations, partially offset by $132 million of cash interest payments and $64 million of cash taxes. Our primary uses of cash for the same period were $169 million in capital expenditures and $54 million of dividends paid.

35


 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, our primary sources of cash were $1,015 million of proceeds from debt issued under the U.S. term loans Tranche B-3, $500 million of proceeds from the issuance of our 4.375% Notes and $190 million of net cash provided by operating activities. The net cash provided by operating activities reflects income from operations and a net tax refund of $25 million, partially offset by $99 million of cash interest payments. Our primary uses of cash for the same period were the repayment of $1,207 million of U.S. term loans Tranche B-1, $199 million in capital expenditures, repayment of the remaining $59 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.125% senior secured notes at a price of 101.281% and $53 million of dividends paid.

Dividends

We paid cash dividends of $54 million and $53 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. On November 3, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.10 per share to be paid on December 15, 2022 to shareholders of record as of November 30, 2022.

Our Credit Agreement and Notes limit the ability to make dividend payments, subject to specified exceptions. Our Board of Directors must review and approve future dividend payments and will determine whether to declare additional dividends based on our operating performance, expected future cash flows, debt levels, liquidity needs and investment opportunities.

Financing and capital resources

As of September 30, 2022, we had $4,258 million of total principal amount of borrowings. Refer to Note 8, Debt, for additional details. As of September 30, 2022, the underlying one month LIBO rate for amounts borrowed under our Credit Agreement was 3.12%. Based on this rate, our 2022 annual cash interest obligations on our borrowings are expected to be approximately $215 million. Of our total debt, $2,233 million is subject to variable interest rates, representing borrowings drawn under our Credit Agreement. Based on our outstanding debt commitments as of September 30, 2022 and all other variables remaining constant, a 100 basis point increase (decrease) in interest rates would result in a $22 million per annum increase (decrease) in interest expense on the term loans under our Credit Agreement.

Under the Credit Agreement, we may incur additional indebtedness either by satisfying certain incurrence tests or by incurring such additional indebtedness under certain specific categories of permitted debt. Incremental senior secured indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and senior secured or unsecured notes in lieu thereof are permitted to be incurred up to an aggregate principal amount of $750 million subject to pro forma compliance with the Credit Agreement’s total secured leverage ratio covenant. In addition, we may incur senior secured indebtedness in an unlimited amount as long as our total secured leverage ratio does not exceed 4.50 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis, and (in the case of incremental senior secured indebtedness under the Credit Agreement only) we are in pro forma compliance with the Credit Agreement’s total secured leverage ratio covenant. The incurrence of unsecured indebtedness, including the issuance of senior notes, and unsecured subordinated indebtedness is also permitted (subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement) if the fixed charge coverage ratio is at least 2.00 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis.

Under the respective indentures governing the Notes, we may incur additional indebtedness either by satisfying certain incurrence tests or by incurring such additional indebtedness under certain specific categories of permitted debt. Indebtedness may be incurred under the incurrence tests if the fixed charge coverage ratio is at least 2.00 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis or the consolidated total leverage ratio is no greater than 5.50 to 1.00 and the liens securing first lien secured indebtedness do not exceed a 4.10 to 1.00 consolidated secured first lien leverage ratio.

We are required to make annual prepayments of term loans with up to 50% of excess cash flow (which will be reduced to 25% or 0% if specified senior secured first lien leverage ratios are met) as determined in accordance with the Credit Agreement. No excess cash flow prepayments were made in 2021 or will be due in 2022 for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Excludes $7 million and $17 million of cash classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Includes $162 million of assets classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2021 and $24 million and $31 million of liabilities classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

As of September 30, 2022, we had $559 million of cash and cash equivalents on-hand, with a further $7 million of cash and cash equivalents classified within current assets held for sale. We also had $200 million available for drawing under our revolving credit facility, net of $50 million utilized in the form of letters of credit under the facility. Our next debt maturity is $276 million of Pactiv Debentures due in December 2025, excluding amortization payments related to our U.S. term loans tranche B-2 and B-3 under our Credit Agreement.

We believe that we have sufficient liquidity to support our ongoing operations in the next 12 months and to invest in future growth to create further value for our shareholders. Our primary drivers of increased liquidity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $364 million in proceeds from the sale of Beverage Merchandising Asia and our equity interests in Naturepak Beverage, and net operating cash flows of $241 million. These sources of additional liquidity were partially offset by capital expenditures of $169 million during the year. We currently anticipate incurring a total of approximately $260 million in capital expenditures during fiscal year 2022.

During 2022, our working capital increased $343 million, or 33%, primarily due to cash proceeds from our recent divestitures and our strategic inventory build during the year. Our working capital position provides us the flexibility for further consideration of strategic initiatives, including reinvestment in our business and deleveraging of our balance sheet. As a result, we may utilize portions of our excess cash to repurchase certain amounts of our long-term debt prior to maturity depending on market conditions, among other factors.

Our ability to borrow under our revolving credit facility or to incur additional indebtedness may be limited by the terms of such indebtedness or other indebtedness, including the Credit Agreement and the Notes. The Credit Agreement and the respective indentures governing the Notes generally allow our subsidiaries to transfer funds in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances within the Company.

Other than short-term leases executed in the normal course of business, we have no material off-balance sheet obligations.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Assumptions

The most critical accounting policies and estimates are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require us to make the most difficult and subjective judgments, often estimating the outcome of future events that are inherently uncertain. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Our critical accounting estimates are described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

New accounting standards that we have recently adopted, as well as accounting standards that have been recently issued but not yet adopted by us, is included in Note 1, Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

There have been no material changes to our market risk during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. For additional information, refer to Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In connection with the preparation of this report, management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the third quarter of 2022, we completed the integration of Fabri-Kal's internal control environment into Pactiv Evergreen's internal control environment. As a part of this integration, we migrated Fabri-Kal’s legacy enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system onto Pactiv Evergreen’s primary ERP system.

Other than as described in the preceding paragraph, there were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
