Positive
Net revenue for Q4 increased 13.9% YoY to $90.4 million.
Net loss for Q4 was $9.3 million compared to $7.3 million in the prior year.
Constant currency AEBITDA for Q4 increased 89.1% to $24.4 million.
Packaging systems placement rose 1.5% YoY to around 141,200 machines by December 31, 2023.
Ranpak finished 2023 with a net loss of $27.1 million compared to $41.4 million in 2022.
The company had a cash balance of $62.0 million and no borrowings on its $45 million Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2023.
Ranpak forecasts net revenue growth of 6% – 12% and AEBITDA growth of 5% – 16% in 2024.
The company aims to focus on profitability, cash generation, and deleveraging in 2024.
The reported increase in net revenue for Ranpak Holdings Corp, particularly the 13.9% year-over-year growth and 10.3% on a constant currency basis, suggests a robust performance in their operational activities. This growth is indicative of a positive market response to their product offerings and may be a result of increased demand for environmentally sustainable packaging solutions, a trend that has been gaining momentum. The financial health of a company can often be gauged by its revenue growth, which in this case, is a strong signal to investors and stakeholders about Ranpak's market position.
However, the reported net loss widening from $7.3 million to $9.3 million year over year raises concerns. It is vital to analyze the underlying factors contributing to this loss, such as increased operating expenses, investment in growth, or one-time charges. Stakeholders should consider whether this loss is a temporary setback or indicative of more profound challenges within the company's business model or market conditions.
Furthermore, the reduction in net debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA from 4.6x is a positive step towards financial stability, suggesting that the company is making progress in managing its debt levels. This is a critical metric for assessing a company's ability to meet its long-term financial obligations.
Ranpak's strategic focus on e-Commerce and industrial supply chains is particularly relevant given the ongoing growth in online shopping and the need for sustainable packaging solutions. The reported uptick in e-Commerce activity during the holiday season in North America, coupled with improved operating conditions in Europe, aligns with broader market trends and reflects the company's ability to capitalize on these opportunities.
The volume increases in product categories such as cushioning and void-fill are consistent with the rise in shipping and packaging demands associated with e-Commerce growth. The company's positioning as a provider of environmentally sustainable solutions is likely to resonate with consumers and businesses increasingly focused on sustainability, which could provide a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
The emphasis on Automation revenue growth and the establishment of Ranpak as a top-tier end-of-line automation player suggests a strategic pivot towards leveraging technology to enhance efficiency and scalability. This move could potentially open new revenue streams and improve profit margins, provided the execution aligns with market needs and customer adoption rates.
Ranpak's commitment to environmentally sustainable packaging solutions is a significant aspect of its business model that aligns with global sustainability trends. The increase in placement of packaging systems indicates market acceptance of sustainable practices and can be seen as a response to consumer and regulatory pressures for greener packaging options. This strategic positioning not only caters to a growing niche market but also addresses broader environmental concerns, potentially enhancing the company's brand reputation and customer loyalty.
Investments in digital and physical infrastructure aimed at supporting sustainable solutions could yield long-term benefits as global markets increasingly prioritize environmental impact in their purchasing decisions. Ranpak's focus on sustainability is not only ethically commendable but also strategically sound, potentially leading to a more resilient and future-proof business model.

Packaging System placement up 1.5% year over year to approximately 141,200 machines at December 31, 2023
Net revenue for the fourth quarter increased 13.9% year over year to $90.4 million 10.3% year over year on a constant currency basis to $93.9 million
Net loss for the fourth quarter of $9.3 million $7.3 million
Constant Currency Adjusted EBITDA (“AEBITDA”) for the fourth quarter of $24.4 million 89.1% , or $11.5 million
CONCORD TOWNSHIP, Ohio --(BUSINESS WIRE)--
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 fourth quarter and full year 2023 financial results.
Omar Asali, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased with our fourth quarter results as Ranpak finished the year on a positive note and built on the volume improvement momentum which began in the third quarter of 2023. Net revenue for the quarter increased 10.3% year over year on a constant currency basis to $93.9 million North America and Europe /APAC. We saw continued general improvement in the operating environment in Europe in the quarter and a more pronounced e-Commerce holiday season uptick in North America . Volumes overall increased 10% compared to the prior year and finished positive for the year after a slower start. In addition to our improved top-line performance, we experienced our most profitable quarter of the year as better volumes and more favorable input costs drove an Adjusted EBITDA increase of 89.1% to $24.4 million
“We have been working towards bringing our key initiatives to drive top-line growth to fruition and made solid progress executing in this area. Strategic account activity in PPS in North America will begin to be felt in the second quarter and we believe Automation revenue growth will step up this year driven by inroads we have made in the industry by building our reputation as a top-tier end of line Automation player. We made substantial investments in our digital and physical infrastructure as well as our product portfolio over the past couple of years, and believe 2024 is the first year where we are able to focus on volumes, profitability, and deleveraging rather than additional investment. We finished 2023 at 4.6x net debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis which is a full turn below our recent peak in Q2, and are committed to moving further down the path towards less than 3.0x leverage.”

Non-GAAP Financial Data
In this press release, we present Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) and constant currency EBITDA and constant currency adjusted EBITDA (“Constant currency AEBITDA”), which are non-GAAP financial measures. We have included EBITDA, constant currency EBITDA and constant currency AEBITDA 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, constant currency EBITDA and constant currency AEBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our primary business operations.
However, EBITDA, constant currency EBITDA and constant currency 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, constant currency EBITDA and constant currency 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, constant currency EBITDA and constant currency AEBITDA do not reflect all cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
EBITDA, constant currency EBITDA and constant currency AEBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
constant currency AEBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of equity-based compensation;
EBITDA, constant currency EBITDA and constant currency 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;
constant currency AEBITDA does not take into account any restructuring and integration costs;
constant currency EBITDA and constant currency AEBITDA are presented on a constant currency basis and give effect to the impact of currency fluctuations; and
other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate EBITDA, constant currency EBITDA and constant currency AEBITDA differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.
EBITDA
Constant currency EBITDA
Constant currency AEBITDA
We present constant currency EBITDA and constant currency AEBITDA on a constant currency basis because it allows a better insight into the performance of our businesses that operate in currencies other than our reporting currency. Before consolidation, our Europe /Asia financial data is derived in Euros. To calculate the adjustment that we apply to present constant currency EBITDA and constant currency AEBITDA on a constant currency basis, 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 exchange rate to use to give a stable depiction of the business without currency fluctuations between periods, to calculate Europe /Asia data in constant currency USD. We believe that using an exchange rate of 1.15 is reasonable because it approximates the average exchange rate of the Euro to USD over the past five years. In addition, we include certain other unaudited, non-GAAP constant currency data for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. 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 months and year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
This press release also includes forecasts for certain non-GAAP metrics. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of our forecast of net revenue on a constant currency basis for 2023 to a forecast of net revenue on a GAAP basis without unreasonable effort primarily because we are unable to forecast with reasonable certainty the associated currency impact. In addition, a reconciliation of our forecast for constant currency AEBITDA for 2023 to GAAP net income cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because we are unable to forecast with reasonable certainty several of the items necessary to calculate such comparable GAAP measure, including asset impairments, integration related expenses, reorganizations and discontinued operations related expenses, legal settlement costs, constant currency adjustments, as well as other unusual or non-recurring gains or losses. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to our results computed in accordance with GAAP. We believe the inherent uncertainties in reconciling such non-GAAP measures for projected periods to the most comparable GAAP measures would make the forecasted comparable GAAP measures difficult to predict with reasonable certainty or reliability.
