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 2020 financial results.

Omar Asali, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The Ranpak team continued to execute well into year end and delivered excellent results while staying focused on employee health and safety. Our disciplined approach to investing in the business and enhancing our commercial capabilities was on display in the fourth quarter as net revenue of $90.2 million increased 13.9% year over year on a constant currency basis compared to pro forma net revenue of $79.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Exceptional demand in Europe / APAC driven by elevated e-Commerce activity as well as improvements in industrial activity were the key growth drivers in the quarter. Strong growth in the top-line and operating leverage translated into robust growth in AEBITDA of 14.6% year over year to $33.0 million, implying an attractive margin of 36.6%.”

“As I reflect on where we are and where we are going, I believe it is safe to say Ranpak is a more nimble, proactive, and customer centric company than it was a year ago. The team sees the opportunity available to us and is operating at a new pace to pursue our growth initiatives. I believe 2020 was a year that will serve as a strong foundation for Ranpak’s next chapter. We reinvigorated the product portfolio with best-in-class Void-fill and Cushioning solutions, introduced a next generation Automation offering, developed an on-demand cold chain solution, and significantly increased our brand positioning through digital investments. I believe 2021 will continue to see the world move to more sustainable solutions and embrace Automation further. I am pleased with our continued progress at Ranpak and excited about our ability to drive growth and create shareholder value while also improving the world around us.”
