Welcome to our dedicated page for Primo Water Corporation news (Ticker: PRMW), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Primo Water Corporation stock.
Primo Water Corporation (NASDAQ: PRMW) is a leading provider of sustainable drinking water solutions in North America and Europe. Founded in 2004 by Billy Prim, the company was modeled after his previous success with Blue Rhino, the market leader in propane grill cylinder exchange. Primo Water offers a range of products including water dispensers, bulk purified bottled water, self-service refill water, and exchange water services. The company is recognized for its innovative and stylish water dispensers, available for both home and office use, which help reduce environmental waste.
Primo Water's operations are largely concentrated in North America, following a strategic divestment of a significant portion of its international business. The firm typically initiates customer relationships through the sale of water dispensers and generates recurring revenue via their Water Direct and Water Exchange services. Two-thirds of the total sales come from these recurring revenue streams, involving the delivery of large-format water bottles to residential and commercial customers.
In a recent development, Primo Water announced an agreement whereby Culligan International will acquire a significant portion of its international businesses in an all-cash transaction valued at up to $575 million. This transaction, expected to close by the end of 2023, will allow Primo Water to focus on its core North American business, enhance profitability, and return capital to shareholders.
Primo Water is committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility. The company partners with organizations like the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) and Watercoolers Europe (WE) to ensure adherence to high safety, quality, and regulatory standards. Primo Water’s mission is to expand consumer access to purified, spring, and mineral water, promoting a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle while reducing plastic waste.
The company generated approximately $2.2 billion in annual revenue in 2022 and operates under a recurring revenue model in the large format water category (defined as three gallons or greater). Its products are sold through approximately 10,900 retail locations and online. Primo Water’s water solutions include Water Direct, Water Exchange, and Water Refill, with over 23,500 self-service refill drinking water stations across North America.
