Insights

Primo Water's Q2 2024 results are impressively strong, showcasing robust growth and improved profitability. Revenue increased by 7.6% to $485 million, with organic growth contributing 6.6%. The company's gross margin expanded by 110 basis points to 65.6%, indicating improved operational efficiency.

The standout metric is the 14.9% increase in Adjusted EBITDA to $113 million, with margin expanding 150 basis points to 23.3%. This demonstrates the company's ability to translate top-line growth into improved profitability. The increase in full-year guidance for Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow further underscores management's confidence in the business trajectory.

However, investors should note that reported net income slightly decreased year-over-year. The proposed merger with BlueTriton Brands adds an element of uncertainty but could potentially create significant synergies and market positioning benefits.

Primo Water's Q2 results reflect strong market demand for sustainable drinking water solutions. The 7.4% growth in Water Direct/Water Exchange and 11.6% growth in Water Refill/Water Filtration channels indicate shifting consumer preferences towards convenient, eco-friendly hydration options.

The impressive 86.6% growth in the Other Water category, primarily driven by Mountain Valley Spring water, suggests a successful expansion into premium water segments. This diversification could help Primo capture a larger market share and tap into growing consumer interest in premium, naturally sourced water products.

The proposed merger with BlueTriton Brands could create a powerhouse in the North American water market, potentially reshaping the competitive landscape. Investors should monitor how this merger progresses and its potential impact on market dynamics and Primo's growth trajectory.

TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Primo Water Corporation (NYSE: PRMW) (TSX: PRMW) (the "Company" or "Primo Water"), a leading provider of sustainable drinking water solutions in North America, today announced its results for the second quarter ended June 29, 2024.

"We continue to execute well against our clear and focused strategy. As a result, we are delivering accelerated topline growth which is balanced and broad based.

"The focus on the "must-wins" of delivering exceptional customer service, being the water solutions partner of choice, and operational excellence is driving growth and creating value for our stakeholders. We remain focused on the front-line performance of our business to grow profitably as we prepare for the previously announced proposed merger with BlueTriton Brands.  We believe the combination of these two companies and their expansive brand and product portfolios will position us to better serve our customers and to fulfill their hydration needs," continued Mr. Rietbroek.

ABOUT PRIMO WATER CORPORATION

Primo Water is a leading North America-focused pure-play water solutions provider that operates largely under a recurring revenue model in the large format water category (defined as 3 gallons or greater). This business strategy is commonly referred to as "razor-razorblade" because the initial sale of a product creates a base of users who frequently purchase complementary consumable products. The razor in Primo Water's revenue model is its industry leading line-up of innovative water dispensers, which are sold through approximately 11,350 retail locations and online at various price points. The dispensers help increase household and business penetration which drives recurring purchases of Primo Water's razorblade offering or water solutions. Primo Water's razorblade offering is comprised of Water Direct, Water Exchange, and Water Refill. Through its Water Direct business, Primo Water delivers sustainable hydration solutions direct to customers, whether at home or to businesses. Through its Water Exchange business, customers visit retail locations and purchase a pre-filled bottle of water. Once consumed, empty bottles are exchanged at our recycling center displays, which provide a ticket that offers a discount toward the purchase of a new bottle. Water Exchange is available in approximately 17,950 retail locations. Through its Water Refill business, customers refill empty bottles at approximately 23,500 self-service refill drinking water stations. Primo Water also offers water filtration units across North America.

Primo Water's water solutions expand consumer access to purified, spring, and mineral water to promote a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle while simultaneously reducing plastic waste and pollution. Primo Water is committed to its water stewardship standards and is proud to partner with the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) in North America which ensures strict adherence to safety, quality, sanitation and regulatory standards for the benefit of consumer protection.

Primo Water is headquartered in Tampa, Florida (USA). For more information, visit www.primowatercorp.com.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement its reporting of financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles), Primo Water utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures.  Primo Water utilizes organic revenue growth (which excludes the impact of acquisitions). Primo Water also utilizes Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to separate the impact of certain items from the underlying business.  Because Primo Water uses these adjusted financial results in the management of its business, management believes this supplemental information is useful to investors for their independent evaluation and understanding of Primo Water's underlying business performance and the performance of its management.  Additionally, Primo Water supplements its reporting of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities from continuing operations determined in accordance with GAAP by excluding additions to property, plant and equipment and additions to intangible assets to present free cash flow, and by excluding the additional items identified on the exhibits hereto to present adjusted free cash flow, which management believes provides useful information to investors in assessing our performance, comparing Primo Water's performance to the performance of the Company's peer group and assessing the Company's ability to service debt and finance strategic opportunities, which include investing in Primo Water's business, making strategic acquisitions, paying dividends, and strengthening the balance sheet. With respect to the Company's expectations of its future performance, the Company's reconciliations of Q3 2024 and full-year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA and 2024 adjusted free cash flow guidance are not available, as the Company is unable to quantify certain amounts to the degree of precision that would be required in the relevant GAAP measures without unreasonable effort. These items include restructuring costs and restructuring-related impairment charges, acquisition/divestiture related costs, gains or losses on the sale of businesses or other assets, and the income tax effects of these items and/or other income tax-related events. These items depend on highly variable factors and any such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. Primo Water expects the variability of these factors to have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on the Company's future GAAP financial results. The non-GAAP financial measures described above are in addition to, and not meant to be considered superior to, or a substitute for, Primo Water's financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this earnings announcement reflect management's judgment of particular items, and may be different from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

1 The tax effect for adjusted net income is based upon an analysis of the statutory tax treatment and the applicable tax rate for the jurisdiction in which the pre-tax adjusting items incurred and for which realization of the resulting tax benefit (if any) is expected. A reduced or 0% tax rate is applied to jurisdictions where we do not expect to realize a tax benefit due to a history of operating losses or other factors resulting in a valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets.

2 For the periods presented, the non-GAAP diluted weighted average common shares outstanding equaled the reported diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.
