Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Ranpak Holdings Corp. reported first quarter 2026 net revenue of $101.2 million, up 11.0% from $91.2 million, or 4.5% on a constant currency basis. Growth was driven mainly by automation, void-fill, and cushioning, partly offset by lower wrapping revenue.

The Company posted a net loss of $10.2 million, slightly improved from a $10.9 million loss, with basic and diluted loss per share of $(0.12). Adjusted EBITDA rose 9.2% to $18.9 million, though the Adjusted EBITDA margin edged down to 18.7%. Results include a $1.7 million non‑cash revenue reduction related to warrants with Amazon and Walmart.

Automation net revenue increased 112.7% to $13.4 million, while total Protective Packaging Solutions system placements grew to about 144.1 thousand machines, up 0.2% year over year. Ranpak ended the quarter with $48.5 million in cash, no borrowings on its $50.0 million revolver, and $404.9 million outstanding on its first lien term facility.

Insights

Ranpak grew revenue double digits with strong automation gains but remains loss-making.

Ranpak delivered Q1 2026 net revenue of $101.2M, up 11.0%, with automation net revenue jumping 112.7% to $13.4M. Core paper-based products also grew modestly, while wrapping declined slightly. This shows a mix shift toward higher-growth automation alongside steady consumables demand.

Despite the growth, the Company recorded a net loss of $10.2M, only modestly better than last year, and Adjusted EBITDA margin slipped to 18.7%. A non-cash $1.7M warrant-related reduction affected revenue and AEBITDA. Liquidity remains solid with $48.5M in cash and no revolver borrowings, against $404.9M of term debt outstanding as of March 31, 2026.

Management highlighted strong automation momentum, continued PPS volume growth in most recent quarters, and expanding relationships with Amazon and Walmart, while noting macro and geopolitical uncertainties. Subsequent company updates may clarify whether automation growth and margin initiatives can further narrow losses over future reporting periods.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA (“AEBITDA”)(1) for the first quarter of $18.9 million"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
constant currency financial
"increased 4.5% year over year on a constant currency basis"
Constant currency is a way of measuring financial results that removes the effects of changes in currency exchange rates. It allows for a clearer comparison of a company's performance over time by showing what the numbers would look like if exchange rates had stayed the same. This helps investors understand whether growth comes from actual business improvements or just currency fluctuations.
non-cash reduction for warrants financial
"including a $1.7 million, or 0.9%, non-cash reduction for warrants"
Protective Packaging Solutions financial
"Protective Packaging Solutions (“PPS”) system placement up 0.2% year over year"
first lien term facility financial
"the Company had $404.9 million outstanding under its U.S. dollar-denominated first lien term facility"
A first lien term facility is a fixed-schedule loan where lenders hold the top-priority legal claim (first lien) on specified company assets as collateral. Think of it like a mortgage that must be repaid over a set period and gives its lenders the first right to seized assets if the borrower defaults; this matters to investors because it determines who gets paid first, the company’s borrowing cost, and how risky equity or other debt will be.
Non-GAAP financial measures financial
"EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA (“AEBITDA”), which are non-GAAP financial measures"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.

Exhibit 99.1
Ranpak Holdings Corp. Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Net revenue for the first quarter increased 11.0% year over year to $101.2 million and 4.5% year over year on a constant currency basis
Net loss for the first quarter of $10.2 million compared to net loss of $10.9 million for the prior year period
Adjusted EBITDA (“AEBITDA”)(1) for the first quarter of $18.9 million, an increase of 9.2%, or $1.6 million, year over year, and remained flat on a constant currency basis
Protective Packaging Solutions (“PPS”) system placement up 0.2% year over year to approximately 144.1 thousand machines at March 31, 2026
CONCORD TOWNSHIP, Ohio, April 30, 2026 – Ranpak Holdings Corp. (NYSE: PACK) (“Ranpak” or “the Company”), a leading provider of environmentally sustainable, systems-based, product protection and end-of-line automation solutions for e-commerce and industrial supply chains, today reported its first quarter 2026 financial results.
Omar Asali, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “I am pleased with how we started the year and how effectively we are navigating a dynamic environment.

Automation delivered an exceptional performance and the momentum there continues to accelerate, with net revenue increasing 111% year over year on a constant currency basis and excluding warrants. PPS volumes grew 0.8% year over year, driven by growth in EMEA, which exceeded the expectations we shared on our fourth‑quarter call and marks consolidated PPS volume growth in 10 of the past 11 quarters. As expected, North America faced a challenging comparison versus Q1 of last year where sales were up 33.5%, but we continued to see strong large enterprise e‑commerce activity in North America, while the distribution channel in the region was below last year’s challenging comparison.

Together, these factors contributed to net revenue growth of 11.0% or 4.5% on a constant currency basis, inclusive of a $1.7 million provision for warrants. AEBITDA increased $1.6 million or 9.2% to $18.9 million and was flat on a constant currency basis. Excluding the impact of warrants, AEBITDA increased 5.0% on a constant currency basis.

While global conflicts create additional uncertainty in the near term, we believe we are structurally well positioned. Over the past several years, we have focused on developing sustainable, differentiated, value‑added solutions for our customers. I believe we are in the right substrate, and our Automated solutions deliver meaningful efficiencies and cost savings which have become even more critical in recent months, reinforcing our confidence in our growth trajectory. We are also very pleased with the deepening relationships with Amazon and Walmart and the opportunities to expand our work with them.

Our margin initiatives are gaining traction, and we remain disciplined on cost as we work to drive continued improvements in our results. We remain focused on delivering top‑line growth while strengthening our margin profile.”
First Quarter 2026 Highlights
Net revenue increased 11.0% year over year and increased 4.5% on a constant currency basis, including a $1.7 million, or 0.9%, non-cash reduction for warrants, compared to $0.8 million reduction in the prior period
Net loss of $10.2 million compared to net loss of $10.9 million for the prior year period
AEBITDA of $18.9 million is up 9.2% year over year and flat on a constant currency basis, including a $1.7 million non-cash reduction for warrants
PPS system placement increased 0.2% year over year, to approximately 144.1 thousand machines as of March 31, 2026

Net revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $101.2 million compared to $91.2 million for the first quarter of 2025, an increase of $10.0 million or 11.0% (4.5% on a constant currency basis) and includes a non-cash reduction of $0.9 million to void-fill and $0.8 million to automation net revenue from the provision for warrants in the current period. Net revenue was positively impacted primarily by increases in automation, void-fill, and cushioning, partially offset by a decrease in wrapping. Cushioning increased $1.4 million, or 4.0%, to $36.6 million from $35.2 million; void-fill increased $1.6 million, or 4.0%, to $41.9 million from $40.3 million; wrapping decreased $0.1 million, or 1.1%, to $9.3 million from $9.4

million; and automation net revenue increased $7.1 million, or 112.7% to $13.4 million from $6.3 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025.
The increase in net revenue for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025 is quantified by a 6.8% increase in automation equipment sales, a 6.5% increase from foreign currency fluctuations, and a 0.8% increase in the volume of sales of our paper consumable products, partially offset by a 2.1% decrease in the price or mix of our paper consumable products and a 1.0% non-cash decrease from the provision for warrants.

The following table presents the non-cash impact that the Company’s outstanding warrants had on the Company’s results of operations during the first quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively:

Non-GAAP Measures
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA (“AEBITDA”)
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We also present Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) and adjusted EBITDA (“AEBITDA”), which are non-GAAP financial measures, 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 and AEBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our primary business operations. We believe that EBITDA and AEBITDA provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude: benefit from (provision for) income taxes; interest expense; and depreciation and amortization.
AEBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude: benefit from (provision for) income taxes; interest expense; depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation expense; foreign currency (gain) loss; amortization of cloud-based software implementation costs; and, in certain periods, other income and expense items.
We reconcile this data to our GAAP data for the same periods presented.
Constant Currency
We operate globally, and a substantial portion of our net revenue and operations is denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Euro. We calculate the year over-year impact of foreign currency movements using prior period foreign currency rates applied to current year results. These “constant currency” change amounts are non-GAAP measures and are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, constant currency change measures are not based on any established set of accounting rules or principles.
In calculating the Constant Currency (Non-GAAP) % Change, the current year is translated at the average exchange rate for the comparable prior year period, when comparing the current year to the prior year. We believe that our Constant Currency (Non-GAAP) % Change presentation provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.
Cautionary Notice Regarding Non-GAAP Measures
Non-GAAP measures, such as EBITDA, AEBITDA, and constant currency change, 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, non-GAAP financial measures 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 and AEBITDA do not reflect all cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
EBITDA and AEBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
EBITDA and 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;
AEBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation, and in certain periods, other income and expense items, such as restructuring and integration costs;
constant currency change measures exclude the foreign currency exchange rate impact on our foreign operations; and
other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate EBITDA, AEBITDA, and constant currency change differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.
