Sealed Air Reports Q3 2024 Results
Third Quarter 2024 Highlights and Financial Results
Shifted operating structure into two distinct verticals, Food and Protective, and announced both vertical presidents with strong commercial packaging expertise
Volume growth in Food driven by strong end-market demand and competitive wins
Protective industrial and fulfillment portfolios continue to be weak
Cost take-out on track to generate $90 million of incremental cost savings for full-year 2024
Net leverage ratio reduced to 3.7x with maintained focus on deleveraging the balance sheet
Updating our financial outlook for 2024
CHARLOTTE, N.C., November 7, 2024 – Sealed Air Corporation (NYSE: SEE) announced third quarter 2024 financial results and business updates.
“With the shift into two verticals, Food and Protective, and the onboarding of new leadership, we have positioned Sealed Air for long-term success,” said Patrick Kivits, Sealed Air’s CEO. “Over the coming months, we are focused on operationalizing each vertical and finalizing the long-term growth strategy for each business. In parallel, we are stepping up our cost take-out initiatives to right-size each business and improve profitability until our transformation takes hold."
“While our third quarter results were ahead of expectation, the strength of our Food business continues to be offset by continued softness in our Protective portfolio. As a result, we are maintaining the midpoint of our Sales and Adjusted EBITDA guidance,” said Dustin Semach, Sealed Air’s President and CFO. “We continue to improve underlying cash generation fundamentals, optimize our debt and tax rate, and as a result, we are raising our guidance for Free Cash Flow and Adjusted EPS for the year."

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights
Net sales of $1.35 billion decreased 3% as reported, with APAC increasing 4% and the Americas and EMEA regions both decreasing 4%. Net sales decreased $32 million, or 2%, on a constant dollar basis. Price had an unfavorable impact of $26 million, or 2%. Volumes decreased by $6 million, or less than 1%.
Income tax expense was $31 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.7% in the quarter. This compares to an income tax expense of $20 million in the prior year, or an effective tax rate of 26.1%. The Adjusted Tax Rate was 24.0% in the quarter, as compared to 25.7% in the prior year.
Net earnings were $89 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, as compared to net earnings of $58 million, or $0.40 per diluted share in the prior year. The current year results were unfavorably impacted by $33 million of Special Items expense, including $16 million of restructuring and other associated costs related to the cost take-out to grow program ("CTO2Grow Program") and $8 million related to the amortization of Liquibox intangible assets. The prior year results were unfavorably impacted by $72 million of Special Items expense, including $51 million related to business closure activity. Adjusted earnings per diluted share increased to $0.79, from $0.77 in the prior year, primarily due to lower interest and tax expense, partially offset by lower Adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted EBITDA was $276 million, or 20.5% of net sales, as compared to $285 million, or 20.6% in the prior year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower volumes and unfavorable net price realization in Protective, partially offset by lower operating costs driven by productivity benefits as a result of the CTO2Grow Program.
Business Segment Highlights
Third quarter net sales in Food were $898 million, an increase of approximately 1% as reported. Currency fluctuations had an unfavorable impact of $5 million, or less than 1%. On a constant dollar basis, net sales increased $9 million, or 1%. Volumes increased $21 million, or 2%, with growth in all regions driven by strength in end-market demand and competitive share gains. Price had an unfavorable impact of $12 million, or 1%. Adjusted EBITDA of $206 million, or 22.9% of net sales, increased 6% from $194 million, or 21.7% of net sales. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by higher volumes, favorable net price realization and lower operating costs driven by productivity benefits, including our CTO2Grow Program.
Third quarter net sales in Protective were $447 million, a decrease of 8% as reported. Currency fluctuations had an unfavorable impact of less than $1 million. On a constant dollar basis, net sales decreased $41 million, or 8%. Volumes decreased $28 million, or 6%, resulting from continued weakness in our industrial and fulfillment portfolios. Price had an unfavorable impact of $13 million, or 3%. Adjusted EBITDA of $75 million, or 16.9% of net sales, decreased 21% from $95 million, or 19.5% of net sales. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to lower volumes and unfavorable net price realization, partially offset by lower operating costs driven by productivity benefits, including our CTO2Grow Program.
Cash Flow and Net Debt
Cash flow from operating activities during the first nine months of 2024 was a source of $484 million, as compared to a source of $193 million during the prior year period, which included a $175 million tax deposit.
Capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2024 were $161 million, as compared to $185 million during the prior year period. Free Cash Flow, defined as net cash from operating activities less capital expenditures, was a source of $323 million for the first nine months of 2024, as compared to a source of $8 million during the prior year period. Excluding the $175 million tax deposit, Free Cash Flow was a source of $183 million for the first nine months of 2023.
Dividend payments for the first nine months of both 2024 and 2023 were $89 million.
Total debt was $4.5 billion as of September 30, 2024 and $4.7 billion as of December 31, 2023. Net Debt, defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents, was $4.1 billion as of September 30, 2024 and $4.3 billion as of December 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2024, SEE had approximately $1.4 billion of available liquidity comprised of $386 million of cash and $1.0 billion of available and unused lines of credit under our committed credit facilities. The net leverage ratio, defined as net debt divided by last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA, decreased to 3.7x as of September 30, 2024 as compared to 3.9x as of December 31, 2023.

In this press release, we include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Net Debt, Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted EPS, net sales on an "organic" and a “constant dollar” basis, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, net leverage ratio and Adjusted Tax Rate. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures to assess operating and financial performance, set budgets, provide guidance and compare with peers’ performance.

See the attached supplementary information for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Information reconciling forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is not presented because it is not available without unreasonable effort. The reconciling information that is not available includes forward-looking ranges of certain Special Items with high variability, complexity and low visibility. We are unable to address the probable significance of such unavailable information, which could have a potential significant impact on our future GAAP financial results.
