Sealed Air Reports Third Quarter Results
Net Sales from Continuing Operations increased year-over-year to $1.2 billion (up 5%)
 
 
Net Earnings from Continuing Operations $76 million (up 21%) or $0.48 per diluted share (up 45%)
 
 
Adjusted Earnings from Continuing Operations per diluted share of $0.61 (up 33%)
 
 
Reaffirm 2018 Outlook provided on October 17, 2018
 
 
Existing restructuring program expected to realize annualized savings of $40 million in 2018 and an additional $25 million in 2019

CHARLOTTE, N.C., November 1, 2018 – Sealed Air Corporation (NYSE: SEE) today announced financial results for the third quarter 2018.
"Net sales of $1.2 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of $219 million increased 8% and 4% in constant dollars, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA fell short of our expectations due to currency headwinds and higher than expected raw material and freight costs. More specifically to Product Care, we experienced higher absorption costs due to lower global volume in our utility business, which accounts for 30% of the division's sales. We expect these challenges to continue into year-end, which is reflected in our full year 2018 outlook," said Ted Doheny, Sealed Air's President and CEO. 
"Given recent business and market dynamics, we accelerated actions under our existing restructuring program. As a result, we now expect annualized savings of $40 million in 2018, $10 million above prior expectations, and an additional $25 million in annualized savings in 2019. Furthermore, we are identifying additional opportunities to redesign our operating model and improve our performance. We expect to announce a more detailed plan before year-end.
We clearly see the power of our iconic brands, differentiated technology, leading market positions and deep customer relationships with more value to be captured in existing and adjacent markets. We remain committed to an ROIC-focused capital allocation approach and creating long-term value for our customers, employees and shareholders."

Unless otherwise stated, all results compare third quarter 2018 results to third quarter 2017 results from continuing operations. Year-over-year financial discussions present operating results from continuing operations as reported, on an organic basis and on a constant dollar basis. Organic refers to changes in unit volume and price/mix performance and excludes acquisition and divestiture activity and the impact of currency translation. Constant dollar refers to changes in unit volume, price/mix performance and acquisition and divestiture activity and excludes the impact of currency translation. Additionally, non-U.S. GAAP adjusted financial measures, such as Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), Adjusted Net Earnings, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share ("Adjusted EPS") and Adjusted Tax Rate, exclude the impact of specified items ("Special Items"), such as restructuring charges, charges related to the sale of Diversey, gains and losses related to acquisition and divestiture of businesses, special tax items ("Tax Special Items") and certain other infrequent or one-time items. Please refer to the supplemental information included with this press release for a reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures.

Business Highlights
Food Care third quarter net sales of $727 million increased 1% as reported. Currency fluctuations had a negative impact on Food Care net sales of 5%, or $33 million. On a constant dollar basis, net sales increased 6%, including favorable price/mix of over 3% and volume growth of 3%. Adjusted EBITDA increased 4% to $145 million or 20% of net sales. Adjusted EBITDA performance was primarily due to favorable mix and price/cost spread, higher volumes and restructuring savings, partially offset by higher operating costs. Currency fluctuations had an $8 million unfavorable impact on Adjusted EBITDA.
Product Care third quarter net sales of $459 million increased 11% as reported. Currency fluctuations had a negative impact on Product Care net sales of 1%, or $6 million. On a constant dollar basis, net sales increased 12%, including 10%, or $42 million, from acquisitions and approximately 4% from favorable price/mix, partially offset by a 2% decline in volume. Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $76 million or 17% of net sales. Adjusted EBITDA was primarily impacted by lower volumes and higher operating costs, partially offset by favorable mix and price/cost spread and restructuring savings. Currency fluctuations had a $1 million unfavorable impact on Adjusted EBITDA.
From July 1, 2018 through October 31, 2018, Sealed Air repurchased approximately $121 million or 3.0 million shares bringing the total year to date share repurchases to approximately $603 million or 13.5 million shares. The Company has approximately $820 million remaining under the current share repurchase authorization.
The Company committed to a sustainability and plastics pledge to deliver 100% recyclable and reusable offerings by 2025 and became signatory of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's New Plastics Economy Global Commitment.
Third Quarter 2018 U.S. GAAP Summary
Net sales of $1.2 billion increased 5% on an as reported basis. Currency had a negative impact on total net sales of 3%, or $39 million.
Net earnings from continuing operations on an as reported basis was $76 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, which was unfavorably impacted by $21 million of special items, primarily related to $9 million of charges related to the sale of Diversey, $7 million of restructuring charges and other associated costs and $5 million related to acquisition and divestiture activity. This compares to net earnings in the third quarter 2017 of $63 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, which was unfavorably impacted by $24 million of special items, including $9 million of restructuring and other associated costs, $7 million related acquisition and divestiture activity and $5 million of Tax Special Items.
The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2018 was 30.6%, compared to 41.1% in the third quarter of 2017. The 2017 rate was negatively affected by tax expense related to the sale of Diversey.
Third Quarter 2018 Non-U.S. GAAP Summary
On a constant dollar basis, net sales increased 8% reflecting favorable price/mix of 4%, contribution from acquisitions of 4% and an increase in volume of 1%. By region, constant dollar sales increased 24% in Latin America, 18% in Asia Pacific, 6% in North America and 2% in EMEA.
Adjusted EBITDA was $219 million, or 18.5% of net sales in the third quarter of 2018 compared to $217 million, or 19.2% in 2017. Currency fluctuations had an unfavorable $7 million, or 3%, impact on Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2018.

Cash Flow and Net Debt
Cash flow provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was an inflow of $150 million, which includes the previously announced one-time payment of $42 million in lieu of future royalty payments and $45 million of payments related to the sale of Diversey and efforts to address related stranded costs.     
Capital expenditures were $115 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company had cash used in financing activities of $534 million related to share repurchases and cash dividends of $79 million.
Net Debt, defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents, increased to $3.4 billion as of September 30, 2018 from $2.7 billion as of December 31, 2017. The increase in Net Debt resulted from a use of cash related to working capital, acquisition activity and share repurchases.
Outlook for Full Year 2018
As provided on October 17, 2018, for the full year 2018, Sealed Air anticipates net sales to be approximately $4.7 billion, a constant dollar growth rate of approximately 6%.

Website Information
We routinely post important information for investors on our website, www.sealedair.com, in the Investors section. We use this website as a means of disclosing material, non-public information and for complying with our disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. Accordingly, investors should monitor the Investors section of our website, in addition to following our press releases, SEC filings, public conference calls, presentations and webcasts. The information contained on, or that may be accessed through, our website is not incorporated by reference into, and is not a part of, this document.
Non-U.S. GAAP Information
In this press release and supplement, we have included several non-U.S. 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 and Adjusted Tax Rate, as our management believes these measures are useful to investors. We present results and guidance, adjusted to exclude the effects of Special Items and their related tax impact that would otherwise be included under U.S. GAAP, to aid in comparisons with other periods or prior guidance. In addition, non-U.S. GAAP measures are used by management to review and analyze our operating performance and, along with other data, as internal measures for setting annual budgets and forecasts, assessing financial performance, providing guidance and comparing our financial performance with our peers and may also be used for purposes of determining incentive compensation. The non-U.S. GAAP information has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP information. It does not purport to represent any similarly titled U.S. GAAP information and is not an indicator of our performance under U.S. GAAP. Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures that we present may not be comparable with similarly titled measures used by others. Investors are cautioned against placing undue reliance on these non-U.S. GAAP measures. For a reconciliation of these U.S. GAAP measures to non-U.S. GAAP measures and other important information on our use of non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, see the attached supplementary information entitled “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows” (under the section entitled “Non-U.S. GAAP Free Cash Flow”), “Reconciliation of Net Earnings and Net Earnings Per Common Share to Non-U.S. GAAP Adjusted Net Earnings and Non-U.S. GAAP Adjusted Net Earnings Per Common Share,” “Reconciliation of Net Earnings to Non-U.S. GAAP Total Company Adjusted EBITDA,” “Components of Change in Net Sales by Segment” and “Components of Change in Net Sales by Region.” Information reconciling forward-looking U.S. GAAP measures to non-U.S. GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort.
We have not provided guidance for the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, as they are not available without unreasonable effort due to the high variability, complexity, and low visibility with respect to certain Special Items, including restructuring charges, gains and losses related to acquisition and divestiture of businesses, the ultimate outcome of certain legal or tax proceedings, and other unusual gains and losses. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to our results computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Due to the adoption of ASU 2017-07, certain amounts related to defined benefit and other post-employment benefit plans were reclassified from cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses to other (expense) income, net. The total impact for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $14.5 million and $15.9 million, respectively.
(3) 
As part of our review of costs included in the corporate segment, amounts related to division operations were identified and reclassified out of other (expense) income, net to cost of sales. This resulted in a reclassification of $2.1 million and $5.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

(1) 
The supplementary information included in this press release for 2018 is preliminary and subject to change prior to the filing of our upcoming Quarterly report on Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(2) 
Our price/mix reported above includes the net impact of our pricing actions and rebates as well as the period-to-period change in the mix of products sold. Also included in our reported price/mix is the net effect of some of our customers purchasing our products in non-U.S. dollar or euro-denominated countries at selling prices denominated in U.S. dollars or euros. This primarily arises when we export products from the U.S. and euro-zone countries.
(3) 
Total organic change is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure which excludes acquisition and divestiture activity and the impact of foreign currency translation. Total constant dollar change is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure which excludes the impact of foreign currency translation. Since we are a U.S. domiciled company, we translate our foreign currency denominated financial results into U.S. dollars. Due to changes in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, translating our financial results from foreign currencies to U.S. dollars may result in a favorable or unfavorable impact. It is important that we consider the effects of foreign currency translation when we view our results and plan our strategies. Nonetheless, we cannot control changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Consequently, when our management looks at our financial results to measure the core performance of our business, we exclude the impact of foreign currency translation by translating our current period results at prior period foreign currency exchange rates. We also may exclude the impact of foreign currency translation when making incentive compensation determinations. As a result, our management believes that these presentations are useful internally and may be useful to our investors.

Our price/mix reported above includes the net impact of our pricing actions and rebates as well as the period-to-period change in the mix of products sold. Also included in our reported price/mix is the net effect of some of our customers purchasing our products in non-U.S. dollar or euro-denominated countries at selling prices denominated in U.S. dollars or euros. This primarily arises when we export products from the U.S. and euro-zone countries.

Total organic change is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure which excludes acquisition and divestiture activity and the impact of foreign currency translation. Total constant dollar change is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure which excludes the impact of foreign currency translation. Since we are a U.S. domiciled company, we translate our foreign currency denominated financial results into U.S. dollars. Due to changes in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, translating our financial results from foreign currencies to U.S. dollars may result in a favorable or unfavorable impact. It is important that we take into account the effects of

foreign currency translation when we view our results and plan our strategies. Nonetheless, we cannot control changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Consequently, when our management looks at our financial results to measure the core performance of our business, we exclude the impact of foreign currency translation by translating our current period results at prior period foreign currency exchange rates. We also may exclude the impact of foreign currency translation when making incentive compensation determinations. As a result, our management believes that these presentations are useful internally and may be useful to our investors.
