Primo Water Reports Full-Year And Fourth Quarter 2023 Results
- Reports strong year-over-year growth in Revenue, Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Margins and Adjusted Free Cash Flow
- Completes previously announced transaction to sell significant portion of its International businesses for $575 million
- Successfully executes leadership transition and welcomes new CEO Robbert Rietbroek
- Issues first quarter and full year 2024 Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow guidance*
- Declares quarterly dividend of $0.09 per common share, a 13% increase over last year
TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 22, 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 full year and fourth quarter ended December 30, 2023.
“I am pleased with our performance, as our associates provided excellent service to our customers and strong financial results for our shareholders. Our full-year 2023 results exceeded the midpoint of our guidance for revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow for the combined continuing and discontinued operations,” said Robbert Rietbroek, Chief Executive Officer.
Mr. Rietbroek continued, “Given the strength of our businesses, we expect our first quarter 2024 outlook from continuing operations for revenue to be between $435 million and $445 million and adjusted EBITDA to be between $85 million and $91 million. Full year 2024 outlook from continuing operations for revenue is forecasted to be between $1.84 billion and $1.88 billion and Adjusted EBITDA to be between $402 million and $422 million. Full-year 2024 Adjusted Free Cash Flow from continuing operations is forecasted to be between $170 million and $180 million. These forecasts reflect the successful execution of the previously announced transaction to sell a significant portion of our international businesses. We intend to use the gross proceeds of $575 million from the sale to pursue growth, both organically and through tuck-in M&A, reduce leverage, and return capital to shareholders via share repurchases and dividends. As we move through 2024, we will sell the remainder of the international businesses, further improving our balance sheet and North American focus as we execute our vision and effectively deploy capital.”
“As the new CEO of Primo Water, I am excited to lead this premier, North American-focused, pure-play water company. Since joining in January, I have been engaging with our stakeholders and learning more about our company’s assets, resources and practices. We have a strong platform for growth with a unique value proposition with our bulk offerings in the large and growing water market, which gives me confidence in our future,” said Mr. Rietbroek.

*Please refer to the paragraph titled “Non-GAAP Measures” for the definitions of non-GAAP financial measures including “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted Free Cash Flow” and certain other non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release. Primo Water provides guidance for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow on a non-GAAP basis as we cannot predict certain elements which are included in reported GAAP results, including 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 could have a significant impact on the Company’s future GAAP financial results. For more information, please see the paragraph titled “Non-GAAP Measures” in this press release. |
FISCAL 2023 HIGHLIGHTS – CONTINUING OPERATIONS

QUARTERLY DIVIDEND
Primo Water announced that its Board of Directors declared a dividend of US$0.09 per share on common shares, payable in cash on March 25, 2024 to shareowners of record at the close of business on March 8, 2024.
SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
During 2023, Primo Water repurchased approximately 1.4 million common shares for approximately $21 million. Effective upon the closing of the sale of a significant portion of Primo Water’s International business, the share repurchase authorization was increased from $50 million to $75 million. Under the program, the Company’s common shares may be repurchased periodically in open market or privately negotiated transactions.
The actual timing, manner, number, and value of shares repurchased under the program will be determined by management at its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of Primo Water’s common shares, general market and economic conditions, applicable law and other requirements, and other business considerations, provided however that the price per common share will not exceed the market price as at the date of acquisition (plus reasonable brokerage fees and commissions) in accordance with applicable securities laws and exchange rules.
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 10,900 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 17,500 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 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 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 Q1 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.
