Primo Water Announces Second Quarter Financial Results
Company Achieves Profitability of $0.03 per Diluted Share
Sales and Adjusted EBITDA Exceed Company Guidance
Outlook Raised for Fiscal 2015
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., August 4, 2015 -- Primo Water Corporation (Nasdaq: PRMW), a leading provider of multi-gallon purified bottled water, self-service refill water and water dispensers, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015.
Second Quarter Business Highlights:
| · | Total net sales increased 20.7% to $32.4 million, exceeding Company guidance |
| · | Water segment net sales increased 29.3% to $22.1 million driven by the addition of retail locations and by U.S. Exchange same-store sales growth of 8.7% |
| · | Adjusted EBITDA increased 48.4% to $4.4 million, exceeding Company guidance |
| · | Company achieved earnings from continuing operations of $0.03 per diluted share compared to a loss of ($0.25) per share from continuing operations |
(All comparisons above are with respect to the second quarter of 2014)
“Strong top-line sales drove profitable growth in the second quarter,” commented Billy D. Prim, Primo Water’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our team’s solid execution of our key strategies helped us grow same-store sales in the quarter through the continued addition of more households using our dispensers. Looking to the remainder of 2015, we expect this momentum to create further growth opportunities in our exchange and refill businesses.”
1
Second Quarter Results
Net sales increased 20.7% to $32.4 million from $26.9 million in the prior year quarter, driven by an increase in both Water and Dispenser segment net sales.
Water segment net sales increased 29.3% to $22.1 million compared to $17.1 million in the prior year quarter. Sales in the Water segment consist of the sale of multi-gallon purified bottled water (“Exchange”) and self-service refill water (“Refill”). The increase in Water net sales was primarily due to a 48.3% increase in U.S. Exchange sales, which was driven by the addition of retail locations and same-store unit growth of 8.7% compared to the prior year quarter. Dispenser segment net sales increased 5.5% to $10.3 million compared to $9.8 million in the prior year quarter.
Gross margin percentage increased slightly to 25.3% from 25.2% in the prior year quarter. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased slightly to $4.3 million from $4.4 million in the prior year quarter. Interest expense decreased 87.3% to $0.5 million from $4.0 million in the prior year quarter, due to more favorable borrowing rates under the Company’s credit facility entered into on June 20, 2014, as well as one-time charges of $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2014 related to refinancing.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 48.4% to $4.4 million from $3.0 million in the prior year quarter, driven by the increase in net sales in both the Water and Dispenser segments. The U.S. GAAP net income from continuing operations was $0.8 million, or $0.03 per share, compared to a net loss of ($6.2) million, or ($0.25) per share, for the prior year quarter.
Outlook
The Company raised its full year 2015 outlook. Net sales are now expected to be in the range of $122.8 to $124.8 million and adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $15.8 to $16.8 million.
The Company expects third quarter 2015 net sales in the range of $31.5 to $32.5 million and adjusted EBITDA in the range of $4.7 to $4.9 million.
Conference Call and Webcast
The Company will host a conference call to discuss these matters at 4:30 p.m. ET today, August 4, 2015. Participants from the Company will be Billy D. Prim, Chief Executive Officer, Matt Sheehan, President and Chief Operating Officer, and Mark Castaneda, Chief Financial Officer.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained herein are not based on historical fact and are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the applicable securities laws and regulations. These statements include the Company’s financial guidance and the expectation that its momentum will create further growth opportunities in the exchange and refill businesses. These statements can otherwise be identified by the use of words such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "feel," "forecast," "intend," "may," "plan," "potential," "project," "should," "would,” “will,” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Owing to the uncertainties inherent in forward-looking statements, actual results could differ materially from those stated herein. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the failure to achieve the incremental net sales or reduced distribution costs associated with strategic alliance agreement with DS Services of America, Inc., adverse changes in the Company's relationships with its other independent bottlers, distributors and suppliers, the loss of major retail customers of the Company or the reduction in volume or change in timing of purchases by major retail customers, lower than anticipated consumer and retailer acceptance of and demand for the Company's products and services, the entry of a competitor with greater resources into the marketplace, competition and other business conditions in the water and water dispenser industries in general, the Company’s experiencing product liability, product recall or higher than anticipated rates of sales returns associated with product quality or safety issues, the loss of key Company personnel, changes in the regulatory framework governing the Company's business, the Company's inability to efficiently expand operations and capacity to meet growth, the Company's inability to develop, introduce and produce new product offerings within the anticipated timeframe or at all, the Company’s inability to comply with its covenants in its credit facility, significant liabilities or costs associated with litigation or other legal proceedings, as well as other risks described more fully in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 16, 2015 and its subsequent filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements reflect management's analysis as of the date of this press release. The Company does not undertake to revise these statements to reflect subsequent developments, other than in its regular, quarterly earnings releases or as otherwise required by applicable securities laws.

Use of Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement its financial statements, the Company provides investors with information related to adjusted EBITDA and pro forma fully taxed net income (loss) from continuing operations, which are not financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as income (loss) from continuing operations before depreciation and amortization; interest expense; non-cash, stock-based compensation expense; non-recurring costs; and loss on disposal and impairment of property and equipment and other. Pro forma fully taxed net income (loss) from continuing operations is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations less non-cash stock-based compensation expense, non-recurring costs, loss on disposal and impairment of property and equipment and debt refinancing costs as adjusted on a pro forma basis for the full effect of income taxes. The Company believes these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Management uses these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures to compare the Company's performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses and planning purposes. These non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are also presented to the Company’s board of directors and adjusted EBITDA is used in its credit agreements.
Non-U.S. GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-U.S. GAAP measures exclude significant expenses that are required by U.S. GAAP to be recorded in the Company's financial statements and are subject to inherent limitations.
