FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains certain statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us, may include projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth strategies, anticipated trends in our business and anticipated growth in the markets served by our business. These statements are only predictions based on our current expectations and projections about future events. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results, level of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including those factors discussed under the caption entitled “Risk Factors” section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. You should specifically consider these numerous risks. These risks include, among others, those related to:

fluctuations in raw material, energy and freight costs;

labor shortages and increased labor costs;
failure to maintain satisfactory relationships with our major customers;

our dependence on suppliers of raw materials and any interruption to our supply of raw materials;
the macroeconomic environment globally and in North America, including higher rates of inflation and the risk of recession;
the restructuring of our Beverage Merchandising operations;
the impact of natural disasters, public health crises and catastrophic events outside of our control;
our ability to successfully complete acquisitions, divestitures, investments and other similar transactions that we pursue from time to time;
our ability to realize the benefits of our capital investment, acquisitions, restructuring and other cost savings programs;
our safety performance;
competition in the markets in which we operate;
changes in consumer lifestyle, eating habits, nutritional preferences and health-related, environmental and sustainability concerns;
the impact of our significant debt on our financial condition and ability to operate our business;
compliance with, and liabilities related to, applicable laws and regulations; and
the ownership of a majority of the voting power of our common stock by our parent company Packaging Finance Limited, which we refer to as PFL, an entity beneficially owned by Mr. Graeme Hart.

Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. We are under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this report to conform our prior statements to actual results or revised expectations.

Note 1 -1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation


The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the accounts of Pactiv Evergreen Inc. ("PTVE"(“PTVE”) (formerly known as Reynolds Group Holdings Limited) and its subsidiaries (“we”, “us”, “our” or the "Company").


We are a manufacturer and supplier of fresh food and beverage packaging products, primarily in North America. We report our business in 3 reportable segments: Foodservice, Food Merchandising and Beverage Merchandising. Our Foodservice segment manufactures a broad range of products that enable consumers to eat and drink where they want and when they want with convenience. Our Food Merchandising segment manufactures products that protect and attractively display food while preserving freshness. Our Beverage Merchandising segment manufactures cartons for fresh refrigerated beverage products, primarily serving dairy (including plant-based, organic and specialties), juice and other specialty beverage end-markets.

On September 21, 2020, we completed the initial public offering ("IPO"“Company”) of our common stock pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-248250).

Prior to the closing of the IPO, we completed the following transactions which resulted in changes to our common stock and issued and outstanding shares:
On September 16, 2020, the distribution of all of our shares in GPCI to PFL in consideration for the buy-back of 14,036,726 of our outstanding shares;
On September 17, 2020, the conversion of Reynolds Group Holdings Limited into PTVE, a corporation incorporated in the state of Delaware, with 1,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding; and
On September 21, 2020, the consummation of a stock split pursuant to which each share of our outstanding common stock was reclassified into 134,408 shares of common stock, resulting in 134,408,000 shares issued and outstanding.
These transactions have been retrospectively reflected for all periods presented.

In the IPO, we sold 41,026,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $14.00 per share, with net proceeds of $546 million. On October 20, 2020, we sold 1,723,710 shares of common stock to the underwriters pursuant to their option to purchase additional shares at the public offering price of $14.00 per share, with net proceeds of $23 million.

These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and presented in U.S. dollars. They have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant toin accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”(the “SEC”) for interim financial information.. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

Our condensed consolidated financial statementsmanagement, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods and should be read in conjunction with ourthe consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which include a complete set of footnote disclosures, including our significant accounting policies. In our opinion, these condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary2022 filed with the SEC on March 7, 2023.

However, our results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscalthe year or for any other future period.ending December 31, 2023. All intercompany accountstransactions and transactionsbalances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Unless otherwise indicated, information in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements relates to our continuing operations. Certain of our operations have been presented as discontinued. We present businesses that represent components as discontinued operations when the components either meet the criteria as held for sale or are sold or distributed, and their expected or actual disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on our operations and financial results. As discussed in Note 3 - Discontinued Operations, the assets, liabilities, results of operations and supplemental cash flow information of substantially all of our Closures business, sold in December 2019, all of our former Reynolds Consumer Products ("RCP") segment, distributed in February 2020, and all of our former Graham Packaging ("GPC") segment, distributed in September 2020, are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Sales from our continuing operations to our discontinued operations previously eliminated in consolidation have been recast as external revenues and are included in net revenues within operating income from continuing operations.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Although our current estimates contemplate current conditions and how we expect them to change in the future, as appropriate, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could differ from what was anticipated in those estimates, which could materially affect our results of operations, balance sheet and balance sheet.cash flows. Among other effects, such changes could result in future impairments of goodwill, intangibles and long-lived assets, and adjustments to reserves for employee benefits and income taxes.

The estimated recoverable amounts associated with asset impairments recognized in all periods presented represents arepresent Level 3 measurementmeasurements in the fair value hierarchy, which includesinclude inputs that are not based on observable market data.


Although our current estimates contemplate current conditions and how

Revision to Restricted Cash

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we expect them to change inrevised the future, as appropriate, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could differ from what was anticipated in those estimates, which could materially affect our resultspresentation of operations and financial condition. For example, the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic has had, and will continue to have, a significant impact on our results of operations, and it may also have additional far-reaching impacts on many aspects of our operations including the impact on customer behaviors, business and manufacturing operations, our employees, and the market in general. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, financial condition, results of operations,restricted cash flows and liquidity may differ from management’s current estimates due to inherent uncertainties regarding the duration and further spread of the outbreak, actions taken to contain the virus, as well as, how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.


Share Repurchases
When accounting for a share repurchase and retirement of shares, including in connection with transactions that are deemed to be a reverse stock split, we record the repurchase as a reduction of common stock and additional paid in capital. The reduction in common stock represents the par value of the canceled shares, and the reduction in additional paid in capital is the lower of the excess of the repurchase amount over the par value of the repurchased shares or the pro rata portion of additional paid in capital, based on the number of shares retired as a percentage of total shares outstanding prior to the repurchase. Any residual excess of the repurchase amount over the reduction in additional paid in capital is presented as a reduction to retained earnings.

Variable Interest Entities
Until termination of our $450 million securitization facility (the “Securitization Facility”) in July 2020, we had a variable interest in 1 variable interest entity ("VIE") related to our non-recourse factoring arrangements in which receivables were sold from certain of our operations to a special purpose trust (“SPE”) in exchange for cash. We were the sole beneficiary of the SPE. The SPE was considered to be a VIE and we were its primary beneficiary as we had the power to direct its activities and the right to receive its benefits. Prior to July 2020, we consolidated the results, assets and liabilities of this SPE for all periods presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements. As a result of consolidating the SPE, we continued to recognize the trade receivables and external borrowings of this entity with carrying values of $789 million (including $469 million presented within assets held for sale or distribution) and $420 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2019. The obligations of the SPE were non-recourse to us and only the assets of the SPE could be used to settle those obligations.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2019-04, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Financial Instruments - Codification Improvements (Topic 825), ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Targeted Transition Relief (Topic 326), ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) and ASU 2020-03, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments. These ASUs modify the impairment model to use an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology, which may result in earlier recognition of losses related to financial instruments. These ASUs are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted, and require a cumulative effect adjustment to the balance sheet upon adoption. We adopted these standards on January 1, 2020 and they had no material impactbalances on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2020 and it had no material impact onbalance sheets or our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxesstatements of income (loss), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting forcomprehensive income taxes. This ASU removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted.

This ASU provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. This ASU is effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through the end of calendar year 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact and whether we plan to adopt the optional expedients and exceptions provided under this new standard.


We reviewed all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they were either not applicable or not expected to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.


Note 3 - Discontinued Operations2. Dispositions

Beverage Merchandising Asia

On January 4, 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement with SIG Schweizerische Industrie-Gesellschaft GmbH to sell our carton packaging and filling machinery businesses in China, Korea and Taiwan (“Beverage Merchandising Asia”) included in the Food and Beverage Merchandising segment. The transaction closed on August 2, 2022, and we received proceeds of $336


Our discontinued operations comprise substantially all million. We recognized a gain on sale of our Closures business, all of our former RCP business and all of our former GPC business.

On$239 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019, we determined that our North American and Japanese closures businesses met2022 which was reflected in other income, net. The operations of Beverage Merchandising Asia did not meet the criteria to be classifiedpresented as a discontinued operation and, as a result, their historical financial results have been reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements as a discontinued operation. We ceased recording depreciation and amortization on these assets from September 30, 2019. We did not allocate any general corporate overhead to this discontinued operation. On December 20, 2019, we completed the sale of our North American and Japanese closures businesses to a third party. These operations represented substantially all of our Closures business. We received preliminary cash proceeds of $611 million. In June 2020, the post-closing adjustments were finalized and we received additional cash sale proceeds of $8 million.

On February 4, 2020, we distributed our interest in the operations that represented our former RCP business to our shareholder, PFL. The distribution was effected in a tax-free manner. The distribution occurred prior to and in preparation for the IPO of shares of common stock of RCPI ("RCPI IPO"), which was completed on February 4, 2020. To effect the distribution of RCP, we bought back 35,791,985 of our shares from PFL, in consideration of us transferring all of our shares in RCPI to PFL. Upon the distribution of RCPI to PFL, we determined that our former RCP business met the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation and, as a result, its historical financial results have been reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements as a discontinued operation and its assets and liabilities have been classified as assets and liabilities held for sale or distribution as of December 31, 2019. We did not allocate any general corporate overhead to this discontinued operation.

Immediately prior to its distribution and the RCPI IPO, RCP incurred $2,475 million of term loan borrowings under its new post-IPO credit facilities and $1,168 million of borrowings under an IPO settlement facility, which was subsequently repaid with the net proceeds from the RCPI IPO on February 4, 2020. We have not provided any guarantees or security in relation to RCP's external borrowings. The cash proceeds of the external borrowings, net of transaction costs and original issue discount, along with cash on-hand, were used to settle various intercompany balances between RCP and us.

In August 2020, GPCI entered into new external borrowings under which only GPC entities are borrowers, and incurred $1,985 million of external borrowings. We have not provided any guarantees or security in relation to GPC’s new external borrowings. The cash proceeds of the external borrowings, net of transaction costs and original issue discount, were used to settle various intercompany balances between GPC and us, and the remaining cash balance was distributed to us.

On September 16, 2020, we distributed our interest in the operations that represented our former GPC business to our shareholder, PFL. The distribution was effected in a tax-free manner. The distribution occurred prior to and in preparation for our IPO, which was completed on September 21, 2020. To effect the distribution of GPC, we bought back 14,036,726 of our shares from PFL, in consideration of us transferring all of our shares in GPCI to PFL. Upon the distribution of GPCI to PFL, we determined that our former GPC business met the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation and, as a result, its historical financial results have been reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements as a discontinued operation and its assets and liabilities have been classified as assets and liabilities held for sale or distribution as of December 31, 2019. We did not allocate any general corporate overhead to this discontinued operation.

The income tax provision related to our discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was not materially impacted by the new provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act and thus was attributed a disproportionately higher estimated annualized effective rate. This interim tax expense will largely reverse during the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2020.

The (loss) income from discontinued operations includes depreciation and amortization expenses of $52$2 million and $97$13 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $178 million and $286 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The (loss) income from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 includes asset impairment charges of $1 million, $2 million, $9 million and $25 million, respectively, and restructuring and other related charges of $3 million, $11 million, $5 million and $7 million, respectively, arising from the ongoing rationalization of GPC's manufacturing footprint, which are included in restructuring, asset impairment and other related charges in the above table.

The income from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 includes a goodwill impairment charge of $9 million arising from the assessment of the recoverable amount of goodwill for our closures reporting unit as well as an asset impairment charge of $31 million relating to the write-down of the closures disposal group to its estimated recoverable amount, which is included in restructuring, asset impairment and other related charges in the above table.

We have no significant continuing involvement in relation to the sold North American and Japanese closures businesses or GPC.

During the third quarter of 2023, we committed to a plan to sell certain properties within our Foodservice and Food and Beverage Merchandising segments. As a result, we classified the related assets as held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023. We expect to recognize an immaterial gain upon the sale of these properties.

Note 3. Restructuring, Asset Impairment and Other Related Charges

On March 6, 2023, we announced the Beverage Merchandising Restructuring, a plan approved by our Board of Directors to take significant restructuring actions related to our Beverage Merchandising operations. The Beverage Merchandising Restructuring includes, among other things:

Closure of our Canton, North Carolina mill, including the cessation of mill operations, during the second quarter of 2023;
Closure of our Olmsted Falls, Ohio converting facility and concurrent reallocation of production to our remaining converting facilities during the second quarter of 2023; and
Reorganizing our operating and reporting structure to achieve increased efficiencies and related cost savings.

The Beverage Merchandising Restructuring resulted in a workforce reduction of approximately 1,300 employees. We also continue to explore strategic alternatives for our Pine Bluff, Arkansas mill and our Waynesville, North Carolina facility. We have not set a timetable in relation to this process.

As a result of the Beverage Merchandising Restructuring, we incurred charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was insignificant.

The following table summarizes the negative impact from current market conditions and outlook forchanges to our restructuring liability related to the operations of the remaining closures businesses. The estimated recoverable amounts, or fair value, were determined based on a capitalization of earnings methodology, using Adjusted EBITDA expected to be generated multiplied by an earnings multiple. The key assumptions in developing Adjusted EBITDA include management’s assessment of future trends in the industry and are based on both external and internal sources. The forecasted 2021 Adjusted EBITDA for the remaining closures operations was prepared using certain key assumptions including selling prices, sales volumes and costs of raw materials. Earnings multiples reflect recent sale and purchase transactions and comparable company trading multiples in the same industry. These estimates represent a Level 3 measurement in the fair value hierarchy, which includes inputs that are not based on observable market data. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded $1 million in employee termination costs.

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded non-cash impairment charges of $54 million, primarily comprised of $29 million related to property, plant and equipment, $16 million for goodwill, $5 million related to operating lease right-of-use assets and $3 million for customer relationships, in our remaining closures businesses which are reported above in Other. Following these impairments, the remaining carrying values of property, plant and equipment, goodwill, operating lease right-of-use assets and customer relationships were $17 million, $6 million, $3 million and $4 million, respectively. The impairments arose as a result of various commercial dis-synergies triggered by the separation of these remaining businesses from the closures operations that were sold, as discussed in Note 3 - Discontinued Operations. The estimated recoverable amounts, or fair value, were determined based on a capitalization of earnings methodology, using Adjusted EBITDA expected to be generated multiplied by an earnings multiple. The key assumptions in developing Adjusted EBITDA include management’s assessment of future trends in the industry and are based on both external and internal sources.

The repayments were first applied to the remaining U.S term loans Tranche B-2 quarterly amortization payments, thereby eliminating all remaining quarterly amortization payments for the U.S term loans Tranche B-2, with the residual balance applied to the outstanding principal balance due at maturity.

On April 17, 2023, we amended the Credit Agreement, replacing the LIBOR-based reference rate with a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) based reference rate, effective for interest payments for the period commencing April 28, 2023. Other than the foregoing, the material terms of the Credit Agreement remain unchanged, and our election to use certain practical expedients under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 848: Reference Rate Reform resulted in no material impacts on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

On July 26, 2023, we further amended the Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date on our $250 million Revolving Tranche facility from August 5, 2024 to August 5, 2025. There were no other material changes to the terms of the Credit Agreement as a result of this amendment.

The new revolving credit facility replaced our existing $302 million revolving credit facility.

During October 2020, we repaid an aggregate of $3,400 million principal amount of borrowings from the net proceeds of our IPO, new borrowings described above and cash on hand. These repayments comprised:
$650 million of our 7.000% Notes, resulting in the extinguishment of these notes;
$1,470 million of our 5.125% Notes; and
$1,280 million of existing term loans maturing in February 2023.
These repayments will result in a loss of $51 million in respect of the write-off of unamortized deferred transaction costs and call premiums and third party fees recorded in the fourth quarter.

On October 23, 2020, we issued a redemption notice to redeem $70 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% Notes at a price of 101.281%. The redemption payment is scheduled to occur on November 23, 2020.

Assets pledged as security for borrowings
We, and certain of our subsidiaries, have pledged substantially all of our assets as collateral to support the obligations under the Credit Agreement and the 5.125% Notes.

Guarantee and security arrangements
All of the guarantors of the Credit Agreement have guaranteed the obligations under the notesNotes (as defined below) to the extent permitted by law.

The issuers and the guarantors have granted security over substantially all of their assets to support the obligations under the 5.125% Notes. This security is expected to be shared on a first priority basis with the creditors under the Credit Agreement.

Our derivatives compriseare comprised of commodity swaps and previously included interest rate swaps. All derivatives represent Level 2 financial assets and liabilities. Our derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the observable market index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount or based on pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as commodity prices.prices and interest rates. Our calculation of the fair value of these financial instruments takes into consideration the risk of non-performance, including counterparty credit risk. The majority of our derivative contracts do not have a legal right of set-off. We manage the credit risk in connection with our derivatives by limiting the amount of exposure with each counterparty and monitoring the financial condition of our counterparties.


During the fourth quarter of 2022, we entered into derivative financial instruments with several large financial institutions which swapped the LIBO rate for a weighted average fixed rate of 4.120% for an aggregate notional amount of $1,000 million to hedge a portion of the interest rate exposure resulting from our U.S. term loans. These instruments are classified as cash flow hedges and mature in October 2025. In April 2023, we amended our interest rate swap agreements to replace the interest rate benchmark from LIBOR to SOFR, effective for swap payments for the period commencing April 28, 2023. Other than the foregoing, the material terms of the interest rate swap agreements remain unchanged, including the weighted average fixed rate of 4.120%, and our election to use certain practical expedients under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 848: Reference Rate Reform resulted in no material impacts on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized an unrealized gain of $1 million in cost of sales, for our commodity swap contracts. There was no unrealized gain or loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 for our commodity swap contracts. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020,2022, we recognized unrealized gainslosses of $1$10 million and $3$4 million, respectively, compared to an unrealized loss of $1 million and an unrealized gain of $6 million in the comparable prior year periods, in cost of sales, infor our commodity swap contracts.

for our interest rate derivatives. At September 30, 2023, we expected to reclassify $9 million of gains, net of tax, from accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL”) to earnings over the next twelve months. The actual amount that will be reclassified to future earnings may vary from this amount as a result of changes in market conditions.

Pension Partial Settlement Transactions

On September 20, 2022 and February 24, 2022, using PPPE assets, we purchased non-participating group annuity contracts from insurance companies and transferred $656 million and $1,257 million, respectively, of the PPPE’s projected benefit obligations. In each instance, the respective insurance companies have assumed responsibility for pension benefits and annuity administration. These transactions resulted in 2020.the recognition of non-cash, pre-tax settlement gains.

Note 14 -12. Commitments and Contingencies


We are from time to time party to litigation, legal proceedings and tax examinations arising from our operations. Most of these matters involve allegations of damages against us relating to employment matters, personal injury and commercial or contractual disputes. We are also involved in various administrative and other proceedings relating to environmental matters that arise in the normal course of business, and we may become involved in similar matters in the future. We record estimates for claims and proceedings that constitute a present obligation when it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of such obligation can be made. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of any of these matters, based on our assessment of the facts and circumstances, we do not believe any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our balance sheet, results of operations or cash flows. However, actual outcomes may differ from those expected and could have a material effect on our balance sheet, results of operations or cash flows in a future period. Except for amounts provided, there were no legal proceedings pending other than those for which we have determined that the possibility of a material outflow is remote.


Indemnities

As part of the agreements for the sale of various businesses, we have provided certain warranties and indemnities to the respective purchasers as set out in the respective sale agreements. These warranties and indemnities are subject to various terms and conditions affecting the duration and total amount of the indemnities. As of September 30, 2020, we are not aware of any materialAny claims underpursuant to these agreements that would give rise to an additional liability. However,warranties and indemnities, if such claims arise in the future, theysuccessful, could have a material effect on our balance sheet, results of operations andor cash flows.


We previously disclosed a contingency for the payment of a management fee to related parties of up to $22 million in respect of the 2009 and 2010 financial years. This management fee has now been recognized and paid in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. Refer to Note

18 - Related Party Transactions for further information.

Net actuarial gain arising during the three months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to an increase in the discount rate utilized in measuring plan obligations, reflecting changes in market rates, partially offset by asset returns. Net actuarial loss arising during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to asset returns, partially offset by an increase in the discount rate utilized in measuring plan obligations, reflecting changes in market rates.

Note 16 -14. Income Taxes


The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20202023 and 20192022 represent our estimate of the annual effective tax rates expected to be applicable for the respective full fiscal years, adjusted for any discrete events which are recorded in the period that they occur.


During the three months ended September 30, 2020,2023, we recognized a tax expense of $42$22 million on income from continuing operations before tax of $50 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized a tax benefit of $5 million on a loss from continuing operations before tax of $101 million. This effective tax rate was primarily attributable to a $105 million discrete adjustment to increase our valuation allowance for deferred interest deductions. The increase in the valuation allowance reflects the reassessment of the recoverability of our deferred interest deductions following the distribution of Graham Packaging in September 2020.


During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized a tax benefit of $95 million on a loss from continuing operations before tax of $123$249 million. The effective tax rate isfor the aforementioned periods was driven primarily attributableby the inability to recognize a tax benefit on all interest expense.

The year to date effective tax rate also includes a $132 million return to provision benefit from our 2019 federal return, partially offset by a $105 million discrete adjustment for additional valuation allowance. The return to provision benefit was primarily attributable to the retroactive provisions of the CARES Act, enabling the utilization of additional deferred interest deductions. The increase in the valuation allowance reflects the reassessment of the recoverability of our deferred interest deductions following the distribution of Graham Packaging in September 2020.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019,2022, we recognized 0a tax expense of $79 million on a lossincome from continuing operations before tax of $35$254 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019,2022, we recognized a tax expense of $16$160 million on a lossincome from continuing operations before tax of $84$452 million. The effective tax rates in each period wererate for the aforementioned periods was primarily attributabledriven by the inability to additional valuation allowances, mainly in relation to the deductibility of deferredrecognize a tax benefit on all interest expense and the mixtax impacts from the sales of bookour businesses.

We are under audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other taxing authorities. The IRS is currently auditing our U.S. income and losses among the jurisdictions in which we operate. The tax expense during the three months endedreturns for 2016-2017. As of September 30, 2019, was offset by2023, we have not received any proposed adjustments from taxing authorities that would be material.

Note 17 - Segment Information

ASC 280 Segment Reporting establishes the standards for reporting information about segments in financial statements. In applying the criteria set forth in ASC 280 and in conjunction with the distribution of our former RCP segment, as of March 31, 2020, we realigned our reportable segments. As a result of this realignment and the GPC distribution on September 16, 2020, we now have 3 reportable segments: Foodservice, Food Merchandising and Beverage Merchandising. These reportable segments reflect the change in our operating structure and the manner in which our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) assesses information for decision-making purposes.

The key factors used to identify these reportable segments are the organization and alignment of our internal operations and the nature of our products. This reflects how our CODM monitors performance, allocates capital and makes strategic and operational decisions. Our reportable segments are described as follows:

Foodservice
Foodservice manufactures a broad range of products that enable consumers to eat and drink where they want and when they want with convenience. Foodservice manufactures food containers, hot and cold cups and lids, tableware itemsassessments and other products which make eating on-the-go more enjoyable and easy to do.events.


Food Merchandising
Food Merchandising manufactures products that protect and attractively display food while preserving freshness. Food Merchandising products include clear rigid-display containers, containers for prepared and ready-to-eat food, trays for meat and poultry and molded fiber cartons.

Beverage Merchandising
Beverage Merchandising manufactures cartons for fresh refrigerated beverage products, primarily serving dairy (including plant-based, organic and specialties), juice and other specialty beverage end-markets. Beverage Merchandising manufactures and supplies integrated fresh carton systems, which include printed cartons, spouts and filling machinery. It also produces fiber-based liquid

packaging board for its internal requirements and to sell to other fresh beverage carton manufacturers, as well as a range of paper-based products which it sells to paper and packaging converters.

Other
In addition to our reportable segments, we have other operating segments that do not meet the threshold for presentation as a reportable segment. These operating segments include the remaining components of our former closures business, which generate revenue from the sale of caps and closures, and are presented as Other in the reconciliation between total reportable segment amounts and the equivalent consolidated measure.

Unallocated
Unallocated includes corporate costs, primarily relating to companywide functions such as finance, tax and legal and the effects of the PEPP.

Information by Segment
We present reportable segment adjusted EBITDA ("Adjusted EBITDA") as this is the financial measure by which management and our CODM allocate resources and analyze the performance of our reportable segments.

Adjusted EBITDA represents each segment's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization and is further adjusted to exclude certain items of a significant or unusual nature, including but not limited to, foreign exchange gains or losses on cash, related party management fees, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives, gains or losses on the sale of businesses and noncurrent assets, impairment charges, restructuring, asset impairment and other related charges, operational process engineering-related consultancy costs, non-cash pension income or expense and strategic review and transaction-related costs.

Segment reportable assets represent trade receivables, inventory and property, plant and equipment.

We sell and purchase various goods and services with Reynolds Consumer Products Inc. (“RCPI”) under contractual arrangements that expire over a variety of periods through December 31, 2027. During the first quarter of 2023, we amended these contractual arrangements with RCPI, which, among other things, extended the expiration date for certain arrangements and included price adjustments for certain goods we sold to and purchased from RCPI in the current and prior periods. The price adjustments resulted in $22 million of incremental net revenues and $9 million of incremental costs of goods sold recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Restricted Stock Units

During 2019 and 2020, in anticipation of our IPO,the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we granted 297,296 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to certain members of management which included a performance condition that required the Company to complete an IPO. Certain of these RSUs vest over three years, with one-third of an employee’s RSUs vesting on each anniversary from the dateand certain members of our IPO, subjectBoard of Directors. These RSUs require future service to be provided and vest in annual installments over a period ranging from one to three years beginning on the employee’s continued employment through the applicable vesting date. The remaining portionfirst anniversary of the grant date. During the vesting period, the RSUs vestscarry dividend-equivalent rights, but the RSUs do not have voting rights. The RSUs and any related dividend-equivalent rights are forfeited in the event the holder is no longer an employee on December 31, 2021, subjectthe vesting date, unless the holder satisfies certain retirement-eligibility criteria.

Performance Share Units

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.2023, we granted performance share units (���PSUs”) to certain members of management which vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. Based on the achievement of a company performance target during a performance period set by our Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, upon vesting, the PSUs are exchanged for a number of shares of common stock equal to the number of PSUs multiplied by a factor between 0% and 200%. We use our stock price on the grant date to estimate the fair value of our PSUs. We adjust the expense based on the likelihood of future achievement of performance metrics. If any of the performance targets are not achieved, the awards are forfeited. During the vesting period, the PSUs carry dividend-equivalent rights, but the PSUs do not have voting rights. The PSUs and any related dividend-equivalent rights are forfeited in the event the holder is no longer an employee on the vesting date, unless the holder satisfies certain retirement-eligibility criteria.

Our discussion and analysis is intended to help the reader understand our results of operations and financial condition and is provided as an addition to, and should be read in connection with, our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


Description of the

Our Company and its Business Segments


We are a leading manufacturer and distributor of fresh foodservice and food merchandising products and fresh beverage cartons in North America. We produce a broad range of on-trend and feature-rich products that protect, package and display fresh food and beverages for consumers who wanttoday’s consumers. Our products include containers, drinkware (such as hot and cold cups and lids), cartons for fresh refrigerated beverage products, tableware, meat and poultry trays, liquid packaging board, serviceware, prepared food trays and egg cartons. Our products, many of which are made with recycled, recyclable or renewable materials, are sold to eat or drink fresh, prepared or ready-to-eat food and beverages conveniently and with confidence. We supply our products to a broad and diversified mix of companies,customers, including full service restaurants, (“FSRs”) and quick service restaurants (“QSRs”), foodservice distributors, supermarkets, grocery and healthy eating retailers, other food stores, food and beverage producers, packers and food processors.


Our operations consist

Change in Segments

In the second quarter of manufacturing2023, in conjunction with the Beverage Merchandising Restructuring, we implemented a new operating and selling products through three reportable segments organized across three broad categories:


Foodservice. Our Foodservice segment manufactures a broad range of products that enable consumers to eat and drink what they want, where they want and when they want with convenience. Products include food containers, hot and cold cups, lids, dinnerware and other products which make eating on-the-go more enjoyable and easy to do. Foodservice’s customer base includes chain restaurants, FSRs, established and emerging QSRs, distributors, institutional foodservice (e.g. airports, schools and hospitals) and convenience stores.

Food Merchandising. Our Food Merchandising segment manufactures products that protect and attractively display food while preserving freshness. Products include clear rigid-display containers, containers for prepared and ready-to-eat food, trays for meat and poultry and molded fiber cartons. Food Merchandising’s customers include supermarkets, grocery and healthy eating retailers and other food stores as well as meat, egg, agricultural and consumer packaged goods processors.

Beverage Merchandising. Our Beverage Merchandising segment manufactures cartons for fresh refrigerated beverage products, primarily serving dairy (including plant-based, organic and specialties), juice and other specialty beverage end-markets. Products include integrated fresh carton systems, which include printed cartons with high-impact graphics, spouts and filling machines. Beverage Merchandising also produces fiber-based liquid packaging board for its internal requirements and to sell to other fresh beverage carton manufacturers, as well as a range of paper-based products which it sells to paper and packaging converters. Beverage Merchandising’s customers include dairy, juice and specialty beverage producers, cup, plate and container manufacturers, and other beverage carton manufacturers.

Our Initial Public Offering and Corporate Reorganization

On September 21, 2020, we completed an initial public offeringreporting structure resulting in the combination of our common stock (“IPO”). legacy Food Merchandising and Beverage Merchandising segments, creating our Food and Beverage Merchandising segment. We also reorganized the management of certain product lines from our Foodservice segment to our Food and Beverage Merchandising segment.

As of the end of the second quarter of 2023, we analyzed the results of our business through our Foodservice and Food and Beverage Merchandising segments. All prior periods have been recast to reflect the current reportable segment structure and the change in the management of certain product lines.

In connectionaddition, we provided certain unaudited recast financial information for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the four quarters of the year ended December 31, 2022 and the three months ended March 31, 2023 in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the IPO,U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 16, 2020,August 2, 2023.

Refer to Note 3, Restructuring, Asset Impairment and Other Related Charges, and Note 18, Segment Information, for additional details.

Business Environment

During 2023, we distributed allexperienced a continued moderation in consumer demand for certain of our sharesproducts, primarily driven by sustained high levels of inflation and general macroeconomic uncertainty. While we have not seen a material economic contraction to-date, these pressures may continue to impact consumer demand and thus our customers’ purchasing decisions and order patterns throughout the remainder of 2023 and into 2024.

Our input costs have largely stabilized and have begun to moderate in Graham Packaging Company Inc.certain circumstances as compared to PFL,recent periods. We believe our sole shareholder, priorpricing strategy provides us with flexibility to completionmanage our market position through cost recovery mechanisms and strategic competitive pricing. In this dynamic environment, we remain focused on servicing our customers and improving manufacturing productivity across our business.

During the second quarter of the IPO (the “GPC Separation”). As a result of the GPC Separation, Graham Packaging Company Inc. and its subsidiaries have2023, we ceased to be wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. Following the IPO, we also completed following transactions:

On October 1, 2020 we issued $1,000 million aggregate principal amount of 4.000% Senior Secured Notes maturing on October 15, 2027 (“4.000% Notes”). The notes are guaranteed and secured on a senior basis by the same subsidiaries that guarantee and secure the obligations underoperations at our Credit AgreementCanton, North Carolina mill and our 5.125% Notes. The proceedsconverting facility in Olmsted Falls, Ohio, and production from the new notesOlmsted Falls facility was reallocated to other sites. We expect these actions will allow us to solidify our leadership position in large, growing end markets while prioritizing our distinctive core strengths.

Elevated interest rates, sustained high levels of inflation, geopolitical factors and the resulting volatility within the capital markets over the last year have created uncertainty with respect to the economic outlook. If economic conditions were used to repay indebtedness, as described below,deteriorate, a further decline in consumer spending may result, which could lead to a meaningful decline in demand for our products in the remainder of 2023 and paybeyond.

Recent Developments and Items Impacting Comparability

Beverage Merchandising Restructuring

On March 6, 2023, we announced the Beverage Merchandising Restructuring, a plan approved by our Board of Directors to take significant restructuring actions related transactionto our Beverage Merchandising operations. We expect these actions to increase our production efficiency, streamline our management structure and reduce our ongoing capital expenditures and overhead costs.

On October 1, 2020, we incurred $1,250 million of new term loans maturing on February 5, 2026

27


We expect that the Beverage Merchandising Restructuring will enable us to maintain our strong position in the liquid packaging market by increasing our overall productivity over time and obtained commitments for a new $250 million senior secured revolving credit facility maturing on August 5, 2024. The new term loans have an interest rate equal to one-month LIBOR with a 0.0% floor, plus a margin of 3.25% per annum. The proceedsoptimizing our manufacturing footprint. It also resulted in our exit from the new term loans were useduncoated freesheet paper market.

We also continue to refinanceexplore strategic alternatives for our Pine Bluff, Arkansas mill and our Waynesville, North Carolina facility. We have not set a portion of our existing term loans, as described below, andtimetable in relation to pay related transaction costs. this process.

The new revolving credit facility replaced our existing $302 million revolving credit facility.

During October 2020, we repaid an aggregate of $3,400 million principal amount of borrowings from the net proceeds of our IPO, new borrowings described above and cash on hand. These repayments comprised:
$650 million of our 7.000% Notes, resulting in the extinguishment of these notes;
$1,470 million of our 5.125% Notes; and

$1,280 million of existing term loans maturing in February 2023.

Impact of COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, which recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. Our operations sales, and, to a lesser extent, our supply chain have been impacted by the pandemic,Beverage Merchandising Restructuring did not qualify for presentation as discontinued operations.

Refer to Note 3, Restructuring, Asset Impairment and Other Related Charges, for additional details.

Dispositions

On January 4, 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement with SIG Schweizerische Industrie-Gesellschaft GmbH to sell Beverage Merchandising Asia. The transaction closed on August 2, 2022, and we expect that impactreceived proceeds of $336 million. We recognized a gain on sale of $239 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022. Sales of liquid packaging board to continue.


Although many jurisdictions have implemented, for various periodsour former Beverage Merchandising Asia operations, which were previously eliminated in consolidation, are recorded as external net revenues subsequent to the transaction’s completion.

During the third quarter of time, stay-at-home,2022, we committed to a plan to sell our remaining closures or similar measures designed to limit the spread of COVID-19, resultingbusinesses included in the temporary closingOther operating segment and recognized a charge to earnings of many$56 million within restructuring, asset impairment and other related charges. We completed the sale of a substantial portion of these businesses these orders include exemptionson October 31, 2022, and the remaining operations on March 1, 2023, all for “essential businesses.” Allan immaterial amount.

On March 29, 2022, we completed the sale of our operations fall within those exemptionsequity interests in Naturepak Beverage, our 50% joint venture with Naturepak Limited, to affiliates of Elopak ASA. We received proceeds of $47 million and have remained open. Somerecognized a gain on the sale of our facilities, however, operate in communities that have had high incident ratesequity interests of COVID-19, resulting in many persons out sick or in quarantine, which has impacted production at some plants. We have implemented several policies designed to protect our employees and our customers including screening employees for all symptoms of COVID-19 (including increased temperature checking), ensuring social distancing is observed, providing physical barriers and personal protective equipment where employees work closely together, tracking and tracing of COVID-19 positive employees to identify close contacts and locations frequented, engagement of third-party vendors to deep-clean and sanitize facilities and enhancing pay and leave policies to ensure employees experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 stay at home. While certain of these measures taken have increased our costs, we remain committed to adapting our policies and procedures to ensure the safety of our employees and compliance with federal, state and local regulations while the pandemic continues. We have taken actions to reduce non-essential spending, including the furlough of certain of our employees, reducing working capital in areas affected by lower sales and reducing non-essential capital spending.


The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact to our results of operations for$27 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, with the largest impact occurring in the second quarter2022.

None of these dispositions qualified for presentation as discontinued operations.

Pension Partial Settlement Transactions

On September 20, 2022 and toFebruary 24, 2022, using PPPE assets, we purchased non-participating group annuity contracts from insurance companies and transferred a lesser extent in the third quarter. Our Foodservice segment experienced a significant decline in net revenue due to the closure or reduced activity of restaurants and other food-serving institutions. Our Foodservice customers have adapted to COVID-19 restrictions and changes in consumer behavior by offering more take-out and online ordering options. Consistent with the easing of restrictions, towards the latter partportion of the second quarter of 2020PPPE’s projected benefit obligations. In each instance, the respective insurance companies have assumed responsibility for pension benefits and into the third quarter we experienced an increase in volumes and net revenues in our Foodservice segment. Our Food Merchandising segment has experienced a strong market demand for many of our products as people continue to eat more at home, while there has been a decline in demand for other products, such as bakery and snack containers typically used in many of the group gatherings that were either canceled or scaled back due to restrictions and concerns over COVID-19. Within our Beverage Merchandising segment, sales of fresh beverage cartons have remained relatively constant with declines in sales of school milk cartons being offset by higher demand in the retail segment, while sales in the paper markets have declined due to a decrease in demand of printed publications and advertising and demand for liquid packaging board has softened.


We expect that the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to negatively impact our results of operations in future periods as the macroeconomic environment changes and consumer behavior continues to evolve. However, the general effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to change and remain unpredictable. We make no assurances as to the future results of our business.

In facilities that manufacture, warehouse and distribute products with softening demand, we have taken measures to reduce spending and production accordingly. To date, we have not experienced significant issues within our supply chain, including the sourcing of materials and logistics service providers. However, this may change the longer the pandemic continues.

We believe the increased demand for certain of our products resultsannuity administration. The following table provides details regarding each transaction:

Non-GAAP Measures – Adjusted EBITDA from more people eating at home due to the pandemic. We cannot predict if, or for how long, such increased demand will continue. For those products with decreased demand, we do not expect to recover the sales lost during the pandemic, and certain industries we serve, primarily the restaurant industry, are experiencing severe impacts and may not return to pre-pandemic strength for a significant period of time. The duration of the COVID-19 pandemic remains unknown, and its ongoing impact on our operations may not be consistent with our experiences to date.


In addition, we have experienced volatility in the net liability for our pension plans, with the value of plan assets and liabilities impacted by changes in financial markets in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic.

As of September 30, 2020, we had $1,765 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand and $255 million available for drawing under our revolving credit facility. As of October 31, 2020, we had $493 million of cash and cash equivalents and $207 million available for drawing under our new revolving credit facility. We do not currently anticipate that the COVID-19 pandemic will materially impact our liquidity over the next 12 months.


At this time, we are unable to predict with any certainty the nature, timing or magnitude of any changes in future sales and/or earnings attributable to the spread of COVID-19. See “Risk Factors” in our final prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 18, 2020 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4).

CARES Act

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted in March 2020. Retroactive provisions of the CARES Act entitle us to utilize additional deferred interest deductions, which lower our taxable income for the year ended December 31, 2019. The CARES Act also increases the allowable interest deductions for the year ending December 31, 2020. We recognized a tax benefit in continuing operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 of $132 million which was primarily driven by adjusting our taxable income for the year ended December 31, 2019 as a result of the CARES Act.

How We Assess the Performance of Our Business and Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Continuing Operations

In addition to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, we make use of the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations in evaluatingto evaluate and manage our consolidated past resultsbusiness and our consolidated future prospects.


Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations

to plan and make near-term and long-term operating and strategic decisions.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is defined as net income (loss) from continuing operations calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus the sum of income tax expense, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization and further adjusted to exclude certain items, of a significant or unusual nature, including but not limited to foreign exchange gains or losses on cash,restructuring, asset impairment and other related party management fees, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives,charges, gains or losses on the sale of businesses and noncurrent assets, restructuring, asset impairment and other related charges,non-cash pension income or expense, operational process engineering-related consultancy costs, non-cash pension incomebusiness acquisition and integration costs and purchase accounting adjustments, unrealized gains or expenselosses on derivatives, foreign exchange gains or losses on cash and strategic review and transaction-related costs.


gains or losses on certain legal settlements.

We present Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations because it is a key measure used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions.decisions and incentivize and reward our employees. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management team and boardBoard of directors. Directors. We also believe that using Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis because it excludes variations primarily caused by changes in the items noted above.

28


In addition, our chief operating decision maker, who is our President and Chief Executive Officer, uses Adjusted EBITDA of each reportable segment to evaluate the operating performance of such segments.


Our use of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Instead, you should consider it alongside other financial performance measures, including our net income (loss) from continuing operations and other GAAP results. In addition, in evaluating Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses such as those that are the subject of adjustments made in deriving Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, and you should not infer from our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations that our future results will not be affected by these expenses or any unusual or non-recurring items. The following is a reconciliation of our net income (loss) from continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for each of the periods indicated:

As of September 30, 2020,2023, we had $5,225$3,632 million of total principal amount of borrowings. Refer to Note 8, Debt, for additional details. Of our total debt, $1,705 million is subject to variable interest rates, representing borrowings drawn under our Credit Agreement.

On April 17, 2023, we amended the Credit Agreement, replacing the LIBOR-based reference rate with a SOFR-based reference rate, effective for interest payments for the period commencing April 28, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the underlying one-month SOFR for amounts borrowed under our Credit Agreement was 5.43%.

On July 26, 2023, we further amended the Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date on our $250 million Revolving Tranche facility from August 5, 2024 to August 5, 2025. There were no other material changes to the terms of the Credit Agreement as a result of this report, which takesamendment.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we repaid an aggregate of $515 million of our U.S. term loans Tranche B-2.

During the fourth quarter of 2022, we entered into accountderivative financial instruments with large institutions that fixed the debt transactions occurringLIBO rate at a weighted average rate of 4.12% for an aggregate notional amount of $1,000 million to hedge a portion of the interest rate exposure resulting from our U.S. term loans and classified the instruments as cash flow hedges. Our cash flow hedge contracts mature in October 2025. During the second quarter of 2023, we amended our interest rate swap agreements, replacing the LIBOR-based reference rate with a SOFR-based reference rate, effective for swap payments for the period commencing April 28, 2023. The weighted average fixed rate of 4.12% for our interest rate swap agreements was unchanged as a result of these amendments.

Based on the one-month SOFR as of September 30, 2023, and expected to occur in November 2020 as described in Note 10 - Debt inincluding the impact of our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we had $4,005 million of total principal amount of borrowings, as follows:

Our 2020interest rate swap agreements, our 2023 annual cash interest obligations from continuing operations on our borrowings including borrowings that have been repaid, are expected to be approximately $285$257 million. We currently expect our interest expense on our borrowings, after taking into account the aforementioned October and November 2020 debt transactions, to be approximately $160 million for the fiscal year 2021. This assumes that interest on our floating rate debt continues to accrue at the current interest rates. As of September 30, 2020, the underlying one month LIBO rate for amounts under our Credit Agreement was 0.16%.

As of September 30, 2020, we had $1,765 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand and $255 million available for drawing under our revolving credit facility. As of October 31, 2020, we had $493 million of cash and cash equivalents and $207 million available for drawing under our new revolving credit facility. We believe that our existing cash resources, projected cash flows generated from operations together with our borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility are sufficient to fund our principal debt payments, interest expense, our working capital needs and our expected capital expenditures for the next 12 months. Our next significant near term maturity of borrowings is $1,207 million of U.S. term loans due in February 2023. We also have our first quarterly amortization principal payment of $3 million on our new term loan tranche due in March 2021. We currently

anticipate incurring between $240 million and $280 million of capital expenditures during fiscal year 2020 for continuing operations. We do not currently anticipate that the COVID-19 pandemic will materially impact our liquidity over the next 12 months.

(1)During October 2020, we repaid an aggregate of $3,400 million principal amount of borrowings and $28 million of accrued interest, which is presented in the one to three year and the three to five year columns in the above table. In addition, we issued a redemption notice to redeem $70 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% Notes with the payment scheduled to occur on November 23, 2020, which is presented in the one to three year column in the table above. For further details, refer to Note 10 - Debt of our interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for details regarding changes in our debt subsequent to September 30, 2020.
(2)During October 2020, we issued $1,000 million aggregate principal amount of 4.000% Senior Secured Notes maturing on October 15, 2027 and we incurred $1,250 million of new term loans maturing on February 5, 2026. The impact of these transactions are not presented in the table above. For further details, refer to Note 10 - Debt of our interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for details regarding changes in our debt subsequent to September 30, 2020.
(3)Total obligations for long-term debt consist of the principal amounts and interest obligations. The interest rate on our floating rate debt has been assumed to be the same as the rate in effect as of September 30, 2020, which was 0.16% in respect of the U.S. term loans under our Credit Agreement.

(4)Total repayments of operating leases exclude short-term leases which were not significant in the aggregate.

Except as noted above, there has been no other material changecapital expenditures and $54 million of dividends paid. These drivers of decreased liquidity were partially offset by net operating cash flows of $453 million during the same period. We currently anticipate cash payments of approximately $280 million for capital expenditures and approximately $120 million for restructuring charges during 2023.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our working capital decreased $474 million, or 36%, primarily due to our use of cash for $515 million of early debt repayments, capital expenditures and dividend payments, and reductions of our inventory levels which were partially offset by income from continuing operations. Our working capital position provides us the flexibility for further consideration of strategic initiatives, including reinvestment in our contractual obligationsbusiness and commitments since our fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. The ultimate timingdeleveraging of our liabilities for pensions and uncertain tax positions continues to be undeterminable and thereforebalance sheet. As a result, we may continue to utilize portions of our excess cash to repurchase certain amounts of our long-term debt prior to maturity depending on market conditions, among other factors.

Our ability to borrow under our revolving credit facility or to incur additional indebtedness may be excluded fromlimited by the table above. During October 2020, we made a $121 million contributionterms of such indebtedness or other indebtedness, including the Credit Agreement and the Notes. The Credit Agreement and the respective indentures governing the Notes generally allow our subsidiaries to transfer funds in the PEPP and do not expect to make additional contributions in 2020 toform of cash dividends, loans or advances within the PEPP. Future contributions will be dependent on future plan asset returns and interest rates and are highly sensitive to timing. See our final prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 18, 2020 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) for additional information regarding our contractual obligations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.


Interest Rate Risk

We had significant debt commitments outstanding as of September 30, 2020. These on-balance sheet financial instruments, to the extent they accrue interest at variable interest rates, expose us to interest rate risk. Our interest rate risk arises primarily on significant borrowings that are denominated in U.S. dollars drawn under our Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2020, the Credit Agreement included interest rate floors of 0.0% per annum on the U.S. term loan and the revolving loan.

The underlying rate for our Credit Agreement is the one-month LIBOR, and as of September 30, 2020, the applicable rate was 2.91%. Based on our outstanding debt commitments as of September 30, 2020, a one-year timeframe and all other variables remaining constant, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a $25 million increase in interest expense on the U.S. term loan under our Credit Agreement. A 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would result in a $4 million decrease in interest expense on the U.S. term loan under our Credit Agreement.

Interest rates may fluctuate if LIBOR ceases to exist or if new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established. See "Risk Factors—Certain of our long-term indebtedness bears interest at variable interest rates, primarily based on LIBOR, which may be subject to regulatory guidance and/or reform that could cause interest rates under our current or future debt agreements to fluctuate or cause other unanticipated consequences” in our final prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 18, 2020 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4).

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

As a result of our international operations, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk arising from sales, purchases, assets and borrowings that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of the respective entities. We are also exposed to foreign currency exchange risk on certain intercompany borrowings between certain of our entities with different functional currencies. In accordance with our treasury policy, we take advantage of natural offsets to the extent possible. On a limited basis, we use contracts to hedge residual foreign currency exchange risk arising from receipts and payments denominated in foreign currencies. We generally do not hedge our exposure to translation gains or losses in respect of our non-U.S. dollar functional currency assets or liabilities. Additionally, when considered appropriate, we may enter into forward exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency exchange risk arising from specific transactions. We had

There have been no foreign currency derivative contracts as of September 30, 2020.


Commodity Risk

We are exposed to commodity and other price risk principally from the purchase of resin, natural gas, electricity, raw wood, wood chips and diesel. We use various strategies to manage cost exposures on certain material purchases with the objective of obtaining more predictable costs for these commodities. We generally enter into commodity financial instruments or derivatives to hedge commodity prices related to resin (and its components), diesel and natural gas.

We enter into futures and swaps to reduce our exposure to commodity price fluctuations. These derivatives are implemented to either (a) mitigate the impact of the lag in timing between when material costs change and when we can pass through these changes to our customers or (b) fix our input costs for a period. Refer to Note 11 - Financial Instruments for details of our commodity derivative contracts as of September 30, 2020.

The fair values of commodity derivative contracts are derived from inputs based on quoted market prices or traded exchange market prices and representrisk during the estimated amounts that we would pay or receive to terminate the contracts. As of September 30, 2020, the estimated fair values of the outstanding commodity derivative contracts were a net liability less than $1 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized unrealized gains of $1 million2023. For additional information, refer to Item 7A, Quantitative and $3 million, respectively, in cost of salesQualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, in our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) related to commodity derivatives. A 10% upward (downward) movement in the price curve used to value the commodity derivative contracts, applied as of September 30, 2020, would have resulted in an immaterial change in the unrealized gains / losses recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss)Annual Report on Form 10-K for the three and nine monthsyear ended September 30, 2020, respectively, assuming all other variables remain constant.

Use of Proceeds

On September 21, 2020, we completed our IPO, in which we sold 41,026,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $14.00 per share for an aggregate price of approximately $574 million. We received net proceeds of $546 million in the IPO, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $25 million and other expenses of $3 million.

Additionally, on October 20, 2020, 1,723,710 shares of common stock were purchased by the underwriters pursuant to their option to purchase additional shares at a public offering price of $14.00 per share, which resulted in net proceeds of $23 million. There has been no material change in the use of proceeds from our IPO as described in our final prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 18, 2020 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4). None of the underwriting discounts and commissions or other expenses were paid directly or indirectly to any director, officer, or general partner of ours or to their associates, persons owning 10% or more of any class of our equity securities, or to any of our affiliates.
