Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business:

Reynolds Consumer Products Inc. and its subsidiaries (“we”, “us” or “our”) produce and sell products across three broad categories: cooking products, waste & storage products and tableware. We sell our products under brands such as Reynolds and Hefty, and also under store brands. Our product portfolio includes aluminum foil, wraps, disposable bakeware, trash bags, food storage bags and disposable tableware. We report four business segments: Reynolds Cooking & Baking; Hefty Waste & Storage; Hefty Tableware; and Presto Products.

Basis of Presentation:

Prior to the completion of our Corporate Reorganization, as defined in our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-234731), and initial public offering (“IPO”) on February 4, 2020, we operated as part of Reynolds Group Holdings Limited (“RGHL”) and not as a stand-alone entity. We represented the business that was reported as the Reynolds Consumer Products segment in the consolidated financial statements of RGHL and its subsidiaries (collectively, “RGHL Group” or the “Parent”). In connection with its initial public offering, RGHL is now known as Pactiv Evergreen Inc. As part of our Corporate Reorganization, we reorganized the legal structure of our entities so they are all under a single parent entity, Reynolds Consumer Products Inc. In conjunction with our Corporate Reorganization and IPO, we separated from RGHL Group on February 4, 2020. We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for comprehensive annual financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures therein. In our opinion, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual operating results.

Our condensed consolidated statements of income include allocations of certain expenses for services provided by RGHL Group prior to our separation, including, but not limited to, general corporate expenses related to group wide functions including executive management, finance, legal, tax, information technology and a portion of a related party management fee incurred by RGHL Group. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, total costs allocated to us for these functions were zero and $2 million, respectively, compared to $9 million and $29 million in the comparable prior year periods. These costs were primarily included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, these amounts included costs of zero and $1 million, respectively, compared to $7 million and $17 million in the comparable prior year periods, that were not historically allocated to us as part of RGHL Group's normal monthly reporting process. Additionally, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 costs of zero and $2 million, respectively, compared to $11 million and $12 million in the comparable prior year periods, were allocated to us related to the IPO process that cannot be deferred and offset against the IPO proceeds, which are included in other expense, net in our condensed consolidated statements of income. All of these expenses have been allocated on a basis considered reasonable by management, using either specific identification, such as direct usage or headcount when identifiable, or proportional allocations determined with reference to time incurred, relative to revenues, or other reasonable methods of allocation. Amounts allocated on a proportional basis relate to certain corporate functions and are reflective of the time and effort expended in the provision of these corporate functions to us.

Initial Public Offering:

On February 4, 2020, we completed our separation from RGHL Group and the IPO of our common stock pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1. In the IPO, we sold an aggregate of 54,245,500 shares of common stock, including 7,075,500 shares of common stock purchased by the underwriters on February 7, 2020 pursuant to their option to purchase additional shares, under the Registration Statement at a public offering price of $26.00 per share.

In conjunction with our separation from RGHL Group and IPO, we reclassified RGHL Group’s historical net investment in us to additional paid-in capital. Each share of our outstanding common stock, immediately prior to our IPO, was exchanged into 155,455 shares of common stock. In addition, certain related party borrowings owed to RGHL Group were contributed as additional paid-in capital without the issuance of any additional shares.

Note 2 – New Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance:

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. This ASU and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance modify the impairment model to use an expected loss methodology in place of the previously used incurred loss methodology, which may result in earlier recognition of losses related to financial instruments. This change is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted, and requires a cumulative effect adjustment to the balance sheet upon adoption. We adopted these requirements as of January 1, 2020 with no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs for internal-use software. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the standard as of January 1, 2020 with no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Yet Adopted:

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans.  This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the requirements of this guidance, which is expected to impact our disclosures but is not expected to impact the measurement and recognition of amounts in our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for 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 beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Inventories

Inventories consisted of the following:

Note 4 – Debt

Long-term debt consisted of the following:

External Debt Facilities

In February 2020, we entered into new external debt facilities (“External Debt Facilities”), which consist of (i) a $2,475 million senior secured term loan facility (“Term Loan Facility”); and (ii) a $250 million senior secured revolving credit facility (“Revolving Facility”). In addition, on February 4, 2020 we entered into, and extinguished, a $1,168 million facility (“IPO Settlement Facility”). The proceeds from the Term Loan Facility and IPO Settlement Facility, net of transaction costs and original issue discounts, together with available cash, were used to repay accrued related party interest and a portion of the related party loans payable.

Borrowings under the External Debt Facilities bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either a base rate or a LIBO rate plus an applicable margin of 1.75%. During September 2020, we entered into a series of interest rate swaps to hedge a portion of the interest rate exposure resulting from these borrowings.  Refer to Note 6 – Financial Instruments for further details.

The External Debt Facilities contain a springing financial covenant requiring compliance with a ratio of first lien net indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA, applicable solely to the Revolving Facility. The financial covenant is tested on the last day of any fiscal quarter only if the aggregate principal amount of borrowings under the Revolving Facility and drawn but unreimbursed letters of credit exceed 35% of the total amount of commitments under the Revolving Facility on such day.

If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the External Debt Facilities are entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the External Debt Facilities and all actions permitted to be taken by secured creditors.

Term Loan Facility

The Term Loan Facility matures in February 2027. The Term Loan Facility amortizes in equal quarterly installments of $6 million, which commenced in June 2020, with the balance being payable on maturity. During the third quarter of 2020, we made a voluntary principal payment of $100 million related to our Term Loan Facility.

Revolving Facility

The Revolving Facility matures in February 2025 and includes a sub-facility for letters of credit. As of September 30, 2020, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility, and we had $7 million of letters of credit outstanding, which reduces the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility.

Reallocation of Borrowings Under the RGHL Group Credit Agreement

Amounts outstanding under the RGHL Group Credit Agreement were reallocated to an entity within RGHL Group and on February 4, 2020, we were fully and unconditionally released from the security and guarantee arrangements relating to RGHL Group’s borrowings.

Fair Value of Our Long-Term Debt

The fair value of our long-term debt as of September 30, 2020, which is a Level 2 fair value measurement, approximates the carrying value due to the variable market interest rate and the stability of our credit profile.

Note 5 – Income Taxes

Prior to our separation from RGHL Group and IPO, our U.S. operations were included in the U.S. federal consolidated and certain state and local tax returns filed by RGHL Group.  We also file certain separate U.S. state and local and foreign income tax returns. For the periods prior to separation, income tax (expense) benefit and deferred tax balances are presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements as if we filed tax returns on a stand-alone basis. Income tax payable balances as of December 31, 2019, were classified within “net parent deficit” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet since RGHL Group is legally liable for the tax. Upon separation from RGHL Group, becoming a separate taxable entity and the change from carve-out financial statements to consolidated financial statements, we have remeasured certain deferred taxes. These adjustments have been recognized directly in equity.

Our income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 incorporates an expected annualized effective tax rate of approximately 25% for both periods, excluding the impact of discrete items, compared to 24% and 25% in the comparable prior year periods. Our income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes an incremental discrete expense of $23 million due to the remeasurement of our deferred tax asset associated with the deductibility of interest expense as a result of the enactment, subsequent to our separation from RGHL Group, of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act on March 27, 2020. The retroactive components of the CARES Act are expected to change RGHL Group’s U.S. federal consolidated

tax return for the year ended December 31, 2019, which will reduce the benefits of future tax deductions that we received at the time of separation from RGHL Group.

Note 6 – Financial Instruments

Interest Rate Derivatives

During September 2020, we entered into a series of interest rate swaps which fixed the LIBO rate to an annual rate of 0.18% to 0.47% (for an effective interest rate of 1.93% to 2.22%, including margin) for an aggregate notional amount of $1,650 million to hedge a portion of the interest rate exposure resulting from our Term Loan Facility and classified these instruments as cash flow hedges. Our cash flow hedge contracts are for periods ranging from one to five years. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the open hedging instrument will be recorded in other comprehensive income and will be reclassified into earnings as interest expense, net when settled. The associated asset or liability on the open hedges is recorded at its fair value in other assets or other liabilities, as applicable.

Commodity Derivatives

Derivative commodity contracts were recorded at fair value in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and consisted of a liability of $1 million, recorded in accrued and other current liabilities, and an asset of $1 million, recorded in other current assets, as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Our commodity contracts are primarily commodity swaps and are all Level 2 financial assets and liabilities. Commodity derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the observable market commodity 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. 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.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized no unrealized gain or loss and an unrealized loss of $1 million, respectively, compared to unrealized gains of $1 million and $9 million in the comparable prior year periods, in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

The following table provides the detail of outstanding commodity derivative contracts as of September 30, 2020:

Note 7 – Stock-based Compensation

We granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) in July 2019 to certain members of management, pursuant to retention agreements entered into with these employees (the “IPO Grants”). These RSUs vest upon satisfaction of both a performance-based vesting condition (the “IPO Condition”) and a service-based vesting condition (the “Service Condition”). The IPO Condition was satisfied when we completed our IPO on February 4, 2020. The Service Condition will be satisfied with respect to one-third of an employee’s RSUs on each anniversary from the date of our IPO for three consecutive years, subject to the employee’s continued employment through the applicable vesting date.

In addition, in conjunction with our Corporate Reorganization and IPO, we have established a 2020 incentive award plan for purposes of granting stock-based compensation awards to certain of our senior management, our non-executive directors and to certain employees, to incentivize their performance and align their interests with ours. A maximum of 10.5 million shares of common stock are initially available for issuance under equity incentive awards granted pursuant to the plan. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, zero and 0.3 million shares were granted, respectively.

At September 30, 2020, there were stock-based compensation awards representing approximately 0.5 million shares outstanding. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, stock-based compensation expense was $1 million and $4 million, respectively, and zero in each of the comparable prior year periods.

Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings:

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 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 financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, actual outcomes may differ from those expected and could have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows in a future period.

As of September 30, 2020, there were no legal proceedings pending other than those for which we have determined that the possibility of a material outflow is remote.

Note 9 – Segment Reporting

We have four reportable segments - Reynolds Cooking & Baking, Hefty Waste & Storage, Hefty Tableware and Presto Products. 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 Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) monitors performance, allocates capital and makes strategic and operational decisions. We present 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 unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives, factoring discounts (pre-IPO), the allocated related party management fee (pre-IPO) and IPO and separation-related costs.
