Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

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 and 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:

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, 2021, 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.

Note 2 – New Accounting Standards

Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Yet Adopted:

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions to applying the guidance on contract modifications, hedge accounting, and other transactions, to simplify the accounting for transitioning from the London Interbank Offered Rate, and other interbank offered rates expected to be discontinued, to alternative reference rates. This ASU was effective upon its issuance and can be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. We are currently assessing the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Inventories

Inventories consisted of the following:

7

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”).

Borrowings under the External Debt Facilities bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either a base rate plus an applicable margin of 0.75% 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 5 – 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. We are currently in compliance with the covenants contained in our External Debt Facilities.

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 payable on maturity.

Revolving Facility

The Revolving Facility matures in February 2025 and includes a sub-facility for letters of credit. As of March 31, 2022, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility, and we had $8 million of letters of credit outstanding, which reduces the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility.

Fair Value of Our Long-Term Debt

The fair value of our long-term debt as of March 31, 2022, 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 - Financial Instruments

Interest Rate Derivatives

During 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 annual effective interest rate of 1.93% to 2.22%, including margin) for an aggregate notional amount of $1,650 million, of which $800 million notional value was still in effect as of March 31, 2022. These interest rate swaps hedge a portion of the interest rate exposure resulting from our Term Loan Facility. We classified these instruments as cash flow hedges. Our cash flow hedge contracts outstanding as of March 31, 2022 cover periods ranging from one to four years. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the open hedging instrument is recorded in accumulated 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. The fair value of the interest rate swaps was determined using a discounted cash flow method based on market-based swap yield curves, taking into account current interest rates.

The following table provides the notional amounts, the annual rates, the annual effective rates, and the fair value of our interest rate derivatives:

The following table provides the before tax effect of our interest rate derivatives on accumulated other comprehensive income and the consolidated statements of income: 

Note 6 – 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”), which was satisfied when we completed our IPO on February 4, 2020, and a service-based vesting condition, which 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.

Additionally, we established an equity incentive plan for purposes of granting stock-based compensation awards to certain members of our senior management, our non-executive directors and to certain employees, to incentivize their performance and align their interests with ours. We have granted RSUs to certain employees and non-employee directors that have a service-based vesting condition. In addition, we have granted performance stock units (“PSUs”) to certain members of management that have a performance-based vesting condition. We account for forfeitures of outstanding but unvested grants in the period they occur. A maximum of 10.5 million shares of common stock were initially available for issuance under equity incentive awards granted pursuant to the plan. In the three months ended March 31, 2022, 0.2 million RSUs and 0.2 million PSUs were granted, respectively.

As of March 31, 2022, there were stock-based compensation awards representing 0.7 million shares outstanding compared to 0.4 million shares outstanding as of December 31, 2021. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, stock-based compensation expense was $2 million.

Note 7 – 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, consumer complaints, 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 March 31, 2022, there were no legal proceedings pending other than those for which we have determined that the possibility of a material outflow is remote.

Note 8 – Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

The following table summarizes the changes in our balances of each component of accumulated other comprehensive income. 

Note 9 – Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was 24.3%, compared to 25.0% in the prior year period.  

Note 10 – Segment Information

Our Chief Executive Officer, who has been identified as our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), has evaluated how he views and measures our performance. In applying the criteria set forth in the standards for reporting information about segments in financial statements, we have determined that 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 CODM monitors performance, allocates capital and makes strategic and operational decisions.  Our segments are described as follows:

Reynolds Cooking & Baking

Our Reynolds Cooking & Baking segment produces branded and store brand foil, disposable aluminum pans, parchment paper, freezer paper, wax paper, butcher paper, plastic wrap, baking cups, oven bags and slow cooker liners. Our branded products are sold under the Reynolds Wrap, Reynolds KITCHENS and E-Z Foil brands in the United States and selected international markets, under the ALCAN brand in Canada and under the Diamond brand outside of North America.

Hefty Waste & Storage

Our Hefty Waste & Storage segment produces both branded and store brand trash and food storage bags. Our branded products are sold under the Hefty Ultra Strong and Hefty Strong brands for trash bags, and as the Hefty and Baggies brands for our food storage bags.

10

Hefty Tableware

Our Hefty Tableware segment sells both branded and store brand disposable and compostable plates, bowls, platters, cups and cutlery. Our Hefty branded products include dishes and party cups.

Presto Products

Our Presto Products segment primarily sells store brand products in four main categories: food storage bags, trash bags, reusable storage containers and plastic wrap. Our Presto Products segment also includes our specialty business, which serves other consumer products companies by providing Fresh-Lock and Slide-Rite resealable closure systems.

Information by Segment

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 IPO and separation-related costs.

Total assets by segment are those assets directly associated with the respective operating activities, comprising inventory, property, plant and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets. Other assets, such as cash, accounts receivable and intangible assets, are monitored on an entity-wide basis and not included in segment information that is regularly reviewed by our CODM.

Transactions between segments are at negotiated prices.

Segment assets consisted of the following:

The following table presents a reconciliation of segment Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP income before income taxes:

Information in Relation to Products

Net revenues by product line are as follows:

Our different product lines are generally sold to a common group of customers.  For all product lines, there is a relatively short time period between the receipt of the order and the transfer of control over the goods to the customer.

Note 11 – Related Party Transactions

Packaging Finance Limited (“PFL”) owns the majority of our outstanding common stock and owns the majority of the outstanding common stock of Pactiv Evergreen Inc. and its subsidiaries (“PEI Group”). Transactions between us and PEI Group are described below.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, revenues from products sold to PEI Group were $27 million, compared to $25 million in the comparable prior year period. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, products purchased from PEI Group were $93 million, compared to $74 million in the comparable prior year period. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2022, and March 31, 2021, PEI Group charged us freight and warehousing costs of $14 million, which were included in cost of sales. The resulting related party receivables and payables are settled regularly in the normal course of business.

Furthermore, $36 million of the dividends paid during each of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, were paid to PFL.

Note 12 – Subsequent Events

Quarterly Cash Dividend

On April 28, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of $0.23 per common share to be paid on May 31, 2022 to shareholders of record on May 17, 2022.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Our management’s 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 and our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Description of the Company and its Business Segments

We are a market-leading consumer products company with a presence in 95% of households across the United States. We produce and sell products across three broad categories: cooking products, waste and storage products and tableware. We sell our products under iconic brands such as Reynolds and Hefty and also under store brands that are strategically important to our customers. Overall, across both our branded and store brand offerings, we hold the #1 or #2 U.S. market share position in the majority of product categories in which we participate. We have developed our market-leading position by investing in our product categories and consistently developing innovative products that meet the evolving needs and preferences of the modern consumer.

Our mix of branded and store brand products is a key competitive advantage that aligns our goal of growing the overall product categories with our customers’ goals and positions us as a trusted strategic partner to our retailers. Our Reynolds and Hefty brands have preeminent positions in their categories and carry strong brand recognition in household aisles.

We manage our operations in four operating and reportable segments: Reynolds Cooking & Baking, Hefty Waste & Storage, Hefty Tableware and Presto Products:

14

Overview

Total net revenues increased 12% in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. Pricing actions in response to increased costs contributed a 14% increase in revenue, which was partially offset by lower volume of 2%.  

We continued to experience significant increases in material costs as well as increases in labor and logistics costs in the three months ended March 31, 2022. We continue to aggressively implement price increases in an effort to recover these costs and maintain our profitability. Our earnings decline in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same prior year period was primarily attributable to increased manufacturing and logistics costs as well as increased advertising costs.

As previously discussed, in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented policies and procedures designed to protect our employees and our customers, including implementing recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As the pandemic evolves, we remain committed to adapting our policies and procedures to ensure the safety of our employees and compliance with federal, state and local regulations. 

We do not currently anticipate that the COVID-19 pandemic will materially impact our liquidity over the next 12 months.

Non-GAAP Measures

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q we use the non-GAAP financial measures “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted Net Income” and “Adjusted EPS”, which are measures adjusted for the impact of specified items and are not in accordance with GAAP.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus the sum of income tax expense, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization and further adjusted to exclude IPO and separation-related costs. We define Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS as Net Income and Earnings Per Share calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus IPO and separation-related costs.

We present Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions. In addition, our chief operating decision maker uses Adjusted EBITDA of each reportable segment to evaluate the operating performance of such segments. We use Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS as supplemental measures to evaluate our business’ performance in a way that also considers our ability to generate profit without the impact of certain items. Accordingly, we believe presenting these measures provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management team and board of directors.

Non-GAAP information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as or comparable to similar non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.

The following table presents a reconciliation of our net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA:

The following tables present reconciliations of our net income and diluted EPS, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS:

Total Reynolds Consumer Products

16

Components of Change in Net Revenues for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 vs. the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021

Total Net Revenues. Total net revenues increased by $88 million, or 12%, to $845 million. The increase was primarily driven by higher pricing as a result of pricing actions taken in response to increased material costs, partially offset by lower volume.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by $112 million, or 20%, to $677 million. The increase was driven by an increase of $105 million in material costs as well as increased labor and logistics costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $5 million, or 6%, to $83 million, primarily due to higher advertising expense.

Other Expense, Net. Other expense, increased by $2 million, or 67%, to $5 million.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net remained flat.

Income Tax Expense. We recognized income tax expense of $16 million on income before income taxes of $68 million (an effective tax rate of 24.3%) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to income tax expense of $25 million on income before income taxes of $99 million (an effective tax rate of 25.0%) for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $28 million, or 20%, to $112 million. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by higher material, manufacturing, logistics and advertising costs as well as lower volume, which was significantly offset by price increases.

Segment Information

Reynolds Cooking & Baking

Total Segment Net Revenues. Reynolds Cooking & Baking total segment net revenues decreased by $4 million, or 1%, to $268 million. The decrease in net revenues was primarily driven by timing of retailer inventory replenishment as well as lower consumption and reroll sales, partially offset by higher pricing as a result of pricing actions taken in response to increased material costs.

Adjusted EBITDA. Reynolds Cooking & Baking Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $25 million, or 47%, to $28 million. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by lower volume as well as pricing actions lagging material cost increases.

Hefty Waste & Storage

17

Total Segment Net Revenues. Hefty Waste & Storage total segment net revenues increased by $34 million, or 18%, to $228 million. The increase in net revenues was primarily driven by higher pricing due to pricing actions taken in response to increased material costs and higher volume.

Adjusted EBITDA. Hefty Waste & Storage Adjusted EBITDA increased by $1 million, or 2%, to $45 million. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by higher volume and price increases, offset by higher material, manufacturing and advertising costs.

Hefty Tableware

Total Segment Net Revenues. Hefty Tableware total segment net revenues increased by $40 million, or 24%, to $210 million. The increase in net revenues was primarily due to higher pricing as a result of pricing actions taken in response to increased material costs and higher volume.

Adjusted EBITDA. Hefty Tableware Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $11 million, or 32%, to $23 million. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by pricing actions lagging material, manufacturing and logistics costs, partially offset by higher volume.

Presto Products

Total Segment Net Revenues. Presto Products total segment net revenues increased by $15 million, or 12%, to $141 million. The increase in net revenues was primarily driven by pricing actions taken in response to increased material costs and improved portfolio mix, partially offset by lower volume.

Adjusted EBITDA. Presto Products Adjusted EBITDA increased by $1 million, or 6%, to $19 million due to price increases and improved portfolio mix, partially offset by higher material and manufacturing costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operating activities and available borrowings under the Revolving Facility.

The following table discloses our cash flows for the periods presented:

Cash provided by operating activities

Net cash from operating activities increased by $10 million, to $19 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by lower net cash outlays in the current year period, mainly related to employee costs and inventory investment, compared to the prior year period, partially offset by lower net income.

18

Cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $5 million to $28 million. The increase was driven by increased acquisition of property, plant and equipment.

Cash used in financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities decreased by $100 million to $54 million. The decrease was attributable to a voluntary payment of debt made in the prior year period that did not repeat in the current year period.

External Debt Facilities

On February 4, 2020, in conjunction with our Corporate Reorganization and IPO, we entered into the External Debt Facilities which consist of a $2,475 million Term Loan Facility and a Revolving Facility that provides for additional borrowing capacity of up to $250 million, reduced by amounts used for letters of credit.

As of March 31, 2022, the outstanding balance under the Term Loan Facility was $2,126 million. As of March 31, 2022, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility, and we had $8 million of letters of credit outstanding, which reduces the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility.

The initial borrower under the External Debt Facilities is Reynolds Consumer Products LLC (the “Borrower”). The Revolving Facility includes a sub-facility for letters of credit. In addition, the External Debt Facilities provide that the Borrower has the right at any time, subject to customary conditions, to request incremental term loans or incremental revolving credit commitments in amounts and on terms set forth therein. The lenders under the External Debt Facilities are not under any obligation to provide any such incremental loans or commitments, and any such addition of or increase in loans is subject to certain customary conditions precedent and other provisions.

Interest rate and fees

Borrowings under the External Debt Facilities bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either a base rate plus an applicable margin of 0.75% or a LIBO rate plus an applicable margin of 1.75%.

During the year ended December 31, 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 annual effective interest rate of 1.93% to 2.22%, including margin) for an aggregate notional amount of $1,650 million, of which $800 million notional value was still in effect as of March 31, 2022. The interest rate swaps outstanding as of March 31, 2022 hedge a portion of the interest rate exposure resulting from our Term Loan Facility for periods ranging from one to four years.

Prepayments

The Term Loan Facility contains customary mandatory prepayments, including with respect to excess cash flow, asset sale proceeds and proceeds from certain incurrences of indebtedness.

The Borrower may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the Term Loan Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs with respect to LIBO rate loans.

Amortization and maturity

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 payable on maturity. The Revolving Facility matures in February 2025.

19

Guarantee and security

All obligations under the External Debt Facilities and certain hedge agreements and cash management arrangements provided by any lender party to the External Debt Facilities or any of its affiliates and certain other persons are unconditionally guaranteed by Reynolds Consumer Products Inc. (“RCPI”), the Borrower (with respect to hedge agreements and cash management arrangements not entered into by the Borrower) and certain of RCPI’s existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect material wholly-owned U.S. restricted subsidiaries, with customary exceptions including, among other things, where providing such guarantees is not permitted by law, regulation or contract or would result in material adverse tax consequences.

All obligations under the External Debt  Facilities and certain hedge agreements and cash management arrangements provided by any lender party to the External Debt  Facilities or any of its affiliates and certain other persons, and the guarantees of such obligations, are secured, subject to permitted liens and other exceptions, by: (i) a perfected first-priority pledge of all the equity interests of each wholly-owned material restricted subsidiary of RCPI, the Borrower or a subsidiary guarantor, including the equity interests of the Borrower (limited to 65% of voting stock in the case of first-tier non-U.S. subsidiaries of RCPI, the Borrower or any subsidiary guarantor) and (ii) perfected first-priority security interests in substantially all tangible and intangible personal property of RCPI, the Borrower and the subsidiary guarantors (subject to certain other exclusions).

Certain covenants and events of default

The External Debt Facilities contain a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, our ability and the ability of the restricted subsidiaries of RCPI to:

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.

We are currently in compliance with the covenants contained in our External Debt Facilities.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, a cash dividend of $0.23 per share, was declared and paid. On April 28, 2022, a quarterly cash dividend of $0.23 per share was declared and is to be paid on May 31, 2022. We expect to continue paying cash dividends on a quarterly basis; however, future dividends are at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, contractual limitations (including under the Term Loan Facility) and other factors.

We believe that our projected cash position, cash flows from operations and available borrowings under the Revolving Facility are sufficient to meet debt service, capital expenditures and working capital needs for the foreseeable future. However, we cannot ensure that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available under our borrowing agreements in amounts sufficient to pay indebtedness or fund other liquidity needs. Actual results of operations will depend on numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control as further discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

For a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

See “Item 7A: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, there have been no material changes in our exposure to market risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

In connection with the preparation of this report, management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
