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 and anticipated trends in 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 risks and uncertainties discussed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and as updated in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. You should specifically consider the numerous risks outlined in those “Risk Factors” sections. These risks and uncertainties include factors related to:

•changes in consumer preferences, lifestyle and environmental concerns;

•relationships with our major customers, consolidation of our customer bases and loss of a significant customer;

•competition and pricing pressures;

•loss of, or disruption at, any of our key manufacturing facilities;

•our suppliers of raw materials and any interruption in our supply of raw materials;

•loss due to an accident, labor issues, weather conditions, natural disaster, the emergence of a pandemic or disease outbreak, such as coronavirus or otherwise;

•the unknown duration and economic, operational and financial impacts of the global COVID-19 pandemic;

•costs of raw materials, energy, labor and freight, including the impact of tariffs, trade sanctions and similar matters affecting our importation of certain raw materials;

•labor shortages and increased labor costs;

•our ability to develop and maintain brands that are critical to our success;

•economic downturns in our target markets;

•impacts from inflationary trends;

•difficulty meeting our sales growth objectives and innovation goals; and

•changes in market interest rates.

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. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. We are under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to conform our prior statements to actual results or revised expectations.

Additional information about these factors and about the material factors or assumptions underlying such forward-looking statements is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, which was filed on February 8, 2023, under Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and as updated in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

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, 2022, 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.

In March 2023, we initiated a voluntary Supply Chain Finance program (the “SCF”) with a global financial institution (the “SCF Bank”). Under the SCF, qualifying suppliers may elect to sell their receivables from us to the SCF Bank. These participating suppliers negotiate their receivables sales arrangements directly with the SCF Bank. We are not party to those agreements, nor do we provide any security or other forms of guarantees to the SCF Bank. The participation in the program is at the sole discretion of the supplier, we have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to enter into the agreement and have no direct financial relationship with SCF Bank, as it relates to the SCF. Once a qualifying supplier elects to participate in the SCF and reaches an agreement with the SCF Bank, they elect which individual invoices they sell to the SCF Bank. The terms of our payment obligations are not impacted by a supplier’s participation in the SCF and as such, the SCF has no direct impact on our balance sheets, cash flows, or liquidity. Amounts due to suppliers who voluntarily participate in the SCF are included in accounts payable in our condensed consolidated balance sheet and our payments made under the SCF are reflected as an operating cash flow in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. As of September 30, 2023, the amount of obligations outstanding that we have confirmed as valid under the SCF was $18 million.

Note 2 – New Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance:

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, and subsequently in January 2021, FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, both of which provide 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 (“LIBOR”), and other interbank offered rates expected to be discontinued, to alternative reference rates. Each of these ASUs were effective upon its issuance and could be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which amended the sunset date of the guidance in Topic 848 to December 31, 2024 from December 31, 2022. We adopted the standards as of January 1, 2023. As a result of the planned phase out of the LIBOR as a reference rate and adoption of ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01, we have amended our Credit Agreement and interest rate swaps and applied practical expedients under the guidance. The adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In September 2022, FASB issued ASU 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. These amendments require disclosure of the key terms of outstanding supplier finance programs and a rollforward of the related obligations. These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2022, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2023. We adopted the standard, other than the amendment on rollforward information, as of January 1, 2023. The adoption relates to disclosure only, and does not have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

External Debt Facilities

In February 2020, we entered into 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 February 2023 we amended the External Debt Facilities (as amended, the “Amended External Debt Facilities”) which replaced the interest rate benchmark from the LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Other than the foregoing, the material terms of the External Debt Facilities remain unchanged, and our election to use practical expedients under ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01, as described in Note 2 - New Accounting Standards, resulted in no material impacts on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Borrowings under the Amended 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 SOFR plus an applicable margin of 1.75%. During September 2020, May 2022 and August 2022, we entered into a series of interest rate swaps to hedge a portion of the interest rate exposure resulting from these borrowings. In conjunction with the amendment of our External Debt Facilities, we amended the outstanding interest rate swaps to replace the interest rate benchmark from the LIBOR to SOFR. Refer to Note 5 – Financial Instruments for further details.

The Amended 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 Amended External Debt Facilities.

If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the Amended External Debt Facilities are entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the Amended 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. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we made a voluntary principal payment of $100 million related to our Term Loan Facility, which was first applied to pay the remaining quarterly amortization payments in full with the residual balance applied to the outstanding principal balance due at maturity.

Revolving Facility

The Revolving Facility matures in February 2025 and includes a sub-facility for letters of credit. As of September 30, 2023, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility, and we had $6 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 September 30, 2023, 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 and 2022, we entered into a series of interest rate swaps to fix the LIBOR of our External Debt Facilities. In February 2023, we amended our interest rate swaps to replace the interest rate benchmark from the LIBOR to SOFR. Other than the foregoing, the material terms of the interest rate swap agreements remained unchanged, and our election to use practical expedients under ASUs 2020-04 and 2021-01, as described in Note 2 - New Accounting Standards, resulted in no material impacts on our condensed consolidated financial statements. The aggregate notional amount of the interest rate swaps still in effect as of September 30, 2023 was $1,150 million, and the SOFR is fixed at an annual rate of 0.40% to 3.40% (for an annual effective interest rate of 2.15% to 5.15%, including margin).

The interest rate swaps outstanding as of September 30, 2023 hedge a portion of the interest rate exposure resulting from our Term Loan Facility for periods ranging from two to three years. We classified these instruments as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the open hedging instrument is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is 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, and is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

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


(In millions)	Notional Amount		Annual Rate	Weighted Average Annual Effective Rate		Fair Value - Other Current Assets		Fair Value - Other Assets
As of September 30, 2023	$	1,150	2.15% to 5.15%	4.38	%	$	30	$	22
As of December 31, 2022⁽¹⁾	$	1,150	2.19% to 5.19%	4.42	%	$	25	$	23

(1)Based on the interest rate swaps prior to the amendments entered into in February 2023, which was based on the LIBOR as of December 31, 2022.

Note 6 – Stock-based Compensation

Our equity incentive plan was established in 2020, 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 restricted stock units (“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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023, zero and 0.2 million RSUs and zero and 0.2 million PSUs were granted, respectively.

As of September 30, 2023, there were stock-based compensation awards representing 0.7 million shares outstanding compared to 0.4 million shares outstanding as of December 31, 2022. Stock-based compensation expense was $3 million and $10 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to zero and $4 million in the comparable prior year periods.

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 as of September 30, 2023, 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.

Note 9 – 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 aluminum 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 EZ 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.

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.

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. Over 65% of our revenue comes from products that are #1 in their respective categories. 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:

•Reynolds Cooking & Baking: Through our Reynolds Cooking & Baking segment, we produce branded and store brand aluminum 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 EZ 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. With our flagship Reynolds Wrap products, we hold the #1 market position in the U.S. consumer foil market measured by retail sales and volume. We have no significant branded competitor in this market. Reynolds is one of the most recognized household brands in the United States and has been the top trusted brand in the consumer foil market for over 75 years, with greater than 50% market share in most of its categories.

•Hefty Waste & Storage: Through our Hefty Waste & Storage segment, we produce both branded and store brand trash and food storage bags. Hefty is a well-recognized leader in the trash bag and food storage bag categories and our private label products offer value to our retail partners. 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. We have the #1 branded market share in the U.S. large black trash bag and slider bag segments, and the #2 branded market share in the tall kitchen trash bag segment. Our robust product portfolio in this segment includes a full suite of products, including sustainable solutions such as blue and clear recycling bags, compostable bags, bags made from recycled materials and orange bags through the Hefty ReNew™ Program, formerly the Hefty EnergyBag Program.

•Hefty Tableware: Through our Hefty Tableware segment, we sell both branded and store brand disposable and compostable plates, bowls, platters, cups and cutlery. Our Hefty branded products include dishes and party cups. Hefty branded party cups are the #1 party cup in America measured by market share. Our branded products use our Hefty brand to represent both quality and great price, and we bring this same quality and value promise to all of our store brands as well. We sell across a broad range of materials and price points in all retail channels, allowing our consumers to select the product that best suits their price, function and aesthetic needs. These materials include sustainable solutions, such as Hefty ECOSAVE™ and Hefty Compostable Printed Paper Plates.

•Presto Products: Through our Presto Products segment, we primarily sell store brand products in four main categories: food storage bags, trash bags, reusable storage containers and plastic wrap. Presto Products is a market leader in food storage bags and differentiates itself by providing access to category management, consumer insights, marketing, merchandising and research and development (“R&D”) resources. 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.

Overview

Total net revenues decreased 3% in the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The revenue decrease was primarily due to lower volume, slightly offset by higher pricing due to previously implemented pricing actions. Total net revenues increased 1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The revenue increase was primarily due to higher pricing due to previously implemented pricing actions, partially offset by lower volume.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, our net income improved by 63% compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by higher pricing due to previously implemented pricing actions and lower material and manufacturing costs, as well as lower logistics costs. These were partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses, interest expense and income tax expense.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our net income improved by 6% compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by higher pricing due to previously implemented pricing actions and lower material and manufacturing costs, as well as lower logistics costs. These were partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses, interest expense and income tax expense.

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 Diluted Earnings Per Share” (“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:

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:


	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in millions)	2023		2022
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	423	$	118
Net cash used in investing activities	(77)		(86)
Net cash used in financing activities	(260)		(163)
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	86	$	(131)

Cash provided by operating activities

Net cash from operating activities increased by $305 million to $423 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by improved earnings and a reduction in working capital.

Cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $9 million to $77 million. The decrease was driven primarily by decreased cash outlays for capital expenditures.

Cash used in financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities increased by $97 million, to $260 million. The increase was primarily attributable to a voluntary principal payment of $100 million related to our Term Loan Facility that was made during the third quarter of 2023.

External Debt Facilities

In February 2020, 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. In February 2023, we amended the External Debt Facilities (“Amended External Debt Facilities”) which replaced the benchmark from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Other than the foregoing, the material terms of the agreement remained unchanged.

As of September 30, 2023, the outstanding balance under the Term Loan Facility was $1,995 million. As of September 30, 2023, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility, and we had $6 million of letters of credit outstanding, which reduces the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility.

The borrower under the Amended External Debt Facilities is Reynolds Consumer Products LLC (the “Borrower”). The Revolving Facility includes a sub-facility for letters of credit. In addition, the Amended 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 Amended 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

During 2020 and 2022, we entered into a series of interest rate swaps to fix the LIBOR of our External Debt Facilities. On February 28, 2023, we amended our interest rate swaps to replace the interest rate benchmark from the LIBOR to SOFR. Other than the foregoing, the material terms of the interest rate swap agreements remained unchanged, and our election to use practical expedients under ASUs 2020-04 and 2021-01 resulted in no material impacts on the condensed consolidated financial statements. The aggregate notional amount of our interest rate swaps still in effect as of September 30, 2023 was $1,150 million, and the SOFR is fixed at an annual rate of 0.40% to 3.40% (for an annual effective interest rate of 2.15% to 5.15%, including margin). These interest rate swaps hedge a portion of the interest rate exposure resulting from our Term Loan Facility for periods ranging from two to three 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 SOFR based loans. During the third quarter of 2023, we made a voluntary principal payment of $100 million related to the Term Loan Facility, which was not subject to a prepayment premium.

Subsequent to September 30, 2023, we made an additional voluntary principal payment of $100 million related to the Term Loan Facility, which was not subject to a prepayment premium.

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. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we made a voluntary principal payment of $100 million related to our Term Loan Facility, which was first applied to pay the remaining quarterly amortization payments in full, with the residual balance applied to the outstanding principal balance due at maturity. The Revolving Facility matures in February 2025.

Guarantee and security

All obligations under the Amended External Debt Facilities and certain hedge agreements and cash management arrangements provided by any lender party to the Amended 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 Amended External Debt Facilities and certain hedge agreements and cash management arrangements provided by any lender party to the Amended 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 Amended 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:

•incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness;

•create or incur liens;

•engage in mergers or consolidations;

•sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets;

•pay dividends and distributions or repurchase capital stock;

•prepay, redeem or repurchase certain indebtedness;

•make investments, loans and advances;

•enter into certain transactions with affiliates;

•enter into agreements which limit the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to incur restrictions on their ability to make distributions; and

•enter into amendments to certain indebtedness in a manner materially adverse to the lenders.

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

Accounts Receivable Factoring

Our accounts receivable factoring agreement with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. allows us to sell certain accounts receivable up to $190 million. We had no outstanding balance owed under the factoring arrangement as of September 30, 2023. Transactions under this agreement are accounted for as sales of accounts receivable, and the receivables sold are removed from the condensed consolidated balance sheet at the time of the sales transaction. We classify the proceeds received from the sales of accounts receivable as an operating cash flow in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. We record the discount as other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statement of income.

Supply Chain Financing

The terms of our payment obligations are not impacted by a supplier’s participation in the SCF and as such, the SCF has no direct impact on our balance sheets, cash flows, or liquidity. Our payment terms with our suppliers for similar services and materials within individual markets are consistent between suppliers that elect to participate in the SCF and those that do not participate.

All outstanding amounts related to suppliers participating in the SCF are recorded within accounts payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and the associated payments are included as an operating cash flow in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. As of September 30, 2023, the amount of obligations outstanding that we have confirmed as valid under the SCF was $18 million.

Dividends

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash dividends of $0.23 and $0.69 per share, respectively, were declared and paid. On October 26, 2023, a quarterly cash dividend of $0.23 per share was declared and is to be paid on November 30, 2023. 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, 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Accounting policies and estimates are considered critical when they require management to make subjective and complex judgments, estimates and assumptions about matters that have a material impact on the presentation of our financial statements and accompanying notes. 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, 2022.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

a)Evaluation of Disclosure 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.
