TAMPA, Fla. and STAMFORD, Conn., May 7, 2026 /CNW/ - Primo Brands Corporation (NYSE: PRMB) ("Primo Brands" or the "Company") today announced its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
"We delivered a strong start to 2026, with momentum building across the business," said Eric Foss, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "First quarter top-line results exceeded our expectations, driven by robust growth in Retail channels led by our premium brands and continued improvement in Direct Delivery.
"This performance and the trajectory across the business give us the confidence to raise our full-year organic Net Sales growth outlook. At the same time, while we have multiple levers to help mitigate inflationary pressures, given the dynamic macro environment, we are widening our Adjusted EBITDA guidance range.
"As a leader in a structurally-advantaged category, with a consumer- and customer-first culture, we're investing to capitalize on the category momentum and the power of our brands. By elevating service and execution, we're positioned for sustained growth, margin expansion, stronger free cash flow, and long-term stakeholder value. We are excited about the opportunities ahead."
FIRST QUARTER PERFORMANCE
For the Three Months Ended
(USD $M except %, per share amounts or unl March 31, March 31, Change
ess as otherwise
noted) 2026 2025
Net sales $ 1,626.1 $ 1,613.7 0.8 %
Net income from continuing operations $ 27.3 $ 34.7 $ (7.4)
Net income per diluted share from
continuing operations $ 0.07 $ 0.09 $ (0.02)

Adjusted EBITDA $ 306.0 $ 341.5 (10.4) %
Adjusted EBITDA margin % 18.8 % 21.2 % (240) bps
-- Net sales increased 0.8% to $1.63 billion compared to $1.61 billion
primarily driven by an increase in sales attributable to our premium
brands, partially offset by a decrease in sales attributable to the
exited US Office Coffee Services ("OCS") business not recurring in the
current year.
-- Gross margin was 28.6% compared to 32.3%, primarily driven by increased
transportation related costs, non-recurring integration related costs
incurred in the current year, and increased depreciation and
amortization.
-- SG&A expenses were $336.7 million compared to $327.8 million and remained
relatively consistent as a percentage of Net sales.
-- Net income from continuing operations and net income per diluted share
were $27.3 million and $0.07 per diluted share, respectively, compared to

-- Adjusted EBITDA decreased 10.4% to $306.0 million compared to $341.5
million and Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased 240 bps to 18.8%, compared
to 21.2%.
FIRST QUARTER CASH FLOW & LIQUIDITY
-- Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations of
$103.8 million, less $118.1 million of capital expenditures and additions
to intangible assets, resulted in $(14.3) million of free cash flow, or
$128.6 million of Adjusted Free Cash Flow (adjusting for the items set
forth on Exhibit 6), compared to net cash provided by operating
activities from continuing operations of $38.8 million and Adjusted Free
Cash Flow of $54.7 million in the prior year period.
-- Total debt, excluding unamortized debt costs and discounts, was $5.3
billion and unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaled $287.9 million,
each as of March 31, 2026, resulting in net debt of $5.0 billion and a
net leverage ratio of 3.52x.
-- Cash dividends of $44.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
-- Approximately $29.0 million, including brokerage commissions, for share
repurchases under our share repurchase plan during the quarter ended
March 31, 2026.

Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement its reporting of financial measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), Primo Brands utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures. Primo Brands utilizes comparable net sales, which excludes the impact of the exited Eastern Canadian operations and exited US Office Coffee Services business. Primo Brands also utilizes Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to separate the impact of certain items from the underlying business. Because Primo Brands uses these adjusted financial results in the management of its business, management believes this supplemental information is useful to investors for their independent evaluation and understanding of Primo Brands' underlying business performance and the performance of its management. Primo Brands utilizes net debt and net leverage ratio. Management uses net debt as an assessment of overall liquidity, financial flexibility, and leverage, and net leverage ratio as an indicator of the Company's ability to meet its future financial obligations. Additionally,
Primo Brands supplements its reporting of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities from continuing operations determined in accordance with GAAP by excluding additions to property, plant and equipment and additions to intangible assets to present free cash flow, and by excluding the additional items identified on the exhibits hereto to present adjusted free cash flow. Management believes these measures are useful to demonstrate the Company's ability to generate future cash flows from operations. The Company has revised its presentation of Comparable Net sales in order to exclude both the impact of the exited Eastern Canadian operations and exited US Office Coffee Services business. As a result of this change, the Company's 2025 Comparable Net sales as disclosed in this Press Release differs from the comparable metric disclosed in previous presentations. See Appendix for definitions of non-GAAP metrics.
The non-GAAP financial measures described above are in addition to, and not meant to be considered superior to, or a substitute for, Primo Brands' financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies may calculate these measures differently. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures included in this press release and the accompanying tables. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this earnings announcement reflect management's judgment of particular items, and may be different from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We have not reconciled our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow guidance to GAAP net income or loss and cash flows from operations, respectively, because we do not provide guidance for such GAAP measures due to the uncertainty and potential variability of certain adjusting items, including stock-based compensation expense, acquired intangible assets and related amortization, income taxes, acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses, and unrealized (gain) loss on foreign exchange and commodity forwards. Because such items cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure guidance to the corresponding GAAP measure. However, such items could have a significant impact on our future GAAP results.

upon an analysis of the statutory tax treatment and
the applicable tax rate for the jurisdiction in which
the pre-tax adjusting items incurred and for which
realization of the resulting tax benefit (if any)
is expected. A reduced or 0% tax rate is applied to
jurisdictions where we do not expect to realize a
tax benefit due to a history of operating losses or
other factors resulting in a valuation allowance related
to deferred tax assets.
