“Our focus on SEE Operational Excellence enabled us to deliver an Adjusted EBITDA increase of 7% on sales growth of 6% and an Adjusted Earnings Per Share increase of 38% in 2018, despite currency headwinds and higher input costs.” said Ted Doheny, Sealed Air President and CEO.
“We are continuing to execute on our Reinvent SEE strategy, which we are confident will transform Sealed Air into a company that delivers world-class performance as ‘One SEE.’ By improving how we innovate, buy, make, and solve, we will address our customers’ most critical packaging challenges, lead the industry with sustainable solutions and make every customer a reference. We are committed to creating long-term value for our shareholders through consistent profitable growth and increased earnings power.”
Unless otherwise stated, all results compare fourth quarter 2018 results to fourth quarter 2017 results from continuing operations. Year-over-year financial discussions present operating results from continuing operations as reported, on an organic basis and on a constant dollar basis. Organic refers to changes in unit volume and price/mix performance and excludes acquisition and divestiture activity and the impact of currency translation. Constant dollar refers to changes in unit volume, price/mix performance and acquisition and divestiture activity and excludes the impact of currency translation. Additionally, non-U.S. GAAP adjusted financial measures, such as Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), Adjusted Net Earnings, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (“Adjusted EPS”) and Adjusted Tax Rate, exclude the impact of specified items (“Special Items”), such as restructuring charges, charges related to the sale of Diversey, gains and losses related to

acquisition and divestiture of businesses, special tax items (“Tax Special Items”) and certain other infrequent or one-time items. Please refer to the supplemental information included with this press release for a reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures.
Fourth Quarter Financial and Business Highlights
In the fourth quarter, Food Care net sales of $772 million increased 1% as reported. Currency negatively impacted Food Care by $40 million or 5%. On a constant dollar basis, net sales increased $47 million or 6% driven by favorable price/mix of 4% and volume growth of 2%. The increase in volume was led by 8% growth in Asia Pacific and 2% in both North America and EMEA, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA of $162 million, or 21.0% of net sales, increased 12% as reported. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to favorable mix and price/cost spread, restructuring savings and higher volumes. Currency fluctuations had an $9 million unfavorable impact on Adjusted EBITDA.
Product Care net sales of $489 million in the fourth quarter were up 5% as reported. Currency negatively impacted Product Care by $8 million or 2%. On a constant dollar basis, net sales increased $33 million or 7%, including $27 million or 6% from acquisition activity and favorable price/mix of $6 million or 1%. Adjusted EBITDA of $85 million, or 17.5% of net sales, increased 5% as reported. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to restructuring savings. Currency fluctuations had a $2 million unfavorable impact on Adjusted EBITDA.
Reinvent SEE
On December 13, 2018, Sealed Air announced its Reinvent SEE strategy to enhance earnings growth and address cost savings in the following key areas: speed to market for new innovations, SG&A productivity, product cost efficiency, and channel optimization and customer service enhancements. As previously announced, the Reinvent SEE strategy includes a three-year restructuring program (“New Program”). The New Program is expected to generate total annualized savings in the range of approximately $215 to $235 million by the end of 2021, of which approximately $45 million will be realized in 2019. The total cash cost of this program is estimated to be in the range of $190 to $220 million, of which approximately $80 million will be incurred in 2019.
Sealed Air will combine the New Program with its existing restructuring program, largely related to the elimination of stranded costs. In 2019, total annualized savings from both programs are expected to be approximately $70 million and cash restructuring payments and costs are expected to be approximately $115 million. The existing program will be completed in 2019 and the New Program will be completed by the end of 2021. Upon completion of both programs, total annualized savings are estimated to be $240 to $260 million from 2019 to 2021 and cash restructuring payments and costs are expected to be $225 to $255 million over the same period.
As part of Reinvent SEE, Sealed Air is enhancing the Company’s operating model to drive market penetration, increase speed to market for new innovations and optimize channel and customer service. Sealed Air will consolidate the commercial leadership of two divisions to one SEE Commercial team led by Karl Deily who will serve as Chief Commercial Officer.
The Company will maintain its segment reporting structure of two reportable segments in its 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K and will continue to assess the changes in the management of the Company and the effect on segment reporting.
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2018 U.S. GAAP Summary
Fourth quarter net sales of $1.3 billion increased 3% on a reported basis. Currency had a negative impact on total net sales of $48 million or 4%. For the full year 2018, net sales of $4.7 billion increased 6% on a reported basis. Currency had a negative impact on total net sales of $44 million or 1%. As reported, net sales increased across all regions for the full year 2018.
Fourth quarter net earnings from continuing operations on a reported basis was $199 million, or $1.28 per diluted share, compared to net earnings from continuing operations of $25 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter 2017. Net earnings in the fourth quarter 2018 was favorably impacted by $82 million of special items.
2

Special item income was primarily driven by $129 million in tax benefit resulting from nonrecurring items including a decrease to the previously recognized estimate of the one-time tax on unrepatriated earnings (transition tax) and the release of valuation allowances associated with tax initiatives. The tax benefit was offset by $39 million of restructuring charges and other associated costs. Net earnings in the fourth quarter 2017 was unfavorably impacted by $78 million of special items, including $42 million of tax related items, $21 million related to the sale of Diversey, $11 million primarily related to acquisition activity and $5 million of restructuring and other restructuring associated costs.
Full year 2018 net earnings from continuing operations on a reported basis was $150 million, or $0.94 per diluted share, compared to net earnings from continuing operations of $63 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in the full year 2017. Net earnings for the full year 2018 was unfavorably impacted by $251 million of special items, including $222 million for tax special items such as the transition tax. In addition, net earnings was unfavorably impacted by special items expenses primarily related to restructuring and other restructuring associated costs of $64 million, charges related to the sale of Diversey of $21 million and charges related to acquisition and divestiture activities of $13 million, partially offset by gain on class-action litigation proceeds of $15 million. Net earnings for full year 2017 was unfavorably impacted by $280 million of special items, including $152 million of tax expense related to the sale of Diversey, as well as $55 million of charges related to the sale of Diversey, $26 million of restructuring and other restructuring associated costs and $16 million primarily related to acquisition activity.
The effective tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2018 was (68.3)%, compared to 79.0% in the fourth quarter of 2017. The effective tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2018 was favorably impacted by the finalization of the transition tax calculation associated with U.S. Tax Reform. The effective tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2018 was also favorably impacted by the release of valuation allowances associated with tax initiatives. The effective tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2017 was negatively impacted primarily by the revaluation of deferred tax assets as a result of U.S. Tax Reform.
The effective tax rate for full year 2018 was 67.2%, compared to 84.0% for full year 2017. The 2018 rate was negatively impacted by the transition tax associated with U.S. Tax Reform. The 2017 rate was negatively impacted primarily by additional tax expenses related to the sale of Diversey and the revaluation of deferred tax assets as a result of U.S. Tax Reform.

Non-U.S. GAAP Information
In this press release and supplement, we have included several non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, including Net Debt, Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted EPS, net sales on an “organic” and a “constant dollar” basis, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Tax Rate, as our management believes these measures are useful to investors. We present results and guidance, adjusted to exclude the effects of Special Items and their related tax impact that would otherwise be included under U.S. GAAP, to aid in comparisons with other periods or prior guidance. In addition, non-U.S. GAAP measures are used by management to review and analyze our operating performance and, along with other data, as internal measures for setting annual budgets and forecasts, assessing financial performance, providing guidance and comparing our financial performance with our peers and may also be used for purposes of determining incentive compensation. The non-U.S. GAAP information has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP information. It does not purport to represent any similarly titled U.S. GAAP information and is not an indicator of our performance under U.S. GAAP. Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures that we present may not be comparable with similarly titled measures used by others. Investors are cautioned against placing undue reliance on these non-U.S. GAAP measures.

Information reconciling forward-looking U.S. GAAP measures to non-U.S. GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort.
We have not provided guidance for the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, as they are not available without unreasonable effort due to the high variability, complexity, and low visibility with respect to certain Special Items, including restructuring charges, gains and losses related to acquisition and divestiture of businesses, the ultimate outcome of certain legal or tax proceedings and other unusual gains and losses. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to our results computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

(1) | The supplementary information included in this press release for 2018 is preliminary and subject to change prior to the filing of our upcoming Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(2) | Our price/mix reported above includes the net impact of our pricing actions and rebates as well as the period-to-period change in the mix of products sold. Also included in our reported price/mix is the net effect of some of our customers purchasing our products in non-U.S. dollar or euro-denominated countries at selling prices denominated in U.S. dollars or euros. This primarily arises when we export products from the U.S. and euro-zone countries.

(3) | Total organic change is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure which excludes acquisition and divestiture activity and the impact of foreign currency translation. Total constant dollar change is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure which excludes the impact of foreign currency translation. Since we are a U.S. domiciled company, we translate our foreign currency denominated financial results into U.S. dollars. Due to changes in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, translating our financial results from foreign currencies to U.S. dollars may result in a favorable or unfavorable impact. It is important that we take into account the effects of foreign currency translation when we view our results and plan our strategies. Nonetheless, we cannot control changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Consequently, when our management looks at our financial results to measure the core performance of our business, we exclude the impact of foreign currency translation by translating our current period results at prior period foreign currency exchange rates. We also may exclude the impact of foreign currency translation when making incentive compensation determinations. As a result, our management believes that these presentations are useful internally and may be useful to our investors.

(4) | Our price/mix reported above includes the net impact of our pricing actions and rebates as well as the period-to-period change in the mix of products sold. Also included in our reported price/mix is the net effect of some of our customers purchasing our products in non-U.S. dollar or euro-denominated countries at selling prices denominated in U.S. dollars or euros. This primarily arises when we export products from the U.S. and euro-zone countries.

(5) | Total organic change is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure which excludes acquisition and divestiture activity and the impact of foreign currency translation. Total constant dollar change is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure which excludes the impact of foreign currency translation. Since we are a U.S. domiciled company, we translate our foreign currency denominated financial results into U.S. dollars. Due to changes in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, translating our financial results from foreign currencies to U.S. dollars may result in a favorable or unfavorable impact. It is important that we take into account the effects of foreign currency translation when we view our results and plan our strategies. Nonetheless, we cannot control changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Consequently, when our management looks at our financial results to measure the core performance of our business, we exclude the impact of foreign currency translation by translating our current period results at prior period foreign currency exchange rates. We also may exclude the impact of foreign currency translation when making incentive compensation determinations. As a result, our management believes that these presentations are useful internally and may be useful to our investors.
