Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 concerning our business, consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) encourages companies to disclose forward-looking statements so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside our control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from these statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by such words as “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “assume,” “could,” “should,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “potential,” “seek,” “predict,” “may,” “will” and similar references to future periods. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report regarding our strategies, prospects, financial condition, operations, costs, plans and objectives are forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding expected future operating results, expectations regarding the results of restructuring and other programs, expectations regarding future impacts of acquisitions, anticipated levels of capital expenditures and expectations of the effect on our financial condition of claims, litigation, environmental costs, contingent liabilities and governmental and regulatory investigations and proceedings.
The following are important factors that we believe could cause actual results to differ materially from those in our forward-looking statements: global economic and political conditions, including recessionary and inflationary pressures, currency translation and devaluation effects, changes in raw material pricing and availability, competitive conditions, the success of new product offerings, failure to realize synergies and other financial benefits from acquisitions within the expected time frames, greater than expected costs or difficulties related to acquisition integrations, consumer preferences, the effects of animal and food-related health issues, the effects of epidemics or pandemics, negative impacts related to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and related sanctions, export restrictions and other counteractions thereto, uncertainties relating to existing or potential increased hostilities in the Middle East, changes in energy costs, environmental matters, the success of our restructuring activities, the success of our merger, acquisition and equity investment strategies, the success of our financial growth, profitability, cash generation and manufacturing strategies and our cost reduction and productivity efforts, changes in our credit ratings, regulatory actions and legal matters, and the other information referenced in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors", of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC, and in any of our subsequent SEC filings. Any forward-looking statement made by us is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

We have established competitive strengths in high-performance packaging solutions, well-established customer relationships, iconic brands, and global scale and market access.
Throughout this report, when we refer to “Sealed Air,” “SEE,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us,” we are referring to Sealed Air Corporation and all of our subsidiaries, except where the context indicates otherwise.
Basis of Presentation
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all of the accounts of the Company and our subsidiaries. We have eliminated all significant intercompany transactions and balances in consolidation. In management’s opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2024 and our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 have been made. The results set forth in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. All amounts are in millions, except per share amounts, and are approximate due to rounding. All amounts are presented in U.S. dollar, unless otherwise specified.
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with the interim reporting requirements of the SEC. As permitted under those rules, annual footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
We are responsible for the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes included in this report. As these are condensed financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 Form 10-K”), which was filed with the SEC on February 27, 2024, and with the information contained in our other publicly available filings with the SEC.
When we cross reference to a “Note,” we are referring to our “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” unless the context indicates otherwise.
There were no significant changes to our significant accounting policies as disclosed in “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards” of our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2023 Form 10-K.
Impact of Highly Inflationary Economy
Argentina
9

Economic and political events in Argentina have continued to expose us to heightened levels of foreign currency exchange risk. As of July 1, 2018, Argentina was designated as a highly inflationary economy under U.S. GAAP, and the U.S. dollar replaced the Argentine peso as the functional currency for our subsidiary in Argentina. All Argentine peso-denominated monetary assets and liabilities were remeasured into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate available to us. The impact of any changes in the exchange rate are reflected within Other expense, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recorded $4.9 million and $2.6 million of remeasurement losses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to our subsidiary in Argentina.
Note 2 Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations ("ASU 2022-04"). ASU 2022-04 requires the buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about the program. The Company adopted ASU 2022-04 on January 1, 2023, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The adoption did not materially impact the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
We facilitate a voluntary supply chain financing program to provide some of our suppliers with the opportunity to sell receivables due from us (our accounts payables) to participating financial institutions at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the financial institutions. This program is administered by participating financial institutions. When a supplier utilizes the supply chain financing program, the supplier receives a payment in advance of agreed payment terms from the financial institution, net of a discount charged. Our responsibility is limited to making payments to the respective financial institutions on the terms originally negotiated with our supplier. We monitor our days payable outstanding relative to our peers and industry trends in order to assess our conclusion that the program continues to be a trade payable program and not indicative of a borrowing arrangement. The liabilities continue to be presented as Accounts payable in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets until they are paid, and they are reflected as Cash flows from operating activities when settled. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our accounts payable balances included $164.2 million and $153.0 million, respectively, related to invoices from suppliers participating in the program.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 requires the annual disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and additional information for the reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate). ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company's disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). ASU 2023-07 requires annual and interim disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), the disclosure and description of other segment items, the inclusion of all current annual disclosures about a reportable segment in interim periods, allows for disclosure of multiple measures of a reportable segment's profit or loss, requires disclosure of the CODM's title and position, and requires a description of how the CODM uses reported measures in assessing the performance of reportable segments and in making decisions pertaining to allocation of resources. ASU 2023-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company's disclosures.

Contract Balances
The time when a performance obligation is satisfied and the time when billing and payment occur are generally closely aligned, subject to agreed payment terms, with the exception of equipment accruals. An equipment accrual is a contract offering, whereby a customer is incentivized to use a portion of the materials transaction price for future equipment purchases. Long-term contracts that include an equipment accrual create a timing difference between when cash is collected and when the performance obligation is satisfied, resulting in a contract liability (unearned revenue). The following contract assets and liabilities are included within Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other current liabilities, or Other non-current liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

(In millions) |  | March 31, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023
Contract assets |  | $ | 0.4 |  |  | $ | 0.4 |
Contract liabilities |  | $ | 20.6 |  |  | $ | 19.9 |

The contract liability balances represent deferred revenue, primarily related to equipment accruals. Revenue recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period was $2.6 million and $4.6 million, respectively. This revenue was driven primarily by equipment performance obligations being satisfied.
Remaining Performance Obligations
The following table summarizes the estimated transaction price from contracts with customers allocated to performance obligations or portions of performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, as well as the expected timing of recognition of that transaction price.

Short-Term (12 months or less)(1) |  | $ | 13.3 |  |  | $ | 13.3 |
Long-Term |  | 7.3 |  |  | 6.6 |
Total transaction price |  | $ | 20.6 |  |  | $ | 19.9 |

(1) Our enforceable contractual obligations tend to be short term in nature. The table above does not include the transaction price of any remaining performance obligations that are part of the contracts with expected durations of one year or less.
Note 4 Leases
Lessor
SEE has contractual obligations as a lessor with respect to some of our automation and equipment solutions including "free on loan" equipment and leased equipment, both sales-type and operating. The consideration in a contract that contains both lease and non-lease components is allocated based on the standalone selling price.
Our contractual obligations for operating leases can include termination and renewal options. Our contractual obligations for sales-type leases tend to have fixed terms and can include purchase options. We utilize the reasonably certain threshold criteria in determining which options our customers will exercise.
All lease payments are primarily fixed in nature and therefore captured in the lease receivable. Our sales-type lease receivable balances at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows:

(In millions) |  | March 31, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023
Short-Term (12 months or less) |  | $ | 8.7 |  |  | $ | 8.5 |
Long-Term |  | 33.3 |  |  | 33.3 |
Lease receivables |  | $ | 42.0 |  |  | $ | 41.8 |

Sales-type and operating lease revenue was less than 1% of net trade sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023.
Lessee
SEE has contractual obligations as a lessee with respect to warehouses, offices and manufacturing facilities, IT equipment, automobiles, and material production equipment.

Consideration paid was approximately $1.16 billion in cash. In March of 2024, subsequent to the closure of the measurement period, we reached a final purchase price settlement with the seller of $3.5 million, which was recorded as income within Other expense, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We financed the consideration paid and related fees and expenses through borrowings under our senior secured credit facility, proceeds from the issuance of senior notes, and cash on hand. See Note 13, "Debt and Credit Facilities," for additional details. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, acquisition-related expenses recognized for the Liquibox acquisition were $11.9 million. These expenses are included within Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The unaudited pro forma financial information includes, where applicable, adjustments for (i) additional expense from the fair value step-up of inventory, (ii) additional amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets, (iii) additional depreciation expense related to acquired property and equipment, (iv) transaction costs and other one-time non-recurring costs, (v) additional interest expense for borrowings related to the acquisition and amortization associated with fair value adjustments of debt assumed, and (vi) associated tax-related impacts of adjustments.
Other 2023 Acquisition Activity
During the second quarter of 2023, Food had other acquisition activity resulting in a total purchase price paid of $14.9 million. The Company finalized the allocation of the consideration transferred to the fair value of assets acquired in the third quarter of 2023, resulting in an allocation to goodwill of $7.9 million. There were no other identifiable intangible assets acquired. This acquisition activity is expected to supplement our developmental efforts for sustainable packaging and accelerate our speed to market for certain sustainable solutions. This acquisition activity was not material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Note 6 Segments
The Company’s segment reporting structure consists of two reportable segments as follows and a Corporate category:
•Food
•Protective
The Company’s Food and Protective segments are considered reportable segments under FASB ASC Topic 280. Our reportable segments are aligned with similar groups of products. Corporate includes certain costs that are not allocated to the reportable segments. The Company evaluates performance of the reportable segments based on the results of each segment. The performance metric used by the Company's chief operating decision maker to evaluate performance of our reportable segments is Segment Adjusted EBITDA. The Company allocates expense to each segment based on various factors including direct usage of resources, allocation of headcount, allocation of software licenses or, in cases where costs are not clearly delineated, costs may be allocated on portion of either net trade sales or an expense factor such as cost of sales.
We allocate and disclose depreciation and amortization expense to our segments, although depreciation and amortization are not included in the segment performance metric Segment Adjusted EBITDA. We also allocate and disclose restructuring charges by segment, although they are not included in the segment performance metric Segment Adjusted EBITDA since restructuring
17

charges are categorized as Special Items (as identified below). The accounting policies of the reportable segments and Corporate are the same as those applied to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 10 Accounts Receivable Securitization Programs
U.S. Accounts Receivable Securitization Program
We and a group of our U.S. operating subsidiaries maintain an accounts receivable securitization program under which they sell eligible U.S. accounts receivable to a wholly-owned subsidiary that was formed for the sole purpose of entering into this program. The wholly-owned subsidiary in turn may sell an undivided fractional ownership interest in these receivables to two banks and issuers of commercial paper administered by these banks. The wholly-owned subsidiary retains the receivables it purchases from the operating subsidiaries. Any transfers of fractional ownership interests of receivables under the U.S. receivables securitization program to the two banks and issuers of commercial paper administered by these banks are considered secured borrowings with the underlying receivables as collateral and will be classified as Short-term borrowings on
21

our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These banks do not have any recourse against the general credit of the Company. The net trade receivables that served as collateral for these borrowings are reclassified from Trade receivables, net to Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. There were $50.0 million and $46.5 million of borrowings or corresponding net trade receivables maintained as collateral as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
As of March 31, 2024, the maximum purchase limit for receivable interests was $50.0 million, subject to the availability limits described below.
The amounts available from time to time under this program may be less than $50.0 million due to a number of factors, including but not limited to our credit ratings, trade receivable balances, the creditworthiness of our customers and our receivables collection experience. As of March 31, 2024, the amount available to us under the program before utilization was $50.0 million. Although we do not believe restrictions under this program presently materially restrict our operations, if an additional event occurs that triggers one of these restrictive provisions, we could experience a decline in the amounts available to us under the program or termination of the program.
The program expires annually and is renewable.
European Accounts Receivable Securitization Program
We and a group of our European subsidiaries maintain an accounts receivable securitization program with a special purpose vehicle, or SPV, two banks, and issuers of commercial paper administered by these banks. The European program is structured to be a securitization of certain trade receivables that are originated by certain of our European subsidiaries. The SPV borrows funds from the banks to fund its acquisition of the receivables and provides the banks with a first priority perfected security interest in the accounts receivable. We do not have an equity interest in the SPV. We concluded the SPV is a variable interest entity because its total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the SPV to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from the bank via loans or via the collections from accounts receivable already purchased. Additionally, we are considered the primary beneficiary of the SPV since we control the activities of the SPV and are exposed to the risk of uncollectible receivables held by the SPV. Therefore, the SPV is consolidated in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Any activity between the participating subsidiaries and the SPV is eliminated in consolidation. Loans from the banks to the SPV will be classified as Short-term borrowings on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The net trade receivables that served as collateral for these borrowings are reclassified from Trade receivables, net to Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. There were €75.6 million ($81.5 million equivalent at March 31, 2024) and €78.4 million ($86.7 million equivalent at December 31, 2023) of borrowings or corresponding net trade receivables maintained as collateral as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
As of March 31, 2024, the maximum purchase limit for receivable interests was €80.0 million ($86.3 million equivalent at March 31, 2024), subject to availability limits. The terms and provisions of this program are similar to our U.S. program discussed above. As of March 31, 2024, the amount available under this program before utilization was €76.0 million ($82.0 million equivalent as of March 31, 2024).
This program expires annually and is renewable.
Utilization of Our Accounts Receivable Securitization Programs
As of March 31, 2024, there were $50.0 million and €75.6 million ($81.5 million equivalent at March 31, 2024) of outstanding borrowings under our U.S. and European programs, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, there were $46.5 million and €78.4 million ($86.7 million equivalent at December 31, 2023) of outstanding borrowings under our U.S. and European programs, respectively. We continue to service the trade receivables supporting the programs, and the banks are permitted to re-pledge this collateral. The total interest paid for these programs was $1.8 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Under limited circumstances, the banks and the issuers of commercial paper can end purchases of receivables interests before the above expiration dates. A failure to comply with debt leverage or various other ratios related to our receivables collection experience could result in termination of the receivables programs. We were in compliance with these ratios at March 31, 2024.
22

Note 11 Accounts Receivable Factoring Agreements
The Company has entered into factoring agreements and customers' supply chain financing arrangements to sell certain trade receivables to unrelated third-party financial institutions. These programs are entered into in the normal course of business. We account for these transactions in accordance with ASC 860, "Transfers and Servicing" ("ASC 860"). ASC 860 allows for the ownership transfer of accounts receivable to qualify for true-sale treatment when the appropriate criteria is met, which permits the balances sold under the program to be excluded from Trade receivables, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Receivables are considered sold when (i) they are transferred beyond the reach of the Company and its creditors, (ii) the purchaser has the right to pledge or exchange the receivables, and (iii) the Company has no continuing involvement in the transferred receivables. In addition, the Company provides no other forms of continued financial support to the purchaser of the receivables once the receivables are sold.
Gross amounts factored under this program for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were $179.8 million and $194.5 million, respectively. The fees associated with transfer of receivables for all programs were approximately $3.0 million for both of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
Note 12 Restructuring Activities
On August 7, 2023, the Board of Directors approved a new 3-year cost take-out to grow program (the “CTO2Grow Program”). The total cash cost of this program is estimated to be in the range of $140 to $160 million.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred cash expense including $15.3 million of restructuring charges related to headcount reductions, $6.7 million of other associated costs and recorded income of $0.1 million related to contract terminations in connection with the CTO2Grow Program.
CTO2Grow Program restructuring spend is estimated to be incurred as follows:

|  | Total Restructuring Program Range |  | Less Program Activity to Date |  | Remaining Restructuring
(In millions) |  | Low |  | High |  |  |  | Low |  | High
Costs of reduction in headcount as a result of reorganization |  | $ | 90 |  |  | $ | 95 |  |  | $ | (32) |  |  | $ | 58 |  |  | $ | 63 |

Total estimated expense(3) |  | $ | 168 |  |  | $ | 183 |  |  | $ | (88) |  |  | $ | 80 |  |  | $ | 95 |

(1)Total estimated cash cost excludes the impact of proceeds expected from the sale of property and equipment and foreign currency impact.
(2)Reflects actual expenses that have been incurred. Ranges associated with future non-cash expenses related to the CTO2Grow Program are difficult to estimate and are not available without unreasonable efforts, as these typically relate to exit and disposal activities.
(3)Total estimated expense excludes capital expenditures.

The aggregate restructuring accrual, spending and other activity for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the accrual balance remaining at March 31, 2024 was as follows:

(In millions) |
Restructuring accrual at December 31, 2023 | $ | 24.3 |
Headcount accrual and accrual adjustments | 15.5 |
Cash payments during 2024 | (9.8) |

Restructuring accrual at March 31, 2024(1) | $ | 29.7 |

(1)Excludes $3.6 million of remaining lease obligations on terminated contracts included in Current portion of operating lease liabilities and Long-term operating lease liabilities, less current portion on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We expect to pay $28.8 million of the accrual balance as of March 31, 2024 within the next twelve months. The remaining accrual of $0.9 million is expected to be paid primarily in 2025. These amounts are included in Accrued restructuring costs and Other non-current liabilities, respectively, on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2024.
The CTO2Grow Program was approved by our Board of Directors as a consolidated program benefiting both Food and Protective, and accordingly the expected program spend by reporting segment is not available. However, of the total restructuring accrual of $29.7 million as of March 31, 2024, $18.1 million was attributable to Food and $11.6 million was attributable to Protective.

Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Facility
2023 Activity
On February 1, 2023, the Company used proceeds from the incremental term facility under the senior secured credit facilities to finance in part the Liquibox acquisition. We incurred $11.0 million of lender and third party fees included in carrying amounts of outstanding debt. See Note 5, "Acquisitions," for further details related to the Liquibox acquisition.
Senior Notes
2023 Activity
On November 20, 2023, the Company issued $425.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.250% senior notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”). The 2031 Notes will mature on February 15, 2031. Interest is payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on May 15, 2024. The 2031 Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Company’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee its senior secured credit facilities, subject to release under certain circumstances. We capitalized $4.2 million of fees incurred in connection with the 2031 Notes, which are included in Long-term debt, less current portion on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We may redeem the 2031 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to November 15, 2026, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2031 Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date, plus a “make-whole premium”. At any time prior to November 15, 2026, we may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Notes with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings.
The net proceeds from the 2031 Notes offering were used (i) to repurchase all of the Company’s outstanding 5.125% senior notes due 2024 (the "2024 Notes") pursuant to the tender offer commenced by the Company on November 8, 2023 and satisfy and discharge all of the Company's outstanding 2024 Notes in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the 2024 Notes and to pay related premiums, fees and expenses in connection therewith, and (ii) to the extent of any remaining proceeds
25

after giving effect to the foregoing transaction, for general corporate purposes. The aggregate repurchase price was $433.7 million, which included the principal amount of $425.0 million, a premium of $7.5 million and accrued interest of $1.2 million. We recognized a pre-tax loss of $8.3 million on the extinguishment, including the premium mentioned above and $0.8 million of accelerated amortization of non-lender fees, included within Other expense, net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations during the year ended December 31, 2023.
On January 31, 2023, the Company issued $775.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.125% senior notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes"). The 2028 Notes will mature on February 1, 2028. Interest is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on August 1, 2023. The 2028 Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Company’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee its senior secured credit facilities, subject to release under certain circumstances. We capitalized $12.2 million of fees incurred in connection with the 2028 Notes, which are included in Long-term debt, less current portion on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We may redeem the 2028 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to February 1, 2025, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date, plus a "make-whole premium". On or after February 1, 2025, we may redeem the 2028 Notes, in whole or in part, at specified redemption prices, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including the redemption date. In addition, at any time prior to February 1, 2025, we may redeem up to 40% of the 2028 Notes using the proceeds of certain equity offerings.
The net proceeds from the 2028 Notes offering were used (i) together with a borrowing under the Company’s incremental term loan facility and cash on hand, to finance the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Liquibox, including related fees and expenses, (ii) to repurchase all of the Company’s outstanding 4.500% senior notes due 2023 (the “2023 Euro Notes”) pursuant to the tender offer commenced by the Company on January 27, 2023 and satisfy and discharge all of the Company’s outstanding 2023 Euro Notes in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the 2023 Euro Notes and to pay related premiums, fees and expenses in connection therewith and (iii) to the extent of any remaining proceeds after giving effect to the foregoing transactions, for general corporate purposes. We recognized a pre-tax loss of $4.9 million on the repurchase and cancellation of the 2023 Euro Notes, including a premium of $4.5 million and accelerated amortization of non-lender fees of $0.4 million, within Other expense, net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the first quarter of 2023. See Note 5, "Acquisitions," for further details related to the Liquibox acquisition.
Covenants
Each issue of our outstanding senior notes imposes limitations on our operations and those of specified subsidiaries. Our senior secured credit facilities contain customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations on our indebtedness, liens, investments, restricted payments, mergers and acquisitions, dispositions of assets, transactions with affiliates, amendment of documents and sale leasebacks, and a covenant specifying a maximum leverage ratio to EBITDA. We were in compliance with the above financial covenants and limitations at March 31, 2024.
Note 14 Derivatives and Hedging Activities
We report all derivative instruments on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and establish criteria for designation and effectiveness of transactions entered into for hedging purposes.
As a global organization, we face exposure to market risks, such as fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. To manage the volatility relating to these exposures, we enter into various derivative instruments from time to time under our risk management policies. We designate derivative instruments as hedges on a transaction basis to support hedge accounting. The changes in fair value of these hedging instruments offset, in part or in whole, corresponding changes in the fair value or cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. We assess the initial and ongoing effectiveness of our hedging relationships in accordance with our policy. We do not purchase, hold or sell derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Our practice is to terminate derivative transactions if the underlying asset or liability matures or is sold or terminated, or if we determine the underlying forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring.
We record the fair value positions of all derivative financial instruments on a net basis by counterparty for which a master netting arrangement is utilized.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Designated as Cash Flow Hedges
The primary purpose of our cash flow hedging activities is to manage the potential changes in value associated with the amounts receivable or payable on equipment and raw material purchases that are denominated in foreign currencies in order to minimize the impact of the changes in foreign currencies. We record gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts qualifying as cash flow hedges in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (“AOCL”) to the extent that these hedges are effective and until we recognize the underlying transactions in net earnings, at which time we recognize these gains and losses in Cost of sales, on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Cash flows from derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges are classified as Cash flows from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. These contracts generally have original maturities of less than 12 months.
Net unrealized after-tax gains/losses related to cash flow hedging activities that were included in AOCL were a $1.4 million gain and a $1.1 million gain for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The unrealized amount in AOCL will fluctuate based on changes in the fair value of open contracts during each reporting period.
We estimate that $0.2 million of net unrealized gains related to cash flow hedging activities included in AOCL will be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Not Designated as Hedges
Our subsidiaries have foreign currency exchange exposure from buying and selling in currencies other than their functional currencies. The primary purposes of our foreign currency hedging activities are to manage the potential changes in value associated with the amounts receivable or payable on transactions denominated in foreign currencies and to minimize the impact of the changes in foreign currencies related to foreign currency-denominated, interest-bearing intercompany loans and receivables and payables. The changes in fair value of these derivative contracts are recognized in Other expense, net, on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and are largely offset by the remeasurement of the underlying foreign currency-denominated items indicated above. Cash flows from derivative financial instruments not designated as hedges are classified as Cash flows from investing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. These contracts generally have original maturities of less than 12 months.
Interest Rate Swaps
From time to time, we may use interest rate swaps to manage our fixed and floating interest rates on our outstanding indebtedness. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had no outstanding interest rate swaps.
Net Investment Hedge
In February 2023, the €400.0 million 4.500% senior notes issued in June 2015 that were previously designated as a net investment hedge, hedging a portion of our net investment in a certain European subsidiary against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, were repaid, which settled the net investment hedge. See Note 13, "Debt and Credit Facilities," for additional information about the repayment of the notes.
In the first quarter of 2023, we entered into a series of cross-currency swaps with a combined notional amount of $432.8 million. Each of these cross-currency swaps were designated as net investment hedges of the Company's foreign currency exposure of its net investment in certain Euro-functional currency subsidiaries with Euro-denominated net assets, and the Company pays a fixed rate of Euro-based interest and receives a fixed rate of U.S. dollar interest. The Company has elected the spot method for assessing the effectiveness of these contracts. The maturity date for this series of cross-currency swaps is February 1, 2028. We recognized $0.8 million and $0.5 million of interest income within Interest expense, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to these contracts.
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedges of net investments in foreign operations, changes in fair values of the derivative instruments are recognized in Unrealized gain or loss on derivative instruments for net investment hedge, a component of AOCL, net of taxes, to offset the changes in the values of the net investments being hedged. Any portion of the net investment hedge that is determined to be ineffective is recorded in Other expense, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
27

Other Derivative Instruments
We may use other derivative instruments from time to time to manage exposure to foreign exchange rates and to access international financing transactions. These instruments can potentially limit foreign exchange exposure by swapping borrowings denominated in one currency for borrowings denominated in another currency.
Fair Value of Derivative Instruments
See Note 15, “Fair Value Measurements, Equity Investments and Other Financial Instruments,” for a discussion of the inputs and valuation techniques used to determine the fair value of our outstanding derivative instruments.
The following table details the fair value of our derivative instruments included on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 15 Fair Value Measurements, Equity Investments and Other Financial Instruments
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. There are three levels to the fair value hierarchy as follows:
Level 1 - observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 - unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which may require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The fair value, measured on a recurring basis, of our financial instruments, using the fair value hierarchy under U.S. GAAP, are included in the table below.

|  | March 31, 2024
(In millions) |  | Total Fair Value |  | Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3

Cross-currency swaps |  | $ | (19.9) |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | (19.9) |  |  | $ | — |

Cash equivalents - Our cash equivalents consisted of bank time deposits. Since these are short-term, highly liquid investments with remaining maturities of 3 months or less, they present negligible risk of changes in fair value due to changes in interest rates and are classified as Level 1 financial instruments.
Derivative financial instruments - Our foreign currency forward contracts, foreign currency options, interest rate swaps and cross-currency swaps are recorded at fair value on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets using a discounted cash flow

analysis that incorporates observable market inputs. These market inputs include foreign currency spot and forward rates, and various interest rate curves, and are obtained from pricing data quoted by various banks, third-party sources and foreign currency dealers involving identical or comparable instruments. Such financial instruments are classified as Level 2.
Counterparties to these foreign currency forward contracts have at least an investment grade rating. Credit ratings on some of our counterparties may change during the term of our financial instruments. We closely monitor our counterparties’ credit ratings and, if necessary, will make any appropriate changes to our financial instruments. The fair value generally reflects the estimated amounts that we would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the reporting date.
Foreign currency forward contracts are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Cross-currency swaps are included in Other non-current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Equity Investments
SEE maintains equity investments in companies which are accounted for under the measurement alternative described in ASC 321-10-35-2 ("ASC 321") for equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values. We do not exercise significant influence over these companies. The following carrying value of these investments were included within Other non-current assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

(In millions) |  | March 31, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023
Carrying value at the beginning of period |  | $ | 13.8 |  |  | $ | 13.3 |

Upward adjustments |  | — |  |  | — |
Currency translation on investments |  | (0.3) |  |  | 0.5 |
Carrying value at the end of period |  | $ | 13.5 |  |  | $ | 13.8 |

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, cumulative upward adjustments to our equity investments were $21.7 million and cumulative impairments or downward adjustments were $31.6 million.
Other Financial Instruments
The following financial instruments are recorded at fair value or at amounts that approximate fair value: (1) trade receivables, net, (2) certain other current assets, (3) accounts payable and (4) other current liabilities. The carrying amounts reported on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the above financial instruments closely approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.
Other liabilities that are recorded at carrying value on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include our credit facilities and senior notes. We utilize a market approach to calculate the fair value of our senior notes. Due to their limited investor base and the face value of some of our senior notes, they may not be actively traded on the date we calculate their fair value. Therefore, we may utilize prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving similar securities, reflecting U.S. Treasury yields to calculate the yield to maturity and the price on some of our senior notes. These inputs are provided by an independent third party and are considered to be Level 2 inputs.
We derive our fair value estimates of our various other debt instruments by evaluating the nature and terms of each instrument, considering prevailing economic and market conditions, and examining the cost of similar debt offered at the balance sheet date. We also incorporated our credit default swap rates and currency specific swap rates in the valuation of each debt instrument, as applicable.
These estimates are subjective and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and therefore we cannot determine them with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect our estimates.
The table below shows the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our debt, excluding our lease liabilities.

Note 17 Income Taxes
U.S. Legislation
The Inflation Reduction Act ("IRA") was signed into law on August 16, 2022. The IRA includes climate and energy provisions and introduces a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax, among other items. The enactment of the IRA did not result in any adjustments to our income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Effective Income Tax Rate and Income Tax Provision
For interim tax reporting, we estimate one annual effective tax rate for tax jurisdictions not subject to a valuation allowance and apply that rate to the year-to-date ordinary income/(loss). Tax effects of significant unusual or infrequently occurring items are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation and recognized in the interim period in which they occur.
Compared to the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0%, state income taxes, foreign earnings subject to higher tax rates and non-deductible expenses increase the Company's effective income tax rate, whereas research and development credits decrease the Company's effective tax rate.
Our effective income tax rate was 30.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. In addition to the above referenced items, the three-month period was unfavorably impacted by accruals for uncertain tax positions.
Our effective income tax rate was 35.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. In addition to the above referenced items, the three-month period was unfavorably impacted by accruals for uncertain tax positions.
There was no significant change in our valuation allowance for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
Net increases in unrecognized tax positions of $4.6 million and $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were primarily related to interest accruals on existing uncertain tax positions. We are not currently able to reasonably estimate the amount by which the liability for unrecognized tax positions may increase or decrease as a result of future tax controversy developments or resolution. Interest and penalties on tax assessments are included in Income tax provision on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development has issued Pillar Two model rules introducing a new global minimum tax of 15% as of January 1, 2024. While the U.S. has not adopted the Pillar Two rules, various other governments around the world have enacted legislation. This minimum tax is treated as a period cost and did not have a material impact on the Company's financial results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company is monitoring legislative developments, as well as additional guidance from countries that have enacted legislation, and we anticipate further legislative activity and administrative guidance in 2024.
Note 18 Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental Matters
We are subject to loss contingencies resulting from environmental laws and regulations, and we accrue for anticipated costs associated with investigatory and remediation efforts when an assessment has indicated that a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are not reduced by potential insurance recoveries, if any. We do not believe that it is reasonably possible that our liability in excess of the amounts that we have accrued for environmental matters will be material to our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets or Statements of Operations. Environmental liabilities are reassessed whenever circumstances become better defined or remediation efforts and their costs can be better estimated.
We evaluate these liabilities periodically based on available information, including the progress of remedial investigations at each site, the current status of discussions with regulatory authorities regarding the methods and extent of remediation and the apportionment of costs among potentially responsible parties. As some of these issues are decided (the outcomes of which are subject to uncertainties) or new sites are assessed and costs can be reasonably estimated, we adjust the recorded accruals, as necessary. We believe that these exposures are not material to our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets or Statements of Operations. We believe that we have adequately reserved for all probable and estimable environmental exposures.
32

Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations
We are a party to many contracts containing guarantees and indemnification obligations. These contracts primarily consist of:
•indemnities in connection with the sale of businesses, primarily related to the sale of Diversey in 2017. Our indemnity obligations under the relevant agreements may be limited in terms of time, amount or scope. As it relates to certain income tax related liabilities, the relevant agreements may not provide any cap for such liabilities, and the period in which we would be liable would lapse upon expiration of the statute of limitation for assessment of the underlying taxes. Because of the conditional nature of these obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement, we are unable to reasonably estimate the potential maximum exposure associated with these items;
•product warranties with respect to certain products sold to customers in the ordinary course of business. These warranties typically provide that products will conform to specifications. We generally do not establish a liability for product warranty based on a percentage of sales or other formula. We accrue a warranty liability on a transaction-specific basis depending on the individual facts and circumstances related to each sale. Both the liability and annual expense related to product warranties are immaterial to our consolidated financial position and results of operations; and
•licenses of intellectual property by us to third parties in which we have agreed to indemnify the licensee against third-party infringement claims.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company has no reason to believe a loss exceeding amounts already recognized would be incurred.
Other Matters
We are also involved in various other legal actions incidental to our business. We believe, after consulting with counsel, that the disposition of these other legal proceedings and matters will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations including potential impact to cash flows.
Note 19 Stockholders’ Equity
Repurchase of Common Stock
On August 2, 2021, the Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program of $1.0 billion. This current program has no expiration date and replaced all previous authorizations. It does not obligate us to repurchase any specified amount of shares and remains subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors. As of March 31, 2024, there was $536.5 million remaining under the current authorized program. Share repurchases made prior to August 2, 2021 were under the previous share repurchase authorization of $1.0 billion, which was approved by the Board of Directors in May 2018.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, no shares were repurchased.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we repurchased 1,529,575 shares, for approximately $79.8 million, at an average share price of $52.20.
These repurchases were made under open market transactions, including through plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, and pursuant to the share repurchase program previously authorized by our Board of Directors.
Dividends
On February 21, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per common share, or $29.1 million, which was paid on March 22, 2024, to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 8, 2024.
The dividends paid during the three months ended March 31, 2024 were recorded as a reduction to Cash and cash equivalents with an offset to Retained earnings on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our senior secured credit facility and our senior notes contain covenants that restrict our ability to declare or pay dividends and repurchase stock. However, we do not believe these covenants are likely to materially limit the future payment of quarterly cash dividends on our common stock. From time to time, we may consider other means of returning value to our stockholders based on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. There is no guarantee that our Board of Directors will declare any future dividends.
Share-based Compensation
33

In 2014, the Board of Directors adopted, and our stockholders approved, the 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“Omnibus Incentive Plan”). Under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock authorized was 4,250,000, plus total shares available to be issued as of May 22, 2014 under the 2002 Directors Stock Plan and the 2005 Contingent Stock Plan (collectively, the “Predecessor Plans”). The Omnibus Incentive Plan replaced the Predecessor Plans and no further awards were granted under the Predecessor Plans. The Omnibus Incentive Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, unrestricted stock, performance share units known as PSU awards, other stock awards and cash awards to officers, non-employee directors, key employees, consultants and advisors.
In 2018 and 2021, the Board of Directors adopted, and our shareholders approved, amendments and restatements to the Omnibus Incentive Plan, adding 2,199,114 and 2,999,054 shares of common stock to the share pool previously available under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, respectively.
We record share-based incentive compensation expense in Selling, general and administrative expenses and Cost of sales on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for both equity-classified and liability-classified awards. We record a corresponding credit to Additional paid-in capital within Stockholders’ equity for equity-classified awards, and to either Other current liabilities or Other non-current liabilities for liability-classified awards based on the fair value of the share-based incentive compensation awards at the date of grant. Total expense for the liability-classified awards continues to be remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period. We recognize an expense or credit reflecting the straight-line recognition, net of estimated forfeitures, of the expected cost of the awards. The number of PSUs earned may equal, exceed, or be less than the targeted number of shares depending on whether the performance criteria are met, surpassed, or not met.
The table below shows our total share-based incentive compensation expense:

|  |  |  | Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions) |  |  |  |  |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Total share-based incentive compensation expense(1) |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 8.7 |  |  | $ | 18.0 |

(1)The amounts presented above do not include the expense related to our U.S. profit sharing contributions made in the form of our common stock. However, the amounts include the expense related to share-based awards that are settled in cash.
Performance Share Units (“PSU”) Awards
During the first 90 days of each year, the People and Compensation Committee (formerly the Organization and Compensation Committee, or "P&C Committee") of our Board of Directors approves PSU awards for our executive officers and other selected employees, which include for each participant a target number of shares of common stock and the performance goals and measures that will determine the percentage of the target award that is earned. Following the end of the performance period, in addition to shares earned, participants will also receive a cash payment in the amount of the dividends (without interest) that would have been paid during the performance period on the number of shares that they have earned. Each PSU is subject to forfeiture if the recipient terminates employment with the Company prior to the end of the award performance period for any reason other than death, disability or retirement. In the event of death, disability or retirement, a participant will receive a prorated payment based on such participant’s number of days of service during the award performance period, further adjusted based on the achievement of the performance goals during the award performance period. PSUs are classified as equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, with the exception of awards that are required by local laws or regulations to be settled in cash. These are classified as either Other current liabilities or Other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

2024 Three-year PSU Awards
During the first quarter of 2024, the P&C Committee approved awards with a three-year performance period beginning January 1, 2024 and ending December 31, 2026 for executive officers and other selected employees. The P&C Committee established performance goals, which are (i) three-year cumulative average growth rate (“CAGR”) of consolidated Adjusted EBITDA weighted at 50%, and (ii) Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”) weighted at 50%. Calculation of final achievement on each performance metric is subject to an upward or downward adjustment of up to 25% of the overall combined achievement percentage, based on the results of a relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) modifier. The comparator group for the relative TSR modifier is comprised of a custom peer group as of the beginning of the performance period. Shareholder return in the top quartile of the comparator group increases overall achievement of performance metrics by 25%, while shareholder return in the bottom quartile of the comparator group decreases overall achievement of the performance metrics by 25%. The total number of shares to be issued for these awards, including the modifier, can range from zero to 250% of the target number of shares.
The target number of PSUs granted and the grant date fair value of the PSUs are shown in the following table:

|  | Adjusted EBITDA CAGR |  | ROIC
February 21, 2024 grant date |  |  |  |
Number of units granted |  | 50,340 |  |  | 50,340 |
Fair value on grant date (per unit) |  | $ | 41.09 |  |  | $ | 41.09 |
March 1, 2024 grant date |  |  |  |
Number of units granted |  | 22,692 |  |  | 22,692 |
Fair value on grant date (per unit) |  | $ | 39.49 |  |  | $ | 39.49 |

The assumptions used to calculate the grant date fair value of the PSUs are shown in the following table:

| February 21, 2024 grant date | March 1, 2024 grant date
Expected price volatility | 31.7 | % | 31.9 | %
Risk-free interest rate | 4.4 | % | 4.3 | %

2021 Three-year PSU Awards
In February 2024, the P&C Committee reviewed the performance results for the 2021-2023 PSUs. Performance goals for these PSUs were based on Adjusted EBITDA CAGR, ROIC, and the Company's TSR ranking relative to S&P 500 component companies over the performance period. Based on overall performance for the 2021-2023 PSUs, these awards paid out at 75% of target or 152,934 units. Of this, 55,607 units were withheld to cover employee tax withholding and 732 units were designated as cash-settled awards, resulting in net share issuances of 96,595.

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

The information in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read together with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes set forth in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our MD&A set forth in Item 7 of Part II of our 2023 Form 10-K and our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes set forth in Item 8 of Part II of our 2023 Form 10-K. See “Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” above, and the information referenced therein, for a description of risks that we face and important factors that we believe could cause actual results to differ materially from those in our forward-looking statements. All amounts and percentages are approximate due to rounding and all dollars are in millions, except per share amounts or where otherwise noted. When we cross-reference to a “Note,” we are referring to our “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” unless the context indicates otherwise.
Recent Events and Trends
Market Pressures
The Company has experienced softness in our end markets through the first three months of 2024. We expect these market pressures to remain and continue to anticipate an L-shaped recovery throughout 2024 and into 2025.
Non-U.S. GAAP Information
We present financial information that conforms to U.S. GAAP. We also present financial information that does not conform to U.S. GAAP, as our management believes it is useful to investors. In addition, non-U.S. GAAP financial 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. Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures also provide management with additional means to understand and evaluate the core operating results and trends in our ongoing business by eliminating certain expenses and/or gains (which may not occur in each period presented) and other items that management believes might otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods and peers more difficult, obscure trends in ongoing operations or reduce management’s ability to make useful forecasts. Non-U.S. GAAP information does not purport to represent any similarly titled U.S. GAAP information and is not an indicator of our performance under U.S. GAAP. Investors are cautioned against placing undue reliance on these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. Further, investors are urged to review and consider carefully the adjustments made by management to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure to arrive at these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, described below.
The non-U.S. GAAP financial metrics exclude certain specified items (“Special Items”), including restructuring charges and restructuring associated costs, amortization of intangible assets and inventory step-up expense related to the acquisition of Liquibox, adjustments in the valuation of our "SEE Ventures" portfolio (which may include debt or equity investments), and other charges related to acquisitions and divestitures, gains and losses related to acquisitions and divestitures, special tax items or tax benefits (collectively, “Tax Special Items”) and certain other items. We evaluate unusual or special items on an individual basis. Our evaluation of whether to exclude an unusual or special item for purposes of determining our non-U.S. GAAP financial measures considers both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the item, including among other things (i) its nature, (ii) whether or not it relates to our ongoing business operations, and (iii) whether or not we expect it to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis. In 2023, the Company revised its definition of Special Items to include amortization expenses of intangibles from the Liquibox acquisition and future significant acquisitions. The change is prospective and does not impact previously presented results. This change was made to better align the Company's definitions of Special Items with those of its peers, to better reflect the Company's operating performance, and to increase the usefulness of such measures for our stakeholders.
When we present non-U.S. GAAP forward-looking guidance, we do not also provide 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 gains and losses on the disposition of businesses, the ultimate outcome of certain legal or tax proceedings, foreign currency gains or losses resulting from the volatile currency market in Argentina, 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.
38

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Earnings before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, adjusted to exclude the impact of Special Items. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as one of many measures to assess the performance of the business. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is the performance metric used by the Company's chief operating decision maker to evaluate performance of our reportable segments. Adjusted EBITDA is also a metric used to determine performance under the Company's Annual Incentive Plan. We do not believe there are estimates underlying the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, other than those inherent in our U.S. GAAP results of operations, which would render the use and presentation of Adjusted EBITDA misleading. While the nature and amount of individual Special Items vary from period to period, we believe our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is applied consistently to all periods and, in conjunction with other U.S. GAAP and non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, Adjusted EBITDA provides a useful and consistent comparison of our Company's performance to other periods.
The following table shows a reconciliation of U.S. GAAP Net earnings from continuing operations to non-U.S. GAAP Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations:

|  |  |  | Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions) |  |  |  |  |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Net earnings from continuing operations |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 83.4 |  |  | $ | 62.9 |
Interest expense, net |  |  |  |  |  | 65.1 |  |  | 57.8 |
Income tax provision |  |  |  |  |  | 35.7 |  |  | 33.8 |
Depreciation and amortization, net of adjustments(1) |  |  |  |  |  | 60.9 |  |  | 68.9 |
Special Items: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Liquibox intangible amortization |  |  |  |  |  | 7.5 |  |  | 5.0 |
Liquibox inventory step-up expense |  |  |  |  |  | — |  |  | 8.4 |
Restructuring charges |  |  |  |  |  | 15.5 |  |  | (1.2) |
Other restructuring associated costs |  |  |  |  |  | 6.8 |  |  | (0.2) |
Foreign currency exchange loss due to highly inflationary economies |  |  |  |  |  | 4.9 |  |  | 2.6 |
Loss on debt redemption and refinancing activities |  |  |  |  |  | — |  |  | 4.9 |

Pre-tax impact of Special Items |  |  |  |  |  | 33.2 |  |  | 43.9 |
Non-U.S. GAAP Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 278.3 |  |  | $ | 267.3 |

(1)Net of Liquibox intangible amortization of $7.5 million and $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which is included under Special Items.
(2)Charges related to acquisition and divestiture activity for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily consists of income recognized on the final purchase price settlement related to the Liquibox acquisition.
(3)Other Special Items for the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily relate to a one-time, non-cash CTA loss recognized due to the wind-up of one of our legal entities.
The Company may also assess performance using Adjusted EBITDA Margin. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA Margin is a useful measure to assess the profitability of sales made to third parties and the efficiency of our core operations.
Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Per Share
Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Per Share (“Adjusted EPS”) are also used by the Company to measure total company performance. Adjusted Net Earnings is defined as U.S. GAAP net earnings from continuing operations excluding the impact of Special Items. Adjusted EPS is defined as our Adjusted Net Earnings divided by the number of diluted shares outstanding. We believe that Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted EPS are useful measurements of Company performance, along with other U.S. GAAP and non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, because they incorporate non-cash items of depreciation
39

and amortization, including share-based compensation, which impact the overall performance and net earnings of our business. Additionally, Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted EPS reflect the impact of our Adjusted Tax Rate and interest expense on a net and per share basis. While the nature and amount of individual Special Items vary from period to period, we believe our calculation of Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted EPS is applied consistently to all periods and, in conjunction with other U.S. GAAP and non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted EPS provide a useful and consistent comparison of our Company's performance to other periods.
The following table shows a reconciliation of U.S. GAAP Net earnings and Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to non-U.S. GAAP Adjusted net earnings and Adjusted EPS from continuing operations.

|  |  |  | Three Months Ended March 31,
|  |  |  |  |  | 2024 |  | 2023

Weighted average number of common shares outstanding - Diluted |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 145.4 |  |  |  |  | 144.8 |

(1)Includes pre-tax Special Items, plus/less Tax Special Items and the tax impact of Special Items as seen in the following calculation of non-U.S. GAAP Adjusted income tax rate.
(2)Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 does not sum due to rounding.
Adjusted Tax Rate
We also present our adjusted income tax rate (“Adjusted Tax Rate”). The Adjusted Tax Rate is a measure of our U.S. GAAP effective tax rate, adjusted to exclude the tax impact from the Special Items that are excluded from our Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted EPS metrics as well as expense or benefit from any special taxes or Tax Special Items. The Adjusted Tax Rate is an indicator of the taxes on our core business. The tax circumstances and effective tax rate in the specific countries where the Special Items occur will determine the impact (positive or negative) to the Adjusted Tax Rate. While the nature and amount of Tax Special Items vary from period to period, we believe our calculation of the Adjusted Tax Rate is applied consistently to all periods and, in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP effective income tax rate, the Adjusted Tax Rate provides a useful and consistent comparison of the impact that tax expense has on our Company's performance.
The following table shows our calculation of the non-U.S. GAAP Adjusted income tax rate:

|  |  |  | Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions) |  |  |  |  |  | 2024 |  | 2023
U.S. GAAP Earnings before income tax provision from continuing operations |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 119.1 |  |  | $ | 96.7 |
Pre-tax impact of Special Items |  |  |  |  |  | 33.2 |  |  | 43.9 |
Non-U.S. GAAP Adjusted Earnings before income tax provision from continuing operations |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 152.3 |  |  | $ | 140.6 |
U.S. GAAP Income tax provision from continuing operations |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 35.7 |  |  | $ | 33.8 |
Tax Special Items(1) |  |  |  |  |  | (4.1) |  |  | (6.3) |
Tax impact of Special Items(2) |  |  |  |  |  | 7.9 |  |  | 6.2 |
Non-U.S. GAAP Adjusted Income tax provision from continuing operations |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 39.5 |  |  | $ | 33.7 |
U.S. GAAP Effective income tax rate |  |  |  |  |  | 30.0 | % |  | 35.0 | %
Non-U.S. GAAP Adjusted income tax rate |  |  |  |  |  | 25.9 | % |  | 24.0 | %

40

(1)For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, Tax Special Items reflect accruals for uncertain tax positions.
(2)The tax rate used to calculate the tax impact of Special Items is based on the jurisdiction in which the item was recorded.
Organic and Constant Dollar Measures
In our “Net Sales by Geographic Region,” “Net Sales by Segment,” and in some of the discussions and tables that follow, we exclude the impact of foreign currency translation when presenting net sales information, which we define as “constant dollar”, and we exclude acquisitions in the first year after closing, divestiture activity from the time of sale, and the impact of foreign currency translation when presenting net sales information, which we define as “organic.” Changes in net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency translation and/or acquisition and divestiture activity are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. As a worldwide business, it is important that we consider 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 analyzes our financial results including performance metrics such as sales, cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expense, to measure the core performance of our business, we may exclude the impact of foreign currency translation by translating our current period results at prior period foreign currency exchange rates and then make adjustments for other items affecting comparability. 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 investors.
Refer to these specific tables presented later in our MD&A for reconciliations of these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures.
Free Cash Flow
In addition to net cash provided by operating activities, we use free cash flow as a useful measure of performance and an indication of the strength and ability of our operations to generate cash. We define free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures (which is classified as an investing activity). Free cash flow is not defined under U.S. GAAP. Therefore, free cash flow should not be considered a substitute for net income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Free cash flow does not represent residual cash available for discretionary expenditures, as certain debt servicing requirements or other non-discretionary expenditures are not deducted from this measure.
Refer to the specific table presented later in our MD&A under Analysis of Historical Cash Flow for reconciliation of this non-U.S. GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure.
Net Debt
In addition to total debt, we use Net Debt, which we define as total debt less cash and cash equivalents, as a useful measure of our total debt exposure. Net Debt is not defined under U.S. GAAP. Therefore, Net Debt should not be considered a substitute for amounts owed to creditors or other balance sheet information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and it may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Refer to the specific table presented later in our MD&A under Outstanding Indebtedness for reconciliation of this non-U.S. GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure.

Foreign Currency Translation Impact on Condensed Consolidated Financial Results
Since we are a U.S. domiciled company, we translate our foreign currency-denominated financial results into U.S. dollars. Due to the 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. Historically, the most significant currencies that have impacted the translation of our condensed consolidated financial results are the euro, the Australian dollar, the Mexican peso, the Canadian dollar, the British pound, the Chinese Renminbi, the Brazilian real, the New Zealand dollar and the Argentine peso.
The following table presents the approximate favorable or (unfavorable) impact that foreign currency translation had on certain components of our condensed consolidated financial results:

(1)Our volume reported above includes the net impact of changes in unit volume as well as the period-to-period change in the mix of products sold.
The following net sales discussion is on a reported and constant dollar basis.
Food
Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Compared with the Same Period in 2023
As reported, net sales increased by $15 million, or 2%, in 2024 compared with 2023. Foreign currency had an unfavorable impact of less than $1 million. On a constant dollar basis, net sales increased by $16 million, or 2%, compared with 2023, primarily due to the following:
•higher volumes of $25 million, due to strong demand for our bags, case ready and automated solutions; and
•$23 million related to the Liquibox acquisition from the additional month of contributions in 2024.
These increases were partially offset by:
•unfavorable price of $33 million, with decreases primarily in the Americas and EMEA regions.
Protective
Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Compared with the Same Period in 2023
As reported, net sales decreased by $35 million, or 7%, in 2024 as compared to 2023. Foreign currency had an unfavorable impact of $1 million, or less than 1%. On a constant dollar basis, net sales decreased by $33 million, or 7%, in 2024 compared with 2023, primarily due to the following:
•lower volumes of $19 million from end-market softness, primarily in EMEA; and
•unfavorable price of $15 million, with decreases primarily in the Americas and EMEA regions.

Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Compared with the Same Period in 2023
As reported, cost of sales decreased by $15 million, or 2%, in 2024 compared to 2023. Cost of sales was impacted by favorable foreign currency translation of $2 million. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales was relatively flat in 2024 compared to the prior year.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

|  |  |  |  |  | Three Months Ended March 31, |  | %
(In millions) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | Change

Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Compared with the Same Period in 2023
As reported, SG&A expenses decreased by $36 million, or 16%, in 2024 compared to 2023. SG&A expenses were favorably impacted by foreign currency translation of less than $1 million. The decrease in SG&A expenses was due to productivity benefits including the CTO2Grow Program and lower spending in the first quarter of 2024 compared with higher expenses incurred in the first quarter of 2023 related to the Liquibox acquisition, including transaction and integration expenses, and a non-cash CTA loss recognized due to the wind-up of one of our legal entities.
Amortization Expense of Intangible Assets
Amortization expense of intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was as follows:

|  |  |  |  |  | Three Months Ended March 31, |  | %
(In millions) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | Change

Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Compared with the Same Period in 2023
The decrease in amortization expense of intangible assets was nominal in the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 2023. The slight decrease is primarily due to lower amortization of capitalized software, partially offset by an additional month of amortization expense of Liquibox intangible assets in 2024.
CTO2Grow Program
See Note 12, “Restructuring Activities,” for additional details regarding the Company’s restructuring programs.
In August 2023, the Sealed Air Board of Directors approved the 3-year CTO2Grow Program. The CTO2Grow Program seeks to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our solutions-focused go-to-market organization, optimize our portfolio with a focus on automation, digital and sustainable solutions, streamline our supply chain footprint and drive SG&A productivity. The
45

CTO2Grow Program aims to drive annualized savings in the range of $140 to $160 million by the end of 2025. The total cash cost of the CTO2Grow Program is estimated to be in the range of $140 to $160 million, which we expect to be incurred primarily in 2024 and 2025.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred cash expense including $15 million of restructuring charges related to headcount reductions and $7 million of other associated costs in connection with the CTO2Grow Program.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the CTO2Grow Program generated incremental cost benefits of $23 million related to reductions in operating costs. For the full year 2024, we currently expect the CTO2Grow Program to generate incremental cost benefits of approximately $90 million.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, cash outlay for restructuring and restructuring related activities for the CTO2Grow Program was $14 million. For the full year 2024, we currently expect cash outlay for the CTO2Grow Program to be approximately $75 million.
The actual timing of future costs and cash payments related to the CTO2Grow Program described above are subject to change due to a variety of factors that may cause a portion of the costs, spending and benefits to occur later than expected. In addition, changes in foreign exchange rates may impact future costs, spending, benefits and cost synergies.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, net includes the interest expense on our outstanding debt, as well as the net impact of capitalized interest, interest income, the effects of terminated interest rate swaps and the amortization of capitalized senior debt issuance costs and credit facility fees, bond discounts, and terminated treasury locks.

Other Expense, net
Gain on Liquibox final purchase price settlement
In March of 2024, we finalized the Liquibox purchase price settlement with the seller subsequent to the measurement period. The final purchase price settlement resulted in the recognition of pre-tax income of approximately $3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Loss on debt redemption and refinancing activities
SEE recognized a pre-tax loss of $5 million on debt redemption and refinancing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023. See Note 13, “Debt and Credit Facilities,” for further details.
See Note 21, “Other Expense, net,” for the remaining components of Other expense, net.
Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 30%. The three-month period was unfavorably impacted by accruals for uncertain tax positions.
Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was 35%. The three-month period was unfavorably impacted by accruals for uncertain tax positions.
The actual annual effective tax rate could vary as a result of many factors, including but not limited to the following:
•The actual mix of earnings by jurisdiction, which could fluctuate from the Company’s projection;
•The tax effects of other discrete items, including accruals related to tax contingencies, the resolution of worldwide tax matters, tax audit settlements, statute of limitations expirations and changes in tax regulations, which are reflected in the period in which they occur; and
•Any future legislative changes, and any related additional tax optimization to address these changes.
Our effective income tax rate depends upon the realization of our net deferred tax assets. We have deferred tax assets related to non-deductible interest, capitalized expenses, accruals not yet deductible for tax purposes, state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits, employee benefit items, intangible assets and other items.
We have established valuation allowances to reduce our deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Our ability to utilize our deferred tax assets depends in part upon our ability to carryback any losses created by the deduction of these temporary differences, the future income from existing temporary differences, and the ability to generate future taxable income within the respective jurisdictions during the periods in which these temporary differences reverse. If we are unable to generate sufficient future taxable income in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions, or if there is a significant change in the time period within which the underlying temporary differences become taxable or deductible, we could be required to increase our valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets. Conversely, if we have sufficient future taxable income in jurisdictions where we have valuation allowances, we may be able to reduce those valuation allowances.
There was no significant change in our valuation allowance for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
Net increases in unrecognized tax positions of $5 million and $7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were primarily related to interest accruals on existing uncertain tax positions. We are not currently able to reasonably estimate the amount by which the liability for unrecognized tax positions may increase or decrease during the next 12 months as a result of future tax controversy developments or resolution. Interest and penalties on tax assessments are included in Income tax provision on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Compared with the Same Period in 2023
Net earnings in 2024 were unfavorably impacted by $29 million of Special Items, primarily due to:
•restructuring and other restructuring associated costs of $22 million ($16 million, net of taxes);
•Liquibox intangible amortization of $8 million ($6 million, net of taxes);
•foreign currency loss on highly inflationary economies of $5 million ($5 million, net of taxes); and
•Tax Special Items of $4 million due to accruals for uncertain tax positions.
These expenses were partially offset by:
•income related to acquisitions and divestiture activity of $2 million ($2 million, net of taxes).
Net earnings in 2023 were unfavorably impacted by $44 million of Special Items, primarily due to:
•charges related to acquisitions and divestiture activity of $17 million ($15 million, net of taxes);
•Liquibox inventory step-up expense of $8 million ($6 million, net of taxes);
•Liquibox intangible amortization of $5 million ($4 million, net of taxes);
•loss on debt redemption and refinancing activities of $5 million ($4 million, net of taxes); and
•foreign currency loss on highly inflationary economies of $3 million ($3 million, net of taxes).
Adjusted EBITDA by Segment
The Company evaluates performance of the reportable segments based on the results of each segment. The performance metric used by the Company's chief operating decision maker to evaluate the performance of our reportable segments is Segment Adjusted EBITDA. We allocate and disclose depreciation and amortization expense to our segments, although depreciation and amortization are not included in the segment performance metric Segment Adjusted EBITDA. We also allocate and disclose restructuring and other charges and impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets by segment, although these items are not included in the segment performance metric Segment Adjusted EBITDA since restructuring and other charges and impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets are categorized as Special Items. The accounting policies of the reportable segments and Corporate are the same as those applied to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
See “Non-U.S. GAAP Information” for a reconciliation of U.S. GAAP net earnings from continuing operations to non-U.S. GAAP Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations.

On a reported and constant currency basis, Segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $5 million, or 3%, in 2024 compared to 2023, primarily as a result of:
•unfavorable net price realization (which includes price realization less inflation on direct material, non-material and labor costs) of $10 million; and
•higher operating costs of $3 million primarily driven by unfavorable year-over-year impact from inventory related adjustments, partially offset by productivity benefits including the CTO2Grow Program.
These decreases were partially offset by:
•higher volume/mix of $4 million; and
•an additional month of contributions from the Liquibox acquisition of $4 million.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Compared with the Same Period in 2023
On a reported and constant currency basis, Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased by $9 million, or 11%, in 2024 compared to 2023, primarily as a result of:
•lower operating costs of $26 million, primarily driven by productivity benefits including the CTO2Grow Program and cost control actions.
This was partially offset by:
•unfavorable net price realization of $9 million; and
•lower volume/mix of $7 million.
Corporate
Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Compared with the Same Period in 2023
On a reported basis, Corporate Adjusted EBITDA increased by $7 million in 2024 compared with the same period in 2023, primarily driven by foreign currency gains in 2024 compared to foreign currency losses in 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Principal Sources of Liquidity
Our primary sources of cash are the collection of trade receivables generated from the sales of our products and services to our customers and amounts available under our existing lines of credit, including our senior secured credit facility, our accounts receivable securitization programs and access to the capital markets. Our primary uses of cash are payments for operating expenses, investments in working capital, capital expenditures, interest, taxes, stock repurchases, dividends, debt obligations, restructuring expenses and other long-term liabilities. We believe that our current liquidity position and future cash flows from operations will enable us to fund our operations, including all of the items mentioned above, in the next twelve months. We may seek to access the capital markets as we deem appropriate, market conditions permitting.
As of March 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $353 million, of which approximately $299 million, or 85%, was located outside of the U.S. We believe our U.S. cash balances and committed liquidity facilities available to U.S. borrowers are sufficient to fund our U.S. operating requirements and capital expenditures, current debt obligations and dividends. The Company does not expect that, in the near term, cash located outside of the U.S. will be needed to satisfy our obligations, dividends and other demands for cash in the U.S. Of the cash balances located outside of the U.S., approximately $15 million are in the Company's subsidiaries in Russia and Ukraine. We have no other material cash balances deemed to be trapped as of March 31, 2024.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The following table summarizes our accumulated cash and cash equivalents:

(In millions) |  | March 31, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 352.8 |  |  | $ | 346.1 |

See “Analysis of Historical Cash Flow” below.
Accounts Receivable Securitization Programs
At March 31, 2024, we had total availability of $132 million and total outstanding borrowings of $132 million under our U.S. and European accounts receivable securitization programs. At December 31, 2023, we had $135 million available to us and $133 million outstanding borrowings under the programs.
Our trade receivable securitization programs represent borrowings secured by outstanding customer receivables. Therefore, the use and repayment of borrowings under such programs are classified as financing activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We do not recognize the cash flow within operating activities until the underlying invoices have been paid by our customer. The trade receivables that served as collateral for these borrowings are reclassified from Trade receivables, net to Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 10, “Accounts Receivable Securitization Programs,” for further details.
Accounts Receivable Factoring Agreements
We account for our participation in our customers' supply chain financing arrangements and our trade receivable factoring program in accordance with ASC Topic 860, which allows the ownership transfer of accounts receivable to qualify for sale treatment when the appropriate criteria are met. As such, the Company excludes the balances sold under such programs from Trade receivables, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We recognize cash flow from operating activities at the point the receivables are sold under such programs. See Note 11, “Accounts Receivable Factoring Agreements,” for further details.
Gross amounts received under these programs for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were $180 million and $195 million, respectively. If these programs had not been in effect for the three months ended March 31, 2024, we would have been required to collect the invoice amounts directly from the relevant customers in accordance with the agreed payment terms. Approximately $156 million in incremental trade receivables would have been outstanding at March 31, 2024 if collection on such invoice amounts were made directly from our customers on the invoice due date and not through our customers' supply chain financing arrangements or our factoring program.
50

Lines of Credit
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility. We had no outstanding borrowings under the facility at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. There was $3 million and $8 million outstanding under various lines of credit extended to our subsidiaries at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. See Note 13, “Debt and Credit Facilities,” for further details.
Covenants
At March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with our financial covenants and limitations, as discussed in “Covenants” within Note 13, “Debt and Credit Facilities,” which require us, among other things, to maintain a maximum leverage ratio of debt to EBITDA of 5.00 to 1.00 when following the consummation of a material acquisition. In accordance with the terms of the senior secured credit facilities, our maximum leverage ratio of debt to EBITDA will reduce to 4.50 to 1.00 in the second quarter of 2024. At March 31, 2024, as calculated under the covenant, our leverage ratio was 3.63 to 1.00. We expect to be in continued compliance with our debt covenants, including the covenant leverage ratio, over the next 12 months.
Supply Chain Financing Program
As part of our ongoing efforts to manage our working capital and improve our cash flow, we work with suppliers to optimize our purchasing terms and conditions, including extending payment terms. We also facilitate a voluntary supply chain financing program to provide some of our suppliers with the opportunity to sell receivables due from us (our accounts payables) to participating financial institutions at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the financial institutions.
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our accounts payable balances included $164 million and $153 million, respectively, related to invoices from suppliers participating in the program. The cumulative amounts settled through the supply chain financing program for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $108 million, compared to $99 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. See Note 2, "Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards," for further details.
Debt Ratings
Our cost of capital and ability to obtain external financing may be affected by our debt ratings, which the credit rating agencies review periodically. Below is a table that details our credit ratings by the various types of debt by rating agency.

|  | Moody’s Investors Service |  | Standard & Poor’s
Corporate Rating |  | Ba1 |  | BB+
Senior Unsecured Rating |  | Ba2 |  | BB+
Senior Secured Rating |  | Baa2 |  | BBB-
Outlook |  | Negative |  | Stable

These credit ratings are considered to be below investment grade (with the exception of the Baa2 and BBB- Senior Secured Rating from Moody’s Investors Service and Standard & Poor’s, respectively, which are classified as investment grade). A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating organization. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

Outstanding Indebtedness
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our total debt outstanding and our non-U.S. GAAP net debt consisted of the amounts set forth in the following table.

(In millions) |  | March 31, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023
Short-term borrowings |  | $ | 134.6 |  |  | $ | 140.7 |
Current portion of long-term debt |  | 43.5 |  |  | 35.7 |
Total current debt |  | 178.1 |  |  | 176.4 |
Total long-term debt, less current portion(1) |  | 4,484.2 |  |  | 4,513.9 |
Total debt |  | 4,662.3 |  |  | 4,690.3 |
Less: Cash and cash equivalents |  | (352.8) |  |  | (346.1) |
Non-U.S. GAAP net debt |  | $ | 4,309.5 |  |  | $ | 4,344.2 |

(1)Amounts are net of unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs of $35 million and $37 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. See Note 13, “Debt and Credit Facilities,” for further details.
Analysis of Historical Cash Flow
The following table shows the changes in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |  |
(In millions) |  | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | Change
Net cash provided by operating activities |  | $ | 125.1 |  |  | $ | 51.9 |  |  | $ | 73.2 |
Net cash used in investing activities |  | (38.0) |  |  | (1,206.9) |  |  | 1,168.9 |
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities |  | (69.1) |  |  | 999.1 |  |  | (1,068.2) |
Effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents |  | (11.3) |  |  | 2.9 |  |  | (14.2) |

In addition to net cash from operating activities, we use free cash flow as a useful measure of performance and an indication of the strength and ability of our operations to generate cash. We define free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures (which is classified as an investing activity). Free cash flow is not defined under U.S. GAAP. Therefore, free cash flow should not be considered a substitute for net income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Free cash flow does not represent residual cash available for discretionary expenditures, as certain debt servicing requirements or other non-discretionary expenditures are not deducted from this measure. We historically have generated the majority of our annual free cash flow in the second half of the year. Below are the details of non-U.S. GAAP free cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |  |
(In millions) |  | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | Change
Cash flow provided by operating activities |  | $ | 125.1 |  |  | $ | 51.9 |  |  | $ | 73.2 |
Capital expenditures |  | (47.1) |  |  | (64.9) |  |  | 17.8 |
Non-U.S. GAAP free cash flow |  | $ | 78.0 |  |  | $ | (13.0) |  |  | $ | 91.0 |

Operating Activities
Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Compared with the Same Period in 2023
Net cash provided by operating activities was $125 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $52 million in 2023. The increase in cash flow from operating activities was primarily driven by our working capital accounts (inventories, trade receivables and accounts payable), which was $50 million favorable in 2024 compared to 2023. Accounts payable was favorable by $111 million compared to 2023, due to an increase in raw material purchases and improved payment terms in the first quarter 2024 compared to the fourth quarter 2023 coupled with raw material price deflation in the first quarter 2023
52

compared with the fourth quarter 2022. This was partially offset by the impact of trade receivables on cash flow from operating activities which was $59 million unfavorable compared to 2023, as a result of the year over year impact of our accounts receivable factoring program and lower collections from our customers. There was also a higher use of cash for inventory of $2 million compared to 2023.
Other assets and liabilities favorably impacted cash flow by $37 million compared to 2023. This was primarily due to the impact of incentive compensation, including lower cash payments made during the first quarter 2024, as compared to the prior year, coupled with a higher accrual as of March 31, 2024, as compared to the prior year.
This was partially offset by lower non-cash items to adjust net earnings to net cash provided by operating activities recorded in 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.
Investing Activities
Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Compared with the Same Period in 2023
Net cash used in investing activities was $38 million in 2024 compared to $1,207 million in 2023.
The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to acquisition activities. During the first quarter of 2023, we completed the acquisition of Liquibox for $1,148 million, net of cash acquired. See Note 5, "Acquisitions," for further details.
Additionally, cash used for capital expenditures in 2024 was $47 million compared to $65 million in 2023.
Financing Activities
Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Compared with the Same Period in 2023
Net cash flows from financing activities was a use of $69 million in 2024, compared to a source of $999 million in 2023.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the decrease in cash flows from financing activities was primarily due to debt related activities. There was a use of cash of $29 million for debt related activities in 2024 primarily driven by principal payments on the Term Loan A due 2027. There was a net source of cash of $1,133 million for debt related activities in the prior year primarily driven by the issuance of $775 million 6.125% Senior Notes due 2028, less $11 million in capitalized issuance costs, $650 million of proceeds from Term Loan A due 2027, less $11 million in capitalized issuance costs, and $168 million of net proceeds from short-term borrowings, partially offset by the extinguishment of 4.500% Senior Notes due 2023, resulting in cash outflow of $437 million (including the early payment premium of $5 million).
In addition, there were no share repurchases in 2024, compared to $80 million in the prior year.
Changes in Working Capital

(In millions) |  | March 31, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023 |  | Change
Working capital (current assets less current liabilities) |  | $ | 490.0 |  |  | $ | 454.3 |  |  | $ | 35.7 |
Current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) |  | 1.3x |  | 1.3x |  |
Quick ratio (current assets, less inventories divided by current liabilities) |  | 0.8x |  | 0.8x |  |

The $36 million, or 8%, increase in working capital during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due the following:
•decrease in other current liabilities of $59 million, reflecting the payment of performance-based compensation and profit sharing in the first quarter 2024, offset by current year accruals, as well as lower volume rebate accruals;
•increase in trade receivables, net of $19 million, primarily due to the timing of collections;
•increase in inventories, net of $16 million, due to the rebuild of inventory after the seasonal year-end reductions; and
•increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $10 million.
53

The increases in working capital were partially offset by:
•increase in accounts payable of $47 million, due to seasonal raw material purchases and payment term improvement initiatives; and
•decrease in income tax receivables of $17 million.
Changes in Stockholders’ Equity
The $49 million, or 9%, increase in stockholders’ equity in the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to the following:
•net earnings of $82 million;
•stock issued for profit sharing contribution paid in stock of $25 million;
•unrealized gains on derivative instruments of $10 million;
•the recognition of pension items within AOCL of $1 million; and
•the effect of share-based incentive compensation of $1 million, including the impact of share-based compensation expense and netting of shares to cover the employee tax withholding amounts.
These increases were partially offset by:
•cumulative translation adjustment loss of $40 million; and
•dividends paid on our common stock and dividend equivalent accruals related to unvested equity awards of $30 million.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
At March 31, 2024, we were party to foreign currency forward contracts, which did not have a significant impact on our liquidity.
The information set forth in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in Note 14, “Derivatives and Hedging Activities,” under the caption “Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Designated as Cash Flow Hedges” and “Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Not Designated as Hedges” is incorporated herein by reference. For further discussion about these contracts and other financial instruments, see Part I, Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”
Recently Issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards, Accounting Guidance and Disclosure Requirements
We are subject to recently issued statements of financial accounting standards, accounting guidance and disclosure requirements. Note 2, “Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards,” which is contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, describes these new accounting standards and is incorporated herein by reference.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in our 2023 Form 10-K. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Part II, Item 7 of our 2023 Form 10-K.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in the conditions in the global financial markets, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices and the creditworthiness of our customers and suppliers, which may adversely affect our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. We seek to minimize these risks through regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. We do not purchase, hold or sell derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Interest Rates
From time to time, we may use interest rate swaps, collars or options to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. At March 31, 2024, we had no outstanding interest rate swaps, collars or options.
The information set forth in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in Note 14, “Derivatives and Hedging Activities,” under the caption “Interest Rate Swaps,” is incorporated herein by reference.
See Note 15, “Fair Value Measurements, Equity Investments and Other Financial Instruments,” for details of the methodology and inputs used to determine the fair value of our fixed rate debt. The fair value of our fixed rate debt varies with changes in interest rates. Generally, the fair value of fixed rate debt will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. A hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would result in a decrease of $81 million in the fair value of the total debt balance at March 31, 2024. These changes in the fair value of our fixed rate debt do not alter our obligations to repay the outstanding principal amount or any related interest of such debt.
Foreign Exchange Rates
Operations
As a large global organization, we face exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and could materially impact our consolidated financial condition and results of operations in the future. See Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” above for the impacts that foreign currency translation had on our operations.
Argentina
Economic events in Argentina, including the default on some of its international debt obligations, which have subsequently been renegotiated, exposed us to heightened levels of foreign currency exchange risks. Despite some recent debt restructuring, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on the Argentine peso continue to impact our financial results. As of July 1, 2018, Argentina was designated as a highly inflationary economy. We recognized a remeasurement loss of $5 million and $3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, within Other expense, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, related to the designation of Argentina as a highly inflationary economy under U.S. GAAP. See Note 1, "Organization and Basis of Presentation," for additional information. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, 2% of our consolidated net sales were derived from our products sold in Argentina. As of March 31, 2024, our net assets included $15 million of cash and cash equivalents domiciled in Argentina and our Argentina subsidiary had cumulative translation losses of $22 million.
Russia
Recent fluctuations of the ruble have exposed us to heightened levels of foreign currency exchange risks. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, approximately 1% of our consolidated net sales were derived from products sold in Russia. As of
55

March 31, 2024, our net assets included $12 million of cash and cash equivalents domiciled in Russia and our Russia subsidiary had cumulative translation losses of $48 million.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
We use foreign currency forward contracts to fix the amounts payable or receivable on some transactions denominated in foreign currencies. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign exchange rates at March 31, 2024 would have caused us to pay approximately $43 million to terminate these contracts. Based on our overall foreign exchange exposure, we estimate this change would not materially affect our financial position and liquidity. The effect on our results of operations would be substantially offset by the impact of the hedged items.
Our foreign currency forward contracts are described in Note 14, “Derivatives and Hedging Activities,” which is incorporated herein by reference.
Net Investment Hedge
In February 2023, the €400.0 million 4.500% senior notes issued in June 2015 that were previously designated as a net investment hedge, hedging a portion of our net investment in a certain European subsidiary against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, were repaid.
In the first quarter of 2023, we entered into a series of cross-currency swaps with a combined notional amount of $433 million. Each of these cross-currency swaps were designated as net investment hedges of the Company's foreign currency exposure of its net investment in certain Euro-functional currency subsidiaries with Euro-denominated net assets, and the Company pays a fixed rate of Euro-based interest and receives a fixed rate of U.S. dollar interest. The Company has elected the spot method for assessing the effectiveness of these contracts. The maturity date for this series of cross-currency swaps is February 1, 2028. We recognized less than $1 million of interest income related to these contracts, which is reflected within Interest expense, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for both of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedges of net investments in foreign operations, settlements and changes in fair values of the derivative instruments are recognized in Unrealized gain or loss on net investment hedges, a component of AOCL, net of taxes, to offset the changes in the values of the net investments being hedged. Any portion of the net investment hedge that is determined to be ineffective is recorded in Other expense, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Other Derivative Instruments
We may use other derivative instruments from time to time to manage exposure to foreign exchange rates and to access international financing transactions. These instruments can potentially limit foreign exchange exposure by swapping borrowings denominated in one currency for borrowings denominated in another currency.
Outstanding Debt
Our outstanding debt is generally denominated in the functional currency of the borrower. We believe that this enables us to better match operating cash flows with debt service requirements and to better match the currency of assets and liabilities. The U.S. dollar equivalent amount of outstanding debt denominated in a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar was $121 million and $131 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Customer Credit
We are exposed to credit risk from our customers. In the normal course of business, we extend credit to our customers if they satisfy pre-defined credit criteria. We maintain an allowance for credit losses on trade receivables for estimated losses resulting from the failure of our customers to make required payments. An additional allowance may be required if the financial condition of our customers deteriorates. Our customers may default on their obligations to us due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, operational failure or other reasons.
56

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that our employees accumulate this information and communicate it to our management, including our Interim Co-Chief Executive Officers (our principal executive officers) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only “reasonable assurance” of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily must apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures under Rule 13a-15. Our management, including our Interim Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, supervised and participated in this evaluation. Based upon that evaluation and as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Interim Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the “reasonable assurance” level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

(a) In March 2024, we transferred 707,590 shares of our common stock, par value $0.10 per share, from treasury to our 401(K) and Profit Sharing Plan as part of our 2023 profit sharing contribution. The issuance of such shares to the plan was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, because such transaction did not involve an “offer” or “sale” of securities under Section 2(a)(3) of the Securities Act.
(c) Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
The table below sets forth the total number of shares of our common stock, par value $0.10 per share, that we repurchased in each month of the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the average price paid per share and the maximum approximate dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under our publicly announced plans or programs.

Period |  | Total Number of Shares Purchased (1) |  | Average Price Paid Per Share |  | Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Announced Plans or Programs |  | Maximum Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs (1)

(1)On August 2, 2021, the Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program of $1.0 billion. This program has no expiration and replaced the previous authorization. It does not obligate us to repurchase any specified amount of shares and remains subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors. As of March 31, 2024, there was $537 million remaining under the currently authorized repurchase program.
