Business Context and Reporting Period

Reynolds Consumer Products Inc. is a market-leading consumer products company producing cooking, serving, clean-up, and storage products under brands such as Reynolds and Hefty.

Comparative data has been recast to reflect this realignment.

Key Financial Metrics

Note: Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. YTD figures represent the six months ended June 30.

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Q2 2026 net revenues increased 1% ($6 million) year-over-year, driven by higher pricing to offset input costs, partially offset by lower volume. YTD revenue increased 4% ($65 million).
• Profitability: Net income rose 22% in Q2 and 41% YTD. This improvement was driven by lower operational costs and the absence of one-time costs (CEO transition and strategic initiatives) that impacted the prior year.
• Cost of Sales: Q2 cost of sales decreased 2% due to lower operational costs and volume. YTD cost of sales increased 2% due to higher input costs.
• Segment Performance:
  • Reynolds Cooking & Kitchen Essentials: Revenue up 6% (Q2) and 14% (YTD) due to pricing.
  • Hefty Home & Tableware: Revenue down 10% (Q2) and 6% (YTD) due to lower foam volume, though Adjusted EBITDA margins improved significantly.
  • Hefty Storage & Organization: Revenue up 5% (Q2) and 5% (YTD) driven by volume.
• Debt Reduction: The company made a voluntary principal repayment of $50 million on its Term Loan Facility during the first half of 2026.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

Management Commentary: Management attributes the strong profitability to operational cost efficiencies and pricing actions. The company continues to invest in innovation and sustainable product lines. No specific forward-looking financial guidance (e.g., full-year revenue or EPS targets) is provided in this text.

Risks and Contingencies:

• Input Costs: Ongoing exposure to raw material, energy, labor, and freight costs, including potential impacts from tariffs and trade sanctions.
• Customer Concentration: Risks related to relationships with major customers and potential consolidation of customer bases.
• Market Dynamics: Competition, pricing pressures, and changes in consumer preferences regarding environmental concerns.
• Supply Chain: Potential disruptions in raw material supply or manufacturing facilities.

Unusual Items: The prior year (2025) included $13 million in debt refinancing expenses and costs related to CEO transition and strategic initiatives, which did not recur in 2026, artificially inflating the year-over-year profit comparison.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Volume vs. Price Mix: Verify if the revenue growth is sustainable given the reported decline in volume across multiple segments.
• Input Cost Inflation: Monitor raw material costs to ensure pricing power can continue to offset inflation without further volume erosion.
• Debt Covenants: Confirm continued compliance with the springing financial covenant (First Lien Net Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA) on the Revolving Facility.
• Segment Realignment Impact: Assess whether the January 2026 segment reorganization is delivering the intended efficiency gains and innovation focus.
• Working Capital: Review the $133 million increase in inventory (YTD) to ensure it aligns with sales demand and does not indicate obsolescence risk.
