¹Reported revenue in Q1 2022 includes $26.6 million of revenues associated with our North American single use bottled water retail business and $2.8 million of revenues associated with our Russia business; there is no revenue attributable to these businesses in Q1 2023, as we exited these businesses before the first quarter of 2023.

"During the first quarter we once again delivered strong revenue and earnings growth, driven by both pricing and increased customer demand across our Water Your Way platform. Our customer base and retention rates remained high as we continued to improve the customer experience through higher service levels and investments in the digital experience, customer satisfaction and operating efficiencies. I am proud of the efforts of our team and their focus on increasing revenue and profit while simultaneously improving the customer experience," said Tom Harrington, Chief Executive Officer.

"Our first quarter performance provides a solid foundation for achieving our 2023 outlook of between $2.30 billion and $2.35 billion dollars of revenue and Adjusted EBITDA of between $450 million and $470 million dollars. We remain confident in our 2024 outlook for high single digit organic revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA approaching $530 million for 2024," said Mr. Harrington.

FIRST QUARTER GLOBAL PERFORMANCE

• Revenue increased 4% to $547 million compared to $526 million (increased by 6% excluding the impact of foreign exchange). The increase was driven by revenue growth of 11% in Water Direct / Water Exchange and 21% in Water Refill / Water Filtration, partially offset by the exit from our North America single use bottled water retail business and the exit from our business in Russia, as well as foreign exchange headwinds. Revenue growth by channel is tabulated below:

Revenue excluding foreign exchange impact	$        558.6		$      526.1		$      32.5		6 %

²Reported revenue in Q1 2022 includes $26.6 million of revenues associated with our North American single use bottled water retail business and $2.8 million of revenues associated with our Russia business; there is no revenue attributable to these businesses in Q1 2023, as we exited these businesses before the first quarter of 2023.

• Gross profit increased 10% to $328 million compared to $300 million. Gross margin increased 320 bps to 60.1% compared to 56.9%, driven by increased demand and pricing initiatives and the exit from the single-use retail bottled water business in North America, partially offset by foreign exchange headwinds.
• SG&A expenses increased 9% to $304 million compared to $278 million. The increase was driven by higher selling and operating costs that supported volume and revenue growth primarily related to labor, fuel and freight cost increases.
• Reported net income and net income per diluted share were $6 million and $0.04, respectively, compared to reported net loss and net loss per diluted share of $7 million and $0.04, respectively. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share were $15 million and $0.09, respectfully, compared to the prior year, at $14 million and $0.09, respectively.
• Adjusted EBITDA increased 8% to $95 million compared to $88 million, driven primarily by pricing initiatives, consumer demand across our customer base and effective expense management. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 17.4% for the quarter.
• Net cash provided by operating activities of $34 million, less $56 million of capital expenditures and additions to intangible assets, resulted in $(22) million of free cash flow, or $(19) million of adjusted free cash flow (adjusting for the items set forth on Exhibit 7), compared to adjusted free cash flow of $(13) million in the prior year.

FIRST QUARTER REPORTING SEGMENT PERFORMANCE

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company realigned certain of its businesses previously included in the Rest of World segment (now renamed "Europe") between the Europe reporting segment and the Other category. The Company's two reporting segments are now North America and Europe. Segment reporting results have been recast to reflect these changes for all periods presented.

 North America

• Revenue increased 4% to $412 million driven by revenue growth of 12% in Water Direct / Water Exchange, and 24% in Water Refill / Water Filtration driven by increased demand for products and services from residential and business customers, partially offset by the exit from our single use bottled water retail business.

QUARTERLY DIVIDEND

ABOUT PRIMO WATER CORPORATION

Primo Water is a leading pure-play water solutions provider in North America and Europe and generated approximately $2.2 billion in annual revenue in 2022. Primo Water operates largely under a recurring revenue model in the large format water category (defined as 3 gallons or greater). This business strategy is commonly referred to as "razor-razorblade" because the initial sale of a product creates a base of users who frequently purchase complementary consumable products. The razor in Primo Water's revenue model is its industry leading line-up of innovative water dispensers, which are sold through approximately 10,000 retail locations and online at various price points. The dispensers help increase household and business penetration which drives recurring purchases of Primo Water's razorblade offering or water solutions. Primo Water's razorblade offering is comprised of Water Direct, Water Exchange, and Water Refill. Through its Water Direct business, Primo Water delivers sustainable hydration solutions across its 21-country footprint direct to customers, whether at home or to businesses. Through its Water Exchange business, customers visit retail locations and purchase a pre-filled bottle of water. Once consumed, empty bottles are exchanged at our recycling center displays, which provide a ticket that offers a discount toward the purchase of a new bottle. Water Exchange is available in approximately 17,500 retail locations. Through its Water Refill business, customers refill empty bottles at approximately 23,500 self-service refill drinking water machines. Primo Water also offers water filtration units across its 21-country footprint.

Primo's water solutions expand consumer access to purified, spring, and mineral water to promote a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle while simultaneously reducing plastic waste and pollution. Primo is committed to its water stewardship standards and is proud to partner with the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) in North America as well as with Watercoolers Europe (WE), which ensure strict adherence to safety, quality, sanitation and regulatory standards for the benefit of consumer protection.

Primo is headquartered in Tampa, Florida (USA). For more information, visit www.primowatercorp.com.

Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement its reporting of financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), Primo utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures.  Primo excludes from GAAP revenue the impact of foreign exchange to separate its impact from Primo's results of operations.  Primo also utilizes Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to separate the impact of certain items from the underlying business.  Because Primo uses these adjusted financial results in the management of its business, management believes this supplemental information is useful to investors for their independent evaluation and understanding of Primo's underlying business performance and the performance of its management.  Additionally, Primo supplements its reporting of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities from continuing operations determined in accordance with GAAP by excluding additions to property, plant and equipment and additions to intangible assets to present free cash flow, and by excluding the items identified on the exhibits hereto to present adjusted free cash flow, which management believes provides useful information to investors in assessing our performance, comparing Primo's performance to the performance of the Company's peer group and assessing the Company's ability to service debt and finance strategic opportunities, which include investing in Primo's business, making strategic acquisitions, paying dividends, and strengthening the balance sheet. With respect to the Company's expectations of its future performance, the Company's reconciliations of Q2 2023 and full year 2023 Adjusted EBITDA and 2024 Adjusted EBITDA are not available, as the Company is unable to quantify certain amounts to the degree of precision that would be required in the relevant GAAP measures without unreasonable effort. These items include taxes, interest costs that would occur if the Company issued debt, and costs to acquire and/or sell a business if the Company executed such transactions, which could significantly affect our financial results. These items depend on highly variable factors and any such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. Primo expects the variability of these factors to have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on the Company's future GAAP financial results. The non-GAAP financial measures described above are in addition to, and not meant to be considered superior to, or a substitute for, Primo's financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this earnings announcement reflect management's judgment of particular items, and may be different from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

A reduced or 0% tax rate is applied to jurisdictions where we do not expect to realize a tax benefit due to a history of operating losses or other factors resulting in a valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets.
(b)  Includes the impact of dilutive securities of 1,077 for the three months ended April 2, 2022.  These dilutive securities were excluded from GAAP diluted weighted average common shares outstanding due to net loss reported in the period.
