Description of Business
As used herein, “Primo,”“the Company,”“our Company,”“Primo Water Corporation,”“we,”“us,” or “our” refers to Primo Water Corporation, together with its consolidated subsidiaries. Primo is a leading provider of sustainable drinking water solutions direct to customers in North America and Europe. Primo operates largely under a recurring razor/razorblade revenue model. The razor in Primo’s revenue model is its industry leading line-up of sleek and innovative water dispensers, which are sold through retailers
and online at various price points. The dispensers help increase household penetration, which drives recurring purchases of Primo’s razorblade offering. Primo’s razorblade offering is comprised of Water Direct, Water Exchange, and Water Refill. Through its Water Direct business, Primo delivers sustainable hydration solutions across its i22-country footprint direct to the customer’s door, whether at home or to commercial businesses. Through its Water Exchange and Water Refill businesses, Primo offers pre-filled and reusable containers at over i13,000
locations and water refill units at approximately i22,000 locations, respectively. Primo also offers water filtration units.
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 in North America as well as with Watercoolers Europe, which ensure strict adherence to safety, quality, sanitation
and regulatory standards for the benefit of consumer protection. During 2020, our U.S. operations achieved a carbon neutral certification under the CarbonNeutral Protocol, an international standard administered by Natural Capital Partners. This certification is in addition to the certifications in our European operations where we have maintained carbon neutrality for the past nine consecutive years in many of our markets.
i
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying
interim unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of our results of operations for the interim periods reported and of our financial condition as of the date of the interim balance sheet have been included. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 2, 2021 included herein was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2021 (our “2020 Annual Report”). This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with
the annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes in our 2020 Annual Report. The accounting policies used in these interim Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those used in the annual Consolidated Financial Statements.
The presentation of these interim Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes.
COVID-19 Pandemic
In response to the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, certain government authorities have enacted programs which provide various economic stimulus measures, including several tax provisions. Among the business tax provisions is the deferral of certain payroll and other tax remittances to future years
and wage subsidies as reimbursement for a portion of certain furloughed employees’ salaries. During the three and six months ended July 3, 2021, we received wage subsidies under these programs totaling $i0.8 million and $i2.2
million, respectively. We review our eligibility for these programs for each qualifying period and account for such wage subsidies on an accrual basis when the conditions for eligibility are met. We have adopted an accounting policy to present wage subsidies as a reduction of selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses. In addition, deferred payroll and other taxes totaling $i8.1 million and $i9.0
million were included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and $ii7.5/
million was included in other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021, respectively.

Significant Accounting Policies
Included in Note 1 of our 2020 Annual Report is a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies. Provided below is a summary of additional accounting policies that
are significant to the financial results of the Company.
iCost of sales
We record costs associated with the manufacturing of our products in cost of sales. Shipping and handling costs incurred to store, prepare and move products between production facilities or from production facilities to branch locations or storage facilities are
recorded in cost of sales. Shipping and handling costs incurred to deliver products from our North America and Rest of World reporting segment branch locations to the end-user consumer of those products are recorded in SG&A expenses. All other costs incurred in the shipment of products from our production facilities to customer locations are reflected in cost of sales. Shipping and handling costs included in SG&A expenses were $i118.6 million and $i228.7
million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2021, respectively, and $i99.8 million and $i219.8 million for the
three and six months ended June 27, 2020, respectively. Finished goods inventory costs include the cost of direct labor and materials and the applicable share of overhead expense chargeable to production.
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended
its guidance on disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans. The update amends existing annual disclosure requirements applicable to all employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans by adding, removing, and clarifying certain disclosures. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted, and are to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. Adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued guidance which provides optional expedients and exceptions to account for contracts,
hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or any other reference rates expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. This guidance is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. The Company has not adopted any of the optional expedients or exceptions through July 3, 2021 but will continue to evaluate the possible adoption of any such expedients or exceptions during the effective period as circumstances
evolve.
Note 2—iDiscontinued Operations
In February 2020, the Company completed the sale of our coffee, tea and extract solutions
business, S. & D. Coffee, Inc. (“S&D”) to Westrock Coffee Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Westrock”), pursuant to which Westrock acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity of S&D from the Company (“S&D Divestiture”). The consideration was $i405.0 million paid at closing in cash, with customary post-closing working capital adjustments, which were resolved in June 2020 by payment of $i1.5
million from the Company to Westrock.
The Company used the proceeds of the S&D Divestiture to finance a portion of the acquisition of Primo Water Corporation (“Legacy Primo” and such transaction, the “Legacy Primo Acquisition”). See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Legacy Primo Acquisition.

and utilized a significant portion of the existing U.S. net operating loss carry-forwards.
/
Note 3—iRevenue
Our
principal sources of revenue are from bottled water delivery direct to consumers primarily in North America and Europe and from providing multi-gallon purified bottled water, self-service refill drinking water and water dispensers through retailers in North America. iRevenue is recognized, net of sales returns, when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We measure revenue based on the consideration specified in the customer arrangement, and revenue is recognized when the performance obligations in the customer arrangement
are satisfied. A performance obligation is a contractual promise to transfer a distinct service to the customer. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when the customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation. Customers typically receive the benefit of our services as they are performed. Substantially all our customer contracts require that we be compensated for services performed to date. This may be upon shipment of goods or upon delivery to the customer, depending on contractual terms. Shipping and handling costs paid by the customer to us are included in revenue and costs incurred by us for shipping and handling activities that are performed after a customer obtains control of the product are accounted
for as fulfillment costs. In addition, we exclude from net revenue and cost of sales taxes assessed by governmental authorities on revenue-producing transactions. Although we occasionally accept returns of products from our customers, historically returns have not been material.
The nature of certain of our contracts give rise to variable consideration including cash discounts, volume-based rebates, point of sale promotions, and other promotional discounts to certain customers. For all promotional programs and discounts, we estimate the rebate or discount that will be granted to the customer and record an accrual upon invoicing. These estimated rebates or discounts are included
in the transaction price of our contracts with customers as a reduction to net revenues and are included as accrued sales incentives in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accrued sales incentives were $i10.9 million and $i9.9
million on July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021, respectively.
We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts (i) with an original expected length of one year or less or (ii) for which we recognize revenue at the amount in which it has the right to invoice as the product is delivered.
Contract liabilities relate primarily to advances received from our customers before revenue is recognized. These amounts are recorded as deferred
revenue and are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The advances are expected to be earned as revenue within one year of receipt. Deferred revenues at July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021 were $i14.6 million and $i11.7
million, respectively. The amount of revenue recognized in the three and six months ended July 3, 2021 that was included in the January 2, 2021 deferred revenue balance was $i1.5 million and $i9.6
million, respectively.
In general, our business segmentation is aligned according to the nature and economic characteristics of our products and customer relationships and provides meaningful disaggregation of each business segment’s results of operations.
i
Further
disaggregation of net revenue to external customers by geographic area based on customer location is as follows:
In March 2020, the Company completed the Legacy Primo Acquisition, adding North America’s leading single source provider of multi-gallon purified bottled water, self-service refill drinking water and water dispensers sold through retailers to the Company’s catalog of residential
and commercial bottled water delivery businesses in North America and Europe. The Legacy Primo Acquisition was structured as an exchange offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Legacy Primo for per-share consideration of (i) $i14.00 in cash, (ii) i1.0229
common shares plus cash in lieu of any fractional common share, or (iii) $i5.04 in cash and i0.6549
common shares, at the election of Legacy Primo’s stockholders, subject to the proration procedures set forth in the merger agreement. Immediately following the consummation of the exchange offer, we indirectly acquired the remaining Legacy Primo shares through a merger between Legacy Primo and one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Measurement
period adjustments recorded during the six months ended July 3, 2021 include a deferred tax adjustment related to the final valuation and an adjustment to accounts payable and accrued liabilities based on a review of the respective fair value as of the date of the Legacy Primo Acquisition. The measurement period adjustment did not have a material effect on our results of operations in prior periods.

Note
5—iShare-based Compensation
In the second quarter of 2021, we granted i70,920
common shares with an aggregate grant date fair value of approximately $i1.2 million to the non-management members of our Board of Directors under the Amended and Restated Primo Water Corporation Equity Incentive Plan. The common shares were issued in consideration of the directors’ annual board retainer fee and are fully vested upon issuance.
Note
6—iIncome Taxes
Income tax benefit was $i3.4 million on pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $i11.7
million for the three months ended July 3, 2021, as compared to income tax benefit of $i1.4 million on pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $i133.1
million in the comparable prior year period. Income tax expense was $i1.3 on pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $i17.2
million for the six months ended July 3, 2021, as compared to income tax benefit of $i4.7 million on pre-tax loss of continuing operations of $i163.8
million in the comparable prior year period. The effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended July 3, 2021 were i29.1% and (i7.6)%,
respectively, compared to i1.1% and i2.9% in the comparable prior year periods.
The effective tax rate for the three and
six months ended July 3, 2021 varied from the effective tax rate in the comparable prior year period due primarily to increased earnings in taxable jurisdictions and impairment charges incurred in the prior year period for which minimal tax benefit was recognized.
The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended July 3, 2021 varied from the statutory tax rate primarily due to losses in tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit is recognized due to existing valuation allowances, as well as income in tax jurisdictions with tax rates lower than the Canadian statutory tax rate.
Note 7—iCommon
Shares and Net (Loss) Income per Common Share
Common Shares
On May 4, 2021, our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program for up to $i50.0 million of our outstanding common shares over a i12-month
period commencing on May 10, 2021 (the “Repurchase Plan”). For the three and six months ended July 3, 2021, we repurchased ii786,017/
common shares for approximately $ii13.0/
million through open market transactions under the Repurchase Plan. Shares purchased under the Repurchase Plan were subsequently canceled. There can be no assurance as to the precise number of common shares, if any, that will be repurchased under the Repurchase Plan in the future, or the aggregate dollar amount of common shares to be purchased in future periods. We may discontinue purchases at any time, subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.

Net (Loss) Income per Common Share
Basic net (loss) income per common share is calculated by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted net (loss) income per common share is
calculated by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted to include the effect, if dilutive, of the exercise of in-the-money stock options, performance-based RSUs, and time-based RSUs during the periods presented. iSet forth below is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator for the diluted net (loss) income per common share computations for the periods indicated:

Note 8—iSegment
Reporting
Our broad portfolio of products includes bottled water, water dispensers, purified bottled water, self-service refill drinking water, premium spring, sparkling and flavored water, mineral water, filtration equipment, and coffee.
1 We
revised the allocation of information technology costs from the All Other category to our North America and Rest of World reporting segments to reflect how the Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker, measures the performance of our segments. As a result of the change, operating income (loss) for the prior periods have been recast to decrease operating income in our North America reporting segment by $i0.4 million, increase operating loss in our Rest of World reporting segment by $i1.5
million, and decrease operating loss in the All Other category by $i1.9 million for the three months ended June 27, 2020. Operating income (loss) for the six months ended June 27, 2020 has been recast to decrease operating income in our North America reporting segment by $i1.0
million, increase operating loss in our Rest of World reporting segment by $i3.4 million, and decrease operating loss in the All Other category by $i4.4 million.

Revenues
by channel by reporting segment were as follows:
On April 30, 2021, we issued $i750.0 million of i4.375% senior notes
due April 30, 2029 (“2029 Notes”) to qualified purchasers in a private placement offering under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States to non-U.S. purchasers pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act and other applicable laws. The 2029 Notes were issued by our wholly-owned subsidiary Primo Water Holdings Inc. The 2029 Notes are guaranteed by the Company and certain subsidiaries that are currently obligors under the $i350.0
million senior secured revolving credit facility and the €i450.0 million of i3.875% senior notes due October 31, 2028. The 2029 Notes
will mature on April 30, 2029 and interest is payable semi-annually on April 30th and October 31st of each year commencing on October 31, 2021. The proceeds of the 2029 Notes, along with available cash on hand, were used to redeem in full the the $i750.0 million of i5.500%
senior notes due April 1, 2025 (“2025 Notes”) and pay related premiums, fees and expenses.
We incurred approximately $i11.2 million of financing fees for the issuance of the 2029 Notes. The financing fees are being amortized using the effective interest method over an ieight-year
period, which represents the term to maturity of the 2029 Notes.
18
The redemption of the 2025 Notes included $i20.6 million in premium payments, accrued interest of $i3.6
million, and the write-off of $i6.6 million in deferred financing fees.
Note 11—iAccumulated
Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income
i
Changes in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (“AOCI”) by component for the three and six months ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020 were as follows:
2 Net of $i1.3 million of associated tax impact that resulted in a decrease to the gain on the sale of discontinued operations for the six months ended June
27, 2020.
3 These AOCI components are included in the computation of net periodic pension cost.

Note 12—iCommitments and
Contingencies
We are subject to various claims and legal proceedings with respect to matters such as governmental regulations and other actions arising out of the normal course of business. Management believes that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.
We had $i51.5 million in standby letters of credit outstanding as of July 3,
2021 ($i50.6 million as of January 2, 2021).
Guarantees
After the sale of our legacy carbonated soft drink and juice business in January 2018, we have continued to provide contractual payment guarantees to itwo
third-party lessors of certain real property used in these businesses. The leases were conveyed to the buyer as part of the sale, but our guarantee was not released by the landlord. The itwo lease agreements mature in 2027 and 2028. The maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments under the guarantee is approximately $i17.8
million as of July 3, 2021, which was calculated based on the minimum lease payments of the leases over the remaining term of the agreements. The sale documents require the buyer to pay all post-closing obligations under these conveyed leases, and to reimburse us if the landlord calls on a guarantee. The buyer has also agreed to a covenant to negotiate with the landlords for a release of our guarantees. Discussions with the landlords are ongoing. We currently do not believe it is probable we would be required to perform under any of these guarantees or any of the underlying obligations.

Note
13—iFair Value Measurements
FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, the inputs used to measure fair value are prioritized based on a three-level hierarchy. This
hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
•Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
•Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to
the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, short-term borrowings and long-term debt approximate their respective fair values, except as otherwise indicated. iThe
carrying values and estimated fair values of our significant outstanding debt as of July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021 were as follows:
1
The fair values were based on the trading levels and bid/offer prices observed by a market participant and are considered Level 2 financial instruments.
2 Carrying value of our significant outstanding debt is net of unamortized debt issuance costs as of July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021 (see Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
Note 14—iSubsequent
Events
Subsequent to July 3, 2021, we repurchased i1,417,725 common shares for approximately $i23.2
million through open market transactions under the Repurchase Plan. Shares purchased under the Repurchase Plan were subsequently canceled.
On August 4, 2021, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $i0.06 per share on common shares, payable in cash on September 2, 2021 to shareowners of record at the close of business on August 19, 2021.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to further the reader’s understanding of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of our Company. It should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2021 (our “2020 Annual Report”). These historical financial statements may not be indicative of our future performance. This discussion contains a number of forward-looking statements, all of which are based on our current expectations and could be affected by the uncertainties and risks referred to
under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A in our 2020 Annual Report. As used herein, “Primo,”“the Company,”“Primo Water Corporation,”“we,”“us,” or “our” refers to Primo Water Corporation, together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
Overview
Primo is a leading provider of sustainable drinking water solutions direct to customers in North America and Europe. Primo operates largely under a recurring razor/razorblade revenue model. The razor in Primo’s revenue model is its industry leading line-up of sleek and innovative water dispensers, which are sold through retailers and online at various price points. The dispensers help increase household penetration,
which drives recurring purchases of Primo’s razorblade offering. Primo’s razorblade offering is comprised of Water Direct, Water Exchange, and Water Refill. Through its Water Direct business, Primo delivers sustainable hydration solutions across its 22-country footprint direct to the customer’s door, whether at home or to commercial businesses. Through its Water Exchange and Water Refill businesses, Primo offers pre-filled and reusable containers at over 13,000 locations and water refill units at approximately 22,000 locations, respectively. Primo also offers water filtration units.
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 in North America as well
as with Watercoolers Europe, which ensure strict adherence to safety, quality, sanitation and regulatory standards for the benefit of consumer protection. During 2020, our U.S. operations achieved a carbon neutral certification under the CarbonNeutral Protocol, an international standard administered by Natural Capital Partners. This certification is in addition to the certifications in our European operations where we have maintained carbon neutrality for the past nine consecutive years in many of our markets.
The market in which we operate is subject to some seasonal variations. Our water delivery sales are generally higher during the warmer months. Our purchases of raw materials and related accounts payable fluctuate based upon the demand for our products. The seasonality of our sales volume causes our working capital needs to fluctuate throughout the year.
We conduct operations
in countries involving transactions denominated in a variety of currencies. We are subject to currency exchange risks to the extent that our costs are denominated in currencies other than those in which we earn revenues. As our financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars, fluctuations in currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies have had, and will continue to have an impact on our results of operations.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Our global operations expose us to risks associated with the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, which has resulted in challenging operating environments. COVID-19 has spread across the globe to all of the countries in which we operate. Authorities in many of these markets have implemented numerous measures to stall the spread of COVID-19, including travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, curfews, shelter
in place orders, and business shutdowns. These measures have impacted and will continue to impact us, our customers, employees, distributors, suppliers and other third parties with whom we do business. There is considerable uncertainty regarding the extent and duration of any impact that these measures and future measures in response to the pandemic may have on our business, including whether they will result in further changes in demand for our services and products, further increases in operating costs (whether as a result of changes to our supply chain or increases in employee costs or otherwise), and how they will further impact our supply chain, each or all of which can impact our ability to make, manufacture, distribute and sell our products. In addition, measures that impact our ability to access our offices, plants, warehouses, distribution centers or other facilities, or that impact the ability of our customers, employees, distributors, suppliers and other third
parties to do the same, may impact the availability of our and their employees, many of whom are not able to perform their job functions remotely.
For our associates we have implemented safety protocols, including implementing social distancing guidelines, staggering employee shifts, providing our associates with personal protective equipment, and continuing to allow members of our team to work from home where possible. We have been working and will continue to work closely with our business partners on contingency planning in an effort to maintain supply. To date, we have not experienced a material disruption to our operations or supply chain.
22
The extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business and financial results
will depend on numerous evolving factors that we are not able to accurately predict and that all will vary by market, including the duration and scope of the pandemic, the emergence and spread of new disease variants, global economic conditions during and after the pandemic, governmental actions that have been taken, or may be taken in the future, in response to the pandemic, successful distribution and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines and changes in customer behavior in response to the pandemic, some of which may be more than just temporary.
As we deliver bottled water to residential and business customers across a 22-country footprint and provide multi-gallon purified bottled water, self-service refill drinking water and water dispensers to customers through retailers in North America, the profile of the services we provide and the products we sell, and the amount of revenue attributable to such services and products, varies
by jurisdiction. Changes in demand as a result of COVID-19 will vary in scope and timing across these markets. For example, to date, we have seen an increase in volumes in our residential water direct business and a decrease in volumes in our commercial water direct business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Economic uncertainty can adversely affect our customers’ financial condition, resulting in an inability to pay for our services or products, reduced or canceled orders of our services or products, or our business partners’ inability to supply us with the items necessary for us to make, manufacture, distribute or sell our products. Such adverse changes in our customers’ or business partners’ financial condition may also result in our recording impairment charges for our inability to recover or collect any accounts receivable. In addition, economic uncertainty associated with COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in volatility in the global capital and credit markets,
which can impair our ability to access these markets on terms commercially acceptable to us, or at all. The full extent of the COVID outbreak and its impact on the markets served by the Company's operations continues to be highly uncertain as conditions continue to fluctuate around the world, with vaccine administration rising in certain regions and spikes in infections (including the spread of variants) also being experienced.
In response to COVID-19, certain government authorities have enacted programs which provide various economic stimulus measures, including several tax provisions. Among the business tax provisions is the deferral of certain payroll and other tax remittances to future years and wage subsidies as reimbursement for a portion of certain furloughed employees’ salaries. During the three and six months ended July
3, 2021, we received wage subsidies under these programs totaling $0.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively. We review our eligibility for these programs for each qualifying period and account for such wage subsidies on an accrual basis when the conditions for eligibility are met. The Company has adopted an accounting policy to present wage subsidies as a reduction of selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses. In addition, deferred payroll and other taxes totaling $8.1 million and $9.0 million were included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and $7.5 million were included in other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021, respectively.
Divestiture, Acquisition
and Financing Transactions
In February 2020, we completed the sale of our coffee, tea and extract solutions business, S. & D. Coffee, Inc. (“S&D”), to Westrock Coffee Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Westrock”), pursuant to which Westrock acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity of S&D from the Company (“S&D Divestiture”). The consideration was $405.0 million paid at closing in cash, with customary post-closing working capital adjustments, which were resolved in June 2020 by payment of $1.5 million from the Company to Westrock. We used the proceeds of the transaction to finance a portion of the Legacy Primo Acquisition, as described below.
As a
result of the S&D Divestiture, the operating results associated with S&D have been presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are those of our continuing operations unless otherwise indicated. For additional information regarding our discontinued operations, see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2020, we completed the acquisition of Primo Water Corporation (“Legacy Primo” and such transaction, the “Legacy Primo Acquisition”). The aggregate consideration paid in the Legacy Primo Acquisition was approximately $798.2 million and includes $377.6 million of our common shares issued by us to holders of Legacy Primo common stock, $216.1 million paid in cash by us to holders of Legacy Primo common stock, $196.9 million of cash paid to retire outstanding indebtedness on behalf of Legacy
Primo, $4.7 million to settle a pre-existing liability and $2.9 million in fair value of replacement common share options and restricted stock units for vested Legacy Primo awards. The Legacy Primo Acquisition is consistent with our strategy of transitioning to a pure-play water solutions provider.
In connection with the closing of the Legacy Primo Acquisition, we changed our corporate name to Primo Water Corporation and our ticker symbol on the New York Stock Exchange and Toronto Stock Exchange to “PRMW”.
In March 2020, we entered into a credit agreement among the Company, as parent borrower, Primo Water Holdings Inc. and Eden Springs Nederland B.V., each as subsidiary borrowers, certain other subsidiaries
of the Company from time to time designated as subsidiary borrowers, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”).
23
The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility in an initial aggregate committed amount of $350.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which may be increased by incremental credit extensions from time to time in the form of term loans or additional revolving credit commitments. The Revolving Credit Facility has a five year maturity date and includes letter of credit and swing line loan sub facilities. Borrowings under
the Revolving Credit Facility were used to refinance in full and terminate our previously existing asset-based lending credit facility.
On October 22, 2020, we issued €450.0 million ($533.5 million at exchange rates in effect on October 22, 2020) of 3.875% senior notes due October 31, 2028 (“2028 Notes”) to qualified purchasers in a private placement offering under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States to non-U.S. purchasers pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act and other applicable laws. The 2028 Notes were issued by our wholly-owned subsidiary Primo Water Holdings Inc. The 2028 Notes are guaranteed by the
Company and certain subsidiaries that are currently obligors under the Revolving Credit Facility and the $750.0 million of 5.500% senior notes due April 1, 2025. The 2028 Notes will mature on October 31, 2028 and interest is payable semi-annually on April 30th and October 31st of each year commencing on April 30, 2021. The proceeds of the 2028 Notes, along with borrowings from the Revolving Credit Facility, were used to redeem in full €450.0 million of 5.500% senior notes due July 1, 2024 (“2024 Notes") and pay related premiums, fees and expenses.
We incurred approximately $8.0 million of financing fees for the issuance of the
2028 Notes. The financing fees are being amortized using the effective interest method over an eight-year period, which represents the term to maturity of the 2028 Notes. The redemption of the 2024 Notes included $14.6 million in premium payments and accrued interest of $9.0 million.
On April 30, 2021, we issued $750.0 million of 4.375% senior notes due April 30, 2029 (“2029 Notes”) to qualified purchasers in a private placement offering under the Securities Act, and outside the United States to non-U.S. purchasers pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act and other applicable laws. The 2029 Notes were issued by our wholly-owned subsidiary Primo Water Holdings Inc. The 2029 Notes are guaranteed by the Company and certain subsidiaries
that are currently obligors under the Revolving Credit Facility and the €450.0 million of 3.875% senior notes due October 31, 2028. The 2029 Notes will mature on April 30, 2029 and interest is payable semi-annually on April 30th and October 31st of each year commencing on October 31, 2021. The proceeds of the 2029 Notes, along with available cash on hand, were used to redeem in full the $750.0 million of 5.500% senior notes due April 1, 2025 ("2025 Notes") and pay related premiums, fees and expenses.
We incurred approximately $11.2 million of financing fees for the issuance of the 2029 Notes. The financing fees are being amortized using the effective interest method over an eight-year period, which represents the term to
maturity of the 2029 Notes.
The redemption of the 2025 Notes included $20.6 million in premium payments, accrued interest of $3.6 million, and the write-off of $6.6 million in deferred financing fees.
Forward-Looking Statements
In addition to historical information, this report, and any documents incorporated in this report by reference, may contain statements relating to future events and future results. These statements are “forward-looking” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and applicable Canadian securities legislation and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, future expectations and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements of Primo Water Corporation to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements that relate to projections of sales, cash flows, capital expenditures or other financial items, statements regarding our intentions to pay regular quarterly dividends on our common shares, and discussions of estimated future revenue enhancements and cost savings.

Generally, words such as “anticipate,”“believe,”“continue,”“could,”“endeavor,”“estimate,”“expect,”“intend,”“may,”“will,”“plan,”“predict,”“project,”“should” and similar terms and phrases are used to identify forward-looking statements in this report and any documents incorporated in this report by reference. These forward-looking
statements reflect current expectations regarding future events and operating performance and are made only as of the date of this report.
24
The forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and, by their nature, are based on certain estimates and assumptions regarding interest and foreign exchange rates, expected growth, results of operations, performance, business prospects and opportunities and effective income tax rates, which are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties.

Although we believe
the assumptions underlying these forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of these assumptions could prove to be inaccurate and, as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions could prove to be incorrect. Our operations involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control, and any one or any combination of these risks and uncertainties could also affect whether the forward-looking statements ultimately prove to be correct. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our 2020 Annual Report and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and Canadian securities regulatory authorities.
The following are some of the factors that could affect our financial performance, including but not limited to, sales, earnings and cash

We undertake no obligation to update any information contained in this report or to publicly release the results of any revisions to forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances of which we may become aware of after the date of this report. Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements, and all future written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing.
Non-GAAP Measures
In this report, we supplement our reporting of financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) by utilizing certain non-GAAP financial
measures that exclude certain items to make period-over-period comparisons for our underlying operations before material changes. We exclude these items to better understand trends in the business. We exclude the impact of foreign exchange to separate the impact of currency exchange rate changes from our results of operations.
We also utilize earnings (loss) before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), which is GAAP net income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, net, expense (benefit) for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. We consider EBITDA to be an indicator of operating performance. We also use EBITDA, as do analysts, lenders, investors and others, because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. These differences can result in considerable variability in the relative
costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies. We also utilize adjusted EBITDA, which is EBITDA excluding acquisition and integration costs, share-based compensation costs, COVID-19 costs, goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, foreign exchange and other (gains) losses, net, loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment, net, loss on extinguishment of long-term debt, gain on sale of business and other adjustments, net, as the case may be (“Adjusted EBITDA”). We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be an indicator of our operating performance and enhances comparability between periods.
Because we use these adjusted financial results in the management of our business and to understand underlying business performance, we believe this supplemental information is useful to investors for their independent evaluation and understanding of our business performance and the performance
of our management. The non-GAAP financial measures described above are in addition to, and not meant to be considered superior to, or a substitute for, our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this report reflect our judgment of particular items, and may be different from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Summary Financial Results
Net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended July 3, 2021 (the “second quarter”) and six months ended July 3, 2021 (the "first half
of 2021" or "year to date") was $8.3 million or $0.05 per diluted common share, and $18.5 million or $0.11 per diluted common share, respectively, compared with net loss from continuing operations of $131.7 million or $0.82 per diluted common share, and $159.1 million or $1.06 per diluted common share for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, respectively.
The following items of significance affected our financial results for the first six months of 2021:
•Net revenue increased $73.5 million, or 7.9%, from the prior year period due primarily to the addition of revenues from the Legacy Primo business, pricing initiatives and the impact of favorable foreign exchange rates, partially offset by a decline in water and office coffee services consumption due to
the impact of COVID-19;
•Gross profit increased to $561.7 million from $528.0 million in the prior year period due primarily to the addition of the Legacy Primo business, pricing initiatives and the impact of favorable foreign exchange rates, partially offset by a decline in water and office coffee services consumption due to the impact of COVID-19. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue was 55.9% compared to 56.7% in the prior year period;
•SG&A expenses increased to $507.9 million from $501.8 million in the prior year period due primarily to the addition of the Legacy Primo business, increased delivery expenses and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates partially offset by cost reduction initiatives executed as a result of the impact of COVID-19. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net revenue was 50.6% compared
to 53.9% in the prior year period;
•Acquisition and integration expenses decreased to $3.7 million from $25.1 million in the prior year period due primarily to lower acquisition and integration costs incurred in connection with the Legacy Primo Acquisition. Acquisition and integration expenses as a percentage of revenue was 0.4% compared to 2.7% in the prior year period;
•Goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges decreased to nil from $115.2 million in the prior year period due primarily to impairment charges recorded in the prior period as a result of general deterioration in economic and market conditions in which we operate arising from COVID-19 and revised projections of future operating results;
•Other expense, net was $25.2 million compared to $5.4 million
in the prior year period due primarily to costs incurred to redeem our 2025 Notes in the current year period;
•Income tax expense was $1.3 million on pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $17.2 million compared to income tax benefit of $4.7 million on pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $163.8 million in the prior year period due primarily to increased earnings in taxable jurisdictions and impairment charges incurred in the prior year period for which minimal tax benefit was recognized;
•Adjusted EBITDA increased to $175.7 million compared to $152.9 million in the prior year period due to the items listed above; and
•Cash flows provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $88.3 million compared to $70.2 million in the prior year period.
The $18.1 million increase was due primarily to improved earnings, excluding non-cash charges, relative to the prior year period.

revised the allocation of information technology costs from the All Other category to our North America and Rest of World reporting segments to reflect how the Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker, measures the performance of our segments.

and decrease SG&A expenses in the All Other category by $4.4 million. Operating income (loss) for our North American and Rest of World reporting segments, as well as our All Other category, reflect the aforementioned adjustments for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of July 3, 2021, we had total debt of $1,486.9 million and $114.2 million of cash and cash equivalents compared to $1,470.7 million of debt and $115.1 million of cash and cash equivalents as of January 2, 2021.
The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to disrupt our business. The extent and duration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we are not able to accurately predict and that all will vary by market. These factors include the duration and scope of the pandemic, including the
spread of new disease variants, global economic conditions during and after the pandemic, governmental actions that have been taken, or may be taken in the future, in response to the pandemic, and changes in customer behavior in response to the pandemic, some of which may be more than just temporary.
We believe that our level of resources, which includes cash on hand, borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and funds provided by our operations, will be adequate to meet our expenses, capital expenditures, and debt service obligations for the next twelve months. Our ability to generate cash to meet our current expenses and debt service obligations will depend on our future performance. If we do not have enough cash to pay our debt service obligations, or if the Revolving Credit Facility or our outstanding notes were to become currently due, either at maturity or as a result of a breach, we may be required to take actions
such as amending our Credit Agreement or the indentures governing our outstanding notes, refinancing all or part of our existing debt, selling assets, incurring additional indebtedness or raising equity. If we need to seek additional financing, there is no assurance that this additional financing will be available on favorable terms or at all.
35
As of July 3, 2021, our outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility were $139.8 million and outstanding letters of credit totaled $51.5 million resulting in total utilization under the Revolving Credit Facility of $191.3 million. Accordingly, unused availability under the
Revolving Credit Facility as of July 3, 2021 amounted to $158.7 million.
We earn a portion of our consolidated operating income in subsidiaries located outside of Canada. We have not provided for federal, state and foreign deferred income taxes on the undistributed earnings of our non-Canadian subsidiaries. We expect that these earnings will be permanently reinvested by such subsidiaries except in certain instances where repatriation attributable to current earnings results in minimal or no tax consequences.
We expect our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flows
and the issuance of debt to continue to be sufficient to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. In addition, we expect our existing cash and cash equivalents and cash flows outside of Canada to continue to be sufficient to fund the operating activities of our subsidiaries.
A future change to our assertion that foreign earnings will be permanently reinvested could result in additional income taxes and/or withholding taxes payable, where applicable. Therefore, a higher effective tax rate could occur during the period of repatriation.
We may, from time to time, depending on market conditions, including without limitation whether our outstanding notes are then trading at a discount to their face amount, repurchase our outstanding notes for cash and/or in exchange for our common
shares, warrants, preferred shares, debt or other consideration, in each case in open market purchases and/or privately negotiated transactions. The amounts involved in any such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material. However, the covenants in our Revolving Credit Facility subject such purchases to certain limitations and conditions.
A dividend of $0.06 per common share was declared during each quarter of 2021 to date for aggregate dividend payments of approximately $19.5 million.
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the three and six months ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020, as reported in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements:

Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $88.3 million year to date compared to $70.2 million in the comparable prior year period. The $18.1 million increase
was due primarily to improved earnings, excluding non-cash charges, relative to the prior year period.
36
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $65.5 million year to date compared to $501.6 million in the comparable prior year period. The $436.1 million decrease was due primarily to the cash used to acquire our Legacy Primo business in the prior year and a decrease in additions to property, plant and equipment relative to the prior year period.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities from continuing operations was $21.6 million year to date compared to cash provided by
financing activities from continuing operations of $63.2 million in the comparable prior year period. The $84.8 million decrease was due primarily to a decrease in net short-term borrowings and cash provided by other financing activities, as well as an increase in cash used for financing fees year to date as compared to the prior year period, partially offset by a decrease in cash used to repurchase common shares year to date as compared to the prior year period.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined under Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K as of July 3, 2021.
Contractual Obligations
Except as described below, there were no material changes to our outstanding contractual obligations from amounts previously
disclosed in our 2020 Annual Report.
On April 30, 2021, we issued the 2029 Notes. The proceeds of the 2029 Notes, along with available cash on hand, were used to redeem in full the 2025 Notes and pay related premiums, fees and expenses. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the 2029 Notes.
Credit Ratings and Covenant Compliance
Credit Ratings
We have no material changes to the disclosure on this matter made in our 2020 Annual Report.
Under
the indentures governing our outstanding notes, we are subject to a number of covenants, including covenants that limit our and certain of our subsidiaries’ ability, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, to (i) pay dividends or make distributions, repurchase equity securities, prepay subordinated debt or make certain investments, (ii) incur additional debt or issue certain disqualified stock or preferred stock, (iii) create or incur liens on assets securing indebtedness, (iv) merge or consolidate with another company or sell all or substantially all of our assets taken as a whole, (v) enter into transactions with affiliates and (vi) sell assets. The covenants are substantially similar across the series of notes. As of July 3, 2021,
we were in compliance with all of the covenants under each series of notes. There have been no amendments to any such covenants of our outstanding notes since the date of their issuance.
Revolving Credit Facility
Under the Credit Agreement governing the Revolving Credit Facility, we and our restricted subsidiaries are subject to a number of business and financial covenants, including a consolidated secured leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio. The consolidated secured leverage ratio must not be more than 3.50 to 1.00, with an allowable temporary increase to 4.00 to 1.00 for the quarter in which we consummate a material acquisition with a price not less than $125.0 million, for three quarters. The interest coverage ratio must not be less than 3.00 to 1.00. We were in compliance with
these financial covenants as of July 3, 2021.
In addition, the Credit Agreement has certain non-financial covenants, such as covenants regarding indebtedness, investments, and asset dispositions. We were in compliance with all of the applicable covenants as of July 3, 2021.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Common Share Repurchase Program
On May 4, 2021, our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program for up to $50.0 million of our outstanding common shares over a 12-month period commencing on May 10, 2021. During the second quarter of 2021, we repurchased 786,017 common shares
for approximately $13.0 million through open market transactions. Please refer to the table in Part II, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
37
We are unable to predict the number of common shares that ultimately will be repurchased under the share repurchase program, or the aggregate dollar amount of common shares to be purchased in future periods. We may discontinue purchases at any time, subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.
Tax Withholding
In the second quarter of 2021, an aggregate of 16,208 common shares were withheld from delivery to our employees to satisfy their respective tax obligations related to share-based awards. In the second
quarter of 2020, an aggregate of 19,978 common shares were withheld from delivery to our employees to satisfy their respective tax obligations related to share-based awards.
Please refer to the table in Part II, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Capital Structure
Since January 2, 2021, our equity has decreased by $20.9 million. The decrease was primarily due to a net loss of $18.5 million, common shares repurchased and canceled of $16.3 million and common share dividend payments of $19.5 million, partially offset by the issuance of common shares of $18.7 million, share-based compensation costs of $6.2 million and other comprehensive income, net of tax of $8.5 million.
Dividend Payments
Common
Share Dividend
On May 4, 2021, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.06 per share on common shares, payable in cash on June 16, 2021 to shareowners of record at the close of business on June 4, 2021.

We intend to pay a regular quarterly dividend on our common shares subject to, among other things, the best interests of our shareowners, our results of continuing operations, cash balances and future cash requirements,
financial condition, statutory regulations and covenants set forth in the Revolving Credit Facility and indentures governing our outstanding notes, as well as other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant from time to time.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. These estimates are based on historical experience, the advice of external experts or on other assumptions management believes to be reasonable. Where actual amounts differ from estimates, revisions are included in the results for the period in which actual amounts become known. Historically, differences between estimates and actual amounts have not
had a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Critical accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the Consolidated Financial Statements are discussed with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors as they are implemented and on an annual basis.
We have no material changes to our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates disclosure as filed in our 2020 Annual Report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant portion of our employees are now working from home, as states and
municipalities have imposed varying levels of restriction on normal in-person business operations. Established business continuity plans were activated in order to mitigate the impact to our control environment, operating procedures, data and internal controls. The design of our processes and controls allow for remote execution with accessibility to secure data.
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of July 3, 2021. Based upon this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of July 3, 2021, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are functioning effectively to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In addition, our management carried out an evaluation, as required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of changes in our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are subject to various claims and legal proceedings with respect to matters such as governmental regulations, income taxes, and other actions arising out of the normal course of business. Management believes that the resolution of these matters will
not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Pursuant to SEC rules, we will disclose any proceeding in which a government authority is a party and that arises under any federal, state or local provisions enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or primarily for the purpose of protecting the environment only where we believe that such proceeding will result in monetary sanctions on us, exclusive of interest and costs, above $500,000 or is otherwise material to our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
