First Quarter 2022 Summary(1)(2)(4)

  • Adjusted operating income of $88 million, compared to $93 million in the first quarter of 2021; adjusted EBITDA of $125 million, compared to $133 million in the first quarter of 2021
  • Adjusted net income from continuing operations of $64 million, or adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $1.27, versus $68 million or $1.22, respectively in the prior year

“Our team’s continued commitment to the core tenets that drive our business helped us deliver strong results while making progress on all of our initiatives to unlock shareholder value,” said Gerry Smith, chief executive officer of The ODP Corporation. “We again delivered solid operating performance against a macroeconomic backdrop that continues to be challenged by supply chain constraints, higher fuel prices, and inflation, as we utilized the strength of our distribution network and pricing flexibility to help offset some of these market dynamics. We’re encouraged by the improving back-to-the-office trends that are helping us drive stronger operating performance in our contract channel, while our consumer business continues to execute well against its strategy, leveraging its highly focused store and digital presence to deliver solid results in the quarter. Overall, our strong execution across the business, combined with our commitment to our low-cost model approach, enabled us to deliver $88 million in adjusted operating income.

“We’ve also continued to make progress on all of our strategic initiatives, including our commitment to maximize the value of our consumer business, and our efforts to align our assets with the go-to-market strategies in our B2C, B2B, distribution, and digital platform businesses. We’re advancing our new digital platform business, Varis, receiving positive feedback from key build partners as we move closer to a broader launch of the platform later this year. We’re also excited about the progress we are making on our supply chain and purchasing services provider, Veyer, and the future value we expect to create in support of our B2B and B2C businesses and as we offer logistics services to other third parties in the future,” he added.

“As we move closer to concluding the strategic initiatives we previously outlined, we remain committed to maximizing the value of our consumer business and driving growth on our B2B platform. We also continue to expect our results this year to be generally in a range consistent with the prior year on a comparable basis,” Smith concluded.

Consolidated Results

Reported (GAAP) Results

Total reported sales for the first quarter of 2022 were $2.2 billion, flat compared to the first quarter of 2021, despite fewer retail stores in service and greater market-wide challenges related to the sourcing and supply chain environment relative to last year. BSD Division sales were higher compared to the prior year, which was offset by lower sales in our Retail Division primarily due to 114 planned store closures. The Company drove stronger business-to-business (B2B) sales through its contract channel as more businesses began to return to the office, which was partially offset by lower sales through its eCommerce channel compared to a year ago. The Company drove strong sales across most major product categories in its BSD Division and strong omni channel sales in its Retail Division.

The Company reported operating income of $76 million in the first quarter of 2022, up compared to operating income of $69 million in the prior year period. GAAP operating results in the first quarter of 2022 included $12 million of charges consisting primarily of $10 million in merger, restructuring and other operating costs largely associated with activities related to the Company’s planned separation. The remaining $2 million is associated with non-cash asset impairment charges primarily related to the impairment of operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets associated with the Company’s retail store locations. Net income from continuing operations was $55 million, or $1.09 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2022, down from $63 million, or $1.12 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2021.

Adjusted (non-GAAP) Results (1)(2)

Adjusted results for the first quarter of 2022 exclude charges and credits totaling $12 million as described above and the tax impacts associated with the above items.

  • First quarter of 2022 adjusted EBITDA was $125 million compared to $133 million in the prior year period. This included adjusted depreciation and amortization(5) of $34 million and $36 million in the first quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively

  • First quarter 2022 adjusted operating income was $88 million compared to $93 million in the first quarter of 2021
  • First quarter 2022 adjusted net income from continuing operations was $64 million, or $1.27 per diluted share, compared to $68 million, or $1.22 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2021

First Quarter Division Results

Business Solutions Division (BSD)

  • Reported sales were $1.2 billion in the first quarter of 2022, up 9% compared to the same period last year
  • Sales generated through BSD’s enterprise contract channel increased year-over-year as more business and education customers began to return to the workplace and classroom
  • Partially offsetting this increase was lower sales through the Company’s eCommerce channel compared to the same period last year related to lower sales of pandemic related products that were in strong demand last year
  • Stronger sales across the majority of offerings including core supply categories, workspaces, copy and print services, and cleaning and breakroom, were partially offset by lower year-over-year sales in technology products, as well as the ongoing challenges related to supply chain and sourcing impacting certain product categories
  • Adjacency category sales including cleaning and breakroom, furniture, technology, and copy and print, increased to 46% of total BSD sales
  • Operating income was $33 million in the first quarter of 2022, up 94% over the same period last year, or 120 basis points as a percentage of sales, driven by higher volume and lower SG&A expenses helping to offset increased supply chain costs

Retail Division

  • Reported sales were $943 million in the first quarter of 2022, down 9% compared to the prior year period primarily due to 114 fewer retail outlets at the end of the first quarter compared to the prior year, associated with planned store closures. The Company closed 6 retail stores in the quarter and had 1,032 stores at quarter end
  • Lower traffic trends in the quarter were offset by stronger sales-per-shopper, as well as strong omni-channel sales in the quarter supported by our 20-minute pick-up guarantee
  • Increase in demand for copy and print services were offset by lower sales of cleaning and PPE products as well as technology and PC products which were negatively impacted by supply chain and sourcing challenges
  • Operating income was $89 million in the first quarter of 2022, down 11% over the same period last year; as a percentage of sales, operating income was 9% of sales, slightly lower year over year

Progress on Strategic initiatives

The Company continued to make significant progress on all of its strategic initiatives to unlock shareholder value, including progress on its separation activities, potential sale of its Consumer business, and advancing its digital platform business.

Separation Activities and Evaluation of Potential Sale of Consumer Business

Afforded by the flexibility of its holding company structure, the Company continued to execute upon its operational separation of its Consumer and B2B businesses. These activities supported the Company’s previously announced plans to separate its business and align its operating assets to support its B2C, B2B, distribution, and digital platform businesses. The Company made significant progress in all areas of the separation including organizational structure, operating and supply chain mechanics, IT support, and market-based commercial agreements, all supporting the near-term and future state of the business.

During the first quarter, the Company announced that its Board of Directors determined to delay the previously announced public company separation to evaluate a potential sale of the Company’s consumer business and that it had received a non-binding proposal from another third party to acquire the Company’s consumer business, the terms of which are confidential. The Company’s Board of Directors continues to carefully review the proposals with the assistance of its financial and legal advisors to determine the course of action that it believes is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. While the Company has made significant progress in concluding this review, there can be no assurance that a sale of the consumer business will take place nor the terms of any such sale.

Capital Allocation

As previously announced on November 16, 2021, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (“ASR”) to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for an up-front payment of $150 million. The ASR program is ongoing, and the Company expects it to be completed in June 2022. As of March 26, 2022, $342 million remains available for additional repurchases under the current stock repurchase program. When combined with the Company’s previously completed share repurchases, ODP will have committed to return more than $300 million of capital to shareholders over the past 12 months.

“The Board of Directors continues to evaluate its future capital allocation plans and the eventual outcome of that process. The actions to date continue to reflect the confidence the Board of Directors has in our business solutions provider and platform transformation strategy and our capability to deliver shareholder value through disciplined capital allocation,” said Gerry Smith, chief executive officer of The ODP Corporation.

Progress on Varis

Aligned with its strategy to drive growth in high value industry segments, the Company continues to make strong progress on its digital platform business, Varis. Varis is a technology company focused on fulfilling the growing demand for a modern, trusted, digital B2B platform that transforms how businesses buy and sell. Led by Prentis Wilson, a B2B industry veteran with a strong record of success in building large scale, disruptive, technology businesses, Varis has established a world-class team of industry professionals and continues to accelerate its technology development. Accomplishments in the quarter included initiating a private preview launch on the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central platform and incorporating positive feedback from Varis’ build partners and customers. Other achievements include attracting new customers to its platform, both buyers and suppliers, innovating on their behalf, and continuing to make progress on the launch of its technology platform with expanded capabilities that position the Company for future growth.

Commentary and 2022 Expectations

“We continue to make strong progress across our strategic initiatives while driving impressive results in the quarter,” said Smith. “Our team remains committed to unlocking value by concluding our review to maximize the value of our consumer business, launching our digital platform business, and building upon our B2B platform for the benefit of all of our stakeholders. While we expect that the conditions related to both the supply chain and inflationary environment will persist in the quarters ahead, we are in an excellent position as we continue leveraging our assets to meet our customers’ needs. We’ll also continue to use a balanced approach to capital deployment, working with our Board on potential future share repurchases and investing to capture the large market opportunity through our digital platform business, supply chain operations, and B2B presence,” Smith added.

The Company continues to anticipate generating annual revenue, operating and cash flow results in a range consistent with the prior year on a comparable basis, and expects to refine and update its outlook for 2022 as conditions related to the pandemic and supply chain challenges dissipate, and further progress is made on its previously disclosed strategic initiatives.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of March 26, 2022, ODP had total available liquidity of approximately $1.4 billion, consisting of $557 million in cash and cash equivalents and $874 million of available credit under the Third Amended Credit Agreement. Total debt was $199 million.

For the first quarter of 2022, cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $30 million, which included $7 million in restructuring and other costs, compared to cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations of $103 million in the first quarter of the prior year, which included less than $1 million in acquisition and integration-related costs and $5 million in restructuring costs.

Capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2022 were $21 million versus $12 million in the prior year period, reflecting continuing growth investments in the Company’s digital transformation, distribution network, and eCommerce capabilities. The cash charges associated with the Company’s Maximize B2B Restructuring and the planned separation of the consumer business in the quarter were $2 million and $5 million, respectively. Accordingly, Adjusted Free Cash Flow(4) was $16 million in the first quarter of 2022.

As part of the ongoing commitment and support of its strategic initiatives, the Company retired approximately $43 million of FILO Term Loan Facility loans under the Third Amended Credit Agreement during the quarter.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations

(Unaudited)

We report our results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). We also review certain financial measures excluding impacts of transactions that are not related to our core operations (“non-GAAP”). Management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures enhances the ability of its investors to analyze trends in its business and provides a means to compare periods that may be affected by various items that might obscure trends or developments in its business. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures to assist in making business decisions and assessing overall performance. Non-GAAP measures help to evaluate programs and activities that are intended to attract and satisfy customers, separate from expenses and credits directly associated with Merger, restructuring, and certain similar items. Certain non-GAAP measures are also used for short and long-term incentive programs.

Our measurement of these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from similarly titled financial measures used by others and therefore may not be comparable. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to the GAAP measures, but only to clarify some information and assist the reader. We have included reconciliations of this information to the most comparable GAAP measures in the tables included within this material.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure, which we define as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures. We believe that free cash flow is an important indicator that provides additional perspective on our ability to generate cash to fund our strategy and expand our distribution network. Adjusted free cash flow is also a non-GAAP measure, which we define as free cash flow excluding cash charges associated with the Company’s Maximize B2B Restructuring, the Business Acceleration Program, and the planned separation of the consumer business.
