Reynolds Revenue by Segment

Forward Guidance

The Company continues to expect high single-digit revenue growth for fiscal 2021, underpinned by pricing, at-home consumption, improvements in our Tableware segment as a result of increases in social gatherings, innovation, and retail replenishment.

Positive Outlook

  • Two rounds of price increases have been successfully implemented across the Company, and a third round has been announced, to be effective during the third quarter.
  • The Company is expecting high single-digit revenue growth in its third quarter, reflecting recently implemented price increases and volume anticipated to be similar to Q3 2020 levels.
  • Premium innovations are driving improved mix
  • Expanded Reyvolution cost savings to further offset cost pressures
  • Expects a substantial sequential improvement in profitability in the fourth quarter on the basis of announced pricing and an anticipated easing of commodity rates.

Challenges Ahead

  • The Company is facing estimated 2021 cost pressures in excess of $400 million, driven primarily by increases in resin and aluminum.
  • The Company expects short-term earnings pressure in the third quarter, primarily driven by increases in resin and aluminum costs in excess of price increases going into effect during the third quarter.
  • Lowering expected 2021 earnings to reflect the timing of pricing by comparison to cost increases.
  • Volume decline was primarily due to lapping of last year’s elevated consumption for Reynolds Cooking & Baking
  • Volume decline was primarily due to the lapping of pantry loading at the onset of COVID-19 for Presto Products
