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

  • 2Q22 results consistent with previously issued preliminary results
  • Total reported sales of $2.0 billion, down 2% versus last year; lower sales in our Retail division driven by 71 fewer retail locations in service compared to the prior year as a result of planned store closures, partially offset by higher sales in our BSD division
  • GAAP operating income of $28 million and net income from continuing operations of $20 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, versus $30 million and $20 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, respectively in the prior year
  • Adjusted operating income of $54 million, compared to $43 million in the second quarter of 2021; adjusted EBITDA of $91 million, compared to $84 million in the second quarter of 2021
  • Adjusted net income from continuing operations of $39 million, or adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.79, versus $33 million or $0.58, respectively in the prior year
  • Operating cash flow from continuing operations of $(114 million) and adjusted free cash flow of $(121 million), versus $32 million and $29 million, respectively in the prior year
  • $1.4 billion of total available liquidity including $417 million in cash and cash equivalents

“Our team continues to deliver against a challenging macroeconomic environment, driving solid operational and financial results in the second quarter,” said Gerry Smith, chief executive officer for The ODP Corporation. “The strength of our distribution platform and flexible pricing strategies helped to offset some of the market wide challenges related to supply chain constraints, higher transportation costs, and inflation. Back-to-office trends continued to rise, helping us deliver another quarter of improved operating results in our contract channel. In our retail channel, our customer experience continues to improve, driving our net promoter scores higher, and our continued focus on cost efficiencies resulted in driving strong year-over-year operating performance. Overall, our team continues to focus on execution and remains committed to our low-cost model approach, enabling us to deliver $54 million in adjusted operating income.”

“The progress we’re making in operationally separating into four distinct businesses, including one B2C and three B2B businesses, is positioning us with greater flexibility, more focused routes-to-market, and greater ability to serve customers to pursue growth. As we announced, we’re reinvesting in the business while returning capital, as evidenced by our new share repurchase authorization and tender offer, highlighting our team’s commitment to creating shareholder value. With our four business unit structure, we’re excited about ODP’s strategic position as we deploy capital to pursue profitable growth and generate strong returns for our shareholders,” he added.

Consolidated Results

Reported (GAAP) Results

Total reported sales for the second quarter of 2022 were $2.0 billion, down 2% compared to the second quarter of 2021 primarily due to fewer retail stores in service and greater market-wide challenges related to the sourcing and supply chain environment relative to last year. Retail Division sales were lower primarily due to 71 planned store closures and lower store traffic, which was offset by higher sales in our BSD Division. The Company drove stronger business-to-business (B2B) sales through its contract channel as more businesses continued 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 $28 million in the second quarter of 2022, down compared to operating income of $30 million in the prior year period. GAAP operating results in the second quarter of 2022 included $26 million of charges consisting primarily of $23 million in merger, restructuring and other operating costs largely associated with activities related to the Company’s previously planned separation. The remaining $3 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 $20 million, or $0.39 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2022, up from $20 million, or $0.35 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2021.

Adjusted (non-GAAP) Results (1)(2)

Adjusted results for the second quarter of 2022 exclude charges and credits totaling $26 million as described above and the tax impacts associated with the above items.

  • Second quarter of 2022 adjusted EBITDA was $91 million compared to $84 million in the prior year period. This included adjusted depreciation and amortization(5) of $34 million and $36 million in the second quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively
  • Second quarter 2022 adjusted operating income was $54 million compared to $43 million in the second quarter of 2021
  • Second quarter 2022 adjusted net income from continuing operations was $39 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, compared to $33 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2021

Second Quarter Division Results

Business Solutions Division (BSD)

  • Reported sales were $1.2 billion in the second quarter of 2022, up 6% compared to the same period last year
  • Sales generated through BSD’s enterprise contract channel increased year-over-year as more business customers continued to return to the workplace
  • 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 stronger demand last year
  • Stronger sales across the majority of offerings including core supply categories, cleaning and breakroom products, and copy and print services, were partially offset by lower year-over-year sales in technology, 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 remained at 44% of total BSD sales, flat to the second quarter of 2021
  • Operating income was $45 million in the second quarter of 2022, up 45% over the same period last year, or 100 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 $811 million in the second quarter of 2022, down 11% compared to the prior year period partially due to 71 fewer retail outlets at the end of the second quarter compared to the prior year, associated with planned store closures. The Company closed 12 retail stores in the quarter and had 1,020 stores at quarter end
  • Lower traffic trends in the quarter were partially 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, supplies, as well as technology and PC products which were negatively impacted by supply chain and sourcing challenges
  • Operating income was $46 million in the second quarter of 2022, up 5% over the same period last year; as a percentage of sales, operating income was 5.7% of sales, up 90 basis points year over year. This result was driven by continued cost efficiencies in SG&A and product mix

Better Together

As announced on June 21, 2022, ODP’s Board of Directors unanimously determined it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders not to divest the consumer business, nor to further pursue a public company separation at this time in light of current macroeconomic conditions. In reaching its conclusion, the Board was assisted by its financial and legal advisors, assessed the benefits of maintaining purchasing and supply chain synergies, and took into account the proposed structure, economic terms, certainty, expected timing and potential regulatory requirements.

The Company continues to transform its operations under its holding company structure into its B2C business and three distinct B2B businesses and digital segments focused on further enhancing value for shareholders and pursuing growth:

  • Office Depot, LLC – a leading provider of retail consumer and small business products and services distributed via approximately 1,000 Office Depot and OfficeMax retail locations and an award-winning eCommerce presence (officedepot.com).
  • ODP Business Solutions, LLC – ODP’s leading B2B solutions provider serving small, medium and enterprise level companies (odpbusiness.com). This includes the contract sales channel of ODP’s prior Office Depot Business Solutions Division; Grand & Toy, operating one of the biggest distribution networks serving customers in Canada coast-to-coast via its direct sales force and best in class e-commerce platform (grandandtoy.com); and the Company’s Federation Entities, which comprise more than a dozen regional office supply distribution businesses acquired by ODP as part of its transformation to expand its reach and distribution network into geographic areas that were previously underserved, and which continue to operate under their own brand names.
  • Veyer, LLC – a world-class supply chain, distribution, procurement and global sourcing operation (veyerlogistics.com). Veyer procures and distributes products for both Office Depot, LLC and ODP Business Solutions, LLC, as well as third-party customers.
  • Varis, LLC – ODP’s B2B digital platform technology business focused on transforming digital commerce between buying organizations and suppliers (govaris.com).

“The progress we’re making on the realignment of our operating businesses enables our dedicated teams to focus on meeting their customers’ needs and executing upon channel specific go-to-market strategies. It will also enable us to provide greater visibility to our stakeholders about these operating businesses’ performance in the future,” said Smith. “We’re better together and remain excited about the value creating opportunities, flexibility, and scale benefits created by our business unit structure.”

Capital Allocation

As previously announced on July 18, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors has unanimously approved a new $600 million share repurchase authorization, available through June 30, 2024. As a part of this new authorization, the Company also announced that it is launching a $300 million modified “Dutch auction” cash tender offer to be funded through its cash on hand and its asset-based lending facility. After the completion of the tender offer, the Company may repurchase additional shares at the Company’s discretion, subject to applicable regulatory and other legal requirements. The number of shares to be repurchased and the timing of such transactions will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, regulatory requirements, other corporate considerations, and could be suspended or discontinued at any time as determined by management.

2022 Expectations

Consistent with its preannouncement press release on July 18, 2022, the Company’s full year guidance for 2022 is as follows:

FY 2022 Guidance

Sales

$8.45 - $8.60 billion

Adjusted EBITDA

$430 - $460 million

Adjusted Operating Income

$285 - $315 million

Adjusted Earnings per Share(4)

$4.10 - $4.50

Adjusted Free Cash Flow (6)

$200 - $225 million

“We’re enthusiastic about the numerous opportunities to pursue long-term profitable growth, while enhancing shareholder returns,” said Anthony Scaglione, executive vice president and chief financial officer of The ODP Corporation. “We’re looking forward to hosting our investor day meeting later this year highlighting our business units, their respective strategies, and key long-term outlook and metrics,” he added.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of June 25, 2022, ODP had total available liquidity of approximately $1.4 billion, consisting of $417 million in cash and cash equivalents and $953 million of available credit under the Third Amended Credit Agreement. Total debt was $194 million.

For the second quarter of 2022, cash used in operating activities from continuing operations was $114 million, which included $14 million in restructuring and other costs, compared to cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations of $32 million in the second quarter of the prior year, which included $13 million in restructuring costs. The year-over-year change in operating cash flow was related to changes in working capital, including higher inventory and supply chain costs in advance of an anticipated strong back-to-school season.

Capital expenditures in the second quarter of 2022 were $21 million versus $16 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 previously planned separation of the consumer business in the quarter were $1 million and $13 million, respectively. Accordingly, Adjusted Free Cash Flow(4) was a $121 million outflow in the second quarter of 2022.

THE ODP CORPORATION
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 previously planned separation of the consumer business.
