Our management's discussion and analysis is intended to help the reader understand our results of operations and financial condition and is provided as an addition to, and should be read in connection with, our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedDecember 31, 2020 . Tabular dollars are presented in millions. Description of the Company and its Business Segments We are a market-leading consumer products company with a presence in 95% of households acrossthe United States . We produce and sell products across three broad categories: cooking products, waste & storage products and tableware. We sell our products under iconic brands such as Reynolds and Hefty and also under store brands that are strategically important to our customers. Overall, across both our branded and store brand offerings, we hold the #1 or #2 U.S. market share position in the majority of product categories in which we participate. We have developed our market-leading position by investing in our product categories and consistently developing innovative products that meet the evolving needs and preferences of the modern consumer. Our mix of branded and store brand products is a key competitive advantage that aligns our goal of growing the overall product categories with our customers' goals and positions us as a trusted strategic partner to our retailers. Our Reynolds and Hefty brands have preeminent positions in their categories and carry strong brand recognition in household aisles.

reusable storage containers and plastic wrap. Our Presto Products segment
also includes our specialty business, which serves other consumer products
companies by providing Fresh-Lock and Slide-Rite resealable closure systems.
Our Separation fromPEI Group OnFebruary 4, 2020 we separated fromPEI Group and completed our IPO as a stand-alone public entity. In conjunction with our separation fromPEI Group , we entered into a transition services agreement with a subsidiary ofPEI Group wherebyPEI Group will continue to provide certain administrative services to us, including information technology services; accounting, treasury, financial reporting and transaction support; human resources; procurement; tax, legal and compliance related services; and other corporate services for up to 24 months beginning onFebruary 4, 2020 . In addition, we entered into a transition services agreement withRank Group Limited whereby, upon our request, Rank Group Limited will provide certain administrative services to us, including financial reporting, consulting and compliance services, insurance procurement and human resources support, legal and corporate secretarial support, and related services for up to 24 months. At the conclusion of these transitional arrangements, we will have to perform these services with internal resources or contract with third party providers. The previous arrangements we had withPEI Group may be materially different from the arrangements that we have entered into as part of our separation fromPEI Group . OnFebruary 4, 2020 , in conjunction with our Corporate Reorganization and IPO, we entered into new external debt facilities ("External Debt Facilities"), consisting of a$2,475 million senior secured term loan facility ("Term Loan Facility") and a$250 million senior secured revolving credit facility ("Revolving Facility"), and repaid portions of the related party borrowings owed toPEI Group that were reflected on our balance sheet prior to that date.PEI Group contributed the remaining balance of related party borrowings owed by us toPEI Group as additional paid-in capital without the issuance of any additional shares prior to the closing of our IPO. In addition, all indebtedness that we had borrowed underPEI Group's Credit Agreement was reallocated and we were released as a borrower and guarantor from such facilities and released as a guarantor ofPEI Group's outstanding senior notes. 15 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Impact of COVID-19 As previously discussed, in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented policies and procedures designed to protect our employees and our customers, including implementing recommendations from theCenters for Disease Control and Prevention . As the pandemic evolves, we remain committed to adapting our policies and procedures to ensure the safety of our employees and compliance with federal, state and local regulations. While we have experienced increased costs as a result of COVID-19, including in the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 , such increased costs were not material to our results of operations. However, these costs may not be representative of what we may incur moving forward. Further, although we have not to date experienced notable supply chain or customer base disruptions related to COVID-19, those and other negative impacts remain potential risks as the ongoing and future effects of the pandemic are difficult to predict. See the "Risk Factors" section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year endedDecember 31, 2020 for a further discussion of risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to see a fundamental shift to more at-home use of our products driven by the consumer response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The duration and magnitude of the increased demand remains unknown, particularly as vaccine rollouts continue, and its ongoing impact on our operations may not be consistent with our experiences to date. At this time, we are unable to predict with any certainty the nature, timing or magnitude of any changes in future sales and/or earnings attributable to the impact of COVID-19 and efforts to reduce its spread. In addition, since the COVID-19 pandemic has been ongoing for over a year, quarterly results in 2021 will have comparisons against results in 2020 that benefited significantly from the shift to more at-home use of our products and related increases in demand, which may not be sustained in 2021.
We do not currently anticipate that the COVID-19 pandemic will materially impact our liquidity over the next 12 months.
Overview In the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 , net revenues increased 4% compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2020 , primarily driven by higher pricing through a combination of fewer trade promotions and price increases in response to increased commodity costs. In addition, the severe winter storms affecting certain parts ofthe United States inFebruary 2021 negatively impacted volume in the first quarter of 2021, particularly in our Hefty Waste & Storage and Presto Products segments. We estimate that February's storms negatively impacted net revenues by approximately two percentage points and expect there will be some level of continuing impacts from February's storms over the short term. We have experienced significant cost pressures in the first quarter of 2021 and cost increases are expected to continue. Price increases have been implemented and a second round is underway, with plans for a third round to be implemented in the third quarter of 2021. On an annualized basis, aggregated pricing actions are expected to cover the increases in input costs, but we expect to see some near term margin pressure as the pricing actions get implemented before expanding sequentially in the third and fourth quarters of 2021. Non-GAAP Measures In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q we use the non-GAAP financial measures "Adjusted EBITDA", "Adjusted Net Income" and "Adjusted EPS", which are measures adjusted for the impact of specified items and are not in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus the sum of income tax expense, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization and further adjusted to exclude, as applicable, unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives and IPO and separation-related costs. We define Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS as Net Income and Earnings Per Share calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus, as applicable, the sum of unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives, IPO and separation-related costs and the impact of a tax legislation change under the CARES Act enacted onMarch 27, 2020 . We present Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions. In addition, our chief operating decision maker uses Adjusted EBITDA of each reportable segment to evaluate the operating performance of such segments. We use Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS as supplemental measures to evaluate our business' performance in a way that also considers our ability to generate profit without the impact of certain items. Accordingly, we believe presenting these measures provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management team and board of directors. Non-GAAP information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as or comparable to similar non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies. 16 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total net revenues increased by$27 million , or 4%, to$757 million . The increase was primarily driven by higher pricing as a result of fewer trade promotions in the current year period and pricing increases in response to increased commodity costs. Higher volume in our Reynolds Cooking & Baking segment as a result of increased at-home usage was more than offset by lower volume in our Hefty Tableware segment as well as the impact of severe winter storms affecting certain parts ofthe United States during the 2021 period primarily impacting our Hefty Waste & Storage and Presto Products segments.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased by
Other Expense, Net. Other expense, net decreased by$12 million , or 80%, to$3 million . The decrease was primarily attributable to separation-related costs associated with our IPO incurred in the prior year period. Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net decreased by$15 million , or 56%, to$12 million . The decrease was primarily due to lower interest expense as a result of principal payments under our Term Loan Facility and the change in our debt structure as a result of our IPO in the first quarter of 2020. Prior to the IPO we had related party debt and associated interest expense that was replaced with our External Debt Facilities in conjunction with the IPO. Income Tax Expense. We recognized income tax expense of$25 million on income before income taxes of$99 million (an effective tax rate of 25.0%) for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 compared to income tax expense of$39 million on income before income taxes of$65 million (an effective tax rate of 60.0%) for the three months endedMarch 31, 2020 . The decrease in the effective tax rate was due to the recognition of a$23 million discrete tax expense associated with the remeasurement of our deferred taxes as a result of the legislation change from the CARES Act in the prior year period. Excluding the impact of this, our effective tax rate was 24.7% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2020 .

Historical Cash Flows
The following table discloses our cash flows for the periods presented:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash provided by (used in) operating activities
Net cash from operating activities changed by$264 million , from an outflow of$255 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2020 to an inflow of$9 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 . The change was primarily driven by a$312 million increase in accounts receivable,$240 million of which was related to accounts receivables previously sold throughPEI Group's securitization facility prior to our separation fromPEI Group , and an increase in net income, partially offset by higher inventory during the current period due to inventory replenishment, the impact of higher commodity prices and a decrease in accrued and other current liabilities.
Cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities was flat at
Cash (used in) provided by financing activities
Net cash from financing activities changed by$530 million , from an inflow of$376 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2020 to an outflow of$154 million in the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 . The change was primarily attributable to the principal repayments of the Term Loan Facility and dividends paid during the 2021 period compared to the IPO related activities during the prior period, which included proceeds received from the IPO and the drawdown of the Term Loan Facility, partially offset by repayments of related party balances. Liquidity and Capital Resources Our principal sources of liquidity are existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operating activities and available borrowings under the Revolving Facility. External Debt Facilities OnFebruary 4, 2020 , in conjunction with our Corporate Reorganization and IPO, we entered into the External Debt Facilities which consist of a$2,475 million Term Loan Facility and a Revolving Facility that provides for additional borrowing capacity of up to$250 million , reduced by amounts used for letters of credit. As ofMarch 31, 2021 , the outstanding balance under the Term Loan Facility was$2,150 million . As ofMarch 31, 2021 , we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility, and we had$7 million of letters of credit outstanding, which reduces the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility. The initial borrower under the External Debt Facilities isReynolds Consumer Products LLC (the "Borrower"). The Revolving Facility includes a sub-facility for letters of credit. In addition, the External Debt Facilities provide that the Borrower has the right at any time, subject to customary conditions, to request incremental term loans or incremental revolving credit commitments in amounts and on terms set forth therein. The lenders under the External Debt Facilities are not under any obligation to provide any such incremental loans or commitments, and any such addition of or increase in loans is subject to certain customary conditions precedent and other provisions.
Interest rate and fees
Borrowings under the External Debt Facilities bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either a base rate or a LIBO rate plus an applicable margin of 1.75%. During the year endedDecember 31, 2020 , we entered into a series of interest rate swaps which fixed the LIBO rate to an annual rate of 0.18% to 0.47% (for an annual effective interest rate of 1.93% to 2.22%, including margin) for an aggregate notional amount of$1,650 million . These interest rate swaps hedge a portion of the interest rate exposure resulting from our Term Loan Facility for periods ranging from one to five years.
Prepayments
The Term Loan Facility contains customary mandatory prepayments, including with respect to excess cash flow, asset sale proceeds and proceeds from certain incurrences of indebtedness.
The Borrower may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the Term Loan Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs with respect to LIBO rate loans. During the quarter endedMarch 31, 2021 , we made a voluntary principal payment of$100 million related to the Term Loan Facility. Amortization and maturity The Term Loan Facility matures inFebruary 2027 . The Term Loan Facility amortizes in equal quarterly installments of$6 million , which commenced inJune 2020 , with the balance payable on maturity. The Revolving Facility matures inFebruary 2025 . 21
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guarantee and security
All obligations under the External Debt Facilities and certain hedge agreements and cash management arrangements provided by any lender party to the External Debt Facilities or any of its affiliates and certain other persons are unconditionally guaranteed by theReynolds Consumer Products Inc. ("RCPI"), the Borrower (with respect to hedge agreements and cash management arrangements not entered into by the Borrower) and certain of RCPI's existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect material wholly-ownedU.S. restricted subsidiaries, with customary exceptions including, among other things, where providing such guarantees is not permitted by law, regulation or contract or would result in material adverse tax consequences. All obligations under the External Debt Facilities and certain hedge agreements and cash management arrangements provided by any lender party to the External Debt Facilities or any of its affiliates and certain other persons, and the guarantees of such obligations, are secured, subject to permitted liens and other exceptions, by: (i) a perfected first-priority pledge of all the equity interests of each wholly-owned material restricted subsidiary of RCPI, the Borrower or a subsidiary guarantor, including the equity interests of the Borrower (limited to 65% of voting stock in the case of first-tier non-U.S. subsidiaries of RCPI, the Borrower or any subsidiary guarantor) and (ii) perfected first-priority security interests in substantially all tangible and intangible personal property of RCPI, the Borrower and the subsidiary guarantors (subject to certain other exclusions).
Certain covenants and events of default
The External Debt Facilities contain a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, our ability and the ability of the restricted subsidiaries of RCPI to: • incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness; • create or incur liens; • engage in mergers or consolidations; • sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets; • pay dividends and distributions or repurchase capital stock; • prepay, redeem or repurchase certain indebtedness; • make investments, loans and advances; • enter into certain transactions with affiliates; • enter into agreements which limit the ability of our restricted
subsidiaries to incur restrictions on their ability to make distributions;
and
• enter into amendments to certain indebtedness in a manner materially
adverse to the lenders.
The External Debt Facilities contain a springing financial covenant requiring compliance with a ratio of first lien net indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA, applicable solely to the Revolving Facility. The financial covenant is tested on the last day of any fiscal quarter only if the aggregate principal amount of borrowings under the Revolving Facility and drawn but unreimbursed letters of credit exceed 35% of the total amount of commitments under the Revolving Facility on such day. If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the External Debt Facilities are entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the External Debt Facilities and all actions permitted to be taken by secured creditors.
We are currently in compliance with the covenants contained in our External Debt Facilities.
During the quarter endedMarch 31, 2021 , our Board of Directors declared and paid a quarterly cash dividend of$0.23 per share. OnApril 29, 2021 , our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of$0.23 per share, to be paid onMay 27, 2021 . We expect to continue paying cash dividends on a quarterly basis; however, future dividends are at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, contractual limitations (including under the Term Loan Facility) and other factors.
We believe that our projected cash position, cash flows from operations and borrowings under the External Debt Facilities are sufficient to meet the needs of our business for at least the next 12 months.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Accounting policies and estimates are considered critical when they require management to make subjective and complex judgments, estimates and assumptions about matters that have a material impact on the presentation of our financial statements and accompanying notes. For a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year endedDecember 31, 2020 . 22
