Third Quarter 2022 Summary(1)(3)

  • Total reported sales of $2.2 billion, flat versus the prior year, as sales grew in our B2B distribution division, ODP Business Solutions, offset by lower sales in our consumer division. Office Depot sales were lower partially driven by 75 fewer retail locations in service compared to the prior year as a result of planned store closures and lower traffic
  • GAAP operating income of $84 million and net income from continuing operations of $67 million, or $1.36 per diluted share, versus $104 million and $73 million, or $1.33 per diluted share, respectively in the prior year
  • Adjusted operating income of $95 million, compared to $122 million in the third quarter of 2021; adjusted EBITDA of $131 million, compared to $162 million in the third quarter of 2021
  • Adjusted net income from continuing operations of $73 million, or adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $1.48, versus $96 million or $1.76, respectively in the prior year
  • Operating cash flow from continuing operations of $163 million and adjusted free cash flow of $160 million, versus $121 million and $123 million, respectively in the prior year
  • $1.4 billion of total available liquidity including $473 million in cash and cash equivalents at quarter end

“Our realigned four business unit structure, provides greater transparency for shareholders, unlocks the potential of our business, and provides greater stability and opportunities for long term growth,” said Gerry Smith, chief executive officer for The ODP Corporation. “Our team continued to deliver against a challenging macroeconomic environment, driving solid performance, as the strength of our distribution platform and flexible pricing strategies helped offset some of the market wide challenges related to supply chain constraints, inflation, as well as a more competitive back-to-school environment. Our B2B distribution business, ODP Business Solutions, drove strong performance as back-to-office trends continued to gain traction, helping to drive strong revenue results and margins that are on a path to exceed pre-pandemic levels in the future. In our consumer channel, Office Depot, we maintained high customer satisfaction levels and drove solid operating margin performance, despite lower traffic and a competitive back-to-school selling season. Overall, our team continued to focus on execution and remained committed to our low-cost model approach, enabling us to deliver $95 million in adjusted operating income and strong cash flow in the quarter.”

“We’re excited with the launch of Veyer, our supply chain and logistics division, and the reporting of Varis, our B2B digital platform business that creates a leading edge marketplace experience for buyers and suppliers. These two divisions provide attractive long-term growth opportunities for shareholders.”

“We remain focused on driving shareholder value and we announced that our Board of Directors has approved a plan to return approximately $1 billion to shareholders through 2025. We’re looking forward to sharing more about our disciplined capital allocation strategy during our upcoming investor day meeting to be held later today. Overall, with our realigned four business unit structure and disciplined capital allocation strategy, we are in a strong position to unleash the full potential of ODP,” he added.

Consolidated Results

Reported (GAAP) Results

Total reported sales for the third quarter of 2022 were $2.2 billion, flat compared with the third quarter of 2021. The Company’s ODP Business Solutions division drove strong top-line revenue growth as more businesses returned to the office and as the division continued to execute upon its growth strategy. This was offset by lower sales at its Office Depot Division, largely due to 75 planned store closures, lower eCommerce sales, and lower store traffic partially offset by higher sales per shopper. The Company drove strong sales across most major product categories in its ODP Business Solutions Division and continued strong omni channel sales in its Office Depot Division. Additionally, Veyer, the Company’s logistics division provided strong support for ODP Business Solutions and Office Depot, as well as other third-party customers, and worked to help mitigate the ongoing supply chain, sourcing and cost challenges that remain persistent across most industries.

The Company reported operating income of $84 million in the third quarter of 2022, down compared to operating income of $104 million in the prior year period. GAAP operating results in the third quarter of 2022 included $11 million of charges consisting primarily of $8 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 $67 million, or $1.36 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2022, down from $73 million, or $1.33 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2021.

Adjusted (non-GAAP) Results (1)

Adjusted results for the third quarter of 2022 exclude charges and credits totaling $11 million as described above and the tax impacts associated with the above items.

  • Third quarter of 2022 adjusted EBITDA was $131 million compared to $162 million in the prior year period. This included adjusted depreciation and amortization(4) of $32 million and $36 million in the third quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively
  • Third quarter 2022 adjusted operating income was $95 million compared to $122 million in the third quarter of 2021
  • Third quarter 2022 adjusted net income from continuing operations was $73 million, or $1.48 per diluted share, compared to $96 million, or $1.76 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2021

Realigned Four Business Unit Reporting Structure

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

  • 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, serving customers in Canada (grandandtoy.com); and the Company’s Federation Entities, which comprise more than a dozen regional office supply distribution businesses acquired by ODP, expanding its distribution network into previously underserved geographic areas and which continue to operate under their own brand names.
  • Office Depot, LLC – a leading provider of retail consumer and small business products and services distributed through a fully integrated omnichannel platform of approximately 1,000 Office Depot and OfficeMax retail locations and an award-winning eCommerce presence (officedepot.com).
  • Veyer, LLC – a 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 tech-enabled B2B indirect procurement marketplace, which provides a better way for buyers and suppliers to transact through the platform’s consumer-like buying experience, advanced spend management tools, network of suppliers, and technology (govaris.com).

“Our four business unit model unlocks value for shareholders and 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 the value of our operating businesses’ performance in the future,” said Smith. “We’re excited about the value that our realigned four business unit structure creates for all of our stakeholders.”

Division Results

ODP Business Solutions Division

  • Reported sales were $1 billion in the third quarter of 2022, up 9% compared to the same period last year, as more business customers continued to return to the workplace
  • Stronger sales across core supply categories, cleaning and breakroom, and technology products
  • Adjacency category sales including cleaning and breakroom, furniture, technology, and copy and print were 45% of total ODP Business Solutions’ sales
  • Operating income was $48 million in the third quarter of 2022, up 41% over the same period last year, or up 100 basis points as a percentage of sales

Office Depot Division

  • Reported sales were $1.1 billion in the third quarter of 2022, down 8% compared to the prior year period partially due to 75 fewer retail outlets compared to the prior year associated with planned store closures, as well as lower demand relative to last year in certain product categories. The Company closed 11 retail stores in the quarter and had 1009 stores at quarter end
  • Store traffic and demand relative to last year was negatively impacted due to the conditions related to the recovery from the pandemic as a greater percentage of customers returned to the office. This was partially offset by strong sales per shopper and increases in sales though its buy online, pick-up in store (BOPIS) offering on a same store basis
  • Operating income was $83 million in the third quarter of 2022, down 23% over the same period last year. As a percentage of sales, operating income was 7%, a 2% decrease as a percentage of sales compared to the same period last year. This result was primarily driven by lower sales and higher supply chain costs and impacts related to inflation

Veyer Division

  • Veyer drove strong support for its internal customers, ODP Business Solutions and Office Depot, as well as provided services for third-party customers
  • Veyer generated sales of $1.5 billion, predominately supporting the purchasing and supply chain operations of ODP Business Solutions and Office Depot
  • Veyer’s Internal sales of product are made at a price that includes a service fee to the cost of product we source from third-party vendors. Internal sales of services represent supply chain and logistics support services, which include warehousing, shipping and handling, and returns
  • Operating income was $9 million in the third quarter of 2022, up from $7 million in the prior year period from growth in freight collection activities and mix, including contribution from third parties

Varis Division

  • Varis is an early stage digital B2B platform technology business that is focused on transforming digital commerce between buying organizations and suppliers
  • Varis generated revenues in the quarter of $2 million and an operating loss of $17 million as the business continues to add new capabilities, customers, and relationships, and prepares the platform for a full launch in the coming months

Share Repurchase Authorization and Full Year Guidance

The Company announced today that its Board of Directors has unanimously approved a new $1 billion share repurchase authorization, available through year end 2025, replacing its prior $600 million authorization. This new authorization is expected to be completed by year-end 2025. 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.

“We remain focused on providing value for shareholders and excited about our plan to return $1 billion in capital to shareholders over the next three years. Our disciplined capital plan, combined with the growth objectives enabled through our realigned four business unit structure, create a compelling value proposition for all of our stakeholders,” said Smith.

“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. “During Q3 we repurchased about 1.9 million shares for approximately $70 million. We are also reconfirming our outlook for the balance of the fiscal year and look forward to hosting our investor day meeting today highlighting our business units, their respective strategies, and key long-term outlook and metrics,” he added.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of September 24, 2022, ODP had total available liquidity of approximately $1.4 billion, consisting of $473 million in cash and cash equivalents and $934 million of available credit under the Third Amended Credit Agreement. Total debt was $191 million.

For the third quarter of 2022, cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $163 million, which included $22 million in restructuring and other spend, compared to cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations of $121 million in the third quarter of the prior year, which included $21 million in restructuring spend. The year-over-year change in operating cash flow largely related to changes in working capital.

Capital expenditures in the third quarter of 2022 were $25 million versus $19 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 and realignment in the quarter were $2 million and $20 million, respectively. Accordingly, Adjusted Free Cash Flow(3) was a $160 million inflow in the third quarter of 2022.

Beginning at 9:00 am Eastern Time on November 2, 2022, The ODP Corporation will webcast a call with the investment community covering its financial results for the third quarter of 2022. Immediately following this webcast, Chief Executive Officer, Gerry Smith, and members of his executive leadership team will host a virtual investor day meeting and live Q&A session that will be accessible to the media and to the general public.

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 and realignment.
