Third Quarter 2021 Summary(1)(2)(4)

  • Total reported sales of $2.2 billion, down 7% versus last year, largely driven by 160 fewer retail locations in service compared to last year and lower demand year-over-year in certain product categories related to the COVID-19 pandemic
  • GAAP operating income of $104 million and net income from continuing operations of $73 million, or $1.33 per diluted share, versus $102 million and $34 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, respectively in the prior year
  • Adjusted operating income of $122 million, compared to $136 million in the third quarter of 2020 and adjusted EBITDA of $162 million, compared to $175 million in the third quarter of 2020
  • Adjusted net income from continuing operations of $96 million, or adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $1.76, versus adjusted net income from continuing operations of $102 million or $1.88, respectively in the prior year
  • Operating cash flow from continuing operations of $121 million and adjusted free cash flow of $123 million, versus $256 million and $259 million, respectively in the prior year
  • $1.7 billion of total available liquidity including $753 million in cash and cash equivalents

“We’re making meaningful progress on all of our initiatives to unlock shareholder value while remaining true to our low-cost model approach and providing value for our customers,” said Gerry Smith, chief executive of The ODP Corporation. “I’m proud of our team for delivering solid operating results against a more demanding industry backdrop due to supply chain challenges and a slower pace of back-to-office trends in the quarter. The investments we’ve made in our private fleet, distribution assets, and diverse third party carrier relationships are helping us mitigate some of the impacts related to the recent industry-wide supply chain disruptions. Additionally, our supplier diversification, combined with our product assortment and flexible pricing strategies, adds to our strength as we continue to navigate these challenges.”

“The pace of back-to-office trends was slower during the quarter due to the well-publicized spread of the Delta variant. However, we’re encouraged by the increase in demand for our core products from companies who have returned to the office, highlighting additional growth opportunities in the quarters ahead. We were also pleased to see more students and teachers returning to the classroom during the back-to-school season, driving year-over-year demand in core school supplies and helping us partially offset lower sales in certain product categories previously in stronger demand last year during the earlier stages of the pandemic.”

“Moving forward, our entire team remains focused on unlocking the power of our asset base and creating greater value for all stakeholders in the future. We’re making progress on our plans for separation, and we are advancing our digital transformation efforts as Varis continues to make progress on its technology platform development and rollout plans, placing us in an excellent position to drive future value in the large and growing digital business commerce market,” he added.

Consolidated Results

Reported (GAAP) Results

Total reported sales for the third quarter of 2021 were $2.2 billion, a decrease of 7% compared to the third quarter of 2020. The year-over-year decrease in revenue was largely driven by 160 fewer retail stores in service, as well as lower traffic in our Retail and eCommerce channels in the quarter compared to last year. Product sales in the third quarter of 2021 were down 8% relative to the prior year period, driven by the lower store count and lower demand for cleaning and PPE categories compared to last year, as well as sourcing challenges for technology products and other categories. Service revenue in the third quarter of 2021 was up 3% relative to the prior year period, largely related to stronger demand for copy and print services in both BSD and Retail Divisions, as well as for managed print and fulfilment services.

The Company reported operating income of $104 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to operating income of $102 million in the prior year period. GAAP operating results in the third quarter of 2021 included $18 million of charges including $5 million of non-cash asset impairment charges, and $13 million in net merger, restructuring and other operating costs. Asset impairment charges of $5 million in the third quarter of 2021 included $4 million related to impairment of operating lease right-of-use assets associated with the Company’s retail store locations, and the remainder was related to impairment of fixed assets. Net merger, restructuring and other operating costs of $13 million were primarily associated with activities related to the Company’s planned separation. Net income from continuing operations was $73 million, or $1.33 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2021, up from $34 million, or $0.63 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2020.

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

Adjusted results for the third quarter of 2021 exclude charges and credits totaling $18 million as described above and the tax impacts associated with the above items.

  • Third quarter of 2021 adjusted EBITDA was $162 million compared to $175 million in the prior year period. This included adjusted depreciation and amortization(5) of $36 million and $37 million in the third quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively
  • Third quarter 2021 adjusted operating income was $122 million compared to $136 million in the third quarter of 2020
  • Third quarter 2021 adjusted net income from continuing operations was $96 million, or $1.76 per diluted share, compared to $102 million, or $1.88 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2020

Third Quarter Division Results

Business Solutions Division (BSD)

  • Reported sales were $1.2 billion in the third quarter of 2021, down 2% compared to the same period last year
  • Sales generated through its enterprise contract channel increased year-over-year as more business and education customers slowly began to recover from the pandemic. This increase was more than offset by lower sales through the Company’s eCommerce channel compared to the same period last year
  • Stronger sales in core categories were offset by lower year-over-year demand for products previously in strong demand during the height of the pandemic, as well as challenges related to supply chain and sourcing impacting certain product categories
  • Adjacency categories, including cleaning and breakroom, furniture, technology, and copy and print, remained at 44% of BSD sales, flat year-over-year
  • Operating income was $41 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $45 million in the prior year period

Retail Division

  • Reported sales were $999 million in the third quarter of 2021, down 13% compared to the prior year period primarily due to 160 fewer retail outlets at the end of the third quarter compared to the prior year, associated with planned closures of underperforming stores. The Company closed 7 retail stores in the quarter and had 1,084 stores at quarter end
  • Back-to-school activity helped to drive an increase in core school supplies year-over-year, which was offset by lower sales in certain product categories that were in very strong demand last year during the pandemic, including personal protective equipment (PPE). Additionally, supply chain and sourcing challenges in certain product categories, including technology and PC’s, negatively impacted sales relative to last year
  • Operating income was $107 million in the third quarter of 2021, down 10% over the same period last year; As a percentage of sales, this performance represented a 30 basis point margin improvement as the Company continued to execute its low cost model approach

Spin-Off Progress and Plan for Separation

The Company continues to make progress on its plans to separate ODP into two, independent, publicly-traded companies, making advancements in all areas of the separation including organizational structure, operating and supply chain mechanics, IT support, and on the anticipated market-based commercial agreements between the companies. During the quarter, the Company announced the selection of the chief executive officers of both companies, which would become effective upon completion of the spin-off, as well as the company names for each of the two companies.

It was announced that Gerry Smith will continue to serve as the CEO of the ODP Corporation following the separation. As a leading supplier of B2B solutions serving small, medium and enterprise level companies, The ODP Corporation will consist of several operating companies, including the contract sales channel of ODP’s current Business Solutions Division, which will be renamed ODP Business Solutions, and ODP’s newly formed B2B digital platform technology business, which will be named Varis. ODP Business Solutions and Varis will be owned by ODP, but operated as separate businesses. ODP will also continue to own the global sourcing operations and other sourcing, supply chain and logistics assets.

As previously announced, Kevin Moffitt, currently EVP, Chief Retail Officer of The ODP Corporation, will be appointed CEO of Office Depot upon completion of the spin-off. After the successful completion of the spin-off, the new company will be named Office Depot, Inc., a leading provider of retail consumer and small business products and services distributed via approximately 1,100 Office Depot and OfficeMax retail locations and an award-winning eCommerce presence, officedepot.com.

The separation is expected to allow The ODP Corporation and Office Depot, Inc., to pursue unique market opportunities and growth strategies, improving value for all stakeholders. While the companies will be separate, independent companies, it is anticipated that they will share commercial agreements to allow them to continue to leverage scale benefits in such areas as product sourcing and supply chain. The expected timing remains the same as previously announced, with estimated completion in the first half of 2022.

Digital Transformation Initiatives

Aligned with its strategy to drive growth in high value industry segments, the Company continued to make progress on its digital transformation initiatives during the quarter. Varis, a newly formed technology company focused on filling the growing demand for a modern, trusted, digital B2B platform that transforms how businesses buy and sell, continued to advance its development. These accomplishments included integrating and bringing the capabilities of its leading P2P software platform, BuyerQuest, to new customers, as well as continuing to make progress on its technology development. The Company is also advancing its collaboration with Microsoft and remains focused on bringing BuyerQuest’s value proposition to Microsoft’s Business Central customers in the future.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of September 25, 2021, ODP had total available liquidity of approximately $1.7 billion, consisting of $753 million in cash and cash equivalents and $953 million of available credit under the Third Amended Credit Agreement. Total debt was $353 million.

For the third quarter of 2021, cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $121 million, which included $3 million in restructuring costs, compared to cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations of $256 million in the third quarter of the prior year, which included $4 million in acquisition and integration-related costs and $16 million in restructuring costs.

Capital expenditures in the third quarter of 2021 were $19 million versus $13 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 $19 million, respectively. Accordingly, Adjusted Free Cash Flow(4) was $123 million in the third quarter of 2021.

As part of the ongoing commitment and support of its strategic initiatives, the Company repurchased $76 million in stock of the Company, retiring 1.7 million shares of its stock during the quarter. Additionally, in October 2021, the Company repurchased approximately 600 thousand shares for a total cost of $24 million.

On June 29, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors provided their alignment with management’s commitment to a plan to sell its CompuCom Division through a single disposal group. Accordingly, that business is presented as discontinued operations beginning in the third quarter of 2021. The Company has reclassified the financial results of the CompuCom Division to Discontinued operations, net of tax in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. The Company also reclassified the related assets and liabilities as assets and liabilities held for sale on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 25, 2021, and December 26, 2020. Cash flows from the Company’s discontinued operations are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all periods.

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.
