Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Reynolds Consumer Products Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Reynolds Consumer Products Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of income, of comprehensive income, of stockholders’ equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for leases in 2019.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicat ing the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Revenue Recognition – Sales Incentives
As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recorded net revenues of $3,147 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Consideration in contracts with customers is variable due to anticipated reductions such as discounts, allowances and trade promotions. Accordingly, revenues are recorded net of estimated sales incentives, based on known or expected adjustments. The transaction price is estimated based on the amount of consideration to which management believes they will be entitled.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to revenue recognition – sales incentives is a critical audit matter are a high degree of auditor effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence related to contractual terms in customer arrangements to determine the amount of consideration.
43
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effecti veness of certain controls relating to sales incentives. These procedures also included, among others, evaluating contractual terms in customer arrangements that impact management’s determination of the sales incentive related to the product and related re cognition of revenue on a sample basis.

Reynolds Consumer Products Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business:
Reynolds Consumer Products Inc. and its subsidiaries (“we”, “us” or “our”) produce and sell products across three broad categories: cooking products, waste & storage products and tableware. We sell our products under brands such as Reynolds and Hefty, and also under store brands. Our product portfolio includes aluminum foil, wraps, disposable bakeware, trash bags, food storage bags and disposable tableware. We report four business segments: Reynolds Cooking & Baking; Hefty Waste & Storage; Hefty Tableware; and Presto Products.
Basis of Presentation:
We have prepared the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
Prior to the completion of our Corporate Reorganization, as defined in our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-234731), and initial public offering (“IPO”) on February 4, 2020, we operated as part of Pactiv Evergreen Inc. (“PEI”) (previously known as Reynolds Group Holdings Limited) and not as a stand-alone entity. We represented the business that was previously reported as the Reynolds Consumer Products segment in the consolidated financial statements of PEI and its subsidiaries (collectively, “PEI Group” or the “Parent”). As part of our Corporate Reorganization, we reorganized the legal structure of our entities so they are all under a single parent entity, Reynolds Consumer Products Inc. In conjunction with our Corporate Reorganization and IPO, we separated from PEI Group on February 4, 2020.
All financial information presented after our Corporate Reorganization and IPO represents the consolidated financial statements of our company. Our consolidated statements of income include allocations of certain expenses for services provided by PEI Group prior to our separation, including, but not limited to, general corporate expenses related to group wide functions including executive management, finance, legal, tax, information technology and a portion of a related party management fee incurred by PEI Group. Total costs allocated to us for these functions were $2 million , $41 million and $40 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and were primarily included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of income. These amounts include costs of $1 million , $22 million and $21 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, that were not historically allocated to us as part of PEI Group's normal monthly reporting process. Additionally, in the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, costs of $2 million and $28 million were allocated to us related to the IPO process that cannot be deferred and offset against the IPO proceeds, as well as costs related to our preparations to operate as a stand-alone public company, which were included in other expense, net in our consolidated statements of income. All of these expenses have been allocated on a basis considered reasonable by management, using either specific identification, such as direct usage or headcount when identifiable, or proportional allocations determined with reference to time incurred, relative to revenues, or other reasonable methods of allocation. Amounts allocated on a proportional basis relate to certain corporate functions and are reflective of the time and effort expended in the provision of these corporate functions to us.
The allocations referred to above may not, however, reflect all actual expenses we would have incurred and may not reflect the consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows had we operated as a stand-alone company during the years presented. The amount of actual costs that may have been incurred if we were a stand-alone company would depend on a number of factors, including our chosen organizational structure, which functions were performed by our employees or outsourced and strategic decisions made in areas such as information technology and infrastructure.
Net Parent deficit represents the Parent’s interest in our net assets. As a direct ownership relationship did not exist between the various entities of our previously combined group, a Net Parent deficit account is shown in our previously combined financial statements. The majority of transactions between us and PEI Group have a history of settlement or were settled for cash in conjunction with our separation from PEI Group and IPO. These transactions have been reflected in our consolidated balance sheets as related party receivables and payables. Transactions that did not have a history of settlement are reflected in equity (deficit) in our previously combined balance sheets as Net Parent deficit and, when cash is utilized (contributed), in our consolidated statements of cash flows as a financing activity in net transfers from (to) Parent. Refer to Note 17 - Related Party Transactions for further information.

Reynolds Consumer Products Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Initial Public Offering:
On February 4, 2020, we completed our separation from PEI Group and the IPO of our common stock pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1. In the IPO, we sold an aggregate of 54,245,500 shares of common stock, including 7,075,500 shares of common stock purchased by the underwriters on February 7, 2020 pursuant to their option to purchase additional shares, under the Registration Statement at a public offering price of $26.00 per share.
In conjunction with our separation from PEI Group and IPO, we reclassified PEI Group’s historical net investment in us to additional paid-in capital. Each share of our outstanding common stock, immediately prior to our IPO, was exchanged into 155,455 shares of common stock. In addition, certain related party borrowings owed to PEI Group were contributed as additional paid-in capital without the issuance of any additional shares.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates:
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect a number of amounts in our consolidated financial statements. Significant accounting policy elections, estimates and assumptions include, among others, benefit plan assumptions, valuation assumptions of goodwill and intangible assets, useful lives of long-lived assets, sales incentives and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable. If actual amounts differ from estimates, we include the revisions in our consolidated results of operations in the period the actual amounts become known. Historically, the aggregate differences, if any, between our estimates and actual amounts in any year have not had a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Currency Translation:
Our consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, which is our reporting currency. We translate the results of operations of our subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar using average exchange rates during each period and translate balance sheet accounts using exchange rates at the end of each period. We record currency translation adjustments as a component of stockholders’ equity within accumulated other comprehensive income and transaction gains and losses in other expense, net in our consolidated statements of income.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits with banks and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. We maintain our bank accounts with a relatively small number of high quality financial institutions. Cash balances held by non-U.S. entities as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $9 million and $7 million, respectively.
Accounts Receivable:
Accounts receivable are recorded at face amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is an estimate based on historical collection experience, current economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of each customer’s trade accounts receivable balance. We evaluate the aging of the accounts receivable balances and the financial condition of our customers to estimate the amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected in the future and record the appropriate provision. The allowance for doubtful accounts was not material as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Variable Interest Entities:
Variable interest entities (“VIEs”) are primarily entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support from other parties or whose equity holders, as a group, lack one or more of the following characteristics: (a) direct or indirect ability to make decisions, (b) obligation to absorb expected losses or (c) right to receive expected residual returns. Prior to our separation from PEI Group and IPO, we had a variable interest in one VIE related to our factoring arrangement with PEI Group, described below.
51
Reynolds Consumer Products Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Transfers of Financial A ssets:
Prior to our separation from PEI Group and IPO, we accounted for transfers of financial assets, such as non-recourse accounts receivable factoring arrangements, when we have surrendered control over the related assets. Determining whether control has transferred requires an evaluation of relevant legal considerations, an assessment of the nature and extent of our continuing involvement with the assets transferred and any other relevant considerations. We had a non-recourse factoring arrangement in which we sold eligible receivables to a special purpose entity (“SPE”) consolidated by PEI Group in exchange for cash. We transferred sold accounts receivables in their entirety to PEI Group and satisfied all of the conditions to report the transfer of financial assets in their entirety as a sale. The SPE is considered to be a VIE, however we were not its primary beneficiary because we did not have the power to direct any of its most significant activities through our arrangement as a collecting agent. The principal amount of receivables sold under this arrangement was $3,252 million during the year ended December 31, 2019 and represented substantially all of our U.S. accounts receivable. The balance of receivables sold, and still outstanding, was $264 million as of December 31, 2019. On January 30, 2020, we repurchased all of the U.S. accounts receivable sold for $264 million, $240 million of which was settled in cash and the remaining amount used to settle certain current related party receivables. The proceeds from the sales of receivables are included in cash from operating activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows.
Inventories:
We value our inventories using the first-in, first-out method. Inventory is valued at actual cost, which includes raw materials, supplies, direct labor and manufacturing overhead associated with production. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which includes any costs to sell or dispose. In addition, appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive inventory levels, product deterioration and other factors in evaluating net realizable value.
Long-Lived Assets:
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation, which is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Machinery and equipment are depreciated over periods ranging from 5 to 20 years and buildings and building improvements over periods ranging from 15 to 40 years. Finite-lived intangible assets, which primarily consist of customer relationships, are stated at historical cost and amortized using the straight-line method (which reflects the pattern of how the assets’ economic benefits are consumed) over the assets' estimated useful lives which range from 18 to 20 years.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. When property, plant or equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation is removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss realized on disposition is reflected in other expense, net in our consolidated statements of income.
We review long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, for recoverability on an ongoing basis. Changes in depreciation or amortization are recorded prospectively when estimates of the remaining useful lives or residual values of long-lived assets change. We also review our long-lived assets for impairment when conditions exist that indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. In those circumstances, we perform undiscounted cash flow analysis to determine if an impairment exists. When testing for asset impairment, we group assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which cash flows are separately identifiable. If an impairment loss is recorded, it is calculated as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value as determined by an estimate of discounted future cash flows. Depending on the nature of the asset, impairment losses are recorded in either cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of income. There were no impairments of long-lived assets in any of the years presented.
Leases:
We determine whether a contract is or contains a lease at contract inception. On January 1, 2019, we began to record operating leases on our consolidated balance sheet. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets are recognized at the commencement date at the value of the lease liability, adjusted for any prepayments, lease incentives received and initial direct costs incurred. Lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. Following initial recognition, operating lease liability balances are amortized using the effective interest method, while the related ROU assets are adjusted by the difference between the fixed lease expense recognized and the interest expense associated with the effective interest method in the period.

Reynolds Consumer Products Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Some of our leases contain non-lease components, for example common area or other maintenance costs , that relate to the lease components of the agreement. Non-lease components and the lease components to which they relate are accounted for as a single lease component as we have elected to combine lease and non-lease components for all classes of underly ing assets. We recognize interest on operating lease liabilities and amortization of ROU assets as a single lease expense for operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term, substantially all in cost of sales in our co nsolidated statements o f income. All operating lease cash payments are recorded within cash flows from oper ating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Our lease agreements do not include significant restrictions, covenants or residual value guarantees.
Prior to January 1, 2019, we classified leases at inception date as either a capital lease or an operating lease. A lease was a capital lease if any of the following conditions exist: (a) ownership was transferred to the lessee by the end of the lease term, (b) there was a bargain purchase option, (c) the lease term was at least 75% of the property’s estimated remaining economic life, or (d) the present value of the minimum lease payments at the beginning of the lease term was 90% or more of the fair value of the leased property to the lessor at the inception date. We had no capital leases during any of the years presented. We accounted for all other leases as operating leases wherein rental payments are expensed on a straight-line basis over their respective lease term.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets:
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. We assess goodwill impairment risk by performing a qualitative review of entity-specific, industry, market and general economic factors affecting our goodwill reporting units. Depending on factors such as prior-year test results, current year developments, current risk evaluations and other practical considerations, we may elect to perform quantitative testing instead. In our quantitative testing, we compare a reporting unit’s estimated fair value with its carrying value. Estimating the fair value of individual reporting units requires us to make assumptions and estimates regarding our future plans and industry and economic conditions. The key assumptions associated with determining the estimated fair value are forecasted Adjusted EBITDA and a relevant earnings multiple. Our actual results and conditions may differ over time. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s net assets exceeds its fair value, we would recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value.
Our indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of certain trade names. We test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Depending on factors such as prior-year test results, current year developments, current risk evaluations and other practical considerations, we may elect to perform quantitative testing instead. If potential impairment risk exists for a specific asset, we quantitatively test it for impairment by comparing its estimated fair value with its carrying value. We determine estimated fair value using the relief-from-royalty method, using key assumptions including planned revenue growth rates, market-based discount rates and estimates of royalty rates. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value, we consider the asset impaired and reduce its carrying value to the estimated fair value.
Revenue Recognition:
After assessing our customers' creditworthiness, we recognize revenue when control over products transfers to our customers, which generally occurs upon delivery or shipment of the products. We account for product shipping, handling and insurance as fulfillment activities, with revenues for these activities recorded in net revenues and costs recorded in cost of sales. Any taxes collected on behalf of government authorities are excluded from net revenues.
Consideration in our contracts with customers is variable due to anticipated reductions such as discounts, allowances and trade promotions, collectively referred to as “sales incentives”. Accordingly, revenues are recorded net of estimated sales incentives, based on known or expected adjustments. The transaction price reflects our estimate of the amount of consideration to which we will be entitled, using an expected value method. We base these estimates principally on historical utilization and redemption rates, anticipated performance and our best judgment at the time to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue recognized will not occur. Estimates of sales incentives are monitored and adjusted each period until the sales incentives are realized.

Reynolds Consumer Products Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
We consider purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master supply agreements, to be the contracts with a customer. Key sales terms, such as pricing and quantities ordered, are established frequently, so most customer arrangements and related sales incentives have a duration of one year or shorter. We generally do not have any unbilled receivables at the end of a period. Deferred revenues are not material and primarily include cu stomer advance payments typically collected a few days before product delivery, at which time deferred revenues are reclassified and recorded as net revenues. We generally do not receive non-cash consideration for the sale of goods nor do we grant payment financing terms greater than one year. We do not incur any significant costs to obtain a contract.
Marketing, Advertising and Research and Development:
We promote our products with marketing and advertising programs. These programs include, but are not limited to, cooperative advertising, in-store displays and consumer marketing promotions. The costs of end-consumer marketing programs that are conducted in conjunction with our customers, such as coupons, are recorded as a reduction to revenue. We do not defer these costs on our consolidated balance sheets and all marketing and advertising costs are recorded as an expense in the year incurred. Advertising expense was $72 million , $57 million and $55 million in the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We expense product research and development costs as incurred. Research and development expense was $41 million , $33 million and $29 million in the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We record marketing and advertising as well as research and development expenses in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Stock-based Compensation:
Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the period in which the awards vest in accordance with applicable guidance under ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. In contemplation of us issuing shares to the public, we granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) in July 2019 to certain members of management, pursuant to retention agreements entered into with these employees. These RSUs vest upon satisfaction of both a performance-based vesting condition (the “IPO Condition”) and a service-based vesting condition (the “Service Condition”). The IPO Condition was satisfied when we completed our IPO on February 4, 2020. The Service Condition will be satisfied with respect to one-third of an employee’s RSUs on each anniversary from the date of our IPO for three consecutive years, subject to the employee’s continued employment through the applicable vesting date. We have also granted RSUs to certain members of management that have a service-based vesting condition. In addition, we granted performance stock units (“PSUs”) to certain members of management that have a performance-based vesting condition. We account for forfeitures of outstanding but unvested grants in the period they occur.
Financial Instruments:
We are exposed to certain risks relating to our ongoing business operations. To manage the volatility relating to these exposures, we enter into various derivative instruments from time to time under our risk management policies. We are not a party to leveraged derivatives and, by policy, do not use financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Interest Rate Derivatives:
We manage interest rate risk by using interest rate derivative instruments. Interest rate swaps (pay fixed, receive variable) are entered into as cash flow hedges to manage a portion of the interest rate risk associated with our floating-rate borrowings.
We record interest rate derivative instruments at fair value (Level 2) and on a net basis by counterparty based on our master netting arrangements. The instruments are classified in our consolidated balance sheets in other assets or other liabilities, as applicable. Cash flows from interest rate derivative instruments are classified as operating activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows based on the nature of the derivative instrument. We have elected to use hedge accounting for our interest rate derivative instruments. Accordingly, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the open hedging instrument is recorded in other comprehensive income and is reclassified into earnings as interest expense, net when settled. We terminate derivative instruments if the underlying asset or liability matures or is repaid, or if we determine the underlying forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring.
Commodity Derivatives:
We are exposed to price risk related to forecasted purchases of certain commodities that we primarily use as raw materials. From time to time we may enter into derivative financial instruments to mitigate certain risks.
We record commodity derivative financial instruments at fair value (Level 2) and on a gross basis in our consolidated balance sheets in other current assets or accrued and other current liabilities due to their relatively short-term duration. Cash flows from commodity derivative instruments are classified as operating activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows based on the nature of the derivative instrument. Historically, we have not elected to use hedge accounting. Accordingly, any unrealized gains or losses (mark-to-market impacts) and realized gains or losses are recorded in cost of sales in our consolidated statements of income.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Income Taxes:
For the periods prior to our separation from PEI Group and IPO, our U.S. operations were included in consolidated U.S. federal, certain state and local tax returns filed by PEI Group. We also file certain separate U.S. state and local and foreign income tax returns. The income tax expense (benefit) included in our consolidated statements of income has been calculated using the separate return basis. It is possible that we will make different tax accounting elections and assertions subsequent to our shares being issued to the public. Therefore, our income taxes, as presented in our consolidated financial statements, may not be indicative of our income taxes in the future. In jurisdictions where we have been included in tax returns filed by PEI Group, any income taxes payable resulting from the related income tax expense had been reflected in the consolidated balance sheets in Net Parent deficit.
For the periods following our separation from PEI Group and IPO, our income tax expense includes amounts payable or refundable for the current year, the effects of deferred taxes and impacts from uncertain tax positions. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of our assets and liabilities, operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years in which those differences are expected to reverse.
The realization of certain deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in the appropriate jurisdiction prior to the expiration of the carryforward periods. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. When assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider any carryback potential, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences (including liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits), future taxable income and tax planning strategies.
We recognize the tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position. The amount we recognize is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon resolution. Future changes related to the expected resolution of uncertain tax positions could affect tax expense in the period when the change occurs.
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures:
GAAP establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:
•
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•
Level 2 inputs include inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of assets or liabilities.
•
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
Our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are presented in Note 8 - Financial Instruments. We have no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis in any of the years presented.
In addition to fair value disclosure requirements related to financial instruments carried at fair value, accounting standards require disclosures regarding the fair value of all of our financial instruments. The carrying values of cash equivalents, accounts receivables, other receivables, related party receivables, accounts payable, related party payables and accrued and other current liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance:
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition . This ASU is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606, using the modified retrospective method for all contracts not completed as of the date of adoption, resulting in a $5 million adjustment to Net Parent deficit. There was no other material financial impact from adopting the new revenue recognition standard.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . The ASU revised then-existing GAAP and outlines a new model for lessors and lessees to use in accounting for lease contracts. The guidance requires lessees to recognize an ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases. Lessees will classify leases as either operating (resulting in straight-line expense recognition) or finance (resulting in a front-loaded expense pattern). In July 2018, the FASB issued an ASU which allowed for an alternative transition approach, which does not require adjustments to comparative prior-period amounts. Topic 842 and all related ASUs are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis using a simplified transition approach, with no adjustment made to our prior period combined financial statements. We elected to apply the package of practical expedients, including not reassessing whether expired or existing contracts contained leases, the classification of those leases and initial direct costs for any existing leases. We also elected to exclude short-term leases (term of 12 months or less) from the balance sheet presentation. The most significant impact from adopting the standard was the initial recognition of ROU assets and operating lease liabilities on our previously combined balance sheet. Upon adoption, we recorded ROU assets (adjusted for deferred rent) and operating lease liabilities of $37 million and $39 million, respectively, representing the present value of future lease payments with terms greater than 12 months. There was no other impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance modify the impairment model to use an expected loss methodology in place of the previously used incurred loss methodology, which may result in earlier recognition of losses related to financial instruments. This change is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted, and requires a cumulative effect adjustment to the balance sheet upon adoption. We adopted these requirements as of January 1, 2020 with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income . This guidance permits companies to reclassify to retained earnings the tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the standard as of January 1, 2019 which resulted in a reclassification of $3 million of income tax expense from accumulated other comprehensive income into Net Parent deficit.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs for internal-use software. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the standard as of January 1, 2020 with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans . This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the standard as of January 1, 2021 with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. This ASU removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the standard as of January 1, 2021 with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance :
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting , which provides optional expedients and exceptions to applying the guidance on contract modifications, hedge accounting, and other transactions, to simplify the accounting for transitioning from the London Interbank Offered Rate, and other interbank offered rates expected to be discontinued, to alternative reference rates. This ASU was effective upon its issuance and can be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. We are currently assessing the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

External Debt Facilities
In February 2020, we entered into new external debt facilities (“External Debt Facilities”), which consist of (i) a $2,475 million senior secured term loan facility (“Term Loan Facility”); and (ii) a $250 million senior secured revolving credit facility (“Revolving Facility”). In addition, on February 4, 2020 we entered into, and extinguished, a $1,168 million facility (“IPO Settlement Facility”). The proceeds from the Term Loan Facility and IPO Settlement Facility, net of transaction costs and original issue discounts, together with available cash, were used to repay accrued related party interest and a portion of the related party loans payable.
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 September 2020, we entered into a series of interest rate swaps to hedge a portion of the interest rate exposure resulting from these borrowings. Refer to Note 8 – Financial Instruments for further details.
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. We are currently in compliance with the covenants contained in our External Debt Facilities.
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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Term Loan Facility
The Term Loan Facility matures in February 2027. The Term Loan Facility amortizes in equal quarterly installments of $6 million, which commenced in June 2020, with the balance payable on maturity. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we made voluntary principal payments of $200 million on our Term Loan Facility.
Revolving Facility
The Revolving Facility matures in February 2025 and includes a sub-facility for letters of credit. As of December 31, 2020, 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.
Reallocation of Borrowings Under the PEI Group Credit Agreement
The U.S Term Loan outstanding under the PEI Group Credit Agreement was reallocated to an entity within PEI Group and on February 4, 2020, we were fully and unconditionally released from the security and guarantee arrangements relating to PEI Group’s borrowings.
Fair Value of Our Long-Term Debt
The fair value of our long-term debt as of December 31, 2020, which is a Level 2 fair value measurement, approximates the carrying value due to the variable market interest rate and the stability of our credit profile.

Note 7 - Leases
We lease certain buildings and plant and equipment. Our leases have reasonably assured remaining lease terms of up to 9 years . Certain leases include options to renew for up to 15 years . At lease inception, we determine the lease term by assuming the exercise of those renewal options that are reasonably certain. Some leases have variable payments, however, because they are not based on an index or rate, they are not included in the measurement of ROU assets and operating lease liabilities. Variable payments for real estate leases relate primarily to common area maintenance, insurance, taxes and utilities associated with the properties. Variable payments for equipment leases relate primarily to hours, miles, or other quantifiable usage factors, which are not determinable at the time of lease inception. These variable payments are expensed as incurred. The discount rate applied to our leases in determining the present value of lease payments is our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in our consolidated balance sheets and we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We do not have finance leases.

Note 8 - Financial Instruments
Interest Rate Derivatives
During the year ended December 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. We classified these instruments as cash flow hedges. Our cash flow hedge contracts are for periods ranging from one to five years. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the open hedging instrument is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and will be reclassified into earnings as interest expense, net when settled. The associated asset or liability on the open hedges is recorded at its fair value in other assets or other liabilities , as applicable. The effect of our interest rate derivatives on accumulated other comprehensive income and the consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2020 was not material. The fair value of our interest rate contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments included on our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 was not material.
Commodity Derivatives
Commodity derivative contracts are recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets and consisted of zero and $1 million , recorded in other current assets , as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Our commodity contracts are primarily commodity swaps and are all Level 2 financial assets and liabilities. Commodity derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the observable market commodity index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount or based on pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as commodity prices. Our calculation of the fair value of these financial instruments takes into consideration the risk of non-performance, including counterparty credit risk. The majority of our commodity derivative contracts do not have a legal right of set-off. We manage the credit risk in connection with our derivatives by limiting the amount of exposure with each counterparty and monitoring the financial condition of our counterparties.
During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, we recognized no unrealized gain or loss , an unrealized gain of $9 million and an unrealized loss of $14 million, respectively, in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of income.

Note 9 - Benefit Plans
Defined Benefit Plan
Prior to our separation from PEI Group and IPO, certain of our employees participated in a defined benefit plan sponsored by PEI Group, along with participants of PEI Group's other businesses. This plan was accounted for as a multiemployer plan in our previously combined financial statements presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and as a result, no asset or liability was recorded by us to recognize the funded status of the plan. We recorded expense of $3 million relating to our employees’ participation in the PEI Group sponsored plan in cost of sales for each of the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded no expense relating to our employees' participation in the PEI Group sponsored plan in our consolidated statements of income. After the separation, this obligation was retained by PEI Group.
After our separation from PEI Group and IPO, we established a defined benefit plan for certain of our employees. The initial liability was $2 million which was funded during 2020. The plan is non-contributory and eligible employees are fully vested after five years of service.

The year-end discount rate for our plan reflects a weighted-average rate from a high-quality corporate bond yield curve that matches the expected duration of the benefit payments. Changes in our discount rates were primarily the result of changes in bond yields year-over-year. Our expected health care cost trend rate is based on historical costs and long-term expectations.

Components of Net Periodic Postretirement Costs:
Our total net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost for each of the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was not material. Prior to the separation from PEI Group, our net periodic benefit costs included only our other postretirement benefit plan. After the separation, total net periodic benefit costs include all costs associated with our defined benefit and other postretirement plans.
The service cost component of net periodic postretirement costs, interest cost and amortization of actuarial gain are recognized in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of income.

Note 10 - Stock-based Compensation
We granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) in July 2019 to certain members of management, pursuant to retention agreements entered into with these employees (the “IPO Grants”). These RSUs vest upon satisfaction of both a performance-based vesting condition (the “IPO Condition”) and a service-based vesting condition (the “Service Condition”). The IPO Condition was satisfied when we completed our IPO on February 4, 2020. The Service Condition will be satisfied with respect to one-third of an employee’s RSUs on each anniversary from the date of our IPO for three consecutive years, subject to the employee’s continued employment through the applicable vesting date.
In addition, in conjunction with our Corporate Reorganization and IPO, we have established a 2020 equity incentive plan for purposes of granting stock-based compensation awards to certain of our senior management, our non-executive directors and to certain employees, to incentivize their performance and align their interests with ours. A maximum of 10.5 million shares of common stock were initially available for issuance under equity incentive awards granted pursuant to the plan . In the year ended December 31, 2020, 0.3 million RSUs and 0.2 million PSUs were granted.

Note 1 3 - Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings:
We are from time to time party to litigation, legal proceedings and tax examinations arising from our operations. Most of these matters involve allegations of damages against us relating to employment matters, personal injury and commercial or contractual disputes. We record estimates for claims and proceedings that constitute a present obligation when it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of such obligation can be made. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of any of these matters, based on our assessment of the facts and circumstances, we do not believe any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, actual outcomes may differ from those expected and could have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows in a future period.
As of December 31, 2020, there were no legal proceedings pending other than those for which we have determined that the possibility of a material outflow is remote.

Note 1 5 - Income Taxes
Prior to our separation from PEI Group and IPO, our U.S. operations were included in the U.S. federal consolidated and certain state and local tax returns filed by PEI Group. We also file certain separate U.S. state and local and foreign income tax returns. For the periods prior to the separation, income tax (expense) benefit and deferred tax balances are presented in the consolidated financial statements as if we filed tax returns on a stand-alone basis. Income tax payable balances as of December 31, 2019, were classified within “Net Parent deficit” on the consolidated balance sheet since PEI Group was legally liable for the tax. Upon separation from PEI Group, becoming a separate taxable entity and the change from carve-out financial statements to consolidated financial statements, we have remeasured certain deferred taxes. These adjustments have been recognized directly in equity.

Deferred tax assets related to state and foreign net operating loss carryovers and state tax credit carryovers are available to offset future state and foreign taxable earnings. We have provided a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying value of certain of these deferred tax assets, as we have concluded that, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be fully realized. Valuation allowances were $5 million and $3 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. There were no material changes in valuation allowances in any of the years presented.
Uncertain Tax Positions
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold of more-likely-than not to be sustained upon examination as it relates to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. Our policy is to include interest and penalties related to gross unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

Each year we file income tax returns in the various federal, state, local and foreign income taxing jurisdictions in which we operate. Foreign jurisdictions comprise Canada and China. Our income tax returns are subject to examination and possible challenge by the tax authorities. Although ultimate timing is uncertain, the net amount of tax liability for unrecognized tax benefits may change within the next twelve months due to changes in audit status, settlements of tax assessments and other events.
Prior to February 4, 2020, we were part of consolidated U.S. federal tax returns filed by PEI Group. Under a Tax Matters Agreement, entered into as part of our corporate reorganization prior to our IPO, PEI Group has retained responsibility for all U.S. federal tax matters for periods to and including February 4, 2020.
State income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of 3 to 5 years after filing of the respective return.
The open tax years for our Canadian income taxes are 2015 and forward. The open tax years for our Chinese income taxes are 2014 and forward. We have no current or recent tax audits in either Canada or China.
Taxes Paid
Taxes paid were $76 million, $4 million and $8 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Prior to our separation from PEI Group and IPO, our U.S. entities were members of a consolidated U.S. tax entity group for federal and certain state tax returns filed by the PEI Group. For periods prior to our separation, the current U.S. federal and state tax liabilities of our U.S. entities was aggregated with the other members of the consolidated U.S. tax entity group and settled on a net basis by a related party. There was no formal tax sharing agreement. The settlement of our current U.S. federal and state taxes for the periods prior to our separation were recognized directly as a movement in Net Parent deficit.
Note 16 - Segment Information
Our Chief Executive Officer, who has been identified as our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), has evaluated how he views and measures our performance. ASC 280 Segment Reporting establishes the standards for reporting information about segments in financial statements. In applying the criteria set forth in ASC 280, we have determined that we have four reportable segments - Reynolds Cooking & Baking, Hefty Waste & Storage, Hefty Tableware and Presto Products. The key factors used to identify these reportable segments are the organization and alignment of our internal operations and the nature of our products. This reflects how our CODM monitors performance, allocates capital and makes strategic and operational decisions. Our segments are described as follows:
Reynolds Cooking & Baking
Our Reynolds Cooking & Baking segment produces branded and store brand foil, disposable aluminum pans, parchment paper, freezer paper, wax paper, plastic wrap, baking cups, oven bags and slow cooker liners. Our branded products are sold under the Reynolds Wrap, Reynolds KITCHENS and E-Z Foil brands in the United States and selected international markets, under the ALCAN brand in Canada and under the Diamond brand outside of North America.
Hefty Waste & Storage
Our Hefty Waste & Storage segment produces both branded and store brand trash and food storage bags. Our products are sold under the Hefty Ultra Strong, Hefty Strong Trash Bags, Hefty Renew and Hefty Slider Bags brands.
68
Reynolds Consumer Products Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Hefty Tableware
Our Hefty Tableware segment sells both branded and store brand disposable and compostable plates, bowls, platters, cups and cutlery. Our Hefty branded products include dishes and party cups.
Presto Products
Our Presto Products segment primarily sells store brand products in four main categories: food storage bags, trash bags, 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.
Information by Segment
We present segment adjusted EBITDA ("Adjusted EBITDA") as this is the financial measure by which management and our CODM allocate resources and analyze the performance of our reportable segments.
Adjusted EBITDA represents each segment's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization and is further adjusted to e xclude unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives, costs associated with rationalizing operations and administrative functions, factoring discounts, amortization of actuarial gains, the allocated related party management fee and IPO and separation-related costs.
Total assets by segment are those assets directly associated with the respective operating activities, comprising inventory, property, plant and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets. Other assets, such as cash, accounts receivable and intangible assets, are monitored on an entity-wide basis and not included in segment information that is regularly reviewed by our CODM.
The accounting policies applied by our segments are the same as those described in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Transactions between segments are at negotiated prices.

We historically operated as part of PEI Group. In preparation for our IPO, PEI Group transferred its interest in us to Packaging Finance Limited (“PFL”). PFL owns the majority of our outstanding common stock and owns the majority of the outstanding common stock of PEI Group.

Transactions Related to our Separation from PEI Group
On November 1, 2019, as part of our separation from PEI Group, we acquired the legal title to certain property, plant and equipment and inventories from PEI Group for cash consideration of $112 million which represented fair market value and is presented within net transfers from (to) Parent in our consolidated statements of cash flows. These assets are directly attributable to our business and have been historically reflected in our consolidated financial statements, at their respective net book values, within our Hefty Tableware segment.
We had written interest-bearing loan agreements in place with PEI Group. In June 2019, all of our non-current related party receivables and a portion of current related party receivables were used to reduce the balances outstanding of various related party borrowings, related party accrued interest payable and related party payables. As a result of this process, we net settled related party borrowings of $1,714 million, related party accrued interest payable of $655 million and related party payables of $94 million. Accordingly, we had no related party long-term receivables as of December 31, 2019. Related party borrowings were $2,214 million as of December 31, 2019. Related party accrued interest payable was $18 million as of December 31, 2019. We remitted accrued interest payable on the borrowings to PEI Group as and when requested in conjunction with its cash management activities. Interest expense and income related to these loan agreements are discussed in Note 6 - Debt and were accrued based on the written loan agreements. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we borrowed $98 million ($31 million non-cash), from PEI Group and repaid borrowings of $141 million. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2019, $36 million of accrued interest was capitalized into related party borrowings. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we advanced loans of $170 million to PEI Group and received repayments of $151 million. The weighted average contractual interest rate related to our related party borrowings as of December 31, 2019 was 2.20% .

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
On January 30, 2020, we repurchased all of the U.S. accounts receivable that we previously sold through PEI Group’s securitization facility for $264 million, $240 million of which was settled in cash and the remaining am ount used to settle certain current related party receivables. The cash to purchase these receivables was provided by an increase in related party borrowings, which was subsequently settled as discussed below.
On January 30, 2020, our outstanding borrowings, net of deferred financing transaction costs and original issue discounts plus accrued interest incurred under the PEI Group Credit Agreement were reallocated to an entity within PEI Group and on February 4, 2020, we were fully and unconditionally released from the security and guarantee arrangements relating to PEI Group’s borrowings. This reallocation resulted in a payment to PEI Group of $8 million for accrued interest and an increase of $2,001 million in related party borrowings, which was subsequently settled as discussed below.
On February 4, 2020, we repaid $3,627 million of related party borrowings and $22 million of related party accrued interest owed to PEI Group and capitalized, as additional paid-in capital without the issuance of any additional shares, the remaining $831 million balance of the related party borrowings owed to PEI Group.
