ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--WestRock Company (NYSE:WRK), a leading provider of differentiated paper and packaging solutions, today announced results for its fiscal second quarter ended March 31, 2020, and provided an update related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company.
Second quarter of fiscal 2020 financial highlights include:
- Net sales of $4.45 billion decreased by 3.7% compared to the prior year quarter
- $0.57 per diluted share and $0.67 of adjusted earnings per diluted share compared to $0.62 per diluted share and $0.80 of adjusted earnings per diluted share in the prior year quarter
- Strong segment margins in rapidly changing economic environment
- In excess of $2.5 billion of availability under long-term committed credit facilities and cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2020
WestRock is executing its differentiated strategy with financial strength and substantial liquidity. Given the uncertainties associated with the severity and duration of COVID-19, the Company is focused on meeting the needs of WestRock’s customers, supporting the health, safety and well-being of its teammates, and further building on its foundation of financial strength by:
- Providing one-time recognition awards to the Company’s manufacturing and operations teammates in the third quarter of fiscal 2020
- Continuing to match the Company's supply with its customers’ demand
- Decreasing salaries and retainers up to 25% for the Company’s senior executive team and board of directors in addition to reducing discretionary expenses
- The Company expects to use company stock to pay its annual incentive and company funded 401(k) contributions in 2020
- Reducing fiscal 2020 capital investments by approximately $150 million, to a level of $950 million; reduce fiscal 2021 capital investments to a range of $600 to $800 million
- Resetting its quarterly dividend to $0.20 per share for an annual rate of $0.80 per share
“I am incredibly proud of the WestRock team that is focused every day on ensuring that the paper and packaging needed to keep critical supply chains operating during the pandemic are available for our customers and our communities,” said Steve Voorhees, chief executive officer. “With operations around the world, we have been working steadily to help our team stay safe by implementing enhanced protection and sanitization measures across our company. We are relentlessly focused on ensuring the health and safety of our teammates.
“In the second quarter, WestRock delivered solid results with improved demand in select key markets as the pandemic impacted consumer buying habits, especially in March. We are adapting quickly to the uncertain economic and market demand conditions and taking steps that we expect will provide an additional $1 billion in cash available for debt reduction through fiscal 2021. We are confident in our differentiated strategy and value proposition, and believe these steps will ensure that WestRock remains well positioned for long-term success.”
Health and Safety of our Teammates
WestRock’s first priority is the health and safety of its teammates, and the Company has taken, and continues to take, actions to protect the health and safety of its teammates during the COVID-19 pandemic, including:
- Cleaning and disinfecting workstations and common surfaces frequently and arranging for deep cleaning and sanitizing of WestRock’s sites, as needed
- Implemented temperature screenings in compliance with applicable law
- Encouraging the use of face coverings generally and complying with specific requirements where use is mandated
- Enforcing quarantine guidelines for team members affected or potentially exposed to COVID-19
- Supporting flexible and alternative work arrangements, including a work-from-home strategy for team members whose jobs can be performed remotely
- Launched an online Coronavirus Resource Center to keep teammates up to date on Company and health authority information, including information from the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Business Continuity
WestRock is an essential part of the global supply chain. The Company’s paper and packaging products enable its customers to package essential food, beverage, health products, cleaning products and other goods. The Company is continuing to operate and meet or exceed its customers’ needs in this rapidly evolving demand environment.
The Company has formed a business continuity team comprised of senior leaders throughout its organization that develops and implements business continuity plans to ensure that the Company’s operations are well positioned to continue producing and delivering products to customers without disruption. The business continuity team meets daily to identify and address issues as they arise and focuses on taking actions that address current circumstances associated with COVID-19 while positioning the Company for future growth.
Financial Flexibility and Liquidity
WestRock believes that it has substantial liquidity to navigate the current dynamic environment. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and long-term committed available borrowings aggregated to more than $2.5 billion of liquidity at March 31, 2020. The Company has limited debt maturities until March 2022.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act allows employers to postpone paying their share of employment taxes incurred through the end of calendar year 2020. The Company expects to postpone an estimated $120 million of such payments over the next three quarters and will be required to pay 50% of these amounts in December 2021 and the remaining 50% in December 2022.
As noted above, WestRock is reducing its planned fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2021 capital investments and resetting its dividend. WestRock is taking other actions to provide additional cash flow available for debt reduction while maintaining its system and making the capital investments necessary to improve productivity and supply its growing markets. The Company also expects to use company stock to pay its annual incentive and 401(k) contributions in 2020. WestRock remains focused on maintaining its investment grade rating and managing its working capital and taking appropriate actions to ensure its access to necessary liquidity.
Dividend Announcement
The Company today reported that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share on its common stock, or $0.80 on an annualized basis. The quarterly dividend will be paid to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 19, 2020 and will be paid on May 28, 2020.
Consolidated Financial Results
The Company is withdrawing its fiscal 2020 net sales, Adjusted Segment EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow guidance due to the unknown duration and severity of reduced economic activity associated with COVID-19.

Operating Highlights for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 compared to March 31, 2019:
Net sales decreased $173 million compared to the prior year quarter. Corrugated Packaging segment net sales declined $108 million, primarily due to lower corrugated selling price/mix, partially offset by higher volumes. Consumer Packaging segment net sales declined $52 million, primarily due to lower selling price/mix, lower volumes and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency.
Segment income decreased $61 million compared to the prior year quarter. Corrugated Packaging segment income decreased $66 million and Consumer Packaging segment income increased $6 million.
Additional information about the changes in segment net sales and income is included below.
Restructuring and Other Items

- $8 million of restructuring costs, primarily associated with severance and other employee costs (including a voluntary retirement program) and plant consolidations

Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities and Other Financing and Investing Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $168 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to $362 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to increased working capital usage in the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter.

Operating Highlights for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 compared to March 31, 2019:
Segment net sales decreased $108 million, primarily due to $170 million of lower selling price/mix on sales for the quarter and $18 million of unfavorable foreign currency impacts that were partially offset by $77 million of higher volumes in the current quarter. The Corrugated Packaging segment delivered a Segment EBITDA margin of 16.8% and a North American Adjusted Segment EBITDA margin of 19.0%.
Segment income decreased $66 million. The margin impact of lower selling price/mix of $170 million was partially offset by $104 million of net cost deflation, productivity improvements, higher volumes, decreased impact of economic downtime and other items, including increased costs resulting from the North Charleston, South Carolina mill reconfiguration.

Operating Highlights for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 compared to March 31, 2019:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations
WestRock reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). However, management believes certain non-GAAP financial measures provide investors and other users with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing our ongoing performance. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions, and in evaluating WestRock’s performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, WestRock’s GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial measures we present may differ from similarly captioned measures presented by other companies. We discuss below details of the non-GAAP financial measures presented by us and provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted Segment EBITDA and Adjustments to Segment EBITDA
WestRock uses the non-GAAP financial measure “Adjusted Segment EBITDA”, along with other factors, to evaluate our segment performance. Management believes adjusting “Segment EBITDA” for certain items provides WestRock’s board of directors, investors, potential investors, securities analysts and others with useful information to evaluate WestRock’s performance across periods or relative to our peers, and that adjusting “Segment EBITDA” to “Adjusted Segment EBITDA” more closely aligns those results to the adjustments in Adjusted Net Income that relate to “Segment EBITDA”. The consolidated financial results and segment tables include a reconciliation of “Adjusted Segment EBITDA” to “Segment EBITDA” by adding certain “Adjustments” to “Segment EBITDA”. These “Adjustments” are reflected in the “Adjusted Net Income” reconciliation tables below.
Adjusted Segment Sales and Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margins
With respect to Adjusted Segment Sales, management believes that adjusting Segment Sales for trade sales is consistent with how peers present their sales for purposes of computing margins and helps analysts compare companies in the same peer group. WestRock uses the non-GAAP financial measure “Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margins”, along with other factors, to evaluate our segment performance against our peers. Management believes this measure is also useful to investors to evaluate WestRock’s performance relative to its peers. “Segment EBITDA Margin” is calculated for each segment by dividing that segment’s Segment EBITDA by Segment sales. “Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin” is calculated for each segment by dividing that segment’s Adjusted Segment EBITDA by Adjusted Segment Sales.
Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share
WestRock uses the non-GAAP financial measures “Adjusted Net Income” and “Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share”. Management believes these measures provide WestRock’s board of directors, investors, potential investors, securities analysts and others with useful information to evaluate WestRock’s performance because they exclude restructuring and other costs and other specific items that management believes are not indicative of the ongoing operating results of the business. WestRock and its board of directors use this information to evaluate WestRock’s performance relative to other periods. WestRock believes that the most directly comparable GAAP measures to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share are Net income attributable to common stockholders, represented in the table below as the GAAP Results for Consolidated net income (i.e. Net of Tax) and the impact of Noncontrolling interests, and Earnings per diluted share, respectively. This release includes a reconciliation of Earnings per diluted share to Adjusted earnings per diluted share. Set forth below is a reconciliation of Adjusted net income to Net income attributable to common stockholders (in millions):

Adjusted Operating Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow
WestRock uses the non-GAAP financial measures “Adjusted Operating Cash Flow” and “Adjusted Free Cash Flow”. Management believes these measures provide WestRock’s board of directors, investors, potential investors, securities analysts and others with useful information to evaluate WestRock’s performance relative to other periods because it excludes certain cash restructuring and other costs, net of tax that management believes are not indicative of the ongoing operating results of the business. We believe “Adjusted Free Cash Flow” provides greater comparability across periods by excluding capital expenditures. WestRock believes that the most directly comparable GAAP measure is “Net cash provided by operating activities”. Set forth below is a reconciliation of “Adjusted Operating Cash Flow” and “Adjusted Free Cash Flow” to Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 (in millions):
