**Consolidated Results**

Univar Solutions reported net sales of $2.6 billion, an increase of 3.8 percent on a reported basis and 6.9 percent on a constant currency basis<sup>(1)</sup> compared to the prior-year fourth quarter. Higher sales were attributable to our pricing discipline, partially offset by lower demand driven by customer destocking.

Gross profit (exclusive of depreciation), which represents net sales less cost of goods sold (exclusive of depreciation), of $599.6 million decreased 5.1 percent on a reported basis and 2.5 percent on a constant currency basis<sup>(1)</sup> compared to the prior-year fourth quarter. Lower gross profit was driven primarily by higher input cost inflation and lower demand driven by customer destocking, partially offset by pricing discipline. Gross margin decreased by 220 basis points to 23.1 percent compared to the prior-year fourth quarter, primarily due to higher input cost inflation, partially offset by our pricing discipline.

Univar Solutions reported net income of $71.6 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, compared to net income of $156.8 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, in the prior-year fourth quarter. The decrease was primarily due to higher pension mark to market gains in the prior-year and lower gross profit (exclusive of depreciation), partially offset by other lower operating expenses as well as lower taxes and Warehousing, Selling and Administrative costs ("WS&A").

Adjusted earnings per diluted share<sup>(1)</sup> of $0.47 in the quarter decreased from $0.60 in the prior-year fourth quarter, driven primarily by lower net income, partially offset by lower weighted average common shares outstanding.

Adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> of $175.4 million decreased $31.7 million, or 15.3 percent, compared to the prior-year fourth quarter, or a decrease of 12.9 percent on a constant currency basis<sup>(1)</sup>. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> was primarily driven by lower gross profit.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $375.6 million from $175.2 million in the prior-year fourth quarter, primarily driven by lower net working capital use and partially offset by lower net income.

Liquidity as of December 31, 2022, was $1,061 million, consisting of $385 million of cash-on-hand and availability under committed, asset-based credit facilities.

Our leverage ratio<sup>(1)</sup> was 2.0x at December 31, 2022, compared to 2.1x at September 30, 2022. We define leverage ratio<sup>(1)</sup> as net debt<sup>(1)</sup> divided by last twelve months ("LTM") Adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup>. Net debt<sup>(1)</sup> of $2,081 million at December 31, 2022 reflects total short-term and long-term debt of $2,466 million less cash and cash equivalents of $385 million. For the year ended December 31, 2022, LTM net income was $545 million and LTM Adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> was $1,048 million, as discussed in more detail in the schedules to this press release.

**Segment Results**

**<u>USA:</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• USA external sales increased 5.3 percent during the quarter, primarily due to pricing discipline, partially offset by lower demand driven by customer destocking.

Adjusted EBITDA margin<sup>(1)</sup> decreased by 110 basis points to 7.0 percent primarily due to lower gross profit, partially offset by lower WS&A.

**Outlook**

"We believe as a value added service provider, our customer focused business strategy positions us well to continue to navigate the dynamic macroeconomic environment and gives us confidence in 2023 and beyond," said Jukes. The Company expects Adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> to be between $200 million and $220 million for the first quarter of 2023 as compared to $319 million for the first quarter of 2022. For full-year 2023, the Company expects Adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> to be within a range of $900 million to $930 million, excluding the effects of pending acquisitions, as compared to $1,046 million for full-year 2022. Our forecast reflects anticipated continued strong operational execution, market share growth, new supplier authorizations, savings from our Value Capture Program, and disciplined cost management. Net Free Cash Flow<sup>(1)</sup> is expected to be in a range of $425 million to $445 million for full-year 2023.

The Company reaffirms its previously announced 2025 objectives and expects to deliver:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> margins of greater than 9 percent

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 2025 Adjusted EPS<sup>(1)</sup> greater than $4.50

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 50 percent Net Free Cash Flow<sup>(1)</sup> conversion

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Greater than 20 percent Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)<sup>(1)</sup>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Maintain leverage ratio<sup>(1)</sup> between 2.0x and 2.5x

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Continued pursuit of accretive strategic M&A opportunities

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Average annual capital return to stockholders of 50 percent of Adjusted Net Income<sup>(1)</sup> 

The majority of the Company's debt obligations mature in 2026 and beyond. The Company is in full compliance with the covenants under its credit agreements as of December 31, 2022.

The Company is not providing a reconciliation of its forward-looking objectives to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure because a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable efforts. The GAAP measures are not available due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of certain items that would be expected to impact GAAP measures, such as, but not limited to, business acquisition and integration expenses, non-operating pension plan gains or losses, potential impairment charges, gains or losses on foreign currency transactions and undesignated derivative instruments, debt refinancing costs, gains or losses on divestitures, discrete tax items and other unusual or nonrecurring items that might materially impact GAAP measures. The unavailable information includes items that are evaluated on an ongoing basis, can be highly variable and cannot be reasonably predicted. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company's GAAP financial results.

**Conference Call and Webcast Details**

The Company will host a webcast with investors to discuss 2022 Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Financial Results at 9:00 a.m. ET on **February 22, 2023**, which can be accessed on the Investor Relations section of its website at http://investors.univarsolutions.com. After the live webcast, a replay of the webcast will be available on the same website until February 22, 2025.

**Use of Non-GAAP Measures**

In this press release, the Company's financial results are provided both in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and using certain Non-GAAP financial measures. In particular, the Company presents the Non-GAAP financial measures of gross profit (exclusive of depreciation), gross margin (defined as gross profit (exclusive of depreciation) divided by net sales on a consolidated basis and by external sales on a segment level, as applicable), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin (defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales on a consolidated basis and by external sales on a segment level, as applicable), Adjusted net income, Adjusted earnings per diluted share, leverage ratio, net free cash flow, ROIC (defined as the last twelve months ("LTM") Adjusted Net Income divided by Net Assets Deployed) and results on a constant currency basis. The Non-GAAP financial measures are included as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP because management believes these Non-GAAP financial measures help investors' ability to analyze underlying trends in the Company's business, evaluate its performance relative to other companies in its industry and provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the Company's core operating results. Additionally, the Company has used, and may continue to use, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted earnings per diluted share in setting performance incentive targets to more closely align management compensation with operational performance.

The Company evaluates its results of operations on both an as reported and a constant currency basis. The constant currency presentation is a Non-GAAP financial measure, which excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company believes providing information on a constant currency basis provides valuable supplemental information regarding its results of operations, consistent with how it evaluates its performance. The Company calculates constant currency percentages and other information by converting its financial results in local currency for a period using the average exchange rate for the prior period to which it is comparing.

The Non-GAAP financial measures noted above are not calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA and other such metrics differently than the Company does, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. For further information related to the Company's use of Non-GAAP financial measures, and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, see the schedules attached hereto.

(1)Immaterial differences may exist in the calculation of per share amounts due to rounding.

(2)Diluted and adjusted diluted earnings per share is calculated using net income or adjusted net income available to common stockholders divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding during each period, which includes unvested restricted shares. Diluted earnings per share considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is based on the GAAP dilutive share count, except where adjustments to GAAP net loss result in an adjusted net income position.

(3)Reconciling items represent certain items disclosed on Schedule E included in this document, excluding stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, gain on sale of property, plant and equipment, certain employee severance and facility closure costs and other.

(4)For the three months ended December 31, 2021, Nexeo employee severance and other facility closure costs represent $2.6 million of other employee severance costs as disclosed on Schedule E included in this document. For the three months ended December 31, 2021, shared service employee severance and other facility closure costs represent ($0.3 million) of other employee severance costs related to the Company's shared service relocation as disclosed on Schedule E included in this document. For the three months ended December 31, 2021, Nexeo acquisition and integration related expenses represent $10.7 million of acquisition and integration related expenses as disclosed on Schedule E included in this document. For the year ended December 31, 2021, Nexeo employee severance and other facility closure costs represent $7.0 million of other employee severance costs and $1.1 million of other facility closure costs as disclosed on Schedule E included in this document. For the year ended December 31, 2021, shared service employee severance and other facility closure costs represent ($0.3 million) of other employee severance costs related to the Company's shared service relocation as disclosed on Schedule E included in this document. For the year ended December 31, 2021, Nexeo acquisition and integration related expenses represent $55.5 million of acquisition and integration related expenses as disclosed on Schedule E included in this document.

(5)Tax on reconciling items is calculated as the difference between the tax provisions on US GAAP pre-tax earnings and Adjusted pre-tax earnings utilizing the appropriate tax rates and laws of each jurisdiction.

(6)Discrete tax items primarily related to changes to valuation allowances for the three months and year ended December 31, 2022 and stock-based compensation expense and tax law changes for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021.

(1)Adjusted EBITDA excludes from forecasted net income the impact of gains and losses of foreign currency and on divestitures, refinancing costs, potential impairments, discrete tax items and other unusual or nonrecurring items that might materially impact GAAP net income. We have not provided a further reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income as such reconciliation is not available without unreasonable efforts because the additional components in deriving Adjusted EBITDA are evaluated on an ongoing basis, can be highly variable and cannot reasonably be predicted. In addition, forecasted net income presented within this reconciliation is provided for informational purposes only and should not be viewed as guidance, as reported GAAP net income may differ materially from forecasted net income due to the impact of the items of the type identified above.

(1)The forecasted net cash provided (used) by operating, investing and financing activities presented within this reconciliation excludes certain unusual or infrequent items, such as refinancing costs, potential impairments, discrete tax items and other unusual or nonrecurring items, impacting GAAP measures. While the Company expects that these unusual or infrequent items may occur in future periods, it is not possible to estimate the amount or significance of these unusual or infrequent items without unreasonable efforts because these items are evaluated on an ongoing basis, can be highly variable and cannot reasonably be predicted. As such, we have included above the impact of only those items about which we are aware, can be reasonably predicted and are reasonably likely to occur during the guidance period covered. These financial measures are included within this reconciliation for informational purposes only and should not be viewed as guidance, as reported GAAP measures may differ materially from such forecasted amounts due to the impact of the items of the type identified above.
