- Basis of Presentation
On November 4, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), Treasure Holdco, Inc. (“Treasure”), which was a wholly owned subsidiary of Berry Global Group, Inc. (“Berry”), completed its merger (the “Transaction”) with the Glatfelter Corporation (“GLT”) which concurrently changed its name to Magnera Corporation (“the Company,” “we,” or “Magnera”). As a result, pre-Transaction Treasure shareholders received shares of Magnera representing 90% of the combined company and GLT shareholders retained 10%. The Company’s shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol MAGN.
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements of Magnera Corporation have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements. In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, we must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included, and all subsequent events up to the time of the filing have been evaluated. For further information, refer to the Company’s Form 8-K/A filed on January 31, 2024 with the SEC.
The pre-Transaction combined financial results of operations, financial position, and cash flows have been prepared on a carve-out basis which include assumptions underlying the preparation that management believes are reasonable. However, the combined pre-Transaction financial information included herein may not necessarily reflect the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows had the Company been an independent stand-alone company during the periods presented.
For periods prior to the Closing Date, transactions between Berry and Treasure were reflected as a component of Berry's net investment in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets and as a financing activity within the accompanying Consolidated and Combined Statements of Cash Flows. Berry's net investment on the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheet and Consolidated and Combined Statement of Stockholders’ Equity represents the cumulative net investment by Berry in Treasure. Concurrent with the closing of the Transaction, Berry received a cash distribution and, in turn, transferred Berry’s health, hygiene and specialties global nonwovens and films business to Treasure. As a result, Berry's net investment in Treasure was reduced tozero with a corresponding adjustment to Additional Paid-in Capital.
Treasure was deemed to be the accounting acquirer of GLT; therefore, the historical financial statements of Treasure are reflected in this filing as the Company’s historical financial statements. Accordingly, the financial results of Magnera as of and for any period prior to the Closing Date do not include the financial results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of GLT.

- Revenue and Accounts Receivable
Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied, in an amount reflecting the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. We consider the promise to transfer products to be our sole performance obligation. Generally, our revenue is recognized for standard promised goods at the time of shipment, when title and risk of loss pass to the customer. The Company disaggregates revenue based on geography. See Note 9—Segment and Geographic Data.
The Company records current expected credit losses based on a variety of factors including historical loss experience and current customer financial condition. The changes to our current expected credit losses, write-off activity, and recoveries were not material for any of the periods presented.
The Company has entered into various factoring agreements, primarily customer-based supply chain financing programs, to sell certain receivables to third-party financial institutions. These agreements result in true sales of the transferred receivables, which occur when receivables are transferred without recourse to the Company, are reflected as a reduction of trade receivables, net on the consolidated and combined balance sheets and the proceeds are included in the cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated and combined statements of cash flows.

On November 4, 2024, the Transaction was completed with GLT. The Transaction combined GLT’s sustainable solutions and product portfolio with Treasure’s proprietary technologies and global scale.

The results of GLT have been included in the consolidated results of the Company since the Closing Date.
The GLT acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Under this method, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded based on estimated fair values as of the Closing Date. Certain assets, including inventory, intangibles, and property, plant, and equipment included in the purchase price allocation have been estimated based on historical acquisitions. The Company will have a full valuation analysis performed over the acquired business during subsequent quarters and will continue to update the purchase price allocation throughout the year. The Company has recognized goodwill on this Transaction primarily as a result of expected cost synergies, and expects goodwill not to be deductible for tax purposes.

- Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to certain risks arising from business operations and economic factors. The Company may use derivative financial instruments to help manage market risk and reduce the exposure to fluctuations in foreign currencies. These financial instruments are not used for trading or other speculative purposes.
Cross-Currency Swaps
The Company is party to certain cross-currency swaps to hedge a portion of our foreign currency risk. The swap agreements mature November 2027 (€200 million) and November 2029 (€375 million). The swaps are designated as a hedge of the Company’s foreign currency investment in foreign subsidiaries.
The Company records the fair value positions of all derivative financial instruments on a net basis by counterparty for which a master netting arrangement is utilized. Balances on a gross basis are as follows:

Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company has certain assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis when impairment indicators are present or when the Company completes an acquisition. The Company adjusts certain long-lived assets to fair value only when the carrying values exceed the fair values. The categorization of the framework used to value the assets is considered Level 3, due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used to determine the fair value. These assets that are subject to our impairment analysis primarily include our definite lived and indefinite lived intangible assets, including Goodwill and our Property, plant and equipment. The Company reviews Goodwill and other indefinite lived assets for impairment as of the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter each year and more frequently if impairment indicators exist. As a result of the fiscal 2024 assessment, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $172 million. No impairment indicators were identified in the current quarter.
Included in the following tables are the major categories of assets and their current carrying values, along with the impairment loss recognized on the fair value measurement for the period then ended:

The book value of our marketable long-term indebtedness exceeded fair value by $73 million as of December 28, 2024. The Company’s long-term debt fair values were determined using Level 2 inputs (substantially observable).

- Contingencies and Commitments
Litigation
The Company is party to various legal proceedings involving routine claims which are incidental to its business. Although the Company’s legal and financial liability with respect to such proceedings cannot be estimated with certainty, the Company believes that any ultimate liability would not be material to its consolidated and combined financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Environmental Claims
Over the next 30 years, we are primarily responsible for the reimbursement of government oversight costs associated with certain environmental claims in lower Fox River located in Neenah. At December 28, 2024 the outstanding balance of the environmental liability and corresponding escrow asset was $14 million and $9 million, respectively.
Tax Claims
As part of a previous acquisition, the Company acquired a liability related to certain tax claims treated as a deferred purchase price (the “Deferred Consideration”). The Deferred Consideration accretes at a rate of 9.5% per annum compounded daily, which shall be paid to the selling stockholders of the previous acquisition to the extent certain existing and potential tax claims are resolved. At December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the outstanding balance of the Deferred Consideration was $48 million and $55 million, respectively. If the Company incurs actual tax liability with respect to the tax claims, the amount of the Deferred Consideration owed to the selling stockholders will be reduced by the amount of such actual tax liability. The Company will be responsible for any actual tax liability in excess of the Deferred Consideration. The Deferred Consideration is reflected on the consolidated and combined balance sheets in Other long-term liabilities as the settlement of existing and potential claims is expected to be greater than one year.
- Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income or earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents.
The following tables provide a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted EPS calculations:
| Quarterly Period Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| (in millions, except share amounts) | December 28, 2024 | December 30, 2023 |
| Numerator | ||
| Consolidated net income (loss) | $(60) | $(8) |
| Denominator | ||
| Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic and dilutive | 35.4 | 31.8 |
- 11 -
While there were no shares outstanding in prior periods, an allocation of 90% of the shares as of the completion of the Transaction have been provided for comparability purposes. Shares excluded from the current period calculation as the effect of their conversion into shares of our common stock would be antidilutive were 1.1 million.
- Corporate Expense Allocation
Based on management estimates, $3 million and $4 million of general corporate expenses including information technology, accounting, legal, human resources, and other services were allocated to Treasure periods prior to the Closing Date for the quarterly period ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively. Management estimates corporate costs on a standalone basis would have been approximately $17 million to $22 million per year.
- Subsequent Events
In January 2025, the Company entered into a transaction to cash settle existing cross-currency swaps and received proceeds of $22 million. The swap settlement impact will be included as a component of Currency translation within Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Concurrently with the settlement of the existing cross-currency swaps, the Company entered into new cross-currency swap agreements that mature November 2027 (€250 million) and November 2029 (€425 million).
