NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of our results of operations for the interim periods reported and of our financial condition as of the date of the interim balance sheet have been included. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024 included herein was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”). This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes in the 2024 Annual Report. The accounting policies used in these interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those used in the annual Consolidated Financial Statements.
The presentation of these interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes.
Basis of Consolidation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company applies the equity method of accounting for investments in which the Company is able to exercise significant influence and applies the cost method for investments in which the Company does not have significant influence and does not have readily determinable fair values. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 2025 presentation.
Discontinued Operations
Prior to the Transaction, Primo Water divested a portion of its European business and, upon completion of the Transaction, its remaining international businesses including Decantae Mineral Water Limited, Fonthill Waters Ltd, and portions of the Eden Springs Netherlands B.V. business located in Israel and the United Kingdom (collectively the "Remaining International Businesses") are presented herein as discontinued operations in accordance with U.S. GAAP. On November 25, 2024, the Company sold its interests in the Decantae Mineral Water Limited and Fonthill Waters Limited businesses. On April 11, 2025, the Company sold its interest in the Eden Springs Netherlands B.V. business located in the United Kingdom.
For the periods subsequent to the Transaction, the operating results associated with the Remaining International Businesses have been included in Net loss from discontinued operations, net of tax in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and the assets and liabilities associated with the Remaining International Businesses have been reflected as current and long-term assets and liabilities held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash flows from the Company’s discontinued operations are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Notes to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented on a continuing operations basis unless otherwise noted. See Note 4 - "Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations" for additional information on discontinued operations.
Estimates
The presentation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Such estimates include those related to sales incentives recorded against revenue, valuation of assets and liabilities in connection with acquisitions, collectability of trade receivables, self-insurance reserves, inventory obsolescence expense, realizability of deferred tax assets, useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, fair value of reporting units in connection with the annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset assessments and the incremental borrowing rate related to lease obligations.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s principal source of revenue is bottled water and beverage sales to customers primarily in the United States. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods (the obligation), which may be upon shipment of goods or upon delivery to the customer as defined in the customer contract or purchase order. Revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. Amounts collected from customers for sales taxes are excluded from the transaction price. The Company measures revenue based on the consideration specified in the customer arrangement, and revenue is recognized when the performance obligations in the customer arrangement are satisfied. A performance obligation is a contractual promise to transfer a distinct good to the customer. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when the customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation (the Company has only one obligation).
The nature of the Company’s contracts give rise to variable consideration including volume-based rebates, growth incentives, point of sale promotions, and other trade promotional discounts (sales incentives). For certain sales incentives, the accrual recorded by the Company for the rebate or discount that will be granted to the customer, requires significant estimation. The critical assumptions used in estimating the sales incentive accruals include the Company’s estimate of expected levels of performance and redemption rates, which requires judgment. These assumptions are developed based upon the historical performance of the customer's participation with similar types of promotions adjusted for current trends. These estimated sales incentives are included in the transaction price of the Company’s contracts with customers as a reduction within net sales and are included as either a reduction in accounts receivable if the customer is entitled to take a deduction on their payment, or as accrued sales incentives in accruals and other current liabilities if the Company anticipates needing to pay the customer.
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, estimated discounts reflected in Trade receivables, net of allowance for expected credit losses in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were $67.3 million and $61.8 million, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, accrued sales incentive obligations reflected in Accruals and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were $49.0 million and $39.8 million, respectively.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
To measure fair value of assets and liabilities, the Company uses the following fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs:
Level 1 — observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — significant other observable inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs for which there are little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.
Cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, net and accounts payable are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value because of their short-term maturity. See Note 7 - "Debt" for disclosures of certain financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value.
Determining which category an asset or liability falls within this hierarchy requires judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each period disclosures are presented.

NOTE 3—BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Primo Water Corporation Arrangement Agreement and Merger
As described in Note 1 - "Description of the Business", on November 8, 2024, BlueTriton and Primo Water combined their respective businesses through an all-stock transaction and became subsidiaries of the Company. The Transaction was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method with BlueTriton as the accounting acquirer in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). ASC 805 provides that in a business combination effected through an exchange of equity interests, such as the Transaction, the entity that issues equity interests is generally the acquiring entity. However, under certain situations, the acquirer for accounting purposes may not necessarily be the entity that issues its equity interest to effect the business combination, particularly when the entity was newly created by one or more parties to a business combination.
After careful consideration, BlueTriton was determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances. In identifying BlueTriton as the accounting acquirer, the companies took into account many factors including: (i) the relative voting rights in the combined entity after the business combination, (ii) the combining entity whose single owner or organized group of owners holds the largest minority voting interest in the combined entity, (iii) the composition of the governing board of directors of the combined entity, (iv) the composition of the senior management of the combined entity, (v) if one of the combining entities is significantly larger than the other combining entity or entities, (vi) which entity initiated the business combination, (vii) whether the new company formed as a result of the business combination transfers cash or other assets or incurs liabilities as consideration in the transaction, and (viii) other qualitative factors. Although no single factor was the sole determinant, the primary factors that resulted in BlueTriton being designated as the accounting acquirer were the voting rights and ownership interest; the composition of the Board; the relative size and estimated market value of the businesses; and the background of the business combination which indicates that BlueTriton was the initiator of the business combination.
Accordingly, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured at their acquisition date fair values.
Primo Water is a leading North America-focused pure-play water solutions provider that operates largely under a recurring revenue model in the large format water category (defined as 3 gallons or greater). This business strategy is commonly referred to as “razor-razorblade” because the initial sale of a product creates a base of users who frequently purchase complementary consumable products. The Company believes that the Transaction will create a leading player in the pure-play healthy hydration industry, well-positioned in one of the largest components of the U.S. beverage category.
The purchase price of $3,950.3 million has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the Company’s estimates of fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the aggregate fair values was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill arising from the acquisition is attributable to the value of the acquired assembled workforce and the premium paid. The portion of goodwill deductible for tax purposes is $68.3 million.
The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of purchase price to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Company, with the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of Primo Water’s net assets recorded as goodwill:
| ($ in millions) | Fair Value |
|---|---|
| Purchase Price | |
| Estimated fair value of equity instruments: | |
| Class A common stock issued to Primo Water shareholders | $3,883.2 |
| Replacement share-based payment awards: | |

| Performance-based RSUs converted into time-based RSUs | 39.6 |
| Time-based RSUs | 13.7 |

| Total identifiable net assets acquired | $1,192.2 | $(12.8) | $1,179.4 |
| Goodwill | 2,758.1 | 12.8 | 2,770.9 |
| Purchase price | $3,950.3 | $— | $3,950.3 |
Measurement period adjustments recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 include adjustments related to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets based on results of the preliminary valuations, adjustments to operating and financing lease right-of-use assets and obligations and inventory based on updated estimates used to calculate the acquisition date fair values, and adjustments to deferred income taxes as a result of the aforementioned items. The measurement period adjustments did not have a material effect on our results of operations in prior periods.
The assets and liabilities acquired in the Transaction are recorded at their estimated fair values per preliminary valuations and management estimates and are subject to change when formal valuations and other studies are finalized. Estimated fair values for deferred tax balances are preliminary and are also subject to change based on the final valuation results. In addition, consideration for potential loss contingencies are still under review.
The Company recordednil and $6.2 million of acquisition-related costs associated with the Transaction during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $7.7 million and $26.7 million of acquisition-related costs associated with the Transaction during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. These costs are included in Acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Intangible Assets
In the Company's determination of the fair value of intangible assets, we consider, among other factors, the best use of acquired assets, analysis of historical financial performance and estimates of future performance of the acquired business’ products.
The estimated fair values of identified intangible assets are calculated considering both market participant expectations, using an income approach, as well as estimates and assumptions provided by the Company's management.
The estimated fair value of customer relationships represents future after-tax discounted cash flows that will be derived from sales to existing customers of the acquired business as of the date of acquisition. Assumptions include projected revenue growth rates, operating expense rates, cost synergies, customer attrition rates, tax rates, contributory asset charges, and risk-adjusted discount rates.
The estimated fair value of trademarks and trade names represents the future projected cost savings associated with the premium and brand image obtained as a result of owning the trademark or trade name as opposed to obtaining the benefit of the trademark or trade name through a royalty or rental fee. Assumptions include revenue growth rate, royalty rate, and discount rate.
The estimated fair value of water rights represents the economic benefit resulting from the legal right to extract water from spring sources. The primary assumption is the discount rate.
The following table presents the components of identifiable intangible assets associated with the Transaction and their estimated weighted-average useful lives:
| ($ in millions) | Estimated Fair Market Value | Weighted-Average Useful Life (Years) |
|---|---|---|
| Trademarks and trade names | $594.8 | Indefinite |
| Definite-lived trademarks and trade names | 15.1 | 1 year |
| Customer relationships | 1,048.8 | 15 years |
| Water rights | 157.4 | 25 years |
| Software | 15.1 | 1 year |
| Other | 4.3 | 2 years |
| Total identifiable intangible assets | $1,835.5 |
Goodwill
The principal factor that resulted in recognition of goodwill was the basis of the purchase price in the Transaction, in part, on cash flow projections assuming the reduction of administration costs and the integration of acquired customers and products into the Company's operations, which is of greater value than on a standalone basis.
NOTE 4—ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Discontinued Operations
Following completion of the Transaction, Primo Water's Remaining International Businesses are presented as discontinued operations on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto.
On April 11, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its Eden Springs Netherlands B.V. business located in the United Kingdom for aggregate deal consideration of$9.7 million. The sale did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded a charge of $44.8 million to reduce the carrying value of its Eden Springs Netherlands B.V. business located in Israel to fair value less costs to sell.

Amended Credit Agreement). The Amended Credit Agreement provides for up to $150.0 million of which is available as swing line loans and up to $250.0 million of which is available as standby letters of credit.
Concurrently with the Fourth Amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company repaid all outstanding amounts and terminated its commitments under the credit agreement among Primo Water, as parent borrower, Primo Water Holdings and certain other subsidiary borrowers, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto entered into on March 6, 2020 (as amended on September 23, 2021, January 13, 2023 and July 11, 2024) which provided for a senior secured revolving credit facility in an initial aggregate committed amount of $350.0 million (the “Original Revolving Credit Facility”).

The Company recorded $2.9 million of debt issuance costs related to the Revolving Credit Facility. The new debt issuance costs along with $1.4 million of previous unamortized debt issuance costs related to the ABL Credit Facility are being amortized ratably over the remaining duration of the Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2025, the unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Revolving Credit Facility were $3.4 million and are included in Other non-current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The interest rate margin applicable to borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will be, at the Company's option, either (1) the Base Rate (which is the highest of (x) the Federal Funds Rate, plus 0.50%, (y) the Prime Rate on such day, and (z) the one-month SOFR published on such date, plus 1.00%), plus an applicable spread or (2) one-, three- or six-month SOFR or, if available from all lenders, 12-month SOFR or any period less than one month (as may be consented to by each applicable lender thereunder), plus an applicable spread. The applicable spread for SOFR loans under the Revolving Credit Facility ranges from 1.50% to 2.25%, based on the achievement of certain first lien net leverage ratios. The Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a SOFR floor of 0.00%.
The Company is required to pay a Commitment Fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.30%, based on the Company's first lien net leverage ratio, as defined by the Amended Credit Agreement.

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 varied from the U.S. statutory rate due primarily to permanent differences for which the Company has not recognized a tax benefit and losses in tax jurisdictions with existing valuation allowances.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed into U.S. tax law and contains a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting businesses. This legislation does not have a significant impact on our effective tax rate but decreases our cash tax liability for the current year.
NOTE 10—STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company granted 244,808 time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") with a weighted-average grant date fair value per share of $34.01. The fair value of the RSUs is based on the quoted market price of PRMB shares on the NYSE as of the grant date, which awards vest over three years in equal annual installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant and include a service condition.
Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company granted 467,155 Performance-based RSUs with a weighted-average grant date fair value per share of $52.97, which vest at the end of athree-year performance period beginning on the first day of the Company's 2025 fiscal year and ending on the last day of our 2027 fiscal year ("2025 Performance Awards"). The number of shares ultimately awarded will be based upon the performance payout rate, which can range from 0% to 200% of the awards granted and is based on the Company’s achievement total shareholder return (”TSR”)
relative to the TSR attained by companies within the Company's defined peer group for the applicable performance period (the “Performance Objective”). The number of Performance-based RSUs that may vest, and the related unrecognized compensation cost is subject to change based on the Performance Objectives achieved during the vesting period.
The grant date fair value of the 2025 Performance Awards granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was estimated at the grant date using the Monte-Carlo simulation model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.1% |
|---|---|
| Average expected life (years) | 2.9 |
| Expected volatility | 27.8% |
| Beginning TSR Price | $30.74 |
The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the grant date with a term equal to the simulation period used in the Monte-Carlo simulation model. The simulation period is equal to the performance periods associated with the performance shares. Volatility is based on the Company's historical share price data. Beginning TSR price is equal to the average closing price for the 20 trading days from December 3, 2024 to December 31, 2024.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company granted 60,939 shares of Class A common stock with an aggregate grant date fair value of approximately $2.0 million to the non-management members of its Board of Directors under the Primo Brands Corporation Equity Incentive Plan. The shares of Class A common stock were issued in consideration of the directors’ fees and were fully vested upon issuance or deferral.

NOTE 13—HEDGING TRANSACTIONS AND DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company is directly and indirectly affected by changes in foreign currency market conditions and commodity prices on items such as diesel fuel and petroleum-based products. These changes in market conditions and commodity prices may adversely impact the Company's financial performance and are referred to as market risks. When deemed appropriate by management, the Company uses derivatives as a risk management tool to mitigate the potential impact of foreign currency market risks and commodity price risks.
The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to manage the foreign exchange risk associated with the principal balance of the Company's 3.875% Senior Notes and non-tendered Original 3.875% Senior Notes. Forward contracts are agreements to buy or sell a quantity of a currency at a predetermined future date, and at a predetermined rate or price and are traded over-the-counter. The Company uses commodity futures, forwards, and option contracts to manage commodity price risk associated with diesel fuel and petroleum-based products based on its anticipated consumption of these commodities for periods of up to 24 months.
All derivatives are carried at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in the Other non-current assets or Accruals and other current liabilities line items. The carrying values of the derivatives reflect the impact of legally enforceable agreements with the same counterparties. If agreements allow the Company to net settle positive and negative positions (assets and liabilities) arising from different transactions with the same counterparty, the Company has elected to report the fair value of its derivatives on a net basis, by counterparty.
The accounting for gains and losses that result from changes in the fair values of derivative instruments depends on whether the derivatives have been designated and qualify as hedging instruments and the types of hedging relationships. Derivatives can be designated as fair value hedges, cash flow hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign operations. The changes in the fair values of derivatives that have been designated and qualify for fair value hedge accounting are recorded in the same line item in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as the changes in the fair value of the hedged items attributable to the risk being hedged. Due to the high degree of effectiveness between the hedging instruments and the underlying exposures being hedged, fluctuations in the value of the derivative instruments are generally offset by changes in the fair values or cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. The changes in fair values of derivatives that were not designated and/or did not qualify as hedging instruments are immediately recognized into earnings. The Company classifies cash inflows and outflows related to derivative and hedging instruments within the appropriate cash flows section associated with the item being hedged.
For derivatives that will be accounted for as hedging instruments, the Company formally designates and documents, at inception, the financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure, the risk management objective and the strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. In addition, the Company formally assesses, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the financial instruments used in hedging transactions are highly effective at offsetting changes in either the fair values or cash flows of the related underlying exposures.
The Company estimates the fair values of its derivatives based on quoted market prices or pricing models using current market rates. The notional amounts of the derivative financial instruments do not necessarily represent amounts exchanged by the parties and, therefore, are not a direct measure of the Company's exposure to the financial risks described above. The amounts exchanged are calculated by reference to the notional amounts and by other terms of the derivatives, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or other financial indices. The Company does not view the fair values of its derivatives in isolation, but rather in relation to the fair values or cash flows of the underlying hedged transactions. All of the Company's derivatives are over-the-counter instruments with liquid markets.
Credit Risk Associated with Derivatives
The Company has established strict counterparty credit guidelines and enters into transactions only with financial institutions of investment grade or better. The Company monitors counterparty exposures regularly and reviews promptly any downgrade in counterparty credit rating. The Company mitigates pre-settlement risk by being permitted to net settle for transactions with the same counterparty. To minimize the concentration of credit risk, the Company may enter into derivative transactions with a portfolio of financial institutions. Based on these factors, the Company considers the risk of counterparty default to be minimal.
Fair Value Hedging Strategy
In connection with the Transaction, the Company acquired foreign exchange contracts with a combined notional amount of €450.0 million and a maturity date of October 31, 2025 (the "2024 FX Forwards"). Prior to completion of the Exchange Offers, as described in Note 7 - "Debt", the derivative financial instruments were utilized to hedge the foreign exchange risk associated with the Original 3.875% Senior Notes. Following completion of the Exchange Offers, such derivative financial instruments were utilized to hedge the foreign exchange risk associated with the combined €441.9 million 3.875% Senior Notes and €8.1 million non-tendered Original 3.875% Senior Notes (collectively, the "Euro Notes").
On August 6, 2025, the Company net settled the 2024 FX Forwards and simultaneously entered into new foreign exchange contracts with a combined notional amount of €450.0 million ($527.6 million at exchange rates in effect on September 30, 2025) and a maturity date of November 1, 2027 to hedge the foreign exchange risk associated with the Euro Notes.
The Company designated the foreign exchange contracts as fair value hedges. The foreign exchange contracts are recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and changes in the fair value of the foreign exchange contracts are recorded in the same line as the hedged item, which is Other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company excludes forward points from its assessment of hedge effectiveness and amortizes them on a straight-line basis over the life of the hedging instruments in Other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations. The difference between fair value changes of the excluded component and the amount amortized to Other income, net is recorded as a component of AOCI on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following amounts were recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to hedged items as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
| ($ in millions) | September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Line Item in Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Which the Hedged Item Is Included | Carrying Amount of the Hedged Liability | |
| Long-term debt, less current portion 1 | $527.6 | $468.7 |
1 Carrying amount excludes the unamortized debt discounts as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
The fair value of the Company's derivative assets and liabilities included in Other non-current assets and Accruals and other current liabilities, respectively, as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was as follows:
| ($ in millions) | September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Derivative Contract | Assets | Liabilities | Assets | Liabilities |
| Foreign exchange contracts | $14.7 | $— | $— | $36.0 |
The amount of gains or (losses) recognized in Other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for fair value hedging relationships, presented on a pre-tax basis, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 is shown in the table below:

1 Amount is net of tax impact of $1.5 million and $2.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.
Other than the settlement of the 2024 FX Forwards described above, there were no settlements of the Company's foreign exchange contracts during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Economic (Non-Designated) Hedging Strategy
In addition to derivative instruments that have been designated and qualify for hedge accounting, the Company also uses certain derivatives as economic hedges of commodity exposure. Although these derivatives were not designated and/or did not qualify for hedge accounting, they are effective economic hedges. The changes in the fair values of economic hedges are immediately recognized in earnings.
As of September 30, 2025, the fair value of the Company's commodity forwards were short-term liabilities of $1.2 million recorded in Accruals and other current liabilities, and long-term liabilities of $0.3 million recorded in Other non-current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of the Company's commodity forwards were liabilities of $5.4 million recorded in Accruals and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The change in fair value of the commodity forwards is reflected within Other operating (income) expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Primo Brands also has an industry-leading line-up of innovative water dispensers, which create consumer connectivity through recurring water purchases.
The accounting policies of our segment have not changed from those disclosed in the Company's 2024 Annual Report.
The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") assesses performance for the segment and decides how to allocate resources based on segment net (loss) income from continuing operations that is also reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as such.
The measure of segment assets is reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as total assets. Segment capital expenditures are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as purchases of plant, property and equipment and purchases of intangible assets.
The CODM uses Net income from continuing operations to evaluate income generated from segment assets in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the segment or into other parts of the Company, such as for acquisitions or to pay dividends.
Net income from continuing operations is used to monitor budget versus actual results. The CODM also uses the Company's performance in competitive analysis by benchmarking to Primo Brands' competitors. The competitive analysis along with the monitoring of budgeted versus actual results are used in assessing performance of the segment and in establishing management’s compensation.
The Company hasone reportable segment. The segment sources, bottles and delivers water to customers in North America and manages the business activities on a consolidated basis. The Company does not assess the performance of its individual products on measures of profit or loss, or asset based metrics. Net sales by water type can be found in Note 11 - "Revenue Recognition".

NOTE 16—NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the effect of potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities consist of stock options, Performance-based RSUs, Time-based RSUs, and stock purchase rights granted under the Employee Share Purchase Plan ("ESPP"). The dilutive effect of these securities are reflected in diluted income (loss) per share by application of the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share if their effect is antidilutive.
The rights of the holders of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting, and the classes otherwise share equally in dividends and residual net assets on a per share basis. Accordingly, the net income (loss) per common share amounts are the same for Class A common stock and Class B common stock because the holders of each class are entitled to equal per-share dividends or distributions in liquidation in accordance with the Company's Certificate.
For comparative purposes, the weighted-average shares outstanding of BlueTriton have been adjusted by an implied conversion ratio of 212.2-to-1 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 to reflect the effects of the
Transaction. Reconciliations of the numerators and denominators of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share for the periods presented are as follows:
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|

NOTE 17—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company may be party to a variety of litigation, claims, legal or regulatory proceedings, inquiries, and investigations including but not limited to matters arising out of the ordinary course of business, including those related to advertising, marketing or commercial practices, personal injury and property damage, intellectual property rights, employment, tax and insurance, and matters relating to compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Responding to these matters, even those that are ultimately non-meritorious, may require the Company to incur significant expense and devote significant resources. While it is not possible to predict the ultimate resolution of these matters, management believes, based upon examination of currently available information, experience to date, and advice from legal counsel, that, after taking into account existing insurance coverage and amounts already provided for, the currently pending legal proceedings against the Company will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's consolidated statements of operations, balance sheets, or cash flows.
Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. Other than with respect to the matter described below, the Company believes there is no litigation pending that could have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated statements of operations, balance sheets or cash flows. The Company believes it has made appropriate and adequate reserves and accruals for its current contingencies and the likelihood of a material loss beyond amounts accrued is remote.
Patane Litigation
On August 15, 2017, Mark Patane and 11 other named plaintiffs (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) commenced a putative class action against Nestlé Waters North America, Inc. (“Nestlé Waters”) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut (the “Court”). Plaintiffs alleged that Poland Spring product labels fraudulently represent the product to be natural spring water. Plaintiffs have asserted claims of common law fraud, violations of certain consumer protection laws in five states (with Plaintiffs’ claims under the consumer protection laws of four of those states having been dismissed) and, for home and office customers, breach of contract. As a result of Triton Water Holdings’ acquisition of all of the equity interests of Nestlé Waters North America Holdings, Inc., along with the acquisition of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities of Nestlé
Canada Inc. from Nestlé S.A. (the “Nestlé Acquisition”), Nestlé Waters was renamed BlueTriton Brands, Inc. (“BlueTriton Brands”), and BlueTriton Brands is continuing to defend against the lawsuit.
As a result of rulings on multiple dispositive motions, the case has been narrowed in certain respects. Plaintiffs’ claims for injunctive relief have been dismissed. On December 30, 2024, the claims ofeight Plaintiffs who are members of a class in a prior class action and subject to the Final Judgment entered in Ramsey v. Nestlé Waters N.Am., Case No. 03-CHK-817 (Ill Cir. Ct. 16th Cir. Kane Cnty.), were dismissed to the extent that they rely on purchases of Poland Spring bottled water sourced from certain spring water sources raised in Ramsey. On January 6, 2025, both Plaintiffs and BlueTriton Brands moved for reconsideration of portions of the December 30, 2024 decision, which granted in part and denied in part BlueTriton Brands’ motion for summary judgment. On June 9, 2025, the Court issued an order denying the parties’ respective motions for reconsideration.
On July 9, 2025, Plaintiffs filed their motion for class certification. On July 30, 2025, BlueTriton Brands filed its opposition to Plaintiffs’ motion for class certification and its Daubert motions to preclude the opinions of plaintiffs’ damages experts. On July 31, 2025, Plaintiffs submitted a motion for an extension of time to file their reply and oppose BlueTriton Brands'Daubert motions, which was granted on August 1, 2025. Plaintiffs filed their reply in further support of their motion for class certification and their opposition to BlueTriton Brands'Daubert motions on August 20, 2025. BlueTriton Brands filed its replies in further support of its Daubert motions on September 3, 2025.
Plaintiffs seek to certifytwo classes andten derivative state subclasses separately consisting of retail customers and home and office customers.
Plaintiffs are seeking compensatory damages and/or statutory damages. For the common law fraud claims, Plaintiffs purport to compute damages by multiplying the alleged price premium that Nestlé Waters obtained from its alleged “spring water” misrepresentation by Nestlé Waters’ total dollar sales of Poland Spring still water products sold by Nestlé Waters during the class period, while statutory damages normally are determined by multiplying a statutorily established amount by the number of violations. The quantification of Plaintiffs’ recoverable damages is not reasonably determinable at this stage of the litigation. No trial date has been set. We believe that Plaintiffs’ claims are without merit, and we intend to defend ourselves vigorously. Based upon information presently known to management, the Company has not accrued a loss for the matters described above as the Company believes that a loss is not probable and reasonably estimable. While it is reasonably possible a loss may be incurred, the Company is unable to estimate a loss or range of loss in this matter.
