The following discussion and analysis is intended to help the reader understand our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. You should read this discussion in conjunction with the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and our financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report as well as the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of Ranpak Holdings Corp. (“Ranpak”, the “Company,” “we,” or “us”) included in our 2025 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 5, 2026. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meanings disclosed elsewhere in the Quarterly Report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect future plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. The forward-looking statements are dependent upon events, risks and uncertainties that may be outside of the Company’s control. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those discussed in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Overview Ranpak is a leading provider of environmentally sustainable, systems-based, product protection and end-of-line automation solutions for e-commerce and industrial supply chains. We provide our Protective Packaging Solutions (“PPS”) systems and paper consumables to distributors and certain select end-users. We operate manufacturing facilities in the United States, Europe and Asia. For our Automation product lines, we currently have dedicated facilities in Shelton, Connecticut and the Netherlands. R Squared Robotics, a division of Ranpak, uses three-dimensional computer vision and artificial intelligence technologies to improve end-of-line packaging and logistics functions. We generated net revenue of $206.4 million and $183.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We have two segments, North America and Europe/Asia. Management evaluates segment performance by net revenue and Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) by geographic region. Key Performance Indicators and Other Factors Affecting Performance We use the following key performance indicators and monitor the following other factors to analyze our business performance, determine financial forecasts, and help develop long-term strategic plans. PPS Systems Base — We closely track the number of PPS systems installed with end-users as it is a leading indicator of underlying business trends and near-term and ongoing net revenue expectations. Our installed base of PPS systems also drives our capital expenditure budgets. The following table presents our installed base of PPS systems as of June 30, 2026 and 2025: June 30, 2026 June 30, 2025 Change % Change PPS Systems (in thousands) Cushioning 33.7 34.6 (0.9) (2.6) Void-Fill 85.8 87.9 (2.1) (2.4) Wrapping 22.2 22.5 (0.3) (1.3) Total 141.7 145.0 (3.3) (2.3) Paper and Other Costs. Paper is a key component of our cost of goods sold and paper costs can fluctuate significantly between periods. We purchase both 100% virgin and 100% recycled paper, as well as blends, from various suppliers for conversion into the paper consumables we sell. The cost of paper supplies is our largest input cost, and we historically have negotiated supply and pricing arrangements with most of our paper suppliers annually, with a view towards mitigating fluctuations in paper cost. Nevertheless, as paper is a commodity, its price on the open market, and in turn the prices we negotiate with suppliers at a given point in time, can fluctuate significantly, and is affected by several factors outside of our control, including inflationary pressures, supply and demand and the cost of other commodities that are used in the manufacture of paper, including wood, energy, and chemicals. For example, energy prices in Europe have experienced recent increased volatility, and such volatility has, in the past, increased the cost of paper. The market for our solutions is competitive and it may be difficult to pass on increases in paper prices to our customers immediately, or at all, which has in the past, and could in the future, adversely affect our operating results. Although we look to pass increased market costs on to our customers to mitigate the impact of these costs, we are unable to predict the extent to which we will be able to do so. As such, we expect some continued pressure on our gross margin in fiscal 2026 relative to our historical margin profile. 23 Table of Contents Effect of Currency Fluctuations. We are a global business that generated approximately 53% of our 2025 net revenue outside of the United States. As a result of the geographic diversity of our operations, we are exposed to the effects of currency translation, which has affected the comparability of our results of operations between the periods presented in this Quarterly Report and may affect the comparability of our results of operations in future periods. Currency transaction exposure results when we generate net revenue in one currency at one time and incur expenses in another currency at another time, or when we realize gain or loss on intercompany transfers. While we seek to limit currency transaction exposure by matching the currencies in which we incur sales and expenses, we may not always be able to do so. In addition, we are subject to currency translation exposure because the operations of our subsidiaries are measured in their functional currency, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the subsidiary operates. Any currency balances that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the subsidiary are re-measured into the functional currency, with the resulting gain or loss recorded in the foreign currency (gains) losses line-item in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. In turn, subsidiary income statement balances that are denominated in currencies other than USD are translated into USD, our reporting currency, in consolidation using the average exchange rate in effect during each fiscal month during the period, with any related gain or loss recorded as foreign currency translation adjustments in other comprehensive income (loss). The assets and liabilities of subsidiaries that use functional currencies other than the USD are translated into USD in consolidation using period end exchange rates, with the effects of foreign currency translation adjustments included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We hedge some of our exposure to foreign currency translation with a cross-currency swap. Refer to Note 8 — Derivative Instruments to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional information. Significant currency fluctuations could impact the comparability of results between periods, while such fluctuations coupled with material mismatches in net revenue and expenses could also adversely impact our cash flows. See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.” Inflationary Pressures and Other Costs. We have continued to experience inflationary pressures in 2026, which have adversely impacted some of our end-users, such as automotive companies; electronic manufacturers; machinery manufacturers; e-commerce and mail order fulfillment firms; and other end-users that are particularly sensitive to reductions in business and consumer spending by their respective customers, and which in turn have impacted our net revenue. Higher costs due to inflation were partially offset by price increases, which mitigated the impact on our operating results. However, our ability to predict or further offset inflationary cost increases in the future or during economic downturns or recessions may be limited or impacted by heightened competition for market share, an unwillingness by our customers to accept price increase or pressure to reduce selling prices if end-users reduce their volume of purchases. Inflationary pressures and associated changing interest rates and borrowing costs may also impact the ability of some of our end-users and suppliers to obtain funds for operations and capital expenditures, which could negatively impact our ability to obtain necessary supplies as well as the sales of materials and equipment to affected end-users. This could also result in reduced or delayed collections of outstanding accounts receivable from end-users, which could impact our cash flows. As a result, to the extent inflationary pressures continue, we expect additional pressure on our net revenue and gross margin. We will continue to evaluate the impact of inflationary pressures on our profitability and cash flows as well as our end-users. In addition to inflationary pressures, our U.S. operations are subject to the impact of tariffs, largely related to our capital expenditures for our PPS converters, some of which are sourced from China or contain parts and components from China and other Asian countries. We are taking steps to minimize the potential impact of these tariffs by evaluating alternative parts and global suppliers as well as stepping up our efforts to refabricate and refurbish existing machines in our fleet to reduce cost. Our box customization equipment is currently made in Europe and shipped to the United States and thus are subject to U.S. tariffs on European goods. We are focused on cost reduction and efficiencies to minimize the impact to our customers, and believe in the ongoing value proposition of our equipment. We have experienced and expect to continue to experience headwinds from the recent U.S.-Iran hostilities which have resulted in increased energy prices globally. The market for our solutions is competitive and it may be difficult to pass on increases in paper prices to our customers immediately, or at all, which has in the past, and could in the future, adversely affect our operating results. Although we look to pass increased market costs on to our customers to mitigate the impact of these costs, we are unable to predict the extent to which we will be able to do so. As such, there could be continued pressure on our gross margin in our results for fiscal 2026 relative to our historical margin profile. Seasonality. We estimate that over a third of our net revenue in 2025, either directly or to distributors, was destined for end-users in the e-commerce sectors, whose businesses frequently follow traditional retail seasonal trends, including a concentration of sales in the holiday period in the fourth quarter. Our results tend to follow similar patterns, with the highest net revenue typically recorded in our fourth fiscal quarter and the slowest sales in our first fiscal quarter of each fiscal year. We expect this seasonality to continue in the future and, as a result, our results of operations between fiscal quarters in a given year may not be directly comparable. 24 Table of Contents Non-GAAP Measures EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (“AEBITDA”) Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We also present EBITDA and AEBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures, because they are key measures used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short- and long-term operational plans. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating EBITDA and AEBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our primary business operations. We believe that EBITDA and AEBITDA provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude: (benefit from) provision for income taxes; interest expense; and depreciation and amortization. AEBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude: (benefit from) provision for income taxes; interest expense; depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation expense; foreign currency (gain) loss; amortization of cloud-based software implementation costs; and, in certain periods, other income and expense items. We reconcile this data to our GAAP data for the same periods presented. Constant Currency We operate globally, and a substantial portion of our net revenue and operations is denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Euro. We calculate the year-over-year impact of foreign currency movements using prior period foreign currency rates applied to current year results. These “constant currency” change amounts are non-GAAP measures and are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, constant currency change measures are not based on any established set of accounting rules or principles. In calculating the Constant Currency (Non-GAAP) % Change, the current year is translated at the average exchange rate for the comparable prior year period, when comparing the current year to the prior year. We believe that our Constant Currency (Non-GAAP) % Change presentation provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. Cautionary Notice Regarding Non-GAAP Measures Non-GAAP measures, such as EBITDA, AEBITDA, and constant currency change, have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. In particular, non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed as substitutes for, or superior to, net income (loss) prepared in accordance with GAAP as a measure of profitability or liquidity. Some of these limitations are: •although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and AEBITDA do not reflect all cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; •EBITDA and AEBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; •EBITDA and AEBITDA do not reflect the impact of the recording or release of valuation allowances or tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; •AEBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation, and in certain periods, other income and expense items, such as restructuring and integration costs; •constant currency change measures exclude the foreign currency exchange rate impact on our foreign operations; and •other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate EBITDA, AEBITDA, and constant currency change differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures. Consolidated Results of Operations The following tables set forth our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, presented in millions of dollars. “NM” represents “not meaningful.” In addition, in our discussion below, we include certain other unaudited, non-GAAP data and Constant Currency (Non-GAAP) % Change data for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. This data is based on our historical financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Refer to “Non-GAAP Measures” and “Reconciliation of GAAP to 25 Table of Contents Non-GAAP Measures” for additional information and a reconciliation of EBITDA and AEBITDA to our net loss under GAAP. Comparison of Second Quarter of 2026 to Second Quarter of 2025 Three Months Ended June 30, Constant Currency (Non-GAAP) % Change (1) 2026 2025 $ Change % Change Net revenue $ 105.2 $ 92.3 $ 12.9 14.0 12.2 Cost of sales 70.7 63.4 7.3 11.5 9.8 Gross profit 34.5 28.9 5.6 19.4 17.6 Selling, general and administrative expenses 27.6 28.8 (1.2) (4.2) Depreciation and amortization expense 8.6 8.8 (0.2) (2.3) Other operating expense, net 0.7 1.0 (0.3) (30.0) Loss from operations (2.4) (9.7) 7.3 (75.3) Interest expense 8.1 8.3 (0.2) (2.4) Foreign currency loss (gain) 0.2 (2.6) 2.8 NM Other non-operating expense (income), net 0.1 (5.9) 6.0 NM Loss before income tax benefit (10.8) (9.5) (1.3) 13.7 Income tax benefit (2.9) (2.0) (0.9) 45.0 Net loss $ (7.9) $ (7.5) $ (0.4) 5.3 5.3 Non-GAAP EBITDA $ 13.1 $ 15.6 $ (2.5) (16.0) (16.7) AEBITDA $ 19.1 $ 16.5 $ 2.6 15.8 13.9 (1) The Constant Currency (Non-GAAP) % Change excludes the impact of foreign currency translation effects when comparing current results to the prior year. In calculating the Constant Currency (Non-GAAP) % Change, the current year results are translated at the average exchange rate for the comparable prior year period, which in this case was 1 Euro to 1.1323 USD. Refer to further discussion in "Non-GAAP Measures." Net Revenue The following table and the discussion that follows compares our net revenue by product line for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 on a GAAP basis and also presents the Constant Currency (Non-GAAP) % Change. Refer to “Non-GAAP Measures” for further details: Three Months Ended June 30, Constant Currency (Non-GAAP) % Change (1) 2026 2025 $ Change % Change Cushioning $ 35.1 $ 36.8 $ (1.7) (4.6) (6.5) Void-Fill 44.8 41.1 3.7 9.0 7.8 Wrapping 8.7 7.3 1.4 19.2 17.8 Automation 16.6 7.1 9.5 133.8 129.6 Net revenue $ 105.2 $ 92.3 $ 12.9 14.0 12.2 (1) The Constant Currency (Non-GAAP) % Change excludes the impact of foreign currency translation effects when comparing current results to the prior year. In calculating the Constant Currency (Non-GAAP) % Change, the current year results are translated at the average exchange rate for the comparable prior year period, which in this case was 1 Euro to 1.1323 USD. Refer to further discussion in "Non-GAAP Measures." Net revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was $105.2 million compared to $92.3 million for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $12.9 million or 14.0% (12.2% on a constant currency basis) and includes a non-cash reduction of $1.0 million to void-fill and $0.7 million to automation net revenue from the provision for warrants in the current period. Net revenue for the second quarter of 2025 includes a non-cash reduction of $1.2 million to void-fill from the provision for warrants. Net revenue was positively impacted by increases in automation equipment sales, void-fill, and wrapping, partially offset by a decrease in cushioning. Automation net revenue increased $9.5 million, or 133.8% to $16.6 million 26 Table of Contents from $7.1 million; void-fill increased $3.7 million, or 9.0%, to $44.8 million from $41.1 million; wrapping increased $1.4 million, or 19.2%, to $8.7 million from $7.3 million; and cushioning decreased $1.7 million, or 4.6%, to $35.1 million from $36.8 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025. The increase in net revenue for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025 is quantified by a 10.0% increase in automation equipment sales, a 2.4% increase in the volume of sales of our paper consumable products, a 1.8% increase from foreign currency fluctuations, and a 0.2% increase in the price or mix of our paper consumable products, partially offset by a 0.4% impact from an increase in the non-cash provision for warrants. Cost of Sales Cost of sales for the second quarter of 2026 totaled $70.7 million, an increase of $7.3 million, or 11.5% (9.8% on a constant currency basis), compared to $63.4 million in the second quarter of 2025. We have quantified the change in cost of sales as follows: Volume/product mix 11.3 % Production costs (1.5) % Foreign currency impacts 1.7 % Total 11.5 % The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to an increase in the volume/mix of products sold of 11.3% and fluctuations in foreign currency rates of 1.7%, partially offset by a decrease in production costs of 1.5% compared to the second quarter of 2025. The 11.3% change in volume/mix is primarily attributable to an increase in automation equipment sales, which drove a 9.4% increase in cost of sales. Production costs include costs from materials, labor and overhead, and depreciation expense. Operating expenses Selling, General, and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses. SG&A expenses for the second quarter of 2026 were $27.6 million, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 4.2%, from $28.8 million in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to a $0.8 million decrease in facility costs and a $0.7 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025. Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense for the second quarter of 2026 was $8.6 million, a decrease of $0.2 million from $8.8 million in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to a decrease in amortization of finance leases, partially offset by an increase in depreciation of machinery and equipment for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025. Other Operating Expense, Net. Other operating expense, net for the second quarter of 2026 was $0.7 million, a decrease of $0.3 million from $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a $0.5 million gain on the sublease of equipment classified as finance leases, partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in research and development expense for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025. Interest Expense Interest expense for the second quarter of 2026 was $8.1 million, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 2.4%, from $8.3 million in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in interest expense associated with our Term Facility in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025. Foreign Currency Loss (Gain) Foreign currency loss for the second quarter of 2026 was $0.2 million, a change of $2.8 million, from foreign currency gain of $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2025 due to the volatility in Euro exchange rates compared to USD. Other Non-Operating Expense (Income), Net Other non-operating expense, net for the second quarter of 2026 was $0.1 million, a change of $6.0 million, from other non-operating income of $5.9 million in the second quarter of 2025 primarily due to a $5.8 million unrealized gain on our strategic investment in Pickle that did not recur in the second quarter of 2026. Income Tax Benefit Income tax benefit for the second quarter of 2026 was $2.9 million, or an effective tax rate of 26.9%. Income tax benefit was $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2025, or an effective tax rate of 21.5%. The fluctuation in the effective tax rate between periods is primarily attributable to taxes related to foreign activities and the impact from stock-based 27 Table of Contents compensation for the same period in 2025. The difference between the effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2026 and the combined federal and state statutory rates is primarily due to international and state income benefits. EBITDA and AEBITDA EBITDA and AEBITDA are non-GAAP measures. Refer to “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures.” EBITDA for the second quarter of 2026 was $13.1 million, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 16.0%, compared to $15.6 million in the second quarter of 2025. AEBITDA for the second quarter of 2026 was $19.1 million, an increase of $2.6 million, or 15.8% (13.9% on a constant currency basis), compared to $16.5 million in the second quarter of 2025. AEBITDA for the second quarter of 2026 includes a non-cash reduction to net revenue from the provision for warrants of $1.7 million compared to $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2025. Segment Results of Operations - Second Quarter of 2026 and Second Quarter of 2025 We have two segments, North America and Europe/Asia. Management evaluates segment performance by net revenue and EBITDA by geographic region. The following tables set forth our net revenue by segment for the second quarter of 2026 and the second quarter of 2025, presented in millions of dollars: North America Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 $ Change % Change Cushioning $ 9.5 $ 11.3 $ (1.8) (15.9) Void-Fill 26.8 25.2 1.6 6.3 Wrapping 4.3 4.1 0.2 4.9 Automation 5.3 1.7 3.6 211.8 Net revenue $ 45.9 $ 42.3 $ 3.6 8.5 Net revenue in North America for the second quarter of 2026 totaled $45.9 million compared to $42.3 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase of $3.6 million, or 8.5%, for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025 was attributable to increases in automation equipment sales, void-fill, and wrapping, partially offset by a decrease in cushioning, and includes a non-cash reduction of $0.9 million in void-fill and $0.7 million in automation net revenue from the provision for warrants. Net revenue in North America for the second quarter of 2025 includes a non-cash reduction of $1.1 million to void-fill from the provision for warrants. The increase in net revenue for North America can be quantified by an 8.5% increase from automation equipment sales and a 1.9% increase in the price/mix of our paper consumable products, partially offset by a 1.2% impact from an increase in the non-cash provision for warrants and a 0.7% decrease in the volume of sales of our paper consumable products. Europe/Asia Constant Currency (Non-GAAP) % Change (1) Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 $ Change % Change Cushioning $ 25.6 $ 25.5 $ 0.1 0.4 (2.4) Void-Fill 18.0 15.9 2.1 13.2 10.1 Wrapping 4.4 3.2 1.2 37.5 34.4 Automation 11.3 5.4 5.9 109.3 103.7 Net revenue $ 59.3 $ 50.0 $ 9.3 18.6 15.4 (1) The Constant Currency (Non-GAAP) % Change excludes the impact of foreign currency translation effects when comparing current results to the prior year. In calculating the Constant Currency (Non-GAAP) % Change, the current year results are translated at the average exchange rate for the comparable prior year period, which in this case was 1 Euro to 1.1323 USD. Refer to further discussion in "Non-GAAP Measures." Net revenue in Europe/Asia for the second quarter of 2026 totaled $59.3 million compared to net revenue of $50.0 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase of $9.3 million, or 18.6% (15.4% on a constant currency basis), for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025 was attributable to increases in automation equipment sales, void-fill, and wrapping sales. The increase in cushioning was primarily driven by favorable foreign currency fluctuations. The increase in net revenue for Europe/Asia can be quantified by an 11.2% increase from automation equipment sales, a 4.2% increase in volume of sales of our paper consumable products, and a 3.2% increase due to foreign currency fluctuations. 28 Table of Contents The following table sets forth segment EBITDA, presented in millions of dollars: Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 $ Change % Change North America $ 6.6 $ 3.1 $ 3.5 112.9 Europe/Asia $ 6.5 $ 12.5 $ (6.0) (48.0) North America and Europe/Asia segment EBITDA includes intersegment royalty charges from North America to Europe/Asia for use of trademarks of $4.9 million and $7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which eliminates on a consolidated basis. Segment EBITDA for North America was $6.6 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $3.1 million in the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $3.5 million, or 112.9%. The increase was primarily due to increased net revenue as described above and an increase in foreign currency gain of $9.3 million. The increase was partially offset by a $2.7 million decrease in intersegment royalty charges and a $5.8 million unrealized gain on our strategic investment in Pickle in the second quarter of 2025 that did not recur in the second quarter of 2026. Segment EBITDA for Europe/Asia was $6.5 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $12.5 million in the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of $6.0 million, or 48.0%. The decrease was primarily due to the foreign currency loss of $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the foreign currency gain of $11.4 million for the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was partially offset by the increased net revenue as described above and a $2.7 million decrease in intersegment royalty charges for the three months ended June 30, 2026.

See also “Non-GAAP Measures” for further details: Six Months Ended June 30, Constant Currency (Non-GAAP) % Change (1) 2026 2025 $ Change % Change Cushioning $ 71.7 $ 72.0 $ (0.3) (0.4) (5.1) Void-Fill 86.7 81.4 $ 5.3 6.5 3.7 Wrapping 18.0 16.7 $ 1.3 7.8 4.2 Automation 30.0 13.4 $ 16.6 123.9 114.9 Net revenue $ 206.4 $ 183.5 $ 22.9 12.5 8.4 (1) The Constant Currency (Non-GAAP) % Change excludes the impact of foreign currency translation effects when comparing current results to the prior year. In calculating the Constant Currency (Non-GAAP) % Change, the current year results are translated at the average exchange rate for the comparable prior year period, which in this case was 1 Euro to 1.0919 USD. Refer to further discussion in "Non-GAAP Measures." Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $206.4 million compared to $183.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $22.9 million or 12.5% (8.4% on a constant currency basis) and includes a non-cash reduction of $1.9 million to void-fill and $1.5 million to automation net revenue from the provision for warrants. Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 includes a non-cash reduction of $2.0 million to void-fill from the provision for warrants. Net revenue was positively impacted by increases in automation equipment sales, void-fill and wrapping, partially offset by a decrease in cushioning. Automation net revenue increased $16.6 million or 123.9% to $30.0 30 Table of Contents million from $13.4 million; void-fill increased $5.3 million, or 6.5%, to $86.7 million from $81.4 million; wrapping increased $1.3 million, or 7.8%, to $18.0 million from $16.7 million; and cushioning decreased $0.3 million, or 0.4%, to $71.7 million from $72.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 is quantified by an 8.4% increase in automation equipment sales, a 4.1% increase from foreign currency fluctuations, and a 1.6% increase in the volume of sales of our paper consumable products, partially offset by a 0.9% decrease in the price/mix of our paper consumable products and a 0.7% impact from an increase in the non-cash provision for warrants. Cost of Sales Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2026 totaled $137.0 million, an increase of $13.3 million, or 10.8% (7.0% on a constant currency basis), compared to $123.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. We have quantified the change in cost of sales as follows: Volume/product mix 9.6 % Production costs (2.6) % Foreign currency impacts 3.8 % Total 10.8 % The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to an increase in the volume/mix of products sold of 9.6% and fluctuations in foreign currency rates of 3.8%, partially offset by a decrease in production costs of 2.6% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The 9.6% change in volume/mix is primarily attributable to an increase in automation equipment sales, which drove an 8.3% increase in cost of sales. Production costs include costs from materials, labor and overhead, and depreciation expense. Operating expenses Selling, General, and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses. SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $56.8 million, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 1.6%, from $57.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. The net change in SG&A expenses includes a $1.7 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense and a $1.6 million decrease in facility costs, partially offset by a $2.5 million increase in compensation expense. These changes are inclusive of a $1.8 million unfavorable impact from foreign currency fluctuations. Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $17.6 million, a decrease of $0.2 million from $17.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to a decrease in amortization of finance leases, partially offset by an increase in depreciation of machinery and equipment for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. Other Operating Expense, Net. Other operating expense, net for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $1.2 million, a decrease of $0.8 million from $2.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a $0.5 million gain on the sublease of equipment classified as finance leases for the six months ended June 30, 2026, with no comparable gain in the six months ended June 30, 2025. Interest Expense Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $16.7 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 1.8%, from $17.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in interest expense associated with our Term Facility for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. Foreign Currency Loss (Gain) Foreign currency loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $1.5 million, a change of $6.7 million, from foreign currency gain of $5.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 due to the volatility in Euro exchange rates compared to USD. Other Non-Operating Expense (Income), Net Other non-operating expense, net for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $0.1 million compared to other non-operating income, net of $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Other non-operating income, net for the six 31 Table of Contents months ended June 30, 2025 included a $5.8 million unrealized gain on our strategic investment in Pickle that did not recur for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Income Tax Benefit Income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $6.4 million, or an effective tax rate of 26.1%. Income tax benefit was $5.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, or an effective tax rate of 22.2%. The fluctuation in the effective tax rate between periods is primarily attributable to state income benefits, benefits related to foreign activities and tax impact related to a stock-based compensation shortfall and windfall for the same periods in 2026 and 2025, respectively. The difference between the effective tax rate and the combined federal and state statutory rates is primarily due to international and state income benefits. EBITDA and AEBITDA EBITDA and AEBITDA are non-GAAP measures. Refer to “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures.” EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $24.8 million, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 2.0%, compared to $25.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. AEBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $38.0 million, an increase of $4.2 million, or 12.4% (6.2% on a constant currency basis), compared to $33.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. AEBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2026 includes a non-cash reduction to net revenue from the provision for warrants of $3.4 million compared to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Segment Results of Operations - Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 The following tables set forth our net revenue by segment for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and the six months ended June 30, 2025, presented in millions of dollars: North America Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 $ Change % Change Cushioning $ 19.2 $ 21.8 $ (2.6) (11.9) Void-Fill 50.6 49.6 1.0 2.0 Wrapping 9.0 9.7 (0.7) (7.2) Automation 9.6 3.8 5.8 152.6 Net revenue $ 88.4 $ 84.9 $ 3.5 4.1 Net revenue in North America for the six months ended June 30, 2026 totaled $88.4 million compared to $84.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase of $3.5 million, or 4.1%, was attributable to increases in automation equipment sales and void-fill, partially offset by decreases in cushioning and wrapping, and includes a non-cash reduction of $1.7 million in void-fill and $1.5 million in automation net revenue from the provision for warrants. Net revenue in North America for the six months ended June 30, 2025 includes a non-cash reduction of $1.9 million in void-fill from the provision for warrants. The increase in net revenue for North America can be quantified by a 6.8% increase from automation equipment sales and a 1.0% increase in the price/mix of our paper consumable products, partially offset by a 2.2% decrease in volume of sales of our paper consumable products and a 1.5% impact from an increase in the non-cash provision for warrants.

In calculating the Constant Currency (Non-GAAP) % Change, the current year results are translated at the average exchange rate for the comparable prior year period, which in this case was 1 Euro to 1.0919 USD. Refer to further discussion in "Non-GAAP Measures." Net revenue in Europe/Asia for the six months ended June 30, 2026 totaled $118.0 million compared to net revenue of 32 Table of Contents $98.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase of $19.4 million, or 19.7% (12.1% on a constant currency basis), was attributable to increases in automation equipment sales, void-fill, and wrapping sales. The increase in cushioning was primarily driven by favorable foreign currency fluctuations. The increase in net revenue for Europe/Asia can be quantified by a 9.7% increase from automation equipment sales, a 7.6% increase due to foreign currency fluctuations, and a 3.8% increase in the volume of sales of our paper consumable products, partially offset by a 1.4% decrease in the price/mix of our paper consumable products. The following table sets forth segment EBITDA, presented in millions of dollars: Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 $ Change % Change North America $ 13.4 $ 8.1 $ 5.3 65.4 Europe/Asia $ 11.4 $ 17.2 $ (5.8) (33.7) North America and Europe/Asia segment EBITDA includes intersegment royalty charges from North America to Europe/Asia for use of trademarks of $9.9 million and $12.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which eliminates on a consolidated basis. Segment EBITDA for North America was $13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $8.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $5.3 million, or 65.4%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in net revenue as described above and an increase in foreign currency gain of $9.7 million. The increase was partially offset by a $2.9 million decrease in intersegment royalty charges and a $5.8 million unrealized gain on our strategic investment in Pickle during the six months ended June 30, 2025 that did not recur for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Segment EBITDA for Europe/Asia was $11.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $17.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $5.8 million, or 33.7%. The decrease was primarily due to the foreign currency loss of $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the foreign currency gain of $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was partially offset by the increase in net revenue as described above. Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures As noted above, we believe that in order to better understand the performance of the Company, providing non-GAAP financial measures to users of our financial information is helpful. We believe presentation of these non-GAAP measures is useful because they are many of the key measures that allow management to evaluate more effectively our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period and against peers without regard to financing methods or capital structure. Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to similar financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The computations of EBITDA, AEBITDA and Constant Currency (Non-GAAP) % Change may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, measures of financial performance as determined in accordance with GAAP or as indicators of operating performance. 33 Table of Contents The following table and related notes reconcile certain non-GAAP measures to GAAP information presented in this Quarterly Report for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025: Three Months Ended June 30, Constant Currency (Non-GAAP) % Change (6) 2026 2025 $ Change % Change Net loss $ (7.9) $ (7.5) $ (0.4) 5.3 5.3 Depreciation and amortization expense – COS 7.2 8.0 (0.8) (10.0) Depreciation and amortization expense – D&A 8.6 8.8 (0.2) (2.3) Interest expense 8.1 8.3 (0.2) (2.4) Income tax benefit (2.9) (2.0) (0.9) 45.0 EBITDA(1) 13.1 15.6 (2.5) (16.0) (16.7) Adjustments(2): Foreign currency loss (gain) 0.2 (2.6) 2.8 NM Non-cash impairment losses — 0.2 (0.2) NM M&A, restructuring, severance 3.0 3.6 (0.6) (16.7) Stock-based compensation expense 1.2 2.0 (0.8) (40.0) Amortization of cloud-based software implementation costs(3) 1.1 1.0 0.1 10.0 Cloud-based software implementation costs(4) 0.3 0.8 (0.5) (62.5) SOX remediation costs — 0.3 (0.3) NM Unrealized gain on strategic investments — (5.8) 5.8 NM Other adjustments(5) 0.2 1.4 (1.2) (85.7) AEBITDA(1) $ 19.1 $ 16.5 $ 2.6 15.8 13.9 (see subsequent footnotes) (1)Reconciliations of EBITDA and AEBITDA for each period presented are to net loss, the nearest GAAP equivalent.

Refer to further discussion in “Non-GAAP Measures.” Liquidity and Capital Resources We evaluate liquidity in terms of cash flows from operations and other sources and the sufficiency of such cash flows to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. We believe that our $43.2 million in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2026 and cash flow from operations, together with borrowing capacity under the revolving portion of our senior secured credit facilities, will provide us with sufficient resources to cover our current requirements. Our main liquidity needs relate to capital expenditures and expenses for the production and maintenance of PPS systems placed at end-user facilities, working capital, including the purchase of paper raw materials, and payments of principal and interest on our outstanding debt. Our Automated Paper Solutions (“APS”) and Automated Solutions (“AS”) (collectively, “Automation”) product lines are for the sale of capital goods and we do not require significant capital expenditures for production equipment to support growth. We expect our capital expenditures to increase as we continue to grow our business, expand our manufacturing footprint, and upgrade our existing systems and facilities. We continue to evaluate our inventory requirements and adjust according to our volume forecasts. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of 35 Table of Contents available funds will depend on many factors, and if we are unable to obtain needed additional funds, we may have to reduce our operating costs or incur additional debt, which could impair our growth prospects and/or otherwise negatively impact our business. Further, volatility in the equity and credit markets from macroeconomic factors could make obtaining new equity or debt financing more difficult or expensive. Debt Profile The material terms of our debt, which principally consists of senior secured credit facilities of a $410.0 million USD-denominated first lien term facility (the “Term Facility”) and a $50.0 million revolving credit facility available in USD and Euros (“Revolving Facility” and together with the Term Facility, the “Facilities”), are summarized in Note 7 — Long-Term Debt to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Including finance lease liabilities and financing arrangements and excluding deferred financing costs, we had $410.6 million in debt, $6.8 million of which was classified as short-term, as of June 30, 2026, compared to $410.5 million in debt, $5.5 million of which was classified as short-term, as of December 31, 2025. At June 30, 2026, we did not have amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility, and we had no borrowings under such facility through July 30, 2026. The Revolving Facility includes borrowing capacity available for standby letters of credit of up to $50.0 million. Any issuance of letters of credit will reduce the amount available under the Revolving Facility. As of June 30, 2026, we had $2.8 million committed to outstanding letters of credit, leaving net availability of $47.2 million under the Revolving Facility. The Facilities are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. No mandatory prepayments were required under our Facilities as of June 30, 2026, and the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants. Cash Flows The following table sets forth our summary cash flow information for the periods indicated: Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities $ 7.1 $ (4.9) Net cash used in investing activities (24.9) (19.8) Net cash used in financing activities (1.1) (4.9) Effect of Exchange Rate Changes on Cash and Cash Equivalents (0.9) 2.7 Net Decrease in Cash and Cash Equivalents (19.8) (26.9) Cash and Cash Equivalents, beginning of period 63.0 76.1 Cash and Cash Equivalents, end of period $ 43.2 $ 49.2 Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities was $7.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026. Net cash used in operating activities was $4.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. The changes in operating cash flows are largely due to a decrease in the purchase of inventory compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, which included a significant inventory build that did not recur in the current period. This was partially offset by less favorable changes in accounts payable and accounts receivable. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025 also included a $5.8 million unrealized gain on our strategic investment in Pickle that did not recur for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and foreign currency loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to foreign currency gains for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities Net cash used in investing activities was $24.9 million and $19.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and reflects cash used for production of converter equipment and purchases of machinery and equipment. Net cash used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2026 also included $10.0 million in cash paid for the Pickle SAFE note. Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities Net cash used in financing activities was $1.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026 and reflects proceeds from our financing arrangements, partially offset by principal payments on our term loans, payments on financing arrangements, payments on finance lease liabilities, and other financing activities, net. Net cash used in financing activities was $4.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and reflects principal payments on our term loans, payments on finance lease liabilities, payments on our equipment financing arrangement, and other financing activities, net. 36 Table of Contents Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments We have cash obligations under our financing arrangements, which are primarily related to our Term Facility, and under our leases for facilities, automobiles and equipment, which are described in more detail in Note 7 — Long-Term Debt and Note 12 — Leases in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We have various contractual obligations and commercial commitments that are recorded as liabilities in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2026. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which often requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to those disclosed in our 2025 10-K. Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements For recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
