“I’m extremely proud of our team for delivering strong results throughout the year while making significant progress on all of our initiatives to unlock shareholder value,” said Gerry Smith, chief executive officer of The ODP Corporation. “We delivered solid operating performance in 2021 against a macroeconomic backdrop challenged by supply chain constraints, inflation, and a slower pace of back-to-office trends, as we leveraged our pricing flexibility and the strength of our distribution network to help offset some of these market dynamics. Our commitment to our low cost model approach and the flexibility of our supply chain and distribution assets helped us deliver over $300 million in adjusted operating income and generate strong free cash flow results.”

“We’ve executed well upon all of our strategic initiatives that focus on generating greater shareholder value. Over the past year, we have used the flexibility afforded by our holding company structure to align our assets with the go-to-market strategies in our B2C, B2B, distribution, and digital platform businesses. We separated many of the operational components of our business and enhanced our focus on our core capabilities, including through the sale of CompuCom. Additionally, we advanced our new digital platform business, Varis, and remain very encouraged about our early progress. Also, as part of our overall capital structure and in support of our efforts to enhance return for shareholders, we’ve repaid approximately $100 million of near term maturity Industrial Revenue Bonds and committed over $300 million in the form of share buybacks,” he added.

“Moving forward, we’re committed to unlocking the value of our consumer business and driving growth in our B2B distribution and digital platform businesses. We remain focused on regaining momentum in our enterprise channel as more companies return to the office and as we work to mitigate the ongoing supply chain and inflation challenges. We expect 2022 to be a transformative year in the development of Varis, as we continue to invest in its capabilities, grow customer and supplier relationships, and launch the beta version of the platform with key partners, positioning us to drive future value in the large and growing business commerce market,” Smith concluded.
