Dear Ms. Hooker and Ms. McConnell:
This letter sets forth the response
of Ranpak Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) to the comments provided by the staff (the “Staff”) of the Division
of Corporation Finance of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in your letter dated December 19,
2024, relating to the Company’s Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2023, filed on March 14, 2024 (the “Form 10-K”)
and the Company’s Form 8-K, filed on March 11, 2024 (the “Form 8-K”). For the Staff’s convenience, the Staff’s
comments are restated in italics prior to each of the Company’s responses.
Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December
31, 2023
Item 7. Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, page 30
1. Your discussion of changes in cost
of goods sold cites multiple factors as impacting your results of operations but provides
no quantification of the contribution of each factor. Where one or more factors contribute
to material changes in operating results, please revise future filings to describe and explain
the underlying reasons for the changes in quantitative and qualitative terms. Refer to the
guidance in Item 303(b) of Regulation S-K.
The
Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment, and in response, undertakes in future filings and other disclosures, beginning in its
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, to include an appropriate level of analysis and explanations in quantitative and qualitative
terms for those factors that contribute to material changes in operating results. The following is the proposed form of such revised
disclosure for 2023, as the Company intends to present the information in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024:
Cost of goods sold for 2023 totaled
$213.0 million, a decrease of $13.9 million, or 6.1%, compared to $226.9 million in 2022. We have quantified the change in cost of goods
sold as follows:
Volume/product mix
0.4 %
Production costs
(7.8) %
Foreign currency impacts
1.3 %
Total
(6.1) %
The decrease in cost of goods sold was
primarily related to lower production costs due to lower material costs, partially offset by higher labor and overhead costs. Production
costs include costs from materials, labor and overhead.
Presentation and Reconciliation of
GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures, page 33
2. We note your non-GAAP adjustments
for "cloud-based software implementation costs", "SOX remediation costs",
and other. Please describe to us, in greater detail, the specific nature of each adjustment
and explain how you determined it is appropriate based on the guidance in Question 100.01
of the Division of Corporation Finance's Compliance & Disclosure Interpretations on Non-GAAP
Financial Measures since it appears the adjustments may represent normal operating expenses
related to your business. This comment is also applicable to disclosures in Earnings Releases
filed under Form 8-K.
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s
comment and advises the Staff that the Company has considered the guidance set forth in Question 100.01 of the Division of Corporation
Finance’s Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations on Non-GAAP Financial Measures. The Company believes that the expenses reflected
in the non-GAAP adjustments for “cloud-based software implementation costs,” “SOX remediation costs,” and “Other”
included in the Form 10-K and Form 8-K are expenses that are not typical of normal expenses that the Company incurs in respect of its
ongoing operations and, as such, investors would find it useful to see non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA (“AEBITDA”) adjusted for
such atypical, non-operating expenses. The Company’s management believes including these expenses as a non-GAAP adjustment in its
non-GAAP AEBITDA presentation provides additional information to investors about trends in the Company’s operations and is useful
for period-over-period comparisons. It also allows investors to view the Company’s underlying operating results in the same manner
as they are viewed by management.
Cloud-based Software Implementation
Costs Non-GAAP Adjustments
As disclosed in the Form 10-K and the
Company’s other filings with the Commission, the Company implemented SAP, an enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system
in 2022. The Company advises the Staff that, in addition to the ERP system implementation, the Company implemented a suite of other systems,
including a global payroll and human resource system, automated financial close workflow and management system, integrated data fabric
and analytic tools, and a customer resource management system. These implementations, in particular the implementation of the ERP system,
represented a significant undertaking for the Company in an attempt to modernize and transform the Company’s manufacturing processes,
order processing, deliveries, customer support, contract fulfillment, inventory management and accounting and other operations, allowing
the Company to better manage the business. The overall undertaking was highly complex and required financial and managerial resources
to an extent not previously encountered by the Company and not typical of the resources required by the Company’s ongoing operations.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company
advises the Staff that it incurred significant issues and incremental costs related to the implementation of these systems, and that
it has included such expenses in its AEBITDA presentation only for the non-recurring third-party professional services and consulting
fees related to post-implementation issues experienced by the Company. A particularly significant example of the challenges the Company
encountered post-implementation was the inability to initiate, monitor, and complete shipments of products through the systems after
launch. Due to the extent and pervasiveness of these issues, the costs required to remedy the systems continued through 2023 and 2024.
As these expenses are unrelated to the normal operations and revenue-generating activity of the Company, but specific to the one-time
transformational cloud-based software implementation, the Company does not believe that it is inappropriate to show such expenses as
a non-GAAP adjustment in its non-GAAP AEBITDA presentation, the stated purpose of which is to provide investors with an understanding
of the AEBITDA related to the Company’s revenue-generating activities while enhancing the comparability of the measure in future
periods. The implementation of these systems has largely been completed as of the end of fiscal 2024, and the Company does not expect
to report further non-GAAP adjustments related to cloud-based software implementation costs following the first half of 2025.
The Company further advises the Staff
that it does not adjust for expenses that it would consider to be necessary and a normal part of its operations and revenue-generating
activities, such as permanent employee salaries and ongoing training costs and other direct and indirect costs required to operate and
maintain its systems, including the ERP system, which are more indicative of an ongoing cost of doing business.
2
SOX Remediation Costs Non-GAAP Adjustments
As initially disclosed in the Company’s
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, management identified several material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting related to ineffective general information technology controls (“GITCs”). In particular, management
determined that the automated process-level controls and manual controls were not effectively designed, implemented, or operated, which
was primarily attributable to the significant system challenges discussed in our response to your question regarding the ‘Cloud-Based
Software Implementation’ adjustments. As previously disclosed, the Company has taken steps during 2023 and 2024 to remediate such
material weaknesses and has incurred significant incremental third party professional services and consulting fees related to these efforts.
As these expenses are unrelated to the normal operations and revenue-generating activity of the Company, but specific to the discrete
project to remediate material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting, the Company does not believe that it is inappropriate
to show such expenses as a non-GAAP adjustment in its AEBITDA presentation, the stated purpose of which is to provide investors with
an understanding of the AEBITDA related to the Company’s revenue-generating activities while enhancing the comparability of the
measure in future periods. The Company does not expect to report further non-GAAP adjustments related to remediation of these items after
the first quarter of 2025.
The Company further advises the Staff
that it does not adjust for expenses that it would consider to be necessary and a normal part of its operations and revenue-generating
activities, such as expenses associated with maintaining its existing control environment or for ongoing compliance monitoring related
to the Company’s controls, which are more indicative of an ongoing cost of doing business.
Other Non-GAAP Adjustments
In 2023, other non-GAAP adjustments
of $2.5 million included in the Company’s presentation of AEBITDA are largely comprised of $1.6 million in legal expenses and fees,
which were primarily related to the Company’s recently settled patent litigation. This patent litigation occurred over a multi-year
period and related to an unusual set of claims by the Company alleging infringement by a specific competitor of one of the Company’s
patented machine features, and, as such, does not represent the ongoing or recurring legal expenses of the Company. Although these costs
continued through the third quarter of 2024, these costs are not expected to reoccur during the fourth quarter of 2024 or in 2025 as
the Company entered into a settlement agreement on such matter during the second quarter of 2024. The Company further notes that the
related gain on the settlement of this litigation was also included as a non-GAAP adjustment in the second quarter of 2024. The remaining
$0.9 million of other non-GAAP adjustments is comprised of individually insignificant items.
As these expenses and the related gain
are unrelated to the normal operations and revenue-generating activity of the Company, but transitory and not operational in nature,
the Company does not believe that it is inappropriate to show such expenses as a non-GAAP adjustment in its AEBITDA presentation, the
stated purpose of which is to provide investors with an understanding of AEBITDA related to the Company’s revenue generating activities,
while enhancing the comparability of the measure in future periods. The Company advises the Staff that it intends to revise its future
disclosures to describe, in greater detail, the specific nature of “other” expenses that may be reflected in the Company’s
non-GAAP adjustments.
3. We note you present Non-GAAP Constant
Currency Net Revenue and AEBITDA, which also includes an adjustment for constant currency.
We also note you calculate these measures by multiplying Euro-derived data by 1.15 to reflect
an exchange rate of 1 Euro to 1.15 USD, that you believe is a reasonable exchange rate to
use to give a stable depiction of the business without currency fluctuations between periods
and approximates the average exchange rate of the Euro to USD over the past five years. Please
more fully explain to us why you believe using an average exchange rate over the past five
years rather than the actual difference between the exchange rates during the periods presented
would be more appropriate and quantify the difference between the rate you used and the actual
rates. This comment is also applicable to disclosures in Earnings Releases filed under Form
8-K.
3
The Company operates in over 50 countries
worldwide and more than 50% of the Company’s net revenues and expenses are denominated in non-USD currency (Euros). As the Staff
has noted, the Company has historically used an exchange rate of 1 Euro to 1.15 U.S. Dollars (“USD”) in its presentation
of non-GAAP constant currency metrics. This is the exchange rate used by management to evaluate the performance of the business across
multiple periods without the impact of currency translation. It is, of course, just one piece of information, and supplemental to the
Company’s results presented on a GAAP basis. As such, the Company believes that this presentation provides investors with supplemental
information that is consistent with how management evaluates the Company’s business performance across multiple periods.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in response
to the Staff’s comment, the Company acknowledges that the broader industry-practice is to provide non-GAAP constant currency metrics
based on the average exchange rates in effect for the comparable prior year period. The Company will revise its disclosures in future
filings to reflect such practice by translating current period results in Euros to USD by using the currency conversion rate for the
comparative period of the prior year.
The Company advises the Staff that,
had the Company followed such practice in lieu of the Company’s historical constant currency practice, the Company would have used
(i) an exchange rate of 1 Euro to 1.0535 USD when calculating constant currency metrics for the year ended December 31, 2023 (based on
the average exchange rates for the year ended December 31, 2022), (ii) an exchange rate of 1 Euro to 1.0210 USD when calculating constant
currency metrics for the fourth quarter of 2023 (based on the average exchange rates for the fourth quarter of 2022), (iii) an exchange
rate of 1 Euro to 1.1835 USD when calculating constant currency metrics for the year ended December 31, 2022 (based on the average exchange
rates for the year ended December 31, 2021), and (iv) an exchange rate of 1 Euro to 1.1439 USD when calculating constant currency metrics
for the fourth quarter of 2022 (based on the average exchange rates for the fourth quarter of 2021).

related to your business. This comment is also applicable to disclosures in Earnings
Releases filed under Form 8-K.
3.We note you present Non-GAAP Constant Currency Net Revenue and AEBITDA,
which also includes an adjustment for constant currency. We also note you calculate
these measures by multiplying Euro-derived data by 1.15 to reflect an exchange rate
of 1 Euro to 1.15 USD, that you believe is a reasonable exchange rate to use to give a
stable depiction of the business without currency fluctuations between periods and
approximates the average exchange rate of the Euro to USD over the past five years.
Please more fully explain to us why you believe using an average exchange rate over
the past five years rather than the actual difference between the exchange rates during
the periods presented would be more appropriate and quantify the difference between
the rate you used and the actual rates. This comment is also applicable to disclosures
in Earnings Releases filed under Form 8-K.

Dear
Ms. McHale and Mr. Ingram:
On
behalf of our client, Ranpak Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), we are responding to the
comment from the Staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
relating to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) contained
in the Staff’s letter dated July 2, 2019 (the “Comment Letter”). In response to the comment set forth
in the Comment Letter, the Company has revised the Registration Statement and is filing Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement
(“Amendment No. 1”) together with this response letter. We are also sending, under separate cover, a copy of
Amendment No. 1 and three marked copies of Amendment No. 1 showing the changes to the Registration Statement filed with the Commission
on June 13, 2019.
For
convenience, the Staff’s comment is repeated below in italics, followed by the Company’s response to the comment as
well as a summary of the responsive actions taken. We have included page numbers to refer to the location in Amendment No. 1 where
the revised language addressing the Staff’s comment appears.

Registration
Statement on Form S-3
General
1. Your
registration statement covers the offer and sale of Class A Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of (i) redeemable warrants to purchase shares of Class A common stock that
you issued in private placements to certain accredited investors upon the closing of
your initial business combination with Rack Holdings Inc. pursuant to forward purchase
agreements and (ii) warrants to purchase shares of Class A common stock that you issued
to the anchor investors and the BSOF entities in a private placement in connection with
the closing of your IPO. Please note that a transaction commenced privately cannot be
converted to a registered offering. Please advise us of the exercise provisions of the
warrants referenced above. If you do not believe the warrants were immediately exercisable
(i.e., within one year) when issued privately, please explain why. Refer to Securities
Act Sections Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation Questions 103.04 and 134.02.
Response:
In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company respectfully advises the Staff that, while the Company reserves its position on the ability to register the issuance of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of (i) redeemable warrants to purchase shares of Class A common stock issued in private placements to certain accredited investors upon the closing of the Company’s initial business combination with Rack Holdings Inc. pursuant to forward purchase agreements (“forward purchase warrants”) and (ii) warrants to purchase shares of Class A common stock that were issued to the anchor investors and the BSOF entities in a private placement in connection with the closing of the Company’s IPO (“private placement warrants”), the Company no longer intends to register the issuance of such shares of Class A common stock under the Registration Statement. Accordingly, the Company has revised Amendment No. 1 to remove the registration of the issuance of such Class A shares, as well as the resale of the forward purchase warrants and private placement warrants and the Class A shares issuable upon their exercise.

does apply to Securities Act claims to the fullest extent permitted by law. Accordingly, the Company has revised the applicable
disclosure on page 82 of Amendment No. 1 to address the Staff’s comment.

4. Please
revise to clarify the aggregate proposed purchase price included in the August 9 and
September 12, 2018 indications of interest.
Response:
We acknowledge the Staff’s comment and respectfully advise the Staff that we have revised the applicable disclosure on page 108 of Amendment No. 1 to clarify the aggregate purchase price in the indications of interest.
5. We
note the disclosure on page 108 regarding a downward revision in One Madison’s
view of Ranpak’s adjusted EBITDA and on page 109 regarding a downward revision
in One Madison’s view of Ranpak’s topline growth and margin expectations.
Please revise to clarify and quantify the extent of those downward revisions.
Response:
We acknowledge the Staff’s comment and respectfully advise the Staff that we have revised the applicable disclosure on pages 108 and 109 of Amendment No. 1.

6. Please
revise to clarify the “certain market perspectives and certain valuation perspectives
with respect to Ranpak and the proposed transaction,” as noted on page 112. Please
also refer to Items 4(b) and 21(c) to Form S-4.
Response:
In response to the Staff’s comment, we respectfully advise the Staff that we have revised the applicable disclosure on page 112 of Amendment No. 1 to further describe the market perspectives and valuation perspectives discussed by Citigroup Global
Markets (“Citi”) at the December 12, 2018 telephonic meeting (the “Board Meeting”) of the
Company’s board of directors (the “Board”).
The
Company respectfully submits that the disclosure required by Items 4(b) and 21(c) of Form S-4 is not applicable to the discussion
(the “Discussion”) led by a representative of Citi at the Board Meeting. Items 4(b) and 21(c) require disclosure
regarding any “report, opinion or appraisal materially relating to the transaction” that has been received from an
outside party and referred to in the Registration Statement. The Company does not believe the Discussion constitutes a report,
opinion or appraisal materially relating to the proposed transaction, notwithstanding the reference to the Discussion in the Registration
Statement. Citi was retained by the Company to assist in (i) the preparation of financial and valuation analysis, (ii) business,
operating and financial due diligence, (iii) developing a general strategy for accomplishing the transaction and (iv) the
negotiation of the transaction. Citi was not engaged to, and therefore did not, render a report or fairness opinion. The Discussion
was never intended by the Company’s Board, the Company’s management, Citi or the Company’s other advisers to
be a report or opinion, but rather was intended to be considered as discussion material in connection with the Board’s consideration
of the transaction. Moreover, the Discussion constituted only one source of information considered by the Board in connection
with its consideration of the transaction. The Company does not believe that any further information about the Discussion is required
by Form S-4.

note the extensive positive reasons cited in this section, such as the significant market
opportunity and growth potential, attractive margins, strong visibility into revenue,
compelling financial metrics and valuation and an attractive financial profile. We note
similar disclosures on pages 179 and 180. Please clarify how the downward revisions referenced
in pages 108 and 109 are consistent with these reasons. Also clarify how those revisions
were considered by your board in reaching its conclusions regarding the positive reasons
cited in your disclosure.
Response:
We acknowledge the Staff’s comments and respectfully advise the Staff that we have revised the applicable disclosure on
page 116 of Amendment No. 1.

is uncertain and that those transactions may not be taxable. We note, for example,

be. Please file the opinion required by Item 601(b)(8) of Regulation S-K.

state that your depreciation and amortization, including the depreciation components
of cost of sales, are expected to change, possibly significantly, reflecting the valuations
of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets with finite useful lives. Please
expand your disclosure to include an estimate for the annual increase in depreciation
and amortization expense.
Response:
We acknowledge the Staff’s comment and respectfully advise the Staff that we have revised the applicable disclosure on page 193 of Amendment No. 1 to indicate that depreciation and amortization, including the depreciation components of cost of sales,
would increase on a pro forma basis by approximately $7.0 million.

12. Your
disclosure, like on pages 179 and 192, indicates that your sales consist of packaging
systems as well as consumables, contrary to your disclosure on page 183 that substantially
all sales relate to consumables. Please revise to clarify the portion of your net sales
for each period that was comprised of packaging systems and the portion comprised of
consumables. Also revise to clarify the impact changes in price and volume had on net
sales. We note, for example, disclosure that paper prices increased by 12% in 2018 and
that you raised product prices in response. However, the extent of the increase is unclear.
Response:
We acknowledge the Staff’s comment and respectfully advise the Staff that we have revised the applicable disclosure on page 183 of Amendment No. 1 and elsewhere in the Registration Statement to indicate, after the reference to “substantially
all,” that over 90% of Ranpak’s net sales in each period presented were derived from its paper consumables. Ranpak’s
business model entails providing its protective packaging systems to customers and end-users for their use, as described on pages
179 and 192 of Amendment No. 1. Ranpak retains ownership of its protective packaging systems, though customers generally pay
a nominal quarterly fee for their use, as disclosed elsewhere on pages 183 and 195 of Amendment No. 1. Following Ranpak’s
acquisition of e3neo in October 2017, Ranpak commenced sales of e3neo’s automated, integrated box-sizing systems to certain
high-volume end-users, as described on pages 181 and 186 of Amendment No. 1. We have revised our disclosure in the relevant
parts of the Registration Statement to make these distinctions clearer.
In
response to the Staff’s comment, we have also revised the applicable disclosure on pages 196 and 198 of Amendment No.
1 to provide, in percentage point terms, the relative portions of the increase in net sales between periods that were attributable
to volume and price.
