Correction: Fourth quarter 2024 net income, excluding the impact of
adjustments, revised to $65.5 million and 2024 Class A diluted
earnings per share, excluding adjustments, revised to $1.13. In the
earnings release issued earlier today, the fourth quarter 2024 net
income, excluding the impact of adjustments, incorrectly presented
a $16.0 million income tax expense related to “(gain) loss on
disposal of businesses, net”. This resulted in stating net income,
excluding the impact of adjustments, for the period of $49.6
million and diluted Class A earnings per share, excluding
adjustments, for the period of $0.85. The corrected net income,
excluding the impact of adjustments, for the period is $65.5
million, and the corrected diluted Class A earnings per share,
excluding adjustments, for the period is $1.13.

Note: A reconciliation of the differences
between all non-GAAP financial measures used in this release with
the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in
the financial schedules that are a part of this release. These
non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement, and should
be read together with, our financial results. They should not be
considered an alternative or substitute for, and should not be
considered superior to, our reported financial results.
Accordingly, users of this financial information should not place
undue reliance on these non-GAAP financial measures.
Segment Results (all results compared to the
fourth quarter of
2023 unless otherwise noted)
Net sales are impacted mainly by the volume of
primary products(7) sold, selling prices, product mix and the
impact of changes in foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar.
The table below shows the percentage impact of each of these items
on net sales for our primary products for the fourth quarter of
2024 as compared to the prior year quarter for the business
segments with manufacturing operations. Net sales from completed
acquisitions of Reliance Products Ltd. (“Reliance”) and Ipackchem
Group SAS ("Ipackchem") primary products are not included in the
table below, but will be included in their respective segments
starting in the fiscal first quarter of 2025 for Reliance and
fiscal third quarter of 2025 for Ipackchem.

Global Industrial Packaging
Net sales increased by $65.9 million to
$786.9 million primarily due to contributions from recent
acquisitions and higher volumes.
Gross profit increased by $12.6 million to
$167.0 million due to the same factors that impacted net sales,
partially offset by higher raw material, labor and manufacturing
costs.
Operating profit decreased by $0.1 million
to $75.0 million primarily due to higher SG&A expenses from
recent acquisitions, offset by the same factors that impacted gross
profit. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $4.0 million to $109.4
million primarily due to the same factors that impacted gross
profit, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses from recent
acquisitions.
Paper Packaging &
Services
Net sales increased by $42.9 million to
$624.5 million primarily due to higher average selling prices as a
result of higher published containerboard and boxboard prices.
Gross profit decreased by $0.1 million to
$118.7 million primarily due to higher raw material and labor
costs, offset by the same factors that impacted net sales.
Operating profit increased by $13.4 million
to $48.7 million primarily due to lower non-cash impairment charges
and restructuring charges related to optimizing and rationalizing
operations in the prior year, partially offset by the same factors
that impacted gross profit and higher SG&A expenses related to
higher health, medical, incentive and pension expenses. Adjusted
EBITDA decreased by $8.4 million to $85.3 million primarily
due to the same factors that impacted gross profit and higher
SG&A expenses related to higher health, medical, incentive and
pension expenses.
Tax Summary
During the fourth quarter, we recorded an income
tax rate of 21.8 percent and a tax rate excluding the impact of
adjustments of 21.9 percent. Note that the application of
accounting for income taxes often causes fluctuations in our
quarterly effective tax rates. For the full year, we recorded an
income tax rate of 10.6 percent and a tax rate excluding the impact
of adjustments of 7.4 percent.
Dividend Summary
On December 3, 2024, the Board of Directors
declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.54 per share of Class A
Common Stock and $0.80 per share of Class B Common Stock. Dividends
are payable on January 1, 2025, to stockholders of record at the
close of business on December 16, 2024.

(7) |
Primary products are manufactured steel, plastic and fibre drums;
new and reconditioned intermediate bulk containers; jerrycans and
other small plastics; linerboard, containerboard, corrugated sheets
and corrugated containers; and boxboard and tube and core
products. |

Company Outlook
Our markets have now experienced a multi-year
period of industrial contraction, and we have not identified any
compelling demand inflection on the horizon, despite slightly
improved year over year volumes. While we believe we are well
positioned for an eventual recovery of the industrial economy, at
this time we believe it is appropriate to provide only low-end
guidance based on the continuation of demand trends reflected in
the past year, current price/cost factors in Paper Packaging and
Services, and other identifiable discrete items which we will
discuss during our fourth quarter earnings release call. Call-in
details are provided below.

Fiscal 2025 Low-End
Guidance Estimate |
|
Adjusted EBITDA |
$675 |
| Adjusted free cash flow |
$225 |
|
|
|
Note: Fiscal 2025 net income guidance, the most
directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA, is
not provided in this release due to the potential for one or more
of the following, the timing and magnitude of which we are unable
to reliably forecast: gains or losses on the disposal of businesses
or properties, plants and equipment, net; non-cash asset impairment
charges due to unanticipated changes in the business;
restructuring-related activities; acquisition and integration
related costs; and ongoing initiatives under our Build to Last
strategy. No reconciliation of the 2025 low-end guidance estimate
of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes
restructuring charges, acquisition and integration related costs,
non-cash asset impairment charges, and (gain) loss on the disposal
of properties, plants and equipment, (gain) loss on the disposal of
businesses, net, and other costs, is included in this release
because, due to the high variability and difficulty in making
accurate forecasts and projections of some of the excluded
information, together with some of the excluded information not
being ascertainable or accessible, we are unable to quantify
certain amounts that would be required to be included in net
income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure,
without unreasonable efforts. A reconciliation of 2025 low-end
guidance estimate of adjusted free cash flow to fiscal 2025
forecasted net cash provided by operating activities, the most
directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is included in this
release.

(8) EBITDA is defined as net income, plus
interest expense, net, plus income tax (benefit) expense, plus
depreciation, depletion and amortization. However, because the
Company does not calculate net income by segment, this table
calculates EBITDA by segment with reference to operating profit by
segment, which, as demonstrated in the table of Consolidated
EBITDA, is another method to achieve the same result. See the
reconciliations in the table of Segment EBITDA.
(9) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income,
plus interest expense, net, plus income tax (benefit) expense, plus
depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, plus acquisition
and integration related costs, plus restructuring charges, plus
non-cash asset impairment charges, plus non-cash pension settlement
charges, plus gain (loss) on disposal of properties, plants and
equipment, (gain) loss on disposal of businesses, net, plus other
costs.

(10) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net
income, plus interest expense, net, plus income tax (benefit)
expense, plus depreciation, depletion and amortization expense,
plus acquisition and integration related costs, plus restructuring
charges, plus non-cash asset impairment charges, plus non-cash
pension settlement charges, plus (gain) loss on disposal of
properties, plants and equipment, plus (gain) loss on disposal of
businesses, net, plus other costs. However, because the Company
does not calculate net income by segment, this table calculates
adjusted EBITDA by segment with reference to operating profit by
segment, which, as demonstrated in the table of consolidated
adjusted EBITDA, is another method to achieve the same result.
