Silgan Holdings Inc. (NYSE: SLGN), a leading supplier of
sustainable rigid packaging solutions for the world's essential
consumer goods products, today reported first quarter 2024 net
sales of $1.32 billion and net income of $55.2 million, or $0.52
per diluted share, as compared to first quarter 2023 net sales of
$1.42 billion and net income of $72.0 million, or $0.65 per diluted
share.
Adjusted net income per diluted share for the first quarter of
2024 was $0.69, after adjustments increasing net income per diluted
share by $0.17. Adjusted net income per diluted share for the first
quarter of 2023 was $0.78 after adjustments increasing net income
per diluted share by $0.13. A reconciliation of net income per
diluted share to "adjusted net income per diluted share," a
Non-GAAP financial measure used by the Company that adjusts net
income per diluted share for certain items, can be found in Table A
at the back of this press release.
"The Silgan team delivered strong first quarter results at the
high end of our guidance range, which continued to display the
power of our diverse portfolio and winning long-term business
strategy," said Adam Greenlee, President and CEO. "Our global
dispensing business is well positioned to deliver another year of
growth and strong results through market leading innovation, strong
end market demand, additional business wins and significant
momentum in the marketplace. Consumer demand for our food and
beverage products remains resilient, and our first quarter volumes,
as expected, were impacted by our customers' first half destocking
priorities. In certain markets, customers accelerated those
activities to be more weighted to the first quarter than initially
anticipated. In our Custom Containers business, we're encouraged
that volumes improved sequentially, and we have also successfully
commercialized a new business award as expected in the first
quarter. Overall, we continue to see positive signs in each of our
businesses with increased promotional activity at retail and
improving demand trends," continued Mr. Greenlee. "We remain
focused on meeting the unique needs of our customers while actively
managing what is within our control. We have made significant
progress towards our $50 million cost reduction program and are
confident in our ability to deliver $20 million of cost savings in
2024. Importantly, we are on track to deliver our 2024 objectives
and are encouraged with the opportunities that remain in 2024 and
beyond," concluded Mr. Greenlee.
First Quarter Results
Net sales for the first quarter of 2024 were $1.32 billion, a
decrease of $101.3 million, or 7%, as compared to record sales in
the same period in the prior year. First quarter 2024 net sales
declined predominantly as a result of lower volumes and the pass
through of lower raw material costs.
Income before interest and income taxes (EBIT) for the first
quarter of 2024 was $111.7 million, a decrease of $19.5 million as
compared to $131.2 million for the first quarter of 2023. EBIT in
the Dispensing and Specialty Closures, Metal Containers and Custom
Containers segments were $59.7 million, $41.7 million, and $17.8
million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2024.
Rationalization charges were $11.7 million and $4.1 million in the
first quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively. A reconciliation of
EBIT for each segment to adjusted EBIT, a Non-GAAP financial
measure used by the Company that adjusts EBIT for certain items,
can be found in Table B at the back of this press release.
Interest and other debt expense for the first quarter of 2024
was $38.6 million, an increase of $1.8 million as compared to the
first quarter of 2023 primarily due to the impact of higher
interest rates.
The effective tax rates were 24.5% and 23.8% for the first
quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively.
First Quarter Segment Results
Dispensing and Specialty Closures Net sales of the Dispensing
and Specialty Closures segment were $535.9 million in the first
quarter of 2024, a decrease of $44.0 million, or 8%, as compared to
$579.9 million in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in net
sales from the prior year quarter was a result of lower volume/mix
of 8%, driven by double digit declines in higher volume closures
for food and beverage markets due to customer destocking priorities
that accelerated to be more weighted to the first quarter. Demand
for global dispensing products remained strong during the
quarter.
Dispensing and Specialty Closures adjusted EBIT decreased $5.1
million to $77.8 million in the first quarter of 2024 as compared
to $82.9 million in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in
adjusted EBIT was driven primarily by lower volume/mix, which was
partially offset by favorable price/cost. Favorable price/cost was
driven by improved manufacturing productivity that overcame the
negative impact of the sell through of higher cost inventory from
the prior year in our European food and beverage closures
operations due to lower metal costs in 2024.
Metal Containers Net sales of the Metal Containers segment were
$617.1 million in the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of $53.0
million, or 8%, as compared to $670.1 million in the first quarter
of 2023. The decrease in net sales from the prior year quarter was
primarily a result of lower unit volume of 5% driven by continued
customer destocking across several categories, as compared to very
strong demand in the first quarter of 2023, and the contractual
pass through of lower raw material costs.
Metal Containers adjusted EBIT decreased $7.4 million to $45.0
million in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to $52.4 million
in the first quarter of 2023. The anticipated decline in adjusted
EBIT in the quarter was predominantly the result of unfavorable
price/cost including mix, due mostly to the sell through of higher
cost inventory from the prior year in our European Metal Containers
operations due to lower metal costs in 2024, and lower volume,
which was partially offset by improved SG&A cost
management.
Custom Containers Net sales of the Custom Containers segment
were $164.0 million in the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of
$4.3 million, or 3%, as compared to $168.3 million in the first
quarter of 2023. This decrease was primarily the result of lower
volumes of 3% due to continued customer destocking activity.
Custom Containers adjusted EBIT increased $0.1 million to $20.2
million in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to $20.1 million
in the first quarter of 2023. The increase in adjusted EBIT was
primarily the result of more favorable price/cost including mix,
which was partly offset by lower volumes.
Outlook for 2024
The Company is confirming its estimate of adjusted net income
per diluted share for the full year of 2024 in the range of $3.55
to $3.75, a 7% increase at the midpoint of the range over adjusted
net income per diluted share of $3.40 in 2023. Volumes in all
segments for 2024 are expected to be higher than 2023 levels.
Adjusted net income per diluted share excludes certain items as
outlined in Table C at the back of this press release.
The Company anticipates interest and other debt expense in 2024
of approximately $170 million and an effective tax rate for 2024 of
approximately 24 - 25%.
The Company currently estimates that free cash flow in 2024 will
be approximately $375 million as compared to $356.7 million in
2023. Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $240
million in 2024.
For the second quarter of 2024, the Company expects low to mid
single digit volume growth in the Dispensing and Specialty Closures
segment, low single digit volume growth in the Custom Containers
segment, and comparable volumes in the Metal Containers segment as
compared to the prior year period. The Company is providing an
estimate of adjusted net income per diluted share for the second
quarter of 2024 in the range of $0.82 to $0.92, a 5% increase at
the midpoint of the range as compared to $0.83 in the second
quarter of 2023. Adjusted net income per diluted share excludes
certain items as outlined in Table C at the back of this press
release.

(1) The Company has presented adjusted net income per diluted
share for the periods covered by this press release, which measure
is a Non-GAAP financial measure. The Company’s management believes
it is useful to exclude acquired intangible asset amortization
expense, other pension (income) expense for U.S. pension plans and
rationalization charges from its net income per diluted share as
calculated under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
because such Non-GAAP financial measure allows for a more
appropriate evaluation of its operating results. Acquired
intangible asset amortization expense is a non-cash expense related
to acquired operations that management believes is not indicative
of the on-going performance of the acquired operations. Since the
Company's U.S. pension plans are significantly over funded and have
no required cash contributions for the foreseeable future based on
current regulations, management views other pension (income)
expense from the Company's U.S. pension plans, which excludes
service costs, as not reflective of the operational performance of
the Company or its segments. While rationalization costs are
incurred on a regular basis, management views these costs more as
an investment to generate savings rather than period costs. Such
Non-GAAP financial measure is not in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles and should not be considered in
isolation but should be read in conjunction with the unaudited
condensed consolidated statements of income and the other
information presented herein. Additionally, such Non-GAAP financial
measure should not be considered a substitute for net income per
diluted share as calculated under U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles and may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures of other companies.
(2) The Company has presented adjusted EBIT for the periods
covered by this press release, which measure is a Non-GAAP
financial measure. The Company’s management believes it is useful
to exclude acquired intangible asset amortization expense, other
pension (income) expense for U.S. pension plans and rationalization
charges from EBIT for the Company and each of its segments as
calculated under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
because such Non-GAAP financial measure allows for a more
appropriate evaluation of operating results. Acquired intangible
asset amortization expense is a non-cash expense related to
acquired operations that management believes is not indicative of
the on-going performance of the acquired operations. Since the
Company's U.S. pension plans are significantly over funded and have
no required cash contributions for the foreseeable future based on
current regulations, management views other pension (income)
expense from the Company's U.S. pension plans, which excludes
service costs, as not reflective of the operational performance of
the Company or its segments. While rationalization costs are
incurred on a regular basis, management views these costs more as
an investment to generate savings rather than period costs. Such
Non-GAAP financial measure is not in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles and should not be considered in
isolation but should be read in conjunction with the unaudited
condensed consolidated statements of income and the other
information presented herein. Additionally, such Non-GAAP financial
measure should not be considered a substitute for income before
interest and income taxes (EBIT) as calculated under U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures of other companies.
