NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Information at September 30, 2006 and 2005 and for the
three and nine months then ended is unaudited)
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements of Silgan Holdings Inc., or Holdings, have been prepared in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial
statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation. The results of operations for any
interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for
the full year.
The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2005 has been derived
from our audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not
include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements.
You should read the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in
conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Certain prior years' amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current
year's presentation.
Goodwill. We review goodwill for impairment as of July 1 of each year and more
frequently if circumstances indicate a possible impairment. We determined that
goodwill was not impaired in our third quarter 2006 assessment.
Stock-Based Compensation. We currently have one stock-based compensation plan in
effect, under which we have issued options and restricted stock units to our
officers, other key employees and outside directors. In December 2004, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment." SFAS No.
123(R) requires that public companies recognize compensation expense in an
amount equal to the fair value of the share-based payment. We adopted SFAS No.
123(R) on January 1, 2006, utilizing the modified prospective transition method
in which compensation expense is recognized beginning January 1, 2006, the
effective date, (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) for all
share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the
requirements of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," for all
awards granted to employees and directors prior to the effective date of SFAS
No. 123(R) that remained unvested on January 1, 2006. In addition, in accordance
with SFAS No. 123(R), upon adoption of this pronouncement we reversed our
unamortized stock compensation balance representing the unvested portion of
restricted stock units granted prior to January 1, 2006 into paid-in capital.
The financial statements for prior years have not been restated and do not
include the impact of SFAS No. 123(R). The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) did not
have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash
flows or basic and diluted net income per share.

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Stock-Based Compensation (continued). We have calculated the paid-in capital
pool related to employee compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R). SFAS
No. 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized
compensation expense to be reported as a financing cash flow activity, rather
than as an operating cash flow activity as previously required. This requirement
reduces net operating cash flows and increases net financing cash flows in
periods after adoption. The amounts recognized for such excess tax deductions
were not material to our cash flows for the nine months ending September 30,
2006 and 2005.
Prior to January 1, 2006, we applied the recognition and measurement principles
of Accounting Principles Board, or APB, Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees," and related interpretations in accounting for stock
awards. Accordingly, no compensation expense for employee stock options was
recognized, as all options granted had an exercise price that was equal to or
greater than the market value of the underlying stock on the date of the grant.
As permitted by SFAS No. 123, stock-based compensation was included as a pro
forma disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. The following table
shows the effect on net income and basic and diluted net income per share if we
had applied the fair value recognition provisions in accordance with SFAS No.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Information at September 30, 2006 and 2005 and for the
three and nine months then ended is unaudited)
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In September 2006, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." SFAS No. 157 establishes a single
authoritative definition for fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair
value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS
No. 157 is effective for us on January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the
impact SFAS No. 157 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for
Deferred Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB
Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)." SFAS No. 158 requires the recognition of
the funded status of deferred benefit postretirement plans in the statement of
financial position, and recognition of changes in the funded status in the year
in which the changes occur through accumulated other comprehensive income. SFAS
No. 158 requires prospective application, recognition and additional disclosure
requirements effective for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. We are
currently evaluating the impact SFAS No. 158 will have on our consolidated
financial statements.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation, or FIN, No. 48, "Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109."
FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by
prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial
statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be
taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on
derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods and disclosure. FIN No. 48 is effective for us on January 1, 2007. We
are currently evaluating the impact FIN No. 48 will have on our consolidated
financial statements.
Note 2. White Cap Acquisition
On June 1, 2006 we acquired the Amcor White Cap closures operations in Europe
and on July 1, 2006 we acquired the Amcor White Cap closures operations in
Turkey, collectively "White Cap," from Amcor Limited. White Cap is a leading
supplier of an extensive range of metal closures to consumer goods packaging
companies in the food and beverage industries. White Cap has been combined with
our previously acquired White Cap U.S. closures operations to create a global
leader in vacuum closures for hot filled and retortable food and beverage
products. At the respective closings, we paid an aggregate of $261.8 million for
White Cap, including acquisition fees, net of cash actually acquired of $1.7
million. As part of the acquisition of the operations in Turkey, we also assumed
$17.0 million of indebtedness of such business. The purchase price is subject to
adjustment as provided in the purchase agreement dated February 22, 2006 with
Amcor Limited, or the White Cap Purchase Agreement, in respect of the amount of
cash and working capital acquired and certain liabilities assumed, to the extent
such amounts differ from amounts estimated for closing.

Note 2. White Cap Acquisition (continued)
We expect to acquire additional Amcor White Cap closures operations located in
Brazil, China, the Philippines and Venezuela upon satisfaction of certain
specified conditions as provided in the White Cap Purchase Agreement. The
aggregate purchase price for these Amcor White Cap closures operations and
related working capital will be approximately EUR 19 million plus assumed
indebtedness, subject to adjustment as provided in the White Cap Purchase
Agreement.
The White Cap acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the
respective dates of acquisition, and the results of operations have been
included in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of the respective
dates of acquisition. The acquired White Cap operations have been combined with
our pre-existing U.S. closures operations previously reported as part of our
Metal Food Containers business segment to form a new Closures business segment
(see Note 12).
The following summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed at the respective acquisition dates in connection with the
White Cap acquisition. The valuation of assets and liabilities is still in
process and, therefore, the actual fair values may vary from these preliminary
estimates. In addition, the initial consideration for the acquisition is subject
to closing adjustments expected to be finalized in the fourth quarter of 2006.
We have engaged third party experts to value certain assets and liabilities
including property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and pension
obligations.
Preliminary valuation of acquired net assets at the respective acquisition dates
in connection with the White Cap acquisition is as follows (dollars in
thousands):
Trade accounts receivable $ 52,219
Inventories 64,124
Property, plant and equipment 125,497
Goodwill 34,518
Other intangible assets, primarily trade name
and customer relationships 89,772
Other assets 8,500
Trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities (38,878)
Revolving debt (16,964)
Other liabilities (57,010)

Note 2. White Cap Acquisition (continued)
The following unaudited pro forma financial information includes our historical
results of operations for the periods indicated and gives pro forma effect to
the White Cap acquisition as if it had been completed as of the beginning of the
periods indicated. The pro forma results of operations include interest expense
related to incremental borrowings used to finance the White Cap acquisition and
adjustments to depreciation and amortization expense for the valuation of
property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. The pro forma results of
operations do not give effect to potential synergies or additional costs
resulting from the integration of White Cap with our existing operations, nor do
they reflect savings from the impact of headcount reductions recently completed
by the White Cap operations.
The unaudited pro forma financial information is not intended to represent or be
indicative of our consolidated results of operations or financial condition that
would have been reported had the White Cap acquisition been completed as of the
beginning of the periods presented, nor should it be taken as indicative of our
future consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

2006 Rationalization Plans
--------------------------
In June 2006, in an effort to streamline operations and reduce costs, we
approved a plan to exit our St. Paul, Minnesota metal food container
manufacturing facility in the second quarter of 2007. The plan includes the
termination of approximately 60 employees, the consolidation of certain
operations into existing facilities and the elimination of the remaining
operations and the exit of the facility. We estimate that the total costs for
the rationalization of the facility will be $13.2 million. These costs include
$4.6 million of pension and postretirement curtailment expense, $3.0 million of
employee severance and special termination benefits, $2.6 million for plant exit
costs, $2.6 million for the acceleration of depreciation to write-down the
building for sale and equipment for abandonment upon the exit of the facility
and $0.4 million for the non-cash write-down in carrying value of assets. Total
charges recognized during the first nine months of 2006 were $4.6 million for
non-cash pension and postretirement curtailment expense, $1.4 million for
employee severance and special termination benefits and $1.2 million for the
non-cash write-down and accelerated depreciation of the building and equipment.
Additional charges of $1.8 million are expected in the fourth quarter of 2006,
with the remaining charges expected primarily in 2007. Cash expenditures of $4.3
million are expected primarily in 2007.

2006 Rationalization Plans (continued)
--------------------------
In February 2006, we approved and announced a plan to exit our Valencia,
California plastic container manufacturing facility. The plan included the
termination of approximately 90 plant employees and other related plant exit
costs. This decision resulted in a charge to earnings during the first nine
months of 2006 of $0.5 million for employee severance and benefits, $2.3 million
for the non-cash write-down in carrying value of assets and $0.1 million for
plant exit costs. The plant has ceased operations and estimated remaining cash
payments of $1.4 million are expected to be paid in the fourth quarter of 2006
primarily for the buyout of the property lease.

Note 6. Debt (continued)
On June 1, 2006, we completed a second amendment to our Credit Agreement. The
second amendment, among other things, permitted us to borrow an incremental term
loan of up to EUR 200.0 million for the acquisition of White Cap, while leaving
the uncommitted incremental loan facility of up to $350 million available under
the Credit Agreement. On June 1, 2006, we borrowed the full EUR 200.0 million
incremental term loan and used the funds to finance the purchase price for the
acquisition of White Cap.
The EUR 200.0 million incremental term loan matures on June 30, 2012 and is
payable in installments as follows (amounts in thousands):
Incremental Term Loan
Scheduled Repayment Date Amount
------------------------ ------
December 31, 2008 EUR 20,000
December 31, 2009 30,000
December 31, 2010 30,000
December 31, 2011 40,000
June 30, 2012 80,000
Interest on the EUR 200.0 million incremental term loan will accrue at the Euro
Rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus the applicable margin for A term
loans maintained as Eurodollar Loans under the Credit Agreement. At September
30, 2006, the interest rate on this incremental term loan was 4.38 percent.
The incremental term loan is (i) secured by all of the collateral pledged under
the Credit Agreement and (ii) guaranteed by the guarantors under the Credit
Agreement, in each case to the same extent that A term loans and B term loans
under the Credit Agreement are secured and guaranteed.
At September 30, 2006, the aggregate notional principal amount of outstanding
U.S. dollar interest rate swap agreements was $200 million, with $100 million
maturing in each of 2007 and 2008.
In June 2006, we entered into five Eurodollar interest rate swap agreements
totaling EUR 180.0 million to fix interest at rates ranging from 3.49 percent to
4.06 percent. These interest rate swap agreements mature as follows: EUR 20.0
million in 2007, EUR 25.0 million in 2008, EUR 30.0 million in 2011, and EUR
105.0 million in 2014. These interest rate swap agreements are accounted for as
cash flow hedges and are with a financial institution which is expected to fully
perform under the terms thereof.
Taking into account the current interest rate applicable for the EUR 200.0
million incremental term loan under the Credit Agreement and the weighted
average cost differential between current Euribor rates and the fixed rates on
the Eurodollar interest rate swap agreements, the effective interest rate on the
EUR 200.0 million incremental term loan at September 30, 2006 was 5.04 percent.

In September 2006, we recognized income of $1.9 million for the curtailment of
postretirement benefits in one of our closures manufacturing facilities.
In June 2006, we approved a plan to exit our St. Paul, Minnesota metal food
container manufacturing facility. As a result of this plan, we recognized
curtailment expense for our pension and postretirement benefits of $3.7 million
and $1.2 million, respectively, and incurred additional costs of $0.6 million
for special termination pension benefits. In September 2006, we reduced the
postretirement benefits curtailment expense by $0.3 million to reflect the most
current estimate. See Note 3 for further information.
As previously disclosed in our consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2005, based on current tax law, there are no minimum required contributions
to our pension plans in 2006. However, this is subject to change based on
current tax proposals before Congress, as well as in the event that asset
performance is significantly below the assumed long-term rate of return on plan
assets. During the first nine months of 2006, we made no contributions to fund
our pension plans.

Note 8. Income Taxes
In the third quarter of 2006, we recognized a cumulative income tax benefit of
$6.9 million primarily related to the completion of tax initiatives for research
and development credits. The estimated impact of ongoing research and
development credits to our effective tax rate is not expected to be material.
Note 9. Dividends
In March, June and September of 2006, we paid a quarterly cash dividend on our
common stock of $0.12 per share, as approved by our Board of Directors. The
aggregate cash payments for these dividends totaled $13.5 million.
On November 2, 2006, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend
on our common stock of $0.12 per share, payable on December 15, 2006 to holders
of record of our common stock on December 1, 2006. The cash payment for this
dividend is expected to be approximately $4.5 million.
Note 10. Treasury Stock
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we issued 23,328 treasury
shares at an average cost of $13.25 per share for restricted stock units that
vested during the period. In accordance with the Silgan Holdings Inc. 2004 Stock
Incentive Plan, we repurchased 5,162 shares of our common stock at an average
cost of $36.63 to satisfy employee withholding tax requirements resulting from
certain restricted stock units becoming vested. We account for the treasury
shares using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost method. As of September 30,
2006, 5,338,917 shares were held in treasury.
Note 11. Stock-Based Compensation
In May 2004, we adopted the Silgan Holdings Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, or
the Plan, which provides for awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance awards to our officers,
other key employees and outside directors. The Plan replaces our previous stock
option plans, and all shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under
those plans are no longer available for issuance except with respect to stock
options granted thereunder prior to adoption of the Plan.
Shares of our common stock issued under the Plan shall be authorized but
unissued shares or treasury shares. The maximum aggregate number of shares of
our common stock that may be issued in connection with stock options, stock
appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance
awards under the Plan shall not exceed 1,800,000 shares. Each award of stock
options or stock appreciation rights under the Plan will reduce the number of
shares of our common stock available for future issuance under the Plan by the
number of shares of our common stock subject to the award. Each award of
restricted stock or restricted stock units under the Plan, in contrast, will
reduce the number of shares of our common stock available for future issuance
under the Plan by two shares for every one restricted share or restricted stock
unit awarded. As of September 30, 2006, 1,132,788 shares were available for
issuance under the Plan.

Note 11. Stock-Based Compensation (continued)
We adopted SFAS No. 123(R) effective January 1, 2006. This pronouncement
requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange
for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the
award. The cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is
required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting
period. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), this accounting treatment was
optional with pro forma disclosures required. Stock-based compensation expense
recognized under SFAS No. 123(R) for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2006 increased selling, general and administrative expenses by $0.6 million
and $1.6 million, respectively.
Stock Options
-------------
We adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method,
which does not result in the restatement of previously issued financial
statements. SFAS No. 123(R) is effective for all stock options we grant
beginning January 1, 2006. For those stock option awards granted prior to
January 1, 2006 for which the vesting period is not complete, we account for
such awards on a prospective basis, with expense being recognized in our
statement of income beginning in the first quarter of 2006 using the grant date
fair values previously calculated for our pro forma disclosures. We will
recognize the related compensation expense not previously recognized in the pro
forma disclosures over the remaining vesting period. Our options typically vest
in equal annual installments over the service period and the fair value at the
grant date is being amortized ratably over the respective vesting period.
The fair value of options is determined at the grant date using a Black-Scholes
option pricing model, which requires us to make assumptions regarding the
risk-free interest rate, the dividend yield on our common stock, the market
price volatility of our common stock and the expected life of the options,
reduced for estimated forfeitures, as required by SFAS No. 123(R).

Note 11. Stock-Based Compensation (continued)
Restricted Stock Units
----------------------
Restricted stock units issued are generally accounted for as fixed grants and,
accordingly, the fair value at the grant date is being amortized ratably over
the respective vesting period. The maximum contractual vesting period for
restricted stock units outstanding at September 30, 2006 is five years. Unvested
restricted stock units may not be disposed of or transferred during the vesting
period. Restricted stock units granted in 2006 carry with them the right to
receive dividend equivalents upon vesting, subject to forfeiture.
During the first nine months of 2006, we granted 100,800 restricted stock units
to certain of our officers and key employees. These restricted stock units vest
ratably over a five-year period from the date of grant. The fair value of these
units at the date of grant was $3.9 million. In June 2006, we granted 7,878
restricted stock units to non-employee members of our Board of Directors, which
vest in full one year from the date of grant. The fair value of these units at
the date of grant was $0.3 million.
In addition, in the first quarter of 2006, our Compensation Committee approved
the issuance of 100,000 restricted stock units to one officer that are subject
to forfeiture unless certain performance criteria for the year ended December
31, 2006 is achieved. These restricted stock units vest at the conclusion of the
five-year period from the approval date. The fair value of these units at the
approval date was $3.9 million which is being amortized ratably over the
five-year vesting period and will be adjusted quarterly until such time as the
grant date is established upon the attainment of the performance criteria or it
becomes probable that the restricted stock units will be forfeited.

Note 13. Subsequent Event
In October 2006, we approved and announced to employees a plan to exit our
Stockton, California metal food container manufacturing facility at the end of
the second quarter of 2007. The plan includes the termination or relocation of
approximately 110 plant employees and other related plant exit costs. We
currently estimate rationalization charges of approximately $4.6 million for
employee severance and benefits, $1.5 million for plant exit costs and $0.6
million for the non-cash write-down in carrying value of assets. Cash payments
totaling $6.1 million are expected primarily in 2007.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
Statements included in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q which are not historical facts are "forward-looking statements" made
pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking
statements are made based upon management's expectations and beliefs concerning
future events impacting us and therefore involve a number of uncertainties and
risks, including, but not limited to, those described in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 and our other filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result, the actual results of our
operations or our financial condition could differ materially from those
expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements.
General
We are a leading North American manufacturer of metal and plastic consumer goods
packaging products. We produce steel and aluminum containers for human and pet
food; metal, composite and plastic vacuum closures for food and beverage
products; and custom designed plastic containers, tubes and closures for
personal care, health care, pharmaceutical, household and industrial chemical,
food, pet care, agricultural chemical, automotive and marine chemical products.
We are the largest manufacturer of metal food containers in North America, a
leading manufacturer of plastic containers in North America for a variety of
markets, including the personal care, health care, household and industrial
chemical and pet care markets, and a leading manufacturer of metal, composite
and plastic vacuum closures in North America and Europe for food and beverage
products.
Our objective is to increase shareholder value by efficiently deploying capital
and management resources to grow our business, reduce operating costs, build
sustainable competitive positions, or franchises, and to complete acquisitions
that generate attractive cash returns. We have grown our net sales and income
from operations over the years, largely through acquisitions but also through
internal growth, and we continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities in the
consumer goods packaging market. However, in the absence of such acquisition
opportunities, we expect to use our cash flow for other permitted purposes, such
as to repay debt, repurchase shares of our common stock or pay dividends to our
stockholders.
On June 1, 2006 we acquired the Amcor White Cap operations in Europe and on July
1, 2006 we acquired the Amcor White Cap operations in Turkey, collectively
"White Cap," for an aggregate purchase price of $261.8 million, including
acquisition fees, net of cash actually acquired of $1.7 million, plus assumed
indebtedness of $17.0 million. The purchase price is subject to adjustment as
provided in the White Cap Purchase Agreement in respect of the amount of cash
and working capital acquired and certain liabilities assumed, to the extent such
amounts differ from amounts estimated for closing. White Cap is a leading
supplier of an extensive range of metal closures to consumer goods packaging
companies in the food and beverage industries. White Cap has been combined with
our pre-existing U.S. closures operations to create a global leader in vacuum
closures for hot filled and retortable food and beverage products.
-26-
As a result of the acquisition of White Cap and changes to the management
reporting structure, we are now reporting three operating segments which include
metal food containers, plastic containers and closures. Financial information
for the metal food container business has been restated to reflect the closures
business as a separate segment. You should also read Note 12 to our Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2006 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
We expect to acquire additional Amcor White Cap closures operations located in
Brazil, China, the Philippines and Venezuela upon satisfaction of certain
specified conditions as provided in the White Cap Purchase Agreement. The
aggregate purchase price for these Amcor White Cap closures operations and
related working capital will be approximately EUR 19 million plus assumed
indebtedness, subject to adjustment as provided in the White Cap Purchase
Agreement.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared with Three Months Ended September
30, 2005
Overview. Consolidated net sales were $856.4 million in the third quarter of
2006, representing a 7.4 percent increase as compared to the third quarter of
2005 due primarily to the acquisition of the international closures operations
and the pass through of higher raw material costs in all of our businesses,
partially offset by volume declines in the metal food and the plastic container
businesses. Income from operations for the third quarter of 2006 of $86.9
million increased by $0.8 million, or 1.0 percent, as compared to the same
period in 2005 due to the international closures acquisition, offset by
rationalization charges, lower volumes in both the metal food and plastic
container businesses, inflation in manufacturing costs and professional fees
related to the implementation of certain tax initiatives. Net income for the
third quarter of 2006 was $49.7 million, or $1.31 per diluted share, as compared
to $45.2 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, for the same period in 2005. Net
income for the third quarter of 2006 includes a full three months of operations
of the newly acquired international closures operations and a benefit of $0.15
per diluted share attributable to tax initiatives implemented in the third
quarter, net of fees, reduced by rationalization charges of $0.03 per diluted
share, net of tax.
Net Sales. The $58.9 million increase in consolidated net sales in the third
quarter of 2006 as compared to the third quarter of 2005 was the result of an
increase in sales in our closures business, partially offset by a decrease in
sales in our metal food and plastic container businesses.
Net sales for the metal food container business in the third quarter of 2006
decreased $15.9 million, or 2.8 percent as compared to net sales for the same
period in 2005. This decrease was principally due to a decrease in volumes,
partially offset by higher average selling prices due to the pass through of
higher raw material and other inflationary costs. The volume shortfall was
primarily due to poor growing conditions in California, reducing yields for
certain fruits and vegetables and delaying the timing of packing these products.
Volume for the fourth quarter of 2006 is expected to include some of these can
units delayed from the third quarter.
Net sales for the plastic container business in the third quarter of 2006
decreased $2.4 million, or 1.6 percent, as compared to the same period in 2005.
This decrease was primarily the result of a decline in unit volumes as compared
with the third quarter of 2005.
Net sales for the closures business increased $77.2 million in the third quarter
of 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005. This increase was primarily a
result of the international closures acquisition.
Gross Profit. Gross profit margin remained constant at 14.6 percent in the third
quarter of 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of consolidated net sales increased to
4.2 percent for the third quarter of 2006 as compared to 3.8 percent for the
same period in 2005. This increase was due primarily to the inclusion of the
international closures operations which incurs such expenses at a higher
percentage of its sales as well as the incurrence of additional professional
fees for the implementation of certain tax initiatives in the third quarter of
2006.
Income from Operations. Income from operations for the third quarter of 2006
increased by $0.8 million as compared to the third quarter of 2005, while
operating margin decreased to 10.2 percent from 10.8 percent over the same
periods.
-29-
Income from operations of the metal food container business for the third
quarter of 2006 decreased $7.2 million, or 10.2 percent, as compared to the same
period in 2005, and operating margin decreased to 11.4 percent from 12.3 percent
over the same periods. These decreases resulted primarily from lower unit
volumes, incremental rationalization charges of $1.4 million during the quarter
related to the closing of our St. Paul, Minnesota manufacturing facility and
inflation in certain manufacturing costs.
Income from operations of the plastic container business for the third quarter
of 2006 decreased $0.2 million as compared to the same period in 2005, and
operating margin decreased to 5.0 percent as compared to 5.1 percent over the
same periods. Income from operations and operating margin were essentially flat
over the periods, despite lower unit volumes, incremental rationalization
charges of $0.3 million during the quarter related to the closing of our
Valencia, California facility and inflation in certain manufacturing costs, as a
result of the benefits of continued productivity improvements and cost reduction
initiatives.
Income from operations of the closures business for the third quarter of 2006
increased $9.4 million to $19.9 million, as compared to $10.5 million in the
same quarter last year. This increase was primarily a result of the effect of a
full quarter from the operations of the international closures acquisition and
continued cost reductions in the domestic operations. Operating margin for the
third quarter of 2006 decreased to 12.9 percent from 13.6 percent in the prior
year period due primarily to the inclusion of the international operations,
which generally incur selling, general and administrative expense at a higher
percentage of sales as compared to the domestic operations.
Interest and Other Debt Expense. Interest and other debt expense for the third
quarter of 2006 increased $5.3 million to $17.9 million as compared to the same
period in 2005. This increase was due to higher outstanding borrowings as a
result of our international closures acquisition and the effect of higher market
interest rates.
Provision for Income Taxes. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2006
was 28.0 percent as compared to 38.4 percent in the same period in 2005. The
2006 effective tax rate was impacted by the cumulative income tax benefit of
$6.9 million, primarily related to the completion in the third quarter of 2006
of tax initiatives for research and development credits.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared with Nine Months Ended September
30, 2005
Overview. Consolidated net sales were $2.02 billion in the first nine months of
2006, representing a 6.0 percent increase as compared to the first nine months
of 2005 principally due to the acquisition of the international closures
operations, strong volumes in the domestic closures operations and higher
average selling prices in both the metal food and plastic container businesses
primarily as a result of the pass through of higher raw material costs,
partially offset by lower volumes in the metal food and plastic container
businesses. Income from operations for the first nine months of 2006 decreased
by $2.8 million, or 1.7 percent, as compared to the same period in 2005. The
decrease in income from operations was primarily due to rationalization charges
of $10.1 million and lower unit volumes in the metal food and plastic container
businesses, largely offset by the inclusion of the results of the international
closures operations, strong operating results in the domestic closures
operations and continued benefits from rationalization and integration
activities at our manufacturing facilities. Net income for the first nine months
of 2006 was $83.2 million, or $2.20 per diluted share, as compared to $73.6
million, or $1.96 per diluted share, for the same period in 2005. Net income for
2006 included four months of operations of the acquired international closures
business and a tax benefit net of fees of $0.15 per diluted share, reduced by
rationalization charges of $0.18 per diluted share, net of tax. Net income for
2005 included a non-cash, pre-tax charge of $11.0 million for the loss on early
extinguishment of debt as a result of the refinancing of our senior secured
credit facility.
-30-
Net Sales. The $114.8 million increase in consolidated net sales in the first
nine months of 2006 as compared to the first nine months of 2005 was the result
of an increase in sales in our closures and metal food container businesses,
partially offset by a decrease in sales in our plastic container business.
Net sales for the metal food container business increased $9.5 million, or 0.8
percent, in the first nine months of 2006 as compared to the same period in
2005. This increase was primarily attributable to higher average selling prices
due to the pass through of higher raw material and other inflationary costs,
partially offset by volume declines. These volume declines were partially a
result of delays in the packing of seasonal fruit and vegetable products from
the third quarter of 2006, a portion of which is expected to be canned and
packed in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Net sales for the plastic container business in the first nine months of 2006
decreased $8.7 million, or 1.9 percent, as compared to the same period in 2005.
This decrease was primarily the result of lower volumes due to soft demand in
the personal care market, which we believe was heavily impacted by the backup in
the supply chain as retailers implemented inventory reduction programs. This
decline was partially offset by higher average selling prices due to the pass
through of higher resin costs.
Net sales for the closures business in the first nine months of 2006 increased
$114.0 million, or 53.1 percent, as compared to the same period in 2005. This
increase was attributable to the acquisition of the international closures
operations and higher unit volumes in the domestic operations.
Gross Profit. Gross profit margin remained flat at 13.4 percent in the first
nine months of 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of consolidated net sales increased 0.2
percentage points to 4.7 percent for the first nine months of 2006 as compared
to 4.5 percent for the same period in 2005, due primarily to the inclusion of
the international closures operations which incurs such expenses at a higher
percentage of its sales.
Income from Operations. Income from operations for the first nine months of 2006
decreased by $2.8 million as compared to the first nine months of 2005, and
operating margin decreased to 8.2 percent from 8.9 percent over the same
periods. These decreases resulted primarily from the inclusion of
rationalization charges totaling $10.1 million in the first nine months of 2006
and volume declines in both the metal food and plastic container businesses.
Results for the first nine months of 2005 included rationalization charges of
$0.5 million.
Income from operations of the metal food container business for the first nine
months of 2006 decreased $22.7 million, or 18.4 percent, as compared to the same
period in 2005, and operating margin decreased to 8.1 percent from 10.0 percent
over the same periods. These decreases were principally due to the inclusion of
the rationalization charge of $7.2 million recorded in the first nine months of
2006 for the exiting of the St. Paul, Minnesota manufacturing facility, a
decline in unit volumes as a result of poor growing conditions in California and
inflation in certain manufacturing costs.
Income from operations of the plastic container business for the first nine
months of 2006 increased $3.3 million, or 11.2 percent, as compared to the same
period in 2005, and operating margin increased to 7.3 percent from 6.4 percent
over the same periods. Income from operations and operating margin benefited
from the lag effect of the recovery of fourth quarter 2005 resin price increases
in the first quarter of 2006 as resin prices declined during that quarter and
from benefits from productivity improvements and headcount reductions. These
improvements were partially offset by lower sales volumes, inflation in certain
manufacturing costs and the inclusion of $2.9 million of rationalization charges
recorded in the first nine months of 2006 for the shut down of the Valencia,
California manufacturing facility.
-31-
Income from operations of the closures business for the first nine months of
2006 increased $17.1 million, or 71.3 percent, as compared to the same period in
2005, and operating margin increased to 12.5 percent from 11.2 percent over the
same periods. These increases were primarily due to the acquisition of the
international closures operations and an increase in volumes and continued
benefits from rationalization and integration benefits in our manufacturing
facilities in the domestic closures operations.
Interest and Other Debt Expense. Interest and other debt expense for the first
nine months of 2006 decreased $6.2 million to $43.4 million as compared to the
same period in 2005. This decrease resulted primarily from the inclusion in 2005
of $11.0 million for the loss on early extinguishment of debt in connection with
the refinancing of our senior secured credit facility in June 2005. Interest and
other debt expense for the first nine months of 2006 was impacted by higher
outstanding borrowings due to the acquisition of the international closures
operations and the effects of higher market interest rates.
Provision for Income Taxes. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of
2006 was 32.4 percent as compared to 38.5 percent in the same period in 2005.
The 2006 effective tax rate was impacted by the cumulative income tax benefit of
$6.9 million, primarily related to the completion in the third quarter of 2006
of tax initiatives for research and development credits.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Our principal sources of liquidity have been cash from operations and borrowings
under our debt instruments, including our Credit Agreement. Our liquidity
requirements arise primarily from our obligations under the indebtedness
incurred in connection with our acquisitions and the refinancing of that
indebtedness, capital investment in new and existing equipment and the funding
of our seasonal working capital needs.
On June 1, 2006, we completed a second amendment to our Credit Agreement. The
second amendment, among other things, permitted us to borrow an incremental term
loan of up to EUR 200.0 million for the acquisition of White Cap, while leaving
the uncommitted incremental loan facility of up to $350 million available under
the Credit Agreement. On June 1, 2006, we borrowed the full EUR 200.0 million
incremental term loan and used the funds to finance the purchase price for the
acquisition of White Cap.
Interest on the EUR 200.0 million incremental term loan will accrue at the Euro
Rate, as defined in our Credit Agreement, plus the applicable margin for A term
loans maintained as Eurodollar Loans under the Credit Agreement. The incremental
term loan is (i) secured by all of the collateral pledged under the Credit
Agreement and (ii) guaranteed by the guarantors under the Credit Agreement, in
each case to the same extent that A term loans and B term loans under the Credit
Agreement are secured and guaranteed. You should read Note 6 to our Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2006 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we used cash from operations of
$27.3 million, net borrowings of revolving loans of $182.5 million, borrowings
of long-term debt of $257.6 million and proceeds from stock option exercises of
$1.6 million to fund our acquisition of White Cap for $261.8 million, net of
cash acquired, net capital expenditures of $86.0 million, decreases in
outstanding checks of $98.1 million, debt issuance costs of $2.3 million
incurred in connection with the second amendment to the Credit Agreement and
dividends paid on our common stock of $13.5 million and to increase cash
balances by $7.3 million.
-32-
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we used cash from operations of
$52.3 million, proceeds of $550.0 million from the refinancing of our senior
secured credit facility, net borrowings of revolving loans of $217.7 million and
proceeds from stock option exercises of $3.3 million to fund the repayment of
term loans of $638.7 million, net capital expenditures of $60.7 million,
decreases in outstanding checks of $80.2 million, dividends paid on our common
stock of $11.1 million and debt issuance costs of $4.2 million and to increase
cash balances by $28.4 million.
Because we sell metal containers used in fruit and vegetable pack processing, we
have seasonal sales. As is common in the industry, we must utilize working
capital to build inventory and then carry accounts receivable for some customers
beyond the end of the packing season. Due to our seasonal requirements, we incur
short-term indebtedness to finance our working capital requirements. During the
third quarter of 2006, we utilized approximately $276.5 million of revolving
loans under the Credit Agreement for our peak seasonal working capital
requirements.
At September 30, 2006, we had $187.9 million of revolving loans outstanding
under the Credit Agreement. After taking into account outstanding letters of
credit, the available portion of the revolving loan facility under the Credit
Agreement at September 30, 2006 was $221.7 million. We may use the available
portion of our revolving loan facility, after taking into account our seasonal
needs and outstanding letters of credit, for acquisitions or other permitted
purposes. In addition, we intend to finance our acquisition of the remaining
Amcor White Cap closures operations with cash generated by the business or
through revolving loan borrowings under our Credit Agreement.
During the first nine months of 2006, we paid aggregate cash dividends on our
common stock totaling $13.5 million. On November 2, 2006, our Board of Directors
declared a quarterly cash dividend on our common stock of $0.12 per share,
payable on December 15, 2006 to holders of record of our common stock on
December 1, 2006. The cash payment for this dividend is expected to be
approximately $4.5 million.
We believe that cash generated from operations and funds from borrowings
available under the Credit Agreement will be sufficient to meet our expected
operating needs, planned capital expenditures estimated at $130 million for
2006, debt service, tax obligations, share repurchases required under our 2004
Stock Incentive Plan and common stock dividends for the foreseeable future. We
continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities in the consumer goods packaging
market and may incur additional indebtedness, including indebtedness under the
Credit Agreement, to finance any such acquisition. However, in the absence of
such acquisition opportunities, we expect to use our cash flow in 2006 to repay
debt, and in such case we estimate that our debt at year-end 2006 would be
approximately $900 million.
We are in compliance with all financial and operating covenants contained in our
financing agreements and believe that we will continue to be in compliance
during 2006 with all of these covenants.
Rationalization Charges and Acquisition Reserves
In October 2006, we approved and announced to employees a plan to exit our
Stockton, California metal food container manufacturing facility at the end of
the second quarter of 2007. The plan includes the termination or relocation of
approximately 110 plant employees and other related plant exit costs. We
currently estimate rationalization charges of approximately $4.6 million for
employee severance and benefits, $1.5 million for plant exit costs and $0.6
million for the non-cash write-down in carrying value of assets. Cash payments
totaling $6.1 million are expected primarily in 2007.
-33-
In June 2006, in an effort to streamline operations and reduce costs, we
approved a plan to exit our St. Paul, Minnesota metal food container
manufacturing facility in the second quarter of 2007. The plan includes the
termination of approximately 60 employees, the consolidation of certain
operations into existing facilities and the elimination of the remaining
operations and the exit of the facility. We estimate that the total costs for
the rationalization of the facility will be $13.2 million. These costs include
$4.6 million of pension and postretirement curtailment expense, $3.0 million of
employee severance and special termination benefits, $2.6 million for plant exit
costs, $2.6 million for the acceleration of depreciation to write-down the
building for sale and equipment for abandonment upon the exit of the facility
and $0.4 million for the non-cash write-down in carrying value of assets. Total
charges recognized during the first nine months of 2006 were $4.6 million for
non-cash pension and postretirement curtailment expense, $1.4 million for
employee severance and special termination benefits and $1.2 million for the
non-cash write-down and accelerated depreciation of the building and equipment.
Additional charges of $1.8 million are expected in the fourth quarter of 2006,
with the remaining charges expected primarily in 2007. Cash expenditures of $4.3
million are expected primarily in 2007.
In February 2006, we approved and announced a plan to exit our Valencia,
California plastic container manufacturing facility. The plan included the
termination of approximately 90 plant employees and other related plant exit
costs. This decision resulted in a charge to earnings during the first nine
months of 2006 of $0.5 million for employee severance and benefits, $2.3 million
for the non-cash write-down in carrying value of assets and $0.1 million for
plant exit costs. The plant has ceased operations and estimated remaining cash
payments of $1.4 million are expected to be paid in the fourth quarter of 2006
primarily for the buyout of the property lease.
Under our rationalization and acquisition plans, we made cash payments of $1.5
million and $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. Total future cash spending of $12.2 million is expected for our
outstanding rationalization plans, including our recent Stockton, California
plan, and 2003 acquisition plan.
You should also read Note 3 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 included elsewhere in
this Quarterly Report.
We continually evaluate cost reduction opportunities in our business, including
rationalizations of our existing facilities through plant closings and
downsizings. We use a disciplined approach to identify opportunities that
generate attractive cash returns.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment,"
utilizing the modified prospective transition method, which does not result in
the restatement of previously issued financial statements. Therefore, for the
first nine months of 2006, we recognized compensation expense based on the
requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after
January 1, 2006 and for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective
date that were unvested on January 1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R)'s
fair value method did not have a significant impact on our results of
operations, financial position, cash flows or basic and diluted net income per
share. You should also read Note 11 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 included
elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." SFAS
No. 157 establishes a single authoritative definition for fair value, sets out a
framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about
fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for us on January 1, 2008. We
are currently evaluating the impact SFAS No. 157 will have on our consolidated
financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for
Deferred Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB
Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)." SFAS No. 158 requires the recognition of
the funded status of deferred benefit postretirement plans in the statement of
financial position, and recognition of changes in the funded status in the year
in which the changes occur through accumulated other comprehensive income. SFAS
No. 158 requires prospective application, recognition and additional disclosure
requirements effective for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. We are
currently evaluating the impact SFAS No. 158 will have on our consolidated
financial statements.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109." FIN
No. 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a
recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement
recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a
tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and
disclosure. FIN No. 48 is effective for us on January 1, 2007. We are currently
evaluating the impact FIN No. 48 will have on our consolidated financial
statements.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
----------------------------------------------------------
Market risks relating to our operations result primarily from changes in
interest rates and, especially since our acquisition of the White Cap closures
operations, from foreign currency exchange rates. In the normal course of
business, we also have limited risk related to commodity price changes for items
such as natural gas. In an effort to minimize our foreign currency risk in
Europe, we have financed the acquisition of White Cap with debt under our Credit
Agreement denominated in Euros. In addition, we have implemented certain
internal hedging strategies to minimize our foreign currency risk related to
debt in foreign operations denominated in currencies other than the Euro.
We employ established policies and procedures to manage our exposure to these
risks. Interest rate, foreign currency and commodity pricing transactions are
used only to the extent considered necessary to meet our objectives. We do not
utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative
purposes.
Information regarding our interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate
risk and commodity pricing risk has been disclosed in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. Since such filing, other than
transactions related to our acquisition of White Cap as described above and as
discussed in Notes 2 and 6 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 included elsewhere in
this Quarterly Report, there has not been a material change to our interest rate
risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity pricing risk or to our
policies and procedures to manage our exposure to these risks.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
-----------------------
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation
of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon
that evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that all material
information required to be disclosed in this Quarterly Report has been made
known to them in a timely fashion.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during
the period covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or
are reasonably likely to materially affect, these internal controls. During the
second and third quarter of 2006, we acquired White Cap. You should read Note 2
to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2006 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further
details on the White Cap acquisition. We are currently in the process of
integrating the internal controls and procedures of White Cap into our internal
controls over financial reporting. As provided under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002 and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, we will include the internal controls and procedures of White Cap in
our annual assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting for our 2007 fiscal year.
