NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Information at September 30, 2007 and 2006 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, 2006 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.
Certain prior years' amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current
year's presentation.
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, 2006.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. We review goodwill and other
indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment as of July 1 of each year and
more frequently if circumstances indicate a possible impairment. We determined
that our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets were not impaired
in our third quarter 2007 assessment.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2006, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued FASB Interpretation No., or FIN, 48,
"Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB
Statement No. 109." FIN 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. We adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result, we
recognized a reduction to opening retained earnings at January 1, 2007 of $1.8
million to recognize additional long-term tax liabilities. See Note 8 for
further information.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement. In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards, or 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.

Note 2. Acquisitions
White Cap
---------
During 2006, we acquired the White Cap closures operations in Europe, Turkey,
China and the Philippines from Amcor Limited, or Amcor. The majority of this
acquisition was completed in June 2006. In January 2007, we acquired the
majority share of the White Cap closures operations in Venezuela from Amcor. The
acquisition of the remaining White Cap closures operations in Brazil is subject
to the satisfaction of specified conditions as provided in the purchase
agreement with Amcor. White Cap is a leading supplier of an extensive range of
vacuum closures to consumer goods packaging companies in the food and beverage
industries in the markets it serves. White Cap has been recombined with our
previously acquired White Cap closures operations in the United States to create
a global leader in vacuum closures for hot filled and retortable food and
beverage products.
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 consolidated financial statements as of the respective dates of
acquisition. We have completed the valuation of certain assets and liabilities
including property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and pension
obligations. The valuation of certain other assets and liabilities related to
operations acquired in the fourth quarter of 2006 and first quarter of 2007 is
still in process, and therefore the actual fair value may vary from these
preliminary estimates. Adjustments to the acquired net assets resulting from
final valuations are not expected to be significant.
Cousins-Currie Limited
----------------------
In December 2006, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Cousins-Currie
Limited, or Cousins-Currie, a leading manufacturer in Canada of larger-size
custom designed plastic containers.
The acquisition of Cousins-Currie was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, the purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to
the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value
at the acquisition date. We completed the valuation of intangible assets in 2007
and as a result reallocated $17.7 million from goodwill to other intangible
assets, which assets were primarily customer relationships with an estimated
useful life of 19 years. The valuation of certain other assets and liabilities
is still in process, and therefore the actual fair value may vary from these
preliminary estimates. Adjustments to the acquired net assets resulting from
final valuations are not expected to be significant.

Note 3. Rationalization Charges (continued)
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. We expect to cease operations at this facility in the
fourth 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
$13.7 million. These costs include $5.7 million of non-cash pension and
postretirement curtailment expense, $2.6 million of employee severance and
special termination benefits, $2.4 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. As of December 31, 2006, total
charges recognized to date included $4.6 million of non-cash pension and
postretirement curtailment expense, $1.9 million of employee severance and
special termination benefits and $2.1 million for the non-cash write-down and
accelerated depreciation of the building and equipment. Rationalization charges
recognized during 2007 were $1.8 million for employee severance and benefits
which included $1.1 million of non-cash pension curtailment expense, $0.1
million for plant exit costs and $0.9 million for the non-cash write-down and
accelerated depreciation of the building and equipment. Additional charges of
$2.3 million for plant exit costs are expected through 2008. Cash expenditures
of $4.0 million are expected through 2008.
In October 2006, we approved and announced to employees a plan to exit our
Stockton, California metal food container manufacturing facility. We have ceased
operations at this facility. The plan includes the termination or relocation of
approximately 110 employees and other related plant exit costs. We estimate that
the total costs for the rationalization of the facility will be $5.4 million.
These costs include $4.0 million for employee severance and benefits, $1.0
million for plant exit costs and $0.4 million for the non-cash write-down in
carrying value of assets. As of December 31, 2006, we recognized $3.4 million
for employee severance and benefits and $0.1 million for the non-cash write down
in carrying value of assets. Rationalization charges recognized during 2007 were
$0.6 million for employee severance and benefits, $0.1 million for plant exit
costs and $0.3 million for the non-cash write-down in carrying value of assets.
Additional charges of $0.9 million are expected through 2008 for plant exit
costs. Cash expenditures of $4.4 million are expected through 2008. In addition,
we expect to sell the Stockton building in 2008 for estimated proceeds in excess
of the net book value of the facility.

2001 Rationalization Plan
-------------------------
In 2007, the rationalization reserve for the plan to exit our Fairfield, Ohio
plastic container manufacturing facility was adjusted to recognize additional
charges for the change in expected sublease income. The lease expires in 2009.

Note 6. Long-Term Debt (continued)
At September 30, 2007, amounts expected to be repaid within one year consisted
of $189.9 million of bank revolving loans related primarily to seasonal working
capital needs and $0.4 million of bank term loans under our senior secured
credit facility, or the Credit Agreement, and $20.5 million of foreign bank
revolving loans.
In March 2007, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements for notional
principal amounts of $25 million and Cdn $25 million, respectively, to fix
interest on variable rate debt at 4.90 percent and 4.20 percent, respectively.
These interest rate swaps mature in March 2010. In September 2007, we entered
into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional principal amount of $50
million to fix interest on variable rate debt at 4.66 percent. This interest
rate swap matures in September 2010. These swaps are accounted for as cash flow
hedges and are with a financial institution which is expected to fully perform
under the terms thereof.
At September 30, 2007, the aggregate notional principal amount of outstanding
interest rate swap agreements was $555 million, of which $128 million matures in
the fourth quarter of 2007 (non-U.S. dollar agreements have been translated into
U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at September 30, 2007).

We recognized curtailment expense in 2007 and 2006 for our pension benefits and
in 2006 for our postretirement benefits related to the planned exit of our St.
Paul, Minnesota metal food container manufacturing facility. The curtailment
expense for postretirement benefits included an adjustment to reduce the expense
by $0.3 million in September 2006 to reflect the total 2006 expense of $0.9
million.
In September 2006, we recognized income of $1.9 million for the curtailment of
postretirement benefits in one of our closures manufacturing facilities.
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, 2006, based on current tax law, there are no significant minimum required
contributions to our pension plans in 2007. However, this is subject to change
based on a number of factors, including 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 2007, we made no contributions to fund our pension
plans.

Note 8. Income Taxes
We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result, we
recognized an increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $1.8
million, which was accounted for as an adjustment to the opening balance of
retained earnings at January 1, 2007. The total amount of unrecognized tax
benefits as of January 1, 2007, including the cumulative effect of the adoption
of FIN 48, was $30.9 million, of which $15.8 million represented liabilities
that if recognized would impact the effective tax rate.
Holdings and its subsidiaries file U.S. Federal income tax returns, as well as
income tax returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. With limited
exceptions and due to the impact of net operating loss and other credit
carryforwards, we may be effectively subject to U.S. Federal income tax
examinations for periods after 1990. We are subject to examination by state and
local tax authorities generally for the period mandated by statute, with the
exception of states where waivers of the statute of limitations have been
executed. These states and the earliest open period include Wisconsin (1995),
Texas (2001), New York (2001) and Indiana (2002). Our foreign subsidiaries are
generally not subject to examination by tax authorities for periods before 2001,
and we have contractual indemnities with third parties with respect to open
periods that predate our ownership of certain foreign subsidiaries. Subsequent
periods may be examined by the relevant tax authorities. The Internal Revenue
Service, or IRS, commenced an examination in the fourth quarter of 2006 of
Holdings' income tax return for the period ended December 31, 2004. It is
reasonably possible that this IRS audit and IRS audits for prior periods will be
concluded within the next twelve months, and that the conclusion of these audits
may result in a significant change to our reported unrecognized tax benefits.
Due to the ongoing nature of these audits, we are unable to estimate the amount
of this potential impact.
We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized taxes as
additional tax expense. At December 31, 2006, we had $1.1 million accrued for
potential interest and penalties.
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.
Note 9. Dividends
On November 6, 2007, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend
on our common stock of $0.16 per share, payable on December 14, 2007 to holders
of record of our common stock on November 30, 2007. The cash payment for this
dividend is expected to be approximately $6.1 million.

Note 10. Treasury Stock
During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we issued 41,612 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 11,499 shares of our common stock at an average
cost of $49.11 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,
2007, 5,305,953 shares were held in treasury.
Note 11. 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. We apply the recognition and measurement
principles of SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment," which requires recognition
of compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of the share-based
payment.
During the first nine months of 2007, we granted 65,800 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 $3.2 million. In June 2007, we granted 5,142
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.

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, 2006 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 manufacturer of metal and plastic consumer goods packaging
products. We produce steel and aluminum containers for human and pet food;
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; and metal,
composite and plastic vacuum closures for food and beverage 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 worldwide manufacturer of metal, composite and
plastic vacuum closures 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 may use our cash flow to repay debt. If acquisition
opportunities are not identified over a longer period of time, we would consider
other permitted uses of our cash flow, such as repurchases of shares of our
common stock or increased dividends to our stockholders.
During the first half of 2006, we acquired the White Cap closures operations in
Europe and Turkey from Amcor. In the fourth quarter of 2006, we acquired the
White Cap closures operations in China and the Philippines from Amcor. In
January 2007, we acquired the majority share of the White Cap closures
operations in Venezuela from Amcor. The acquisition of the remaining White Cap
closures operations in Brazil is subject to the satisfaction of specified
conditions as provided in the purchase agreement with Amcor. White Cap is a
leading supplier of an extensive range of vacuum closures to consumer goods
packaging companies in the food and beverage industries in the markets it
serves. White Cap has been recombined with our previously acquired White Cap
closures operations in the United States to create a global leader in vacuum
closures for hot filled and retortable food and beverage products.
In December 2006, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Cousins-Currie,
a leading manufacturer in Canada of larger-size custom designed plastic
containers.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared with Three Months Ended September
30, 2006
Overview. Consolidated net sales were $904.8 million in the third quarter of
2007, representing a 5.7 percent increase as compared to the third quarter of
2006 due primarily to higher average selling prices resulting from the pass
through of inflation in raw material and other manufacturing costs, an improved
mix of products sold in the metal food container business, the inclusion of
sales from our fourth quarter 2006 and first quarter 2007 acquisitions, the
favorable impact of foreign exchange translation on international revenues and
improved volumes across all businesses. Income from operations for the third
quarter of 2007 of $92.6 million increased by $5.7 million, or 6.6 percent, as
compared to the same period in 2006 due to improved volumes, benefits from cost
reductions and productivity improvements and a decrease in rationalization
charges, partially offset by the impact from the inventory reduction in the
metal food container business. The results for 2007 included rationalization
charges of $0.7 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, net of tax. The results for
2006 included 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 $1.7 million, or $0.03 per diluted share net of tax.
Net income for the third quarter of 2007 was $47.6 million, or $1.25 per diluted
share, as compared to $49.7 million, or $1.31 per diluted share, for the same
period in 2006.
Net Sales. The $48.4 million increase in consolidated net sales in the third
quarter of 2007 as compared to the third quarter of 2006 was the result of
higher net sales across all businesses and the favorable impact of foreign
exchange translation on international revenues.
Net sales for the metal food container business in the third quarter of 2007
increased $27.2 million, or 4.9 percent, as compared to net sales for the same
period in 2006. This increase was the result of higher average selling prices
due to an improved mix of products sold and the pass through of inflation in raw
material and other manufacturing costs as well as slightly higher unit volumes.
Net sales for the plastic container business in the third quarter of 2007
increased $9.1 million, or 6.3 percent, as compared to the same period in 2006.
This increase was primarily a result of higher unit volumes attributable to the
acquisition of Cousins-Currie.
Net sales for the closures business increased $12.1 million, or 7.8 percent, in
the third quarter of 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. This increase
was primarily a result of the inclusion of sales from the White Cap operations
acquired in the fourth quarter of 2006 and the first quarter of 2007, the
favorable foreign exchange translation on international revenues of
approximately $5.6 million, increased unit volumes and the pass through of
higher raw material costs.
Gross Profit. Gross profit margin decreased 0.2 percentage points to 14.4
percent in the third quarter of 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006 for
the reasons discussed below in "Income from Operations."
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of consolidated net sales decreased to
4.1 percent for the third quarter of 2007 as compared to 4.2 percent for the
same period in 2006, due primarily to additional professional fees incurred in
2006 for the implementation of certain tax initiatives.
Income from Operations. Income from operations for the third quarter of 2007
increased by $5.7 million as compared to the third quarter of 2006 as a result
of higher income from operations from our plastic container and closures
operations and a decrease in rationalization charges of $1.0 million from the
prior period. Operating margin remained constant at 10.2 percent for each of the
same periods.
-22-
Income from operations of the metal food container business for the third
quarter of 2007 decreased $0.8 million, or 1.3 percent, as compared to the same
period in 2006, and operating margin decreased to 10.7 percent from 11.4 percent
over the same periods. These decreases were due principally to the impact of
approximately $4.7 million of costs primarily associated with the reduction in
the provisional inventory built during the fourth quarter of 2006 and first
quarter of 2007 in connection with certain union negotiations that were
successfully concluded in the second quarter of 2007. These decreases were
offset by an improved mix of products sold, increased sales volumes and benefits
derived from ongoing cost reduction initiatives. The third quarter of 2007
included rationalization charges of $0.7 million for the ongoing costs
associated with the plans to close the St. Paul, Minnesota and Stockton,
California metal food container facilities. The third quarter of 2006 included
rationalization charges of $1.4 million for the costs associated with the plans
to close the St. Paul facility.
Income from operations of the plastic container business for the third quarter
of 2007 increased $3.1 million, or 43.1 percent, as compared to the same period
in 2006, and operating margin increased to 6.7 percent from 5.0 percent over the
same periods. These increases were primarily a result of the impact from the
Cousins-Currie acquisition, productivity improvements and cost reductions.
Income from operations of the closures business for the third quarter of 2007
increased $1.9 million, or 9.5 percent, as compared to the same quarter a year
ago, and operating margin increased to 13.1 percent from 12.9 percent over the
same periods. These increases were primarily the result of the inclusion of
international operations acquired in the fourth quarter of 2006 and the first
quarter of 2007, increased unit volumes, the benefits of cost reduction
initiatives and improved manufacturing efficiencies.
Interest and Other Debt Expense. Interest and other debt expense for the third
quarter of 2007 decreased $0.6 million to $17.3 million as compared to the same
period in 2006. This decrease resulted primarily from lower market interest
rates.
Provision for Income Taxes. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2007
was 36.8 percent as compared to 28.0 percent for the same period last year. 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, 2007 Compared with Nine Months Ended September
30, 2006
Overview. Consolidated net sales were $2.24 billion in the first nine months of
2007, representing a 10.7 percent increase as compared to the first nine months
of 2006 primarily due to the inclusion of sales from the acquisitions completed
in 2006, higher average selling prices resulting from the pass through of
inflation in raw material and other manufacturing costs in the metal food
container and closures businesses, an improved mix of products sold in the metal
food container business and improved volumes across all businesses. Income from
operations for the first nine months of 2007 increased by $46.8 million, or 28.1
percent, as compared to the same period in 2006. The increase in income from
operations was a result of higher income from operations across all businesses,
largely due to the acquisitions completed in 2006, increased unit volumes,
higher rationalization charges incurred in 2006, continued benefits from cost
reductions and the lagged contractual pass through of inflation in other
manufacturing costs experienced in 2006. The results for the first nine months
of 2007 and 2006 included rationalization charges of $4.0 million and $10.1
million, respectively. Net income for the first nine months of 2007 was $102.9
million, or $2.70 per diluted share, as compared to $83.2 million, or $2.20 per
diluted share, for the same period in 2006.

Net Sales. The $215.7 million increase in consolidated net sales in the first
nine months of 2007 as compared to the first nine months of 2006 was primarily
due to higher net sales across all of our businesses.
Net sales for the metal food container business increased $53.0 million, or 4.3
percent, in the first nine months of 2007 as compared to the same period in
2006. This increase was primarily attributable to higher average selling prices
due to the pass through of inflation in raw material and other manufacturing
costs, an increase in unit volumes and an improved mix of products sold.
Net sales for the plastic container business in the first nine months of 2007
increased $20.4 million, or 4.5 percent, as compared to the same period in 2006.
This increase was primarily the result of the inclusion of sales from
Cousins-Currie and improved unit volumes, partially offset by the impact from
the rationalization of the Valencia, California manufacturing facility in the
second quarter of 2006.
Net sales for the closures business in the first nine months of 2007 increased
$142.3 million, or 43.3 percent, as compared to the same period in 2006. This
increase was attributable to the White Cap acquisition, higher average selling
prices resulting from the pass through of inflation in raw material and other
manufacturing costs and an increase in unit volumes.
Gross Profit. Gross Profit margin increased 1.3 percentage points to 14.7
percent for the first nine months of 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006
for the reasons discussed below in "Income from Operations."
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of consolidated net sales increased to
5.0 percent for the first nine months of 2007 as compared to 4.7 percent for the
same period in 2006, due primarily to the inclusion of the operations from the
White Cap acquisition which incur such expenses at a higher percentage of its
sales as compared to our other operations.
Income from Operations. Income from operations for the first nine months of 2007
increased by $46.8 million as compared to the first nine months of 2006 as a
result of higher income from operations across all businesses. Operating margin
increased to 9.5 percent from 8.2 percent over the same periods as a result of
increased margins in our metal food and plastic container businesses.
Income from operations of the metal food container business for the first nine
months of 2007 increased $18.6 million, or 18.5 percent, as compared to the same
period in 2006, and operating margin increased to 9.2 percent from 8.1 percent
over the same periods. These increases were principally due to higher
rationalization charges recorded in the first nine months of 2006 for the shut
down of the St. Paul, Minnesota manufacturing facility, the lagged contractual
pass through of inflation in other manufacturing costs experienced in 2006,
benefits derived from ongoing cost reduction initiatives and increased sales
volumes, slightly offset by the impact from the reduction in the provisional
inventory built primarily in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Income from operations of the plastic container business for the first nine
months of 2007 increased $9.7 million, or 29.6 percent, as compared to the same
period in 2006, and operating margin increased to 9.0 percent from 7.3 percent
over the same periods. The increases in income from operations and operating
margin were primarily due to the impact from the Cousins-Currie acquisition,
rationalization charges of $2.9 million incurred in 2006 for the shut down of
the Valencia, California manufacturing facility, volume growth and continued
benefits from cost reductions, slightly offset by a less favorable mix of
products sold.
-24-
Income from operations of the closures business for the first nine months of
2007 increased $17.4 million, or 42.3 percent, as compared to the same periods
in 2006 due primarily to the White Cap acquisition and improved unit volumes.
Operating margin for the first nine months of 2007 decreased slightly to 12.4
percent from 12.5 percent over the same period in 2006 primarily as a result of
the incurrence of higher selling, general and administrative costs in the
acquired White Cap operations.
Interest and Other Debt Expense. Interest and other debt expense for the first
nine months of 2007 increased $6.9 million to $50.3 million as compared to the
same period in 2006. This increase resulted primarily from higher average
borrowings as a result of the 2006 acquisitions.
Provision for Income Taxes. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of
2007 was 36.8 percent as compared to 32.4 percent in the same period in 2006.
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.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we used cash from operations of
$57.2 million, net borrowings of revolving loans of $182.0 million and net
proceeds from stock-based compensation of $2.6 million to fund net capital
expenditures of $109.8 million, our acquisition of the White Cap operations in
Venezuela for $7.8 million, net of cash acquired, decreases in outstanding
checks of $95.9 million and dividends paid on our common stock of $18.2 million
and to increase cash balances by $10.1 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we used cash from operations of
$26.6 million, net borrowings of revolving loans of $182.5 million, borrowings
of long-term debt of $257.6 million and net proceeds from stock-based
compensation of $2.3 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 an 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.
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 2007, we utilized approximately $281.9 million of revolving
loans under the Credit Agreement for our peak seasonal working capital
requirements.
-25-
At September 30, 2007, we had $189.9 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, 2007 was $221.3 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.
During the first nine months of 2007, we paid cash dividends on our common stock
totaling $18.2 million. On November 6, 2007, our Board of Directors declared a
quarterly cash dividend on our common stock of $0.16 per share, payable on
December 14, 2007 to holders of record of our common stock on November 30, 2007.
The cash payment for this dividend is expected to be approximately $6.1 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 (approximately $150 million in
2007 and between $110 million and $140 million annually thereafter), 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.
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 2007 with all of these covenants.
Rationalization Charges
In 2006, we announced our plans to exit our St. Paul, Minnesota and Stockton,
California metal food container manufacturing facilities. We expect to cease
operations at our St. Paul facility in the fourth quarter of 2007. We incurred
charges of $2.8 million during the first nine months of 2007 related to this
facility rationalization and expect to incur an additional $2.3 million of
charges related to plant exit costs. We have ceased operations at our Stockton
facility. We incurred charges of $1.0 million in the first nine months of 2007
related to this facility rationalization and expect to incur an additional $0.9
million of charges related to plant exit costs.
Under our rationalization plans, we made cash payments of $1.1 million and $1.5
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Total future cash spending of $8.7 million is expected for our outstanding
rationalization plans.
You should also read Note 3 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 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
In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109." FIN 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. We adopted FIN 48
on January 1, 2007. Our adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements. You should also read Note 8 to our Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2007 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.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
----------------------------------------------------------
Market risks relating to our operations result primarily from changes in
interest rates and, with respect to our international closures operations and
our Canadian plastic container 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. 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, 2006. Since such filing, other than
as disclosed in Note 6 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 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.
-27-
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. We are
currently in the process of integrating the internal controls and procedures of
certain White Cap operations and Cousins-Currie 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 and
Cousins-Currie in our annual assessment of the effectiveness of our internal
control over financial reporting for our 2007 fiscal year.
