Exhibit 99.1

PACKAGING CORPORATION OF AMERICA REPORTS RECORD THIRD QUARTER 2015 RESULTS

Lake Forest, IL, October 20, 2015Packaging Corporation of America (NYSE: PKG) today reported third quarter net income of $128 million, or $1.31 per share, compared to last year’s third quarter net income of $104 million, or $1.06 per share. Earnings included a $5 million, or $.05 per share, net gain for special items related to the Boise integration including the sale of the former St. Helens mill site previously operated by Boise Inc. Excluding special items, third quarter 2015 net income was $123 million, or $1.26 per share, compared to third quarter 2014 net income of $124 million, or $1.26 per share. Third quarter net sales were $1.5 billion in both 2015 and 2014.

Excluding special items, third quarter 2015 earnings per share, compared to the third quarter of 2014, included improved volume ($.07), lower costs for chemicals ($.03), energy ($.03) and repairs ($.02) and a lower tax rate ($.03). These items were offset by lower white paper prices and mix ($.13), lower export containerboard prices ($.03), and higher fiber costs ($.01).

Packaging segment EBITDA in the third quarter of 2015, excluding special items, was $268 million with sales of $1,144 million compared to third quarter 2014 packaging EBITDA of $262 million with sales of $1,176 million. Revenues in 2014 included $36 million related to the discontinued newsprint business and other divested operations. Corrugated products shipments were up 1.3% over last year’s record third quarter with the same number of workdays. Containerboard production was 933,000 tons which was an increase of 75,000 tons over last year’s third quarter including 70,000 tons from the D3 machine at DeRidder. Containerboard inventories were up 2,000 tons compared to 2014 year-end levels.

Paper segment EBITDA in the third quarter of 2015, excluding special items, was $46 million with sales of $292 million compared to third quarter 2014 EBITDA of $56 million with sales of $313 million. Total sales prices were lower and volume was essentially equal to the third quarter of last year.

Commenting on third quarter results, Mark W. Kowlzan, CEO, said “We performed very well equaling last year’s record third quarter earnings despite lower white papers prices and mix and lower export containerboard prices which together totaled $.16 per share. We achieved record volumes in both our packaging mills and corrugated products plants and continued to reduce costs and optimize our operations. The planned capital outage on our D3 paper machine at DeRidder was successfully completed and has enabled the machine to achieve the 1,000 tons per day design capacity. Finally, in our paper segment, we were able to reduce about half of the impact from lower sales prices through our cost reduction and efficiency improvement efforts.”

“Looking ahead,” Mr. Kowlzan added, “we expect seasonally lower volumes for containerboard and corrugated products as well as a seasonally less rich mix in corrugated products, compared to the third quarter. In addition, we expect seasonally lower volumes and a less rich mix in white papers. With colder weather, wood and fuel costs are also expected to be seasonally higher. Finally, as previously reported, maintenance outage costs are expected to be $.10 per share higher in the fourth quarter due to the planned 24-day outage at our Jackson, Alabama white papers mill for a major rebuild of the recovery boiler which will reduce production and increase costs. Considering these items, we expect fourth quarter earnings of $1.03 per share.”







In addition to PCA’s consolidated earnings results and the segment information that accompanies this press release, we posted other supplemental financial data for the third quarter on our website at www.packagingcorp.com.

PCA is the fourth largest producer of containerboard and corrugated packaging products in the United States and the third largest producer of uncoated freesheet paper in North America. PCA operates eight mills and 94 corrugated products plants and related facilities.

Some of the statements in this press release are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements about our future earnings and financial condition, our industry and our business strategy. Statements that contain words such as “ will”, “should”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, “hope” or similar expressions, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of PCA. Because forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, the plans, actions and actual results of PCA could differ materially. Among the factors that could cause plans, actions and results to differ materially from PCA’s current expectations include the following: the impact of general economic conditions; conditions in the paper and packaging industries, including competition, product demand and product pricing; fluctuations in wood fiber and recycled fiber costs; fluctuations in purchased energy costs; the possibility of unplanned outages or interruptions at our principal facilities; and legislative or regulatory requirements, particularly concerning environmental matters, as well as those identified under Item 1A. Risk Factors in PCA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available at the SEC’s website at “www.sec.gov”.

All periods presented include amounts from restructuring activities at our mill in DeRidder, Louisiana, including costs related to the conversion of the No. 3 newsprint machine to containerboard, our exit from the newsprint business, and other improvements. The restructuring charges primarily related to accelerated depreciation and were mostly recorded in "Cost of sales". We completed the restructuring activities in first quarter 2015, but we recorded $3.8 million of income for services and equipment received for vendor settlements during the three months ended September 30, 2015. These amounts were recorded in "Other income (expense), net". See page 3 for the amounts recorded in each period.
(2)
All periods presented include Boise acquisition integration-related and other costs, mostly recorded in "Other income (expense), net". These costs primarily relate to professional fees, severance, retention, relocation, travel, and other integration-related costs. See page 3 for the amounts recorded in each period.
In both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, $1.5 million of debt-refinancing costs were recorded in "Interest expense, net".
The nine months ended September 30, 2015, include a $3.6 million tax credit from the State of Louisiana related to our recent capital investment and the jobs retained at the DeRidder, Louisiana, mill, which was recorded as a benefit in "Other income (expense), net".
The nine months ended September 30, 2014, include $17.6 million of costs accrued for the settlement of the Kleen Products LLC v Packaging Corp. of America et al class action lawsuit. These costs are recorded in "Other income (expense), net".

Income from operations excluding special items, segment income (loss) excluding special items, earnings before interest, income taxes, and depreciation, amortization, and depletion (EBITDA), and EBITDA excluding special items are non-GAAP financial measures. We present these measures because they provide a means to evaluate the performance of our segments and our company on an ongoing basis using the same measures that are used by our management and because these measures are frequently used by investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies and the performance of their segments. The tables included in "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" on the following pages reconcile the non-GAAP measures with the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Any analysis of non-GAAP financial measures should be done only in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures are not intended to be substitutes for GAAP financial measures and should not be used as such.

Net income and earnings per share excluding special items are non-GAAP financial measures. The after-tax effect of special items are presented because they provide a means to evaluate the performance of our company on an ongoing basis using the same measures that are used by our management and because these measures are frequently used by investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies and their performance. Any analysis of non-GAAP financial measures should be done only in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures are not intended to be substitutes for GAAP financial measures and should not be used as such.

Third Quarter 2015 Supplementary Financial Data October 20, 2015


 
Certain statements in this supplementary data are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements about our future financial condition, our industry and our business strategy. Statements that contain words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, “hope” or similar expressions, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of PCA. Because forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, the plans, actions and actual results of PCA could differ materially. Among the factors that could cause plans, actions and results to differ materially from PCA’s current expectations are those identified under the caption “Risk Factors” in PCA’s Form 10K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available at the SEC’s website at “www.sec.gov”. We undertake no obligation to publically update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Packaging Corporation of America Certain non-U.S. GAAP financial information is presented on these slides. A reconciliation of those numbers to U.S. GAAP financial measures is included in the schedules attached to our press release. Non-GAAP Financial Measures 2
