Exhibit 99.1

 

PACKAGING CORPORATION OF AMERICA REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2017 RESULTS

Special items expense in the third quarter of 2017 primarily includes asset impairment and other charges related to discontinuing paper operations associated with the previously announced conversion of the No. 3 paper machine at the Wallula, Washington mill to linerboard.  Excluding special items, the $.38 per share increase in third quarter 2017 earnings compared to the third quarter of 2016 was driven primarily by higher prices and mix ($.61) and sales volume ($.07) in our Packaging segment and a partial insurance recovery related to the DeRidder Mill incident ($.02).  These items were partially offset by lower prices and mix ($.05) and sales volume ($.02) in our Paper segment, higher input costs ($.12), higher operating costs ($.03), higher freight ($.02) and annual outage ($.02) expenses, and higher corporate and other costs ($.06).

 

Compared to third quarter guidance, results were negatively impacted by ($.02) per share due to hurricane-related items at certain mills and corrugated products facilities, offset by a partial insurance recovery related to the DeRidder Mill incident of $.02 per share.

 

Financial information by segment is summarized below and in the schedules with this release.

In the Packaging segment, total corrugated products shipments with two less workdays were up 4.0% and shipments per day were up 7.3% over last year’s third quarter.   Containerboard production was 996,000 tons, and containerboard inventory was up 7,000 tons compared to the third quarter of 2016 and up 20,000 tons from the second quarter of 2017.  In the Paper segment, lower volumes in the third quarter of 2017 compared to last year were primarily due to the previously announced shutdown of market pulp operations at the Wallula Mill.

 

 

 


 

Commenting on reported results, Mark W. Kowlzan, Chairman and CEO, said, “Our containerboard and corrugated products price increases were implemented as planned and we continued to have strong demand in our packaging segment.   Our containerboard mills ran very well and set an all-time quarterly production record. We built some extra inventory to prepare for the scheduled fourth quarter outage at our Counce Mill that was moved from earlier in the year and begin the integration of the Sacramento Container acquisition into our packaging business.  Higher year over year inflation came in close to where we expected, and the employees at our mills and corrugated products facilities did an outstanding job mitigating the negative impact of the recent hurricanes.  Additionally, we recorded impairment and other charges related to the virgin linerboard conversion of our No. 3 paper machine at Wallula and our preparations for this project are well under way.”  

 

“Looking ahead to the fourth quarter,” Mr. Kowlzan added, “we expect packaging segment demand to remain strong although at seasonally lower volumes, which includes one less shipping day, as well as a seasonally less rich mix in corrugated products, compared to the third quarter.   We will also have the addition of our newly acquired Sacramento Container operations in the fourth quarter.  In our paper segment, we have started implementing our recently announced price increases, but expect seasonally lower volumes and a less rich sales mix.  While recycled fiber prices should move lower, higher wood and energy costs along with higher prices for certain key chemicals and higher freight costs are also expected.  Finally, our annual outage costs are estimated to be ($.12) per share higher than the third quarter due to scheduled maintenance work at four of our mills.  Considering these items, we expect fourth quarter earnings of $1.50 per share.  This does not include any potential additional costs or anticipated recoveries related to the Deridder Mill insurance claim.”

 

 

We present various non-GAAP financial measures in this press release, including diluted EPS excluding special items, segment income excluding special items and EBITDA excluding special items.  We provide information regarding our use of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of historical non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release to the most comparable measure reported in accordance with GAAP in the schedules to this press release.  We present our earnings expectation for the upcoming quarter excluding special items as special items are difficult to predict and quantify and may reflect the effect of future events.  We currently expect special items in the fourth quarter to include accounting charges, fees, and expenses related to the Wallula Mill paper machine conversion from paper to linerboard, the Sacramento Container Corporation acquisition and certain disposal and closure activities at other facilities.   Additional special items may arise due to fourth quarter events.

 

PCA is the fourth largest producer of containerboard and corrugated packaging products and the third largest producer of uncoated freesheet paper in the United States.  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, expected benefits from acquisitions and facility closures, 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, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available at the SEC’s website at “www.sec.gov”.

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. Management excludes special items as it believes these items are not necessarily reflective of the ongoing results of operations of our business. 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, because these measures assist in providing a meaningful comparison between periods presented 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.

(1)

Net income and earnings per share excluding special items are non-GAAP financial measures. Management excludes special items as it believes these items are not necessarily reflective of the ongoing results of operations of our business. We present these measures 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, because these measures assist in providing a meaningful comparison between periods presented 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.

(2)

Special items are tax-effected at a combined federal and state income tax rate in effect for the period the special items were recorded and this rate is adjusted for each subsequent quarter to be consistent with the estimated annual effective tax rate, in accordance with ASC 270, Interim Reporting, and ASC 740-270, Income Taxes – Intra Period Tax Allocation. For all periods presented, income taxes on special items represent the current amount of tax. For more information related to these items, see the footnotes to the Consolidated Earnings Results on page 1.
