SILGAN ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2024 RESULTS


Highlights

Completed acquisition of Weener Packaging
Renewed long-term contract with largest customer
Delivered double digit growth and record volume in dispensing products
Record Dispensing and Specialty Closures segment Adjusted EBIT
Anticipates significant growth in 2025

STAMFORD, CT, October 30, 2024 -- Silgan Holdings Inc. (NYSE: SLGN), a leading supplier of sustainable rigid packaging solutions for the world's essential consumer goods products, today reported third quarter 2024 net sales of $1.75 billion and net income of $100.1 million, or $0.93 per diluted share, as compared to third quarter 2023 net sales of $1.80 billion and net income of $110.6 million, or $1.02 per diluted share.

Adjusted net income per diluted share for the third quarter of 2024 was $1.21, after adjustments increasing net income per diluted share by $0.28. Adjusted net income per diluted share for the third quarter of 2023 was $1.16 after adjustments increasing net income per diluted share by $0.14. A reconciliation of net income per diluted share to "adjusted net income per diluted share," a Non-GAAP financial measure used by the Company that adjusts net income per diluted share for certain items, can be found in Table A at the back of this press release.

"Our third quarter results continued to benefit from the success of our long-term strategic growth initiatives, the power of the Silgan portfolio and the strength and agility of our operating teams," said Adam Greenlee, President and CEO. "We are pleased to have recently closed the Weener acquisition and to welcome 4,000 new Silgan Team members. This acquisition further expands the breadth, depth and reach of our best-in-class and winning global dispensing business. Our global dispensing business delivered another consecutive quarter of double-digit growth in dispensing products and continues to see success in the marketplace as the dispensing partner of choice to the world's most iconic brands driven by our leading innovation and service model. Our Metal Containers business achieved another significant milestone in the quarter, delivering high single digit growth in pet food and successfully extending our decades-long relationship with our largest Metal Containers customer through the renewal and extension of our long-term contract. Our Custom Containers business benefited from the commercialization of new business awards, improved market demand and strong operating performance, and our teams have continued to deliver incremental business wins. Overall, we continue to see positive momentum in our business and remain on track to drive organic growth and margin improvement in 2024, while managing through the impact of severe weather and the mixed success of customer promotional activity," continued Mr. Greenlee. "With our strategic objectives continuing to deliver organic growth and the Weener acquisition, including synergies, contributing to our results, we believe we are well positioned to deliver significant earnings growth in 2025 and beyond," concluded Mr. Greenlee.

Third Quarter Results

Net sales for the third quarter of 2024 were $1.75 billion, a decrease of $58.0 million, or 3%, as compared to the same period in the prior year. Third quarter 2024 net sales declined predominantly as a result of the contractual pass through of lower raw material costs, mostly in the Metal Containers segment.

Income before interest and income taxes (EBIT) for the third quarter of 2024 was $167.3 million, a decrease of $26.8 million as compared to $194.1 million for the third quarter of 2023. EBIT in the Dispensing and Specialty Closures, Metal Containers and Custom Containers segments were $74.7 million, $89.3 million, and $17.1 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2024. Rationalization charges were $19.5 million and $6.4 million in the third quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively. A reconciliation of EBIT for each segment to Adjusted EBIT, a Non-GAAP financial measure used by the Company that adjusts EBIT for certain items, can be found in Table B at the back of this press release.

Interest and other debt expense for the third quarter of 2024 was $41.9 million, a decrease of $5.4 million as compared to the third quarter of 2023 primarily due to lower borrowings in the current year period.

The effective tax rates were 20.2% and 24.7% for the third quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2024 was favorably impacted primarily by the reversal of tax reserves due to the expiration of statutes of limitation.

Third Quarter Segment Results

Dispensing and Specialty Closures
Net sales of the Dispensing and Specialty Closures segment were $563.7 million in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $4.6 million, or 1%, as compared to $559.1 million in the third quarter of 2023. The increase in net sales from the prior year quarter was a result of higher volume/mix of 2%, with double digit improvement and record volume in dispensing products partially offset by lower than anticipated closures volumes for certain hot-fill beverages. The improvement in volume/mix was partially offset by the pass through of lower raw material costs of 1%.

Dispensing and Specialty Closures Adjusted EBIT increased $1.4 million to a record of $95.2 million in the third quarter of 2024 as compared to $93.8 million in the third quarter of 2023. The increase in Adjusted EBIT was driven primarily by improved price/cost, which was partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency.

Metal Containers
Net sales of the Metal Containers segment were $1.02 billion in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of $72.0 million, or 7%, as compared to $1.09 billion in the third quarter of 2023. Metal containers volume increased 2% during the quarter, with high single digit growth for pet food markets partially offset by softer than anticipated volumes for fruit and vegetable markets. Fruit and vegetable volumes were negatively impacted by both the planned reduction in volumes by a large pack customer to reduce its working capital and severe weather that prematurely ended the fruit and vegetable packs. The increase in volume from the prior year quarter was offset primarily by
2

silgan-sxbug_transparent.jpg
unfavorable price/mix as a result of both the contractual pass through of lower raw material costs and significantly less favorable mix due to lower volumes for fruit and vegetable markets and higher volumes for pet food markets.

Metal Containers Adjusted EBIT decreased $16.4 million to $97.1 million in the third quarter of 2024 as compared to $113.5 million in the third quarter of 2023. The decline in Adjusted EBIT in the quarter was primarily the result of unfavorable price/cost including mix, largely as a result of the adverse mix impact of lower volumes related to the fruit and vegetable pack.

Custom Containers
Net sales of the Custom Containers segment were $158.8 million in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $9.4 million, or 6%, as compared to $149.4 million in the third quarter of 2023. This increase was primarily the result of higher volumes of 5% largely due to the commercialization of new business awards.

Custom Containers Adjusted EBIT increased $8.2 million to $20.0 million in the third quarter of 2024 as compared to $11.8 million in the third quarter of 2023. The increase in Adjusted EBIT was primarily the result of more favorable price/cost including mix and higher volume due to the successful commercialization of new business awards.

Outlook for 2024

The Company has narrowed its estimate of adjusted net income per diluted share for the full year of 2024 from a range of $3.55 to $3.75 to a range of $3.55 to $3.65, a 6% increase at the midpoint of the range over adjusted net income per diluted share of $3.40 in 2023. Volume/mix in the Dispensing and Specialty Closures segment and volumes in Custom Containers are expected to be higher than 2023 levels. Volumes in the Metal Containers segment are expected to be comparable to prior year levels. Adjusted net income per diluted share includes slight accretion from the recently completed acquisition of Weener Packaging and excludes certain items as outlined in Table C at the back of this press release.

The Company anticipates interest and other debt expense in 2024 of approximately $170 million and an effective tax rate for 2024 of approximately 23 - 24%.

The Company is confirming its estimate of free cash flow in 2024 of approximately $375 million, as compared to $356.7 million in 2023. Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $255 million in 2024.

For the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company expects low single digit volume growth in the Dispensing and Specialty Closures and Custom Containers segments. Metal Containers volumes are expected to be below prior year levels due to the early end to the fruit and vegetable pack season in 2024 as compared to strong fruit and vegetable volumes in the fourth quarter of 2023. The Company is providing an estimate of adjusted net income per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2024 in the range of $0.78 to $0.88, a 32% increase at the midpoint of the range as compared to $0.63 in the fourth quarter of 2023. Adjusted net income per diluted share includes slight accretion from the recently completed acquisition of Weener Packaging and excludes certain items as outlined in Table C at the back of this press release.

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

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










U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
