David B. Fischer, president and chief executive officer, said “Our third quarter results included higher net sales and increased EBITDA despite a weaker food season in key regions and foreign currency exchange losses. Volumes improved in all business segments compared to the same period last year. Cost savings attributable to the Greif Business System and cross-business integration actions were realized during the quarter. Global market conditions in rigid industrial packaging continue to reflect a slow and steady recovery. Improvements in our flexible products base business were offset by additional costs related to new facilities. The paper packaging business achieved record net sales and operating profit for the third quarter of 2013 due to favorable market conditions and further implementation of our efficient frontier strategy.”

In the third quarter 2013, the company corrected prior period accounting errors that occurred over a number of years with respect to accounting for withholding taxes on subsidiary financing transactions in several countries. The company also corrected prior period errors related to the Latin America region of the Rigid Industrial Packaging & Services segment. The impact of these errors was not material to the company in any prior year. However, the cumulative effect of the correction of the prior period errors would have been material to the current year’s consolidated financial statements of operations. Consequently, the Company has corrected these errors for all prior periods presented by restating the consolidated financial statements and other financial information included herein.

²	EBITDA is defined as net income plus interest expense, net, plus income tax expense less equity earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries, net of tax plus depreciation, depletion and amortization.

Consolidated Results

Net sales were $1,129.7 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared with $1,102.9 million for the third quarter of 2012. The 2.4 percent increase in net sales was primarily due to the impact of a 1.2 percent increase in selling prices coupled with a 1.0 percent increase in volumes. Selling prices for paper packaging products were higher due to the realization of two containerboard price increases since the third quarter of 2012. Selling prices for rigid industrial packaging products decreased principally due to the pass-through of lower steel costs to customers. Lower selling prices for flexible packaging products were attributable to changes in product mix and the pass-through of lower raw material costs to customers.

Gross profit increased 7.5 percent to $217.3 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared with $202.2 million for the third quarter of 2012. Improvements in the Paper Packaging, Land Management and Rigid Industrial Packaging & Services segments were partially offset by a decline in the Flexible Products & Services segment. Gross profit was 19.2 percent of net sales for the third quarter of 2013 versus 18.3 percent of net sales for the third quarter of 2012.

SG&A expenses increased slightly to $118.2 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared with $116.8 million for the third quarter of 2012. Long-term incentive compensation accruals, pension expenses and information technology expenditures were higher in the third quarter of 2013 compared with the prior year. Included in SG&A expenses are acquisition-related costs, which were immaterial for the third quarter of 2013 compared with $1.6 million for the third quarter 2012. SG&A expenses were 10.5 percent of net sales for the third quarter of 2013 compared with 10.6 percent of net sales for the third quarter of 2012.

Restructuring charges were $4.2 million for the third quarter of 2013 and primarily related to capacity rationalization efforts in Latin America, Life Cycle Services integration in Western Europe and manufacturing rationalization in the flexible products business in Europe and Asia. For the third quarter of 2012, restructuring charges of $3.9 million primarily related to the consolidation of operations in the Flexible Products & Services segment and rationalization of operations and contingency actions in the Rigid Industrial Packaging & Services segment.

Operating profit was $96.7 million for the third quarter of 2013 versus $84.8 million for the third quarter of 2012. The $11.9 million increase consisted of Paper Packaging ($9.7 million increase); Land Management ($2.7 million increase); Rigid Industrial Packaging & Services ($0.9 million increase); and Flexible Products & Services ($1.4 million decrease).

EBITDA was $132.2 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared with $124.0 million for the third quarter of 2012. The $8.2 million increase was primarily due to the same factors that impacted the increase in operating profit, partially offset by higher foreign currency exchange losses.

Other expense (income), net, was $4.0 million of expense for the third quarter of 2013 versus $1.8 million of income for the third quarter of 2012. The year-over-year difference is primarily due to foreign currency exchange losses in the third quarter of 2013 compared with foreign currency exchange gains in the third quarter of 2012.

Cash provided by operating activities was $79.8 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared with cash provided by operating activities of $155.0 million for the same period in 2012. The year-over-year change was primarily due to increased working capital requirements in 2013. Free cash flow⁵ was $52.7 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared with free cash flow of $109.2 million for the third quarter of 2012.

Interest expense, net, was $19.2 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared with $21.9 million for the third quarter of 2012 due to lower average interest rates.

Income tax expense was $25.9 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared with $25.0 million for the third quarter of 2012. The effective tax rate was 35.2 percent compared with 38.6 percent for the third quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively. The effective tax rate was 33.9 percent and 34.8 percent for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012, respectively. The increase in income tax expense for the three months ended July 31, 2013, compared to the three months ended July 31, 2012, was a result of higher pre-tax income and an increase in the proportion of pre-tax income attributable to higher tax jurisdictions. The lower effective tax rate is a result of fewer discrete income tax adjustments in the current year versus last year. Cash tax payments for the third quarter of 2013 were $23.2 million.

Net income attributable to Greif, Inc. was $46.7 million, or $0.80 per diluted Class A share and $1.20 per diluted Class B share, for the third quarter of 2013 versus $37.5 million, or $0.64 per diluted Class A share and $0.96 per diluted Class B share, for the third quarter of 2012.

⁵	Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures and timberland purchases.

Segment Results

Rigid Industrial Packaging & Services

Net sales were $802.2 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared with $805.2 million for the third quarter of 2012. Sales volumes increased 0.5 percent with improvements in Europe, Asia and Latin America, partially offset by a decline in North America. Selling prices declined approximately 1 percent resulting from the pass-through of lower steel costs to customers and changes in product mix, partially offset by higher resin costs. Sales for the third quarter of 2013 were also affected by a late start to the agriculture seasons in North America and Europe. Economic conditions remained challenging and market pressures intensified.

Gross profit was $149.5 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared with $147.9 million for the third quarter of 2012. Gross profit margin improved to 18.6 percent for the third quarter of 2013 from 18.4 percent for the third quarter of 2012. The increase was mostly due to lower steel costs partially offset by higher resin costs and changes in product mix in the third quarter of 2013.

Operating profit increased to $61.7 million for the third quarter of 2013 from $60.8 million for the third quarter of 2012. The $0.9 million increase was primarily due to the same factors that impacted the increase in gross profit margin plus lower acquisition-related costs, partially offset by slightly higher restructuring charges.

Restructuring charges for the third quarter of 2013 were $3.8 million compared with $3.4 million for the same period in 2012 mostly related to capacity rationalization efforts in Latin America and Life Cycle Services integration efforts in Europe. There were $0.1 million and $1.6 million of acquisition-related costs for the third quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively.

EBITDA was $86.3 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared with $85.2 million for the same period in 2012 due to the same factors that impacted the segment’s operating profit, partially offset by higher foreign currency exchange losses. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $26.7 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared with $25.3 million for the same period in 2012.

Flexible Products & Services

Net sales were $110.5 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared with $109.7 million for the third quarter of 2012. Volumes increased 5.5 percent due to higher polywoven volumes in Europe and the Americas and higher multiwall volumes in the United States, partially offset by lower polywoven volumes in Asia Pacific. Selling prices declined 6.1 percent primarily due to changes in product mix and the pass-through of declining raw material costs for polywoven products to customers. The impact of foreign currency translation was a positive 1.4 percent.

Gross profit was $19.4 million and $20.0 million for the third quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively. Gross profit margin decreased to 17.6 percent for the third quarter of 2013 from 18.2 percent for the third quarter of 2012. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to changes in product mix combined with higher polywoven production costs related to lower network capacity utilization.

Operating profit was nominal for the third quarter of 2013 compared with an operating profit of $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2012. Improvements in the base business were more than offset by additional costs related to new facilities including the fabric hub in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a confection facility in Morocco and a shipping sack line in North America.

Restructuring charges for the third quarter of 2013 were $0.4 million compared with $0.5 million for the same period last year related to the rationalization of manufacturing in Europe and Asia. There were no acquisition-related costs for the third quarters of 2013 and 2012.

EBITDA was $2.1 million and $7.3 million for the third quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively. EBITDA for both periods was affected by the same factors that impacted the segment’s operating profit combined with higher foreign currency exchange losses. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $4.0 million and $3.7 million for the third quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Paper Packaging

Record net sales were $208.4 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared with $182.7 million for the third quarter of 2012. This increase was due to higher selling prices (13.3 percent) coupled with increased volumes (0.8 percent). The recently implemented increase in containerboard prices was fully realized by the end of the third quarter of 2013.

Gross profit was $44.1 million and $32.5 million for the third quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively. Gross profit margin increased to 21.2 percent for the third quarter of 2013 from 17.8 percent for the third quarter of 2012. This increase was primarily due to higher selling prices coupled with relatively stable input costs.

Operating profit increased 46 percent to a record $30.7 million for the third quarter of 2013 from $21.0 million for the third quarter of 2012, primarily due to higher selling prices, higher volumes and relatively stable input costs.

EBITDA increased to $38.0 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared with $29.2 million for the third quarter of 2012 due to the same factors that impacted the segment’s operating profit. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $7.3 million and $7.7 million for the third quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Land Management

Net sales were $8.6 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared with $5.3 million for the third quarter of 2012. The increase was due to higher timber sales volumes combined with generally higher prices for timber products.

Operating profit increased to $4.3 million for the third quarter of 2013 from $1.6 million for the third quarter of 2012 primarily due to higher timber sales. Special use property disposals included in operating profit were $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2013 versus $0.3 million for the third quarter of 2012. Special use property disposals and development land sales occur intermittently based on general market conditions and specific business opportunities.

EBITDA was $5.8 million and $2.3 million for the third quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively. This increase was due to the same factors that impacted the segment’s operating profit. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $1.5 million and $0.7 million for the third quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Other Financial Information

Long-term debt was $1,240.8 million at July 31, 2013 compared with $1,224.5 million on the same date in 2012 and $1,175.3 million at Oct. 31, 2012. During the third quarter of 2013, long-term debt decreased $28.6 million from April 30, 2013.

Capital expenditures were $27.1 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared with $45.0 million for the same period last year. There were no timberland purchases for the third quarter of 2013 compared with $0.8 million for the third quarter of 2012. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $39.5 million and $37.4 million for the third quarters of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively.

On Aug. 27, 2013, the Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.42 per share of Class A Common Stock and $0.63 per share of Class B Common Stock. These dividends are payable on Oct. 1, 2013, to stockholders of record at close of business on Sept. 20, 2013.

Company Outlook

We expect continuation of modest sales growth and generally stable raw material costs across our business portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2013. In the rigid industrial packaging business, continued challenging market conditions are anticipated including a delayed agricultural season lower than last year in Europe and North America. In the flexible products business, ongoing capacity utilization challenges related to the new facilities are expected to offset increased sales volumes and recent operational efficiency gains in other parts of the network. We anticipate favorable market conditions to remain in place in the paper packaging business. Our outlook for fiscal 2013 EBITDA remains between $475 million and $500 million.

EBITDA is defined as net income plus interest expense, net, plus income tax expense less equity earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries, net of tax plus depreciation, depletion and amortization. However, because the company does not calculate net income by segment, this table calculates EBITDA by segment with reference to operating profit by segment, which as demonstrated in the table of Consolidated EBITDA is another method to achieve the same result. See the reconciliations on the table of Segment EBITDA.
