(Nasdaq:SLGN), a leading supplier of consumer goods packaging products, announced today that it is raising its 2004 full year and fourth quarter earnings outlook to at least $4.40 and $0.76 per diluted share, respectively, including rationalization charges. The Company's previous full year earnings outlook had been a range of $4.06 to $4.26 per diluted share. Primary contributors to this revised earnings outlook are better than projected sales volume recorded late in the fourth quarter and a favorable pre-tax benefit of $3 million resulting from a litigation settlement reached with an equipment supplier in the last week of December.
