Ball Corporation

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ball Corporation and its controlled affiliates, including its consolidated variable interest entities (collectively Ball, the company, we or our), and have been prepared by the company. Certain information and footnote disclosures, including critical and significant accounting policies normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted for this quarterly presentation.

Results of operations for the periods shown are not necessarily indicative of results for the year, particularly in view of the seasonality in the packaging segments and the irregularity of contract revenues in the aerospace and technologies segment. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 22, 2013, pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 (annual report).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates are based on historical experience and various assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. However, we believe that the financial statements reflect all adjustments which are of a normal and recurring nature and are necessary to fairly state the results of the interim periods. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period presentation.

2.Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2013, amendments to the existing accounting guidance were issued requiring the company to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, the effect of significant amounts reclassified in their entirety from each component of accumulated other comprehensive earnings based on the source into net earnings during the reporting period. For amounts not required to be reclassified in their entirety, the company is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those reclassifications. The new guidance was effective for Ball prospectively on January 1, 2013, and the additional required disclosures are included in Note 13.

In December 2011, accounting guidance was issued requiring disclosures to help reconcile differences in the offsetting requirements under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and international financial reporting standards (IFRS). The new disclosure requirements mandate that companies disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. Further guidance was issued in January 2013 to clarify the intended scope of the required disclosures. The guidance was effective for Ball on January 1, 2013, and did not have a material effect on the company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Guidance

In July 2013, accounting guidance was issued to eliminate diversity in practice for the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists. In general, an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, unless certain exceptions exist. The guidance, which will be effective for Ball on January 1, 2014, is not expected to have a material effect on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

2.Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

Also in July 2013, accounting guidance was issued to provide for inclusion of the Overnight Index Swap Rate (OIS, also referred to as the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate) as a benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. Prior to this guidance, in the U.S. only interest rates on direct U.S. Treasury obligations and the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) swap rate were considered benchmark interest rates for hedge accounting purposes. The guidance was effective for Ball prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2013, the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission (COSO) issued the 2013 “Internal Control — Integrated Framework” (Framework). The 2013 Framework is expected to: (1) help companies design and implement internal controls in light of the changes in business and operating environments since the issuance of the original Framework, (2) broaden the application of internal controls in addressing operating and reporting objectives and (3) clarify the requirements for determining what constitutes effective internal controls. Implementation of the 2013 Framework is effective for Ball for the year ended December 31, 2014. During the transitional period, companies can continue to use the original Framework but should disclose whether the original or the 2013 Framework was utilized. Ball is continuing to use the original Framework and does not expect the implementation of the 2013 Framework to have a material effect on the company’s established internal controls around financial reporting.

In March 2013, accounting guidance was issued to clarify that a company should release the cumulative translation adjustment into net earnings if the parent ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. The guidance also affects entities that lose a controlling financial interest in an investment in a foreign entity and those that acquire a business in stages by increasing an investment in a foreign entity from one accounted for under the equity method to one accounted for as a consolidated investment. The guidance will be effective for Ball prospectively on January 1, 2014, and is not expected to have a material effect on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

3.Business Segment Information

Ball’s operations are organized and reviewed by management along its product lines and geographical areas and presented in the four reportable segments discussed below. On January 1, 2013, the company implemented changes to its management and internal reporting structure. As a result, the European extruded aluminum business, which was previously included in the metal beverage packaging, Europe, segment, is now included in the metal food and household products packaging segment. The segment results and disclosures for the three and six months ended July 1, 2012, and the financial position at December 31, 2012, have been retrospectively adjusted to conform to the current year presentation.

Metal beverage packaging, Americas and Asia:  Consists of the metal beverage packaging, Americas, operations in the U.S., Canada and Brazil, and the metal beverage packaging, Asia, operations in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The Americas and Asia segments have been aggregated based on similar economic and qualitative characteristics. The operations in this reporting segment manufacture and sell metal beverage containers, and also manufacture and sell non-beverage plastic containers in the PRC.

Metal beverage packaging, Europe:  Consists of operations in several countries in Europe, which manufacture and sell metal beverage containers.

Metal food and household products packaging:  Consists of operations in the U.S., Europe, Canada, Mexico and Argentina, which manufacture and sell steel food, aerosol, paint, general line and decorative specialty containers, as well as extruded aluminum beverage and aerosol containers and aluminum slugs.

Aerospace and technologies:  Consists of the manufacture and sale of aerospace and other related products and the providing of services used in the defense, civil space and commercial space industries.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. A discussion of the company’s critical and significant accounting policies can be found in Ball’s annual report. The company also has investments in companies in the U.S. and Vietnam, which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and, accordingly, those results are not included in segment sales or earnings.

4.Acquisitions

Envases del Plata S.A. de C.V. (Envases)

In December 2012, the company acquired Envases, a leading producer of extruded aluminum aerosol packaging in Mexico with a single manufacturing facility in San Luis Potosí, for cash of $56.0 million, net of cash acquired, and assumed debt of $72.7 million. The facility produces extruded aluminum aerosol containers for personal care and household products for customers in North, Central and South America and employs approximately 150 people. The acquisition is expected to provide a platform to grow the company’s existing North American extruded aluminum business, providing a new end market for the company’s products, including the company’s ReAlTM technology that enables the use of recycled material and meaningful lightweighting in the manufacture of extruded aluminum packaging. Based on the preliminary purchase price allocation, goodwill of $64.0 million was recorded at June 30, 2013. The acquisition of Envases is not material to the metal food and household products packaging segment.

5.Business Consolidation Activities (continued)

2013

Metal Beverage Packaging, Americas and Asia

The second quarter included charges of $7.1 million to balance regional supply and demand in the segment by eliminating 12-ounce beverage can production from the company’s Milwaukee, Wisconsin, facility. The charges were composed of $3.6 million for accelerated depreciation, $2.0 million for severance and other employee benefits and $1.5 million for other costs. In addition, the first and second quarters of 2013 included net charges of $1.5 million and $3.9 million, primarily for ongoing costs related to the previously announced closures of Ball’s Columbus, Ohio, and Gainesville, Florida, facilities and voluntary separation programs, as well as other insignificant charges.

Metal Beverage Packaging, Europe, and Corporate

During the first and second quarters, the company recorded charges of $2.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively, primarily for implementation costs incurred in connection with the third quarter 2012 relocation of the company’s European headquarters from Germany to Switzerland.

Metal Food and Household Products Packaging

During the first quarter, the company announced that it will close its Elgin, Illinois, food and household products packaging facility in December 2013. The first and second quarters included charges of $20.8 million and $5.3 million, respectively, in connection with this planned closure. The total charges in the first six months of $26.1 million were composed of $16.0 million for severance, pension and other employee benefits; $4.2 million for the write down of the land and building to net realizable value; and $5.9 million for the accelerated depreciation on assets to be abandoned and other closure costs. Additional charges of approximately $7 million are expected to be recorded during the remainder of 2013 and first quarter of 2014. The Elgin facility produces steel aerosol and specialty cans, as well as flat steel sheet used by other Ball facilities. The plant’s production capabilities will be supplied by other Ball food and household products packaging facilities.

The second quarter also included a charge of $5.9 million to migrate certain hourly employees from a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan as of December 31, 2013, to a Ball-sponsored defined benefit pension plan. Additionally, the first and second quarters included income of $2.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively, to accrue for the reimbursement of funds paid in 2012 for the settlement of certain Canadian defined benefit pension liabilities related to previously closed facilities.

2012

Metal Beverage Packaging, Americas and Asia

The company recorded net charges of $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2012 and a reversal of $0.3 million in the second quarter related to previously closed facilities.

Metal Beverage Packaging, Europe, and Corporate

The first and second quarters of 2012 included charges of $2.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively, for implementation costs incurred in connection with the relocation of the company’s European headquarters from Germany to Switzerland, which was completed during the third quarter of 2012.

An additional $0.4 million of net charges were recorded in the first six months of 2012, primarily to reflect individually insignificant charges related to previously announced business consolidation and other activities.

Ball Corporation

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

11.  Debt (continued)

In May 2013, Ball: (1) issued $1 billion of 4.00 percent senior notes due in November 2023; (2) tendered for the redemption of its 7.125 percent senior notes originally due in September 2016 in the amount of $375 million, at a redemption price per note of 105.322 percent of the outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest; and (3) repaid the $125 million Term A loan, which was a component of the senior credit facilities. The redemption of the senior notes, all of which occurred in the second quarter, and the early repayment of the Term A loan resulted in charges of $26.3 million for the tender and call premiums, as well as the write off of unamortized financing costs and issuance discounts. These charges are included as a component of interest expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of earnings.

The senior credit facilities bear interest at variable rates and include the term loans described in the table above, as well as a long-term, multi-currency committed revolving credit facility that provides the company with up to the U.S. dollar equivalent of $1 billion. In June 2013, the company amended the senior credit facilities and extended the term from December 2015 to June 2018. In connection with the amendment, the company recorded a charge of $0.4 million for the write off of unamortized financing costs. The charge is included as a component of interest expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of earnings.

At June 30, 2013, taking into account outstanding letters of credit and facility borrowings, approximately $926 million was available under the company’s long-term, multi-currency committed revolving credit facilities, which are available until June 2018. In addition to these facilities, the company had approximately $583 million of short-term uncommitted credit facilities available at the end of the quarter, of which $169.3 million was outstanding and due on demand.

The fair value of the long-term debt at June 30, 2013, and at December 31, 2012, approximated its carrying value. The fair value reflects the market rates at each period end for debt with credit ratings similar to the company’s ratings. Rates currently available to the company for loans with similar terms and maturities are used to estimate the fair value of long-term debt based on discounted cash flows.

In August 2011, the company entered into an accounts receivable securitization agreement for a term of three years, as amended from time to time. The maximum the company can borrow under the amended agreement can vary between $85 million and $210 million depending on the seasonal accounts receivable balances in the company’s North American packaging businesses. At June 30, 2013, $144.0 million of accounts receivable were sold under the securitization agreement. There were no accounts receivable sold under this agreement at December 31, 2012. Borrowings under the securitization agreement are included within short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt on the balance sheet.

On March 9, 2012, Ball issued $750 million of 5.00 percent senior notes due in March 2022. On the same date, the company tendered for the redemption of its 6.625 percent senior notes originally due in March 2018 in the amount of $450 million, at a redemption price per note of 102.583 percent of the outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest. The company redeemed $392.7 million during the first quarter of 2012, and the remaining $57.3 million was redeemed during the second quarter. The redemption of the bonds resulted in a charge of $15.1 million for the call premium and the write off of unamortized financing costs and premiums. The charge is included as a component of interest expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of earnings.

The senior notes and senior credit facilities are guaranteed on a full, unconditional and joint and several basis by certain of the company’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries. Certain foreign denominated tranches of the senior credit facilities are similarly guaranteed by certain of the company’s wholly owned foreign subsidiaries. Note 19 contains further details, as well as required unaudited condensed consolidating financial information for the company, segregating the guarantor subsidiaries and non-guarantor subsidiaries as defined in the senior notes agreements.

The U.S. note agreements, bank credit agreement and accounts receivable securitization agreement contain certain restrictions relating to dividend payments, share repurchases, investments, financial ratios, guarantees and the incurrence of additional indebtedness. The most restrictive of the company’s debt covenants require the company to maintain an interest coverage ratio (as defined in the agreements) of no less than 3.50 and a leverage ratio (as defined) of no greater than 4.00. The company was in compliance with all loan agreements and debt covenants at June 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, and has met all debt payment obligations.

Share Repurchase Agreements

In February 2012, in a privately negotiated transaction, Ball entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement to buy $200 million of its common shares using cash on hand and available borrowings. The company advanced the $200 million on February 3, 2012, and received 4,584,819 shares, which represented 90 percent of the total shares as calculated using the closing price on January 31, 2012. The agreement was settled in May 2012, and the company received an additional 334,039 shares, which represented a weighted average price of $40.66 for the contract period.

In October 2011, in a privately negotiated transaction, Ball entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement to buy $100 million of its common shares using cash on hand and available borrowings. The company advanced the $100 million on November 2, 2011, and received 2,523,836 shares, which represented 90 percent of the total shares as calculated using the closing price on October 28, 2011. The agreement was settled in January 2012, and the company received an additional 361,615 shares, which represented a weighted average price of $34.66 for the contract period.

14.  Stock-Based Compensation Programs

The company has shareholder-approved stock plans under which options and stock-settled appreciation rights (SSARs) have been granted to employees at the market value of the company’s stock at the date of grant. In the case of stock options, payment must be made by the employee at the time of exercise in cash or with shares of stock owned by the employee, which are valued at fair market value on the date exercised. For SSARs, the employee receives the share equivalent of the difference between the fair market value on the date exercised and the exercise price of the SSARs exercised. In general, options and SSARs are exercisable in four equal installments commencing one year from the date of grant and terminating 10 years from the date of grant. A summary of stock option and SSAR activity for the six months ended June 30, 2013, follows:

	Outstanding Options and SSARs
	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price
Beginning of year	9,982,104		$	26.71
Granted	1,364,870		45.93
Exercised	(784,180	)	22.90
Canceled/forfeited	(37,525	)	36.68
End of period	10,525,269		29.45
Vested and exercisable, end of period	7,130,019		24.76
Reserved for future grants (a)	12,415,262

(a)On April 24, 2013, Ball’s shareholders approved the 2013 Stock and Cash Incentive Plan, which authorized 12.5 million shares for future option, SSAR and restricted share grants. This authorization replaced all previous authorizations.

The weighted average remaining contractual term for all options and SSARs outstanding at June 30, 2013, was 6.3 years and the aggregate intrinsic value (difference in exercise price and closing price at that date) was $127.2 million. The weighted average remaining contractual term for options and SSARs vested and exercisable at June 30, 2013, was 5.2 years and the aggregate intrinsic value was $119.7 million.

The company received $2.9 million from options exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2013, and the intrinsic value associated with these exercises was $3.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the company received $8.9 million from options exercised, and the intrinsic value associated with these exercises was $9.2 million. The tax benefit associated with the company’s stock compensation programs was $9.2 million for the first six months of 2013 and was reported as other financing activities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

14.Stock-Based Compensation Programs (continued)

These options and SSARs cannot be traded in any equity market. However, based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model, options and SSARs granted in 2013 and 2012 have estimated weighted average fair values at the grant dates of $8.69 and $9.44 per share, respectively. The actual value an employee may realize will depend on the excess of the stock price over the exercise price on the date the option or SSAR is exercised. Consequently, there is no assurance that the value realized by an employee will be at or near the value estimated. The fair values were estimated using the following weighted average assumptions:

	January 2013		January 2012
Expected dividend yield	1.13	%	1.06	%
Expected stock price volatility	22.02	%	30.22	%
Risk-free interest rate	1.02	%	0.84	%
Expected life of options	5.50 years		5.26 years

In addition to stock options and SSARs, the company issues to officers and certain employees restricted shares and restricted stock units, which vest over various periods. Other than the performance-contingent grants discussed below, such restricted shares and restricted stock units generally vest in equal installments over five years. Compensation cost is recorded based upon the estimated fair value of the shares at the grant date.

The following is a summary of restricted stock activity for the six months ended June 30, 2013:

	Number of Shares/Units		Weighted Average Grant Price
Beginning of year	1,763,636		$	28.97
Granted	185,845		46.11
Vested	(476,591	)	26.51
Canceled/forfeited	(5,502	)	34.21
End of period	1,467,388		31.92

In January 2013, the company’s board of directors granted 148,875 performance-contingent restricted stock units (RSUs) to key employees, which will vest in January 2016 depending on the company’s growth in economic valued added (EVA®) dollars using 2012 EVA® dollars generated as the minimum threshold. The number of RSUs that will vest can range between zero and 200 percent of each participant’s assigned award opportunity. Under a previous program, in January 2012 the company’s board of directors granted 223,600 performance-contingent RSUs, to key employees, which will cliff-vest if the company’s return on average invested capital during a 36-month performance period is equal to or exceeds the company’s cost of capital established at the beginning of the performance period. In both RSU programs, if the minimum performance goals are not met, the shares will be forfeited. Grants under the plan are being accounted for as equity awards and compensation expense is recorded based upon the most probable outcome using the closing market price of the shares at the grant date. On a quarterly basis, the company reassesses the probability of the goals being met and adjusts compensation expense as appropriate.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the company recognized expense of $5.7 million ($3.4 million after tax) and $13.4 million ($8.1 million) for share-based compensation arrangements in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the three and six months ended July 1, 2012, the company recognized expense of $6.8 million ($4.1 million after tax) and $13.6 million ($8.3 million after tax), respectively, for such arrangements. At June 30, 2013, there were $44.9 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements. This cost is expected to be recognized in earnings over a weighted average period of 2.4 years.

Certain outstanding options and SSARs were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because they were anti-dilutive (i.e., the sum of the proceeds, including the unrecognized compensation and windfall tax benefits, exceeded the average closing stock price for the period). The options and SSARs excluded totaled 1.4 million in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and 1.4 million and 2.7 million in the three and six months ended July 1, 2012, respectively.

The company declared and paid dividends of $0.13 per share in each of the first two quarters of 2013 and $0.10 per share in each of the first two quarters of 2012.

16.  Financial Instruments and Risk Management

The company employs established risk management policies and procedures, which seek to reduce the company’s commercial risk exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates and prices of the company’s common stock with regard to common share repurchases and the company’s deferred compensation stock plan. However, there can be no assurance that these policies and procedures will be successful. Although the instruments utilized involve varying degrees of credit, market and interest risk, the counterparties to the agreements are expected to perform fully under the terms of the agreements. The company monitors counterparty credit risk, including lenders, on a regular basis, but Ball cannot be certain that all risks will be discerned or that its risk management policies and procedures will always be effective. Additionally, in the event of default under the company’s master derivative agreements, the non-defaulting party has the option to set-off any amounts owed with regard to open derivative positions.

Commodity Price Risk

Aluminum

The company manages commodity price risk in connection with market price fluctuations of aluminum ingot through two different methods. First, the company enters into container sales contracts that include aluminum ingot-based pricing terms that generally reflect the same price fluctuations under commercial purchase contracts for aluminum sheet. The terms include fixed, floating or pass-through aluminum ingot component pricing. Second, the company uses certain derivative instruments such as options and forward contracts as economic and cash flow hedges of commodity price risk where there is not an arrangement in the sales contract to match underlying purchase volumes and pricing with sales volumes and pricing.

16.  Financial Instruments and Risk Management (continued)

The company had aluminum contracts limiting its aluminum exposure with notional amounts of approximately $570 million at June 30, 2013. The aluminum contracts include economic derivative instruments that are undesignated and receive mark to fair value accounting treatment, as well as cash flow hedges that offset sales contracts of various terms and lengths. Cash flow hedges relate to forecasted transactions that expire within the next five years. Included in shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2013, within accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss) is a net after-tax loss of $35.9 million associated with these contracts. A net loss of $22.4 million is expected to be recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings during the next 12 months, substantially all of which will be offset by pricing changes in sales and purchase contracts, thus resulting in little or no earnings impact to Ball.

Steel

Most sales contracts involving our steel products either include provisions permitting the company to pass through some or all steel cost changes incurred or incorporate annually negotiated steel prices.

Interest Rate Risk

The company’s objective in managing exposure to interest rate changes is to minimize the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, the company may use a variety of interest rate swaps, collars and options to manage our mix of floating and fixed-rate debt. Interest rate instruments held by the company at June 30, 2013, included pay-fixed interest rate swaps, which effectively convert variable rate obligations to fixed-rate instruments.

At June 30, 2013, the company had outstanding interest rate swap contracts with notional amounts of approximately $212 million paying fixed rates expiring within the next five years. The net after-tax loss associated with these contracts included in shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2013, within accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss), is insignificant.

Currency Exchange Rate Risk

The company’s objective in managing exposure to currency fluctuations is to limit the exposure of cash flows and earnings from changes associated with currency exchange rate changes through the use of various derivative contracts. In addition, at times the company manages earnings translation volatility through the use of currency option strategies, and the change in the fair value of those options is recorded in the company’s net earnings. The company’s currency translation risk results from the currencies in which we transact business. The company faces currency exposures in our global operations as a result of various factors including intercompany currency denominated loans, selling our products in various currencies, purchasing raw materials in various currencies and tax exposures not denominated in the functional currency. Sales contracts are negotiated with customers to reflect cost changes and, where there is not an exchange pass-through arrangement, the company may use forward and option contracts to manage currency exposures. At June 30, 2013, the company had outstanding exchange forward contracts and option contracts with notional amounts totaling approximately $827 million. Approximately $0.2 million of net after-tax gain related to these contracts is included in accumulated other comprehensive earnings at June 30, 2013, of which a net loss of $1.5 million is expected to be recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings during the next 12 months. The contracts outstanding at June 30, 2013, expire within the next two years.

Common Stock Price Risk

The company’s deferred compensation stock program is subject to variable plan accounting and, accordingly, is marked to fair value using the company’s closing stock price at the end of the related reporting period. Based on current share levels in the program, each $1 change in the company’s stock price has an impact of $1.4 million on pretax earnings. During March and September 2011, the company entered into total return swaps to reduce the company’s earnings exposure to these fair value fluctuations, which were renewed in February 2013 and July 2012 and will be outstanding until March 2014 and September 2013, respectively. The swaps have a notional value of 1 million shares and 300,000 shares, respectively. As of June 30, 2013, the combined fair value of these swaps was a $1.3 million loss. All gains and losses on the total return swaps are recorded in the consolidated statement of earnings in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Collateral Calls

The company’s agreements with its financial counterparties require the company to post collateral in certain circumstances when the negative mark to fair value of the contracts exceeds specified levels. Additionally, the company has collateral posting arrangements with certain customers on these derivative contracts. The cash flows of the margin calls are shown within the investing section of the company’s consolidated statements of cash flows. As of June 30, 2013, the aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position was $46.1 million and no collateral was required to be posted. As of December 31, 2012, the aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position was $11.0 million and no collateral was required to be posted.

Fair Value Measurements

The company has classified all applicable financial derivative assets and liabilities as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and presented those values in the tables below. The company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

The company uses closing spot and forward market prices as published by the London Metal Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Reuters and Bloomberg to determine the fair value of its aluminum, currency, energy and interest rate spot and forward contracts. Option contracts are valued using a Black-Scholes model with observable market inputs for aluminum, currency and interest rates. The company values each financial instrument either internally using a single valuation technique or from a reliable observable market source. The company does not adjust the value of its financial instruments except in determining the fair value of a trade that settles in the future by discounting the value to its present value using 12-month LIBOR as the discount factor. Ball performs validations of our internally derived fair values reported for our financial instruments on a quarterly basis utilizing counterparty valuation statements. The company additionally evaluates counterparty creditworthiness and, as of June 30, 2013, has not identified any circumstances requiring that the reported values of our financial instruments be adjusted.

Net receivables related to the European scrap metal program totaling $18.5 million at June 30, 2013, and $16.7 million at December 31, 2012, were classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

17.  Contingencies

Ball is subject to numerous lawsuits, claims or proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of business, including actions related to product liability; personal injury; the use and performance of company products; warranty matters; patent, trademark or other intellectual property infringement; contractual liability; the conduct of the company’s business; tax reporting in domestic and foreign jurisdictions; workplace safety; and environmental and other matters. The company has also been identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) at several waste disposal sites under U.S. federal and related state environmental statutes and regulations and may have joint and several liability for any investigation and remediation costs incurred with respect to such sites. Some of these lawsuits, claims and proceedings involve substantial amounts, including as described below, and some of the environmental proceedings involve potential monetary costs or sanctions that may be material. Ball has denied liability with respect to many of these lawsuits, claims and proceedings and is vigorously defending such lawsuits, claims and proceedings. The company carries various forms of commercial, property and casualty, and other forms of insurance; however, such insurance may not be applicable or adequate to cover the costs associated with a judgment against Ball with respect to these lawsuits, claims and proceedings. The company does not believe that these lawsuits, claims and proceedings are material individually or in the aggregate. While management believes the company has established adequate accruals for expected future liability with respect to pending lawsuits, claims and proceedings, where the nature and extent of any such liability can be reasonably estimated based upon then presently available information, there can be no assurance that the final resolution of any existing or future lawsuits, claims or proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the liquidity, results of operations or financial condition of the company.

As previously reported, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) considers the company a PRP with respect to the Lowry Landfill site located east of Denver, Colorado. In 1992, the company was served with a lawsuit filed by the City and County of Denver (Denver) and Waste Management of Colorado, Inc., seeking contributions from the company and approximately 38 other companies. The company filed its answer denying the allegations of the complaint. Subsequently in 1992, the company was served with a third-party complaint filed by S.W. Shattuck Chemical Company, Inc., seeking contribution from the company and other companies for the costs associated with cleaning up the Lowry Landfill. The company denied the allegations of the complaint.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

17.  Contingencies (continued)

Also in 1992, Ball entered into a settlement and indemnification agreement with Chemical Waste Management, Inc., and Waste Management of Colorado, Inc. (collectively Waste Management) and Denver pursuant to which Waste Management and Denver dismissed their lawsuit against the company, and Waste Management agreed to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the company from claims and lawsuits brought by governmental agencies and other parties relating to actions seeking contributions or remedial costs from the company for the cleanup of the site. Waste Management, Inc., has agreed to guarantee the obligations of Waste Management. Waste Management and Denver may seek additional payments from the company if the response costs related to the site exceed $319 million. In 2003 Waste Management, Inc., indicated that the cost of the site might exceed $319 million in 2030, approximately three years before the projected completion of the project. The company might also be responsible for payments (based on 1992 dollars) for any additional wastes that may have been disposed of by the company at the site but which are identified after the execution of the settlement agreement. While remediating the site, contaminants were encountered, which could add an additional cleanup cost of approximately $10 million. This additional cleanup cost could, in turn, add approximately $1 million to total site costs for the PRP group.

At this time, there are no Lowry Landfill actions in which the company is actively involved. Based on the information available to the company at this time, we do not believe that this matter will have a material adverse effect upon the liquidity, results of operations or financial condition of the company.

18.  Indemnifications and Guarantees

General Guarantees

The company or its appropriate consolidated direct or indirect subsidiaries have made certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which the specified entity may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities, commitments and guarantees include indemnities to the customers of the subsidiaries in connection with the sales of their packaging and aerospace products and services; guarantees to suppliers of subsidiaries of the company guaranteeing the performance of the respective entity under a purchase agreement, construction contract or other commitment; guarantees in respect of certain foreign subsidiaries’ pension plans; indemnities for liabilities associated with the infringement of third party patents, trademarks or copyrights under various types of agreements; indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility, equipment, furniture and other personal property leases for certain claims arising from such leases; indemnities to governmental agencies in connection with the issuance of a permit or license to the company or a subsidiary; indemnities pursuant to agreements relating to certain joint ventures; indemnities in connection with the sale of businesses or substantially all of the assets and specified liabilities of businesses; and indemnities to directors, officers and employees of the company to the extent permitted under the laws of the State of Indiana and the United States of America. The duration of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees varies and, in certain cases, is indefinite. In addition many of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees do not provide for any limitation on the maximum potential future payments the company could be obligated to make. As such, the company is unable to reasonably estimate its potential exposure under these items.

The company has not recorded any liability for these indemnities, commitments and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The company does, however, accrue for payments under promissory notes and other evidences of incurred indebtedness and for losses for any known contingent liability, including those that may arise from indemnifications, commitments and guarantees, when future payment is both reasonably estimable and probable. Finally, the company carries specific and general liability insurance policies and has obtained indemnities, commitments and guarantees from third party purchasers, sellers and other contracting parties, which the company believes would, in certain circumstances, provide recourse to any claims arising from these indemnifications, commitments and guarantees.

18.  Indemnifications and Guarantees (continued)

Debt Guarantees

The company’s senior notes and senior credit facilities are guaranteed on a full, unconditional and joint and several basis by certain of the company’s material domestic subsidiaries and the domestic subsidiary borrowers, and obligations of the subsidiary borrowers under the senior credit facilities are guaranteed by the company. Loans borrowed under the senior credit facilities by foreign subsidiary borrowers are also effectively guaranteed by certain of the company’s foreign subsidiaries by pledges of stock of the foreign subsidiary borrowers and stock of material foreign subsidiaries. These guarantees are required in support of the notes and credit facilities referred to above, are co-terminous with the terms of the respective note indentures and credit agreements and would require performance upon certain events of default referred to in the respective guarantees. The maximum potential amounts which could be required to be paid under the domestic guarantees are essentially equal to the then outstanding principal and interest under the respective notes and credit agreements, or under the applicable tranche, and the maximum potential amounts that could be required to be paid under the foreign stock pledges by foreign subsidiaries are essentially equal to the value of the stock pledged. The company is not in default under the above notes or credit facilities. The condensed consolidating financial information for the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries is presented in Note 19. Separate financial statements for the guarantor subsidiaries and the non-guarantor subsidiaries are not presented because management has determined that such financial statements are not required by the current regulations.

Accounts Receivable Securitization

Ball Capital Corp. II is a separate, wholly owned corporate entity created for the purchase of accounts receivable from certain of the company’s wholly owned subsidiaries. Ball Capital Corp. II’s assets will be available first to satisfy the claims of its creditors. The company has been designated as the servicer pursuant to an agreement whereby Ball Capital Corp. II may sell and assign the accounts receivable to a commercial lender or lenders. As the servicer, the company is responsible for the servicing, administration and collection of the receivables and is primarily liable for the performance of such obligations. The company, the relevant subsidiaries and Ball Capital Corp. II are not in default under the above credit arrangement.

19.  Subsidiary Guarantees of Debt

The company’s senior notes are guaranteed on a full, unconditional and joint and several basis by certain of the company’s material domestic subsidiaries. Each of the guarantor subsidiaries is 100 percent owned by Ball Corporation. These guarantees are required in support of the notes, are co-terminous with the terms of the respective note indentures and would require performance upon certain events of default referred to in the respective guarantees. The maximum potential amounts that could be required to be paid under the domestic guarantees are essentially equal to the then outstanding principal and interest under the respective notes. The following is unaudited condensed, consolidating financial information for the company, segregating the guarantor subsidiaries and non-guarantor subsidiaries, as of June 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, and July 1, 2012. Separate financial statements for the guarantor subsidiaries and the non-guarantor subsidiaries are not presented because management has determined that such financial statements are not required by the current regulations.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Item 1 of this report, which include additional information about our accounting policies, practices and the transactions underlying our financial results. The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes including various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes, environmental and other matters arising during the normal course of business. We apply our best judgment, our knowledge of existing facts and circumstances and our knowledge of actions that we may undertake in the future in determining the estimates that will affect our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis using our historical experience, as well as other factors we believe appropriate under the circumstances, such as current economic conditions, and adjust or revise our estimates as circumstances change. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results may differ from these estimates. Ball Corporation and its controlled affiliates are referred to collectively as “Ball Corporation,” “Ball,” “the company,” “we” or “our” in the following discussion and analysis.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Business Overview and Industry Trends

Ball Corporation is one of the world’s leading suppliers of metal packaging to the beverage, food, personal care and household products industries. Our packaging products are produced for a variety of end uses, are manufactured in facilities around the world and are competitive with other substrates, such as plastics and glass. In the rigid packaging industry, sales and earnings can be increased by reducing costs, increasing prices, developing new products, expanding volumes and making strategic acquisitions. We also provide aerospace and other technologies and services to governmental and commercial customers.

We sell our packaging products mainly to large, multinational beverage, food, personal care and household products companies with which we have developed long-term customer relationships. This is evidenced by our high customer retention and our large number of long-term supply contracts. While we have a diversified customer base, we sell a majority of our packaging products to relatively few major companies in North America, Europe, the PRC and South America, as do our equity joint ventures in the U.S. and Vietnam. The overall metal container industry is growing globally and is expected to continue to grow in the medium to long term despite the North American market seeing a continued decline. The primary customers for the products and services provided by our aerospace and technologies segment are U.S. government agencies or their prime contractors.

We purchase our raw materials from relatively few suppliers. We also have exposure to inflation, in particular the rising costs of raw materials, as well as other direct cost inputs. We mitigate our exposure to the changes in the costs of metal through the inclusion of provisions in a majority of our packaging sales contracts to pass through metal price changes, as well as through the use of derivative instruments. The pass-through provisions generally result in proportional increases or decreases in sales and costs with a greatly reduced impact, if any, on net earnings. Because of our customer and supplier concentration, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by the loss, insolvency or bankruptcy of a major customer or supplier or a change in a supply agreement with a major customer or supplier, although our contract provisions generally mitigate the risk of customer loss, and our long-term relationships represent a known, stable customer base.

We recognize sales under long-term contracts in the aerospace and technologies segment using percentage-of-completion under the cost-to-cost method of accounting. Throughout the period of contract performance, we regularly reevaluate and, if necessary, revise our estimates of aerospace and technologies total contract revenue, total contract cost and progress toward completion. Because of contract payment schedules, limitations on funding and other contract terms, our sales and accounts receivable for this segment include amounts that have been earned but not yet billed.

Corporate Strategy

Our Drive for 10 vision encompasses five strategic levers that are key to growing our business and achieving long-term success. During 2012 and the first half of 2013, we made progress on each of our Drive for 10 levers as described in the following:

·maximizing value in our existing businesses through reducing standard beverage container and end capacity in North America and the expansion of specialty container production to meet current demand; redeployment of surplus equipment to other global locations; closure of certain metal beverage and metal food and aerosol packaging facilities; and relocating our European headquarters to Zurich, Switzerland, to gain business, customer and supplier efficiencies;

·expanding further into new products and capabilities through expansion into extruded aluminum aerosol manufacturing with our Mexican acquisition in December 2012;

·aligning ourselves with the right customers and markets by investing capital to meet double-digit volume growth for specialty beverage containers throughout the global network;

·broadening our geographic reach with the construction and start up of three beverage container manufacturing facilities in China, Brazil and Vietnam, as well as the award of a South Korean environmental instrument in our aerospace business; and

·leveraging our technological expertise in packaging innovation and aerospace technologies to maintain our competitive advantage today and in the future.

These ongoing business developments help us stay close to our customers while expanding and/or sustaining our industry positions with major beverage, food, personal care, household products and aerospace customers.

RESULTS OF CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONS

Consolidated Sales and Earnings

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30,			July 1,			June 30,			July 1,
($ in millions)	2013			2012			2013			2012
Net sales	$	2,202.4		$	2,296.3		$	4,193.4		$	4,339.0
Net earnings attributable to Ball Corporation	95.1			139.5			167.1			227.8
Net earnings attributable to Ball Corporation as a % of consolidated net sales	4.3		%	6.1		%	4.0		%	5.3		%

Sales in the second quarter and first six months of 2013 decreased compared to the same periods in 2012 due to lower metal beverage container sales volumes in North America and Europe, partially offset by higher metal food and aerosol container volumes and higher aerospace program revenues. In addition to the business segment performance analyzed below, net earnings attributable to Ball Corporation decreased due to higher business consolidation and other activities and higher debt refinancing costs in 2013, partially offset by a lower tax rate in 2013. These items are detailed in the “Management Performance Measures” section below.

Cost of Sales (Excluding Depreciation and Amortization)

Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization, was $1,798.9 million and $3,442.4 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively, compared to $1,890.8 million and $3,578.5 million for the same periods in 2012. These amounts represented 81.7 percent and 82.1 percent of consolidated net sales for the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively, and 82.3 percent and 82.5 percent for the same periods in 2012.

36

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense was $74.5 million and $147.0 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively, compared to $66.5 million and $135.5 million for the same periods in 2012. These amounts represented 3.4 percent and 3.5 percent of consolidated net sales for the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively, compared to 2.9 percent and 3.1 percent for the same periods in 2012.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $102.9 million and $212.2 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively, compared to $98.6 million and $198.2 million for the same periods in 2012. These amounts represented 4.7 percent and 5.1 percent of consolidated net sales for the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively, and 4.3 percent and 4.6 percent for the same periods in 2012. The increased SG&A expense was primarily due to higher employee costs and other higher costs that were individually insignificant.

Interest and Taxes

Consolidated interest expense was $74.4 million and $119.2 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively, compared to $44.7 million and $105.1 million for the same periods in 2012. Interest expense in the second quarter of 2013 included $26.7 million for the tender and call premiums, as well as the write off of unamortized financing costs and issuance discounts related to the tender of our 7.125 percent senior notes due September 2016, the repayment of the Term A Loan and the amendment and extension of the senior credit facilities. Interest expense in the first quarter of 2012 included $15.1 million for the call premium and the write off of unamortized financing costs and issuance discounts related to the tender of our 6.625 percent senior notes due March 2018. Interest expense as a percentage of average monthly borrowings was 5.2 percent and 5.1 percent in the second quarter and first six months of 2013 compared to 5.4 percent for both of the comparable periods in 2012. Lower average borrowings rates in 2013 were offset by higher average debt levels and the timing difference of the issuance of $1 billion senior notes due in 2023 versus the tender and call of the 2016 senior notes.

The effective income tax rate for earnings from continuing operations was 21.5 percent for the first six months of 2013 compared to 24.8 percent for the first six months of 2012. The lower tax rate in 2013 was primarily the result of the retroactive extension of the research and development credit, a lower projected foreign tax rate and lower U.S. taxes on foreign earnings, partially offset by the 2012 releases of uncertain tax positions which exceeded those occurring in 2013. The full-year 2013 effective income tax rate on continuing operations is expected to be approximately 27 percent.

RESULTS OF BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Ball’s operations are organized and reviewed by management along its product lines and geographical areas and presented in the four reportable segments discussed below. On January 1, 2013, the company implemented changes to its management and internal reporting structure. As a result, the European extruded aluminum business, which was previously included in the metal beverage packaging, Europe, segment, is now included in the metal food and household products packaging segment. The segment results and disclosures for the three and six months ended July 1, 2012, and the financial position at December 31, 2012, have been retrospectively adjusted to conform to the current year presentation.

(a)Further details of these items are included in Note 5 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements within Item 1 of this report.

The metal beverage packaging, Americas and Asia, segment consists of operations located in the U.S., Canada, Brazil and the PRC, which manufacture aluminum containers used in beverage packaging, as well as non-beverage plastic containers manufactured and sold in the PRC.

Segment sales in the second quarter and first six months of 2013 were $121.3 million and $175.8 million lower compared to the same periods in 2012, respectively. The decreases in the second quarter and first six months were due to lower sales volumes of $94 million and $160 million, respectively, principally related to lower standard 12-ounce container sales volumes in North America.

Segment earnings in the second quarter and first six months of 2013 were $11.1 million and $12.6 million lower compared to the same periods in 2012, respectively. The decrease in second quarter earnings was mainly due to $47 million of lower standard 12-ounce container sales volumes in North America and unfavorable net pricing in the PRC, partially offset by improved manufacturing and other performance of $36 million. The decrease in earnings in the first six months was due to lower standard 12-ounce container sales volumes in North America of $63 million, partially offset by improved manufacturing and other performance of $51 million.

(a)Further details of these items are included in Note 5 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements within Item 1 of this report.

The metal beverage packaging, Europe, segment includes the manufacture and sale of metal beverage containers in facilities located throughout Europe.

Segment sales in the second quarter and first six months of 2013 were $3.0 million and $14.6 million lower compared to the same periods in 2012, primarily due to lower sales volumes and unfavorable product mix.

Segment earnings in the second quarter and first six months of 2013 were $4.2 million and $15.8 million lower, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012, primarily due to the lower sales volumes and higher input and labor costs.

Metal Food and Household Products Packaging

(a)Further details of these items are included in Note 5 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements within Item 1 of this report.

The metal food and household products packaging segment consists of operations located in the U.S., Europe, Canada, Mexico and Argentina that manufacture and sell metal food, aerosol, paint, general line and extruded aluminum containers, as well as decorative specialty containers and aluminum slugs. In December 2012, we acquired a manufacturing facility from Envases, a leading producer of extruded aluminum aerosol packaging in Mexico with one manufacturing facility.

Segment sales in the second quarter and first six months of 2013 were $10.6 million higher and $1.1 million lower, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012. Higher sales in the second quarter were due largely to sales from the Mexico acquisition and higher sales volumes of tinplate products. Lower sales in the first six months were due to lower tinplate product sales volumes, offset by higher sales from the Mexico acquisition.

39

Segment earnings in the second quarter and first six months of 2013 were $5.9 million and $1.4 million higher, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012. Higher earnings in the second quarter were due to improved manufacturing performance and higher sales volumes. Higher earnings in the first six months were due to improved manufacturing performance, offset by higher cost inventory carried into 2013.

Aerospace and Technologies

(a)Further details of these items are included in Note 5 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements within Item 1 of this report.

The aerospace and technologies segment consists of the manufacture and sale of aerospace and other related products and services provided for the defense, civil space and commercial space industries.

Segment sales in the second quarter and first six months of 2013 were $15.8 million and $45.6 million higher, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012 as a result of higher sales from U.S. national defense contracts. Despite the higher sales in the second quarter and first six months, earnings were $1.1 million and $2.9 million lower, respectively, due to the timing of program start-ups and net favorable non-recurring adjustments on fixed price contracts in 2012 that did not occur in 2013.

The aerospace and technologies contract mix in the first six months of 2013 consisted of 62 percent cost-type contracts, which are billed at our costs plus an agreed upon and/or earned profit component, and 36 percent fixed-price contracts. The remainder represented time and material contracts, which typically provide for the sale of labor at fixed hourly rates. Contracted backlog was $966 million at June 30, 2013, compared to $1.0 billion at December 31, 2012. The backlog at June 30, 2013, consisted of 51 percent fixed price contracts. Comparisons of backlog are not necessarily indicative of the trend of future operations due to the nature of varying delivery and milestone schedules on contracts and funding of programs.

Additional Segment Information

For additional information regarding our segments, see the business segment information in Note 3 accompanying the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included within Item 1 of this report. The charges recorded for business consolidation and other activities were based on estimates by management and were developed from information available at the time the amounts were recognized. If actual outcomes vary from the estimates, the differences will be reflected in current period earnings in the statement of earnings and identified as business consolidation gains and losses. Additional details about our business consolidation and other activities, as well as the associated costs, are provided in Note 5 accompanying the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included within Item 1 of this report.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash provided by operating activities and external committed borrowings. We believe that cash flows from operations and cash provided by short-term and committed revolver borrowings, when necessary, will be sufficient to meet our ongoing operating requirements, scheduled principal and interest payments on debt, dividend payments and anticipated capital expenditures. The following summarizes our cash flows:

	Six Months Ended
	June 30,			July 1,
($ in millions)	2013			2012
Cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities	$	(57.5	)	$	74.7
Cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities	(218.2		)	(154.7		)
Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities	276.5			34.5

Cash flows from operations in the first six months of 2013 were lower than in the first six months of 2012 due to unfavorable working capital changes. The unfavorable working capital changes were primarily related to higher inventory days on hand, partially offset by higher days payable outstanding. Inventory days on hand (annualized) increased from 51 days to 56 days, and days payable outstanding (annualized) increased from 42 days to 49 days. Days sales outstanding (annualized) were 46 days for both periods.

We have several regional uncommitted accounts receivable factoring programs with various financial institutions for certain receivables of the company. The programs are accounted for as true sales of the receivables, without recourse to us, and had combined limits of approximately $214 million at June 30, 2013. A total of $116.4 million and $75.0 million were sold under these programs as of June 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Contributions to our defined benefit plans, not including the unfunded German plans, are expected to be approximately $95 million in 2013, of which $85.3 million was contributed as of June 30, 2013. This estimate may change based on changes in the Pension Protection Act and actual plan asset performance, among other factors. Payments to participants in the unfunded German plans are expected to be approximately $22 million for the full year.

We expect 2013 capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment to be approximately $400 million, and approximately $140 million was contractually committed as of June 30, 2013. Capital expenditures are expected to be funded by cash flows from operations.

During July 2013, we signed a compensation agreement with the PRC government to vacate our Shenzhen manufacturing facility and relocate the production equipment by the end of September 2013. The proceeds from the compensation agreement are expected to offset the costs related to the closure and relocation of the Shenzhen facility.

Share Repurchases

Our share repurchases, net of issuances, totaled $202.3 million in the first six months of 2013 compared to $248.7 million in the first six months of 2012. We purchased an additional $43.9 million of common stock between July 1, 2013, and July 31, 2013.The repurchases were completed using cash on hand and available borrowings and included accelerated share repurchase agreements and other purchases under our ongoing share repurchase program. Additional details about our share repurchase activities are provided in Note 13 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements within Item 1 of this report on Form 10-Q.

Debt Facilities and Refinancing

Given our cash flow projections and unused credit facilities that are available until June 2018, our liquidity is expected to meet our ongoing cash and debt service requirements. Interest-bearing debt was $3.8 billion at June 30, 2013, compared to $3.3 billion at December 31, 2012.

41

In May 2013, we (1) issued $1 billion of 4.00 percent senior notes due in November 2023; (2) tendered for the redemption of our 7.125 percent senior notes originally due in September 2016 in the amount of $375 million, at a redemption price per note of 105.322 percent of the outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest; and (3) repaid the $125 million Term A loan, which was a component of the senior credit facilities. The redemption of the senior notes, all of which occurred in the second quarter, and the early repayment of the Term A loan resulted in charges of $26.3 million for the tender and call premiums, as well as the write off of unamortized financing costs and issuance discounts. These charges are included as a component of interest expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of earnings.

In June 2013, we amended the senior credit facilities and extended the term from December 2015 to June 2018. In connection with the amendment, we recorded a charge of $0.4 million for the write off of unamortized financing costs. The charge is included as a component of interest expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of earnings.

At June 30, 2013, approximately $926 million was available under our long-term, multi-currency committed revolving credit facilities. In addition to these facilities, we had approximately $583 million of short-term uncommitted credit facilities available at June 30, 2013, of which $169.3 million was outstanding and due on demand.

In August 2011, we entered into an accounts receivable securitization agreement for a term of three years, as amended from time to time. The maximum we can borrow under the amended agreement can vary between $85 million and $210 million depending on the seasonal accounts receivable balances in our North American packaging businesses. At June 30, 2013, $144.0 million of accounts receivable were sold under the securitization agreement. There were no accounts receivable sold under this agreement at December 31, 2012. Borrowings under the securitization agreement are included within the short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt line on the balance sheet.

On March 9, 2012, we issued $750 million of 5.00 percent senior notes due in March 2022. On the same date, we tendered for the redemption of our 6.625 percent senior notes originally due in March 2018 in the amount of $450 million, at a redemption price per note of 102.583 percent of the outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest. At July 1, 2012, $392.7 million had been redeemed, and the remaining $57.3 million was redeemed during April 2012. The redemption of the bonds resulted in a charge of $15.1 million for the call premium and the write off of unamortized financing costs and premiums. The charge is included as a component of interest expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of earnings.

The U.S. note agreements, bank credit agreement and accounts receivable securitization agreement contain certain restrictions relating to dividends, investments, financial ratios, guarantees and the incurrence of additional indebtedness. Our bank credit agreement debt covenants require us to maintain an interest coverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of no less than 3.50 and a leverage ratio (as defined) of no greater than 4.00. We were in compliance with all loan agreements and debt covenants at June 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, and have met all debt payment obligations. Additional details about our debt and receivables sales agreements are available in Note 11 accompanying the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements within Item 1 of this report.

Management Performance Measures

Management internally uses various measures to evaluate company performance such as return on average invested capital (net operating earnings after tax over the relevant performance period divided by average invested capital over the same period); economic value added (EVA®) dollars (net operating earnings after tax less a capital charge on average invested capital employed); earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT); earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA); diluted earnings per share; cash flow from operating activities and free cash flow (generally defined by the company as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures). These financial measures may be adjusted at times for items that affect comparability between periods such as business consolidation costs and gains or losses on acquisitions and dispositions. Nonfinancial measures in the packaging businesses include production efficiency and spoilage rates; quality control figures; environmental, health and safety statistics; production and sales volumes; asset utilization rates; and measures of sustainability. Additional measures used to evaluate financial performance in the aerospace and technologies segment include contract revenue realization, award and incentive fees realized, proposal win rates and backlog (including awarded, contracted and funded backlog).

The following financial measurements are on a non-U.S. GAAP basis and should be considered in connection with the consolidated financial statements within Item 1 of this report. Non-U.S. GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation and should not be considered superior to, or a substitute for, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A presentation of earnings in accordance with U.S. GAAP is available in Item 1 of this report.

CONTINGENCIES, INDEMNIFICATIONS AND GUARANTEES

Details about the company’s contingencies, indemnifications and guarantees are available in Notes 18 and 19 accompanying the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included within Item 1 of this report.

Item 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

In the ordinary course of business, the company employs established risk management policies and procedures, which seek to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates, exchange currencies and prices of the company’s common stock in regard to common share repurchases, although there can be no assurance that these policies and procedures will be successful. The company mitigates its exposure by spreading the risk among various counterparties, thus limiting exposure with any one party. The company also monitors the credit ratings of its suppliers, customers, lenders and counterparties on a regular basis. Further details are available in Item 7A within Ball’s 2012 annual report filed on February 22, 2013, and in Note 17 accompanying the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included within Item 1 of this report.

Item 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer participated in management’s evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as of the end of the period covered by this report and concluded that our controls and procedures were effective. There were no material changes to internal controls during the company’s first six months of 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES

LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

In connection with the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the Reform Act), Ball is hereby filing cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause Ball’s actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements of Ball. Forward-looking statements may be made in several different contexts; for example, in the quarterly and annual earnings news releases, the quarterly earnings conference calls hosted by the company, public presentations at investor and credit conferences, the company’s Annual Report and in annual and periodic communications with investors. The Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements. As time passes, the relevance and accuracy of forward-looking statements may change. You are advised to consult any further disclosures Ball makes on related subjects in our 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Reform Act defines forward-looking statements as statements that express or imply an expectation or belief and contain a projection, plan or assumption with regard to, among other things, future revenues, income, earnings per share, cash flow or capital structure. Such statements of future events or performance involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and are accompanied by, the following important factors that could cause Ball’s actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of Ball.

Some important factors that could cause Ball’s actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied and discussed in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

· Fluctuation in customer and consumer growth, demand and preferences, particularly during the months when the demand for metal beverage beer and soft drink cans is heaviest; loss of one or more major customers or suppliers or changes to contracts with one or more customers or suppliers; manufacturing overcapacity or under capacity; failure to achieve anticipated productivity improvements or production cost reductions including those associated with capital expenditures; changes in climate and weather; fruit, vegetable and fishing yields; interest rates affecting our debt; labor strikes and work stoppages; antitrust, intellectual property, consumer and other litigation; level of maintenance and capital expenditures; capital availability; economic conditions; and acts of war, terrorism or catastrophic events.

· Competition in pricing and the possible decrease in, or loss of, sales resulting therefrom.

· The timing and extent of regulation or deregulation; competition in each line of business; product development and introductions; and technology changes.

· Ball’s ability or inability to have available sufficient production capacity in a timely manner.

· Overcapacity in metal container industry production facilities and its impact on costs, pricing and financial results.

· Regulatory action or federal, state, local or foreign laws, including mandatory deposit or restrictive packaging legislation such as recycling laws.

· Regulatory action or laws including tax, environmental, health and workplace safety, including in respect of climate change, or chemicals or substances used in raw materials or in the manufacturing process, particularly publicity concerning Bisphenol-A, or BPA, a chemical used in the manufacture of epoxy coatings applied to many types of containers (including certain of those products produced by the company).

· Regulations and standards, including changes in generally accepted accounting principles or their interpretation.

· Loss contingencies related to income and other tax matters, including those arising from audits performed by national and local tax authorities.

1

· The availability and cost of raw materials, supplies, power and natural resources needed for the production of metal containers as well as aerospace products.

· Changes in senior management; increases and trends in various employee benefits and labor costs, including pension, medical and health care costs incurred in the countries in which Ball has operations; rates of return projected and earned on assets and discount rates used to measure future obligations and expenses of the company’s defined retirement plans; and changes in the company’s pension plans.

· The ability or inability to pass on to customers changes in raw material cost, particularly steel and aluminum.

· The ongoing global recession, and its effects on liquidity, credit risk, asset values and the economy; international business and market risks (including foreign exchange rates or tax rates); political and economic instability in various markets, including periodic sell-offs on global equity markets; restrictive trade practices of national governments; the imposition of duties, taxes or other government charges by national governments; exchange controls; ongoing uncertainties surrounding sovereign debt of various European countries, as well as rating agency downgrades of various government debt.

· Changes in foreign exchange rates of the currencies in the countries in which the company and its joint ventures carry on business.

· Undertaking successful and unsuccessful acquisitions, joint ventures and divestitures and the integration activities associated with acquisitions and joint ventures.

· The ability or inability to achieve technological and product extensions or new technological and product advances in the company’s businesses.

· Delays, extensions and technical uncertainties, as well as schedules of performance associated with contracts for aerospace products and services, and the success or lack of success of satellite launches and the businesses and governments associated with aerospace products, services and launches.

· The authorization, funding and availability and returns of government contracts and the nature and continuation of those contracts and related services provided thereunder, as well as the delay, cancellation or termination of contracts for the United States government, other customers or other government contractors.

· Actual versus estimated business consolidation and investment exit costs and the estimated net realizable values of assets associated with such activities; and goodwill impairment.

· Changes to unaudited results due to statutory audits of our financial statements or management’s evaluation of the company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Business Segment Information

Business Segment Information

3. Business Segment Information

Ball’s operations are organized and reviewed by management along its product lines and geographical areas and presented in the four reportable segments discussed below. On January 1, 2013, the company implemented changes to its management and internal reporting structure. As a result, the European extruded aluminum business, which was previously included in the metal beverage packaging, Europe, segment, is now included in the metal food and household products packaging segment. The segment results and disclosures for the three and six months ended July 1, 2012, and the financial position at December 31, 2012, have been retrospectively adjusted to conform to the current year presentation.

Metal beverage packaging, Americas and Asia:  Consists of the metal beverage packaging, Americas, operations in the U.S., Canada and Brazil, and the metal beverage packaging, Asia, operations in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The Americas and Asia segments have been aggregated based on similar economic and qualitative characteristics. The operations in this reporting segment manufacture and sell metal beverage containers, and also manufacture and sell non-beverage plastic containers in the PRC.

Metal beverage packaging, Europe:  Consists of operations in several countries in Europe, which manufacture and sell metal beverage containers.

Metal food and household products packaging:  Consists of operations in the U.S., Europe, Canada, Mexico and Argentina, which manufacture and sell steel food, aerosol, paint, general line and decorative specialty containers, as well as extruded aluminum beverage and aerosol containers and aluminum slugs.

Aerospace and technologies:  Consists of the manufacture and sale of aerospace and other related products and the providing of services used in the defense, civil space and commercial space industries.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. A discussion of the company’s critical and significant accounting policies can be found in Ball’s annual report. The company also has investments in companies in the U.S. and Vietnam, which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and, accordingly, those results are not included in segment sales or earnings.

Ball is subject to numerous lawsuits, claims or proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of business, including actions related to product liability; personal injury; the use and performance of company products; warranty matters; patent, trademark or other intellectual property infringement; contractual liability; the conduct of the company’s business; tax reporting in domestic and foreign jurisdictions; workplace safety; and environmental and other matters. The company has also been identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) at several waste disposal sites under U.S. federal and related state environmental statutes and regulations and may have joint and several liability for any investigation and remediation costs incurred with respect to such sites. Some of these lawsuits, claims and proceedings involve substantial amounts, including as described below, and some of the environmental proceedings involve potential monetary costs or sanctions that may be material. Ball has denied liability with respect to many of these lawsuits, claims and proceedings and is vigorously defending such lawsuits, claims and proceedings. The company carries various forms of commercial, property and casualty, and other forms of insurance; however, such insurance may not be applicable or adequate to cover the costs associated with a judgment against Ball with respect to these lawsuits, claims and proceedings. The company does not believe that these lawsuits, claims and proceedings are material individually or in the aggregate. While management believes the company has established adequate accruals for expected future liability with respect to pending lawsuits, claims and proceedings, where the nature and extent of any such liability can be reasonably estimated based upon then presently available information, there can be no assurance that the final resolution of any existing or future lawsuits, claims or proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the liquidity, results of operations or financial condition of the company.

As previously reported, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) considers the company a PRP with respect to the Lowry Landfill site located east of Denver, Colorado. In 1992, the company was served with a lawsuit filed by the City and County of Denver (Denver) and Waste Management of Colorado, Inc., seeking contributions from the company and approximately 38 other companies. The company filed its answer denying the allegations of the complaint. Subsequently in 1992, the company was served with a third-party complaint filed by S.W. Shattuck Chemical Company, Inc., seeking contribution from the company and other companies for the costs associated with cleaning up the Lowry Landfill. The company denied the allegations of the complaint.

Also in 1992, Ball entered into a settlement and indemnification agreement with Chemical Waste Management, Inc., and Waste Management of Colorado, Inc. (collectively Waste Management) and Denver pursuant to which Waste Management and Denver dismissed their lawsuit against the company, and Waste Management agreed to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the company from claims and lawsuits brought by governmental agencies and other parties relating to actions seeking contributions or remedial costs from the company for the cleanup of the site. Waste Management, Inc., has agreed to guarantee the obligations of Waste Management. Waste Management and Denver may seek additional payments from the company if the response costs related to the site exceed $319 million. In 2003 Waste Management, Inc., indicated that the cost of the site might exceed $319 million in 2030, approximately three years before the projected completion of the project. The company might also be responsible for payments (based on 1992 dollars) for any additional wastes that may have been disposed of by the company at the site but which are identified after the execution of the settlement agreement. While remediating the site, contaminants were encountered, which could add an additional cleanup cost of approximately $10 million. This additional cleanup cost could, in turn, add approximately $1 million to total site costs for the PRP group.

At this time, there are no Lowry Landfill actions in which the company is actively involved. Based on the information available to the company at this time, we do not believe that this matter will have a material adverse effect upon the liquidity, results of operations or financial condition of the company.

In May 2013, Ball: (1) issued $1 billion of 4.00 percent senior notes due in November 2023; (2) tendered for the redemption of its 7.125 percent senior notes originally due in September 2016 in the amount of $375 million, at a redemption price per note of 105.322 percent of the outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest; and (3) repaid the $125 million Term A loan, which was a component of the senior credit facilities. The redemption of the senior notes, all of which occurred in the second quarter, and the early repayment of the Term A loan resulted in charges of $26.3 million for the tender and call premiums, as well as the write off of unamortized financing costs and issuance discounts. These charges are included as a component of interest expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of earnings.

The senior credit facilities bear interest at variable rates and include the term loans described in the table above, as well as a long-term, multi-currency committed revolving credit facility that provides the company with up to the U.S. dollar equivalent of $1 billion. In June 2013, the company amended the senior credit facilities and extended the term from December 2015 to June 2018. In connection with the amendment, the company recorded a charge of $0.4 million for the write off of unamortized financing costs. The charge is included as a component of interest expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of earnings.

At June 30, 2013, taking into account outstanding letters of credit and facility borrowings, approximately $926 million was available under the company’s long-term, multi-currency committed revolving credit facilities, which are available until June 2018. In addition to these facilities, the company had approximately $583 million of short-term uncommitted credit facilities available at the end of the quarter, of which $169.3 million was outstanding and due on demand.

The fair value of the long-term debt at June 30, 2013, and at December 31, 2012, approximated its carrying value. The fair value reflects the market rates at each period end for debt with credit ratings similar to the company’s ratings. Rates currently available to the company for loans with similar terms and maturities are used to estimate the fair value of long-term debt based on discounted cash flows.

In August 2011, the company entered into an accounts receivable securitization agreement for a term of three years, as amended from time to time. The maximum the company can borrow under the amended agreement can vary between $85 million and $210 million depending on the seasonal accounts receivable balances in the company’s North American packaging businesses. At June 30, 2013, $144.0 million of accounts receivable were sold under the securitization agreement. There were no accounts receivable sold under this agreement at December 31, 2012. Borrowings under the securitization agreement are included within short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt on the balance sheet.

On March 9, 2012, Ball issued $750 million of 5.00 percent senior notes due in March 2022. On the same date, the company tendered for the redemption of its 6.625 percent senior notes originally due in March 2018 in the amount of $450 million, at a redemption price per note of 102.583 percent of the outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest. The company redeemed $392.7 million during the first quarter of 2012, and the remaining $57.3 million was redeemed during the second quarter. The redemption of the bonds resulted in a charge of $15.1 million for the call premium and the write off of unamortized financing costs and premiums. The charge is included as a component of interest expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of earnings.

The senior notes and senior credit facilities are guaranteed on a full, unconditional and joint and several basis by certain of the company’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries. Certain foreign denominated tranches of the senior credit facilities are similarly guaranteed by certain of the company’s wholly owned foreign subsidiaries. Note 19 contains further details, as well as required unaudited condensed consolidating financial information for the company, segregating the guarantor subsidiaries and non-guarantor subsidiaries as defined in the senior notes agreements.

The U.S. note agreements, bank credit agreement and accounts receivable securitization agreement contain certain restrictions relating to dividend payments, share repurchases, investments, financial ratios, guarantees and the incurrence of additional indebtedness. The most restrictive of the company’s debt covenants require the company to maintain an interest coverage ratio (as defined in the agreements) of no less than 3.50 and a leverage ratio (as defined) of no greater than 4.00. The company was in compliance with all loan agreements and debt covenants at June 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, and has met all debt payment obligations.

The Latapack-Ball debt facilities contain various covenants and restrictions but are non-recourse to Ball Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

Subsidiary Guarantees of Debt

Subsidiary Guarantees of Debt

19.  Subsidiary Guarantees of Debt

The company’s senior notes are guaranteed on a full, unconditional and joint and several basis by certain of the company’s material domestic subsidiaries. Each of the guarantor subsidiaries is 100 percent owned by Ball Corporation. These guarantees are required in support of the notes, are co-terminous with the terms of the respective note indentures and would require performance upon certain events of default referred to in the respective guarantees. The maximum potential amounts that could be required to be paid under the domestic guarantees are essentially equal to the then outstanding principal and interest under the respective notes. The following is unaudited condensed, consolidating financial information for the company, segregating the guarantor subsidiaries and non-guarantor subsidiaries, as of June 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, and July 1, 2012. Separate financial statements for the guarantor subsidiaries and the non-guarantor subsidiaries are not presented because management has determined that such financial statements are not required by the current regulations.

Indemnifications and Guarantees

18.  Indemnifications and Guarantees

General Guarantees

The company or its appropriate consolidated direct or indirect subsidiaries have made certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which the specified entity may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities, commitments and guarantees include indemnities to the customers of the subsidiaries in connection with the sales of their packaging and aerospace products and services; guarantees to suppliers of subsidiaries of the company guaranteeing the performance of the respective entity under a purchase agreement, construction contract or other commitment; guarantees in respect of certain foreign subsidiaries’ pension plans; indemnities for liabilities associated with the infringement of third party patents, trademarks or copyrights under various types of agreements; indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility, equipment, furniture and other personal property leases for certain claims arising from such leases; indemnities to governmental agencies in connection with the issuance of a permit or license to the company or a subsidiary; indemnities pursuant to agreements relating to certain joint ventures; indemnities in connection with the sale of businesses or substantially all of the assets and specified liabilities of businesses; and indemnities to directors, officers and employees of the company to the extent permitted under the laws of the State of Indiana and the United States of America. The duration of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees varies and, in certain cases, is indefinite. In addition many of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees do not provide for any limitation on the maximum potential future payments the company could be obligated to make. As such, the company is unable to reasonably estimate its potential exposure under these items.

The company has not recorded any liability for these indemnities, commitments and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The company does, however, accrue for payments under promissory notes and other evidences of incurred indebtedness and for losses for any known contingent liability, including those that may arise from indemnifications, commitments and guarantees, when future payment is both reasonably estimable and probable. Finally, the company carries specific and general liability insurance policies and has obtained indemnities, commitments and guarantees from third party purchasers, sellers and other contracting parties, which the company believes would, in certain circumstances, provide recourse to any claims arising from these indemnifications, commitments and guarantees.

Debt Guarantees

The company’s senior notes and senior credit facilities are guaranteed on a full, unconditional and joint and several basis by certain of the company’s material domestic subsidiaries and the domestic subsidiary borrowers, and obligations of the subsidiary borrowers under the senior credit facilities are guaranteed by the company. Loans borrowed under the senior credit facilities by foreign subsidiary borrowers are also effectively guaranteed by certain of the company’s foreign subsidiaries by pledges of stock of the foreign subsidiary borrowers and stock of material foreign subsidiaries. These guarantees are required in support of the notes and credit facilities referred to above, are co-terminous with the terms of the respective note indentures and credit agreements and would require performance upon certain events of default referred to in the respective guarantees. The maximum potential amounts which could be required to be paid under the domestic guarantees are essentially equal to the then outstanding principal and interest under the respective notes and credit agreements, or under the applicable tranche, and the maximum potential amounts that could be required to be paid under the foreign stock pledges by foreign subsidiaries are essentially equal to the value of the stock pledged. The company is not in default under the above notes or credit facilities. The condensed consolidating financial information for the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries is presented in Note 19. Separate financial statements for the guarantor subsidiaries and the non-guarantor subsidiaries are not presented because management has determined that such financial statements are not required by the current regulations.

Accounts Receivable Securitization

Ball Capital Corp. II is a separate, wholly owned corporate entity created for the purchase of accounts receivable from certain of the company’s wholly owned subsidiaries. Ball Capital Corp. II’s assets will be available first to satisfy the claims of its creditors. The company has been designated as the servicer pursuant to an agreement whereby Ball Capital Corp. II may sell and assign the accounts receivable to a commercial lender or lenders. As the servicer, the company is responsible for the servicing, administration and collection of the receivables and is primarily liable for the performance of such obligations. The company, the relevant subsidiaries and Ball Capital Corp. II are not in default under the above credit arrangement.

Basis of Presentation

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ball Corporation and its controlled affiliates, including its consolidated variable interest entities (collectively Ball, the company, we or our), and have been prepared by the company. Certain information and footnote disclosures, including critical and significant accounting policies normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted for this quarterly presentation.

Results of operations for the periods shown are not necessarily indicative of results for the year, particularly in view of the seasonality in the packaging segments and the irregularity of contract revenues in the aerospace and technologies segment. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 22, 2013, pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 (annual report).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates are based on historical experience and various assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. However, we believe that the financial statements reflect all adjustments which are of a normal and recurring nature and are necessary to fairly state the results of the interim periods. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period presentation.

Envases del Plata S.A. de C.V. (Envases)

In December 2012, the company acquired Envases, a leading producer of extruded aluminum aerosol packaging in Mexico with a single manufacturing facility in San Luis Potosí, for cash of $56.0 million, net of cash acquired, and assumed debt of $72.7 million. The facility produces extruded aluminum aerosol containers for personal care and household products for customers in North, Central and South America and employs approximately 150 people. The acquisition is expected to provide a platform to grow the company’s existing North American extruded aluminum business, providing a new end market for the company’s products, including the company’s ReAlTM technology that enables the use of recycled material and meaningful lightweighting in the manufacture of extruded aluminum packaging. Based on the preliminary purchase price allocation, goodwill of $64.0 million was recorded at June 30, 2013. The acquisition of Envases is not material to the metal food and household products packaging segment.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2013, amendments to the existing accounting guidance were issued requiring the company to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, the effect of significant amounts reclassified in their entirety from each component of accumulated other comprehensive earnings based on the source into net earnings during the reporting period. For amounts not required to be reclassified in their entirety, the company is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those reclassifications. The new guidance was effective for Ball prospectively on January 1, 2013, and the additional required disclosures are included in Note 13.

In December 2011, accounting guidance was issued requiring disclosures to help reconcile differences in the offsetting requirements under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and international financial reporting standards (IFRS). The new disclosure requirements mandate that companies disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. Further guidance was issued in January 2013 to clarify the intended scope of the required disclosures. The guidance was effective for Ball on January 1, 2013, and did not have a material effect on the company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Guidance

In July 2013, accounting guidance was issued to eliminate diversity in practice for the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists. In general, an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, unless certain exceptions exist. The guidance, which will be effective for Ball on January 1, 2014, is not expected to have a material effect on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

Also in July 2013, accounting guidance was issued to provide for inclusion of the Overnight Index Swap Rate (OIS, also referred to as the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate) as a benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. Prior to this guidance, in the U.S. only interest rates on direct U.S. Treasury obligations and the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) swap rate were considered benchmark interest rates for hedge accounting purposes. The guidance was effective for Ball prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2013, the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission (COSO) issued the 2013 “Internal Control — Integrated Framework” (Framework). The 2013 Framework is expected to: (1) help companies design and implement internal controls in light of the changes in business and operating environments since the issuance of the original Framework, (2) broaden the application of internal controls in addressing operating and reporting objectives and (3) clarify the requirements for determining what constitutes effective internal controls. Implementation of the 2013 Framework is effective for Ball for the year ended December 31, 2014. During the transitional period, companies can continue to use the original Framework but should disclose whether the original or the 2013 Framework was utilized. Ball is continuing to use the original Framework and does not expect the implementation of the 2013 Framework to have a material effect on the company’s established internal controls around financial reporting.

In March 2013, accounting guidance was issued to clarify that a company should release the cumulative translation adjustment into net earnings if the parent ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. The guidance also affects entities that lose a controlling financial interest in an investment in a foreign entity and those that acquire a business in stages by increasing an investment in a foreign entity from one accounted for under the equity method to one accounted for as a consolidated investment. The guidance will be effective for Ball prospectively on January 1, 2014, and is not expected to have a material effect on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Financial Instruments and Risk Management

16.  Financial Instruments and Risk Management

The company employs established risk management policies and procedures, which seek to reduce the company’s commercial risk exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates and prices of the company’s common stock with regard to common share repurchases and the company’s deferred compensation stock plan. However, there can be no assurance that these policies and procedures will be successful. Although the instruments utilized involve varying degrees of credit, market and interest risk, the counterparties to the agreements are expected to perform fully under the terms of the agreements. The company monitors counterparty credit risk, including lenders, on a regular basis, but Ball cannot be certain that all risks will be discerned or that its risk management policies and procedures will always be effective. Additionally, in the event of default under the company’s master derivative agreements, the non-defaulting party has the option to set-off any amounts owed with regard to open derivative positions.

Commodity Price Risk

Aluminum

The company manages commodity price risk in connection with market price fluctuations of aluminum ingot through two different methods. First, the company enters into container sales contracts that include aluminum ingot-based pricing terms that generally reflect the same price fluctuations under commercial purchase contracts for aluminum sheet. The terms include fixed, floating or pass-through aluminum ingot component pricing. Second, the company uses certain derivative instruments such as options and forward contracts as economic and cash flow hedges of commodity price risk where there is not an arrangement in the sales contract to match underlying purchase volumes and pricing with sales volumes and pricing.

The company had aluminum contracts limiting its aluminum exposure with notional amounts of approximately $570 million at June 30, 2013. The aluminum contracts include economic derivative instruments that are undesignated and receive mark to fair value accounting treatment, as well as cash flow hedges that offset sales contracts of various terms and lengths. Cash flow hedges relate to forecasted transactions that expire within the next five years. Included in shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2013, within accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss) is a net after-tax loss of $35.9 million associated with these contracts. A net loss of $22.4 million is expected to be recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings during the next 12 months, substantially all of which will be offset by pricing changes in sales and purchase contracts, thus resulting in little or no earnings impact to Ball.

Steel

Most sales contracts involving our steel products either include provisions permitting the company to pass through some or all steel cost changes incurred or incorporate annually negotiated steel prices.

Interest Rate Risk

The company’s objective in managing exposure to interest rate changes is to minimize the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, the company may use a variety of interest rate swaps, collars and options to manage our mix of floating and fixed-rate debt. Interest rate instruments held by the company at June 30, 2013, included pay-fixed interest rate swaps, which effectively convert variable rate obligations to fixed-rate instruments.

At June 30, 2013, the company had outstanding interest rate swap contracts with notional amounts of approximately $212 million paying fixed rates expiring within the next five years. The net after-tax loss associated with these contracts included in shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2013, within accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss), is insignificant.

Currency Exchange Rate Risk

The company’s objective in managing exposure to currency fluctuations is to limit the exposure of cash flows and earnings from changes associated with currency exchange rate changes through the use of various derivative contracts. In addition, at times the company manages earnings translation volatility through the use of currency option strategies, and the change in the fair value of those options is recorded in the company’s net earnings. The company’s currency translation risk results from the currencies in which we transact business. The company faces currency exposures in our global operations as a result of various factors including intercompany currency denominated loans, selling our products in various currencies, purchasing raw materials in various currencies and tax exposures not denominated in the functional currency. Sales contracts are negotiated with customers to reflect cost changes and, where there is not an exchange pass-through arrangement, the company may use forward and option contracts to manage currency exposures. At June 30, 2013, the company had outstanding exchange forward contracts and option contracts with notional amounts totaling approximately $827 million. Approximately $0.2 million of net after-tax gain related to these contracts is included in accumulated other comprehensive earnings at June 30, 2013, of which a net loss of $1.5 million is expected to be recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings during the next 12 months. The contracts outstanding at June 30, 2013, expire within the next two years.

Common Stock Price Risk

The company’s deferred compensation stock program is subject to variable plan accounting and, accordingly, is marked to fair value using the company’s closing stock price at the end of the related reporting period. Based on current share levels in the program, each $1 change in the company’s stock price has an impact of $1.4 million on pretax earnings. During March and September 2011, the company entered into total return swaps to reduce the company’s earnings exposure to these fair value fluctuations, which were renewed in February 2013 and July 2012 and will be outstanding until March 2014 and September 2013, respectively. The swaps have a notional value of 1 million shares and 300,000 shares, respectively. As of June 30, 2013, the combined fair value of these swaps was a $1.3 million loss. All gains and losses on the total return swaps are recorded in the consolidated statement of earnings in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Collateral Calls

The company’s agreements with its financial counterparties require the company to post collateral in certain circumstances when the negative mark to fair value of the contracts exceeds specified levels. Additionally, the company has collateral posting arrangements with certain customers on these derivative contracts. The cash flows of the margin calls are shown within the investing section of the company’s consolidated statements of cash flows. As of June 30, 2013, the aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position was $46.1 million and no collateral was required to be posted. As of December 31, 2012, the aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position was $11.0 million and no collateral was required to be posted.

Fair Value Measurements

The company has classified all applicable financial derivative assets and liabilities as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and presented those values in the tables below. The company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

The company uses closing spot and forward market prices as published by the London Metal Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Reuters and Bloomberg to determine the fair value of its aluminum, currency, energy and interest rate spot and forward contracts. Option contracts are valued using a Black-Scholes model with observable market inputs for aluminum, currency and interest rates. The company values each financial instrument either internally using a single valuation technique or from a reliable observable market source. The company does not adjust the value of its financial instruments except in determining the fair value of a trade that settles in the future by discounting the value to its present value using 12-month LIBOR as the discount factor. Ball performs validations of our internally derived fair values reported for our financial instruments on a quarterly basis utilizing counterparty valuation statements. The company additionally evaluates counterparty creditworthiness and, as of June 30, 2013, has not identified any circumstances requiring that the reported values of our financial instruments be adjusted.

Net receivables related to the European scrap metal program totaling $18.5 million at June 30, 2013, and $16.7 million at December 31, 2012, were classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

The second quarter included charges of $7.1 million to balance regional supply and demand in the segment by eliminating 12-ounce beverage can production from the company’s Milwaukee, Wisconsin, facility. The charges were composed of $3.6 million for accelerated depreciation, $2.0 million for severance and other employee benefits and $1.5 million for other costs. In addition, the first and second quarters of 2013 included net charges of $1.5 million and $3.9 million, primarily for ongoing costs related to the previously announced closures of Ball’s Columbus, Ohio, and Gainesville, Florida, facilities and voluntary separation programs, as well as other insignificant charges.

Metal Beverage Packaging, Europe, and Corporate

During the first and second quarters, the company recorded charges of $2.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively, primarily for implementation costs incurred in connection with the third quarter 2012 relocation of the company’s European headquarters from Germany to Switzerland.

Metal Food and Household Products Packaging

During the first quarter, the company announced that it will close its Elgin, Illinois, food and household products packaging facility in December 2013. The first and second quarters included charges of $20.8 million and $5.3 million, respectively, in connection with this planned closure. The total charges in the first six months of $26.1 million were composed of $16.0 million for severance, pension and other employee benefits; $4.2 million for the write down of the land and building to net realizable value; and $5.9 million for the accelerated depreciation on assets to be abandoned and other closure costs. Additional charges of approximately $7 million are expected to be recorded during the remainder of 2013 and first quarter of 2014. The Elgin facility produces steel aerosol and specialty cans, as well as flat steel sheet used by other Ball facilities. The plant’s production capabilities will be supplied by other Ball food and household products packaging facilities.

The second quarter also included a charge of $5.9 million to migrate certain hourly employees from a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan as of December 31, 2013, to a Ball-sponsored defined benefit pension plan. Additionally, the first and second quarters included income of $2.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively, to accrue for the reimbursement of funds paid in 2012 for the settlement of certain Canadian defined benefit pension liabilities related to previously closed facilities.

2012

Metal Beverage Packaging, Americas and Asia

The company recorded net charges of $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2012 and a reversal of $0.3 million in the second quarter related to previously closed facilities.

Metal Beverage Packaging, Europe, and Corporate

The first and second quarters of 2012 included charges of $2.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively, for implementation costs incurred in connection with the relocation of the company’s European headquarters from Germany to Switzerland, which was completed during the third quarter of 2012.

An additional $0.4 million of net charges were recorded in the first six months of 2012, primarily to reflect individually insignificant charges related to previously announced business consolidation and other activities.

Following is a summary by segment of the activity in the business consolidation reserves:

Contributions to the company’s defined global benefit pension plans, not including the unfunded German plans, were $85.3 million in the first six months of 2013 ($101.5 million in 2012). The total contributions to these funded plans are expected to be approximately $95 million for the full year. This estimate may change based on changes in the Pension Protection Act and actual plan asset performance, among other factors. Payments to participants in the unfunded German plans were $11.1 million (€8.5 million) in the first six months of 2013 and are expected to be approximately $22 million (approximately €17 million) for the full year.

Stock-Based Compensation Programs

14.  Stock-Based Compensation Programs

The company has shareholder-approved stock plans under which options and stock-settled appreciation rights (SSARs) have been granted to employees at the market value of the company’s stock at the date of grant. In the case of stock options, payment must be made by the employee at the time of exercise in cash or with shares of stock owned by the employee, which are valued at fair market value on the date exercised. For SSARs, the employee receives the share equivalent of the difference between the fair market value on the date exercised and the exercise price of the SSARs exercised. In general, options and SSARs are exercisable in four equal installments commencing one year from the date of grant and terminating 10 years from the date of grant. A summary of stock option and SSAR activity for the six months ended June 30, 2013, follows:

	Outstanding Options and SSARs
	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price
Beginning of year	9,982,104		$	26.71
Granted	1,364,870		45.93
Exercised	(784,180	)	22.90
Canceled/forfeited	(37,525	)	36.68
End of period	10,525,269		29.45
Vested and exercisable, end of period	7,130,019		24.76
Reserved for future grants (a)	12,415,262

(a) On April 24, 2013, Ball’s shareholders approved the 2013 Stock and Cash Incentive Plan, which authorized 12.5 million shares for future option, SSAR and restricted share grants. This authorization replaced all previous authorizations.

The weighted average remaining contractual term for all options and SSARs outstanding at June 30, 2013, was 6.3 years and the aggregate intrinsic value (difference in exercise price and closing price at that date) was $127.2 million. The weighted average remaining contractual term for options and SSARs vested and exercisable at June 30, 2013, was 5.2 years and the aggregate intrinsic value was $119.7 million.

The company received $2.9 million from options exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2013, and the intrinsic value associated with these exercises was $3.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the company received $8.9 million from options exercised, and the intrinsic value associated with these exercises was $9.2 million. The tax benefit associated with the company’s stock compensation programs was $9.2 million for the first six months of 2013 and was reported as other financing activities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

These options and SSARs cannot be traded in any equity market. However, based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model, options and SSARs granted in 2013 and 2012 have estimated weighted average fair values at the grant dates of $8.69 and $9.44 per share, respectively. The actual value an employee may realize will depend on the excess of the stock price over the exercise price on the date the option or SSAR is exercised. Consequently, there is no assurance that the value realized by an employee will be at or near the value estimated. The fair values were estimated using the following weighted average assumptions:

	January 2013		January 2012
Expected dividend yield	1.13	%	1.06	%
Expected stock price volatility	22.02	%	30.22	%
Risk-free interest rate	1.02	%	0.84	%
Expected life of options	5.50 years		5.26 years

In addition to stock options and SSARs, the company issues to officers and certain employees restricted shares and restricted stock units, which vest over various periods. Other than the performance-contingent grants discussed below, such restricted shares and restricted stock units generally vest in equal installments over five years. Compensation cost is recorded based upon the estimated fair value of the shares at the grant date.

The following is a summary of restricted stock activity for the six months ended June 30, 2013:

	Number of Shares/Units		Weighted Average Grant Price
Beginning of year	1,763,636		$	28.97
Granted	185,845		46.11
Vested	(476,591	)	26.51
Canceled/forfeited	(5,502	)	34.21
End of period	1,467,388		31.92

In January 2013, the company’s board of directors granted 148,875 performance-contingent restricted stock units (RSUs) to key employees, which will vest in January 2016 depending on the company’s growth in economic valued added (EVA®) dollars using 2012 EVA® dollars generated as the minimum threshold. The number of RSUs that will vest can range between zero and 200 percent of each participant’s assigned award opportunity. Under a previous program, in January 2012 the company’s board of directors granted 223,600 performance-contingent RSUs, to key employees, which will cliff-vest if the company’s return on average invested capital during a 36-month performance period is equal to or exceeds the company’s cost of capital established at the beginning of the performance period. In both RSU programs, if the minimum performance goals are not met, the shares will be forfeited. Grants under the plan are being accounted for as equity awards and compensation expense is recorded based upon the most probable outcome using the closing market price of the shares at the grant date. On a quarterly basis, the company reassesses the probability of the goals being met and adjusts compensation expense as appropriate.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the company recognized expense of $5.7 million ($3.4 million after tax) and $13.4 million ($8.1 million) for share-based compensation arrangements in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the three and six months ended July 1, 2012, the company recognized expense of $6.8 million ($4.1 million after tax) and $13.6 million ($8.3 million after tax), respectively, for such arrangements. At June 30, 2013, there were $44.9 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements. This cost is expected to be recognized in earnings over a weighted average period of 2.4 years.
