DELAWARE, Ohio (Dec. 9, 2009) – Greif, Inc. (NYSE: GEF, GEF.B), a global leader in industrial packaging products and services, today announced results for its fiscal year and fiscal fourth quarter ended Oct. 31, 2009.
Michael J. Gasser, chairman and chief executive officer, said, “During 2009, we rapidly and decisively adapted to difficult global market conditions and volatile raw material prices, achieved over $150 million in contingency savings, and completed several tuck-in acquisitions. We expect to realize further benefits in 2010 from actions taken during 2009.”
Gasser added, “We are encouraged by our operating results for the fourth quarter of 2009, which were above the same period last year and significantly higher sequentially. Volumes continued to gradually improve and further cost-savings were realized. We completed two acquisitions during the quarter, bringing the total to six for the year, and we continue to pursue our pipeline of consolidation and product line extension opportunities in 2010.”

Consolidated Results
Fiscal 2009
Net sales decreased 26 percent for fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008 due to lower sales volumes (16 percent), foreign currency translation (6 percent) and lower selling prices (4 percent). The 20 percent constant-currency decrease was primarily due to lower sales volumes resulting from the sharp decline in the global economy and lower selling prices primarily resulting from the pass-through of lower raw material costs. The net sales decrease of $1.0 billion to $2.8 billion in fiscal 2009 from $3.8 billion in fiscal 2008 was due to lower net sales in the Industrial Packaging ($0.8 billion) and Paper Packaging ($0.2 billion) segments.

 

 


 

Operating profit before special items was $313 million for fiscal 2009 compared to $413 million for fiscal 2008. The lower operating profit before special items for the Industrial Packaging ($83 million) and Paper Packaging ($19 million) segments, as compared to fiscal 2008, was due to lower net sales and lower net gains on asset disposals, significantly offset by cost reductions achieved under the previously announced accelerated Greif Business System (GBS) initiatives and specific contingency actions. The Land Management (formerly Timber) segment’s operating profit before special items improved by $2 million. The Company’s GAAP operating profit was $235 million and $370 million in fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Net income before special items was $194 million for fiscal 2009 compared to $267 million for fiscal 2008. Diluted earnings per share before special items were $3.32 compared to $4.54 per Class A share and $5.00 compared to $6.89 per Class B share for fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company had GAAP net income of $132 million, or $2.28 per diluted Class A share and $3.42 per diluted Class B share, in fiscal 2009 compared to GAAP net income of $234 million, or $3.99 per diluted Class A share and $6.04 per diluted Class B share, in fiscal 2008.
Fourth Quarter of 2009
Net sales decreased 23 percent for the fourth quarter of 2009 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2008 due to lower selling prices (12 percent), lower sales volumes (10 percent) and foreign currency translation (1 percent). Net sales were $761 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to $982 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. The $221 million decrease was attributable to lower net sales in Industrial Packaging ($177 million) and Paper Packaging ($51 million), partially offset by higher net sales in Land Management ($7 million). Net sales volumes were up 6 percent sequentially in the fourth quarter 2009 as compared to the third quarter of 2009.
Operating profit before special items increased 13 percent to $127 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to $112 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. The $15 million increase was attributable to higher operating profit before special items in Industrial Packaging ($19.4 million) and Land Management ($10.3 million), partially offset by lower operating profit before special items in Paper Packaging ($14.7 million). GAAP operating profit was $118 million and $93 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Net income before special items increased 20 percent to $90 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to $75 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. Diluted earnings per share before special items were $1.53 compared to $1.27 per Class A share and $2.32 compared to $1.93 per Class B share for the fourth quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company had GAAP net income of $79 million, or $1.35 per diluted Class A share and $2.05 per diluted Class B share, in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to GAAP net income of $60 million, or $1.03 per diluted Class A share and $1.56 per diluted Class B share, in the fourth quarter of 2008.
Business Group Results
Industrial Packaging net sales decreased 26 percent to $2.3 billion in fiscal 2009 from $3.1 billion in fiscal 2008 due to lower sales volumes (16 percent), foreign currency translation (7 percent) and lower selling prices (3 percent). Operating profit before special items was $232 million in fiscal 2009 compared to $315 million in fiscal 2008. The $83 million decrease was primarily due to lower net sales and lower net gains on asset disposals. These reductions were partially offset by lower raw material costs and related last-in, first-out (LIFO) benefits. In addition, labor, transportation and energy costs were lower in fiscal 2009 as compared to fiscal 2008. The gross profit margin for this segment was 18.8 percent in fiscal 2009 and 18.6 percent in fiscal 2008. The Industrial Packaging segment’s cost of products sold and selling, general and administrative expenses continue to benefit from GBS and specific contingency initiatives. GAAP operating profit was $155 million and $281 million in fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively.

 

 


 

For the fourth quarter of 2009, the Industrial Packaging segment net sales decreased 21 percent to $616 million from $793 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. This decrease was due to lower selling prices (11 percent), lower sales volumes (8 percent) and foreign currency translation (2 percent). Operating profit before special items was $99 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to $80 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. The $19 million increase was primarily due to lower raw material costs and related LIFO benefits and higher net gains on asset disposals. GAAP operating profit was $88 million and $67 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Paper Packaging net sales decreased 28 percent to $505 million in fiscal 2009 from $697 million in fiscal 2008. This $192 million decrease was primarily due to lower sales volumes (20 percent) and lower selling prices (8 percent) in fiscal 2009 as compared to fiscal 2008. Operating profit before special items was $59 million in fiscal 2009 compared to $78 million in fiscal 2008. The $19 million decrease was due to lower net sales, partially offset by lower raw material costs, especially for old corrugated containers, and related LIFO benefits. In addition, labor, transportation and energy costs were lower in fiscal 2009 as compared to fiscal 2008. The gross profit margin for this segment was 19.5 percent in fiscal 2009 and 17.1 percent in fiscal 2008. The Paper Packaging segment’s cost of products sold and selling, general and administrative expenses continue to benefit from GBS and specific contingency initiatives. GAAP operating profit was $58 million and $68 million in fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively.
For the fourth quarter of 2009, the Paper Packaging segment net sales decreased 27 percent to $136 million from $187 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. This decrease was due to lower sales volumes (16 percent) and lower selling prices (11 percent). Operating profit before special items was $15 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to $30 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, primarily due to the lower net sales. GAAP operating profit was $18 million and $24 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Net sales for the Land Management segment were $21 million and $19 million in fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. Operating profit before special items was $22 million in fiscal 2009 compared to $21 million in fiscal 2008. Included in these amounts were operating profits from the sale of special use properties (e.g., surplus, higher and better use, and development properties) of $15 million in fiscal 2009 and $17 million in fiscal 2008. GAAP operating profit was $22 million and $21 million in fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively.
For the fourth quarter of 2009, net sales for the Land Management segment increased to $8.4 million from $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. Operating profit before special items was $12.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to $2.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. GAAP operating profit was $12.3 million and $2.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Financing Arrangements
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
In the second quarter of 2009, the Company closed on its $700 million senior secured credit facilities. The new facilities replaced an existing $450 million revolving credit facility that was scheduled to mature in March 2010. The new credit agreement provides for a $500 million revolving credit facility and a $200 million term loan, which both mature in February 2012.
Senior Notes
In the third quarter of 2009, the Company issued $250 million aggregate principal amount of its 7 3/4 percent Senior Notes due 2019. The net proceeds from the issuance of these Senior Notes are available for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of amounts outstanding under its revolving credit facility, without any permanent reduction to the commitments.

 

 


 

Other Financial Information
During fiscal 2009, the Company completed six acquisitions, including five Industrial Packaging companies and one Paper Packaging company, for a total purchase price of $91 million. During fiscal 2008, there were five acquisitions with a total purchase price of $90 million. In addition, there were net gains from asset disposals of $34 million and $60 million in fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Capital expenditures were $125 million, excluding timberland purchases of $1 million, for fiscal 2009 compared with capital expenditures of $143 million, excluding timberland purchases of $3 million, for fiscal 2008. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $103 million and $106 million for fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively.
On Dec. 8, 2009, the Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.38 per share of Class A Common Stock and $0.56 per share of Class B Common Stock. These dividends are payable on Jan. 1, 2010 to stockholders of record at close of business on Dec. 21, 2009.
Greif Business System (GBS) and Accelerated Initiatives
In December 2008, the Company announced specific plans to address the adverse impact to its businesses resulting from the sharp decline of the global economy, which began in the Company’s fourth quarter of 2008. Management aggressively implemented plans that included the following initiatives:
    Incremental GBS initiatives, including operational and commercial improvements and global sourcing initiatives, produced savings of approximately $50 million during fiscal 2009.
    Accelerated GBS and contingency initiatives, including active portfolio management, administrative staffing reductions and curtailed discretionary spending, captured more than $150 million in annual savings in fiscal 2009. The permanent benefits ($120 million) from these initiatives are expected to be fully realized in fiscal 2010.
As a result of these initiatives, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $67 million during fiscal 2009. The restructuring and other cost reduction activities included the closure of 19 facilities and the elimination of more than 2,100 operating and administrative positions in fiscal 2009.
Company Outlook
For fiscal 2010, the Company’s management is cautiously optimistic due to its expectation of continued gradual improvement in sales volumes and the full realization of fiscal 2009 permanent cost reductions. As such, the Company expects that Class A earnings per share, before special items, will be in the range of $4.00 to $4.25 per share for fiscal 2010.
