1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of the Business
     Pregis Corporation (“Pregis”) is an international manufacturer, marketer and supplier of protective packaging products and specialty packaging solutions. Pregis operates through two reportable segments — Protective Packaging and Specialty Packaging.
     Pregis Corporation is 100%-owned by Pregis Holding II Corporation (“Pregis Holding II” or the “Company”) which is 100%-owned by Pregis Holding I Corporation (“Pregis Holding I”). AEA Investors LP and its affiliates (the “Sponsors” or “AEA”) own approximately 98% of the issued and outstanding equity of Pregis Holding I, with the remainder held by management. AEA Investors LP is a New York-based private equity investment firm.
Basis of Presentation
     The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. Management believes these financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
     In February 2010 the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of IntelliPack (see Note 14). The results of operations of IntelliPack, Inc. (“IntelliPack”) are included in the consolidated results of the Company beginning February 20, 2010.
     These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
     Separate financial statements of Pregis Corporation are not presented since the floating rate senior secured notes due April 2013 and the 12.375% senior subordinated notes due October 2013 issued by Pregis Corporation are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured and senior subordinated basis, respectively, by Pregis Holding II and all existing domestic subsidiaries of Pregis Corporation and since Pregis Holding II has no operations or assets separate from its investment in Pregis Corporation (see Note 16).

     In March 2011, Pregis Holding II and Pregis and certain of their subsidiaries entered into a $75 million Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, as agent, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as lender and other lenders from time to time parties thereto (the “ABL credit facility”). The ABL credit facility provides for borrowings in dollars, euros and pounds sterling and consists of (1) a UK facility, under which certain UK subsidiaries of Pregis (the “UK Borrowers”) may from time to time borrow up to a maximum amount of the lesser of the UK borrowing base and $30 million and (2) a US facility, under which certain US subsidiaries of Pregis (the “US Borrowers” and, together with the UK Borrowers, the “Borrowers”) may from time to time borrow up to a maximum amount of the lesser of the US borrowing base and $75 million less amounts outstanding under the UK facility. The borrowing base is calculated on the basis of certain permitted over advance amounts, plus a percentage of certain eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory, subject to reserves established by the agent from time to time. The ABL credit facility provides for the issuance of letters of credit and a swingline subfacility. The ABL credit facility also provides for future uncommitted increases of its maximum amount, not to exceed $40 million.
     The ABL credit facility matures on the earlier of (a) March 22, 2016 and (b) January 15, 2013 or July 15, 2013, which is 90 days prior to the maturity of the existing senior secured notes and senior subordinated notes, respectively, unless these notes are (i) redeemed, discharged or defeased in full 90 days prior to maturity and (ii) refinanced with proceeds from permitted indebtedness as defined in the ABL agreement with a maturity date at least 90 days after March 22, 2016. Advances under the ABL credit facility bear interest, at the Borrowers’ option, equal to adjusted LIBOR plus an applicable margin for LIBOR loans or a base rate plus an applicable margin for base rate loans. The applicable margin for LIBOR loans ranges from 2.5% to 3%, depending on the average quarterly excess availability of the Borrowers. The applicable margin for base rate loans is 100 basis points lower than the applicable margin for LIBOR loans.
     All obligations under the ABL credit facility are guaranteed by Pregis Holding II and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (other than certain non wholly-owned and immaterial subsidiaries and certain foreign subsidiaries), with foreign guarantors guaranteeing only the obligations of the UK

Table of Contents

Borrowers. All obligations under the ABL credit facility and the guarantees of those obligations are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Pregis Holding II, the Borrowers and the guarantors, as well as the pledge of 100% of the capital stock of the Borrowers, the guarantors and their direct subsidiaries, with the obligations of the US Borrowers being secured only by (1) a first-priority security interest in substantially all assets of Pregis Holding II, the US Borrowers and the domestic guarantors, (2) a pledge of 100% of the capital stock of the US Borrowers, the domestic guarantors and their direct domestic subsidiaries and (3) a pledge of 65% of the voting capital stock and 100% of the non-voting capital stock of the first-tier foreign subsidiaries of the US Borrowers and domestic guarantors. The security interest in the domestic collateral ranks prior to the security interest securing the Company’s existing second priority floating rate notes due 2013. The lenders under the ABL credit facility have agreed to share their domestic collateral with future secured notes, if any, that refinance the existing notes, with the ABL credit facility retaining a first priority security interest in all accounts receivable, inventory and certain related assets of Pregis Holding II, the US Borrowers and the domestic guarantors and subordinating its security interest in all other domestic assets and the capital stock of the US Borrowers, domestic guarantors and their direct subsidiaries to the liens securing such new secured notes, if any.
     As of June 30, 2011, borrowings under the ABL credit facility totaled $47.8 million, outstanding letters of credit were $6.3 million, and remaining availability was $20.9 million. The Company utilized proceeds from the ABL credit facility to pay off and terminate its pre-existing $50 million revolving credit facility.
     Pregis’s senior secured notes were issued in the principal amount of €100.0 million and €125.0 million, respectively, and bear interest at a floating rate equal to EURIBOR (as defined) plus 5.00% per year (for a total rate of 6.327% as of June 30, 2011). Interest resets quarterly and is payable quarterly on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15. The senior secured notes mature on April 15, 2013. The senior subordinated notes were issued in the principal amount of $150.0 million and bear interest at the rate of 12.375% annually. Interest on the senior subordinated notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15. The senior subordinated notes mature on October 15, 2013. The senior subordinated notes were issued at a discount of 98.149% of their principal amount, resulting in an initial discount of $2.8 million, which is being amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the notes. The senior secured notes issued in 2009 were issued at a discount of 94% of their principal amount, resulting in an initial discount of $11.0 million (€7.5 million), which is being amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the notes. The senior secured notes and senior subordinated notes do not have required principal payments prior to maturity.
     Pregis Holding II and Pregis’s domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed the obligations under the senior secured notes and the senior subordinated notes on a senior secured basis and senior subordinated basis, respectively. Additionally, the senior secured notes are secured on a second priority basis by liens on all of the domestic collateral (subject to certain exceptions) securing Pregis’s ABL credit facility. In the event that secured creditors exercise remedies with respect to Pregis and its guarantors’ pledged assets, the proceeds of the liquidation of those assets will first be applied to repay obligations secured by the first priority liens under the ABL credit facility and any other first priority obligations.
     For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the revaluation of the Company’s euro-denominated senior secured notes resulted in an unrealized foreign exchange loss of $24.9 million which has been partially offset by unrealized gains of $26.7 million related to the revaluation of the Company’s euro-denominated intercompany notes receivable for the six months ended June 30, 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the revaluation of the Company’s euro-denominated senior secured notes resulted in an unrealized foreign exchange gain of $45.6 million which has been partially offset by unrealized losses of $47.8 million related to the revaluation of the Company’s euro-denominated intercompany notes receivable for the six months ended June 30, 2010. These amounts are included within foreign exchange (income) loss, net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

     The Company has borrowings available to its foreign subsidiaries under two local lines of credit. The first subsidiary line of credit allows for borrowings up to a certain percentage of such subsidiary’s specified accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2011, amounts outstanding under this foreign line of credit totaled $4.8 million. The second foreign line of credit allows for issuances of letters of credit only, which totaled $3.7 million as of June 30, 2011.
5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
     Under U.S. GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value and ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, (“ASC Topic 820”) details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.
     ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value, as follows:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
     In order to minimize its interest rate risk and to achieve a targeted ratio of variable-rate versus fixed-rate debt, the Company established an interest rate swap arrangement in the notional amount of €65 million from EURIBOR-based floating rates to a fixed rate over the period of October 1, 2008 to April 15, 2011. This swap arrangement was designated as a cash flow hedge and changes in the fair value of this instrument were expected to be highly effective in offsetting the fluctuations in the floating interest rate and are, therefore, being recorded in other comprehensive income until the underlying transaction is recorded. This swap arrangement was settled in March 2011.
     The accounting for the cash flow impact of the swap was recorded as an adjustment to interest expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the swap resulted in an increase to interest expense of $1,654, which included additional expense of $838 related to the termination of the swap. There was no additional interest expense in the second quarter due to the settlement of the swap in March 2011. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the swap resulted in an increase to interest expense of $885 and $1,812, respectively.
     At June 30, 2011, the Company’s contingent purchase consideration relating to the IntelliPack acquisition in 2010 is recorded at fair value and is categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of this liability is estimated using a present value analysis as of June 30, 2011 and was $9.1 million. This analysis considers, among other items, the financial forecasts of future operating results of the acquiree, the probability of reaching the forecast, and the associated discount rate. A rollforward of this liability from the acquisition date to the balance sheet date is as follows:

     The carrying values of other financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities approximate fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. At June 30, 2011, the fair values of the Company’s senior secured notes (issued in 2005), senior secured notes (issued in 2009), and senior subordinated notes were estimated to be $139,582, $174,477, and $145,500 respectively, based on quoted market prices. Under ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments”, entities are permitted to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect the fair value measurement option under this standard for any of its financial assets or liabilities.
6. PENSION PLANS
     The Company sponsors three defined benefit pension plans covering the majority of its employees located in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.
     The components of net periodic pension cost related to these plans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:
                                 
    Three Months Ended June 30,     Six Months Ended June 30,

     The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources to its segments based on segment EBITDA, which is calculated internally as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and restructuring expense and adjusted for other non-cash charges and benefits. Segment EBITDA is a measure of segment profit or loss which is reported to the Company’s chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the Company’s segments and evaluating segment performance. In addition, segment EBITDA is included herein in conformity with ASC Topic 280, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” Management believes that segment EBITDA provides useful information for analyzing and evaluating the underlying operating results of each segment. However, segment EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) before income taxes or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Additionally, the Company’s computation of segment EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies.
     The following table presents EBITDA by reportable segment and reconciles the total segment EBITDA to loss before income taxes:

     Corporate expenses include the costs of corporate support functions, such as information technology, finance, human resources, legal and executive management which have not been allocated to the segments. Additionally, corporate expenses may include other non-recurring or non-operational activity that the chief operating decision maker excludes in assessing business unit performance. These expenses, along with depreciation and amortization, other operating income/expense and other non-operating activity such as interest expense/income, restructuring, and foreign exchange gains/losses, are not considered in the measure of the segments’ operating performance, but are shown herein as reconciling items to the Company’s consolidated loss before income taxes.

The change in fair value of the swap through the date of settlement was recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and the amount remaining in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the date of settlement was recorded as interest expense.
13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal matters
     The Company is party to legal proceedings arising from its operations. Related reserves are recorded when it is probable that liabilities exist and where reasonable estimates of such liabilities can be made. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of any of these proceedings, the Company’s management, based on its assessment of the facts and circumstances now known, does not believe that any of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position. The Company does not believe that, with respect to any pending legal matters, it is reasonably possible that a loss exceeding amounts already recognized may be material. However, actual outcomes may be different than expected and could have a material effect on the company’s results of operations or cash flows in a particular period.
Environmental matters
     The Company is subject to a variety of environmental and pollution-control laws and regulations in all jurisdictions in which it operates. Where it is probable that related liabilities exist and where reasonable estimates of such liabilities can be made, associated reserves are established. Estimated liabilities are subject to change as additional information becomes available regarding the magnitude of possible clean-up costs, the expense and effectiveness of alternative clean-up methods, and other possible liabilities associated with such situations. The Company does not believe that, with respect to any pending environmental matters, that a loss is reasonably possible. However, actual outcomes may be different than expected and could have a material effect on the company’s results of operations or cash flows in a particular period.

Financing commitments
     As of June 30, 2011, the Company also had $6,330 of outstanding letters of credit under the ABL credit facility. In addition, the Company also had outstanding guarantees and letters of credit issued under other financing lines with local banks totaling $3,650.
14. ACQUISITIONS
     In February 2010, Pregis acquired all of the outstanding stock of IntelliPack, Inc. through one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, Pregis Management Corporation (the “IntelliPack Acquisition”). Following the acquisition, Pregis Management Corporation was subsequently renamed Pregis IntelliPack Corporation (“IntelliPack”). The initial purchase price of $31.5 million, including certain escrowed amounts totaling $3.5 million, was funded with cash-on-hand. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, additional consideration up to a maximum of $11.5 million may be payable by Pregis if certain future performance targets are achieved by IntelliPack. Based on a present value analysis, the fair value of contingent purchase consideration was valued at approximately $9.7 million on the acquisition date. The Company has paid $0.7 million as of June 30, 2011 and $0.8 million during 2010 related to this contingency. The remaining contingent purchase consideration was revalued at approximately $9.1 million as of June 30, 2011. The classification of the additional consideration payable as current and long-term was based on the estimated timing of future payments and the amounts are included in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.
15. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
     In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), (“ASU 2011-04”), in order to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. This guidance will take effect for the Company beginning on January 1, 2012. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to significantly impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
     In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05 which provided new guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in stockholder’s equity and instead requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this ASU will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as it only requires a change in the format of the current presentation.
16. SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
     Pregis Holdings II (presented as Parent in the following schedules), through its 100%-owned subsidiary, Pregis Corporation (presented as Issuer in the following schedules), issued senior secured notes and senior subordinated notes in connection with its acquisition by AEA Investors LP and its affiliates. The senior notes are fully, unconditionally and jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior secured basis and the senior subordinated notes are fully, unconditionally and jointly and severally guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis, in each case, by Pregis Holdings II and substantially all existing and future 100%-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries of Pregis Corporation (collectively, the “Guarantors”). All other

16


Table of Contents

subsidiaries of Pregis Corporation, whether direct or indirect, do not guarantee the senior secured notes and senior subordinated notes (the “Non-Guarantors”). The Guarantors also unconditionally guarantee the Company’s borrowings under its ABL credit facility on a senior secured basis.
     Additionally, the senior secured notes are secured on a second priority basis by liens on all of the collateral (subject to certain exceptions) securing Pregis Corporation’s senior secured credit facilities. In the event that secured creditors exercise remedies with respect to Pregis and its guarantors’ pledged assets, the proceeds of the liquidation of those assets will first be applied to repay obligations secured by the first priority liens under the ABL credit facility and any other first priority obligations.
     The following condensed consolidating financial statements present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of (1) the Parent, (2) the Issuer, (3) the Guarantors, (4) the Non-Guarantors, and (5) eliminations to arrive at the information for Pregis Holding II on a consolidated basis. Separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the Guarantors are not presented because management does not believe such information is material to investors. Therefore, each of the Guarantors is combined in the presentation below.

OVERVIEW
     We are an international manufacturer, marketer and supplier of protective packaging products and specialty packaging solutions. We currently operate 46 facilities in 18 countries, with approximately 4,000 employees world-wide. We sell our products to a wide array of customers, including retailers, distributors, packer processors, hospitals, fabricators and directly to the end-users. Approximately 63% of our 2010 net sales were generated outside of the U.S., so we are sensitive to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily between the euro and pound sterling with the U.S. dollar.
     Our net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 increased 11.2% and 9.7%, respectively, over the comparable periods of 2010. The increase was driven primarily by the impact of selling price increases, favorable currency translation, increased volumes from the Company’s growth initiatives, and incremental sales associated with the acquisition of IntelliPack. Excluding the impact of favorable foreign currency translation and the net sales of the partial first quarter of IntelliPack, net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 increased 4.3% and 5.8%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010.
     Our gross margin (defined as net sales less cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization) as a percent of net sales was 21.3% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 21.3% and 22.0% for the same periods of 2010. The year-to-date decline in our 2011 gross margin percentage was driven primarily by increased key raw material costs partially offset by the impact of selling price increases. The majority of the products we sell are plastic-resin based, and therefore our operations are highly sensitive to fluctuations in the costs of plastic resins. In the first six months of 2011 as compared to the same period of 2010, average resin costs increased approximately 14% in North America and 22% in Europe, as measured by the Chemical Market Associates, Inc. (“CMAI”) index and ICIS index, their respective market indices.
     In March 2011, the Company successfully refinanced its existing $50 million revolving credit facility with a new $75 million ABL credit facility. This refinancing addressed the October 2011 maturity of our old revolving credit facility while providing additional borrowing capacity.

Segment Net Sales
     Volume in the Company’s protective packaging segment was flat for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and increased by 1.0% for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The year-over-year volume increase for the period was driven primarily by the Company’s growth initiatives in inflatable systems.
     Price/mix for the Company’s protective packaging segment increased net sales by 4.0% and 4.6% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010. Price/mix was favorable for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 due to selling price increases implemented for both our North American and European businesses, over the last twelve months in response to increased key raw material costs.
     Volume in the Company’s specialty packaging segment decreased by 0.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and increased 0.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same periods of 2010.
     Price/mix for the Company’s specialty packaging segment increased net sales by 5.5% and 5.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010. Price/mix was favorable year-to-date due primarily to selling price increases implemented in our flexible packaging business in response to increased key raw material costs.

Gross Margin
     Gross margin (defined as net sales less cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization), as a percent of net sales, was 21.3% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 21.3% and 22.0% for the same periods of 2010. The quarter-over-quarter results were flat compared to a 70 basis points decrease year-to-date. This year-to-date decrease was due to increased key raw material costs and was partially offset by the impact of selling price increases and increased volumes. The increase in key raw material costs resulted in a negative 111 basis point impact on gross margin as a percent of net sales.
     Average resin costs in North America for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 were 16% and 14% higher, respectively, than average resin costs for the same periods in 2010 while average resin costs in Europe were 16% and 22% higher, respectively, than average resin prices for the same periods of 2010, based on their respective market indices.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010. This increase was primarily driven by unfavorable foreign currency translation. Excluding the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 decreased by approximately $0.8 million.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010. This decrease was primarily driven by legal expenses and 2010 acquisition related fees not incurred in 2011, partially offset by 2011 unfavorable foreign currency translation, severance expense, and incremental IntelliPack expenses for the full first quarter of 2011 compared to a partial first quarter in 2010. The 2010 legal expenses were the result of a patent dispute related to the Company’s protective packaging segment. In March 2010, there was an initial ruling which was favorable to the Company. As of June 30, 2011 there is a pending appeal regarding this legal matter which the Company also believes will have a favorable outcome to the Company. Excluding the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation, legal expenses, and acquisition related costs, selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were flat compared to the same period in 2010.
Other Operating Expense, net
     For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, other operating expense, net totaled $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, compared to $0.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively, in the same periods of 2010. We recorded restructuring charges of $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Restructuring charges were primarily related to consulting expenses. See Note 8 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for details regarding our restructuring activity.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
     Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $1.0 million and $2.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2010, primarily due to the IntelliPack expenses for the full first quarter of 2011 compared to a partial first quarter in 2010 and the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation.

Segment Income
     We measure our segments’ operating performance on the basis of segment EBITDA, defined as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and restructuring expense and adjusted for other non-cash charges and benefits. See Note 11 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of total segment EBITDA to consolidated net loss before income taxes. Segment EBITDA for the relevant periods is as follows:

Total segment EBITDA
  $ 45,607     $ 40,840     $ 4,767       11.7 %
 
                       
     Segment EBITDA for the Protective Packaging segment increased $3.9 million and $5.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same periods of 2010. These increases were primarily due to the impact from selling price increases, increased volumes, and the impact of the IntelliPack acquisition partially offset by increased key raw material costs.
     Segment EBITDA for specialty packaging decreased by $0.1 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same periods of 2010. These decreases were due to higher key raw material costs which were only partially offset by the impact of selling price increases.
Interest Expense
     Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 increased $0.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2010. The year-to-date increase was primarily driven by unfavorable foreign currency translation and increased interest expense on the Company’s euro denominated debt.
Foreign Exchange Loss (Gain), net
     A portion of our third-party debt is denominated in euro and revalued to U.S. dollars at month-end. We also maintain an intercompany debt structure, whereby Pregis Corporation has provided euro-denominated loans to certain of its foreign subsidiaries and these and other foreign subsidiaries have provided euro-denominated loans to certain U.K. based subsidiaries. At each month-end we recognize unrealized gains and losses on the revaluation of these instruments, resulting from the fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and euro exchange rate, as well as the pound sterling and euro exchange rate.

Income Tax Expense
     Our effective income tax rate was approximately (9.61)% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to approximately (25.42)% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company’s effective rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the establishment of additional valuation allowances against losses in certain jurisdictions that are not expected to result in future tax benefits.
Net Loss
     For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we had a net loss of $4.9 million and $12.6 million, respectively, compared to a net loss of $3.6 million and $15.8 million in the comparable periods of 2010. As discussed herein, the 2011 net loss is mainly the result of increased key raw material costs partially offset by increases in selling prices and increased sales volumes.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     The following table shows our sources and uses of funds for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010:

Decrease in cash and cash equivalents
  $ (27,052 )   $ (48,652 )
 
           
     Operating Activities. Cash used in operating activities increased by $5.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010. This increase was driven primarily by increased working capital investment due to the increased year-over-year sales volumes, unfavorable foreign currency translation, and increased key raw material costs.
     Cash from operating activities is sensitive to raw material costs and the Company’s ability to recover increases in these costs from its customers. Although price increases have typically lagged the underlying change in raw material costs, the Company has historically been able to recover significant increases in underlying raw material costs from its customers over a twelve to twenty-four month period. Future cash from operations is dependent upon the Company’s continued ability to recover increases in underlying raw material increases from its customers.
     The Company has not experienced any significant changes in year-over-year days sales outstanding, days inventory on-hand or days payable outstanding. The Company has not identified any trends in key working capital investments that would have a material impact on its liquidity or ability to satisfy its debt obligations or fund capital expenditures. Significant increases in resin pricing could negatively affect our cash generated from operating activities in future periods.

     Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities totaled $19.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $29.8 million compared to the same period of 2010. This decrease was primarily the result of the 2010 acquisition of IntelliPack and was partially offset by increased capital expenditures. In February 2010, Pregis acquired all of the stock of IntelliPack for an initial purchase price of $31.5 million and certain escrowed amounts totaling $3.5 million, which was funded with cash-on-hand. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, additional consideration up to a maximum amount of $11.5 million may be payable by Pregis if certain future performance targets are achieved by IntelliPack. As of June 30, 2011 the Company has paid $0.7 million related to this contingency. Capital expenditures totaled $19.0 million in the 2011 period compared to $14.3 million in the 2010 period, driven by investments for capacity expansion in our specialty segment.
     Financing Activities. Cash provided by financing activities totaled $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $9.5 million for the same period in 2010. During 2011, proceeds from the ABL credit facility of $47.8 million were used for repayment of the senior secured credit facility of $43.0 million and $4.6 million in deferred financing fees associated with the ABL credit facility. The decrease between years was primarily related to an $8.2 million decrease in our foreign lines of credit draws.
     Our liquidity requirements are significant, primarily due to debt service requirements and capital investment in our businesses. We expect our 2011 capital expenditures to total approximately $30 to $35 million and our 2011 debt service costs to total approximately $40 million. At June 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $20.8 million. Our available cash and cash equivalents are held in bank deposits and money market funds. We actively monitor the third-party depository institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents to ensure safety of principal while achieving a satisfactory yield on those funds. To date, we have experienced no material loss or lack of access to our invested cash or cash equivalents; however, we can provide no assurances that access to our invested cash and cash equivalents will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets.
     Our primary source of liquidity will continue to be cash flows from operations, existing cash balances, and amounts available to the Company under the ABL credit facility and foreign lines of credit.
     ABL Credit Facility. On March 23, 2011, Pregis Holding II and Pregis and certain of their subsidiaries entered into a $75 million Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, as agent, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as lender and other lenders from time to time parties thereto (the “ABL credit facility”). The ABL credit facility provides for the borrowings in dollars, euros and pounds sterling and consists of (1) a UK facility, under which certain UK subsidiaries of Pregis (the “UK Borrowers”) may from time to time borrow up to a maximum amount of the lesser of the UK borrowing base and $30 million and (2) a US facility, under which certain US subsidiaries of Pregis (the “US Borrowers” and, together with the UK Borrowers, the “Borrowers”) may from time to time borrow up to a maximum amount of the lesser of the US borrowing base and $75 million less amounts outstanding under the UK facility. The borrowing base is calculated on the basis of certain permitted over advance amounts, plus a percentage of certain eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory, subject to reserves established by the agent from time to time. The ABL credit facility provides for the issuance of letters of credit and a swingline subfacility. The ABL credit facility also provides for future uncommitted increases of its maximum amount, not to exceed $40 million.
     The ABL credit facility matures on the earlier of (a) March 22, 2016 and (b) January 15, 2013 or July 15, 2013, which is 90 days prior to the maturity of the existing senior secured notes and senior subordinated notes, respectively, unless these notes are (i) redeemed, discharged or defeased in full 90 days prior to maturity and (ii) refinanced with proceeds from permitted indebtedness as defined in the ABL agreement with a maturity date at least 90 days after March 22, 2016. Advances under the ABL credit facility bear interest, at the Borrowers’ option, equal to adjusted LIBOR plus an applicable margin for LIBOR loans or a base rate plus an applicable margin base rate loans. The applicable margin for LIBOR loans ranges from 2.5% to 3%, depending on the average quarterly excess availability of the

30


Table of Contents

Borrowers. The applicable margin for the base rate loans is 100 basis points lower than the applicable margin for LIBOR loans.
     All obligations under the ABL credit facility are guaranteed by Pregis Holding II and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (other than certain non wholly-owned and immaterial subsidiaries and certain foreign subsidiaries), with foreign guarantors guaranteeing only the obligations of the UK Borrowers. All obligations under the ABL credit facility and the guarantees of those obligations are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Pregis Holding II, the Borrowers and the guarantors, as well as the pledge of 100% of the capital stock of the Borrowers, the guarantors and their direct subsidiaries, with the obligations of the US Borrowers being secured only by (1) a first-priority security interest in substantially all assets of the Pregis Holding II, the US Borrowers and the domestic guarantors, (2) a pledge of 100% of the capital stock of the US Borrowers, the domestic guarantors and their direct domestic subsidiaries and (3) a pledge of 65% of the voting capital stock and 100% of the non-voting capital stock of the first-tier foreign subsidiaries of the US Borrowers and domestic guarantors. The security interest in the domestic collateral ranks prior to the security interest securing the Company’s existing second priority floating rate notes due 2013. The lenders under the ABL credit facility have agreed to share their domestic collateral with future secured notes, if any, that refinance the existing notes, with the ABL credit facility retaining a first priority security interest in all accounts receivable, inventory and certain related assets of the Pregis Holding II, the US Borrowers and the domestic guarantors and subordinating its security interest in all other domestic assets and the capital stock of the US Borrowers, domestic guarantors and their direct subsidiaries to the liens securing such new secured notes, if any.
     The ABL credit facility contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default, and requires monthly compliance with a “springing” fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1 to 1.0 if the excess availability of Pregis and its subsidiaries falls below a certain level. The ABL credit facility is also subject to mandatory prepayments out of certain asset sale, insurance and condemnation proceeds, if the excess availability of Pregis and its subsidiaries falls below a certain level.
     As of June 30, 2011, borrowings under the ABL credit facility totaled $47.8 million, outstanding letters of credit were $6.3 million, and remaining availability was $20.9 million. The Company utilized proceeds from the ABL to pay off and terminate its pre-existing $50 million revolving credit facility.
     Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes. On October 13, 2005, Pregis issued €100.0 million aggregate principal amount of second priority senior secured floating rate notes due 2013 (the “senior secured notes”) and $150 million aggregate principal amount of 12⅜% senior subordinated notes due 2013 (the “senior subordinated notes”).
     The senior secured notes mature on April 15, 2013. Interest accrues at a floating rate equal to EURIBOR plus 5.00% per year and is payable quarterly on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year. The senior secured notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by Pregis Holding II, Pregis’s immediate parent, and each of Pregis’s current and future domestic subsidiaries. At its option, Pregis may redeem some or all of the senior secured notes at 100% of their principal amount. Upon the occurrence of a change of control, Pregis will be required to make an offer to repurchase each holder’s notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.
     The senior subordinated notes mature on October 15, 2013. Interest accrues at a rate of 12⅜% and is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The notes are senior subordinated obligations and rank junior in right of payment to all of Pregis’s senior indebtedness. The senior subordinated notes are guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by Pregis Holding II and each of Pregis’s current and future domestic subsidiaries. Pregis may redeem some or all of the notes at

31


Table of Contents

redemption prices equal to 103.094% of their principal amount (in the 12 months beginning October 15, 2010) and 100% of their principal amount (beginning October 15, 2011).
     On October 5, 2009 Pregis issued €125.0 million aggregate principal amount of additional second priority senior secured floating rate notes due 2013 (the “2009 senior secured notes”). The 2009 senior secured notes are treated as a single class under the indenture with the €100.0 million principal amount of 2005 second priority senior secured floating rate notes for purpose of voting and redemption. However, the 2009 senior secured notes do not have the same Common Code or ISIN numbers as the 2005 senior secured notes, are not fungible with the 2005 senior secured notes and will not trade together as a single class with the 2005 senior secured notes. The 2009 senior secured notes are treated as issued with more than de minimis original issue discount for United States federal income tax purposes, whereas the 2005 senior secured notes were not issued with original issue discount for such purposes. Together the 2005 senior secured notes and the 2009 senior secured notes are referred to herein as the senior secured notes.
     The indentures governing the senior secured notes and the senior subordinated notes contain covenants that limit or prohibit Pregis’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other equity distributions, make investments, create liens, incur obligations that restrict the ability of Pregis’s restricted subsidiaries to make dividends or other payments to Pregis, sell assets, engage in transactions with affiliates, create unrestricted subsidiaries, and merge or consolidate with other companies or sell substantially all of Pregis’s assets. The indentures also contain reporting covenants regarding delivery of annual and quarterly financial information. The indenture governing the senior secured notes limits Pregis’s ability to incur first priority secured debt to an amount which results in its secured debt leverage ratio being greater than 3:1, plus $50 million, and prohibits it from incurring additional second priority secured debt other than by issuing additional senior secured notes. The indenture governing the senior secured notes also limits Pregis’s ability to enter into sale and leaseback transactions. The indenture governing the senior subordinated notes prohibits Pregis from incurring debt that is senior to such notes and subordinate to any other debt.
     The senior secured notes and senior subordinated notes are not listed on any national securities exchange in the United States. The senior secured notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange, however there can be no assurance that the senior secured notes will remain listed.
     Collateral for the Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes. The senior secured floating rate notes are secured by a second priority lien, subject to permitted liens, on all of the following assets owned by Pregis or the guarantors, to the extent such assets secure Pregis’s senior secured credit facilities on a first priority basis (subject to exceptions):
  (1)   substantially all of Pregis’s and each guarantor’s existing and future property and assets, including, without limitation, real estate, receivables, contracts, inventory, cash and cash accounts, equipment, documents, instruments, intellectual property, chattel paper, investment property, supporting obligations and general intangibles, with minor exceptions; and
 
  (2)   all of the capital stock or other securities of Pregis’s and each guarantor’s existing or future direct or indirect domestic subsidiaries and 66% of the capital stock or other securities of Pregis’s and each guarantor’s existing or future direct foreign subsidiaries, but only to the extent that the inclusion of such capital stock or other securities will mean that the par value, book value as carried by us, or market value (whichever is greatest) of such capital stock or other securities of any subsidiary is not equal to or greater than 20% of the aggregate principal amount of the senior secured floating rate notes outstanding.
     As of December 31, 2010, the capital stock of the following subsidiaries of Pregis constituted collateral for the senior secured floating rate notes:

     As described above, under the collateral agreement, the capital stock pledged to the senior secured noteholders constitutes collateral only to the extent that the par value or market value or book value (whichever is greatest) of the capital stock does not exceed 20% of the aggregate principal amount of the senior secured notes. This threshold is €45,000,000, or, at the December 31, 2010 exchange rate of U.S. dollars to euro of 1.3370:1.00, approximately $60.2 million. As of December 31, 2010, the book value and the market value of the shares of capital stock of Pregis Innovative Packaging Inc. were approximately $50.3 million and $112.3 million, respectively; the book value and the market value of the shares of capital stock of Hexacomb Corporation were approximately $43.3 million and $37.2 million respectively; the book value of and the market value of the shares of capital stock of IntelliPack were approximately $38.3 million and $9.1 million respectively; and the book value and the market value of 66% of the shares of capital stock of Pregis (Luxembourg) Holding S.àr.l. were approximately $17.3 million and $ — million, respectively. Therefore, in accordance with the collateral agreement, the collateral pool for the senior secured floating rate notes includes approximately $60.2 million with respect to the shares of capital stock of Pregis Innovative Packaging Inc. Since the book value and market value of the shares of capital stock of our other domestic subsidiaries and Pregis (Luxemburg) Holdings S.ar.l are each less than the $60.2 million threshold, they are not effected by the 20% clause of the collateral agreement.
     For purposes of calculating book value for the year ended December 31, 2010 in the table above, certain historical equity relating to corporate expenses incurred by Pregis Management Corporation were allocated to each of the three entities, Pregis Innovative Packaging Inc., Hexacomb Corporation, and Pregis (Luxembourg) Holding S.àr.l, in order to better reflect their current book values for presentation herein on a fully-allocated basis.
     The market value of the capital stock of the guarantors and subsidiaries constituting collateral for the senior secured notes has been estimated by us on an annual basis, using a market approach. At the time of the Acquisition, the purchase price paid for these entities was determined based on a multiple of EBITDA, as was contractually agreed in the stock purchase agreement. Since that time, we have followed a similar methodology, using a multiple of EBITDA, based on that of recent transactions of comparable companies, to determine the enterprise value of these entities. To arrive at an estimate of the market value of the entities’ capital stock, we have subtracted from the enterprise value the existing debt, net of cash on hand, and have also made adjustments for the businesses’ relative portion of corporate expenses. We have determined that this methodology is a reasonable and appropriate means for determining the market value of the capital stock pledged as collateral. We intend to complete these estimates of value of the capital stock of these subsidiaries for so long necessary to determine our compliance with the collateral arrangement governing the notes.

Table of Contents

     The value of the collateral for the senior secured notes at any time will depend on market and other economic conditions, including the availability of suitable buyers for the collateral. As of December 31, 2010, the value of the collateral for the senior secured floating rate notes totaled approximately $617.7 million, estimated as the sum of (1) the book value of the total assets of Pregis and each guarantor, excluding intercompany activity (which amount totaled $459.2 million), and (2) the collateral value of the capital stock, as outlined above (which amount totaled $158.5 million). Any proceeds received upon the sale of collateral would be paid first to the lenders under our ABL credit facility, who have a first lien security interest in the collateral, before any payment could be made to holders of the senior secured notes. There is no assurance that any collateral value would remain for the holders of the senior secured notes after payment in full to the lenders under our ABL credit facility.
     Covenant Ratios Contained in the Senior Secured Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes. The indentures governing the senior secured notes and senior subordinated notes contain two material covenants which utilize financial ratios. Non-compliance with these covenants could result in an event of default under the indentures and, under certain circumstances, a requirement to immediately repay all amounts outstanding under the notes and could trigger a cross-default under Pregis’s ABL credit facility or other indebtedness we may incur in the future. First, Pregis is permitted to incur indebtedness under the indentures if the ratio of Consolidated Cash Flow to Fixed Charges on a pro forma basis (referred to in the indentures as the “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio”) is greater than 2:1 or, if the ratio is less, only if the indebtedness falls into specified debt baskets, including, for example, a credit agreement debt basket, an existing debt basket, a capital lease and purchase money debt basket, an intercompany debt basket, a permitted guarantee debt basket, a hedging debt basket, a receivables transaction debt basket and a general debt basket. In addition, under the senior secured floating rate notes indenture, Pregis is permitted to incur first priority secured debt only if the ratio of Secured Indebtedness to Consolidated Cash Flow on a pro forma basis (referred to in the senior secured floating rate notes indenture as the “Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio”) is equal to or less than 3:1, plus $50 million. Second, the restricted payment covenant provides that Pregis may declare certain dividends, or repurchase equity securities, in certain circumstances only if Pregis’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is greater than 2:1.
     As used in the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and the Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Cash Flow, commonly referred to as Adjusted EBITDA, is calculated by adding Consolidated Net Income, income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization and other non-cash expenses, amounts paid pursuant to the management agreement with AEA Investors LP, and the amount of any restructuring charge or reserve (including, without limitation, retention, severance, excess pension costs, contract termination costs and cost to consolidate facilities and relocate employees). In calculating the ratios, Consolidated Cash Flow is further adjusted by giving pro forma effect to acquisitions and dispositions that occurred in the prior four quarters, including certain cost savings and synergies expected to be obtained in the succeeding twelve months. In addition, the term Net Income is adjusted to exclude any gain or loss from the disposition of securities, and the term Consolidated Net Income is adjusted to exclude, among other things, the non-cash impact attributable to the application of the purchase method of accounting in accordance with GAAP, the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles, and other extraordinary, unusual or nonrecurring gains or losses. While the determination of appropriate adjustments is subject to interpretation and requires judgment, we believe the adjustments listed below are in accordance with the covenants discussed above.
     The following table sets forth the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Consolidated Cash Flow (“Adjusted EBITDA”), Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio, Fixed Charges and Secured Indebtedness as of and for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:

Secured Indebtedness
        $ 53,024     $ 51,279  
     The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is primarily affected by increases or decreases in the Company’s trailing twelve month Consolidated Cash Flow (Adjusted EBITDA) and increases or decreases in the Company’s interest expense (interest expense net of interest income, excluding amortization of deferred financing fees and discount). Interest expense as used in this ratio is primarily affected by changes in interest rates (LIBOR and EURIBOR) and currency translation related to converting euro based interest expense into US dollars. The favorable impact resulting from lower interest rates, for the comparable twelve month periods ending June 30, 2011 and 2010, has been more than offset by the decrease in the Company’s trailing twelve month Consolidated Cash Flow over the same period, resulting in a reduction in the actual ratio. As of June 30, 2011, the Company’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was less than 2:0. As a result the Company’s ability to borrow money was limited to its available debt baskets, including among others a $220 million credit facility basket (which has been used in part in order to incur debt under Pregis’s ABL credit facility), a $25 million general basket, and a $15 million capital lease basket.
     Adjusted EBITDA is calculated under the indentures governing our senior secured floating rate notes and senior subordinated notes for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 as follows:

(1)   Other non-cash charges (income) include (a) net unrealized foreign currency transaction losses and gains, arising principally from the revaluation of our euro-denominated third-party debt and intercompany notes receivable, (b) non-cash compensation expense arising from the grant of Pregis Holding I options, and (c) other non-cash charges that will not result in future cash settlement, such as losses on fixed asset disposals.
 
(2)   As provided by our indentures, we adjusted for gains or losses deemed to be unusual or nonrecurring, including (a) restructuring, severance and related expenses due to our various cost reduction restructuring initiatives, (b) adjustments for costs and expenses related to acquisition, disposition or equity offering activities and (c) other unusual and nonrecurring charges.
 
(3)   Our indentures also require us to make adjustments for fees, and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, paid under the management agreement with AEA Investors LP.
 
(4)   Our indentures also permit adjustments to net income on a pro forma basis which allow for the inclusion of earnings for acquired businesses as if the acquisition had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter measurement period. In the six months ended June 30, 2010, we have adjusted for approximately $2.3 million relating to pre-acquisition earnings relating to the acquisition of IntelliPack. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve these comparable earning in the future.
     Local lines of credit. From time to time, certain of our foreign businesses utilize various lines of credit in their operations. The first subsidiary line of credit allows for borrowing up to a certain percentage of such subsidiary’s specified accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2011 amounts outstanding under this foreign line of credit totaled $4.8 million. The second line of credit only allows for issuance of letters of credit ($3.7 million were outstanding at June 30, 2011) and had availability of $2.2 million as of June 30, 2011.
     Long-term Liquidity. We believe that cash flow generated from operations, existing cash balances, and our borrowing capacity will be adequate to meet our obligations and business requirements for the next twelve months. There can be no assurance, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, that anticipated net sales growth and operating improvements will be realized or that future borrowings will be available under Pregis’s senior secured credit facilities in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and other capital requirements, including capital expenditures, and to continue to comply with the covenants contained in our debt instruments, will depend upon our future performance which, in turn, will be subject to general economic, financial, business, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. Some other risks that could materially adversely affect our ability to meet our debt service obligations and comply with our debt covenants include, but are not limited to, risks related to increases in the cost of resin, our ability to protect our intellectual property, rising interest rates, a decline in the overall U.S. and European economies, weakening in our end markets, the loss of key personnel, our ability to continue to invest in equipment, and a decline in relations with our key distributors and dealers. In addition, any of the other items discussed in the “Risk Factors,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 may also significantly impact our liquidity and covenant compliance.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
     In accordance with ASC 350, the Company assesses the recoverability of goodwill and other indefinite lived intangibles assets annually as of October 1, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable.

36


Table of Contents

     The goodwill impairment test is performed at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (referred to as a “component”). A component is considered a reporting unit for purposes of goodwill testing if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. As such, we have tested for goodwill impairment at the component level within our Specialty Packaging reporting segment, represented by each of the businesses included within this segment. We also tested goodwill for impairment at each of the operating segments which have been aggregated to comprise our Protective Packaging reporting segment.
     We use a two-step process to test goodwill for impairment. First, the reporting unit’s fair value is compared to its carrying value. Fair value is estimated using primarily a combination of the income approach, based on the present value of expected future cash flows and the market approach. If a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an indication exists that the reporting unit’s goodwill may be impaired, and the second step of the impairment test would be performed. The second step of the goodwill impairment test is used to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. In the second step, the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is determined by allocating the reporting unit’s fair value to all of its assets and liabilities other than goodwill in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation. The implied fair value of the goodwill that results from the application of this second step is then compared to the carrying amount of the goodwill and an impairment charge would be recorded for the difference if the carrying value exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill.
     At interim periods, the Company assesses if potential indicators of impairment exist. Among the factors the Company considers as potential indicators of interim impairment are significant adverse changes in legal factors or business climate, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, unanticipated competition, loss of key personnel, or a more-likely-than-not expectation that a reporting unit or a significant portion of a reporting unit will be sold or otherwise disposed of, recent operating losses at the reporting unit level, downward revisions to forecasts, restructuring actions or plans, and industry trends. The Company did not identify any interim indicators of impairment as of June 30, 2011.
     Although the Company determined that there were no indicators of impairment as of June 30, 2011, it is possible that the future occurrence of potential indicators of impairment could require an interim assessment for some or all of the Company’s reporting units prior to its next required annual assessment. In such circumstances, the Company may be required to recognize non-cash impairment charges which could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. Such non-cash impairment charges would not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s ability to comply with its debt covenants, as such charges are specifically excluded from its covenant calculations.
     Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, which require management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. While our estimates and assumptions are based on our knowledge of current events and actions we may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates and assumptions. We have discussed those estimates that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Since the date of our 2010 Form 10-K, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or the methodologies or assumptions we apply under them.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
     Our exposure to market risk has not materially changed since December 31, 2010. For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, see our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
     The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (its principal executive officer) and the Chief Financial Officer (its principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2011. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, concluded that as of June 30, 2011 the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are effective. In addition, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
     We are party to various lawsuits, legal proceedings and administrative actions arising out of the normal course of our business. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of any of these lawsuits, proceedings and actions, management, based on its assessment of the facts and circumstances now known, does not believe that any of these lawsuits, proceedings and actions, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or that it is reasonably possible that a loss exceeding amount already recognized may be material. However, actual outcomes may be different than expected and could have a material effect on our results of operations or cash flows in a particular period.
