Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations Below, we define the non-GAAP financial measures, provide a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and discuss the reasons that we believe this information is useful to management and may be useful to investors. These measures may differ from similarly captioned measures of other companies in our industry. Non-GAAP Measures Our definitions of Credit Agreement EBITDA and Segment EBITDA may differ from other similarly titled measures at other companies. Credit Agreement EBITDA (as defined) and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined) are not defined in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as alternatives to GAAP measures of operating results or liquidity. RockTenn management believes that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Credit Agreement EBITDA (as defined) and Segment Income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Segment EBITDA. 24
 
 

 
 
Slide 25
 
Non-GAAP Measures: Credit Agreement EBITDA and Total Funded Debt (as defined) “Credit Agreement EBITDA is calculated in accordance with the definition of  “EBITDA contained in the Company’s Credit Agreement. Credit Agreement EBITDA is generally defined as Consolidated Net Income, on a pro forma basis giving effect to the Smurfit-Stone Acquisition, plus: consolidated interest expense; consolidated tax expenses; depreciation and amortization expenses; charges and expenses for financing fees and expenses and write-offs of deferred financing fees and expenses, remaining portions of OID on prepayment of indebtedness, premiums due in respect of prepayment of indebtedness, and commitment fees in respect of financing commitments; various charges and expenses related to, or incurred in connection with, the Smurfit-Stone acquisition; costs and expenses relating to the integration of Smurfit-Stone and the achievement of synergies relating to the Smurfit-Stone acquisition; certain run-rate synergies expected to be achieved due to the Smurfit-Stone acquisition; all non-cash charges; all cash charges and expenses for plant and other facility closures and other cash restructuring charges; labor disruption charges; officer payments associated with any permitted acquisitions; “black liquor expenses; cash charges and expenses incurred in respect of the Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding and plan of reorganization of Smurfit-Stone; and all non-recurring cash expenses taken in respect of any multi-employer and defined benefit pension plan obligations that are related to plant and other facilities closures. For additional information on the calculation see our Credit Agreement, dated as of May 27, 2011, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to our Form 8-K, dated May 27, 2011. “Total Funded Debt is calculated in accordance with the definition of “Total Funded Debt contained in the Company’s Credit Agreement. Total Funded Debt is generally defined as aggregate debt obligations reflected in our balance sheet, less the hedge adjustments resulting from terminated and existing fair value interest rate derivatives or swaps, plus additional outstanding letters of credit not already reflected in debt, plus debt guarantees. 25
 
 

 
 
Slide 26
 
Non-GAAP Measures: Credit Agreement EBITDA and Total Funded Debt Our management uses Credit Agreement EBITDA and Total Funded Debt to evaluate compliance with RockTenn’s debt covenants and borrowing capacity available under its Credit Agreement. Management also uses Credit Agreement EBITDA as a measure of our Company’s core operating performance. Management believes that investors also use these measures to evaluate the Company’s compliance with its debt covenants and available borrowing capacity. Management also believes that investors use Credit Agreement EBITDA as a measure of our Company’s core operating performance. Borrowing capacity is dependent upon, in addition to other measures, the “Total Funded Debt/EBITDA ratio or the “Leverage Ratio, which is defined as Total Funded Debt divided by Credit Agreement EBITDA. 26

Non-GAAP Measures: Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share We also use the non-GAAP measures “adjusted net income and “adjusted earnings per diluted share. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide our board of directors, investors, potential investors, securities analysts and others with useful information to evaluate the performance of the Company because it excludes restructuring and other costs, net, the alternative fuel mixture credit and cellulosic biofuel producer credit and other specific items that management believes are not indicative of the ongoing operating results of the business. The Company and the board of directors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance relative to other periods. 28

Accretion from the Smurfit-Stone Acquisition We also use the non-GAAP measure “Accretion from the Smurfit-Stone Acquisition. Management believes the non-GAAP financial measure provides our board of directors, investors, potential investors, securities analysts and others with useful information to evaluate the performance of the Company because it provides an estimate of the performance of the acquired operations of Smurfit-Stone as well as to estimate the earnings of RockTenn excluding the estimated accretion. The Company and the board of directors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance relative to other periods. The table below summarizes the Smurfit-Stone Estimated Accretion from the tables that follow: Smurfit-Stone Estimated Accretion – 3rd quarter of fiscal 2011 $ 0.33 Smurfit-Stone Estimated Accretion – 4th quarter of fiscal 2011 0.55 Smurfit-Stone Estimated Accretion – 1st quarter of fiscal 2012 0.15 Estimated Smurfit-Stone Accretion since Acquisition $ 1.03 34
