SILGAN ANNOUNCES RECORD FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS
AND CONFIRMS FULL YEAR 2012 ESTIMATE
STAMFORD, CT, April 26, 2012 -- Silgan Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq:SLGN), a leading supplier of rigid packaging for consumer goods products, today reported first quarter 2012 net income of $32.8 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, as compared to first quarter 2011 net income of $26.1 million, or $0.37 per diluted share. Adjusted net income per diluted share was $0.50 for the first quarter of 2012 as compared to $0.41 for the first quarter of 2011, after adjustments increasing net income per diluted share by $0.03 and $0.04, respectively. A reconciliation of net income per diluted share to “adjusted net income per diluted share,” a Non-GAAP financial measure used by the Company, which adjusts net income per diluted share for certain items, can be found in Tables A and B at the back of this press release.
“We are off to another strong start in 2012, as we delivered adjusted net income per diluted share of $0.50, an increase of 22.0 percent over the prior year, took advantage of favorable credit markets and made incremental contributions to fully fund our Company sponsored pension plans,” said Tony Allott, President and CEO. “Each of our businesses performed well for the quarter, showing improvement versus the prior year. Our metal container and closures businesses were favorably impacted by an increase in unit volumes. Our plastic container business benefited from the favorable effect of the lagged pass through of resin costs and began to show improvement in its operating performance,” continued Mr. Allott. “Based on our first

quarter performance, we remain positive in our outlook for the year and as a result are confirming our full year 2012 earnings estimate of adjusted net income per diluted share in the range of $2.80 to $2.90,” concluded Mr. Allott.
Net sales for the first quarter of 2012 were $768.4 million, an increase of $65.3 million, or 9.3 percent, as compared to $703.1 million in 2011, as each business posted gains in net sales versus the prior year quarter.
Income from operations for the first quarter of 2012 was $65.8 million, an increase of $12.2 million, or 22.8 percent, as compared to $53.6 million for the first quarter of 2011, and operating margin increased to 8.6 percent from 7.6 percent for the same periods. The increase in income from operations was attributable to higher income from operations across all of our businesses and lower corporate expenses.
Interest and other debt expense for the first quarter of 2012 was $15.6 million, an increase of $1.7 million as compared to 2011. This increase was primarily due to higher average outstanding borrowings principally as a result of the incurrence of Euro borrowings to fund the acquisition of Vogel & Noot in March 2011, the refinancing of the senior secured credit facility in July 2011 and the recent issuance of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5% Senior Notes due 2020, partially offset by lower average interest rates. On April 9, 2012, the Company redeemed all $250 million of its outstanding 7¼% Senior Notes due 2016 at a redemption price of 112.37% of their principal amount, or $280.9 million, using proceeds from the 5% Senior Notes. As a result, the Company will record a charge, estimated at $0.37 per diluted share net of tax, for the early extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of 2012.
Metal Containers
Net sales of the metal containers business were $444.9 million for the first quarter of 2012, an increase of $54.4 million, or 13.9 percent, as compared to $390.5 million in 2011. This increase was primarily the result of the inclusion of net sales from the acquisitions of Vogel & Noot and the Nestlé Purina PetCare steel can operations and higher average selling prices as a result of the pass through of higher raw material costs, partially offset by the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation.

Page 3Income from operations of the metal containers business in the first quarter of 2012 increased $3.6 million to $42.0 million as compared to $38.4 million in 2011, while operating margin decreased to 9.4 percent from 9.8 percent over the same periods. The increase in income from operations was primarily the result of the impact from acquisitions and continued improvement in manufacturing efficiencies, partially offset by an increase in depreciation expense.
Closures
Net sales of the closures business were $163.0 million in the first quarter of 2012, an increase of $3.0 million, or 1.9 percent, as compared to $160.0 million in 2011. This increase was primarily the result of higher unit volumes principally in the U.S. and an increase in average selling prices due to the pass through of higher raw material costs, partially offset by the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation.
Income from operations of the closures business for the first quarter of 2012 increased $2.2 million to $18.0 million as compared to $15.8 million in 2011, and operating margin increased to 11.0 percent from 9.9 percent over the same periods. The increase in income from operations was primarily due to higher unit volumes, continued improvement in manufacturing efficiencies and operating cost savings, partially offset by an increase in rationalization charges. Rationalization charges were $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2012 primarily as a result of the recently announced headcount reductions in European manufacturing facilities and the corporate office in the U.S. Rationalization charges of $1.1 million were recognized in the first quarter of 2011.
Plastic Containers
Net sales of the plastic container business were $160.5 million in the first quarter of 2012, an increase of $7.9 million, or 5.2 percent, as compared to $152.6 million in 2011. This increase was primarily due to higher average selling prices as a result of the pass through of higher resin costs.
Income from operations of the plastic container business for the first quarter of 2012 was $8.9 million, an increase of $2.6 million as compared to $6.3 million in 2011, and operating margin increased to 5.5 percent from 4.1 percent over the same periods. The increase in income from
(more)
SILGAN HOLDINGS

Page 4operations was primarily attributable to the favorable comparison of the year-over-year resin pass through lag effect which benefited the first quarter of 2012, the benefits from cost reduction initiatives and slightly better operating performance. Rationalization charges were $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2012 primarily as a result of the recently announced shut down of the Breinigsville (Allentown), Pennsylvania manufacturing facility. Rationalization charges were $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2011.
Capital Stock and Dividends
The Company repurchased an aggregate of 114,199 shares of its common stock at an average price per share of $43.92, for a total purchase price of $5.0 million, in the first quarter of 2012.
On March 26, 2012, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.12 per share to holders of record of common stock of the Company on March 12, 2012. This dividend payment aggregated $8.5 million.
Outlook for 2012
The Company confirmed its estimate of adjusted net income per diluted share for the full year of 2012 in the range of $2.80 to $2.90. This estimate includes higher interest expense due to higher outstanding debt as a result of the issuance of the 5% Senior Notes largely offset by the benefit from the recent pension plan contributions, and excludes rationalization charges and the loss on early extinguishment of debt resulting from the redemption of the 7¼% Senior Notes in April 2012.
The Company is providing an estimate of adjusted net income per diluted share for the second quarter of 2012, which excludes rationalization charges and the loss on early extinguishment of debt, in the range of $0.55 to $0.60. This estimate compares to adjusted net income per diluted share of $0.53 in the second quarter of 2011.
The Company’s estimate of free cash flow, a Non-GAAP financial measure used by the Company which adjusts net cash provided by operations for capital expenditures and changes in outstanding checks, remains unchanged in the range of $200 million to $250 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, exclusive of voluntary pension contributions and the premium paid

Page 5on the early redemption of the 7¼% Senior Notes. In March and April 2012, the Company made aggregate voluntary cash contributions of $76.0 million to its domestic pension benefit plans which fully funded its December 31, 2011 pension benefit obligations and a portion of its future service costs associated with these plans. These contributions are expected to result in lower future funding requirements for the Company sponsored pension plans.

(1) The Company has presented adjusted net income per diluted share for the periods covered by this press release, which measure is a Non-GAAP financial measure. The Company’s management believes it is useful to exclude rationalization charges, proceeds from the termination of acquisition agreements, costs attributable to announced acquisitions, the loss on early extinguishment of debt and the impact from the resolution of a past product liability dispute from its net income per diluted share as calculated under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles because such Non-GAAP financial measure allows for a more appropriate evaluation of its operating results. While rationalization costs are incurred on a regular basis, management views these costs more as an investment to generate savings rather than period costs. Costs attributable to announced acquisitions consist of third party fees and expenses that are viewed by management as part of the acquisition and not indicative of the on-going cost structure of the Company. Such Non-GAAP financial measure is not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered in isolation but should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and the other information presented herein. Additionally, such Non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered a substitute for net income per diluted share as calculated under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
(2) Costs attributable to announced acquisitions have not been estimated for future periods.
