SILGAN ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS AND

CONFIRMS FULL YEAR 2012 ESTIMATE

STAMFORD, CT, July 25, 2012 — Silgan Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq:SLGN), a leading supplier of rigid consumer goods packaging products, today reported second quarter 2012 net income of $10.6 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, as compared to second quarter 2011 net income of $51.2 million, or $0.73 per diluted share. Adjusted net income per diluted share was $0.55 for the second quarter of 2012 as compared to $0.53 for the second quarter of 2011, after adjustments increasing net income per diluted share by $0.40 for the second quarter of 2012 and adjustments decreasing net income per diluted share by $0.20 for the second quarter of 2011. 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.

“Second quarter 2012 was a bit more challenging than expected as we delivered adjusted net income per diluted share of $0.55,” said Tony Allott, President and CEO. “While we do expect some volume shift between quarters, we were disappointed with our metal food container volumes thus far as the vegetable pack got off to a slow start and we saw a less favorable mix of products sold versus the prior year period due in large part to the timing of shipments. In addition, weaker demand patterns in Europe negatively impacted volumes and pricing in both our metal containers and closures operations. However, our businesses are reacting well to these challenges, and our plastic container business continues to show signs of improvement in its

operating performance,” continued Mr. Allott. “Based on our year-to-date performance and despite caution for the second half of the year, at this time we 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 second quarter of 2012 were $821.6 million, a decrease of $0.6 million as compared to $822.2 million in 2011. This decrease was the result of lower net sales over the prior year period in the metal container and closures businesses due primarily to the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation, partially offset by higher net sales in the plastic container business.

Income from operations for the second quarter of 2012 was $68.6 million as compared to $94.5 million for the second quarter of 2011, and operating margin decreased to 8.3 percent from 11.5 percent over the same periods. The decrease in income from operations was primarily attributable to income of $27.0 million included in the second quarter of 2011 in corporate selling, general and administrative expenses for proceeds received as a result of the termination of the Graham Packaging merger agreement, net of costs attributable to certain corporate development activities, and a decrease in income from operations in the metal container business, partially offset by an increase in income from operations in the plastic container and closures businesses.

Interest and other debt expense before loss on early extinguishment of debt for the second quarter of 2012 was $16.0 million, a decrease of $0.5 million as compared to 2011. This decrease was primarily due to lower average interest rates, partially offset by higher average outstanding borrowings as a result of the issuance in March 2012 of $500 million of 5% Senior Notes due 2020 and the refinancing of the senior secured credit facility in July 2011. On April 9, 2012, the Company redeemed all $250 million of its outstanding 7 1/4% Senior Notes due 2016 at a redemption price of 112.37 percent of their principal amount, or $280.9 million, using proceeds from the 5% Senior Notes. As a result, the Company recorded a charge of $0.37 per diluted share net of tax, for the early extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of 2012.

The effective tax rate was 23.9 percent and 34.4 percent for the second quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively. The second quarter of 2012 included the cumulative adjustment of reductions in the enacted tax rates in certain foreign countries, which had a significant favorable impact on the effective tax rate due to the scale of income before income taxes in the quarter as a result of the sizeable charge for the loss on early extinguishment of debt.

Metal Containers

Net sales of the metal container business were $479.7 million for the second quarter of 2012, a decrease of $2.6 million, or 0.5 percent, as compared to $482.3 million in 2011. This decrease was primarily due to the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $7.5 million and a less favorable mix of products sold, partially offset by higher average selling prices as a result of the pass through of higher raw material costs. Unit volumes increased slightly in the second quarter of 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011 primarily as a result of the Nestlé Purina PetCare steel can operations acquired in September 2011, mostly offset by volume declines due to a slow start to the vegetable pack and softness in the European markets, particularly in general line cans.

Income from operations of the metal container business decreased $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2012 to $40.1 million as compared to $42.9 million in 2011, and operating margin decreased to 8.4 percent from 8.9 percent over the same periods. The decrease in income from operations was primarily the result of a less favorable mix of products sold, increased price pressure and volume declines in European markets due to overall economic weakness and costs of $1.9 million associated with the start-up of three new production facilities in eastern Europe and one new facility in the Middle East, partially offset by charges in the second quarter of 2011 of $3.3 million related to the resolution of a past product liability dispute and $1.4 million related to rationalizations.

Closures

Net sales of the closures business were $183.1 million in the second quarter of 2012, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 0.8 percent, as compared to $184.5 million in 2011. This decrease was primarily the result of the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately

$9.3 million and lower net sales in Europe due to weak market conditions, partially offset by favorable unit volumes in the U.S. single-serve beverage market.

Income from operations of the closures business for the second quarter of 2012 increased $0.2 million to $22.9 million as compared to $22.7 million in 2011, and operating margin increased to 12.5 percent from 12.3 percent over the same periods. These increases were primarily attributable to higher unit volumes in the U.S. single-serve beverage market, continued improvement in manufacturing efficiencies and operating cost savings and a decrease in rationalization charges, largely offset by weaker volumes and increased price pressure in the European market due to macroeconomic issues.

Plastic Containers

Net sales of the plastic container business were $158.8 million in the second quarter of 2012, an increase of $3.4 million, or 2.2 percent, as compared to $155.4 million in 2011. This increase was principally a result of a favorable mix of products sold and an increase in unit volumes, both due primarily to strong seasonal sales in the agricultural and chemical markets and customers building inventory in advance of planned shut downs. This increase was partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation of approximately $1.6 million.

Income from operations of the plastic container business for the second quarter of 2012 was $9.1 million, an increase of $4.6 million as compared to $4.5 million in 2011, and operating margin increased to 5.7 percent from 2.9 percent over the same periods. These increases were primarily attributable to the favorable comparison of the year-over-year resin pass through lag effect which benefited the second quarter of 2012, a favorable mix of products sold, cost reduction initiatives and continued improvement in operating performance, an increase in unit volumes and lower rationalization charges.

Six Months

Net income for the first six months of 2012 was $43.3 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, as compared to net income for the first six months of 2011 of $77.3 million, or $1.10 per diluted share. Adjusted net income per diluted share for the first six months of 2012 was $1.06 versus $0.94 in the prior year period, after adjustments increasing net income per diluted share by $0.44

for the first six months of 2012 and adjustments decreasing net income per diluted share by $0.16 for the first six months of 2011.

Net sales for the first six months of 2012 increased $64.7 million, or 4.2 percent, to $1.59 billion as compared to $1.53 billion for the first six months of 2011. This increase was primarily due to the inclusion of net sales from the Vogel & Noot and Nestlé Purina PetCare steel can operations acquisitions, higher average selling prices in the metal container and plastic container businesses due to the pass through of higher raw material costs, higher unit volumes in the closures business principally for the single-serve beverage market in the U.S. and a favorable mix of products sold in the plastic container business. These increases were partially offset by the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $23.2 million, lower net sales in Europe due to weak economic conditions and a less favorable mix of products sold in the metal container business.

Income from operations for the first six months of 2012 was $134.4 million, a decrease of $13.7 million, or 9.3 percent, from the same period in 2011. This decrease was primarily a result of income of $25.2 million included in the first six months of 2011 in corporate selling, general and administrative expenses for proceeds received as a result of the termination of the Graham Packaging merger agreement, net of costs attributable to certain corporate development activities, volume declines and increased price pressure in Europe due to weak economic conditions, a less favorable mix of products sold in the metal container business and start-up costs for new metal container production facilities in eastern Europe and the Middle East. These decreases were partially offset by the favorable comparison of the year-over-year resin pass through lag effect, higher unit volumes in the closures business, a favorable mix of products sold in the plastic container business and improved manufacturing efficiencies and ongoing cost controls. In addition, rationalization charges were $3.7 million in the first six months of 2012 as compared to $4.1 million in the first six months of 2011, and results for 2011 included a $3.3 million charge related to the resolution of a past product liability dispute.

Interest and other debt expense before loss on early extinguishment of debt for the first six months of 2012 was $31.6 million, an increase of $1.2 million as compared to the first six months of 2011. This increase was primarily due to higher average outstanding borrowings,

largely attributable to the refinancing of the senior secured credit facility in July 2011 and the issuance in March 2012 of $500 million of 5% Senior Notes due 2020, partially offset by lower average interest rates.

The effective tax rate was 32.4 percent and 34.3 percent for the first six months of 2012 and 2011, respectively. The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2012 was favorably impacted by the cumulative adjustment of reductions in the enacted tax rates in certain foreign countries.

Acquisition

On July 10, 2012, the Company acquired Öntaş Öner Teneke Ambalaj Sanayii Ve Tikaret A.S., which operates under the name of Öntaş in Izmir, Turkey. Öntaş, with sales of approximately $30 million in 2011, is a leading supplier of food cans and vacuum closures in the Turkish market.

Capital Stock and Dividends

The Company repurchased an aggregate of 396,679 shares of its common stock at an average price per share of $43.03, for a total purchase price of $17.1 million, in the second quarter of 2012.

On June 15, 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 June 1, 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, but acknowledged increased risk around the midwest vegetable pack and operations in Europe due to weak economic conditions. This estimate compares to adjusted net income per diluted share of $2.63 for 2011.

The Company is providing an estimate of adjusted net income per diluted share for the third quarter of 2012 in the range of $1.15 to $1.25. This estimate assumes lower net sales in the plastic container business primarily due to the accelerated volumes in the second quarter of 2012

as a result of anticipated customer shutdowns. In addition, given the uncertainties around the vegetable pack, the results of the back half of the year could be more likely to shift between third and fourth quarters. This estimate compares to adjusted net income per diluted share of $1.14 in the third quarter of 2011.

(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, new plant start-up costs, 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. 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.
