Greif Reports Second Quarter 2015 Results

DELAWARE, Ohio (June 9, 2015) – Greif, Inc. (NYSE: GEF, GEF.B), a world leader in industrial packaging products and services, today reported second quarter 2015 net income attributable to the corporation totaling $20.8 million or $0.35 per diluted Class A share on sales of $915.9 million compared with net income of $38.4 million or $0.65 per diluted Class A share on sales of $1,065.5 million in the second quarter of 2014. After adjusting for the effect of divestitures and currency translation, sales for the quarter were flat compared to the second quarter of 2014. Excluding the impact of special items¹, earnings were $0.53 per diluted Class A share compared to $0.58 per diluted Class A share for the second quarter of 2014.

David B. Fischer, president and chief executive officer, stated, “The second quarter adjusted earnings were in line with our expectations; however, the forecasted results for our North American businesses are expected to be below previous forecasts for the second half of 2015. Several positive trends emerged in our international operations during the second quarter, although foreign exchange rates continued to have a negative impact. We are addressing specific issues to improve the company’s overall performance, and we remain committed to our long-term plans.”

Mr. Fischer added, “During the second quarter we took significant steps to lower our structural costs which included SG&A headcount reduction plans plus plant closures, divestitures and network consolidation in our rigid industrial packaging business. These actions are part of our comprehensive transformation activities which are focused on creating significant value in our business. We have recently completed installation of a new corrugator in North Carolina and we are in the final stages of completing the modernization of our Riverville containerboard mill in Virginia and returning it to full production. These additions to the Paper Packaging network are expected to begin contributing incremental benefits later this year as they move beyond initial start-up operations. The combination of these growth investments with further implementation of transformation initiatives across the enterprise are expected to position us for solid improvement in fiscal 2016.”

Rigid Industrial Packaging & Services

Net sales decreased 15.0 percent to $666.6 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared with $784.3 million for the second quarter of 2014. Excluding the impact of divestitures², net sales decreased 12.5 percent to $645.7 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared with $737.6 million for the second quarter of 2014. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to the negative impact of foreign currency translation of 10.4 percent. Overall volumes were flat compared to the second quarter of 2014, with increases of 4.8 percent in Europe and decreases of 7.5 percent in Latin America and 2.2 percent in North America.

Operating profit was $25.8 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $51.2 million for the second quarter of 2014. The decrease was primarily attributable to the negative impact of foreign currency translation, higher restructuring and non-cash asset impairment charges, and a loss on the sale of a business in North America. Operating profit excluding special items and the impact of divestitures³ was $49.4 million for the second quarter of 2015 versus $51.5 million for the second quarter of 2014.

²	A summary of all adjustments related to the divestitures that are excluded from net sales, gross profit and operating profit is set forth in the Selected Financial Highlights table following the Company Outlook in this release

Paper Packaging

Net sales decreased 5.5 percent to $160.4 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared with $169.8 million for the second quarter of 2014. Excluding the impact of divestitures, net sales decreased 2.8 percent to $160.4 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared with $165.1 million for the second quarter of 2014. The decrease was attributable to lower prices for containerboard produced by the Company’s mills and slightly lower volumes in the corrugated sheet business.

Operating profit was $27.1 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared with $26.5 million for the second quarter of 2014. The increase was primarily due to lower freight, maintenance and utility costs, partially offset by the same factors impacting net sales, as described above.

Flexible Products & Services

Net sales decreased 22.1 percent to $82.0 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared with $105.3 million for the second quarter of 2014. Excluding the impact of divestitures, net sales decreased 9.3 percent to $82.0 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared with $90.4 million for the second quarter of 2014. The decrease was primarily attributable to the negative impact of foreign currency translation of 15.2 percent, partially offset by an increase in selling prices.

Operating loss was $5.3 million for the second quarter of 2015 versus operating loss of $10.3 million for the second quarter of 2014. Operating loss before special items and excluding the impact of divestitures was $5.7 million for the second quarter of 2015 versus $7.7 million for the second quarter of 2014. This decrease in operating loss was primarily due to lower personnel, security and alternative supply costs compared to the prior period, because the prior period included costs associated with the occupation of the Hadimkoy facility, partially offset by higher costs of the move to an in-house labor force, prompted primarily by changes in the local regulatory environment.

Land Management

Net sales increased 13.1 percent to $6.9 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared with $6.1 million for the second quarter of 2014. The increase was due to higher timber sales as planned for the second quarter of 2015.

Timberland gains were immaterial for the second quarter of 2015 compared with $8.7 million for the second quarter of 2014. Operating profit was $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared with $11.7 million for the second quarter of 2014. The decrease was due to the impact of timberland gains in the second quarter of 2014. Operating profit before special items was $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared with $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2014. This increase was due to the same factor impacting net sales.

Company Outlook

While positive demand and gross margin trends in international operations emerged during the second quarter and the impact of the company’s transformation actions have begun being realized, annual adjusted earnings are expected to be lower than forecasted at the beginning of the year. The principal factors contributing to this expected decline are based on recent results and near term expectations on lower volumes and gross margins for the company’s North American businesses, and the continuing impact of unfavorable foreign exchange rates. Based on these factors, fiscal 2015 adjusted Class A earnings per share are now expected to be in the range of $1.65 to $1.75, excluding gains and losses on the sales of businesses, timberland and property, plant and equipment, and acquisition related costs, as well as restructuring and impairment charges.

EBITDA is defined as net income, plus interest expense, net, plus income tax expense, less equity earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, net of tax, plus depreciation, depletion and amortization. However, because the company does not calculate net income by segment, this table calculates EBITDA by segment with reference to operating profit (loss) by segment, which, as demonstrated in the table of Consolidated EBITDA, is another method to achieve the same result. See the reconciliations in the table of Segment EBITDA.
