NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Information at June 30, 2016 and 2015 and for the

three and six months then ended is unaudited)

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Silgan Holdings Inc., or Silgan, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year.

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2015 has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

Certain prior year's amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation.

You should read the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements. In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued an accounting standards update, or ASU, that amends existing guidance for measuring inventories. This amendment requires us to measure inventories recorded using the first-in, first-out method and the average cost method at the lower of cost and net realizable value. This amendment did not change the methodology for measuring inventories recorded using the last-in, first-out method. As permitted, we have adopted this amendment early, effective January 1, 2016, and have applied it prospectively. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that amends the guidance for stock compensation accounting. This amendment (i) requires all income tax effects of stock-based compensation awards to be recognized in the statement of income when such awards vest or are settled, (ii) allows an employer to repurchase more of an employee's shares upon the vesting or settlement of an award than it could have previously for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting, (iii) allows an employer to make a policy election to recognize forfeitures in respect of awards as they occur and (iv) specifies certain classifications on the statement of cash flows related to excess tax benefits and shares repurchased from employees for tax withholding purposes. As permitted, we have adopted this amendment early, effective January 1, 2016, and have applied it (i) prospectively as it related to recognizing income tax effects of awards in the statement of income, (ii) using the modified retrospective method as it related to classifying certain awards as equity rather than liabilities and recognizing forfeitures as they occur, and (iii) using the retrospective method as it related to classifying excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU that amends the guidance for revenue recognition. This amendment contains principles that will require an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods and services to customers at an amount that an entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This amendment permits the use of one of two retrospective transition methods. This amendment will be effective for us on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted up to one year prior to the effective date. We have not yet selected a transition method and are currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that amends existing guidance for certain leases by lessees. This amendment will require us to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by long-term leases and to disclose additional quantitative and qualitative information about leasing arrangements. In addition, this amendment clarifies the presentation requirements of the effects of leases in the statement of income and statement of cash flows. This amendment will be effective for us on January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. This amendment is required to be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Note 6. Financial Instruments

The financial instruments recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, debt obligations and swap agreements. Due to their short-term maturity, the carrying amounts of trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable approximate their fair market values. The following table summarizes the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our other financial instruments at June 30, 2016:



	Carrying Amount		Fair Value
	(Dollars in thousands)
Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	120,467	$	120,467

Liabilities:
Bank debt	$	1,146,012	$	1,146,012
5½% Senior Notes	300,000		310,875
5% Senior Notes	500,000		513,725
Interest rate swap agreements	858		858

Fair Value Measurements

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). GAAP classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into a hierarchy consisting of three levels. Level 1 inputs represent unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs represent unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs represent unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

The financial assets and liabilities that were measured on a recurring basis at June 30, 2016 consisted of our cash and cash equivalents, interest rate swap agreements and natural gas swap agreements. We measured the fair value of cash and cash equivalents using Level 1 inputs. We measured the fair value of the swap agreements using the income approach. The fair value of the swap agreements reflects the estimated amounts that we would pay or receive based on the present value of the expected cash flows derived from market interest rates and prices. As such, these derivative instruments were classified within Level 2.

Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value

Our bank debt, 5½% Senior Notes due 2022, or the 5½% Notes, and 5% Senior Notes due 2020, or the 5% Notes, were recorded at historical amounts in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, as we have not elected to measure them at fair value. We measured the fair value of our variable rate bank debt using the market approach based on Level 2 inputs. Fair values of the 5½% Notes and the 5% Notes were estimated based on quoted market prices, a Level 1 input.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Our derivative financial instruments were recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair values. Changes in fair values of derivatives are recorded in each period in earnings or comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction.

We utilize certain derivative financial instruments to manage a portion of our interest rate and natural gas cost exposures. We limit our use of derivative financial instruments to interest rate and natural gas swap agreements. We do not engage in trading or other speculative uses of these financial instruments. For a financial instrument to qualify as a hedge, we must be exposed to interest rate or price risk, and the financial instrument must reduce the exposure and be designated as a hedge. Financial instruments qualifying for hedge accounting must maintain a high correlation between the hedging instrument and the item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the hedged period.

We utilize certain internal hedging strategies to minimize our foreign currency exchange rate risk. Net investment hedges that qualify for hedge accounting result in the recognition of foreign currency gains or losses, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive loss. We generally do not utilize external derivative financial instruments to manage our foreign currency exchange rate risk.

Our interest rate and natural gas swap agreements are accounted for as cash flow hedges. During the first six months of 2016, our hedges were fully effective. The fair value of our outstanding interest rate swap agreements in effect at June 30, 2016 was included in accrued liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The amounts reclassified to earnings from the change in fair value of derivatives component of accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 were losses, net of income taxes, of $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively. We estimate that we will reclassify losses of $0.5 million, net of income taxes, from the change in fair value of derivatives component of accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings during the next twelve months. The actual amount that will be reclassified to earnings will vary from this amount as a result of changes in market conditions.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

We have entered into U.S. dollar interest rate swap agreements to manage a portion of our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. At June 30, 2016, the aggregate notional principal amount of our outstanding interest rate swap agreements was $100.0 million. The difference between amounts to be paid or received on our interest rate swap agreements is recorded in interest and other debt expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, net payments under our interest rate swap agreements were $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively. These agreements are with financial institutions which are expected to fully perform under the terms thereof.

Natural Gas Swap Agreements

We have entered into natural gas swap agreements with a major financial institution to manage a portion of our exposure to fluctuations in natural gas prices. At June 30, 2016, the aggregate notional principal amount of our natural gas swap agreements was 649,000 MMBtu of natural gas with fixed prices ranging from $2.92 to $3.21 per MMBtu, which hedged approximately 21 percent of our estimated twelve month exposure to fluctuations in natural gas prices. The difference between amounts to be paid or received on our natural gas swap agreements is recorded in cost of goods sold in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, net payments under our natural gas swap agreements were $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively. These agreements are with a financial institution which is expected to fully perform under the terms thereof.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

In an effort to minimize foreign currency exchange rate risk, we have financed acquisitions of foreign operations primarily with loans borrowed under our senior secured credit facilities denominated in Euros and Canadian dollars. In addition, where available, we have borrowed funds in local currency or implemented certain internal hedging strategies to minimize our foreign currency exchange rate risk related to foreign operations. We have designated substantially all of our Euro denominated borrowings under the Credit Agreement as net investment hedges. Foreign currency gains (losses) related to our net investment hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 were $1.4 million and $(4.8) million, respectively.

Note 9. Income Taxes

Silgan and its subsidiaries file U.S. Federal income tax returns, as well as income tax returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. We have been accepted into the Compliance Assurance Program for the 2015 and 2016 tax years which provides for the review by the Internal Revenue Service of tax matters relating to our tax return prior to filing. We do not expect a material change to our unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

Note 10. Treasury Stock

On February 28, 2014, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase by us of up to an aggregate of $300.0 million of our common stock, inclusive of prior authorizations, from time to time through and including December 31, 2019. At June 30, 2016, we had approximately $106.0 million remaining under this authorization for the repurchase of our common stock.

During the first six months of 2016, we issued 127,370 treasury shares which had an average cost of $6.30 per share for restricted stock units that vested during the period. In accordance with the Silgan Holdings Inc. Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, we repurchased 42,738 shares of our common stock at an average cost of $51.57 to satisfy minimum employee withholding tax requirements resulting from the vesting of such restricted stock units.

We account for treasury shares using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost method. As of June 30, 2016, 27,078,911 shares of our common stock were held in treasury.

Note 11. Stock-Based Compensation

We currently have one stock-based compensation plan in effect, under which we have issued options and restricted stock units to our officers, other key employees and outside directors. During the first six months of 2016, 199,148 restricted stock units were granted to certain of our officers, other key employees and outside directors. The fair value of these restricted stock units at the grant date was $10.3 million, which is being amortized ratably over the respective vesting period from the grant date.

Sales and income from operations of our metal container business and part of our closures business are dependent, in part, upon fruit and vegetable harvests. The size and quality of these harvests varies from year to year, depending in large part upon the weather conditions in applicable regions. Because of the seasonality of the harvests, we have historically experienced higher unit sales volume in the third quarter of our fiscal year and generated a disproportionate amount of our annual income from operations during that quarter.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Statements included in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements are made based upon management’s expectations and beliefs concerning future events impacting us and therefore involve a number of uncertainties and risks, including, but not limited to, those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result, the actual results of our operations or our financial condition could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements.

General

We are a leading manufacturer of rigid packaging for shelf-stable food and other consumer goods products. We currently produce steel and aluminum containers for human and pet food and general line products; metal, composite and plastic closures for food and beverage products; and custom designed plastic containers and closures for personal care, food, health care, pharmaceutical, household and industrial chemical, pet care, agricultural, automotive and marine chemical products. We are a leading manufacturer of metal containers in North America and Europe, a leading worldwide manufacturer of metal, composite and plastic closures for food and beverage products and a leading manufacturer of plastic containers in North America for a variety of markets, including the personal care, food, health care, household and industrial chemical markets.

Our objective is to increase shareholder value by efficiently deploying capital and management resources to grow our business, reduce operating costs and build sustainable competitive positions, or franchises, and to complete acquisitions that generate attractive cash returns. We have grown our net sales and income from operations over the years, largely through acquisitions but also through internal growth, and we continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities in the consumer goods packaging market. If acquisition opportunities are not identified over a longer period of time, we may use our cash flow to repay debt, repurchase shares of our common stock or increase dividends to our stockholders or for other permitted purposes.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2015

Overview. Consolidated net sales were $874.6 million in the second quarter of 2016, representing a 4.3 percent decrease as compared to the second quarter of 2015 due primarily to the pass through of lower raw material costs across all businesses and lower unit volumes in the metal and plastic container businesses, partially offset by a favorable mix of products sold in the metal container business, an increase in unit volumes in the closures business and slightly favorable foreign currency translation. Income from operations for the second quarter of 2016 decreased by $10.6 million, or 13.5 percent, as compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to start-up costs related to the new manufacturing facilities, higher rationalization charges, higher incremental costs and inefficiencies incurred to service customers during the footprint optimization program in the plastic container business, lower unit volumes in the metal and plastic container businesses and the unfavorable impact from the lagged pass through of changes in resin costs in the plastic container and closures businesses. These decreases were partially offset by better operating performance in the metal container and closures businesses, a favorable mix of products sold in the metal container business and higher unit volumes in the closures business. Rationalization charges were $5.0 million for the second quarter of 2016 as compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 2015. Net income for the second quarter of 2016 was $33.3 million as compared to $42.2 million for the same period in 2015. Net income per diluted share for the second quarter of 2016 was $0.55 as compared to $0.70 for the same period in 2015.

Net Sales. The $39.6 million decrease in consolidated net sales in the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the second quarter of 2015 was the result of lower net sales across all businesses.

Net sales for the metal container business decreased $24.1 million, or 4.4 percent, in the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015. This decrease was primarily the result of the pass through of lower raw material costs and a decrease in unit volumes of approximately 2 percent, partially offset by a favorable mix of products sold and the impact of slightly favorable foreign currency translation. The decrease in unit volumes was primarily the result of a stronger start to the midwest vegetable pack in the U.S. in the prior year quarter and a slower start to this year's seasonal vegetable pack in Europe due to cool and wet conditions.

Net sales for the closures business decreased $0.6 million, or 0.3 percent, in the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015. This decrease was primarily the result of the pass through of lower raw material costs, largely offset by an increase in unit volumes of approximately 3 percent and the impact of slightly favorable foreign currency translation. The increase in unit volumes was primarily due to continued strong demand from U.S. beverage markets.

Net sales for the plastic container business decreased $14.9 million, or 9.7 percent, in the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015. This decrease was principally due to lower unit volumes of approximately 5 percent as a result of the continued rebalancing of the customer portfolio in conjunction with the footprint optimization program, the pass through of lower raw material costs and the impact of slightly unfavorable foreign currency translation.

Gross Profit. Gross profit margin remained unchanged at 14.6 percent in the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of consolidated net sales increased 0.4 percentage points to 6.3 percent for the second quarter of 2016 as compared to 5.9 percent for the same period in 2015. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.6 million to $55.0 million for the second quarter of 2016 as compared to $54.4 million for the same period in 2015.

Income from Operations. Income from operations for the second quarter of 2016 decreased by $10.6 million, or 13.5 percent, as compared to the second quarter of 2015, and operating margin decreased to 7.7 percent from 8.6 percent over the same periods.

Income from operations of the metal container business for the second quarter of 2016 decreased $2.4 million, or 5.0 percent, as compared to the same period in 2015, while operating margin remained constant at 8.7 percent over the same periods. The decrease in income from operations was primarily attributable to rationalization charges related to the shutdown of the LaPorte, Indiana manufacturing facility, start-up costs related to the new can manufacturing facility in Iowa and lower unit volumes, partially offset by a favorable mix of products sold and better operating performance than in the prior year quarter. Rationalization charges were $4.0 million for the second quarter of 2016.

Income from operations of the closures business for the second quarter of 2016 increased $0.7 million, or 2.8 percent, as compared to the same period in 2015, and operating margin increased to 12.3 percent from 11.9 percent over the same periods. The increase in income from operations was primarily due to higher unit volumes and strong operating performance, partially offset by the unfavorable impact from the lagged pass through of increases in resin costs.

-20-

Income from operations of the plastic container business for the second quarter of 2016 decreased $8.4 million as compared to the same period in 2015, and operating margin decreased to 0.7 percent from 6.1 percent over the same periods. The decrease in income from operations was primarily attributable to higher incremental costs and inefficiencies incurred to service customers during the footprint optimization program, lower unit volumes, start-up costs related to the new manufacturing facilities in Pennsylvania and Missouri and the favorable impact in the prior year period from the lagged pass through of decreases in resin costs.

Interest and Other Debt Expense. Interest and other debt expense for the second quarter of 2016 increased slightly to $16.9 million as compared to $16.8 million in the same period in 2015.

Provision for Income Taxes. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2016 was 34.4 percent as compared to 31.3 percent for the same period in 2015. The effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2015 benefitted from higher income in lower tax jurisdictions.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2015

Overview. Consolidated net sales were $1.67 billion in the first six months of 2016, representing a 3.7 percent decrease as compared to the first six months of 2015 primarily as a result of the pass through of lower raw material costs across all businesses and lower unit volumes and the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation in the plastic container business, partially offset by an increase in unit volumes in the closures business and a favorable mix of products sold in the metal container business. Income from operations for the first six months of 2016 decreased by $20.3 million, or 14.0 percent, as compared to the same period in 2015 primarily as a result of higher manufacturing costs in the metal and plastic container businesses including start-up costs related to the new manufacturing facilities, the unfavorable impact from the lagged pass through of changes in resin costs in the closures and plastic container businesses as compared to the prior year period, higher rationalization charges, lower unit volumes in the plastic container business and foreign currency transaction losses in the current year period as compared to foreign currency transaction gains in the prior year period. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in unit volumes and manufacturing efficiencies in the closures business and a favorable mix of products sold in the metal container business. Rationalization charges were $6.1 million for the first six months of 2016 as compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2015. Net income was $59.9 million for the first six months of 2016 as compared to $75.5 million for the same period in 2015. Net income per diluted share for the first six months of 2016 was $0.98 as compared to $1.22 for the same period in 2015.

Net Sales. The $63.4 million decrease in consolidated net sales in the first six months of 2016 as compared to the first six months of 2015 was the result of lower net sales across all businesses.

Net sales for the metal container business decreased $29.5 million, or 2.9 percent, in the first six months of 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015. This decrease was primarily the result of the pass through of lower raw material costs, partially offset by a favorable mix of products sold.

Net sales for the closures business decreased $2.6 million, or 0.6 percent, in the first six months of 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015. This decrease was primarily the result of the pass through of lower raw material costs, partially offset by an increase in unit volumes of approximately 4 percent. The increase in unit volumes was primarily due to strong demand from U.S. beverage markets.

Net sales for the plastic container business decreased $31.3 million, or 10 percent, in the first six months of 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015. This decrease was principally due to the pass through of lower raw material costs, lower unit volumes of approximately 3 percent primarily as a result of the continued rebalancing of the customer portfolio in conjunction with the footprint optimization program and the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $4.5 million.

Gross Profit. Gross profit margin decreased 0.3 percentage points to 14.5 percent in the first six months of 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015 for the reasons discussed below in "Income from Operations."

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of consolidated net sales increased 0.3 percentage points to 6.6 percent for the first six months of 2016 as compared to 6.3 percent for the same period in 2015. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.5 million to $110.4 million for the first six months of 2016 as compared to $108.9 million for the same period in 2015.

Income from Operations. Income from operations for the first six months of 2016 decreased by $20.3 million, or 14.0 percent, as compared to the first six months of 2015, and operating margin decreased to 7.5 percent from 8.4 percent over the same periods.

Income from operations of the metal container business for the first six months of 2016 decreased $5.5 million, or 6.2 percent, as compared to the same period in 2015, and operating margin decreased to 8.5 percent from 8.8 percent over the same periods. The decrease in income from operations was primarily due to higher manufacturing costs including start-up costs related to the new can manufacturing facility, higher rationalization charges related to the shutdown of the LaPorte, Indiana manufacturing facility and foreign currency transaction gains in the prior year period, partially offset by a more favorable mix of products sold. Rationalization charges were $4.0 million for the first six months of 2016.

Income from operations of the closures business for the first six months of 2016 increased $3.6 million, or 7.8 percent, as compared to the same period in 2015, and operating margin increased to 12.4 percent from 11.4 percent over the same periods. The increase in income from operations was primarily due to higher unit volumes and manufacturing efficiencies, partially offset by the unfavorable impact from the lagged pass through of changes in resin costs.

Income from operations of the plastic container business for the first six months of 2016 decreased $17.5 million, as compared to the same period in 2015, and operating margin decreased to 0.4 percent from 5.9 percent over the same periods. The decrease in income from operations was primarily attributable to higher incremental costs and inefficiencies incurred to service customers during the footprint optimization program, start-up costs related to the new manufacturing facilities, lower unit volumes, the favorable impact in the prior year period from the lagged pass through of decreases in resin costs, higher rationalization charges and foreign currency transaction losses. Rationalization charges were $1.7 million and $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Interest and Other Debt Expense. Interest and other debt expense for the first six months of 2016 increased slightly to $33.3 million as compared to $33.2 million in the same period in 2015.

Provision for Income Taxes. The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2016 was 34.7 percent as compared to 32.6 percent in the same period in 2015. The effective tax rate in 2016 was unfavorably impacted by the cumulative adjustment of a change in tax law in a certain foreign jurisdiction, partially offset by higher income in more favorable tax jurisdictions. The effective tax rate in 2015 benefitted from higher income in more favorable tax jurisdictions.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Our principal sources of liquidity have been net cash from operating activities and borrowings under our debt instruments, including our senior secured credit facility. Our liquidity requirements arise from our obligations under the indebtedness incurred in connection with our acquisitions and the refinancing of that indebtedness, capital investment in new and existing equipment, the funding of our seasonal working capital needs and other general corporate uses.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we used net borrowings of revolving loans of $417.3 million to fund cash used in operations of $162.6 million, decreases in outstanding checks of $101.8 million, net capital expenditures of $102.9 million, dividends paid on our common stock of $20.9 million, the repayment of $6.4 million of long-term debt and repurchases of common stock under the stock plan of $2.2 million and to increase cash and cash equivalents by $20.5 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we used net borrowings of revolving loans of $416.1 million, cash and cash equivalents of $95.9 million and proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt of $4.0 million to fund repurchases of our common stock of $170.1 million, cash used in operations of $136.0 million, decreases in outstanding checks of $82.8 million, net capital expenditures of $98.1 million, dividends paid on our common stock of $20.1 million, the repayment of $5.6 million of long-term debt, repurchases of common stock under the stock plan of $2.6 million and the purchase of a business for $0.7 million.

At June 30, 2016, we had $416.5 million of revolving loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement. After taking into account outstanding letters of credit, the available portion of revolving loans under the Credit Agreement at June 30, 2016 was $551.1 million and Cdn $15.0 million.

Because we sell metal containers and closures used in fruit and vegetable pack processing, we have seasonal sales. As is common in the industry, we must utilize working capital to build inventory and then carry accounts receivable for some customers beyond the end of the packing season. Due to our seasonal requirements, which generally peak sometime in the summer or early fall, we may incur short-term indebtedness to finance our working capital requirements. Our peak seasonal working capital requirements have historically averaged approximately $350 million. We fund seasonal working capital requirements through revolving loans under the Credit Agreement, other foreign bank loans and cash on hand. We may use the available portion of revolving loans under

-22-

the Credit Agreement, after taking into account our seasonal needs and outstanding letters of credit, for other general corporate purposes including acquisitions, capital expenditures, dividends, stock repurchases and to refinance or repurchase other debt.

We believe that cash generated from operations and funds from borrowings available under the Credit Agreement and other foreign bank loans will be sufficient to meet our expected operating needs, planned capital expenditures, debt service, tax obligations, pension benefit plan contributions, share repurchases and common stock dividends for the foreseeable future. We continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities in the consumer goods packaging market and may incur additional indebtedness, including indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, to finance any such acquisition.

We are in compliance with all financial and operating covenants contained in our financing agreements and believe that we will continue to be in compliance during 2016 with all of these covenants.

Rationalization Charges

We continually evaluate cost reduction opportunities across each of our businesses, including rationalizations of our existing facilities through plant closings and downsizings. We use a disciplined approach to identify opportunities that generate attractive cash returns. Under our rationalization plans, we made cash payments of $3.7 million and $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Additional cash spending under our rationalization plans of approximately $8.2 million is expected primarily within the next twelve months.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2015, the FASB issued an ASU that amends existing guidance for measuring inventories. This amendment requires us to measure inventories recorded using the first-in, first-out method and the average cost method at the lower of cost and net realizable value. This amendment did not change the methodology for measuring inventories recorded using the last-in, first-out method. As permitted, we have adopted this amendment early, effective January 1, 2016, and have applied it prospectively. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU that amends the guidance for revenue recognition. This amendment contains principles that will require an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods and services to customers at an amount that an entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This amendment permits the use of one of two retrospective transition methods. This amendment will be effective for us on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted up to one year prior to the effective date. We have not yet selected a transition method and are currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risks relating to our operations result primarily from changes in interest rates and, with respect to our international metal container and closures operations and our Canadian plastic container operations, from foreign currency exchange rates. In the normal course of business, we also have risk related to commodity price changes for items such as natural gas. We employ established policies and procedures to manage our exposure to these risks. Interest rate, foreign currency and commodity pricing transactions are used only to the extent considered necessary to meet our objectives. We do not utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

Information regarding our interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity pricing risk has been disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. Since such filing, there has not been a material change to our interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity pricing risk or to our policies and procedures to manage our exposure to these risks.

You should also read Notes 5 and 6 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As required by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, these internal controls.
