NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Tabular data dollars in millions, except per share amounts

 

1.              Segment Information

 

The Company has four reportable segments based on its geographic locations:  Europe, North America, South America and Asia Pacific.  These four segments are aligned with the Company’s internal approach to managing, reporting, and evaluating performance of its global glass operations.  Certain assets and activities not directly related to one of the regions or to glass manufacturing are reported with Retained corporate costs and other.  These include licensing, equipment manufacturing, global engineering, and non-glass equity investments.  Retained corporate costs and other also includes certain headquarters administrative and facilities costs and certain incentive compensation and other benefit plan costs that are global in nature and are not allocable to the reportable segments.

 

The Company’s measure of profit for its reportable segments is segment operating profit, which consists of consolidated earnings from continuing operations before interest income, interest expense, and provision for income taxes and excludes amounts related to certain items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations as well as certain retained corporate costs.  The Company’s management uses segment operating profit, in combination with net sales and selected cash flow information, to evaluate performance and to allocate resources.  Segment operating profit for reportable segments includes an allocation of some corporate expenses based on both a percentage of sales and direct billings based on the costs of specific services provided.

 

Financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 regarding the Company’s reportable segments is as follows:

The Company has certain derivative assets and liabilities which consist of natural gas forwards and foreign exchange option and forward contracts.  The Company uses an income approach to valuing these contracts.  Natural gas forward rates and foreign exchange rates are the significant inputs into the valuation models.  These inputs are observable in active markets over the terms of the instruments the Company holds, and accordingly, the Company classifies its derivative assets and liabilities as Level 2 in the hierarchy.  The Company also evaluates counterparty risk in determining fair values.

 

Commodity Futures Contracts Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

 

In North America, the Company enters into commodity futures contracts related to forecasted natural gas requirements, the objectives of which are to limit the effects of fluctuations in the future market price paid for natural gas and the related volatility in cash flows.  The Company continually evaluates the natural gas market and related price risk and periodically enters into commodity futures contracts in order to hedge a portion of its usage requirements.  The majority of the sales volume in North America is tied to customer contracts that contain provisions that pass the price of natural gas to the customer.  In certain of these contracts, the customer has the option of fixing the natural gas price component for a specified period of time.  At September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company had entered into commodity futures contracts covering approximately 6,600,000 MM BTUs and 6,300,000 MM BTUs, respectively, primarily related to customer requests to lock the price of natural gas.

 

The Company accounts for the above futures contracts as cash flow hedges at September 30, 2013 and recognizes them on the balance sheet at fair value. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as, and meets the required criteria for, a cash flow hedge is recorded in the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income component of share owners’ equity (“OCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the underlying hedged item affects earnings. At September 30, 2013 and 2012, an unrecognized loss of $1 million and an immaterial unrecognized gain, respectively, related to the commodity futures contracts were included in Accumulated OCI, and will be reclassified into earnings over the next twelve to twenty-four months.  Any material portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge that is deemed to be ineffective is recognized in current earnings. The ineffectiveness related to these natural gas hedges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was not material.

Foreign Exchange Contracts not Designated as Hedging Instruments

 

The Company’s subsidiaries may enter into short-term forward exchange or option agreements to purchase foreign currencies at set rates in the future. These agreements are used to limit exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates for significant planned purchases of fixed assets or commodities that are denominated in currencies other than the subsidiaries’ functional currency. Subsidiaries may also use foreign exchange contracts to offset the foreign currency risk for receivables and payables, including intercompany receivables and payables, not denominated in, or indexed to, their functional currencies. The Company records these short-term foreign exchange agreements on the balance sheet at fair value and changes in the fair value are recognized in current earnings.

 

At September 30, 2013 and 2012, various subsidiaries of the Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts denominated in various currencies covering the equivalent of approximately $740 million and $640 million, respectively, related primarily to intercompany transactions and loans.

Balance Sheet Classification

 

The Company records the fair values of derivative financial instruments on the balance sheet as follows: (a) receivables if the instrument has a positive fair value and maturity within one year, (b) deposits, receivables, and other assets if the instrument has a positive fair value and maturity after one year, (c) other accrued liabilities or other liabilities (current) if the instrument has a negative fair value and maturity within one year, and (d) other liabilities if the instrument has a negative fair value and maturity after one year.  The following table shows the amount and classification (as noted above) of the Company’s derivatives:

The Company’s decisions to curtail selected production capacity have resulted in write downs of certain long-lived assets to the extent their carrying amounts exceeded fair value or fair value less cost to sell.  The Company classified the significant assumptions used to determine the fair value of the impaired assets as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as set forth in the general accounting principles for fair value measurements.

 

European Asset Optimization

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded charges of $7 million related to the European Asset Optimization program. These charges represented additional employee costs that the Company was required to record for the furnace closures announced during the fourth quarter of 2012.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded charges of $9 million for employee costs and asset impairments related to the closure of a furnace in Europe.

 

Asia Pacific Restructuring

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded charges of $27 million for employee costs and asset impairments related to the closure of a furnace in Asia Pacific.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded a curtailment gain related to modifications made to one of its U.S. postretirement benefit plans that reduced or eliminated certain health care and life insurance benefits. These modifications also resulted in a $55 million reduction in the postretirement benefit obligation that was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

6.  Income Taxes

 

The Company performs a quarterly review of the annual effective tax rate and makes changes if necessary based on new information or events. The estimated annual effective tax rate is forecasted quarterly using actual historical information and forward-looking estimates. The estimated annual effective tax rate may fluctuate due to changes in forecasted annual operating income; changes in the forecasted mix of earnings by country; changes to the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets (such changes would be recorded discretely in the quarter in which they occur); changes to actual or forecasted permanent book to tax differences (non-deductible expenses); impacts from future tax settlements with state, federal or foreign tax authorities (such changes would be recorded discretely in the quarter in which they occur); or impacts from tax law changes. To the extent such changes impact deferred tax assets/liabilities, these changes would generally be recorded discretely in the quarter in which they occur.  Additionally, the annual effective tax rate differs from the statutory U.S. Federal tax rate of 35% primarily because of valuation allowances in some jurisdictions and varying non-U.S. tax rates.

 

14



 

The Company records a liability for unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions.  The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the estimated liability could decrease up to $15 million within the next 12 months.  This is primarily the result of audit settlements or statute expirations in several taxing jurisdictions.

On May 19, 2011, the Company’s subsidiary borrowers entered into the Secured Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”).  At September 30, 2013, the Agreement included a $900 million revolving credit facility, a $450 million term loan, an 81 million Canadian dollar term loan, and a €99 million term loan, each of which has a final maturity date of May 19, 2016. During 2013, the Company’s subsidiary borrowers repaid 51 million Australian dollars on Term Loan A, $75 million on Term Loan B, 21 million Canadian dollars on Term Loan C and €24 million on Term Loan D under the Agreement. At September 30, 2013, the Company’s subsidiary borrowers had unused credit of $817 million available under the Agreement.

 

The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Agreement at September 30, 2013 was 2.02%.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a subsidiary of the Company repurchased $46 million of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes. The amount by which the cash paid exceeded the fair value of the notes repurchased was recorded as a reduction to share owners’ equity. The Company recorded $3 million of additional interest charges for the loss on debt extinguishment and the related write-off of unamortized finance fees.

 

During March 2013, a subsidiary of the Company issued senior notes with a face value of €330 million due March 31, 2021. The notes bear interest at 4.875% and are guaranteed by substantially

all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. The net proceeds, after deducting debt issuance costs, totaled approximately $418 million.

 

During March 2013, a subsidiary of the Company discharged, in accordance with the indenture, all €300 million of the 6.875% senior notes due 2017. The Company recorded $11 million of additional interest charges for note repurchase premiums and the related write-off of unamortized finance fees.

 

The Company has a €215 million European accounts receivable securitization program, which extends through September 2016, subject to periodic renewal of backup credit lines.  Information related to the Company’s accounts receivable securitization program is as follows:

8.  Contingencies

 

Asbestos

 

The Company is a defendant in numerous lawsuits alleging bodily injury and death as a result of exposure to asbestos dust.  From 1948 to 1958, one of the Company’s former business units commercially produced and sold approximately $40 million of a high-temperature, calcium-silicate based pipe and block insulation material containing asbestos.  The Company exited the pipe and block insulation business in April 1958.  The typical asbestos personal injury lawsuit alleges various theories of liability, including negligence, gross negligence and strict liability and seek compensatory and in some cases, punitive damages in various amounts (herein referred to as “asbestos claims”).

As of September 30, 2013, the Company has determined that it is a named defendant in asbestos lawsuits and claims involving approximately 2,600 plaintiffs and claimants.  Based on an analysis of the lawsuits pending as of December 31, 2012, approximately 66% of plaintiffs either do not specify the monetary damages sought, or in the case of court filings, claim an amount sufficient to invoke the jurisdictional minimum of the trial court.  Approximately 30% of plaintiffs specifically plead damages of $15 million or less, and 4% of plaintiffs specifically plead damages greater than $15 million but less than $100 million.  Fewer than 1% of plaintiffs specifically plead damages equal to or greater than $100 million.

 

As indicated by the foregoing summary, current pleading practice permits considerable variation in the assertion of monetary damages.  The Company’s experience resolving hundreds of thousands of asbestos claims and lawsuits over an extended period demonstrates that the monetary relief that may be alleged in a complaint bears little relevance to a claim’s merits or disposition value.  Rather, the amount potentially recoverable is determined by such factors as the severity of the plaintiff’s asbestos disease, the product identification evidence against the Company and other defendants, the defenses available to the Company and other defendants, the specific jurisdiction in which the claim is made, and the plaintiff’s medical history and exposure to other disease-causing agents.

 

In addition to the pending claims set forth above, the Company has claims-handling agreements in place with many plaintiffs’ counsel throughout the country.  These agreements require evaluation and negotiation regarding whether particular claimants qualify under the criteria established by such agreements. The criteria for such claims include verification of a compensable illness and a reasonable probability of exposure to a product manufactured by the Company’s former business unit during its manufacturing period ending in 1958.

 

The Company has also been a defendant in other asbestos-related lawsuits or claims involving maritime workers, medical monitoring claimants, co-defendants and property damage claimants.  Based upon its past experience, the Company believes that these categories of lawsuits and claims will not involve any material liability and they are not included in the above description of pending matters or in the following description of disposed matters.

 

Since receiving its first asbestos claim, the Company as of September 30, 2013, has disposed of the asbestos claims of approximately 392,000 plaintiffs and claimants at an average indemnity payment per claim of approximately $8,600.  Certain of these dispositions have included deferred amounts payable over time.  Deferred amounts payable totaled approximately $8 million at September 30, 2013 ($24 million at December 31, 2012) and are included in the foregoing average indemnity payment per claim.  The Company’s asbestos indemnity payments have varied on a per claim basis, and are expected to continue to vary considerably over time.  As discussed above, a part of the Company’s objective is to achieve, where possible, resolution of asbestos claims pursuant to claims-handling agreements.  Failure of claimants to meet certain medical and product exposure criteria in the Company’s administrative claims handling agreements has generally reduced the number of marginal or suspect claims that would otherwise have been received.  In addition, certain courts and legislatures have reduced or eliminated the number of marginal or suspect claims that the Company otherwise would have received.  These developments generally have had the effect of increasing the Company’s per-claim average indemnity payment.

 

The Company believes that its ultimate asbestos-related liability (i.e., its indemnity payments or other claim disposition costs plus related legal fees) cannot reasonably be estimated. Beginning with the initial liability of $975 million established in 1993, the Company has accrued a total of approximately $4.3 billion through 2012, before insurance recoveries, for its asbestos-related liability.  The Company’s ability to reasonably estimate its liability has been significantly affected by,

 

17



 

among other factors, the volatility of asbestos-related litigation in the United States, the significant number of co-defendants that have filed for bankruptcy, the magnitude and timing of co-defendant bankruptcy trust payments, the inherent uncertainty of future disease incidence and claiming patterns, the expanding list of non-traditional defendants that have been sued in this litigation, and the use of mass litigation screenings to generate large numbers of claims by parties who allege exposure to asbestos dust but have no present physical asbestos impairment.

 

The Company has continued to monitor trends that may affect its ultimate liability and has continued to analyze the developments and variables affecting or likely to affect the resolution of pending and future asbestos claims against the Company. The material components of the Company’s accrued liability are based on amounts determined by the Company in connection with its annual comprehensive review and consist of the following estimates, to the extent it is probable that such liabilities have been incurred and can be reasonably estimated: (i) the liability for asbestos claims already asserted against the Company; (ii) the liability for preexisting but unasserted asbestos claims for prior periods arising under its administrative claims-handling agreements with various plaintiffs’ counsel; (iii) the liability for asbestos claims not yet asserted against the Company, but which the Company believes will be asserted in the next several years; and (iv) the legal defense costs likely to be incurred in connection with the foregoing types of claims.

 

The significant assumptions underlying the material components of the Company’s accrual are:

 

a)             the extent to which settlements are limited to claimants who were exposed to the Company’s asbestos-containing insulation prior to its exit from that business in 1958;

 

b)             the extent to which claims are resolved under the Company’s administrative claims agreements or on terms comparable to those set forth in those agreements;

 

c)              the extent of decrease or increase in the incidence of serious disease cases and claiming patterns for such cases;

 

d)             the extent to which the Company is able to defend itself successfully at trial;

 

e)              the extent to which courts and legislatures eliminate, reduce or permit the diversion of financial resources for unimpaired claimants;

 

f)               the number and timing of additional co-defendant bankruptcies;

 

g)              the extent to which bankruptcy trusts direct resources to resolve claims that are also presented to the Company and the timing of the payments made by the bankruptcy trusts; and

 

h)             the extent to which co-defendants with substantial resources and assets continue to participate significantly in the resolution of future asbestos lawsuits and claims.

 

As noted above, the Company conducts a comprehensive review of its asbestos-related liabilities and costs annually in connection with finalizing and reporting its annual results of operations, unless significant changes in trends or new developments warrant an earlier review.  If the results of an annual comprehensive review indicate that the existing amount of the accrued liability is insufficient to cover its estimated future asbestos-related costs, then the Company will record an appropriate charge to increase the accrued liability.  The Company believes that a reasonable estimation of the probable amount of the liability for claims not yet asserted against the Company is not possible beyond a period of several years.  Therefore, while the results of future annual comprehensive reviews cannot be determined, the Company expects the addition of one year to the estimation period will result in an annual charge.

 

18



 

The Company’s reported results of operations for 2012 were materially affected by the $155 million fourth quarter charge for asbestos-related costs and asbestos-related payments continue to be substantial.  Any future additional charge would likewise materially affect the Company’s results of operations for the period in which it is recorded. Also, the continued use of significant amounts of cash for asbestos-related costs has affected and may continue to affect the Company’s cost of borrowing and its ability to pursue global or domestic acquisitions. However, the Company believes that its operating cash flows and other sources of liquidity will be sufficient to pay its obligations for asbestos-related costs and to fund its working capital and capital expenditure requirements on a short-term and long-term basis.

 

Other Matters

 

The Company conducted an internal investigation into conduct in certain of its overseas operations that may have violated the anti-bribery provisions of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”), the FCPA’s books and records and internal controls provisions, the Company’s own internal policies, and various local laws.  In October 2012, the Company voluntarily disclosed these matters to the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  The Company intends to cooperate with any investigation by U.S. authorities.

 

On July 18, 2013, the Company received a letter from the DOJ indicating that it presently did not intend to take any enforcement action and is closing its inquiry into the matter.

 

The Company is presently unable to predict the duration, scope or result of any investigation by the SEC or whether the SEC will commence any legal action.  The SEC has a broad range of civil sanctions under the FCPA and other laws and regulations including, but not limited to, injunctive relief, disgorgement, penalties, and modifications to business practices.  The Company could also be subject to investigation and sanctions outside the United States.  While the Company is currently unable to quantify the impact of any potential sanctions or remedial measures, it does not expect such actions will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, results of operations or financial condition.

 

The Company received a non-income tax assessment from a foreign tax authority for approximately $90 million (including penalties and interest). The Company challenged this assessment, but the tax authority’s position was upheld in court. The Company strongly disagrees with this ruling and believes it to be contradictory to other court rulings in the Company’s favor. Although the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this case, it believes that it is probable that the tax authority’s assessment will be overturned by a higher court, and therefore, the Company has not established an accrual. In order to contest the lower court rulings, legal rules require the Company to deposit the amount of the tax assessment, which will be remitted in monthly installments over the next twenty-four months. A favorable ruling by the higher court will result in a return to the Company of amounts paid. An unfavorable ruling will result in the forfeiture of the deposit, a charge of approximately $60 million and a non-income tax refund of $30 million.  As of September 30, 2013, the Company has made installment payments totaling $34 million, which is included in Other assets on the balance sheet.

 

Other litigation is pending against the Company, in many cases involving ordinary and routine claims incidental to the business of the Company and in others presenting allegations that are non-routine and involve compensatory, punitive or treble damage claims as well as other types of relief.  The Company records a liability for such matters when it is both probable that the liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated.  Recorded amounts are

reviewed and adjusted to reflect changes in the factors upon which the estimates are based including additional information, negotiations, settlements, and other events.

Options to purchase 1,505,341 and 2,144,413 weighted average shares of common stock which were outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares.

 

The 2015 Exchangeable Notes have a dilutive effect only in those periods in which the Company’s average stock price exceeds the exchange price of $47.47 per share.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s average stock price did not exceed the exchange price.  Therefore, the potentially issuable shares resulting from the settlement of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

Cash interest for 2013 includes note repurchase premiums of $10 million related to the discharge of the Company’s 6.875% senior notes due 2017 and the repurchase of a portion of the Company’s 3.00% exchangeable senior notes due 2015.

 

14.  Discontinued Operations

 

On October 26, 2010, the Venezuelan government, through Presidential Decree No. 7.751, expropriated the assets of Owens-Illinois de Venezuela and Fabrica de Vidrios Los Andes, C.A., two of the Company’s subsidiaries in that country, which in effect constituted a taking of the going concerns of those companies.  Shortly after the issuance of the decree, the Venezuelan government installed temporary administrative boards to control the expropriated assets.

 

Since the issuance of the decree, the Company has cooperated with the Venezuelan government, as it is compelled to do under Venezuelan law, to provide for an orderly transition while ensuring the safety and well-being of the employees and the integrity of the production facilities.  The Company has been engaged in negotiations with the Venezuelan government in relation to certain aspects of the expropriation, including the compensation payable by the government as a result of its expropriation. On September 26, 2011, the Company, having been unable to reach an agreement with the Venezuelan government regarding fair compensation, commenced an arbitration against Venezuela through the World Bank’s International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes.  The Company is unable at this stage to predict the amount, or timing of receipt, of compensation it will ultimately receive.

 

The loss from discontinued operations of $15 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 includes $8 million of special termination benefits related to a previously disposed business and $7 million for ongoing costs related to the Venezuela expropriation.

 

15.  New Accounting Pronouncement

 

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance related to the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when net operating loss carryforwards or tax credit carryforwards exist. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2013. Adoption of this guidance will impact how the Company presents certain of its unrecognized tax benefits on its balance sheet, with no impact to its results of operations or cash flows.

 

16.  Financial Information for Subsidiary Guarantors and Non-Guarantors

 

The following presents condensed consolidating financial information for the Company, segregating:  (1) Owens-Illinois, Inc., the issuer of senior debentures (the “Parent”); (2) the two

 

25



 

subsidiaries which have guaranteed the senior debentures on a subordinated basis (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”); and (3) all other subsidiaries (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”).  The Guarantor Subsidiaries are 100% owned direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company and their guarantees are full, unconditional and joint and several.  They have no operations and function only as intermediate holding companies.

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform all of the financial information to the financial presentation on a consolidated basis.  The principal eliminations relate to investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

The Company’s measure of profit for its reportable segments is segment operating profit, which consists of consolidated earnings from continuing operations before interest income, interest expense, and provision for income taxes and excludes amounts related to certain items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations as well as certain retained corporate costs.  The segment data presented below is prepared in accordance with general accounting principles for segment reporting.  The line titled “reportable segment totals”, however, is a non-GAAP measure when presented outside of the financial statement footnotes.  Management has included reportable segment totals below to facilitate the discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations.  The Company’s management uses segment operating profit, in combination with net sales and selected cash flow information, to evaluate performance and to allocate resources.

 

Financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 regarding the Company’s reportable segments is as follows (dollars in millions):

Executive Overview — Quarters ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

 

Third Quarter 2013 Highlights

 

·                  Net sales higher due to improved pricing and 2% increase in glass container shipments, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate changes.

·                  Segment operating profit higher due to benefits realized from permanent footprint adjustments, higher sales and production volumes and other global cost control initiatives, partially offset by cost inflation and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate changes.

 

Net sales were $37 million higher than the prior year due to higher selling prices and a 2% increase in glass container shipments, driven by higher sales volumes in Europe, North America and Asia Pacific. The impact of higher selling prices and sales volumes was partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate changes.

 

Segment operating profit for reportable segments was $14 million higher than the prior year. Benefits realized from permanent footprint adjustments made in Europe and Asia Pacific, higher sales and production volumes and other global cost control initiatives were partially offset by cost

inflation in excess of higher selling prices and the unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes.

 

Interest expense for the third quarter of 2013 decreased $5 million compared to the third quarter of 2012. The decrease was due to debt reduction initiatives and lower interest rates.

 

Net earnings from continuing operations attributable to the Company for the third quarter of 2013 was $132 million, or $0.79 per share (diluted), compared with $92 million, or $0.55 per share (diluted), for the third quarter of 2012. Earnings in the third quarter of 2012 included items that management considered not representative of ongoing operations. These items decreased net earnings attributable to the Company in the third quarter of 2012 by $23 million, or $0.14 per share. There were no items that management considered not representative of ongoing operations in the third quarter of 2013.

 

Results of Operations — Third Quarter of 2013 compared with Third Quarter of 2012

 

Net Sales

 

The Company’s net sales in the third quarter of 2013 were $1,784 million compared with $1,747 million for the third quarter of 2012, an increase of $37 million, or 2%. The increase in net sales was partly due to higher selling prices. In addition, glass container shipments, in tonnes, were up 2% in the third quarter of 2013 compared to the third quarter of 2012, as higher sales volumes in Europe, North America and Asia Pacific offset declines in South America. The unfavorable effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes decreased net sales, primarily due to a weaker Brazilian real and Australian dollar, partially offset by a stronger euro.

 

The change in net sales of reportable segments can be summarized as follows (dollars in millions):

Europe:  Net sales in Europe in the third quarter of 2013 were $733 million compared with $652 million for the third quarter of 2012, an increase of $81 million, or 12%. Higher glass container shipments in the third quarter of 2013, which were up 7% compared to the third quarter of 2012, increased net sales by $46 million. The higher sales volume in the quarter was primarily due to increases in the wine, food and beer categories. The favorable effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes increased net sales by $36 million in the current year as the Euro strengthened in relation to the U.S. dollar. Slightly higher selling prices were offset by unfavorable product mix during the quarter.

 

North America:  Net sales in North America in the third quarter of 2013 were $529 million compared with $513 million for the third quarter of 2012, an increase of $16 million, or 3%. The increase in net sales was primarily due to higher selling prices of $13 million in the third quarter of 2013 as the Company increased prices to recover cost inflation. Glass container shipments were up 1% in the quarter compared to the prior year, driven by increases in the non-alcoholic beverage, spirits and wine categories, partially offset by lower shipments of food containers.

 

36



 

South America:  Net sales in South America in the third quarter of 2013 were $282 million compared with $323 million for the third quarter of 2012, a decrease of $41 million, or 13%. The unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes decreased net sales $28 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2012, principally due to an 11% decline in the Brazilian real in relation to the U.S. dollar. Lower glass container shipments in the third quarter of 2013, which were down 9% compared to the third quarter of 2012, decreased net sales by $27 million. The lower sales volume was primarily due to lower beer demand across the region and the impact of general strikes in Colombia in the mining, agriculture and transportation industries. Improved pricing in the current quarter benefited net sales by $14 million.

 

Asia Pacific:  Net sales in Asia Pacific in the third quarter of 2013 were $236 million compared with $254 million for the third quarter of 2012, a decrease of $18 million, or 7%. The unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes during the third quarter of 2013 decreased net sales by $22 million, primarily due to a 13% decline in the Australian dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar. The unfavorable currency exchange rate changes were partially offset by a 1% increase in glass container shipments and improved pricing.

 

Segment Operating Profit

 

Operating profit of the reportable segments includes an allocation of some corporate expenses based on both a percentage of sales and direct billings based on the costs of specific services provided. Unallocated corporate expenses and certain other expenses not directly related to the reportable segments’ operations are included in Retained corporate costs and other. For further information, see Segment Information included in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Segment operating profit of reportable segments in the third quarter of 2013 was $259 million compared to $245 million for the third quarter of 2012, an increase of $14 million, or 6%. The increase in segment operating profit was mainly due to the higher sales volume discussed above and lower manufacturing and delivery costs, partly due to the benefits realized from the permanent footprint adjustments made in Europe and Asia Pacific over the past year, as well as other global cost control initiatives. The improvement in manufacturing and delivery costs was also the result of higher production levels in Europe, driven by the Company’s decision to better phase production over the course of the year. Cost inflation in the third quarter of 2013 exceeded higher selling prices.

Europe:  Segment operating profit in Europe in the third quarter of 2013 was $97 million compared with $74 million in the third quarter of 2012, an increase of $23 million, or 31%. The improvement in segment operating profit was primarily due to $13 million from higher sales volumes and a $20 million decrease in manufacturing and delivery costs. The decrease in manufacturing and delivery costs was partly due to the benefits realized from the permanent footprint adjustments made over the last year and other cost control initiatives, as well as the result of the Company’s decision to better phase production over the course of the year. This action resulted in higher production levels in Europe during the third quarter of 2013 compared to the third quarter of 2012, when production curtailments increased manufacturing and delivery costs due to lower fixed cost absorption. Cost inflation for the quarter exceeded higher selling prices.

 

North America:  Segment operating profit in North America in the third quarter of 2013 was $87 million compared with $75 million in the third quarter of 2012, an increase of $12 million, or 16%.  Higher sales volume in the third quarter of 2013 increased segment operating profit by $2 million, while lower manufacturing and delivery costs, driven by cost control initiatives, added $5 million in the current quarter. The remainder of the increase in segment operating profit was due to higher selling prices in excess of cost inflation and operating expense cost reductions.

 

South America:  Segment operating profit in South America in the third quarter of 2013 was $42 million compared with $69 million in the third quarter of 2012, a decrease of $27 million, or 39%.  The decrease in segment operating profit was primarily due to $7 million from lower sales volumes and $20 million from higher manufacturing and delivery costs. Lower production volumes in the current quarter, due to lower sales volumes and the impact of the general strikes in Colombia, resulted in higher manufacturing and delivery costs due to lower fixed cost absorption. The region also recognized additional costs in the quarter for furnace repairs. The unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes decreased segment operating profit, but were offset by higher selling prices in excess of cost inflation. The region was also negatively impacted by macroeconomic conditions in Argentina, where high cost inflation, among other issues, has created a challenging business environment.

 

Asia Pacific:  Segment operating profit in Asia Pacific in the third quarter of 2013 was $33 million compared with $27 million in the third quarter of 2012, an increase of $6 million, or 22%.  The increase in segment operating profit was primarily due to a $5 million decline in manufacturing and delivery costs driven by the benefits realized from the permanent footprint adjustments made over the past year. Segment operating profit also increased due to higher sales volume and other cost control initiatives in the third quarter of 2013. The benefit of higher selling prices in the quarter was more than offset by cost inflation. The unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes decreased segment operating profit in the current quarter.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense for the third quarter of 2013 was $56 million compared with $61 million for the third quarter of 2012. The decrease in interest expense was principally due to debt reduction initiatives and lower interest rates.

For the third quarter of 2013, the Company recorded earnings from continuing operations attributable to the Company of $132 million, or $0.79 per share (diluted), compared to $92 million, or $0.55 per share (diluted), in the third quarter of 2012. Earnings in the third quarter of 2012 included items that management considered not representative of ongoing operations. These items decreased net earnings attributable to the Company in the third quarter of 2012 by $23 million, or $0.14 per share. There were no items that management considered not representative of ongoing operations in the third quarter of 2013.

 

Executive Overview — Nine Months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

 

2013 Highlights

 

·                  Net sales lower due to 1% decline in glass container shipments and unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes, partially offset by higher selling prices.

·                  Segment operating profit lower due to decline in glass container production and shipments, partially offset by global cost control initiatives.

·                  Issued €330 million 4.875% senior notes due 2021 and discharged €300 million 6.875% senior notes due 2017.

 

Net sales were $46 million lower than the prior year due to a 1% decline in glass container shipments. Higher selling prices had a positive impact on net sales, while the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact on net sales.

 

Segment operating profit for reportable segments was $19 million lower than the prior year. The decrease was mainly attributable to lower production volume, which resulted in higher manufacturing costs, and lower sales volume, partially offset by global cost control initiatives.

 

Interest expense for the first nine months of 2013 decreased $3 million over the first nine months of 2012. The decrease was due to debt reduction initiatives and lower interest rates, partially offset by note repurchase premiums and the write-off of finance fees related to debt that was repaid during 2013 prior to its maturity.

 

Net earnings from continuing operations attributable to the Company for the first nine months of 2013 was $346 million, or $2.08 per share (diluted), compared with $348 million, or $2.10 per share (diluted), for the first nine months of 2012. Earnings in both periods included items that management considered not representative of ongoing operations. These items decreased earnings from continuing operations attributable to the Company by $20 million, or $0.12 per share, in 2013 and $23 million, or $0.14 per share, in 2012.

 

Results of Operations — First nine months of 2013 compared with first nine months of 2012

 

Net Sales

 

The Company’s net sales in the first nine months of 2013 were $5,206 million compared with $5,252 million for the first nine months of 2012, a decrease of $46 million, or 1%. Glass container shipments, in tonnes, were down 1% in 2013 compared to 2012, with lower sales reported in all regions. Net sales were also lower due to the unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes, primarily due to a weaker Brazilian real and Australian dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar,

partially offset by a stronger euro. Net sales benefited in 2013 from higher selling prices to recover cost inflation.

Europe:  Net sales in Europe in the first nine months of 2013 were $2,129 million compared with $2,088 million for the first nine months of 2012, an increase of $41 million, or 2%. Net sales increased $42 million due to the favorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes, as the Euro strengthened in relation to the U.S. dollar. Higher selling prices benefited net sales in the current year by $18 million as the Company raised prices to recover cost inflation. Glass container shipments in 2013 were down 1% compared to the prior year, particularly in the beer category. The lower sales volume, which reduced net sales by $19 million, was mainly due to the macroeconomic environment in Europe, partially offset by an increase in wine bottle sales due to the Company’s efforts to recover wine share lost in 2012.

 

North America:  Net sales in North America in the first nine months of 2013 were $1,525 million compared with $1,511 million for the first nine months of 2012, an increase of $14 million, or 1%. The increase in net sales was due to higher selling prices of $37 million as the Company increased prices to recover cost inflation. The benefit of higher selling prices was partially offset by lower sales volume of $18 million. Glass container shipments were down 1% in the current year compared to the prior year, driven by lower beer bottle sales from unfavorable weather conditions in the region compared to 2012. The unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes decreased net sales by $5 million due to a weakening of the Canadian dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar.

 

South America:  Net sales in South America in the first nine months of 2013 were $820 million compared with $882 million for the first nine months of 2012, a decrease of $62 million, or 7%. The unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes decreased net sales $63 million in 2013 compared to 2012, principally due to a 10% decline in the Brazilian real in relation to the U.S. dollar. Lower sales volume in the current year reduced net sales by $35 million due to a 3% decline in glass container shipments, driven by lower beer demand across the region and the impact of general strikes in Colombia in the mining, agriculture and transportation industries. Higher selling prices benefited net sales $36 million in the current year as the Company increased selling prices to recover cost inflation.

 

Asia Pacific:  Net sales in Asia Pacific in the first nine months of 2013 were $714 million compared with $741 million for the first nine months of 2012, a decrease of $27 million, or 4%. The unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes decreased net sales $30 million in 2013 compared to 2012, primarily due to the weakening of the Australian dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar. Glass container shipments were down 1% compared to the prior year, largely due to the closure of a plant in the region at the end of 2012, resulting in a $7 million decline in net sales. Improved pricing increased net sales $10 million in the current year.

Segment Operating Profit

 

Operating profit of the reportable segments includes an allocation of some corporate expenses based on both a percentage of sales and direct billings based on the costs of specific services provided. Unallocated corporate expenses and certain other expenses not directly related to the reportable segments’ operations are included in Retained corporate costs and other. For further information, see Segment Information included in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Segment operating profit of reportable segments in the first nine months of 2013 was $752 million compared to $771 million for the first nine months of 2012, a decrease of $19 million, or 2%. The decrease in segment operating profit was primarily due to higher manufacturing and delivery costs and lower sales volume, partially offset by lower operating expenses. Manufacturing and delivery costs were higher in the current year as the Company lowered production volumes in Europe in order to better phase production over the course of the year. This action, along with an increase in the number of furnace rebuilds in North America and South America, resulted in lower fixed cost absorption in 2013. Operating expenses were lower in the current year due to global cost control initiatives. Cost inflation in the first nine months of 2013 was offset by higher selling prices.

Europe:  Segment operating profit in Europe in the first nine months of 2013 was $267 million compared with $289 million in the first nine months of 2012, a decrease of $22 million, or 8%. The decline in sales volume discussed above decreased segment operating profit by $5 million and higher manufacturing and delivery costs decreased earnings by $20 million. The Company deliberately lowered production in this region during the first half of 2013 to better phase production over the course of the year. The lower production resulted in lower fixed cost absorption compared to the prior year. Cost inflation in the current year exceeded higher selling prices by $11 million. Lower operating expenses, driven by cost control initiatives, had a $13 million positive impact on segment operating profit during the first nine months of 2013, while the favorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes increased segment operating profit by $5 million.

 

North America:  Segment operating profit in North America in the first nine months of 2013 was $254 million compared with $249 million in the first nine months of 2012, an increase of $5 million, or 2%. Higher selling prices exceeded cost inflation in the current year, increasing segment operating profit $6 million compared to the prior year, and lower operating expenses, driven by cost control initiatives, had a $10 million positive impact on segment operating profit. Higher manufacturing and delivery costs decreased segment operating profit by $7 million in the current

year as a higher number of furnace rebuilds resulted in lower fixed cost absorption. The decline in sales volume discussed above decreased segment operating profit by $4 million.

 

South America:  Segment operating profit in South America in the first nine months of 2013 was $132 million compared with $154 million in the first nine months of 2012, a decrease of $22 million, or 14%. The lower sales volume in the current year decreased segment operating profit by $6 million, while higher manufacturing and delivery costs resulted in a $10 million decline in 2013 compared to the prior year. The higher manufacturing and delivery costs were primarily due to a higher number of furnace rebuilds and repairs in the current year and the effects of the general strikes in Colombia, partially offset by the benefits of the new furnace in Brazil that started production at the end of 2012. The unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes decreased segment operating profit by $8 million in the current year. Higher selling prices in 2013 exceeded cost inflation. The region was also negatively impacted by macroeconomic conditions in Argentina, where government price controls in the first half of the year limited the Company’s ability to effectively offset the high cost inflation experienced in this country.

 

Asia Pacific:  Segment operating profit in Asia Pacific in the first nine months of 2013 was $99 million compared with $79 million in the first nine months of 2012, an increase of $20 million, or 25%. The increase in segment operating profit was primarily due to a $16 million decline in manufacturing and delivery costs driven by the benefits realized from the permanent footprint adjustments made over the past year. Higher sales volume increased segment operating profit by $4 million and lower operating expenses, driven by cost control initiatives, had a $4 million positive impact in the current year. The benefit of higher selling prices in the current year was more than offset by cost inflation and the unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes decreased segment operating profit by $3 million in 2013.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense for the first nine months of 2013 was $184 million compared with $187 million for the first nine months of 2012. Interest expense for 2013 included $11 million for note repurchase premiums and the write-off of finance fees related to the discharge of the €300 million senior notes due 2017 and $3 million for loss on debt extinguishment and the write-off of finance fees related to the repurchase of a portion of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes. Exclusive of these items, interest expense decreased $17 million in the current year. The decrease was principally due to debt reduction initiatives and lower interest rates.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was 23.3% compared with 23.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Excluding the amounts related to items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations, the Company expects that the full year effective tax rate for 2013 will be approximately 23% compared with 22.1% for 2012. The increase in the expected effective tax rate for the full year 2013 is due to the Company’s current expected change in mix of earnings by jurisdiction.

Earnings from Continuing Operations Attributable to the Company

 

For the first nine months of 2013, the Company recorded earnings from continuing operations attributable to the Company of $346 million, or $2.08 per share (diluted), compared to $348 million, or $2.10 per share (diluted), in the first nine months of 2012. Earnings in both periods included items that management considered not representative of ongoing operations. These items decreased earnings from continuing operations attributable to the Company by $20 million, or $0.12 per share, in 2013 and $23 million, or $0.14 per share, in 2012.

 

Items Excluded from Reportable Segment Totals

 

Retained Corporate Costs and Other

 

Retained corporate costs and other for the third quarter of 2013 was $27 million compared with $26 million for the third quarter of 2012, and $92 million for the first nine months of 2013 compared with $82 million for the first nine months of 2012. Retained corporate costs and other for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 reflect lower earnings from the Company’s equity investment in a soda ash mining operation, higher pension expense and lower earnings from global machine and equipment sales, partially offset by cost control initiatives.

 

Restructuring

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded restructuring, asset impairment and related charges of $10 million, primarily related to the European Asset Optimization program.  See Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded restructuring, asset impairment and related charges totaling $9 million in the Company’s Europe segment and $27 million in its Asia Pacific segment primarily related to the closure of a furnace in each segment. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company also recorded a reduction in restructuring charges for $3 million related to a gain on the sale of a previously closed facility in North America.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

On October 26, 2010, the Venezuelan government, through Presidential Decree No. 7.751, expropriated the assets of Owens-Illinois de Venezuela and Fabrica de Vidrios Los Andes, C.A., two of the Company’s subsidiaries in that country, which in effect constituted a taking of the going concerns of those companies. Shortly after the issuance of the decree, the Venezuelan government installed temporary administrative boards to control the expropriated assets.

 

Since the issuance of the decree, the Company has cooperated with the Venezuelan government, as it is compelled to do under Venezuelan law, to provide for an orderly transition while ensuring the safety and well-being of the employees and the integrity of the production facilities. The Company has been engaged in negotiations with the Venezuelan government in relation to certain aspects of the expropriation, including the compensation payable by the government as a result of its expropriation. On September 26, 2011, the Company, having been unable to reach an agreement with the Venezuelan government regarding fair compensation, commenced an arbitration against Venezuela through the World Bank’s International Centre for Settlement of Investment

Disputes. The Company is unable at this stage to predict the amount, or timing of receipt, of compensation it will ultimately receive.

 

The loss from discontinued operations of $15 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 included $8 million of special termination benefits related to a previously disposed business and $7 million for ongoing costs related to the Venezuela expropriation.

 

Capital Resources and Liquidity

 

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had cash and total debt of $219 million and $3.7 billion, respectively, compared to $336 million and $3.9 billion, respectively, as of September 30, 2012. A significant portion of the cash was held in mature, liquid markets where the Company has operations, such as the U.S., Europe and Australia, and is readily available to fund global liquidity requirements. The amount of cash held in non-U.S. locations as of September 30, 2013 was $217 million.

 

Current and Long-Term Debt

 

On May 19, 2011, the Company’s subsidiary borrowers entered into the Secured Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”).  At September 30, 2013, the Agreement included a $900 million revolving credit facility, a $450 million term loan, an 81 million Canadian dollar term loan, and a €99 million term loan, each of which has a final maturity date of May 19, 2016. During 2013, the Company’s subsidiary borrowers repaid 51 million Australian dollars on Term Loan A, $75 million on Term Loan B, 21 million Canadian dollars on Term Loan C and €24 million on Term Loan D under the Agreement. At September 30, 2013, the Company’s subsidiary borrowers had unused credit of $817 million available under the Agreement.

 

The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Agreement at September 30, 2013 was 2.02%.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a subsidiary of the Company repurchased $46 million of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes.

 

During March 2013, a subsidiary of the Company issued senior notes with a face value of €330 million due March 31, 2021. The notes bear interest at 4.875% and are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. The net proceeds, after deducting debt issuance costs, totaled approximately $418 million.

 

During March 2013, a subsidiary of the Company discharged, in accordance with the indenture, all €300 million of the 6.875% senior notes due 2017.

 

The Company assesses its capital raising and refinancing needs on an ongoing basis and may enter into additional credit facilities and seek to issue equity and/or debt securities in the domestic and international capital markets if market conditions are favorable. Also, depending on market conditions, the Company may elect to repurchase portions of its debt securities in the open market.

Cash Flows

 

Free cash flow was $10 million for the first nine months of 2013 compared to $53 million for the first nine months of 2012. The Company defines free cash flow as cash provided by continuing operating activities less additions to property, plant and equipment from continuing operations.  Free cash flow does not conform to U.S. GAAP and should not be construed as an alternative to the cash flow measures reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company uses free cash flow for internal reporting, forecasting and budgeting and believes this information allows the board of directors, management, investors and analysts to better understand the Company’s financial performance. Free cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 is calculated as follows:

Operating activities:  Cash provided by continuing operating activities was $249 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared with $231 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The increase in cash provided by continuing operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in pension plan contributions of $53 million, an increase in equity dividends of $11 million and a decrease in income taxes paid of $7 million, partially offset by an increase in asbestos-related payments of $22 million, an increase in cash paid for restructuring activities of $7 million and installment payments made of $31 million related to a foreign non-income tax assessment (see Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information).

 

Investing activities:  Cash utilized in investing activities was $249 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $125 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Capital spending for property, plant and equipment was $239 million during the current year and $178 million during the prior year. The increase in capital spending in 2013 was primarily due to the large amount of capital projects completed during the fourth quarter of 2012 that were paid for in 2013, in addition to an increase in the number of furnace rebuilds in the current year. Cash utilized in investing activities in 2012 included $5 million for the final payment related to an acquisition in China in 2010. During the first nine months of 2012, the Company received $42 million from the Chinese government as partial compensation for the land in China that the Company was required

to return to the government. The Company also paid $16 million as loans to certain of its noncontrolling partners in 2013, while in 2012 the Company received $9 million from one of its noncontrolling partners as a repayment of a loan.

 

Financing activities:  Cash utilized in financing activities was $198 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $179 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  Financing activities in 2013 included repayments of long-term debt of $909 million, primarily related to the discharge of the €300 million senior notes due 2017, payments of $151 million on term loans under the Secured Credit Agreement and the repurchase of $46 million of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes, partially offset by additions to long-term debt of $704 million, primarily related to the issuance of the €330 million senior notes due 2021, and additions to short-term loans of $46 million. Financing activities in 2012 included repayments of long-term debt of $275 million, partially offset by additions to long-term debt of $119 million. The Company also repurchased shares of its common stock for $20 million in 2013 and $14 million in 2012. The Company received $22 million in 2013 from the exercise of stock options compared to $3 million in 2012.

 

The Company anticipates that cash flows from its operations and from utilization of credit available under the Agreement will be sufficient to fund its operating and seasonal working capital needs, debt service and other obligations on a short-term (twelve-months) and long-term basis. Based on the Company’s expectations regarding future payments for lawsuits and claims and also based on the Company’s expected operating cash flow, the Company believes that the payment of any deferred amounts of previously settled or otherwise determined lawsuits and claims, and the resolution of presently pending and anticipated future lawsuits and claims associated with asbestos, will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s liquidity on a short-term or long-term basis.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The Company’s analysis and discussion of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Estimates and assumptions are based on historical and other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances at the time the financial statements are issued. The results of these estimates may form the basis of the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities and may not be readily apparent from other sources. Actual results, under conditions and circumstances different from those assumed, may differ from estimates.

 

The impact of, and any associated risks related to, estimates and assumptions are discussed within Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, as well as in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, if applicable, where estimates and assumptions affect the Company’s reported and expected financial results.

 

There have been no other material changes in critical accounting estimates at September 30, 2013 from those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Forward Looking Statements

 

This document contains “forward looking” statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933. Forward looking statements reflect the Company’s current expectations and projections about future events at the time, and thus involve uncertainty and risk. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “may,” “plan,” “estimate,” “intend,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” and the negatives of these words and other similar expressions generally identify forward looking statements. It is possible the Company’s future financial performance may differ from expectations due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to the following: (1) foreign currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar, specifically the Euro, Brazilian real and Australian dollar, (2) changes in capital availability or cost, including interest rate fluctuations and the ability of the Company to refinance debt at favorable terms, (3) the general political, economic and competitive conditions in markets and countries where the Company has operations, including uncertainties related to the economic conditions in Australia, Europe and South America, disruptions in capital markets, disruptions in the supply chain, competitive pricing pressures, inflation or deflation, and changes in tax rates and laws, (4) consumer preferences for alternative forms of packaging, (5) cost and availability of raw materials, labor, energy and transportation, (6) the Company’s ability to manage its cost structure, including its success in implementing restructuring plans and achieving cost savings, (7) consolidation among competitors and customers, (8) the ability of the Company to acquire businesses and expand plants, integrate operations of acquired businesses and achieve expected synergies, (9) unanticipated expenditures with respect to environmental, safety and health laws, (10) the Company’s ability to further develop its sales, marketing and product development capabilities, and (11) the timing and occurrence of events which are beyond the control of the Company, including any expropriation of the Company’s operations, floods and other natural disasters, events related to asbestos-related claims, and the other risk factors discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and any subsequently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. It is not possible to foresee or identify all such factors. Any forward looking statements in this document are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances. Forward looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from expectations. While the Company continually reviews trends and uncertainties affecting the Company’s results of operations and financial condition, the Company does not assume any obligation to update or supplement any particular forward looking statements contained in this document.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.

 

There have been no material changes in market risk at September 30, 2013 from those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

Item 4.         Controls and Procedures.

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.  Also, the Company has investments in certain unconsolidated entities.  As the Company does not control or manage these entities, its disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those maintained with respect to its consolidated subsidiaries.

 

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2013.

 

Management concluded that the Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2012. As required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of any change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. The Company is undertaking the phased implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning software system. The phased implementation has commenced in the South America segment during 2013. The Company believes it is maintaining and monitoring appropriate internal controls during the implementation period and further believes that its internal control environment will be enhanced as a result of this implementation. There have been no other changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
