David B.

We continue to focus on opportunities within our control to improve our performance, including Greif Business System cost-savings initiatives. Restructuring plans are being accelerated during the remainder of fiscal 2014 to address underperforming assets in addition to our ongoing evaluation of divestment opportunities. We are committed to improving our long-term performance and taking actions necessary to achieve this goal.”

Consolidated Results

Net sales were $1,034.4 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $1,008.6 million for the first quarter of 2013. The 2.6 percent increase in net sales was primarily due to the impact of a 3.7 percent increase in selling prices partially offset by a negative 1.1 percent impact from foreign currency translation. Selling prices for rigid industrial packaging products increased in North America primarily as a result of the pass-through of higher raw material costs. Selling prices for paper packaging products were higher due to a containerboard price increase that was realized in the third quarter of 2013. Consolidated volumes were flat compared with the first quarter of 2013.

Gross profit was $186.6 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $186.7 million for the first quarter of 2013. Improvements in the Paper Packaging and Flexible Products & Services segments were offset by declines in the Rigid Industrial Packaging & Services and Land Management segments. Gross profit decreased to 18.0 percent of net sales for the first quarter of 2014 from 18.5 percent of net sales for the first quarter of 2013 primarily due to adverse weather related conditions in North America.

SG&A expenses decreased 0.9 percent to $121.5 million for the first quarter of 2014 from $122.6 million for the first quarter of 2013 primarily related to lower pension costs. SG&A expenses were 11.8 percent of net sales for the first quarter of 2014 compared with 12.2 percent of net sales for the first quarter of 2013.

Restructuring charges were $2.6 million for the first quarter of 2014 and were primarily related to consolidation of European and Asia Pacific operations in the Rigid Industrial Packaging & Services segment. For the first quarter of 2013, restructuring charges of $1.3 million were primarily related to Asia Pacific operations in the Rigid Industrial Packaging & Services segment.

Operating profit was $72.0 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $64.0 million for the first quarter of 2013. The $8.0 million increase was principally due to a $7.5 million increase in Land Management, a $2.3 million increase in Paper Packaging, a $0.2 million increase in Flexible Products & Services and a $2.0 million decrease in Rigid Industrial Packaging & Services. Included in operating profit for the first quarter of 2014 were $5.6 million of net gains from special items compared with $1.8 million of net losses from special items for the first quarter of 2013. Operating profit before special items was $66.4 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $65.8 million for the first quarter of 2013 with the $0.6 million or 0.9 percent increase due to timberland gains.

Other expense, net, was $4.6 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $3.1 million for the first quarter of 2013. The $1.5 million increase from the first quarter of 2013 was primarily due to larger foreign currency losses in the first quarter of 2014 in a number of emerging markets.

EBITDA was $106.5 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $100.4 million for the first quarter of 2013. The $6.1 million increase was primarily due to timberland gains and record first quarter results from our Paper Packaging segment. EBITDA before special items was $100.9 million for the first quarter of 2014 versus $102.2 million for the first quarter of 2013. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $39.1 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $39.5 million for the first quarter of 2013.

Cash used in operating activities was $62.8 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with cash used in operating activities of $68.8 million for the first quarter of 2013. Free cash flow5 was negative $90.5 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with free cash flow of negative $96.3 million for the first quarter of 2013. The decrease of free cash flow was due to higher capital expenditures and timberland purchases in the first quarter of 2014 compared with the first quarter of 2013.

 

5  Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures and timberland purchases plus proceeds from sales of properties, plants, equipment, timberland and other assets.

Interest expense, net, was $20.4 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $21.6 million for the first quarter of 2013. The slight decrease is a result of lower average interest rates due to refinancing activities in certain countries offset by higher average debt outstanding primarily resulting from two acquisitions completed in the first quarter of 2014.

There was a non-cash debt extinguishment charge of $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2013 related to the completion of the company’s amended and restated senior secured credit agreement.

Income tax expense was $16.5 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $13.2 million for the first quarter of 2013. The company’s effective tax rate was 35.1 percent for the first quarter of 2014 compared with 34.7 percent for the first quarter of 2013. The higher 2014 effective tax rate reflects the impact of a shift in global earnings mix to countries with higher tax rates. Cash tax payments for the first quarter of 2014 totaled $16.9 million.

Net income attributable to Greif, Inc. was $29.5 million, or $0.51 per diluted Class A share and $0.75 per diluted Class B share, for the first quarter of 2014 versus net income attributable to Greif, Inc. of $23.6 million, or $0.41 per diluted Class A share and $0.60 per diluted Class B share, for the first quarter of 2013.

Segment Results

Rigid Industrial Packaging & Services

Net sales were $712.3 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $704.4 million for the first quarter of 2013. Selling prices increased 3.7 percent primarily from the pass-through of higher resin costs to customers, changes in product mix and a slight volume improvement in Europe. The impact of foreign currency translation was a negative 1.6 percent compared with the first quarter of 2013.

Gross profit was $119.5 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $119.7 million for the first quarter of 2013. Gross profit margin decreased to 16.8 percent for the first quarter of 2014 from 17.0 percent for the first quarter of 2013. The decrease was primarily due to adverse weather related conditions in North America during the last month of the quarter, resulting in temporary production losses due to shutdowns and higher energy and transportation costs.

Operating profit was $29.5 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $31.5 million for the first quarter of 2013. The $2.0 million decrease was due to slightly lower volumes and higher costs associated with adverse weather related conditions partially offset by higher selling prices. Operating profit before special items was $32.5 million for the first quarter of 2014 versus $33.2 million for the first quarter of 2013.

Restructuring charges for the first quarter of 2014 were $2.5 million primarily related to the consolidation of certain European and Asia Pacific operations. Restructuring charges for the first quarter of 2013 were $1.2 million related to the consolidation of certain Asia Pacific operations. There were $0.5 million of acquisition-related costs for both the first quarter of 2014 and 2013.

EBITDA was $52.2 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $54.6 million for the first quarter of 2013. This decrease was due to the same factors that impacted the decrease in operating profit. EBITDA before special items was $55.2 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $56.3 million for the first quarter of 2013. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $27.4 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $26.9 million for the first quarter of 2013.

Paper Packaging

Net sales were $202.7 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $184.2 million for the first quarter of 2013. Selling prices increased 6.9 percent due to a containerboard price increase realized in the third quarter of 2013. Volumes improved 3.1 percent in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same period last year.

Gross profit increased 4.6 percent to $43.3 million for the first quarter of 2014 from $41.4 million for the first quarter of 2013. Gross profit margin decreased to 21.4 percent for the first quarter of 2014 from 22.5 percent for the first quarter of 2013. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to higher energy and input costs associated with adverse weather related conditions, partially offset by higher volumes and higher selling prices.


Operating profit and operating profit before special items increased 8.3 percent to a first quarter record of $30.0 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $27.7 million for the first quarter of 2013 due to higher selling prices and higher volumes partially offset by higher energy and input costs associated with adverse weather related conditions.

 

Note: A reconciliation of the differences between all non-GAAP financial measures used in this release with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the financial schedules that are a part of this release.

EBITDA and EBITDA before special items increased to $38.0 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $36.7 million for the first quarter of 2013. This increase was due to the same factors that impacted the segment’s operating profit. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $7.2 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $8.0 million for the first quarter of 2013.

Flexible Products & Services

Net sales were $113.2 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $111.4 million for the first quarter of 2013. Higher selling prices and volume increases in polywoven products were partially offset by lower multiwall volumes, which were a first quarter record in 2013. The impact of foreign currency translation was a positive 0.5 percent compared with the first quarter of 2013.

Gross profit was $21.8 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $20.9 million for the first quarter of 2013. Gross profit margin increased to 19.3 percent for the first quarter of 2014 from 18.8 percent for the first quarter of 2013 primarily due to a favorable change in product mix.

Operating profit was $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $0.6 million for the first quarter of 2013. Operating profit before special items increased to $0.9 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $0.7 million for the first quarter of 2013 due to the favorable change in product mix.

EBITDA was $3.8 million for the first quarters of 2014 and 2013. EBITDA before special items was $3.9 million for both the first quarter of 2014 and 2013. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $3.7 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $3.5 million for the first quarter of 2013.

Land Management

Net sales were $6.2 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $8.6 million for the first quarter of 2013. The 27.9 percent decrease was due to lower planned sales of timber in the first quarter of 2014.

Operating profit increased to $11.7 million for the first quarter of 2014 from $4.2 million for the first quarter of 2013 primarily due to an $8.7 million gain on the disposal of timberland in the second phase of an approximately $90 million multi-phase sales contract. The company anticipates closing three additional phases of this contract over the next several quarters. Operating profit before special items was $3.0 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $4.2 million for the first quarter of 2013. The $1.2 million decrease was primarily due to lower planned sales of timber. Special use property disposals included in operating profit were $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2013.

EBITDA was $12.5 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $5.3 million for the first quarter of 2013. This increase was mostly due to the $8.7 million timberland gain. EBITDA before special items was $3.8 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $5.3 million for the first quarter of 2013 due to lower planned sales of timber. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2013.

Other Financial Information

Long-term debt was $1,345.8 million at Jan. 31, 2014 compared with $1,207.2 million at Oct. 31, 2013 and $1,305.2 million at Jan. 31, 2013.


Capital expenditures were $34.5 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $28.5 million for first quarter of 2013. There were $8.0 million in timberland purchases for the first quarter of 2014 compared with none for the first quarter of 2013. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $39.1 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $39.5 million for the first quarter of 2013.

 

Note: A reconciliation of the differences between all non-GAAP financial measures used in this release with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the financial schedules that are a part of this release.

On Feb. 24, 2014, the Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.42 per share of Class A Common Stock and $0.63 per share of Class B Common Stock. These dividends are payable on Apr. 1, 2014, to stockholders of record at close of business on Mar. 18, 2014.

Company Outlook

Slow motion global economic recovery is anticipated to continue during fiscal 2014 resulting in moderate sales volume improvement and slightly higher raw material costs. Restructuring charges of approximately $25 million are planned with particular emphasis on operations that have not participated thus far in the economic recovery or are underperforming. Opportunities for additional efficiency improvements through the Greif Business System have been identified and are being pursued. Based on these factors, fiscal 2014 EBITDA guidance remains at $490 million to $540 million, which equates to Class A earnings per share of approximately $2.60 to $3.15 and excludes scheduled timberland gains of approximately $20 million or $0.20 per Class A share.
