First Quarter Results
Net sales of $2,287 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013
increased $19 million compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
Segment income of $209 million increased $16 million or 8% over the
prior year quarter.
RockTenn's restructuring and other costs and operating losses and
transition costs due to plant closures were $0.17 per diluted share
after-tax, for the first quarter of fiscal 2013. These costs consisted
primarily of $9 million of pre-tax facility closure charges and $7
million of pre-tax integration costs.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer's Statement
RockTenn Chairman and Chief Executive Officer James A. Rubright stated,
“Our 14% adjusted earnings per share increase over the prior year
quarter reflects the progress we've made in the operating performance of
our Corrugated Packaging segment and higher pricing from the fall 2012
containerboard and box price increases. Corrugated Packaging segment
EBITDA margins increased to 15.4% for the quarter.”
Segment ResultsContainerboard and Paperboard Tons Shipped
Corrugated Packaging segment tons shipped declined approximately 16,000
tons over the prior year quarter as we took two major maintenance
outages and built approximately 74,000 tons of inventory in the current
year quarter. Consumer Packaging segment paperboard and pulp shipments
of approximately 346,000 tons increased 4% percent over the prior year
quarter primarily on stronger demand for recycled paperboard.
Corrugated Packaging Segment
Corrugated Packaging segment net sales increased $67 million to $1,590
million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the prior year
quarter and segment income increased $29 million to $138 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the prior year quarter. The
increased sales and earnings are primarily related to higher selling
prices and lower recycled fiber and energy costs partially offset by $16
million of incremental maintenance outage expense and higher virgin
fiber and chemical costs. Corrugated Packaging segment EBITDA margin was
15.4% for the first quarter of fiscal 2013.
Consumer Packaging Segment
Consumer Packaging segment net sales decreased $9 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the prior year quarter due primarily
to lower selling prices. Segment income was $67 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to $80 million in the prior year quarter
due primarily to lower selling prices, and to lower income from
promotional displays that resulted primarily from higher containerboard
prices. Consumer Packaging segment EBITDA margin was 14.9% for the first
quarter of fiscal 2013.
Recycling Segment
Recycling segment net sales decreased $78 million over the prior year
first quarter to $252 million primarily as a result of lower selling
prices and volume. Segment income increased $1 million to $4 million in
the first quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the prior year quarter
primarily due to cost structure improvements. Recycling segment EBITDA
margin was 3.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2013.
Cash Provided From Operating, Financing and
Investing Activities
Cash provided by operations was $278 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 2013, after pension funding in excess of expense of $13 million.
We reduced net debt (as defined) by $155 million in the December quarter
to $3.22 billion and our Leverage Ratio (as defined) was 2.77 times.
Total debt was $3.25 billion at December 31, 2012. We invested $92
million in capital expenditures and returned $32 million in dividends to
our shareholders, including the acceleration of the February 2013
dividend.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations
We have included financial measures that are not prepared in accordance
with GAAP. Any analysis of non-GAAP financial measures should be used
only in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP.
Below, we define the non-GAAP financial measures, provide a
reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly
comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and
discuss the reasons that we believe this information is useful to
management and may be useful to investors. These measures may differ
from similarly captioned measures of other companies in our industry.
The following non-GAAP measures are not intended to be substitutes for
GAAP financial measures and should not be used as such.
Net Debt
We have defined the non-GAAP measure “net debt” to include the aggregate
debt obligations reflected in our consolidated balance sheet, less the
hedge adjustments resulting from fair value interest rate derivatives or
swaps and the balance of our cash and cash equivalents.
Our management uses net debt, along with other factors, to evaluate our
financial condition. We believe that net debt is an appropriate
supplemental measure of financial condition because it provides a more
complete understanding of our financial condition before the impact of
our decisions regarding the appropriate use of cash and liquid
investments. Set forth below is a reconciliation of net debt to the most
directly comparable GAAP measures, Current portion of debt and Long-term
debt due after one year for the current quarter and the prior quarter.

Segment EBITDA Margins
Our management uses “Segment EBITDA Margins”, along with other factors,
to evaluate our segment performance against our peers. Management
believes that investors also use this measure to evaluate our
performance relative to our peers.

most directly comparable GAAP measures, Segment Income and Segment Sales

Credit Agreement EBITDA and Total Funded Debt
“Credit Agreement EBITDA” is calculated in accordance with the
definition contained in our Credit Facility. Credit Agreement EBITDA is
generally defined as Consolidated Net Income plus: consolidated interest
expense, income taxes of the consolidated companies determined in
accordance with GAAP, depreciation and amortization expense of the
consolidated companies determined in accordance with GAAP, loss on
extinguishment of debt and financing fees, certain non-cash and cash
charges incurred, including certain restructuring and other costs,
acquisition and integration costs, charges and expenses associated with
the write-up of inventory acquired and other items.
“Total Funded Debt” is calculated in accordance with the definition
contained in our Credit Facility. Total Funded Debt is generally defined
as aggregate debt obligations reflected in our balance sheet, less the
hedge adjustments resulting from terminated and existing fair value
interest rate derivatives or swaps, less certain cash, plus additional
outstanding letters of credit not already reflected in debt and certain
guarantees.
Our management uses Credit Agreement EBITDA and Total Funded Debt to
evaluate compliance with our debt covenants and borrowing capacity
available under our Credit Facility. Management believes that investors
also use these measures to evaluate our compliance with our debt
covenants and available borrowing capacity. Borrowing capacity is
dependent upon, in addition to other measures, the “Credit Agreement
Debt/EBITDA ratio” or the “Leverage Ratio,” which is defined as Total
Funded Debt divided by Credit Agreement EBITDA. As of the December 31,
2012 calculation, our Leverage Ratio was 2.77 times. Our maximum
permitted Leverage Ratio under the Credit Facility at December 31, 2012
was 3.75 times.

twelve months ended December 31, 2012, to the most directly comparable

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share
We also use the non-GAAP measures “adjusted net income” and “adjusted
earnings per diluted share”. Management believes these non-GAAP
financial measures provide our board of directors, investors, potential
investors, securities analysts and others with useful information to
evaluate the performance of the Company because it excludes
restructuring and other costs, net, and other specific items that
management believes are not indicative of the ongoing operating results
of the business. The Company and our board of directors use this
information to evaluate the Company's performance relative to other
periods. We believe that the most directly comparable GAAP measures to
adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share are Net
income attributable to Rock-Tenn Company shareholders and Earnings per
Diluted Share, respectively. Set forth at the beginning of this press
release is a reconciliation of adjusted earnings per diluted share to
Earnings per diluted share. Set forth below is a reconciliation of
adjusted net income to Net income attributable to Rock-Tenn Company
shareholders:
