Information Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements regarding the expectations of Graphic Packaging Holding Company (GPHC and,
together with its subsidiaries, the Company), including, but not limited to, statements regarding

depreciation and amortization, interest expense and pension plan contributions in
this report constitute forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are based on currently available operating, financial and
competitive information and are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from the Companys historical experience and its present expectations.
These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the Companys substantial amount of
debt, inflation of and volatility in raw material and energy costs, continuing pressure for lower
cost products, the Companys ability to implement its business strategies, including productivity
initiatives and cost reduction plans, currency movements and other risks of conducting business

GRAPHIC PACKAGING HOLDING COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
Graphic Packaging Holding Company (GPHC and, together with its subsidiaries, the Company) is a
leading provider of packaging solutions for a wide variety of products to multinational food,
beverage and other consumer products companies. The Company is the largest North American producer
of folding cartons and holds a leading market position in coated unbleached kraft paperboard,
coated-recycled boxboard and multi-wall bags. The Companys customers include some of the most
widely recognized companies in the world. The Company strives to provide its customers with
packaging solutions designed to deliver marketing and performance benefits at a competitive cost by
capitalizing on its low-cost paperboard mills and converting plants, proprietary carton and
packaging designs, and its commitment to customer service.
GPHC became a new publicly-traded parent company when, on March 10, 2008, the businesses of Graphic
Packaging Corporation (GPC) and Altivity Packaging, LLC (Altivity) were combined through a
series of transactions. All of the equity interests in Altivitys parent company were contributed
to GPHC in exchange for 139,445,038 shares of GPHCs common stock, par value $0.01. Stockholders of
GPC received one share of GPHC common stock for each share of GPC common stock held immediately
prior to the transactions. Subsequently, all of the equity interests in Altivitys parent company
were contributed to GPHCs primary operating company, Graphic Packaging International, Inc.
(GPII). Together, these transactions are referred to herein as the Altivity Transaction.
For accounting purposes, the Altivity Transaction was accounted for as a purchase by GPHC under the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 141, Business Combinations, (SFAS 141). Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets
and liabilities of Altivity were recorded, as of the date of the closing of the Altivity
Transaction, at their respective fair values and added to those of GPII. The difference between the
purchase price and the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Altivity was
recorded as goodwill. The historical financial statements of GPC became the historical financial
statements of GPHC. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows
for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 includes six months and approximately three weeks of
Altivitys results and nine months of GPCs results.
On March 5, 2008, the United States Department of Justice issued a Consent Decree that required the
divesture of two mills, as a condition of the Altivity Transaction. On July 8, 2008, GPII signed an
agreement with an affiliate of Sun Capital Partners, Inc. to sell two coated-recycled boxboard
mills as required by the Consent Decree. The sale of the mills was completed on September 17, 2008.
The mills that were sold are located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and in Wabash, Indiana.
GPHC and GPC conduct no significant business and have no independent assets or operations other
than GPHCs ownership of all of GPCs outstanding common stock and GPCs ownership of all of GPIIs
outstanding common stock.
Basis of Presentation
The Companys Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all subsidiaries in which the
Company has the ability to exercise direct or indirect control over operating and financial
policies. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
In the Companys opinion, the accompanying financial statements contain all normal recurring
adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash
flows for the interim periods. The Companys year end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was
derived from audited financial statements. The accompanying unaudited financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and do
not include all the information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should
be read in conjunction with GPHCs Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008,
as amended (2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K). In addition, the preparation of the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates and changes
in these statements are recorded as known.
8
We have evaluated subsequent events for disclosure through November 5, 2009, the date of issuance
of the Companys financial statements.
For a summary of the Companys significant accounting policies, please refer to GPHCs 2008 Annual
Report on Form 10-K.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles topic of
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM (the FASB Codification). This
accounting standard establishes the FASB Codification as the source of authoritative accounting
principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of
financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S.
GAAP). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under
authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC
registrants. The FASB Codification was developed to organize U.S. GAAP pronouncements by topic so
that users can more easily access authoritative accounting guidance. All guidance contained in the
FASB Codification carries an equal level of authority. The FASB Codification superseded all
existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC
accounting literature not included in the FASB Codification is non-authoritative. References made
to FASB guidance throughout this document have been updated, where applicable, for the FASB
Codification. The exception to such referencing is with certain grandfathered accounting standards
which continue to be referenced by the Company as such standards remain authoritative for past
transactions that have an ongoing effect in the Companys financial statements.
Effective in the second quarter of 2009, the Company adopted new guidance as required by the
Subsequent Events topic of the FASB Codification. This guidance established general standards of
accounting for, and disclosure of, events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the
financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The Company is required to
disclose the date through which it has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date,
that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were
available to be issued. The adoption did not have an impact on the Companys financial position,
results of operations or cash flows. See Note 1 Basis of Presentation for disclosure.
Effective in the second quarter of 2009, the Company implemented new disclosures as required by the
Financial Instruments topic of the FASB Codification. Under the new guidance, fair value
disclosures are required on a quarterly basis for any financial instruments that are not currently
reflected on the balance sheet at fair value. Previous guidance required only annual disclosure of
the fair value of these assets and liabilities. See Note 9 Financial Instruments and Fair Value
Measurement.
Effective in the first quarter of 2009, the Company implemented new disclosure enhancements as
required by the Derivatives and Hedging topic of the FASB Codification. The requirements include
the disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular
format. See Note 9 Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurement.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted amended guidance as required by the Consolidation
topic of the FASB Codification. The new guidance concerns certain consolidation procedures and
establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and
for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The adoption did not have a material impact on the
Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Revised guidance as required by the Business Combinations topic of the FASB Codification was
effective for the Company January 1, 2009. The amended guidance establishes principles and
requirements for how the acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the
identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the
acquiree; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from
a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial
statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. Additional
guidance addresses application issues raised by preparers, auditors, and members of the legal
profession on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and
disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. The
Company will assess the impact of adoption when a business combination arises.
Revised guidance as required by the Intangibles Goodwill and Other topic of the FASB
Codification was effective for the Company January 1, 2009. The guidance amends the factors that
should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful
life of a recognized intangible asset other than goodwill. This amendment was issued to improve
the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset other than goodwill under
the Intangibles Goodwill and Other topic of the FASB Codification and the period of expected
cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under the Business Combinations topic of the
FASB Codification and other U.S. GAAP. The adoption did not have a material impact on the
Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
9
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the fair value guidance integrated into the Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of the FASB Codification in regards to financial assets
and financial liabilities. The FASB delayed the effective date of the guidance related to
nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at
fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), which the Company
subsequently adopted as of January 1, 2009. The FASBs guidance establishes a common definition
for fair value to be applied to U.S. GAAP requiring use of fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value and expands disclosures about such fair value measurements. The adoption did
not have a material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash
flows. See Note 9 Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurement.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In August 2009, the FASB issued new guidance supplementing and amending the Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures topic of the FASB Codification in regards to measuring liabilities at fair value.
The guidance clarifies that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the
identical liability is not available, the fair value of the liability must be measured using the
quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, the quoted prices for similar
liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets, or another valuation technique, such as a
present value technique, that is consistent with the principles of the Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures topic of the FASB Codification. The guidance also clarifies that no valuation
adjustments are necessary regarding the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of
the liability, and will be effective for the Company in the fourth quarter of 2009. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its financial position, results of operations and
cash flows.
In December 2008, the FASB announced the requirement of additional disclosures regarding plan
assets of defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The additional disclosures
required by the CompensationRetirement Benefits topic of the FASB Codification include a
description of investment policies and strategies, the fair value of each major category of plan
assets, the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets, the
effect of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs on changes in plan assets,
and the significant concentrations of risk within plan assets. These disclosure requirements will
be effective for the year ended December 31, 2009.
NOTE 2 ALTIVITY TRANSACTION
On March 10, 2008, the businesses of GPC and Altivity were combined in a transaction accounted for
under SFAS 141. Altivity was the largest privately-held producer of folding cartons and a market
leader in all of its major businesses, including coated-recycled boxboard, multi-wall bag and
specialty packaging. Altivity operated recycled boxboard mills and consumer product packaging
facilities in North America.
The Company determined that the relative outstanding share ownership, voting rights, and the
composition of the governing body and senior management positions required GPC to be the acquiring
entity for accounting purposes, resulting in the historical financial statements of GPC becoming
the historical financial statements of the Company. Under the purchase method of accounting, the
assets and liabilities of Altivity were recorded, as of the date of the closing of the Altivity
Transaction, at their respective fair values and added to those of GPII. The purchase price for the
acquisition was based on the average closing price of the Companys common stock on the NYSE for
two days prior to, including, and two days subsequent to the public announcement of the transaction
of $5.47 per share and capitalized transaction costs. The purchase price has been allocated to the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values at the date of the
Altivity Transaction. The final purchase price allocation is as follows:

The Company has finalized plans to close certain facilities of the acquired company and has
established restructuring reserves that are considered liabilities assumed in the Altivity
Transaction. See Note 3 Restructuring Reserves.
The excess of the purchase price over the aggregate fair value of net assets acquired was allocated
to goodwill. Management believes that the portion of the purchase price attributable to goodwill
represents benefits expected as a result of the acquisition, including
i) significant cost-reduction opportunities and synergies by combining sales and support functions
and eliminating duplicate corporate functions, ii) diversification of the Companys product line
and new opportunities for top-line growth, which will allow the Company to compete effectively in
the global packaging market, and iii) expansion of the Companys manufacturing system to include
expanded folding carton converting operations, multi-wall bag facilities, flexible packaging
facilities, ink manufacturing facilities and label facilities.

remaining contractual period for the non-compete, lease and supply contracts. Amortization expense
is estimated to be approximately $34 million for each of the next five years.
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations assume that the acquisition of
Altivity occurred as of the beginning of the periods presented and excludes the 2008 results for
the two coated-recycled board mills divested in September 2008 and charges associated with the
Altivity Transaction. This pro forma data is based on historical information and does not

NOTE 3 RESTRUCTURING RESERVES
In conjunction with the Altivity Transaction, the Company formulated plans to close or exit certain
production facilities of Altivity. Restructuring reserves were established for employee severance
and benefit payments, facility closure costs and equipment removal. These restructuring reserves
were established in accordance with the requirement of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 95-3,
Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination, and were considered
liabilities assumed in the Altivity Transaction. The Company has announced the closure of seven
Altivity facilities and has committed to two additional plant closures. The restructuring
activities are expected to be substantially completed by December 31, 2010.
In addition, as of September 30, 2009, the Company has announced the closure of a GPC facility and
a multi-wall bag facility. Termination benefits and retention bonuses related to workforce
reduction were accrued in accordance with the Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations topic of the FASB
Codification. Termination benefits recorded in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2009
totaled $1.3 million and $4.6 million, respectively. The amount of termination benefits recorded in
the third quarter and the first nine months of 2008 was $0.8 million. These termination benefits
are included in Selling, General and Administrative costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statements
of Operations.
The portion of the restructuring reserves expected to be settled within one year is included in
Other Accrued Liabilities on the Companys Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The long-term
portion of these reserves is included in Other Noncurrent Liabilities on the Companys Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 6 DEBT
On May 16, 2007, the Company entered into a $1,355 million Credit Agreement (Credit Agreement).
The Credit Agreement provided for a $300 million revolving credit facility due on May 16, 2013 and
a $1,055 million term loan facility due on May 16, 2014. The revolving credit facility bears
interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 225 basis points and the term loan facility bears interest at a
rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis points. The Companys obligations under the Credit Agreement are
collateralized by substantially all of the Companys domestic assets.
On March 10, 2008, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 to the Credit
Agreement. Under such amendments, the Company obtained (i) a new $1,200 million term loan facility,
due on May 16, 2014, to refinance the outstanding amounts under Altivitys parent companys
existing first and second lien credit facilities and (ii) an increase to the Companys existing
revolving credit facility to $400 million due on May 16, 2013. The Companys existing $1,055
million term loan facility remains in place. The new term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 275
basis points. The Companys weighted average interest rate on senior secured term debt will equal
approximately LIBOR plus 237.5 basis points. In connection with the new term loan and revolver
increase, the Company recorded approximately $16 million of deferred financing costs.
On June 16, 2009, the Company completed the issuance and sale of $245 million aggregate principal
amount of its 9.5% Senior Notes due in 2017. The proceeds from the offering were $238.4 million
after deducting the original issue discount. These proceeds were used to retire, through a tender
offer, $225 million aggregate principal amount of the 8.5% Senior Notes due in 2011 and to pay
applicable early tender premiums and offering expenses.
On August 5, 2009, the Company announced that it would redeem and prepay approximately $20 million
in aggregate principal and interest of the 8.5% Senior Notes due in 2011. The Credit Agreement
contains, among other exceptions to the restrictions on prepayment of the Senior Notes, a $20
million basket for such redemptions. The redemption occurred on September 4, 2009 (the Redemption
Date), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, plus
accrued and unpaid interest up to,
but not including the Redemption Date. In total, $19.9 million aggregate principal amount of the
8.5% Senior Notes due in 2011 was paid in cash on September 4, 2009.
On August 20, 2009, the Company completed the issuance and sale of an additional $180 million of
9.5% Senior Notes due in 2017. The proceeds from the offering were $185.4 million, including a
premium of $5.4 million. These proceeds were used to redeem the
13
remaining $180.1 million aggregate principal amount of the 8.5% Senior Notes due in 2011, to pay
accrued interest on these existing notes, and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with
the offering and redemption.
In connection with the above retirements, the Company recorded charges for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2009 of $1.0 million and $7.1 million, respectively. The charges are
reflected as Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt in the Companys Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Operations, and consist of unamortized deferred financing costs and, in regards to
the June retirement, the early tender premiums associated with the 8.5% Senior Notes due in 2011.
In connection with the 9.5% Senior Notes due in 2017, the Company recorded deferred financing costs
of approximately $4 million and $10 million, respectively, for the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 2009. These costs will be amortized using the effective interest method over
the term of the 9.5% Senior Notes due in 2017.
Long-Term Debt consisted of the following:

Note:
(a) |
|
In accordance with its debt agreements, the Companys availability under its Revolving Credit
Facility has been reduced by the amount of standby letters of credit issued of $36.1 million
as of September 30, 2009. These letters of credit are used as security against the Companys
self-insurance obligations and workers compensation obligations. These letters of credit
expire at various dates through 2010 unless extended. |
The Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the 8.5% Senior Notes, the 9.5% Senior Notes and
the Senior Subordinated Notes (the Notes) limit the Companys ability to incur additional
indebtedness. Additional covenants contained in the Credit Agreement, among other things, restrict
the ability of the Company to dispose of assets, incur guarantee obligations, prepay other
indebtedness, make dividend and other restricted payments, create liens, make equity or debt
investments, make acquisitions, modify terms of indentures under which the Notes are issued, engage
in mergers or consolidations, change the business conducted by the Company and its subsidiaries,
and engage in certain transactions with affiliates. Such restrictions, together with the highly
leveraged nature of the Company, could limit the Companys ability to
respond to changing market conditions, fund its capital spending program, provide for unexpected
capital investments or take advantage of business opportunities.
As of September 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenant in the Credit
Agreement. The Companys ability to comply in future periods with the financial covenant in the
Credit Agreement will depend on its ongoing financial and operating performance, which in turn will
be subject to economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of
14
which are beyond the Companys control, and will be substantially dependent on the selling prices
for the Companys products, raw material and energy costs, and the Companys ability to
successfully implement its overall business strategies, and meet its profitability objectives. If a
violation of the financial covenant or any of the other covenants occurred, the Company would
attempt to obtain a waiver or an amendment from its lenders, although no assurance can be given
that the Company would be successful in this regard. The Credit Agreement and the indentures
governing the Notes have certain cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions; failure to comply
with these covenants in any agreement could result in a violation of such agreement which could, in
turn, lead to violations of other agreements pursuant to such cross-default or cross-acceleration
provisions. If an event of default occurs, the lenders are entitled to declare all amounts owed to
be due and payable immediately.
NOTE 7 STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS
GPC had eight equity compensation plans, all of which were assumed by the Company pursuant to the
Altivity Transaction. The Companys only plan pursuant to which new grants are made, as of
September 30, 2009, is the Graphic Packaging Holding Company Amended and Restated 2004 Stock and
Incentive Compensation Plan (2004 Plan). Under the 2004 Plan, the Company may grant stock
options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other types of
stock-based awards to employees and directors of the Company. Stock options and other awards
granted under all of the Companys plans generally vest and expire in accordance with terms
established at the time of grant.
Stock Options
GPC and the Company have not granted any stock options since 2004. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, no stock options were exercised and 648,795 stock options were cancelled. The
total number of shares subject to options at September 30, 2009 was 6,467,092 at a weighted average
exercise price of $7.27.
Stock Awards, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
The Companys 2004 Plan permits the grant of stock awards, restricted stock and restricted stock
units (RSUs). All RSUs vest and become payable in one to five years from date of grant. Upon
vesting, RSUs are payable in cash and shares, based on the proportion set forth in the grant
agreements.
Data concerning RSUs and stock awards granted in the first nine months of 2009 is as follows:

The value of the RSUs and stock awards is based on the market value of the Companys common stock
on the date of grant. The RSUs payable in cash are subject to variable accounting and marked to
market accordingly. The RSUs payable in cash are recorded as liabilities, whereas the RSUs payable
in shares are recorded in Shareholders Equity.
During the first three months of 2009, the Company also issued 15,607 shares of phantom stock,
representing compensation earned during 2008 and deferred by one of its directors. These shares of
phantom stock are fully vested on the date of grant and are payable upon termination of service as
a director. The Company also has an obligation to issue 48,653 shares in payment of employee
deferred compensation.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, $3.1 million and $6.8 million were
charged to compensation expense for RSUs and stock awards, respectively. Of the amount charged to
expense during
the first nine months of 2008, $7.1 million was attributable to the accelerated vesting of RSUs and
other payments triggered by the change of control resulting from the Altivity Transaction on March
10, 2008.
The unrecognized expense as of September 30, 2009 is approximately $12 million and is expected to
be recognized over a weighted average period of two years.

plans provide medical and life insurance coverage to eligible salaried and hourly retired employees
and their dependents. Currently, the plans are closed to newly-hired salaried and non-union hourly
employees.
The Companys funding policies with respect to its North American pension plans are to contribute
funds to trusts as necessary to at least meet the minimum funding requirements. Plan assets are
primarily invested in equities and fixed income securities.
Pension and Postretirement Expense
The pension and postretirement expenses related to the North American plans consisted of the

The Company made contributions of $33.3 million and $54.9 million to its pension plans during the
first nine months of 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company expects to make contributions of $40
million to $60 million for the full year 2009. During 2008, the Company made $56.8 million of
contributions to its pension plans.
The Company made postretirement health care benefit payments of $2.0 million and $1.6 million
during the first nine months of 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company estimates its
postretirement health care benefit payments for the full year 2009 to be approximately $4 million.
During 2008, the Company made postretirement health care benefit payments of $2.7 million.
NOTE 9 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The Company enters into derivative instruments for risk management purposes only, including
derivatives designated as hedging instruments under the Derivatives and Hedging topic of the FASB
Codification and those not designated as hedging instruments under this guidance. The Company uses
interest rate swaps, natural gas swap contracts, and forward exchange contracts.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risks on future interest payments
caused by interest rate changes on its variable rate term loan facility. At September 30, 2009, the
Company had interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount of $2.2 billion, including $400
million in forward starting interest rate swaps, which expire on various dates from 2010 to 2012
under which the Company will pay fixed rates of 2.24% to 5.06% and receive the three-month LIBOR
rates. At December 31, 2008, the Company had interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount
of $1.6 billion, which expire on various dates from 2009 to 2012 under which the Company will pay
fixed rates of 2.37% to 5.06% and receive the three-month LIBOR rates.
These derivative instruments are designated as cash flow hedges and, to the extent they are
effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows, changes in the derivatives fair
value are not included in current earnings but are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive
Loss. These changes in fair value will subsequently be reclassified into earnings as a component of
Interest Expense as interest is incurred on amounts outstanding under the term loan facility.
Ineffectiveness measured in the hedging relationship is recorded in earnings in the period it
occurs.
16
During the first nine months of 2009, there were minimal amounts of ineffectiveness related to
changes in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements. Additionally, there were no amounts
excluded from the measure of effectiveness.
Commodity Risk
To manage risks associated with future variability in cash flows and price risk attributable to
certain commodity purchases, the Company enters into natural gas swap contracts to hedge prices for
a designated percentage of its expected natural gas usage. Such contracts are designated as cash
flow hedges. As of September 30, 2009, the Company had entered into natural gas swap contracts to
hedge prices for approximately 73% and 33% of its expected natural gas usage for the remainder of
2009 and 2010, respectively. When a contract matures, the resulting gain or loss is reclassified
into Cost of Sales concurrently with the recognition of the commodity purchased. The ineffective
portion of the swap contracts change in fair value, if any, would be recognized immediately in
earnings.
During the first nine months of 2009, there were minimal amounts of ineffectiveness related to
changes in the fair value of natural gas swap contracts. Additionally, there were no amounts
excluded from the measure of effectiveness.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to manage risks associated with future
variability in cash flows resulting from anticipated foreign currency transactions that may be
adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. Such contracts are designated as cash flow hedges.
Gains/losses, if any, related to these contracts are recognized in Other (Income) Expense, Net when
the anticipated transaction affects income.
At September 30, 2009, forward contracts existed that expire on various dates throughout 2009 and
2010. At December 31, 2008, forward exchange contracts existed that expire on various dates
throughout 2009. Those purchased forward exchange contracts outstanding at September 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, when measured in U.S. dollars at exchange rates at September 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, respectively, had notional amounts totaling $52.4 million and $80.8 million.
No amounts were reclassified to earnings during the first nine months of 2009 in connection with
forecasted transactions that were no longer considered probable of occurring, and there was no
ineffectiveness related to changes in the fair value of foreign currency forward contracts.
Additionally, there were no amounts excluded from the measure of effectiveness.
Derivatives not Designated as Hedges
The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to effectively hedge substantially all of
accounts receivable resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies in order to
manage risks associated with foreign currency transactions adversely affected by changes in
exchange rates. At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, multiple foreign currency forward
exchange contracts existed, with maturities ranging up to three months. Those foreign currency
exchange contracts outstanding at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, when aggregated and
measured in U.S. dollars at exchange rates at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008,
respectively, had net notional amounts totaling $12.0 million and $4.4 million. Unrealized gains
and losses resulting from these contracts are recognized in Other (Income) Expense, Net.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Companys derivative instruments are carried at fair value. The Company has determined that the
inputs to the valuation of these derivative instruments are level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
As of September 30, 2009, there has not been any significant impact to the fair value of the
Companys derivative liabilities due to its own credit risk. Similarly, there has not been any
significant adverse impact to the Companys derivative assets based on evaluation of the Companys
counterparties credit risks.

The fair value of the Companys derivative instruments as of September 30, 2009 is as follows:

At September 30, 2009, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $18 million of losses in the
next twelve months from Accumulated Derivative Instruments Loss (Gain) to earnings,
contemporaneously with and offsetting changes in the related hedged exposure. The actual amount
that will be reclassified to future earnings may vary as a result of changes in market conditions.
NOTE 10 ENVIRONMENTAL AND LEGAL MATTERS
Environmental Matters
The Company is subject to a broad range of foreign, federal, state and local environmental, health
and safety laws and regulations, including those governing discharges to air, soil and water, the
management, treatment and disposal of hazardous substances, solid waste and hazardous wastes, the
investigation and remediation of contamination resulting from historical site operations and
releases of hazardous substances, and the health and safety of employees. Compliance initiatives
could result in significant costs, which could negatively impact the Companys financial position,
results of operations or cash flows. Any failure to comply with such laws and regulations or any
permits and authorizations required thereunder could subject the Company to fines, corrective
action or other sanctions.
In addition, some of the Companys current and former facilities are the subject of environmental
investigations and remediations resulting from historical operations and the release of hazardous
substances or other constituents. Some current and former facilities have a history of industrial
usage for which investigation and remediation obligations may be imposed in the future or for which
indemnification claims may be asserted against the Company. Also, potential future closures or
sales of facilities may necessitate further investigation and may result in future remediation at
those facilities.
On October 8, 2007, the Company received a notice from the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (the EPA) indicating that it is a potentially responsible party for the remedial
investigation and feasibility study to be conducted at the Devils Swamp Lake site in East Baton
Rouge Parish, Louisiana. The Company expects to enter into negotiations with the EPA regarding its
potential responsibility and liability, but it is too early in the investigation process to
quantify possible costs with respect to such site.
The Company has established reserves for those facilities or issues where liability is probable and
the costs are reasonably estimable. The Company believes that the amounts accrued for all of its
loss contingencies, and the reasonably possible loss beyond the amounts accrued, are not material
to the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company cannot
estimate with certainty other future corrective compliance, investigation or remediation costs.
Costs relating to historical usage or indemnification claims that the Company considers to be
reasonably possible are not quantifiable at this time. The Company will continue to monitor
environmental issues at each of its facilities and will revise its accruals, estimates and
disclosures relating to past, present and future operations, as additional information is obtained.
Legal Matters
The Company is a party to a number of lawsuits arising in the ordinary conduct of its business.
Although the timing and outcome of these lawsuits cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company
does not believe that disposition of these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the
Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
19
NOTE 11 BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company reports its results in three business segments: paperboard packaging, multi-wall bag
and specialty packaging. These segments are evaluated by the chief operating decision maker based
primarily on Income from Operations. The Companys reportable segments are based upon strategic
business units that offer different products.
The paperboard packaging segment is highly integrated and includes a system of mills and plants
that produces a broad range of paperboard grades convertible into folding cartons. Folding cartons
are used primarily to protect products, such as food, detergents, paper products, beverages, and
health and beauty aids, while providing point of purchase advertising. The paperboard packaging
business segment includes the design, manufacture and installation of packaging machinery related
to the assembly of cartons and the production and sale of corrugating medium and kraft paper from
paperboard mills in the U.S.
The multi-wall bag business segment converts kraft and specialty paper into multi-wall bags,
consumer bags and specialty retail bags. The bags are designed to ship and protect a wide range of
industrial and consumer products including fertilizers, chemicals, concrete, and pet and food
products.
The specialty packaging business segment primarily includes flexible packaging, label solutions,
laminations, inks and coatings. This segment converts a wide variety of technologically advanced
films for use in the food, pharmaceutical and industrial end-markets. Flexible packaging paper and
metallicized paper labels and heat transfer labels are used in a wide range of consumer
applications.
Prior year segment results have been reclassified for the allocation of certain corporate costs.

NOTE 13 GUARANTOR CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This disclosure is required because certain subsidiaries of Altivity became guarantors of GPII debt
securities on March 10, 2008, the date of the closing of the Altivity Transaction.
These condensed consolidating financial statements reflect GPHC and GPC (collectively the
Parent); GPII, the Subsidiary Issuer; and the Subsidiary Guarantors, which consist of all material
100% owned subsidiaries of GPII other than its foreign subsidiaries. The nonguarantor subsidiaries
are herein referred to as Nonguarantor Subsidiaries. Separate complete financial statements of
the Subsidiary Guarantors are not presented because the guarantors are jointly and severally, fully
and unconditionally liable under the guarantees.

Business Outlook |
OVERVIEW OF BUSINESS
The Companys objective is to strengthen its position as a leading provider of packaging solutions.
To achieve this objective, the Company offers customers its paperboard, cartons and packaging
machines, either as an integrated solution or separately. Cartons and carriers are designed to
protect and contain products. Product offerings include a variety of laminated, coated and printed
packaging structures that are produced from the Companys coated unbleached kraft paperboard (CUK
board) and coated-recycled paperboard (CRB), as well as other grades of paperboard that are
purchased from third party suppliers. Innovative designs and combinations of paperboard, films,
foils, metallization, holographics and embossing are customized to the individual needs of the
customers.
The Company is also a leading supplier of multi-wall bags and in addition to a full range of
products, provides customers with value-added graphical and technical support, and packaging
workshops to help educate customers.
The Companys specialty packaging business has an established position in end-markets for food
products, pharmaceutical and medical products, personal care, industrial, pet food and pet care
products, horticulture, military and commercial retort pouches and shingle wrap. In addition, the
Companys label business focuses on two product lines: heat transfer labels and litho labels.
The Company is implementing strategies (i) to expand market share in its current markets and to
identify and penetrate new markets; (ii) to capitalize on the Companys customer relationships,
business competencies, and mills and converting assets; (iii) to develop and market innovative
products and applications; and (iv) to continue to reduce costs by focusing on operational
improvements. The Companys ability to fully implement its strategies and achieve its objective may
be influenced by a variety of factors, many of which are beyond its control, such as inflation of
raw material and other costs, which the Company cannot always pass through to its customers, and
the effect of overcapacity in the worldwide paperboard packaging industry.
Significant Factors That Impact The Companys Business
Impact of Inflation. The Companys cost of sales consists primarily of energy (including natural
gas, fuel oil and electricity), pine pulpwood, chemicals, recycled fibers, purchased paperboard,
paper, aluminum foil, ink, plastic films and resins, depreciation expense and labor. Although the
Company is currently experiencing some deflation with certain input costs, its cost of goods sold
during the first nine months of 2009 reflects the higher cost associated with the inventory on hand
at December 31, 2008. Inflation increased costs in the first nine months of 2009 by $3.8 million,
compared to the first nine months of 2008. The 2009 costs are primarily related to labor and
related benefits ($21.5 million); the December 31, 2008 inventory sold during the first quarter of
2009 ($19.5 million); and outside board purchases ($16.2 million). These costs were partially
offset by other lower costs ($53.4 million), primarily due to lower costs for secondary fiber,
energy, chemical based inputs, and wood.
30
As the price of natural gas has experienced significant variability, the Company has entered into
contracts designed to manage risks associated with future variability in cash flows caused by
changes in the price of natural gas. The Company has hedged approximately 73% and 33% of its
expected natural gas usage for the remainder of 2009 and 2010, respectively. The Company believes
that the deflation it has experienced with certain input costs in the first nine months of 2009
will benefit results in 2009, although inflationary pressures, including higher costs for labor and
related benefits and purchased board, will most likely continue to negatively impact its results
for 2009. Since negotiated sales contracts and the market largely determine the pricing for its
products, the Company is at times limited in its ability to raise prices and pass through to its
customers all inflationary or other cost increases that the Company may incur.
Substantial Debt Obligations. The Company has $3,038.8 million of outstanding debt obligations as
of September 30, 2009. This debt can have significant consequences for the Company, as it requires
a significant portion of cash flow from operations to be used for the payment of principal and
interest, exposes the Company to the risk of increased interest rates and restricts the Companys
ability to obtain additional financing. Covenants in the Companys Credit Agreement also prohibit
or restrict, among other things, the disposal of assets, the incurrence of additional indebtedness
(including guarantees), payment of dividends, loans or advances and certain other types of
transactions. These restrictions could limit the Companys flexibility to respond to changing
market conditions and competitive pressures. The covenants also require compliance with a
consolidated secured leverage ratio. The Companys ability to comply in future periods with the
financial covenant will depend on its ongoing financial and operating performance, which in turn
will be subject to many other factors, many of which are beyond the Companys control. See
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources Liquidity and Capital Resources for
additional information regarding the Companys debt obligations.
Commitment to Cost Reduction. In light of increasing margin pressure throughout the packaging
industry, the Company has programs in place that are designed to reduce costs, improve productivity
and increase profitability. The Company utilizes a global continuous improvement initiative that
uses statistical process control to help design and manage many types of activities, including
production and maintenance. This includes a Six Sigma process focused on reducing variable and
fixed manufacturing and administrative costs. The Company expanded the continuous improvement
initiative to include the deployment of Lean Sigma principles into manufacturing and supply chain
services. As the Company strengthens the systems approach to continuous improvement, Lean Sigma
supports the efforts to build a high performing culture. During the first nine months of 2009, the
Company achieved $43.1 million in cost savings as compared to the first nine months of 2008,
through its continuous improvement programs and manufacturing initiatives.
As part of the integration with Altivity, the Company has accelerated and achieved cost synergies
and operating efficiencies sooner than expected. The Company will continue to benefit from these
actions as long as the run rate continues at the current level. The inability to maintain the run
rate could negatively impact future results.
Competition and Market Factors. As some products can be packaged in different types of materials,
the Companys sales are affected by competition from other manufacturers CUK board and other
substrates solid bleached sulfate (SBS) and recycled clay coated news (CCN). Substitute
products also include shrink film and corrugated containers. In addition, the Companys sales
historically are driven by consumer buying habits in the markets its customers serve. Continuing
increases in the cost of living, conditions in the residential real estate market, rising
unemployment rates, reduced access to credit and declining consumer confidence, as well as other
macroeconomic factors, may significantly negatively affect consumer spending behavior, which could
have a material adverse effect on demand for the Companys products. New product introductions and
promotional activity by the Companys customers and the Companys introduction of new packaging
products also impact its sales. The Companys containerboard business is subject to conditions in
the cyclical worldwide commodity paperboard markets, which have a significant impact on
containerboard sales. In addition, the Companys net sales, income from operations and cash flows
from operations are subject to moderate seasonality, with demand usually increasing in the spring
and summer due to the seasonality of the worldwide beverage multiple packaging markets.
The Company works to maintain market share through efficiency, product innovation and strategic
sourcing to its customers; however, pricing and other competitive pressures may occasionally result
in the loss of a customer relationship.

OVERVIEW OF 2009 RESULTS
|
|
|
Net Sales in the third quarter of 2009 decreased by $111.5 million, or 9.6%, to $1,054.2
million from $1,165.7 million in the third quarter of 2008 due to lower volume and pricing
across all segments, including the impact of the divested businesses of $28.1 million and
unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates in Europe. |
|
|
|
|
Income from Operations in the third quarter of 2009 increased by $45.0 million, or 85.7%,
to $97.5 million from $52.5 million in the third quarter of 2008. The increase was due to
cost savings through continuous improvement and synergy programs, a $38.5 million
alternative fuel tax credit, net of expenses, and the deflation of certain input costs.
These increases were partially offset by the lower volume and pricing, higher unabsorbed
fixed costs and merger-related, pension and depreciation expenses. Higher costs also resulted
from the timing of the maintenance outage at the Macon mill. |
|
|
|
|
The Company burns alternative fuel mixtures at its West Monroe and Macon mills in order
to produce energy and recover chemicals. The U.S. Internal Revenue Code allows an excise tax
credit under certain circumstances for the use of alternative fuels and alternative fuel
mixtures. In the first quarter 2009, the Company filed an application with the Internal
Revenue Service (the IRS) for certification of eligibility to receive the tax credit for
its use of black liquor in alternative fuel mixtures in the recovery boilers at the mills.
During the second quarter 2009, the Company received notification from the IRS that its
registration as an alternate fuel mixer had been approved. The Company has submitted refund
claims totaling $103.8 million based on fuel usage at the two mills from mid-January 2009
through September 30, 2009. The Company received refunds totaling $97.2 million through the
end of the third quarter. The impact of the tax credit is included in Restructuring and
Other Special (Credits) Charges in the amount of $38.5 million and $93.8 million for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, and is included in Corporate
for segment reporting purposes. The excise tax credit is currently scheduled to expire on
December 31, 2009. |
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Companys results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2008 include the results of Altivity from March 10, 2008, the date of the Altivity Transaction,
through September 30, 2008.
Segment Information
The Company reports its results in three business segments: paperboard packaging, multi-wall bag
and specialty packaging. Prior year segment results have been reclassified for the allocation of
certain corporate costs.

Paperboard Packaging
The Companys Net Sales from paperboard packaging in the third quarter of 2009 decreased by $60.7
million, or 6.4% to $886.2 million from $946.9 million in the third quarter of 2008 due to lower
sales volume for consumer products and containerboard, the impact of the two coated-recycled board
mills divested in September 2008 as well as lower pricing primarily for containerboard and CRB. The
lower consumer products sales were due to a decision to exit lower margin business, as well as the
continuing impact of general market conditions in which volume has remained steady in staples
(e.g., dry mixes, cereal, pizza) and was down in discretionary items
(e.g., candy, eating out). The lower containerboard and CRB pricing was partially offset by improved pricing in
folding carton as a result of negotiated inflationary cost pass throughs and other contractual
increases. Beverage volumes continue to be strong in the sub-premium beer market but remain down
in soft drink. Also negatively impacting the quarter were unfavorable currency exchange rate
changes in Europe, Mexico and Australia, partially offset by favorable changes in currency exchange
rates in Japan.
Multi-wall Bag
The Companys third quarter Net Sales from multi-wall bag decreased by $27.8 million as a result of
lower volume due to market declines in the building products, chemicals, minerals, and agriculture
and food industries. Also contributing to the decrease was lower pricing due to negotiated
deflationary pass throughs.
Specialty Packaging
The Companys third quarter Net Sales from specialty packaging decreased by $23.0 million as a
result of lower volume due to market declines in the building products, chemicals, and food and
pharmaceutical industries, the impact of the divested business and lower pricing.

Includes the benefits from the Companys cost reduction initiatives. |
Paperboard Packaging
The Companys Income from Operations from paperboard packaging in the third quarter of 2009
increased by $20.6 million or 29.3% to $90.8 million from $70.2 million in the third quarter of
2008 primarily as a result of cost savings and synergies as well as the deflation of certain input
costs. The deflation was primarily related to energy ($13.9 million); chemical based inputs ($8.1
million); secondary fiber ($7.7 million); wood ($4.6 million); and freight ($2.3 million);
partially offset by other higher costs ($14.1 million), primarily due to labor and related
benefits, primarily pension expense, and outside board purchases. The quarter was also negatively
impacted by higher unabsorbed fixed costs due to downtime for inventory control; higher
depreciation expense, including accelerated depreciation related to assets that will be removed
from service before the end of their originally estimated useful lives due to facility closures;
expenses related to the maintenance outage at the Macon mill; and the lower volume and pricing.
Multi-wall Bag
The Companys third quarter 2009 Income from Operations from multi-wall bag decreased by $8.3
million as a result of the lower pricing and volume, higher unabsorbed fixed costs due to downtime
for inventory control and higher expenses primarily related to work force reduction. These
decreases were partially offset by lower raw material costs, primarily for chemical based inputs.
Specialty Packaging
The Companys third quarter 2009 Income from Operations from specialty packaging decreased by $5.6
million as a result of the lower pricing and volume as well as higher expenses primarily related to
work force reduction. These decreases were partially offset by lower costs, primarily for chemical
based inputs.
Corporate
The Companys Income from Operations from corporate in the third quarter of 2009 was $4.9 million.
This compares to a $33.4 million Loss from Operations in the third quarter of 2008. The
improvement resulted primarily from the alternative fuel tax credit net
34
of expenses, of $38.5 million and favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily
in Europe resulting from the Companys loans to certain foreign affiliates as well as its forward
exchange contracts. These increases were partially offset by higher merger related expenses of $7.5
million as well as slightly higher costs related to incentives and other general corporate costs.

Paperboard Packaging
The Companys Net Sales from paperboard packaging in the first nine months of 2009 increased by
$73.4 million, or 2.9%, to $2,605.9 million from $2,532.5 million in the first nine months of 2008
as a result of the Altivity Transaction, improved pricing and higher volume/mix in beverage. This
was partially offset due to lower sales volume in consumer products, containerboard and European
open market, and the impact of the two coated-recycled board mills divested in September 2008. The
lower consumer products sales were due to a decision to exit lower margin business as well as the
general market conditions in which volume has remained steady in staples (e.g., dry mixes, cereal,
pizza) and continues to be down in discretionary items (e.g., candy, eating out). The
corrugated medium machine at the West Monroe mill was down for 36 days during the first six months
of 2009 due to softness in that market. Unfavorable currency exchange rate changes also negatively
impacted Net Sales.
Multi-wall Bag
The Companys Net Sales from multi-wall bag in the first nine months of 2009 increased by $18.8
million as a result the Altivity Transaction, partially offset by lower volume due to market
declines in the building products, chemicals, minerals, and agriculture and food industries as well
as the impact of the divested business. Also contributing to the decrease was lower pricing due to
negotiated deflationary pass throughs.
Specialty Packaging
The Companys Net Sales from specialty packaging in the first nine months of 2009 decreased by $6.7
million as a result of the lower volume due to market declines in the building products, chemicals,
and food and pharmaceutical industries as well as the impact of the divested business. Also
contributing to the decrease was lower pricing due to negotiated deflationary pass throughs. These
decreases were partially offset by the Altivity Transaction.

Includes the benefits from the Companys cost reduction initiatives. |
Paperboard Packaging
The Companys Income from Operations from paperboard packaging in the first nine months of 2009
increased by $40.8 million or 21.3% to $232.2 million from $191.4 million in the first nine months
of 2008 as a result of cost savings and synergies, the improved pricing and the Altivity
Transaction. These increases were partially offset by the lower volume, higher inflation and
depreciation expense, higher unabsorbed fixed costs including the 36 days of downtime related to
the corrugated medium machine and the impact of the divested mills, and costs associated with the
closure of the Companys plant in Grenoble, France. The inflation was primarily related to labor
and related benefits, primarily pension expense, ($21.0 million); the December 31, 2008 inventory
sold during the first quarter of 2009 ($19.5 million); and outside board purchases ($17.7 million);
partially offset by other lower costs ($42.8 million), primarily due to lower costs for secondary
fiber, energy and wood.
Multi-wall Bag
The Companys Income from Operations from multi-wall bag in the first nine months of 2009 decreased
by $16.8 million as a result of the lower pricing and volume, higher fixed cost absorption due to
downtime for inventory control and higher expenses primarily related to work force reductions,
which was partially offset by the Altivity Transaction and lower costs, primarily for chemical
based inputs.
Specialty Packaging
The Companys Income from Operations from specialty packaging in the first nine months of 2009
decreased by $2.5 million as a result of lower volume and pricing. These decreases were offset by
lower costs, primarily for chemical based inputs, the Altivity Transaction and the gain on the sale
of the ink business.
36
Corporate
The Companys Loss from Operations from corporate in the first nine months of 2009 was $22.9
million compared to $80.1 million in the first nine months of 2008. The improvement resulted
primarily from the alternative fuel tax credit net of expenses, of $93.8 million. These increases
were partially offset by higher merger related expenses of $34.7 million, including a $19.4 million
noncash charge related to excess maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) inventory, and higher
incentive expense. As part of the integration strategy, control over MRO inventory was centralized
and the current on hand/replenishment strategy was reviewed. As a result of the review, the
Company determined that $19.4 million of inventory on hand was excess and recorded a noncash
charge. The first nine months of 2008 included $24.4 million of expense related to the step-up in
inventory basis to fair value, partially offset by a favorable $10.4 million mark-to-market
adjustment for an interest rate swap.
INTEREST EXPENSE, INCOME TAX EXPENSE AND EQUITY IN NET EARNINGS OF AFFILIATES
Interest Expense
Interest Expense was $158.3 million and $158.2 million in the first nine months of 2009 and 2008,
respectively. Year over year Interest Expense was relatively flat because the additional debt
acquired as part of the Altivity Transaction has been offset by the lower interest rates on the
unhedged portion of the Companys debt. As of September 30, 2009, approximately 14% of the
Companys total debt was subject to floating interest rates.
Income Tax Expense
During the first nine months of 2009, the Company recognized Income Tax Expense of $29.7 million on
Income before Income Taxes and Equity in Net Earnings of Affiliates of $53.5 million. During the
first nine months of 2008, the Company recognized Income Tax Expense of $25.0 million on Loss
before Income Taxes and Equity in Net Earnings of Affiliates of $17.3 million. Income Tax Expense
for the first nine months of 2009 and 2008 was primarily due to the noncash expense of $23.8
million and $21.5 million, respectively, associated with the amortization of goodwill for tax
purposes. The Company has approximately $1.4 billion of net operating loss carryforwards for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, which may be used to offset taxable income.
Equity in Net Earnings of Affiliates
Equity in Net Earnings of Affiliates was $0.8 million and $1.2 million in the first nine months of
2009 and 2008, respectively, and is related to the Companys equity investment in the joint venture
Rengo Riverwood Packaging, Ltd.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company broadly defines liquidity as its ability to generate sufficient funds from both
internal and external sources to meet its obligations and commitments. In addition, liquidity
includes the ability to obtain appropriate debt and equity financing and to convert into cash those
assets that are no longer required to meet existing strategic and financial objectives. Therefore,
liquidity cannot be considered separately from capital resources that consist of current or
potentially available funds for use in achieving long-range business objectives and meeting debt
service commitments.

|
Net cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2009 totaled $321.5 million,
compared to $42.8 million in the first nine months of 2008. The increase was primarily due to the
alternative fuel tax credit of $97.2 million, improved working capital of $124.3 million primarily
as a result of lower inventory levels, lower postemployment contributions of $21.2 million, and
higher net income when adjusted for noncash items such as depreciation and amortization, and in
2008, the $24.4 million inventory step-up
37
related to Altivity, partially offset by the $10.4 million favorable mark-to-market adjustment for
an interest rate swap in the prior year period.
Net cash used in investing activities in the first nine months of 2009 totaled $87.7 million,
compared to $80.8 million in the first nine months of 2008. This increase was due primarily to the
Altivity Transaction in which the Company acquired $60.2 million of cash and higher proceeds from
the sales of assets in 2008, which was partially offset by $30.3 million in acquisition costs in
2008. This increase was partially offset by lower capital spending in 2009.
Net cash used in financing activities in 2009 totaled $159.5 million, compared to $190.5 million
provided by financing activities in the first nine months of 2008. This change was primarily due to
the repayment in 2009 of funds borrowed under the Companys revolving credit facilities in 2008
when the credit and securities markets were more volatile and the Company felt it necessary to
maintain sufficient cash to meet any foreseeable liquidity needs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Companys liquidity needs arise primarily from debt service on its substantial indebtedness and
from the funding of its capital expenditures, ongoing operating costs and working capital.
Principal and interest payments under the term loan facility and the revolving credit facility,
together with principal and interest payments on the Companys 9.5% Senior Notes due 2017 and 9.5%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the Notes), represent significant liquidity requirements for
the Company. Based upon current levels of operations, anticipated cost-savings and expectations as
to future growth, the Company believes that cash generated from operations, together with amounts
available under its revolving credit facility and other available financing sources, will be
adequate to permit the Company to meet its debt service obligations, necessary capital expenditure
program requirements, ongoing operating costs and working capital needs, although no assurance can
be given in this regard. The Companys future financial and operating performance, ability to
service or refinance its debt and ability to comply with the covenants and restrictions contained
in its debt agreements (see Covenant Restrictions) will be subject to future economic conditions,
including conditions in the credit markets, and to financial, business and other factors, many of
which are beyond the Companys control, and will be substantially dependent on the selling prices
and demand for the Companys products, raw material and energy costs, and the Companys ability to
successfully implement its overall business and profitability strategies.
Covenant Restrictions
The Credit Agreement dated May 15, 2007, as amended (the Credit Agreement) and the indentures
governing the Notes limit the Companys ability to incur additional indebtedness. Additional
covenants contained in the Credit Agreement, among other things, restrict the ability of the
Company to dispose of assets, incur guarantee obligations, prepay other indebtedness, make
dividends and other restricted payments, create liens, make equity or debt investments, make
acquisitions, modify terms of the indentures under which the Notes are issued, engage in mergers or
consolidations, change the business conducted by the Company and its subsidiaries, and engage in
certain transactions with affiliates. Such restrictions, together with the highly leveraged nature
of the Company and recent disruptions in the credit markets, could limit the Companys ability to
respond to changing market conditions, fund its capital spending program, provide for unexpected
capital investments or take advantage of business opportunities.
Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company must comply with a maximum consolidated
secured leverage ratio, which is defined as the ratio of: (a) total long-term and short-term
indebtedness of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP), plus the aggregate
cash proceeds received by the Company and its subsidiaries from any receivables or other
securitization but excluding therefrom (i) all unsecured indebtedness, (ii) all subordinated
indebtedness permitted to be incurred under the Credit Agreement, and (iii) all secured
indebtedness of foreign subsidiaries to (b) Adjusted EBITDA, which we refer to as Credit Agreement
EBITDA(1). Pursuant to this financial covenant, the Company must maintain a maximum consolidated
secured leverage ratio of less than the following:

Credit Agreement EBITDA is defined in the Credit Agreement as consolidated net income
before consolidated net interest expense, non-cash expenses and charges, total income tax
expense, depreciation expense, expense associated with amortization of intangibles and other
assets, non-cash provisions for
reserves for discontinued operations, extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring gains or losses or
charges or credits, gain or loss associated with sale or write-down of assets not in the ordinary
course of |

business, any income or loss accounted for by the equity method of accounting, and projected
run rate cost savings, prior to or within a twelve month period. |
At September 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenant in the Credit
Agreement and the ratio was as follows:
Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio 3.44 to 1.00
The Companys management believes that presentation of the consolidated secured leverage ratio and
Credit Agreement EBITDA herein provides useful information to investors because borrowings under
the Credit Agreement are a key source of the Companys liquidity, and the Companys ability to
borrow under the Credit Agreement is dependent on, among other things, its compliance with the
financial ratio covenant. Any failure by the Company to comply with this financial covenant could
result in an event of default, absent a waiver or amendment from the lenders under such agreement,
in which case the lenders may be entitled to declare all amounts owed to be due and payable
immediately.
Credit Agreement EBITDA is a financial measure not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and is
not a measure of net income, operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in
accordance with U.S. GAAP. Credit Agreement EBITDA should be considered in addition to results
prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to
U.S. GAAP results. In addition, Credit Agreement EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA or
similarly titled measures utilized by other companies because other companies may not calculate
Credit Agreement EBITDA in the same manner as the Company does.
The calculations of the components of the maximum consolidated secured leverage ratio for and as of
the period ended September 30, 2009 are listed below:

Note:

(a) |
|
As defined by the Credit Agreement, this represents projected cost savings expected by the
Company to be realized as a result of specific actions taken or expected to be taken prior to
or within twelve months of the period in which Credit Agreement EBITDA is to be calculated,
net of the amount of actual benefits realized or expected to be realized from such actions. |
|
|
|
The terms of the Credit Agreement limit the amount of projected run rate cost savings that may
be used in calculating Credit Agreement EBITDA by stipulating that such amount may not exceed
the lesser of (i) ten percent of EBITDA as defined in the Credit Agreement for the last
twelve-month period (before giving effect to projected run rate cost savings) or (ii) $100
million. |
|
|
|
As a result, in calculating Credit Agreement EBITDA above, the Company used projected run rate
cost savings of $57.6 million, or ten percent of EBITDA, as calculated in accordance with the
Credit Agreement, which amount is lower than total projected cost savings identified by the
Company, net of actual benefits realized for the twelve month period ended September 30, 2009.
Projected run rate cost savings were calculated by the Company solely for its use in calculating
Credit Agreement EBITDA for |
39
|
|
|
|
|
purposes of determining compliance with the maximum consolidated
secured leverage ratio contained in the Credit Agreement and should not be used for any other
purpose. |
|
(b) |
|
Represents consolidated indebtedness/securitization that is either (i) unsecured, or (ii)
Permitted Subordinated Indebtedness as defined in the Credit Agreement, or secured
indebtedness permitted to be incurred by the Companys foreign subsidiaries per the Credit
Agreement. |
If inflationary pressures on key inputs resume, or depressed selling prices, lower sales volumes,
increased operating costs or other factors have a negative impact on the Companys ability to
increase its profitability, the Company may not be able to maintain its compliance with the
financial covenant in its Credit Agreement. The Companys ability to comply in future periods with
the financial covenant in the Credit Agreement will depend on its ongoing financial and operating
performance, which in turn will be subject to economic conditions and to financial, business and
other factors, many of which are beyond the Companys control, and will be substantially dependent
on the selling prices for the Companys products, raw material and energy costs, and the Companys
ability to successfully implement its overall business strategies and meet its profitability
objective. If a violation of the financial covenant or any of the other covenants occurred, the
Company would attempt to obtain a waiver or an amendment from its lenders, although no assurance
can be given that the Company would be successful in this regard. The Credit Agreement and the
indentures governing the Notes have certain cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions; failure
to comply with these covenants in any agreement could result in a violation of such agreement which
could, in turn, lead to violations of other agreements pursuant to such cross-default or
cross-acceleration provisions. If an event of default occurs, the lenders are entitled to declare
all amounts owed to be due and payable immediately. The Credit Agreement is collateralized by
substantially all of the Companys domestic assets.
Capital Investment
The Companys capital investment in the first nine months of 2009 was $96.3 million compared to
$126.4 million (including $28.2 million for Altivity) in the first nine months of 2008. During the
first nine months of 2009, the Company had capital spending of $73.7 million for improving process
capabilities, $16.7 million for capital spares, $5.7 million for manufacturing packaging machinery
and $0.2 million for compliance with environmental laws and regulations.
Goodwill
During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company concluded that an interim goodwill
impairment analysis was not required as there were no events or changes in circumstances that would
suggest that the fair value of a reporting unit would no longer exceed its carrying amount.
The Company could be adversely impacted by certain of the risks discussed in Risk Factors in Item
1A. in the Companys 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K and thus could incur future goodwill
impairment charges.
Environmental Matters
Some of the Companys current and former facilities are the subject of environmental investigations
and remediations resulting from historical operations and the release of hazardous substances or
other constituents. Some current and former facilities have a history of industrial usage for which
investigation and remediation obligations may be imposed in the future or for which indemnification
claims may be asserted against the Company. Also, potential future closures or sales of facilities
may necessitate further investigation and may result in future remediation at those facilities. The
Company has established reserves for those facilities or issues where liability is probable and the
costs are reasonably estimable.
For further discussion of the Companys environmental matters, see Note 10 in Part I, Item 1, Notes
to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and changes in these estimates are
recorded when known. The critical accounting policies used by management in the preparation of the
Companys consolidated financial statements are those that are important both to the presentation
of the Companys financial condition and results of operations and require significant judgments by
management with regard to estimates used.
40
The Companys most critical accounting policies which require significant judgment or involve
complex estimations are described in GPHCs 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements impacting the Company, see Note 1 in Part I,
Item 1, Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
BUSINESS OUTLOOK
The Company believes that the deflation it has experienced with certain input costs in the first
nine months of 2009 will benefit results in 2009. The Company expects to realize approximately $110
million in year over year operating cost savings from its continuous improvement programs,
including Lean Sigma manufacturing projects and synergies.
Total capital investment for 2009 is expected to be approximately $150 million and is expected to
relate principally to the Companys process capability improvements and maintaining compliance with
environmental laws and regulations (approximately $124 million), acquiring capital spares
(approximately $18 million), and producing packaging machinery (approximately $8 million).
The Company also expects the following in 2009:
|
|
|
Depreciation and amortization between $300 million and $320 million. |
|
|
|
|
Interest expense of $210 million to $220 million, including $8.7 million of noncash
interest expense associated with amortization of debt issuance costs and the original
issuance discount. |
|
|
|
|
Pension plan contributions of $40 million to $60 million. |

controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Based upon such evaluation, management has concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of September 30, 2009.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is likely to
materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is a party to a number of lawsuits arising in the ordinary conduct of its business.

Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. For more
information see Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations Environmental Matters.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in GPHCs 2008 Form
