NOTE 1 — GENERAL INFORMATION

Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

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 food, beverage and other consumer products companies. The Company is the largest U.S. producer of folding cartons and holds a leading market position in coated unbleached kraft paperboard, coated-recycled boxboard and flexible packaging. The Company’s 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, its proprietary carton and packaging designs, and its commitment to customer service.

GPHC and Graphic Packaging Corporation (“GPC”) conduct no significant business and have no independent assets or operations other than GPHC’s ownership of all of GPC’s outstanding common stock, and GPC’s ownership of all of Graphic Packaging International, Inc.’s (“GPII”) outstanding common stock.

The Company’s 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 Company’s opinion, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated 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 Company’s year end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated 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 (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. Therefore, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with GPHC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. In addition, the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.

For a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies, please refer to GPHC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Equity Offering

On April 20, 2011, the Company completed a 47.0 million share public offering of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, priced at $4.75 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $213.2 million after deducting offering expenses. The Company used $29.5 million of the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase and subsequently retire 6.5 million shares of common stock held by the Grover C. Coors Trust (“Coors Trust”). In addition, the Company granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 7.05 million shares to cover over-allotments, if any. At the end of the 30-day option period, on May 18, 2011, the Company issued an additional 5.5 million shares of its common stock at $4.75 per share and received net proceeds of $25.1 million after deducting offering expenses. The Company used $3.4 million of net proceeds to repurchase and subsequently retire an additional 764,922 shares of the common stock held by the Coors Trust.

On April 29, 2011, the Company used $51.9 million of the proceeds from the offering to acquire substantially all of the assets of Sierra Pacific Packaging, Inc., (“Sierra”) a producer of folding cartons, beverage carriers and corrugated boxes for the consumer packaged goods industry. The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair

values as of the purchase date. The excess of the total purchase consideration over the aggregate fair value of identifiable net assets of $14.5 million was allocated to goodwill and the Company expects to deduct approximately $24 million of goodwill for tax purposes. The acquisition will be included in the paperboard packaging segment.

The Company used the remaining net proceeds to reduce its indebtedness and for general corporate purposes.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Effective January 1, 2011, the Company adopted revised guidance as required by the Revenue Recognition topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“the FASB Codification”) which requires vendors to account for transactions with the same customer involving multiple products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance amending the Other Comprehensive Income topic of the FASB Codification. The guidance provides an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2012 and is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance amending the Fair Value Measurement topic of the FASB Codification. This amendment represents the converged guidance of the FASB and the International Accounting Standard Board on fair value measurement, resulting in common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This guidance will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2012 to be applied prospectively and is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Total	$	413.1	$	8.3	$	368.4

Note:

(a)

In accordance with its debt agreements, the Company’s availability under its Revolving Credit Facility has been reduced by the amount of standby letters of credit issued of $36.4 million as of June 30, 2011. These letters of credit are used primarily as security against its self-insurance obligations and workers’ compensation obligations. These letters of credit expire at various dates through 2012 unless extended.

The Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the 9.5% Senior Notes due 2017, the 9.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013, and the 7.875% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Indentures”) limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness. Additional covenants contained in the Credit Agreement and the Indentures, 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 the Indentures, 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 Company’s 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 June 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the Credit Agreement and the Indentures.

NOTE 4 — STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS

The Company has five equity compensation plans, but since 2004 the Company’s only plan pursuant to which new grants are made is the Graphic Packaging Holding Company Amended and Restated 2004 Stock and Incentive Compensation plan (previously named the Graphic Packaging Corporation 2004 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan) (the “2004 Plan”). Stock options and other awards granted under all of the Company’s plans generally vest and expire in accordance with terms established at the time of grant. Shares issued pursuant to awards under the plans are from the Company’s authorized but unissued shares. Compensation costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.

Stock Awards, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

The Company’s 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 of common stock, based on the proportion set forth in the grant agreements.

Data concerning RSUs and stock awards granted in the first six months of 2011 is as follows:


			Weighted Avg.
			Grant Date Fair
Shares in thousands	Shares		Value Per Share

RSUs — Employees		3,946	$	5.17
Stock Awards — Board of Directors		199	$	5.43

During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, $13.8 million and $4.5 million, respectively, were charged to compensation expense for stock incentive plans.

NOTE 5 — PENSIONS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

The Company maintains both defined benefit pension plans and postretirement health care plans that provide medical and life insurance coverage to eligible salaried and hourly retired employees in North America and their dependents. The Company maintains international defined benefit pension plans which are both noncontributory and contributory and are funded in accordance with applicable local laws. Pension or termination benefits are based primarily on years of service and the employees’ compensation.

Currently, the North American defined benefit plans are closed to newly-hired salaried and non-union hourly employees. Effective July 1, 2011, the North American defined benefit plans were frozen for most salaried and non-union hourly employees and replaced with a defined contribution plan. The impact of the freeze recorded in the second quarter of 2011 was a curtailment gain of $0.8 million and a reduction in the liability of $7.8 million, resulting in a net decrease of $7.0 million in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.

The U.K. defined benefit plan was frozen effective March 31, 2001 and replaced with a defined contribution plan.

Pension and Postretirement Expense

The pension and postretirement expenses related to the Company’s plans consisted of the following:


													Postretirement Health

Employer Contributions

The Company made contributions of $23.3 million and $18.7 million to its pension plans during the first six months of 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company expects to make contributions of $50 million to $70 million for the full year 2011. During 2010, the Company made $47.3 million of contributions to its pension plans.

The Company made postretirement health care benefit payments of $0.8 million and $0.9 million during the first six months of 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company estimates its postretirement health care benefit payments for the full year 2011 to be approximately $4 million. During 2010, the Company made postretirement health care benefit payments of $3.2 million.

NOTE 6 — 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. 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 to earnings.

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. The differential to be paid or received under these agreements is recognized as an adjustment to Interest Expense related to debt. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount of $920 million and $1,250 million, respectively. The outstanding swap agreements under which the Company will pay fixed rates of 2.24% to 3.84% and receive three-month LIBOR rates, expire on various dates in 2012.

Changes in fair value will subsequently be reclassified into earnings as a component of Interest Expense, Net 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.

During the first six months of 2011 and 2010, there were no amounts or 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. The Company has entered into natural gas swap contracts to hedge pricing for approximately 56% of its expected natural gas usage for the remainder of 2011 with a weighted average contractual rate of $4.73 per one million British Thermal Unit (“MMBTU”), and for 40% of its expected natural gas usage for the first quarter of 2012 with a weighted average contractual price of $4.84 per MMBTU. Such contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The contracts are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), and the resulting gain or loss is reclassified into Cost of Sales concurrently with the recognition of the commodity consumed. The ineffective portion of the swap contracts’ change in fair value would be recognized immediately in earnings.

During the first six months of 2011 and 2010, 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. The contracts are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), and gains/losses related to these contracts are recognized in Other (Income) Expense, Net when the anticipated transaction affects income. At June 30, 2011, multiple forward exchange contracts existed that expire on various dates through 2012. Those purchased forward exchange contracts outstanding at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, when aggregated and measured in U.S. dollars at contractual rates at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, had notional amounts totaling $38.8 million and $58.7 million.

No amounts were reclassified to earnings during the first six months of 2011 or during 2010 in connection with forecasted transactions that were no longer considered probable of occurring, and there was no amount of 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 June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, multiple foreign currency forward exchange contracts existed, with maturities ranging up to three months. Those foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, when aggregated and measured in U.S. dollars at exchange rates at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, had net notional amounts totaling $19.6 million and $8.2 million. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from these contracts are recognized in Other (Income) Expense, Net and approximately offset corresponding recognized but unrealized gains and losses on these accounts receivable.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s 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. Level 2 inputs are defined as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. The Company uses valuation techniques based on discounted cash flow analyses, which reflects the terms of the derivatives and uses observable market-based inputs, including forward rates and uses market price quotations obtained from independent derivatives brokers, corroborated with information obtained from independent pricing service providers.

As of June 30, 2011, there has not been any significant impact to the fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities due to its own credit risk. Similarly, there has not been any significant adverse impact to the Company’s derivative assets based on evaluation of the Company’s counterparties’ credit risks.

The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments is as follows:


	Derivative					Derivative
	Assets					Liabilities
	Balance Sheet	June 30,		December 31,		Balance Sheet	June 30,		December 31,
In millions	Location	2011		2010		Location	2011		2010

Foreign Currency Contracts	Other Current Assets		—		—	Other Accrued Liabilities		0.4		0.3

Total Derivative Contracts		$	—	$	0.8		$	21.6	$	35.0

The fair values of the Company’s other financial assets and liabilities at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 approximately equal the carrying values reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets except for Long-Term Debt. The fair value of the Company’s Long-Term Debt was $2,487.0 million and $2,626.8 million as compared to the carrying amounts of $2,429.5 million and $2,572.4 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The fair value of Long-Term Debt is based on quoted market prices.

Accumulated Derivative Instruments (Loss) Gain

The following is a rollforward of Accumulated Derivative Instruments (Loss) Gain which is included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:


In millions

Balance at December 31, 2010	$	(27.4	)
Reclassification to earnings		15.7
Current period change in fair value		(5.2	)

Balance at June 30, 2011	$	(16.9	)

At June 30, 2011, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $16.9 million of losses in the next twelve months from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss to earnings, contemporaneously with and offsetting changes in the related hedged exposure. The actual amount that will be reclassified to future earnings may vary from this amount as a result of changes in market conditions.

NOTE 7 — INCOME TAXES

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recognized Income Tax Expense of $7.4 million and $10.3 million on Income before Income Taxes and Equity Income of Unconsolidated Entities of $38.9 million and $68.2 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recognized Income Tax Expense of $10.2 million and $18.8 million on a Loss before Income Taxes and Equity Income of Unconsolidated Entities of $23.1 million and $8.5 million. Income Tax Expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 primarily relates to the non-cash expense of $5.6 million and $11.2 million, and $8.0 million and $15.9, respectively, associated with the amortization of goodwill for tax purposes. The reduction was primarily due to a portion of goodwill being fully amortized at the end of 2010. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company also recorded a benefit related to certain discrete events including the revision of state tax positions and the expiration of the statute of limitation associated with reserves in a foreign jurisdiction. The Company has approximately $1.2 billion of NOLs for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which is currently being used and may be used to offset future taxable income.

NOTE 9 — 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 Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Any failure to comply with environmental or health and safety laws and regulations or any permits and authorizations required thereunder could subject the Company to fines, corrective action or other sanctions.

Some of the Company’s 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 Devil’s Swamp Lake site in East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana. The Company believes it is a de minimis contributor to the site and expects to enter into negotiations with the EPA and other potentially responsible parties regarding its potential responsibility and liability. There have been no material developments in this action since the Company received the original notice in October 2007.

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 Company’s consolidated 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 that the Company considers to be reasonably possible of resulting in liability are not quantifiable at this time. The Company will continue to monitor environmental issues at each of its facilities, as well as regulatory developments, 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 Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 10 — BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company reports its results in two business segments: paperboard packaging and flexible packaging. These segments are evaluated by the chief operating decision maker based primarily on Income from Operations. The Company’s reportable segments are based upon strategic business units that offer different products. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in GPHC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

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 corrugated medium and kraft paper from paperboard mills in the U.S.

The flexible packaging segment converts kraft and specialty paper into multi-wall bags, consumer and specialty retail bags and produces flexible packaging, label solutions and laminations. The multi-wall 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 flexible packaging, label solutions and laminations are converted from 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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of operations is intended to provide investors with an understanding of Graphic Packaging Holding Company’s (“GPHC” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) past performance, its financial condition and its prospects. The following will be discussed and analyzed:

Ø		Overview of Business

Ø		Overview of 2011 Results

Ø		Results of Operations

Ø		Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Ø		Critical Accounting Policies

Ø		New Accounting Standards

Ø		Business Outlook

OVERVIEW OF BUSINESS

The Company’s 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 Company’s CUK, CRB, and URB, 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 a leading supplier of flexible packaging in North America. Products include multi-wall bags, shingle wrap, plastic bags and film for building materials (such as ready-mix concrete), retort pouches (such as meals ready to go), medical test kits, batch inclusion bags and film. Key end-markets include food and agriculture, building and industrial materials, chemicals, minerals, pet foods, and pharmaceutical products. The Company’s label business focuses on two product lines: heat transfer labels and lithographic 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 Company’s customer relationships, business competencies, and mills and converting assets; (iii) to develop and market innovative, sustainable products and applications; and (iv) to continue to reduce costs by focusing on operational improvements. The Company’s 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 Company’s Business

Impact of Inflation. The Company’s 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. Inflation increased costs in the first six months of 2011 by $79.2 million, compared to the first six months of 2010. The higher costs in 2011 are primarily related to chemical-based inputs ($23.2 million); externally purchased board ($17.2 million); labor and related benefits ($14.3 million); secondary fiber ($12.5 million); externally purchased paper ($10.8 million); and freight ($9.8 million). These higher costs were partially offset by lower wood ($5.1 million); other inflation ($1.8 million); and energy costs ($1.7 million), mainly due to the price of natural gas.

The Company expects commodity inflation to continue due to global demand as new paperboard capacity is being built in emerging markets. The capacity is primarily in the CRB substrate, putting further inflationary pressure on secondary fiber and mill chemicals.

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 entered into natural gas swap contracts to hedge prices for a portion of its expected natural gas usage for the remainder of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012. 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 any inflationary or other cost increases that the Company may incur.

Substantial Debt Obligations. The Company had $2,437.8 million of outstanding debt obligations as of June 30, 2011. 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 Company’s ability to obtain additional financing. Covenants in the Company’s Credit Agreement dated May 16, 2007, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”) and the indentures governing its 9.5% Senior Notes due 2017, the 9.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013, and the 7.875% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Indentures”) 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 Company’s flexibility to respond to changing market conditions and competitive pressures. The Credit Agreement also requires compliance with a maximum consolidated secured leverage ratio. The Company’s 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 Company’s control. See “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional information regarding the Company’s debt obligations.

The substantial debt and the restrictions under the Credit Agreement and the Indentures could limit the Company’s flexibility to respond to changing market conditions and competitive pressures. The material outstanding debt obligations and the restrictions may also leave the Company more vulnerable to a downturn in general economic conditions or its business, or unable to carry out capital expenditures that are necessary or important to its growth strategy and productivity improvement programs.

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 six months of 2011, the Company achieved $48.7 million in cost savings as compared to the first six months of 2010, through its continuous improvement programs and manufacturing initiatives.

The Company’s ability to continue to successfully implement its business strategies and to realize anticipated savings and operating efficiencies is subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. If the Company cannot successfully implement the strategic cost reductions or other cost savings plans it may not be able to continue to compete successfully against other manufacturers. In addition, any failure to generate the anticipated efficiencies and savings could adversely affect the Company’s financial results.

Competition and Market Factors. As some products can be packaged in different types of materials, the Company’s sales are affected by competition from other manufacturers’ CUK board and other substrates such as solid bleached sulfate and recycled clay-coated news. Substitute products also include plastic, shrink film and corrugated containers. In addition, while the Company has long-term relationships with many of its customers, the underlying contracts may be re-bid or renegotiated from time to time, and the Company may not be successful in renewing on favorable terms or at all. 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.

In addition, the Company’s sales historically are driven by consumer buying habits in the markets its customers serve. Increases in the costs of living, the poor condition of the residential real estate market, high unemployment rates, reduced access to credit markets, as well as other macroeconomic factors, may significantly negatively affect consumer spending behavior, which could have a material adverse effect on demand for the Company’s products. New product introductions and promotional activity by the Company’s customers and the Company’s introduction of new packaging products also impact its sales. The Company’s containerboard business is subject to conditions in the cyclical worldwide commodity paperboard markets, which have a significant impact on containerboard sales.

OVERVIEW OF 2011 RESULTS

This management’s discussion and analysis contains an analysis of Net Sales, Income from Operations and other information relevant to an understanding of results of operations.

	•		During the second quarter 2011, the Company completed a public offering of 52.5 million shares its common stock par value $0.01 per share, priced at $4.75 per share and received net proceeds of $238.0 million after offering expenses. The Company used $32.9 million of the net proceeds to repurchase and subsequently retire approximately 7.3 million shares of common stock held by the Grover C. Coors Trust. The Company also used a portion of the net proceeds to prepay $150.0 million of its term loans. Additionally, the Company used $51.9 million to acquire substantially all of the assets of Sierra Pacific Packaging, Inc. (“Sierra”), a producer of folding cartons, beverage carriers and corrugated boxes for the consumer packaged goods industry.

	•		Net Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased by $44.2 million, or 4.3%, to $1,080.7 million from $1,036.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 primarily due to higher pricing for all segments and favorable currency exchange rates primarily in Europe, Japan and Australia. These increases were partially offset by lower volume due to market softness.

	•		Income from Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased by $53.5 million to $76.3 million from $22.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. This increase was primarily due to lower restructuring charges of $46.6 million, the higher pricing, and improved performance due to cost savings, partially offset by higher inflation and the lower volume.

Paperboard Packaging

The Company’s Net Sales from paperboard packaging for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased by $39.4 million, or 4.5%, to $907.2 million from $867.8 million for the same period in 2010 as a result of higher pricing for consumer and beverage products primarily due to inflationary cost pass throughs and for open market CUK, CRB and containerboard. Favorable foreign exchange rates primarily in Europe, Japan and Australia also positively impacted Net Sales. These increases were partially offset by lower volume for consumer products, soft drink, containerboard and open market CRB and CUK sales. The lower consumer products sales was due to the continuing impact of general market conditions in which volume was down primarily in cereal, dry foods and frozen foods. The decrease in soft drink sales volume was due to higher consumer pricing and prior year promotional activity. Beer volumes were up slightly due to the smaller craft beer market.

Flexible Packaging

The Company’s Net Sales from flexible packaging for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased by $4.8 million to $173.5 million from $168.7 million as a result of higher pricing primarily due to negotiated inflationary pass throughs. The pricing increase was partially offset by lower volume as a result of the market conditions where construction and industrial sectors remained weak.

Paperboard Packaging

The Company’s Income from Operations from paperboard packaging for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased by $15.8 million, or 21.1%, to $90.8 million from $75.0 million for the same period in 2010 as a result of the higher pricing, cost savings through continuous improvement programs and favorable currency rates. These increases were partially offset by inflation, which was primarily related to higher chemical-based inputs ($9.8 million); externally purchased board ($8.4 million); labor and related benefits ($8.1 million); secondary fiber ($7.5 million); freight ($4.4 million); and energy costs ($0.9 million), mainly due to the price of electricity. These higher costs were partially offset by lower wood ($1.9 million) and other costs ($4.2 million). During the second quarter 2011, the Company took down time in its converting facilities to manage inventory due to market softness, resulting in $5.9 million of higher costs due to lower absorption. Additionally, the Company recorded $2.3 million for severance expense and accelerated depreciation for assets that will be removed from service before the end of their useful lives due to planned closure of the Cincinnati, OH facility.

Flexible Packaging

The Company’s Income from Operations from flexible packaging for the three months ended June 30, 2011 decreased by $3.9 million, or 86.7%, to $0.6 million from $4.5 million for the same period in 2010 as a result of inflation. The inflation was primarily due to externally purchased paper ($5.0 million); resin ($2.1 million); labor and related benefits ($1.3 million); film ($1.3 million); and other costs ($1.0 million). Additionally, the Company recorded $1.6 million for severance expense and accelerated depreciation for assets that will be removed from service before the end of their useful lives due to the closure of the Jacksonville, AR facility. The higher costs were partially offset by the higher pricing and cost savings.

Corporate

The Company’s Loss from Operations from corporate for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $15.1 million compared to $56.7 million for the same period in 2010. The change was primarily due to lower restructuring expenses of $46.6 million due to the finalization of merger-related activities last year and partially offset by higher stock compensation expense.

Favorable currency exchange rate changes, primarily in Europe, Japan and Australia, also positively impacted Net Sales. These increases were partially offset by lower volume for consumer products, soft drink, containerboard and open market CRB and CUK sales. The lower consumer products volume were due to the continuing impact of general market conditions in which volume was down primarily in cereal, dry foods and frozen foods.

Paperboard Packaging

The Company’s Income from Operations from paperboard packaging for the first six months of 2011 increased by $14.5 million, or 9.6%, to $165.2 million from $150.7 million for the same period in 2010 as a result of the higher pricing, cost savings through continuous improvement programs primarily focused on maximizing productivity and minimizing waste in the production cycle and favorable currency exchange rates. These increases were partially offset by higher costs due to inflation, the lower volume in consumer and beverage products as well as higher stock compensation costs. The inflation was primarily related to higher chemical-based input ($17.7 million); externally purchased board ($17.2 million); secondary fiber ($12.5 million); labor and benefits ($11.8 million); and freight ($8.6 million). These higher costs were partially offset by lower wood ($5.1 million); energy costs ($1.8 million), mainly due to the price of natural gas; and other costs ($3.8 million). The first six months of 2011 were also negatively impacted by the storms in the Midwestern United States in February which interrupted shipments and resulted in lost sales for consumer products as well as the previously mentioned downtime taken in the converting facilities to manage inventory. Additionally, the Company recorded $2.3 million for severance expense and accelerated depreciation for assets that will be removed from service before the end of their useful lives due to the planned closure of the Cincinnati, OH facility.

Flexible Packaging

The Company’s Income from Operations from flexible packaging for the first six months of 2011 decreased by $4.6 million, or 41.1%, to $6.6 million from $11.2 million for the same period in 2010 as a result of inflation, soft volume and higher stock compensation costs. The inflation was related to externally purchased paper ($10.8 million); resin ($5.0 million); labor and benefits ($2.5 million); film ($1.9 million); freight ($1.1 million); and other inflation ($0.8 million). Additionally, the Company recorded $2.6 million for severance expense and accelerated depreciation for assets that will be removed from service before the end of their useful lives due to the closure of the Jacksonville, AR facility. The higher costs were partially offset by the higher pricing and cost savings through continuous improvement.

Corporate

The Company’s Loss from Operations from corporate for the first six months of 2011 was $26.9 million compared to $79.5 million for the same period in 2010. The change was primarily due to $55.1 million higher merger-related expense in 2010 primarily for the charges related to finalizing restructuring activities and favorable currency exchange impact, partially offset by higher stock compensation expense.

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET AND INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Interest Expense, Net

Interest Expense, Net was $75.9 million and $90.0 million for the first six months of 2011 and 2010, respectively. Interest Expense, Net decreased due to lower debt levels and lower average rates of the Company’s debt. As of June 30, 2011, approximately 32% of the Company’s total debt was subject to floating interest rates.

Income Tax Expense

During the first six months of 2011, the Company recognized Income Tax Expense of $10.3 million on Income before Income Taxes and Equity Income of Unconsolidated Entities of $68.2 million. During the first six months of 2010, the Company recognized Income Tax Expense of $18.8 million on Loss before Income Taxes and Equity Income of Unconsolidated Entities of $8.5 million. Income Tax Expense for the first six months of 2011 and 2010 primarily relates to the noncash expense of $11.2 million and $15.9 million, respectively, associated with the amortization of goodwill for tax purposes. The Company has approximately $1.2 billion of net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which is currently being used and may be used to offset future taxable income.

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.

Cash Flows


	Six Months Ended
	June 30,
In millions	2011			2010

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities	$	117.6		$	95.6
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities		(124.5	)		(37.1	)
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities		57.5			(35.4	)

Net cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2011 totaled $117.6 million, compared to $95.6 million for the same period in 2010. The increase was primarily due to higher net income, which was partially offset by higher working capital requirements due primarily to higher inventory levels as a result of lower sales volume.

Net cash used in investing activities for the first six months of 2011 totaled $124.5 million, compared to $37.1 million for the same period in 2010. This year over year change was due primarily to the acquisition of Sierra of $51.9 million; and an increase in capital spending of $31.1 million as a result of management’s decision to invest in capital projects to improve process capabilities and reduce costs including the previously announced biomass boiler project in Macon, GA.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the first six months of 2011 totaled $57.5 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of $35.4 million for the same period in 2010. This change was primarily due to the net proceeds from the equity offering of $238.0 million which was used to make payments of $150.0 million on the Company’s term loans and to repurchase its common stock for $32.9 million. In June 2010, the Company redeemed $34.9 million of its Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013.

In July 2011, the Company called the remaining $73.3 million of its Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 for settlement on August 15, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s 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 Company’s 9.5% Senior Notes due 2017, the 9.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013, and the 7.875% Senior Notes due 2018 (“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 and ongoing operating costs and working capital needs, although no assurance can be given in this regard. The Company’s 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 Company’s control, and will be substantially dependent on the selling prices and demand for the Company’s products, raw material and energy costs, and the Company’s ability to successfully implement its overall business and profitability strategies.

Covenant Restrictions

The Credit Agreement and the Indentures limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness. Additional covenants contained in the Credit Agreement and the Indentures, 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 disruptions in the credit markets, could limit the Company’s 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:


	Maximum Consolidated Secured
	Leverage Ratio⁽¹⁾

October 1, 2009 and thereafter		4.75 to 1.00

Note:

(1)

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 June 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenant in the Credit Agreement and the ratio was as follows:

Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio — 2.49 to 1.00

The Company’s 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 Company’s liquidity, and the Company’s 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 June 30, 2011 are listed below:


	Twelve Months Ended
In millions	June 30, 2011

Net Income	$	96.0
Income Tax Expense		19.0

Depreciation and Amortization		280.5
Equity Income of Unconsolidated Entities, Net of Dividends		(0.3	)
Other Non-Cash Charges		39.9
Losses Associated with Sale/Write-Down of Assets		2.2
Other Non-Recurring/Extraordinary/Unusual Items		15.2
Projected Run Rate Cost Savings ^(a)		61.3

Credit Agreement EBITDA	$	674.2


	As of
In millions	June 30, 2011

Long-Term Debt		2,418.1

Total Debt	$	2,437.8
Less Adjustments ^(b)		760.1

Consolidated Secured Indebtedness	$	1,677.7

Notes:

(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) and (ii) $100 million. As a result, in calculating Credit Agreement EBITDA above, the Company used projected run rate cost savings of $61.3 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 June 30, 2011. Projected run rate cost savings were calculated by the Company solely for its use in calculating Credit Agreement EBITDA for 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) all subordinated indebtedness permitted to be incurred under the Credit Agreement, or secured indebtedness permitted to be incurred by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries per the Credit Agreement.

The Company’s credit rating was upgraded to BB by Standard & Poor’s and Ba3 by Moody’s Investor Services during the second quarter. As of June 30, 2011, Standard & Poor’s ratings on the Company have a positive outlook, while Moody’s Investor Services’ ratings on the Company have a stable outlook.

If inflationary pressures on key inputs continue, or depressed selling prices, lower sales volumes, increased operating costs or other factors have a negative impact on the Company’s ability to increase its profitability, the Company may not be able to maintain its compliance with the financial covenant in its Credit Agreement. The Company’s 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 Company’s control, and will be substantially dependent on the selling prices for the Company’s products, raw material and energy costs, and the Company’s 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 Company’s domestic assets.

Capital Investment

The Company’s capital investment in the first six months of 2011 was $70.8 million compared to $39.7 million in the first six months of 2010. During the first six months of 2011, the Company had capital spending of $53.0 million for improving process capabilities, $8.3 million for capital spares and $9.5 million for manufacturing packaging machinery.

Environmental Matters

For further discussion of the Company’s environmental matters, see Note 9 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 Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are those that are important both to the presentation of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and require significant judgments by management with regard to estimates used.

The Company’s most critical accounting policies which require significant judgment or involve complex estimations are described in GPHC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

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 expects to realize between $70 million and $90 million of year over year operating cost savings from its continuous improvement programs, including Lean Sigma manufacturing projects.

Total capital investment for 2011 is expected to be in the $170 million range and is expected to relate principally to the Company’s process capability improvements (approximately $136 million), acquiring capital spares (approximately $20 million), and producing packaging machinery (approximately $14 million).

The Company also expects the following in 2011:

	•		Depreciation and amortization in the $285 million range.

	•		Interest expense of $145 million to $155 million, including $9 million of non-cash interest expense associated with amortization of debt issuance costs.

	•		Net debt reduction from operations in the $200 million to $220 million range in addition to the use of the proceeds from the equity offering.

	•		Pension plan contributions of $50 million to $70 million.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

For a discussion of certain market risks related to the Company, see Part II, “Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk”, in GPHC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Based upon such evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2011.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
