ROCK-TENN COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three and Six Month Periods Ended March 31, 2008
(Unaudited)
Unless the context otherwise requires, we, us, our, Rock-Tenn and the Company refer
to the business of Rock-Tenn Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its partially-owned
consolidated subsidiaries, including RTS Packaging, LLC (RTS), Fold-Pak, LLC (Fold-Pak),
GraphCorr LLC, Schiffenhaus Canada, Inc. and Schiffenhaus California, LLC. We own 65% of RTS and
conduct our interior packaging products business through RTS. At September 30, 2006 we owned 60%
of Fold-Pak and conducted some of our folding carton operations through Fold-Pak. In January 2007,
we acquired the remaining 40% of Fold-Pak. Following the Southern Container Acquisition in March
2008, we own 68% of GraphCorr LLC, 66.67% of Schiffenhaus Canada, Inc. and 50% of Schiffenhaus
California, LLC, through which we conduct some of our high impact graphics manufacturing operations
in these entities. Our references to the business of Rock-Tenn Company does not include Seven Hills
Paperboard, LLC (Seven Hills), Quality Packaging Specialists International, LLC (QPSI), or
Display Source Alliance, LLC (DSA), Pohlig Brothers, LLC (Pohlig) and Greenpine Road, LLC
(Greenpine). Pohlig and Greenpine were acquired in the Southern Container Acquisition. We own
49% of Seven Hills, a manufacturer of gypsum paperboard liner, 23.96% of QPSI, a business providing
merchandising displays, contract packing, logistics and distribution solutions, 45% of DSA, a
business providing primarily permanent merchandising displays, 50% of Pohlig, an entity through
which we conduct some of our high impact graphics manufacturing operations and 50% of Greenpine
which owns the facility Pohlig operates, none of which we consolidate. All references in the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to
data regarding sales price per ton and fiber, energy, chemical and freight costs with respect to
our recycled paperboard mills excludes that data with respect to our Aurora, Illinois, recycled
paperboard mill, which sells only converted products that would not be material. All other
references herein to operating data with respect to our recycled paperboard mills, including tons
data and capacity utilization rates, includes operating data from our Aurora mill.
Note 1. Interim Financial Statements
Our independent public accounting firm has not audited our accompanying interim financial
statements. We derived the condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2007 from the
audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of our management, the condensed
consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature,
necessary for a fair presentation of our results of operations for the three and six months ended
March 31, 2008 and 2007, our financial position at March 31, 2008 and September 30, 2007, and our
cash flows for the six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.
We have condensed or omitted certain notes and other information from the interim financial
statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Therefore, these interim statements
should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2007 (the Fiscal 2007 Form 10-K).
The results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative
of results that may be expected for the full year.
Note 2. New Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted
We adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48) as of October
1, 2007. See Note 7. Tax Provision.
Recently Issued Standards
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS
157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), and expands disclosures
about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement,
not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair
5
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
value measurement would be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would
use in pricing the asset or liability. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007 (October 1, 2008 for us). Management is presently evaluating the impact, if any,
upon adoption.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations
(SFAS 141(R)). SFAS 141(R) expands the definition of a business combination and requires the fair
value of the purchase price of an acquisition, including the issuance of equity securities, to be
determined on the acquisition date. SFAS 141(R) also requires that all assets, liabilities,
contingent considerations, and contingencies of an acquired business be recorded at fair value at
the acquisition date. In addition, SFAS 141(R) requires that acquisition costs generally be
expensed as incurred, restructuring costs generally be expensed in periods subsequent to the
acquisition date, and changes in accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowances and
acquired income tax uncertainties after the measurement period impact income tax expense. SFAS
141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 (October 1, 2009 for us)
with early adoption prohibited. We are currently evaluating the effect the implementation of SFAS
141(R) will have on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 changes the accounting and
reporting for minority interests such that minority interests will be recharacterized as
noncontrolling interests and will be required to be reported as a component of equity, and requires
that purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change in control be accounted
for as equity transactions and, upon a loss of control, requires the interest sold, as well as any
interest retained, to be recorded at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. SFAS
160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (October 1, 2009 for us)
with early adoption prohibited. We are currently evaluating the effect the implementation of SFAS
160 will have on the consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activitiesan amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 changes the
disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to
provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how
derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its
related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an
entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for
fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 (January 1, 2009 for us). We
are currently evaluating the effect the implementation of SFAS 161 will have on the consolidated
financial statements.

Options to purchase 0.3 million common shares were not included in computing diluted earnings
per share in the three and six months ended March 31, 2008, respectively, because the effect would
have been antidilutive. All outstanding options to purchase common shares were dilutive for the
three and six months ended March 31, 2007 and were included in computing earnings per share.
Note 5. Acquisitions
Southern Container Acquisition
On March 5, 2008, we acquired the stock of Southern Container Corp. The transaction had an
effective date of March 2, 2008. We have included the results of Southern Containers operations
in our financial statements since that date in our Corrugated Packaging segment. We made the
acquisition in order to expand our corrugated packaging business with the Southern Container assets
that we believe have one of the lowest system costs and the highest EBITDA margins of any major
integrated corrugated company in North America.
The purchase price for the acquisition was $1,060.9 million, net of cash received of $54.0
million, including expenses. The purchase price is subject to adjustment based on the amount of
working capital acquired. Rock-Tenn and Southern Container expect to make an election under
section 338(h) (10) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) that will
increase Rock-Tenns tax basis in the acquired assets and result in a net present value benefit of
approximately $150 million, net of tax gross-up payments of $68.7 million to Southern Containers
stockholders. We incurred $27.3 million of financing costs. See
Note 9. Debt.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. We are in the process of analyzing the estimated
values of assets and liabilities acquired and are obtaining third-party valuations of certain
tangible and intangible assets and finalizing our operating plans and, thus, the allocation of the
purchase price is subject to material revision.

We recorded preliminary estimated fair values for acquired assets and liabilities including
goodwill and intangibles. We recorded $66.4 million of customer relationship intangibles, $27.3
million of trade names and trademarks and $34.2 million for a steam supply contract. None of the
intangibles has significant residual value. The intangibles are expected to be amortized over
estimated useful lives ranging from 11 to 40 years on a straight-line basis over a weighted average
life of approximately 19 years, and 15 years for tax purposes. The goodwill is expected to be
deductible for income tax purposes following the Code section 338(h) (10) election.
The following unaudited pro forma information reflects our consolidated results of operations
as if the acquisition had taken place as of the beginning of each of the periods presented. The
pro forma information includes adjustments primarily for depreciation and amortization based on the
estimated fair value of the acquired property, plant and equipment, amortization of acquired
intangibles and interest expense on the acquisition financing debt. We have added back the
minority interest in the earnings of the Solvay mill subsidiary, which interests were acquired by
Southern Container prior to our acquisition; we have eliminated certain expenses that Southern
Container historically incurred that the combined company does not expect to incur, due to changes
in employment and other contractual arrangements. During the three and six months ended March 31,
2008, we have also eliminated certain non-recurring expenses directly associated with the
acquisition including $7.1 million of inventory step up expense, $3.0 million for an acquisition
bridge financing fee, $1.9 million of unamortized financing fees from our prior credit facility and
$0.7 million of deferred compensation expense funded into escrow through a purchase price reduction
from Southern Containers stockholders. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of
the results of operations that we would have reported had the transaction actually occurred at the
beginning of these periods nor is it necessarily indicative of future results.

Prior to the acquisition, Southern Container used a 52/53 week fiscal year and reported its
results of operations in three 12-week periods and one 16-week period, with the 16-week period
being the fourth period and ending on the last Saturday of the calendar year. The unaudited pro
forma information above for the three and six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 utilizes the
condensed consolidated statements of income for Rock-Tenn for the three and six months ended March
31, 2008 and 2007 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations of Southern Container for
the 9 and 25 weeks ended March 2, 2008 and the 12 and 28 weeks ended March 24, 2007.

Note 6. Restructuring and Other Costs, Net
Summary of Restructuring and Other Initiatives
We recorded pre-tax restructuring and other costs, net, of $0.8 million and $1.2 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and recorded pre-tax restructuring
and other costs, net, of $3.8 million and $1.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2008 and
2007, respectively. These amounts are not comparable since the timing and scope of the individual
actions associated with a restructuring can vary. We discuss these charges in more detail below.
The following table presents a summary of restructuring and other charges, net, related to our
active restructuring initiatives that we incurred during the three and six months ended March 31,
2008 and 2007, the cumulative recorded amount since we announced each initiative, and the total we
expect to incur (in millions):

(a) |
|
For this Note 6, we have defined "Net property, plant and equipment as:
property, plant and equipment impairment losses, subsequent adjustments to fair value for
assets classified as held for sale, and subsequent (gains) or losses on sales of property,
plant and equipment and related parts and supplies. |
|
(b) |
|
The Consumer Packaging segment charges primarily reflect the following folding
carton plant closures recorded: Chicopee, Massachusetts (announced in fiscal 2008), Stone
Mountain, Georgia (announced and closed in fiscal 2007), Kerman, California (announced and
closed in fiscal 2006), Marshville, North Carolina (announced at the end of fiscal 2005 and
closed in fiscal 2006), and Waco, Texas (announced and closed in fiscal 2005). Although
specific circumstances vary, our strategy has generally been to consolidate our business into
large very well- |

equipped plants that operate at high utilization rates and take advantage of open capacity
created by operational excellence initiatives. We transferred a substantial portion of each
plants assets and production to our other folding carton plants. We recognized an impairment
charge primarily to reduce the carrying value of equipment to its estimated fair value or fair
value less cost to sell, and recorded charges for severance and other employee related costs.
Any subsequent change in fair value less cost to sell is recognized, however, no gain is
recognized in excess of the cumulative loss previously recorded. At the time of each announced
closure, we expected to record future charges for equipment relocation, facility carrying costs
and other employee related costs that are reflected in the table above. In fiscal 2007, we
recorded a $1.4 million charge and related liability for future lease payments when we ceased
operations at the Stone Mountain plant. The charge for the future lease payments is recorded in
the Other column in the table. |
|
(c) |
|
The Other charges primarily reflect Southern Container integration expenses of $1.1
million pre-tax and deferred compensation expense of $0.7 million pre-tax for key Southern
Container employees. We expect to recognize approximately $9 million of deferred
compensation and retention bonus expense funded through a purchase price reduction
from Southern Containers stockholders. Nearly all of these funds have been escrowed and are
primarily to be paid one year after the acquisition closing. Any of the funds forfeited by
the employees are payable to the former Southern Container stockholders. |

composed of accrued severance and other employee costs, and a reconciliation of the restructuring
accrual to the line item Restructuring and other costs, net on our condensed consolidated

Note 7. Tax Provision
The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended March 31, 2008 were approximately
37.4% and 34.7%, respectively. This is primarily due to the inclusion of a tax benefit of $1.1
million related to a tax rate reduction in Canada in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Our
effective tax rates for the three and six months ended March, 31 2007 were 37.5% and 34.4%,
respectively, which included a net tax benefit of $1.4 million recorded in the first quarter of
fiscal 2007 primarily due to research and development credits arising from the resolution of a
review by the Canadian taxing authority, the extension of the federal research and development tax
credits by the U.S. Government, and changes in estimates. We expect our marginal effective income
tax rate to be approximately 37%.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48 which prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company
should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its consolidated financial statements uncertain
tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return (including a decision
whether to file or not to file a return in a particular jurisdiction). We adopted the provisions of
FIN 48 on October 1, 2007.
As a result of our adoption of FIN 48, we recorded an increase in the liability for
unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $1.8 million. This increase was recorded as a reduction
to the October 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings. As of October 1, 2007, the gross amount of
unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $9.6 million,
10
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
exclusive of interest and penalties. Of this balance, if we were to prevail on all
unrecognized tax benefits recorded, approximately $4.3 million of the $9.6 million reserve would
benefit the effective tax rate. We regularly evaluate, assess and adjust the related liabilities in
light of changing facts and circumstances, which could cause the effective tax rate to fluctuate
from period to period.
We recognize interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax
expense in the consolidated statements of income, which is consistent with the recognition of these
items in prior reporting periods. As of October 1, 2007, we had a recorded liability of $1.3
million for the payment of interest and penalties related to the FIN 48 liability for unrecognized
tax benefits.
We file federal, state and local income tax returns in the U.S. and various foreign
jurisdictions. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or
non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to fiscal 2001.
Note 8. Inventories
We value substantially all of our U.S. inventories at the lower of cost or market, with cost
determined on the last-in first-out (LIFO) inventory valuation method, which we believe generally
results in a better matching of current costs and revenues than under the first-in first-out
(FIFO) inventory valuation method. In periods of increasing costs, the LIFO method generally
results in higher cost of goods sold than under the FIFO method. In periods of decreasing costs,
the results are generally the opposite. Because LIFO is designed for annual determinations, it is
possible to make an actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method only at the end of each
fiscal year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, we base interim
LIFO estimates on managements projection of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. We
value all other inventories at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using methods
which approximate cost computed on a FIFO basis. These other inventories represent primarily
foreign inventories and spare parts inventories. Inventories were as follows (in millions):

facilities, may be paid down earlier than scheduled at our discretion without penalty. Included in
the current portion of debt at March 31, 2008 and September 30, 2007 is an amount of $15.0 million
to reflect amounts required to support normal working capital needs.
For a discussion of certain of our debt characteristics, see Note 10. Debt of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements section of the Fiscal 2007 Form 10-K. Other than the items noted
below, there have been no significant developments.
|
|
|
(a) |
|
On March 5, 2008, we issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.25% senior
notes due March 2016 in an unregistered offering pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). The unsecured notes
were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 5, 2008 (the Indenture), by and
among Rock-Tenn, the guarantors listed therein (comprising most of our subsidiaries which
are guarantors under the Credit Facility) and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as
Trustee. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of notes that we may |
12
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
|
|
|
|
|
issue and it provides for the issuance from time to time of additional notes to be issued by
us in one or more series as provided in the Indenture, subject to compliance with certain
conditions therein. The Indenture contains financial and restrictive covenants, including
limitations on: restricted payments, dividend and other payments affecting restricted
subsidiaries (as defined therein), incurrence of debt, asset sales, transactions with
affiliates, liens, sale and leaseback transactions and the creation of unrestricted
subsidiaries. Interest on our 9.25% notes due 2016 is payable in arrears on March 15 and
September 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2008. |
|
(b) |
|
On March 5, 2008, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Credit
Facility) which replaced our June 6, 2005 Senior Credit Facility. The Credit Facility
includes revolving credit, swing, term loan, and letters of credit facilities with an
aggregate original maximum principal amount of $1.2 billion consisting of a $450 million
revolving credit facility, a $550 million term loan A facility and a $200 million term loan
B facility. The Credit Facility provides for up to $100.0 million in loans to a Canadian
subsidiary. At March 31, 2008, there were $36.2 million in borrowings by the Canadian
subsidiary, predominantly denominated in Canadian dollars. As scheduled term loan payments
or other prepayments are made, the facility size is reduced by those notional amounts.
As of March 31, 2008, the facility has not been reduced. At March 31, 2008, we
would have been able to borrow an incremental $254.3 million, under the revolving credit
portion of the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility is pre-payable at any time. The
revolving credit facility and term loan A facility are scheduled to mature on the earlier
to occur of (a) March 5, 2013 or (b) if our $100 million 5.625% senior public notes due
March 2013 (the 2013 Senior Notes) have not been paid in full or refinanced by September
15, 2012, then September 15, 2012; the term loan B facility is scheduled to mature on the
earlier to occur of (a) March 5, 2014 or (b) if the 2013 Senior Notes have not been paid in
full or refinanced by September 15, 2012, then September 15, 2012. At March 31, 2008, we
had issued aggregate outstanding letters of credit under this facility of approximately
$35.3 million, none of which had been drawn upon. At our option, borrowings under the
Credit Facility (other than swingline and Canadian dollar loans) bear interest at either
(1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin (LIBOR Loans) or (2) the base rate, which will be the
higher of the prime commercial lending rate of the U.S. Administrative Agent plus an
applicable margin or the Federal Funds Rate for Federal Reserve System overnight borrowing
transactions plus an applicable margin (Base Rate Loans). The following table
summarizes the applicable margins and percentages related to the revolving credit facility
and term loan A of the Credit Facility: |

The applicable margin for determining the interest rate of the term loan B is fixed at 1.75%

Our obligations under the Credit Facility and under certain hedging agreements entered into
between any lender or affiliate thereof and any U.S. Credit Party, as defined in the Credit
Facility documentation, are unconditionally guaranteed by each of our present U.S.
subsidiaries, other than (1) the following unrestricted subsidiaries: Dominion Paperboard
Products Ltd., GraphCorr LLC, Rock-Tenn Financial, Inc., RTS Embalajes de Argentina, RTS
Embalajes De Chile Limitada, RTS Empaques, S.De R.L. CV, RTS Packaging Foreign Holdings,
LLC, RTS Packaging, LLC, Schiffenhaus California, LLC, Schiffenhaus Canada Inc., and (2)
Solvay Paperboard LLC, a subsidiary of Southern Container (unless any refinancing of
certain Solvay Paperboard LLC bonds permits such guarantee, in which case Solvay Paperboard
LLC will become a guarantor), and partially by our present Canadian subsidiaries. Future
subsidiaries will be required to guarantee the obligations under the Credit Facility unless
we designate them as unrestricted subsidiaries. Obligations under the Credit Facility are
secured by a first priority security interest in a substantial portion of our assets,
including the capital stock or other equity interests and indebtedness of |

certain of our U.S. subsidiaries, certain of the stock of our first tier Canadian subsidiary

The Credit Facility includes usual and customary affirmative and negative covenants,
including maintenance of financial ratios and restrictions on the creation of additional
long-term and short-term debt, the creation or existence of certain liens, the occurrence of
certain mergers, acquisitions or disposals of assets and certain leasing arrangements, the
occurrence of certain fundamental changes in the primary nature of our consolidated
business, the nature of certain investments, and other matters. Financial covenants include
maintenance of a maximum Leverage Ratio of 5.00 to 1.00 (which decreases to 3.50 to 1.00
over the term of the loans), a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of 2.70 to 1.00
(which increases to 3.50 to 1.00 over the term of the loans), and a minimum Consolidated Net
Worth of not less than the sum of $525.0 million plus 50% of cumulative Consolidated Net
Income (in each case as defined in the Credit Facility documentation). We are permitted
under our Credit Facility to repurchase our capital stock and pay cash dividends. If on a
pro forma basis our Leverage Ratio does not exceed 3.00 to 1.00, no default or event of
default exists under the Credit Facility and we are able to incur an additional $1.00 of
funded debt under the debt and financial covenants in the Credit Facility documentation, we
are permitted to make purchases and dividend declarations in the aggregate amount up to 50%
of cumulative Consolidated Net Income from April 1, 2008 through the last day of the most
recent fiscal quarter end for which financial statements have been delivered. If on a pro
forma basis our Leverage Ratio is greater than 3.00 to 1.00, no default or event of default
exists under the Credit Facility and we are able to incur an additional $1.00 of funded debt
under the debt and financial covenants in the Credit Facility documentation, the aggregate
amount of purchases and dividend declarations shall not exceed $30.0 million per year. |

On November 16, 2007, we amended the 364-day receivables-backed financing facility
(Receivables Facility") to increase the size of the facility from $100.0 million to $110.0
million and to set it to expire on November 15, 2008. Accordingly, such borrowings are
classified as current at March 31, 2008 and non-current at September 30, 2007. Borrowing
availability under this facility is based on the eligible underlying receivables. At March
31, 2008 and September 30, 2007, maximum available borrowings under this facility were
approximately $110.0 million and $100.0 million, respectively. The borrowing rate, which
consists of the market rate for asset-backed commercial paper plus a utilization fee, was
3.44% and 5.49% as of March 31, 2008 and September 30, 2007, respectively. In April 2008,
our board of directors approved the increase of our Receivables Facility from $110.0
million to $200.0 million. We expect to act upon the approval later in the year. |

Cash payable to sellers is for the repayment of cash held to support the Solvay
industrial development revenue bonds (Solvay IDBs) and reimbursements to the sellers for
taxes related to the Code section 338(h) (10) election. These items are due November 2008
and are classified as current. |
|
(e) |
|
The industrial development revenue bonds are issued by various municipalities in which
we maintain facilities. Each series of bonds is secured by direct pay letter of credit, or
collateralized by a mortgage interest and collateral interest in specific property or a
combination thereof. As of March 31, 2008, the outstanding amount of direct pay letters of
credit supporting all industrial development revenue bonds was $33.1 million, including
$11.4 million related to the Solvay IDBs. The letters of credit are renewable at our
request so long as no default or event of default has occurred under the Credit Facility. A
remarketing agent offers the variable rate bonds for initial sale and uses its best efforts
to remarket the bonds until they are repaid. The remarketing agent also periodically
determines the interest rates on the variable rate bonds based on prevailing market
conditions. Our variable rate industrial development revenue bonds are remarketed on a
periodic basis upon demand of the bondholders. If the remarketing agent is unable to
successfully remarket the variable rate bonds, the remarketing agent will repurchase the
bonds by drawing on the letters of credit. If this were to occur, the issuing lender would
immediately be reimbursed with the proceeds of a revolving loan obtained under the Credit
Facility. Accordingly, we have classified the industrial development revenue bonds as
non-current, except for $2.5 million classified as current at September 30, 2007 because we
expected to redeem the bonds during fiscal 2008. They were redeemed in the first quarter
of fiscal 2008. On March 5, 2008 we assumed Solvay IDBs totaling $132.3 million in
connection with the Southern Container Acquisition. The Solvay IDBs comprise two different
series: the 1998 Series (which has $19.7 million maturing in 2014 and $101.2 million
maturing in 2030) and the 2000 Series (which matures in 2011 due to previous accelerated
sinking fund payments), and are subject to annual sinking fund payments. The next annual
sinking fund payments are $2.3 million and $3.8 million for the 1998 Series and 2000
Series, respectively. The 1998 series annual sinking fund payment increases nominally each
year until maturity. The principal balance of the 1998 Series bonds and the 2000 Series |
14
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

|
|
|
|
bonds are $120.9 million and $11.4 million, respectively, at March 31, 2008. The 1998
Series has fixed semi-annual interest rates that average 6.97% and the 2000 Series had a
variable interest rate of 3.40% in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The Solvay IDBs can be
redeemed at 102% of par beginning in November 2008. The Solvay IDBs also have extensive
affirmative, negative and restricted payments covenants which require certain minimum
working capital and cash flow requirements, and limit our ability to utilize the restricted
cash governed by the indentures. The Solvay IDBs are secured by a payment of debt service to
the municipality by us. Each series of bonds may also be secured by a combination of direct
pay letters of credit and collateralized by a mortgage interest in land, building and other
assets comprising the mill facility, and a collateral interest in specific property,
including equipment, accounts receivable, inventory and other personal property. |
Interest on our 8.20% notes due August 2011 is payable in arrears each February and August.
Interest on our 5.625% notes due March 2013 is payable in arrears each September and March.
Interest on our 9.25% notes due March 2016 is payable in arrears each September and March. The
2011 and 2013 notes now share, on a pro-rata basis, certain of the same collateral that was
provided to the Credit Facility lenders (i.e., any principal property of Rock-Tenn or any
subsidiaries, or any shares of capital stock or other equity interests or indebtedness of any
subsidiaries). The 2016 notes are unsecured. These notes are redeemable prior to maturity subject
to certain rules and restrictions and are not subject to any sinking fund requirements. The
indenture related to these notes restricts us and our subsidiaries from incurring certain liens and
entering into certain sale and leaseback transactions, subject to a number of exceptions.
As of March 31, 2008, the aggregate maturities of debt for the remaining fiscal year and

Interest Rate Swaps
We are exposed to changes in interest rates as a result of our debt. We use interest rate swap
instruments from time to time to manage the interest rate characteristics of portions of our
outstanding debt. On January 31, 2008, we entered into two forward starting floating-to-fixed
interest rate swaps of an initial notional amount aggregating $550.0 million with a commencement
date of April 1, 2008. These swaps are tiered and the notional amounts will decline through April
2012. These swaps are based on the one-month LIBOR rate, and the fixed rates average 3.11%, plus
the applicable credit margin then in effect. We have designated these swaps as cash flow hedges of
the interest rate exposure on an equivalent amount of certain floating rate debt we incurred to
finance the Southern Container Acquisition.
Periodically we may terminate or sell our interest rate swaps. Upon termination or sale of any
cash flow swaps, any amounts received (or paid) are generally not immediately recognized as income
but remain in Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) and are amortized to earnings, as interest income
(or expense), over the remaining term of the originally hedged item. The cash received (or paid) as
a result of terminating the hedges is classified, in the statement of cash flows, in the same
category as the cash flows relating to the items being hedged. At September 30, 2007, we had
interest rate swap agreements in place with an aggregate notional amount of $200.0 million. We
previously designated those swaps as cash flow hedges of the interest rate exposure on an
equivalent amount of our floating rate debt. In October 2007, we paid $3.5 million to terminate all
of our then open interest rate swaps.

Note 10. Retirement Plans
We have five qualified defined benefit pension plans. In addition, under several labor
contracts, we make payments based on hours worked into multi-employer pension plan trusts
established for the benefit of certain collective bargaining employees in facilities both inside
and outside the United States. We have a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan that provides
unfunded supplemental retirement benefits to certain of our executives. The following table

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2008 we contributed an aggregate of $8.7
million and $11.6 million, respectively, to our five defined benefit pension plans (U.S. Qualified
Plans). Based on our current assumptions, we anticipate contributing the projected required
minimum funding of approximately $16 million and approximately $18 million in fiscal 2008 and 2009,
respectively, to the U.S. Qualified Plans. However, it is possible that we may decide to
contribute greater amounts. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2007 we contributed an
aggregate of $4.6 million and $4.6 million, respectively, to our U.S. Qualified Plans.

Our results of operations include compensation expense for stock options for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 of $0.4 million and $0.04 million, respectively (net of approximately
$0.2 million and $0.02 million, respectively, of income taxes); and for the six months ended March
31, 2008 and 2007 include $0.7 million and $0.08 million, respectively (net of approximately $0.4
million and $0.05 million, respectively, of income taxes). The aggregate intrinsic value of options
exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $1.3 million and $19.7 million,
respectively, and during the six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 it was $1.3 million and $33.0
million, respectively.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, we granted options to purchase 307,734 shares of
stock to certain employees. These options vest over three years. These grants were valued using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The significant assumptions used were: an expected term
of 5.02 years, an expected volatility of 37.82%, expected dividends of 1.48% and a risk free rate
of 2.36%. We amortize these costs using the accelerated attribution method. As of March 31, 2008,
there was $4.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options
that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining vesting period of approximately
1.5 years.

The majority of the fiscal 2008 target awards may be increased to 150% of the
target or decreased to zero, subject to the level of performance attained. The awards are
reflected in the table at the target award amount of 100%. |
Our results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2008 includes $1.5
million and $2.8 million, respectively, of compensation expense for restricted stock; and for the
three and six months ended March 31, 2007 includes $1.6 million and $3.1 million, respectively, of
compensation expense for restricted stock including the acceleration of expense discussed below.
The awards granted in fiscal 2004 and 2005 are subject to earlier vesting in one third increments
on the first, second and third anniversary of the grant date upon satisfaction of certain earnings
improvement criteria specific to each award. The measurement date for early vesting of all of
these awards is March 31 of the respective year. In the first quarter of fiscal 2007 we
accelerated recognition of compensation expense as we determined it was probable that the latter
two-thirds of the fiscal 2004 awards and first two-thirds of the fiscal 2005 awards would satisfy
the early vesting provisions on March 31, 2007, and that the last third of the fiscal 2005 award
would satisfy the early vesting provisions on March 31, 2008.
During the six months ended March 31, 2008, 83,165 shares of restricted stock vested. In the
second quarter of fiscal 2008, 18,000 non-employee director awards granted in fiscal 2007 vested.
At March 31, 2008, the last third of the fiscal 2005 awards met the early vesting provisions and
65,165 shares vested.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, 25,000 shares of restricted stock, which vest over
one year, were granted to our non-employee directors and target awards of 229,625 shares of
restricted stock were granted to certain employees pursuant to our 2004 Incentive Stock Plan, as
amended. The second quarter fiscal 2008 employee grants consisted of:
|
|
|
A target award of 129,075 shares that contains a performance condition based on the
level of our Debt to EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the applicable grant letter). Certain
percentages of the target award will be issued as of the end of the first 12 month
period upon the attainment of certain Debt to EBITDA Ratios. Subject to the level of
performance attained, the target award may be increased to 150% of target or decreased
to zero. |
|
|
|
|
A target award of 46,825 shares that contains a performance condition based on the
annual average return over capital costs (ROCC). The target award will be adjusted
based on our ROCC performance for the thirty-six months ended December 31, 2010 compared
to the ROCC performance of our Peer Group (as defined in the applicable grant letter).
Subject to the level of performance attained, the target award may be increased to 150%
of the target or decreased to zero. |
|
|
|
|
A target award of 46,825 shares that contains a market condition based on the
percentage return on Common Stock purchased on January 2, 2008 and held through
December 31, 2010, including reinvestment of all dividends paid thereon during such
period (the Total Shareholder Return). The target award will be adjusted based on our
Total Shareholder Return for the thirty-six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to
the Total Shareholder Return performance of our Peer Group (as defined). Subject to the
level of performance attained, the target award may be increased to 150% of the target
or decreased to zero. |
17
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
|
|
|
A target award of 6,900 shares that contains a performance condition based on the
operating income of one of our segments. The target award may be adjusted based on the
attainment of certain operating income levels during the 12 months ended December 31,
2008. Subject to the level of performance obtained, the target award may be increased to
125% of the target or decreased to zero. |
The first three target awards, as described above, will vest at the percent of target achieved
upon completion of service to March 19, 2011, unless forfeited before such date. The last target
award, as described above, will vest at the percent of target achieved upon completion of service
to March 19, 2009, unless forfeited before such date. Expense is recognized on the shares granted
with a performance condition and service condition on a straight-line basis over the explicit
service period because we estimate that it is probable the performance condition will be satisfied.
Expense is recognized on the shares granted with a market condition and service condition on a
straight-line basis over the requisite service period which is based on the explicit service
period. The restricted stock grants with a market condition were valued using a Monte Carlo
simulation at $38.85 per share. The significant assumptions used in valuing these grants were: an
expected volatility of 42.3%, expected dividends of 1.4%, and a risk free rate of 1.68%. We
estimated the expected forfeiture rate to be 4.7%.
There was approximately $18.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to all
unvested restricted shares as of March 31, 2008 that will be recognized over a weighted average
remaining vesting period of 2.2 years.
Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental and Other Matters
We are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and
regulations, including, among others, CERCLA, the Clean Air Act (as amended in 1990), the Clean
Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and the Toxic Substances Control Act. These
environmental regulatory programs are primarily administered by the US Environmental Protection
Agency. In addition, some states in which we operate have adopted equivalent or more stringent
environmental laws and regulations or have enacted their own parallel environmental programs, which
are enforced through various state administrative agencies.
We believe that future compliance with these environmental laws and regulations will not have
a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
However, our compliance and remediation costs could increase materially. In addition, we cannot
currently assess with certainty the impact that the future emissions standards and enforcement
practices associated with changes to regulations promulgated under the Clean Air Act will have on
our operations or capital expenditure requirements. However, we believe that any impact or capital
expenditures will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial
condition or cash flows.
We have been identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) at nine active superfund
sites pursuant to Superfund legislation. Based upon currently available information and the
opinions of our environmental compliance managers and general counsel, although there can be no
assurance, we have reached the following conclusions with respect to these nine sites:
|
|
|
With respect to one site, while we have been identified as a PRP, our records reflect no
evidence that we are associated with the site. Accordingly, if we are considered to be a
PRP, we believe that we should be categorized as an unproven PRP. |
|
|
|
|
With respect to each of eight sites, we preliminarily determined that, while we may be
associated with the site and while it is probable that we have incurred a liability with
respect to the site, one of the following conclusions was applicable: |
|
|
|
With respect to each of six sites, we determined while it was not estimable, the
potential liability was reasonably likely to be a de minimis amount and immaterial. |
|
|
|
|
With respect to one site, we have preliminarily determined the potential liability
was best reflected by a range of reasonably possible liabilities, all of which we
expect to be de minimis and immaterial. |
18
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
|
|
|
With respect to one site, we have preliminarily determined that it is probable that
we have incurred a liability with respect to this site. The status of the site is
unknown, pending further investigation. |
In addition to the above mentioned sites, four of our current or former locations are being
investigated under various state regulations. These investigations may lead to remediation costs;
however, we believe any such costs, if any, would be insignificant. Additional information on the
four sites follows:
|
|
|
Contamination was discovered at the time of the Gulf States acquisition in June 2005 at
two sites we acquired. We did not assume any environmental liabilities as part of the
acquisition, but have limited indemnification rights with respect to this contamination.
We would expect to assert various defenses under applicable laws with respect to this
contamination. |
|
|
|
|
One of these sites is one of our former locations that is involved in an investigation
under the state hazardous waste sites program. It is expected that any potential issues
will be handled through administrative controls, such as a deed restriction, rather than
remediation. |
|
|
|
|
It is believed that the contamination discovered at one of the sites was due to an oil
release by a previous owner. The previous owner is obligated to indemnify us for any
contamination caused by the oil release. |
Except as stated above, we can make no assessment of our potential liability, if any, with
respect to any site. Further, there can be no assurance that we will not be required to conduct
some remediation in the future at any of these sites and that the remediation will not have a
material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. We
believe that we can assert claims for indemnification pursuant to existing rights we have under
settlement and purchase agreements in connection with certain of these sites. There can be no
assurance that we will be successful with respect to any claim regarding these indemnification
rights or that, if we are successful, any amounts paid pursuant to the indemnification rights will
be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2008 we received approximately $1.7 million in recovery of
previously expensed environmental remediation costs from a third party for a site we previously
acquired. The recovery reduced the line item cost of goods sold on our condensed consolidated
statements of income.
Guarantees
We have made the following guarantees as of March 31, 2008:
|
|
|
We have a 49% ownership interest in Seven Hills. The partners guarantee funding of net
losses in proportion to their share of ownership. |
|
|
|
|
As part of the Southern Container Acquisition we have an unconsolidated subsidiary for
which we guarantee certain debt in an amount less than $5 million. |
|
|
|
|
We lease certain manufacturing and warehousing facilities and equipment under various
operating leases. A substantial number of these leases require us to indemnify the lessor
in the event that additional taxes are assessed due to a change in the tax law. We are
unable to estimate our maximum exposure under these leases because it is dependent on
changes in the tax law. |
Over the past several years, we have disposed of assets and/or subsidiaries and have retained
liabilities. The related agreements contain representations and warranties relating to matters
such as title to assets; accuracy of financial statements; legal proceedings; contracts; employee
benefit plans; compliance with environmental laws; patent and trademark infringement; taxes; and
products, as well as various covenants. These agreements may also provide specific indemnities for
breaches of representations, warranties, or covenants and may contain specific indemnification
provisions. These indemnification provisions address potential losses, including, among others,
losses related to liabilities other than those assumed by the buyer and liabilities under
environmental laws. These indemnification provisions may be affected by various conditions and
external factors. Many of the indemnification provisions have expired either by operation of law
or by the terms of the agreement. Our specified maximum aggregate potential liability (on an
undiscounted basis) is approximately $7.6 million, other than with respect to certain specified
liabilities, including liabilities relating to title, taxes, and certain environmental matters,
with respect to which there may be no limitation. We estimate the fair value of our aggregate
liability for outstanding indemnities,
19
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
including the indemnities described above with respect to which there are no limitations, to
be approximately $0.1 million. Accordingly, we have recorded a liability for that amount.
Insurance Placed with Kemper
During fiscal 1985 through 2002, Kemper Insurance Companies/Lumbermens Mutual provided us with
workers compensation insurance, auto liability insurance and general liability insurance. Kemper
has made public statements that they are uncertain that they will be able to pay all of their
claims liabilities in the future. At present, based on public comments made by Kemper, we believe
it is reasonably possible they will not be able to pay some or all of the future liabilities
associated with our open and reopened claims. However, we cannot reasonably estimate the amount
that Kemper may be unable to pay. Additionally, we cannot reasonably estimate the impact of state
guarantee funds and any facultative and treaty reinsurance that may be available to pay such
liabilities. If Kemper is ultimately unable to pay such liabilities, we believe the range of our
liability is between approximately $0 and $2 million, and we are unable to estimate the liability
more specifically because of the factors described above. There can be no assurance that any
associated liabilities we may ultimately incur will not be material to our results of operations,
financial condition or cash flows.
Note Receivable
We have a note payable to and a note receivable from an obligor who has filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection. We have offset these notes on our condensed consolidated balance sheets for
the periods ending March 31, 2008 and September 30, 2007. Based on the terms of the note, we do
not believe that it is probable a loss will be incurred. If we ultimately do suffer a loss, we
believe the loss could range from $0 to $3 million.
Seven Hills Option
Seven Hills commenced operations on March 29, 2001. Our partner has the option to put its
interest in Seven Hills to us, at a formula price, effective on the sixth or any subsequent
anniversary of the commencement date by providing notice to purchase its interest no later than two
years prior to the anniversary of the commencement date on which such transaction is to occur. No
notification has been received from our partner to date. Therefore, the earliest date at which a
put could be completed would be March 29, 2011. We have not recorded any liability for our
partners right to put its interest in Seven Hills. We currently project this contingent obligation
to purchase our partners interest (based on the formula) to be approximately $17 million at March
31, 2008, which would result in a purchase price of approximately 60% of our partners net equity
reflected on Seven Hills March 31, 2008 balance sheet.

Note 13. Segment Information
In the first quarter of fiscal 2008 we changed the name of our Packaging Products segment to
Consumer Packaging to more clearly describe the segment and we reorganized our segments to move our
St. Paul, MN recycled corrugated medium mill into our Corrugated Packaging segment in the second
quarter of fiscal 2008. The financial statements presented have been reclassified for all periods
presented to reflect this reorganization. We have included the results of Southern Containers
operations in our condensed consolidated financial statements since the March 2, 2008 acquisition
effective date in our Corrugated Packaging segment.
The following table shows certain operating data for our segments (in millions). We do not
allocate certain of our income and expenses to our segments and, thus, the information that
management uses to make operating decisions and assess performance does not reflect such amounts.
We report these items as non-allocated expenses or in other line items in the table below after
Total segment income.

The goodwill acquired is primarily associated with the Southern Container Acquisition. In the
second quarter of fiscal 2008 we reorganized our segments to move the St. Paul, MN recycled
corrugated medium mill into our Corrugated Packaging segment from our Paperboard segment. The
goodwill was reassigned to the reporting units affected based on their relative fair value. The
balances as of September 30, 2007 in the table above reflect the reclassification of $18.5 million
of goodwill from the Paperboard segment to the Corrugated Packaging segment.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto, included herein and our audited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, as well as the
information under the heading Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations, that are part of our Fiscal 2007 Form 10-K, which we filed with the SEC on
November 28, 2007. The table in Note 13. Segment Information of the Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements section of the Financial Statements included herein shows certain
operating data for our segments.
Overview
On March 5, 2008, we acquired Southern Container Corp., an integrated manufacturer of
containerboard and corrugated packaging that we believe has one of the lowest system costs and the
highest EBITDA margins of any major integrated containerboard company in North America. Southern
Container consisted primarily of a 720,000 ton per year containerboard mill, eight integrated
corrugated box plants, two sheet plants and four high impact graphics facilities. With the
acquisition, Rock-Tenn becomes the eighth largest manufacturer of containerboard in North America,
and continues as one of Americas leading manufacturers of bleached and recycled paperboard with
annual capacity of approximately 2.3 million tons of paperboard and containerboard and pro forma
annual revenues of approximately $3.0 billion. The acquisition adds highly integrated low cost
assets to our Corrugated Packaging segment. The Solvay Mill is highly integrated with Southern
Containers box plant system. Approximately 69% of Solvays shipments are integrated either
through direct sales or trade swaps. Our St. Paul corrugated medium mill, by comparison, is
approximately two-thirds integrated primarily through trade swaps. Including the acquisition, we
produce approximately 900,000 tons of containerboard annually and will consume approximately
760,000 tons of containerboard. We have included the results of Southern Containers operations in
our financial statements since that the March 2nd effective date in our Corrugated
Packaging segment. We financed the acquisition with $1.2 billion of new senior secured credit
facilities and $200 million of 9.25% senior notes due March 2016. See Note 5. Acquisitions and
Note 9. Debt, respectively, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements section
of the Financial Statements included herein.
Net income decreased $4.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to the
second quarter of fiscal 2007 primarily as a result of specific pre-tax charges aggregating $13.7
million relating to the Southern Container Acquisition. These charges consisted of $7.1 million of
acquisition inventory step up expense, $3.0 million for an acquisition bridge financing fee, $1.8
million of unamortized financing fees from our prior credit facility, $1.1 million of integration
costs and $0.7 million of deferred compensation expense funded into escrow through a purchase price
reduction from Southern Containers stockholders. Acquisition accounting required us to step up
the value of the inventory acquired which effectively eliminates the profit that we realize upon
the sale of that inventory. This write up reduced our pre-tax income as the acquired inventory was
sold and charged to cost of sales. We expect the third quarter of fiscal 2008 to be negatively
impacted by approximately $3 million as the remaining acquired inventory is sold. Additionally, we
expect to expense approximately $8 million of additional deferred compensation and retention bonus
expense funded into escrow through a purchase price reduction from Southern Containers
stockholders over the next eleven months. Operating profit increased $2.1 million in the second
quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2007 based on higher earnings in
our Consumer Packaging and Merchandising Displays operations. Sales in each of our business
segments increased reflecting higher volumes and increased sales prices. Average recycled fiber
costs, chemical costs and freight costs were higher in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 than in
the prior year quarter.

Net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 increased $100.2 million compared to the second
quarter of fiscal 2007 primarily due to the Southern Container Acquisition, which contributed net
sales of $51.5 million, and to increased volume and pricing, primarily in our Consumer Packaging,
Merchandising Displays and Paperboard segments.
Net sales in the six months ended March 31, 2008 increased $162.6 million compared to the six
months ended March 31, 2007 primarily due to increased volume and pricing, primarily in our
Consumer Packaging, Merchandising Displays and Paperboard segments and the Southern Container
Acquisition, which contributed net sales of $51.5 million.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales increased in the second quarter of fiscal 2008
compared to the prior year second quarter primarily as rising material costs and the impact of the
inventory step up described above were partially offset by the higher margin Southern Container
sales. Average recycled fiber costs increased $30 per ton over the prior year quarter. We believe
recycled fiber costs in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 decreased pre-tax income by approximately
$8.1 million compared to the prior year quarter. Excluding the impact of Southern Container, in the current year quarter we
experienced increased energy costs of approximately $3.8 million and increased freight expense of
$3.0 million. Partially offsetting these amounts, we incurred reduced pension expense of $1.2
million, excluding Southern Container.
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales increased in the six months ended March 31,
2008 compared to the prior year period primarily due to rising material costs and the impact of the
acquisition inventory step up costs which more than offset the 29 days of higher margin Southern
Container sales included in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Average recycled fiber costs
increased $39 per ton over the prior year period. We believe recycled fiber costs in the first six
months of fiscal 2008 decreased pre-tax income by approximately $20.8 million compared to the prior
year period. Excluding the impact of Southern Container, in the six months ended March 31, 2008 we experienced increased energy
costs of approximately $5.7 million, increased freight expense of $3.2 million and increased
workers compensation expense of $1.1 million. We also experienced higher costs associated with our
Dallas mill due to a dryer section failure and rebuild in December 2007. Partially offsetting
these amounts, during the first six months of fiscal 2008, excluding
Southern Container, we received approximately $1.7 million
in recovery of previously expensed environmental remediation costs and incurred reduced pension
expense of $2.4 million.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased as a percentage of net sales
in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2007 due primarily to
increased employee compensation expenses and increased bad debt expense. SG&A expenses in the
second quarter of fiscal 2008 were
24
$11.8 million higher than in the prior year second quarter due primarily to the SG&A from the
Southern Container Acquisition. Excluding the impact of Southern
Container, SG&A salaries increased $1.6 million, commissions expense
increased $1.3 million on increased sales, and bonus expense increased $1.3 million.
SG&A expenses decreased as a percentage of net sales in the six months ended March 31, 2008
compared to the six months ended March 31, 2007 due primarily to increased net sales from higher
volumes and prices. SG&A expenses in the first six months of fiscal 2008 were $15.7 million higher
than in the prior year period due primarily to the SG&A associated with the Southern Container
locations we acquired. Excluding the impact of Southern
Container, SG&A salaries increased $3.1 million, commissions expense increased $2.1
million on increased sales, and bonus expense increased $0.9 million.
Restructuring and Other Costs, Net
We recorded aggregate pre-tax restructuring and other costs of $0.8 million and $1.2 million
in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively. We recorded aggregate pre-tax
restructuring and other costs of $3.8 million and $1.7 million in the six months ended March 31,
2008 and 2007, respectively. We discuss these charges in more detail in Note 6. Restructuring and
Other Costs, Net of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements section of the
Financial Statements included herein and incorporated herein by reference.
Equity in Income (Loss) of Unconsolidated Entities
Equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated entities in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was
income of $0.2 million compared to income of $0.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. The
second quarter of fiscal 2008 includes our share of our Seven Hills, DSA and QPSI investments as
well as 29 days of our Pohlig and Greenpine investments acquired in the Southern Container
Acquisition. The second quarter of fiscal 2007 includes our share of our Seven Hills and QPSI
investments.
Equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated entities in the six months ended March 31, 2008 was
a loss of $0.1 million compared to income of $0.7 million in the six months ended March 31, 2007.
The six months of fiscal 2008 includes our share of our Seven Hills, DSA and QPSI investments as
well as 29 days of our Pohlig and Greenpine investments acquired in the Southern Container
Acquisition. The six months ended March 31, 2007 includes our share of our Seven Hills investment
and four months of our QPSI investment.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 increased $9.3 million to $21.6 million
from $12.3 million for the same quarter last year as a result of the Southern Container
Acquisition. Included in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was a $3.0 million bridge financing fee
and $1.9 million of deferred financing expenses from our prior credit facility. The increase in
our average outstanding borrowings increased interest expense by approximately $4.0 million and
interest rates, net of swaps, were relatively unchanged and increased interest expense by
approximately $0.1 million. Additionally, increased deferred financing cost amortization accounted
for $0.3 million.
Interest expense for the six months ended March 31, 2008 increased $8.1 million to $33.4
million from $25.3 million for the same quarter last year. The increase in interest expense was a
result of the Southern Container Acquisition we closed in March 2008. Included in the six months
of fiscal 2008 were bridge financing and deferred financing expenses aggregating $4.9 million
associated with the transaction. The increase in our average outstanding borrowings increased
interest expense by approximately $2.9 million. Increased deferred financing cost amortization
accounted for $0.3 million.
Interest
and Other Income, net
Interest and other income, net for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was $0.1 million and interest
income for the six months ended March 31, 2007 was $0.2 million.
25
Minority Interest in Income of Consolidated Subsidiaries
In January 2007 we acquired the remaining 40% minority interest in Fold-Pak. Minority interest
in income of our consolidated subsidiaries for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 increased to $1.2
million from $1.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 primarily as a result of the
addition of businesses acquired in the Southern Container Acquisition, which approximately offset
the prior year Fold-Pak amount. Minority interest in income of our consolidated subsidiaries for
the six months ended March 31, 2008 decreased to $2.1 million from $3.0 million in the six months
ended March 31, 2007 primarily as a result of our acquisition of the remaining 40% minority
interest in Fold-Pak in January 2007, which was partially offset by an increase as a result of the
addition of businesses acquired in the Southern Container Acquisition. Earnings at our RTS
subsidiary for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2008 were relatively flat compared to
the prior year quarter and prior year first half.
Provision for Income Taxes
We recorded income tax expense of $10.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 compared
to $13.0 million in the second quarter of last year. The second quarter of fiscal 2008 and 2007
effective rate was approximately 37.4% and 37.5%, respectively.
Income tax expense was $18.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $19.3
million in the same period last year. The effective rate for the six months ended March 31, 2008
was approximately 34.7%, which was primarily due to the inclusion of a tax benefit of $1.1 million
related to a tax rate reduction in Canada in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Our effective tax
rate for the six months ended March 31, 2007 was approximately 34.4%, which included a net tax
benefit of $1.4 million recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 primarily due research and
development credits arising from the resolution of a review by the Canadian taxing authority, the
extension of the federal research and development tax credits by the U.S. Government, and changes
in estimates. We expect our marginal effective income tax rate to be approximately 37%.

Net Sales (Consumer Packaging Segment)
The 7.4% and 7.7% increase in net sales for the Consumer Packaging segment for the second
quarter and first six months of fiscal 2008, respectively, compared to the prior year second
quarter and first six months was due to higher sales of folding cartons and interior packaging
products due to increases in volume and prices representing pass through of higher paperboard
costs.
Segment Income (Consumer Packaging Segment)
Segment income of the Consumer Packaging segment for the quarter ended March 31, 2008
increased 25.2% compared to the prior year second quarter primarily due to productivity
improvements and operating efficiencies, and sales price increases to recover previous cost
increases.
26
Segment income of the Consumer Packaging segment for the six months ended March 31, 2008
increased 31.9% compared to the six months ended March 31, 2007 primarily due to productivity
improvements and operating efficiencies, and sales price increases to recover previous cost
increases, and decreased pension expense of $1.3 million.

Net Sales (Paperboard Segment)
Our Paperboard segment net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 increased 11.1% compared
to the second quarter of fiscal 2007 due to higher pricing across all paperboard grades. Bleached paperboard
and market pulp tons shipped increased 3.3% and 12.9%, respectively, and recycled paperboard tons
shipped increased 2.7%.
27
Paperboard segment net sales in the six months ended March 31, 2008 increased 11.7% compared
to the six months ended March 31, 2007 primarily due to the factors stated above.
Segment Income (Paperboard Segment)
Segment income attributable to the Paperboard segment for the second quarter of fiscal 2008
decreased $1.2 million compared to the prior year second quarter primarily due to rising fiber and
energy costs. Average recycled fiber costs increased approximately $8.1 million, or $30 per ton,
over the prior year quarter. Energy costs increased approximately $3.6 million, freight expense
increased $1.1 million, and bad debt expense increased $1.0 million. These higher costs were
largely offset by increases in selling prices over the prior year quarter.
Segment income attributable to the Paperboard segment for the six months ended March 31, 2008
decreased $1.8 million compared to the prior year period primarily due to rising fiber and energy
costs. Average recycled fiber costs increased approximately $20.8 million, or $39 per ton, over
the prior year period. During the first quarter of fiscal 2008 we received approximately $1.7
million in recovery of previously expensed environmental remediation costs, which was largely
offset by the impact of a dryer section failure and rebuild in our Dallas mill in December 2007.
Energy costs increased approximately $4.9 million, freight expense increased $1.1 million, and bad
debt expense increased $1.0 million. These higher costs were largely offset by increases in selling
prices over the prior year period and a $1.0 million decrease in pension expense over the prior
year period.

Net Sales (Corrugated Packaging Segment)
Net sales of the Corrugated Packaging segment increased $52.6 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 2008 compared to the prior year second quarter due to the Southern Container Acquisition,
which contributed net sales of $51.5 million, and increased volumes and sales prices.
Net sales of the Corrugated Packaging segment increased $57.9 million in the six months ended
March 31, 2008 compared to the prior year period due to the Southern Container Acquisition, which
contributed net sales of $51.5 million, and increased volumes and sales prices.
Segment Income (Corrugated Packaging Segment)
Segment income attributable to the Corrugated Packaging segment for the second quarter of
fiscal 2008 decreased $1.0 million compared to the prior year second quarter due to lower segment
income from our legacy recycled corrugated medium plant resulting from higher fiber and energy
costs, which more than offset the increased income in our legacy corrugated plants. In the second
quarter of fiscal 2008, acquisition accounting required us to step up the value of the inventory
acquired which effectively eliminates the profit that we realize upon the sale of that inventory.
This write up reduced our pre-tax income in the quarter by approximately $7.1 million as the
acquired inventory was sold and charged to cost of sales. We expect the third quarter of fiscal
2008 to be negatively impacted by approximately $3 million as the remaining inventory acquired in
the Southern Container Acquisition is sold.
28
Segment income attributable to the Corrugated Packaging segment for the six months ended March
31, 2008 decreased $2.4 million compared to the prior year period due primarily to the factors
stated above.

Net Sales (Merchandising Displays Segment)
Net sales for the Merchandising Displays segment increased $11.7 million in the second quarter
of fiscal 2008 compared to the prior year second quarter, and increased $32.8 million in the six
months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to
higher volumes on strong demand for promotional displays.
Segment Income (Merchandising Displays Segment)
Segment income attributable to the Merchandising Displays segment for the second quarter of
fiscal 2008 increased $1.5 million, or 12.3%, compared to the prior year second quarter, and for
the six months ended March 31, 2008 increased $4.4 million, or 25.4%, compared to the prior year
period. The increase in display sales enabled us to better leverage our fixed costs.
Significant Changes in Balance Sheet Accounts
As a result of the Southern Container Acquisition and the corresponding preliminary allocation
of the purchase price, our assets and liabilities have increased materially. See Note 5.
Acquisitions of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements section of the Financial
Statements included herein for a summary of the assets and liabilities assumed. Additionally, see
"Note 9. Debt of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the changes in
debt.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working Capital and Capital Expenditures
We fund our working capital requirements, capital expenditures and acquisitions from net cash
provided by operating activities, borrowings under term notes, our receivables-backed financing
facility and bank credit facilities, proceeds from the sale of discontinued assets, and proceeds
received in connection with the issuance of industrial development revenue bonds as well as other
debt and equity securities.
Cash and cash equivalents was $56.6 million at March 31, 2008, and $10.9 million at September
30, 2007. The increase in cash is due primarily to cash received in the Southern Container
Acquisition to support the Solvay IDBs working capital requirements. Our debt balance at March 31,
2008 was $1,854.5 million and $722.3 million at September 30, 2007, an increase of
$1,132.2 million. The increase was the result of the debt incurred to finance the Southern
Container Acquisition. We are exposed to changes in interest rates as a result of our debt. We use
interest rate swap instruments to manage the interest rate characteristics of portions of our
outstanding debt. At the inception of the swaps we designate such swaps as either cash flow hedges
or fair value hedges of the interest rate exposure on an equivalent amount of our floating rate or
fixed rate debt. At September 30, 2007, we had interest rate swap
29
agreements in place with an
aggregate notional amount of $200.0 million. In October 2007, we paid $3.5 million to terminate
all of our then open interest rate swaps. On January 31, 2008, we entered into two
forward starting floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps of an initial notional amount
aggregating $550.0 million. These swaps are tiered and the notional amounts will decline through
April 2012. These swaps are based on the one-month LIBOR rate, at an average rate of 3.11%, plus
the applicable credit margin then in effect. We have designated these swaps as cash flow hedges of
the interest rate exposure on an equivalent amount of floating rate debt.
On March 5, 2008, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into the Credit Facility which
replaced the June 6, 2005 Senior Credit Facility. The Credit Facility includes term loan, revolving
credit, swing, and letters of credit facilities with an aggregate original principal amount of $1.2
billion. The Credit Facility is pre-payable at any time. The revolving credit facility and term
loan A facility are scheduled to mature on the earlier to occur of (a) March 5, 2013 or (b) if our
$100 million 2013 Senior Notes have not been paid in full or refinanced by September 15, 2012, then
September 15, 2012; the term loan B facility is scheduled to mature on the earlier to occur of (a)
March 5, 2014 or (b) if the 2013 Senior Notes have not been paid in full or refinanced by September
15, 2012, then September 15, 2012. Certain restrictive covenants govern our maximum availability
under this facility, including: Minimum Consolidated Interest Ratio Coverage; Maximum Leverage
Ratio; and Minimum Consolidated Net Worth; as those terms are defined by the Credit Facility. We
test and report our compliance with these covenants each quarter. At March 31, 2008, we would have
been able to an incremental $254.3 million, under the revolving credit portion of the Credit
Facility. We have aggregate outstanding letters of credit under this facility of approximately
$35.3 million. On March 5, 2008, we issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.25%
senior notes due March 2016 in an unregistered offering pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S
under the Securities Act. The unsecured notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of
March 5, 2008, by and among Rock-Tenn, the guarantors listed therein (comprising most of our
subsidiaries which are guarantors under the Credit Facility) and HSBC Bank USA, National
Association, as Trustee. The Indenture contains financial and restrictive covenants, including
limitations on: restricted payments, dividend and other payments affecting restricted subsidiaries
(as defined therein), incurrence of debt, asset sales, transactions with affiliates, liens, sale
and leaseback transactions and the creation of unrestricted subsidiaries. On November 16, 2007, we
amended our 364-day receivables backed facility and increased its size from $100.0 million to
$110.0 million. The new facility is scheduled to expire on November 15, 2008. Accordingly, such
borrowings are classified as current at March 31, 2008 and non-current at September 30, 2007.
Borrowing availability under this facility is based on the eligible underlying receivables. At
March 31, 2008 and September 30, 2007 we had $110.0 million and $100.0 million, respectively,
outstanding under the facility. In April 2008, our board of directs approved the increase of our
Receivables Facility from $110.0 million to $200.0 million. We expect to act upon that approval
later in the year. For additional information regarding our outstanding debt, our credit
facilities and their securitization, see Note 9. Debt of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007
was $35.0 million and $69.2 million, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the use of
funds for the payment of accrued liabilities, primarily bonuses, an increase in our pension
contributions, an increase in accounts receivables resulting from increased revenues and an
increase in other assets.
Net cash used for investing activities was $844.0 million during the six months ended March
31, 2008 compared to $74.7 million for the comparable period of the prior year. Net cash used for
investing activities in the first six months of fiscal 2008 consisted
primarily of $808.4 million
related to the Southern Container Acquisition and $37.2 million of capital expenditures. Net cash
used for investing activities in the first six months of fiscal 2007 consisted primarily of $40.8
million of capital expenditures, $32.0 million to acquire the remaining 40% interest in Fold-Pak,
and $8.6 million to acquire our interest in QPSI in our Merchandising Displays segment.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $854.4 million during the six months ended March
31, 2008 compared to $9.8 million in the same period last year. In the first six months of fiscal
2008 net cash provided by financing activities consisted primarily of net additions to debt and
proceeds from issuance of notes aggregating $888.5 million. Partially offsetting these
amounts primarily were $27.3 million of debt issuance costs related to the Southern Container
Acquisition and cash dividends paid to shareholders of $7.6 million. In the first six months of
fiscal 2007 net cash provided by financing activities consisted primarily of $30.0 million in
issuances of common stock and $14.2 million for tax benefits from share-based compensation, offset
by net repayments of debt of $20.7 million and cash dividends paid to shareholders of $7.4 million.
In the first six months of fiscal 2007, cash from the issuance of common stock increased due to
the exercise of stock options for approximately 2.2 million shares.
Our capital expenditures aggregated $37.2 million during the six months ended March 31, 2008.
We used these expenditures primarily for the purchase and upgrading of machinery and equipment. We
estimate that our capital
30
expenditures will aggregate approximately $90 to $95 million in fiscal
2008, including Southern Container. Included in our capital expenditures estimate is
approximately $5.8 million for capital expenditures that we expect to spend during fiscal 2008 in
connection with matters relating to environmental compliance.
Based on current facts and assumptions, we expect cash tax payments to be less than income tax
expense in fiscal 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively.
In connection with prior dispositions of assets and/or subsidiaries, we have made certain
guarantees to third parties as of March 31, 2008. Our specified maximum aggregate potential
liability (on an undiscounted basis) is approximately $7.6 million, other than with respect to
certain specified liabilities, including liabilities relating to title, taxes, and certain
environmental matters, with respect to which there may be no limitation. We estimate the fair
value of our aggregate liability for outstanding indemnities, including the indemnities described
above with respect to which there are no limitations, to be approximately $0.1 million.
Accordingly, we have recorded a liability for that amount. For additional information regarding our
guarantees, see Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements.
During fiscal 2008 we have minimum pension contributions of approximately $16 million to make
to the U.S. Qualified Plans. Based on current facts and assumptions, we anticipate contributing
approximately $18 million to the U.S. Qualified Plans in fiscal 2009. However, it is possible that
we may decide to contribute an amount greater than the minimum required funding in either of those
years.
In April 2008, our board of directors approved our May 2008 quarterly dividend of $0.10 per
share, in February 2008 and November 2007 we paid quarterly dividends of $0.10 per share,
indicating an annualized dividend of $0.40 per share in fiscal 2008 on our Common Stock.
We anticipate that we will be able to fund our capital expenditures, interest payments, stock
repurchases, dividends, pension payments, working capital needs, bond repurchases, and repayments
of current portion of long-term debt for the foreseeable future from cash generated from
operations, borrowings under our Credit Facility and Receivables Facility, proceeds from the
issuance of debt or equity securities or other additional long-term debt financing, including new
or amended facilities to finance acquisitions.
Contractual Obligations
For a discussion of contractual obligations, see the "Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources Contractual
Obligations section in our Fiscal 2007 Form 10-K. There have been no material developments with
respect to contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of our business except for the
incurrence of debt and the assumption of a steam supply agreement at the Solvay mill acquired in
the Southern Container Acquisition. For additional information on our expected future debt
repayments see Note 9. Debt of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The
Solvay mill steam supply contract expires December 2018. To arrive at the obligation for the steam
supply agreement management made estimates and assumptions about the obligation including but not
limited to volume and future cost escalators. Because these estimates and assumptions are
subjective, the enforceable and legally binding obligations we actually pay in future periods may
vary from those we have summarized in the table. The contract is cancellable subject to certain
penalties.
As of March 31, 2008, the estimated purchase obligations under the steam supply contract at
the Solvay mill for the remainder of fiscal 2008, succeeding five fiscal years and thereafter are

New Accounting Standards
See Note 2. New Accounting Standards of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements included herein for a full description of recent accounting pronouncements including the
respective expected dates of adoption and expected effects on results of operations and financial
condition.
Forward-Looking Statements
Statements made in this report constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
federal securities laws, including statements regarding, among other things, the results and
impacts of the Southern Container Acquisition, including cost reductions, synergies and
transitional costs to achieve the synergies and the timing of such costs and synergies; the impact
of operational restructuring activities, including the cost and timing of such activities, the size
and cost of employment terminations, operational consolidation, capacity utilization, cost
reductions and production efficiencies, estimated fair values of assets, and returns from planned
asset transactions, and the impact of such factors on earnings; the ability of insurance carriers
to pay potential claims under our insurance policies and our potential liability with respect
thereto; potential liability for outstanding guarantees and indemnities and the potential impact of
such liabilities; the impact of economic conditions, including the nature of the current market
environment, raw material and energy costs and market trends or factors that affect such trends,
such as expected price increases, competitive pricing pressures, cost increases, as well as the
impact and continuation of such factors; our results of operations, including our ability to
address operational inefficiencies, costs, sales growth or declines, the timing and impact of
customer transitioning, the impact of announced price increases and the impact of the gain and loss
of customers; pension plan contributions and expense, funding requirements and earnings;
environmental law liability as well as the impact of related compliance efforts, including the cost
of required improvements and the availability of certain indemnification claims; capital
expenditures for fiscal 2008; the cost and other effects of complying with governmental laws and
regulations and the timing of such costs; income tax rates and future cash tax payments; our
ability to fund capital expenditures, interest payments, stock repurchases, dividends, working
capital needs and debt for the foreseeable future from available cash and the proceeds from
borrowings and security issuances; our estimates and assumptions regarding our contractual
obligations and the impact of our contractual obligations on our liquidity and cash flow; the
impact of changes in assumptions and estimates underlying accounting policies; the expected impact
of implementing new accounting standards; and the impact of changes in assumptions and estimates on
which we based the design of our system of disclosure controls and procedures. Such statements are
based on our current expectations and beliefs and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any
forward-looking statement. With respect to these statements, we have made assumptions regarding,
among other things, economic, competitive and market conditions; volumes and price levels of
purchases by customers; competitive conditions in our businesses; possible adverse actions of our
customers, our competitors and suppliers; labor costs; the amount and timing of capital
expenditures, including installation costs, project development and implementation costs, severance
and other shutdown costs; restructuring costs; utilization of real property that is subject to the
restructurings due to realizable values from the sale of such property; credit availability;
volumes and price levels of purchases by customers; raw material and energy costs; and competitive
conditions in our businesses. Management believes its assumptions are reasonable; however, undue
reliance should not be placed on such estimates, which are based on current expectations. These
forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks including, among others, that our
assumptions will prove to be inaccurate. There are many factors that impact these forward-looking
statements that we cannot predict accurately. Actual results may vary materially from current
expectations, in part because we manufacture most of our products against customer orders with
short lead times and small backlogs. Our earnings are dependent on volume due to price levels and
fixed operating costs. Further, our business is subject to a number of general risks that would
affect any such forward-looking statements including, among others, decreases in demand for our
products; increases in energy, raw material, shipping and capital equipment costs; reduced supplies
of raw materials; fluctuations in selling prices and volumes; intense competition; our ability to
identify, complete, integrate or finance acquisitions; the potential loss of certain customers;
adverse changes in and the cost of complying with extensive governmental regulations; and adverse
changes in general market and industry conditions. Such risks are more particularly described in
our filings with the SEC, including under the caption Business Forward-Looking Information and
Risk Factors in our Fiscal 2007 Form 10-K and Item 1A. Risk Factors below. Further,
forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we do not have or undertake
any obligation to update any such information as future events unfold.
32
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For a complete discussion of certain of the market risks to which we are exposed, see
the Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk section in our Fiscal 2007 Form
10-K.
As a result of the Southern Container Acquisition our exposure to market risk from the changes
in interest rates and commodity prices has increased.
Interest Rates
We are exposed to changes in interest rates, primarily as a result of our short-term and
long-term debt. We use swap agreements to manage the interest rate characteristics of a portion of
our outstanding debt. Based on the amounts and mix of our fixed and floating rate debt at March 31,
2008, if market interest rates increase an average of 100 basis points, after considering the
effects of our swaps, our interest expense would increase by approximately $5.0 million annually.
We determined these amounts by considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates on our
borrowing costs and interest rate swap agreements. These analyses do not consider the effects of
changes in the level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment.
Commodities
Fiber
The principal raw material that we use in the production of recycled paperboard and
containerboard is recycled fiber. Our purchases of old corrugated containers (OCC) and
double-lined kraft clippings account for our largest fiber costs and approximately 57% of our
fiscal 2007 fiber purchases. The remaining 43% of our fiber purchases consists of a number of other
grades of recycled paper. The Solvay mill acquired in the Southern Container Acquisition purchases
approximately 800,000 tons of OCC annually. A hypothetical 10% increase in total fiber prices
could increase our costs by approximately $14 million annually for the Solvay mill. In times of
higher fiber prices, we may have the ability to pass a portion of the increased costs on to our
customers in the form of higher finished product pricing; however, there can be no assurance that
we will be able to do so.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of
our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly
report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded,
processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and
Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in
connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15
that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are a party to litigation incidental to our business from time to time. We are not
currently a party to any litigation that management believes, if determined adversely to us, would
have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
33
Southern Container
In 2005, the Onondaga Nation (Onondaga), filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court
of the Northern District of New York against the State of New York, Governor Pataki, Onondaga
County, The City of Syracuse, and five corporate defendants, which do not include Southern
Container, alleging that property owned by the Onondaga and other Indian nations was unlawfully
acquired by the State of New York in violation of the federal Indian Trade and Intercourse Acts,
the United States Constitution, The Treaty of Fort Stanwick in 1784 and The Treaty of Canandaigua
of 1794. The action seeks a declaratory judgment holding that the conveyances of property to the
State of New York under six treaties entered into in the late 1700s and early 1800s are null and
void and the land remains the property of the Onondagas and other Indian nations. The properties
that are the subject of the litigation are located in portions of each of the New York counties of
Broome, Cayuga, Chenango, Cortland, Jefferson, Lewis, Madison, Onondaga, Oswego, Tompkins, and
Tioga, and include the properties on which our Solvay mill and Camillus, New York box plant are
located. Management does not believe that the
litigation would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Rock-Tenn and its
subsidiaries taken as a whole.
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
For a complete discussion of certain of the risk factors to which we are exposed, see
the Risk Factors section in our Fiscal 2007
Form 10-K.
Risks Relating to the Southern Container Acquisition
As a result of the Southern Container Acquisition, we acquired Southern Container subject to
all of its liabilities, including contingent liabilities. If there are unknown Southern Container
obligations, our business could be materially and aversely affected. We may learn additional
information about Southern Containers business that adversely affects us, such as unknown
liabilities, issues that could affect our ability to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or issues
that could affect our ability to comply with other applicable laws. We have limited
indemnification rights in respect of regulatory compliance and litigation matters, as well as known
contingent liabilities. There is no assurance that these matters subject to indemnification will
not exceed the limit on our indemnification. As a result, our business could be materially and
adversely affected.
The integration of Southern Container requires the focused attention of our management team,
including a significant commitment of their time and resources. The need for both our and Southern
Containers management to focus on integration matters could disrupt our ongoing businesses and
have a material adverse impact on our business.
The pro forma combined financial information included in this report, or filed under Form 8-K,
may not represent the financial information that will result from operations of the combined
companies. In addition, the pro forma combined financial information presented is based in part on
certain assumptions we believe are reasonable. However, we cannot assure you that our results will
be in the future.
In connection with the Southern Container Acquisition, we incurred a substantial amount of
indebtedness. At March 31, 2008, after giving effect to the Southern Container Acquisition and the
financing incurred in connection with the acquisition, our total debt (including current portion of
debt) was $1,854.5 million and we have $289.6 million of availability under our new Credit Facility
(excluding the letters of credit). Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences,
including: making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations; limiting our ability to
borrow additional amounts to fund working capital and other purposes; requiring us to dedicate a
substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to pay interest on our debt; making us more
vulnerable to adverse changes general economic, industry and government regulations; placing us at
a competitive disadvantage compared with those of our competitors with less debt; and exposing us
to risks in inherent interest rate fluctuations because some of our borrowings are at variable
rates. In addition, we may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow from our operations to
repay our indebtedness when it becomes due and to meet our other cash needs. If this happens and
we are not able to refinance our debt, sell additional debt or equity securities or our assets on
favorable terms, if at all, it may negatively affect our ability to generate revenues.
