Item 1.BUSINESS

Description of Business

Tredegar Corporation (“Tredegar”), a Virginia corporation incorporated in 1988, is engaged, through its subsidiaries, in the manufacture of plastic films and aluminum extrusions. The financial information related to Tredegar’s film products and aluminum extrusions segments and related geographical areas included in Note 5 to the Notes to Financial Statements is incorporated herein by reference. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references herein to “Tredegar,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” are to Tredegar Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Film Products

Tredegar Film Products Corporation and its subsidiaries (together, “Film Products”) manufacture plastic films, elastics and laminate materials primarily for personal care products and surface protection and packaging applications. These products are manufactured at facilities in the United States (“U.S.”) and, The Netherlands, Hungary, China, Brazil and India. In October 2011, Film Products acquired Terphane Holdings LLC (“Terphane”), further expanding our films business in Latin America and the U.S. Film Products competes in all of its markets on the basis of product innovation, quality, price and service.

Personal Care Materials. Film Products is one of the largest global suppliers of apertured, breathable, elastic and embossed films, and laminate materials for personal care markets, including:

Apertured film and laminate materials for use as topsheet in feminine hygiene products, baby diapers and adult incontinence products (including materials sold under the SoftQuiltTM, ComfortQuiltTM, ComfortAireTM, ComfortFeelTM, SoftAireTM and FreshFeelTM brand names);

Breathable, embossed and elastic materials for use as components for baby diapers, adult incontinence products and feminine hygiene products (including elastic components sold under the ExtraFlexTM, FabriFlexTM, StretchTabTM, FlexAireTM and FlexFeelTM brand names); and

Absorbent transfer layers for baby diapers and adult incontinence products sold under the AquiDry®,and AquiDry PlusTM and AquiSoftTM brand names.

In 2012, 20112014, 2013 and 2010,2012, personal care productsmaterials accounted for approximately 38%34%, 45%36% and 50%38% of Tredegar’s consolidated net sales (sales less freight) from continuing operations, respectively.

Flexible Packaging Films.Film Products produces specialized polyester (“PET”) films for use in packaging applications that have specialized properties, such as heat resistance, strength, barrier protection and the ability to accept high-quality print graphics. These differentiated, high-value films are primarily sold in Latin America and the U.S. under the Terphane® and Sealphane® brand names. Major end uses include food packaging and industrial applications. In 2012, flexibleFlexible packaging films accounted for approximately 12%, 14% and 16% of Tredegar’s consolidated net sales from continuing operations. Tredegar did not offer these films until the fourth quarter of 2011, so flexible packaging films only accounted for approximately 4% of consolidated net sales from continuing operations in 2011.2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Surface Protection Films.Film Products produces singlesingle- and multi-layer surface protection films sold under the UltraMask®, ForceField and ForceField PEARLTM brand names. These films are used in high technologyhigh-technology applications, most notably protecting high-value components of flat panel displays used in televisions, monitors, notebooks, smart phones, tablets, e-readers and digital signage, during the manufacturing and transportation process. In 2012, 20112014, 2013 and 2010,2012, surface protection films accounted for approximately 8%10%, 9%10% and 12%8% of Tredegar’s consolidated net sales from continuing operations, respectively.

Polyethylene Overwrap & Polypropylene Films.Film Products produces various types of polyethylene and polypropylene overwrap films. Applications for polyethylene films include an emphasis on packagingoverwrap for bathroom tissue and paper products. Thesetowels as these products provide our customers with thin-gauge films that are readily printable and convertible on conventional processing equipment. Film Products sells these overwrap films in a highly competitive environment, contending with other commodity-based films. Film Products also manufactures polypropylene films for packaging applications. Major end uses for polyethylenevarious industrial applications, including tape and polypropylene films include overwrap for bathroom tissue and paper towels as well as retort pouches.automotive protection.


Films for Other Markets.Film Products also makes a variety of specialty films and film-based products that provide tailored functionality for the illumination market as well as various other markets. By leveraging the combination of film capabilities and our patented microstructure technology, we are able to offer optical management products for a wide range of applications, including lighting, signage and durable goods.

The operations of Bright View Technologies Corporation (“Bright View”) were incorporated into, a Film Products effective January 1, 2012 to better leverage efforts to produce films for new market segments. Bright Viewsubsidiary, is a developer and producer of high-value microstructure-based optical films for the LED (light-emitting diode) and fluorescent lighting markets.

Raw Materials. The primary raw materials used by Film Products in polyethylene and polypropylene films are low density, linear low density and high density polyethylene and polypropylene resins,resins. Purified Terephthalic Acidterephthalic acid (“PTA”) and Mono-ethylene Glycolmonoethylene glycol (“MEG”), which are the primary raw materials used by Film Products to produce the polyester resins utilized in PET films. Prospectively, Film Products will purchase additional polyester resins directly from suppliers.
All of these raw materials are obtained from domestic and foreign suppliers at competitive prices. We believeprices, and Film Products believes that there will be an adequate supply of these raw materialspolyethylene, polypropylene, and polyester resins as well as PTA and MEG in the foreseeable future. Film Products also buys polypropylene-based nonwoven fabrics based on the resins previously noted and styrenic block copolymers, and we believeit believes there will be an adequate supply of these raw materials in the foreseeable future.
Customers.

Customers. Film Products sells to many branded product producers throughout the world. Its largest customer is The Procter & Gamble Company (“P&G”). Net sales to P&G totaled $221 million in 2014, $262 million in 2013 and $264 million in 2012 $280 million in 2011 and $273 million in 2010 (these amounts include film sold to third parties that converted the film into materials used with products manufactured by P&G).

P&G and Tredegar have had a successful long-term relationship based on cooperation, product innovation and continuous process improvement. The loss or significant reduction in sales associatedFor additional information on the relationship with P&G, would have a material adverse effectsee “Item 1A. Risk Factors” beginning on our business.

Aluminum Extrusions

The William L. Bonnell Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries (together, “Aluminum Extrusions”), which is known as Bonnell Aluminum in the marketplace, produce high-quality, soft-alloy and medium-strength aluminum extrusions primarily for building and construction, distribution, transportation, electrical,automotive, consumer durables, and machinery and equipment, electrical and distribution markets. Aluminum Extrusions manufactures mill (unfinished), anodized (coated) and painted and fabricated aluminum extrusions for sale directly to fabricators and distributors, and it competes primarily on the basis of product quality, service and price. Sales are made primarily in the U.S., principally east of the Rocky Mountains.

On October 1, 2012, Aluminum Extrusions acquired AACOA, Inc. (“AACOA”). AACOA produces aluminum extrusions and provides anodizing services to customers in the consumer durables, machinery and equipment and transportation markets. OurThe acquisition of AACOA allows usAluminum Extrusions to add fabrication capabilities to Aluminum Extrusions’ currentits array of products and services while providing AACOA with large press capabilities and enhanced geographic sales coverage in a variety of end-use markets.

Other

In February 2010, we added a new

Tredegar’s operations previously included an additional segment, Other, comprised of the start-up operations of Bright View and Falling Springs, LLC (“Falling Springs”). As previously noted, theThe operations of Bright View were incorporated into Film Products effective January 1, 2012 to better leverage efforts to produce films for new market segments. Prior year balances for Bright View have been reclassified to Film Products to conform with the current year presentation.

As a subsidiary of Tredegar, Falling Springs develops, ownsdeveloped, owned and operatesoperated multiple mitigation banks. Through the establishment of perpetual easements to restore, enhance and preserve wetlands, streams or other protected environmental resources, these mitigation banks createcreated saleable credits that arewere used by the purchaser of credits to offset the negative environmental impacts from private and public development projects. On November 20, 2012, wethe Company sold ourits membership interests in Falling Springs to Arc Ventures, LC, a Virginia limited liability company affiliated with John D. Gottwald, a member of Tredegar’s Board of Directors, for cash and stock proceeds of $16.6 million. The corresponding loss on sale of $3.1 million and the results of operations related to Falling Springs have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. With the sale of Falling Springs, there is no longer an Other segment to report.

Intellectual Property. We considerTredegar considers patents, licenses and trademarks to be of significance forsignificant to Film Products. We routinely apply for patents on significant developments in these businesses. As of December 31, 2012,2014, Film Products held 342273 issued patents (108(81 of which are issued in the U.S.) and 117122 trademarks (19(14 of which are issued in the U.S.). Aluminum Extrusions held one U.S. patent and three U.S. trademark registrations. OurThese patents have remaining terms ranging from 1 to 20 years. WeTredegar also havehas licenses under patents owned by third parties.

Research and Development. Tredegar’s spending for research and development (“R&D”) activities in 2012, 20112014, 2013 and 20102012 was primarily related to Film Products. As of December 31, 2012, Film Products has technical centers in Bloomfield, New York; Cabo de Santo Agostinho, Brazil;Durham, North Carolina; Richmond, Virginia; Morrisville, North Carolina; and Terre Haute, Indiana. R&D spending was approximately $12.1 million in 2014, $12.7 million in 2013 and $13.2 million in 2012, $13.2 million in 2011 and $13.6 million in 2010.2012.

Backlog. Backlogs are not material to ourthe operations in Film Products. Overall backlog for continuing operations in Aluminum Extrusions at December 31, 20122014 increased by approximately 77%54% compared with December 31, 2011, with approximately half of this increase being attributed to the addition of AACOA. Demand for extruded aluminum shapes continued to improve in 2012.2013. Volume for Aluminum Extrusions, which we believeit believes is cyclical in nature, was 153.8 million pounds in 2014, 143.7 million pounds in 2013 and 114.8 million pounds in 2012, 108.0 million pounds in 2011 and 94.9 million pounds in 2010.2012.

Government Regulation. U.S. laws concerning the environment to which ourthe Company’s domestic operations are or may be subject include, among others, the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), all as amended, regulations promulgated under these acts, and any other federal, state or local laws or regulations governing environmental matters. Compliance with these laws is an important consideration for us because we useTredegar uses hazardous materials in some of ourits operations, we areis a generator of hazardous waste, and wastewater from ourthe Company’s operations is discharged to various types of wastewater management systems. Under CERCLA and other laws, weTredegar may be subject to financial exposure for costs associated with waste management and disposal, even if wethe Company fully complycomplies with applicable environmental laws.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has adopted regulations under the Clean Air Act relating to emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases (“GHG”), including mandatory reporting and permitting requirements. Additional regulations are anticipated. Several of ourthe Company’s manufacturing operations result in emissions or GHG and are subject to the current GHG regulations. ComplianceThe Company’s compliance with these regulations has yet to require significant expenditures. The cost of compliance with any future GHG legislation or regulations is not presently determinable, but it isTredegar does not anticipatedanticipate compliance to have a material adverse effect on ourits financial condition or results of operations based on information currently available.

Tredegar is also subject to the governmental regulations in the countries where we conductit conducts business.

At December 31, 2012, we believe2014, the Company believes that we wereit was in substantial compliance with all applicable environmental laws, regulations and permits in the U.S. and other countries where we conductit conducts business. Environmental standards tend to become more stringent over time. In order to maintain substantial compliance with such standards, wethe Company may be required to incur additional expenditures, the amounts and timing of which are not presently determinable but which could be significant, in constructing new facilities or in modifying existing facilities. Furthermore, our failure to comply with current or future laws and regulations could subject usTredegar to substantial penalties, fines, costs and expenses.

Employees. Tredegar employed approximately 2,700 people at December 31, 2012.2014.

Item 1A.RISK FACTORS

There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could have a material adverse effect on the operating results of ourthe Company’s businesses and our consolidated financial condition and liquidity. The following risk factors should be considered, in addition to the other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20122014 (“Form 10-K”), when evaluating Tredegar and ourits businesses:

General
GeneralTredegar may not be able to successfully execute its acquisition strategy.

Our performance is influenced by costs incurred by our operating companies, including, for example, the cost of raw materials and energy. These costs include, without limitation, the cost of resin, PTA and MEG (the raw materials on which Film Products primarily depends), aluminum (the raw material on which Aluminum Extrusions primarily depends), natural gas (the principal fuel necessary for Aluminum Extrusions’ plants to operate), electricity and diesel fuel. Resin, aluminum and natural gas prices are extremely volatile as shown in the charts on pages 35-36. We attempt to mitigate the effects of increased costs through price increases and contractual pass-through provisions, but there are no assurances that higher prices can effectively be passed through to our customers or that we will be able to offset fully or on a timely basis the effects of higher raw material and energy costs through price increases or pass-through arrangements. Further, our cost control efforts may not be sufficient to offset any additional future declines in revenue or increases in raw material, energy or other costs.

Tredegar and its customers operate in highly competitive markets. Tredegar and its businesses compete on product innovation, quality, price and service, and our businesses and their customers operate in highly competitive markets. Global market conditions continue to exacerbate our exposure to margin compression due to competitive forces, especially as certain products move into the later stages of their product life cycles. We attempt to mitigate the effects of this trend through cost saving measures and manufacturing efficiency initiatives, but these efforts may not be sufficient to offset the impact of margin compression as a result of competitive pressure.

Tredegar may not be able to successfully execute its acquisition strategy.New acquisitions, such as our October 2011 acquisition of Terphane and our October 2012 acquisition of AACOA, can provide meaningful opportunities to grow our business and improve profitability. Acquired businesses may not achieve expected levels of revenue, profit or productivity, or otherwise perform as we expect. Acquisitions involve special risks,

including, without limitation, diversion of management’s time and attention from our existing businesses, the potential assumption of unanticipated liabilities and contingencies and potential difficulties in integrating acquired businesses and achieving anticipated operational improvements. While our strategy is to acquire businesses that will improve our competitiveness and profitability, acquisitions may not be successful or accretive to earnings.

Noncompliance with any of the covenants in our $350 million credit facility could result in all debt under the agreement outstanding at such time becoming due and limiting our borrowing capacity, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and liquidity. The credit agreement governing our revolving credit facility contains restrictions and financial covenants that could restrict our operational and financial flexibility. Our failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default, which if not cured or waived, would result in all outstanding debt under the credit facility at such time becoming due, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and liquidity. Renegotiation of the covenant(s) through an amendment to our revolving credit facility may effectively cure the noncompliance, but may have a negative effect on our consolidated financial condition or liquidity depending upon how the amended covenant is renegotiated.

Loss of certain key officers or employees could adversely affect our businesses. We depend on our senior executive officers and other key personnel to run our businesses. The loss of any of these officers or other key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our operations. Competition for qualified employees among companies that rely heavily on engineering and technology is intense, and the loss of qualified employees or an inability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled employees required for the operation and expansion of our businesses could hinder our ability to improve manufacturing operations, conduct research activities successfully and develop marketable products.

Tredegar is subject to increased credit risk that is inherent with economic uncertainty and efforts to increase market share as we attempt to broaden our customer base. In the event of the deterioration of operating cash flows or diminished borrowing capacity of our customers, the collection of trade receivable balances may be delayed or deemed unlikely. The operations of our customers for Aluminum Extrusions generally follow the cycles within the economy, resulting in greater credit risk from diminished operating cash flows and higher bankruptcy rates when the economy is deteriorating or in recession. In addition, Film Products’ credit risk exposure could increase as efforts to expand its business may lead to a broader, more diverse customer base.

Tredegar is subject to various environmental laws and regulations and could become exposed to material liabilities and costs associated with such laws.We are subject to various environmental obligations and could become subject to additional obligations in the future. In the case of known potential liabilities, it is management’s judgment that the resolution of ongoing and/or pending environmental remediation obligations is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or liquidity. In any given period or periods, however, it is possible such obligations or matters could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations. Changes in environmental laws and regulations, or their application, including, but not limited to, those relating to global climate change, could subject us to significant additional capital expenditures and operating expenses. Moreover, future developments in federal, state, local and international environmental laws and regulations are difficult to predict. Environmental laws have become and are expected to continue to become increasingly strict. As a result, we will be subject to new environmental laws and regulations. However, any such changes are uncertain and, therefore, it is not possible for us to predict with certainty the amount of additional capital expenditures or operating expenses that could be necessary for compliance with respect to any such changes.

Tredegar could be required to make additional cash contributions to its defined benefit (pension) plan.We sponsor a pension plan that covers certain hourly and salaried employees in the U.S. Recent economic trends have resulted in a significant reduction in interest rates and plan asset investment returns. Cash contribution requirements for the pension plan are sensitive to changes in these market factors. We expect that we will be required to make a cash contribution of approximately $0.2 million to our underfunded pension plan in 2013, and we may be required to make additional cash contributions in future periods if current trends in interest rates continue, volatility in investment returns on plan assets persist or if our plan asset investment returns lag market performance.

An information technology system failure may adversely affect our business. We rely on information technology systems to transact our businesses. An information technology system failure due to computer viruses, internal or external security breaches, power interruptions, hardware failures, fire, natural disasters, human error, or other causes could disrupt our operations and prevent us from being able to process transactions with our customers, operate our manufacturing facilities, and properly report those transactions in a timely manner. A significant, protracted information technology system failure may result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Material disruptions at one of our major manufacturing facilities could negatively impact our financial results.We believe our facilities are operated in compliance with applicable local laws and regulations and that we have implemented measures to minimize the risks of disruption at our facilities. A material disruption in one of our operating locations could negatively impact production and our financial results. Such a disruption could be a result of any number of events, including but not limited to: an equipment failure with repairs requiring long lead times, labor stoppages or shortages, utility disruptions, constraints on the supply or delivery of critical raw materials, and severe weather conditions.

An inability to renegotiate one of our collective bargaining agreements could adversely affect our financial results.Some of our employees are represented by labor unions under various collective bargaining agreements with varying durations and expiration dates. Tredegar may not be able to satisfactorily renegotiate collective bargaining agreements when they expire, which could result in strikes or work stoppages or higher labor costs. In addition, existing collective bargaining agreements may not prevent a strike or work stoppage at our facilities in the future. Any such work stoppages (or potential work stoppages) could negatively impact our ability to manufacture our products and adversely affect results of operations.

Our investments (primarily $7.5 million of investments in Intelliject and a $3.6 million net investment in Harbinger) have high risk. The value of our investment in a specialty pharmaceutical company, Intelliject, Inc. (“Intelliject”), can fluctuate, primarily as a result of its ability to meet its developmental and commercialization milestones within an anticipated time frame. Intelliject received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its first product in 2012, with market launch of the product in the first quarter of 2013. As Intelliject continues to invest in its product pipeline, it may require additional rounds of financing to have the opportunity to complete product pipeline development and bring its technology to market, which may never occur. The estimated fair value of our investment was $33.7 million at December 31, 2012.

New acquisitions, such as the October 2011 acquisition of Terphane Holdings LLC (“Terphane”) and the October 2012 acquisition of AACOA, can provide meaningful opportunities to grow the Company’s business and improve profitability.  Acquired businesses may not achieve expected levels of revenue, profit or productivity, or otherwise perform as expected.  Acquisitions involve special risks, including, without limitation, diversion of management’s time and attention from existing businesses, the potential assumption of unanticipated liabilities and contingencies and potential difficulties in integrating acquired businesses and achieving anticipated operational improvements.  While the Company’s strategy is to acquire businesses that will improve its competitiveness and profitability, acquisitions may not be successful or accretive to earnings.

Tredegar’s performance is influenced by costs incurred by its operating companies, including, for example, the cost of raw materials and energy. These costs include, without limitation, the cost of resin, PTA and MEG (the raw materials on which Film Products primarily depends), aluminum (the raw material on which Aluminum Extrusions primarily depends), natural gas (the principal fuel necessary for Aluminum Extrusions’ plants to operate), electricity and diesel fuel. Resin, aluminum and natural gas prices are extremely volatile as shown in the charts on pages 34-36. The Company attempts to mitigate the effects of increased costs through price increases and contractual pass-through provisions, but there are no assurances that higher prices can effectively be passed through to customers or that Tredegar will be able to offset fully or on a timely basis the effects of higher raw material and energy costs through price increases or pass-through arrangements. Further, the Company’s cost control efforts may not be sufficient to offset any additional future declines in revenue or increases in raw material, energy or other costs.
Noncompliance with any of the covenants in the Company’s $350 million credit facility could result in all debt under the agreement outstanding at such time becoming due and limiting its borrowing capacity, which could have a material adverse effect on financial condition and liquidity. The credit agreement governing Tredegar’s revolving credit facility contains restrictions and financial covenants that could restrict the Company’s operational and financial flexibility. Failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default, which if not cured or waived, would result in all outstanding debt under the credit facility at such time becoming due, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and liquidity. Renegotiation of the covenant(s) through an amendment to the revolving credit facility may effectively cure the noncompliance, but may have a negative effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or liquidity depending upon how the amended covenant is renegotiated.
Failure to continue to attract, develop and retain certain key officers or employees could adversely affect Tredegar’s businesses. The Company depends on its senior executive officers and other key personnel to run the businesses. The loss of any of these officers or other key personnel could have a material adverse effect on operations. Competition for qualified employees among companies that rely heavily on engineering and technology is intense, and the loss of qualified employees or an inability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled employees required for the operation and expansion of Tredegar’s businesses could hinder its ability to improve manufacturing operations, conduct research activities successfully and develop marketable products.

Tredegar is subject to various environmental laws and regulations and could become exposed to material liabilities and costs associated with such laws. The Company is subject to various environmental obligations and could become subject to additional obligations in the future. In the case of known potential liabilities, it is management’s judgment that the resolution of ongoing and/or pending environmental remediation obligations is not expected to have a material adverse effect on consolidated financial condition or liquidity. In any given period(s), however, it is possible such obligations or matters could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations. Changes in environmental laws and regulations, or their application, including, but not limited to, those relating to global climate change, could subject Tredegar to significant additional capital expenditures and operating expenses. Moreover, future developments in federal, state, local and international environmental laws and regulations are difficult to predict. Environmental laws have become and are expected to continue to become increasingly strict. As a result, Tredegar will be subject to new environmental laws and regulations. However, any such changes are uncertain and, therefore, it is not possible for the Company to predict with certainty the amount of additional capital expenditures or operating expenses that could be necessary for compliance with respect to any such changes.
Material disruptions at one of the Company’s major manufacturing facilities could negatively impact financial results. Tredegar believes its facilities are operated in compliance with applicable local laws and regulations and that the Company has implemented measures to minimize the risks of disruption at its facilities. A material disruption in one of the Company’s operating locations could negatively impact production and financial results. Such a disruption could be a result of any number of events, including but not limited to: an equipment failure with repairs requiring long lead times, labor stoppages or shortages, utility disruptions, constraints on the supply or delivery of critical raw materials, and severe weather conditions.
An information technology system failure may adversely affect the business. Tredegar relies on information technology systems to transact its businesses. An information technology system failure due to computer viruses, internal or external security breaches, power interruptions, hardware failures, fire, natural disasters, human error, or other causes could disrupt operations and prevent the Company from being able to process transactions with its customers, operate its manufacturing facilities, and properly report those transactions in a timely manner. A significant, protracted information technology system failure may result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Tredegar is subject to credit risk that is inherent with efforts to increase market share as the Company attempts to broaden its customer base. In the event of the deterioration of operating cash flows or diminished borrowing capacity of the Company’s customers, the collection of trade receivable balances may be delayed or deemed unlikely. Film Products’ credit risk exposure could increase as efforts to expand its business may lead to a broader, more diverse customer base. In addition, the operations of the customers for Aluminum Extrusions generally follow the cycles within the economy, resulting in greater credit risk from diminished operating cash flows and higher bankruptcy rates when the economy is deteriorating or in recession.
Tredegar could be required to make additional cash contributions to its defined benefit (pension) plan. Tredegar sponsors a pension plan that covers certain hourly and salaried employees in the U.S. Tredegar has experienced a significant reduction in interest rates and fluctuations in plan asset investment returns in recent years. Cash contribution requirements for the pension plan are sensitive to changes in these market factors. Tredegar expects that it will be required to make a cash contribution of approximately $2.4 million to its underfunded pension plan in 2015, and the Company may be required to make additional cash contributions in future periods if current trends in interest rates continue, volatility in investment returns on plan assets persist or if plan asset investment returns lag market performance.
Tredegar and its customers operate in highly competitive markets. Tredegar and its businesses compete on product innovation, quality, price and service, and its businesses and their customers operate in highly competitive markets. Global market conditions continue to exacerbate the Company’s exposure to margin compression due to competitive forces, especially as certain products move into the later stages of their product life cycles. Tredegar attempts to mitigate the effects of this trend through the introduction of new products, cost saving measures and manufacturing efficiency initiatives, but these efforts may not be sufficient to offset the impact of margin compression as a result of competitive pressure.
An inability to renegotiate one of the Company’s collective bargaining agreements could adversely affect financial results. Some of the Company’s employees are represented by labor unions under various collective bargaining agreements with varying durations and expiration dates. Tredegar may not be able to satisfactorily renegotiate collective bargaining agreements when they expire, which could result in strikes or work stoppages or higher labor costs. In addition, existing collective bargaining agreements may not prevent a strike or work stoppage at the Company’s facilities in the future. Any such work stoppages (or potential work stoppages) could negatively impact Tredegar’s ability to manufacture its products and adversely affect results of operations.

Tredegar’s investments (primarily $7.5 million of investments in kaléo and a $1.8 million net investment in Harbinger) have high risk. The value of the Company’s investment in a specialty pharmaceutical company, kaleo, Inc. (“kaléo”), which was formerly known as Intelliject, Inc., can fluctuate, primarily as a result of kaléo’s ability to meet its developmental and commercialization milestones within an anticipated time frame. Commercial sales of kaléo’s first licensed product commenced in the first quarter of 2013, and commercial sales of its second product commenced in the third quarter of 2014. As kaléo continues to invest in its product pipeline, it may require additional rounds of financing to have the opportunity to complete product pipeline development and bring its technology to market, which may never occur. The estimated fair value of this investment was $39.1 million at December 31, 2014.
Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations Fund, L.P. (“Harbinger”Harbinger Fund”) is a private investment fund, and an investment in the fund involves risk and is subject to limitations on withdrawal. The amount of future installments of withdrawal proceeds is uncertain, and the timing of such payments is not known.

There is no secondary market for selling ourthe Company’s interests in either investment. As a result, weTredegar may be required to bear the risk of ourits investment in Intellijectkaléo and the Harbinger Fund for an indefinite period of time.

Film Products

Film Products is highly dependent on sales associated with one customer, P&G. P&G comprised approximately 31% of Tredegar’s consolidated net sales from continuing operations in 2012, 36% in 2011 and 38% in 2010. The loss or significant reduction of sales associated with P&G would have a material adverse effect on our business. Other P&G-related factors that could adversely affect our business include, by way of example, (i) failure by P&G to achieve success or maintain share in markets in which P&G sells products containing our materials, (ii) operational decisions by P&G that result in component substitution, inventory reductions and similar changes, (iii) delays in P&G rolling out products utilizing new technologies developed by us and (iv) P&G rolling out products utilizing technologies developed by others that replace our business with P&G. While we have undertaken efforts to expand our customer base, there can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful, or that they will offset any delay or loss of sales and profits associated with P&G.

Growth of Film Products depends on our ability to develop and deliver new products at competitive prices. Personal care materials, surface protection films and polyethylene overwrap and polypropylene films are now being made with a variety of new materials and the overall cycle for changing materials has accelerated. While we have substantial technological resources, there can be no assurance that our new products can be brought to market successfully, or if brought to market successfully, at the same level of profitability and market share of replaced films. A shift in customer preferences away from our technologies, our inability to develop and deliver new profitable products, or delayed acceptance of our new products in domestic or foreign markets, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash flows. In the long term, growth will depend on our ability to provide innovative materials at a price that meets our customers’ needs.

Failure of our customers, who are subject to cyclical downturns, to achieve success or maintain market share could adversely impact sales and operating margins. Our products serve as components for various consumer products sold worldwide. Our customers’ ability to successfully develop, manufacture and market their products is integral to our success. In addition, many of our customers are in industries that are cyclical in nature and sensitive to changes in general economic conditions. Downturns in the businesses that use our products can adversely affect our sales and operating margins.

Continued growth in Film Products’ sale of protective film products is not assured.A shift in our customers’ preference to new or different products or new technology that displaces the need for protective films that currently utilize our surface protection applications could have a material adverse effect on our sales of protective films. Surface protection films accounted for approximately 8%, 9% and 12% of Tredegar’s consolidated net sales from continuing operations in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Unanticipated changes in the demand for our customers’ products, a decline in the rate of growth for flat panel displays or improvements in the durability of flat panel displays could have a material adverse effect on protective film sales.

Our substantial international operations subject us to risks of doing business in countries outside the U.S., which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Risks inherent in international operations include the following, by way of example: changes in general economic conditions or governmental policies, potential difficulty enforcing agreements and intellectual property rights, modifications in foreign tax laws and incentives, staffing and managing widespread operations and the challenges of complying with a wide variety of laws and regulations, restrictions on international trade or investment, restrictions on the repatriation of income, fluctuations in exchange rates, imposition of additional taxes on our income generated outside the U.S., nationalization of private enterprises and unexpected adverse changes in international laws and regulatory requirements. In addition, while expanding operations into emerging foreign markets provides greater opportunities for growth, there are certain operating risks, as previously noted.

Our inability to protect our intellectual property rights or our infringement of the intellectual property rights of others could have a material adverse impact on Film Products.Film Products operates in an industry where our significant customers and competitors have substantial intellectual property portfolios. The continued success of this business depends on our ability not only to protect our own technologies and trade secrets, but also to develop and sell new products that do not infringe upon existing patents or threaten existing customer relationships. An unfavorable outcome in any intellectual property litigation or similar proceeding could have a materially adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations in Film Products.

U.S. and global economic conditions could have an adverse effect on the operating results of some or all of our operations.As Films Products expands its business into new products and geographic regions, operating results and our financial condition could become more sensitive to changes in macroeconomic conditions, including fluctuations in exchange rates. Sales associated with new products and regions tend to more closely follow the cycles within the economy. Cost reductions and productivity improvements may not be sufficient to offset the adverse effects on profitability from lower customer demand in an economic downturn. Therefore, as such product offerings become a greater part of the film products business, our operating results and financial condition may be adversely impacted by seasonal slowdowns, cyclical downturns in the economy or changes in foreign currency rates.

An unstable economic environment could have a disruptive impact on our supply chain. Certain raw materials used in manufacturing our products are available from a single supplier, and we may not be able to quickly or inexpensively re-source to another supplier. The risk of damage or disruption to our supply chain has been exacerbated as different suppliers have consolidated their product portfolios or experienced financial distress. Failure to take adequate steps to effectively manage such events, which are intensified when a product is sourced from a single supplier or location, could adversely affect our business and results of operations, as well as require additional resources to restore our supply chain.

Aluminum Extrusions

Sales volume and profitability of Aluminum Extrusions is cyclical and highly dependent on economic conditions of end-use markets in the U.S., particularly in the construction sector. Our end-use markets can be subject to seasonal slowdowns. Because of the high degree of operating leverage inherent in our operations (generally constant fixed costs until full capacity utilization is achieved), the percentage drop in operating profits in a cyclical downturn will likely exceed the percentage drop in volume. Any benefits associated with cost reductions and productivity improvements may not be sufficient to offset the adverse effects on profitability from pricing and margin pressure and higher bad debts (including a greater chance of loss associated with defaults on fixed-price forward sales contracts with our customers) that usually accompany a downturn. In addition, higher energy costs can further reduce profits unless offset by price increases or cost reductions and productivity improvements.

Although our sales associated with one customer, P&G. P&G comprised approximately 24% of Tredegar’s consolidated net sales from continuing operations in 2014, 28% in 2013 and 31% in 2012. The loss or significant reduction of sales associated with P&G could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. Other P&G-related factors that could adversely affect the business include, by way of example, (i) failure by P&G to achieve success or maintain share in markets in which P&G sells products containing Film Products’ materials, (ii) operational decisions by P&G that result in component substitution, inventory reductions and similar changes, (iii) delays in P&G rolling out products utilizing new technologies developed by Film Products and (iv) P&G rolling out products utilizing technologies developed by others that replace Film Products’ business with P&G. While Film Products has undertaken efforts to expand its customer base, there can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful, or that they will offset any delay or loss of sales and profits associated with P&G.

In 2014, Film Products lost certain babycare elastic laminate volumes sold to P&G due to P&G’s consolidation of suppliers for its North American product needs. Annualized net sales to P&G associated with these plastic films were approximately $51 million. While it continues to identify new business opportunities with P&G, Film Products is also working to expand its customer base in order to create long-term growth and profitability by (1) actively competing for new business with various customers across its full product portfolio, (2) expanding capacity in emerging markets, (3) introducing new products and/or improvements to existing applications, and (4) investigating opportunities to diversify its customer and product offerings through additional acquisitions. There is no assurance that these efforts to expand the revenue base and mitigate this or any future loss of sales and profits from P&G will be successful.
Growth of Film Products depends on its ability to develop and deliver new products at competitive prices. Personal care materials, surface protection films and polyethylene overwrap and polypropylene films are now being made with a variety of new materials and the overall cycle for new product introduction has accelerated. While Film Products has substantial technological resources, there can be no assurance that its new products can be brought to market successfully, or if brought to market successfully, at the same level of profitability and market share of replaced films. A shift in customer preferences away from Film Products’ technologies, its inability to develop and deliver new profitable products, or delayed acceptance of its new products in domestic or foreign markets, could have improveda material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and cash flows. In the long term, growth will depend on Film Products’ ability to provide innovative products at a price that meets the customers’ needs.
Failure of Film Products’ customers, who are subject to cyclical downturns, to achieve success or maintain market share could adversely impact its sales and operating margins. The Company’s plastic films serve as components for various consumer products sold worldwide. A customer’s ability to successfully develop, manufacture and market their products is integral to Film Products’ success. In addition, many customers are in industries that are cyclical in nature and sensitive to changes in general economic conditions. Downturns in the businesses that use the Company’s plastic film products can adversely affect sales and operating margins.
Continued growth in Film Products’ sale of protective film products is not assured. A shift in customer preference to new or different products or new technology that displaces the need for protective films that currently utilize Film Products’ surface protection applications could have a material adverse effect on the sales of these protective films. Surface protection films accounted for approximately 10%, 10% and 8% of Tredegar’s consolidated net sales from continuing operations in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Unanticipated changes in the demand for the products of Film Products’ customers, a decline in the rate of growth for flat panel displays or improvements in the durability of flat panel displays could have a material adverse effect on protective film sales.

Substantial international operations subject Film Products to risks of doing business in countries outside the U.S., which could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations. Risks inherent in international operations include the following, by way of example: changes in general economic conditions or governmental policies, potential difficulty enforcing agreements and intellectual property rights, modifications in foreign tax laws and incentives, staffing and managing widespread operations and the challenges of complying with a wide variety of laws and regulations, restrictions on international trade or investment, restrictions on the repatriation of income, imposition of additional taxes on income generated outside the U.S., nationalization of private enterprises, unexpected adverse changes in international laws and regulatory requirements and fluctuations in exchange rates. In the countries where Film Products conducts its operations, significant fluctuations in the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar could have a material impact on operating results. In addition, while expanding operations into emerging markets provides greater opportunities for growth, there are certain operating risks, as previously noted.
The Company’s inability to protect its intellectual property rights or its infringement of the intellectual property rights of others could have a material adverse impact on Film Products. Film Products operates in an industry where its significant customers and competitors have substantial intellectual property portfolios. The continued success of its business depends on its ability not only to protect its own technologies and trade secrets, but also to develop and sell new products that do not infringe upon existing patents or threaten existing customer relationships. Intellectual property litigation is very costly and could result in substantial expense and diversions of its resources, both of which could adversely affect its operations and financial condition and results. In addition, there may be no effective legal recourse against infringement of the Company’s intellectual property by third parties, whether due to limitations on enforcement of rights in foreign jurisdictions or as a result of other factors. An unfavorable outcome in any intellectual property litigation or similar proceeding could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations in Film Products.
U.S. and global economic conditions could have an adverse effect on the operating results of some or all of Film Products’ operations. As a global entity, the operating results and financial condition for Film Products could become more sensitive to changes in macroeconomic conditions, including fluctuations in exchange rates. Sales associated with new products and regions tend to more closely follow the cycles within the economy. Cost reductions and productivity improvements may not be sufficient to offset the adverse effects on profitability from lower customer demand in an economic downturn. Therefore, as such product offerings become a greater part of the film products business, the Company’s operating results and financial condition may be adversely impacted by seasonal slowdowns, cyclical downturns in the economy or changes in foreign currency rates.
An unstable economic environment could have a disruptive impact on Film Products’ supply chain. Certain raw materials used in manufacturing the Company’s products are sourced from single suppliers, and Film Products may not be able to quickly or inexpensively re-source from other suppliers.  The risk of damage or disruption to its supply chain has been exacerbated as different suppliers have consolidated their product portfolios or experienced financial distress. Failure to take adequate steps to effectively manage such events, which are intensified when a product is procured from a single supplier or location, could adversely affect Film Products’ business and results of operations, as well as require additional resources to restore its supply chain.
Governmental failure to extend anti-dumping duties in Brazil on imported products or prevent competitors from circumventing such duties could adversely impact Film Products. In recent years, thereimports into Brazil, primarily from Asia, represented an increasing portion of the Brazilian flexible packaging films market. The Brazilian government currently applies anti-dumping duties on PET films imported from the UAE, Mexico, and Turkey, and these protective tariffs may be extended to other countries in Asia and the Middle East in the near future. In the absence of these anti-dumping duties, some suppliers may choose to sell excess inventory in Brazil, especially when markets for PET films in Europe and Asia are saturated. Additional supply in the Brazilian market could have a material adverse impact on pricing, thereby creating margin compression that Film Products may not be able to offset with cost savings measures and/or manufacturing efficiency initiatives. An inability to extend and/or expand anti-dumping duties on PET films in Brazil could have a material adverse effect on the operating results of Film Products.

Aluminum Extrusions
Sales volume and profitability of Aluminum Extrusions is uncertainty surroundingcyclical and highly dependent on economic conditions of end-use markets in the extentU.S., particularly in the construction sector. Aluminum Extrusions’ end-use markets can be subject to seasonal slowdowns. Because of the high degree of operating leverage inherent in its operations (generally constant fixed costs until full capacity utilization is achieved), the percentage drop in operating profits in a cyclical downturn will likely exceed the percentage drop in volume. Any benefits associated with cost reductions and timingproductivity improvements may not be sufficient to offset the adverse effects on profitability from pricing and margin pressure and higher bad debts (including a greater chance of loss associated with customers defaulting on fixed-price forward sales contracts) that usually accompany a full recoverydownturn. In addition, higher energy costs can further reduce profits unless offset by price increases or cost reductions and productivity improvements.
The markets for Aluminum Extrusions’ products are highly competitive with product quality, service, delivery performance and price being the principal competitive factors. Aluminum Extrusions has approximately 1,500 customers that are in a variety of end-use markets within the broad categories of building and construction, sector. Therefore,distribution, automotive and other transportation, machinery and equipment, electrical and consumer durables. No single customer exceeds 3% of Aluminum Extrusions’ net sales. Due to the extent and timingdiverse customer mix across many end-use markets, the Company believes the industry generally tracks the real growth of the recovery of sales volumesoverall economy. Future success and profits for Aluminum Extrusions is uncertain, especially since there can be a lagprospects depend on its ability to retain existing customers and participate in the recovery of its end-use markets in comparison to the overall economic recovery.

The markets for our products are highly competitive with product quality, service, delivery performance and price being the principal competitive factors. Aluminum Extrusions has approximately 1,200 customers that are in a variety of end-use markets within the broad categories of building and construction, distribution, transportation, machinery and equipment, electrical and consumer durables. No single customer exceeds 5% of Aluminum Extrusions’ net sales. Due to the diverse customer mix across many end-use markets, we believe the industry generally tracks the real growth of the overall economy. Future success and prospects depend on our ability to retain existing customers and participate in overall industry cross-cycle growth.

industry cross-cycle growth.

During improving economic conditions, excess industry capacity is absorbed and pricing pressure becomes less of a factor in many of ourits end-use markets. Conversely, during an economic slowdown, excess industry capacity often drives increased pricing pressure in many end-use markets as competitors protect their position with key customers. Because the business is susceptible to these changing economic conditions, Aluminum Extrusions targets complex, customized, service-intensive business with more challenging requirements in order to differentiate itself from competitors that focus on higher volume, standard extrusion applications.

Aluminum Extrusions’ efforts to expand into new market segments may not be successful. Aluminum Extrusions has made significant capital investments in recent years to execute on its market diversification strategy. Investments in new aluminum extrusion presses dedicated to serve automotive and light truck tier suppliers are intended to provide meaningful opportunities to grow Aluminum Extrusions and improve profitability. Efforts to expand product offerings and broaden the customer base are tied to successfully substituting the Company’s aluminum extrusions for current market alternatives. Additional volume and/or alternative products offered by Aluminum Extrusions may not be demanded or accepted by market participants. If customer purchases do not meet expectations, Aluminum Extrusions’ market diversification strategy may not be successful, which could have a material adverse effect on the operating results of Aluminum Extrusions.
Failure to extend duties on imported products or prevent competitors from circumventing such duties could adversely impact Aluminum Extrusions. In the past,previous years, imports into the U.S., primarily from China, represented an increasing portion of the U.S. aluminum extrusion market. However, followingdue to an affirmative determination by the U.S. International Trade Commission in April 2011 that asserted that dumped and subsidized imports of aluminum extrusion from China are a cause of material injury tounfairly and negatively impacted the domestic industry, the U.S. Department of Commerce has applied duties to these imported products. As a result, aluminum extrusion imports from China have decreased significantly. While the risk to the domestic industry has been abated for the time being, these protective duties are scheduled to expire in 2016. There are ongoing efforts continuewithin the U.S. aluminum extrusions industry to addressextend these protective duties. An unfavorable outcome could have a material adverse effect on the challenges and circumvention issues that remain.

Net sales (sales less freight) for Terphane were $138.0 million in 2012 compared to $28.3 million in 2011. The impact on operating profit from ongoing operations directly attributable to the acquisition of Terphane was $19.1 million in 2012, which includes amortization expense of $5.1 million. In 2011, operating profit from ongoing operations attributed to the addition of Terphane was approximately $3.0 million, which included $0.9 million in one-time reimbursements for custom duties and $0.9 million of amortization expense.

As noted above, net sales for 2012 increased2014 decreased in comparison to 20112013, primarily due to the acquisition of Terphane. Higher net sales from the addition of Terphane were primarily offset by lower volumes in the other product lines of approximately $18.7 million, the unfavorable change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S. of approximately $10.1 million and a decrease in average selling prices of approximately $4.6 million. Lower net sales volumes are primarily related to lower volumes for personal care materials and polyethylene overwrap films, partially offset by improved performance in surface protection films in the fourth quarter of 2012. The decrease in the average selling prices in 2012 compared to 2011 can be primarily attributed to pricing pressures.

The increase in operating profit from ongoing operations in 2012 compared to 2011 is primarily due to the acquisition of Terphane, partially offset by lower volumes and compressed margins for personal care materials and the unfavorable impact of the change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S. Excluding the impact of the acquisition of Terphane, lowerLower volumes in Film Products had an unfavorable impact of approximately $4.8$39.6 million on net sales, as lost business related to certain babycare elastic laminate films sold in 2012 compared to 2011.North America accounted for approximately $33.9 million of this change. Net sales in Film Products were also impacted by reduced sales volumes for polyethylene overwrap and surface protection films, partially offset by higher volumes for other personal care materials. Lower volumes in surface protection films were primarily related to customer inventory corrections in 2014 and a minor loss of market share in a lower-tier film due to competitive pricing pressures. Average selling prices were favorably impacted by the contractual pass-through of certain costs, primarily an increase in average resin prices, in 2014. The impact of contractual pass-throughs was offset by competitive pricing pressures in flexible packaging films and personal care materials were partially mitigated by higher sales volumes for surface protection films.materials. The change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S. had an unfavorable impact on net sales in 2014 of approximately $1.4$2.6 million.

Operating profit from ongoing operations in 2014 decreased by $12.9 million in 2012comparison to 2013. The previously noted loss of babycare elastic laminate film volumes had an estimated unfavorable impact on operating profit from ongoing operations of approximately $7.0 million in 2014 compared to 2011.2013. The loss of this business is expected to negatively impact operating profit from ongoing operations by approximately $2 million in 2015. Lower volumes noted above and changes in

product mix had an unfavorable effect on operating profit from ongoing operations of approximately $1.7 million. Competitive pricing pressure in flexible packaging films, which were partially offset by favorable pricing in other products, lowered operating profit from ongoing operations by approximately $3.4 million in 2014. Higher manufacturing expenses in flexible packaging films, partially offset by improved operational performance in personal care materials and surface protection films, decreased operating profit from ongoing operations by approximately $5.9 million. Lower selling, general and administrative expenses and reduced research and development project costs within Film Products had a favorable impact on operating profit from ongoing operations of approximately $0.8 million.
Fourth-quarter 2014 operating results included a pair of inventory valuation adjustments. As part of its evaluation of operational performance, Film Products assessed the raw materials required to optimize the operational effectiveness of its production lines in flexible packaging films, which resulted in an inventory valuation adjustment of approximately $1.3 million. There was an additional inventory valuation adjustment of approximately $0.8 million associated with supplies inventories not expected to be utilized as a result of expected changes in product mix in personal care materials.
The change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S. had a favorable impact of approximately $4.5 million in 2014 compared to 2013. The estimated impact on operating profit from ongoing operations of the quarterly lag in the pass-through of average resin costs was approximately a negative $0.5of approximately $0.1 million in 20122014 compared to a negative $0.8of approximately $2.1 million in 2011.

Effective January 1, 2012, the operations of Bright View were incorporated into2013.


As previously noted, in 2014, Film Products lost certain babycare elastic laminate volumes sold to leverage researchP&G due to its consolidation of suppliers for its North American product needs. Net sales for this domestic product line were $17.1 million in 2014 and development efforts$50.9 million in 2013. The total impact of the loss of this business with P&G on operating results will not be fully realized until 2015, and accelerate new product development. Prior year balances for Bright View have been reclassifiedwhen realized, it is expected to negatively impact operating profit from ongoing operations on an annual basis by approximately $9 million. P&G remains an important customer to Film Products, and Film Products does not expect the loss of the elastic laminate volumes in North America to conformimpact other business or initiatives underway with P&G. The loss of this business resulted in the current year presentation. Operating losses for Bright Viewshutdown of the film products’ manufacturing facility in 2012Red Springs, North Carolina, a leased facility that was dedicated solely to this product line. Charges incurred related to the shutdown of the Red Springs manufacturing facility, which primarily consisted of severance and other employee-related costs, were consistent with 2011 at $3.8 million.

approximately $0.7 million in 2014 and $0.5 million in 2013.

Capital expenditures in Film Products were $30.5$38.8 million in 20122014 compared to $13.1$64.9 million in 2011, which2013. Capital expenditures in 2014 and 2013 included approximately $19.6$17 million in capital expendituresand $41 million, respectively, for athe project that willto expand our capacity at theFilm Products’ manufacturing facility in Cabo de Santo Agostinho, Brazil. The additional capacity from this project, which will primarily serve flexible packaging films customers in Latin America, became available for commercial production at the end of the third quarter of 2014, and production volumes started to ramp-up in the fourth quarter of 2014. Film Products currently estimates that capital expenditures will be approximately $80$31 million in 2015, which includes approximately $15 million for routine capital expenditures required to support operations. Depreciation expense was $27.0 million in 2014 and $30.4 million in 2013, which includesand is projected to be approximately $49$27 million for thein 2015. Amortization expense was $3.8 million in 2014 and $4.9 million in 2013, and is projected to be approximately $4 million in 2015.
Outlook
In 2013 and 2014 Film Products invested in multiple projects that it believes will facilitate long-term growth. As previously noted, additional capacity expansion project in Brazil. This multi-year project will significantly increase capacity in Brazil and primarily serveserving flexible packaging films customers in Latin America. Depreciation expense was $33.9 million in 2012America became available for commercial production at the end of the third quarter of 2014. In addition, capacity expansion projects for surface protection film and $34.9 million in 2011, and is projectedpersonal care materials are expected to be completed in the first half of 2015.
The global PET films industry has experienced significant capacity expansion in recent years, and lower-than-anticipated demand in Europe and Asia has driven suppliers from Asia and the Middle East to sell their excess inventories in Latin America. Given current global supply-demand dynamics, Film Products anticipates that market share in Brazil and other parts of Latin America will improve in the second half of 2015 and into 2016 as a result of increased capacity. With industry projections for annual global growth of PET films of approximately $32 million7% through 2018, Film Products expects global supply-demand dynamics to improve in 2013.

Aluminum Extrusions

On October 1, 2012, The William L. Bonnell Company acquired 100% ownership of AACOA. The purchase price, net of cash acquired, of $54.6 million was primarily funded using financing secured from our existing $350 million revolving credit facility. AACOA operates production facilities in Elkhart, Indiana and Niles, Michigan, andthe coming years.

Net sales in 20122014 increased versus 20112013 primarily due to the acquisitionhigher sales volumes and an increase in average selling prices. Higher sales volumes had a favorable impact of AACOA, partially offset by a decreaseapproximately $18.5 million in 2014. The increase in average selling prices, driven by lower aluminum prices and lower volume resulting from the shutdown of the Kentland facility. AACOA, which was acquiredhad a positive impact on October 1, 2012, had net sales of $19.5approximately $16.4 million, can be attributed to inflationary price increases, higher average aluminum costs and favorable changes in product mix due to a higher percentage of painted and anodized finished products as well as an increase in the fourth quartersales of 2012. Excluding the impact of the acquisition of AACOA and the Kentland plant shutdown, sales volume in 2012 increased 0.6% in comparison to 2011.

fabricated components.

Operating profit from ongoing operations increased in 20122014 versus 2011 due2013, primarily as a result of an improved product mix, higher volumes, the favorable impact of manufacturing efficiencies and reduced selling, general and administrative expenses. Higher sales volumes and improved product mix had a favorable impact of approximately $5.3 million in comparison to the prior year. Despite unanticipated utility, distribution and manufacturing costs as a result of adverse weather conditions in the first quarter of 2014, improved profitabilitymargins from the shutdown of our Kentland manufacturing facility, better pricing, lower energy costsefficiencies and the acquisition of AACOA.

Aluminum Extrusions closed its manufacturing facility in Kentland, Indiana in August 2012. The plant, whose core market was residential construction, previously employed 146 people. Charges associated with the Kentland shutdown were $3.6 million in 2012, and included accelerated depreciation on property, plant and equipment of approximately $2.4 million, severance and other employee-related costs of approximately $1.2 million and other shutdown-related charges of $2.3 million, partially offset by an adjustment for inventories accounted for under the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method of $1.5 million and gains on the sale of equipment of $0.8 million. Other shutdown-related costs are primarily comprised of equipment transfers, environmental assessments, estimated remediation costs, and other miscellaneous plant shutdown charges. Estimated cash expenditures for shutdown-related activities that are expected to be recognized in 2013 are approximately $1 million. The shutdown of our Kentland manufacturing facility had a favorable impact on operating profit from ongoing operations of approximately $2.5 million in 2012 compared to 2011. Starting in 2013, we estimate that on an annual basis the closure of Kentland will have a positive impact of approximately $4-5 million on segment In addition, operating profit from ongoing operations in future periods.

the prior year includes one-time, construction-related expense of approximately $0.6 million associated with the automotive press project at the Company’s manufacturing facility in Newnan, Georgia. The remaining portion of the change in operating profit from ongoing operations in 2014 compared to 2013 is primarily related to favorable pricing from value-added services.

Capital expenditures for Bonnell Aluminum were $2.3$6.1 million in 20122014 compared with $2.7$14.7 million in 2011.2013.

Interest expense, which includes the amortization of debt issue costs, was $3.6$2.7 million in 20122014 in comparison to $1.9$2.9 million in 2011 as a result of an increase in the average borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility were used to finance a portion of the purchase prices for the acquisition of Terphane in the fourth quarter of 2011 and the acquisition of AACOA in the fourth quarter of 2012.

2013.

The effective income tax rate used to compute income taxes from continuing operations was 29.8%20.7% in 20122014 compared with 26.4%32.1% in 2011.2013. Income taxes from continuing operations in 20122014 included the recognition of a tax benefit for a portion of the Company’s capital loss carryforwards of $4.9 million. These capital loss carryforwards were previously offset by a valuation allowance associated with expected limitations on the utilization of these assumed capital losses. As a result of changes in the underlying basis of certain foreign subsidiaries, income taxes from continuing operations in 2014 also included an adjustment of $2.2 million to reverse previously accrued deferred tax liabilities arising from changes in tax basis due to foreign currency translation adjustments and unremitted earnings. Income taxes from continuing operations in 2013 primarily reflect the benefit of current year foreign tax incentives, and income taxes for continuing operations in 2011 primarily reflect the recognition of estimated tax benefits from the divestiture of the film products business in Italy, partially offset by the

nondeductible acquisition-related expenses associated with the acquisition impact of Terphane by Film Products.adjustments for tax contingency matters. Significant differences between the effective tax rate for continuing operations and the U.S. federal statutory rate for 20122014 and 20112013 are further detailed in the effective income tax rate reconciliation provided in Note 17 beginning on page 76.

The net debt balance (total debt of $128.0$137.3 million in excess of cash and cash equivalents of $48.8$50.1 million) at December 31, 20122014 was $79.2$87.2 million, compared to a net debt balance (total debt of $125.0$139.0 million in excess of cash and cash equivalents of $68.9$52.6 million) at December 31, 20112013 of $56.1$86.4 million. Net debt, a financial measure that is not calculated or presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), is not intended to represent debt as defined by U.S. GAAP, but is utilized by management in evaluating financial leverage and equity valuation. We believeThe Company believes that investors also may find net debt helpful for the same purposes. Consolidated net capitalization and other credit measures are provided in the financial condition section beginning on page 29.

Critical Accounting Policies

In the ordinary course of business, we makethe Company makes a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial position in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We believeThe Company believes the following discussion addresses ourits critical accounting policies. These policies require management to exercise judgments that are often difficult, subjective and complex due to the necessity of estimating the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Impairment and Useful Lives of Long-lived Identifiable Assets and Goodwill

We assess our

The Company assesses its long-lived identifiable assets for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable from future cash flows. Any necessary impairment charges are recorded when we dothe Company does not believe the carrying value of the long-lived assetasset(s) will be recoverable. WeTredegar also reassessreassesses the useful lives of ourits long-lived assets based on changes in ourthe business and technologies.

We assessThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable, or, at a minimum, on an annual basis (December 1st of each year). OurThe reporting units in Film Products include, but are not limited to, Polyethylene and Polypropylene Films and PET Films. As of December 31, 2012,2014, each of the previously identified reporting units in Film Products was carrying a goodwill balance. We haveThere are two reporting units in Aluminum Extrusions, AACOA and Bonnell. All goodwill in Aluminum Extrusions is associated with the AACOA reporting unit.

In assessing the recoverability of goodwill and long-lived identifiable assets, we estimatethe Company estimates fair value using discounted cash flow analysis and comparative enterprise value-to-EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) multiples. These calculations require usmanagement to make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows, discount rates and other factors to determine if an impairment exists. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, wethe Company may be required to record additional impairment charges.

Based upon assessments performed as to the recoverability of long-lived identifiable assets, wethe Company recorded asset impairment losses for continuing operations of $1.0 million in 2012 $1.4 million(none in 20112014 and $0.6 million in 2010.

2013).

Investment Accounted for Under the Fair Value Method

In August 2007 and December 2008, weTredegar made an aggregate investment of $7.5 million in kaléo (formerly Intelliject, Inc.), a privately held specialty pharmaceutical company. This investment is accounted for under the fair value method. At the time of ourthe initial investment, wethe Company elected the fair value option over the equity method of accounting since ourits investment objectives were similar to those of venture capitalists, which typically do not have controlling financial

22



interests (venture capital funds generally use the fair value method to account for their investment portfolios). At December 31, 2012, our2014, Tredegar’s ownership interest was approximately 20% on a fully diluted basis.

We disclose

The Company discloses the level within the fair value hierarchy in which fair value measurements in their entirety fall, segregating fair value measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). On the dates of ourits investments, we believeTredegar believes that the amount weit paid for ourits ownership interest and liquidation preferences was based on Level

2 inputs, including investments by other investors. Subsequent to the last round of financing, and until the next round of financing, we believethe Company believes fair value estimates are based upon Level 3 inputs since there is no secondary market for ourTredegar’s ownership interest. In addition, Intelliject had no product sales as of December 31, 2012. Their first product launched in the first quarter of 2013. Accordingly, after the latest financing and until the next round of financing or any other significant financial transaction, fair value estimates will primarily be based on assumptions relating to meeting product development and commercialization milestones, cash flow projections (projections of development and commercialization milestone payments, sales, costs, expenses, capital expenditures and working capital investment) and discounting of these factors for the high degree of risk.

Adjustments to the estimated fair value of this investment will be made in the period upon which such changes can be quantified.

At December 31, 20122014 and 2011,2013, the fair value of ourthe Company’s investment (the carrying value included in “Other assets and deferred charges” in ourthe consolidated balance sheet) was $33.7$39.1 million and $17.6$37.1 million, respectively. The fair market valuation of ourTredegar’s interest in Intellijectkaléo is sensitive to changes in the weighted average cost of capital used to discount cash flow projections for the high degree of risk associated with meeting development and commercialization milestones as anticipated. At December 31, 2012,2014, the effect of a 500 basis point decrease in the weighted average cost of capital assumption would have further increased the fair value of ourthe Company’s interest in Intellijectkaléo by approximately $6 million, and a 500 basis point increase in the weighted average cost of capital assumption would have decreased the fair value of ourthe Company’s interest by approximately $5$6 million. Any future changes in the estimated fair value of our ownership interest will likely be attributed to a new round of financing, a merger or initial public offering or adjustments to the timing or magnitude of cash flows associated with development and commercialization milestones. Adjustments to the estimated fair value of our investment will be made in the period upon which such changes can be quantified.

Pension Benefits

We sponsor

Tredegar sponsors noncontributory defined benefit (pension) plans in ourits continuing operations that have resulted in varying amounts of net pension income or expense, as developed from actuarial valuations. Inherent in these valuations are key assumptions including discount rates, expected return on plan assets and rate of future compensation increases. We areThe Company is required to consider current market conditions, including changes in interest rates and plan asset investment returns, in determining these assumptions. Actuarial assumptions may differ materially from actual results due to changing market and economic conditions, higher or lower withdrawal rates or longer or shorter life spans of participants. These differences may result in a significant impact to the amount of net pension income or expense recorded in future periods.

The discount rate is used to determine the present value of future payments. The discount rate is the single rate that, when applied to expected benefit payments, provides a present value equal to the present value of expected benefit payments determined by using the AA-rated bond yield curve. In general, ourthe pension liability increases as the discount rate decreases and vice versa. The weighted average discount rate utilized was 4.17% at the end of 2014, 4.99% at the end of 2013 and 4.21% at the end of 2012, 4.95% at the end of 2011 and 5.45% at the end of 2010, with changes between periods due to changes in market interest rates. Based on plan changes announced in 2006, payPay for active participants of the plan was frozen as of December 31, 2007. Beginning in the first quarter of 2014, with the exception of plan participants at two of the Company’s U.S. manufacturing facilities, the plan will no longer accrue benefits associated with crediting employees for service, thereby freezing all future benefits under the plan.
A lower expected return on plan assets increases the amount of expense and vice versa. Decreases in the level of actual plan assets will also serve to increase the amount of pension expense. The total return on our plan assets, which is primarily affected by the change in fair value of plan assets, current year contributions and current year payments to participants, was 4.1% in 2014, 11.2% in 2013 and 8.9% in 2012, a negative 5.1% in 2011, and 11.4% in 2010. Our2012. The expected long-term return on plan assets relating to continuing operations, which is estimated by asset class and generally based on inflation-adjusted historical returns, volatilities, risk premiums and managed asset premiums, werewas 7.75% in 2014 and 2013, 8.0% in 2012 and 8.25% infrom 2009 to 2011 and 8.5% from 2004 to 2008. We anticipate2011. The Company anticipates that ourits expected long-term return on plan assets will be 7.75%7.5% for 2013.2015. See page 73 for more information on expected long-term return on plan assets and asset mix.

See the executive summary beginning on page 2019 for further discussion regarding the financial impact of ourthe Company’s pension plans.

Income Taxes

On a quarterly basis, we review ourTredegar reviews its judgments regarding uncertain tax positions and the likelihood that the benefits of a deferred tax asset will be realized. As circumstances change, we reflectthe Company reflects in earnings any adjustments to unrecognized benefits for uncertain tax positions and valuation allowances for deferred tax assets.

Tax payments resulting from the successful challenge by the taxing authority on uncertain tax positions taken by usTredegar would possibly result in the payment of interest and penalties. Accordingly, wethe Company also accrueaccrues for possible interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions. The balance of accrued interest and penalties on deductions taken relating to uncertain tax positions was approximately $0.1$0.3 million, $0.4$0.2 million and $0.1 million$60,000 at December 31, 2012, 20112014, 2013 and 2010,2012, respectively ($37,000, $0.20.2 million, $96,000 and $0.1 million,$37,000, respectively, net of corresponding federal and state income tax benefits). Accruals for possible interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions are reflected in income tax expense for financial reporting purposes.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards


In July 2012,April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updateda revised standard that changes current guidance for testing indefinite-lived intangible assetsdiscontinued operations. Under the revised standard, to be a discontinued operation, a component or group of components must represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. Failure to eliminate significant continuing cash flows of or involvement with a disposed component from an entity’s ongoing operations after a disposal no longer precludes presentation as a discontinued operation. Expanded disclosures for impairment.discontinued operations under the revised standard will also include more details about earnings and balance sheet accounts, total operating and investing cash flows and cash flows resulting from continuing involvement. New disclosures are also required for disposals of individually significant components that do not qualify as discontinued operations. The new guidance is to be applied prospectively to all new disposals of components and new classifications as held for sale for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company will implement this revised standard as transactions and events warrant.
In May 2014, the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) issued their converged standard on revenue recognition. The revised revenue standard providescontains principles that an entity will apply to direct the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. The core principle of the guidance is that the recognition of revenue should depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. To achieve that core principle, an entity will utilize a principle-based five-step approach model. The converged standard also includes more robust disclosure requirements which will require entities to provide sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with an optioncustomers. The amendments in this revised standard are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. The converged standard can be adopted either retrospectively or through the use of a practical expedient. The Company is still assessing the impact of this new guidance.
In June 2014, the FASB issued a new standard to performeliminate the concept of development stage entities and all related specified presentation and reporting requirements under U.S. GAAP. In addition, the amended standard eliminated the scope exception for development stage entities when evaluating the sufficiency of equity at risk for a “qualitative” assessmentvariable interest entity (“VIE”), thereby changing consolidation conclusions in some situations. Except for the elimination of the scope exception for development stage entities when evaluating the sufficiency of equity at risk for a VIE, the revised guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, including interim periods within that reporting period. The amendments to determine whether further testing is necessary when performing anthe consolidation guidance are effective for annual impairment assessment for indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill. Thisreporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period. The new standard is comparablenot expected to impact the Company.
In June 2014, the FASB amended the accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating grant-date value of the award, and compensation expense should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the guidance finalized last yearperiod(s) for goodwill impairment testing. An entity can still choose to bypasswhich the qualitative assessment for any indefinite-lived intangible asset in any period and proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test.requisite service has already been rendered. The revisedamended standard is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal yearsreporting periods beginning after SeptemberDecember 15, 2012. We do2015, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard is not expectexpected to impact the Company.

24



In January 2015, the FASB simplified income statement classification by removing the concept of extraordinary items. Items that this FASB accountingare both unusual and infrequent in nature will no longer be separately reported net of tax after continuing operations. The existing requirement to separately present items that are of an unusual nature or occur infrequently on a pre-tax basis within income from continuing operations has been retained and expanded to include items that are both unusual and infrequent. The standard will have a materialis effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, but only as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The new standard is not expected to impact on our financial statements and disclosures.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales was favorably impacted by lower pension expenses in 2014 compared to 2013. As previously noted, most of the impact of lower pension expense is not allocated to Film Products and Aluminum Extrusions. The gross profit margin in Film Products, was relatively flat primarilywhich does not include lower pension expenses, decreased due to lower volumes, competitive pricing pressures and higher manufacturing costs, partially offset by the favorable impact of the acquisition of Terphane and the lagchange in the pass-throughU.S. dollar value of higher resin costs, offset by lower volumes and margin compression, primarily in personal care materials. Grosscurrencies for operations outside the U.S. The gross profit margin in Aluminum Extrusions, which does not include lower pension expenses, increased primarily as a result of improved profitability from the shutdown of our Kentlandproduct mix, higher volumes, additional manufacturing facility, betterefficiencies and improved pricing and lower energy costs.on value-added services.

As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative and R&D expenses were 9.8%8.6% in 2012,2014, which decreased from 10.2%8.7% in 2011.2013. The decrease in selling, general and administrative and R&D expenses as a percentage of sales can be primarily attributed to higher salesthe reduction of selling, general and administrative costs in Aluminum Extrusions and lower acquisition-related expenditures in 2012. Acquisition-related expenses were $2.0 million in 2012 compared to $4.8 million in 2011.

2013 versus 20102012
Revenues.

Revenues.Sales in 20112013 increased by 7.6%8.7% compared with 20102012 due to higher sales in both Film Products and Aluminum Extrusions. Net sales (sales less freight) increased 2.8%1.5% in Film Products primarily due to the acquisition of Terphanehigher volumes, improved product mix and an increase in average selling prices from the pass-through of higher average resin prices, partially offset by lower volume in surface protection films and personal care materials. Net sales increased 20.4% in Aluminum Extrusions due to higher sales volume in most markets and an increase in average selling prices driven by higher aluminum prices.

Operating Costs and Expenses. Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of sales was 15.3% in 2011 and 17.0% in 2010. The gross profit margin in Film Products decreased primarily due to lower volumes in personal care materials and surface protection films, partially offset by the estimated favorable impact of the quarterly lag in the pass-through of changes in average resin costs, additional operating profits generated from the acquisition of Terphane, improved manufacturing efficiencies in 2011 and the change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S., partially offset by the negative impact of lower average selling prices. Net sales increased 26.1% in Aluminum Extrusions primarily due to the impact of the acquisition of AACOA, which was acquired on October 1, 2012. For more information on net sales and volume, see the executive summary beginning on page 19.

Operating Costs and Expenses. Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of sales was 15.2% in 2013 and 16.4% in 2012. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was negatively impacted by higher pension expenses in 2013 compared to 2012. The gross profit margin in Film Products, which does not include higher pension expenses, decreased primarily due to competitive pricing pressures, the negative impact of the estimated impact of the quarterly lag in the pass-through of average resin costs, higher production costs and operational inefficiencies in flexible packaging films, partially offset by a more favorable sales mix. Gross profit margin in Aluminum Extrusions, which does not include higher pension expenses, increased as a resultdue to higher average prices from additional value-added services, the impact of the acquisition of AACOA and lower fixed costs from the shutdown of our manufacturing facility in Kentland, Indiana, partially offset by higher sales volumes noted above.maintenance and production costs. For more information on operating costs and expenses, see the executive summary beginning on page 19.

As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative and R&D expenses were 10.2%8.7% in 2011,2013, which decreased from 11.0%9.8% in 2010.2012. The decrease in selling, general and administrative and R&D expenses as a percentage of sales can be primarily attributed to lower depreciation and acquisition-related expenses and the cost reduction efforts in 2011timing of certain legal and lower performance-based incentive accruals, partially offset by higher acquisition-related expenditures in 2011.

Business combination accounting principles under U.S. GAAP require that we adjust the inventory acquired in the acquisition of Terphane to fair value at the date of acquisition. In particular, finished goods inventory acquired was adjusted to reflect the cost of manufacturing plus a portion of the expected profit margin. The acquired inventory was sold in the fourth quarter of 2011. We believe that the adjustment included in “Cost of goods sold” in the fourth quarter of 2011 should be removed by investors as a means to determine profit and margins from ongoing operations, which reflect the operating trends of the acquired business.

The results of operations related to Falling Springs (net income of $0.7 million in 2011 and $0.2 million in 2010) have been classified as discontinued operations as a result of our divestiture of Fallings Springs in November 2012. In 2011, an accrual of $4.4 million ($4.4 million after taxes) waswere made for indemnifications under the purchase agreement associated with the 2008 sale of our aluminum extrusions business in Canada.

Financial Condition

Assets and Liabilities

Tredegar’s management continues to focus on improving working capital management, and measures such as days sales outstanding (“DSO”), days inventory outstanding (“DIO”) and days payables outstanding (“DPO”) are used by the Company to evaluate changes in working capital. Significant changes in assets and liabilities from continuing operations from December 31, 20112013 to December 31, 20122014 are summarized below:

Accounts and other receivables increased $2.5$14.1 million (2.5%(14.2%).

Accounts and other receivables in Film Products decreasedincreased by $6.8$5.1 million due mainly to the timing of cash receipts.

DSO (represents trailing 12 months net sales divided by a rolling 12-month average of accounts and other receivables balances) was approximately 46.2 days in 2014 and 43.2 days in 2013.

Accounts and other receivables in Aluminum Extrusions increased by $9.0 million primarily due to the addition of balances from the acquisition of AACOAhigher sales. DSO was approximately 45.3 days in 2014 and the timing of cash receipts.

Inventories in Film Products increased by approximately $7.9$0.8 million primarily due to the timing of shipments.

shipments at the end of the year. DIO (represents trailing 12 months costs of goods sold calculated on a first-in, first-out basis divided by a rolling 12-month average of inventory balances calculated on the first-in, first-out basis) was approximately 52.0 days in 2014 and 54.1 days in 2013.

Inventories in Aluminum Extrusions increased by approximately $5.5$2.8 million primarily due toas a result of new capacity at the addition of balances from the acquisition of AACOA.

Company’s manufacturing facility in Newnan, Georgia and higher sales volumes in 2014 versus 2013. DIO was approximately 24.1 days in 2014 and 25.0 days in 2013.

Net property, plant and equipment decreased $3.8$12.6 million (1.5%(4.5%) due primarily to depreciation of $43.5$35.4 million and a change in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies (a decrease of approximately $6.0$17.6 million) and asset impairments and property disposals of approximately $2.7 million,, partially offset by capital expenditures of $33.3 million and property and equipment added from the acquisition of AACOA of $15.1$44.9 million.

Goodwill and other intangibles increaseddecreased by $17.7$11.2 million (7.9%(4.9%) primarily due to balances added from the acquisition of AACOA, partially offset by amortization expense of $5.8$5.4 million and changes in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies (decrease of approximately $5.4 million). Identifiable intangible assets and goodwill associated with the acquisition were $14.6 million and $14.3 million, respectively.

Accounts payable in Aluminum Extrusions increased by $7.3$9.0 million, primarily due to the addition ofhigher inventory balances from the acquisition of AACOA and the timing of payments.

Accounts payable decreased DPO was approximately 48.0 days in corporate by $0.3 million due to the normal volatility associated with the timing of payments.

Accrued expenses increaseddecreased by $1.6$10.1 million (4.0%(24.0%) from December 31, 2011 primarily due2013.

payments for non-federal income and payroll related taxes.

Other noncurrent liabilities increased by $25.7$58.4 million (35.8%(105.3%) due primarily to the change in the funded status of ourthe Company’s defined benefit plans. As of December 31, 2012,2014, the funded status of ourthe defined benefit pension plan was a net liability of $83.3$96.4 million compared with $57.8$42.5 million as of December 31, 2011,2013, and the liability associated with ourthe other post-employment benefits plan was $8.9 million as of December 31, 2012 compared to $8.4 million as of December 31, 2011.

Net deferred income tax liabilities in excess of assets increaseddecreased by $8.5$34.8 million primarily due to numerous changes between years in the balance of the components shown in the December 31, 20122014 and 20112013 schedule of deferred income tax assets and liabilities provided in Note 17 beginning on page 76. Income taxes recoverable increased by $0.3The Company had an income tax receivable of $0.9 million at December 31, 2014 compared to a payable of $0.1 million at December 31, 2013.

At December 31, 2012,2014, the interest rate on debt borrowed under the revolving credit agreement was priced at one-month LIBOR plus the applicable credit spread of 150175 basis points. Market exposure related to changes in one-month LIBOR (assuming that the applicable credit spread remains at 150175 basis points) would not be material to ourthe consolidated financial results.

The Company has historically had indebtedness-to-adjusted EBITDA ratios of less than 2.0x.

As of December 31, 2014, Tredegar is in compliance with all financial covenants outlined in its revolving credit agreement. Noncompliance with any of the debt covenants may have a material adverse effect on financial condition or liquidity in the event such noncompliance cannot be cured or should wethe Company be unable to obtain a waiver from the lenders. Renegotiation of the covenant(s) through an amendment to the credit agreement may effectively cure the noncompliance, but may have an effect on financial condition or liquidity depending upon how the amended covenant is renegotiated.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBIT as defined in the credit agreement are not intended to represent net income or cash flow from operations as defined by U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as either an alternative to net income or to cash flow.

(1)Estimated minimum required contributions for defined benefit plans and benefit payments for other postretirement plans are based on actuarial estimates using current assumptions for discount rates, long-term rate of return on plan assets, rate of compensation increases and health care cost trends. The expected defined benefit plan contribution estimates for 20132015 through 20222024 were determined under provisions of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 using the preliminary assumptions chosen by Tredegar for the 20132015 plan year. Tredegar has determined that it is not practicable to present defined benefit contributions and other postretirement benefit payments beyond 2022.2024.

We believe that existing borrowing availability, our current cash balances and our cash flow from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital, capital expenditure and dividend requirements for the foreseeable future. At December 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $48.8 million, including funds held in locations outside the U.S. of $28.6 million. We accrue U.S. federal income taxes on unremitted earnings of all foreign subsidiaries except Terphane Ltda. (a subsidiary of Film Products). Deferred U.S. federal income taxes have not been provided on the undistributed earnings for Terphane Ltda. because of our intent to permanently reinvest these earnings. The cumulative amount of untaxed earnings was $23.0 million at December 31, 2012.

From time to time, we enterthe Company enters into transactions with third parties in connection with the sale of assets or businesses in which we agreeit agrees to indemnify the buyers or third parties involved in the transaction, or the sellers or third parties involved in the transaction agree to indemnify us,Tredegar, for certain liabilities or risks related to the assets or business. Also, in the ordinary course of our business, wethe Company may enter into agreements with third parties for the sale of goods or services that may contain indemnification provisions. In the event that an indemnification claim is asserted, liability for indemnification would be subject to an assessment of the underlying facts and circumstances under the terms of the applicable agreement. Further, any indemnification payments may be limited or barred by a monetary cap, a time limitation, or a deductible or basket. For these reasons, we arethe Company is unable to estimate the maximum potential amount of the potential future liability under the indemnity provisions of these agreements.

Shareholders’ Equity

At December 31, 2012, we2014, Tredegar had 32,069,370cash and cash equivalents of $50.1 million, including funds held in locations outside the U.S. of $40.5 million. The Company accrues U.S. federal income taxes to the extent permitted under U.S. GAAP on unremitted earnings of all foreign subsidiaries except Terphane Ltda. (a subsidiary of Film Products). Deferred U.S. federal income taxes have not been provided on the undistributed earnings for Terphane Ltda. because of the Company’s intent to permanently reinvest these earnings. Because of the accumulation of significant losses related to foreign currency translations at Terphane Ltda., there were no unrecorded deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2014 associated with the U.S. federal income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on undistributed earnings indefinitely invested outside the U.S. The Company believes that existing borrowing availability, current cash balances and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to satisfy working capital, capital expenditure and dividend requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Net cash flow provided inother financing activities was $120.4of approximately $3.3 million, in 2011, which is primarily due to borrowings of $125 million to fund the purchase of Terphane, partially offset by the payment of regular quarterly dividends of $5.8$9.0 million (4 1/2(28 cents per share per quarter)share).

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Tredegar has exposure to the volatility of interest rates, polyethylene, polypropylene and polypropylenepolyester resin prices, Terephtalic Acid (“PTA”) and Monoethylene Glycol (“MEG”) prices, aluminum ingot and scrap prices, energy prices, foreign currencies and emerging markets. See the assets and liabilities section beginning on page 2928 regarding interest rate exposures related to borrowings under the revolving credit agreement.

Changes in resin, PTA and MEG prices, and the timing of those changes, could have a significant impact on profit margins in Film Products. Profit margins in Aluminum Extrusions are sensitive to fluctuations in aluminum ingot and scrap prices as well as natural gas prices (natural gas is the principal energy source used to operate ourits casting furnaces). There is no assurance of ourthe Company’s ability to pass through higher raw material and energy costs to ourits customers.

See the executive summary beginning on page 2019 and the business segment review beginning on page 3837 for discussion regarding the impact of the lag in the pass-through of resin price changes.

The price of resin is driven by several factors including supply and demand and the price of oil, ethylene and natural gas. To address fluctuating resin prices, Film Products has index-based pass-through raw material cost agreements for the majority of its business. However, under certain agreements, changes in resin prices are not passed through for an average period of 90 days (see the executive summary on page 2019 and the business segment review on page 3837 for more information). Pricing on the remainder of ourthe Film Products business is based upon raw material costs and supply/supply and demand dynamics within the markets that we compete.

We attempt

Tredegar attempts to match the pricing and cost of ourits products in the same currency and generally view the volatility of foreign currencies (see trends for the Euro, Brazilian Real and Chinese Yuan in the chart below)on page 37) and emerging markets, and the corresponding impact on earnings and cash flow, as part of the overall risk of operating in a global environment. Exports from the U.S. are generally denominated in U.S. Dollars. OurThe Company’s foreign currency exposure on income from continuing foreign operations relates to the Euro, the Chinese Yuan, the Hungarian Forint, the Brazilian Real and the Indian Rupee.

In Film Products, where we are primarily able to match the currency of our sales and costs, we estimate that the change in value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar had a negative impact on operating profit from ongoing operations of approximately $1.4 million in 2012 compared to 2011, a positive impact on operating profit from ongoing operations of approximately $1.8 million in 2011 compared with 2010, a negative impact of approximately $1.3 million in 2010 compared with 2009.

For flexible packaging films produced in Brazil, we price ourFilm Products prices its products in U.S. Dollars, and key raw materials are also priced in U.S. Dollars. However, certain production costs, such as conversion costs and other fixed costs, are priced in Brazilian Real, which exposes our operating margins to some currency exposure.  In general, when the U.S. Dollar is strengthening versus the Brazilian Real, operating results will benefit from relatively lower costs, and when the U.S. Dollar is weakening

versus the Brazilian Real, operating results will be negatively impacted from relatively higher costs.

Film Products is generally able to match the currency of its sales and costs for its remaining product lines.

Tredegar estimates that the change in value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar had a favorable impact on operating profit from ongoing operations of approximately $4.5 million in 2014 compared to 2013, a favorable impact on operating profit from ongoing operations of approximately $7.0 million in 2013 compared with 2012, an unfavorable impact of approximately $1.4 million in 2012 compared with 2011.

Film Products

Net Sales.See the executive summary beginning on page 2019 for the discussion of net sales (sales less freight) in Film Products in 20122014 compared with 2011.2013.

In Film Products, net sales were $535.5$621.2 million in 2011,2013, an increase of 2.8%1.5% from $520.7$611.9 million in 2010.2012. Volume decreasedincreased to 218.7270.5 million pounds in 20112013 from 221.2270.3 million pounds in 2010.2012. Net sales in 20112013 increased compared to 20102012 primarily due to the acquisition of Terphanehigher volumes, improved product mix and an increase in average selling prices from the pass-through of higher average resin prices, partially offset by lower volume in surface protection films and personal care materials.

The slowdown in end-user demand for large-sized LCD panels, particularly in the high-end segment, negatively impacted the volumes of our surface protection films. In addition, reduced consumer demand for applications that utilize our premium personal care films also contributed to the reduction in sales volume. Terphane generated net sales of $28.3 million subsequent to its acquisition in October 2011.

Operating Profit. See the executive summary beginning on page 20 for the discussion of operating profit in Film Products in 2012 compared with 2011.

Operating profit from ongoing operations was $59.5 million in 2011, a decrease of 10.8% compared with $66.7 million in 2010. Operating profit from ongoing operations decreased in 2011 compared to 2010 due to the lower sales volumes in surface protection materials and personal care films. The impact of lower volumes was partially offset by a reduction in the unfavorable impact of the lag in the pass-through of higher resin costs, additional operating profits generated by the acquisition of Terphane, cost reduction efforts and improved manufacturing efficiencies in 2011, and favorable changeschange in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S., partially offset by the negative impact of lower average selling prices. Higher sales volumes and improved product mix in Film Products had a favorable impact of approximately $14.5 million in 2013 compared to 2012. Higher volumes in surface protection films and personal care materials were partially offset by lower volumes in flexible packaging films, polyethylene overwrap films and films for other markets. The estimated change in average selling prices, net of cost pass-throughs, had an unfavorable impact on net sales of $6.6 million. Average selling prices decreased primarily due to competitive pressures in flexible packaging and polyethylene overwrap films, partially offset by the favorable impact of the lagcontractual pass-through of certain costs, such as higher average resin prices. The change in the pass-through of changes in average resin costs was a negative $0.8 million in 2011 and a negative $6.4 million in 2010. The estimated favorable impact from U.S. dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S. was $1.8had a favorable impact on net sales of approximately $1.7 million in 20112013 compared to 2012.

Operating Profit. See the executive summary beginning on page 19 for the discussion of operating profit in Film Products in 2014 compared with 2010. Terphane2013.
Operating profit from ongoing operations was $71.0 million in 2013, an increase of 1.5% compared with $70.0 million in 2012. Higher sales volumes and a more favorable product mix in surface protection films and personal care materials, partially offset by the negative impact from lower volumes in flexible packaging films, had a favorable impact of approximately $10.3 million in 2013 compared to 2012. Price reductions that were not fully offset by related productivity gains had an estimated unfavorable impact of $10.0 million. Pricing pressures were primarily driven by global supply and demand dynamics in flexible packaging films. Higher production costs and operational inefficiencies further reduced current year operating profit from ongoing operations by approximately $7.1 million. Increased production expenditures were primarily associated with flexible packaging films due to its spending to increase productivity on an existing production line, inflation and staffing for the new production line to expand capacity in Brazil. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $2.3 million in 2013, primarily as a result of $3.0lower depreciation and the timing of legal expenses.
The change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S. had a favorable impact of approximately $7.0 million in 2013 compared to 2012. The estimated impact on operating profit from ongoing operations of the acquisition date through December 31, 2011, which included $0.9quarterly lag in the pass-through of average resin costs was approximately a negative $2.1 million of amortization expense and $0.9in 2013 compared to a negative $0.5 million of one-time reimbursementsin 2012. The net impact on operating profit from ongoing operations for customs duties.

Depreciation, Amortization and Capital Expenditures. Depreciation and amortization expense for Film Products was $30.7 million in 2014, $35.3 million in 2013 and $39.2 million in 2012, $36.3 million in 2011 and $34.4 million in 2010. The increase in depreciation2012. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased in 2012 compared with 2011 is primarily related to the acquisition of Terphane ($10.2 million in 20122014 compared to $2.1 million2013 and in 2011), partially offset by lower depreciation expense2013 compared to 2012 as certain assets becomingbecame fully depreciated. The increase in depreciation and amortization in 2011 compared to 2010 is related to the acquisition of Terphane. We estimateCompany estimates depreciation and amortization expense for Film Products will be approximately $37$31 million in 2013.2015 as additional depreciation from recent capacity expansion projects will be offset by reductions from certain assets becoming fully depreciated.

Capital expenditures totaled $38.8 million in 2014, $64.9 million in 2013 and $30.5 million in 2012, $13.1 million in 2011 and $15.8 million in 2010.2012. Capital expenditures in 2014, 2013 and 2012 include approximately $19.6$17 million, $41 million and $20 million, respectively, for the project to expand capacity at ourthe manufacturing facility in Cabo de Santo Agosthino, Brazil.

Net sales in Aluminum Extrusions were $240.4$309.5 million in 2011,2013, an increase of 20.4%26.1% from $199.6$245.5 million in 2010. 2012. The increase in net sales can be primarily attributed to the addition of AACOA, which was acquired on October 1, 2012. Net sales associated with AACOA were $88.1 million in 2013 compared to $19.5 million subsequent to the acquisition in 2012. Excluding the impact of its acquisition of AACOA and the shutdown of the manufacturing facility in Kentland, Indiana, volume was relatively flat in 2013. More than half of the volume that was produced at the Kentland manufacturing facility has been transferred to Aluminum Extrusions’ remaining facilities.
Operating profit from ongoing operations was $3.5$18.3 million in 2013, a positive change of $7.7$9.3 million from operating lossesprofit from ongoing operations of $4.2$9.0 million in 2010. Volume was 108.0 million pounds in 2011 compared to 94.9 million pounds in 2010.

The increase in net sales was due to higher volumes and an increase in average selling prices driven by higher average aluminum costs. Sales volume increased 13.8% in 2011 compared to 2010 as we developed new customer opportunities and were able to support key customers who continue to demonstrate strength in a difficult business environment. The improvement in results2012. Operating profit from ongoing operations increased primarily as a result of the addition of AACOA and cost savings associated with the 2012 shutdown of the Kentland manufacturing facility. The impact on operating profit from ongoing operations directly attributable to the acquisition of AACOA, including synergies, was approximately $4.8 million in 2011 reflects2013. The shutdown of the Kentland manufacturing facility had a favorable impact on operating profit from ongoing operations of approximately $2.3 million in 2013 compared to 2012.

In addition to the favorable impact of the addition of AACOA and cost savings associated with the 2012 shutdown of the Kentland manufacturing facility, lower supplies and maintenance-related expenditures in 2013, which had a favorable impact on operating profit from ongoing operations of approximately $0.7 million, were offset by construction-related expenses associated with the new automotive press project at the manufacturing facility in Newnan, Georgia of $0.6 million. The remaining increase in operating profit from ongoing operations can be attributed to favorable pricing on value-added services, partially offset by an unfavorable sales mix and higher volumes.

Identifiable Assets. Identifiable assets in Aluminum Extrusions were $143.3 million at December 31, 2014, $134.9 million at December 31, 2013 and $129.3 million at December 31, 2012, $78.7 million at December 31, 2011 and $81.7 million at December 31, 2010. The increase2012. Identifiable assets increased in identifiable assets between December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012 can be primarily attributed to the acquisition of AACOA.

The increase2012. Depreciation expense increased in 2014 versus 2013 primarily due to recent capital expenditures. Depreciation expense decreased in 2013 versus 2012 comparedprimarily due to 2011 is primarily attributed to approximately $2.4 million in accelerated depreciation on property, plant and equipment associated with shutdown ofat the Kentland manufacturing facility and impact of the acquisition of AACOA ($1.0approximately $2.4 million in additional depreciation and amortization expense in the fourth quarter of 2012), partially offset by certain assets becoming fully depreciated and lower than normal capital expenditures in 2012, 2011 and the second half of 2010.2012. The decrease between 2011 compared to 2010 is primarily attributed to certain assets becoming fully depreciated and lower than normal capital expenditures in 2011 and the second half of 2010. We estimateCompany estimates depreciation and amortization expense for Aluminum Extrusions to be approximately $8.5$10 million in 2013.2015.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Tredegar Corporation:


In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows and shareholders’ equity, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tredegar Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) at December 31, 20122014 and 2011,2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012 2014in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012,2014, based on criteria established inInternal Control—Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”)(COSO). The Company’sCompany's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company’sCompany's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As described in “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”, management has excluded AACOA, Inc. (“AACOA”) from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 because they were acquired by the Company in a business combination during 2012. We have also excluded AACOA from our audit of internal controls over financial reporting. AACOA is a wholly-owned business whose total assets and revenues represent approximately 8% and 2%, respectively of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Tredegar Corporation and Subsidiaries

1
1SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Nature of Operations.Tredegar Corporation and subsidiaries (collectively “Tredegar,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) are primarily engaged in the manufacture of plastic films and aluminum extrusions. See Notes 10 and 18 regarding restructurings and Note 3 regarding discontinued operations.

Basis of Presentation.The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of Tredegar and all of its majority-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. On February 12, 2008, weTredegar sold ourits aluminum extrusions business in Canada, and on November 20, 2012, wethe Company sold ourits mitigation banking business, Falling Springs, LLC (“Falling Springs”). All historical results for these businesses have been reflected as discontinued operations in these financial statements; however, cash flows for discontinued operations have not been separately disclosed in the consolidated statements of cash flows. See Note 3 regarding discontinued operations.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires usTredegar to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Certain amounts for the prior years have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
Foreign Currency Translation.The financial statements of subsidiaries located outside the U.S., where the local currency is the functional currency, are translated into U.S. Dollars using exchange rates in effect at the period end for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during each reporting period for results of operations. Adjustments resulting from the translation of these financial statements are reflected as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. We haveThere are no operating subsidiaries located outside the U.S. where the U.S. Dollar is the functional currency.

Transaction and remeasurement gains or losses included in income were not materiala loss of $1.5 million in 2012, 20112014, a loss of $0.4 million in 2013 and 2010.a gain of $16,000 in 2012. These amounts do not include the effects between reporting periods that exchange rate changes have on income of ourthe locations outside the U.S. that result from translation into U.S. Dollars.

Cash and Cash Equivalents.Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand in excess of daily operating requirements and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. At December 31, 20122014 and 2011,2013, Tredegar had cash and cash equivalents of $48.8$50.1 million and $68.9$52.6 million, respectively, including funds held in locations outside the U.S. of $28.6$40.5 million and $42.3$38.6 million, respectively.

Our

The Company’s policy permits investment of excess cash in marketable securities that have the highest credit ratings and maturities of less than one year. The primary objectives of the policy are safety of principal and liquidity.

Accounts and Other Receivables. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount invoiced to customers less allowances for doubtful accounts and sales returns. Accounts receivable are non-interest bearing and arise from the sale of product to customers under typical industry trade terms. Notes receivable are not significant. Past due amounts are determined based on established terms and charged-off when deemed uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on ouran assessment of probable losses taking into account past due amounts, customer credit profile, historical experience and current economic conditions. Other receivables include value-added taxes related to certain foreign subsidiaries and other miscellaneous receivables due within one year.

Inventories.Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis, the weighted average cost or the first-in, first-out basis. Cost elements included in work-in-process and finished goods inventories are raw materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead.

Property, Plant and Equipment.Accounts include costs of assets constructed or purchased, related delivery and installation costs and interest incurred on significant capital projects during their construction periods. Expenditures for renewals and betterments also are capitalized, but expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation applicable to assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts, and gains or losses thereon are included in income.

Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment include capitalized interest. Capitalized interest included in capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment were not materialwas $1.1 million, $0.9 million and $0.2 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, 2011 and 2010.

respectively.

Depreciation is computed primarily by the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets whichthat, except for certain isolated exceptions, range from 105 to 2540 years for buildings and land improvements and 2 to 1520 years for machinery and equipment. The average depreciation period for machinery and equipment is approximately 10 years in Film Products and for the continuing operations of Aluminum Extrusions.

Investments in Private Entities with Less Than or Equal to 50% Voting Ownership Interest.We account The Company accounts for ourits investments in private entities where ourits voting ownership is less than or equal to 50% based on the facts and circumstances surrounding the investment. WeInvestments are required to accountbe accounted for investments under the consolidation method in situations where we areTredegar is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The primary beneficiary is the party that has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. We areThe Company is deemed to have a controlling financial interest if we haveit has (i) the power to direct activities of the variable interest entity that most significantly impact its economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the variable interest entity that could potentially be significant to its operations.

If we arethe Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary in an investment in a variable interest entity then we selectit selects either: (i) the fair value method or (ii) either (a) the cost method if we doit does not have significant influence over operating and financial policies of the investee or (b) the equity method if we doit does have significant influence.

For those investments measured at fair value, U.S. GAAP requires disclosure of the level within the fair value hierarchy in which fair value measurements in their entirety fall, segregating fair value measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

Goodwill and Other Intangibles.The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets of acquired companies is allocated to goodwill. We assessThe Company assesses goodwill for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable, or, at a minimum, on an annual basis (December 1st of each year). OurThe Company’s significant reporting units in Film Products include Polyethylene and Polypropylene Films and PET Films. We haveThere are two reporting units in Aluminum Extrusions, Bonnell Aluminum and AACOA. All goodwill in Aluminum Extrusions is associated with the AACOA reporting unit. Each of ourthese reporting units has separately identifiable operating net assets (operating assets including goodwill and intangible assets net of operating liabilities).

We estimate

All goodwill in Aluminum Extrusions is associated with the AACOA reporting unit. A goodwill impairment charge of $30.6 million ($30.6 million after taxes), which represented the entire goodwill balance in the Bonnell Aluminum reporting unit, was recognized in 2009.
The Company estimates the fair value of ourits reporting units using discounted cash flow analysis and comparative enterprise value-to-EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) multiples. The goodwill of Polyethylene and Polypropylene Films reporting unit was tested for impairment at the annual testing date, with the estimated fair value of this reporting unit substantially exceeding the carrying value of its net assets. The goodwill of PET Films reporting unit was also tested for impairment at December 1, 2012,2014, with the estimated fair value of this reporting unit exceeding the carrying value of its net assets by approximately 23%31%. The goodwill of AAOCAAACOA is associated with the October 2012 acquisition of AACOA, Inc. (“AACOA”), and carrying value of its net assets approximate the estimated fair value of this reporting unit exceeded the carrying value of its net assets by approximately 63% at December 1, 2012.

2014.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets are assessed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable, or, at a minimum, on an annual basis (December 1st of each year). The Company estimates the fair value of its trade names using a relief-from-royalty method that relies upon a corresponding discounted cash flow analysis.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.We review The Company reviews long-lived assets for possible impairment when events indicate that an impairment may exist. For assets to bethat are held and used in operations, if events indicate that an asset may be impaired, we estimatethe Company estimates the future unlevered pre-tax cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Assets are grouped for this purpose at the lowest level for which there are identifiable and independent cash flows. If the sum of these undiscounted pre-tax cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is calculated. Measurement of the impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset group.

Assets that are held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or estimated fair value less cost to sell, with an impairment loss recognized for any write-down required.

Pension Costs and Postretirement Benefit Costs Other than Pensions.Pension costs and postretirement benefit costs other than pensions are accrued over the period employees provide service to Tredegar. Liabilities and expenses for pension plans and other postretirement benefits are determined using actuarial methodologies and incorporate significant assumptions, including the rate used to discount the future estimated liability, the long-term rate of return on plan assets, and several

51



assumptions relating to the employee workforce. We recognizeThe Company recognizes the funded status of ourits pension and other postretirement plans in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. OurTredegar’s policy is to fund ourits pension plans at amounts not less than the minimum requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) of 1974 and to fund postretirement benefits other than pensions when claims are incurred.

Revenue Recognition.Revenue from the sale of products, which is shown net of estimated sales returns and allowances, is recognized when title has passed to the customer, the price of the product is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Amounts billed to customers related to freight have been classified as sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. The cost of freight has been classified as a separate line in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction between Tredegar and its customers (such as value-added taxes) are accounted for on a net basis and therefore excluded from revenues.

Research & Development (“R&D”) Costs. R&D costs are expensed as incurred and include primarily salaries, wages, employee benefits, equipment depreciation, facility costs and the cost of materials consumed relating to R&D efforts. R&D costs include a reasonable allocation of indirect costs.

Income Taxes.Income taxes are recognized during the period in which transactions enter into the determination of income for financial reporting purposes, with deferred income taxes being provided at enacted statutory tax rates on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities (see Note 17). Deferred U.S. federal income taxes have not been provided onrecorded for the undistributed earnings for Terphane Ltda. (a subsidiary of Film Products) because of ourthe Company’s intent to permanently reinvest these earnings. The cumulative amountBecause of untaxed earnings was $23.0 millionthe accumulation of significant losses related to foreign currency translations at Terphane Ltda. as of December 31, 2012. We accrue2014, there were no unrecorded deferred tax liabilities associated with the U.S. federal income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on undistributed earnings indefinitely invested outside the U.S. The Company accrues U.S. federal income taxes to the extent permitted under U.S. GAAP on unremitted earnings of all other foreign subsidiaries.
A valuation allowance is recorded in the period when the Company determines that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets may not be realized. The establishment and removal of a valuation allowance requires the Company to consider all positive and negative evidence and make a judgmental decision regarding the amount of valuation allowance required as of a reporting date. The benefit of an uncertain tax position is included in the accompanying financial statements when we determinethe Company determines that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained, based on the technical merits of the position, if the taxing authority examines the position and the dispute is litigated. This determination is made on the basis of all the facts, circumstances and information available as of the reporting date.

Earnings Per Share.Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average common and potentially dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding, determined as follows:

Stock-Based Employee Compensation Plans.Compensation expense is recorded on all share-based awards based upon its calculated fair value over the requisite service period using the graded-vesting method. The fair value of stock option awards was estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock awards was estimated as of the grant date using ourthe closing stock price on that date.

The dividend yield is the dividend yield on our common stock at the date of grant, which we believethe Company believes is a reasonable estimate of the expected yield during the holding period. We calculateThe expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of ourTredegar’s common stock using a sequential period of historical data equal to the expected holding period of the option. We haveThe Company has no reason to believe that future volatility for this period is likely to differ from the past. The assumed risk-free interest rate is based on observed interest rates (zero coupon U.S. Treasury debt securities) appropriate for the expected holding period. The expected holding period and forfeiture assumptions are based on historical experience. Estimated forfeiture assumptions are reviewed through the vesting period. Adjustments are made if actual forfeitures differ from previous estimates. The cumulative effect of a change in estimated forfeitures is recognized in the period of the change.

Financial Instruments.We use Tredegar uses derivative financial instruments for the purpose of hedging aluminum price volatility and currency exchange rate exposures that exist as part of transactions associated with our ongoing business operations. OurThe Company’s derivative financial instruments are designated as and qualify as cash flow hedges and are recognized in the accompanying balance sheet at fair value. A change in the fair value of the derivative that is highly effective as and that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge is recorded in other comprehensive income. Gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified to earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows of the hedged transaction. Such gains and losses are reported on the same line as the underlying hedged item, and the cash flows related to financial instruments are classified in the consolidated statements of cash flows in a manner consistent with those of the transactions being hedged. Any hedge ineffectiveness (which represents the amount by which the changes in the fair value of the derivative exceed the variability in the cash flows of the forecasted transaction) is recorded in current period earnings. The amount of gains and losses recognized for hedge ineffectiveness were not material in 2012, 20112014, 2013 and 2010.2012.

Our

The Company’s policy requires that weit formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as ourits risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. WeThe Company also formally assessassesses (both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis) whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of hedged items and whether those

53



derivatives may be expected to remain highly effective in future periods. When it is determined that a derivative is not (or has ceased to be) highly effective as a hedge, we discontinuethe Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively.

As a policy, we doTredegar does not engage in speculative or leveraged transactions, nor do wedoes it hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. Additional disclosure of ourthe utilization of derivative hedging instruments is included in Note 9.

Comprehensive Income (Loss).Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as net income or loss and other comprehensive income or loss. Other comprehensive income (loss) includes changes in foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized gains and losses on derivative financial instruments, prior service costs and net gains or losses from pension and other postretirement benefit plans arising during the period and amortization of these prior service costs and net gains or losses adjustments, all recorded net of deferred income taxes.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards. In July 2012,April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updateda revised standard that changes current guidance for testing indefinite-lived intangible assetsdiscontinued operations. Under the revised standard, to be a discontinued operation, a component or group of components must represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. Failure to eliminate significant continuing cash flows of or involvement with a disposed component from an entity’s ongoing operations after a disposal no longer precludes presentation as a discontinued operation. Expanded disclosures for impairment.discontinued operations under the revised standard will also include more details about earnings and balance sheet accounts, total operating and investing cash flows and cash flows resulting from continuing involvement. New disclosures are also required for disposals of individually significant components that do not qualify as discontinued operations. The new guidance is to be applied prospectively to all new disposals of components and new classifications as held for sale for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company will implement this revised standard as transactions and events warrant.
In May 2014, the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) issued their converged standard on revenue recognition. The revised revenue standard providescontains principles that an entity will apply to direct the measurement of

55



revenue and timing of when it is recognized. The core principle of the guidance is that the recognition of revenue should depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. To achieve that core principle, an entity will utilize a principle-based five-step approach model. The converged standard also includes more robust disclosure requirements which will require entities to provide sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with an optioncustomers. The amendments in this revised standard are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. The converged standard can be adopted either retrospectively or through the use of a practical expedient. The Company is still assessing the impact of this new guidance.
In June 2014, the FASB issued a new standard to performeliminate the concept of development stage entities and all related specified presentation and reporting requirements under U.S. GAAP. In addition, the amended standard eliminated the scope exception for development stage entities when evaluating the sufficiency of equity at risk for a “qualitative” assessmentvariable interest entity (“VIE”), thereby changing consolidation conclusions in some situations. Except for the elimination of the scope exception for development stage entities when evaluating the sufficiency of equity at risk for a VIE, the revised guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, including interim periods within that reporting period. The amendments to determine whether further testing is necessary when performing anthe consolidation guidance are effective for annual impairment assessment for indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill. Thisreporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period. The new standard is comparablenot expected to impact the Company.
In June 2014, the FASB amended the accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating grant-date value of the award, and compensation expense should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the guidance finalized last yearperiod(s) for goodwill impairment testing. An entity can still choose to bypasswhich the qualitative assessment for any indefinite-lived intangible asset in any period and proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test.requisite service has already been rendered. The revisedamended standard is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal yearsreporting periods beginning after SeptemberDecember 15, 2012. We do2015, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard is not expectexpected to impact the Company.
In January 2015, the FASB simplified income statement classification by removing the concept of extraordinary items. Items that this FASB accountingare both unusual and infrequent in nature will no longer be separately reported net of tax after continuing operations. The existing requirement to separately present items that are of an unusual nature or occur infrequently on a pre-tax basis within income from continuing operations has been retained and expanded to include items that are both unusual and infrequent. The standard will have a materialis effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, but only as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The new standard is not expected to impact on our financial statements and disclosures.

2ACQUISITIONS

On October 1, 2012, The William L. Bonnell Company, Inc. acquired 100% ownership of AACOA. AACOA operates production facilities in Elkhart, Indiana and Niles, Michigan. Its primary markets include consumer durables, machinery and equipment and transportation. The acquisition will addadded fabrication capabilities to Aluminum Extrusions’ current array of products and services while providing AACOA with large press capabilities and enhanced geographic sales coverage in a variety of end-use markets.

All post-closing adjustments related to the purchase price for AACOA were resolved in 2013. Adjustments to the purchase price were made retrospectively as if the accounting had been completed on the acquisition date. After certain post-closing adjustments (primarily related to working capital transferred), the purchase price, net of cash acquired, was $54.6 million.$54.1 million, which includes $0.6 million that was received from the seller in 2013. The purchase price was funded using financing secured from ourthe Company’s existing $350 million revolving credit facility.

The final purchase price continues to be subject to certain post-closing contractual adjustments. If information becomes available that would indicate adjustments are required to the purchase price or the purchase price allocation prior to the end of the measurement period for finalizing the purchase price allocation, such adjustments will be included in the purchase price allocation retrospectively.

On October 14, 2011, TAC Holdings, LLC (the “Buyer”) and Tredegar Film Products Corporation, which are indirect and direct, respectively, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Tredegar, entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Gaucho Holdings, B.V. (the “Seller”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Vision Capital Partners VII LP (“Vision Capital”). On October 24, under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer acquired from the Seller 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Terphane Holdings, LLC (“Terphane”).

Terphane operates manufacturing facilities in Cabo de Santo Agostinho, Brazil and Bloomfield, New York. It is a producer of thin polyester films in Latin America with a growing presence in strategic niches in the U.S. Polyester films have specialized properties, such as heat resistance and barrier protection, that make them uniquely suited for the fast-growing flexible packaging market. We expect that the acquisition of Terphane will allow us to extend our product offerings into adjacent specialty films markets and to expand in Latin America.

All post-closing adjustments related to the purchase price for Terphane have beenwere resolved in 2012.2012, which resulted in a payment to the seller of $3.3 million. Adjustments to the purchase price were made retrospectively as if the accounting had been completed on the acquisition date. Upon completing these post-closing adjustments, which were primarily related to working capital transferred, the total purchase price (net of cash acquired) was $182.7 million. The purchase price was funded using available cash (net of cash received) of approximately $57.7 million and financing of $125 million secured from Tredegar’s former revolving credit facility.

3DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On November 20, 2012, Tredegar Real Estate Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, sold its membership interests in Falling Springs to Arc Ventures, LC for $16.6 million. Arc Ventures, LC is a Virginia limited liability company affiliated with John D. Gottwald, a member of ourTredegar’s Board of Directors. The purchase price was comprised of $12.8 million of cash and 209,576 shares of common stock of Tredegar owned by Arc Ventures, LC. The corresponding loss on sale of $3.1 million, which includes transaction-related expenses of $0.5 million, and the results of operations related to Falling Springs have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. For the yearsyear ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, sales of $3.2 million $3.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively, have been reclassified to discontinued operations, and net income of $0.5 million $0.7 million and $0.2 million havehas been reclassified to discontinued operations in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.2012. Falling Springs was formerly a component of the Other segment.

On February 12, 2008, wethe Company sold ourits aluminum extrusions business in Canada for approximately $25.0 million to an affiliate of H.I.G. Capital. In 20122014, accruals for indemnifications under the purchase agreement related to environmental matters were adjusted, resulting in income from discontinued operations of $0.9 million ($0.9 million net of tax). In 2013 and 2011,2012, accruals of $14.0 million ($14.0 million net of tax) and $13.4 million ($13.4 million net of tax) and $4.4 million ($4.4 million net of tax), respectively, were made for indemnifications under the purchase agreement related to environmental matters.

4INVESTMENTS

In August 2007 and December 2008, weTredegar made an aggregate investment of $7.5 million in Intelliject,kaleo, Inc. (“Intelliject”kaléo”), a privately held specialty pharmaceutical company.company formerly known as Intelliject, seeksInc. The mission of kaléo is to set a new standard in drug/device combination pharmaceuticalslife-saving personal medical products designed to enable superior treatment outcomes, improved cost effectiveness and intuitive patient administration. OurThe Company’s ownership interest on a fully diluted basis is approximately 20%, and the investment is accounted for under the fair value method. At the time of ourthe initial investment, wethe Company elected the fair value option over the equity method of accounting since ourits investment objectives were similar to those of venture capitalists, which typically do not have controlling financial interests. WeThe Company recognized a net unrealized gain of $2.0 million ($1.0 million after taxes) in 2014 that primarily related to favorable adjustments in the fair value for the passage of time as anticipated cash flows associated with achieving product development and commercialization milestones were discounted at 45% for their high degree of risk and the impact of reducing the weighted average cost of capital used to discount cash flow projections after kaléo commercialized a second product, partially offset by unfavorable adjustments in the fair value due to a reassessment of the amount and timing of estimated cash flows associated with kaléo’s commercialized products.
The Company recognized an unrealized gain of $3.4 million ($2.2 million after taxes) in 2013 related to favorable adjustments in the fair value for the passage of time as anticipated cash flows associated with achieving product development and commercialization milestones were discounted at 55% for their high degree of risk, partially offset by unfavorable adjustments in the fair value due to a reassessment of the amount and timing of projected receipt of royalty and milestone payments from commercial sales of kaléo’s licensed product, which launched in early 2013, and unfavorable adjustments for higher development and commercialization expenses related to its product pipeline.
In 2012, the Company recognized an unrealized gain of $16.1 million ($10.2 million after taxes) in 2012 attributed to various factors, most notably:

notably a favorable adjustment to the timing and amount of anticipated cash flows derived from updated marketing research;

the passage of time as anticipated cash flows associated with achieving product development commercialization milestones are discounted at 55% for their high degree of risk; and

a reduction in the weighted average cost of capital used to discount cash flows in ourthe first-quarter valuation in the first quarter to reflect the completion of certain process testing and a reassessment of the risk associated with the timing for obtaining final marketing approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the company’s first product.

We recognized an unrealized gain of $1.6 million ($1.0 million after taxes) in 2011 attributed to the appreciation of our interest upon changes in the market dynamics and pricing associated with an upcoming product introduction and the addition of projects to the product pipeline. In 2010, we recognized an unrealized loss of $2.2 million ($1.4 million after taxes) for the estimated changes in the fair value of our investment after Intelliject, which had its new drug application to the FDA accepted for review during the fourth quarter, reassessed its projected timeframe for obtaining final marketing approval from the FDA. Unrealized gains (losses) associated with this investment are included in “Other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statements of income and separately stated in the segment operating profit table in Note 5.

At December 31, 20122014 and 2011,2013, the estimated fair value of ourthe Company’s investment (included in “Other assets and deferred charges” in the consolidated balance sheets) was $33.7$39.1 million and $17.6$37.1 million, respectively. Subsequent to ourits most recent investment (December 15, 2008), and until the next round of financing, we believethe Company believes fair value estimates are based upon Level 3 inputs since there is no secondary market for ourits ownership interest. In addition, Intelliject did not have any product sales as of December 31, 2012. Their first product launched in the first quarter of 2013. Accordingly, until the next round of financing or any other significant financial transaction, value estimates will primarily be based on assumptions relating to meeting product development and commercialization milestones, cash flow projections (projections of development and commercialization milestone payments, sales, costs, expenses, capital expenditures and working capital investment) and discounting of these factors for thetheir high degree of risk. As a result, any future changes in the estimated fair value of our ownership interest will likely be attributed to a new round of financing, a merger or initial public offering or adjustments to the timing or magnitude of cash flows associated with development and commercialization milestones. If Intellijectkaléo does not meet its development and commercialization milestones and there are indications that the amount or timing of its projected cash flows or related risks are unfavorable versus ourthe most recent valuation, or a new round of financing or other significant financial transaction indicates a lower enterprise value, then ourthe Company’s estimate of the fair value of ourits ownership interest in the companykaléo is likely to decline. Adjustments to the estimated fair value of ourthis investment will be made in the period upon which such changes can be quantified.

The fair market valuation of ourTredegar’s interest in Intellijectkaléo is sensitive to changes in the weighted average cost of capital used to discount cash flow projections for the high degree of risk associated with meeting development and commercialization milestones as anticipated. The weighted average cost of capital used in the fair market valuation of ourthe Company’s interest in Intellijectkaléo was 45% and 55% at December 31, 20122014 and 60% at December 31, 2011.2013, respectively. In 2014, the weighted average cost of capital used to discount cash flow projections was decreased to reflect lower product risk after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s approval of kaléo’s naloxone auto-injector for emergency treatment of known or suspected opioid overdoses and reduced funding risk subsequent to kaléo securing new debt financing, both of which occurred in April 2014. At December 31, 2012,2014, the effect of a 500 basis point decrease in the weighted average cost of capital assumption would have further increased the fair value of ourTredegar’s interest in Intellijectkaléo by approximately $6 million, and a 500 basis point increase in the weighted average cost of capital assumption would have decreased the fair value of ourthe Company’s interest by approximately $5$6 million.

Had wethe Company not elected to account for ourits investment under the fair value method, weit would have been required to use the equity method of accounting.

The audited financial statements and accompanying footnotes of Intellijectkaléo as of December 31, 20122014 and 20112013 and for the years ended December 31, 2012, 20112014, 2013 and 20102012 have been included as an exhibit to ourthe Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20122014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

On April 2, 2007, weTredegar invested $10.0 million in Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations Fund, L.P. (“Harbinger”(the “Harbinger Fund”), a private investment fund that is subject to limitations on withdrawal. There is no secondary market for interests in the fund. OurThe Company’s investment in the Harbinger Fund, which represents less than 2% of its total partnership capital, is accounted for under the cost method. We recorded unrealizedUnrealized losses on the Company’s investment in the Harbinger Fund (included in “Other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statements of income) were $0.8 million ($0.4 million after taxes), $0.4 million ($0.3 million after taxes) and $1.1 million ($0.7 million after taxes) in 2014, 2013 and $0.6 million ($0.4 million after taxes) on our investment in Harbinger in 2012, and 2011, respectively, as a result of a reduction in the estimated fair value of ourthe investment that is not expected to be temporary. The December 31, 20122014 and 20112013 carrying value in the consolidated balance sheets (included in “Other assets and deferred charges”) was $3.6$1.8 million and $5.2$2.8 million, respectively. The carrying value at December 31, 20122014 reflected Tredegar’s cost basis in its investment in Harbinger, net of total withdrawal proceeds received and unrealized losses. Withdrawal proceeds were $0.2 million in 2014, $0.4 million in 2013 and $0.5 million in 2012 and $0.6 million in 2011.2012. The timing and amount of future installments of withdrawal proceeds was not known as of December 31, 2012.2014. There were no realized gains or losses associated with ourthe investment in the Harbinger Fund in 2012, 20112014, 2013 and 2010.2012. Gains on ourthe Company’s investment in the Harbinger Fund, if any, will be recognized when the amounts expected to be collected from our withdrawal from the investment are known, which will likely be when cash in excess of ourthe remaining carrying value is received. Losses will be recognized if management believes it is probable that future withdrawal proceeds will not exceed the remaining carrying value.

Tredegar has investment property in Alleghany and Bath County, Virginia. The Company realized a gain (included in “Other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statements of income) of $1.2 million ($0.8 million after taxes) on a sale of a portion of this investment property in 2014. The Company recorded an unrealized loss on its investment property in Alleghany and Bath County, Virginia of $1.0 million ($0.6 million after taxes) in 2013 as a result of a reduction in the estimated fair value of the investment that is not expected to be temporary. The Company’s carrying value in this investment property (included in “Other assets and deferred charges” on the consolidated balance sheets) was $2.6 million at December 31, 2014 and $5.9 million at December 31, 2013.

Our

Tredegar’s primary business segments are Film Products and Aluminum Extrusions. InBeginning in February 2010, wethe Company started reporting an additional segment, Other, comprised of the start-up operations of Bright View and Falling Springs. Effective January 1, 2012, the operations and results of Bright View were incorporated into Film Products to leverage research and development efforts and accelerate new product development. Prior year balances for Bright View have been reclassified to Film Products to conform with the current year presentation. As discussed in Note 3, Falling Springs was divested in the fourth quarter ofNovember 2012. All historical results for this business have been reflected as discontinued operations. With the sale of Falling Springs, there is no longer an Other segment to report.

Based on the severity of the economic downturn and its impact on the sales volumes of our aluminum extrusions business, the resulting operating loss in the first quarter of 2009, possible future losses and the uncertainty in the amount and timing of an economic recovery, a goodwill impairment charge of $30.6 million ($30.6 million after taxes) was recognized in Aluminum Extrusions in 2009.

9FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

We use

Tredegar uses derivative financial instruments for the purpose of hedging margin exposure from fixed-price forward sales contracts in Aluminum Extrusions and currency exchange rate exposures that exist as part of ongoing business operations (primarily in Film Products). OurThese derivative financial instruments are designated as and qualify as cash flow hedges and are recognized in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The fair value of derivative instruments recorded on the consolidated balance sheets are based upon Level 2 inputs. If individual derivative instruments with the same counterparty can be settled on a net basis, we recordthe Company records the corresponding derivative fair values as a net asset or net liability.

In the normal course of business, we enterAluminum Extrusions enters into fixed-price forward sales contracts with certain customers for the future sale of fixed quantities of aluminum extrusions at scheduled intervals. In order to hedge our margin exposure created from the fixing of future sales prices relative to volatile raw material (aluminum) costs, we enterAluminum Extrusions enters into a combination of forward purchase commitments and futures contracts to acquire or hedge aluminum, based on the scheduled purchases for the firm sales commitments. The fixed-price firm sales commitments and related hedging instruments generally have durations of not more than 12 months, and the notional amount of aluminum futures contracts that hedged future purchases of aluminum to meet fixed-price forward sales contract obligations was $6.2$8.6 million (6.7(7.8 million pounds of aluminum) at December 31, 20122014 and $10.8$8.0 million (11.0(8.4 million pounds of aluminum) at December 31, 2011.

The table below summarizes the location and gross amounts of aluminum derivative contract fair values (Level 2) in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 20122014 and 2011:

In the event that a counterparty to an aluminum fixed-price forward sales contract chooses not to take delivery of its aluminum extrusions, the customer is contractually obligated to compensate usAluminum Extrusions for any losses on the related aluminum futures and/or forward purchase contracts through the date of cancellation. The offsetting asset and liability positions for derivatives not designated as hedging instruments included in the table above are associated with the unwinding of aluminum futures contracts that relatedue to such cancellations.

11DEBT AND CREDIT AGREEMENTS

On April 23, 2012, weTredegar entered into a $350 million five-year, unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”), with an option to increase that amount by an additional $75 million. The Credit Agreement replaced ourthe previous $300 million four-year, unsecured revolving credit facility that was due to expire on June 21, 2014. In connection with the refinancing, wethe Company borrowed $102 million under the Credit Agreement, which was used, together with available cash on hand, to repay all indebtedness under ourthe previous revolving credit facility.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear an interest rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread and commitment fees charged on the unused amount under the Credit Agreement at various indebtedness-to-adjusted-EBITDA levels as follows:

At December 31, 2012,2014, the interest cost on debt borrowed under the Credit Agreement was priced at one-month LIBOR plus the applicable credit spread of 150175 basis points.

The most restrictive covenants in the Credit Agreement include:

Maximum indebtedness-to-adjusted EBITDA of 3.0x;

Minimum adjusted EBIT-to-interest expense of 2.5x;

Maximum aggregate distributions to shareholders over the term of the Credit Agreement of $100 million plus, beginning with the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012, 50% of net income; and

Minimum shareholders’ equity (as defined in the Credit Agreement) at any point during the term of the Credit Agreement of at least $320 million increased on a cumulative basis at the end of each fiscal quarter, beginning with the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012, by an amount equal to 50% of net income (to the extent positive).

At December 31, 2012,2014, based upon the most restrictive covenants within the Credit Agreement, available credit under the Credit Agreement was approximately $199$155 million. Total debt due and outstanding at December 31, 20122014 is summarized below:

Tredegar believes that it was in compliance with all of ourits debt covenants as of December 31, 2012.2014. Noncompliance with any of the debt covenants may have a material adverse effect on financial condition or liquidity in the event such noncompliance cannot be cured or should wethe Company be unable to obtain a waiver from the lenders. Renegotiation of the covenant through an amendment to the Credit Agreement may effectively cure the noncompliance, but may have an effect on financial condition or liquidity depending upon how the covenant is renegotiated.

14RETIREMENT PLANS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

We sponsor

Tredegar sponsors noncontributory defined benefit (pension) plans covering mostcertain current and former employees. The plans for salaried and hourly employees currently in effect are based on a formula using the participant’s years of service and compensation or using the participant’s years of service and a dollar amount. The plan is closed to new participants, and based on plan changes announced in 2006, pay for active participants of the plan was frozen as of December 31, 2007.

Beginning in 2014, with the exception of plan participants at two of the Company’s U.S. manufacturing facilities, the plan no longer accrues benefits associated with crediting employees for service, thereby freezing all future benefits under the plan.

In addition to providing pension benefits, we providethe Company provides postretirement life insurance and health care benefits for certain groups of employees. Tredegar and retirees share in the cost of postretirement health care benefits, with employees hired on or before January 1, 1993, receiving a fixed subsidy to cover a portion of their health care premiums. WeThe Company eliminated prescription drug coverage for Medicare-eligible retirees as of January 1, 2006. Consequently, we areTredegar is not eligible for any federal subsidies.

The following tables reconcile the changes in benefit obligations and plan assets in 20122014 and 2011,2013, and reconcile the funded status to prepaid or accrued cost at December 31, 20122014 and 2011:

Net benefit income or cost is determined using assumptions at the beginning of each year. Funded status is determined using assumptions at the end of each year. Pension and other postretirement liabilities for continuing operations of $92.1 million and $66.2 million are included in “Other noncurrent liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The amount of ourthe accumulated benefit obligation is the same as ourthe projected benefit obligation.

At December 31, 2012,2014, the effect of a 1% change in the health care cost trend rate assumptions would be immaterial.

Target percentages for the composition of plan assets represents a neutral position within the approved range of
allocations for such assets.

Expected long-term returns are estimated by asset class and generally are based on inflation-adjusted historical returns, volatilities, risk premiums and managed asset premiums. The portfolio of fixed income securities is structured with maturities that generally match estimated benefit payments over the next 1-2 years. Other assets are primarily comprised of cash and contracts with insurance companies. OurThe Company’s primary investment objective is to maximize total return with a strong emphasis on the preservation of capital. We believecapital, and it believes that over the long termlong-term a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities, equity securities, hedge funds and private equity funds has a better risk-return profile than fixed income securities alone. The average remaining duration of benefit payments for ourthe pension plans is about 1312.7 years. We expect ourThe Company expects its required contributions to be approximately $0.2$2.4 million in 2013.

The reduction in income taxes from continuing operations in 2014 in comparison to prior years can be attributed to a pair of distinct tax adjustments. In recent years the Company has been evaluating various tax advantageous methods for executing its overall growth and international expansion strategies. The Company, having been authorized by its management in the fourth quarter of 2014 to proceed, implemented an international tax planning strategy that generated capital gains. These capital gains were offset against previously recorded capital losses on certain investments. Income taxes from continuing operations in 2014 therefore included the recognition of a tax benefit of $4.9 million related to a portion of its capital loss carryforwards that were previously offset by a valuation allowance associated with expected limitations on the utilization of historic capital losses carried over from the previous years. In addition, as previously discussed in Note 1, with the exception of Terphane Ltda., the Company accrues U.S. federal income taxes to the extent required under U.S. GAAP on unremitted earnings from foreign operations. As a result of changes in the underlying basis of certain foreign subsidiaries, income taxes from continuing operations in 2014 included an adjustment of $2.2 million in the fourth quarter, $1.7 million of which

is a correction to prior years, to reverse previously accrued deferred tax liabilities accumulated over several years arising from changes in tax basis due to foreign currency translation adjustments and unremitted earnings. The corresponding prior period changes in the underlying basis of certain foreign subsidiaries primarily occurred before 2010, and the prior period components are not considered material to any period presented.
The Brazilian federal statutory income tax rate is a composite of 34.0% (25.0% of income tax and 9.0% of social contribution on income). Terphane’s manufacturing facility in Brazil iswas the beneficiary of certain income tax incentives that allowallowed for a reduction in the statutory Brazilian federal income tax rate levied on the operating profit of its products. These incentives produce a current tax rate of 15.25% for Terphane Ltda. (6.25% of income tax and 9.0% social contribution on income). The current incentives will expireexpired at the end of 2014, but we anticipate2014. The Company anticipates that weit will qualify for additional incentives that will extend beyond 2014.2014, but future benefits will not be recorded until the amount and extent of these incentives are more fully known. The benefit from the tax incentives was $51,000 (0 cents per share), $2.5 million (8 cents per share) and $4.3 million (13 cents per share) in 2014, 2013 and $0.7 million (2 cents per share) in 2012, and 2011, respectively.

Except as noted below, we believethe Company believes that it is more likely than not that future taxable income will exceed future tax deductible amounts thereby resulting in the realization of deferred tax assets. The Company has estimated gross state and foreign tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards of $3.0 million at December 31, 2014, which primarily expire at different points over the next 5 to 8 years. A valuation allowance of $1.3$2.8 million at December 31, 20122014 and 2011,$1.7 million at December 31, 2013, respectively, is providedrecorded against the tax benefit on state and foreign tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards for possible future tax benefits on domestic state and foreign operating losses generated by certain foreign and domestic subsidiaries that may not be recoverable in the carry-forwardcarryforward period. In addition, theThe valuation allowance for excess capital losses from investments and other related items was increaseddecreased from $9.3$16.4 million at December 31, 20112013 to $15.5$11.4 million at December 31, 20122014 due to changes in the relative amounts of capital gains and losses generated during the year. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted in the near term if estimates of the fair value of certain investments during the carryforward period change. Tredegar continues to evaluate opportunities to utilize capital loss carryforwards prior to their expiration at various dates in the future. As circumstances and e

vents warrant, allowances will be reversed when it is more likely than not that future taxable income will exceed deductible amounts, thereby resulting in the realization of deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance for asset impairments in foreign jurisdictions where we believethe Company believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized increased from $1.8was $0.4 million in 2011 toat December 31, 2014 and $1.9 million in 2012.

Tredegar, or one of our investment in our aluminum extrusions operations in Canada (sold in February 2008) on our 2008 consolidated tax return (included in discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of income in 2007). During an audit, the IRS challenged the ordinary nature of the loss, asserting that the loss should be re-characterized as capital in nature. Had the IRS prevailed in final, non-appealable determinations, it is possible that the matter would have resulted in additional tax payments of up to $12 million, plus any interest and penalties. Prior to issuing a Notice of Deficiency, however, the IRS revised their audit report to allow the ordinary loss treatment to stand. The audit findings have been confirmed by the IRS Joint Committee review, and we expect no further challenge on this issue.

Tredegar and its subsidiaries, filefiles income tax returns in the U.S., federal jurisdiction, various states and jurisdictions outside the U.S. Except for refund claims and amended returns, the IRS has provided written confirmation that they do not plan to make any additional changes to our U.S. consolidated tax returns for the years prior to 2010, although the federal statute of limitations was extended for the tax years 2006-2009 through December 31, 2013. With few exceptions, Tredegar and its subsidiaries areis no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2009. We believe2011. The Company anticipates that it is reasonably possible thata state income tax audit may settle within the next 12 months, which could result in the recognition of up to approximately $0.1$1.4 million of the balance of unrecognized state tax positions may be recognized within the next twelve months as a result of a lapse of the statute of limitations.

The estimated fair value of machinery and equipment that was evaluated for impairment was primarily based on our estimates of the proceeds that we would receive if and/or when assets are sold. Our estimates of the remaining fair value for the related machinery and equipment were based on both Level 2 and 3 inputs as defined under U.S. GAAP.

Aluminum Extrusions closed its manufacturing facility in Kentland, Indiana in August 2012. The plant, whose core market was residential construction, previously employed 146 people.

In November 2009, 3M filed a patent infringement complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota (“Minnesota District Court”) against the Company's film products business. The complaint alleged infringement upon elastic film technology patents held by 3M and sought unspecified compensatory and enhanced damages associated with sales of certain elastic film product lines, which include Film Products’ FabriFlex™ and FlexFeel™ family of products.
The Company and 3M settled all pending matters between the parties related to the patent infringement lawsuits filed by 3M. While the Company is confident in its position on the issues, because of the inherent risks associated with litigating patent lawsuits and the significant legal expenses expected to be incurred, the Company, without any admission of wrongdoing or fault of any kind, entered into a non-exclusive worldwide license agreement with 3M on June 26, 2014 for certain elastic film products, and on June 30, 2014, made a one-time, lump-sum payment of $10 million to 3M.
In 2011, we wereTredegar was notified by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“U.S. Customs”) that certain film products exported by Terphane to the U.S. since November 6, 2008 could be subject to duties associated with an antidumpinganti-dumping duty order on imported PET films from Brazil.  WeThe Company contested the applicability of these antidumpinganti-dumping duties to the films exported by Terphane, and we filed a request was filed with the U.S. Department of Commerce (“Commerce”) for clarification about whether the film products at issue are within the scope of the antidumpinganti-dumping duty order.  On January 8, 2013, Commerce issued a scope ruling confirming that the films are not subject to the order, provided that Terphane can establish to the satisfaction of U.S. Customs that the performance enhancing layer on those films is greater than 0.00001 inches thick.  The films at issue are manufactured to specifications that exceed that threshold.  On February 6, 2013, certain U.S. producers of PET film filed a summons with the U.S. Court of International Trade to appeal the scope ruling from Commerce.  If U.S. Customs ultimately were to require the collection of antidumpinganti-dumping duties because Commerce’s scope ruling was overturned on appeal, or otherwise, indemnifications for related liabilities are specifically provided for under the Purchase Agreement.

In December 2014, the U.S. International Trade Commission voted to revoke the anti-dumping duty order on imported PET films from Brazil. The revocation, as a result of the vote by the International Trade Commission, was effective as of November 2013. On February 20, 2015, certain U.S. producers of PET Film filed a summons with the U.S. Court of International Trade to appeal the determination by the U.S. International Trade Commission.

Net income (loss) from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2014 includes the reduction in income taxes from continuing operations in 2014 in comparison to the prior year as a result of a pair of distinct tax adjustments. Income taxes in the fourth quarter of 2014 included the recognition of a tax benefit for a portion of the Company’s capital loss carryforwards of $4.8 million. These capital loss carryforwards were previously offset by a valuation allowance associated with expected limitations on the utilization of these assumed capital losses. In addition, as previously discussed in Note 1, with the exception of Terphane Ltda., the Company accrues U.S. federal income taxes to the extent required under U.S. GAAP on unremitted earnings from foreign operations. As a result of changes in the underlying basis of certain foreign subsidiaries, income taxes from continuing operations in 2014 included an adjustment of $2.2 million in the fourth quarter, $1.7 million of which is a correction to prior years, to reverse previously accrued deferred tax liabilities accumulated over several years arising from changes in tax basis due to foreign currency translation adjustments and unremitted earnings. The corresponding prior period changes in the underlying basis of certain foreign subsidiaries primarily occurred before 2010, and the prior period components are not considered material to any period presented.
