Financial Statements The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of KapStone Paper and Packaging Corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” or “KapStone”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. We report our operating results in two reportable segments: Paper and Packaging and Distribution.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements | 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard’s Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The guidance in this update affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (for example, insurance contracts or lease contracts). The guidance in this update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. Additionally, this update supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts”. The standard will be effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein. Additionally the FASB approved the option to early adopt up to the original effective date (fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016). The Company did not elect to early adopt this standard. We are nearing completion of the diagnostic phase of evaluating the overall impact of ASU 2014-09. The Company has determined that it will adopt this standard utilizing the modified retrospective method, which will result in the recognition of the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard (if any) as an adjustment to opening retained earnings for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. We have established an implementation team consisting of senior leadership from finance, legal, sales and operations that reports its progress to management and to the audit committee of our board of directors on a periodic basis. This team is working to understand the impact of the standard on our revenue contracts and is reviewing existing accounting practices to identify necessary changes to policies and procedures that will result from the application of the new standard. We have identified our significant revenue streams within each reportable segment and are working to review all existing contracts with customers and to identify any necessary changes to our systems and control environment to support additional disclosures under the new standard. We currently anticipate completing our assessment by September 30, 2017. We will provide additional disclosure as the implementation plan progresses during 2017, including on-going evaluation of the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and related disclosures. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”, which is intended to simplify the subsequent measurement of inventories by replacing the current lower of cost or market test with a lower of cost and net realizable value test. The guidance applies only to inventories for which cost is determined by methods other than last-in first-out and the retail inventory method. Application of the standard, which should be applied prospectively, is required for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. ASU 2015-11 was adopted during the interim period ended March 31, 2017, and it had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases”. This guidance revises existing practice related to accounting for leases under ASC Topic 840 Leases for both lessees and lessors. The new guidance in ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease). The lease liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments and the right-of-use asset will be based on the lease liability, subject to adjustment such as for initial direct costs. For income statement purposes, the new standard retains a dual model similar to ASC 840, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. For lessees, operating leases will result in straight-line expense (similar to current accounting by lessees for operating leases under ASC 840), while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to current accounting by lessees for capital leases under ASC 840). While the new standard maintains similar accounting for lessors as under ASC 840, the new standard reflects updates to, among other things, align with certain changes to the lessee model. The guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company does have a significant number of leases for both property and equipment. As such, the Company expects that there will be a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and disclosures upon the adoption of ASU 2016-02. The Company will provide additional disclosure as the implementation progresses. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, which will require all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. It also will allow an employer to repurchase more of an employee’s shares than it can today for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2016-09 was adopted prospectively during the interim period ended March 31, 2017. The adoption of this ASU decreased the Company’s provision for incomes taxes by $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and increased the Company’s provision for income taxes by $0.4 million for the six months June 30, 2017. The Company has elected to continue recognizing estimated forfeitures over the vesting term of the awards. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”, which clarifies the treatment of several cash flow categories. In addition, ASU 2016-15 clarifies that when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows and cannot be separated, classification will depend on the predominant source or use. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-15 will have on our cash flows and related disclosures. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”, which amends the guidance in ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other”. The ASU eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. The ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed in periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. The ASU will be applied prospectively. The Company currently does not expect that the adoption of these provisions will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but will simplify the measurement of any impairment loss should goodwill be impaired in the future. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Clarifying the Definition of a Business”, which amends the guidance in ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations”. The ASU changes the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. Under the new guidance, an entity first determines whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. If this threshold is met, the set is not a business. If it is not met, the entity then evaluates whether the set meets the requirements that a business include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The ASU defines an output as “the result of inputs and processes applied to those inputs that provide goods or services to customers, investment income (such as dividends or interest), or other revenues.” The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods, and early adoption is permitted. The ASU will be applied prospectively to any transactions occurring within the period of adoption. The Company currently does not expect that the adoption of these provisions will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. In March, 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, “Compensation — Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.” This ASU applies to all employers that offer to their employees defined benefit pension plans, other postretirement benefit plans, or other types of benefits accounted for under Topic 715, Compensation — Retirement Benefits. The ASU requires that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. If a separate line item or items are used to present the other components of net benefit cost, that line item or items must be appropriately described. If a separate line item or items are not used, the line item or items used in the income statement to present the other components of net benefit cost must be disclosed. The ASU also allows only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization when applicable (e.g., as a cost of internally manufactured inventory or a self-constructed asset). This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2017-07 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |

API Acquisition | |
API Acquisition | 3. API Acquisition On February 1, 2017, the Company acquired the assets of Associated Packaging, Inc. and Fast Pak, LLC (together, “API”) with operations located in Greer, South Carolina for $33.5 million. The acquisition was funded from borrowings on the Company’s $500 million revolving credit facility (“Revolver”). API provides corrugated packaging and digital production needs serving a diverse customer base, including an emphasis on fulfillment and kitting for the automotive and consumer products industries. The Company has allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, of which $14.0 million has been allocated to intangible assets, $2.8 million to plant, property and equipment, $1.7 million to net working capital and $15.0 million to goodwill (which is deductible for tax purposes). The purchase price allocation is final. Transaction fees and expenses for the API acquisition related to due diligence, advisory and legal services have been expensed as incurred. These expenses were $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, and were recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. This acquisition further strengthens the Company’s goal of increasing mill integration. Operating results of the acquisition since February 1, 2017 are included in the Company’s Paper and Packaging segment. The Company’s consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 includes $10.8 million of net sales and $0.8 million of operating income from this acquired business. In conjunction with the API acquisition, the Company signed a 25-year lease agreement with a total commitment of approximately $14.7 million. The Company estimated the fair value of the lease to be $4.7 million based on an assessment of the market values of comparable properties. The lease was capitalized as a long-term building asset and long-term liability as the present value of the payments is more than 90% of the fair value of the property. Amortization of the asset under this capital lease obligation is included in depreciation expense. |

The aggregate amount of such increases in potential commitments (and potential borrowings) is limited to $600 million, unless the Company would maintain a pro forma total leverage ratio of 2.5 to 1.0 or less after giving effect to the increase in potential commitments (and potential borrowings). On March 27, 2017, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement which modified certain defined terms used in the calculation of the financial covenants in a manner favorable to the Company. Receivables Credit Facility Effective as of June 1, 2017, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Receivables Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”) amending its Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of September 26, 2014 (as amended from time to time, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”), which is part of an accounts receivable securitization program (the “Securitization Program”) of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. The Amendment included the following changes to the Receivable Purchase Agreement: · the aggregate commitment of the Purchasers under the Receivables Purchase Agreement was increased from $275.0 million to $325.0 million · the “Facility Termination Date” (as defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement) was extended from June 6, 2017 to June 1, 2018 and · certain definitions used to determine the maximum amount that may be outstanding under the Securitization Program were added or modified, as applicable, in a manner favorable to the Company. On February 21, 2017, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Receivables Sale Agreement amending its Receivables Sale Agreement dated as of September 26, 2014, which is part of the Securitization Program. All accounts receivable purchased from API and all accounts receivable generated from facilities acquired from API that are not paid to an eligible bank account are designated as “Excluded Receivables”. Under our Securitization Program, the Company and its subsidiaries that participate in the Securitization Program (the “Originators”) sell, on an ongoing basis without recourse, certain trade receivables to KapStone Receivables, LLC (“KAR”), which is considered a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote variable interest entity (“VIE”). The Company has the authority to direct the activities of the VIE and, as a result, we have concluded that we maintain control of the VIE, are the primary beneficiary (as defined by accounting guidance) and, therefore, consolidate the account balances of KAR. As of June 30, 2017, $440.1 million of our trade accounts receivables were sold to KAR. KAR in turn assigns a collateral interest in these receivables to a financial institution under a one-year $325 million facility (the “Receivables Credit Facility”) for proceeds of $298.0 million. The assets of KAR are not available to us until all obligations of KAR are satisfied in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings. Debt Covenants Our Credit Agreement governing our Credit Facility contains, among other provisions, covenants with which we must comply. The covenants limit our ability to, among other things, incur indebtedness, create additional liens on our assets, make investments, engage in mergers and acquisitions and sell any assets outside the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants in the Credit Agreement. Fair Value of Debt As of June 30, 2017, the fair value of the Company’s debt approximates the carrying value of $1.5 billion as the variable interest rates re-price frequently at current market rates. Our weighted-average cost of borrowings was 2.8 percent and 2.1 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. |

Long-term Financing Obligation | |
Long-term Financing Obligation | 7. Long-term Financing Obligation In 2015, the Company signed non-cancellable contracts with a third party to construct facilities to produce wood chips for the use at the Company’s North Charleston, South Carolina and Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina paper mills for twenty years, with an annual purchase obligation of approximately $12.5 million. The Company has evaluated these agreements and concluded that they represent in-substance leases under ASC 840, Leases. In accordance with the special provisions discussed in ASC 840-40-55-15, language within the contracts result in the Company assuming a certain level of construction risk, and as such, we are considered the accounting owner of the assets during the construction period, even though these facilities are being constructed and financed entirely by the third party. Accordingly, as the third-party incurs the construction project costs, the assets and corresponding financial obligation are recorded in plant, property and equipment, net and other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Upon completion of each project, the Company will evaluate if the in-substance leases meet certain ‘sale-leaseback’ criteria under ASC 840. If the contract does not meet such requirements, which is the expectation for each of these contracts, the amount recognized during the construction phase will be recorded as a financing liability. Payments under the contract will then be allocated between a reduction of the lease obligation and interest expense, utilizing an imputed interest rate in accordance with ASC 840. In June 2017, the Roanoke Rapids paper mill completed Phase I of this project and did not meet the ‘sale-leaseback’ criteria. As such, $43.6 million is now reflected as a long-term financing liability. |

Income Taxes | 8. Income Taxes The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was 33.9 percent and 35.7 percent, respectively, compared to 36.5 percent and 35.6 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. The lower effective income tax rate in the three months ended June 30, 2017 is due to the absence of an unfavorable state examination adjustment in 2016. Cash taxes paid in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were $6.5 million and $27.5 million, respectively, compared to $10.6 million and a net refund of $0.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s open federal tax years are 2013, 2014 and 2015. The Company has open tax years for state and foreign income tax filings generally starting in 2012. |

Pension Plan and Post-Retirement Benefits Defined Benefit Plan Net pension cost (benefit) recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 for the Company’s defined benefit plan (the “Pension Plan”) is as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Service cost for benefits earned during the quarter $ $ $ $ Interest cost on projected benefit obligations Expected return on plan assets ) ) ) ) Amortization of net loss Amortization of prior service cost Net pension cost (benefit) $ ) $ $ ) $ The Company currently does not anticipate making any Pension Plan contributions in 2017. This estimate is based on current tax laws, plan asset performance, and liability assumptions, which are subject to change. The Company provides postretirement health care insurance benefits through an indemnity plan for certain salary and non-salary employees of its subsidiary Longview Fibre Paper and Packaging, Inc. (“Longview”) and their dependents. The Company anticipates making contributions to its postretirement plans in 2017 as claims are submitted. In March 2017, the union employees at the North Charleston paper mill ratified new collective bargaining agreements which changed the defined pension benefit plan to a defined contribution plan for certain employees. The overall impact on the Company’s Pension Plan is deemed immaterial. Defined Contribution Plan The Company offers 401(k) Defined Contribution Plans (“Contribution Plans”) to eligible employees. The Company’s monthly contributions are based on the matching of certain employee contributions or based on a union negotiated formula. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized expense of $6.0 million and $2.4 million, respectively, for matching contributions. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized expense of $12.2 million and $6.0 million, respectively, for matching contributions. In 2017, the Company restored matching contributions to its Contribution Plans for certain employees that were previously suspended during 2016. As a result, contributions were $3.6 million higher in the quarter ended June 30, 2017, and $6.2 million higher for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016. Multiemployer Pension Plan In conjunction with the Company’s Longview and U.S. Corrugated acquisitions, we assumed participation in the GCIU-Employer Retirement Fund for approximately 300 hourly employees at four corrugated products manufacturing plants. On October 31, 2016, the Company provided formal notification to the plan trustee of its withdrawal from the plan and cessation of plan contributions effective December 31, 2016. Accordingly, the Company recorded an estimated withdrawal liability of approximately $6.4 million, based on annual payments of approximately $0.4 million over 20 years, discounted at a credit adjusted risk-free rate return of approximately 3.6 percent. This liability is based on an analysis of the facts available to management; however, the withdrawal liability will ultimately be determined by the plan trustee. |

Stock-Based Compensation | |
Stock-Based Compensation | 11. Stock-Based Compensation In April 2017, the compensation committee of the board of directors granted 126,976 restricted stock units to certain Company employees for retention purposes. The total value of the awards was $2.9 million of which $2.8 million was expensed in the quarter ended June 30, 2017, with the balance to be expensed in the second half of 2017. The restricted stock units awarded to certain executive officers vest one year from the date of the grant, while the non-executive officers’ awards vest 90 days from the date of the grant. The Company accounts for stock-based awards in accordance with ASC 718, “ Compensation — Stock Compensation ,” which requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized as compensation cost over the vesting period based on the fair value of the instrument on the date of grant. Total stock-based compensation expense related to the stock option and restricted stock unit grants for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 is as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Stock option compensation expense $ $ $ $ Restricted stock unit compensation expense Total stock-based compensation expense $ $ $ $ Total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to the stock options and restricted stock units as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is as follows: June 30, December 31, 2017 2016 Unrecognized stock option compensation expense $ $ Unrecognized restricted stock unit compensation expense Total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense $ $ As of June 30, 2017, total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options and restricted stock units is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years and 2.2 years, respectively. Stock Options The following table summarizes stock options amounts and activity: Weighted Weighted Intrinsic Average Average Value Exercise Remaining (dollars in Options Price Life (Years) thousands) Outstanding at January 1, 2017 $ Granted Exercised ) Lapsed (forfeited or cancelled) ) Outstanding at June 30, 2017 $ Exercisable at June 30, 2017 $ $ For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options totaled $0.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options totaled $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Restricted Stock Restricted stock units for executive officers and certain employees are restricted as to transferability until they generally vest three years from the grant date or upon a grantee of such restricted stock units attaining the age 65. Restricted stock units for directors are restricted as to transferability until they generally vest one year from the grant date or upon a grantee of such restricted stock units attaining the age of 65. These restricted stock units are subject to forfeiture should applicable employees terminate their employment with the Company for certain reasons prior to vesting in their awards, or the occurrence of certain other events. The value of these restricted stock units is based on the average market price of our common stock on the date of grant and compensation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the awards’ vesting periods.

Commitments and Contingencies | |
Commitments and Contingencies | 12. Commitments and Contingencies Legal Claims The Company and its subsidiaries are from time to time subject to various administrative and legal investigations, claims and proceedings incidental to our business, including environmental and occupational, health and safety matters, labor and employment matters, personal injury and property damage claims, contractual, commercial and other disputes and taxes. We establish reserves for investigations, claims and proceedings when it is probable that liabilities exist and we can reasonably estimate the amount of such liabilities (including any losses, costs and expenses). We also maintain insurance that may limit our financial exposure for defense costs, as well as liability, if any, for claims covered by the insurance (subject also to deductibles and self-insurance amounts). Any investigation, claim or proceeding has an element of uncertainty, and we cannot predict or assure the outcome of any investigation, claim or proceeding involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, particularly those described below that cannot be assessed due to their preliminary nature. It is possible that any of the investigations, claims and proceedings against the Company or its subsidiaries, including those described below, could be decided unfavorably against the Company or any of its subsidiaries involved in such matters and could also result in losses, costs or expenses in excess of any reserve we have established. Accordingly, it is possible that an adverse outcome from any investigation, claim or proceeding (including associated penalties, costs and expenses) could exceed any reserve we may have accrued in an amount that could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. The Company’s subsidiary, Longview is a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) with respect to the Lower Duwamish Waterway Superfund Site in the State of Washington (the “Site”). The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) asserts that the Site is contaminated as a result of discharges from various businesses and government entities located along the Lower Duwamish Waterway, including a corrugated converting plant owned and operated by Longview. In November 2014, the EPA issued a Record of Decision (“ROD”) for the Site. The ROD includes a selected remedy for the Site. In the ROD, EPA states that the total estimated net present value costs (discounted at 2.3%) for the selected remedy are $342 million, although many uncertainties remain that could result in increased remedial costs. This estimate does not include actual costs already incurred to date for remedial investigation and feasibility studies or potential natural resource damage claims. Neither the Company nor Longview has received a specific monetary demand regarding its potential liability for the Site. In addition, Longview is a participant in a non-judicial allocation process with respect to the Site. Pursuant to the non-judicial allocation process, Longview and other participating parties will seek to allocate certain costs, including but not limited to the costs necessary to perform the work under the ROD. The non-judicial allocation process is not scheduled to be completed until 2019. Based upon the information available to the Company at this time, the Company cannot reasonably estimate its potential liability for this Site. In October 2016, the Company received a Notice of Alleged Violation from the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (“DHEC”) in which DHEC made several allegations related to air regulatory requirements. Several of the allegations related to recordkeeping/reporting, monitoring or paperwork requirements which did not implicate actual emissions (and which have been corrected); however, three of the allegations related to periodic compliance monitoring of particulates from operating equipment sources that are considered to be serious under DHEC guidelines. No emissions from the monitoring resulted in any impact to the environment or human health, and no annual limits were exceeded because this allegation involved spare equipment that is operated only a limited number of days each year. Discussions with DHEC regarding the alleged violations are ongoing, and the resolution of the matters raised in this notice is uncertain at this time. However, no capital expenditure is required and all repairs and corrective actions have been performed resulting in full compliance as of June 30, 2017; thus the Company currently does not expect that the result of those discussions will be material to the our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. In January 2017, the Company received a letter from the state of Washington Department of Ecology contending that the Company is, along with several other companies, responsible for investigation and cleanup of an allegedly contaminated site where the named companies, including Longview, may store or have stored petroleum products. The letter concerns the possible release of petroleum products into the environment. In 1998, Longview (before it was acquired by the Company) and certain other companies who owned or operated underground storage tanks and pipes entered into an agreement for investigating and remediating the area independently of (but in consultation with) the Washington Department of Ecology. Upon expiration of the 1998 agreement, groundwater monitoring continued. The Company has responded to the notice. Based upon the information available to the Company at this time, the Company cannot reasonably estimate its potential liability, if any. There have been no material changes in any of our legal proceedings for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Contingent Consideration The Company’s contingent consideration obligation relates to the acquisition of Victory Packaging, L.P. (“Victory”) on June 1, 2015 and is considered a Level 3 liability. The fair value of the obligation as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $18.5 million and $14.9 million, respectively. The fair value of the contingent consideration is estimated based on the probability of reaching the performance measures through November 30, 2017. The probability is estimated by reviewing financial forecasts and assessing the likelihood of reaching the required performance measures based on factors specific to the Victory acquisition. The discount rate is determined by applying a risk premium to a risk-free interest rate. The total potential payout under this obligation is $25.0 million with the actual payout to be incurred in the first quarter of 2018. |
