The accuracy of such statements is subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause Chesapeake's actual results to differ materially

from those expressed in the forward-looking statements including, but not limited to: the company’s inability to realize the full extent of the expected savings or

benefits from restructuring or cost savings initiatives and to complete such activities in accordance with their planned timetables and within the cost ranges; the

effects of competitive products and pricing; changes in production costs, particularly for raw materials such as folding carton and plastics materials, and the ability

of the company to pass through increases in raw material costs to its customers; fluctuations in demand; possible recessionary trends in U.S. and global economies;

changes in government policies and regulations; changes in interest rates and credit availability; changes in actuarial assumptions related to the company’s pension

and postretirement benefit plans; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; the ability of the company to remain in compliance with its debt covenants and to
refinance the company’s senior credit facility; changes in liabilities and cash funding obligations associated with the company’s defined benefit pension plans; and

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The company presents the following non-GAAP measures of results: operating income; income (loss) from continuing operations; earnings per share from continuing

operations; and cash flows from operating activities. Each is adjusted to exclude special items which include goodwill impairment charges, gains (losses) on the

extinguishment of debt, gains (losses) on divestitures, restructuring expenses, asset impairments and other exit costs, and cash spending for restructuring activities.

The company’s management believes these non-GAAP measures provide investors, potential investors, securities analysts and others with useful information to

evaluate the performance of the business, because they exclude gains and losses that management believes are not indicative of the ongoing operating results of the

business. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are used by management to evaluate the operating performance of the company. The presentation of this

additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, income from continuing operations, earnings per share from

continuing operations or cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP.
