Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s Statement
RockTenn Chairman and Chief Executive Officer James A. Rubright stated, “RockTenn’s co-workers again produced outstanding results, with adjusted earnings per share up 36% over last year’s first quarter, with strong adjusted segment earnings increases in consumer and corrugated packaging and merchandising displays. Our free cash flow generation exceeded our expectations for the quarter, and we see continued strong cash flow generation through the balance of the year.”
Segment Results
Paperboard and Containerboard Tons Shipped and Average Price
Total tons shipped in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 increased by 13,833 tons over the prior year quarter. The average selling price for all paperboard and containerboard grades increased $73 per ton from the prior year quarter.
Consumer Packaging Segment
Consumer Packaging segment net sales increased 3.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the prior year quarter, due to higher paperboard selling prices. Segment income increased $10.2 million to $52.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, excluding $20.7 million of alternative fuel mixture credit, net of expenses in the prior year quarter.
Corrugated Packaging Segment
Corrugated Packaging segment net sales increased $18.2 million to $198.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the prior year quarter, due to higher containerboard volumes and increased selling prices. Segment income increased $1.7 million to $36.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 and segment return on sales was 18.4%.
Merchandising Displays Segment
Merchandising Displays segment net sales increased $25.0 million over the prior year first quarter. Segment income increased to $11.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $4.2 million in the prior year quarter, and segment return on sales was 12.4%.
Specialty Paperboard Products Segment
Specialty Paperboard Products segment net sales increased $18.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to higher recycled fiber prices, increased paperboard selling prices and increased solid fiber interior packaging sales due to a fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 acquisition. Segment income was $4.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 and $4.5 million in the prior year quarter.
Cash Provided By Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was $104.3 million compared to $95.6 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher earnings net of alternative fuel mixture credit which was partially offset by a net increase in operating assets and liabilities compared to a net decrease in the prior year quarter.
Financing and Investing Activities
We reduced net debt by $65.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 and $206.9 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2010. Our Credit Agreement Debt/EBITDA ratio was 2.05 times at December 31, 2010, well below our maximum credit agreement covenant of 3.75 times.

Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliations
We have included financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. Any analysis of non-GAAP financial measures should be used only in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. Below, we define the non-GAAP financial measures, provide a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and discuss the reasons that we believe this information is useful to management and may be useful to investors. These measures may differ from similarly captioned measures of other companies in our industry. The following non-GAAP measures are not intended to be substitutes for GAAP financial measures and should not be used as such.
Net Debt
We have defined the non-GAAP measure “net debt” to include the aggregate debt obligations reflected in our consolidated balance sheet, less the hedge adjustments resulting from terminated fair value interest rate derivatives or swaps, the balance of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash (which includes restricted cash and marketable debt securities) and certain other investments that we consider to be readily available to satisfy these debt obligations.
Our management uses net debt, along with other factors, including net debt repayment per diluted share, to evaluate our financial condition. We believe that net debt is an appropriate supplemental measure of financial condition because it provides a more complete understanding of our financial condition before the impact of our decisions regarding the appropriate use of cash and liquid investments, and other variations of net debt repayment per diluted share provide measures to investors of how successful we are at achieving our debt reduction. Set forth below is a reconciliation of net debt to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, Current portion of debt and Long-term debt due after one year for the current quarter, prior quarter, one year ago quarter and the quarter following the Southern Container acquisition:

Credit Agreement EBITDA and Total Funded Debt
“Credit Agreement EBITDA” is calculated in accordance with the definition contained in our Senior Credit Facility. Credit Agreement EBITDA is generally defined as Consolidated Net Income plus: consolidated interest expense, income taxes of the consolidated companies determined in accordance with GAAP, depreciation and amortization expense of the consolidated companies determined in accordance with GAAP, certain non-cash and cash charges incurred, and charges taken resulting from the impact of changes to accounting rules related to the expensing of stock options.
“Total Funded Debt” is calculated in accordance with the definition contained in our Senior Credit Facility. Total Funded Debt is generally defined as aggregate debt obligations reflected in our balance sheet, less the hedge adjustments resulting from terminated and existing fair value interest rate derivatives or swaps, less certain deferred cash, plus additional outstanding letters of credit not already reflected in debt and certain guarantees.
Our management uses Credit Agreement EBITDA and Total Funded Debt to evaluate compliance with our debt covenants and borrowing capacity available under our Senior Credit Facility. Management believes that investors also use these measures to evaluate our compliance with our debt covenants and available borrowing capacity. Borrowing capacity is dependent upon, in addition to other measures, the “Credit Agreement Debt/EBITDA ratio” or the “Leverage Ratio,” which is defined as Total Funded Debt divided by Credit Agreement EBITDA. As of the December 31, 2010 calculation, our Leverage Ratio was 2.05 times, which includes a reduction of .03 times for the alternative fuel mixture credit. Our maximum permitted Leverage Ratio under the Senior Credit Facility at December 31, 2010 was 3.75 times.
Set forth below is a reconciliation of Credit Agreement EBITDA for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2010, to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, Consolidated Net Income:

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share
We also use the non-GAAP measures “adjusted net income” and “adjusted earnings per diluted share”. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide our board of directors, investors, potential investors, securities analysts and others with useful information to evaluate the performance of the Company because it excludes restructuring and other costs, net, and other specific items that management believes are not indicative of the ongoing operating results of the business. The Company and our board of directors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance relative to other periods. We believe that the most directly comparable GAAP measures to adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share are Net income attributable to Rock-Tenn Company shareholders and Earnings per Diluted Share, respectively. Set forth below is a reconciliation of adjusted net income to Net income attributable to Rock-Tenn Company shareholders:
