Metal Food Container Performance

Net sales of the metal food container business were $1.487 billion in 2002, an increase of $85.9 million, or 6.1 percent, over the same period in 2001 primarily as a result of new business and a stronger fruit and vegetable pack. Unit volume increased 7.6 percent as compared to 2001.

Income from operations of the metal food container business in 2002 increased 11.4 percent to $120.6 million as compared to $108.3 million in 2001, and operating margin increased to 8.1 percent from 7.7 percent. The increases in income from operations and operating margin were principally due to higher sales volume, rationalization credits in 2002 as compared to rationalization charges in 2001 and the elimination of goodwill amortization, partially offset by the effect of price adjustments relating to certain contract negotiations, higher depreciation expense, higher manufacturing costs to initially absorb new business, start-up Start-up

Plastic Container Performance

Net sales of the plastic container business increased $7.7 million in 2002, or 1.6 percent, to $501.3 million as compared to $493.6 million in 2001.

Income from operations of the plastic container business for 2002 increased $6.9 million, or 15.0 percent, to $52.9 million as compared to $46.0 million in 2001, and operating margin increased to 10.6 percent from 9.3 percent. The increases in income from operations and operating margin were primarily a result of higher volumes, a rationalization charge recorded in 2001, the elimination of goodwill amortization and improved operational efficiencies, partially offset by higher depreciation expense, higher selling and commercial development expenses and higher employee health and welfare costs.

Fourth Quarter

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2002 was $6.2 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, as compared to net income for the fourth quarter of 2001 of $4.8 million, or $0.26 per diluted share.

Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2002 increased $5.6 million, or 1.2 percent, to $466.9 million as compared to $461.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2001. This increase was the result of higher unit volume in both the metal food container and plastic container businesses, partially offset by a less favorable sales mix of the metal food container business.

In the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company recorded a rationalization credit of $0.7 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, related to certain previously written down assets of the metal food container business that were placed back in service. In the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company recorded a rationalization charge of $5.8 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, primarily related to closing two metal food container facilities.

Income from operations for the fourth quarter of 2002 was $30.5 million, an increase of $5.0 million, or 19.6 percent, over the same period in 2001. This increase was primarily a result of higher volumes, rationalization credits in 2002 as compared to rationalization charges in 2001, lower selling, general and administrative expenses in the metal food container business largely due to the settlement of certain litigation An action brought in court to enforce a particular right.

Interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2002 was $18.9 million, an increase of $1.5 million as compared to the fourth quarter of 2001. This increase resulted primarily from a higher average interest rate due to the add-on issuance of $200 million of 9% Debentures and higher interest rate spreads over LIBOR as a result of the refinancing of the Company's previous U.S. senior secured credit facility in 2002. The effect of the higher average interest rate was partially offset by approximately $55 million in lower average borrowings as compared to the fourth quarter of 2001 and lower LIBOR rates.

The Company's net income for the fourth quarter of 2002 included a benefit of approximately $1.2 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, from the elimination of goodwill amortization as a result of the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 142. The metal food container and plastic container businesses benefited from the elimination of $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of goodwill amortization. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2001 included a reduction to the gain on assets contributed to the White Cap joint venture of $0.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share.

Equity Affiliates

The Company recorded equity in losses of White Cap for the full year of 2002 of $2.6 million, net of tax, or $0.14 per diluted share, as compared to equity in losses of $0.3 million, net of tax, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the same period in 2001. The Company's equity in losses of White Cap for the full year of 2002 included the Company's share of both a rationalization charge equal to $2.0 million, net of tax, or $0.11 per diluted share, related to closing a metal closures manufacturing facility and a gain on the sale of assets of $0.7 million, net of tax, or $0.04 per diluted share, recorded by the joint venture. The Company recorded equity in losses of White Cap for the fourth quarter of 2002 of $0.8 million, net of tax, or $0.05 per diluted share, as compared to equity in losses of White Cap, of $0.1 million, net of tax, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2001.

Acquisitions

On January 2, 2003, the Company announced that it had agreed to acquire the remaining 65 percent interest in the White Cap joint venture from Amcor White Cap Inc. The purchase price for the equity and outstanding debt obligations of the joint venture is expected to total approximately $125 million. The transaction is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2003.

The White Cap joint venture was originally formed in July 2001, when the Company contributed certain metal closure assets and liabilities in return for $32.4 million in cash and a 35 percent interest in the joint venture. Net sales for the facilities contributed by the Company totaled approximately $91 million in 2000. Schmalbach-Lubeca AG (the original joint venture partner whose interest was purchased by Amcor Ltd.) contributed the remaining metal and plastic closure operations. As part of the integration of the contributed businesses, the joint venture instituted a program to rationalize the metal closure facilities. This program is well under way and is expected to result in significant cost savings starting in 2003.

In January 2003, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Thatcher Thatch·er   , Margaret Hilda. Baroness. Born 1925.

While a relatively small tube manufacturer, Thatcher Tubes has built a reputation as a high quality supplier of decorated plastic tubes, particularly to the personal care market. With Silgan Plastics' leadership position in plastic containers for the personal care market, this acquisition provides opportunities for growth through an expanded product offering. Given its size, the transaction is expected to have little effect on the Company's net income in 2003. The purchase price for the assets, including additional production capacity recently installed and currently being installed, was $32 million.

We anticipate completing this financing during the first quarter of 2003.

Outlook for 2003

The Company estimates that its net income per diluted share for 2003 will be in the range of $2.85 to $3.15. The Company anticipates higher net sales in the metal food container business in 2003 as compared to 2002, primarily as a result of the expected acquisition of the remaining 65 percent interest in the White Cap joint venture during the first quarter of 2003.

Notes:
This can either increase the products price or value.
 products, benefits of productivity enhancing investments and benefits from more efficiently supplying new business gained in 2002 are offset by higher employee health and welfare costs, insurance costs and depreciation expense. The Company currently anticipates sales growth in the plastic container business in 2003 as compared to 2002, primarily driven by the addition of the tube business. Operating margin for the plastic container business is expected to decrease as compared to 2002 primarily as a result of heightened competitive activity.

The Company currently anticipates a decline in earnings in the first half of 2003 as compared with 2002 as a result of a rationalization credit of $2.3 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, recorded in the first quarter of 2002, continued rationalization costs in the closures business and start-up costs related to the manufacture of convenience ends in 2003.

Net income for the first quarter of 2002 included strong operating performance from both the metal food container and plastic container businesses.
