TREDEGAR CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
1.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Tredegar Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Tredegar,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) contain all adjustments necessary to state fairly, in all material respects, Tredegar’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2014, the consolidated results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and the consolidated changes in shareholders’ equity for the six months ended June 30, 2014. All such adjustments, unless otherwise detailed in the notes to the consolidated interim financial statements, are deemed to be of a normal, recurring nature. The financial position data as of December 31, 2013 that is included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements provided in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (“2013 Form 10-K”) but does not include all disclosures required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2013 Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
 
2.
On October 1, 2012, The William L. Bonnell Company, Inc. acquired 100% ownership of AACOA, Inc. (“AACOA”). AACOA operates production facilities in Elkhart, Indiana and Niles, Michigan. Its primary markets include consumer durables, machinery and equipment and transportation. The acquisition added fabrication capabilities to Aluminum Extrusions’ current array of products and services, and provided AACOA with large press capabilities and enhanced geographic sales coverage in a variety of end-use markets.
In the second quarter of 2013, all post-closing adjustments to the purchase price were resolved. 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 the resolution of contractual obligations related to income taxes, the total purchase price (net of cash acquired) was $54.1 million, which includes $0.6 million that was received from the seller during the third quarter of 2013. The purchase price was funded using financing secured from the Company’s existing $350 million revolving credit facility. Based upon management’s valuation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets (net of cash) acquired and liabilities assumed, the estimated purchase price allocation was as follows:

Accruals of $8.3 million ($8.3 million after taxes) and $13.5 million ($13.5 million after taxes) were made for indemnifications under the purchase agreement related to environmental matters in the second quarter and the first six months of 2013, respectively (none in 2014).

Unrealized losses (included in “Other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statements of income and “Corporate expenses, net” in the statement of net sales and operating profit by segment) on the Company’s investment in Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations Fund, L.P. (“Harbinger Fund”) of $0.3 million ($0.2 million after taxes) and $0.6 million ($0.4 million after taxes) were recorded in the second quarter and first six months of 2014, respectively, as a result of a reduction in the value of the investment that is not expected to be temporary. 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 the sale of a portion of its investment property in Alleghany and Bath Counties, Virginia. See Note 8 for additional information on investments.

In August 2007 and December 2008, the Company made an aggregate investment of $7.5 million in kaléo, a privately held specialty pharmaceutical company. The mission of kaléo is to set a new standard in life-saving personal medical products designed to enable superior treatment outcomes, improved cost effectiveness and intuitive patient administration. Tredegar’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 the initial investment, the Company elected the fair value option over the equity method of accounting since its investment objectives were similar to those of venture capitalists, which typically do not have controlling financial interests.
At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the estimated fair value of the investment in kaléo (also the carrying value, which is included in “Other assets and deferred charges” in the consolidated balance sheet) was $36.0 million and $37.1 million, respectively. The fair value estimates are based upon significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs since there is no secondary market for our ownership interest. Accordingly, until the next round of financing or other significant financial transaction, value estimates will primarily be based on assumptions relating to meeting product development and commercialization milestones, corresponding cash flow projections (projections of 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 the Company’s investment in kaléo will be made in the period during which changes can be quantified.
The Company recognized an unrealized loss on its investment in kaléo (included in “Other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statements of income) of $1.1 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2014. The unrealized loss in the second quarter of 2014 can be primarily attributed to adjustments in the timing of cash flows associated with achieving product development and commercialization milestones. The Company recognized an unrealized gain on its investment in kaléo (included in “Other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statements of income) of $2.1 million and $3.2 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively. The unrealized gain in 2013 was primarily related to 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.
The fair market valuation of the Company’s interest in kaléo 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 Tredegar’s interest in kaléo was 45% at June 30, 2014 and 55% at December 31, 2013. 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 June 30, 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 the interest in kaléo by approximately $7 million, and a 500 basis point increase in the weighted average cost of capital assumption would have decreased the fair value of the interest by approximately $5 million.
Had the Company not elected to account for its investment under the fair value method, it would have been required to use the equity method of accounting. The condensed balance sheets for kaléo at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and condensed statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, as reported to the Company by kaléo, are provided below:

The Company’s investment in the Harbinger Fund had a carrying value (included in “Other assets and deferred charges”) of $2.0 million at June 30, 2014, compared with $2.8 million at December 31, 2013. The carrying value at June 30, 2014 reflected Tredegar’s cost basis in its investment in the Harbinger Fund, net of total withdrawal proceeds received and unrealized losses. The Company recorded unrealized losses of $0.3 million and $0.6 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2014, respectively, on its investment in the Harbinger Fund (included in “Other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statements of income) as a result of a reduction in the value of the investment that is not expected to be temporary. Withdrawal proceeds were $0.2 million in the first six months of 2014 and 2013, respectively. The timing and amount of future installments of withdrawal proceeds, which commenced in August 2010, were not known as of June 30, 2014. Gains on the Company’s investment in the Harbinger Fund will be recognized when the amounts expected to be collected from any withdrawal from the investment are known, which will likely be when cash in excess of the remaining carrying value is received. Losses will be recognized when management believes it is probable that future withdrawal proceeds will not exceed the remaining carrying value.
Tredegar has investment property in Alleghany and Bath Counties, 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 the sale of a portion of this investment property in the second quarter of 2014. An unrealized loss associated with the Company’s investment property in Alleghany and Bath Counties, Virginia (included in “Other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statements of income) of $1.0 million ($0.6 million after taxes) was recorded in the second quarter of 2013 as a result of a reduction in the estimated fair value of our investment that is not expected to be temporary. The carrying value in this investment property (included in “Other assets and deferred charges” on the consolidated balance sheets) was $2.6 million at June 30, 2014 and $5.9 million at December 31, 2013.

The Company 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 due to specified transactions. When possible, derivative financial instruments utilized by Tredegar are designated as and qualify as cash flow hedges and are recognized in the balance sheet at fair value. A change in the fair value of derivatives that are highly effective and that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). 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. 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 was not material to the second quarters of 2014 and 2013.
The fair value of derivative instruments recorded on the consolidated balance sheets are based upon Level 2 inputs within the corresponding commodity or foreign currency markets. If individual derivative instruments with the same counterparty can be settled on a net basis, the Company records the corresponding derivative fair values as a net asset or net liability.
In the normal course of business, the Company 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 the margin exposure created from the fixing of future sales prices relative to volatile raw material (aluminum) costs, the Company 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 $6.7 million (6.7 million pounds of aluminum) at June 30, 2014 and $8.0 million (8.4 million pounds of aluminum) at December 31, 2013.
The table below summarizes the location and gross amounts of aluminum futures contract fair values in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

In the event that the counterparty to an aluminum fixed-price forward sales contract chooses to not take delivery of its aluminum extrusions, the customer is contractually obligated to compensate us 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 (none at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013) are associated with the unwinding of aluminum futures contracts that relate to such cancellations.
Film Products utilizes future fixed Euro-denominated contractual payments for equipment being purchased as part of our multi-year capacity expansion project at our film products manufacturing facility in Cabo de Santo Agostinho, Brazil. The Company is using fixed-rate Euro forward contracts with various settlement dates through August 2014 to hedge exchange rate exposure on these obligations. The Company had fixed-rate forward contracts with outstanding notional amounts of €2.0 million and €2.1 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

These derivative contracts involve elements of market risk that are not reflected on the consolidated balance sheet, including the risk of dealing with counterparties and their ability to meet the terms of the contracts. The counterparties to any forward purchase commitments are major aluminum brokers and suppliers, and the counterparties to any aluminum futures contracts are major financial institutions. Fixed-price forward sales contracts are only made available to the best and most credit-worthy customers. The counterparties to our foreign currency futures and zero-cost collar contracts are major financial institutions.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company expects $0.2 million of unrealized after-tax gains on derivative instruments reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months. For the three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, net gains or losses realized on previously unrealized net gains or losses from hedges that had been discontinued were not significant.

The Company sponsors noncontributory defined benefit (pension) plans covering most 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 plan participants was frozen as of December 31, 2007. Beginning in the first quarter of 2014, with the exception of plan participants at two of Tredegar’s U.S. manufacturing facilities, the plan will no longer accrue benefits associated with crediting employees for service, thereby freezing future benefits under the plan.

Pension and other post-retirement liabilities for continuing operations (included in “Other noncurrent liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets) are $48.6 million and $50.3 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company’s required contributions are expected to be approximately $0.2 million in 2014. The Company intends to make an additional discretionary contribution of $5.0 million to its underfunded pension plan in the third quarter of 2014. Tredegar funds its other post-retirement benefits (life insurance and health benefits) on a claims-made basis, which were $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.

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 Holdings, LLC’s (“Terphane) manufacturing facility in Brazil is the beneficiary of certain income tax incentives that allow for a reduction in the statutory Brazilian federal income tax rate levied on the operating profit of its products. These incentives produce a current effective tax rate of 15.25% for Terphane Ltda. (6.25% of income tax and 9.0% social contribution on income). The current incentives will expire at the end of 2014, but the Company anticipates that it will qualify for additional incentives that will extend beyond 2014. The benefit from tax incentives was $0.1 million (0 cents per share) and $1.6 million (5 cents per share) in the first six months of 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Tredegar and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S., various states and jurisdictions outside the U.S. With few exceptions, Tredegar and its subsidiaries are no longer subject to state or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2010.

Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”), dated as of November 18, 2013, with Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Rights Agent, one purchase right (a “Right”) was attached to each outstanding share of the Company’s Common Stock.  All Rights previously issued under the original Rights Agreement, dated as of June 30, 1999, and the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2009, that were appurtenant to shares of Common Stock outstanding at the effective time of the Rights Agreement remained outstanding. 
Each Right entitled the registered holder to purchase from Tredegar one one-hundredth of a share of our Series A Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) at an exercise price of $150, subject to adjustment (the “Purchase Price”). The Rights will become exercisable, if not earlier redeemed, only if a person or group (i) acquires beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock or (ii) commences, or publicly discloses an intention to commence, a tender offer or exchange offer that would result in beneficial ownership by a person or group of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock (in each case thereby becoming an “Acquiring Person”).  Any person or group that beneficially owned 20% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock as of the first date of public announcement of the adoption of the Rights Agreement will not become an Acquiring Person unless and until such person or group acquires beneficial ownership of additional shares of Common Stock (other than beneficial ownership of any Common Stock which is acquired, whether in the form of options, restricted stock or other equity-linked securities, as compensation for services as an officer or director of the Company) representing 1% or more of the Common Stock then outstanding.
 
The Rights Agreement provided that if any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, each holder of a Right (other than Rights held by an Acquiring Person) will become entitled to receive, upon exercise and payment of the Purchase Price, Preferred Stock or, at the option of Tredegar, Common Stock (or, in certain circumstances, cash,

19



property or other securities of the Company) having a value equal to twice the amount of the Purchase Price.  In addition, in the event that, at any time following the date that a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock,  (i) Tredegar is acquired in a merger, statutory share exchange, or other business combination in which Tredegar is not the surviving corporation, or (ii) 50% or more of our assets or earning power is sold or transferred, each holder of a Right (other than Rights held by an Acquiring Person) shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise and payment of the Purchase Price, common stock of the acquiring company (or comparable equity securities of an acquiring entity that is not a corporation) having a value equal to twice the Purchase Price.  

The Rights were scheduled to expire on June 30, 2019.  On February 19, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the termination of the Rights Agreement and the redemption of all of the outstanding Rights, at a redemption price of $.01 per Right to be paid in cash to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 3, 2014. The corresponding redemption payment of $0.3 million was made in the first quarter of 2014.

In November 2009, 3M filed a patent infringement complaint in the United States 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 our sales of certain elastic film product lines, which include our 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, Tredegar was notified by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“U.S. Customs”) that certain film products exported by Terphane Holdings, LLC (“Terphane”) to the U.S. since November 6, 2008 could be subject to duties associated with an antidumping duty order on imported PET films from Brazil.  The Company contested the applicability of these antidumping duties to the films exported by Terphane, and we filed a request with the U.S. Department of Commerce (“Commerce”) for clarification about whether the film products at issue are within the scope of the antidumping 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 antidumping duties because Commerce’s scope ruling was overturned on appeal, or otherwise, indemnifications for related liabilities are specifically provided for under the Terphane purchase agreement.

15.
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a revised standard that changes current guidance for discontinued 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 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 contains 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 customers. The amendments in this revised standard are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after

20



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 eliminate the concept of development stage entities and all specified presentation and reporting requirement 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 variable 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 the consolidation guidance are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period. The new standard is not 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 period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The amended standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard is not expected to impact the Company.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Forward-looking and Cautionary Statements
Some of the information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When using the words “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “project,” “likely,” “may” and similar expressions, Tredegar does so to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on then current expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those addressed in the forward-looking statements. It is possible that actual results and financial condition may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results and financial condition indicated in these forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from expectations include, without limitation: acquired businesses, including Terphane Holdings LLC (“Terphane”) and AACOA, Inc. (“AACOA”), may not achieve the levels of revenue, profit, productivity or otherwise perform as we expect; acquisitions, including our acquisitions of Terphane and AACOA, involve special risks, including without limitation, diversion of management’s time and attention to our existing businesses, the potential assumption of unanticipated liabilities and contingencies and potential difficulties in integrating acquired businesses and achieving anticipated operational improvements; Film Products is highly dependent on sales to one customer — The Procter & Gamble Company (“P&G”); growth of Film Products depends on its ability to develop and deliver new products at competitive prices; sales volume and profitability of Aluminum Extrusions are cyclical and highly dependent on economic conditions of end-use markets in the U.S., particularly in the building and construction sector, and are also subject to seasonal slowdowns; substantial international operations subject Tredegar to risks of doing business in foreign countries, which could adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations; future performance is influenced by costs incurred by Tredegar’s operating companies including, for example, the cost of energy and raw materials; and the other factors discussed in the reports Tredegar files with or furnishes to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) from time to time, including the risks and important factors set forth in additional detail in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of Tredegar’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2013 Form 10-K”) filed with the SEC. Readers are urged to review and carefully consider the disclosures Tredegar makes in its filings with the SEC, including the 2013 Form 10-K. Tredegar does not undertake, and expressly disclaims any duty, to update any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in management’s expectations or any change in conditions, assumptions or circumstances on which such statements are based.
References herein to “Tredegar,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” are to Tredegar Corporation and its subsidiaries, collectively, unless the context otherwise indicates or requires.

Second-Quarter Results Versus Prior Year Second Quarter
Net sales (sales less freight) in the second quarter of 2014 decreased in comparison to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to lower volumes, partially offset by an increase in average selling prices and the favorable impact of the change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S. Lower volumes had an unfavorable impact of

23



approximately $15.4 million on net sales in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013. Declining sales of certain babycare elastic laminate films sold in North America and lower sales volumes for surface protection, flexible packaging and polyethylene overwrap films were partially offset by higher volumes for other personal care products. Lower volumes in surface protection films were primarily related to customer inventory corrections in the current year and a minor loss of market share in lower-tier film due to competitive pricing. The estimated change in average selling prices had a favorable impact on net sales of approximately $2.0 million. Higher average selling prices due to the favorable impact of the contractual pass-through of certain costs, primarily an increase in average resin prices, were partially offset by competitive pricing pressures in flexible packaging films and personal care materials. The change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S. had a favorable impact on second-quarter net sales of approximately $1.1 million.
Operating profit from ongoing operations in the second quarter of 2014 decreased in comparison to the second quarter of 2013. Lower sales volumes had an estimated unfavorable impact on operating profit from ongoing operations of approximately $5.7 million, which included a decrease of approximately $2.2 million related to declining volumes for certain babycare elastic laminate films sold in North America. As previously announced, sales of certain babycare elastic films will be discontinued in the second half of 2014, with only a de minimis level of sales remaining in the third quarter of 2014. Competitive pricing pressures, primarily in flexible packaging films, had an estimated unfavorable impact on operating profit from ongoing operations of approximately $0.3 million in the current year. Improved operational performance, primarily in personal care materials and surface protection films, which was partially offset by higher manufacturing expenses in flexible packaging films, increased operating profit from ongoing operations by approximately $0.2 million.
The change in the dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S. had a favorable impact on operating profit from ongoing operations of approximately $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in the prior year. 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 $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2013 (insignificant in the second quarter of 2014).

Net sales in the first six months of 2014 decreased in comparison to the same period in the prior year as lower volumes were partially offset by an increase in average selling prices and the favorable impact of the change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S. Lower volumes had an unfavorable impact of approximately $19.2 million on net sales in the first six months of 2014 compared to the first six months of 2013. Declining sales of certain babycare elastic laminate films sold in North America and reduced sales volumes for polyethylene overwrap, flexible packaging and surface protection films were partially offset by higher volumes for other personal care products. Lower volumes in surface protection films were primarily related to customer inventory corrections in the current year and a minor loss of market share in lower-tier film due to competitive pricing. The estimated change in average selling prices had a favorable impact on net sales of approximately $0.7 million. Higher average selling prices due to the favorable impact of the contractual pass-through of certain costs, primarily an increase in average resin prices, were partially offset by competitive pricing pressures in flexible packaging films and personal care materials. The change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S. had a favorable impact on current year net sales of approximately $1.0 million.
Operating profit from ongoing operations in the first six months of 2014 decreased in comparison to the first six months of 2013. Lower sales volumes had an estimated unfavorable impact on operating profit from ongoing operations of approximately $6.1 million, which included a decrease of approximately $3.4 million related to declining volumes for certain babycare elastic laminate films sold in North America. Competitive pricing pressures, primarily in flexible packaging films, had an estimated unfavorable impact on operating profit from ongoing operations of approximately $2.5 million in the current year. Improved operational performance, primarily in personal care materials and surface protection films, which was partially offset by higher manufacturing expenses in flexible packaging films, increased operating profit from ongoing operations by approximately $0.6 million.
The change in the dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S. had a favorable impact on operating profit from ongoing operations of approximately $3.4 million in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same period in the prior year. The estimated impact on operating profit from ongoing operations of the quarterly lag in the pass-through of average resin costs was approximately negative $0.3 million in the first six months of 2014 and negative $0.6 million in the first six months of 2013.
Capital expenditures in Film Products were $18.8 million in the first six months of 2014 compared to $30.0 million in the first six months of 2013. Capital expenditures for the first six months of 2014 and 2013 include approximately $10.6 million and $19.0 million, respectively, for a previously announced project that will expand capacity at the Company’s manufacturing facility in Cabo de Santo Agostinho, Brazil. The additional capacity for this project is expected to be available in the fourth quarter of 2014. Film Products currently estimates that capital expenditures in 2014 will be approximately $45

24



million, including approximately $15 million for routine capital expenditures required to support operations. Depreciation expense was $14.1 million in the first six months of 2014 and $15.9 million in the first six months of 2013, and is projected to be approximately $28 million in 2014. Amortization expense was $1.9 million in the first six months of 2014 and $2.6 million in the first six months of 2013, and is projected to be approximately $4 million in 2014.
Outlook
Due to various investments in additional capacity to support key growth initiatives, the Company has characterized the current year as a building year, with volume growth heavily reliant on the timely ramp-up of new capacity. While the Company is making progress with many of its new product, key customer and emerging market growth initiatives, volumes in 2014 will fall short of previously announced performance targets, primarily due to the delay in the start-up of the new flexible packaging line in Brazil. This ramp-up of additional capacity in Brazil is now expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2014. In addition, sales volumes in surface protection films are expected to be lower than previously anticipated due to the impact of customer inventory corrections and a minor loss of market share in lower-tier film due to competitive pricing pressures. As a result, current year sales volumes in Film Products are now expected to be approximately 7-10% lower than 2013 levels. Until the additional capacity in Brazil begins to ramp-up, lower sales volumes due to the factors noted above are expected to negatively impact operating profit from ongoing operations in the second half of 2014 when compared to the prior year. Despite the expectation of lower sales volumes in 2014, Film Products expects to meet its margin performance target in 2014 as a result of operational efficiencies, favorable product mix and ongoing efforts to manage costs. With the investments being made in 2014, the Company remains confident that it is well positioned for future growth in attractive markets.

Second-Quarter Results Versus Prior Year Second Quarter
Net sales in the second quarter of 2014 increased in comparison to the second quarter of 2013 primarily due to higher sales volumes and an increase in average prices. Higher sales volumes had a favorable impact of approximately $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2014. The favorable change in average selling prices can be attributed to various factors, including 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 sales of fabricated components.
Operating profit from ongoing operations increased by $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013 primarily as a result of the favorable impact of manufacturing efficiencies, reduced selling, general and administrative expenses, higher sales volumes and a more favorable product mix. Improved margins from manufacturing efficiencies and reduced selling, general and administrative expenses increased operating profit from ongoing operations by approximately $1.9 million. Operating profit from ongoing operations in the prior year was impacted by a one-time, construction-related expense of approximately $0.3 million associated with the automotive press project at the Company’s manufacturing facility in Newnan, Georgia. Higher sales volumes and a more favorable product mix increased operating profit from ongoing operations by approximately $0.8 million.
Year-To-Date Results Versus Prior Year-To-Date
Net sales in the first six months of 2014 increased in comparison to the first six months of 2013 primarily due to higher sales volumes. Higher sales volumes had a favorable impact of approximately $5.8 million in the first six months of 2014. In addition to higher sales volumes, there was a favorable change in average selling prices that can be attributed to inflationary price increases and a favorable change in product mix, partially offset by lower average aluminum prices. Favorable changes in product mix can be attributed to a higher percentage of painted and anodized finished products as well as an increase in the sales of fabricated components.

25



Operating profit from ongoing operations increased by $3.9 million in the first six months of 2014 compared to the first six months of 2013 primarily as a result of the favorable impact of manufacturing efficiencies and reduced selling, general and administrative expenses. Excluding the impact of unanticipated costs as a result of adverse winter weather conditions in the first quarter of 2014, improved margins from manufacturing efficiencies and reduced selling, general and administrative expenses increased operating profit from ongoing operations by approximately $2.9 million. In addition, operating profit from ongoing operations in the prior year was impacted by a one-time, construction-related expense of approximately $0.3 million associated with the automotive press project at the Company’s manufacturing facility in Newnan, Georgia. Additional utility, distribution and manufacturing costs due to adverse winter weather conditions in the first quarter of 2014 had an estimated unfavorable impact on operating profit from ongoing operations of approximately $1.2 million. Higher sales volumes and improved product mix primarily account for the remaining increase in current year operating profit from ongoing operations.
Capital expenditures for Aluminum Extrusions were $4.0 million in the first six months of 2014 compared to $4.6 million in the first six months of 2013. Capital expenditures are projected to be approximately $9 million in 2014, which includes approximately $5 million for routine capital expenditures required to support operations. Depreciation expense was $4.1 million in the first six months of 2014 compared to $3.7 million in the first six months of 2013, and is projected to be approximately $8.5 million in 2014. Amortization expense was $0.9 million in the first six months of 2014 and $0.9 million in the first six months of 2013, and is projected to be approximately $1.6 million in 2014.
Outlook
During the first six months of 2014, volumes in Aluminum Extrusions increased in key non-construction end-markets such as consumer durables and machinery and equipment, along with incremental volume from the new automotive press. Year-to-date industry growth in the nonresidential building and construction market, Aluminum Extrusions’ largest market, has lagged behind industry projections. In addition, a program delay for a key automotive customer has shifted the volume ramp-up for that automotive program from the third to the fourth quarter of 2014. As a result, volume growth in 2014 is expected to be in the range of 6-8% higher than 2013. The adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be 9-10% in 2014 as a result of continued operational efficiencies and a favorable product mix.
Corporate Expenses, Interest and Taxes
Pension expense was $3.9 million in the first six months of 2014, a favorable change of $2.8 million from the first six months of 2013. Most of the pension impact on earnings is reflected in “Corporate expenses, net” in the net sales and operating profit by segment table. Corporate expenses, net decreased in 2014 versus 2013 primarily due to the reduction in pension expenses noted above and lower stock-based employee benefit accruals, partially offset by the timing of certain non-recurring corporate expenditures. In 2014, corporate expenses, net included costs of $0.9 million related to responding to a Schedule 13D filed with the SEC by certain shareholders.
Interest expense was $1.2 million in the first six months of 2014 in comparison to $1.4 million in the first six months of 2013.
The effective tax rate used to compute income taxes from continuing operations was 35.6% in the first six months of 2014 compared to 32.6% in the first six months of 2013. Income taxes from continuing operations in the first six months of 2014 were relatively consistent with the federal statutory rate as a result of various mitigating factors, while income taxes from continuing operations in the first six months of 2013 primarily reflect the benefit of foreign tax incentives and the timing of a research and development tax credit, partially offset by the impact of differences in state tax rates. Significant differences between the estimated effective tax rate for income from continuing operations and the U.S. federal statutory rate for 2014 and 2013 are provided in the table provided in Note 12 on page 19.

Critical Accounting Policies
In the ordinary course of business, the 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 generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company believes the estimates, assumptions and judgments described in the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies” of the 2013 Form 10-K have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements, so Tredegar considers these to be its critical accounting policies. These policies include accounting for impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, investment accounted for under the fair value method, pension benefits and income taxes. 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. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The Company believes the consistent application of these policies enables it to provide readers of the financial statements with useful and reliable information about our operating results and financial condition. Since December 31, 2013, there have been no changes in these policies that have had a material impact on results of operations or financial position.

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a revised standard that changes current guidance for discontinued 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 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 contains 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 customers. 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 eliminate the concept of development stage entities and all specified presentation and reporting requirement 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 variable 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 the consolidation guidance are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period. The new standard is not 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 period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The amended standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard is not expected to impact the Company.

Results of Operations
Second Quarter 2014 Compared with Second Quarter 2013
Overall, sales in the second quarter of 2014 decreased by 2.7% compared with the second quarter of 2013. Net sales (sales less freight) decreased 7.7% in Film Products due to lower volumes, partially offset by an increase in average selling prices and the favorable impact of the change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S. Net sales increased 8.6% in Aluminum Extrusions primarily due to higher sales volumes and an increase in average prices primarily driven by higher average aluminum prices driven by various factors, including 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 fabricated components. For more information on net sales and volume, see the executive summary beginning on page 22.
Consolidated gross profit (sales minus cost of goods sold and freight) as a percentage of sales increased to 16.2% in the second quarter of 2014 from 15.4% in the second quarter of 2013. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was favorably impacted by lower pension expenses in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 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, which does not include lower pension expenses, decreased primarily due to lower sales volumes and competitive pricing pressures, primarily in personal care materials and flexible packaging films, partially offset by improved operational performance in personal care materials and surface protection films and the favorable impact of the change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S. Gross profit margin in Aluminum Extrusions, which does not include lower pension expenses, increased as a result of manufacturing efficiencies, lower fixed costs and improved product mix.
As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative and R&D expenses were 8.2% in the second quarter of 2014, which was a slight decrease from 8.4% in the second quarter of last year. The decrease can be primarily attributed to the reduction of selling, general and administrative costs in Aluminum Extrusions.
Plant shutdowns, asset impairments, restructurings and other items in the second quarter of 2014 shown in the segment operating profit table on page 23 include:
 
Pretax charge of $10 million (included in “Other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statements of income) associated with a one-time, lump sum license payment to the 3M Company (“3M”) after the Company settled all litigation issues associated with a patent infringement complaint (see Note 14 for additional detail on this legal matter);
Pretax charges of $0.6 million associated with severance and other employee-related costs associated with restructurings in Film Products;
Pretax charges of $0.3 million associated with the shutdown of the film products manufacturing facility in Red Springs, North Carolina, which includes severance and other employee-related costs of $0.2 million and asset impairment and other shutdown-related charges of $0.1 million;
Pretax charges of $0.2 million related to expected future environmental costs at the Company’s aluminum extrusions manufacturing facility in Newnan, Georgia (included in “Cost of goods sold” in the consolidated statements of income); and
Pretax charges of $24,000 associated with the shutdown of the aluminum extrusions manufacturing facility in Kentland, Indiana.
Plant shutdowns, asset impairments, restructurings and other items in the second quarter of 2013 shown in the segment operating profit table on page 23 include:
 
Net pretax charges of $0.3 million associated with the shutdown of the aluminum extrusions manufacturing facility in Kentland, Indiana;
Pretax charges of $0.1 million for integration-related expenses and other non-recurring transactions (included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the consolidated statements of income) associated with the acquisition of AACOA by Aluminum Extrusions;

28



Pretax loss of $0.1 million related to the sale of previously impaired machinery and equipment at our film products manufacturing facility in Shanghai, China (included in “Other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statements of income); and
Pretax charge of $0.1 million related to expected future environmental costs at our aluminum extrusions manufacturing facility in Newnan, Georgia (included in “Cost of goods sold” in the consolidated statements of income).
Results include an unrealized loss on the Company’s investment in kaleo, Inc. (“kaléo”) of $1.1 million ($0.7 million after taxes) in the second quarter of 2014 and an unrealized gain of $2.1 million ($1.3 million after taxes) in the second quarter of 2013. An unrealized loss on our investment in the Harbinger Fund (included in “Other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statements of income and “Corporate expenses, net” in the statement of net sales and operating profit by segment) of $0.3 million ($0.2 million after taxes) was recorded in the second quarter of 2014 as a result of a reduction in the value of our investment that is not expected to be temporary (none in the second quarter of 2013). The Company realized a gain on the sale of a portion of its investment property in Alleghany and Bath Counties, Virginia of $1.2 million ($0.8 million after taxes) in the second quarter of 2014. The Company recorded an unrealized loss on this investment property of $1.0 million ($0.6 million after taxes) in the second quarter of 2013. See Note 8 beginning on page 13 for additional information on investments.
On February 12, 2008, the Company sold its aluminum extrusions business in Canada for approximately $25.0 million to an affiliate of H.I.G. Capital. An accrual of $8.3 million ($8.3 million after taxes) was made for indemnifications under the purchase agreement related to environmental matters in the second quarter of 2013 (none in the second quarter of 2014). All historical results for this business have been reflected as discontinued operations.
Interest income, which is included in “Other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statements of income, was $0.1 million and $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively. Interest expense was $0.5 million and $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively. Average debt outstanding and interest rates were as follows:

The effective tax rate used to compute income taxes from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2014 was 36.6% compared to 36.4% in the second quarter of 2013. The change in the effective tax rate for the second quarter reflects the impact to income taxes during the second quarter to adjust the effective tax rate for the first six months of the year to the rate estimated for the entire year. The significant differences between the U.S. federal statutory rate and the effective tax rate for income from continuing operations for the first six months is shown in the table provided in Note 12 on page 19.
First Six Months of 2014 Compared with First Six Months of 2013
Overall, sales in the first six months of 2014 decreased by 2.7% compared with the first six months of 2013. Net sales decreased 5.6% in Film Products due to lower volumes, partially offset by an increase in average selling prices and the favorable impact of the change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S. Net sales increased 3.8% in Aluminum Extrusions primarily due to higher sales volumes. For more information on net sales and volume, see the executive summary beginning on page 22.
Consolidated gross profit (sales minus cost of goods sold and freight) as a percentage of sales increased to 16.1% in the six months of 2014 from 15.3% in the first six months of 2013. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was favorably impacted by lower pension expenses in the first six months of 2014 compared to the first six months of 2013. As previously noted, most

29



of the impact of lower pension expense is not allocated to Film Products and Aluminum Extrusions. The gross profit margin in Film Products, which does not include lower pension expenses, was relatively consistent with the prior year primarily due to improved operational performance in personal care materials and surface protection films, the favorable impact of the change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S., partially offset by competitive pricing pressures, primarily in personal care materials and flexible packaging films, and lower volumes. The gross profit margin in Aluminum Extrusions, which does not include lower pension expenses, increased as a result of manufacturing efficiencies, lower fixed costs and improved product mix.
As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative and R&D expenses were 8.6% in the first six months of 2014, which was relatively consistent with 8.7% in the first six months of last year.
Plant shutdowns, asset impairments, restructurings and other items in the first six months of 2014 shown in the segment operating profit table on page 23 include:
Pretax charge of $10 million (included in “Other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statements of income) associated with a one-time, lump sum license payment to the 3M Company (“3M”) after the Company settled all litigation issues associated with a patent infringement complaint (see Note 14 for additional detail on this legal matter);
Pretax charges of $1.4 million associated with severance and other employee-related costs associated with restructurings in Film Products;
Pretax charges of $0.7 million associated with the shutdown of the film products manufacturing facility in Red Springs, North Carolina, which includes severance and other employee-related costs of $0.4 million and asset impairment and other shutdown-related charges of $0.3 million;
Pretax charges of $0.2 million related to expected future environmental costs at the Company’s aluminum extrusions manufacturing facility in Newnan, Georgia (included in “Cost of goods sold” in the consolidated statements of income); and
