NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Information at September 30, 2020 and 2019 and for the
three and nine months then ended is unaudited)
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation . The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Silgan Holdings Inc., or Silgan, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year.
The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2019 has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
You should read the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. We review goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment as of July 1 of each year and more frequently if circumstances indicate a possible impairment. We determined that our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets were not impaired in our annual 2020 assessment performed during the third quarter.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements. In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued an accounting standards update, or ASU, that amends the guidance on the accounting for credit losses on financial instruments . This new standard introduces an approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. The new approach to estimating credit losses (referred to as the current expected credit losses model) applies to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables. We adopted this new standard on January 1, 2020 using the transition method, which allowed us to recognize the effects of applying this standard as a cumulative effect to retained earnings as of January 1, 2020. As a result of the adoption of this standard, we reduced retained earnings by $ 0.7 million. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 2. Revenue
The following tables present our revenues disaggregated by reportable business segment and geography as they best depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Revenues by business segment were as follows:

Note 3. Acquisitions
Cobra Plastics Acquisition
On February 4, 2020 we acquired Cobra Plastics, Inc., or Cobra Plastics, a manufacturer and seller of injection molded plastic closures for a wide variety of consumer products, with a particular focus on the aerosol overcap market. The purchase price for this acquisition of $ 39.8 million, net of cash acquired, was primarily funded with revolving loan borrowings under our amended and restated senior secured credit facility, or the Credit Agreement. For this acquisition, we applied the acquisition method of accounting and recognized assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value as of the acquisition date, and we recognized goodwill of $ 18.4 million and a customer relationship intangible asset of $ 11.5 million. Cobra Plastics' results of operations were included in our closures business since the acquisition date and were not significant since such date.
Albéa Dispensing Business Acquisition
On June 1, 2020, we acquired the dispensing operations of the Albéa Group, or the Albéa Dispensing Business, a leading global supplier of highly engineered pumps, sprayers and foam dispensing solutions to major branded consumer goods product companies in the beauty and personal care markets. It operates a global network of ten manufacturing facilities across North America, Europe, South America and Asia. This acquisition is strategically important for us, as it expands our closures franchise and, in particular, our dispensing systems operations. The Albéa Dispensing Business is included in our closures business as of the acquisition date.
We acquired the Albéa Dispensing Business for a purchase price in cash of $ 901.0 million, net of cash acquired. The purchase price is subject to adjustment for working capital, other current assets and current liabilities and net indebtedness. We incurred acquisition related costs for the Albéa Dispensing Business totaling $ 0.7 million and $ 19.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. We funded the purchase price for this acquisition with term and revolving loan borrowings under the Credit Agreement, including a delayed draw term loan of $ 900 million. See Note 8 for further information.
The initial purchase price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values at the date of acquisition using valuation techniques including the income, cost and market approaches, primarily using Level 3 inputs (as defined in Note 9). The purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to change pending a final valuation of the assets and liabilities, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, and the related tax impact of any adjustments to

(Information at September 30, 2020 and 2019 and for the

such valuations. In connection with this acquisition, we recorded a charge of $ 3.5 million related to the write-up of acquired inventory of the Albéa Dispensing Business as a result of purchase accounting.
The allocated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are summarized as follows (in thousands)
Trade accounts receivable $ 42,742
Inventories 41,102
Property, plant and equipment 192,723
Other intangible assets 285,000
Other assets 33,478
Trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities ( 62,930 )
Deferred income tax liabilities ( 101,795 )
Debt and other liabilities ( 31,843 )
Total identifiable net assets 398,477
Goodwill 502,570
Cash paid at closing, net of cash acquired $ 901,047
Goodwill of $ 502.6 million consists largely of our increased capacity to serve our global customers and achieve operational synergies and has been assigned to our closures segment. A majority of the goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Other intangible assets consist of customer relationships of $ 257.0 million with an estimated remaining life of 24 years and technology know-how of $ 28.0 million with an estimated remaining life of 8 years. Acquired property, plant and equipment are being depreciated on a straight-line basis with estimated remaining lives of up to 35 years.
Our consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 included the results for the Albéa Dispensing Business since the acquisition date. Net sales from the Albéa Dispensing Business operations of $ 81.3 million and $ 111.2 million were included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.
Note 4. Rationalization Charges
We continually evaluate cost reduction opportunities across each of our businesses, including rationalizations of our existing facilities through plant closings and downsizings. We use a disciplined approach to identify opportunities that generate attractive cash returns. Rationalization charges by business segment were as follows:

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Information at September 30, 2020 and 2019 and for the
three and nine months then ended is unaudited)
At September 30, 2020, the current portion of long-term debt consisted of $ 246.0 million of bank revolving loans under the Credit Agreement, $ 36.6 million of other foreign bank revolving and term loans and $ 1.9 million of finance leases.
On February 26, 2020, we issued (i) an additional $ 200 million aggregate principal amount of our 4⅛% Senior Notes due 2028, or the 4⅛% Notes, at 99.5 percent of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest from November 12, 2019, and € 500 million aggregate principal amount of our 2¼% Senior Notes due 2028, or the 2¼% Notes, at 100 percent of their principal amount. We used the net proceeds from these issuances and revolving loan borrowings under the Credit Agreement to prepay all of our outstanding U.S. term loans under the Credit Agreement at that time. As a result of this prepayment, we recorded a pre-tax charge for the loss on early extinguishment of debt of $ 1.5 million during the first quarter of 2020 for the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs.
2¼% S ENIOR N OTES
The 2¼% Notes are general unsecured obligations of Silgan, ranking equal in right of payment with our existing and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness, including our 4¾% Senior Notes due 2025, or the 4¾% Notes, our 3¼% Senior Notes due 2025, or the 3¼% Notes, and the 4⅛% Notes, and ahead of our existing and future subordinated debt, if any. The 2¼% Notes are effectively subordinated to Silgan’s secured debt to the extent of the assets securing such debt and structurally subordinated to all obligations of subsidiaries of Silgan.
The 2¼% Notes will mature on June 1, 2028. Interest on the 2¼% Notes will be payable semi-annually in cash on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on July 15, 2020. The 2¼% Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture by and among Silgan, U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, Elavon Financial Services DAC, UK Branch, as paying agent, and Elavon Financial Services DAC, as registrar and transfer agent, which indenture contains covenants that are generally less restrictive than those in the Credit Agreement and substantially similar to the covenants in the indenture for the 4¾% Notes and the 3¼% Notes and the indenture for the 4⅛% Notes.
The 2¼% Notes are redeemable, at our option, in whole or in part, at any time after March 1, 2023, initially at 101.125 percent of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, declining ratably to 100 percent of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, on or after March 1, 2025.
In addition, prior to March 1, 2023, we may redeem up to 35 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the 2¼% Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 102.25 percent of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. We may also redeem the 2¼% Notes, in whole or in part, prior to March 1, 2023 at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of their principal amount plus a make-whole premium as provided in the indenture for the 2¼% Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. We will be required to make an offer to repurchase the 2¼% Notes at a repurchase price equal to 101 percent of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase, upon the occurrence of a change of control repurchase event as provided in the indenture for the 2¼% Notes.
Incremental U.S. Term Loans
On April 17, 2020, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, or the Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, with the lenders thereunder and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent and a lender. The Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement was entered into pursuant to the Credit Agreement and provided for the lenders thereunder to lend to us, on a delayed draw basis, $ 900 million of Incremental U.S. Term Loans, or the Incremental U.S. Term Loans, to fund the purchase price for the acquisition of the Albéa Dispensing Business. On June 1, 2020, we borrowed $ 900 million of Incremental U.S. Term Loans under the Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement to fund the purchase price for the acquisition of the Albéa Dispensing Business.
The Incremental U.S. Term Loans mature on May 30, 2024 and are repayable in installments of $ 90 million on each of December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, with the remaining outstanding principal balance to be repaid on May 30, 2024.
The Incremental U.S. Term Loans initially have an Applicable Margin (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 1.75 percent per annum in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and 0.75 percent per annum in the case of Base Rate Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement), in both cases until the delivery of our financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2020. The Applicable Margin will vary between 1.25 percent to 1.75 percent per annum for Eurodollar

Rate Loans and between 0.25 percent to 0.75 percent per annum for Base Rate Loans, in both cases based on our Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
The Incremental U.S. Term Loans are guaranteed by the US Guarantors (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and secured on a pari passu basis by the same collateral that secures our outstanding loans under the Credit Agreement.
Note 9. Financial Instruments
The financial instruments recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, debt obligations and swap agreements. Due to their short-term maturity, the carrying amounts of trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable approximate their fair market values. The following table summarizes the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our other financial instruments at September 30, 2020:
Carrying
Amount Fair
Value
(Dollars in thousands)
Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents $ 193,759 $ 193,759
Liabilities:
Bank debt $ 1,185,825 $ 1,185,825
4¾% Senior Notes 300,000 305,250
3¼% Senior Notes 762,223 772,589

2¼% Senior Notes 586,325 573,133
Derivative instruments (accrued and other liabilities) 6,588 6,588
Fair Value Measurements
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). GAAP classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into a hierarchy consisting of three levels. Level 1 inputs represent unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs represent unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs represent unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value
The financial assets and liabilities that were measured on a recurring basis at September 30, 2020 consisted of our cash and cash equivalents and derivative instruments. We measured the fair value of cash and cash equivalents using Level 1 inputs. We measured the fair value of our derivative instruments using the income approach. The fair value of our derivative instruments reflects the estimated amounts that we would pay or receive based on the present value of the expected cash flows derived from market interest rates and prices. As such, these derivative instruments were classified within Level 2.
Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value
Our bank debt, 4¾% Senior Notes, 3¼% Senior Notes, 4⅛% Senior Notes and 2¼% Senior Notes were recorded at historical amounts in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, as we have not elected to measure them at fair value. We measured the fair value of our variable rate bank debt using the market approach based on Level 2 inputs. Fair values of the 4¾% Senior

Notes, 3¼% Senior Notes, 4⅛% Senior Notes and 2¼% Senior Notes were estimated based on quoted market prices, a Level 1 input.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Our derivative financial instruments were recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair values. Changes in fair values of derivatives are recorded in each period in earnings or comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction.
We utilize certain derivative financial instruments to manage a portion of our interest rate and natural gas cost exposures. We generally limit our use of derivative financial instruments to interest rate and natural gas swap agreements. We do not engage in trading or other speculative uses of these financial instruments. For a financial instrument to qualify as a hedge, we must be exposed to interest rate or price risk, and the financial instrument must reduce the exposure and be designated as a hedge. Financial instruments qualifying for hedge accounting must maintain a high correlation between the hedging instrument and the item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the hedged period.
We utilize certain internal hedging strategies to minimize our foreign currency exchange rate risk. Net investment hedges that qualify for hedge accounting result in the recognition of foreign currency gains or losses, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive loss. We generally do not utilize external derivative financial instruments to manage our foreign currency exchange rate risk.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
We have entered into two U.S. dollar interest rate swap agreements, each for $ 50.0 million notional principal amount, to manage a portion of our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. These agreements have a fixed rate of 2.878 percent and mature on March 24, 2023. The difference between amounts to be paid or received on our interest rate swap agreements is recorded in interest and other debt expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and was not significant for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020. These agreements are with a financial institution which is expected to fully perform under the terms thereof. The total fair value of our interest rate swap agreements in effect at September 30, 2020 was not significant.
Natural Gas Swap Agreements
We have entered into natural gas swap agreements to manage a portion of our exposure to fluctuations in natural gas prices. The difference between amounts to be paid or received on our natural gas swap agreements is recorded in cost of goods sold in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and was not significant for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020. These agreements are with a financial institution which is expected to fully perform under the terms thereof. The total fair value of our natural gas swap agreements in effect at September 30, 2020 was not significant.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
In an effort to minimize foreign currency exchange rate risk, we have financed acquisitions of foreign operations primarily with borrowings denominated in Euros and Canadian dollars. In addition, where available, we have borrowed funds in local currency or implemented certain internal hedging strategies to minimize our foreign currency exchange rate risk related to foreign operations. We have designated the 3¼% Senior Notes and the 2¼% Senior Notes, which are Euro denominated, as net investment hedges. Foreign currency losses related to our net investment hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $( 25.2 ) million and $( 41.4 ) million, respectively.

We have been accepted into the Compliance Assurance Program for the 2019 and 2020 tax years which provides for the review by the IRS of tax matters relating to our tax return prior to filing.
Note 13. Treasury Stock
On October 17, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase by us of up to an aggregate of $ 300.0 million of our common stock by various means from time to time through and including December 31, 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we repurchased an aggregate of 259,461 shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $ 26.71 , for a total purchase price of $ 6.9 million. At September 30, 2020, we had approximately $ 105.6 million remaining under this authorization for the repurchase of our common stock.
During the first nine months of 2020, we issued 582,151 treasury shares which had an average cost of $ 3.16 per share for restricted stock units that vested during the period. In accordance with the Silgan Holdings Inc. Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, we repurchased 217,325 shares of our common stock at an average cost of $ 28.63 to satisfy minimum employee withholding tax requirements resulting from the vesting of such restricted stock units.
We account for treasury shares using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost method. As of September 30, 2020, 64,226,667 shares of our common stock were held in treasury.
Note 14. Stock-Based Compensation
We currently have one stock-based compensation plan in effect under which we have issued options and restricted stock units to our officers, other key employees and outside directors. During the first nine months of 2020, 453,622 restricted stock units were granted to certain of our officers, other key employees and outside directors. The fair value of these restricted stock units at the grant date was $ 13.6 million, which is being amortized ratably over the respective vesting period from the grant date.

Sales and segment income of our metal container business and part of our closures business are dependent, in part, upon fruit and vegetable harvests. The size and quality of these harvests varies from year to year, depending in large part upon the weather conditions in applicable regions. Because of the seasonality of the harvests, we have historically experienced higher unit sales volume in the third quarter of our fiscal year and generated a disproportionate amount of our annual segment income during that quarter.
