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, 2023 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, 2023.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation.

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.

Remaining expenses for the accretion of interest for the withdrawal liability related to the Central States Pension Plan are expected to average approximately $0.8 million per year and be recognized annually through 2040, and remaining cash expenditures for the withdrawal liability related to the Central States Pension Plan are expected to be approximately $2.6 million annually through 2040.

Note 7. 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, 2024:


	Carrying Amount		Fair Value
	(Dollars in thousands)
Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	368,507	$	368,507


Liabilities:
Bank debt	$	1,398,127	$	1,398,127


3¼% Senior Notes	725,400		723,949
4⅛% Senior Notes	599,532		585,354
2¼% Senior Notes	558,000		524,609
1.4% Senior Secured Notes	499,916		474,235

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, 2024 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, 3¼% Senior Notes, 4⅛% Senior Notes, 2¼% Senior Notes and 1.4% Senior Secured 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 3¼% Senior Notes, 4⅛% Senior Notes, 2¼% Senior Notes and 1.4% Senior Secured 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 also 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.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

In March 2023, we entered into $300 million aggregate notional principal amount of U.S. dollar interest rate swap agreements to manage a portion of our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. These agreements have a weighted average fixed rate of 3.90 percent, mature in April 2026 and were entered into with financial institutions which are expected to fully perform under the terms thereof. 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 months ended September 30, 2024. The total fair value of our interest rate swaps agreements in effect at September 30, 2024 was not significant. See Note 15 for further information.

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 months ended September 30, 2024. 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, 2024 was not significant.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

In an effort to minimize our foreign currency exchange rate risk, we have financed acquisitions of foreign operations primarily with borrowings denominated in Euros. 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, including net investment hedges related to the 3¼% Senior Notes which are Euro denominated. Foreign currency (losses) related to our net investment hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $(20.9) million and $(5.4) million, respectively.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

We are a party to other legal proceedings, contract disputes and claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not a party to, and none of our properties are subject to, any pending legal proceedings which could have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition.

Note 9. Supply Chain Finance Program

We have a supply chain finance (“SCF”) program with a major global financial institution. Under this SCF program, a qualifying supplier may elect, but is not obligated, to sell its receivables from us to such financial institution. Once a qualifying supplier elects to participate in this SCF program, all of our payments to the participating supplier are paid to such financial institution in this SCF program on the invoice due date under our agreement with such supplier, regardless of whether the individual invoice was sold by the supplier to such financial institution. We may terminate our agreement with the financial institution upon at least 30 days’ notice, and the financial institution may terminate our agreement upon at least 10 days’ notice. Additionally, suppliers who elect to participate in this SCF program may terminate their participation upon at least 30 days’ notice. The suppliers' invoices sold under this SCF program can be outstanding up to 210 days from the invoice date. Suppliers’ invoices included in this SCF program were $284.2 million, $294.1 million and $330.2 million at September 30, 2024 and 2023 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and were included in accounts payable in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 11. Income Taxes

Silgan and its subsidiaries file U.S. Federal income tax returns, as well as income tax returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, has completed its review of the 2022 tax year with no change to our filed federal income tax return. We have been accepted into the Compliance Assurance Program for the 2023 and 2024 tax years which provides for the review by the IRS of tax matters relating to our tax return prior to filing.

Note 12. Treasury Stock

On March 4, 2022, 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, 2026. We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock pursuant to this authorization during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. At September 30, 2024, we had approximately $93.3 million remaining under this authorization for the repurchase of our common stock.

During the first nine months of 2024, we issued 470,788 treasury shares which had an average cost of $3.19 per share for restricted stock units that vested during the period that had been previously issued under our stock-based compensation plans. In accordance with the applicable agreements for such restricted stock units, we repurchased 176,093 shares of our common stock at an average cost of $43.92 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, 2024, 68,317,846 shares of our common stock were held in treasury.

Note 13. Stock-Based Compensation

We currently have one stock-based compensation plan in effect under which we have issued restricted stock units to our officers, other key employees and outside directors. During the first nine months of 2024, 490,672 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 $21.6 million, which is being amortized ratably over the respective vesting period from the grant date.

Note 14. Segment Information

We evaluate performance of our business segments and allocate resources based on the adjusted EBIT of our business segments. Adjusted EBIT is not a defined term under GAAP. We define adjusted EBIT as income before interest and income taxes excluding acquired intangible asset amortization expense, other pension (income) expense for U.S. pension plans, rationalization charges and costs attributed to announced acquisitions. Adjusted EBIT should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for income before interest and income taxes or any other financial data prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to calculations of similarly titled measures by other companies.

Net sales and adjusted EBIT of our metal containers segment and of part of our dispensing and specialty closures segment are dependent, in part, upon the vegetable and fruit harvests in the United States and, to a lesser extent, in a variety of national growing regions in Europe. 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 adjusted EBIT during that quarter.

Note 15. Subsequent Events

Weener Plastics Holding B.V. Acquisition

On October 15, 2024, we acquired Weener Plastics Holding B.V., or Weener, a leading producer of differentiated dispensing solutions for personal care, food and healthcare products. Weener operates a global network of 19 facilities predominantly in Europe and the Americas, with approximately 4,000 employees and proprietary manufacturing technologies including significant clean room capabilities. The purchase price for this acquisition of approximately €844.2 million, net of cash acquired, was funded with term and revolving loan borrowings under the Credit Agreement, including a new €700.0 million incremental term loan, and cash on hand.

Euro Interest Rate Swap Agreements

In October 2024, we entered into €685.0 million aggregate notional principal amount of Euro interest rate swap agreements to manage a portion of our exposure to interest rate fluctuations for our Euro term loans under the Credit Agreement, which mature as follows: €35.0 million in October 2026, €70.0 million in October 2027 and €580.0 million in October 2030. These agreements have a weighted average fixed rate of 2.43 percent and were entered into with financial institutions which are expected to fully perform under the terms thereof.

Amendment to Bank Credit Agreement

On November 4, 2024, we and certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries amended the Credit Agreement by entering into a Fifth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”) with the Lenders therein and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent. The Fifth Amendment:

•refinanced outstanding term loans and revolving loans thereunder and extended the maturity dates to (i) November 4, 2029 with respect to revolving loans and (ii) November 4, 2030 with respect to term loans;

-17-

used to fund a portion of the purchase price for Weener and to pay fees, expenses and costs associated with the Fifth Amendment.

•removed the springing maturity date provisions that would have shortened the maturity dates under the Credit Agreement to the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity dates of the 3¼% Senior Notes and 1.4% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 (unless such notes were refinanced or repaid prior thereto);

•improved the interest rate margin grid for term loans;

•increased the uncommitted multi-currency incremental loan facility from $1.25 billion to $1.5 billion;

•amended certain covenants to provide additional flexibility; and

•amended certain other terms of the Credit Agreement.

Pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, U.S. term loans are repayable in installments as follows: $8.5 million on December 31, 2025, $42.5 million on December 31, 2026, $85.0 million on each of December 31, 2027, 2028 and 2029 and $544.0 million on November 4, 2030, and Euro term loans are repayable in installments as follows: €9.0 million on December 31, 2025, €45.0 million on December 31, 2026, €90.0 million on each of December 31, 2027, 2028 and 2029 and €576.0 million on November 4, 2030.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Statements included in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements are made based upon management’s expectations and beliefs concerning future events impacting us and therefore involve a number of uncertainties and risks, including, but not limited to, those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result, the actual results of our operations or our financial condition could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements.

General

We are a leading manufacturer and supplier of sustainable rigid packaging solutions for the world's essential consumer goods products. We currently produce dispensing and specialty closures for the fragrance and beauty, food, beverage, personal and health care, home care and lawn and garden markets; steel and aluminum containers for pet and human food and general line products; and custom designed plastic containers for the pet and human food, consumer health and pharmaceutical, personal care, home care, lawn and garden and automotive markets. We are a leading worldwide manufacturer of dispensing and specialty closures, a leading manufacturer of metal containers in North America and Europe, and a leading manufacturer of custom containers in North America for a variety of markets.

Our objective is to increase shareholder value by efficiently deploying capital and management resources to grow our business, reduce operating costs and build sustainable competitive positions, or franchises, and to complete acquisitions that generate attractive cash returns. We have grown our net sales and income from operations largely through acquisitions but also through internal growth, and we continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities in the consumer goods packaging market. If acquisition opportunities are not identified over a longer period of time, we may use our cash flow to repay debt, repurchase shares of our common stock or increase dividends to our stockholders or for other permitted purposes.

Net Sales. In the third quarter of 2024, consolidated net sales were $1.75 billion, a decrease of $58.0 million, or 3.2 percent, as compared to the third quarter of 2023 primarily due to the unfavorable impact from the pass through of lower raw material costs in the dispensing and specialty closures and metal containers segments, a less favorable mix of products sold in the metal containers segment and lower volumes in the dispensing and specialty closures segment. These decreases were partially offset by higher volumes in the metal containers and custom containers segments, a more favorable mix of products sold in the dispensing and specialty closures segment and the pass through of higher raw material costs in the custom containers segment.

In the first nine months of 2024, consolidated net sales were $4.4 billion, a decrease of $204.6 million, or 4.4 percent, as compared to the first nine months of 2023 primarily due to the unfavorable impact from the pass through of lower raw material

costs in the dispensing and specialty closures and metal containers segments, lower volumes in the dispensing and specialty closures segment and a less favorable mix of products sold in the metal containers and custom containers segments. These decreases were partially offset by a more favorable mix of products sold in the dispensing and specialty closures segment, higher volumes and the pass through of higher raw material costs in the custom containers segment and the impact from favorable foreign currency translation.

Gross Profit. Gross profit margin increased 0.9 percentage points to 16.8 percent in the third quarter of 2024 and increased 0.7 percentage points to 17.4 percent in the first nine months of 2024 as compared to the same periods in 2023 primarily for the reasons discussed below in "Income before Interest and Income Taxes."

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. In the third quarter of 2024, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of consolidated net sales increased to 6.1 percent as compared to 4.7 percent in the third quarter of 2023. For the third quarter of 2024, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $22.1 million to $106.4 million as compared to the third quarter of 2023. In the first nine months of 2024, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of consolidated net sales increased to 7.1 percent as compared to 6.2 percent in the first nine months of 2023. In the first nine months of 2024, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $26.8 million to $314.6 million as compared to the first nine months of 2023. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2024 was primarily due to $7.1 million and $12.6 million, respectively, of costs attributed to announced acquisitions and insurance proceeds received in the prior year periods.

Income before Interest and Income Taxes. In the third quarter of 2024, income before interest and income taxes decreased by $26.8 million to $167.3 million as compared to $194.1 million in the third quarter of 2023, and margins decreased to 9.6 percent from 10.7 percent over the same periods. The decrease in income before interest and income taxes was primarily the result of higher selling, general and administrative costs, higher rationalization charges, a less favorable mix of products sold in the metal containers segment, and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency and lower volumes in the dispensing and specialty closures segment, partially offset by improved manufacturing productivity and cost performance in the dispensing and specialty closures segment, a more favorable mix of products sold in the dispensing and specialty closures and custom containers segments and higher volumes in the metal containers and custom containers segments. Rationalization charges were $19.5 million and $6.4 million in the third quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively.

In the first nine months of 2024, income before interest and income taxes decreased by $48.4 million to $420.9 million as compared to $469.3 million in the first nine months of 2023, and margins decreased to 9.5 percent from 10.1 percent over the same periods. The decrease in income before interest and income taxes was primarily the result of the unfavorable impact of lower fixed cost absorption in the metal containers segment as a result of a significantly lower inventory build in the current year period due to a reduction in pack plans of a large fruit and vegetable customer to reduce its working capital, higher rationalization charges, higher selling, general and administrative costs, the unfavorable impact in the metal containers segment of the sale of higher cost metal inventory from the prior year due to lower metal costs in 2024 in the European operations, a less favorable mix of products sold in the metal containers segment and lower volumes in the dispensing and specialty closures segment, partially offset by improved manufacturing productivity and cost performance in the dispensing and specialty closures segment, a more favorable mix of products sold in the dispensing and specialty closures and custom containers segments and higher volumes in the custom containers segment. Rationalization charges were $38.0 million and $13.2 million in the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Interest and Other Debt Expense. In the third quarter of 2024, interest and other debt expense decreased $5.4 million to $41.9 million as compared to $47.3 million in the third quarter of 2023. In the first nine months of 2024, interest and other debt expense decreased $8.9 million to $121.9 million as compared to $130.8 million in the first nine months of 2023. The decrease in the third quarter of 2024 was primarily due to lower average borrowings during the current year period, partially offset by the impact of higher weighted average interest rates. The decrease in the first nine months of 2024 was primarily due to lower average borrowings during the current year period and the write-off in the prior year period of $3.5 million of accrued interest income associated with a historical acquisition tax indemnity, partially offset by the impact of higher weighted average interest rates.

Provision for Income Taxes. For the third quarters of 2024 and 2023, the effective tax rates were 20.2 percent and 24.7 percent, respectively. For the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, the effective tax rates were 22.6 percent and 22.7 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2024 was favorably impacted by the reversal of tax reserves due to the expiration of statutes of limitation. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2023 was favorably impacted by the reversal of tax reserves associated with a historical acquisition indemnity which unfavorably impacted corporate and interest expense in such period.

Non-GAAP Measures

Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States are commonly referred to as GAAP. A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined as a financial measure that purports to measure financial performance, financial position or liquidity but excludes or includes amounts that could not be so adjusted in the most comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted EBIT and adjusted EBIT margin are unaudited supplemental measures of financial performance that the Company uses, which are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP and therefore are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to income before interest and income taxes or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any financial data prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company uses such non-GAAP financial measures because it considers them to be important and useful supplemental measures of its and its segments’ financial performance which provide a more complete understanding of the Company and its segments than could be obtained absent such non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that it is important and useful to present these non-GAAP financial measures because they allow for a better period-over-period comparison of results by removing the impact of items that, in management’s view, do not reflect the Company’s or its segments’ core operating performance. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to review and analyze the operating performance of the Company and its segments. Investors and others are urged to review and consider carefully the adjustments made by management to the most comparable GAAP financial measure to arrive at these non-GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted EBIT, a non-GAAP financial measure, means income before interest and income taxes excluding, as applicable, acquired intangible asset amortization expense, other pension (income) expense for U.S. pension plans, rationalization charges and costs attributed to announced acquisitions. Adjusted EBIT margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, means adjusted EBIT divided by segment net sales.

Acquired intangible asset amortization expense is a non-cash expense related to acquired operations that management believes is not indicative of the on-going performance of the acquired operations. Since the Company’s U.S. pension plans are significantly over funded and have no required cash contributions for the foreseeable future based on current regulations, management views other pension (income) expense from the Company’s U.S. pension plans, which excludes service costs, as not reflective of the operational performance of the Company or its segments. While rationalization costs are incurred on a regular basis, management views these costs more as an investment to generate savings rather than period costs. Costs attributed to announced acquisitions consist of third party fees and expenses that are viewed by management as part of the acquisition and not indicative of the on-going cost structure of the Company.

In the third quarter of 2024, net sales for the dispensing and specialty closures segment increased $4.6 million, or 0.8 percent, as compared to the third quarter of 2023. This increase was primarily the result of a more favorable mix of products sold, partially offset by lower unit volumes of approximately one percent, the pass through of lower raw material costs and the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $2.0 million. Higher volumes for dispensing products were offset by lower volumes for beverage products.

In the first nine months of 2024, net sales for the dispensing and specialty closures segment decreased $34.1 million, or 2.0 percent, as compared to the first nine months of 2023. This decrease was primarily the result of lower unit volumes of approximately two percent, the pass through of lower raw material costs and the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $1.0 million, partially offset by a more favorable mix of products sold. The decrease in unit volumes was principally the result of lower volumes for closures for food and beverage markets primarily due to customer destocking priorities.

In the third quarter of 2024, adjusted EBIT of the dispensing and specialty closures segment increased $1.4 million as compared to the third quarter of 2023, and adjusted EBIT margin increased to 16.9 percent from 16.8 percent over the same periods. The increase in adjusted EBIT was primarily due to improved manufacturing productivity and cost performance and a more favorable mix of products sold, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency and lower unit volumes.

In the first nine months of 2024, adjusted EBIT of the dispensing and specialty closures segment increased $12.2 million as compared to the first nine months of 2023, and adjusted EBIT margin increased to 16.0 percent from 14.9 percent over the same periods. The increase in adjusted EBIT was primarily due to improved manufacturing productivity and cost performance and a more favorable mix of products sold, partially offset by lower unit volumes.

In the third quarter of 2024, net sales for the metal containers segment decreased $72.0 million, or 6.6 percent, as compared to the third quarter of 2023. This decrease was primarily the result of the contractual pass through of lower raw material costs as compared to the lagged contractual pass through of inflation in labor and other manufacturing costs in the prior year period and a significantly less favorable mix of products sold, partially offset by higher unit volumes of approximately two percent and the impact of favorable foreign currency translation of approximately $2.0 million. Higher volumes for the pet food markets were partially offset by lower volumes for fruit and vegetable markets which were negatively impacted by a planned reduction in volumes by a large pack customer to reduce its working capital and severe weather that prematurely ended the fruit and vegetable packs.

In the first nine months of 2024, net sales for the metal containers segment decreased $185.1 million, or 7.5 percent, as compared to the first nine months of 2023. This decrease was primarily the result of the contractual pass through of lower raw material costs as compared to the lagged contractual pass through of inflation in labor and other manufacturing costs in the prior year period and a less favorable mix of products sold, partially offset by the impact of favorable foreign currency translation of approximately $4.0 million.

In the third quarter of 2024, adjusted EBIT of the metal containers segment decreased $16.4 million as compared to the third quarter of 2023, and adjusted EBIT margin decreased to 9.5 percent from 10.4 percent for the same periods. The decrease in adjusted EBIT was primarily due to a significantly less favorable mix of products sold due to lower unit volumes for fruit and vegetable markets and higher selling, general and administrative costs, partially offset by higher unit volumes for pet food markets.

In the first nine months of 2024, adjusted EBIT of the metal containers segment decreased $41.2 million as compared to the first nine months of 2023, and adjusted EBIT margin decreased to 8.8 percent from 9.8 percent for the same periods. The decrease in adjusted EBIT was primarily due to the unfavorable impact of lower fixed cost absorption as a result of a significantly lower inventory build in the current year period due to a reduction in pack plans of a large fruit and vegetable customer to reduce its working capital, the unfavorable impact of selling higher cost inventory from the prior year in our European operations due to lower metal costs in 2024, a significantly less favorable mix of products sold and higher selling, general and administrative costs.

In the third quarter of 2024, net sales for the custom containers segment increased $9.4 million, or 6.3 percent, as compared to the third quarter of 2023. This increase was principally due to higher volumes of approximately five percent primarily driven by the commercialization of new business awards and the pass through of higher raw material costs, partially offset by the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $1.0 million.

In the first nine months of 2024, net sales for the custom containers segment increased $14.6 million, or 3.1 percent, as compared to the first nine months of 2023. This increase was principally due to higher volumes of approximately three percent primarily as a result of the commercialization of new business awards and the pass through of higher raw material costs, partially offset by a less favorable mix of products sold and the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $1.0 million.

In the third quarter of 2024, adjusted EBIT of the custom containers segment increased $8.2 million as compared to the third quarter of 2023, and adjusted EBIT margin increased to 12.6 percent from 7.9 percent over the same periods. The increase in adjusted EBIT was primarily attributable to a more favorable mix of products sold and higher volumes.

In the first nine months of 2024, adjusted EBIT of the custom containers segment increased $12.4 million as compared to the first nine months of 2023, and adjusted EBIT margin increased to 12.8 percent from 10.6 percent over the same periods. The increase in adjusted EBIT was primarily attributable to a more favorable mix of products sold and higher volumes.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Our principal sources of liquidity have been net cash from operating activities and borrowings under our debt instruments, including our senior secured credit facility. Our liquidity requirements arise from our obligations under the indebtedness incurred in connection with our acquisitions and the refinancing of that indebtedness, capital investment in new and existing equipment, the funding of our seasonal working capital needs and other general corporate uses.

On October 15, 2024, we acquired Weener, a leading producer of differentiated dispensing solutions for personal care, food and healthcare products. Weener operates a global network of 19 facilities predominantly in Europe and the Americas, with approximately 4,000 employees and proprietary manufacturing technologies including significant clean room capabilities. The purchase price for this acquisition of approximately $920.0 million, net of cash acquired, was funded with term and revolving loan borrowings under the Credit Agreement, including a new €700.0 million incremental term loan, and cash on hand.

On November 4, 2024, we and certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries entered into the Fifth Amendment with the Lenders therein and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent. The Fifth Amendment:

-26-

•increased the aggregate amount of Euro term loans thereunder from €700.0 million to €900.0 million, with the additional €200.0 million of Euro term loans being used to repay revolving loans under the Credit Agreement that were used to fund a portion of the purchase price for Weener and to pay fees, expenses and costs associated with the Fifth Amendment.

•improved the interest rate margin grid for term loans;

•increased the uncommitted multi-currency incremental loan facility from $1.25 billion to $1.5 billion;

•amended certain covenants to provide additional flexibility; and

•amended certain other terms of the Credit Agreement.

Pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, total term loans of $1,854.4 million are repayable as follows: $18.5 million in 2025, $92.7 million in 2026, $185.4 million in each of 2027, 2028 and 2029, and $1,187.0 million in 2030 (non-U.S. dollar debt has been translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date).

As a result of the Fifth Amendment, we expect to record a pre-tax charge of approximately $0.9 million for the loss on early extinguishment of debt during the quarter ending December 31, 2024.

You should also read Note 15 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 included elsewhere in this quarterly report.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we used net borrowings of revolving loans of $491.6 million and cash and cash equivalents of $274.4 million to fund cash used in operations of $213.9 million, decreases in outstanding checks of $160.6 million, the repayment of long-term debt of $100.0 million, net capital expenditures and other investing activities of $189.1 million, dividends paid on our common stock of $61.8 million, the repayment of principal amounts under finance leases of $27.3 million, repurchases of our common stock of $7.7 million and the negative effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents of $5.6 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we used net borrowings of revolving loans and proceeds from other foreign long-term debt of an aggregate of $847.5 million and cash and cash equivalents of $278.5 million (including the positive effect of exchange rate changes of $0.5 million) to fund cash used in operations of $596.0 million, repurchases of our common stock of $183.9 million, net capital expenditures and other investing activities of $170.6 million, decreases in outstanding checks of $61.4 million, dividends paid on our common stock of $59.7 million, the repayment of long-term debt of $52.7 million and the repayment of principal amounts under finance leases of $2.2 million.

At September 30, 2024, we had $505.0 million of revolving loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement. After taking into account outstanding letters of credit, the available portion of revolving loans under the Credit Agreement at September 30, 2024 was $974.4 million.

Because we sell metal containers and closures used in fruit and vegetable pack processing, we have seasonal sales. As is common in the industry, we must utilize working capital to build inventory and then carry accounts receivable for some customers beyond the end of the packing season. Due to our seasonal requirements, which generally peak sometime in the summer or early fall, we may incur short-term indebtedness to finance our working capital requirements. Our peak seasonal working capital requirements have historically averaged approximately $375 million. We fund seasonal working capital requirements through revolving loans under the Credit Agreement, other foreign bank loans and cash on hand. We may use the available portion of revolving loans under the Credit Agreement, after taking into account our seasonal needs and outstanding letters of credit, for other general corporate purposes including acquisitions, capital expenditures, dividends, stock repurchases and to refinance or repurchase other debt.

We believe that cash generated from operations and funds from borrowings available under the Credit Agreement and other foreign bank loans will be sufficient to meet our expected operating needs, planned capital expenditures, debt service, tax obligations, pension benefit plan contributions, share repurchases and common stock dividends for the foreseeable future. We continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities in the consumer goods packaging market and may incur additional indebtedness, including indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, to finance any such acquisition.

We are in compliance with all financial and operating covenants contained in our financing agreements and believe that we will continue to be in compliance during 2024 with all of these covenants.

Supply Chain Finance Program

For our suppliers, we believe that we negotiate the best terms possible, including payment terms. In connection therewith, we initiated a SCF program with a major global financial institution. Under this SCF program, a qualifying supplier may elect, but is not obligated, to sell its receivables from us to such financial institution. A participating supplier negotiates its receivables sale arrangements directly with the financial institution under this SCF program. While we are not party to, and do not participate in the negotiation of, such arrangements, such financial institution allows a participating supplier to utilize our creditworthiness in establishing a credit spread in respect of the sale of its receivables from us as well as other applicable terms. This may provide a supplier with more favorable terms than it would be able to secure on its own. We have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to sell a receivable. Once a qualifying supplier elects to participate in this SCF program and reaches an agreement with the financial institution, the supplier independently elects which individual invoices to us that they sell to the financial institution. All of our payments to a participating supplier are paid to the financial institution on the invoice due date under our agreement with such supplier, regardless of whether the individual invoice was sold by the supplier to the financial institution. The financial institution then pays the supplier on the invoice due date under our agreement with such supplier for any invoices not previously sold by the supplier to the financial institution. Amounts due to a supplier that elects to participate in this SCF program are included in accounts payable in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, and the associated payments are reflected in net cash provided by operating activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Separate from this SCF program, we and suppliers who participate in this SCF program generally maintain the contractual right to require the other party to negotiate in good faith the existing payment terms as a result of changes in market conditions, including changes in interest rates and general market liquidity, or in some cases for any reason. Outstanding trade accounts payables subject to this SCF program were approximately $284.2 million, $294.1 million and $330.2 million at September 30, 2024 and 2023 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Guaranteed Securities

Each of the 3¼% Senior Notes, the 4⅛% Senior Notes, the 2¼% Senior Notes and the 1.4% Senior Secured Notes were issued by Silgan and are guaranteed by our U.S. subsidiaries that also guarantee our obligations under the Credit Agreement, collectively the Obligor Group.

The following summarized financial information relates to the Obligor Group as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Intercompany transactions, equity investments and other intercompany activity within the Obligor Group have been eliminated from the summarized financial information. Investments in subsidiaries of Silgan that are not part of the Obligor Group of $1.7 billion and $1.6 billion as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, are not included in noncurrent assets in the table below.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Obligor Group did not receive dividends from other subsidiary companies.

Rationalization Charges

We continually evaluate cost reduction opportunities across each of our segments, including rationalizations of our existing facilities through plant closings and downsizings. We use a disciplined approach to identify opportunities that generate attractive cash returns. Under our rationalization plans, we made cash payments of $31.2 million and $8.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Excluding the impact of our withdrawal from the Central States Pension Plan in 2019, remaining expenses and cash expenditures for our rationalization plans are expected to be $6.9 million and $9.5 million, respectively. Remaining expenses for the accretion of interest for the withdrawal liability related to the Central States Pension Plan are expected to average approximately $0.8 million per year and be recognized annually through 2040, and remaining cash expenditures for the withdrawal liability related to the Central States Pension Plan are expected to be approximately $2.6 million annually through 2040.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risks relating to our operations result primarily from changes in interest rates and, with respect to our international operations, in foreign currency exchange rates. In the normal course of business, we also have risk related to commodity price changes for items such as natural gas. We employ established policies and procedures to manage our exposure to these risks. Interest rate, foreign currency and commodity pricing transactions are used only to the extent considered necessary to meet our objectives. We do not utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

Information regarding our interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity pricing risk has been disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Since such filing, other than the changes discussed in Notes 7 and 15 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, there has not been a material change to our interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity pricing risk or to our policies and procedures to manage our exposure to these risks.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As required by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, these internal controls.
