Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s Statement
RockTenn Chairman and Chief Executive Officer James A. Rubright stated, “RockTenn delivered another quarter of strong earnings growth over the prior year quarter as adjusted earnings increased 34%. Our free cash flow continued to be strong, and our net debt repayment and dividends totaled $7.81 per share in fiscal 2009 as we capitalized on the low cost positions we have developed in all of our businesses. We expect to continue to generate strong cash flow in fiscal 2010 as we expect input costs to remain relatively stable, and demand for containerboard and bleached paperboard to improve.”
Segment Results
Paperboard and Containerboard Tons Shipped and Average Price
Total tons shipped in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 decreased by 15,647 tons over the prior year quarter and increased on a sequential quarter basis by 48,398 tons. The average selling price for all paperboard and containerboard grades decreased $28 per ton from the prior year quarter and decreased $7 per ton on a sequential quarter basis.
Consumer Packaging Segment
Consumer Packaging segment net sales increased 0.3% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to the prior year quarter, due to higher folding carton volumes partially offset by lower paperboard volumes. Segment income increased $43.9 million over the prior year quarter to $74.6 million due primarily to $21.4 million of alternative fuel tax credit, lower recycled fiber and energy costs and greater income contributed from our folding carton business.
Corrugated Packaging Segment
Corrugated Packaging segment net sales decreased $38.5 million to $186.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to the prior year quarter, due to lower volumes. Segment income was $37.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 and segment return on sales was 19.9%.
Merchandising Displays Segment
Merchandising Displays segment net sales decreased $5.2 million over the prior year fourth quarter. Segment income was $9.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 and $11.7 million in the prior year quarter.
Specialty Paperboard Products Segment
Specialty Paperboard Products segment net sales decreased $15.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to decreased volumes and lower recycled fiber prices. Segment income was $8.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 and $8.5 million in the prior year quarter.
Cash Provided By Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 was $117.3 million compared to $83.9 million in the prior year quarter. Cash from operations was reduced by the voluntary contribution of $16 million to our pension plans in the quarter, bringing our total contributions in the fiscal year to $40 million.
Financing and Investing Activities
We reduced net debt by $78.3 million in the quarter and $286.5 million in the twelve months ended September 30, 2009. Our Credit Agreement Debt/EBITDA ratio was 2.36 times at September 30, 2009. On August 14, 2009 we amended our receivables-backed financing facility to increase the facility to $135 million. The amended facility continues to expire on July 13, 2012.
Conference Call
We will host a conference call to discuss our results of operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 and other topics that may be raised during the discussion at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on November 4, 2009.

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