$.57 , compared with$.76 in 2011. - Third quarter 2012 GAAP results include a
$.02 per diluted share net benefit stemming from gains on the sale of previously closed facilities and insurance recoveries, partially offset by charges related to previously announced restructuring activities. Third quarter 2011 GAAP results included a$.10 per diluted share gain from a net release of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, partially offset by restructuring charges and acquisition expenses. - Base net income attributable to Sonoco (base earnings) for third quarter 2012 was
$.55 per diluted share, compared with$.66 in 2011. (See base earnings definition and reconciliation later in this release.) Sonoco previously provided reduced third quarter base earnings guidance of$.51 to $.53 per diluted share. - Third quarter 2012 net sales were a record
$1.20 billion , up 6 percent, compared with$1.12 billion in 2011. - Third quarter 2012 cash flow from operations increased to

$2.17 to $2.21 per diluted share. - 2012 free cash flow estimates are raised to
$90 million from the previous estimate of$70 million . (Free cash flow is cash flow from operations minus net capital expenditures and dividends.)
Third Quarter Review
Commenting on the Company's third quarter results, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
"We are encouraged that gross profits increased 10 percent over last year's third quarter and that base earnings per diluted share came in better than the high end of our revised guidance issued in September. This improvement from our previous expectations was a result of slightly better operating performance, reduced incentive accruals and a lower effective tax rate.
"In our Paper and Industrial Converted Products segment, third quarter operating profits declined 13 percent due primarily to temporary operating problems experienced at several of our North American paperboard mills which resulted in greater than expected downtime and higher maintenance, freight and related expenses. Also negatively impacting year-over-year segment results for the quarter were higher pension and labor expenses, a slightly negative mix of business and a stronger dollar. These factors were partially offset by a positive price/cost relationship and modest gains made in productivity despite the unexpected downtime. Volume was up for the quarter, as narrow declines in global tubes and cores volume was offset by improved volume in our paper, reels and recycling operations.
"Our Consumer Packaging segment's operating profits declined 16 percent in the quarter due to lower volumes across most of our packaging businesses along with a negative mix of business and higher labor, pension and other costs. These negative factors were partially offset by a positive price/cost relationship and productivity improvements. Operating profits from our Packaging Services segment improved 6 percent during the quarter due primarily to improved volume in international packaging fulfillment activity, which was partially offset by the impact of a stronger dollar.
"Operating profits in our Protective Packaging segment were up 216 percent year over year reflecting last year's acquisition of

Full-Year 2012 Outlook
Sonoco expects 2012 annual base earnings to be in the range of
The Company's revised base earnings guidance assumes sales demand will remain near current levels, adjusted for seasonality. Although the Company believes the assumptions reflected in the range of guidance are reasonable, given the uncertainty regarding the global economy and fluctuating raw material prices and other costs, actual results could vary substantially.
Commenting on the Company's outlook, DeLoach said, "While we are projecting year-over-year improvement in base earnings in the fourth quarter, global economic conditions remain weak and our customers appear to be placing orders that only reflect their known demand. Overall, we do not expect any meaningful volume changes in our Industrial, Consumer and Protective Packaging businesses, beyond expected seasonality. However, due to the operational difficulties we experienced in our paper mills in the third quarter, which have since been resolved, we enter the fourth quarter with extremely tight uncoated recycled board inventories and plan to run our mill system full for the remainder of the year, except for scheduled downtime, such as holidays. In addition, we are continuing to implement contingency plans to further reduce costs in all of our businesses."
"Despite the current economic uncertainty, Sonoco is well positioned to take advantage of any improvement in business conditions. We continue to maintain a strong financial position and generate strong operating cash flow which we are investing to optimize the profitability of our businesses, further reduce debt and provide solid cash dividends to our shareholders – as we have for 350 consecutive quarters over 87 years."
Segment Review
The Company reports its financial results in four operating segments: Consumer Packaging, Paper and Industrial Converted Products, Packaging Services and Protective Packaging. Segment operating results do not include restructuring and asset impairment charges, acquisition expenses, interest income and expense, income taxes or certain other items, if any, the exclusion of which the Company believes improves comparability and analysis.
Consumer Packaging
Sonoco's Consumer Packaging segment includes the following products and services: round and shaped rigid containers and trays (both composite and thermoformed plastic); blow-molded plastic bottles and jars; extruded and injection-molded plastic products; printed flexible packaging; metal and peelable membrane ends and closures; and global brand artwork management.
Third quarter 2012 sales for the segment were
Year-over-year sales declined in the quarter due primarily to lower volumes in the Company's global composite can, flexible packaging and rigid plastics businesses along with the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation and lower sales prices. Operating profit in the segment declined 16 percent year over year as productivity improvements and a positive price/cost relationship were unable to offset negative volume and mix changes along with higher pension, labor and other expenses.
Paper and Industrial Converted Products
The Paper and Industrial Converted Products segment includes the following products: high-performance paper and composite paperboard tubes and cores; fiber-based construction tubes and forms; wooden, metal and composite wire and cable reels and spools; and recycled paperboard, linerboard, corrugating medium, recovered paper and other recycled materials.
Third quarter 2012 sales for the segment were
The 6 percent year-over-year decline in third quarter sales was primarily due to the negative impact of foreign currency translation and lower recovered paper prices in the Company's recycling operations. Operating profits declined by 13 percent year over year due to temporary operating problems experienced at several of our North American paperboard mills, higher pension, labor, freight and other costs and the negative impact of exchange rates. These negative factors were partially offset by a positive price/cost relationship and modest productivity improvements.
Packaging Services
The Packaging Services segment includes the following products and services: designing, manufacturing, assembling, packing and distributing temporary, semipermanent and permanent point-of-purchase displays; supply chain management services, including contract packing, fulfillment and scalable service centers; and paper amenities, such as coasters and glass covers.
Third quarter 2012 sales for this segment were
Sales increased 10 percent from last year's third quarter due to volume growth, primarily in international packaging fulfillment activities. This improvement was partially offset by the negative impact of foreign currency translation. Operating profit for the segment increased 6 percent year over year due primarily to improved volumes associated with international packaging fulfillment activities, partially offset by a negative mix of business and the impact of a strong dollar.
Protective Packaging
The Protective Packaging segment includes the following products: custom-engineered, paperboard-based and expanded foam protective packaging; temperature-assurance packaging; and retail security packaging.
Third quarter 2012 sales were
The significant year-over-year growth in this segment's sales and operating profits was due to the 2011 acquisition of Tegrant. Sales from the Company's legacy protective packaging business were essentially flat year over year as improved volume offset lower selling prices. The year-over-year increase in segment operating profits reflects the impact of the Tegrant acquisition, which added

Definition and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company's results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) are referred to as "as reported" or "GAAP" results. Some of the information presented in this press release reflects the Company's "as reported" or "GAAP" results adjusted to exclude amounts related to restructuring initiatives, asset impairment charges, environmental charges, acquisition costs, excess insurance recoveries, losses from the early extinguishment of debt, and certain other items, if any, the exclusion of which management believes improves comparability and analysis of the underlying financial performance of the business. These adjustments result in the non-GAAP financial measures referred to in this press release as "Base Earnings" and "Base Earnings per Diluted Share."
These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Sonoco continues to provide all information required by GAAP, but it believes that evaluating its ongoing operating results may not be as useful if an investor or other user is limited to reviewing only GAAP financial measures. Sonoco uses these non-GAAP financial measures for internal planning and forecasting purposes, to evaluate its ongoing operations, and to evaluate the ultimate performance of each business unit against budget all the way up through the evaluation of the Chief Executive Officer's performance by the Board of Directors. In addition, these same non-GAAP measures are used in determining incentive compensation for the entire management team and in providing earnings guidance to the investing community.
Sonoco management does not, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Sonoco presents these non-GAAP financial measures to provide users information to evaluate Sonoco's operating results in a manner similar to how management evaluates business performance. Material limitations associated with the use of such measures are that they do not reflect all period costs included in operating expenses and may not reflect financial results that are comparable to financial results of other companies that present similar costs differently. Furthermore, the calculations of these non-GAAP measures are based on subjective determinations of management regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances that the investor may find material and view differently.
To compensate for these limitations, management believes that it is useful in understanding and analyzing the results of the business to review both GAAP information which includes all of the items impacting financial results and the non-GAAP measures that exclude certain elements, as described above. Whenever Sonoco uses a non-GAAP financial measure, it provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure. Whenever reviewing a non-GAAP financial measure, investors are encouraged to fully review and consider the related reconciliation as detailed below.

(1) Restructuring/Asset impairment charges are a recurring item as Sonoco's restructuring programs usually require several years to fully implement and the Company is continually seeking to take actions that could enhance its efficiency. Although recurring, these charges are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period due to the varying levels of restructuring activity and the inherent imprecision in the estimates used to recognize the impairment of assets and the wide variety of costs and taxes associated with severance and termination benefits in the countries in which the restructuring actions occur.
