Packaging Corporation of America Reports First Quarter 2023 Results

Packaging Corporation of America (NYSE: PKG) today reported first quarter 2023 net income of $190 million, or $2.11 per share, and net income of $198 million, or $2.20 per share, excluding special items. First quarter net sales were $2.0 billion in 2023 and $2.1 billion in 2022.

Reported earnings in the first quarter of 2023 include special items primarily for closure costs related to corrugated products facilities and design centers.

Excluding special items, the ($.52) per share decrease in first quarter 2023 earnings compared to the first quarter of 2022 was driven primarily by lower volumes in the Packaging ($.95) and Paper ($.04) segments, higher operating costs ($.27), higher depreciation expense ($.11), higher freight and logistics expenses ($.04), higher non-operating pension expense ($.04), and higher converting costs ($.02). These items were partially offset by higher prices and mix in the Packaging $.58 and Paper $.18 segments, a lower share count resulting from share repurchases in the second half of 2022 $.11, lower interest expense $.03, lower other expenses $.03, lower scheduled maintenance outage expenses $.01, and a lower tax rate $.01.

Tosaf, Inc., a leading global developer and manufacturer of additives, compounds, and color and white masterbatches for the plastics industry, today announced the completion of additional capital investments in its Bessemer City, N.C. plant. The latest commitment of $2 million for a silo system and additional extruders brings the company’s total investment in the facility to more than $20 million. The silos were installed to take advantage of a rail spur that serves the plant. Built in 2016, the facility was designed to accommodate the silo system retrofit, a major part of the enhancements that advance its efficiency and cost-effectiveness. “We now have the needed infrastructure to receive raw materials via rail, which reduces labor and packaging required in our manufacturing processes,” said Tosaf General Manager Chai Tsadaka. “The silos and enhanced production capabilities allow us to better meet short lead times for our rapidly growing customer base. Unlike others, we provide a seven working day or less production order response time.”
