Introductory Note

In this quarterly report, references to “we,” “us,” “our” or the "RGHL Group" are to Reynolds Group Holdings Limited ("RGHL") and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated.

Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements, including certain financial statement notes, is not required for interim reporting purposes and has been condensed or omitted in this quarterly report. Our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 27, 2014 (the "Annual Report") also includes certain other information about our business, including risk factors and more detailed descriptions of our businesses, which is not included in this quarterly report. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report, including the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included therein. A copy of the Annual Report, including the exhibits thereto, may be read and copied at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Room 1580, Washington, D.C. 20549. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. In addition, the SEC maintains an internet site at http://www.sec.gov, from which interested persons can electronically access the Annual Report. The Annual Report can also be found at www.reynoldsgroupholdings.com, or a copy will be provided free of charge upon written request to Mr. Joseph Doyle, RGHL Group Legal Counsel, 1900 West Field Court, Lake Forest, Illinois, 60045.

We have prepared this quarterly report pursuant to (i) the requirements of the indentures that govern our senior secured notes (collectively, the "Reynolds Senior Secured Notes") and our senior notes (collectively, the "Reynolds Senior Notes") that are covered by an effective registration statement as described below and the 2013 Notes as defined below and (ii) the credit agreement with our lenders governing our senior secured credit facilities (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). Our outstanding notes include:

Notes covered by an effective registration statement filed with the SEC (collectively, the “Reynolds Notes”), comprised of:

The September 2012 5.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2020

The February 2012 9.875% Senior Notes due 2019

The August 2011 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 and the 9.875% Senior Notes due 2019

The February 2011 6.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2021 and the 8.250% Senior Notes due 2021

The October 2010 7.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 and the 9.000% Senior Notes due 2019

The May 2010 8.500% Senior Notes due 2018

Notes not covered by an effective registration statement filed with the SEC (collectively, the "2013 Notes"), comprised of:

The November 2013 5.625% Senior Notes due 2016 (the "2013 Senior Notes") and the December 2013 6.000% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017 (the "2013 Senior Subordinated Notes")

The indentures governing certain of our outstanding notes also require us to provide certain information for Beverage Packaging Holdings Group ("Bev Pack"), comprised of Beverage Packaging Holdings (Luxembourg) I S.A. ("BP I") and its consolidated subsidiaries and Beverage Packaging Holdings (Luxembourg) II S.A. ("BP II"), subsidiaries of RGHL. These indentures, as well as the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, are described more fully in our Annual Report. Additionally, refer to note 12 of the RGHL Group's interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report for more information.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this quarterly report, we utilize certain non-GAAP financial measures and ratios, including earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA, each with the meanings and as calculated as set forth in “Part I - Financial Information — Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Results of Operations.” These measures are presented because we believe that they and similar measures are widely used in the markets in which we operate as a means of evaluating a company’s operating performance and financing structure and, in certain cases, because those measures are used to determine compliance with covenants in our debt agreements and compensation of certain management.They may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and are not measurements under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB"), generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP"), or other generally accepted accounting principles, nor should they be considered as substitutes for the information contained in our historical financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS included in this quarterly report. For additional information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures used by management, refer to note 4 of the RGHL Group's interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report.

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report includes forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding our goals, beliefs, plans or current expectations, taking into account the information currently available to our management. Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact. For example, when we use words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “plan,” “intend,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “may,” "might," “will” or other words that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes, we are making forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our management's current view with respect to future events and financial performance and future business and economic conditions more generally. These views reflect the best judgment of our management, but involve a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted in our forward-looking statements and from past results, performance or achievements. Although we believe that the estimates and the projections reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable,

5



such estimates and projections may prove to be incorrect, and our actual results may differ from those described in our forward-looking statements as a result of the following risks, uncertainties and assumptions, among others:

risks related to the future costs of raw materials, energy and freight;

risks related to economic downturns in our target markets;

risks related to changes in consumer lifestyle, eating habits, nutritional preferences and health-related and environmental concerns that may harm our business and financial performance;

risks related to complying with environmental, health and safety laws or as a result of satisfying any liability or obligation imposed under such laws;

risks related to the impact of a loss of any of our key manufacturing facilities;

risks related to our exposure to environmental liabilities and potential changes in legislation or regulation;

risks related to our dependence on key management and other highly skilled personnel;

risks related to the consolidation of our customer bases, competition and pricing pressure;

risks related to exchange rate fluctuations;

risks related to dependence on the protection of our intellectual property and the development of new products;

risks related to our pension plans;

risks related to acquisitions, including completed and future acquisitions, such as the risks that we may be unable to complete an acquisition in the timeframe anticipated, on its original terms, or at all, or that we may not be able to achieve some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve from such acquisitions, including risks related to integration of our acquired businesses;

risks related to our hedging activities which may result in significant losses and in period-to-period earnings volatility;

risks related to our suppliers of raw materials and any interruption in our supply of raw materials;

risks related to our substantial indebtedness and our ability to service our current and future indebtedness;

risks related to increases in interest rates which would increase the cost of servicing our debt;

risks related to restrictive covenants in certain of our outstanding notes and our other indebtedness which could adversely affect our business by limiting our operating and strategic flexibility; and

risks related to other factors discussed or referred to in this quarterly report.
The risks described above and the risks disclosed in or referred to in "Part II - Other Information — Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this quarterly report and in "Part I — Item 3. Key Information — Risk Factors” of our Annual Report are not exhaustive. Other sections of this quarterly report describe additional factors that could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or to persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements referred to above and included elsewhere in this quarterly report.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion and analysis includes forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements with respect to our actual results. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this quarterly report. Refer to “Forward-Looking Statements” and "Part II - Other Information — Item 1A. Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this quarterly report and "Part I — Item 3. Key Information — Risk Factors" of our Annual Report.

Overview
RGHL was incorporated on May 30, 2006 in New Zealand under the Companies Act 1993. We are a leading global manufacturer and supplier of consumer food, beverage and foodservice packaging products. We are one of the largest consumer food, beverage and foodservice packaging companies in the United States, as measured by revenue, with leading market positions in many of our product lines based on management's analysis of industry data. We sell our products to customers globally, including to a diversified mix of leading multinational companies, large national and regional companies and small local businesses. We primarily serve the consumer food, beverage and foodservice market segments. We operate through six segments: SIG, Evergreen, Closures, Reynolds Consumer Products, Pactiv Foodservice and Graham Packaging.

Our Segments
SIG
SIG is a leading manufacturer of aseptic carton packaging systems for both beverage and liquid food products, including juices, milk, soups and sauces. Aseptic carton packaging, most prevalent in Europe and Asia, is designed to allow beverages or liquid food to be stored for extended periods of time without refrigeration. SIG supplies complete aseptic carton packaging systems, which include aseptic filling machines, aseptic cartons, spouts, caps and closures and related services. SIG has a large global customer base with its largest presence in Europe.

Evergreen
Evergreen is a vertically integrated, leading manufacturer of fresh carton packaging for beverage products, primarily serving the juice and milk markets. Fresh carton packaging, most predominant in North America, is designed for beverages that require a cold-chain distribution system, and therefore have a more limited shelf life than beverages in aseptic carton packaging. Evergreen supplies integrated fresh carton packaging systems, which can include fresh cartons, spouts and filling machines. Evergreen produces liquid packaging board for its internal requirements and to sell to other fresh beverage carton manufacturers. Evergreen also produces paper products, including coated groundwood primarily for catalogs, inserts, magazine and commercial printing, and uncoated freesheet primarily for envelope, specialty and offset printing paper. Evergreen has a large customer base and operates primarily in North America.

Closures
Closures is a leading manufacturer of plastic beverage caps and closures, primarily serving the carbonated soft drink, non-carbonated soft drink and bottled water segments of the global beverage market. Closures’ products also serve the liquid dairy, food, beer and liquor and automotive fluid markets. In addition to supplying plastic caps and closures, Closures also offers high speed rotary capping equipment, which secures caps on a variety of packaging, and related services. Closures has a large global customer base with its largest presence in North America.

Reynolds Consumer Products
Reynolds Consumer Products is a leading U.S. manufacturer of branded and store branded consumer products such as aluminum foil, wraps, waste bags, food storage bags and disposable tableware and cookware. These products are typically used by consumers in their homes and are sold through a variety of retailers. Reynolds Consumer Products sells many of its products under well known brands, such as Reynolds and Hefty, and also offers store branded products. Reynolds Consumer Products has a large customer base and operates primarily in North America.

Pactiv Foodservice
Pactiv Foodservice is a leading manufacturer of foodservice and food packaging products. Pactiv Foodservice offers a comprehensive range of products including tableware items, takeout service containers, clear rigid-display packaging, microwaveable containers, foam trays, dual-ovenable paperboard containers, cups and lids, molded fiber and polyethylene terephthalate ("PET") egg cartons, meat and poultry trays, absorbent tray pads, plastic film and aluminum containers. Pactiv Foodservice distributes its foodservice and food packaging products to foodservice distributors, food processors, supermarket distributors, supermarkets and restaurants. Pactiv Foodservice has a large customer base and operates primarily in North America.

Graham Packaging
Graham Packaging is a leading designer and manufacturer of value-added, custom blow molded plastic containers for branded consumer products. Graham Packaging focuses on product categories where customers and end-users value the technology and innovation that Graham Packaging's custom plastic containers offer as an alternative to traditional packaging materials such as glass, metal and paperboard. Graham Packaging has a large global customer base with its largest presence in North America.

Inter-segment Sales
Prior to January 1, 2014 Pactiv Foodservice's sales of Hefty and store brand products to Reynolds Consumer Products and Reynolds Consumer Products' sales of non-branded products to Pactiv Foodservice were sold at cost. Effective January 1, 2014, sales between Pactiv Foodservice and Reynolds Consumer Products are determined with reference to prevailing market prices on an arm's-length basis. The results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 have been revised to reflect the current pricing for comparability purposes. There is no impact

7



to the consolidated financial results. With this change, all inter-segment pricing is determined with reference to prevailing market pricing on an arm's-length basis.

Strategic Reviews
On July 28, 2014, the RGHL Group announced it is undertaking a strategic review of its ownership of its Evergreen and Closures businesses. This initiative is part of a review and possible reallocation of capital and resources within the RGHL Group's business portfolio. In addition, as a result of an approach received, the RGHL Group has decided to also undertake a strategic review of its SIG business. Both reviews may result in a decision to sell some or all of those businesses, although no decision has been made at this time to do so.  

Key Factors Influencing our Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with “Key Factors Influencing our Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in “Part I — Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” of our Annual Report, which discusses further key factors influencing our financial condition and results of operations.

Acquisitions, Substantial Leverage and Other Transaction-Related Effects
The six segments in which we operate have all been acquired through a series of transactions. Our results of operations, financial position and cash flows are significantly impacted by the effects of these acquisitions, which were financed primarily through borrowings, including transaction-related debt commitment fees and recurring interest costs. In addition, from time to time, we refinance our borrowings which also can have a significant impact on our results of operations.

As of June 30, 2014, our total indebtedness of $18,115 million was comprised of the outstanding principal amounts of our borrowings and bank overdrafts. As reflected in our consolidated statement of financial position, we had total borrowings of $17,930 million, consisting of total indebtedness netted with unamortized debt issuance costs, original issue discounts and embedded derivatives. For more information regarding our external borrowings, refer to note 12 of the RGHL Group's interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report. Our future results of operations, including our net financial expenses, will be significantly affected by our substantial indebtedness. The servicing of this indebtedness has had and will continue to have an impact on our cash flows and cash balance. For more information, refer to “— Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Restructuring and Cost Saving Programs
We have implemented a number of restructuring and cost saving programs in order to reduce our operating costs. During the six month period ended June 30, 2014, we incurred restructuring charges of $51 million and operational process engineering-related consultancy costs of $8 million. The restructuring costs were primarily incurred by SIG, Pactiv Foodservice and Graham Packaging and largely related to workforce reductions and consolidation of facilities.

Raw Materials and Energy Prices
Our results of operations are impacted by changes in the costs of our raw materials and energy prices. The primary raw materials used to manufacture our products are resins, aluminum, fiber (principally raw wood and wood chips) and paperboard (principally cartonboard and cupstock). We also use commodity chemicals, steel and energy, including fuel oil, electricity, natural gas and coal, to manufacture our products.

Principal raw materials used by each of our segments are as follows (in order of cost significance):

SIG — cartonboard, resin, aluminum

Evergreen — fiber, resin

Closures — resin

Reynolds Consumer Products — resin, aluminum

Pactiv Foodservice — resin, paperboard, aluminum

Graham Packaging — resin

Historical index prices of resin, aluminum and paperboard for the past two years are shown in the charts below. These charts present index prices and do not represent the prices at which we purchased these raw materials.

Resin prices can fluctuate significantly with fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas prices, as well as changes in refining capacity and the demand for other petroleum-based products.
Source: Platts Metal Weekly

Aluminum prices can fluctuate significantly as aluminum is a cyclical commodity with prices subject to global market factors. These factors include speculative activities by market participants, production capacity, strength or weakness in key end-markets such as housing and transportation, political and economic conditions and production costs in major production regions.

Source: Pulp and Paper Week

The prices of cupstock and cartonboard may fluctuate due to external conditions such as weather, product scarcity, currency and commodity market fluctuations and changes in governmental policies and regulations.

Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report. Detailed comparisons of revenue and results of operations are presented in the discussions of the operating segments, which follow the RGHL Group discussion.

EBITDA is defined as profit from operating activities plus depreciation of property, plant and equipment and investment properties and amortization of intangible assets. Adjusted EBITDA, a measure used by our management to measure operating performance, is defined as EBITDA, adjusted to exclude certain items of a significant or unusual nature, including but not limited to acquisition costs, non-cash pension income or expense, restructuring costs, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives, gains or losses on the sale of non-strategic assets, asset impairments and write-downs and equity method profit net of cash distributed. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not presentations made in accordance with IFRS, are not measures of financial condition, liquidity or profitability and should not be considered as an alternative to profit from operations for the period determined in accordance with IFRS or operating cash flows determined in accordance with IFRS. Additionally, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of free cash flow, as they do not take into account certain items such as interest and principal payments on our indebtedness, working capital needs, tax payments and capital expenditures. We believe that the inclusion of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in this quarterly report is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about our operating performance and to provide a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable companies. We believe that issuers of high yield debt securities present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because investors, analysts and rating agencies consider these measures useful. Because not all companies calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA identically, this presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to the similarly titled measures of other companies.

Revenue. Revenue was relatively flat. Revenue increased at SIG primarily due to favorable foreign currency exchange rates, at Evergreen primarily due to price increases, at Reynolds Consumer Products due to incremental revenue from the acquisition of Trans Western Polymers, Inc. ("Trans Western") in November 2013 and at Pactiv Foodservice driven by higher volume, partially offset by a decrease related to unfavorable product mix and unfavorable pricing. These increases in revenue were partially offset by a decrease in revenue at Closures primarily due to the sale of its aluminum closures business in Germany in January 2014 and at Graham Packaging primarily driven by lower sales volume. Foreign currency exchange rates had a net unfavorable impact of $2 million driven primarily by an unfavorable impact at Closures and Graham Packaging, partially offset by a favorable impact at SIG.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by $11 million. Cost of sales increased at Reynolds Consumer Products and Pactiv Foodservice primarily due to higher sales volume and higher raw material costs. These increases were partially offset by decreases at SIG primarily due to reduced depreciation and amortization expense and product mix, largely offset by an increase in restructuring expense, at Closures primarily due to lower sales volume and at Graham Packaging primarily driven by lower sales volume and reduced depreciation and amortization expense. Evergreen's cost of sales remained relatively flat. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased at Reynolds Consumer Products and Pactiv Foodservice and decreased at SIG, Evergreen, Closures and Graham Packaging. Foreign currency exchange rates had a net favorable impact of $5 million driven primarily by a favorable impact at Closures and Graham Packaging, partially offset by an unfavorable impact at SIG.

Selling, Marketing and Distribution Expenses/General and Administration Expenses. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses and general and administration expenses decreased by $10 million, or 3%. This was primarily attributable to a decrease at Closures as a result of savings resulting from 2013 restructuring initiatives and the sale of the aluminum closures business in Germany, at Pactiv Foodservice driven by personnel-related cost savings in North America and at Corporate due to decreased pension expense. These decreases were partially offset by increases at SIG primarily due to increased research and development and restructuring expenses and at Graham Packaging due to an increase in personnel-related costs and restructuring costs.


11



Net Other. Net other expense decreased by $19 million to $17 million. This decrease was primarily driven by a decrease of $32 million in unrealized losses on derivatives, lower business integration costs of $11 million at Graham Packaging, a favorable impact of $3 million from insurance recoveries, net of costs incurred at Pactiv Foodservice, and a decrease of $5 million in restructuring costs presented in net other. These decreases were partially offset by a $39 million related party management fee.

Net Financial Expenses. Net financial expenses decreased by $101 million, or 22%. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $136 million in the losses in fair value of embedded derivatives and a decrease of $12 million in interest expense due to a decrease in interest rates, partially offset by a decrease of $45 million in foreign currency exchange gains.

We are primarily exposed to foreign currency exchange risk that impacts the reported financial income and financial expenses of the RGHL Group as a result of the remeasurement at each reporting date of cash and cash equivalents and indebtedness that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of the respective entities. For the three month period ended June 30, 2014, the RGHL Group's primary foreign currency exchange exposure resulted from euro-denominated net intercompany borrowings receivable in a dollar functional currency entity. In addition, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk on certain other intercompany borrowings between certain of our entities with different functional currencies. As a result of the changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the RGHL Group recognized a foreign currency exchange loss of $21 million during the three month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to a foreign currency exchange gain of $24 million during the three month period ended June 30, 2013. For more information regarding the RGHL Group's financial expenses and borrowings, refer to notes 8 and 12, respectively, of the RGHL Group's interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report. For more information regarding the sensitivity of the foreign currency exchange rates on these borrowings, refer to “— Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk — Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk.”

Income Tax Expense. In interim periods, the RGHL Group computes an estimated annual effective tax rate for each taxing jurisdiction based on forecasted full-year pre-tax income and permanent items. The estimated annual effective tax rate is applied to each taxing jurisdiction's year-to-date pre-tax income, excluding items for which the tax impact is determined separately. The annualized tax rate calculation allocates estimated full-year income taxes between interim periods, but has no effect on cash taxes paid.

For the three month period ended June 30, 2014, the RGHL Group recognized income tax expense of $125 million on profit before income tax of $6 million, compared to an income tax benefit of $266 million on a loss before income tax of $115 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2013. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily a result of higher U.S. tax expense from the application of the estimated full year U.S. annual effective tax rate to actual pre-tax income in the U.S.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased by $21 million, or 8%, primarily due to certain assets becoming fully depreciated or amortized at SIG and Graham Packaging and the extension of the useful lives of certain assets at SIG.

EBITDA is defined as profit from operating activities plus depreciation of property, plant and equipment and investment properties and amortization of intangible assets. Adjusted EBITDA, a measure used by our management to measure operating performance, is defined as EBITDA, adjusted to exclude certain items of a significant or unusual nature, including but not limited to acquisition costs, non-cash pension income or expense, restructuring costs, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives, gains or losses on the sale of non-strategic assets, asset impairments and write-downs and equity method profit net of cash distributed. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not presentations made in accordance with IFRS, are not measures of financial condition, liquidity or profitability and should not be considered as an alternative to profit from operations for the period determined in accordance with IFRS or operating cash flows determined in accordance with IFRS. Additionally, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of free cash flow, as they do not take into account certain items such as interest and principal payments on our indebtedness, working capital needs, tax payments and capital expenditures. We believe that the inclusion of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in this quarterly report is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about our operating performance and to provide a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable companies. We believe that issuers of high yield debt securities present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because investors, analysts and rating agencies consider these measures useful. Because not all companies calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA identically, this presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to the similarly titled measures of other companies.

Revenue. Revenue was relatively unchanged.

Revenue in Europe was flat compared with the prior year. A $12 million decrease resulting from a combination of lower sales volume and price mix due to lower market demand was offset by a favorable foreign currency impact of $12 million due to the weakening of the dollar against the euro.

Revenue in the rest of the world increased by $2 million, or 1%. The increase was primarily attributable to strong growth in the Americas, particularly South America, partially offset by lower volume in Asia Pacific, particularly China due to lower demand, and lower revenue in the Middle East due to political instability in the region. Foreign currency impact was an unfavorable $4 million due to the weakening of the Brazilian real and the Thai baht against the dollar.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales was relatively unchanged. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily driven by a $4 million decrease related to lower sales volume, a $4 million decrease in amortization expense due to fully amortized customer relationship intangible assets, a $7 million decrease in depreciation expense primarily due to extending the useful lives of filling lines and a $10 million decrease due to the impact of product mix as well as benefits from previously implemented restructuring initiatives. These decreases were partially offset by current year restructuring expenses of $16 million, a $1 million increase in raw material prices and an unfavorable foreign currency impact of $6 million. For each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, raw material costs accounted for 68% of SIG's cost of sales.

Selling, Marketing and Distribution Expenses/General and Administration Expenses. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses and general and administration expenses increased by $3 million, or 5%. The increase was primarily due to a $2 million increase in research and development expense and $2 million of restructuring expenses.

Net Other. Net other changed by $19 million to net other income of $8 million. This change was primarily attributable to an increase of $13 million in net unrealized gains on derivatives and a $7 million increase in foreign currency exchange gains. Net unrealized gains on derivatives have been included in the segment's Adjusted EBITDA calculation for the respective periods.

Revenue. Total segment revenue increased by $17 million, or 4%. This increase was attributable to a $13 million increase in sales of liquid packaging board due to $7 million in higher sales volume and $6 million in price and mix improvements. Revenue from paper products increased $6 million due to $3 million in higher sales volume and $3 million in price and mix improvements. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $2 million in revenue from carton packaging due to $9 million in lower sales volume, partially offset by $7 million in price and mix improvements.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales was relatively unchanged. The slight increase in cost of sales was driven by a $6 million increase due to the previously discussed increase in sales volume, partially offset by $5 million in lower production costs as Evergreen's facilities experienced favorable operating results, partially offset by unfavorable input costs, primarily fiber, resin and energy. For the three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, raw material costs accounted for 47% and 45% of Evergreen's cost of sales, respectively.

Gross Profit. Evergreen's gross profit is impacted by changes in the costs of raw materials, including fiber, resin, commodity chemicals and energy, including fuel oil, electricity, natural gas and coal. Evergreen purchases most of its raw materials and other input costs on the spot market and generally cannot immediately pass through price increases or declines to certain of its customers because the contractual price adjustments do not occur simultaneously with market price fluctuations, but rather on a mutually agreed upon schedule. Due to the differences in timing between Evergreen's purchases of raw materials from its suppliers and sales to certain of its customers, there is often a lead-lag impact, with margins being negatively impacted in periods of rising raw material prices and positively impacted in periods of falling raw material prices.

Selling, Marketing and Distribution Expenses/General and Administration Expenses. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses and general and administration expenses increased by $2 million, or 10%.

Revenue. Total segment revenue decreased by $10 million, or 3%.

Total segment revenue in North America decreased $4 million, or 3%. This decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to a decrease in sales volume of $8 million, primarily in Mexico and an unfavorable foreign currency impact of $2 million. These decreases were partially offset by favorable pricing of $6 million primarily resulting from the pass-through of higher resin costs to customers and lower claims.

Total segment revenue in the rest of the world decreased by $6 million, or 3%. This decrease was primarily a result of the sale of the aluminum closures business in Germany in January 2014, which reduced revenue by $14 million, and an unfavorable foreign currency impact of $4 million. This was partially offset by increased volume in Asia and South America and favorable pricing resulting from the pass-through of higher resin costs to customers.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales decreased by $11 million, or 4%. This decrease was primarily due to lower sales volume, the benefit from prior year restructuring initiatives and lower claims expense. In addition, there was a favorable foreign currency impact of $7 million. These reductions were partially offset by $9 million resulting from higher raw material costs. For the three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, raw material costs accounted for 65% and 63% of Closures' cost of sales, respectively.

Gross Profit. Closures' gross profit is impacted by the pass-through of resin price increases to customers. Contractual price adjustments with customers do not occur simultaneously with actual resin purchase price fluctuations, but rather on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or other basis. Therefore, due to the difference in timing between Closures' purchase of resin from its suppliers and sales of products to its customers, pricing related to the pass-through of resin price fluctuations to customers directly impacts gross profit.

Selling, Marketing and Distribution Expenses/General and Administration Expenses. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses and general and administration expenses decreased by $4 million, or 13%. This decrease is primarily due to savings resulting from 2013 restructuring initiatives, the sale of the aluminum closures business in Germany, reduced professional fees and favorable foreign currency impact.

Net Other. Net other changed by $3 million to net other income of $1 million primarily due to lower restructuring costs. This item has been included in the segments Adjusted EBITDA calculation.

The information presented has been revised to conform to the presentation of inter-segment sales in the current year period. Refer to note 4 of the RGHL Group's interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report for additional information.

Revenue. Total segment revenue increased by $37 million, or 5%. The increase was driven by $34 million of incremental revenue from the acquisition of Trans Western. Higher volume in the waste, storage and cooking product categories was partially offset by lower volume in the tableware category.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by $42 million, or 8%. This increase was primarily driven by higher net revenue and $12 million of higher raw material costs. For each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, raw material costs accounted for 74% of Reynolds Consumer Products' cost of sales.

Gross Profit. Reynolds Consumer Products generally cannot immediately pass through price increases or declines to its customers because the contractual price adjustments do not occur simultaneously with market price fluctuations, but rather on a mutually agreed upon schedule. For most resin-based products, there is a time lag between the purchase of raw materials by Reynolds Consumer Products and the pass-through of raw material price fluctuations to customers. Due to the differences in timing between Reynolds Consumer Products' purchases of resin from its suppliers and sales to its customers, there is often a lead-lag impact, during which margins are negatively impacted in periods of rising resin prices and positively impacted in periods of falling resin prices. For branded products, contracts with customers do not contain contractual price protection for raw material cost fluctuations.

Selling, Marketing and Distribution Expenses/General and Administration Expenses. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses and general and administration expenses decreased by $2 million, or 3%. The decrease was driven by lower advertising expenses and professional fees.

Net Other. Net other changed by $10 million to net other income of $7 million. This change was primarily attributable to a change in the unrealized movements in derivatives. This item has been included in the segment's Adjusted EBITDA calculation.

The information presented has been revised to conform to the presentation of inter-segment sales in the current year period. Refer to note 4 of the RGHL Group's interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report for additional information.

Revenue. Total segment revenue decreased by $12 million, or 1%. External revenue increased by $2 million while inter-segment revenue decreased by $14 million. The increase in external revenue of $2 million is the result of incremental sales volume of $12 million primarily driven by growth in the cups product category as a result of new business.This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $10 million related to unfavorable product mix and unfavorable pricing, primarily due to timing of the pass-through of resin price changes to customers.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by $27 million, or 3%. This increase was primarily attributable to increased sales volume, higher raw material costs of $14 million and higher restructuring costs of $6 million. These increases were partially offset by improved operational performance driven by benefits from continued focus on manufacturing efficiencies. For the three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, raw material costs accounted for 63% and 64% of Pactiv Foodservice's cost of sales, respectively.

Gross Profit. Pactiv Foodservice's gross profit is impacted by changes in the costs of raw materials, including resin and aluminum. Pactiv Foodservice generally cannot immediately pass through price increases or declines to its customers because the price adjustments do not occur simultaneously with market price fluctuations, but rather on a mutually agreed upon schedule. Due to the differences in timing between Pactiv Foodservice's purchases of raw materials from its suppliers and sales to its customers, there is often a lead-lag impact, with margins being negatively impacted in periods of rising raw material prices and positively impacted in periods of falling raw material prices.

Selling, Marketing and Distribution Expenses/General and Administration Expenses. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses and general and administration expenses decreased by $5 million, or 7%. The decrease was primarily driven by lower employee-related costs as well as lower expenses across various other administration expense categories. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in restructuring-related expenses.

Net Other. Net other changed by $15 million to net other income of $12 million. The $12 million of net other income for the three month period ended June 30, 2014 is comprised of $4 million of insurance recoveries related to the Macon, Georgia manufacturing plant fire and Hurricane Sandy plant damage and $8 million of unrealized gains on derivatives. The $3 million of net other expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2013 is primarily comprised of $3 million of unrealized losses on derivatives and $2 million of consulting related costs. This is partially offset by $1 million of insurance recoveries related to the Macon, Georgia manufacturing plant fire and Hurricane Sandy plant damage. These items, with the exception of insurance recoveries related to business interruption, have been included in the segment’s Adjusted EBITDA calculation.

Revenue. Revenue decreased by $45 million, or 6%. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to a decrease in sales volume of $41 million, primarily due to reduced volume in the household and personal care product categories as contract losses in prior years became effective in the current year and a decrease in end-consumer demand for certain customers' products, partially offset by the awarding of new business. Also contributing to the decline was a decrease in resin pricing passed through to customers and an unfavorable foreign currency impact of $4 million.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales decreased by $58 million, or 8%. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decline of $37 million from the decreased sales volume, reduced depreciation expense of $15 million as certain assets became fully depreciated, a decrease in resin pricing, operational improvements and a favorable foreign currency impact of $4 million. These declines were partially offset by the impact of product mix. For each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, raw material costs accounted for 58% of Graham Packaging's cost of sales.

Gross Profit. Graham Packaging's gross profit is impacted by changes in the costs of raw materials, including resin, and energy-related costs. Graham Packaging purchases most of its raw materials and other production inputs on the spot market and generally cannot immediately pass through price increases or declines to certain of its customers because the contractual price adjustments do not occur simultaneously with market price fluctuations, but rather on a mutually agreed upon schedule. Due to the differences in timing between Graham Packaging's purchases of raw materials from its suppliers and sales to certain of its customers, there is often a lead-lag impact, with margins being negatively impacted in periods of rising raw material prices and positively impacted in periods of falling raw material prices.

Selling, Marketing and Distribution Expenses/General and Administration Expenses. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses and general and administration expenses increased by $5 million, or 10%. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in personnel-related costs and restructuring costs.

Net Other. Net other expense decreased by $10 million to $3 million. This change was primarily attributable to a decrease of $11 million in business integration costs, partially offset by an increase of $1 million in asset impairment charges. These items have been included in the segment's Adjusted EBITDA calculation.

Selling, Marketing and Distribution Expenses/General and Administration Expenses. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses and general and administration expenses decreased by $9 million, or 33%. This was primarily attributable to a decrease of $7 million in pension expense as well as decreases in professional fees and other corporate management expenses.

Net Other. Net other expense increased by $39 million to $42 million. This change was primarily attributable to a related party management fee of $39 million. This item has been included in the Adjusted EBITDA calculation.

EBITDA is defined as profit from operating activities plus depreciation of property, plant and equipment and investment properties and amortization of intangible assets. Adjusted EBITDA, a measure used by our management to measure operating performance, is defined as EBITDA, adjusted to exclude certain items of a significant or unusual nature, including but not limited to acquisition costs, non-cash pension income or expense, restructuring costs, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives, gains or losses on the sale of non-strategic assets, asset impairments and write-downs and equity method profit net of cash distributed. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not presentations made in accordance with IFRS, are not measures of financial condition, liquidity or profitability and should not be considered as an alternative to profit from operations for the period determined in accordance with IFRS or operating cash flows determined in accordance with IFRS. Additionally, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of free cash flow, as they do not take into account certain items such as interest and principal payments on our indebtedness, working capital needs, tax payments and capital expenditures. We believe that the inclusion of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in this quarterly report is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about our operating performance and to provide a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable companies. We believe that issuers of high yield debt securities present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because investors, analysts and rating agencies consider these measures useful. Because not all companies calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA identically, this presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to the similarly titled measures of other companies.

Revenue. Revenue decreased by $74 million, or 1%. Revenue decreased at SIG primarily due to a combination of lower sales volume and price mix, at Closures primarily due to the sale of its aluminum closures business in Germany in January 2014 and at Graham Packaging primarily driven by lower sales volume. These decreases in revenue were partially offset by an increase in revenue at Evergreen primarily due to price increases, at Reynolds Consumer Products due to incremental revenue from the acquisition of Trans Western in November 2013 and at Pactiv Foodservice due to incremental sales volume, partially offset by a decrease driven by unfavorable product mix and unfavorable pricing. Foreign currency exchange rates had a net unfavorable impact of $20 million driven primarily by an unfavorable impact at Closures and Graham Packaging, partially offset by a favorable impact at SIG.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales decreased by $19 million. Cost of sales decreased at SIG and Graham Packaging primarily driven by lower sales volume and reduced depreciation and amortization expense, with the decrease at SIG partially offset by higher restructuring costs, and cost of sales decreased at Closures due to lower sales volume. These decreases were partially offset by increases at Evergreen primarily attributable to higher input costs, at Reynolds Consumer Products primarily due to higher sales volume and higher raw material costs and at Pactiv Foodservice largely due to higher sales volume and raw material costs. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased at Reynolds Consumer Products and Pactiv Foodservice and decreased at SIG, Evergreen, Closures and Graham Packaging. Foreign currency exchange rates had a net favorable impact of $18 million driven primarily by a favorable impact at Closures and Graham Packaging, partially offset by an unfavorable impact at SIG.

Selling, Marketing and Distribution Expenses/General and Administration Expenses. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses and general and administration expenses decreased by $1 million. This was primarily attributable to decreases at Closures and Pactiv Foodservice due to benefits from previously implemented restructuring initiatives and a decrease at Corporate due to lower pension expense. These decreases were partially offset by an increase at SIG driven by research and development and restructuring expenses, at Reynolds Consumer Products driven by higher advertising costs related to a new product launch and at Graham Packaging primarily due to personnel-related costs and restructuring costs.


21



Net Other. Net other expense decreased by $21 million to $4 million. This was primarily driven by a decrease of $18 million in unrealized losses on derivatives, a decrease of $22 million in business integration costs at Graham Packaging, a $13 million gain on the sale of Closures' aluminum closures business in Germany and a decrease of $9 million in restructuring costs presented in net other. These decreases were partially offset by a $39 million related party management fee, the reversal in the prior year of $3 million in provisions related to the expiration of a tax indemnification from a business disposal and a $3 million litigation settlement in the prior year.

Net Financial Expenses. Net financial expenses decreased by $473 million, or 54%. The decrease was primarily attributable to an increase of $431 million in the gains in fair value of embedded derivatives, a decrease of $21 million in foreign currency exchange losses and a decrease of $26 million in interest expense due to a decrease in interest rates on borrowings.

We are primarily exposed to foreign currency exchange risk that impacts the reported financial income and financial expenses of the RGHL Group as a result of the remeasurement at each reporting date of cash and cash equivalents and indebtedness that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of the respective entities. For the six month period ended June 30, 2014, the RGHL Group's primary foreign currency exchange exposure resulted from euro-denominated net intercompany borrowings receivable in a dollar functional currency entity. In addition, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk on certain other intercompany borrowings between certain of our entities with different functional currencies. As a result of the changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the RGHL Group recognized a foreign currency exchange loss of $23 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to a foreign currency exchange loss of $44 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2013. For more information regarding the RGHL Group's financial expenses and borrowings, refer to notes 8 and 12, respectively, of the RGHL Group's interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report. For more information regarding the sensitivity of the foreign currency exchange rates on these borrowings, refer to “— Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk — Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk.”

Income Tax Expense. In interim periods, the RGHL Group computes an estimated annual effective tax rate for each taxing jurisdiction based on forecasted full-year pre-tax income and permanent items. The estimated annual effective tax rate is applied to each taxing jurisdiction's year-to-date pre-tax income, excluding items for which the tax impact is determined separately. The annualized tax rate calculation allocates estimated full-year income taxes between interim periods, but has no effect on cash taxes paid.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2014, the RGHL Group recognized income tax expense of $219 million on profit before income tax of $231 million (an effective tax rate of 95%) compared to an income tax benefit of $282 million on a loss before income tax of $210 million (an effective tax rate of 134%) for the six month period ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily a result of the mix of book income and losses taxed at varying rates among the jurisdictions in which the RGHL Group operates.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased by $49 million, or 9%, primarily due to certain assets becoming fully depreciated or amortized at SIG and Graham Packaging and the extension of the useful lives of certain assets at SIG.

Revenue. Revenue decreased by $13 million, or 1%.

Revenue in Europe decreased by $5 million, or 1%, driven by a $27 million decrease from a combination of lower sales volume and price mix due to lower market demand, partially offset by a favorable foreign currency impact of $22 million due to the weakening of the dollar against the euro.

Revenue in the rest of the world decreased by $8 million, or 1%. The decrease was primarily attributable to an unfavorable foreign currency impact of $13 million due to the weakening of the Brazilian real and the Thai baht against the dollar, partially offset by a $5 million increase from strong growth in the Americas, particularly South America, which more than offset lower sales volume in Asia, particularly China. Revenue in the Middle East decreased due to lower filler sales.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales decreased by $13 million, or 2%. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily driven by a $15 million decrease related to lower sales volume, a $17 million decrease in amortization expense due to fully amortized customer relationship intangible assets, a $14 million decrease in depreciation expense primarily due to extending the useful lives of filling lines and a $9 million decrease related to product mix and other manufacturing costs. These decreases were partially offset by the $12 million Brazilian VAT refund recognized in the prior year, current year restructuring expense of $18 million, a $4 million increase in raw material prices and an unfavorable foreign currency impact of $8 million. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, raw material costs accounted for 67% and 68% of SIG's cost of sales, respectively. The decrease in raw material costs as a percent of cost of sales was primarily due to a change in product mix.

Selling, Marketing and Distribution Expenses/General and Administration Expenses. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses and general and administration expenses increased by $10 million, or 9%. The increase was primarily due to a $4 million increase in research and development expense, $3 million of restructuring expenses and $3 million of other general and administration expenses.

Net Other. Net other income increased by $3 million to $9 million. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $4 million in net unrealized gains on derivatives and a $7 million increase in foreign currency exchange gains. These items were partially offset by the prior year income of $6 million from the Brazilian VAT refund and the prior year income of $2 million from the sale of assets. These items, with the exception of the foreign currency exchange gains, have been included in the segment's Adjusted EBITDA calculation for the respective periods.

Revenue. Total segment revenue increased by $25 million, or 3%. This increase was attributable to a $19 million increase in sales of liquid packaging board due to $10 million in price and mix improvements and $9 million in higher sales volume. Sales of carton packaging increased by $3 million due to $15 million in price and mix improvements, partially offset by $12 million of decreased carton packaging sales volume. Additionally, revenue from paper products increased by $3 million due to increased market pricing.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by $16 million, or 2%. This increase in cost of sales was driven by a $13 million increase in total input costs, primarily due to increased fiber, resin and energy costs, partially offset by improved production costs as Evergreen's facilities experienced favorable productivity. Additionally, cost of sales increased $3 million due to the previously discussed changes in sales volume. For each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, raw material costs accounted for 45% of Evergreen's cost of sales.

Gross Profit. Evergreen's gross profit is impacted by changes in the costs of raw materials, including fiber, resin, commodity chemicals and energy, including fuel oil, electricity, natural gas and coal. Evergreen purchases most of its raw materials and other input costs on the spot market and generally cannot immediately pass through price increases or declines to certain of its customers because the contractual price adjustments do not occur simultaneously with market price fluctuations, but rather on a mutually agreed upon schedule. Due to the differences in timing between Evergreen's purchases of raw materials from its suppliers and sales to certain of its customers, there is often a lead-lag impact, with margins being negatively impacted in periods of rising raw material prices and positively impacted in periods of falling raw material prices.

Selling, Marketing and Distribution Expenses/General and Administration Expenses. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses and general and administration expenses decreased by $1 million, or 2%.

Revenue. Total segment revenue decreased by $25 million, or 4%.

Total segment revenue in North America decreased $2 million, or 1%. This decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to a decrease in sales volume of $12 million and an unfavorable foreign currency impact of $3 million. These decreases were partially offset by favorable pricing of $13 million primarily resulting from the pass-through of higher resin costs to customers and lower claims.

Total segment revenue in the rest of the world decreased by $23 million, or 6%. This decrease was primarily a result of the sale of the aluminum closures business in Germany in January 2014, which reduced revenue by $28 million, and an unfavorable foreign currency impact of $14 million. This was partially offset by increased volume in Asia and South America and favorable pricing resulting primarily from the pass-through of higher resin costs to customers.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales decreased by $28 million, or 6%. This decrease was primarily due to lower sales volume, the benefit from prior year restructuring initiatives and lower claims expense. In addition, there was a favorable foreign currency impact of $16 million. These reductions were partially offset by $22 million resulting from higher raw material costs. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, raw material costs accounted for 64% and 61% of Closures' cost of sales, respectively.

Gross Profit. Closures' gross profit is impacted by the pass-through of resin price increases to customers. Contractual price adjustments with customers do not occur simultaneously with actual resin purchase price fluctuations, but rather on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or other basis. Therefore, due to the difference in timing between Closures' purchase of resin from its suppliers and sales of products to its customers, pricing related to the pass-through of resin price fluctuations to customers directly impacts gross profit.

Selling, Marketing and Distribution Expenses/General and Administration Expenses. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses and general and administration expenses decreased by $9 million, or 15%. This decrease is primarily the result of savings resulting from 2013 restructuring initiatives, the sale of the aluminum closures business in Germany, reduced professional fees and favorable foreign currency impact due to the strengthening of the dollar as noted above.

Net Other. Net other changed by $14 million to net other income of $11 million primarily due to the $13 million gain on the sale of the aluminum closures business in Germany and lower restructuring costs. This increase was partially offset by an increase of $4 million in unrealized losses on derivatives. These items have been included in the segments Adjusted EBITDA calculation.

The information presented has been revised to conform to the presentation of inter-segment sales in the current year period. Refer to note 4 of the RGHL Group's interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report for additional information.

Revenue. Total segment revenue increased by $53 million, or 4%. The increase was primarily driven by $66 million of incremental revenue from the acquisition of Trans Western, partially offset by lower volume in the cooking products category.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by $78 million, or 8%. This increase was primarily driven by higher net revenue as a result of the acquisition of Trans Western and $26 million of higher raw material costs. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, raw material costs accounted for 74% and 73% of Reynolds Consumer Products' cost of sales, respectively.

Gross Profit. Reynolds Consumer Products generally cannot immediately pass through price increases or declines to its customers because the contractual price adjustments do not occur simultaneously with market price fluctuations, but rather on a mutually agreed upon schedule. For most resin-based products, there is a time lag between the purchase of raw materials by Reynolds Consumer Products and the pass-through of raw material price fluctuations to customers. Due to the differences in timing between Reynolds Consumer Products' purchases of resin from its suppliers and sales to its customers, there is often a lead-lag impact, during which margins are negatively impacted in periods of rising resin prices and positively impacted in periods of falling resin prices. For branded products, contracts with customers do not contain contractual price protection for raw material cost fluctuations.

Selling, Marketing and Distribution Expenses/General and Administration Expenses. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses and general and administration expenses increased by $4 million, or 3%. The increase was driven by higher promotional and advertising expenses in support of a new product launch.

Net Other. Net other changed by $17 million to net other income of $6 million. This change was primarily attributable to a change in the unrealized movements in derivatives. This item has been included in the segment's Adjusted EBITDA calculation.

The information presented has been revised to conform to the presentation of inter-segment sales in the current year period. Refer to note 4 of the RGHL Group's interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report for additional information.

Revenue. Total segment revenue decreased by $12 million, or 1%. External revenue increased by $7 million while inter-segment revenue decreased by $19 million. The increase in external revenue of $7 million is the result of incremental sales volume of $22 million, partially offset by a decrease of $15 million related to unfavorable product mix and unfavorable pricing due to the timing of the pass-through of resin price changes to customers. The volume increase was primarily driven by growth in the cups category as a result of new business, partially offset by the loss of sales volume due to the Macon, Georgia manufacturing plant fire in May 2013. 

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by $32 million, or 2%. This increase was primarily attributable to increased external sales volume, higher raw material costs of $18 million and restructuring costs of $5 million. Manufacturing costs were relatively flat. Higher manufacturing costs driven by pre-operational costs on the start-up of new capacity and higher utility and other costs resulting from adverse weather conditions were offset by improved operational performance driven by benefits from continued focus on manufacturing efficiencies in pre-existing capacity. For each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, raw material costs accounted for 61% of Pactiv Foodservice's cost of sales.

Gross Profit. Pactiv Foodservice's gross profit is impacted by changes in the costs of raw materials, including resin and aluminum. Pactiv Foodservice generally cannot immediately pass through price increases or declines to its customers because the price adjustments do not occur simultaneously with market price fluctuations, but rather on a mutually agreed upon schedule. Due to the differences in timing between Pactiv Foodservice's purchases of raw materials from its suppliers and sales to its customers, there is often a lead-lag impact, with margins being negatively impacted in periods of rising raw material prices and positively impacted in periods of falling raw material prices.

Selling, Marketing and Distribution Expenses/General and Administration Expenses. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses and general and administration expenses decreased by $11 million, or 7%. The decrease was primarily driven by lower employee-related costs as well as lower expense across various other administration expense categories. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in restructuring-related expenses.

Net Other. Net other income increased by $7 million to $14 million. The increase is primarily due to a decrease of $7 million in consultancy costs. Net other income for the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 includes insurance recoveries related to manufacturing plant fires and Hurricane Sandy plant damage of $14 million and $14 million, respectively. These items, with the exception of insurance recoveries related to business interruption, have been included in the segment’s Adjusted EBITDA calculation.

Revenue. Revenue decreased by $116 million, or 7%. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to a decrease in sales volume of $108 million, primarily due to reduced volume in the household and personal care product categories as contract losses in prior years became effective in the current year, the impact of adverse weather conditions in the first quarter of 2014 and a decrease in end-consumer demand for certain customers' products, primarily in the food and beverage markets, partially offset by the awarding of new business. Also contributing to the decline was an unfavorable foreign currency impact of $12 million and a decrease in resin pricing passed through to customers. These decreases were partially offset by the impact of product mix.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales decreased by $114 million, or 8%. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decline of $92 million from the decreased sales volume, reduced depreciation expense of $22 million as certain assets became fully depreciated, a favorable foreign currency impact of $10 million, operational improvements and a decrease in resin pricing. These declines were partially offset by the impact of product mix and restructuring costs of $9 million. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, raw material costs accounted for 57% and 58% of Graham Packaging's cost of sales, respectively.

Gross Profit. Graham Packaging's gross profit is impacted by changes in the costs of raw materials, including resin, and energy-related costs. Graham Packaging purchases most of its raw materials and other production inputs on the spot market and generally cannot immediately pass through price increases or declines to certain of its customers because the contractual price adjustments do not occur simultaneously with market price fluctuations, but rather on a mutually agreed upon schedule. Due to the differences in timing between Graham Packaging's purchases of raw materials from its suppliers and sales to certain of its customers, there is often a lead-lag impact, with margins being negatively impacted in periods of rising raw material prices and positively impacted in periods of falling raw material prices.

Selling, Marketing and Distribution Expenses/General and Administration Expenses. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses and general and administration expenses increased by $11 million, or 11%. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in personnel-related costs, operational process engineering-related costs and restructuring costs.

Net Other. Net other expense decreased by $22 million to $4 million. This change was primarily attributable to a decrease of $22 million in business integration costs. This item has been included in the segment's Adjusted EBITDA calculation.

The information presented has been revised to conform to the presentation of inter-segment sales in the current year period. Refer to note 4 of the RGHL Group's interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report for additional information.

Selling, Marketing and Distribution Expenses/General and Administration Expenses. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses and general and administration expenses decreased by $7 million, or 14%. This was primarily attributable to a decrease of $14 million in pension expense. This decrease was partially offset by increases in lease termination costs, professional fees, software costs and other corporate management expenses.

Net Other. Net other changed by $42 million to net other expense of $40 million. This change was primarily attributable to a related party management fee of $39 million. This item has been included in the Adjusted EBITDA calculation.

Differences Between the RGHL Group and Beverage Packaging Holdings Group Results of Operations
There are certain differences between the RGHL Group interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the Bev Pack interim unaudited condensed combined financial statements, each included elsewhere in this quarterly report.

RGHL is a holding company. Consequently, there are no differences between the revenue and gross profit amounts presented in the RGHL Group interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the Bev Pack interim unaudited condensed combined financial statements. The differences in the reported profit (loss) before income tax between the RGHL Group interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the Bev Pack interim unaudited condensed combined financial statements are primarily due to related party interest income and expenses that are recognized by RGHL, intercompany amounts between RGHL and the members of Bev Pack that eliminate on consolidation of the RGHL Group, foreign currency exchange movements on the related party balances of RGHL, management fee expense recognized by RGHL and incidental RGHL corporate expenses.

Differences between the RGHL Group statement of financial position and the Bev Pack statement of financial position are primarily attributable to the related party receivables and borrowings of RGHL.

Differences between the RGHL Group statement of cash flows and the Bev Pack statement of cash flows primarily relate to the management fee paid by RGHL.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
Cash provided by operations was $150 million compared to $146 million in the prior year period. The net increase in cash flows is attributable to a lesser build in working capital as well as a reduction in interest payments of $35 million. The benefits of these improvements were partially offset by lower profit from operating activities as discussed in the "Results of Operations" and increased tax payments of $14 million.
Cash Flow used in Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $340 million compared to $328 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher capital spending of $17 million. Refer to “— Capital Expenditures” for additional information regarding expenditures on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

Capital expenditures increased by $17 million, or 5%, in the current period. The increased spending was primarily to expand capacity to support new business and to replace capacity lost due to the Macon, Georgia plant fire in 2013.

We expect to incur approximately $700 million in capital expenditures during 2014 (excluding acquisitions) largely to support business growth, cost reduction initiatives and capital replacements. We expect to fund these expenditures with cash flows from operations as well as from insurance proceeds. Actual capital expenditures may differ.

Capital Resources
We have substantial debt and debt service obligations. As of June 30, 2014, our total indebtedness of $18,115 million was comprised of the outstanding principal amounts of our borrowings and bank overdrafts.

We have pledged assets that secure the Reynolds Senior Secured Notes and the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The collateral consists of substantially all the assets of the issuers and the guarantors, including the capital stock of their subsidiaries, real property, bank accounts, investments, receivables, equipment, inventory, intellectual property and insurance policies, subject to certain exclusions.


32



As of June 30, 2014, the Senior Secured Credit Facilities included revolving credit facilities of $120 million and €54 million ($74 million), which were utilized in the amounts of $64 million and €15 million ($20 million), respectively, in the form of bank guarantees and letters of credit.

We have pledged certain assets to secure a receivables loan and security agreement (the "Securitization Facility") pursuant to which the RGHL Group can borrow up to $600 million. The amount that can be borrowed is calculated by reference to a funding base determined by the amount of eligible trade receivables of certain members of the RGHL Group. The Securitization Facility is secured by all of the assets of the borrower, Beverage Packaging Factoring (Luxembourg) S.à r.l., which consist primarily of eligible trade receivables and cash. As of June 30, 2014, the RGHL Group had drawn $440 million under the Securitization Facility.

We may from time to time seek to issue additional indebtedness depending on market conditions, our cash position requirements and other considerations.

In addition, we may from time to time take steps to reduce our indebtedness, which may include open market repurchases and retirement of currently outstanding indebtedness. The total amount of indebtedness that will be repurchased or retired will depend on market conditions, our cash position requirements and other considerations.

Sources of Liquidity
Our sources of liquidity for the future are expected to be our existing cash resources, cash flows from operations, drawings under the revolving credit facilities of our Senior Secured Credit Facilities, borrowings under the Securitization Facility and local working capital facilities. In addition to our cash and cash equivalents, as of June 30, 2014, we had $56 million and €39 million ($53 million) available for drawing under our revolving credit facilities. Our revolving credit facilities mature in December 2018.

Our ability to borrow under our revolving credit facilities or our other local working capital facilities may be limited by the terms of such indebtedness or other indebtedness (including the Reynolds Notes and the 2013 Notes), including financial covenants.

As of June 30, 2014, our total indebtedness of $18,115 million was comprised of the outstanding principal amounts of our borrowings and bank overdrafts. Our 2014 annual cash interest obligations on our Senior Secured Credit Facilities, our outstanding notes, the Securitization Facility and our other indebtedness are expected to be approximately $1,264 million, assuming interest on our floating rate debt continues to accrue at the current interest rates as of June 30, 2014 and there is no change in the current euro-to-dollar exchange rate for our euro-denominated interest obligations. We expect to meet our debt service obligations with our existing cash resources and cash flows from operations, which we believe will be adequate to meet our obligations for the next year. Refer to note 12 of the RGHL Group's interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report.

Under the indentures governing the Reynolds Notes (excluding the February 2012 Senior Notes, which no longer contain such covenants) and the 2013 Notes, we may incur additional indebtedness either by satisfying certain incurrence tests or by incurring such additional indebtedness under certain specific categories of permitted debt. Indebtedness may be incurred under the incurrence tests if the fixed charge coverage ratio is at least 2.00 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis and (i) under the indentures governing our Reynolds Senior Secured Notes, the liens securing first lien secured indebtedness do not exceed a 3.50 to 1.00 senior secured leverage ratio, (ii) under the indentures governing our Reynolds Senior Notes and the 2013 Senior Notes, the liens securing any secured indebtedness do not exceed a 4.50 to 1.00 secured leverage ratio and (iii) under the indenture governing the 2013 Senior Subordinated Notes, the liens secure senior indebtedness.

Under the credit agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, we may incur additional indebtedness either by satisfying certain incurrence tests or by incurring such additional indebtedness under certain specific categories of permitted debt. Incremental senior secured indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and senior secured notes in lieu thereof are permitted to be incurred up to an aggregate principal amount of $750 million subject to pro forma compliance with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities' senior secured first lien leverage ratio covenant. In addition, we may incur incremental senior secured indebtedness under the credit agreement governing our Senior Secured Credit Facilities and senior secured notes in an unlimited amount so long as our senior secured first lien leverage ratio does not exceed 3.50 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis and (in the case of incremental senior secured indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities only) we are in pro forma compliance with the senior secured first lien leverage ratio covenant included in the credit agreement governing our Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The incurrence of unsecured indebtedness, including the issuance of senior notes, and unsecured subordinated indebtedness is also permitted subject to pro forma compliance with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities' senior secured first lien leverage ratio covenant.

Under the credit agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, we are subject to a maintenance covenant that stipulates a maximum net senior secured first lien leverage ratio. As of the last day of each fiscal quarter, our net senior secured first lien leverage ratio must be less than or equal to 4.50 to 1.00.

As of June 30, 2014, our net senior secured first lien leverage ratio was 3.23x as calculated for purposes of the maintenance covenant under the credit agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The credit agreement governing our Senior Secured Credit Facilities does not require us to include the indebtedness under the Securitization Facility in the calculation of the net senior secured first lien leverage ratio.

The indentures governing the Reynolds Notes (excluding the February 2012 Senior Notes, which no longer contain such covenants) and the 2013 Notes and the credit agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities also contain negative covenants. The negative covenants include limitations, subject to agreed exceptions, on the ability of RGHL and its material subsidiaries to: incur additional indebtedness (including guarantees); incur liens; enter into sale and lease-back transactions; make investments, loans and advances; implement mergers, consolidations and sales of assets; make restricted payments or enter into restrictive agreements; enter into transactions with affiliates on non-arm's length terms; change the business conducted by RGHL and its subsidiaries; prepay, or make redemptions and repurchases of specified indebtedness; amend certain material agreements governing specified indebtedness; make certain amendments to the organizational documents of RGHL and its material subsidiaries; change RGHL's fiscal year; and under the 2013 Notes conduct certain activities in the case of BP II and Beverage Packaging Holdings II Issuer Inc. (the co-issuer of the 2013 Notes).

The indentures governing the Reynolds Notes and the 2013 Notes and the credit agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities generally allow subsidiaries of RGHL to transfer funds in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances within the RGHL Group.

33




We believe that our cash flows from operations and our existing available cash, together with our other available external financing sources, will be adequate to meet our future liquidity needs for the next year. We are currently in compliance with the covenants under the credit agreement governing our Senior Secured Credit Facilities and our other outstanding indebtedness, including the Reynolds Notes and the 2013 Notes. We expect to remain in compliance with our covenants.

Our future operating performance and our ability to service or refinance the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, our outstanding notes and other indebtedness are subject to economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

Embedded Derivatives
We have separately recognized embedded derivative assets in relation to the early call feature on certain borrowings. Embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through net financial expenses in the statement of comprehensive income as a component of profit or loss. As of June 30, 2014, our non-current derivative asset of $695 million included embedded derivatives of $693 million. The fair value of the embedded derivatives is calculated using industry standard models that consider various assumptions, such as quoted market prices, time value and volatility factors for the underlying instruments. Changes in any one or more of these assumptions could have a significant impact on the value of embedded derivatives.

(1)
Total repayments of financial liabilities consist of the principal amounts, fixed and floating rate interest obligations and the cash flows associated with commodity and other derivative instruments. The exchange rate on euro-denominated borrowings and the interest rate on the floating rate debt balances have been assumed to be the same as the rates in effect during the month of June 2014. Both the three-month LIBOR and the Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR") during the month of June 2014 were below the floor rates established in accordance with the respective agreements.

(2)
Unconditional capital expenditure obligations include plant expansions at Pactiv Foodservice, growth and maintenance at SIG and growth and operational enhancements at Graham Packaging, primarily in North America.

In addition, the outstanding term loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are required to be prepaid with up to 50% of the RGHL Group's excess cash flow with a step down to 25% if the senior secured first lien leverage ratio is less than or equal to 2.25x commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.

Contingent Liabilities
The RGHL Group’s financing agreements permit the payment to related parties of management, consulting, monitoring and advising fees (the “Management Fee”) of up to 1.5% of the RGHL Group’s EBITDA (as defined in the financing agreements) for the previous year. The RGHL Group does not have a management fee agreement with any related parties. Rank Group Limited, an entity that is also controlled by the RGHL Group’s ultimate shareholder, charged the RGHL Group a Management Fee of $39 million in June 2014. No Management Fees have been paid in relation to the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, however the Senior Secured Credit Facilities permit the RGHL Group to pay a Management Fee of up to $37 million in respect of those years.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Other than operating leases entered into in the normal course of business, we currently have no material off-balance sheet obligations.

Accounting Principles
Our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS and IFRIC Interpretations as issued by the IASB.

Critical Accounting Policies
For a summary of our critical accounting policies, refer to “Part I — Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — Critical Accounting Policies” of our Annual Report. Our critical accounting policies have not changed from those disclosed in our Annual Report.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
On May 22, 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. IFRS 15 contains a revised revenue recognition framework. IFRS 15 will be effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. The RGHL Group is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard.

On July 24, 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”. IFRS 9 replaces the guidance in IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”, and contains revised requirements in relation to the classification, measurement and presentation of financial instruments, including derivatives. IFRS 9 will be effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The RGHL Group is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard.

There have been no material changes to any previously issued accounting pronouncements or to the RGHL Group's evaluation of the related impact as disclosed in our Annual Report.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
In the normal course of business we are subject to risks from adverse fluctuations in interest and foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. We manage these risks through a combination of an appropriate mix between variable rate and fixed rate borrowings and natural offsets of foreign currency receipts and payments, supplemented by forward foreign currency exchange contracts and commodity derivatives. Derivative contracts are not used for trading or speculative purposes. The extent to which we use derivative instruments is dependent upon our access to them in the financial markets and our use of other risk management methods, such as netting exposures for foreign currency exchange risk and establishing sales arrangements that permit the pass-through to customers of changes in commodity prices. Our objective in managing our exposure to market risk is to limit the impact on earnings and cash flow.

Interest Rate Risk
We had significant debt commitments outstanding as of June 30, 2014. These on-balance sheet financial instruments, to the extent they accrue interest at variable interest rates, expose us to interest rate risk. Our interest rate risk arises primarily on significant borrowings that are denominated in dollars and euro that are drawn under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities and our Securitization Facility. As of June 30, 2014, the agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities included an interest rate floor of 1.0% per annum on U.S. and European term loans and revolving loans. As of June 30, 2014, the Securitization Facility accrued interest at a floating rate with no floor.

The underlying three-month LIBOR and EURIBOR rates as of June 30, 2014 were 0.23% and 0.21%, respectively. Based on our outstanding debt commitments as of June 30, 2014, a one-year timeframe and all other variables, in particular foreign currency exchange rates, remaining constant, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a $5 million increase and a $1 million increase in the interest expense on the U.S. and European term loans, respectively, under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities. A 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would have no impact on the interest expense on the U.S. or European term loans due to the LIBOR and EURIBOR floors under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

The interest rate on the Securitization Facility as of June 30, 2014 was 2.09%. Based on our outstanding debt commitments under our Securitization Facility as of June 30, 2014, a one-year timeframe and all other variables remaining constant, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a $4 million increase in interest expense while a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would result in a $1 million decrease in interest expense, due to the low variable rate portion of the Securitization Facility interest rate.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
As a result of our international operations, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk arising from sales, purchases, assets and borrowings that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of the respective entities.

In accordance with our treasury policy, we take advantage of natural offsets to the extent possible. Therefore, when commercially feasible, we borrow in the same currencies in which cash flows from operations are generated. On a limited basis, we use forward exchange contracts to hedge residual foreign currency exchange risk arising from receipts and payments denominated in foreign currencies. Additionally, when considered appropriate we may enter into forward exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency exchange risk arising from specific transactions. The following table provides the details of our outstanding foreign currency derivative contracts as of June 30, 2014.

We generally do not hedge our exposure to translation gains or losses in respect of our non-dollar functional currency assets or liabilities.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2014, our primary foreign currency exchange exposure resulted from euro-denominated net intercompany borrowings receivable in a dollar functional currency entity. The continuing change in the foreign currency exchange rate between

35



the dollar and the euro will result in us recognizing either foreign currency exchange gains or losses on the translation of this net indebtedness in the future. A 100 basis point strengthening of the euro against the dollar, applied as of June 30, 2014, would have resulted in a reduction of $17 million of the reported foreign currency exchange loss, while a 100 basis point weakening of the euro against the dollar would have resulted in an additional foreign currency exchange loss of $17 million.

In addition, we are also exposed to foreign currency exchange risk on certain other intercompany borrowings between certain of our entities with different functional currencies which do not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Commodity Risk
We are exposed to commodity and other price risk principally from the purchase of resin, natural gas, electricity, aluminum, diesel, steel and starch. We use various strategies to manage cost exposures on certain raw material purchases with the objective of obtaining more predictable costs for these commodities. We generally enter into commodity financial instruments or derivatives to hedge commodity prices related to resin, aluminum, diesel and natural gas.

We enter into futures and swaps to hedge our exposure to commodity price fluctuations. We believe these contracts manage our price risk by reference to the difference between the fixed contract price and the market price. The following table provides the details of our outstanding commodity derivative contracts as of June 30, 2014.

Includes a swap that hedges the price of aluminum for a private label customer contract that expires in December 2016.

The fair values of the derivative contracts are derived from inputs based on quoted market prices or traded exchange market prices and represent the estimated amounts that we would pay or receive to terminate the contracts. As of June 30, 2014, the estimated fair values of the outstanding commodity derivative contracts were a net asset of $2 million. During the six month period ended June 30, 2014, we recognized a $4 million unrealized net gain in other expenses in the profit or loss component of the statement of comprehensive income related to the outstanding commodity derivatives.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the appropriate time periods. We, under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2014.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three month period ended June 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

There have been no material changes to the legal proceedings disclosed in our Annual Report.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
There have been no material changes in the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURE.
Not applicable.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION.
RGHL has received the requested waiver from the Staff of the Division of Corporation Finance with respect to the requirements of Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X for the year ended December 31, 2013 to file separate financial statements for SIG Combibloc Obeikan FZCO.

SIG owns 50% of SIG Combibloc Obeikan Company Limited, a Saudi Arabian joint venture (“SIG Obeikan”). A minor portion of SIG Obeikan's business includes selling carton sleeves to Iran Dairy Industries Co. - Pegah Product Dairy Production (“IDIC”), which are used for packaging milk and other dairy products. IDIC is, to SIG's knowledge, majority-owned by a pension fund for certain civil servants in Iran and therefore may be indirectly controlled by the government of Iran. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, SIG Obeikan's gross sales to IDIC were approximately €1.3 million and €1.8 million, respectively, and its net profit from such sales was approximately €0.2 million and €0.6 million, respectively. SIG Obeikan intends to continue this activity.

On June 30, 2014, the Group acquired 100% of the assets of the Novelis Foil Products North America division of Novelis Inc. and Novelis Corporation for an aggregate purchase price of $30 million. Due to the acquisition date, the purchase price has not yet been fully allocated and the unallocated portion was accounted for within other non-current assets in the Group's consolidated financial statements. During March 2013, the Group acquired a business for an aggregate purchase price of $32 million. The consideration was paid in cash. The purchase accounting was finalized during the three month period ended September 30, 2013 and resulted in goodwill of $13 million and intangible assets of $12 million. The adjustments to reflect the purchase price allocation were included in the three month period ended September 30, 2013 and were immaterial for prior periods.

Significant non-cash financing and investing activities

During the six month period ended June 30, 2014, the Group's aluminum closures business in Germany was sold for $26 million, resulting in a gain of $13 million. The consideration received was in the form of a note receivable.





The interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows should be read in conjunction with the notes to the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

2.    Basis of preparation

2.1    Statement of compliance

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting.” The disclosures required for interim financial statements are less extensive than the disclosure requirements for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2013. The December 31, 2013 statement of financial position as presented in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements was derived from the Group's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, but does not include the disclosures required by IFRS as issued by the IASB.

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors (the "Directors") on August 6, 2014 in Chicago, Illinois (August 7, 2014 in Auckland, New Zealand).

2.2    Comparative information

During the three month period ended June 30, 2014, the Group made an adjustment to correct a tax provision that was established in error in the first quarter of 2014. The adjustment decreased income tax expense and loss for the period by $7 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2014.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Group changed the presentation of the consolidated statement of cash flows from the direct method to the indirect method. Accordingly, the presentation of the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 has been reclassified to conform to this presentation. This change had no financial impact.

2.3    Negative equity

The statement of financial position presents negative equity of $233 million and $231 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Total equity has been reduced by $1,561 million as a result of the Group's accounting for the common control acquisitions of the Closures segment and Reynolds consumer products business in 2009 and of the Evergreen segment and Reynolds foodservice packaging business in 2010. The Group accounts for acquisitions under common control of its ultimate shareholder, Mr. Graeme Hart, using the carry-over or book value method. The excess of the purchase price over the carrying values of the share capital acquired is recognized as a reduction in equity.

2.4    Accounting policies and recently issued accounting pronouncements

Accounting policies

The accounting policies applied by the Group in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied by the Group in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

On May 22, 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. IFRS 15 contains a revised revenue recognition framework. IFRS 15 will be effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard.

On July 24, 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”. IFRS 9 replaces the guidance in IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”, and contains revised requirements in relation to the classification, measurement and presentation of financial instruments, including derivatives. IFRS 9 will be effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard.

There have been no material changes to any previously issued accounting pronouncements or to the Group's evaluation of the related impact as disclosed by the Group in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.

2.5    Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires the Directors and management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. These estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both the current and future periods. The key estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those disclosed by the Group in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.
3.    Financial risk management

3.1     Liquidity risk

The Group’s contractual cash flows related to total borrowings as of June 30, 2014 are as follows:
(In $ million)
 
Financial liabilities
 
Less than one year
 
One to three years
 
Three to five years
 
Greater than five years
As of June 30, 2014*
 
25,031

 
1,720

 
4,075

 
8,706

 
10,530

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
As of December 31, 2013*
 
25,681

 
1,728

 
3,198

 
6,744

 
14,011


*
The exchange rate on euro-denominated borrowings and the interest rates on the floating rate debt balances have been assumed to be the same as the respective rates as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Trade and other payables that are due in less than one year were $1,870 million and $1,799 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

3.2    Fair value measurements recognized in the statements of comprehensive income

The Group’s derivative financial instruments are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value and are grouped into levels based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.

Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets
Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)
Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)

All of the Group's derivative financial instruments were in Level 2 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Changes in any one or more of these assumptions could have a significant impact on the values.

There were no transfers between any levels during the six month period ended June 30, 2014. There have been no changes in the classifications of financial instruments as a result of a change in the purpose or use of these instruments.

4.    Segment reporting

The Group's reportable business segments are as follows:

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014

Pactiv Foodservice — Pactiv Foodservice is a manufacturer of foodservice and food packaging products. Pactiv Foodservice offers a comprehensive range of products including tableware items, takeout service containers, clear rigid-display packaging, microwaveable containers, foam trays, dual-ovenable paperboard containers, cups and lids, molded fiber and PET egg cartons, meat and poultry trays, absorbent tray pads, plastic film and aluminum containers.

Graham Packaging — Graham Packaging is a manufacturer of value-added, custom blow molded plastic containers for branded consumer products.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker does not review the business activities of the Group based on geography.

The accounting policies applied by each segment are the same as the Group’s accounting policies. Results from operating activities represent the profit earned by each segment without allocation of central administrative revenues and expenses, financial income and expenses, and income tax benefit or expense.

The performance of the operating segments is assessed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker based on adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net profit before income tax expense, net financial expenses, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude certain items of a significant or unusual nature, including but not limited to acquisition costs, non-cash pension income or expense, restructuring costs, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives, gains or losses on the sale of non-strategic assets, asset impairments and write-downs and equity method profit net of cash distributed.

Segment assets and liabilities exclude intercompany transactions, which affect balances as a result of trade and borrowings between the segments. Corporate/Unallocated includes holding companies and certain debt issuer companies which support the entire Group and which are not part of a specific segment. It also includes eliminations of transactions between segments.

Prior to January 1, 2014 Pactiv Foodservice's sales of Hefty and store brand products to Reynolds Consumer Products and Reynolds Consumer Products' sales of non-branded products to Pactiv Foodservice were sold at cost. Effective January 1, 2014, sales between Pactiv Foodservice and Reynolds Consumer Products are determined with reference to prevailing market prices on an arm's-length basis. The results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 have been revised to reflect the current pricing for comparability purposes. There is no impact to the consolidated financial results. With this change, all inter-segment pricing is determined with reference to prevailing market pricing on an arm's-length basis. In addition, Pactiv Foodservice's presentation of inter-segment revenue and cost of sales for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 has been revised to properly reflect the amounts reported for an adjustment of an intercompany elimination entry. This resulted in an equal increase to inter-segment revenue and cost of sales in Pactiv Foodservice in the amount of $15 million and $33 million, respectively, offset by an elimination of the same amount in Corporate/Unallocated. The adjustments do not impact gross profit or the consolidated financial results.

5.    Seasonality

Our business is impacted by seasonal fluctuations.

SIG

SIG's operations are moderately seasonal. SIG's customers are principally engaged in providing products such as beverages and liquid foods that are generally less sensitive to seasonal effects, although SIG experiences some seasonality as a result of increased consumption of juices and tea during the summer months in Europe. SIG therefore typically experiences a greater level of carton sleeve sales in the second and third quarters. Sales in the fourth quarter can increase due to additional purchases by customers prior to the end of the year to achieve annual volume rebates that SIG offers.

Evergreen

Evergreen's operations are moderately seasonal. Evergreen's customers are principally engaged in providing products that are generally less sensitive to seasonal effects, although Evergreen does experience some seasonality as a result of increased consumption of milk by school children during the North American academic year. Evergreen therefore typically experiences a greater level of carton product sales in the first and fourth quarters when North American schools are in session.

Closures

Closures' operations are moderately seasonal. Closures experiences some seasonality as a result of increased consumption of bottled beverages during the summer months. In order to avoid capacity shortfalls in the summer months, Closures' customers typically begin building inventories in advance of the summer season. Therefore, Closures typically experiences a greater level of closure sales in the Northern Hemisphere during the second and third quarters.

Reynolds Consumer Products

Reynolds Consumer Products' operations are moderately seasonal with higher levels of sales of cooking and tableware products around major U.S. holidays. Sales of cooking products are typically higher in the fourth quarter of the year, primarily due to the holiday use of Reynolds Wrap foil, Reynolds Oven Bags and Reynolds Parchment Paper. Sales of tableware products are higher in the second quarter of the year due to outdoor summer holiday use of disposable tableware plates, cups and bowls. Sales of waste and storage products are slightly higher in the second half of the year in North America, coinciding with the outdoor fall cleanup season.

Pactiv Foodservice

Pactiv Foodservice's operations are moderately seasonal, peaking during the summer and fall months in the Northern Hemisphere when the favorable weather, harvest and the holiday season lead to increased consumption of foodservice and food packaging products. Pactiv Foodservice therefore typically experiences a greater level of sales in the second through fourth quarters.

Graham Packaging

Graham Packaging's operations are slightly seasonal with higher levels of unit volume sales in the second and third quarters. Graham Packaging experiences some seasonality of bottled beverages during the summer months, most significantly in North America. Typically Graham Packaging begins to build inventory in the first and early second quarters to prepare for the summer demand.

In interim periods, the Group computes an estimated annual effective tax rate for each taxing jurisdiction based on forecasted full-year pre-tax income and permanent items. The estimated annual effective tax rate is applied to each taxing jurisdiction's year-to-date pre-tax income, excluding items for which the tax impact is determined separately. The annualized tax rate calculation allocates estimated full-year income taxes between interim periods, but has no effect on cash taxes paid.

For the three month period ended June 30, 2014, the Group recognized income tax expense of $125 million on profit before income tax of $6 million compared to an income tax benefit of $266 million on a loss before income tax of $115 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2013. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily a result of higher U.S. tax expense from the application of the estimated full year U.S. annual effective tax rate to actual pre-tax income in the U.S.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2014, the Group recognized income tax expense of $219 million on profit before income tax of $231 million (an effective tax rate of 95%) compared to an income tax benefit of $282 million on a loss before income tax of $210 million (an effective tax rate of 134%) for the six month period ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily a result of the mix of book income and losses taxed at varying rates among the jurisdictions in which the Group operates.

In addition to the above amounts, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, the Group has recognized a tax expense of $15 million and a tax benefit of $44 million, respectively, directly in other comprehensive income (three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013: tax expense of $85 million and $208 million, respectively).

(r)        Securitization Facility

Certain members of the Group are parties to a receivables loan and security agreement pursuant to which the Group can borrow up to $600 million (the "Securitization Facility"). The amount that can be borrowed is calculated by reference to a funding base determined by the amount of eligible trade receivables of certain members of the Group. The Securitization Facility matures on November 7, 2017 and accrues interest at a rate of either the cost of funds in commercial paper or LIBOR, set daily, plus, in each case, a margin of 1.90%. During the six month period ended June 30, 2014, interest was charged at a rate between 2.08% and 2.10%. The Securitization Facility is secured by all of the assets of the borrower, Beverage Packaging Factoring (Luxembourg) S.à r.l., which consist primarily of the eligible trade receivables and cash. The terms of the Securitization Facility do not result in the derecognition of the trade receivables by the Group. Amounts drawn under the Securitization Facility are presented as current borrowings, as amounts drawn are required to be repaid when the receivables are collected.

The Revolving Tranches were utilized in the form of bank guarantees and letters of credit.

The Company and certain members of the Group have guaranteed on a senior basis the obligations under the 2013 Credit Agreement and related documents to the extent permitted by law. Certain guarantors have granted security over certain of their assets to support the obligations under the 2013 Credit Agreement. This security is expected to be shared on a first priority basis with the note holders under the October 2010 Senior Secured Notes, the February 2011 Senior Secured Notes, the August 2011 Senior Secured Notes and the September 2012 Senior Secured Notes (each as defined below, and together the “Reynolds Senior Secured Notes”).

Indebtedness under the 2013 Credit Agreement may be voluntarily repaid in whole or in part and must be mandatorily repaid in certain circumstances. The borrowers also make quarterly amortization payments of 0.25% of the original outstanding principal in respect of the term loans, which commenced with the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014. Beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014, the borrowers are also required to make annual prepayments of term loans with up to 50% of excess cash flow (which will be reduced to 25% if a specified senior secured first lien leverage ratio is met) as determined in accordance with the 2013 Credit Agreement.

The 2013 Credit Agreement contains customary covenants which restrict the Group from certain activities including, among other things, incurring debt, creating liens over assets, selling or acquiring assets and making restricted payments, in each case except as permitted under the 2013 Credit Agreement. The Group also has a maximum senior secured first lien leverage ratio covenant. In addition, total assets of the non-guarantor companies (excluding intra-group items but including investments in subsidiaries) are required to be 25% or less of the adjusted consolidated total assets of the Group as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Company for which financial statements are available, and the aggregate of the EBITDA of the non-guarantor companies is required to be 25% or less of the consolidated EBITDA of the Group for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Company for which financial statements are available, in each case calculated in accordance with the 2013 Credit Agreement (the "Guarantor Coverage Test") which may differ from the measure of Adjusted EBITDA as disclosed in note 4. If the Group is unable to meet the Guarantor Coverage Test, the Group will be required to add additional subsidiary guarantors as necessary to satisfy such requirements. The 2013 Credit Agreement provides the Group with greater flexibility to exclude certain non-U.S. companies from the collateral and guarantee requirements. Provided that the Group meets the Guarantor Coverage Test, the Group has the ability to designate certain non-U.S. companies as excluded subsidiaries which would result in such non-U.S. companies no longer guaranteeing the 2013 Credit Agreement and being released from their guarantees of the Reynolds Notes (as defined below) and the 2013 Notes (as defined below).

(w)    Other borrowings

As of June 30, 2014, in addition to the Securitization Facility, the 2013 Credit Agreement, the Reynolds Notes, the 2013 Notes and the Pactiv Notes, the Group had a number of unsecured working capital facilities extended to certain operating companies of the Group. These facilities bear interest at floating or fixed rates.

As of June 30, 2014, the Group had local working capital facilities in a number of jurisdictions which are secured by the collateral under the 2013 Credit Agreement and the Reynolds Senior Secured Notes and by certain other assets. These facilities rank pari passu with the obligations under the 2013 Credit Agreement and under the Reynolds Senior Secured Notes.

Other borrowings as of June 30, 2014 also included finance lease obligations of $29 million (December 31, 2013: $30 million).

13.    Related parties

Other than the management fee described in note 2.2, there have been no new significant related party transactions during the period. The nature of the Group's related party relationships, balances and transactions as of and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 are consistent with the information presented in note 23 of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.

14.    Contingencies

The Group’s financing agreements permit the payment to related parties of management, consulting, monitoring and advising fees (the “Management Fee”) of up to 1.5% of the Group’s EBITDA (as defined in the financing agreements) for the previous year. The Group does not have a management fee agreement with any related parties. No Management Fees have been paid in relation to the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, however the 2013 Credit Agreement permits the Group to pay a Management Fee of up to $37 million in respect of those years.

Litigation and legal proceedings

In addition to the amounts recognized as provisions in the statements of financial position, the Group has contingent liabilities related to other litigation and legal proceedings. The Group has determined that the possibility of a material outflow related to these contingent liabilities is remote.

Security and guarantee arrangements

Certain members of the Group have entered into guarantee and security arrangements in respect of the Group's indebtedness as described in note 12. There are also guarantees given to banks granting credit facilities to the Group's joint venture company SIG Combibloc Obeikan Company Limited, in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Notes to the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014

The condensed consolidating statements of comprehensive income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, the condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 and the condensed consolidating statements of financial position as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 reflect the current guarantor structure of the Group.

In conjunction with the repayment of the 2007 Notes, BP II guaranteed the Reynolds Notes. In conjunction with the entry into the 2013 Credit Agreement, certain entities that were previously guarantors of the Reynolds Notes were released as guarantors. Comparative information has been revised to reflect the revised guarantor structure that resulted from these transactions.

Each guarantor subsidiary is 100% owned by the Parent. The Reynolds Notes are guaranteed to the extent permitted by law and are subject to certain customary guarantee release provisions set forth in the indentures governing the Reynolds Notes on a joint and several basis by each guarantor subsidiary. Provided below are condensed statements of comprehensive income, financial position and cash flows of each of the companies listed above, together with the condensed consolidating statements of comprehensive income, financial position and cash flows of guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries. These have been prepared under the Group's accounting policies disclosed in the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 and comply with IFRS with the exception of investments in subsidiaries. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method. The guarantor subsidiaries and non-guarantor subsidiaries are each presented on a combined basis. The principal elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions.

Reynolds Group Holdings Limited
Notes to the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014

16.    Subsequent events

On July 28, 2014, the Group announced it is undertaking a strategic review of its ownership of its Evergreen and Closures businesses. This initiative is part of a review and possible reallocation of capital and resources within the Group's business portfolio. In addition, as a result of an approach received, the Group has decided to also undertake a strategic review of its SIG business. Both reviews may result in a decision to sell some or all of those businesses, although no decision has been made at this time to do so.  

Other than the item disclosed above, there have been no events subsequent to June 30, 2014 which would require accrual or disclosure in these financial statements.

*
On June 30, 2014, the Group acquired 100% of the assets of the Novelis Foil Products North America division of Novelis Inc. and Novelis Corporation for an aggregate purchase price of $30 million. Due to the acquisition date, the purchase price has not yet been fully allocated and the unallocated portion was accounted for within other non-current assets in the Group's consolidated financial statements. During March 2013, the Group acquired a business for an aggregate purchase price of $32 million. The consideration was paid in cash. The purchase accounting was finalized during the three month period ended September 30, 2013 and resulted in goodwill of $13 million and intangible assets of $12 million. The adjustments to reflect the purchase price allocation were included in the three month period ended September 30, 2013 and were immaterial for prior periods.

Significant non-cash financing and investing activities

During the six month period ended June 30, 2014, the Group's aluminum closures business in Germany was sold for $26 million, resulting in a gain of $13 million. The consideration received was in the form of a note receivable.




The interim unaudited condensed combined statements of cash flows should be read in conjunction with the notes to the interim unaudited condensed combined financial statements.

G-4

Beverage Packaging Holdings Group
Notes to the interim unaudited condensed combined financial statements
For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014


1.Reporting entity

Beverage Packaging Holdings (Luxembourg) I S.A. ("BP I") and Beverage Packaging Holdings (Luxembourg) II S.A. ("BP II") are domiciled in Luxembourg and registered in the Luxembourg "Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés."

The interim unaudited condensed combined financial statements of Beverage Packaging Holdings Group (the "Group") as of June 30, 2014 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 comprise the combination of:

BP I and its subsidiaries and their interests in associates and jointly controlled entities; and

BP II.

The address of the registered office of BP I and BP II is 6C, rue Gabriel Lippmann, L-5365 Munsbach, Luxembourg.

2.    Basis of preparation

2.1    Statement of compliance

The interim unaudited condensed combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting.” The disclosures required for interim financial statements are less extensive than the disclosure requirements for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2013. The December 31, 2013 statement of financial position as presented in the interim unaudited condensed combined financial statements was derived from the Group's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, but does not include the disclosures required by IFRS as issued by the IASB.

The interim unaudited condensed combined financial statements were approved by the Boards of Management of BP I and BP II on August 6, 2014 in Munsbach, Luxembourg (August 7, 2014 in Auckland, New Zealand).

2.2    Comparative information

During the three month period ended June 30, 2014, the Group made an adjustment to correct a tax provision that was established in error in the first quarter of 2014. The adjustment decreased income tax expense and loss for the period by $7 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2014.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Group changed the presentation of the combined statement of cash flows from the direct method to the indirect method. Accordingly, the presentation of the combined statement of cash flows for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 has been reclassified to conform to this presentation. This change had no financial impact.

2.3    Negative equity

The statement of financial position presents negative equity of $502 million and $512 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Total equity has been reduced by $1,561 million as a result of the Group's accounting for the common control acquisitions of the Closures segment and Reynolds consumer products business in 2009 and of the Evergreen segment and Reynolds foodservice packaging business in 2010. The Group accounts for acquisitions under common control of its ultimate shareholder, Mr. Graeme Hart, using the carry-over or book value method. The excess of the purchase price over the carrying values of the share capital acquired is recognized as a reduction in equity.

2.4    Accounting policies and recently issued accounting pronouncements

Accounting policies

The accounting policies applied by the Group in the interim unaudited condensed combined financial statements are consistent with those applied by the Group in the annual combined financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

On May 22, 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. IFRS 15 contains a revised revenue recognition framework. IFRS 15 will be effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard.

On July 24, 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”. IFRS 9 replaces the guidance in IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”, and contains revised requirements in relation to the classification, measurement and presentation of financial instruments, including derivatives. IFRS 9 will be effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard.

There have been no material changes to any previously issued accounting pronouncements or to the Group's evaluation of the related impact as disclosed by the Group in the annual combined financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.

2.5    Use of estimates and judgments

G-5

Beverage Packaging Holdings Group
Notes to the interim unaudited condensed combined financial statements
For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014

The preparation of the interim unaudited condensed combined financial statements requires the Directors and management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. These estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both the current and future periods. The key estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the interim unaudited condensed combined financial statements are consistent with those disclosed by the Group in the annual combined financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The exchange rate on euro-denominated borrowings and the interest rates on the floating rate debt balances have been assumed to be the same as the respective rates as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Trade and other payables that are due in less than one year were $1,844 million and $1,782 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

3.2    Fair value measurements recognized in the statements of comprehensive income

The Group’s derivative financial instruments are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value and are grouped into levels based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.

Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets
Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)
Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)

All of the Group's derivative financial instruments were in Level 2 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Changes in any one or more of these assumptions could have a significant impact on the values.

There were no transfers between any levels during the six month period ended June 30, 2014. There have been no changes in the classifications of financial instruments as a result of a change in the purpose or use of these instruments.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker does not review the business activities of the Group based on geography.

The accounting policies applied by each segment are the same as the Group’s accounting policies. Results from operating activities represent the profit earned by each segment without allocation of central administrative revenues and expenses, financial income and expenses, and income tax benefit or expense.

The performance of the operating segments is assessed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker based on adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net profit before income tax expense, net financial expenses, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude certain items of a significant or unusual nature, including but not limited to acquisition costs, non-cash pension income or expense, restructuring costs, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives, gains or losses on the sale of non-strategic assets, asset impairments and write-downs and equity method profit net of cash distributed.

Segment assets and liabilities exclude intercompany transactions, which affect balances as a result of trade and borrowings between the segments. Corporate/Unallocated includes holding companies and certain debt issuer companies which support the entire Group and which are not part of a specific segment. It also includes eliminations of transactions between segments.

Prior to January 1, 2014 Pactiv Foodservice's sales of Hefty and store brand products to Reynolds Consumer Products and Reynolds Consumer Products' sales of non-branded products to Pactiv Foodservice were sold at cost. Effective January 1, 2014, sales between Pactiv Foodservice and Reynolds Consumer Products are determined with reference to prevailing market prices on an arm's-length basis. The results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 have been revised to reflect the current pricing for comparability purposes. There is no impact to the combined financial results. With this change, all inter-segment pricing is determined with reference to prevailing market pricing on an arm's-length basis. In addition, Pactiv Foodservice's presentation of inter-segment revenue and cost of sales for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 has been revised to properly reflect the amounts reported for an adjustment of an intercompany elimination entry. This resulted in an equal increase to inter-segment revenue and cost of sales in Pactiv Foodservice in the amount of $15 million and $33 million, respectively, offset by an elimination of the same amount in Corporate/Unallocated. The adjustments do not impact gross profit or the combined financial results.

5.    Seasonality

Our business is impacted by seasonal fluctuations.

SIG

SIG's operations are moderately seasonal. SIG's customers are principally engaged in providing products such as beverages and liquid foods that are generally less sensitive to seasonal effects, although SIG experiences some seasonality as a result of increased consumption of juices and tea during the summer months in Europe. SIG therefore typically experiences a greater level of carton sleeve sales in the second and third quarters. Sales in the fourth quarter can increase due to additional purchases by customers prior to the end of the year to achieve annual volume rebates that SIG offers.

Evergreen

Evergreen's operations are moderately seasonal. Evergreen's customers are principally engaged in providing products that are generally less sensitive to seasonal effects, although Evergreen does experience some seasonality as a result of increased consumption of milk by school children during the North American academic year. Evergreen therefore typically experiences a greater level of carton product sales in the first and fourth quarters when North American schools are in session.

Closures

Closures' operations are moderately seasonal. Closures experiences some seasonality as a result of increased consumption of bottled beverages during the summer months. In order to avoid capacity shortfalls in the summer months, Closures' customers typically begin building inventories in advance of the summer season. Therefore, Closures typically experiences a greater level of closure sales in the Northern Hemisphere during the second and third quarters.

Reynolds Consumer Products

Reynolds Consumer Products' operations are moderately seasonal with higher levels of sales of cooking and tableware products around major U.S. holidays. Sales of cooking products are typically higher in the fourth quarter of the year, primarily due to the holiday use of Reynolds Wrap foil, Reynolds Oven Bags and Reynolds Parchment Paper. Sales of tableware products are higher in the second quarter of the year due to outdoor summer holiday use of disposable tableware plates, cups and bowls. Sales of waste and storage products are slightly higher in the second half of the year in North America, coinciding with the outdoor fall cleanup season.

Pactiv Foodservice

Pactiv Foodservice's operations are moderately seasonal, peaking during the summer and fall months in the Northern Hemisphere when the favorable weather, harvest, and the holiday season lead to increased consumption of foodservice and food packaging products. Pactiv Foodservice therefore typically experiences a greater level of sales in the second through fourth quarters.

Graham Packaging

Graham Packaging's operations are slightly seasonal with higher levels of unit volume sales in the second and third quarters. Graham Packaging experiences some seasonality of bottled beverages during the summer months, most significantly in North America. Typically Graham Packaging begins to build inventory in the first and early second quarters to prepare for the summer demand.

In interim periods, the Group computes an estimated annual effective tax rate for each taxing jurisdiction based on forecasted full-year pre-tax income and permanent items. The estimated annual effective tax rate is applied to each taxing jurisdiction's year-to-date pre-tax income, excluding items for which the tax impact is determined separately. The annualized tax rate calculation allocates estimated full-year income taxes between interim periods, but has no effect on cash taxes paid.

For the three month period ended June 30, 2014, the Group recognized income tax expense of $123 million on profit before income tax of $39 million compared to an income tax benefit of $268 million on a loss before income tax of $121 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2013. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily a result of higher U.S. tax expense from the application of the estimated full year U.S. annual effective tax rate to actual pre-tax income in the U.S.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2014, the Group recognized income tax expense of $215 million on profit before income tax of $258 million (an effective tax rate of 83%) compared to an income tax benefit of $285 million on a loss before income tax of $220 million (an effective tax rate of 130%) for the six month period ended June 30, 2013. The increase in the effective tax rate is a result of the mix of book income and losses taxed at varying rates among the jurisdictions in which the Group operates.

In addition to the above amounts, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, the Group has recognized a tax expense of $15 million and a tax benefit of $44 million, respectively, directly in other comprehensive income (three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013: tax expense of $85 million and $208 million, respectively).

(r)        Securitization Facility

Certain members of the Group are parties to a receivables loan and security agreement pursuant to which the Group can borrow up to $600 million (the "Securitization Facility"). The amount that can be borrowed is calculated by reference to a funding base determined by the amount of eligible trade receivables of certain members of the Group. The Securitization Facility matures on November 7, 2017 and accrues interest at a rate of either the cost of funds in commercial paper or LIBOR, set daily, plus, in each case, a margin of 1.90%. During the six month period ended June 30, 2014, interest was charged at a rate between 2.08% and 2.10%. The Securitization Facility is secured by all of the assets of the borrower, Beverage Packaging Factoring (Luxembourg) S.à r.l., which consist primarily of the eligible trade receivables and cash. The terms of the Securitization Facility do not result in the derecognition of the trade receivables by the Group. Amounts drawn under the Securitization Facility are presented as current borrowings, as amounts drawn are required to be repaid when the receivables are collected.

The Revolving Tranches were utilized in the form of bank guarantees and letters of credit.

RGHL and certain members of the Group have guaranteed on a senior basis the obligations under the 2013 Credit Agreement and related documents to the extent permitted by law. Certain guarantors have granted security over certain of their assets to support the obligations under the 2013 Credit Agreement. This security is expected to be shared on a first priority basis with the note holders under the October 2010 Senior Secured Notes, the February 2011 Senior Secured Notes, the August 2011 Senior Secured Notes and the September 2012 Senior Secured Notes (each as defined below, and together the “Reynolds Senior Secured Notes”).

Indebtedness under the 2013 Credit Agreement may be voluntarily repaid in whole or in part and must be mandatorily repaid in certain circumstances. The borrowers also make quarterly amortization payments of 0.25% of the original outstanding principal in respect of the term loans, which commenced with the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014. Beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014, the borrowers are also required to make annual prepayments of term loans with up to 50% of excess cash flow (which will be reduced to 25% if a specified senior secured first lien leverage ratio is met) as determined in accordance with the 2013 Credit Agreement.

The 2013 Credit Agreement contains customary covenants which restrict RGHL and the Group from certain activities including, among other things, incurring debt, creating liens over assets, selling or acquiring assets and making restricted payments, in each case except as permitted under the 2013 Credit Agreement. RGHL and the Group also have a maximum senior secured first lien leverage ratio covenant. In addition, total assets of the non-guarantor companies (excluding intra-group items but including investments in subsidiaries) are required to be 25% or less of the adjusted consolidated total assets of RGHL and the Group as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of RGHL for which financial statements are available, and the aggregate of the EBITDA of the non-guarantor companies is required to be 25% or less of the consolidated EBITDA of RGHL and the Group for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of RGHL for which financial statements are available, in each case calculated in accordance with the 2013 Credit Agreement (the "Guarantor Coverage Test") which may differ from the measure of Adjusted EBITDA as disclosed in note 4. If RGHL and the Group are unable to meet the Guarantor Coverage Test, RGHL and the Group will be required to add additional subsidiary guarantors as necessary to satisfy such requirements. The 2013 Credit Agreement provides RGHL and the Group with greater flexibility to exclude certain non-U.S. companies from the collateral and guarantee requirements. Provided that RGHL and the Group meet the Guarantor Coverage Test, RGHL and the Group have the ability to designate certain non-U.S. companies as excluded subsidiaries which would result in such non-U.S. companies no longer guaranteeing the 2013 Credit Agreement and being released from their guarantees of the Reynolds Notes (as defined below) and the 2013 Notes (as defined below).

As of June 30, 2014, the Group had local working capital facilities in a number of jurisdictions which are secured by the collateral under the 2013 Credit Agreement and the Reynolds Senior Secured Notes and by certain other assets. These facilities rank pari passu with the obligations under the 2013 Credit Agreement and under the Reynolds Senior Secured Notes.

15.    Subsequent events

On July 28, 2014, the Group announced it is undertaking a strategic review of its ownership of its Evergreen and Closures businesses. This initiative is part of a review and possible reallocation of capital and resources within the Group's business portfolio. In addition, as a result of an approach received, the Group has decided to also undertake a strategic review of its SIG business. Both reviews may result in a decision to sell some or all of those businesses, although no decision has been made at this time to do so.  

Other than the item disclosed above, there have been no events subsequent to June 30, 2014 which would require accrual or disclosure in these financial statements.
