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, 2016 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 14, 2017 (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 https://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 and our senior notes, excluding the Pactiv Notes (as defined below), and (ii) the credit agreement with our lenders governing our senior secured credit facilities (the “Credit Agreement”). Our outstanding notes include:

Notes covered by an effective registration statement filed with the SEC, comprised of:

The 5.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2020; and

The 6.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2021;

Notes not covered by an effective registration statement filed with the SEC, comprised of:

The Floating Rate Senior Secured Notes due 2021;

The 5.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2023;

The 7.000% Senior Notes due 2024; and

The 6.400% Notes due 2018, the 7.950% Debentures due 2025 and the 8.375% Debentures due 2027, each issued by Pactiv LLC (collectively, the “Pactiv Notes”).

The senior secured notes are referred to as the “Reynolds Senior Secured Notes.” The senior notes are referred to as the “Reynolds Senior Notes.” The Reynolds Senior Secured Notes and the Reynolds Senior Notes are collectively referred to as the “Reynolds Notes.”

The indentures governing these notes, as well as our Credit Agreement, 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. 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. 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, are not measures of financial condition, liquidity or profitability and should not be considered as an alternative to profit from operations for the period or operating cash flows determined in accordance with IFRS, 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. 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. 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

2



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, 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 dependence on key management and other highly skilled personnel;

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

risks related to any potential supply of faulty or contaminated products;

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 pension plans sponsored by us and others in our control group;

risks related to strategic transactions, including completed and future acquisitions or dispositions;

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 information security, including a cyber security breach or a failure of one or more of our information technology systems, networks, processes or service providers;

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

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 increases in interest rates which would increase the cost of servicing our variable rate debt instruments.

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.
Overview
RGHL was incorporated on May 30, 2006 under the Companies Act 1993 of New Zealand. 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 five segments: Reynolds Consumer Products, Pactiv Foodservice, Graham Packaging, Evergreen and Closures.

On March 13, 2015, we completed the sale of our SIG segment to Onex Corporation. We received net cash proceeds of $4,149 million, including the settlement of final closing adjustments. In November 2016, an additional amount of €150 million was paid by Onex Corporation based on the financial performance of SIG during the fiscal year 2015. In June 2017, an additional amount of €10 million was paid by Onex Corporation based on the financial performance of SIG during fiscal year 2016. All eligible earn-out proceeds have now been received.

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.

Substantial Leverage
The five 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 September 30, 2017, our total indebtedness of $11,546 million was comprised of the outstanding principal amounts of our borrowings. As reflected in our consolidated statement of financial position, we had total borrowings of $11,492 million, consisting of total indebtedness net of unamortized transaction costs, original issue discounts and embedded derivatives. For more information regarding our external borrowings, refer

4



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.”

Raw Materials and Energy Prices
Our results of operations, and the gross margins corresponding to each of our segments, are impacted by changes in the costs of our raw materials and energy prices. The primary raw materials used to manufacture our products are plastic 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):

Reynolds Consumer Products — resin, aluminum

Pactiv Foodservice — resin, paperboard, aluminum

Graham Packaging — resin

Evergreen — fiber, resin

Closures — 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.

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.

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.

Refer to page 2 under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information related to this financial measure.

Revenue. Revenue decreased by $16 million, or 1%.The decrease was primarily due to lower overall sales volume at Pactiv Foodservice and Graham Packaging, partially offset by higher sales volume at Evergreen and Closures. Revenue was also unfavorably impacted by business divestitures at Pactiv Foodservice. These decreases were partially offset by higher pricing largely as a result of the pass-through of higher raw material costs to customers.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales decreased by $4 million. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales volume at Pactiv Foodservice and Graham Packaging, partially offset by higher sales volume at Evergreen and Closures. The decrease also resulted from business divestitures at Pactiv Foodservice and lower depreciation expense. These decreases were partially offset by net unfavorable raw material costs, higher manufacturing costs and an $11 million non-cash reduction in the multi-employer pension plan withdrawal liability in the prior year period.

Selling, Marketing and Distribution Expenses/General and Administration Expenses. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses and general and administration expenses decreased by $18 million, or 6%. The decrease was primarily due to lower employee-related, advertising and operational process engineering-related consultancy costs.

Net Other. Net other changed by $22 million, resulting in net other income of $6 million. The change was primarily due to a favorable change in unrealized gains and losses on derivatives, lower asset impairment charges and a favorable foreign currency impact.

Net Financial Income (Expenses). Net financial income changed by $193 million, resulting in net financial expenses of $150 million. The change was primarily due to a favorable gain of $240 million in the fair value of embedded derivatives in the prior year period, partially offset by a $41 million decrease in interest expense due to the repayment of borrowings.

Income Tax. We recognized income tax expense of $56 million on income before income tax of $191 million (an effective tax rate of 29%) in the three month period ended September 30, 2017 as compared to income tax expense of $101 million on income before income tax of $356 million (an effective tax rate of 28%) for the three month period ended September 30, 2016. The effective tax rate in both periods reflects (i) changes in the mix of book income and losses taxed at varying rates among the jurisdictions in which the RGHL Group operates and (ii) the inability to realize a tax benefit for losses in certain jurisdictions. For further information, including a reconciliation of income tax expense, refer to note 9.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased by $4 million, or 2%. The decrease was primarily due to certain assets becoming fully depreciated or amortized at Pactiv Foodservice and Graham Packaging.


7



Discontinued Operations, Net of Income Tax. Profit (loss) from discontinued operations changed by $3 million to a loss of $1 million. These amounts were primarily due to an increase in an indemnification reserve in the current year period and the foreign currency impact on the euro-denominated consideration receivable in the prior year period.

Revenue. Total segment revenue increased by $12 million, or 2%. The increase was primarily due to higher pricing reflecting higher raw material costs.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by $18 million, or 3%. This increase was primarily driven by higher raw material costs. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, raw material costs accounted for 68% and 66% of Reynolds Consumer Products’ cost of sales, respectively.

Selling, Marketing and Distribution Expenses/General and Administration Expenses. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses and general and administration expenses decreased by $11 million, or 13%. The decrease was primarily due to lower advertising costs.

Net Other. Net other income increased by $3 million to $4 million. The increase was primarily due to a favorable change in unrealized gains and losses on derivatives. This item has been included in the segment’s Adjusted EBITDA calculation.

Revenue. Total segment revenue decreased by $3 million. The decrease was primarily due to unfavorable sales volume across the ongoing business and business divestitures. These decreases were partially offset by higher pricing passed through, net of product mix impacts, and a favorable foreign currency impact.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales decreased by $7 million, or 1%. The decrease was primarily due to decreased sales volume from ongoing business and lower costs due to business divestitures. These decreases were partially offset by higher raw material costs and higher manufacturing costs. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, raw material costs accounted for 58% and 57% of Pactiv Foodservice’s cost of sales, respectively.

Selling, Marketing and Distribution Expenses/General and Administration Expenses. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses and general and administration expenses decreased by $12 million, or 15%. The decrease was primarily due to lower operational process engineering-related consultancy costs and lower employee-related costs as a result of prior year restructuring initiatives.

Net Other. Net other changed by $12 million to net other income of $5 million. The change was primarily due to $5 million of lower asset impairment charges and a $4 million increase in unrealized gains on derivatives. These items have been included in the segment’s Adjusted EBITDA calculation.

Revenue. Total segment revenue increased by $4 million, or 1%. Revenue from liquid packaging board increased primarily due to higher sales volume. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in revenue from carton packaging, primarily due to lower sales volume partially offset by increased pricing, and a decrease in revenue from paper products, primarily due to lower pricing as a result of ongoing market conditions partially offset by higher sales volume.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by $12 million, or 4%. The increase was primarily due to a $10 million non-cash reduction in the multi-employer pension plan withdrawal liability in the prior year period. This item has been included in the segment’s prior year period Adjusted EBITDA calculation. Additionally, cost of sales increased due to the previously discussed overall increase in sales volume, partially offset by favorable operating results due to the timing of planned maintenance outages. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, raw material costs accounted for 41% of Evergreen’s cost of sales.

Selling, Marketing and Distribution Expenses/General and Administration Expenses. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses and general and administration expenses decreased by $2 million, or 9%.

Net Other. Net other changed by $3 million, resulting in net other income of $3 million.

Selling, Marketing and Distribution Expenses/General and Administration Expenses. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses and general and administration expenses increased by $7 million, or 26%. The increase was primarily due to a $5 million pension settlement charge incurred by the corporate sponsor of the Pactiv Retirement Plan. This was in connection with the fund’s purchase of a group annuity contract from an insurance company to settle $308 million of the outstanding pension benefit obligation under the plan. For further information, refer to note 13. This item has been included in the segment’s Adjusted EBITDA calculation.

Net Other. Net other expenses decreased by $3 million to $4 million.

Refer to page 2 under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information related to this financial measure.

Revenue. Revenue decreased by $174 million, or 2%. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales volume across all segments, business divestitures at Pactiv Foodservice and an unfavorable change in foreign currency rates, partially offset by higher pricing largely as a result of the pass-through of higher raw material costs to customers.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales decreased by $100 million, or 2%. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales volume across all segments, business divestitures at Pactiv Foodservice, lower depreciation expense, lower restructuring costs and favorable foreign currency rates. The decreases were partially offset by net unfavorable raw material costs and higher manufacturing costs.

Selling, Marketing and Distribution Expenses/General and Administration Expenses. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses and general and administration expenses decreased by $35 million, or 4%. The decrease was primarily due to lower operational process engineering-related consultancy and employee-related costs.

Net Other. Net other expenses decreased by $5 million to $31 million. The decrease was due to lower asset impairment charges and a favorable foreign currency impact, partially offset by a $13 million loss on the sale of businesses and an $8 million unfavorable change in unrealized gains and losses on derivatives.

Net Financial Income (Expenses). Net financial expenses increased by $112 million to $424 million. The increase was primarily due to an unfavorable change of $315 million in the fair value of embedded derivatives and a $39 million unfavorable foreign currency impact. These increases were partially offset by a $196 million decrease in interest expense, primarily as a result of the debt repayments and a $40 million decrease in losses on extinguishment of debt compared to the prior year period. For more information regarding financial income (expenses) and borrowings, refer to notes 8 and 12.

Income Tax. We recognized income tax expense of $147 million on income before income tax of $488 million (an effective tax rate of 30%) in the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 as compared to income tax expense of $212 million on income before income tax of $634 million (an effective tax rate of 33%) for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016. The effective tax rate in both periods reflects (i) changes in the mix of book income and losses taxed at varying rates among the jurisdictions in which the RGHL Group operates and (ii) the inability to realize a tax benefit for losses in certain jurisdictions. The 2017 effective tax rate also reflects the establishment of a $35 million deferred tax asset for unused tax losses previously unrecognized. For further information, including a reconciliation of income tax expense, refer to note 9.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased by $23 million. The decrease was primarily due to certain assets becoming fully depreciated or amortized at Pactiv Foodservice and Graham Packaging.

Discontinued Operations, Net of Income Tax. Profit from discontinued operations decreased by $7 million. These amounts were primarily due to the foreign currency impact on the euro-denominated consideration receivable.

Revenue. Total segment revenue was flat. Price increases resulting from higher raw material costs were offset by a decrease in sales volume.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by $25 million, or 2%. The increase was primarily due to higher raw material costs and higher manufacturing costs, partially offset by lower sales volume. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, raw material costs accounted for 66% and 65% of Reynolds Consumer Products’ cost of sales, respectively.

Selling, Marketing and Distribution Expenses/General and Administration Expenses. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses and general and administration expenses decreased by $3 million, or 1%.

Net Other. Net other income decreased by $4 million to $5 million. The decrease was primarily due to an unfavorable change in unrealized gains and losses on derivatives. This item has been included in the segment’s Adjusted EBITDA calculation.

Revenue. Total segment revenue decreased by $36 million, or 1%. The decrease was primarily due to business divestitures, unfavorable sales volume across the ongoing business and an unfavorable foreign currency impact. These decreases were partially offset by higher pricing passed through to customers, net of product mix impacts.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales decreased by $36 million, or 2%. The decrease was primarily due to lower costs due to business divestitures, lower depreciation expense, lower restructuring costs and a favorable foreign currency impact. These decreases were partially offset by higher raw material costs and higher manufacturing costs. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, raw material costs accounted for 58% and 57% of Pactiv Foodservice’s cost of sales, respectively.

Selling, Marketing and Distribution Expenses/General and Administration Expenses. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses and general and administration expenses decreased by $27 million, or 12%. The decrease was primarily due to lower operational process engineering-related consultancy costs and lower employee-related costs as a result of prior year restructuring initiatives as well as business divestitures.

Net Other. Net other expenses increased by $4 million to $16 million. The increase was primarily due to an $11 million loss on sale of businesses. This item has been included in the segment’s Adjusted EBITDA calculation.

Revenue. Revenue decreased by $78 million, or 5%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in sales volume and a decline in pricing. The decrease in sales volume was primarily due to net contract losses and overall market demand.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales decreased by $66 million, or 5%. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales volume, lower raw material costs and lower depreciation expense as certain assets became fully depreciated. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, raw material costs accounted for 52% and 53% of Graham Packaging’s cost of sales, respectively.

Selling, Marketing and Distribution Expenses/General and Administration Expenses. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses and general and administration expenses decreased by $9 million, or 6%. The decrease was primarily due to cost savings initiatives and a decrease in restructuring costs.

Net Other. Net other expenses decreased by $3 million to $4 million. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in asset impairment charges, partially offset by a loss on the sale of a business in the current year period. These items have been included in the segment’s Adjusted EBITDA calculation.

Revenue. Total segment revenue decreased by $31 million, or 3%. Revenue from paper products decreased by $31 million, primarily due to lower sales volume and lower pricing as a result of ongoing market conditions. Revenue from carton packaging decreased $20 million, primarily due to lower sales volume partially offset by increased pricing. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in revenue of $20 million from liquid packaging board, primarily due to higher sales volume partially offset by lower pricing as a result of competitive pressures within the liquid packaging board market.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales decreased by $7 million, or 1%. The decrease was primarily due to the previously discussed overall decline in sales volume and favorable operating results due to the timing of planned maintenance outages. The prior year period included a non-cash reduction in the multi-employer pension plan withdrawal liability. This item has been included in the segment’s Adjusted EBITDA calculation. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, raw material costs accounted for 41% of Evergreen’s cost of sales.

Selling, Marketing and Distribution Expenses/General and Administration Expenses. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses and general and administration expenses decreased by $6 million, or 9%.

Net Other. Net other income decreased by $2 million to $3 million.

Revenue. Total segment revenue decreased by $28 million, or 4%. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales volume. Revenue also decreased due to lower pricing primarily as a result of competitive pressures and an unfavorable foreign currency impact.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales decreased by $15 million, or 3%. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales volume and a favorable foreign currency impact. These decreases were partially offset by higher raw material costs, mostly resin. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, raw material costs accounted for 59% of Closures’ cost of sales.

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%.

Net Other. Net other expenses decreased by $4 million to $2 million. The decrease was primarily due to a favorable foreign currency impact.

Differences Between the RGHL Group and the Beverage Packaging Group Results of Operations
The indentures governing certain of our outstanding notes also require us to provide certain information for Beverage Packaging Holdings (Luxembourg) I S.A. and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Beverage Packaging Group"). The information presented in the RGHL Group unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is substantially equivalent to the information that would be presented in the Beverage Packaging Group financial statements. Accordingly, separate Beverage Packaging Group financial statements are not included 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the revenue and gross profit amounts that would be included in the Beverage Packaging Group financial statements. The differences in the profit (loss) before income tax are primarily due to related party interest income and expenses that are recognized by RGHL, intercompany amounts between RGHL and the members of the Beverage Packaging Group 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, as applicable in a given period.

Differences between the RGHL Group statement of financial position and the financial position of the Beverage Packaging Group are primarily attributable to the related party receivables and borrowings of RGHL and balances between RGHL and the Beverage Packaging Group.

Differences between the RGHL Group statement of cash flows and the cash flows of the Beverage Packaging Group primarily relate to the management fee, loans with RGHL and transactions associated with share capital.

Cash Flows from (used in) Operating Activities
Cash from operating activities was $451 million compared to cash from operating activities of $629 million in the prior year period. The current year period includes a lower Adjusted EBITDA contribution, an increase of $231 million in the build of working capital over the prior year period, an increase in employee benefit and provision payments as well as an increase in income tax payments in the current year period. These decreases in cash from operating activities were partially offset by a decrease of $205 million in interest payments due to a reduction in outstanding principal borrowings amounts as well as a reduction of $59 million in redemption premium payments.
Cash Flows from (used in) Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $276 million compared to cash used in investing activities of $220 million in the prior year period. The current year period includes an increase of $72 million in capital expenditures. Refer to “— Capital Expenditures” for additional information regarding expenditures on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

Refer to note 12 of the RGHL Group’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report for additional information related to each of our borrowings.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures were $287 million compared to $215 million in the prior year period. The increase reflects higher investments made in the current year period.

We incurred $324 million in capital expenditures in 2016 and we expect to incur approximately $400 million in capital expenditures during 2017 (excluding acquisitions) largely to support business growth, cost reduction and business maintenance. We expect to fund these expenditures with cash flows from operations. Actual capital expenditures may differ.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have substantial debt and debt service obligations. As of September 30, 2017, our total indebtedness of $11,546 million was comprised of the outstanding principal amounts of our borrowings.

Our sources of liquidity for the future are expected to be our existing cash resources, cash flows from operations, drawings under the revolving credit facility of our Credit Agreement, borrowings under the 2017 Securitization Facility (as defined below) and local working capital facilities. In addition to our cash and cash equivalents, as of September 30, 2017, we had $238 million available for drawing under our revolving credit facility. Our revolving credit facility matures in August 2021.

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

On February 7, 2017, the RGHL Group entered into an incremental assumption agreement and incurred $3,315 million and €249 million of term loans thereunder. The proceeds of these incremental term loans were used to repay in full the outstanding U.S. and European term loans under the Credit Agreement. This resulted in a 0.25% per annum reduction in the margin applicable to the outstanding U.S. and European term loans to 3.000% per annum and 3.500% per annum, respectively, and a reduction in the LIBOR floor of the U.S. term loans by 100 basis points to 0.000% per annum.

On February 15, 2017, the RGHL Group redeemed all of the $345 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of 8.250% Senior Notes due 2021 at a redemption price of 102.750% plus accrued and unpaid interest.

On March 22, 2017, the RGHL Group entered into a receivables loan and security agreement with the lenders governing the securitization facility (the “2017 Securitization Facility”), of which $452 million was drawn on the closing date. The proceeds and cash were used to repay and extinguish all amounts outstanding under the previous securitization facility and pay transaction fees and expenses. The 2017 Securitization Facility matures on March 22, 2022. Consistent with the previous facility: (i) the amount that can be borrowed is calculated by reference to a funding base determined by the amount of eligible trade receivables; (ii) the 2017 Securitization Facility is secured by all of the assets of the borrower, which are primarily the eligible trade receivables and cash; and (iii) the terms of the arrangement do not result in the derecognition of the trade receivables by the RGHL Group. The interest rate margin on the 2017 Securitization Facility was reduced to 1.75% per annum from 1.90% per annum.

On June 15, 2017, the RGHL Group repaid upon maturity all of the $300 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of 8.125% Debentures due 2017.

On September 29, 2017, the interest rate margin applicable to the outstanding U.S. and European term loans was reduced by 0.25% per annum to 2.750% per annum and 3.250% per annum, respectively, due to certain upgrades in RGHL’s credit rating.

Our annualized cash interest obligations on our outstanding indebtedness are expected to be approximately $602 million, assuming interest on our floating rate debt continues to accrue at the current applicable interest rates and there is no change in the current euro-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate for euro-denominated interest obligations. In addition, $16 million of 6.400% Notes due 2018 mature on January 15, 2018. We expect to meet our debt service obligations with our existing cash resources and cash flows from operations. Refer to note 12 of the RGHL Group’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report for details related to our debt and related repayment terms.

Under the indentures governing the Reynolds 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 certain of 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, the liens securing any secured indebtedness do not exceed a 4.50 to 1.00 secured leverage ratio and (iii) under the indentures governing the 5.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2023 and the Floating Rate Senior Secured Notes due 2021, the liens securing first lien secured indebtedness do not exceed a 4.50 to 1.00 senior secured first lien leverage ratio.

Under the Credit Agreement, 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 Credit Agreement and senior secured or unsecured 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 Credit Agreement’s total secured leverage ratio covenant. In addition, we may incur incremental senior secured indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and senior secured notes in an unlimited amount so long as our total secured leverage ratio does not exceed 4.50 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis and (in the case of incremental senior secured indebtedness under the Credit Agreement only) we are in pro forma compliance with the total secured leverage ratio covenant included in the Credit Agreement. The incurrence of unsecured indebtedness, including the issuance of senior notes, and unsecured subordinated indebtedness is also permitted if the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant is at least 2.00 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis.

The Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the Reynolds Notes generally allow subsidiaries of RGHL to transfer funds in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances within the RGHL Group.

We believe that our cash flows from operations and 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 and our other outstanding indebtedness, including the Reynolds Notes. We expect to remain in compliance with our covenants.

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

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

We or our affiliates may from time to time seek to retire or repurchase our outstanding indebtedness in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such transactions, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other considerations.

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 income (expenses) in the statement of comprehensive income as a component of profit or loss. As of September 30, 2017, our non-current derivative asset associated with embedded derivatives was $374 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 as of September 30, 2017.

As of September 30, 2017, our liabilities for pensions, post-employment benefits and uncertain tax positions totaled $1,044 million. We are unable to determine the ultimate timing of these liabilities; therefore, we have excluded these amounts from the contractual obligations table above.

The RGHL Group is required to make annual prepayments of term loans with up to 50% of excess cash flow (which will be reduced to 25% or 0% if specified senior secured first lien leverage ratios are met) as determined in accordance with the Credit Agreement. No excess cash flow prepayments will be due in 2017 for the year ended December 31, 2016.

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 Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the financing agreements) for the previous year. The Credit Agreement permits the RGHL Group to pay an additional Management Fee of up to $22 million in respect of the 2009 and 2010 financial years. No amount has been accrued in respect of the remaining 2009 and 2010 permitted Management Fee of up to $22 million.

As part of the agreements for the sale of various businesses, the RGHL Group has provided certain warranties and indemnities to the respective purchasers as set out in the respective sale agreements. These warranties and indemnities are subject to various terms and conditions affecting the duration and total amount of the indemnities. As of September 30, 2017, the RGHL Group is not aware of any material claims under these agreements that would give rise to an additional liability. However, if such claims arise in the future, they could have a material effect on the RGHL Group’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Other than operating leases entered into in the normal course of business, we have no material off-balance sheet obligations.

Accounting Principles
Our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee 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.

In connection with the goodwill impairment test for the year ended December 31, 2016, the RGHL Group determined that Graham Packaging’s goodwill was not impaired, but the value of the segment exceeded its carrying amount of $3.2 billion by approximately 5%. A change of 3% in the forecasted EBITDA, forecasted cash flows or discount rate or a 1% change in the estimated earnings multiple for Graham Packaging could result in a goodwill impairment. No triggering events that would require further testing of goodwill impairment were identified during the nine month period ended September 30, 2017.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to note 2.2 of the RGHL Group’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report for information regarding new and revised accounting standards and interpretations.

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, interest rate swaps 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, the costs associated with entering into such arrangements and our use of other risk

25



management methods, such as netting exposures for foreign currency exchange risk and establishing sales arrangements that permit the pass-through of changes in commodity prices to customers. 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 September 30, 2017. 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 U.S. dollars and euros that are drawn under our Floating Rate Senior Secured Notes, our Credit Agreement and our 2017 Securitization Facility. As of September 30, 2017, the Floating Rate Senior Secured Notes accrued interest at a floating rate with no floor. As of September 30, 2017, the Credit Agreement included interest rate floors of 0.0% per annum on the revolving loan and the U.S. and European term loans. As of September 30, 2017, the 2017 Securitization Facility accrued interest at a floating rate with no floor.

The underlying rate for our Floating Rate Senior Secured Notes due 2021 is the three-month Dollar LIBO Rate. As of September 30, 2017, the applicable three-month Dollar LIBO Rate was 1.30%. In July 2016, the RGHL Group entered into a $750 million interest rate swap agreement to mitigate the interest rate risk exposure of the Floating Rate Senior Secured Notes due 2021. While the RGHL Group has elected not to adopt hedge accounting, the economic effect of this derivative is that the effective interest rate on the Floating Rate Senior Secured Notes due 2021 is fixed at 4.670% from October 15, 2016.

The underlying rates for our Credit Agreement are the one-month LIBOR and EURIBOR, and as of September 30, 2017 the applicable rates were 1.23% and (0.37%), respectively. Based on our outstanding debt commitments as of September 30, 2017, 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 $33 million increase in interest expense on the U.S. term loan and a $2 million increase in interest expense on the European term loan under our Credit Agreement. A 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would result in a $33 million decrease in interest expense on the U.S. term loan and would have no impact on interest expense for the European term loan due to the EURIBOR floor under our Credit Agreement.

The underlying rate for our 2017 Securitization Facility is the one-month LIBOR. As of September 30, 2017, the applicable one-month LIBOR was 1.24%. Based on our outstanding debt commitments under our 2017 Securitization Facility as of September 30, 2017, a one-year timeframe and all other variables remaining constant, a 100 basis point increase (decrease) in the underlying interest rates would result in a $4 million increase (decrease) in interest expense.

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. We are also exposed to foreign currency exchange risk on certain intercompany borrowings between certain of our entities with different functional currencies.

In accordance with our treasury policy, we take advantage of natural offsets to the extent possible. On a limited basis, we use contracts to hedge residual foreign currency exchange risk arising from receipts and payments denominated in foreign currencies. We generally do not hedge our exposure to translation gains or losses in respect of our non-U.S. dollar functional currency assets or liabilities. 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 September 30, 2017.

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 September 30, 2017, the estimated fair values of the outstanding foreign currency exchange derivative contracts were a net liability of less than $1 million. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, we recognized a $1 million unrealized loss and a $1 million realized loss in net other income (expenses) in the profit or loss component of the statement of comprehensive income related to foreign currency exchange derivatives.

A 10% upward (downward) movement in the price curve used to value the foreign currency derivative contracts, applied as of September 30, 2017, would have resulted in an increase (decrease) of less than $1 million in unrealized losses recognized in the statement of comprehensive income assuming all other variables remain constant.

Commodity Risk

We are exposed to commodity and other price risk principally from the purchase of resin (and its components), natural gas, electricity, aluminum and diesel. 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 reduce our exposure to commodity price fluctuations. These derivatives are implemented to either (a) mitigate the impact of the lag in timing between when raw material costs change and when we can pass on these raw material costs changes to our customers or (b) fix our input costs for a period of time. The following table provides the details of our outstanding commodity derivative contracts as of September 30, 2017.

The fair values of the commodity 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 September 30, 2017, the estimated fair values of the outstanding commodity derivative contracts were a net asset of $8 million. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, we recognized a $4 million unrealized gain in net other income (expenses) in the profit or loss component of the statement of comprehensive income and a $9 million realized gain as a component of cost of sales in the statement of comprehensive income related to commodity derivatives.

A 10% upward (downward) movement in the price curve used to value the commodity derivative contracts, applied as of September 30, 2017, would have resulted in an increase (decrease) of $1 million in unrealized gains recognized in the statement of comprehensive income assuming all other variables remain constant.

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, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure. 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.

Significant non-cash financing and investing activities

In August 2017, Rank Group Limited repaid $24 million of the related party loan receivable balance and the Group, by way of a payment direction, repaid $23 million of outstanding related party trade payable balances due to Rank Group Limited and $1 million of outstanding related party borrowings with Packaging Holdings Limited.    

In February 2017, the Group refinanced its Credit Agreement as discussed further in note 12. The refinancing resulted in no actual cash flows other than the payment of fees, which is included above in financing cash flows as a payment of debt transaction costs. The principal amount outstanding at the time of the refinancing was $3,583 million.






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.

Reynolds Group Holdings Limited
Notes to the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017


1.Reporting entity

Reynolds Group Holdings Limited (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in New Zealand and registered under the Companies Act 1993.

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2017 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries and their interests in associates and jointly controlled entities. Collectively, these entities are referred to as the “Group.”

The address of the registered office of the Company is c/o: Rank Group Limited, Level 9, 148 Quay Street, Auckland 1010, New Zealand.

2.    Basis of preparation

2.1    Statement of compliance

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“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, 2016. The December 31, 2016 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, 2016, but does not include all of the disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors (the “Directors”) on October 30, 2017 in Chicago, Illinois (October 31, 2017 in Auckland, New Zealand).

2.2    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, 2016.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements
    
In June 2017, the IASB issued IFRIC Interpretation 23, “Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments.” IFRIC 23 is to be applied while performing the determination of taxable profit or loss, tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments under IAS 12. According to IFRIC 23, companies need to determine the probability of the relevant tax authority accepting each tax treatment, or group of tax treatments, that the companies have used or plan to use in their income tax filing which has to be considered to compute the most likely amount or the expected value of the tax treatment when determining taxable profit or loss, tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates. The interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, although early adoption is permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard.

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 “Leases.” IFRS 16 contains a revised lease recognition framework. The new standard will require (i) a financial liability to be recognized for the present value of the future lease payments and (ii) a non-current asset to be recognized representing the right to use the leased asset. The effective date of the new standard is January 1, 2019. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard.    

In July 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. It also includes guidance on hedge accounting and impairment testing of financial instruments. IFRS 9 will be effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Group does not plan the early adoption of this new standard. The adoption of this new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements.

In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” IFRS 15 contains a revised revenue recognition framework. The effective date of the new standard is January 1, 2018. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard.

Upon further evaluation of the Group’s customer arrangements, approximately 25% to 35% of the Group’s revenue is generated from the sale of goods manufactured to customer specifications. Typically, these customer-specific goods cannot be sold to any other customer and therefore have no alternative use. Currently, revenue for these customer-specific goods is recognized upon delivery to the customer. Under IFRS 15, revenue from goods with no alternative use is expected to be recognized prior to shipment. Based on the Group’s ongoing evaluation, this could result in earlier recognition of revenue than under current guidance for those types of customer arrangements. The Group is currently assessing the impact of any change in the timing of revenue recognition. For other types of goods, the timing of revenue recognition is not expected to change.
IFRS 15 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Group expects to adopt the requirements of IFRS 15 under the modified retrospective transition method on January 1, 2018, with no change to the comparative financial information. The cumulative impact of the transition adjustment will be recognized in the statement of financial position as of January 1, 2018. Under this transition method, the Group will provide supplemental additional disclosure to highlight the impact of the requirements of the new standard.

The Group is continuing to evaluate the new disclosure requirements contained in IFRS 15.

Reynolds Group Holdings Limited
Notes to the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017

There have been no other 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, 2016.

2.3    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, 2016.
In connection with the goodwill impairment test for the year ended December 31, 2016, the Group determined that Graham Packaging’s goodwill was not impaired, but the value of the segment exceeded its carrying amount of $3.2 billion by approximately 5%. A change of 3% in the forecasted EBITDA, forecasted cash flows or discount rate or a 1% change in the estimated earnings multiple for Graham Packaging could result in a goodwill impairment. No triggering events that would require further testing of goodwill impairment were identified during the nine month period ended September 30, 2017.

3.    Financial risk management

3.1     Liquidity risk

The Group’s contractual cash flows related to total borrowings as of September 30, 2017 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 September 30, 2017*

1,335

 
6,056

*
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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Trade and other payables, excluding accrued interest, that are due in less than one year were $1,037 million and $1,031 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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 within 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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 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 nine month period ended September 30, 2017. 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 or benefit, net financial income or 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 not distributed in cash.

Segment assets and liabilities exclude intercompany 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.

5.    Seasonality

The Group’s business is impacted by seasonal fluctuations.

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 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 of bottled beverages during the summer months, most significantly in North America.

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 addition, 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 during the second and third quarters.

7.    Discontinued operations

On March 13, 2015, the sale of the SIG segment to Onex Corporation was finalized. Net proceeds of $4,149 million were received, including the settlement of final closing adjustments. In November 2016, an additional amount of €150 million was paid by Onex Corporation based on the financial performance of SIG during fiscal year 2015. In June 2017, an additional amount of €10 million was paid by Onex Corporation based on the financial performance of SIG during fiscal year 2016. All eligible earn-out proceeds have now been collected.

The effective tax rates for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 represent the Group’s estimate of the effective rates expected to be applicable for the respective full fiscal years, adjusted for any discrete events which are recorded in the period that they occur.

The period-over-period changes in the effective tax rate reflect (i) the establishment in 2017 of a $35 million deferred tax asset for unused tax losses previously unrecognized, (ii) changes in the mix of book income and losses taxed at varying rates among the jurisdictions in which the Group operates and (iii) the inability to realize a tax benefit for losses in certain jurisdictions. The deferred tax asset in respect of previously unrecognized tax losses resulted from a reassessment of recoverability.

In addition to the above amounts, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, the Group has recognized tax expense of $36 million and $39 million, respectively, directly in other comprehensive income (three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016: tax expense of $15 million and tax benefit of $90 million, respectively).

Reynolds Group Holdings Limited
Notes to the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017

(a)        Securitization Facility
        
On March 22, 2017, the Group entered into a new $600 million securitization facility (the “2017 Securitization Facility”), of which $452 million was drawn on the closing date. The proceeds and cash were used to repay and extinguish all amounts outstanding under the previous securitization facility and pay transaction fees and expenses. The 2017 Securitization Facility matures on March 22, 2022. Consistent with the previous facility: (i) the amount that can be borrowed is calculated by reference to a funding base determined by the amount of eligible trade receivables; (ii) the 2017 Securitization Facility is secured by all of the assets of the borrower, which are primarily the eligible trade receivables and cash; and (iii) the terms of the arrangement do not result in the derecognition of the trade receivables by the Group. The 2017 Securitization Facility has an interest rate equal to one-month LIBOR with no floor, plus a margin of 1.75% per annum, which was reduced from 1.90% per annum under the previous facility. As of September 30, 2017, $420 million was drawn under the 2017 Securitization Facility.

(b)         Credit Agreement

The Company and certain members of the Group are parties to a senior secured credit agreement dated September 28, 2012 as amended on November 27, 2013, December 27, 2013, February 25, 2015, August 5, 2016, October 4, 2016 and February 7, 2017 (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement comprises the following term and revolving tranches:

The Revolving Tranche was utilized in the form of bank guarantees and letters of credit.

On February 7, 2017, the Group entered into an incremental assumption agreement and incurred $3,315 million and €249 million of term loans thereunder. The proceeds of these incremental term loans were used to repay in full the outstanding U.S. and European term loans under the Credit Agreement. This resulted in a 0.25% per annum reduction in the margin applicable to the outstanding U.S. and European term loans to 3.000% per annum and 3.500% per annum, respectively, and a reduction in the LIBOR floor of the U.S. term loans by 100 basis points to 0.000% per annum.

Refer to note 8 for the loss recognized on the extinguishment of borrowings as a result of the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs.
On September 29, 2017, the interest rate margin applicable to the outstanding U.S. and European term loans was reduced by 0.25% per annum to 2.750% per annum and 3.250% per annum, respectively, due to certain upgrades in RGHL’s credit rating.

Indebtedness under the 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, as of the February 7, 2017 amendment, in respect of the term loans. The borrowers are required to make annual prepayments of term loans with up to 50% of excess cash flow (which will be reduced to 25% or 0% if specified senior secured first lien leverage ratios are met) as determined in accordance with the Credit Agreement. No excess cash flow prepayments were due in 2016 for the year ended December 31, 2015 or will be due in 2017 for the year ended December 31, 2016.

(c)        Reynolds Notes

The maturity and interest payment dates of the Group’s outstanding borrowings as of September 30, 2017 issued by Reynolds Group Issuer LLC, Reynolds Group Issuer Inc. and Reynolds Group Issuer (Luxembourg) S.A. (together, the “Reynolds Notes Issuers”) are summarized below:

(1)
The Floating Rate Senior Secured Notes due 2021 were issued at an issue price of 99.000% and have an interest rate equal to three-month U.S. LIBOR plus 3.500% reset quarterly. In July 2016, the Group entered into an interest rate swap agreement to mitigate the interest rate risk exposure of the Floating Rate Senior Secured Noted due 2021. While the Group has elected not to adopt hedge accounting, the economic effect of this derivative is that the effective interest rate on the Floating Rate Senior Secured Notes due 2021 is 4.670% from October 15, 2016.
(2)
$250 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2023 were issued at an issue price of 103.500%.

These facilities bear interest at floating or fixed rates.

As of September 30, 2017, the Group had local working capital facilities in a number of jurisdictions which are secured by the collateral under the Credit Agreement and the Reynolds Senior Secured Notes and by certain other assets. These facilities rank pari passu with the obligations under the Credit Agreement and under the Reynolds Senior Secured Notes.

13.    Employee benefits

In September 2017, the Group recorded a $5 million pension settlement charge in general and administration expenses in connection with the purchase of a group annuity contract from an insurance company to settle $308 million of the outstanding pension benefit obligation under the Pactiv Retirement Plan.

The purchase was funded directly by plan assets.

Other than as disclosed herein, the nature of the Group’s related party relationships, balances and transactions as of and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 are consistent with the information presented in note 21 of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.

15.    Contingencies

Management fee


F-22

Reynolds Group Holdings Limited
Notes to the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017

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 Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the financing agreements) for the previous year.

The Credit Agreement permits the Group to pay an additional Management Fee of up to $22 million in respect of the 2009 and 2010 financial years. No amount has been accrued in respect of the remaining 2009 and 2010 permitted Management Fee of up to $22 million.

Security and guarantee arrangements

Certain members of the Group have entered into guarantee and security arrangements in respect of the Group's indebtedness (refer to note 12 for additional information).

Other matters

The Group is party to litigation, legal proceedings and tax examinations arising from its operations. The Group establishes provisions for claims and proceedings that constitute a present obligation when it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of such obligation can be made. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of any of these matters, based on management's assessment of the facts and circumstances now known, management does not believe any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, actual outcomes may differ from those expected and could have a material effect on the Group's financial position, results of operations or cash flows in a particular future period. As of September 30, 2017, except for amounts provided, there were no legal proceedings pending other than those for which the Group has determined that the possibility of a material outflow is remote.

As part of the agreements for the sale of various businesses, the Group has provided certain warranties and indemnities to the respective purchasers as set out in the respective sale agreements. These warranties and indemnities are subject to various terms and conditions affecting the duration and total amount of the indemnities. As of September 30, 2017, the Group is not aware of any material claims under these agreements that would give rise to an additional liability. However, if such claims arise in the future, they could have a material effect on the Group’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
