STAKEL General Counsel and Business Development Senior Vice President Secretary and Latin America PATRICK M. KIVITS and Treasurer President NINA E. BUTLER JAIRO A. LORENZATTO Multi Packaging Solutions Chief Environmental Officer President Brazil DEAR FELLOW STOCKHOLDERS: During the past fiscal year, we’ve witnessed how valuable and essential packaging is to our customers and the world at large. Against an extraordinary backdrop, we acted to navigate an ever-shifting supply chain to meet the demand for essential products and services needed by consumers. We are reminded daily that our solutions enable our customers to package and deliver food, beverages, healthcare products, cleaning products and other essential goods to consumers all over the world. Our incredible WestRock teammates deserve our deep appreciation for their resilience and for their uncompromising attention to safety. The safety of the WestRock team always has been a priority, and faced with the global pandemic, our protocols shifted quickly to help protect our teammates. Our dedicated teammates adapted quickly to these changes so that we could continue to serve our customers, support our communities and help protect the health of people and their families. STEVE VOORHEES We acted to ensure our ability to navigate in an unpredictable market Chief Executive Officer from a position of financial strength. Key to this was the initiation in May 2020 of our Pandemic Action Plan, which included flexibly matching our supply with customer demand, reducing executive and discretionary expenses, reducing capital expenditures and resetting our quarterly dividend. We differentiate ourselves in the marketplace with our ability to provide paper, packaging, machinery and displays – and help manage complex supply chains. Our capabilities and approach are unique in our industry and support our vision to be the premier partner and unrivaled provider of sustainable, winning solutions for our customers. As our customers increase their demand for higher-value, more functional packaging solutions, the mix of our business is shifting toward higher-value packaging solutions and away from lower margin paper markets. As a result of the platform we have built, the actions we have taken during the past year and current market trends, we are very well positioned for success over both the short term and long term. FISCAL 2020 HIGHLIGHTS I’m extremely proud of WestRock’s performance in fiscal 2020. In the face of a challenging, uncertain market environment, we delivered $17.6 billion in net sales, adjusted segment EBITDA of $2.8 billion and net cash provided by operating activities of $2.1 billion. In fiscal 2020, sales of packaging solutions accounted for $12.5 billion, or 71%, of our total sales. Increasing demand for e-commerce, more sustainable fiber-based packaging and digitally-enabled solutions drove organic growth of our packaging solutions volumes to record levels in the September quarter. We generated $1.15 billion in adjusted free cash flow, marking the fifth consecutive year in which we generated more than $1 billion in adjusted free cash flow. We achieved this while reducing total debt by $633 million. We have multiple levers to increase productivity that will help offset anticipated cost inflation and price pressures over the next year and beyond. Core to our productivity results are the contributions of our teammates, hundreds of which are trained in Six Sigma, and who execute projects contributing tens of millions of dollars in efficiency savings each and every year. We are investing in strategic capital projects, including those at the Florence, South Carolina, and Tres Barras, Brazil mills. These projects, when combined with the additional run-rate synergies from the KapStone acquisition, are expected to add more than $125 million of EBITDA in both fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022. All told, fiscal 2020 was highlighted by the incredible efforts of our teammates during the pandemic to stay safe and healthy while nimbly adapting our operations to meet the critical needs of our customers. Working together, we managed through the challenges of this past year while developing and implementing plans to sustain and grow our business for the long term. IMAGINING AND DELIVERING ON A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE COVID-19 has heightened concerns about the environment and the planet. In fact, sustainable packaging features are more impactful today than they were before the pandemic. Sustainable fiber-based packaging is a driving factor with many of our customers as they seek to transition to more sustainable packaging solutions for their customers. We are extremely well positioned to partner with them to meet this growing need. Our commitment to sustainability is part of who we are as a company. Our vision for sustainability, Imagining and Delivering on the Promise of a Sustainable Future, is founded on three main pillars around which we are focusing our attention and resources: Supporting People and Communities Bettering the Planet Innovating for Our Customers and Their Customers Our progress is already evident. For the first time, WestRock was named to the 2020 Dow Jones Sustainability North America and World Indices in recognition of our sustainable business practices. DIVERSITY, INCLUSION, EQUITY AND BELONGING Sadly, the past year included tragic events punctuated by the continued senseless loss of life in the African American community. As we work to support our people and communities, we have developed and are implementing actions that will start with our leadership and ensure that we push for and enable changes that will make a positive difference for our WestRock teammates, their families and our broader communities. Our actions are focused on confronting bias, driving diversity and cultivating equity with a sense of belonging. Everyone at WestRock should feel welcome, heard, valued and safe every day so that we will create our future together to win together over the short and long term. LOOKING AHEAD As we enter fiscal 2021, demand across most of our paper and packaging markets is improving. Over time, we will continue to grow our participation in higher value packaging solutions markets and reduce our participation in lower margin paper markets. We will invest in expanding our commercial, operating and innovation capabilities while building our workplace for the future. Our broad portfolio and capabilities enable us to successfully partner with customers to help them grow their sales, lower their total costs, meet their sustainability goals and manage their risks. I am optimistic
