The Group’s Research and Development Centre in Hoogeveen, the Netherlands, deploys state of the art design and testing facilities to enable our significant expertise to be used in developing the most suitable solution for any packaging challenge. As a result, our extensive product portfolio ranges from basic corrugated containers through to high-end packaging using high quality printing techniques. As part of the drive towards a more sustainable world, we continually promote the use of paper-based alternatives to plastics and other non-recyclable materials. One of our key product offerings is striking point-of-sale and shelf-ready displays which offer key advantages in terms of minimal use of resources combined with efficient transportation and excellent promotional opportunities for our customers’ products. In this Annual Report, we show just a small sample of the types of packaging solutions that we have successfully developed in close cooperation with our extensive customer base, both local and multinational. 2011 FINAncIAL PeRfoRMAnce OVERVIEW 2011 2010 €m €m Revenue 7,357 6,677 EBITDA before exceptional items and 1,015 904 2 share-based payment expense (‘EBITDA’) EBITDA margin 13.8% 13.5% 2011 T R EPO Operating profit 590 409 R L A NNU Profit before income tax 299 103 A Free cash flow 394 82 Net debt 2,752 3,110 Net debt to EBITDA 2.7x 3.4x SMURFIT KAPPA GROUP SMURFIT KAPPA Basic earnings per share (cent) 93.0 22.9 Pre-exceptional earnings per share (cent) 100.1 59.4 Debt paydown and net debt to EBITDA ratio evolution Net debt (€m) Net debt/EBITDA 3,110 3,061 3,003 3.4 2,921 3.2 3.0 2,752 2.8 2.7 DEC 10 MAR 11 JUN 11 SEP 11 DEC 11 GROUP PROFILE SKG at a Glance Smurfit Kappa Group plc (‘SKG’ or the ‘Group’) is one of the world’s largest integrated manufacturers of paper-based packaging products, with operations in Europe and Latin America. It manufactures, distributes and sells containerboard, corrugated containers and other paper- based packaging products such as solidboard, graphicboard and bag-in-box. During 2011, the Group reorganised the management of its European businesses by operationally 3 merging those of the former Specialties Europe segment into its existing Packaging Europe GROUP SMURFIT KAPPA segment. As a result, the Group now has two segments, Europe and Latin America. The Europe segment, which is highly integrated, includes a system of mills and plants that primarily produces a full line of containerboard that is converted into corrugated containers. The Latin America segment comprises the Group’s forestry, paper, corrugated, paper sack and A folding carton activities in the region. NNU A L R The Group operates in 21 countries in Europe and is the European leader in corrugated EPO packaging, containerboard, solidboard, and solidboard packaging with key positions in several R T other packaging and paper market segments. The Group also has a growing base in Eastern 2011 Europe, a bag-in-box plant in Canada and operates in nine countries in Latin America where it is the only pan-regional operator. In terms of world market positions, the Group is the second largest producer of corrugated packaging. Given the high degree of integration between the mills and its conversion plants, particularly in terms of containerboard, the Group’s end customers are primarily in the corrugated packaging market, which uses the packaging for product protection and product merchandising purposes. The corrugated market is a localised market and corrugated box plants need to be close to customers (generally no more than 250 to 300 kilometres), due to the relatively high cost of transporting the product. Approximately 60% of the Group’s corrugated customers are in the fast moving consumer goods (‘FMCG’) sector (comprising food, beverage, and household consumables), the remainder being split across a wide range of different industries. In 2011, the Group’s Europe and Latin America segments accounted for approximately 82% and 18% of revenue respectively. At the date of this report, the Group owns 37 mills (26 of which produce containerboard), 226 converting plants (most of which convert containerboard into corrugated boxes), 40 recovered fibre facilities (which provide raw material for the Group’s mills) and 28 other production facilities carrying on other related activities. In addition, the Group owns approximately 104,000 hectares of forest plantations in Latin America.
