Rubright of fiscal 2011 that merit reporting in this letter – the eight Chairman and Chief Executive Officer months prior to the acquisition and the four months following the May 27 closing of the acquisition. For the first part of the year, RockTenn performed as our shareholders have come to expect. In short, we performed very well in a period of rising recycled fiber and chemical costs. For the first six months of the year, RockTenn earned a 14% annualized free cash flow return on beginning market equity, slightly lower than the return we earned in all of fiscal 2010. Our corrugated packaging segment earned a 22.3% EBITDA margin, once again the highest of any publicly reported company in our industry, and about 18% higher than our next closest competitors. For the full year, in our consumer 3 RockTenn’s Corrugated Packaging and Recycling Leadership Team With the acquisition of Smurfit-Stone in May 2011, RockTenn acquired 12 containerboard mills with 7 million tons of total annual capacity, 98 converting plants and 31 recycling facilities. These facilities are led by an experienced team well respected in the industry. Pictured here are (clockwise from top left): Mike Exner, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Containerboard Mills; Matt Denton, Senior Vice President, Finance; Mike Oswald, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Recycling and Waste Solutions; Steve Strickland, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Corrugated Container; and Jim Porter, President, 1.

Our merchandising display business also restarted sales growth as our customers’ renewed focus on promotional 2. displays and the cost reductions we had achieved over the last two years enhanced our competitive position and main- tained our margins. In our view, RockTenn’s 2011 GAAP earnings per share of $2.77 represent a remarkable achievement given the accounting treatment of acquisitions, which requires acquired inventory write ups, transaction fee expensing, the write down of assets that we knew we’d close but were required to write up on the opening balance sheet, among others, and the head- winds we faced with rising input costs for fiber, chemicals, energy and freight.
