NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Information at June 30, 2017 and 2016 and for the

three and six months then ended is unaudited)

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation . The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Silgan Holdings Inc., or Silgan, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year.

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2016 has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

Deferred income taxes as of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016 previously included in other liabilities have been presented as a separate line item on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet to conform to current period presentation.

You should read the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Stock Split . On May 3, 2017, our Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock split of our issued common stock. The stock split was effected on May 26, 2017 in the form of a stock dividend. Stockholders of record at the close of business on May 15, 2017 were issued one additional share of common stock for each share of common stock owned on that date. Information pertaining to the number of shares outstanding, per share amounts and stock compensation has been retroactively adjusted in the accompanying financial statements and related footnotes to reflect this stock split for all periods presented, except for the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity reflects the stock split by reclassifying from paid-in capital to common stock an amount equal to the par value of the additional shares issued as a result of the stock split.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued an accounting standards update, or ASU, that amends the guidance for revenue recognition. This amendment contains principles that will require an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods and services to customers at an amount that an entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This amendment permits the use of one of two retrospective transition methods. We will adopt this amendment on January 1, 2018, and we have not yet selected a transition method. The adoption of this amendment may require us to accelerate the recognition of revenue as compared to the current standards for certain customers in cases where we produce products unique to those customers and for which we have an enforceable right of payment for production completed to date. We will continue to assess the impact of this amendment on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that amends existing guidance for certain leases by lessees. This amendment will require an entity to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by long-term leases and to disclose additional quantitative and qualitative information about leasing arrangements. In addition, this amendment clarifies the presentation requirements of the effects of leases in the statement of income and statement of cash flows. This amendment will be effective for us on January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. This amendment is required to be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In August 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that provides guidance for cash flow classification for certain cash receipts and cash payments to address diversity in practice with respect to whether items are classified on the statement of cash flows as either operating, investing or financing activities. This amendment will be effective for us on January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. This amendment is required to be adopted using a retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on our statement of cash flows.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Information at June 30, 2017 and 2016 and for the

three and six months then ended is unaudited)

In January 2017, the FASB issued an ASU that provides guidance to simplify the test for goodwill impairment. This guidance eliminates the requirement to assign the fair value of a reporting unit to each of its assets and liabilities to quantify a goodwill impairment charge. Under this amended guidance, the goodwill impairment charge to be recognized will be determined based on comparing the carrying value of the reporting unit to its fair value. This amendment will be effective for us on January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, and we plan to adopt this amendment when we perform our first goodwill impairment test after January 1, 2017. This amendment is required to be adopted prospectively and is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2017, the FASB issued an ASU that amends the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. This amendment will require an entity to disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net periodic benefit cost, to report the service cost component in the same line item as other compensation costs and to report the other components of net periodic benefit cost (which include interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of prior service cost or credit and actuarial gains and losses) separately and as a line item below operating income on our statement of income. In addition, capitalization of net periodic benefit cost in assets will be limited to the service cost component. This amendment will be effective for us on January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. This amendment is required to be adopted (i) retrospectively with respect to the disaggregation of the service cost component from the other components of net periodic benefit cost and the separate reporting of the other components of net periodic benefit cost outside of operating income and (ii) prospectively with respect to the capitalization in assets of the service cost component. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Note 2. Acquisition

Dispensing Systems Acquisition

On April 6, 2017, we acquired the specialty closures and dispensing systems operations of WestRock Company, now operating under the name Silgan Dispensing Systems, or SDS. SDS is a leading global supplier of highly engineered triggers, pumps, sprayers and dispensing closure solutions for food, health care, garden, home and beauty products. It operates a global network of thirteen facilities across North America, Europe, South America and Asia. SDS represents a strategically important acquisition for us, providing us with an opportunity to expand our closures franchise. SDS is included in our Closures segment as of the acquisition date.

For the year ended December 31, 2016, SDS generated net sales of approximately $570 million . We acquired SDS for a purchase price in cash of $1.022 billion , net of cash acquired. The purchase price is subject to adjustment for working capital, indebtedness and certain other items. We incurred acquisition related costs for SDS totaling $24.4 million , including $9.8 million and $23.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. We funded the purchase price for this acquisition through term and revolving loan borrowings under our amended and restated senior secured credit facility, including a term loan of $800 million . See Note 7 for further information.

The initial purchase price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values at the date of acquisition using valuation techniques including the income, cost and market approaches, primarily using Level 3 inputs (as defined in Note 8). The purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to change pending a final valuation of the assets and liabilities, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, and the related tax impact of any adjustments to such valuations.

The allocated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are summarized as follows (in thousands):



Trade accounts receivable	$	109,494
Inventories	79,705
Property, plant and equipment	253,708
Other intangible assets	245,000
Other assets	40,396
Trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities	(81,783		)
Deferred income taxes	(122,544		)
Other liabilities	(25,340		)
Total identifiable net assets	498,636
Goodwill	523,456
Cash paid at closing, net of cash acquired	$	1,022,092

Goodwill of $523.5 million consists largely of our increased capacity to serve our global customers and achieve operational synergies and has been assigned to our closures segment. A portion of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Other intangible assets consist of customer relationships of $220.0 million with an estimated remaining life of 22 years and technology know-how of $25.0 million with an estimated remaining life of 7 years. Acquired property, plant and equipment are being depreciated on a straight-line basis with estimated remaining lives of up to 35 years.

Our consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 included the results for SDS since the acquisition date. Net sales from the SDS operations of $142.7 million were included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. SDS's income from operations since the acquisition date was $7.7 million , including the pre-tax unfavorable impact of the $11.9 million charge related to the inventory write-up for SDS as a result of purchase accounting in connection with the acquisition.

Pro Forma Information

The following unaudited pro forma financial information includes our historical results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and gives pro forma effect to the SDS acquisition as if it had been completed as of January 1, 2016. The pro forma results of operations include interest expense related to incremental borrowings used to finance the acquisition and adjustments to depreciation and amortization expense for the valuation of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 excludes the unfavorable impact of the initial inventory write-up of $11.9 million before income taxes in each of the periods and acquisition related costs of $9.8 million and $23.0 million before income taxes, respectively. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 includes the unfavorable impact of the initial inventory write-up and acquisition related costs of $11.9 million and $24.4 million before income taxes, respectively. The pro forma results of operations do not give effect to potential synergies or additional costs resulting from the integration of SDS with our existing operations.

Senior Notes Offerings

On February 13, 2017, we issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of our 4¾% Senior Notes due 2025, or the 4¾% Notes, and €650 million aggregate principal amount of our 3¼% Senior Notes due 2025, or the 3¼% Notes, in a private placement in reliance on Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The 4¾% Notes and the 3¼% Notes are general unsecured obligations of Silgan, ranking equal in right of payment with our existing and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness, including the 5% Senior Notes due 2020, or the 5% Notes, and our 5½% Senior Notes due 2022, or the 5½% Notes, and ahead of our existing and future subordinated debt, if any. The 4¾% Notes and the 3¼% Notes are structurally subordinated to Silgan’s secured debt to the extent of the assets securing such debt and effectively subordinated to all obligations of subsidiaries of Silgan.

The 4¾% Notes and the 3¼% Notes will mature on March 15, 2025. Interest on the 4¾% Notes and the 3¼% Notes will be payable semi-annually in cash on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2017. The 4¾% Notes and the 3¼% Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture by and among Silgan, U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, Elavon Financial Services DAC, UK Branch, as paying agent in respect of the 3¼% Notes, and Elavon Financial Services DAC, as registrar and transfer agent in respect of the 3¼% Notes, which indenture contains covenants that are substantially similar to the covenants in the indentures for the 5% Notes and the 5½% Notes.

The 4¾% Notes are redeemable, at our option, in whole or in part, at any time after March 15, 2020, initially at 102.375 percent of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date, declining ratably to 100 percent of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date, on or after March 15, 2022.

The 3¼% Notes are redeemable, at our option, in whole or in part, at any time after March 15, 2020, initially at 101.625 percent of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date, declining ratably to 100 percent of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date, on or after March 15, 2022.

In addition, prior to March 15, 2020, we may redeem up to 35 percent of the aggregate principal amount of each of the 4¾% Notes and the 3¼% Notes from the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 104.750 percent of their principal amount in the case of the 4¾% Notes and 103.250 percent of their principal amount in the case of the 3¼% Notes, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption. We may also redeem each of the 4¾% Notes and the 3¼% Notes, in whole or in part, prior to March 15, 2020 at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of their principal amount plus a make-whole premium as provided in the indenture for the 4¾% Notes and the 3¼% Notes, together with, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption. We will be required to make an offer to repurchase each of the 4¾% Notes and the 3¼% Notes at a repurchase price equal to 101 percent of their principal amount, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of repurchase, upon the occurrence of a change of control repurchase event as provided in the indenture for the 4¾% Notes and the 3¼% Notes.

The net proceeds from the sale of the 4¾% Notes were approximately $296.5 million and the net proceeds from the sale of the 3¼% Notes were approximately €643.4 million , in each case after deducting the initial purchasers' discount and offering expenses. We used the net proceeds from the sale of the 4¾% Notes to prepay $212.3 million of our outstanding U.S. term loans and repay a portion of our outstanding revolving loans under our previous senior secured credit facility. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the 3¼% Notes to prepay the remaining balance of €187.0 million of Euro term loans under our previous senior secured credit facility, repay approximately €4.5 million of outstanding Euro revolving loans under our previous senior secured credit facility and repay approximately €34.0 million of certain other foreign bank revolving and term loans of certain of our non U.S. subsidiaries. In addition, we prepaid $98.0 million of our outstanding U.S. term loans and Cdn. $14.0 million of our outstanding Canadian term loans under our previous senior secured credit facility during the first quarter of 2017. As a result of the aggregate prepayments of our outstanding term loans under our previous senior secured credit facility, we recorded a pre-tax charge for the loss on early extinguishment of debt of $2.1 million during the first quarter of 2017. On April 3, 2017, we used the remaining net proceeds from the sale of the 3¼% Notes to redeem $220.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 5% Notes.

Credit Agreement

On March 24, 2017, we completed an amendment and restatement of our previous senior secured credit facility, or our Credit Agreement, which extends the maturity dates of our senior secured credit facility, provides additional borrowing capacity for us and provides us with greater flexibility with regard to our strategic initiatives. Our Credit Agreement provides us with revolving loans, or the Revolving Loans, consisting of a multicurrency revolving loan facility of approximately $1.19 billion and a Canadian revolving loan facility of Cdn $15.0 million and provided us with Cdn $45.5 million of term loans designated Canadian A term loans. In addition, our credit agreement provided us with $800.0 million of term loans designated U.S. A term loans which were borrowed to fund a portion of the purchase price paid in connection with our acquisition of SDS. See Note 2 for further information.

The Revolving Loans generally may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed from time to time until March 24, 2022. Proceeds from the Revolving Loans may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes (including acquisitions, capital expenditures, dividends, stock repurchases and repayments of other debt).

The $800.0 million U.S. A term loans and the Cdn $45.5 million of Canadian A term loans, collectively the Term Loans, mature on March 24, 2023. The Term Loans are payable in installments as follows (expressed as a percentage of the original principal amount of the applicable Term Loan outstanding on the date that it is borrowed), with the remaining outstanding principal amounts to be repaid on the maturity date of the Term Loans:



Date	Percentage
December 31, 2018	5%
December 31, 2019	10%
December 31, 2020	10%
December 31, 2021	10%
December 31, 2022	10%

If, on the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of any of the 5% Notes and the 5½% Notes, or collectively the Prior Notes, all of the Prior Notes that mature on such maturity date have not been (a) repaid in full, (b) amended to extend the final maturity date thereof to a date that is more than 90 days after the maturity date of the Revolving Loans or the Terms Loans, as applicable, or (c) refinanced with other senior notes with a final maturity date that is more than 90 days after the maturity date of the Revolving Loans or the Terms Loans, as applicable, then the Revolving Loans and the Term Loans will mature on the date that is 91 days prior to the earliest maturity date of the Prior Notes that remain outstanding.

Our Credit Agreement also contains certain mandatory repayment provisions, including requirements to prepay loans with proceeds in excess of certain amounts received from certain assets sales. Generally, mandatory repayments are applied pro rata to each of the Term Loans and applied first to the next two scheduled amortization payments which are due on December 31 of the year of such mandatory repayment and the next succeeding year (or, if no such payment is due on December 31 of such year, to the payment due on December 31 of the immediately succeeding year or of the next succeeding year in which a payment is to be made) and, to the extent in excess thereof, pro rata to the remaining installments of each of the Term Loans. Voluntary prepayments of Term Loans may be applied to any tranche of Term Loans at our discretion and are applied to the scheduled amortization payments in direct order of maturity.

Our Credit Agreement also provides us with an uncommitted multicurrency incremental loan facility for up to U.S. $1.25 billion (which amount may be increased as provided in our Credit Agreement), which may take the form of one or more incremental term loan facilities and/or increased commitments under the revolving loan facilities, subject to certain limitations. The uncommitted incremental loan facility provides, among other things, that any incremental loan borrowing shall:


•	be denominated in a single currency, either in U.S. Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling or Canadian Dollars;


•	be in a minimum aggregate amount of at least U.S. $50 million ;


•	have a maturity date no earlier than the maturity date for the Term Loans and a weighted average life to maturity of no less than the weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loans; and

•	be used by us and certain of our foreign subsidiaries for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including to finance acquisitions and refinance any indebtedness assumed as a part of such acquisitions, to refinance or repurchase debt as permitted and to pay outstanding Revolving Loans.

As of June 30, 2017, we had borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement of $800.0 million of U.S. A term loans, Cdn $45.5 million of Canadian A term loans and $607.0 million and £2.0 million , totaling U.S. denominated $609.6 million (with non-U.S. denominated revolving loans translated at exchange rates in effect at such date) of Revolving Loans.

Under our Credit Agreement, the interest rate for U.S. term loans will be either the Eurodollar Rate or the base rate under our Credit Agreement plus a margin, the interest rate for Canadian term loans will be either the CDOR Rate or the Canadian prime rate under our Credit Agreement plus a margin and the interest rate for Euro or Pounds Sterling term loans will be the Euro Rate under our Credit Agreement plus a margin. Outstanding Revolving Loans incur interest at the same rates as the U.S. term loans in the case of U.S. dollar denominated Revolving Loans and as the Canadian term loans in the case of Canadian dollar denominated Revolving Loans. Euro and Pounds Sterling denominated Revolving Loans incur interest at the applicable Euro Rate plus the applicable margin.

At June 30, 2017, the margin for Term Loans and Revolving Loans maintained as Eurodollar Rate, CDOR Rate or Euro Rate loans was 1.75 percent and the margin for Term Loans and Revolving Loans maintained as base rate or Canadian prime rate loans was 0.75 percent. The interest rate margin on all loans will be reset quarterly based upon our Total Net Leverage Ratio as provided in our Credit Agreement.

Our Credit Agreement provides for the payment of a commitment fee ranging from 0.20 percent to 0.35 percent per annum on the daily average unused portion of commitments available under the revolving loan facilities ( 0.30 percent at June 30, 2017). The commitment fee will be reset quarterly based upon our Total Net Leverage Ratio as provided in our Credit Agreement.

We may utilize up to a maximum of $125 million of our multicurrency revolving loan facility under the Credit Agreement for letters of credit as long as the aggregate amount of borrowings of Revolving Loans under the multicurrency revolving loan facility and letters of credit do not exceed the amount of the commitment under such multicurrency revolving loan facility. Our Credit Agreement provides for payment to the applicable lenders of a letter of credit fee equal to the applicable margin in effect for Revolving Loans under the multicurrency revolving loan facility, calculated on the stated amount of such letter of credit, and to the issuers of letters of credit of a fronting fee of the greater of (x) $500 per annum and (y) 0.25 percent per annum calculated on the aggregate stated amount of such letters of credit, in each case for their stated duration.

The indebtedness under our Credit Agreement is guaranteed by us and our U.S., Canadian and Dutch subsidiaries. The stock of our U.S., Canadian and Dutch subsidiaries has been pledged as security to the lenders under our Credit Agreement. Our Credit Agreement contains certain financial and operating covenants which limit, subject to certain exceptions, among other things, our ability to incur additional indebtedness; create liens; consolidate, merge or sell assets; make certain advances, investments or loans; enter into certain transactions with affiliates; and engage in any business other than the packaging business and certain related businesses. In addition, we are required to meet specified financial covenants consisting of Interest Coverage and Total Net Leverage Ratios, each as defined in the Credit Agreement. We are currently in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.

As a result of entering into our Credit Agreement, we recorded a pre-tax charge for the loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0.6 million during the first quarter of 2017.

Partial Redemption of 5% Notes

On April 3, 2017, we utilized a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the 3¼% Notes to redeem $220.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 5% Notes at a redemption price of 101.25 percent of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date. As a result of this partial redemption, we recorded a pre-tax charge for the loss on early extinguishment of debt of $4.4 million in the second quarter of 2017 for the premium paid in connection with this partial redemption and for the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs.

Note 8. Financial Instruments

The financial instruments recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, debt obligations and swap agreements. Due to their short-term maturity, the carrying amounts of trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable approximate their fair market values. The following table summarizes the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our other financial instruments at June 30, 2017:



	Carrying Amount		Fair Value
	(Dollars in thousands)
Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	142,083	$	142,083
Natural gas swap agreements	103		103

Liabilities:
Bank debt	$	1,489,971	$	1,489,971
5% Senior Notes	280,000		283,903
5½% Senior Notes	300,000		309,558
4¾% Senior Notes	300,000		307,533
3¼% Senior Notes	742,105		762,238

Fair Value Measurements

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). GAAP classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into a hierarchy consisting of three levels. Level 1 inputs represent unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs represent unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs represent unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

The financial assets and liabilities that were measured on a recurring basis at June 30, 2017 consisted of our cash and cash equivalents and natural gas swap agreements. We measured the fair value of cash and cash equivalents using Level 1 inputs. We measured the fair value of the swap agreements using the income approach. The fair value of the swap agreements reflects the estimated amounts that we would pay or receive based on the present value of the expected cash flows derived from market interest rates and prices. As such, these derivative instruments were classified within Level 2.

Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value

Our bank debt, 5% Notes, 5½% Notes, 4¾% Notes, and 3¼% Notes were recorded at historical amounts in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, as we have not elected to measure them at fair value. We measured the fair value of our variable rate bank debt using the market approach based on Level 2 inputs. Fair values of the 5% Notes, 5½% Notes, 4¾% Notes and the 3¼% Notes were estimated based on quoted market prices, a Level 1 input.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Our derivative financial instruments were recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair values. Changes in fair values of derivatives are recorded in each period in earnings or comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction.

We have utilized certain derivative financial instruments to manage a portion of our interest rate and natural gas cost exposures. We limit our use of derivative financial instruments to interest rate and natural gas swap agreements. We do not engage in trading or other speculative uses of these financial instruments. For a financial instrument to qualify as a hedge, we must be exposed to interest rate or price risk, and the financial instrument must reduce the exposure and be designated as a hedge. Financial instruments qualifying for hedge accounting must maintain a high correlation between the hedging instrument and the item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the hedged period. As of June 30, 2017, we did not have any outstanding interest rate swap agreements and the fair value of our outstanding natural gas swap agreements was not significant.

We utilize certain internal hedging strategies to minimize our foreign currency exchange rate risk. Net investment hedges that qualify for hedge accounting result in the recognition of foreign currency gains or losses, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive loss. We generally do not utilize external derivative financial instruments to manage our foreign currency exchange rate risk.

In an effort to minimize foreign currency exchange rate risk, we have financed acquisitions of foreign operations primarily with loans borrowed under our senior secured credit facilities denominated in Euros and Canadian dollars. In addition, where available, we have borrowed funds in local currency or implemented certain internal hedging strategies to minimize our foreign currency exchange rate risk related to foreign operations, including net investment hedges related to our 3¼% Notes, which are Euro denominated. Foreign currency (losses) related to our net investment hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were $(23.6) million and $(28.5) million , respectively.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

A competition authority in Germany commenced an antitrust investigation in 2015 involving the industry association for metal packaging in Germany and its members, including our metal container and closures subsidiaries in Germany. Given the early stage of the investigation, we cannot reasonably assess what actions may result from the investigation or estimate what costs we may incur as a result of the investigation.

Note 11. Income Taxes

Silgan and its subsidiaries file U.S. Federal income tax returns, as well as income tax returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. We have been accepted into the Compliance Assurance Program for the 2016 and 2017 tax years which provides for the review by the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, of tax matters relating to our tax return prior to filing. We do not expect a material change to our unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

Note 12. Treasury Stock

On October 17, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase by us of up to an aggregate of $300.0 million of our common stock by various means from time to time through and including December 31, 2021. We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock under this authorization during the six months ended June 30, 2017. At June 30, 2017, we had approximately $129.4 million remaining under this authorization for the repurchase of our common stock.

During the first six months of 2017, we issued 321,652 treasury shares which had an average cost of $3.15 per share for restricted stock units that vested during the period. In accordance with the Silgan Holdings Inc. Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, we repurchased 108,344 shares of our common stock at an average cost of $30.30 to satisfy minimum employee withholding tax requirements resulting from the vesting of such restricted stock units.

We account for treasury shares using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost method. As of June 30, 2017, 64.8 million shares of our common stock were held in treasury.

Note 13. Stock-Based Compensation

We currently have one stock-based compensation plan in effect under which we have issued options and restricted stock units to our officers, other key employees and outside directors. During the first six months of 2017, 592,922 restricted stock units were granted to certain of our officers, other key employees and outside directors. The fair value of these restricted stock units at the grant date was $17.8 million , which is being amortized ratably over the respective vesting period from the grant date.

Sales and income from operations of our metal container business and part of our closures business are dependent, in part, upon fruit and vegetable harvests. The size and quality of these harvests varies from year to year, depending in large part upon the weather conditions in applicable regions. Because of the seasonality of the harvests, we have historically experienced higher unit sales volume in the third quarter of our fiscal year and generated a disproportionate amount of our annual income from operations during that quarter.

Item 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Statements included in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements are made based upon management’s expectations and beliefs concerning future events impacting us and therefore involve a number of uncertainties and risks, including, but not limited to, those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result, the actual results of our operations or our financial condition could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements.

General

We are a leading manufacturer of rigid packaging for consumer goods products. We currently produce steel and aluminum containers for human and pet food and general line products; metal and plastic closures and dispensing systems for food, beverage, health care, garden, home and beauty products; and custom designed plastic containers and closures for personal care, food, health care, pharmaceutical, household and industrial chemical, pet care, agricultural, automotive and marine chemical products. We are a leading manufacturer of metal containers in North America and Europe, a leading worldwide manufacturer of metal and plastic closures and dispensing systems and a leading manufacturer of plastic containers in North America for a variety of markets, including the personal care, food, health care, household and industrial chemical markets.

Our objective is to increase shareholder value by efficiently deploying capital and management resources to grow our business, reduce operating costs and build sustainable competitive positions, or franchises, and to complete acquisitions that generate attractive cash returns. We have grown our net sales and income from operations largely through acquisitions but also through internal growth, and we continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities in the consumer goods packaging market. If acquisition opportunities are not identified over a longer period of time, we may use our cash flow to repay debt, repurchase shares of our common stock or increase dividends to our stockholders or for other permitted purposes.

On April 6, 2017, we acquired SDS. This business, with sales of approximately $570 million in 2016, operates thirteen facilities in North America, Europe, South America and Asia. We funded the purchase price for this acquisition through term and revolving loan borrowings under our Credit Agreement.

On May 3, 2017, our Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock split of our issued common stock in the form of a stock dividend. The additional shares of our common stock were issued on May 26, 2017. Information pertaining to the number of shares outstanding and per share amounts for 2016 has been retroactively adjusted to reflect this stock split.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2016

Overview . Consolidated net sales were $1,021.8 million in the second quarter of 2017, representing a 16.8 percent increase as compared to the second quarter of 2016 primarily as a result of the acquisition of SDS in April 2017 and the pass through of higher raw material costs in each of our businesses, partially offset by a less favorable mix of products sold in the metal and plastic container businesses, the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation and lower unit volumes in the legacy closures operations. Income from operations for the second quarter of 2017 increased by $7.5 million, or 11.1 percent, as compared to the same period in 2016 primarily as a result of the net benefit from the acquisition of SDS, lower manufacturing costs in each of our businesses and lower rationalization charges. These increases were partially offset by acquisition related costs of $9.8 million, the unfavorable impact from the resolution of a past non-commercial legal dispute, lower unit volumes in the legacy closures operations, foreign currency transaction losses, a smaller inventory build in the current year quarter as compared to the prior year period in the metal container business, higher depreciation expense and the unfavorable impact from the contractual pass through to customers of indexed deflation in the metal container business. Results for the second quarters of 2017 and 2016 included rationalization charges of $3.0 million and $5.0 million, respectively. Results for the second quarter of 2017 also included a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $4.4 million. Net income for the second quarter of 2017 was $27.9 million as compared to $33.3 million for the same period in 2016. Net income per diluted share for the second quarter of 2017 was $0.25 as compared to $0.27 for the same period in 2016.

Net Sales . The $147.2 million increase in consolidated net sales in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the second quarter of 2016 was the result of the acquisition of SDS in April 2017 and higher net sales across all of our businesses.

Net sales for the metal container business increased $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. This increase was primarily the result of the pass through of higher raw material costs, mostly offset by a less favorable mix of products sold and the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $2.0 million.

Net sales for the closures business increased $142.6 million, or 69.1 percent, in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. This increase was primarily the result of the inclusion of $142.7 million of net sales from the recently acquired SDS operations and the pass through of higher raw material costs, partially offset by lower unit volumes of approximately two percent in the legacy closures operations principally due to lower sales for single-serve beverages as compared to record volumes in the prior year period and the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $2.0 million.

Net sales for the plastic container business increased $4.5 million, or 3.2 percent, in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. This increase was principally due to the pass through of higher raw material costs, partially offset by a less favorable mix of products sold and the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $1.0 million.

Gross Profit . Gross profit margin increased 1.6 percentage points to 16.2 percent in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 for the reasons discussed below in "Income from Operations."

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses . Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of consolidated net sales increased 2.2 percentage points to 8.5 percent for the second quarter of 2017 as compared to 6.3 percent for the same period in 2016. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $32.0 million to $87.0 million for the second quarter of 2017 as compared to $55.0 million for the same period in 2016 primarily due to the inclusion of the recently acquired SDS operations which generally incur such expenses at a higher percentage of its net sales, acquisition related costs of $9.8 million and a $3.0 million charge related to the resolution in the second quarter of 2017 of a past non-commercial legal dispute.

Income from Operations . Income from operations for the second quarter of 2017 increased by $7.5 million, or 11.1 percent, as compared to the second quarter of 2016, while operating margin decreased to 7.4 percent from 7.7 percent over the same periods. The increase in income from operations was primarily the result of the net benefit from the acquisition of SDS and higher income from operations in each of our businesses. The decrease in operating margin was due primarily to the negative impact from the purchase accounting write-up of inventory of SDS and acquisition related costs in the second quarter of 2017.

Income from operations of the metal container business for the second quarter of 2017 increased $3.5 million, or 7.6 percent, as compared to the same period in 2016, and operating margin increased to 9.3 percent from 8.7 percent over the same periods. The increase in income from operations was primarily attributable to lower manufacturing costs and lower rationalization charges, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a $3.0 million charge related to the resolution of a past non-commercial legal dispute, a smaller inventory build in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the prior year period, higher depreciation expense, foreign currency transaction losses in the current year quarter and the unfavorable impact from the contractual pass through to customers of indexed deflation. Rationalization charges were $2.2 million and $4.0 million in the second quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively.

- 27 -

Income from operations of the closures business for the second quarter of 2017 increased $8.5 million, or 33.6 percent, as compared to the same period in 2016, while operating margin decreased to 9.7 percent from 12.3 percent over the same periods. The increase in income from operations was primarily due to the inclusion of $7.7 million of income from operations from SDS and manufacturing cost savings and efficiencies, partially offset by lower unit volumes in the legacy closures operations. The decrease in operating margin was primarily due to the $11.9 million unfavorable impact from the write-up of inventory of SDS for purchase accounting.

Income from operations of the plastic container business for the second quarter of 2017 increased $5.7 million to $6.7 million as compared to $1.0 million in the same period in 2016, and operating margin increased to 4.7 percent from 0.7 percent over the same periods. The increase in income from operations was primarily attributable to lower manufacturing costs, partially offset by higher depreciation expense.

Interest and Other Debt Expense. Interest and other debt expense before loss on early extinguishment of debt for the second quarter of 2017 increased $12.2 million to $29.1 million as compared to $16.9 million in the same period in 2016 primarily due to higher average outstanding borrowings as a result of additional borrowings under our Credit Agreement for the acquisition of SDS and higher weighted average interest rates, including the impact from increasing long-term fixed rate debt through the issuance in February 2017 of the 4¾% Notes and the 3¼% Notes. Loss on early extinguishment of debt of $4.4 million in the second quarter of 2017 was primarily a result of the partial redemption of the 5% Notes in April 2017.

Provision for Income Taxes. The effective tax rates were 33.0 percent and 34.4 percent for the second quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. The effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2017 benefitted from the settlement of a state tax audit.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2016

Overview . Consolidated net sales were $1.83 billion in the first six months of 2017, representing a 9.6 percent increase as compared to the first six months of 2016 primarily due to the acquisition of SDS, the pass through of higher raw material costs in each of our businesses, a favorable mix of products sold in the metal container business and slightly higher volumes in the plastic container business. These increases were partially offset by the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation, a less favorable mix of products sold in the plastic container business and lower unit volumes in the legacy closures operations. Income from operations for the first six months of 2017 increased by $6.9 million, or 5.5 percent, as compared to the same period in 2016 primarily as a result of lower manufacturing costs in each of the businesses, the net benefit from the acquisition of SDS, a favorable mix of products sold in the metal container business, lower rationalization charges and slightly higher volumes in the plastic container business. These increases were partially offset by acquisition related costs of $23.0 million, higher depreciation expense, the unfavorable impact from the resolution of a past non-commercial legal dispute, a smaller inventory build in the metal container business in the current year period as compared to the prior year period, the unfavorable impact from the contractual pass through to customers of indexed deflation in the metal container business and lower unit volumes in the legacy closures operations. Rationalization charges were $3.9 million for the first six months of 2017 as compared to $6.1 million for the same period in 2016. Results for the first six months of 2017 also included a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $7.1 million. Net income was $51.2 million for the first six months of 2017 as compared to $59.9 million for the same period in 2016. Net income per diluted share for the first six months of 2017 was $0.46 as compared to $0.49 for the same period in 2016.

Net Sales . The $159.8 million increase in consolidated net sales in the first six months of 2017 as compared to the first six months of 2016 was the result of the acquisition of SDS and higher net sales across all of our businesses.

Net sales for the metal container business increased $12.8 million, or 1.3 percent, in the first six months of 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. This increase was primarily the result of the pass through of higher raw material costs and a favorable mix of products sold, partially offset by the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $3.0 million.

Net sales for the closures business increased $144.2 million, or 35.8 percent, in the first six months of 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. This increase was primarily the result of the inclusion of net sales of $142.7 million from the recently acquired SDS operations and the pass through of higher raw material costs, partially offset by the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $5.0 million and lower unit volumes in the legacy closures operations.

Net sales for the plastic container business increased $2.8 million, or 1.0 percent, in the first six months of 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. This increase was principally due to the pass through of higher raw material costs and slightly higher volumes, partially offset by a less favorable mix of products sold.

Gross Profit . Gross profit margin increased 1.3 percentage points to 15.8 percent in the first six months of 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 for the reasons discussed below in "Income from Operations."

- 28 -

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses . Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of consolidated net sales increased 1.8 percentage points to 8.4 percent for the first six months of 2017 as compared to 6.6 percent for the same period in 2016. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $43.5 million to $153.9 million for the first six months of 2017 as compared to $110.4 million for the same period in 2016 primarily due to acquisition related costs of $23.0 million, the inclusion of the recently acquired SDS operations which generally incur such expenses at a higher percentage of its net sales and a $3.0 million charge related to the resolution of a past non-commercial legal dispute.

Income from Operations . Income from operations for the first six months of 2017 increased by $6.9 million, or 5.5 percent, as compared to the first six months of 2016, while operating margin decreased to 7.2 percent from 7.5 percent over the same periods. The increase in income from operations was primarily the result of the net benefit from the acquisition of SDS and higher income from operations in each of our businesses.

Income from operations of the metal container business for the first six months of 2017 increased $9.8 million, or 11.7 percent, as compared to the same period in 2016, and operating margin increased to 9.4 percent from 8.5 percent over the same periods. The increase in income from operations was primarily attributable to lower manufacturing costs, a favorable mix of products sold and lower rationalization charges, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a $3.0 million charge related to the resolution of a past non-commercial legal dispute, the unfavorable impact from the contractual pass through to customers of indexed deflation, an increase in depreciation expense and a smaller inventory build in the current year period as compared to the prior year period. Rationalization charges were $2.9 million and $4.0 in the first six months of 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Income from operations of the closures business for the first six months of 2017 increased $7.8 million, or 15.7 percent, as compared to the same period in 2016, while operating margin decreased to 10.5 percent from 12.4 percent over the same periods. The increase in income from operations was primarily due to the inclusion of $7.7 million of income from operations from SDS and manufacturing cost savings and efficiencies, partially offset by a decrease in unit volumes in the legacy closures operations. The decrease in operating margin was primarily due to the unfavorable impact from the $11.9 million write-up of inventory of SDS for purchase accounting. Rationalization charges were $0.4 million in each of the first six months of 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Income from operations of the plastic container business for the first six months of 2017 increased $12.4 million to $13.5 million as compared to $1.1 million in the same period in 2016, and operating margin increased to 4.7 percent from 0.4 percent over the same periods. The increase in income from operations was primarily attributable to lower manufacturing costs, lower rationalization charges and slightly higher volumes, partially offset by higher depreciation expense. Rationalization charges were $0.6 million and $1.7 million in the first six months of 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Interest and Other Debt Expense. Interest and other debt expense before loss on early extinguishment of debt for the first six months of 2017 increased $16.3 million to $49.6 million as compared to $33.3 million in the same period in 2016 primarily due to higher weighted average interest rates, including the impact from increasing long-term fixed rate debt through the issuance in February 2017 of the 4¾% Notes and the 3¼% Notes, and higher average outstanding borrowings primarily as a result of additional borrowings under our Credit Agreement for the acquisition of SDS. Loss on early extinguishment of debt of $7.1 million in the first six months of 2017 was a result of the prepayment of outstanding U.S. term loans and Euro term loans under our previous senior secured credit facility and the partial redemption of the 5% Notes in April 2017 in conjunction with the issuance of the

4¾% Notes and the 3¼% Notes.

Provision for Income Taxes. The effective tax rates were 32.1 percent and 34.7 percent for the first six months of 2017 and 2016, respectively. The effective tax rate in 2017 benefitted from the settlement of a state tax audit. The effective tax rate in 2016 was unfavorably impacted by the cumulative adjustment of a change in tax law in a certain foreign jurisdiction, partially offset by higher income in more favorable tax jurisdictions.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Our principal sources of liquidity have been net cash from operating activities and borrowings under our debt instruments, including our senior secured credit facility. Our liquidity requirements arise from our obligations under the indebtedness incurred in connection with our acquisitions and the refinancing of that indebtedness, capital investment in new and existing equipment, the funding of our seasonal working capital needs and other general corporate uses.

On February 13, 2017, we issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of the 4¾% Notes and €650 million aggregate principal amount of the 3¼% Notes. We used the net proceeds from the sale of the 4¾% Notes to prepay $212.3 million of our outstanding U.S. term loans and repay a portion of our outstanding revolving loans under our previous senior secured credit facility. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the 3¼% Notes to prepay €187.0 million of Euro term loans under our previous senior

- 29 -

secured credit facility, to repay approximately €4.5 million of outstanding Euro revolving loans under our previous senior secured credit facility and to repay approximately €34.0 million of certain other foreign bank revolving and term loans of certain of our non U.S. subsidiaries. In addition, we prepaid $98.0 million of our outstanding U.S. term loans and Cdn $14.0 million of our outstanding Canadian term loans under our previous senior secured credit facility during the first quarter of 2017. As a result of the aggregate prepayments of our outstanding term loans under our previous senior secured credit facility, we recorded a pre-tax charge for the loss on early extinguishment of debt of $2.1 million during the first quarter of 2017.

On March 24, 2017, we completed an amendment and restatement of our previous senior secured credit facility which extends the maturity dates of our senior secured credit facility, provides additional borrowing capacity for us and provides us with greater flexibility with regard to our strategic initiatives. Our Credit Agreement provides us with a multicurrency revolving loan facility of approximately $1.19 billion, a Canadian revolving loan facility of Cdn $15.0 million and Cdn $45.5 million of Canadian A term loans. Additionally, our Credit Agreement provided us with a delayed draw U.S. A term loan of $800 million. This delayed draw U.S. A term loan, along with revolving loan borrowings, were used to fund the purchase price for the acquisition of SDS completed on April 6, 2017. As a result of entering into our Credit Agreement, we recorded a pre-tax charge for the loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0.6 million during the first quarter of 2017.

On April 3, 2017, we used the remaining net proceeds from the issuance of the 3¼% Notes to redeem $220.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 5% Notes at a redemption price of 101.25 percent of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date. As a result of this partial redemption, we recorded a pre-tax charge for the loss on early extinguishment of debt of $4.4 million during the second quarter of 2017 for the premium paid in connection with this partial redemption and for the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs.

You should also read Notes 2 and 7 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we used aggregate proceeds of $1,789.2 million from the issuance of the 4¾% Notes, the 3¼% Notes and term loan borrowings and net borrowings of revolving loans of $433.4 million to fund the acquisition of SDS for $1,022.1 million, repayments of long-term debt of $744.4 million, cash used in operations of $138.8 million, net capital expenditures of $80.8 million, decreases in outstanding checks of $79.0 million, dividends paid on our common stock of $20.3 million, debt issuance costs of $16.6 million and repurchases of our common stock of $3.2 million and to increase cash and cash equivalents by $117.4 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we used net borrowings of revolving loans of $417.3 million to fund cash used in operations of $162.6 million, decreases in outstanding checks of $101.8 million, net capital expenditures of $102.9 million, dividends paid on our common stock of $20.9 million, the repayment of $6.4 million of long-term debt and repurchases of our common stock of $2.2 million and to increase cash and cash equivalents by $20.5 million.

At June 30, 2017, we had $609.6 million of revolving loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement. After taking into account outstanding letters of credit, the available portion of revolving loans under the Credit Agreement at June 30, 2017 was $561.1 million and Cdn $15.0 million.

Because we sell metal containers and closures used in fruit and vegetable pack processing, we have seasonal sales. As is common in the industry, we must utilize working capital to build inventory and then carry accounts receivable for some customers beyond the end of the packing season. Due to our seasonal requirements, which generally peak sometime in the summer or early fall, we may incur short-term indebtedness to finance our working capital requirements. Our peak seasonal working capital requirements have historically averaged approximately $350 million. We fund seasonal working capital requirements through revolving loans under our Credit Agreement, other foreign bank loans and cash on hand. We may use the available portion of revolving loans under our Credit Agreement, after taking into account our seasonal needs and outstanding letters of credit, for other general corporate purposes including acquisitions, capital expenditures, dividends, stock repurchases and to refinance or repurchase other debt.

We believe that cash generated from operations and funds from borrowings available under our Credit Agreement and other foreign bank loans will be sufficient to meet our expected operating needs, planned capital expenditures, debt service, tax obligations, pension benefit plan contributions, share repurchases and common stock dividends for the foreseeable future. We continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities in the consumer goods packaging market and may incur additional indebtedness, including indebtedness under our Credit Agreement, to finance any such acquisition.

- 30 -

We are in compliance with all financial and operating covenants contained in our financing agreements and believe that we will continue to be in compliance during 2017 with all of these covenants.

Rationalization Charges

We continually evaluate cost reduction opportunities across each of our businesses, including rationalizations of our existing facilities through plant closings and downsizings. We use a disciplined approach to identify opportunities that generate attractive cash returns. Under our rationalization plans, we made cash payments of $2.1 million and $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Additional cash spending under our rationalization plans of $4.3 million is expected through 2023.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU that amends the guidance for revenue recognition. This amendment contains principles that will require an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods and services to customers at an amount that an entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This amendment permits the use of one of two retrospective transition methods. We will adopt this amendment on January 1, 2018, and we have not yet selected a transition method. The adoption of this amendment may require us to accelerate the recognition of revenue as compared to the current standards for certain customers in cases where we produce products unique to those customers and for which we have an enforceable right of payment for production completed to date. We will continue to assess the impact of this amendment on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued an ASU that provides guidance to simplify the test for goodwill impairment. This guidance eliminates the requirement to assign the fair value of a reporting unit to each of its assets and liabilities to quantify a goodwill impairment charge. Under this amended guidance, the goodwill impairment charge to be recognized will be determined based on comparing the carrying value of the reporting unit to its fair value. This amendment will be effective for us on January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, and we plan to adopt this amendment when we perform our first goodwill impairment test after January 1, 2017. This amendment is required to be adopted prospectively and is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risks relating to our operations result primarily from changes in interest rates and, with respect to our international metal container and closures operations and our Canadian plastic container operations, from foreign currency exchange rates. In the normal course of business, we also have risk related to commodity price changes for items such as natural gas. We employ established policies and procedures to manage our exposure to these risks. Interest rate, foreign currency and commodity pricing transactions are used only to the extent considered necessary to meet our objectives. We do not utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

Information regarding our interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity pricing risk has been disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. Since such filing, other than the changes discussed in Notes 2, 7 and 8 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, there has not been a material change to our interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity pricing risk or to our policies and procedures to manage our exposure to these risks.

You should also read Notes 7 and 8 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As required by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, these internal controls, except as noted below.

On April 6, 2017, we acquired SDS. You should read Note 2 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further information on our acquisition of SDS. We are currently in the process of integrating the internal controls and procedures of SDS into our internal controls over financial reporting. As provided under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we will include the internal controls and procedures of SDS in our annual assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for our 2018 fiscal year.
