$PKG Packaging Corp. sees Q4 EPS $2.47, consensus $2.46 The company states: "Looking ahead as we move from the third and into the fourth quarter. Looking ahead, we expect demand in our Packaging segment to remain strong with corrugated shipments-per-day continuing to strengthen and slightly higher containerboard volume. However, total shipments for the corrugated business will be impacted by two less shipping days and recent hurricane damage to the strawberry crops in Florida. With current containerboard inventory below our target levels, we will also attempt to build some inventory prior to year-end. We expect continued realization from the previously announced price increases and higher export prices, although with a seasonally less rich mix compared to the third quarter. In our Paper segment, shipments will be lower versus the seasonally stronger third quarter while prices and mix should be fairly flat. Operating and converting costs are expected to increase driven by higher seasonal energy costs and chemical costs. Scheduled outage costs are estimated to be $(.12) per share higher than the third quarter, and depreciation expense should be slightly higher. Considering these items, we expect fourth quarter earnings of $2.47 per share."

$PKG Packaging Corp. reports Q3 EPS $2.65, consensus $2.50 Reports Q3 revenue $2.18B, consensus $2.09B. The company states: "Results were $.20 above third quarter guidance of $2.45 per share primarily due to higher volume in the Packaging and Paper segments and higher prices and mix in the Packaging segment." CEO Mark W. Kowlzan says: "In the Packaging segment, we had great implementation of our previously announced containerboard and corrugated products price increases. Very strong demand throughout the quarter led to all-time quarterly records for containerboard production, total box shipments and shipments per day. We were able to meet this demand, and our customers' quality and service needs, through the operational benefits of our capital spending program and the continued great focus and execution by our sales, customer service, mill and corrugated products plant employees. Our Paper segment had excellent results with our previously announced price increases implemented as planned, volume above forecasted levels, and well-managed mill operations. Fortunately, none of our facilities were significantly impacted by the two hurricanes during the quarter."
