STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Silgan Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq:SLGN), a leading supplier of sustainable rigid packaging solutions for consumer goods products, today reported full year 2021 net income of $359.1 million, or $3.23 per diluted share, as compared to full year 2020 net income of $308.7 million, or $2.77 per diluted share. Adjusted net income per diluted share was a record $3.40 for the full year of 2021, after adjustments increasing net income per diluted share by $0.17. Adjusted net income per diluted share was $3.06 for the full year of 2020, after adjustments increasing net income per diluted share by $0.29. A reconciliation of net income per diluted share to “adjusted net income per diluted share,” a Non-GAAP financial measure used by the Company that adjusts net income per diluted share for certain items, can be found in Tables A and B at the back of this press release.
“The Silgan team delivered another year of record performance and double digit earnings growth and continued to demonstrate the power of the Company's portfolio of essential products, disciplined capital allocation model, strong operational performance and relentless focus on meeting the unique requirements of our customers,” said Adam Greenlee, President and CEO. “For the full year of 2021, the Company delivered record adjusted earnings per diluted share of $3.40, an 11 percent increase over the prior year record in 2020, and record free cash flow of $466.1 million. The Silgan team continued to successfully navigate the ongoing challenges related to the global pandemic, as demand remained at high levels for our Dispensing and Specialty Closures and Metal Container products with new record volume levels in both segments. Strong operational performance continued to help offset unprecedented inflation and on-going supply chain and labor challenges, which lessened through the fourth quarter but have yet to normalize,” continued Mr. Greenlee. “Looking forward to 2022, we expect further improvements in the supply chain and labor issues as well as a more stable resin environment. In addition, our teams are diligently working towards the successful integration of the three acquisitions completed in 2021, which are expected to provide additional significant earnings growth in 2022. Therefore, we estimate adjusted earnings per share in 2022 in the range of $3.80 to $4.00, which represents a 15 percent increase at the midpoint over record 2021 levels. Our free cash flow estimate for 2022 is estimated at approximately $350 million, as we anticipate an increase in working capital primarily related to significant metal inflation in 2022, increased capital expenditures for growth investment opportunities with core customers and higher cash taxes which will more than offset strong earnings growth,” concluded Mr. Greenlee.
The Company reported net cash provided by operating activities of $556.8 million in 2021 as compared to $602.5 million in 2020. Free cash flow increased $82.6 million to $466.1 million in 2021 as compared to $383.5 million in 2020 due primarily to higher net income, working capital benefits and the utilization of tax benefits from the recent acquisitions. The Company is providing a reconciliation in Table C of this press release of net cash provided by operating activities to “free cash flow,” a Non-GAAP financial measure used by the Company which adjusts net cash provided by operating activities for certain items.
Net sales in 2021 were $5.68 billion, an increase of $755.2 million, or 15.3 percent, as compared to $4.92 billion in 2020. This increase was the result of higher net sales in all segments.
Income before interest and income taxes for 2021 was $576.1 million, an increase of $63.7 million, or 12.4 percent, as compared to $512.4 million for 2020, while margins decreased to 10.1 percent from 10.4 percent over the same periods. The increase in income before interest and income taxes was primarily due to higher income in each of the segments, lower corporate expenses principally due to lower acquisition related costs and lower rationalization charges. Costs attributed to announced acquisitions were $5.0 million and $19.3 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively. Rationalization charges were $15.0 million and $16.0 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Interest and other debt expense before loss on early extinguishment of debt for 2021 was $108.4 million, an increase of $4.6 million as compared to 2020. This increase was primarily due to higher weighted average outstanding borrowings as a result of the acquisition of the dispensing operations of the Albéa Group in June 2020 and the recent acquisitions completed in the latter half of 2021, partially offset by lower weighted average interest rates during the current year. Loss on early extinguishment of debt was $1.4 million and $1.5 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The effective tax rates for 2021 and 2020 were 23.0 percent and 24.2 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate in 2021 was favorably impacted by tax rate changes in certain jurisdictions and more income in lower tax jurisdictions.
Dispensing and Specialty Closures
Net sales of the Dispensing and Specialty Closures segment were $2.16 billion in 2021, an increase of $448.1 million, or 26.2 percent, as compared to $1.71 billion in 2020. This increase was primarily the result of higher unit volumes of approximately 9 percent, the pass through of higher raw material and other manufacturing costs and the impact of favorable foreign currency translation. The increase in unit volumes was principally the result of the inclusion of volumes from the dispensing operations of Albéa acquired in June 2020 and the recent acquisitions of Gateway and Unicep, as well as higher volumes for the beauty, fragrance, beverage and food markets. This increase in unit volumes was partially offset by a decrease in volumes for hygiene and home cleaning products largely due to the ongoing inventory management throughout the supply chain for those products which had surged in 2020 during the pandemic.
Segment income of the Dispensing and Specialty Closures segment for 2021 increased $37.7 million to $262.1 million, as compared to $224.4 million in 2020, while segment income margin decreased to 12.1 percent from 13.1 percent in 2020. The increase in segment income was primarily due to higher unit volumes, a more favorable mix of products sold, strong operating performance, the pass through of other cost increases and a smaller impact from the write-up of inventory from acquisitions for purchase accounting in the current year. These increases were partially offset by the unfavorable impact in the current year from the delayed pass through of significantly higher resin costs, higher costs associated with labor and supply chain challenges and foreign currency transaction losses in the current year. Segment income margin was negatively impacted by the mathematical consequence of passing through significant raw material cost inflation during the year. Segment income included the negative impact from the write-up of inventory for purchase accounting of $1.6 million and $3.5 million related to acquisitions in 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Metal Containers
Net sales of the Metal Container segment were $2.81 billion in 2021, an increase of $250.0 million, or 9.8 percent, as compared to $2.56 billion in 2020. This increase was primarily the result of the pass through of higher raw material and other manufacturing costs, higher unit volumes of approximately 4 percent and favorable foreign currency translation, partially offset by a higher percentage of smaller cans sold. The increase in unit volumes over record volumes in 2020 was due primarily to continued strong consumer demand levels for food cans and continued growth in pet food, as well as customer purchases in advance of significant raw material inflation expected in 2022.
Segment income of the Metal Container segment in 2021 was $253.7 million, an increase of $7.1 million as compared to $246.6 million in 2020, while segment income margin decreased to 9.0 percent from 9.6 percent in the prior year. The increase in segment income was primarily attributable to higher unit volumes, higher pension income, higher foreign currency transaction losses in the prior year and lower rationalization charges, partially offset by operational inefficiencies and higher costs as a result of labor and supply chain challenges, a higher percentage of smaller cans sold and the negative impact of a $1.0 million charge from the write-up of inventory for purchase accounting related to the Easytech acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2021. Segment income margin was negatively impacted by the mathematical consequence of passing through significant raw material cost inflation during the year. Rationalization charges were $8.9 million and $9.9 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Custom Containers
Net sales of the Custom Container segment were $708.6 million in 2021, an increase of $57.1 million, or 8.8 percent, as compared to $651.5 million in 2020. This increase was principally due to the pass through of higher raw material costs, a more favorable mix of products sold and favorable foreign currency translation, partially offset by lower volumes of approximately 10 percent as compared to record pandemic driven volumes in the prior year. The decline in volumes was due primarily to a decrease in volumes for certain consumer health and personal and home care products, partially offset by growth in pet food products.
Segment income of the Custom Container segment in 2021 was $92.4 million, an increase of $4.6 million as compared to $87.8 million in 2020, while segment income margin decreased to 13.0 percent from 13.5 percent over the same periods. The increase in segment income was primarily attributable to strong operating performance and cost control and the inclusion in the prior year of a $3.2 million charge for a non-commercial legal dispute related to prior periods, partially offset by lower volumes. Segment income margin was negatively impacted by the mathematical consequence of passing through significant raw material cost inflation during the year.
Fourth Quarter
The Company reported net income for the fourth quarter of 2021 of $85.0 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, as compared to net income for the fourth quarter of 2020 of $60.1 million, or $0.54 per diluted share. Adjusted net income per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2021 was a record $0.79, after adjustments increasing net income per diluted share by $0.03. Adjusted net income per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $0.60, after adjustments increasing net income per diluted share by $0.06.
Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased $212.7 million, or 17.3 percent, to $1.44 billion as compared to $1.23 billion for the fourth quarter of 2020. This increase was primarily a result of the pass through of higher raw material and other manufacturing costs, higher unit volumes in the Dispensing and Specialty Closures and Metal Container segments and a more favorable mix of products sold in the Metal Container and Custom Container segments, partially offset by lower volumes in the Custom Container segment and the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation. The increase in volumes in the Dispensing and Specialty Closures segment of approximately 15 percent was primarily due to the inclusion of the recent acquisitions completed in 2021, continued strength in beauty, fragrance, beverage and food products and customer purchases in advance of significant metal inflation expected in 2022, partially offset by the impact from inventory management throughout the supply chain for hygiene and home cleaning products. The increase in volumes for the Metal Container segment of approximately 3 percent was primarily due to the impact of higher customer purchases ahead of significant raw material inflation expected in 2022, stronger pack related can purchases due to the continuation of the fruit and vegetable pack into the fourth quarter of 2021 and continued strength in pet food volumes. The decrease in volumes in the Custom Container segment of approximately 12 percent was due primarily to decreases in certain consumer health and personal and home care products as compared to very strong volumes in the prior year period.
Income before interest and income taxes for the fourth quarter of 2021 was a record $128.7 million, an increase of $23.7 million as compared to $105.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, and margins increased to 8.9 percent from 8.6 percent over the same periods. The increase in income before interest and income taxes was primarily due to higher unit volumes and a more favorable mix of products sold in the Dispensing and Specialty Closures and Metal Container segments, strong operating performance, lower rationalization charges and higher pension income. These increases were partially offset by lower volumes and a less favorable mix of products sold in the Custom Container segment, continued higher costs associated with labor and supply chain challenges across all segments, the unfavorable impact of the lagged pass through to customers of higher resin costs in the Dispensing and Specialty Closures segment, the negative impact of a $1.7 million charge from the purchase accounting write-up of inventory related to the recent acquisitions of Gateway, Unicep and Easytech and higher acquisition related costs. Costs attributed to announced acquisitions were $0.9 million and $0.3 million in the fourth quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively. Rationalization charges were $2.0 million and $8.8 million in the fourth quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Interest and other debt expense before loss on early extinguishment of debt for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $28.6 million, an increase of $1.8 million as compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. This increase was primarily due to higher weighted average outstanding borrowings as a result of the acquisitions of Gateway and Unicep in 2021, partially offset by lower weighted average interest rates during the current period due to lower variable market rates.
The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2021 was 14.7 percent as compared to 23.2 percent for the fourth quarter of 2020. The effective tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2021 was favorably impacted by an audit period expiration as well as favorable year-to-date tax rate changes in certain jurisdictions which became effective in the quarter and more income in lower tax jurisdictions.
Outlook for 2022
The Company currently estimates that its adjusted net income per diluted share for the full year of 2022 will be in the range of $3.80 to $4.00, a 15 percent increase at the midpoint of the range over record adjusted net income per diluted share for the full year of 2021 of $3.40. Adjusted net income per diluted share excludes rationalization charges, costs attributable to announced acquisitions, the unfavorable impact from the purchase accounting write-up of inventory and loss on early extinguishment of debt.
Segment income in the Dispensing and Specialty Closures segment in 2022 is expected to increase significantly over the prior year primarily due to the inclusion of a full year from the acquisitions of Gateway and Unicep, a less volatile resin market as compared to the significant unfavorable impact in the prior year from the lagged pass through of increasing resin costs throughout 2021, more efficient operating performance, the continued recovery in the beauty and fragrance markets and a return to more normal volume levels for hygiene and cleaning products as compared to the negative impact in 2021 from inventory management throughout the supply chain for these products. Segment income in the Metal Container segment is expected to improve in 2022 as compared to 2021 as a result of more efficient operating performance, cost improvements, the pass through of other cost inflation to customers and the inclusion of a full year from the acquisition of Easytech, partially offset by lower unit volumes. Net Sales in the Metal Container segment in 2022 are expected to increase due to the pass through of significant raw material inflation in 2022, which will also have the mathematical consequence of reducing segment income margin. Segment income in the Custom Container segment is expected to benefit from anticipated higher volumes as a result of a return to more normal volume levels for hygiene and cleaning products, continued growth in pet food markets and manufacturing efficiencies.
The Company expects higher interest expense in 2022 primarily due to higher weighted average outstanding borrowings as a result of the acquisitions completed in the third and fourth quarters of 2021 and higher weighted average interest rates.
The Company expects its effective tax rate for 2022 to be approximately 25 percent, as compared to the effective tax rate for 2021 of 23.0 percent.
The Company currently estimates that free cash flow in 2022 will be approximately $350 million as compared to a record $466.1 million in 2021. Free cash flow in 2022 will be negatively impacted by an anticipated significant increase in working capital principally related to unprecedented metal inflation in 2022, increased growth investment opportunities with core customers and higher cash taxes, partially offset by strong earnings growth.
For the first quarter of 2022, the Company is providing an estimate of adjusted net income per diluted share in the range of $0.70 to $0.80, as compared to a record $0.75 in the first quarter of 2021. This estimate includes benefits from recent acquisitions, improved operational efficiencies and anticipated lower resin costs, offset by volume declines in the Metal Container and Custom Container segments as compared to the prior year period. The decrease in volume in the Metal Container segment is due to customer purchases at the end of 2021 in advance of significant raw material inflation. The decrease in volume in the Custom Container segment is due to strong pandemic driven volumes for certain products in the first quarter of 2021 that are not expected to repeat in the first quarter of 2022. Adjusted net income per diluted share excludes rationalization charges, costs attributable to announced acquisitions and loss on early extinguishment of debt.

(1) The Company has presented adjusted net income per diluted share for the periods covered by this press release, which measure is a Non-GAAP financial measure. The Company’s management believes it is useful to exclude rationalization charges, costs attributed to announced acquisitions, the impact from the charge for the write-up of acquired inventory required under purchase accounting and the loss on early extinguishment of debt from its net income per diluted share as calculated under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles because such Non-GAAP financial measure allows for a more appropriate evaluation of its operating results. While rationalization costs are incurred on a regular basis, management views these costs more as an investment to generate savings rather than period costs. Costs attributed to announced acquisitions consist of the Company's third party transaction fees and expenses that are viewed by management as part of the acquisition and not indicative of the on-going cost structure of the Company. The write-up of acquired inventory required under purchase accounting is also viewed by management as part of the acquisition and is a non-cash charge that is not considered to be indicative of the on-going performance of the acquired operations. The loss on early extinguishment of debt consists of third party fees and expenses incurred or debt costs written off that are viewed by management as part of the cost of prepayment of debt and not indicative of the on-going cost structure of the Company. Such Non-GAAP financial measure is not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered in isolation but should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and the other information presented herein. Additionally, such Non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered a substitute for net income per diluted share as calculated under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
(2) The Company has presented free cash flow in this press release, which is a Non-GAAP financial measure. The Company’s management believes that free cash flow is important to support its stated business strategy of investing in internal growth and acquisitions. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for changes in outstanding checks and reduced by capital expenditures. At times, there may be other unusual cash items that will be excluded from free cash flow. Net cash provided by operating activities is the most comparable financial measure under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to free cash flow, and it should not be inferred that the entire free cash flow amount is available for discretionary expenditures. Such Non-GAAP financial measure is not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered in isolation but should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and the other information presented herein. Additionally, such Non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered a substitute for net cash provided by operating activities as calculated under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
