4 OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW Pro Forma Operating Results The acquisition of Verallia North America ( VNA ) closed on 11 April and the divestment of six former Anchor Glass plants and related assets (the Divestment ) closed on. We believe it is more useful to review revenue and EBITDA on a pro forma basis, as if the VNA acquisition and the Divestment had occurred on 1 January.

8 Depreciation and Amortisation Three months ended Six months ended Depreciation (63) (59) (122) (120) Amortisation (25) (10) (35) (21) Total (88) (69) (157) (141) Depreciation and amortisation charges for the three month period ended increased by 19 million compared to the same period last year, due mainly to the acquisition of VNA. Exceptional Items Exceptional items of 305 million were included in the income statement for the three month period ended, primarily comprising finance expense of 108 million, a loss on disposal of 124 million relating to the Divestment, and an impairment charge of 39 million relating to an announced plant closure in the North America Glass business. Exceptional Finance Expense The 108 million of exceptional finance expense includes 106 million incurred during the three month period ended 30 June relating to borrowings that were repaid in July. The 106 million was comprised of 89 million of premiums relating to the early redemption of the debt and 17 million relating to the accelerated amortisation of debt issue costs and original issue premium. Divestment of Six Former Anchor Glass Plants The Divestment resulted in a reported exceptional loss on disposal of 124 million. The calculation of this loss excludes a cash payment of 37 million ($50 million) due from Compagnie de Saint-Gobain at in respect of the Divestment. In accordance with IFRS 3R, this payment has been treated as an adjustment to the purchase price for the VNA business rather than consideration in respect of the Divestment. The loss on disposal is reduced by the payment due from Compagnie de Saint-Gobain as follows: Reported loss on disposal 124 Cash payment due from Compagnie de Saint-Gobain (37) Adjusted loss on disposal 87 The cash payment of 37 million ($50 million) from Compagnie de Saint-Gobain was received in July.

9 Income Tax There was an income tax credit of 34 million for the three months ended compared to an income tax charge of 9 million for the three months ended. 37 million of the reduction in the tax charge was attributable to exceptional tax credits primarily relating to the Divestment and exceptional impairment charges relating to an announced plant closure in Glass North America. The income tax charge on underlying operations for the three months ended was 4 million (: 9 million). Liquidity and Capital Resources The Group s principal sources of cash are cash generated from operations and external financings, including borrowings, securitisation and revolving credit facilities. The Group s principal funding arrangements include bond financing and Term Loan B facilities, as well as borrowings available under the HSBC Securitisation programme, the GE Commercial Finance Facility, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Facility and the Unicredit Working Capital and Performance Guarantee Credit Lines. The Glass and Metal divisions sales and cash flows are subject to seasonal fluctuations. Demand for our glass products is typically strongest during the summer months and in the period prior to December because of the seasonal nature of beverage consumption. Demand for our metal products is largely related to agricultural harvest periods. The investment in working capital for Glass typically peaks in the first quarter. The investment in working capital for Metal generally builds over the first three quarters of the year, in line with the seasonal pattern, and then unwinds in the fourth quarter, with the calendar year-end being the low point. The Group manages the seasonality of working capital by supplementing operating cash flows with drawings under our securitisation and revolving credit facilities.

12 Outlook The Group has made good progress in, with constant currency EBITDA growth of 10% in the first quarter, prior to the acquisition of VNA, followed by a 9% advance on a pro forma basis in the second quarter. Near-term forecasts for economic growth are mixed. Most European economies are projected to remain relatively subdued, while the US economy rebounded in the second quarter after a weather-impacted downturn in the first quarter of. Against this backdrop, the Group will continue its pursuit of operational excellence and the achievement of targeted savings in costs. Integration of VNA, following completion of the acquisition on 11 April, is in line with expectation and is a major focus. The North American Metal investment project continues to progress, ahead of its completion later this year. This project will lead to a significant increase in the Group s scale in this market. The completion in July of the refinancing activity outlined below, combined with the reduction in debt following the Divestment, will result in significantly reduced future cash and payment in kind interest costs. Financing and Investment Activity On 8 April, the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) preliminarily approved a decision and order requiring the Divestment as a condition of permitting the VNA acquisition to proceed and the acquisition closed on 11 April. Prior to the completion of the VNA acquisition, the Group settled the dispute with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation on terms satisfactory to Ardagh and VNA made a contribution of $207 million, or $125 million after tax, to its pension scheme. This contribution had the effect of putting the scheme into surplus on a MAP-21 basis. The net of tax cost of this pension contribution was funded by VNA from its cash flows accumulated during and early. On 18 June, the FTC approved the Divestment to an affiliate of KPS Capital Partners, LP ( KPS ) and this closed on. The revenue, EBITDA and capital expenditure associated with the assets divested were, for the twelve months ended 31 March, approximately $557 million, $98 million and $43 million, respectively. The Group received approximately $480 million in total, after adjustments and costs, related to the Divestment, and made an equivalent repayment of debt in early July. On 11 April, the Bank of America Anchor Glass Facility was amended to reduce the facility size to $60 million. Ardagh also entered into a $200 million four year Bank of America facility to support the enlarged North American Glass business after completing the VNA acquisition. On 3 July, the Group issued 1,155 million aggregate principal amount of 4.250% First Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2022, $1,110 million aggregate principal amount of First Priority Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2019 and $440 million aggregate principal amount of 6.000% Senior Notes due The net proceeds from the issuance and sale of these notes, together with the net proceeds from the Divestment and related payments, were used to repay in full the 310 million aggregate principal amount of 7.125% Senior Notes due 2017, the 1,085 million and $860 million aggregate principal amounts of 7.375% First Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2017 and the $500 million and 130 million aggregate principal amounts of Senior Secured Term Loan B due Board Change David Matthews, who joined the Group as Chief Financial Officer in March, was appointed to the Board of Directors of Ardagh Group S.A. on 22 May.

15 Footnotes to the Selected Financial Information (1) EBITDA is operating profit/(loss) before depreciation, amortisation, impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and exceptional items. EBITDA margin is calculated as EBITDA divided by revenues. EBITDA and EBITDA margin are presented because we believe that they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating companies in the packaging industry. However, other companies may calculate EBITDA and EBITDA margin in a manner different from ours. EBITDA and EBITDA margin are not measurements of financial performance under IFRS and should not be considered an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to profit/(loss) on ordinary activities as indicators of operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with IFRS. (2) Depreciation, amortisation, and non-exceptional impairment, less capital grant amortisation. (3) The exceptional items referred to in the preceding tables are shown on a number of different lines in the Income Statement presented in subsequent pages in this report. (4) Debt service costs represent net finance expense excluding exceptional finance items, net interest cost on net pension plan liabilities, foreign exchange gains and losses, gains and losses on derivatives not designated as hedges, and other finance expenses.

26 2. Summary of significant accounting policies Basis of preparation This condensed consolidated interim financial information for the quarter ended, has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim financial reporting. The condensed consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 31 December, which has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) as adopted by the European Union. The condensed consolidated financial information presented in this interim report does not represent statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 19 of the Companies (Amendment Act), Statutory accounts for Ardagh Holdings Limited for the year ended 31 December 2012, upon which the auditors have given an unqualified audit report, have been filed with the Registrar of Companies in Ireland. Statutory accounts for Ardagh Holdings Limited for the year ended 31 December will be filed in due course with the Registrar of Companies in Ireland. The accounting policies adopted within this condensed consolidated interim financial information are consistent with those set out in the APHL annual report for the year ended 31 December, except as described below: Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the effective tax rate that would be applicable to expected annual earnings. New standards, amendments, improvements and interpretations which are effective for the financial year beginning 1 January The following new standards, amendments and interpretations that are applicable to the Group and became effective in : The Group has applied IFRS 10, Consolidated financial statements with effect from 1 January. IFRS 10 establishes principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated financial statements when an entity controls one or more other entities. The standard defines the principle of control and establishes control as the basis for consolidation. It sets out how to apply the principles of control to identify whether an investor controls an investee and therefore must consolidate the investee, and sets out the accounting requirements for the preparation of consolidated financial statements. The application of IFRS 10 does not result in material changes to the Group s results or net assets. The Group has applied IFRS 11, Joint arrangements with effect from 1 January. IFRS 11 is a more realistic reflection of joint arrangements by focusing on the rights and obligations of the arrangement rather than its legal form. There are two types of joint arrangement: joint operations and joint ventures. Joint operations arise where a joint operator has rights to the assets and obligations relating to the arrangement and hence accounts for its interest in assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Joint ventures arise where the joint operator has rights to the net assets of the arrangement and hence equity accounts for its interest. Proportional consolidation of joint ventures is no longer allowed. The Group does not, at present, have any joint arrangements which are being proportionally consolidated, therefore the application of IFRS 11 does not result in material changes to the Group s results or net assets. The Group has applied IFRS 12, Disclosures of interests in other entities with effect from 1 January. IFRS 12 includes the disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including joint arrangements, associates, special purpose vehicles and other off balance sheet vehicles. The application of IFRS 12 does not result in additional disclosures by the Group. There are no other accounting standards or IFRICs that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group. Reclassification of prior year comparative figures The Group has reclassified 17 million and 29 million from non-exceptional finance expense to exceptional finance expense for the three and six month periods ended, respectively. This reclassification related to the notes issued in January to finance the acquisition of VNA, which were repaid, in accordance with their terms, on 17 January using the proceeds that had been held in escrow.

32 7. Segmental analysis Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision-Maker ( CODM ) that are used to make strategic decisions. The CODM has been identified as the Executive Committee of the Ardagh Group S.A. board. The three reportable segments are Metal Europe, Glass Europe and Glass North America for the three and six month periods ended. Metal Asia Pacific and Metal North America do not meet the thresholds for separate disclosure as reportable segments and therefore, in accordance with IFRS 8, are combined and disclosed in an all others segments category labelled as Metal Other. Finance income and expense are not allocated to segments as these are reviewed by the CODM on a Group wide basis. The CODM assesses the performance of the operating segments based on EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as operating profit/ (loss) before depreciation, amortisation, impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, and exceptional items.

Specific items are those that in our judgement need to be disclosed by virtue of their size, nature or incidence. The Group believes that this presentation provides additional analysis as it highlights exceptional items. Such items include, where significant, restructuring, redundancy and other costs relating to permanent capacity realignment or footprint reorganisation, directly attributable acquisition costs, profit or loss on disposal or termination of operations, start-up costs incurred in relation to new furnace or plant builds, major litigation costs and settlements, profit or loss on disposal of assets and impairment of non-current assets. In this regard the determination of significant as included in our definition uses qualitative and quantitative factors. Judgement is used by the Group in assessing the particular items, which by virtue of their scale and nature, are disclosed in the Group income statement and related notes as exceptional items. We consider columnar presentation to be appropriate in our income statement as it improves the clarity of the presentation and is consistent with the way that financial performance is measured by management and presented to the Board and the CODM. Exceptional restructuring costs are classified as restructuring provisions and all other exceptional costs when outstanding at are classified as exceptional items payable. Further, exceptional items that have no cash impact are shown separately from those that are ultimately to be settled in cash and the cash movement on exceptional items is shown in the relevant category within the cash generated from operations note disclosure (Note 11).

Income tax Three months ended Six months ended Current taxation Deferred taxation (56) (7) (59) (11) Income tax (credit) / charge (34) 9 (30) 15 The income tax credit of 34 million for the three months ended compared to an income tax charge of 9 million for the three months ended. 37 million of the reduction in the tax charge was attributable to exceptional tax credits primarily relating to the Divestment and exceptional impairment charges relating to an announced plant closure in Glass North America. The income tax charge on underlying operations for the three months ended was 4 million (: 9 million). The income tax charge was recognised based on management s best estimate of the weighted average annual tax rate expected for the full financial year. The weighted average tax rate expected for the full financial year was revised during the three month period ended to take into account updates in forecasted profitability, in particular, as a result of the acquisition of VNA, as well as the Divestment. 11.

Management has assessed, in conjunction with the Group s external actuarial experts, the effects on the Group s main pension schemes of changes in asset valuations and economic and demographic assumptions in order to assess the Group s net retirement obligations at. This has resulted in the Group recording a re-measurement loss of 47 million during the six month period ended. Ardagh Holdings Limited 38

40 13. Acquisitions and disposals In January, Ardagh Group signed a contract with Compagnie de Saint-Gobain to purchase from it the VNA business. In July, the FTC informed Ardagh that it had issued an administrative complaint alleging that the acquisition of VNA was anticompetitive in so far as it related to the sale of glass containers for beer and spirits. On 8 April, the FTC preliminarily approved a decision and order requiring the divestiture of certain assets as a condition of permitting the VNA acquisition to proceed (the FTC Consent Decree ) and the acquisition closed on 11 April. On 12 April, pursuant to the FTC Consent Decree, Ardagh entered into a share purchase agreement with an affiliate of KPS to divest six former Anchor Glass plants and related assets. The sale was completed on. (a) VNA acquisition On 11 April, Ardagh Group completed the purchase of 100% of the equity of VNA, from Compagnie de Saint-Gobain for a consideration of $1.5 billion on a cash and debt free basis. VNA, which has its headquarters in Muncie, Indiana, is the second largest glass container manufacturer in the US, serving the North American food and beverage industries. It produces approximately nine billion containers annually from its 13 facilities located throughout the United States and employs approximately 4,400 people. VNA has annual revenues of approximately $1.6 billion ( 1.2 billion). The acquisition is strategically important for the Group. The acquisition of VNA further expands the glass manufacturing footprint in North America, strengthens the existing relationships with global customers and develops the Group s product portfolio. Further, the combination of VNA (on 11 April ),and the existing North American business that will be retained following the Divestment, provides opportunities for logistics savings, production improvements and cost efficiencies. From the date the acquisition closed, VNA contributed revenue of 269 million and EBITDA of 49 million to the Group s results for the six months ended. The following table summarises the consideration paid for VNA, and the provisional fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Cash and cash equivalents 8 Property, plant and equipment 374 Intangible assets 442 Inventories 193 Trade and other receivables 93 Trade and other payables (148) Net deferred tax liability (211) Provisions (27) Employee benefit obligations (101) Total identifiable net assets 623 Goodwill 423 Total consideration 1,046 The allocations set forth above are based on management s preliminary estimate of the fair values at the acquisition date. Ardagh Holdings Limited 39

41 Total consideration for the acquisition of VNA is comprised of the following; Cash consideration paid 1,083 Contingent cash consideration receivable* (37) Total net cash outflow 1,046 *Contingent consideration of 37 million ($50 million) was receivable from Compagnie de Saint-Gobain at (relating to the Divestment) and was received in July. In the three and six months ended, the net cash flow relating to the VNA acquisition is comprised of the following; Cash consideration paid 1,083 Cash and cash equivalents acquired (8) Total net cash outflow 1,075 A detailed exercise is ongoing to assess the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the use of third party experts where appropriate. If new information obtained within one year of the acquisition date regarding facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date identifies adjustments to the above amounts, or any additional provisions that existed at the acquisition date, then the acquisition accounting will be revised. Goodwill of 423 million arising on the acquisition of VNA (which is not expected to be tax deductible) includes anticipated synergies from integrating VNA into the Group, and the skills and technical talent of the VNA workforce. Deferred tax is recognised on the temporary timing differences created by the fair value adjustments. Acquisition-related costs of 15 million (: 36 million) were incurred and classified as exceptional items in the consolidated income statement for the six months ended. (b) Disposal of Former Anchor Glass Plants On, Ardagh Group completed the sale of six former Anchor Glass plants and certain related assets to an affiliate of KPS. The Group recognised a net loss on disposal of 124 million. Consideration* 318 Net assets disposed (444) Disposal costs (6) Cumulative foreign exchange differences 8 Loss on disposal (124) *Consideration of 318 million excludes 37 million ($50 million) receivable from Compagnie de Saint-Gobain in relation to the Divestment. In accordance with IFRS 3R, this amount has been treated as an adjustment to the purchase consideration for VNA rather than as consideration for the Divestment. Total cash received and receivable relating to the Divestment from KPS, after adjustments and related payments, and Compagnie de Saint-Gobain is $485 million ( 355 million). Prior to the Divestment, the six former Anchor Glass plants contributed revenue of 205 million and EBITDA of 40 million to the Group s results for the six months ended. If both the acquisition of VNA and the Divestment had occurred on 1 January revenue and EBITDA for the Group for the six months ended would have been 2,358 million and 377 million, respectively.

Contingencies and commitments There have been no significant changes in any of the Group s contingent assets or liabilities and commitments (including purchase commitments) requiring additional separate disclosure as at. 16. Seasonality of operations Both our Glass and Metal divisions sales and cash flows are subject to seasonal fluctuations. Demand for our glass products is typically strongest during the summer months and in the period prior to December because of the seasonal nature of beverage consumption. Demand for our metal products is largely related to agricultural harvest periods. The investment in working capital for Glass typically peaks in the first quarter. The investment in working capital for Metal generally builds over the first three quarters of the year, in line with the seasonal pattern, and then unwinds in the fourth quarter, with the calendar year-end being the low point. 17.
