Third Quarter Financial Results Highlights

• Operating profit from ongoing operations for Bonnell Aluminum of $12.1 million was $0.4 million higher than the third quarter of 2018
• Operating profit from ongoing operations for PE Films of $6.9 million was $2.7 million higher than the third quarter of 2018
• Operating profit from ongoing operations for Flexible Packaging Films of $4.0 million was $0.4 million higher than the third quarter of 2018

John Steitz, Tredegar’s president and chief executive officer said, “The aluminum extrusions industry and Bonnell Aluminum continue to experience softness in sales volume, with higher selling prices at Bonnell helping to offset the adverse impact on profits. The Surface Protection component of PE Films is on track to achieving record profitability this year, while continuing to focus on obtaining new business and productivity improvements to offset a previously disclosed customer product transition.”

Mr. Steitz continued, “Our Personal Care component of PE Films is challenged with achieving sales growth and cost reductions to return to profitability. At Terphane, future profit growth will mostly depend on our ability to continue to increase our value-added product sales and customer service levels. Lastly, Tredegar’s overall cash generation for the first nine months of 2019 was exceptional with debt net of cash declining by $36 million.”
