Our financial performance can be significantly impacted by the cost and availability of raw materials and energy and we may have limited ability to pass through increases in costs to our customers.

Raw materials are a significant component of the cost of the products that we manufacture. The cost of wood pulp, which is the largest component of the raw materials that we use in our SAS segment, and some resins used by our FAM segment are highly cyclical and can be more volatile than general consumer or producer inflationary changes in the general economy. Likewise, the cost of polypropylene can fluctuate significantly based on a number of factors, including as a result of changes in global oil markets and broader economic conditions. As we periodically enter into agreements with customers under which we agree to supply products at fixed prices, unanticipated increases in the costs of raw materials, or the lack of availability of such raw materials (due to force majeure or other reasons), can significantly impact our financial performance. Even where we do not have fixed-price agreements, we may be limited in our ability to pass through increases in raw material costs in a timely manner or may be unable to pass through increases to our customers in whole or in part. Further, some of the resins we use in our FAM segment are only available from a single supplier, or a limited number of suppliers. Consequently, such supplier(s) can control the availability and thus the cost of the resins we use, notwithstanding any changes in the cost of oil or the impact of broader economic conditions. It can be time consuming and costly, and occasionally impractical, to find replacement resins where such suppliers limit the availability or increase the cost of resins we use.

Our manufacturing operations, in particular paper manufacturing, is energy-intensive. In the U.K., the European Union, China and the U.S., availability of energy generally is reliable, although prices can fluctuate significantly based on supply and demand. Western Europe has become significantly dependent on energy supplies from the Commonwealth of Independent States, which in the past has demonstrated a willingness to restrict or cut off supplies of energy to certain customers. The volume of oil or gas flowing through pipeline systems that ultimately connect to Western Europe also has been cut off or restricted in the past, and such actions can adversely impact the

supply of energy to Western Europe and, consequently, the cost and
