Forward guidance

Given the deterioration of product demand and uncertainty in the macro-economic environment, Greif is providing only a low-end guidance estimate based on current demand trends and price/cost factors in the Paper Packaging and Services business segment. The low-end guidance does not factor in any contribution from the proposed acquisition of Ipackchem.
