OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW Pro Forma Operating Results Three month period ended 31 March 2013 and 2012. As both the aluminium packaging business acquired from Exal Corporation on 1 March 2012 (Boxal), and the glass packaging business acquired on March 23, 2012 (Leone) were acquired in March 2012, and the acquisition of the US glass packaging business Anchor which occurred on August 20, 2012, the consolidated results for the three months ended 31 March 2012 include one month of results relating to Boxal and seven days relating to Leone. Thus, we believe it is more useful to review Revenue and EBITDA for the Glass Packaging and Metal Packaging divisions on a pro forma basis, as if the acquisitions had occurred on 1 January 2012.

The information below refers to actual results as shown on page 16 for the three months to 31 March 2013.

Depreciation and amortisation Depreciation and amortisation charges were €72.5 million in the three months ended 31 March 2013. Depreciation and amortisation charges increased by €23.2 million from €49.3 million for the three months ended 31 March 2012. The increase was driven by acquisitions and movements in foreign exchange rates.

Exceptional Items Exceptional items of €1.8 million were included in cost of sales for the three months ended 31 March 2013. These were comprised of: -

€1.3 million of exceptional restructuring costs in relation to the final planned exceptional expense relating to our metal footprint reorganisation programme €0.5 million of exceptional costs associated with new site start-up costs

Exceptional items of €35.7 million related to directly attributable acquisition costs were included in sales, general and administration expenses for the three months ended 31 March 2013. Exceptional items of €2.9 million were included in net finance expense for the three months ended 31 March 2013. These related to costs associated with early settlement of the ANZ BOSI debt facility.

Net Finance Expense Net finance expense before exceptional items for the three months ended 31 March 2013 was €103.8 million compared to €44.7 million in 2012, an increase of €59.1 million. The significant components of this difference were: Three Months

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 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 Packaging and Metal Packaging 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 and demand for our metal products is largely related to agricultural harvest periods. The investment in working capital for Glass Packaging typically peaks in the first quarter. The investment in working capital for Metal Packaging 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. Ardagh Packaging Holdings Limited

Review of the Quarter Pro forma revenues in the seasonally quiet first quarter to 31 March 2013 were flat compared with the prior year at €961.4 million. This was a reasonable performance given continued challenging economic conditions in our markets. A harsh and prolonged winter in both of our main regions had some impact on volumes, while the timing of the Easter holiday impacted March trading, in Europe in particular. In our Glass business, revenues grew by 3.0% to €480.6 million on a pro forma basis, reflecting volume/mix gains and higher selling prices. In Europe, we remain predominantly focused on Northern markets and revenues in our major sectors were up year on year, despite generally poor weather. Revenues in North America were up 2% year on year. The Metal division experienced a revenue decline of 3.3% to €480.8 million for the quarter. In Europe, which represents over 80% of our Metal revenues, economic conditions led to continued subdued demand in most sectors and turnover declined by 3.5%. Constant currency turnover in our Other Metal businesses, comprising North America and Asia Pacific, was little changed. Group EBITDA was €142.2 million in the quarter, compared with €162.2 million on a pro forma basis. In our Glass business, EBITDA was broadly stable year on year. Europe was in part impacted by higher costs, chiefly energy and labour, some of which will be recovered later this year. It was also compared with a particularly strong first quarter of 2012, when EBITDA rose by 23%. Our North American Glass business grew pro forma EBITDA, reflecting solid underlying trading and further efficiencies arising from integration into the Group. Metal EBITDA was impacted by generally slow European markets, where pricing remained down year on year. Costs included approximately €5 million due to the impairment of receivables in our Southern Italian operations, which have been reduced in size. In line with established patterns our first quarter saw a seasonal cash outflow. Reported EBITDA for the quarter to March 2013 of €142.2 million compared with €130.3 million in 2012. The working capital outflow of €113.3 million was lower than last year’s €116.6 million, despite the increased size of the Group. Capital expenditure increased from €35.2 million in 2012 to €49.1 million this year reflecting growth in the Group’s operations. Resulting operating cash flow for the quarter was a reduced seasonal outflow of €24.8 million compared with €27.8 million in 2012. On 17 January 2013, we agreed to acquire Verallia North America (“VNA”) from Compagnie de Saint-Gobain for USD1.7 billion. We expect to complete this transaction later this year, following which North America will represent over 40% of Group sales and over 60% of our Glass Packaging business. Our end-market mix in the US will also be broadened. In connection with this acquisition, the Group issued €250.0 million and $420.0 million in senior secured notes and $850.0 million in senior notes in January 2013.

Prospective Financing Arrangements In order to support continued business growth and value-creation for our stakeholders, we are currently evaluating the possible private sale of a minority stake in the form of an equity or equity-linked instrument. If we were to conclude such a transaction, we would expect to raise in excess of $500 million, and the investment would be made in ARD Finance or one of its parent entities. There can be no assurance that any such sale will be completed.

Financing Activity in 2013 Issue of $420.0 million 4.875% First Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2022, $850.0 million 7.000% Senior Notes due 2020 and €250.0 million 5.000% First Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2022 On 17 January 2013, Ardagh announced that it has successfully raised a total of US$1,270.0 million, through the issue of US$420.0 million 4.875% First Priority Senior Secured Notes, due 2022, and US$850.0 million 7.000% Senior Notes, due 2020, and €250.0 million, through the issue of Euro denominated 5.000% First Priority Senior Secured Notes, due 2022. The proceeds from the issue and sale of the Notes will be used to pay the cash consideration for the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of VNA, and for general corporate purposes, including repayment of existing debt. The proceeds to be used to purchase the entire issued share capital of VNA will remain in escrow until completion of the acquisition occurs. BOSI Australasian Senior Banking Facility Agreement On 22 February 2013, the Group repaid the senior bank debt and revolving credit facilities with Bank of Scotland International. This facility was originally established to finance the acquisition by Impress of Amcor Limited’s Food and Aerosol business in Australia and New Zealand on 31 October 2007. As of 31 December 2012, there was €72.7 million outstanding on and €11.8 million available under, the Australasian Senior Bank Facility. Bank of America Merrill Lynch Asset Based Facility Upon acquisition, Anchor had in place a revolving credit facility with Bank of America N.A. which was modified and taken over by Ardagh Glass Inc. The facility was primarily designed to secure stand-by letters of credit and other forms of bank guarantees which were outstanding in favour of suppliers and energy hedges. In addition the facility provided for a limited amount of liquidity support. The Amended Revolving Credit Facility contained customary affirmative and negative covenants and restrictions for transactions, including without limitation, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, and asset dispositions outside of the ordinary course of business, restricted payments, and transactions with affiliates, change of control, prepayments and cancellation of indebtedness and fundamental business changes and requires maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. On February 15, 2013, it was replaced by a $100.0 million amended and restated loan and security agreement. The new facility which matures on February 15, 2017 also includes a $40.0 million letter of credit sub limit and is secured by a first priority lien over inventory and accounts receivable for Ardagh Glass Inc. The new facility was put in place to support the working capital needs of the Glass North America business. While the new facility contains affirmative and negative covenants and restrictions on transactions it is much more in tune with the needs of the business, provides a great degree of flexibility and doesn’t contain any maintenance covenants.

Footnotes to the Selected Financial Information

(1)

EBITDA is operating profit/ (loss) before depreciation, amortisation 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. Summary of significant accounting policies Basis of preparation This condensed consolidated interim financial information for the quarter ended 31 March 2013, 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 2012, which has been prepared in accordance with IFRS's 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), 1986. Statutory accounts for Ardagh Packaging Holdings Limited for the year ended 31 December 2011, upon which the auditors have given an unqualified audit report, have been filed with the Registrar of Companies in Ireland. Statutory accounts for Ardagh Packaging Holdings Limited for the year ended 31 December 2012 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 Ardagh Packaging Holdings Limited annual report for the year to 31 December 2012, 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 and interpretations which are effective for the financial year beginning 1 January 2013 The following new standards, amendments and interpretations became effective in 2013: •

The Group has applied the amendments to IAS 19, ‘Employee Benefits’ from 1 January 2013. The revised standard requires that the interest cost be determined by reference to the net pension liability (or asset) and the year-end discount rate and that the costs of administering the pension schemes in the year be charged to the income statement directly rather than as an addition to service cost or a reduction of the expected return on assets. The application of the revised standard has resulted in a restatement of the period ended 31 March 2012 comparative amounts in the consolidated income statement as follows: an increase in cost of sales of €0.4 million; a decrease in finance expense of €2.6 million; a decrease in finance income of €3.7 million; an overall decrease in reported net profit of €1.5 million. In addition, the re-measurement of employee benefit obligations for the period ended 31 March 2012 in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income is €1.5 million lower as a result of the restatement. The net impact on equity is nil.



The Group has applied IFRS 13, ‘Fair value measurement’. IFRS 13 does not result in material changes to the group’s results or net assets rather the standard sought to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across IFRS. The requirements of the standard did not extend the use of fair value accounting but provided guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within IFRS.



The Group has applied the amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. The revised standard which requires the grouping of items of other comprehensive income that may be reclassified to profit or loss at a future point in time separately from those items which will never be reclassified affects presentation only and does not impact the Group’s financial position or performance. The group has adopted the revised standard with effect from 1 January 2013.

There are no other accounting standards or IFRIC's that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group. IFRS 3R Business Combinations - measurement window fair value adjustments In accordance with IFRS 3R Business Combinations, fair value adjustments in relation to the provisional purchase price allocation have occurred during the measurement window as a result of accounting policy alignments. Consequently, goodwill has increased by approximately €0.5 million since 31 December 2012. The increase in goodwill has arisen due to the following: increases in property, plant and equipment of €3.9 million, deferred tax assets of €0.3 million, and trade and other payables of €0.3 million and a decrease in inventory of €4.4 million. Reclassification of prior year comparative figures The group has performed a reassessment of the income statement classification relating to certain labour costs which has resulted in a change in classification being applied to the previously disclosed income statement. This change in classification has resulted in the reclassification between cost of sales and sales, general and administration expenses of €2.6 million. This reclassification has no impact on the consolidated statement of financial position or profits as previously reported.

There have been no changes in the classification of financial instruments as level 1, 2 or 3 or in respect of the valuation techniques used in determining fair value since year end. As indicated in note 2, the condensed consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2012. Issue of $420.0 million 4.875% First Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2022, $850.0 million 7.000% Senior Notes due 2020 and €250.0 million 5.000% First Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2022 On 17 January 2013, Ardagh announced that it has successfully raised a total of US$1,270.0 million, through the issue of US$420.0 million 4.875% First Priority Senior Secured Notes, due 2022, and US$850.0 million 7.000% Senior Notes, due 2020, and €250.0 million, through the issue of Euro denominated 5.000% First Priority Senior Secured Notes, due 2022. The proceeds from the issue and sale of the Notes will be used to pay the cash consideration for the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of VNA, and for general corporate purposes, including repayment of existing debt. The proceeds to be used to purchase the entire issued share capital of VNA will remain in escrow until completion of the acquisition occurs. BOSI Australasian Senior Banking Facility Agreement On 22 February 2013, the Group repaid the senior bank debt and revolving credit facilities with Bank of Scotland International. This facility was originally established to finance the acquisition by Impress of Amcor Limited’s Food and Aerosol business in Australia and New Zealand on 31 October 2007. As of 31 December 2012, there was €72.7 million outstanding on and €11.8 million available under, the Australasian Senior Bank Facility. Bank of America Merrill Lynch Asset Based Facility Upon acquisition, Anchor had in place a revolving credit facility with Bank of America N.A. which was modified and taken over by Ardagh Glass Inc. The facility was primarily designed to secure stand-by letters of credit and other forms of bank guarantees which were outstanding in favour of suppliers and energy hedges. In addition the facility provided for a limited amount of liquidity support. The Amended Revolving Credit Facility contained customary affirmative and negative covenants and restrictions for transactions, including without limitation, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, and asset dispositions outside of the ordinary course of business, restricted payments, and transactions with affiliates, change of control, prepayments and cancellation of indebtedness and fundamental business changes and requires maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. On February 15, 2013, it was replaced by a $100.0 million amended and restated loan and security agreement. The new facility which matures on February 15, 2017 also includes a $40.0 million letter of credit sub limit and is secured by a first priority lien over inventory and accounts receivable for Ardagh Glass Inc. The new facility was put in place to support the working capital needs of the Glass North America business. While the new facility contains affirmative and negative covenants and restrictions on transactions it is much more in tune with the needs of the business, provides a great degree of flexibility and doesn’t contain any maintenance covenants.

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. Based on the reports reviewed by the CODM, management has determined that the group has five operating segments. Management reviewed the organisation of its Metal Packaging business at 31 December 2012, and based on changes to how the CODM reviews the Metal Packaging business to assess performance and make strategic decisions, determined that there are three operating segments in Metal Packaging being Metal Packaging Europe, Metal Packaging Asia Pacific and Metal Packaging North America. The latter two operating segments do not meet the thresholds for separate disclosure as reportable segments and therefore, in accordance with IFRS8, are combined and disclosed in an all others segments category labelled as Metal Packaging Other. The three reportable segments are Metal Packaging Europe, Glass Packaging Europe and Glass Packaging North America for the period ending 31 March 2013. 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 before depreciation, amortisation and exceptional items (“EBITDA”).

Exceptional items

The Group’s income statement and segmental analysis separately identify results before specific items. Specific items are those that in our judgement need to be disclosed by virtue of their size, nature or incidence. The Group believe 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 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 outstanding at 31 March 2013 are classified as exceptional items payable.

The income tax charge for the three month period ended 31 March has been impacted as a result of the following factors: -

Additional bond finance raised during January as indicated in Note 6. In certain instances, the interest expense arising as a result of debt issuances gives rise to the non-recognition of deferred tax assets following an assessment in respect of the future realisation of deferred tax assets.

-

Non-deductible / non-taxable foreign currency translation (losses) / gains which have arisen during the period.

Discrete period events such as legislative changes and tax rulings related to jurisdictions in which the group operates.

12. Business combinations Anchor Acquisition On 20 August 2012, Ardagh Group completed the purchase of 100% of the equity of US-based Anchor Glass Container Corporation (since renamed Ardagh Glass Inc. “AGI”) from private investment funds managed by Wayzata Investment Partners LLC. AGI, which is headquartered in Tampa, Florida, is a technologically advanced manufacturer of glass containers serving the North American food and beverage industries. AGI is the third largest glass container manufacturer in the US. It produces approximately 5.6 billion containers annually from its eight facilities located in the United States and employs approximately 2,700 people. AGI has annual revenues of approximately US$800.0 million (€656.0 million). The acquisition represented a strategic investment and a very significant step in, developing the Group’s operations in the US and increased the size of the Group’s global Glass Packaging division by almost 50%. It resulted in some 21% of group sales revenue being generated from the US, and also places the group in a leading position in the US glass industry with approximately 23% market share. The total disbursement for the Anchor acquisition was as follows: $m

The purchase price allocation is still subject to any final fair value adjustments that may occur during the remainder of the measurement window that are necessary to account for the acquisition in accordance with IFRS 3R Business Combinations and, on that basis, is therefore considered provisional at 31 March 2013. €m Consideration paid for the purchase of the equity interest

The allocations set forth above are based on management’s estimate of the fair values. The detailed reviews of the fair values of plant and equipment and intangible assets involving outside specialists are substantially complete. The values in the table above are based on all information available to the Group at the present time and are subject to change due to the finalisation of fair value adjustments and review of trade working capital. Such changes could be material. The goodwill arising on the acquisition is disclosed within the Glass packaging-North America segment (Note 7); however, management expects that the finalisation of the process to determine fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired may have an impact on goodwill. The goodwill arising from the acquisition is attributable to acquired workforce, manufacturing and process know-how and market position. The goodwill recognised is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The fair value of trade and other receivables is €45.8 million and includes trade receivables with a fair value of €43.0 million. Acquisition related costs of €1.0 million were recognised as an expense during the financial period and are classified as exceptional items in the consolidated income statement for the period ended 31 March 2013.

13. Employee benefit obligations 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 benefit obligations as at 31 March 2013. This has resulted in the Group not recording a remeasurement during the three month period ended 31 March 2013.

14. Related party transactions (a) Yeoman group of companies As at 31 March 2013, Yeoman Capital S.A. owned 39.31% of the ordinary shares of Ardagh Group S.A. One of APHL’s directors, Mr. Paul Coulson, also serves as a director of companies within the Yeoman Group of companies.

(b) Key management compensation The key management compensation will be disclosed in the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2013.

(c) Joint ventures As at 31 March 2013, the Group owed €0.7 million to EuraGlass Recycling GmbH and owed €1.2 million to Copal.

(d) Ardagh Packaging Holdings Limited and its parent undertakings Ardagh Packaging Group Ltd (“APG Ltd”) At the period-end, APHL owed €1.3 million to its intermediate parent company APG Ltd. Ardagh Group S.A. (“ASA”) At the period-end, APHL was due €1.9 million from its ultimate parent company ASA.

17. Seasonality of operations Both our Glass Packaging and Metal Packaging 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 Packaging typically peaks in the first quarter. The investment in working capital for Metal Packaging 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.
