expected to carry throughout FY17; that the Multi Packaging Solutions transaction advances our strategy to provide differentiated, high value-added
solutions to our customers, enhances our capabilities to serve new and existing customers, expands our participation into attractive end markets, creates
meaningful synergy and performance improvement opportunities of $85 million by end of FY19, increases our paperboard consumption by approx. 225k

forecasts, assumptions, risks and uncertainties. WestRock cautions readers that a forward-looking statement is not a guarantee of future performance
and that actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statement. Such forward-looking statements include statements
such as that (i) the acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive to WestRock’s financial results, both on an earnings per share and cash flow basis,
inclusive of purchase accounting adjustments; (ii) WestRock expects to refinance existing MPS debt assumed as part of the transaction upon closing; (iii)
the combination creates opportunities to drive margin expansion and enhanced financial returns through a combination of increased vertical integration
and identified synergies; (iv) this is a highly strategic transaction consistent with our balanced capital allocation strategy that we expect will generate
compelling growth and returns; (v) MPS brings strong complementary print, graphics and design capabilities that will enhance WestRock’s presence in
the growing healthcare and consumer markets; (vi) the acquisition further broadens WestRock’s differentiated product portfolio, and provides WestRock
with a point of entry into attractive markets that will allow its brands to differentiate with new applications and new technologies; (vii) the acquisition will
create the opportunity to vertically integrate production, utilizing WestRock’s SBS supply; (viii) there are substantial productivity improvement and cost
synergy opportunities in areas such as production asset rationalization, procurement and SG&A, and in total, these integration and cost reduction
opportunities are expected to generate $85 million in run-rate synergies by fiscal year-end 2019; and (ix) the transaction is expected to close in fiscal Q3
2017. With respect to these statements, WestRock has made assumptions regarding, among other things, the results and impacts of the acquisition of
MPS; whether and when the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act expires or terminates; whether and when antitrust
approvals in the European Union, China, Canada and Mexico are obtained; whether and when the other conditions to the completion of the MPS
acquisition, including the receipt of MPS shareholder approval, will be satisfied; economic, competitive and market conditions generally; volumes and
price levels of purchases by customers; competitive conditions in WestRock's businesses and possible adverse actions of their customers, competitors
and suppliers. Further, WestRock's businesses are subject to a number of general risks that would affect any such forward-looking statements. Such risks
and other factors that may impact management's assumptions are more particularly described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including in Item 1A under the caption "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016. The
information contained herein speaks as of the date hereof and WestRock does not have or undertake any obligation to update or revise its forward-

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Credit Agreement EBITDA
“Credit Agreement EBITDA” is calculated in accordance with the definition contained in our Credit Agreement. Credit Agreement EBITDA is
generally defined as Consolidated Net Income plus: consolidated interest expense, income taxes of the consolidated companies determined in
accordance with GAAP, depreciation and amortization expense of the consolidated companies determined in accordance with GAAP, loss on
extinguishment of debt and financing fees, certain non-cash and cash charges incurred, including goodwill impairment, certain restructuring and
other costs, merger / acquisition and integration costs, charges and expenses associated with the write-up of inventory acquired and other
items. LTM Credit Agreement EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing LTM Credit Agreement EBITDA by Net Sales adjusted for Trade Sales.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow
Free Cash Flow is defined as Cash Provided by Operating Activities, excluding after-tax cash restructuring costs minus capital expenditures.
We believe the most directly comparable GAAP measure is net cash provided by operating activities. Management believes this is an important
measure in evaluating our financial performance and measures our ability to generate cash without incurring additional external financings.
Total Funded Debt and Leverage Ratio
“Total Funded Debt” is calculated in accordance with the definition contained in our Credit Agreement. Total Funded Debt is generally defined
as aggregate debt obligations reflected in our balance sheet less the stepped up value of said debt, less non-recourse debt except for
Securitization related debt, less trade payables related debt that may be recharacterized as debt, less insurance policy loans to the extent offset
by assets of the applicable insurance policies, obligations with the hedge adjustments resulting from terminated and existing fair value interest
rate derivatives or swaps, if any, less certain cash, plus additional outstanding letters of credit not already reflected in debt and certain
guarantees.
Our management uses Credit Agreement EBITDA and Total Funded Debt to evaluate compliance with our debt covenants and borrowing
capacity available under our Credit Agreement, as a measure of operating performance and to compare to our target Leverage Ratio of 2.25x –
2.50x. Management believes that investors also use these measures to evaluate our compliance with our debt covenants and available
borrowing capacity. Borrowing capacity is dependent upon, in addition to other measures, the “Credit Agreement Debt/EBITDA ratio” or the
“Leverage Ratio,” which is defined as Total Funded Debt divided by Credit Agreement EBITDA. As of the December 31, 2016 calculation, our
Leverage Ratio was 2.38 times. While the Leverage Ratio under the Credit Agreement determines the credit spread on our debt we are not
subject to a Leverage Ratio cap. The Credit Agreement is subject to a Debt to Capitalization and Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio, as
defined in the Credit Agreement.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (cont.)
Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margins
Our management uses “Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margins”, along with other factors, to evaluate our segment performance against our peers.
Management believes that investors also use this measure to evaluate our performance relative to our peers. “Adjusted Segment EBITDA
Margin” is calculated for each segment by dividing that segment’s Adjusted Segment EBITDA by Adjusted Segment Sales. “Adjusted Segment
EBITDA” is calculated for each segment by adding that segment’s “Adjusted Segment Income” to its Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization.
Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share
We also use the non-GAAP measure “adjusted earnings per diluted share,” also referred to as “adjusted earnings per share” or “Adjusted EPS.”
Management believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides our board of directors, investors, potential investors, securities analysts and
others with useful information to evaluate our performance because it excludes restructuring and other costs, net, and other specific items that
management believes are not indicative of the ongoing operating results of the business. We and our board of directors use this information to
evaluate our performance relative to other periods.
Forward-looking Guidance
We are not providing forward-looking guidance for U.S. GAAP reported financial measures or a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP
financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate
outcome of certain significant items without unreasonable effort. These items include, but are not limited to, merger and acquisition-related
expenses, restructuring expenses, asset impairments, litigation settlements, changes to contingent consideration and certain other gains or
losses. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on U.S. GAAP reported results for the guidance
period.
