First Quarter 2014 Results

Sales for the first quarter of 2014 increased 67.7% to $609.7 million, compared
to $363.6 million for the first quarter of 2013, with 4.2% organic growth, 8.2%
positive currency translation and the balance primarily from the Avery Dennison,
INT and Sancoa acquisitions.


Operating income (a non-IFRS measure; see note 2 below) for the first quarter of
2014 was $88.6 million, an increase of 43.1% compared to $61.9 million for the
comparable quarter of 2013. The Label Segment posted a 22.8% increase in
operating income while the Container Segment posted a 13.2% increase in
operating income for the comparable first quarters. The Avery Segment recorded a
strong first quarter with a $13.1 million operating income.


EBITDA (a non-IFRS measure; see note 1 below) was $117.8 million for the first
quarter of 2014, an increase of 45.4% compared to $81.0 million for the first
quarter of 2013, driven principally by above noted acquisitions. EBITDA improved
36.8% excluding the impact of currency translation.


The Company's joint ventures contributed equity earnings of $0.1 million
compared to $0.4 million for the 2013 first quarter, with the current period
including start-up costs in Thailand and Saudi Arabia. Russia was negatively
impacted by the declining ruble to the euro.


Tax expense in the first quarter of 2014 was $22.2 million compared to $14.2
million in the prior year period. The effective tax rates for these two periods
are 29.7% and 29.6%, respectively.


Net earnings for the 2014 first quarter were $52.6 million, compared to $34.1
million for the first quarter of 2013. Basic earnings per Class B share were
$1.54 in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $1.01 per Class B share in the
prior year quarter.


During the first quarter of 2014, the Company recorded restructuring and other
expenses of $0.9 million principally related to severance and transaction costs
associated with the Sancoa acquisition and reorganization. During the first
quarter of 2013, the Company recorded restructuring and other expenses of $1.3
million. Therefore the Company posted adjusted basic earnings (a non-IFRS
measure; see note 3 below) of $1.56 per Class B share for the first quarter of
2014 compared to adjusted basic earnings of $1.04 per Class B share for the same
quarter of 2013.


Geoffrey T. Martin, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are
excited to report another record quarter with our legacy business outperforming
the very strong 2013 prior year period and acquisitions delivering better than
expected results; particularly our new Avery consumer arm. The comparatively
weaker Canadian dollar against many currencies, notably excluding the Brazilian
real, translated to ten cents earnings per share positive impact; partially
offset by transaction challenges in certain international markets due to the
rising U.S. dollar and euro. Nonetheless, strong operational results, successful
acquisition integrations and a currency tailwind combined to deliver our
fourteenth consecutive quarter of year-over-year improvement in adjusted
earnings per share."


Mr. Martin continued, "CCL Label sales increased 36% driven by acquisitions,
solid 5% organic growth and positive currency translation. North American sales
improved sequentially but were comparatively flat organically on sluggish
consumer staples demand in the United States influenced by the tough winter.
Underlying profits were up moderately but strong automotive demand continued to
drive good results at CCL Design alongside solid performance aided by cost
reduction and renewed focus at the rest of the acquired operations from Avery
Dennison. Excluding acquisitions, European sales and profitability were up
mid-single digits in local currencies as demand improved in our consumer and
automotive businesses with the Food & Beverage sector an area of strength aided
by exports to Africa. Emerging Markets posted double digit sales increases with
particular strength in China and Mexico, although growth rates softened
appreciably from 2013 levels in Brazil compounded by the decline of the real.
Our joint ventures posted solid underlying results held in check by start-up
costs in Thailand, softer mix and foreign exchange challenges in the Middle East
and the devaluation of the ruble to the euro in Russia. Overall profitability
continued to improve for the Segment with margins compressed only due to the
acquisition mix effect."


Mr. Martin then added, "Results at Avery significantly exceeded expectations
with an operating income of $13 million in its seasonally slow quarter often
noted for operating losses in pre-acquisition prior year periods. Cost saving
initiatives globally and market share gains in the United States in the
important label category were the primary drivers. North America and Europe both
delivered robust results ahead of our plans with Latin American and Asia Pacific
performance solid. The supply chain facilities consolidation progressed smoothly
without service disruption and is heading for a successful completion later this
year. After all the changes in the second half of last year, we are pleased to
see the organization settle down with renewed energy and focus on innovation
fueled by a very good start to 2014."


Mr. Martin then added, "Winter weather and a robust prior year period impacted
volume comparisons at CCL Container. January was particularly affected but
demand accelerated as the period progressed culminating in a strong March. Sales
for the quarter in local currencies fell slightly but profits improved with the
benefit of a stronger U.S. dollar and lower operating costs at our Canadian
plant offsetting slower sales in Mexico. Results included $0.2 million of our
budgeted $4 million move expense to redistribute capacity from the
Penetanguishene facility to our U.S. and Mexican operations. We remain committed
to deliver $10 million in annualized cost savings once the transition is
completed in early to mid-2015."


Mr. Martin continued, "The Sancoa acquisition closed late in the quarter
alongside a series of small transactions around the world. Given the stub
reporting period, combined results were not material to our earnings but the
quarter end financial position reflects transaction purchase prices. We began
restructuring initiatives in our North American Home & Personal Care sector in
view of the Sancoa acquisition and remain committed to our $5 million target in
annualized synergies by 2016."


Mr. Martin concluded, "Debt increased by $124 million in the first quarter due
largely to the Sancoa acquisition and currency translation; cash on hand was
$194 million. However, with significantly improved results the consolidated net
debt to annualized EBITDA leverage ratio remained a comfortable 1.6 times. Given
our strong cash flow and prospects for the balance of the year, your Board of
Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per Class B non-voting
share and $0.2375 per Class A voting share payable to shareholders of record at
the close of business on June 16, 2014, to be paid on June 30, 2014. CCL has
delivered dividends to shareholders without omission or reduction for over 30
years."

(1) EBITDA is a critical non-IFRS financial measure used extensively in the
packaging industry and other industries to assist in understanding and measuring
operating results. It is also considered as a proxy for cash flow and a
facilitator for business valuations. This non-IFRS financial measure is defined
as earnings before net finance cost, taxes, depreciation and amortization,
goodwill impairment loss, earnings in equity accounted investments, non-cash
acquisition accounting adjustment to finished goods inventory and restructuring
and other items. See section entitled "Supplementary Information" below for a
reconciliation of operating income to EBITDA. The Company believes that it is an
important measure as it allows management to assess CCL's ongoing business
without the impact of net finance cost, depreciation and amortization and income
tax expenses, as well as non-operating factors and one-time items. As a proxy
for cash flow, it is intended to indicate CCL's ability to incur or service debt
and to invest in property, plant and equipment, and it allows management to
compare CCL's business to those of CCL's peers and competitors who may have
different capital or organizational structures. EBITDA is a measure tracked by
financial analysts and investors to evaluate financial performance and is a key
metric in business valuations. EBITDA is considered an important measure by
lenders to the Company and is included in the financial covenants of CCL's
senior notes and bank lines of credit.


(2) Operating Income is a key non-IFRS financial measure used to assist in
understanding the profitability of the Company's business units. This non-IFRS
financial measure is defined as income before corporate expenses, net finance
cost, goodwill impairment loss, earnings in equity accounted investments,
restructuring and other items, and taxes.


(3) Adjusted Basic Earnings per Class B Share is an important non-IFRS financial
measure used to assist in understanding the ongoing earnings performance of the
Company excluding items of a one-time or non-recurring nature. It is not
considered a substitute for basic net earnings per Class B share but it does
provide additional insight into the ongoing financial results of the Company.
This non-IFRS financial measure is defined as basic net earnings per Class B
share excluding gains on dispositions, goodwill impairment loss, restructuring
and other items Avery and DES finance costs, non-cash acquisition accounting
adjustment to finished goods inventory and tax adjustments.

The financial information presented herein has been prepared on the basis of
 IFRS for financial statements and is expressed in Canadian dollars unless  
 otherwise stated.                                                          



This press release contains forward-looking information and forward-looking
statements (hereinafter collectively referred to as "forward-looking
statements"), as defined under applicable securities laws, that involve a number
of risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include all statements
that are predictive in nature or depend on future events or conditions.
Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the words "believes,"
"expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "intends," "plans" or similar
expressions. Statements regarding the operations, business, financial condition,
priorities, ongoing objectives, strategies and outlook of the Company, other
than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements.
Specifically, this press release contains forward-looking statements regarding
the anticipated growth in sales, income and profitability of the Company's
segments; and the Company's expectations regarding general business and economic
conditions.


Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They
involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties relating to future events and
conditions including, but not limited to, the after-effects of the global
financial crisis and its impact on the world economy and capital markets; the
impact of competition; consumer confidence and spending preferences; general
economic and geopolitical conditions; currency exchange rates; interest rates
and credit availability; technological change; changes in government
regulations; risks associated with operating and product hazards; and CCL's
ability to attract and retain qualified employees. Do not unduly rely on
forward-looking statements as the Company's actual results could differ
materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are also based on a number of assumptions, which may
prove to be incorrect, including, but not limited to, assumptions about the
following: global economic recovery and higher consumer spending; improved
customer demand for the Company's products; continued historical growth trends,
market growth in specific sectors and entering into new sectors; the Company's
ability to provide a wide range of products to multinational customers on a
global basis; the benefits of the Company's focused strategies and operational
approach; the achievement of the Company's plans for improved efficiency and
lower costs, including stable aluminum costs; the availability of cash and
credit; fluctuations of currency exchange rates; the Company's continued
relations with its customers; general business and economic conditions, and the
Company's ability to realize targeted operational synergies and cost savings
from the restructuring of Avery, Sancoa and the Canadian Container operation.
Should one or more risks materialize or should any assumptions prove incorrect,
then actual results could vary materially from those expressed or implied in the
forward-looking statements. Further details on key risks can be found in the
2013 Management's Discussion and Analysis, particularly under Section 4: "Risks
and Uncertainties." CCL's annual and quarterly reports can be found online at
www.cclind.com and www.sedar.com or are available upon request.


Except as otherwise indicated, forward-looking statements do not take into
account the effect that transactions or non-recurring or other special items
announced or occurring after the statements are made may have on CCL's business.
Such statements do not, unless otherwise specified by the Company, reflect the
impact of dispositions, sales of assets, monetizations, mergers, acquisitions,
other business combinations or transactions, asset write-downs or other charges
announced or occurring after forward-looking statements are made. The financial
impact of these transactions and non-recurring and other special items can be
complex and depends on the facts particular to each of them and therefore cannot
be described in a meaningful way in advance of knowing specific facts.


The forward-looking statements are provided as of the date of this press release
and the Company does not assume any obligation to update or revise the
forward-looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances, except as
required by law.




Note: CCL will hold a conference call at 2:00 p.m. EDT on May 1, 2014, to   
      discuss these results. The analyst presentation will be posted on the 
      Company's website.

Due to the seasonality of CCL's business, the Company's operating results for
the three months ended March 31, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2014. The
first and second quarters are traditionally higher sales periods for the Label
and Container Segments as a result of the greater number of work days and
various customer activities undertaken during this period versus the third and
fourth quarters of the year. For Avery, the third quarter has historically been
its strongest, as it benefits from the increased demand related to
back-to-school activities in North America.


Certain comparative segment information has been recast to conform with current
period presentation.
