MWV Reports Third Quarter 2008 Results

MeadWestvaco Corporation (NYSE: MWV) today reported third quarter 2008 income from continuing operations of $46 million, or $0.26 per share. Sales from continuing operations increased 8 percent to $1.81 billion in the third quarter of 2008 compared to $1.68 billion in the third quarter of 2007. Overall sales increased due to growth in bleached board, home and garden and beverage packaging and improved pricing across all businesses. Profitability, however, was lower due to historically high input cost inflation, downtime due to the Gulf storms, which negatively impacted year-over-year productivity improvement in the quarter, and the effects of unfavorable foreign currency exchange.
