Packaging Corporation of America, or PCA, is the fifth largest producer of containerboard and corrugated products in the United States, based on production capacity. During the first quarter of 2009, we produced approximately 515,000 tons of containerboard at our mills, of which about 80% was consumed in our corrugated products manufacturing plants, 12% was sold to domestic customers and 8% was sold in the export market. Our corrugated products manufacturing plants sold about 6.7 billion square feet (bsf) of corrugated products during the first quarter of 2009. Our net sales to third parties totaled $512.4 million in the first quarter. Besides containerboard, we produce a wide variety of products ranging from basic corrugated shipping containers to specialized packaging, such as wax-coated boxes for the agriculture industry. We also have multi-color printing capabilities to make high-impact graphics boxes and displays that offer our customers more attractive packaging. Our operating facilities and customers are located primarily in the United States.
