RISK

• WestRock expects higher natural gas and freight cost due to coming winter months. This will impact its margins in the first quarter fiscal 2021.
• The folding carton markets remain challenged by weak primary demand for processed, frozen, and dry foods. This is in line with the ongoing consumer preference for fresh foods .
