We grew volume in all markets, strengthened pricing and navigated
through higher energy costs and a difficult hurricane season. We
upgraded our capabilities to blow are own PET bottles in Puerto Rico to
help offset some of the higher energy costs. Our Caribbean operations
delivered operating profits of $4.2 million.
