On March 28, 2022, we redeemed all $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 4¾% Senior Notes due 2025, or the 4¾% Notes, at a redemption price of 100 percent of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. We funded this redemption with revolving loan borrowings under the Credit Agreement and cash on hand. As a result of this redemption, we recorded a pre-tax charge for the loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.5 million during the first quarter of 2022 for the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs.

Fair Value Measurements
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). GAAP classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into a hierarchy consisting of three levels. Level 1 inputs represent unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs represent unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs represent unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value
The financial assets and liabilities that were measured on a recurring basis at September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 consisted of our cash and cash equivalents and derivative instruments. We measured the fair value of cash and cash equivalents using Level 1 inputs. We measured the fair value of our derivative instruments using the income approach. The fair value of our derivative instruments reflects the estimated amounts that we would pay or receive based on the present value of the expected cash flows derived from market interest rates and prices. As such, these derivative instruments were classified within Level 2.
Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value
Our bank debt, 3¼% Senior Notes, 4⅛% Senior Notes, 2¼% Senior Notes and 1.4% Senior Secured Notes were recorded at historical amounts in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, as we have not elected to measure them at fair value. We measured the fair value of our variable rate bank debt using the market approach based on Level 2 inputs. Fair values of the 3¼% Senior Notes, 4⅛% Senior Notes, 2¼% Senior Notes and 1.4% Senior Secured Notes were estimated based on quoted market prices, a Level 1 input.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Our derivative financial instruments were recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair values. Changes in fair values of derivatives are recorded in each period in earnings or comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction.

We utilize certain derivative financial instruments to manage a portion of our interest rate and natural gas cost exposures. We generally limit our use of derivative financial instruments to interest rate and natural gas swap agreements. We do not engage in trading or other speculative uses of these financial instruments. For a financial instrument to qualify as a hedge, we must be exposed to interest rate or price risk, and the financial instrument must reduce the exposure and be designated as a hedge. Financial instruments qualifying for hedge accounting must maintain a high correlation between the hedging instrument and the item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the hedged period.
We also utilize certain internal hedging strategies to minimize our foreign currency exchange rate risk. Net investment hedges that qualify for hedge accounting result in the recognition of foreign currency gains or losses, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
We have entered intohad two U.S. dollar interest rate swap agreements, each for $50.0 million notional principal amount, to manage a portion of our exposure to interest rate fluctuations, with a fixed rate of 2.878 percent, that matured on March 24, 2023. In March 2023, we entered into four U.S. dollar interest rate swap agreements, each for $75.0 million notional principal amount, to manage a portion of our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. These agreements have a fixed rate of 2.878ranging from 3.930 percent andto 3.942 percent, mature on March 24, 2023.April 3, 2026 and were entered into with financial institutions which are expected to fully perform under the terms thereof. The difference between amounts to be paid or received on our interest rate swap agreements is recorded in interest and other debt expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and was not significant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. These agreements are with a financial institution which is expected to fully perform under the terms thereof.March 31, 2023. The total fair value of our interest rate swapswaps agreements in effect at September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 was not significant.
Natural Gas Swap Agreements
We have entered into natural gas swap agreements to manage a portion of our exposure to fluctuations in natural gas prices. The difference between amounts to be paid or received on our natural gas swap agreements is recorded in cost of goods sold in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and was not significant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. These agreements are with a financial institution which is expected to fully perform under the terms thereof. The total fair value of our natural gas swap agreements in effect at September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 was not significant.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
In an effort to minimize our foreign currency exchange rate risk, we have financed acquisitions of foreign operations primarily with borrowings denominated in Euros. In addition, where available, we have borrowed funds in local currency or implemented certain internal hedging strategies to minimize our foreign currency exchange rate risk related to foreign operations, including net investment hedges related to the 3¼% Senior Notes which are Euro denominated. Foreign currency gains(losses) related to our net investment hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 were $30.2 million and $72.2 million, respectively.$(8.8) million.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies
On July 12, 2022, we concluded a settlement with the European Commission to end a long-running investigation of our metal packaging operations in Europe. This investigation was started in 2015 by the German antitrust authority and was transferred in 2018 to the European Commission. With the settlement, the European Commission closed its investigation and we paid a fine of €23.9 million in October 2022, although we do not fully concur with the facts and legal qualifications put forth by the European Commission.

SalesNet sales and segment incomeadjusted EBIT of our metal containers segment and of part of our dispensing and specialty closures segment are dependent, in part, upon the vegetable and fruit harvests in the United States and, to a lesser extent, in a variety of national growing regions in Europe. The size and quality of these harvests varies from year to year, depending in large part upon the weather conditions in applicable regions. Because of the seasonality of the harvests, we have historically experienced higher unit sales volume in the third quarter of our fiscal year and generated a disproportionate amount of our annual segment incomeadjusted EBIT during that quarter.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022
OverviewNet Sales. Consolidated net sales were $1.97$1.42 billion in the thirdfirst quarter of 2022,2023, a 19.3decrease of $23.6 million, or 1.6 percent, increase as compared to the thirdfirst quarter of 20212022 primarily due to higher average selling prices due to the pass through of higher raw material and other inflationary costs across all segments, higher unitlower volumes in the dispensing and specialty closures and custom containers segments, the impact from unfavorable foreign currency translation, non-recurring net sales associated with Russia in 2022, lower average selling prices due primarily to the pass through of lower resin costs in the custom containers segment and a less favorable mix of products sold in the metal container segment. These decreases were partially offset by higher selling prices primarily related to inflation in other manufacturing costs in each of the segments, higher unit volumes in the metal containers segment and a more favorable mix of products sold in the dispensing and specialty closures and custom containers segments, partially offset by lower unit volumes in the metal containers and custom containers segments and the impact from unfavorable foreign currency translation. Income before interest and income taxes for the third quarter of 2022 was $219.4 million, a $51.5 million increase as compared to the same period in 2021 primarily as a result of higher average selling prices across all segments due to the pass through of inflationary costs, strong operating performances in each of the segments which included the benefit from an inventory management program in the metal containers segment, the favorable impact in the current year period from the delayed pass through of lower resin costs as compared to the unfavorable impact in the prior year period from the delayed pass through of higher resin costs in the dispensing and specialty closures and custom containers segments, a more favorable mix of products sold and higher unit volumes in the dispensing and specialty closures segment and a $0.9 million charge for the write-up of inventory for purchase accounting in the prior year period. These increases were partially offset by inflation in manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs, lower volumes in the metal containers and custom containers segments, and the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation. Results for the third quarters of 2022 and 2021 included rationalization charges of $2.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively. Net income for the third quarter of 2022 was $138.7 million as compared to $106.3 million for the same period in 2021. Net income per diluted share for the third quarter of 2022 was $1.25 as compared to $0.96 for the same period in 2021.segment.
Net Sales. The $319.3 million increase in consolidated net sales in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the third quarter of 2021 was the result of higher net sales across all the segments.
Net sales for the dispensing and specialty closures segment increased $42.1 million, or 7.9 percent, in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. This increase was primarily the result of higher average selling prices due to the pass through of higher raw material and other inflationary costs, higher unit volumes of approximately one percent and a more favorable mix of products sold, partially offset by the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $37 million. The increase in unit volumes was principally the result of higher volumes for dispensing products, including from the acquisitions completed in September 2021, partially offset by expected volume decreases in closures for certain food and beverage markets compared to record pandemic driven volumes in the prior year period.
Net sales for the metal containers segment increased $269.9 million, or 28.6 percent, in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. This increase was primarily the result of higher average selling prices due to the pass through of higher raw material and other manufacturing costs, partially offset by lower unit volumes of approximately nine percent and the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $19 million. The decrease in unit volumes was principally the result of lower volumes of vegetable and fruit cans as compared to higher volumes from customer restocking in the record prior year period and the continued unfavorable impact from customers’ ongoing supply chain and labor challenges in the current year period.
Net sales for the custom containers segment increased $7.3 million, or 4.2 percent, in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. This increase was principally due to a more favorable mix of products sold and higher average selling prices, including the pass through of higher resin and other inflationary costs, partially offset by lower volumes of approximately seven percent and the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $1 million. The decline in volumes was primarily for home, personal care and lawn and garden products.
Gross Profit. Gross profit margin increased 0.6 percentage points to 15.616.8 percent in the thirdfirst quarter of 20222023 as compared to the same period in 20212022 for the reasons discussed below in "Income before Interest and Income Taxes."
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of consolidated net sales decreasedincreased to 4.97.1 percent in the thirdfirst quarter of 20222023 as compared to 5.57.0 percent in the same period in 2021.2022. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $6.4$1.3 million to $96.7$101.3 million for the thirdfirst quarter of 20222023 as compared to $90.3$100.0 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was principally the result of inflation in such expenses in the current year period and the inclusion of selling, general and administrative expenses from the acquisitions completed late in the third quarter and in the fourth quarter of 2021.2022.
Income before InterestOther pension and Income Taxespostretirement expense (income). Income before interestOther pension and income taxes forpostretirement expense in the thirdfirst quarter of 2022 increased by $51.52023 was $1.3 million, as compared to the third quarter of 2021,while other pension and margins increased to 11.1 percent from 10.2 percent over the same periods. The increase in income before interest and income taxes was primarily the result of higher income in all of the
segments and lower corporate expenses. The prior year period included costs attributed to announced acquisitions and a charge for the write-up of inventory for purchase accounting of $4.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively. Rationalization charges were $2.7 million and $2.3 millionpostretirement (income) in the third quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Segment income of the dispensing and specialty closures segment for the third quarter of 2022 increased $19.1 million as compared to the same period in 2021, and segment income margin increased to 13.8 percent from 11.3 percent over the same periods. The increase in segment income was primarily due to higher average selling prices due to the pass through of inflationary costs, the favorable impact in the current year period from the delayed pass through of lower resin costs as compared to the unfavorable impact in the prior year period from the delayed pass through of higher resin costs, strong operating performance, a more favorable mix of products sold, higher unit volumes and a $0.9 million charge for the write-up of inventory for purchase accounting in the prior year period, partially offset by inflation in manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs and the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation.
Segment income of the metal containers segment for the third quarter of 2022 increased $27.0 million as compared to the same period in 2021, and segment income margin remained unchanged at 10.0 percent for both periods. The increase in segment income was primarily due to strong operating performance, including the benefit of an inventory management program, and higher average selling prices due to the pass through of inflationary costs, partially offset by inflation in manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs, lower unit volumes, the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation and higher rationalization charges. Rationalization charges were $2.5 million and $1.8 million in the third quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Segment income of the custom containers segment for the third quarter of 2022 increased $1.6 million as compared to the same period in 2021, and segment income margin increased to 13.3 percent from 12.9 percent over the same periods. The increase in segment income was primarily attributable to the pass through of inflationary costs and the favorable impact in the current year period from the delayed pass through of lower resin costs as compared to the unfavorable impact in the prior year period from the delayed pass through of higher resin costs, partially offset by inflation in manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs and lower volumes.
Interest and Other Debt Expense. Interest and other debt expense for the third quarter of 2022 increased $6.7 million to $33.7 million as compared to $27.0 million in the same period in 2021. This increase was primarily due to higher weighted average outstanding borrowings during the quarter as a result of the acquisitions completed late in the third quarter and in the fourth quarter of 2021 and higher weighted average interest rates, partially offset by lower foreign currency exchange rates on outstanding Euro denominated debt.
Provision for Income Taxes. The effective tax rates were 25.3 percent and 24.6 percent for the third quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate for the thirdfirst quarter of 2022 was unfavorably impacted by higher income generated$(11.3) million. This period -over-period change in less favorable tax jurisdictions.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021
Overview. Consolidated net sales were $4.96 billion in the first nine months of 2022, a 16.9 percent increase as compared to the first nine months of 2021 primarily as a result of higher average selling prices across all segments principally related to the pass through of higher raw materialother pension and other inflationary costs, higher unit volumes in the dispensing and specialty closures segment and a more favorable mix of products sold in the custom containers segment, partially offset by lower volumes in the metal containers and custom containers segments and the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation. Income before interest and income taxes for the first nine months of 2022 increased by $73.4 million as compared to the same period in 2021 primarily due to higher average selling prices across all segments principally due to the pass through of higher raw material and other inflationary costs, strong operating performances in each of the segments including the benefit of inventory management programs in the dispensing and specialty closures and metal containers segments, the favorable impact from the delayed pass through of lower resin costs in the current year period as compared to the unfavorable impact in the prior year period from the delayed pass through of higher resin costs in the dispensing and specialty closures and custom containers segments, higher unit volumes in the dispensing and specialty closures segment, cost recovery for certain customer project expenditures in the dispensing and specialty closures segment and lower rationalization charges. These increases were partially offset by inflation in manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs, lower volumes and a less favorable mix of products sold in the metal containers segment, higher corporate expenses due to the charge for the settlement with the European Commission in the current year period, the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation and lower volumes in the custom containers segment. Results for the first nine months of 2022 and 2021 included rationalization charges of $7.5 million and $13.0 million,
respectively, a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively. Results for the first nine months of 2021 also included costs attributed to announced acquisitions of $4.1 million and a $0.9 million charge for the write-up of inventory for purchase accounting. Net income for the first nine months of 2022 was $316.3 million as compared to $274.0 million for the same period in 2021. Net income per diluted share for the first nine months of 2022 was $2.85 as compared to $2.47 for the same period in 2021.
Net Sales. The $718.3 million increase in consolidated net sales in the first nine months of 2022 as compared to the first nine months of 2021postretirement expense (income) was the result of higher net sales across all the segments.
Net sales for the dispensing and specialty closures segment increased $187.5 million, or 11.8 percent,a lower pension asset balance in the first nine months of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. This increase was primarily the result of higher average selling prices related to the pass through of higher raw material and other inflationary costs and higher unit volumes of approximately three percent, partially offset by the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $81 million. The increase in unit volumes was principally the result of the inclusion of volumes from acquisitions completed in 2021 and higher volumes for beauty and fragrance products, partially offset by expected volume declines for closures for certain food and beverage markets compared to record pandemic driven volumes in the prior year period and2023 due to customer pre-buy activitya lower rate of return on assets in late 2021 in advance of significant metal inflation this year2022, higher pension plan interest cost and a decrease in volumes for garden, hygiene and home cleaning products, which were impacted by further inventory corrections throughout the supply chain.
Net sales for the metal containers segment increased $496.4 million, or 23.4expected long-term rate of return on U.S. pension plan assets in 2023 from 2022. The expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets was decreased from 6.9 percent in the first nine months of 2022 as compared to the same period5.5 percent in 2021. This increase was primarily the result of higher average selling prices related2023 due to the pass through of higher raw material and other manufacturing costs, partially offset by lower unit volumesplanned changes in investment allocations for our U.S. pension plans, which are overfunded with plan assets of approximately eleven129 percent and the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $40 million. The decrease in unit volumes wasprojected benefit obligations at December 31, 2022, to a liability driven investment strategy that more closely matches plan assets with plan liabilities primarily due to the impact of the customer pre-buy activity in late 2021 in advance of significant price increases due to unprecedented metal inflation this year, lower volumes of vegetable and fruit cans as compared to higher volumes from customer restocking in the prior year period and the unfavorable impact from customers' ongoing supply chain and labor challenges in the current year period.
Net sales for the custom containers segment increased $34.4 million, or 6.5 percent, in the first nine months of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. This increase was primarily due to higher average selling prices, which include the pass through of higher resin and other inflationary costs, and a more favorable mix of products sold, partially offset by lower volumes of approximately seven percent and the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $3 million. The decrease in volumes was primarily due to higher volumes in the prior year period as a result of strong pandemic driven demand and subsequent inventory corrections throughout the supply chain in the current year period.
Gross Profit. Gross profit margin decreased 0.2 percentage points to 16.4 percent in the first nine months of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 for the reasons discussed below in "Income before Interest and Income Taxes".
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of consolidated net sales decreased to 6.5 percent for the first nine months of 2022 as compared to 6.6 percent in the same period in 2021. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $38.4 million to $320.5 million for the first nine months of 2022 as compared to $282.1 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was principally the result of a charge of $25.2 million for the settlement with the European Commission, the inclusion of selling, general and administrative expenses from the acquisitions completed late in the third quarter and in the fourth quarter of 2021, and inflation in such expenses in the current year period.using long duration bonds.
Income before Interest and Income Taxes. Income before interest and income taxes for the first nine monthsquarter of 2022 increased2023 decreased by $73.4$12.2 million to $131.2 million as compared to $143.4 million in the first nine monthsquarter of 2021, while2022, and margins decreased slightly to 10.59.3 percent from 10.69.9 percent over the same periods. The increasedecrease in income before interest and income taxes was primarily due to higher income across all the segments and lower rationalization charges, partially offset by higher corporate expenses due to the $25.2 million settlement with the European Commission. Rationalization charges were $7.5 million and $13.0 million for the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Segment income of the dispensing and specialty closures segment for the first nine months of 2022 increased $58.2 million as compared to the same period in 2021, and segment income margin increased to 14.5 percent from 12.6 percent over the same period.

These decreases were partially offset by the favorable impact in the current year period from the lagged contractual pass through of inflation in other manufacturing costs in the metal containers segment, a more favorable mix of products sold in the dispensing and specialty closures segment, higher unit volumes in the metal containers segment, and cost savings and higher prices primarily related to inflation in other manufacturing costs in the custom containers business. Rationalization charges were $4.1 million and $1.4 million in the first quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Interest and Other Debt Expense.Interest and other debt expense for the first quarter of 2023 increased $6.0 million to $36.8 million as compared to $30.8 million in the same period in 2022. This increase was primarily due to higher weighted average interest rates.
Provision for Income Taxes. The effective tax rates were 23.8 percent and 24.6 percent for the first quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2023 was favorably impacted by higher income generated in more favorable tax jurisdictions.
Non-GAAP Measures
Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States are commonly referred to as GAAP. A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined as a financial measure that purports to measure financial performance, financial position or liquidity but excludes or includes amounts that could not be so adjusted in the most comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted EBIT and adjusted EBIT margin are unaudited supplemental measures of financial performance that the Company uses, which are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP and therefore are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to income before interest and income taxes or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any financial data prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company uses such non-GAAP financial measures because it considers them to be important and useful supplemental measures of its and its segments’ financial performance which provide a more complete understanding of the Company and its segments than could be obtained absent such non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that it is important and useful to present these non-GAAP financial measures because they allow for a better period-over-period comparison of results by removing the impact of items that, in management’s view, do not reflect the Company’s or its segments’ core operating performance. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to review and analyze the operating performance of the Company and its segments. Investors and others are urged to review and consider carefully the adjustments made by management to the most comparable GAAP financial measure to arrive at these non-GAAP financial measures.
costs, cost recoveryAdjusted EBIT, a non-GAAP financial measure, means income before interest and income taxes excluding, as applicable, acquired intangible asset amortization expense, other pension expense (income) for certain customer project expenditures and lowerU.S. pension plans, rationalization charges, the impact from charges for the write-up of acquired inventory required under purchase accounting, the charge for the European Commission settlement and costs attributed to announced acquisitions. Adjusted EBIT margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, means adjusted EBIT divided by segment net sales.
Acquired intangible asset amortization expense is a non-cash expense related to acquired operations that management believes is not indicative of the on-going performance of the acquired operations. Since the Company’s U.S. pension plans are significantly over funded and have no required cash contributions for the foreseeable future based on current regulations, management views other pension expense (income) from the Company’s U.S. pension plans, which excludes service costs, as not reflective of the operational performance of the Company or its segments. While rationalization costs are incurred on a regular basis, management views these costs more as an investment to generate savings rather than period costs. The write-up of acquired inventory required under purchase accounting is viewed by management as part of the acquisition and is a non-cash charge that is not considered to be indicative of the on-going performance of the acquired operations. The charge for the European Commission settlement is nonrecurring and non-operational and relates to prior years and is not indicative of the on-going cost structure of the Company or its segments. Costs attributed to announced acquisitions consist of third party fees and expenses that are viewed by management as part of the acquisition and not indicative of the on-going cost structure of the Company. A reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial measures is provided below for the three months ended March 31:

Net sales for the dispensing and specialty closures segment decreased $18.0 million, or 3.0 percent, in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. This decrease was primarily the result of lower unit volumes of approximately six percent, the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $12 million and non-recurring net sales associated with Russia in 2022 of $4.0 million, partially offset by a more favorable mix of products sold and higher selling prices primarily related to inflation in other manufacturing costs. The decrease in unit volumes was principally the result of lower volumes for closures for food and selling, generalbeverage markets due to the timing of customer purchases, partially offset by volume growth in higher margin dispensing products.
Adjusted EBIT of the dispensing and administrativespecialty closures segment for the first quarter of 2023 decreased $13.6 million as compared to the same period in 2022, and adjusted EBIT margin decreased to 14.3 percent from 16.1 percent over the same periods. The decrease in adjusted EBIT was primarily due to the unfavorable impact in the current year period from the delayed pass through of higher resin costs as compared to the favorable impact in the prior year period from the delayed pass through of lower resin costs, the favorable impact in the prior year period from an inventory management program, lower unit volumes and the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation. Rationalization charges were $0.3translation, partially offset by a more favorable mix of products sold.

Net sales for the metal containers segment increased $19.4 million, and $5.7 millionor 3.0 percent, in the first nine monthsquarter of 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. This increase was primarily the result of higher unit volumes of approximately three percent and higher average selling prices due to the lagged contractual pass through of inflation in other manufacturing costs, partially offset by a less favorable mix of products sold, non-recurring net sales associated with Russia in 2022 of $5.5 million and 2021, respectively.the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $4 million. The increase in unit volumes was principally the result of higher volumes primarily for pet food.

Net sales for the custom containers segment decreased $25.0 million, or 12.9 percent, in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. This decrease was principally due to lower volumes of approximately ten percent, the unfavorable impact in the current year period from the pass through of lower resin costs and the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $2 million, partially offset by price increases primarily related to inflation in other manufacturing costs. The decreasedecline in segment income marginvolumes was primarily due to the mathematical consequenceexiting of the pass through of inflation in raw material and other manufacturing costs. Rationalization charges were $7.2 million and $7.1 million in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively.lower margin business that did not meet reinvestment criteria.

Interest and Other Debt Expense. Interest and other debt expense before loss on early extinguishment of debt for the first nine months of 2022 increased $11.8 million to $91.7 million as compared to $79.9 million in the same period in 2021 principally due to higher weighted average outstanding borrowings as a result of the acquisitions completed in 2021, partially offset by lower foreign currency exchange rates on outstanding Euro denominated debt and lower weighted average interest rates primarily as a result of the redemption of the 4¾% Notes with proceeds from revolving loan borrowings under the Credit Agreement and cash on hand. In March 2022, we redeemed all $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 4¾% Notes. In conjunction with this redemption, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2022. In February 2021, we issued the 1.4% Senior Secured Notes due 2026, or the 1.4% Notes, and utilized the proceeds therefrom to prepay outstanding term loans under the Credit Agreement. In conjunction with this prepayment, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2021.
Provision for Income Taxes. The effective tax rates were 26.0 percent and 25.3 percent for the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate in 2022 was unfavorably impacted by the non-deductible settlement with the European Commission and higher income generated in less favorable tax jurisdictions.costs.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Our principal sources of liquidity have been net cash from operating activities and borrowings under our debt instruments, including our senior secured credit facility. Our liquidity requirements arise from our obligations under the indebtedness incurred in connection with our acquisitions and the refinancing of that indebtedness, capital investment in new and existing equipment, the funding of our seasonal working capital needs and other general corporate uses.
On March 28, 2022, we redeemed all $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 4¾% Notes at a redemption price of 100 percent of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. We funded this redemption with revolving loan borrowings under the Credit Agreement and cash on hand. As a result of this redemption, we recorded a pre-tax charge for the loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.5 million during the first quarter of 2022 for the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we used net borrowings of revolving loans and proceeds from other foreign long-term debt of an aggregate of $529.3$756.5 million and cash and cash equivalents of $387.8$84.6 million (including the positive effect of exchange rate changes of $3.8 million) to fund cash used in operations of $631.8 million, net capital expenditures and other investing activities of $67.0 million, decreases in outstanding checks of $61.4 million, the repayment of long-term debt of $50.7 million, dividends paid on our common stock of $20.6 million and repurchases of our common stock of $13.4 million.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we used net borrowings of revolving loans of $520.2 million and cash and cash equivalents of $371.9 million (including the positive effect of exchange rate changes of $1.4 million) to fund the redemption of theour 4¾% Senior Notes and other foreign long-term debt for an aggregate$300.0 million, cash used in operations of $300.3$267.4 million, decreases in outstanding checks of $225.9 million, net capital expenditures and other investing activities of $161.6 million, cash used in operations of $117.5 million,
dividends paid on our common stock of $54.3 million, repurchases of our common stock of $39.4 million and the negative effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents of $18.1 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we used proceeds from the net borrowings of revolving loans of $906.9 million, the issuance of the 1.4% Notes of $499.7 million and cash and cash equivalents of $138.9 million to fund acquisitions for $718.4 million, repayments of long-term debt of $500.0 million, net capital expenditures and other investing activities of $170.8 million, decreases in outstanding checks of $84.2$70.0 million, dividends paid on our common stock of $47.0$18.7 million and repurchases of our common stock of $8.6 million under our stock-based compensation plan, cash used in operations of $5.8 million, debt issuance costs of $4.9 million and the negative effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents of $5.8$11.5 million.
At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had $497.0$755.0 million of revolving loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement. After taking into account outstanding letters of credit, the available portion of revolving loans under the Credit Agreement at September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 was $983.3$724.6 million.
Because we sell metal containers and closures used in fruit and vegetable pack processing, we have seasonal sales. As is common in the industry, we must utilize working capital to build inventory and then carry accounts receivable for some customers beyond the end of the packing season. Due to our seasonal requirements, which generally peak sometime in the summer or early fall, we may incur short-term indebtedness to finance our working capital requirements. Our peak seasonal working capital requirements have historically averaged approximately $350 million. We fund seasonal working capital requirements through revolving loans under the Credit Agreement, other foreign bank loans and cash on hand. We may use the available portion of revolving loans under the Credit Agreement, after taking into account our seasonal needs and outstanding letters of credit, for other general corporate purposes including acquisitions, capital expenditures, dividends, stock repurchases and to refinance or repurchase other debt.
We believe that cash generated from operations and funds from borrowings available under the Credit Agreement and other foreign bank loans will be sufficient to meet our expected operating needs, planned capital expenditures, debt service, tax
obligations, pension benefit plan contributions, share repurchases and common stock dividends for the foreseeable future. We continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities in the consumer goods packaging market and may incur additional indebtedness, including indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, to finance any such acquisition.
We are in compliance with all financial and operating covenants contained in our financing agreements and believe that we will continue to be in compliance during 20222023 with all of these covenants.
Supply Chain Finance Program
We believe that we negotiate the best terms possible with our suppliers, including payment terms. In connection therewith, we initiated a SCF program with a major global financial institution. Under this SCF program, qualifying suppliers may elect, but are not obligated, to sell their receivables from us to such financial institution. A participating supplier negotiates its receivables sale arrangements directly with the financial institution under this SCF program. While we are not party to, and do not participate in the negotiation of, such receivables sale arrangements, such financial institution allows a participating supplier to utilize our creditworthiness in establishing a credit spread in respect of the sale of its receivables from us as well as in establishing other applicable terms. This may provide a supplier with more favorable terms than it would be able to secure on its own. We have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to sell a receivable. Once a qualifying supplier elects to participate in this SCF program and reaches an agreement with the financial institution, the supplier independently elects which individual invoices to us that they sell to the financial institution. All of our payments to a participating supplier are paid to the financial institution on the invoice due date under our agreement with such supplier, regardless of whether the individual invoice was sold by the supplier to the financial institution. The financial institution then pays the supplier on the invoice due date under our agreement with such supplier for any invoices not previously sold by the supplier to the financial institution. Amounts due to a supplier that elects to participate in this SCF program are included in accounts payable in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, and the associated payments are reflected in net cash provided by operating activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Separate from this SCF program, we and suppliers who participate in this SCF program generally maintain the contractual right to require the other party to negotiate in good faith the existing payment terms as a result of changes in market conditions, including changes in interest rates and general market liquidity, or in some cases for any reason. Outstanding trade accounts payables subject to this SCF program were approximately $318.4 million, $372.2 million and $346.8 million at March 31, 2023 and 2022 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risks relating to our operations result primarily from changes in interest rates and, with respect to our international operations, in foreign currency exchange rates. In the normal course of business, we also have risk related to commodity price changes for items such as natural gas. We employ established policies and procedures to manage our exposure to these risks. Interest rate, foreign currency and commodity pricing transactions are used only to the extent considered necessary to meet our objectives. We do not utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.
Information regarding our interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity pricing risk has been disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.2022. Since such filing, other than the changes discussed in Notes 6 andNote 7 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, there has not been a material change to our interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity pricing risk or to our policies and procedures to manage our exposure to these risks.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As required by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, these internal controls.
In 2021, we acquired Gateway Plastics LLC, Unicep Packaging LLC and Easytech Closures S.p.A. We are currently in the process of integrating the internal controls and procedures of these acquired entities into our internal controls over financial reporting. As provided under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we will include the internal controls and procedures of these acquired entities in our annual assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for our 2022 fiscal year.
