When adjusting for these charges, Adjusted Net Income for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $67.0 million, or $0.23 per diluted share. This compares to fourth quarter 2018 Adjusted Net Income of $69.4 million, or $0.23 per diluted share.
For the full year 2019, Net Income was $206.8 million, or $0.70 per share, based on 294.8 million weighted average diluted shares. This compares to 2018 Net Income of $221.1 million, or $0.71 per share, based on 310.1 million weighted average diluted shares.

Michael Doss, the Company's President and CEO said, "We are very pleased with our performance and execution in 2019, as well as the positive momentum we have entering 2020. In 2019, we continued to build on our paperboard packaging leadership position by investing in our operations and in our people, successfully executing strategic M&A, capturing performance gains and setting the stage for net organic volume growth. Full year 2019 Adjusted EBITDA increased 6.1% to $1.03 billion, driven primarily by pricing actions and our performance initiatives. We expect to generate 100 to 200 basis points of sustainability supported net organic volume growth in 2020, driven by conversion of new and existing customers to our paperboard packaging solutions. Graphic Packaging is well-positioned to achieve another year of improved profitability and growth."
Initial $250 Million Acquisition of International Paper's Minority Interest in Partnership
Graphic Packaging Holding Company announces today that International Paper has notified the Company of its intent to begin the process of reducing its ownership interest in Graphic Packaging International Partners, LLC (the "Partnership"). Per the agreement between the parties, Graphic Packaging will purchase approximately 15.1 million partnership units from International Paper for $250.0 million. As a result, International Paper's ownership interest in the Partnership will decrease from approximately 21.6% to 18.3%. The purchase will be funded with a draw on Graphic Packaging's domestic revolving credit facility. At the end of 2019, the Company had availability under the domestic revolving facility in excess of $1.4 billion. International Paper has the contractual right to continue to reduce its minority ownership interest in the Partnership every 180 days with the next potential transaction date in July 2020, subject to modification by the parties.
Michael Doss added, "Our strong cash flow generation and healthy balance sheet provide us the flexibility to purchase the initial $250 million of minority interest from International Paper. The 2018 transaction with International Paper has successfully created value for our customers and stakeholders while building a leading integrated paperboard packaging platform. We appreciate the confidence International Paper placed in us to build and grow the business. The transaction significantly increased our addressable market and vertical integration opportunities, while accelerating our presence in fiber-based packaging solutions."
Settlement of Approximately $900 Million in U.S. Pension Plan Obligations
The Company is also announcing the settlement of approximately $900 million in pension obligations related to its largest U.S. pension plan. The benefit obligations will be settled through a combination of lump sum payments made in the fourth quarter of 2019 to plan participants electing such payments and the purchase of a group annuity contract to transfer the remaining pension benefit obligations to an annuity provider in the first quarter of 2020. The Company took a non-cash settlement charge of $39.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 related to the lump sum payments. The Company anticipates taking a non-cash settlement charge of approximately $150 million in the first quarter of 2020 related to the transfer of the liability to the annuity provider.
$40 Million Acquisition of a Folding Carton Facility from Quad/Graphics, Inc.
Finally, the Company announces that it has reached an agreement to acquire a folding carton facility from Quad/Graphics, Inc. for $40.0 million, subject to standard closing conditions.

The business generates approximately $75 million in revenue, consumes roughly 40,000 tons of paperboard, and is expected to generate approximately $7 million in annualized EBITDA including synergies over the next 24 months. The anticipated close date for the transaction is January 31st.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The tables below set forth the calculation of the Company's earnings before interest expense, income tax expense, equity income of unconsolidated entities, depreciation and amortization, including pension amortization ("EBITDA"), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Adjusted Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities, Adjusted Cash Flow, Net Leverage Ratio and Total Net Debt. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income exclude charges (income) associated with: the Company's business combinations, facility shutdowns, extended mill outage, sale of assets and other special charges. The Company's management believes that the presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Adjusted Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities, Adjusted Cash Flow, and Net Leverage Ratio provides useful information to investors because these measures are regularly used by management in assessing the Company's performance. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Adjusted Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities, Adjusted Cash Flow, and Net Leverage Ratio are financial measures not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), and are not measures of net income, operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Adjusted Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities, Adjusted Cash Flow, and Net Leverage Ratio should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered substitutes for or superior to GAAP results. In addition, our EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Adjusted Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities, Adjusted Cash Flow, and Net Leverage Ratio may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures utilized by other companies since such other companies may not calculate such measures in the same manner as we do.
