Newell Rubbermaid Reports Second Quarter 2011 Results

»    Sales growth of 5.1%;

»    Normalized EPS of $0.46

ATLANTA, July 29, 2011 – Newell Rubbermaid (NYSE: NWL) today announced second quarter 2011 sales growth of 5.1%, gross margin of 37.5 percent and normalized diluted earnings per share of $0.46.

“Overall our second quarter performance was in line with the guidance we communicated in early June,” said Michael Polk, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are experiencing good progress in many areas of the business. Our new product innovations are gaining traction in the marketplace, and our Latin America and Asia Pacific businesses continue to deliver strong growth. This underlying momentum is tempered by difficult U.S. and European economies and the ongoing challenges in the baby and parenting category. In this context we now expect to deliver core sales growth in the back half between three and five percent. This lower sales growth expectation will translate to full year normalized EPS in the range of $1.55 – $1.62 and operating cash flow between $520 and $560 million.”

Polk, who recently joined the company as President and CEO, added “I am very excited to be leading Newell Rubbermaid. I believe we have the people, brands and resources required to deliver our upside potential. There are significant opportunities to accelerate growth and improve the profitability of our business by more effective commercialization of our products and innovation, more complete deployment of our portfolio across our existing channel and geographic footprint and by expanding more aggressively into faster growing emerging markets. To get this done, we will continue to improve our cost structure and reduce working capital to free up the fuel for growth.”

Net sales in the second quarter were $1.57 billion, an increase of 5.1 percent over the prior year. Core sales grew 1.9 percent and foreign currency had a positive 3.2 percent impact on sales. The company estimates that core sales in the prior year’s second quarter were negatively impacted by approximately $35 million due to pre-buying by certain customers in anticipation of an April 2010 SAP go live. Adjusting for this timing difference, second quarter 2011 core sales would have declined by 0.4 percent.

Gross margin for the quarter was 37.5 percent, down 175 basis points from last year due to higher than usual overhead absorption that benefitted the second quarter 2010. In addition, pricing actions lagged input cost inflation in the current year quarter.

Second quarter operating income, on a normalized basis, was $207.9 million, or 13.2 percent of sales, excluding $10.0 million of restructuring and restructuring-related costs incurred in connection with the European Transformation Plan. In 2010, normalized operating income was $226.3 million, or 15.1 percent of sales, excluding $22.8 million in Project Acceleration restructuring costs and restructuring-related costs incurred in connection with the European Transformation Plan.

The normalized tax rate for the quarter was 26.0 percent compared to 24.8 percent in the prior year. The year-over-year change in tax rate was primarily driven by the geographical mix in earnings.

Normalized earnings were $0.46 per diluted share compared to prior year normalized results of $0.51 per diluted share, as higher sales volume, pricing actions and interest expense savings were offset by the impact of input cost inflation and higher strategic SG&A spending. For the second quarter 2011, normalized diluted earnings per share exclude $0.03 per diluted share for restructuring and restructuring-related costs associated with the European Transformation Plan, net of tax, and $0.07 per diluted share resulting from the reversal of certain tax contingencies due to the expiration of various worldwide statutes of limitation. For the second quarter 2010, normalized diluted earnings per share exclude $0.06 per diluted share for restructuring and restructuring-related costs, net of tax, $0.05 per diluted share of dilution related to the conversion feature of the convertible notes issued in March 2009 and the impact of associated hedge transactions, and a benefit of $0.01 per diluted share related to the impact of hyperinflationary accounting for the company’s Venezuelan operations. (A reconciliation of the “as reported” results to “normalized” results is included below.)

Net income, as reported, was $146.7 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, for the second quarter. This compares to net income of $130.4 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, in the prior year.

The company generated operating cash of $92.8 million during the second quarter, compared to $154.0 million in the comparable period last year. Higher accounts receivable balances due to a shift in the timing of back-to-school orders and the settlement of customer program payments are the primary drivers of the year-over-year change in operating cash flow. Capital expenditures were $51.2 million in the second quarter compared to $37.8 million in the prior year.

A reconciliation of the second quarter 2011 and last year’s results is as follows:

Six Months Results

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased 2.6 percent to $2.88 billion, compared to $2.80 billion in the prior year. Core sales increased 0.2 percent for the six months and foreign currency translation increased net sales by 2.4 percent.

Gross margin was 37.6 percent, a 20 basis point decline versus the prior year, as productivity gains and pricing largely offset the effect of input cost inflation.

Normalized earnings were $0.75 per diluted share compared to $0.77 per diluted share in the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, normalized earnings exclude the same items as those in the second quarter 2011, as well as $0.01 per diluted share for a loss related to the retirement of convertible notes. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, normalized earnings excluded the same items as those in the second quarter 2010. (A reconciliation of the “as reported” results to “normalized” results is included below.)

Net income, as reported, was $222.4 million, or $0.75 per diluted share. This compares to $188.8 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, in the prior year.

The company used operating cash flow of $15.5 million during the first six months of 2011 compared to a generation of $183.4 million in the prior year. The year-over-year change in operating cash flow is primarily driven by the settlement of customer programs and higher inventory levels in anticipation of international expansion and new product introductions. Capital expenditures were $96.1 million, compared to $69.3 million in the prior year.

A reconciliation of the first six months 2011 and last year’s results is as follows:

On July 1, 2011, the company divested its BernzOmatic torch and solder business, which generated 2010 sales of $101 million with gross margin below company fleet average. Beginning in the third quarter of 2011, financial results of the BernzOmatic business will be accounted for as discontinued operations in both 2010 and 2011. The impact of the discontinued operations accounting treatment on 2010 and 2011 financial results will be made available simultaneously with the company’s third quarter earnings results. The transaction is anticipated to be marginally dilutive to normalized earnings in both years. “This transaction is squarely in line with our strategy of strengthening the portfolio to drive faster growth and improve our return on invested capital,” said Polk. “Disposing of less strategic businesses and eliminating the related structural cost overhead allows us to focus resources on those businesses and opportunities that can create the most value for our shareholders.”

2011 Full Year Outlook

The company’s second half expectation for core sales growth of three to five percent results in revised guidance for full year 2011 core sales growth of one to three percent. In addition, foreign currency is expected to have an approximate two point positive impact on full year sales.

Gross margin is still expected to improve 40 to 60 basis points with the combination of productivity, mix and pricing more than offsetting input cost inflation.

The company now expects normalized earnings per diluted share in the range of $1.55 to $1.62.

The company’s 2011 normalized EPS expectation excludes approximately $8 million related to the incremental costs associated with its CEO transition and between $80 and $85 million of restructuring and other plan-related costs associated with the company’s European Transformation Plan. The company continues to expect to realize annualized net income improvement of $55 to $65 million upon completion of the European Transformation Plan in 2012, and estimates the initiative will result in aggregate restructuring and other Plan-related costs of $110 to $115 million. (A reconciliation of the “as reported” results to “normalized” results is included below.)

Operating cash flow is now projected at between $520 and $560 million for the full year, including approximately $90 to $100 million in restructuring and restructuring-related cash payments. The company plans to fund capital expenditures of approximately $200 million during the year.

The earlier guidance provided by the company in its June 3, 2011 press release included core sales growth of three to four percent, normalized earnings per diluted share growth of between five and ten percent (or $1.60 to $1.67) and operating cash flow of more than $550 million.

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this presentation that are not historical in nature constitute forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements relate to information or assumptions about the effects of sales, income/(loss),
earnings per share, operating income or gross margin improvements or declines, Project Acceleration, the
European Transformation Plan, the Capital Structure Optimization Plan, capital and other expenditures, cash
flow, dividends, restructuring and restructuring-related costs, costs and cost savings, inflation or deflation,
particularly with respect to commodities such as oil and resin, debt ratings, and management's plans, projections
and objectives for future operations and performance. These statements are accompanied by words such as
"anticipate," "expect," "project," "will," "believe," "estimate" and similar expressions. Actual results could differ
materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements include, but are not
limited to, our dependence on the strength of retail, commercial and industrial sectors of the economy in light of
the global economic slowdown; currency fluctuations; competition with other manufacturers and distributors of
consumer products; major retailers' strong bargaining power; changes in the prices of raw materials and sourced
products and our ability to obtain raw materials and sourced products in a timely manner from suppliers; our
ability to develop innovative new products and to develop, maintain and strengthen our end-user brands; our
ability to expeditiously close facilities and move operations while managing foreign regulations and other
impediments; our ability to implement successfully information technology solutions throughout our organization;
our ability to improve productivity and streamline operations; changes to our credit ratings; significant increases
in the funding obligations related to our pension plans due to declining asset values or otherwise; the imposition
of tax liabilities greater than our provisions for such matters; the risks inherent in our foreign operations and
those factors listed in the company’s latest quarterly report on Form 10-Q, and exhibit 99.1 thereto, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Changes in such assumptions or factors could produce significantly
different results. The information contained in this presentation is as of the date indicated. The company
assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this news release as a result of
new information or future events or developments.

Gross Margin of 37.6%, down 20 basis points from the prior year as
productivity gains and pricing largely offset the effect of input cost
inflation 
Normalized EPS of $0.75, compared to $0.77 in the prior year
Operating Cash used during the period was $15.5 million, compared to
cash generation of $183.4 million in the prior year
Year-over-year change primarily driven by the settlement of
customer programs and higher inventory levels in anticipation of
international expansion and new product introductions.
