“It is a pleasure to report that Jarden continued to deliver on its financial goals during the second quarter, while generating our second highest cash flow from operations for any second quarter,” said Martin E. Franklin, Executive Chairman. “We have just completed our three day global strategic planning meeting and I am extremely excited by our extensive line of new product offerings, which should be a key driver of growth over the next several years. One of our targeted growth initiatives is growing the Marmot brand, and as the world prepares for the start of the Olympics this week in London, I’m delighted that the seven million expected spectators will be able to see firsthand Marmot’s latest flagship store. The location, next to the main Olympic venue in London, not only showcases Marmot’s technical performance offerings, but also features our Zoot line of triathlon products, as worn by Javier Gomez who is competing in the triathlon event for Spain.”

James E. Lillie, Chief Executive Officer commented, “We delivered strong organic growth during the quarter, marking our 11th consecutive quarter of achieving organic growth. Our strong sales performance in our Branded Consumables and Consumer Solutions segments reflects the advantages of Jarden’s diversified business model, where the inevitable seasonal fluctuations in certain businesses in any particular quarter can typically be mitigated by the general positive momentum across many of our businesses. This top line performance, coupled with significant gross margin expansion, allowed us to report a record second quarter earnings. We look forward to carrying our positive momentum into the second half of the year.”

Please see the schedule accompanying this release for a reconciliation of non-GAAP segment earnings, adjusted net income, adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share and organic net sales growth to the comparable GAAP measures.

Notes to Earnings Release

Note 1: Adjustments relate to items that are excluded from the “As Reported” results to arrive at the “Adjusted” results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, adjustments to net income included $4.0 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets and the tax benefit adjustment of $0.8 million, which reflects the normalization of the adjusted results to the Company’s estimated 35% effective tax rate.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, adjustments to net income consist of $4.7 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets. Also, included in the adjustments to net income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 is the tax benefit adjustment of $1.1 million which reflects the normalization of the adjusted results to the Company’s estimated 35.5% effective tax rate.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, adjustments to net income included $8.6 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets and the tax benefit adjustment of $1.1 million, which reflects the normalization of the adjusted results to the Company’s estimated 35% effective tax rate.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, adjustments to net income consist of $6.7 million primarily associated with the manufacturer’s profit in inventory charged to cost of sales which is the purchase accounting fair value adjustment to inventory associated with the Quickie acquisition and $9.4 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets. Also, included in the adjustments to net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 is the tax provision adjustment of $6.7 million which reflects the normalization of the adjusted results to the Company’s estimated 35.5% effective tax rate.

Note 2: Organic net sales growth is a non-GAAP measure of net sales growth excluding the impacts of foreign exchange, significant acquisitions, and exited business from year-over-year comparisons. The Company believes this measure provides investors with a more complete understanding of the underlying sales trends by providing net sales on a consistent basis. Organic net sales growth is also one of the measures used by management to analyze operating performance. The following table provides a reconciliation of organic net sales growth to the comparable GAAP measure of net sales growth for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012:

Note 3: This earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures that may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. For purposes of Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of income, balance sheets, or statements of cash flows of the Company; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures are provided because management of the Company uses these financial measures in maintaining and evaluating the Company’s ongoing financial results and trends. Management uses this non-GAAP information as an indicator of business performance, and evaluates overall management with respect to such indicators. Additionally, the Company uses non-GAAP financial measures because the Company’s credit agreement provides for certain adjustments in calculations used for determining whether the Company is in compliance with certain credit agreement covenants, including, but not limited to, adjustments relating to non-cash purchase accounting adjustments, non-cash impairment charge of goodwill, intangibles and other assets, certain reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs, transaction and integration costs, non-cash Venezuela hyperinflationary and devaluation charges, gains and losses as a result of currency fluctuations, gain on the sale of the domestic business, non-cash stock-based compensation costs, loss on early extinguishment of debt and other items. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
