When used in this report, the words anticipate, intend, plan, estimate, believe, expect, project, could, will, should, may and similar expressions are also intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words.

Since these forward-looking statements are based upon our current expectations of future events and projections and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control and some of which may change rapidly, actual results or outcomes may differ materially from those expressed or implied herein, and you should not place undue reliance on these statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied herein include, without limitation:

• the effects of political or economic conditions, terrorist attacks, acts of war or other unrest in international markets.

Some of the above-mentioned factors are described in further detail in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in our annual and quarterly reports (including this report), as applicable. You should assume the information appearing in this report is accurate only as of the end of the period covered by this report, or as otherwise specified, as our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since that date. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States (“U.S.”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, to reflect actual results or changes in factors or assumptions affecting such forward-looking statements.

SPECTRUM BRANDS HOLDINGS, INC.

SB/RH HOLDINGS, LLC

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in millions, unaudited)

This report is a combined report of Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. (“SBH”) and SB/RH Holdings, LLC (“SB/RH”) (collectively, the “Company”). The notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements that follow include both consolidated SBH and SB/RH notes, unless otherwise indicated below.

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries in accordance with accounting principles for interim financial information generally accepted in the United States and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations. It is management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. This ASU requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new revenue recognition model requires identifying the contract and performance obligations, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to performance obligations and recognizing the revenue upon satisfaction of performance obligations. This ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This ASU can be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the updates recognized at the date of the initial application along with additional disclosures. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Deferral of the Effective Date, which amends the previously issued ASU to provide for a one year deferral from the original effective date. As a result, the ASU will become effective for us beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, with early adoption available to us beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending September 30, 2018. We are assessing the impact this pronouncement will have on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and have not determined the materiality or method of adoption.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes the lease requirements in ASC 840, Leases. This ASU requires lessees to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, as well as disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Although the ASU requires both operating and finance leases to be disclosed on the balance sheet, a distinction between the two types still exists. The ASU can be applied using a modified retrospective approach, with optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply, relating to the identification and classification of leases that commenced before the effective date, along with the ability to use hindsight in the evaluation of lease decisions. The ASU will become effective for us beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending September 30, 2020, with early adoption available. We are assessing the impact this pronouncement will have on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and have not determined the materiality or method of adoption.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which requires an employer to disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net periodic pension costs within the statement of income. The amendment provides guidance requiring the service cost component to be recognized consistent with other compensation costs arising from service rendered by employees during the period, and all other components to be recognized separately outside of the subtotal of income from operations. The ASU is applied on a retrospective basis, and will become effective for us in the first quarter of the year ending September 30, 2019; with early adoption available to us in the first quarter of the year ending September 30, 2018. The net periodic benefit cost for the year ended September 30, 2016 was $4.5 million; of which the service cost component was $2.9 million and other components were $1.6 million. The net periodic benefit cost for the year ending September 30, 2017 will be $7.6 million, of which the service cost component is $3.9 million and other cost components are $3.8 million.

8

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the test for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. If goodwill impairment is realized, the amount recognized will be the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however the loss recognized cannot exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The ASU must be applied on a prospective basis and will become effective for us beginning in the first quarter of the year ended September 30, 2021, with early adoption available. We chose to adopt the standard immediately, with no impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

On October 6, 2016, the Company entered into the first amendment to the credit agreement under its Term Loans and Revolver Facility (the “Credit Agreement”) reducing the interest rate margins applicable to the USD Term Loans to either adjusted LIBOR (International Exchange London Interbank Offered Rate), subject to a 0.75% floor plus margin of 2.50% per annum, or base rate with a 1.75% floor plus margin of 1.50% per annum. The Company recognized $1.0 million of costs in connection with amending the Credit Agreement that has been recognized as interest expense. On March 6, 2017, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement expanding the overall capacity of the Revolver Facility to $700 million, reducing the interest rate margin to either adjusted LIBOR plus margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.25%, or base rate plus margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.25%, reducing the commitment fee to 35bps, and extending the maturity to March 2022. The Company recognized $2.6 million of costs in connection with amending the cash revolver that has been deferred as debt issuance costs. Subsequent to the six months ended April 2, 2017, on April 7, 2017, the Company entered into a third amendment to the credit agreement under its Term Loans reducing the interest rate margins applicable to the USD Term Loans to either adjusted LIBOR plus margin of 2.00% per annum, or base rate plus margin of 1.00%.

Subsequent to the amendments to the Credit Agreement discussed above, the Term Loans and Revolver Facility are subject to variable interest rates, (i) the USD Term Loan is subject to either adjusted LIBOR, subject to a 0.75% floor plus margin of 2.00% per annum, or base rate with a 1.75% floor plus margin of 1.00% per annum, (ii) the CAD Term Loan is subject to either CDOR (Canadian Dollar Offered Rate), subject to a 0.75% floor plus 3.50% per annum, or base rate with a 1.75% floor plus 2.50% per annum, (iii) the Euro Term Loan is subject to either EURIBOR (Euro Interbank Offered Rate), subject to a 0.75% floor plus 2.75% per annum, with no base rate option available and (iv) the Revolver Facility is subject to either adjusted LIBOR plus margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.25% per annum, or base rate plus margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.25% per annum. As a result of borrowings and payments under the Revolver Facility, at April 2, 2017, the Company had borrowing availability of $472.3 million, net outstanding letters of credit of $24.7 million and a $1.5 million amount allocated to a foreign subsidiary.

The Credit Agreement, solely with respect to the Revolver Facility, contains a financial covenant test on the last day of each fiscal quarter on the maximum total leverage ratio. This is calculated as the ratio of (i) the principal amount of third party debt for borrowed money (including unreimbursed letter of credit drawings), capital leases and purchase money debt, at period-end, less cash and cash equivalents, to (ii) adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months. The maximum total leverage ratio should be no greater than 6.0 to 1.0. Additionally, as of April 2, 2017, we were in compliance with all other covenants under the Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the 6.625% Notes, the 6.125% Notes, the 5.75% Notes, and the 4.00% Notes.

On October 20, 2016, the Company redeemed the remaining outstanding aggregate principal on the 6.375% Notes of $129.7 million with a make whole premium of $4.6 million recognized as interest expense for the six month period ended April 2, 2017 in connection with the issuance of the €425 million aggregate principal amount 4.00% unsecured notes due 2026 (the “4.00% Notes”) and repurchase of the 6.375% Notes on September 20, 2016. The Company recognized $1.9 million in interest expense for previously deferred debt issuance costs associated with the 6.375% notes.

NOTE 10 - DERIVATIVES

Cash Flow Hedges

Commodity Swaps. The Company is exposed to risk from fluctuating prices for raw materials, specifically zinc and brass used in its manufacturing processes. The Company hedges a portion of the risk associated with the purchase of these materials through the use of commodity swaps. The hedge contracts are designated as cash flow hedges with the fair value changes recorded in AOCI and as a hedge asset or liability, as applicable. The unrecognized changes in fair value of the hedge contracts are reclassified from AOCI into earnings when the hedged purchase of raw materials also affects earnings. The swaps effectively fix the floating price on a specified quantity of raw materials through a specified date. At April 2, 2017, the Company had a series of zinc and brass swap contracts outstanding through August 2018. The derivative net gains estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months is $2.6 million, net of tax. The Company had the following commodity swap contracts outstanding as of April 2, 2017 and September 30, 2016.

	April 2, 2017				September 30, 2016
(in millions, except notional)	Notional		Contract Value		Notional		Contract Value
Zinc swap contracts		6.8 Tons	$	15.7		6.7 Tons	$	12.8
Brass swap contracts		1.4 Tons	$	6.1		1.0 Tons	$	4.0

Foreign exchange contracts. The Company periodically enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge a portion of the risk from forecasted foreign currency denominated third party and intercompany sales or payments. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars or Japanese Yen. These foreign exchange contracts are cash flow hedges of fluctuating foreign exchange related to sales of product or raw material purchases. Until the sale or purchase is recognized, the fair value of the related hedge is recorded in AOCI and as a derivative hedge asset or liability, as applicable. At the time the sale or purchase is recognized, the fair value of the related hedge is reclassified as an adjustment to Net Sales or purchase price variance in Cost of Goods Sold on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. At April 2, 2017, the Company had a series of foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding through September 2018. The derivative net gains estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months is $2.2 million, net of tax. At April 2, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the Company had foreign exchange derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges with a notional value of $252.9 million and $224.8 million, respectively.

Net Investment Hedge

On September 20, 2016, SBI issued €425 million aggregate principal amount of 4.00% Notes. The 4.00% Notes are denominated in Euros and were designated as a net investment hedge of the translation of the Company’s net investments in Euro denominated subsidiaries at the time of issuance. As a result, the translation of the Euro denominated debt is recognized as AOCI with any ineffective portion recognized as foreign currency translation gains or losses on the statement of income when the aggregate principal exceeds the net investment in its Euro denominated subsidiaries. Net gains or losses from the net investment hedge are reclassified from AOCI into earnings upon a liquidation event or deconsolidation of Euro denominated subsidiaries. As of April 2, 2017, the hedge was fully effective and no ineffective portion was recognized in earnings.

Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedges for Accounting Purposes

Foreign exchange contracts. The Company periodically enters into forward and swap foreign exchange contracts to economically hedge a portion of the risk from third party and intercompany payments resulting from existing obligations. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, Taiwanese Dollars, Hong Kong Dollars or Australian Dollars. These foreign exchange contracts are economic hedges of a related liability or asset recorded in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The gain or loss on the derivative hedge contracts is recorded in earnings as an offset to the change in value of the related liability or asset at each period end. At April 2, 2017, the Company had a series of forward exchange contracts outstanding through December 2017. At April 2, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the Company had $202.4 million and $131.4 million, respectively, of notional value of such foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding.

Commodity Swaps. The Company periodically enters into commodity swap contracts to economically hedge the risk from fluctuating prices for raw materials, specifically the pass-through of market prices for silver used in manufacturing purchased watch batteries. The Company hedges a portion of the risk associated with these materials through the use of commodity swaps. The swap contracts are designated as economic hedges with the unrealized gain or loss recorded in earnings and as an asset or liability at each period end. The unrecognized changes in the fair value of the hedge contracts are adjusted through earnings when the realized gains or losses affect earnings upon settlement of the hedges. The swaps effectively fix the floating price on a specified quantity of silver through a specified date. At April 2, 2017, the Company had a series of commodity swaps outstanding through September 2017. The Company had the following commodity swaps outstanding as of April 2, 2017 and September 30, 2016:

	April 2, 2017				September 30, 2016
(in millions, except notional)	Notional		Contract Value		Notional		Contract Value
Silver		10.4 troy oz.	$	0.2		31.0 troy oz.	$	0.6

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s outstanding derivative contracts recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position is as follows:

Total Derivative Liabilities		$	2.2	$	3.2

The Company is exposed to the risk of default by the counterparties with which it transacts and generally does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company monitors counterparty credit risk on an individual basis by periodically assessing each counterparty’s credit rating exposure. The maximum loss due to credit risk equals the fair value of the gross asset derivatives that are concentrated with certain domestic and foreign financial institution counterparties. The Company considers these exposures when measuring its credit reserve on its derivative assets, which was less than $0.1 million as of April 2, 2017 and September 30, 2016.

The Company’s standard contracts do not contain credit risk related contingent features whereby the Company would be required to post additional cash collateral as a result of a credit event. However, the Company is typically required to post collateral in the normal course of business to offset its liability positions. As of April 2, 2017 and September 30, 2016, there was no cash collateral outstanding. In addition, as of April 2, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the Company had no posted standby letters of credit related to such liability positions. The cash collateral is included in Other Receivables in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

NOTE 15 - INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate for the three and six month periods ended April 2, 2017 and April 3, 2016 is as follows:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	April 2, 2017			April 3, 2016			April 2, 2017			April 3, 2016
SBH		36.1	%		(2.8	)%		34.1	%		2.6	%
SB/RH		36.1	%		9.8	%		34.6	%		9.1	%

The estimated annual effective tax rate applied to these periods differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% principally due to income earned outside the U.S. that is subject to statutory rates lower than 35% net of U.S. and non-U.S. taxes provided on income earned outside the U.S. that is not permanently reinvested. For the three and six month periods ended April 3, 2016, the effective tax rate was reduced for the release of valuation allowance on U.S. net deferred tax assets. For the six month period ended April 3, 2016, the effective tax rate was also reduced by $5.9 million for non-recurring items related to the impact of tax law changes in state deferred tax rates on the Company’s net deferred tax liabilities.

NOTE 16 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company identifies its segments based upon the internal organization that is used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments. The Company manufactures, markets and/or distributes multiple product lines through various distribution networks, and in multiple geographic regions. The Company manages its business in five vertically integrated, product-focused reporting segments: (i) Global Batteries & Appliances, which consists of the Company’s worldwide battery and lighting products, electric personal care and small appliances businesses; (ii) Hardware & Home Improvement, which consists of the Company’s worldwide hardware, security and plumbing business; (iii) Global Pet Supplies, which consists of the Company’s worldwide pet supplies business; (iv) Home and Garden, which consists of the Company’s home and garden and insect control business and (v) Global Auto Care, which consists of the Company’s automotive appearance and performance products.

During the third quarter of the year ended September 30, 2016, the Company changed its performance metric to adjusted EBITDA to better reflect how the Chief Operating Decision Maker is currently evaluating the business and making operating decisions. All amounts for prior periods have been recast to reflect current presentation. EBITDA is calculated by excluding the Company’s income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation expense and amortization expense (from intangible assets) from net income. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes: (1) share based compensation expense as it is a non-cash based compensation cost; (2) acquisition and integration costs that consist of transaction costs from acquisition transactions during the period, or subsequent integration related project costs directly associated with the acquired business; (3) restructuring and related costs, which consist of project costs associated with restructuring initiatives across the segments; (4) non-cash purchase accounting inventory adjustments recognized in earnings subsequent to an acquisition; (5) non-cash asset impairments or write-offs realized; (6) and other. During the three and six month periods ended April 2, 2017, other adjustments consist of professional fees associated with non-acquisition based strategic initiatives of the Company. During the three and six month periods ended April 3, 2016, other adjustments consists of costs associated with the exiting of a key executive, coupled with onboarding a key executive. The following is a reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA for the three and six month periods ended April 2, 2017 and April 3, 2016, respectively:

Refinancing Activity

See Note 9, “Debt” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere within this Quarterly Report, for additional detail regarding debt. The following recent financing activity has a significant impact on the comparability of financial results on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

On October 6, 2016, the Company entered into the first amendment to the credit agreement under its Term Loans, reducing the interest rate margins applicable to the USD Term Loan to adjusted LIBOR subject to a 0.75% floor plus margin of 2.50% per annum, or base rate with a 1.75% floor plus margin of 1.50% per annum. On March 6, 2017, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement expanding the overall capacity of the Revolver Facility to $700 million, reducing the interest rate margin to either adjusted LIBOR plus margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.25%, or base rate plus margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.25%, reducing the commitment fee to 35bps, and extending the maturity to March 2022.

On September 20, 2016, we issued €425 million aggregate principal amount of 4.00% unsecured notes due 2026 (the “4.00% Notes”). The proceeds from the 4.00% Notes and draws on the Revolver were used to repay our outstanding 6.375% unsecured notes due 2020 (the “6.375% Notes”) and pay fees and expenses in connection with the refinancing. The Company repurchased $390.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 6.375% Notes through a cash tender offer on September 20, 2016, with the remaining outstanding aggregate principal amount of $129.7 million subsequently redeemed by the Company during the three month period ended January 1, 2017.

Restructuring Activity

We continually seek to improve our operational efficiency, match our manufacturing capacity and product costs to market demand and better utilize our manufacturing resources. We have undertaken various initiatives to reduce manufacturing and operating costs, which may have a significant impact on the comparability of financial results on the condensed consolidated financial statements. The most significant of these initiatives are the GAC Business Rationalization Initiative, which began in the three month period ended July 3, 2016 and anticipated to be incurred through September 30, 2017; and the HHI Distribution Center Consolidation, which began in the three month period ended April 2, 2017 and is anticipated to be incurred through December 31, 2019. See Note 4, “Restructuring and Related Charges” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere within this Quarterly report for additional detail.

Non-GAAP Measurements

Our consolidated and segment results contain non-GAAP metrics such as organic net sales, and adjusted EBITDA (“Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization”). While we believe organic net sales and adjusted EBITDA are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace our financial results in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and should be read in conjunction with those GAAP results.

Organic Net Sales. We define organic net sales as net sales excluding the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and/or impact from acquisitions (when applicable). We believe this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors because it reflects regional and operating segment performance from our activities without the effect of changes in currency exchange rate and/or acquisitions. We use organic net sales as one measure to monitor and evaluate our regional and segment performance. Organic growth is calculated by comparing organic net sales to net sales in the prior year. The effect of changes in currency exchange rates is determined by translating the period’s net sales using the currency exchange rates that were in effect during the prior comparative period. Net sales are attributed to the geographic regions based on the country of destination. We exclude net sales from acquired businesses in the current year for which there are no comparable sales in the prior period. The following is a reconciliation of reported net sales to organic net sales for the three and six month periods ended April 2, 2017 compared to net sales for the three and six month periods ended April 3, 2016, respectively:

Total	$	2,381.7	$	28.4		$	2,410.1	$	2,428.4		(18.3	)	(0.8	%)

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by management and we believe this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors because it reflects ongoing operating performance and trends of our segments, excluding certain non-cash based expenses and/or non-recurring items during each of the comparable periods and facilitates comparisons between peer companies since interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA is also used for determining the Company’s debt covenant. See Note 9, “Debt” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere within this Quarterly Report, for additional detail. EBITDA is calculated by excluding the Company’s income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation expense and amortization expense (from intangible assets) from net income. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes: (1) stock based compensation expense as it is a non-cash based compensation cost, see Note 13 “Share Based Compensation” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere within this Quarterly Report for further details; (2) acquisition and integration charges that consist of transaction costs from acquisition transactions during the period or subsequent integration related project costs directly associated with the acquired business, see Note 3 “Acquisition and Integration Charges” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere within this Quarterly Report for further details; (3) restructuring and related charges, which consist of project costs associated with restructuring initiatives across the segments, see

29

Note 4 “Restructuring and Related Charges” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere within this Quarterly Report for further details; (4) non-cash purchase accounting inventory adjustments recognized in earnings subsequent to an acquisition (when applicable); (5) non-cash asset impairments or write-offs realized (when applicable); (6) and other adjustments as further discussed. During the three and six month period ended April 2, 2017, other adjustments consist of professional fees associated with non-acquisition based strategic initiatives of the Company. During the three and six month period ended April 3, 2016, other adjustments consisted of costs associated with the exiting of a key executive, coupled with onboarding a key executive. The following is a reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA for the three and six month periods ended April 2, 2017 and April 3, 2016, respectively for SBH:

Net Sales for the periods ended April 2, 2017	$	1,169.9		$	2,381.7

Gross Profit. For the three month period ended April 2, 2017 gross profit decreased $7.6 million, attributable to a reduction in in net sales offset by gross margin improvement. Gross profit margin increased to 38.9% from 38.3% due to a shift to higher margin product sales, the exit of low-margin product sales and continuing cost improvement initiatives. For the six month period ended April 2, 2017, gross profit increased $1.7 million attributable to an increase in gross profit margin. Gross profit margin increased from to 38.0% from 37.2% primarily due to a shift to higher margin product sales, the exit of low-margin product sales and continuing cost improvement initiatives.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the three month period ended April 2, 2017 decreased $3.2 million primarily due to the decrease in acquisition & integration related charges of $8.2 million from lower integration activity, offset by increased restructuring and related charges of $2.7 million for restructuring initiatives previously discussed. Operating expenses for the six month period ended April 2, 2017 decreased $2.5 million primarily due to the decrease in acquisition and integration related charges of $14.0 million due to lower integration activity, partially offset by an increase in restructuring and related charges of $3.7 million for restructuring initiatives previously discussed and an increase in general and administrative expenses of $6.0 million. See Note 3, “Acquisitions and Integration Costs” and Note 4, “Restructuring and Related Charges” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere within this Quarterly Report, for additional detail.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three month period ended April 2, 2017 decreased $6.9 million, or 12.0%, directly due to the refinancing activity previously discussed. Interest expense for the six month period ended April 2, 2017 decreased $9.5 million, or 8.2%, due to the refinancing activity previously discussed.

Income Taxes. Our effective tax rate was 36.1% for the three month period ended April 2, 2017 compared to (2.8)% for the three month period ended April 3, 2016. Our effective tax rate was 34.1% for the six month period ended April 2, 2017 compared to 2.6% for the six month period ended April 3, 2016. Our estimated annual effective tax rate applied to these periods differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to income earned outside the U.S. that is subject to statutory rates lower than 35% net of U.S. and non-U.S. taxes provided on income earned outside the U.S. that is not permanently reinvested. For the three and six month periods ended April 3, 2016, the effective tax rate was reduced for the release of valuation allowance on U.S. net deferred tax assets. For the six month period ended April 3, 2016, the effective tax rate was also reduced by $5.9 million for non-recurring items related to the impact of tax law changes in state deferred tax rates on the Company’s net deferred tax liabilities.

Net cash used by financing activities of $90.7 million for the six month period ended April 2, 2017 consisted of (i) $216.1 million net proceeds from the Revolver Facility and other notes; (ii) $151.6 million payments on debt; (iii) payment of debt issuance costs of $2.7 million; and (iv) cash dividends to parent of $152.5 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $87.2 million for the six month period ended April 3, 2016 consisted of (i) $188.9 million net proceeds from the Revolver Facility; (ii) $48.1 million of payments on debt; (iii) payment of debt issuance costs of $1.6 million; and (iv) cash dividends to parent of $52.0 million.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures for the Company totaled $51.3 million and $38.7 million for the six month periods ended April 2, 2017, and April 3, 2016, respectively. The increase in capital expenditures is associated with incremental investment capacity expansion and cost reduction projects.

37

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the Company totaled $93.7 million and $91.4 million for the six months ended April 2, 2017, and April 3, 2016, respectively.

Indebtedness

Refer to Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, “Debt”, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional information. At April 2, 2017, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Senior Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the 6.625% Notes, the 6.125% Notes, the 5.75% Notes, and the 4.00% Notes.

Credit Ratings

The Company’s access to the capital markets and financing costs may depend on the credit ratings of the Company when it is accessing the capital markets. None of the Company’s current borrowings are subject to default or acceleration as a result of a downgrading of credit ratings, although a downgrade of the Company’s credit ratings could increase fees and interest charges on future borrowings.

Equity

During the six month period ended April 2, 2017, SBH granted 0.7 million restricted stock units to our employees and our directors. All vesting dates are subject to the recipient’s continued employment, except as otherwise permitted by our Compensation Committee or Board of Directors or in certain cases if the employee is terminated without cause or as otherwise provided in an applicable employment agreement. The total market value of the RSUs on the date of grant was $87.5 million, which represented unearned share based compensation. Such unearned compensation is recognized as expense over the appropriate vesting period. See Note 13, “Share Based Compensation” of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional information.

From time to time we may repurchase outstanding shares of SBH common stock in the open market or otherwise. On July 28, 2015, the Board of Directors approved a $300 million common stock repurchase program. The authorization was effective for 36 months. During the six month period ended April 2, 2017, SBH repurchased 0.8 million shares. On January 24, 2017, the Board of Directors approved a $500 million common stock repurchase program. The authorization is effective for 36 months and replaces the pre-existing $300 million common stock repurchase program that was scheduled to expire in July 2018. As of April 2, 2017 there has been no activity on the $500 million common stock repurchase program.

Liquidity Outlook

The Company’s ability to make principal and interest payment on borrowings under its U.S. and foreign credit facilities and its ability to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on its ability to generate cash in the future, which, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other conditions. Based on its current level of operations, the Company believes that its existing cash balances and expected cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet its operating requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, the Company may request borrowings under its credit facilities and seek alternative forms of financing or additional investments to achieve its longer-term strategic plans.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and fairly present our financial position and results of operations. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or critical accounting estimates as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. This ASU requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new revenue recognition model requires identifying the contract and performance obligations, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to performance obligations and recognizing the revenue upon satisfaction of performance obligations. This ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgements, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This ASU can be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the updates recognized at the date of the initial application along with additional disclosures. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Deferral of the Effective Date, which amends the previously issued ASU to provide for a one year deferral from the original effective date. As a result, the ASU will become effective for us beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, with early adoption available to us beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending September 30, 2018. We are assessing the impact this pronouncement will have on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and have not determined the materiality or method of adoption.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes the lease requirements in ASC 840, Leases. This ASU requires lessees to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, as well as disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Although the ASU requires both operating and finance leases to be disclosed on the balance sheet, a distinction between the two types still exists. The ASU can be applied using a modified retrospective approach, with optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply, relating to the identification and classification of leases that commenced before the effective date, along with the ability to use hindsight in the evaluation of lease decisions. The ASU will become effective for us beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending September 30, 2020, with early adoption available. We are assessing the impact this pronouncement will have on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and have not determined the materiality or method of adoption.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which requires an employer to disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net periodic pension costs within the statement of income. The amendment provides guidance requiring the service cost component to be recognized consistent with other compensation costs arising from service rendered by employees during the period, and all other components to be recognized separately outside of the subtotal of income from operations. The ASU is applied on a retrospective basis, and will become effective for us in the first quarter of the year ending September 30, 2019; with early adoption available to us in the first quarter of the year ending September 30, 2018. The net periodic benefit cost for the year ended September 30, 2016 was $4.5 million, of which the service cost component was $2.9 million and other components were $1.6 million. The net periodic benefit cost for the year ending September 30, 2017 will be $7.6 million, of which the service cost component is $3.9 million and other cost components are $3.8 million.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the test for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. If goodwill impairment is realized, the amount recognized will be the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however the loss recognized cannot exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The ASU must be applied on a prospective basis and will become effective for us beginning in the first quarter of the year ended September 30, 2021, with early adoption available. We chose to adopt the standard immediately with no impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in the Company’s market risk during the six month period ended April 2, 2017. For additional information, refer to Note 9 “Debt”, and Note 10 “Derivatives”, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in the Quarterly Report and to Part II, Item 7A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that occurred during the six month period ended April 2, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. The Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

SB/RH Holdings, LLC

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) pursuant to Rule 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. SB/RH Holdings’ management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the SB/RH Holdings’ disclosure controls and procedures or SB/RH Holdings’ internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within SB/RH Holdings have been detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Litigation

We are a defendant in various matters of litigation generally arising out of the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that any matters or proceedings presently pending will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Information about our risk factors is contained in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016. With the exception of the change in risk factors discussed below, we believe that at January 1, 2017, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those contained in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016.

HRG and its significant stockholders exercise significant influence over us and their interests in our business may be different from the interests of our stockholders.

HRG, as our majority stockholder, and its significant stockholders, have the ability to influence the outcome of any corporate action by us that requires stockholder approval, including, but not limited to, the election of directors, approval of merger transactions and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets. In addition, we are a party to a stockholder agreement with HRG and certain of its stockholders. This influence and actual control may have the effect of discouraging offers to acquire the Company because any such consummation would likely require the consent of HRG and perhaps certain of its stockholders. HRG may also delay or prevent a change in control of the Company.

In addition, because HRG owns more than 50% of the voting power of the Company, the Company is considered a controlled company under the NYSE listing standards. As such, the NYSE corporate governance rules requiring that a majority of the Company’s board of directors and the Company’s entire compensation committee or the nominating and corporate governance committee be independent do not apply. As a result, the ability of the Company’s independent directors to influence its business policies and affairs may be reduced.

We are one of several companies in which HRG owns a controlling interest. The interests of HRG and these other companies may, from time to time, diverge from the interests of other of the Company’s stockholders and from each other, particularly with regard to new investment opportunities. HRG is not restricted from investing in other businesses involving or related to the marketing or distribution of household products, pet and pest products and personal care products. HRG may also engage in other businesses that compete or may in the future compete with the Company.

As previously announced by HRG, on November 17, 2016, HRG disclosed that its Board of Directors had initiated a process to explore the strategic alternatives available to HRG with a view to maximizing shareholder value. HRG has further stated that as part of this process, HRG expects to discuss and may make proposals to one or more of the Company, its management, its board of directors, its stockholders and other persons, including discussions and proposals regarding a merger or a sale and/or a business combination of HRG and the Company. HRG has stated there is no definitive schedule for it to complete its review of strategic alternatives. There can be no assurance that any proposal will be made or that HRG’s process will result in a transaction, or if a transaction is undertaken, as to its terms or timing. Neither we nor HRG intend to provide any updates with respect to the foregoing unless determined otherwise in our or HRG’s sole discretion or as required by law.

If HRG were to sell substantial amounts of the Company’s common stock in the public market, or investors perceive that these sales could occur, the market price of the Company’s common stock could be adversely affected. The Company has entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with HRG, certain of HRG’s stockholders and certain other of our stockholders. If requested properly under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, these stockholders have the right to require the Company to register all or some of such shares for sale under the Securities Act in certain circumstances, and also have the right to include those shares in a registration initiated by the Company. If the Company is required to include the shares of its common stock held by these stockholders pursuant to these registration rights in a registration initiated by the Company, sales made by such stockholders may adversely affect the price of the Company’s common stock and ability to raise needed capital. In addition, if these stockholders exercise their demand registration rights and cause a large number of shares to be registered and sold in the public market or demand that the Company register its shares on a shelf registration statement, such sales or shelf registration may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Company’s common stock.

We face risks related to the impact on foreign trade agreements and relations from the current administration.

Recent changes in the United States federal government have caused uncertainty about the future of trade partnerships and treaties, such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”). The current administration has expressed its desire to modify NAFTA and has already taken action against the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement (“TPPA”), which have the ability to impact our business on a macro level in terms of demand for American built products, as well as affect the Company’s ability to leverage lower cost facilities in territories outside of the U.S. The current administration has also indicated that imports from China and Mexico, as well as other countries with which the U.S. runs a trade deficit, may be subject to an import tax. We source many products for certain segments of the Company from Mexico, China and other Asian countries. Media and political reactions in the affected countries could potentially impact the ability of the Company’s operations in those countries. Foreign countries may impose additional burdens on U.S. companies through the use of local regulations, tariffs or other requirements which could increase our operating costs in those foreign jurisdictions. It remains unclear what additional actions, if any, the current administration will take. If the United States were to materially modify NAFTA or other international trade agreements to which it is a party, or if tariffs were raised on the foreign-sourced goods that we sell, such goods may no longer be available at a commercially attractive price, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We face risks relating to the United Kingdom’s 2016 referendum, which called for its exit from the European Union.

The announcement of the referendum regarding the United Kingdom’s (“UK”) membership in the European Union (“EU”) on June 23, 2016 (referred to as “Brexit”), advising for the exit of the UK from the EU, and subsequent notification of intention to withdraw given on March 29, 2017, has adversely impacted global markets and foreign currencies. In particular, the value of the Pound Sterling has sharply declined as compared to the US Dollar and other currencies. This volatility in foreign currencies is expected to continue as the UK negotiates and executes its exit from the EU, but there is uncertainty over what time period this will occur. A significantly weaker Pound Sterling compared to the US Dollar could have a significant negative effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The decrease in value to the Pound Sterling and impacts across global markets and foreign currencies may influence trends in consumer confidence and discretionary spending habits, but given the lack of precedent and uncertainty, it is unclear how the implications will affect us.

The intention to withdraw begins a two-year negotiating period to establish the withdrawal terms. Even if no agreement is reached, the UK’s separation still becomes effective unless all EU members unanimously agree on an extension. Negotiations will commence to determine the future terms of the UK relationship with the EU, including, among other things, the terms of trade between the UK and the EU. The effects of Brexit will depend on many factors, including any agreements that the UK makes to retain access to EU markets either during a transitional period or more permanently. Brexit could lead to legal uncertainty and potentially divergent national laws and regulations as the UK determines which EU laws to replace or replicate. Any of these effects of Brexit and others we cannot anticipate, Transactions between the UK and the EU, as well as the UK and non-EU countries, such as the United States will be affected because the UK currently operated under the EU’s tax treaties. The UK will need to negotiate its own tax treaties with countries all over the world, which could take years to complete. While we cannot anticipate the outcome of these future negotiations, effects could include uncertainty regarding tax exemptions and reliefs within the EU, as well as expected changes in tax laws or regulations which could materially and adversely affect our business, business opportunities, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

On January 24, 2017, the Board of Directors approved a $500 million common stock repurchase program. The authorization is effective for 36 months and replaces the pre-existing $300 million common stock repurchase program that was scheduled to expire in July 2018. As of April 2, 2017 there has been no activity on the $500 million common stock repurchase program.
