ACCO BRANDS CORPORATION REPORTS

THIRD QUARTER 2008 RESULTS

· Reported earnings per share of $(0.60); adjusted earnings per share of $0.23

· Strong third-quarter net cash flow of $55 million; debt reduced by $65 million

· Intensifies cost-cutting actions to match industry downturn

· Confirms cash flow guidance

LINCOLNSHIRE, ILLINOIS, November 5, 2008 – ACCO Brands Corporation (NYSE: ABD), a world leader in select categories of branded office products, today reported its third quarter and nine month results for the period ending September 30, 2008.

“The global economic slowdown has affected sales across all of our businesses and geographies,” said Robert J. Keller, chairman and chief executive officer. “In response, we have intensified and accelerated the aggressive cost-cutting actions we announced in August. Further, we reduced our debt by $65 million in the third quarter.”

Third Quarter Results

Macroeconomic conditions and softness in office products categories resulted in a third- quarter net sales decrease of 12%, to $435.0 million from $494.7 million in the prior-year quarter. Adjusting for the exit of non-strategic business and currency, sales decreased 12%. The company reported a third quarter net loss of $32.7 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, compared to net income of $8.7 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. The third quarter results include restructuring and non-recurring costs totaling $5.2 million. In addition, as of the end of the third quarter the company recorded $30.8 million of additional non-cash goodwill and asset impairment charges at its commercial laminating business. Excluding charges, adjusted net income decreased 42% to $12.3 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to $21.1 million, or $0.38 per share, in the prior-year period.

Results of Business Segments

Office Products Group

Office Products net sales decreased 15% to $209.0 million from $244.8 million in the prior-year quarter. Adjusting for the exit of non-strategic business as well as for currency, Office Products comparable sales decreased 13%. The decline reflected further economic softening in the United States and the United Kingdom, softening demand in mainland Europe and Canada, related customer inventory reductions, and previously reported lost product placements and planned exits, partially offset by price increases.

Office Products reported operating income was $18.0 million, compared to $14.4 million in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted operating income declined to $19.9 million from $24.7 million a year ago, and adjusted operating income margin decreased to 9.5% from 10.1%. Lower sales volume and higher raw material, freight, and distribution costs drove the decline, partially offset by lower management incentive expense.

Document Finishing Group

Document Finishing net sales decreased 10% to $130.6 million, compared to $145.9 million in the prior-year quarter. Adjusting for favorable currency, Document Finishing comparable sales decreased 12%. The decline reflected continued soft demand in the United States and Europe, softening demand in Canada, and previously reported lost product placements, partially offset by price increases.

Document Finishing reported operating income increased to $5.7 million, compared to $4.9 million in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted operating income declined to $8.8 million from $11.1 million, and adjusted operating income margin decreased to 6.7% from 7.6%. The decrease resulted from lower sales volume, unfavorable product mix, and higher raw material, freight, and distribution costs, partially offset by lower management incentive expense.

Computer Products Group

Computer Products net sales decreased 7% to $56.0 million, compared to $60.3 million in the prior-year quarter. Adjusting for currency and the exit of non-strategic business, comparable sales declined 9%. The decline was due to lower sales volumes from weaker demand, particularly in the United States and United Kingdom, and related customer inventory reductions as well as declines in the iPod® accessory category.

Computer Products reported operating income was $11.0 million, compared to $14.0 million in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted operating income decreased 28% to $11.0 million from $15.3 million and adjusted operating income margin decreased to 19.6%, from a record level 25.4% in the prior-year quarter. The margin decline was driven by lower sales volume and increased marketing expenses to support the launch of new products.

Commercial Laminating Solutions Group

Commercial Laminating Solutions net sales decreased 10% to $39.4 million, compared to $43.7 million in the prior-year quarter. On a constant currency basis, sales decreased 13%, driven by lower film sales in Europe, and economic softness, which caused weak demand for print finishing equipment in the U.S. and Europe.

Commercial Laminating Solutions reported an operating loss of $31.1 million, driven by the $30.8 million asset impairment charge, compared to operating income of $0.3 million in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted operating income was a loss of $0.2 million compared to income of $0.7 million in the prior-year quarter. The decline was due to reduced sales and increased raw material costs.

Nine Months Results

For the year-to-date period, reported sales decreased 7% to $1.3 billion from $1.4 billion. Adjusting for the exit of non-strategic business and currency, sales decreased 10%. The company reported a net loss of $81.2 million, or $1.50 per diluted share, for the nine months ending September 30, 2008, compared to net income of $13.4 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. The nine month results include restructuring and non-recurring costs totaling $17.0 million. In addition, for the nine months, the company recorded $93.2 million of non-cash goodwill and asset impairment charges at its commercial laminating business. Excluding charges, adjusted net income decreased 37% to $24.6 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, compared to $39.3 million, or $0.71 per share, in the prior-year period.

Business Outlook

The company believes its markets will remain challenging for the foreseeable future, and has taken a number of tough actions as a consequence. Consumer weakness has spread to more of its international markets and it is experiencing additional near-term pressures from customer consolidation. In addition, because the company negotiates raw material contracts on a roll-forward basis the fourth quarter will reflect peak pricing.

“Importantly, we continue to expect strong net cash flow, $40 to $60 million for the year. This strong cash flow will help us achieve a targeted year-end gross debt balance of less than $700 million,” said Keller. “However, because of the difficulty in forecasting the current demand environment, the company will not provide specific sales or earnings guidance for the balance of 2008 or 2009.”

Webcast

At 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time today, ACCO Brands Corporation will host a conference call to discuss the company’s third quarter results. The call will be broadcast live via webcast. The webcast can be accessed through the Investor Relations section of www.accobrands.com. The webcast will be in listen-only mode and will be available for replay for one month following the event.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

“Adjusted” results exclude all restructuring and restructuring-related items, goodwill and asset impairment charges and unusual tax items. Adjusted results for 2007 also exclude the impact of adjustments to net sales related to a correction in accounting for certain prior-period customer program costs. Adjusted supplemental EBITDA excludes restructuring and restructuring-related items, goodwill and asset impairment charges, prior-period sales adjustments and other non-operating items, including minority interest expense, other income/expense and stock-based compensation expense. The company has changed its presentation of adjusted supplemental EBITDA to include the equity in earnings of joint ventures as this provides a better indication of cash generation. Adjusted results and supplemental EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. There could be limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as compared to the use of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Management uses the adjusted measures to determine the returns generated by its operating segments and to evaluate and identify cost-reduction initiatives. Management believes these measures provide investors with helpful supplemental information regarding the underlying

performance of the company from year to year. These measures may be inconsistent with measures presented by other companies.
