ATLANTA, January 30, 2015 - Newell Rubbermaid (NYSE: NWL) today announced its fourth quarter 2014 financial results. “We are pleased to have finished the year with a strong set of fourth quarter results. Core sales grew 3.3 percent, or nearly 4 percent when adjusted for timing shifts related to SAP implementation and our third quarter distribution center transition,” said Michael Polk, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our Win Bigger businesses grew core sales 6.4 percent in response to strengthened innovation and increased marketing investment, while our Baby core sales returned to growth despite continued exits in Europe.

3 Glenlake Parkway | Atlanta, GA 30328 | Phone +1 (770) 418-7000 | www.newellrubbermaid.com | NYSE: NWL

We have simultaneously made very good progress on margins which, when coupled with our topline performance, resulted in fourth quarter earnings ahead of consensus and full year normalized EPS growth of nearly 10 percent.

“As we enter 2015, the sustained momentum in our Win Bigger businesses and the return to growth in Baby gives us confidence to raise our full year guidance on core sales growth to 3.5 percent to 4.5 percent. Our growth momentum is building driven by a terrific pipeline of new innovations, our plans to increase marketing investment again, and the sustained strong performance of our recent acquisitions. While deteriorating foreign exchange rates have caused us to moderate our normalized earnings per share guidance for 2015 to $2.10 to $2.18, at the mid-point of the range our revised outlook represents high single digit earnings growth and strong double-digit growth on a currency neutral basis.”

Fourth Quarter 2014 Operating Results

Net sales in the fourth quarter were $1.53 billion compared with $1.47 billion in the prior year. Core sales grew 3.3 percent, excluding 320 basis points of negative foreign currency impact and a 400 basis point contribution from acquisitions.

Reported gross margin was 37.6 percent, a 60 basis point improvement versus prior year.

Normalized gross margin was 37.7 percent, a 70 basis point improvement versus prior year, as benefits from productivity, pricing and favorable segment mix more than offset input cost inflation and the impact of negative foreign currency.

Fourth quarter reported operating margin was 7.4 percent compared with 10.7 percent in the prior year. Reported operating income was $113.5 million compared with $157.4 million in the prior year.

Normalized operating margin of 13.4 percent was a 120 basis point improvement compared with the prior year’s 12.2 percent, even with a 60 basis point increase in advertising and promotion support. Normalized operating income was $204.6 million compared with the prior year’s $179.4 million.

The reported tax rate for the quarter was 17.4 percent compared with 18.0 percent in the prior year. The normalized tax rate was 26.5 percent compared with 19.1 percent in the prior year.

Normalized net income was $135.3 million, compared with $132.5 million in the prior year. Normalized diluted earnings per share were $0.49, an increase of 6.5 percent versus $0.46 in the prior year. The improvement was attributable to increased core sales, gross margin expansion, contribution from acquisitions, and the positive impact of fewer outstanding shares, partially offset by a higher tax rate, negative foreign currency impacts and a significant increase in advertising and promotion support.

Reported diluted earnings per share were $0.19, compared with the prior year’s $0.41 per diluted share. Reported net income was $52.0 million, compared with $117.3 million in the prior year. The year over year decline in reported diluted earnings per share was attributable to a $65.4 million non-cash pension settlement charge associated with a voluntary offer to certain pension plan participants, a loss on extinguishment of debt, and a significant increase in advertising and promotion support, partially offset by increased core sales, gross margin expansion, lower restructuring costs, contribution from acquisitions and the positive impact of fewer outstanding shares.

Operating cash flow was $290.8 million compared with $304.2 million in the prior year period.

A reconciliation of the “as reported” results to “normalized” results is included in the appendix.

Fourth Quarter 2014 Operating Segment Results

Writing net sales for the fourth quarter were $418.2 million, flat compared to prior year. Core sales increased 5.7 percent driven by increased advertising and promotion support, strong innovation and positive pricing in Latin America. Approximately $15.0 million in core sales was shifted forward to the third quarter in anticipation of the company’s October SAP implementation in Mexico and Venezuela. Adjusting for the SAP-related timing shift, Writing core sales grew 9.3 percent. Normalized operating income was $103.2 million compared with $92.3 million in the prior year. Normalized operating margin was 24.7 percent compared with 22.1 percent in the prior year as a result of strong productivity, disciplined cost management and a shift in the timing of advertising and promotion spending.

Home Solutions net sales were $458.6 million, a 10.8 percent increase compared to the prior year. The Ignite Holdings, LLC and bubba brands, inc. acquisitions contributed net sales of $55.5 million. Core sales declined 1.8 percent, as pricing and innovationwere more thanoffset by planned declines on certain lower margin Rubbermaid product lines. Normalized operating income was $60.7 million versus $57.4 million in the prior year. Normalized operating margin decreased 70 basis points to 13.2 percent of sales as a result of inflation, the negative impact of foreign currency and increased advertising and promotion spending.

Tools net sales were $227.3 million, a 3.0 percent increase compared to the prior year. Core sales increased 7.5 percent driven by double-digit growth in Latin America related to strong innovation and new distribution and good growth in North America. North American core sales growth was partially due to a timing shift from the third quarter to the fourth quarter as a result of a third quarter distribution center transition. Adjusting for the distribution center transition timing shift, Tools core sales grew 4.9 percent. Normalized operating income was $21.5 million versus $19.0 million in the prior year. Normalized operating margin was 9.5 percent of sales compared with 8.6 percent of sales in the prior year. The improvement in operating margin was primarily driven by positive pricing in Latin America and disciplined overhead management, partially offset by an increase in advertising and promotion spending.

Commercial Products net sales were $213.0 million, a 5.0 percent increase compared to the prior year. Core sales increased 6.7 percent driven by innovation, pricing, and strong volume growth in North America, Brazil, and China. Normalized operating income was $24.2 million compared to $15.5 million in the prior year. Normalized operating margin was 11.4 percent of sales, compared with 7.6 percent of sales in the prior year. The increase in operating margin reflects the benefits of productivity, pricing and disciplined overhead management, partially offset by an increase in advertising spending.

Baby & Parenting net sales were $208.9 million, a 0.2 percent decline compared to the prior year. Core sales grew 0.7 percent driven by continuing sequential improvement of results in North America and volume growth in China, partially offset by planned product line exits in Europe and continued competition in Japan. The acquisition of Baby Jogger contributed net sales of $4.4 million. Normalized operating income was $17.3 million compared to $19.6 million in the prior year. Normalized operating income was 8.3 percent of sales compared with 9.4 percent of sales in the prior year. The decrease in normalized operating margin was due to increased advertising and promotion, unfavorable geographic mix and the impact of negative foreign currency.

Full Year Results

Net sales for the full year ended December 31, 2014 were $5.73 billion, an increase of 2.1 percent compared with $5.61 billion in the prior year. Core sales increased 3.0 percent for the full year, despite the 40 basis point negative impact of exiting approximately $25 million of EMEA business.

Gross margin was 38.5 percent. Normalized gross margin was 38.8 percent, an increase of 90 basis points versus prior year.

Normalized operating margin increased 40 basis points to 13.8 percent compared to 13.4 percent in the prior year, driven by pricing, productivity and favorable mix, partially offset by adverse foreign currency and a significant increase in advertising. Reported operating margin declined 40 basis points to 10.6 percent due to the non-cash pension settlement charge of $65.4 million.

Reported net income was $377.8 million as compared with $474.6 million in the prior year. Reported EPS was $1.35 per diluted share as compared with $1.63 per diluted share in the prior year.

Normalized earnings were $2.00 per diluted share compared with $1.82 per diluted share in the prior year, an increase of 9.9 percent.

Operating cash flow was $634.1 million during 2014 compared with $605.2 million in the prior year.

A reconciliation of the “as reported” results to “normalized” results is included in the appendix.

2015 Full Year Outlook

Newell Rubbermaid revised its 2015 full year core sales growth and normalized EPS guidance metrics to reflect an improved outlook for core sales growth and the negative impact of changes in foreign currency conditions. The revised guidance is as follows:

Core sales growth	3.5% to 4.5%
Currency impact	(4.0%) to (5.0%)
Impact of acquisitions	3.5% to 4.5%
Net sales growth	3.0% to 4.0%
Normalized EPS	$2.10 to $2.18

The company now expects foreign exchange to have a negative impact of about $0.31 to $0.33 per diluted share on normalized EPS in 2015.

The 2015 normalized EPS guidance range excludes between $80 and $120 million of Project Renewal restructuring and restructuring-related charges and other project costs. (A reconciliation of “expected reported” results to “normalized” results is included below.)

Cumulative costs of Project Renewal are expected to be $540 to $575 million pretax, with cash costs of $510 to $540 million. Project Renewal is expected to generate annualized cost savings of approximately $470 to $525 million by the end of 2017. The majority of these savings will be reinvested in incremental advertising and promotion in order to drive accelerated core sales growth and further geographic expansion in developing markets around the world. The company is currently on track to realize annualized cost savings from the first two phases of Project Renewal of approximately $270 to $325 million by the middle of 2015.

A reconciliation of the 2015 earnings outlook is as follows:

	FY 2015
Diluted earnings per share	$1.82 to $1.90
Restructuring, restructuring-related and other project costs	0.21 to 0.35
Normalized EPS	$2.10 to $2.18

Conference Call

The company’s fourth quarter 2014 earnings conference call will be held today, January 30, 2015, at 8:30 a.m. ET. A link to the webcast is provided under Events & Presentations in the Investor Relations section of Newell Rubbermaid’s Web site at www.newellrubbermaid.com. A webcast replay and a supporting slide presentation will be made available in the Investor Relations section on the company’s Web site under Quarterly Earnings.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and includes a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures that are included in this press release and the additional financial information both in explaining its results to stockholders and the investment community and in its internal evaluation and management of its businesses. The company’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures and the information they provide are useful to investors since these measures (a) permit investors to view the company’s performance using the same tools that management uses to evaluate the company’s past performance, reportable business segments and prospects for future performance and (b) determine certain elements of management’s incentive compensation.

The company’s management believes that core sales provides a more complete understanding of underlying sales trends by providing sales on a consistent basis as it excludes the impacts of acquisitions and changes in foreign currency from year-over-year comparisons. As reflected in the Currency Analysis, the effect of foreign currency on reported sales is determined by applying a fixed exchange rate, calculated as the 12-month average in the prior year, to the current and prior year local currency sales amounts, with the difference in these two amounts being the impact on core sales related to foreign currency, and the difference between the change in as reported sales and the change in core sales related to foreign currency reported as the currency impact.  The company’s management believes that providing adjusted core sales excluding the impacts of timing shifts related to implementations of SAP and other events is useful in that it helps investors better understand underlying business trends. The company’s management believes that “normalized” gross margin, “normalized” SG&A expense, “normalized” operating income, “normalized” earnings per share and “normalized” tax rates, which exclude restructuring and restructuring-related expenses and one-time and other events such as costs related to product recalls, the extinguishment of debt, certain tax benefits and charges, impairment charges, pension settlement charges, discontinued operations, costs related to the acquisition and integration of acquired businesses, advisory costs for process transformation and optimization initiatives, asset devaluations resulting from the adoption and continued use of the SICAD I Venezuelan Bolivar exchange rate and certain other items, are useful because they provide investors with a meaningful perspective on the current underlying performance of the company’s core ongoing operations. The company also uses core sales, normalized gross margin and normalized earnings per share as the three performance criteria in its management cash bonus plan.

The company determines the tax effect of the items excluded from normalized diluted earnings per share by applying the estimated effective rate for the applicable jurisdiction in which the pre-tax items were incurred, and for which realization of the resulting tax benefit, if any, is expected.

While the company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the company’s performance, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for or superior to the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similar measures presented by other companies.
