Newell Rubbermaid Updates Segment Reporting

April 30 Earnings Conference Call Time Change to 10:00 ET

ATLANTA, April 16, 2009 – Newell Rubbermaid (NYSE: NWL) today released updated historical segment financial data to reflect the realignment and consolidation of its business segments, effective the first quarter of 2009. As previously announced, the company will report three operating segments going forward: Home & Family, Office Products, and Tools, Hardware & Commercial Products. This change was designed to streamline structural costs and better align businesses by target consumer and route to market.

The global business units (GBUs) that formerly comprised the Cleaning, Organization & Décor segment have been integrated into two of the three remaining segments. The Rubbermaid Commercial Products GBU is now part of the Tools, Hardware & Commercial Products segment. The Rubbermaid Food & Home Products and Décor GBUs are now included in the Home & Family segment. In addition, the Amerock brand, which was previously part of the Tools & Hardware segment, has been integrated into the Décor GBU.

The updated historical segment financial data is attached and can also be found in the Quarterly Earnings section of the company’s investor relations Web site at www.newellrubbermaid.com. While investors are being provided retrospectively with revised segment financial information reflecting the prospective changes in reportable business segments, the company has in no way revised or restated its historical financial statements for any period.

In addition, Newell Rubbermaid announced that its first quarter 2009 earnings conference call will be held at 10:00 a.m. ET on April 30 rather than the previously announced 9:00 a.m. ET. To listen to a live webcast of the call, please visit Events & Presentations in the Investor Relations section of Newell Rubbermaid’s Web site at www.newellrubbermaid.com. The webcast will be available for replay for two weeks.
