Newell Rubbermaid Reports Second Quarter 2010 Results

Normalized EPS of $0.51; Raising FY2010 Guidance

Gross Margin Expansion of 220 Basis Points

Strong Operating Cash Flow

ATLANTA, July 30, 2010 – Newell Rubbermaid (NYSE: NWL) today announced second quarter 2010 financial results, including normalized earnings per share of $0.51, an 8.5 percent improvement over prior year results, and gross margin expansion of 220 basis points. The company also reported operating cash flow of $154.0 million, a 55.2 percent improvement over the prior year quarter.

“I am very pleased with the performance of our business,” said Mark Ketchum, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We delivered strong second quarter results across almost all metrics, including core sales growth of almost 4 percent, if adjusted for the customer orders shift from the second quarter to the first quarter in advance of an April SAP implementation. This growth was the result of a combination of market share gains and distribution wins as well as strong consumer demand in Latin American and developing markets in EMEA. We also generated significant improvement in gross margin this quarter driven by productivity gains and improved product mix. The solid progress we’ve made year to date despite a lackluster economy gives us increased confidence that our business model is working.”

Net sales in the second quarter were $1.50 billion, down 0.5 percent compared with the prior year. Core sales improved 1.5 percent. Core sales growth was 3.8 percent if adjusted for a timing shift in customer buying patterns from the second quarter to the first quarter in advance of an April SAP implementation at the Rubbermaid Consumer and Rubbermaid Commercial Products business units. The year over year impact of last year’s product line exits reduced net sales by 1.9 percent, and foreign currency translation had a nominal impact on sales.

Gross margin for the quarter was 39.3 percent, up 220 basis points from last year as productivity gains and improved product mix more than offset the impact of input cost inflation.

Operating income was $226.3 million, or 15.1 percent of sales, excluding $22.8 million of Project Acceleration restructuring costs and restructuring related costs incurred in connection with the European Transformation Plan. In 2009, operating income was $229.0 million, or 15.2 percent of sales, excluding Project Acceleration restructuring costs of $29.5 million.

Normalized earnings were $0.51 per diluted share, compared to prior year results of $0.47 per diluted share, driven primarily by improved gross margin and a lower tax rate resulting from the resolution of a tax examination. For the second quarter 2010, normalized diluted earnings per share exclude $0.06 per diluted share for restructuring and restructuring related costs, net of tax, $0.05 per diluted share of dilution related to the conversion feature of the convertible notes issued

in March 2009 and the impact of associated hedge transactions, and a benefit of $0.01 per diluted share related to the impact of hyperinflationary accounting for the company’s Venezuelan operations. For the second quarter 2009, normalized earnings per share exclude $0.08 per diluted share for Project Acceleration restructuring costs, net of tax, $0.01 per diluted share of dilution related to the conversion feature of the convertible notes issued in March 2009 and the impact of associated hedge transactions, and one-time costs of $0.01 per diluted share incurred for the early retirement of $325 million principal amount of medium-term notes. (A reconciliation of the “as reported” results to “normalized” results is included below.)

Net income, as reported, was $130.4 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the second quarter. This compares to $105.7 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, in the prior year.

The company generated operating cash flow of $154.0 million during the second quarter, compared to $99.2 million in the comparable period last year. The improvement was driven by increased earnings and working capital improvement. Capital expenditures were $37.8 million in the second quarter, compared to $38.3 million in the prior year.

A reconciliation of the second quarter 2010 and last year’s results is as follows:

Other items, net of tax

   ($ 0.01   $ 0.01
              

“Normalized” EPS

Six Months Results

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased 3.5 percent to $2.80 billion, compared to $2.71 billion in the prior year. Core sales increased 4.1 percent for the six months. Foreign currency translation increased net sales by 1.0 percent, while the year over year impact of last year’s product line exits lowered net sales by 1.6 percent.

Gross margin was 37.8 percent, a 160 basis point improvement versus the prior year. Productivity gains and improved product mix more than offset the effect of input cost inflation.

Normalized earnings, which exclude the same items as those in the second quarter 2010, were $0.77 per diluted share, compared to $0.67 per diluted share in the prior year. (A reconciliation of the “as reported” results to “normalized” results is included below.)

Net income, as reported, was $188.8 million, or $0.61 per diluted share. This compares to $139.4 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, in the prior year.

The company generated operating cash flow of $183.4 million during the first six months of 2010, compared to $88.0 million in the prior year, driven by increased earnings and working capital improvement. Capital expenditures were $69.3 million, compared to $70.7 million in the prior year.

A reconciliation of the first six months 2010 and last year’s results is as follows:

2010 Full Year Outlook

The company continues to expect 2010 net sales growth in the low to mid single digit range. However, the company is raising its expectations for core sales growth to mid single digits, as compared with low to mid single digits in its previous guidance. The impact of 2009 product exits is expected to be a negative one to two percent, and the impact from foreign currency is expected to be modestly negative.

The company still expects gross margin to improve 75 to 100 basis points with the combination of productivity, mix and pricing more than offsetting the impact of expected input cost inflation.

The company is raising its guidance for expected 2010 normalized earnings from its previously communicated range of $1.38 to $1.48 per diluted share to its new expectation of $1.40 to $1.50 per diluted share.

Operating cash flow is expected to exceed $500 million for the full year, including approximately $70 to $100 million in restructuring cash payments. The company expects capital expenditures of approximately $160 to $170 million.

A reconciliation of the 2010 earnings outlook is as follows:

 

     FY 2010  

Diluted earnings per share

   $ 1.16 to $1.26   

Restructuring and restructuring related costs, net of tax

   $ 0.20 to $0.30   

Other items, net of tax

     ($0.01

Convertible notes dilution

     (A
        

“Normalized” EPS

   $ 1.40 to $1.50   

 

(A) No provision is made in the 2010 outlook for potential dilution from the conversion feature of the convertible notes issued in March 2009 and associated hedge transactions, as the amount of full year 2010 dilution is dependent on the average stock price in each quarter of 2010. The conversion feature of the convertible notes and associated hedge transactions resulted in dilution of $0.07 per diluted share in the first six months of 2010 and $0.06 per diluted share for the full year 2009.

Forward-Looking Statement
2
Statements in this presentation that are not historical in nature constitute forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements relate to information or assumptions about the effects of sales, income/(loss), earnings
per share, operating income or gross margin improvements or declines, Project Acceleration, the European
Transformation Plan, capital and other expenditures, cash flow, dividends, restructuring costs, costs and cost
savings, inflation or deflation, particularly with respect to commodities such as oil and resin, debt ratings, and
management's plans, projections and objectives for future operations and performance. These statements are
accompanied by words such as "anticipate," "expect," "project," "will," "believe," "estimate" and similar expressions.
Actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements
include, but are not limited to, our dependence on the strength of retail, commercial and industrial sectors of the
economy in light of the global economic slowdown; currency fluctuations; competition with other manufacturers and
distributors of consumer products; major retailers' strong bargaining power; changes in the prices of raw materials
and sourced products and our ability to obtain raw materials and sourced products in a timely manner from
suppliers; our ability to develop innovative new products and to develop, maintain and strengthen our end-user
brands; our ability to expeditiously close facilities and move operations while managing foreign regulations and
other impediments; our ability to implement successfully information technology solutions throughout our
organization; our ability to improve productivity and streamline operations; our ability to refinance short-term debt
on terms acceptable to us, particularly given uncertainties in the global credit markets; changes to our credit
ratings; significant increases in the funding obligations related to our pension plans due to declining asset values or
otherwise; the imposition of tax liabilities greater than our provisions for such matters; the risks inherent in our
foreign operations and those factors listed in the company’s latest quarterly report on Form 10-Q, and exhibit 99.1
thereto, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Changes in such assumptions or factors could
produce significantly different results. The information contained in this presentation is as of the date indicated. The
company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this presentation as a
result of new information or future events or developments.

Reconciliation: Full Year 2010 Outlook for “Normalized”

FY 2010

Restructuring and restructuring related
costs, net of tax [ 1 ]
$0.20 to $0.30
Other items, net of tax [ 2 ]

Convertible notes dilution [ 3 ]
TBD
"Normalized" EPS:
$1.40 to $1.50
[ 1 ]  Restructuring and restructuring related costs include impairment charges, employee
termination benefits and other costs associated with Project Acceleration as well as
costs associated with the European Transformation Plan, and the related tax effects.
[ 2 ]  Other items include a benefit related to the impact of hyperinflationary accounting
for the Company's Venezuelan operations. 
[ 3 ]  No provision is made in the 2010 outlook for potential dilution from the conversion
feature of the convertible notes issued in March 2009 and associated hedge
transactions, as the amount of full year 2010 dilution is dependent on the average
stock price in each quarter of 2010.  The conversion feature of the convertible notes
and associated hedge transactions resulted in dilution of $0.07 per diluted share in
the first six months of 2010 and $0.06 per diluted share for the full year 2009.
