JARDEN REPORTS 2005 YEAR END AND FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

 

RYE, NY – February 14, 2006 – Jarden Corporation (NYSE:JAH) today reported its financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2005.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2005, net sales increased 280% to $3.2 billion compared to $839 million for the same period in the previous year. Net income for 2005 increased by 43.2% to $60.7 million from $42.4 million in 2004. Income available to common stockholders was $12.1 million or $0.22 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to income available to common stockholders of $42.4 million or $0.99 per diluted share in 2004. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted net income was $138.5 million or $2.14 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2005.

 

Fourth quarter net sales increased 312% to $975 million compared to $237 million for the same period last year. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2005 increased to $2.5 million from a net loss of $3.4 million for the same period last year. Income available to common stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2005 was $2.5 million or $0.04 per diluted share compared to a net loss of $(0.08) per diluted share in 2004. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted net income was $33.8 million or $0.50 per diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2005. Please see the schedule accompanying this release for the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per common share. Our results of operations include the US Playing Card, American Household and Holmes Group businesses from their dates of acquisition, which were June 2004, January 2005 and July 2005, respectively.

 

Martin E. Franklin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “2005 was a year of significant positive change for Jarden Corporation with the acquisitions of both American Household and Holmes. We added tremendous brands to our portfolio, including, Bionaire®, Coleman®, Crock-Pot®, First Alert®, Mr. Coffee®, Oster®, Rival® and Sunbeam® to name just a few. Additionally, we have expanded distribution channels domestically and internationally, added talented employees to our team and strengthened our foundation for profitable future growth.”

Mr. Franklin continued, “Overall the year end results were in line with the estimates we provided in January. With the results now finalized, I am pleased to report that our cash flow from operations was significantly stronger than our original estimates, with over $250 million generated during the fourth quarter. This strong cash flow will help fuel future growth opportunities in our business. Our plan for 2006 and beyond is unchanged, as we continue to focus on expanding margins, increasing the top-line through new product introductions and leveraging the ongoing integration of the businesses we acquired in 2005 into the overall Jarden structure. We believe we are on track to achieve our three to five year goals outlined at the beginning of 2005 and the businesses all have significant momentum coming into the new year. Our brands are the cornerstones of many of our retailers’ strategies for innovation in the categories we serve.”

 

Mr. Franklin concluded, “Recently, we have been subjected to a group of purported class action lawsuits. We believe these lawsuits are totally without merit and our intention is to vigorously contest these claims, while staying focused on our primary responsibility to our shareholders, employees and customers. To that end, we will continue to concentrate on delivering strong operating results, which we believe is the best way to create long-term shareholder value.”

 

The Company will be holding a conference call at 9:45 a.m. (EST) today, February 14, 2006, to further discuss its results and respond to questions. The call will be accessible via a webcast through the Company’s website at www.jarden.com and will be archived online until February 28, 2006.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, adjustments to net income consist of purchase accounting adjustments for $22.4 million of manufacturer’s profit in inventory, $2.5 million of write offs of inventory related to reorganization and acquisition-related integration initiatives, $62.4 million of compensation costs recorded related to the issuance of restricted shares of Company common stock to employees and the early adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) “Share Based Payment,” $29.1 million of reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs and $6.0 million of loss on early extinguishment of debt.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2005, adjustments to the diluted weighted average shares outstanding consist of the dilutive effect of the inclusion of Series B and Series C preferred stock common stock equivalents. Both the Series B and Series C preferred common stock equivalent adjustment amounts are calculated on an if-converted basis as of the beginning of the year ended December 31, 2005, to the extent such amounts are not already included in calculating the actual weighted average shares.

 

Note 2: There were no items excluded from the “as reported” results for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2004.

 

Note 3: Certain reclassifications have been made in the Company’s financial statements of the prior year to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on previously reported net income.

 

Note 4: This earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures. For purposes of Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a Company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of operations, balance sheets, or statement of cash flows of the Company; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

 

Net income and diluted earnings per share, excluding the items discussed in Note 1 above, are non-GAAP financial measures and have been presented herein because management of the Company uses these financial measures in monitoring and evaluating the Company’s ongoing financial results and trends. Management believes that these non-GAAP operating performance measures are useful for investors because they enhance investors’ ability to analyze trends in the Company’s business and compare the Company’s financial and operating performance to the performance of the Company’s peers. Additionally, the Company’s credit agreement has provided for manufacturer’s profit in inventory adjustments required for purchase accounting, reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs, non-cash compensation expenses and loss on early extinguishment of debt to be excluded in calculations used for determining whether the Company is in compliance with certain credit agreement covenants.
