FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

JARDEN REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2008 RESULTS

RYE, N.Y., May 8, 2008 — Jarden Corporation (NYSE: JAH) today reported its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, net sales increased 48% to $1.2 billion compared to $0.8 billion for the same period in the previous year. For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, net income was $4.7 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2007. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted net income was $16.5 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, compared to $17.1 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The Pure Fishing, Inc. and K2 Inc. businesses have been included in the results of operations from their dates of acquisition in April 2007 and August 2007, respectively. Please see the schedule accompanying this release for the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share.

“While the first quarter is traditionally Jarden’s seasonally smallest quarter, our performance was in line with our expectations and a good start to achieving our full year outlook,” said Martin E. Franklin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Jarden Corporation. “Whereas the recessionary environment is having a negative impact on overall consumer confidence and retail sales, it was gratifying that our Outdoor Solutions segment posted overall organic sales growth of approximately 3.6% in the quarter, with four of its five divisions showing year-over-year organic growth. The top-line declines at Consumer Solutions and Branded Consumables were expected and, based on the programs in place for sell-in shipments during our busier quarters, we still anticipate that both these businesses will show organic growth in the second half and for the full year.”

Mr. Franklin continued, “The synergies from the K2 and Pure Fishing acquisitions are helping offset the cost inflation we are experiencing, particularly from commodities and the weak U.S. dollar. In addition, falling LIBOR rates during the quarter and better than budgeted cash flow helped reduce our interest expense. As we outlined at our Investor Day presentation in early March, we continue to believe that the tough macro environment provides the opportunity for Jarden to distinguish itself from a number of its competitors, with our market leading brands and focus on operating excellence, cost controls and new product development.”

The Company will be holding a conference call at 9:45 a.m. EDT today, May 8, 2008, 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 May 22, 2008.

Notes to Earnings Release

Note 1: Adjustments relate to items that are excluded from the “as reported” results to arrive at the “Adjusted” results for the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. For the quarter ended March 31, 2008 adjustments to net income consist of $10.7 million of reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs and $4.0 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets. Also, included in the adjustments to net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 is the tax provision adjustment of $2.9 million which reflects the normalization of the adjusted results to the Company’s 36% effective tax rate.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2007 adjustments to net income consist of $9.1 million of reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs, $1.7 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets and $14.8 million for the loss on the early extinguishment of debt. Also, included in the adjustments to net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 is the tax provision adjustment of $9.9 million which reflects the normalization of the adjusted results to the Company’s 36% effective tax rate.

Note 2: In prior years, the Company had adjusted for non-cash stock compensation costs to derive its adjusted net income. In 2008, the Company no longer adjusts for these costs and therefore, prior year amounts have been restated to conform with the current year presentation. The Company recorded non-cash stock compensation costs of $6.0 million and $6.8 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, respectively.

Note 3: 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 income, balance sheets, or statements 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. These non-GAAP measures are provided because management of the Company uses these financial measures in maintaining and evaluating the Company’s ongoing financial results and trends. Management uses this non-GAAP information as an indicator of business performance, and evaluates overall management with respect to such indicators. Additionally, the Company uses non-GAAP financial measures because the Company’s credit agreement provides for certain adjustments in calculations used for determining whether the Company is in compliance with certain credit agreement covenants, including, but not limited to, adjustments relating to non-cash purchase accounting adjustments, certain reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs, non-cash stock-based compensation costs and loss on early extinguishment of debt. These measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
