JARDEN CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in millions, except per share data and unless otherwise indicated)

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Jarden Corporation and its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as the “Company” or “Jarden”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, normal and recurring and necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

Supplemental Information

Stock-based compensation costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”), were $3.3 and $4.1 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $18.9 and $20.6 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Interest expense is net of interest income of $1.4 and $1.2 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $2.6 and $2.9, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Venezuela Operations

Effective January 1, 2010, the Company’s subsidiaries operating in Venezuela are considered under GAAP to be operating in a highly inflationary economy based on the use of the blended National Consumer Price Index (a blend of the National Consumer Price Index subsequent to January 1, 2008 and the Consumer Price Index for Caracas and Maracaibo prior to January 1, 2008), as the Venezuela economy exceeded the three year cumulative inflation rate of 100%. The Company’s financial statements of its subsidiaries operating in Venezuela are remeasured as if their functional currency were the U.S. dollar. As such, gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities are reflected in current earnings.

In January 2010, the Venezuelan government announced its intention to devalue its currency (Bolivar) relative to the U.S. dollar. The official exchange rate for imported goods classified as essential, such as food and medicine, changed from 2.15 to 2.60 Bolivars per U.S. dollar, while payments for other non-essential goods moved to an official exchange rate of 4.30 Bolivars per U.S. dollar. As such, beginning in 2010, the financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries operating in Venezuela are remeasured at and are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements at the official exchange rate of 4.30, which is the Company’s expected settlement rate.

As a result of the change in the official exchange rate to 4.30 Bolivars per U.S. dollar, the Company recorded a non-cash pre-tax loss of approximately $21.5 in the first quarter of 2010, primarily reflecting the write-down of monetary assets as of January 1, 2010. This charge is classified in SG&A.

In March 2010, the SEC provided guidance on certain exchange rate issues specific to Venezuela. This SEC guidance, in part, requires that any differences between the amounts reported for financial reporting purposes and actual U.S. dollar-denominated balances that may have existed prior to the application of the highly inflationary accounting requirements (effective January 1, 2010 for the Company) should be recognized in the income statement. As a result of applying this SEC guidance, the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 include a non-cash charge of $56.6 classified in SG&A related to remeasuring U.S. dollar-denominated assets at the parallel exchange rate and subsequently translating at the official exchange rate. This SEC guidance was codified by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) in May 2010, with the issuance of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-19.

Table of Contents

New Accounting Guidance

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 requires companies to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The provisions of ASU 2011-05 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Since ASU 2011-05 amends the disclosure requirements concerning comprehensive income, the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will not affect the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Adoption of New Accounting Guidance

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition” (“ASU 2009-13”). ASU 2009-13 requires companies to allocate revenue in multiple-element arrangements based on an element’s estimated selling price if vendor-specific or other third-party evidence of value is not available. ASU 2009-13 was effective for the Company beginning in 2011. The adoption of the provisions of ASU 2009-13 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASU 2010-06”). ASU 2010-06 requires companies to provide additional disclosures related to transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 and in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures related to the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements, which was effective for the Company beginning in 2011. Since ASU 2010-06 requires only additional disclosures, the adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not affect the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses” (“ASU 2010-20”). ASU 2010-20 requires companies to provide additional disclosures about the credit quality of their financing receivables and the credit reserves held against them. The additional disclosures include, in part, aging of past due receivables, credit quality indicators and the modification of financing receivables. ASU 2010-20 also requires companies to disaggregate new and existing disclosures based on how the allowance for credit losses is developed and credit exposures are managed. Short-term trade accounts receivable and receivables measured at fair value or lower of cost or fair value are exempt from the quantitative disclosure requirements of ASU 2010-20. Since ASU 2010-20, which was effective for the Company beginning in 2011, requires only additional disclosures concerning financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses, the adoption of the provisions of ASU 2010-20 did not affect the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

2. Acquisitions

On April 1, 2010, the Company acquired the Mapa Spontex Baby Care and Home Care businesses (“Mapa Spontex”) of Total S.A. (“Total”), through the acquisition of certain of Total’s subsidiaries for a Euro purchase price of approximately €200 (approximately $275), subject to certain adjustments (the “Acquisition”). The total value of the transaction, including debt assumed and or repaid, was approximately €305 (approximately $415). Mapa Spontex is a global manufacturer and distributor of primarily baby care and home care products with leading market positions in Argentina, Brazil and Europe in the core categories it serves. Its baby care portfolio includes feeding bottles, soothers, teats and other infant accessories sold primarily under the Fiona®, First Essentials®, Lillo®, NUK® and Tigex® brands; and health care products, including condoms sold under the Billy Boy® brand. Its home care portfolio includes sponges, rubber gloves and related cleaning products for industrial, professional and retail uses sold primarily under the Mapa® and Spontex® brands. Mapa Spontex is reported in the Company’s Branded Consumables segment and is included in the Company’s results of operations from April 1, 2010.

In addition, the Company completed three tuck-in acquisitions during 2010, including the acquisition of Aero Products International, Inc. (“Aero”) on October 1, 2010 and the acquisition of Quickie Manufacturing Corporation (“Quickie”) on December 17, 2010. Aero is a leading provider of premium, air-filled mattresses under brand names including Aero®, Aerobed® and Aero Sport®. The acquisition of Aero is expected to expand distribution channels, as well as expand the Company’s current Coleman product offerings of indoor and outdoor air beds and accessories. Aero is reported in the Company’s Outdoor Solutions segment and is included in the Company’s results of operations from October 1, 2010. Quickie is a leading supplier and distributor of innovative cleaning tools and supplies. Quickie designs, manufactures and distributes cleaning products including mops, brooms, dusters, dust pans, brushes, buckets and other supplies, for traditional in-home use, as well as commercial and contractor-grade applications, sold primarily under the leading brands Quickie Original®, Quickie Home-Pro®, Quickie Professional®, Quickie Microban® and Quickie Green Cleaning®. Quickie is reported in the Company’s Branded Consumables segment and is included in the Company’s results of operations from December 17, 2010. Additionally, during 2010, the Company completed another tuck-in acquisition. All three tuck-in acquisitions were complementary to the Company’s core businesses and from an accounting standpoint were not significant.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, cost of sales includes a $25.3 charge for the purchase accounting adjustment for the elimination of manufacturer’s profit in inventory related to acquisitions.

On March 31, 2011, the Company completed a new $1.275 billion senior secured credit facility (the “Facility”), which is comprised of:

 

   

a $525 senior secured term loan A facility maturing in March 2016, that bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread of 225 basis points;

 

   

a $500 senior secured term loan B facility maturing in January 2017, which is subject to extension to 2018 under certain conditions, that bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread of 300 basis points; and

 

   

a $250 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), which is comprised of a $175 U.S. dollar component and a $75 multi-currency component. The Revolver matures in March 2016 and bears interest at certain selected rates, including LIBOR plus a spread of 225 basis points. At June 30, 2011, there was no amount outstanding under the Revolver. The Company is required to pay commitment fees on the unused balance of the Revolver. At June 30, 2011, the annual commitment fee on unused balances was approximately 0.38%.

The Facility contains certain restrictions, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, on the conduct of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, including, among other restrictions: incurring debt; disposing of certain assets; making investments; exceeding certain agreed upon capital expenditures; creating or suffering liens; completing certain mergers, consolidations and sales of assets; acquisitions; declaring dividends; redeeming or prepaying other debt; and certain transactions with affiliates. The Facility also includes financial covenants that require the Company to maintain certain total leverage and interest coverage ratios.

The proceeds from the Facility and cash on hand were used to extinguish the entire principal amount outstanding of approximately $1.1 billion under the Company’s prior senior secured credit facility and the entire principal amount outstanding of approximately $22 under a U.S. dollar-based term loan of a Canadian subsidiary (the “Canadian Term Loan”). As a result of these debt extinguishments, the Company recorded a $12.8 loss on the extinguishment of debt, which is primarily comprised of a non-cash charge due to the write-off of deferred debt issuance costs relating to the prior senior secured credit facility.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, $300 principal amount related to the securitization facility was reclassified from short-term debt to long-term debt based upon management’s intent to repay the securitization facility in accordance with its contractual maturity.

In May 2011, the Company entered into an amendment to its securitization facility that extended the term from July 2013 until May 2014 and reduced the borrowing rate margin and the unused line fee to 1.25% and 0.625% per annum, respectively.

8. Derivative and Other Hedging Financial Instruments

Interest Rate Contracts

The Company manages its fixed and floating rate debt mix using interest rate swaps. The Company uses fixed and floating rate swaps to alter its exposure to the impact of changing interest rates on its consolidated results of operations and future cash outflows for interest. Floating rate swaps are used, depending on market conditions, to convert the fixed rates of long-term debt into short-term variable rates. Fixed rate swaps are used to reduce the Company’s risk of the possibility of increased interest costs. Interest rate swap contracts are therefore used by the Company to separate interest rate risk management from the debt funding decision.

Fair Values Hedges

At June 30, 2011, the Company had $250 notional amount outstanding in swap agreements that exchange a fixed rate of interest for variable rate of interest (LIBOR) plus an average spread of approximately 495 basis points. These floating rate swaps are designated as fair value hedges against $250 of principal on the 7 1/2% senior subordinated notes due 2017 for the remaining life of these notes. The effective portion of the fair value gains or losses on these swaps is offset by fair value adjustments in the underlying debt.

During June 2011, the Company terminated $100 notional amount outstanding in swap agreements that exchange a fixed rate of interest for a variable rate (LIBOR) of interest and received $2.3 in net proceeds. These floating rate swaps, which were to mature in 2017, were designated as fair value hedges against $100 of principal on the 7 1/2% senior subordinated notes due 2017. The gain on the termination of these swaps is deferred and is being amortized over the remaining contractual term of the terminated swaps.

Cash Flow Hedges

At June 30, 2011, the Company had $650 notional amount outstanding in swap agreements (which includes a $200 notional amount forward-starting swap that becomes effective commencing December 30, 2011) that exchange variable interest rates (LIBOR) for fixed interest rates over the terms of the agreements and are designated as cash flow hedges of the interest rate risk attributable to forecasted variable interest payments and have maturity dates through December 2013. At June 30, 2011, the weighted average fixed rate of interest on these swaps, excluding the forward-starting swap, was approximately 1.7%. The effective portion of the after tax fair value gains or losses on these swaps is included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”).

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

The Company uses forward foreign currency contracts (“foreign currency contracts”) to mitigate the foreign currency exchange rate exposure on the cash flows related to forecasted inventory purchases and sales, that have maturity dates through February 2013. The derivatives used to hedge these forecasted transactions that meet the criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of the gains or losses on these derivatives is deferred as a component of AOCI and is recognized in earnings at the same time that the hedged item affects earnings and is included in the same caption in the statements of operations as the underlying hedged item. At June 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $653 notional amount of foreign currency contracts outstanding that are designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted inventory purchases and sales.

At June 30, 2011, the Company had outstanding approximately $210 notional amount of foreign currency contracts that are not designated as effective hedges for accounting purposes and have maturity dates through December 2012. Fair market value gains or losses are included in the results of operations and are classified in SG&A.

Commodity Contracts

The Company enters into commodity-based derivatives in order to mitigate the risk that the rising price of these commodities could have on the cost of certain of the Company’s raw materials. These commodity-based derivatives provide the Company with cost certainty, and in certain instances allow the Company to benefit should the cost of the commodity fall below certain dollar thresholds. At June 30, 2011, the Company had outstanding approximately $12 notional amount of commodity-based derivatives that are not designated as effective hedges for accounting purposes and have maturity dates through December 2011. Fair market value gains or losses are included in the results of operations and are classified in SG&A.

Net Investment Hedge

The Company has designated its Euro-denominated 7 1/2% senior subordinated notes due 2020, with an aggregate principal balance of €150 (the “Hedging Instrument”), as a net investment hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in certain Euro-denominated subsidiaries. Foreign currency gains and losses on the Hedging Instrument are included as a component of AOCI. At June 30, 2011, $23.0 of deferred losses have been recorded in AOCI.

9. Fair Value Measurements

GAAP defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value and requires that the assets or liabilities carried at fair value be disclosed by the input level under which they were valued. The input levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1:

   Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2:

   Observable inputs other than defined in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3:

   Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by observable market data.

The following table summarizes assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

Derivative assets and liabilities relate to interest rate swaps, foreign currency contracts and commodity contracts (see Note 8). Fair values are determined by the Company using market prices obtained from independent brokers or determined using valuation models that use as their basis readily observable market data that is actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including independent pricing services, brokers and market transactions. Available-for-sale securities are valued based on quoted market prices in actively traded markets.

10. Contingencies

The Company is involved in various legal disputes and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company or certain of its subsidiaries have been identified by the United States Environmental Protection

 

14


Table of Contents

Agency (“EPA”) or a state environmental agency as a Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”) pursuant to the federal Superfund Act and/or state Superfund laws comparable to the federal law at various sites. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that the disposition of any of the legal or environmental disputes the Company or its subsidiaries are currently involved in will have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. It is possible that, as additional information becomes available, the impact on the Company of an adverse determination could have a different effect.

Environmental

The Company’s operations are subject to certain federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations in addition to laws and regulations regarding labeling and packaging of products and the sales of products containing certain environmentally sensitive materials.

In addition to ongoing environmental compliance at its operations, the Company also is actively engaged in environmental remediation activities, the majority of which relates to divested operations and sites. Various of the Company’s subsidiaries have been identified by the EPA or a state environmental agency as a PRP pursuant to the federal Superfund Act and/or state Superfund laws comparable to the federal law at various sites (collectively, the “Environmental Sites”). The Company has established reserves to cover the anticipated probable costs of investigation and remediation, based upon periodic reviews of all sites for which they have, or may have, remediation responsibility. The Company accrues environmental investigation and remediation costs when it is probable that a liability has been incurred, the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated and their responsibility for the liability is established. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of a formal commitment to an investigation plan, completion of a feasibility study or a commitment to a formal plan of action. The Company accrues its best estimate of investigation and remediation costs based upon facts known at such dates, and because of the inherent difficulties in estimating the ultimate amount of environmental costs, which are further described below, these estimates may materially change in the future as a result of the uncertainties described below. Estimated costs, which are based upon experience with similar sites and technical evaluations, are judgmental in nature and are recorded at discounted amounts without considering the impact of inflation and are adjusted periodically to reflect changes in applicable laws or regulations, changes in available technologies and receipt by the Company of new information. It is difficult to estimate the ultimate level of future environmental expenditures due to a number of uncertainties surrounding environmental liabilities. These uncertainties include the applicability of laws and regulations, changes in environmental remediation requirements, the enactment of additional regulations, uncertainties surrounding remediation procedures including the development of new technology, the identification of new sites for which various of the Company’s subsidiaries could be a PRP, information relating to the exact nature and extent of the contamination at each Environmental Site and the extent of required cleanup efforts, the uncertainties with respect to the ultimate outcome of issues which may be actively contested and the varying costs of alternative remediation strategies.

Due to the uncertainty described above, the Company’s ultimate future liability with respect to sites at which remediation has not been completed may vary from the amounts reserved as of June 30, 2011.

The Company believes that the costs of completing environmental remediation of all sites for which the Company has a remediation responsibility have been adequately reserved and that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Litigation

The Company and/or its subsidiaries are involved in various lawsuits arising from time to time that the Company considers ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business. Amounts accrued for litigation matters represent the anticipated costs (damages and/or settlement amounts) in connection with pending litigation and claims and related anticipated legal fees for defending such actions. The costs are accrued when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The accruals are based upon the Company’s assessment, after consultation with counsel (if deemed appropriate), of probable loss based on the facts and circumstances of each case, the legal issues involved, the nature of the claim made, the nature of the damages sought and any relevant information about the plaintiffs and other significant factors that vary by case. When it is not possible to estimate a specific expected cost to be incurred, the Company evaluates the range of probable loss and records the minimum end of the range. The Company believes that anticipated probable costs of litigation matters have been adequately reserved to the extent determinable. Based on current information, the Company believes that the ultimate conclusion of the various pending litigation of the Company, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

As a consumer goods manufacturer and distributor, the Company and/or its subsidiaries face the risk of product liability and related lawsuits involving claims for substantial money damages, product recall actions and higher than anticipated rates of warranty returns or other returns of goods.

Table of Contents

The Company and/or its subsidiaries are therefore party to various personal injury and property damage lawsuits relating to their products and incidental to their business. Annually, the Company sets its product liability insurance program which is an occurrence-based program based on the Company and its subsidiaries’ current and historical claims experience and the availability and cost of insurance. The Company’s product liability insurance program generally includes a self-insurance retention per occurrence.

Cumulative amounts estimated to be payable by the Company with respect to pending and potential claims for all years in which the Company is liable under its self-insurance retention have been accrued as liabilities. Such accrued liabilities are based on estimates (which include actuarial determinations made by an independent actuarial consultant as to liability exposure, taking into account prior experience, number of claims and other relevant factors); thus, the Company’s ultimate liability may exceed or be less than the amounts accrued. The methods of making such estimates and establishing the resulting liability are reviewed on a regular basis and any adjustments resulting therefrom are reflected in current operating results.

Based on current information, the Company believes that the ultimate conclusion of the various pending product liability claims and lawsuits of the Company, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

11. Stockholders’ Equity

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company repurchased approximately 0.3 million and 1.0 million shares, respectively, of its common stock under its stock repurchase program at a per share average price of $31.68 and $32.97, respectively. At June 30, 2011, approximately $23 remains available under this stock repurchase program.

At the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders on June 13, 2011, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to increase the number of shares of authorized common stock from 150 million to 300 million shares.

12. Earnings Per Share

The computations of the weighted average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

 

     Three months ended

     Six months ended

(1) The six months ended June 30, 2010 excludes 0.9 million potentially dilutive share-based awards as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Stock options and warrants to purchase 2.2 million and 2.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, had exercise prices that exceeded the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As such, these share-based awards did not affect the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Information

From time to time, the Company may make or publish forward-looking statements relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects, technological developments, new products and similar matters. Such statements are necessarily estimates reflecting management’s best judgment based on current information. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. Such statements are usually identified by the use of words or phrases such as “believes”, “anticipates”, “expects”, “estimates”, “planned”, “outlook” and “goal”. Because forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, the Company’s actual results could differ materially. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors could cause the Company’s actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in forward-looking statements. All statements addressing trends, events, developments, operating performance, potential acquisitions or liquidity that the Company anticipates or expects will occur in the future are forward-looking statements.

Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated or projected. Investors should bear this in mind as they consider forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in the Company’s Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Please see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for a list of factors which could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those projected in the Company’s forward-looking statements and certain risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance and results of the Company’s businesses. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.

The following “Overview” section is a brief summary of the significant items addressed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”). Investors should read the relevant sections of this MD&A for a complete discussion of the items summarized below.

Overview

The Company is a leading provider of a broad range of consumer products. The Company reports four business segments: Outdoor Solutions, Consumer Solutions, Branded Consumables and Process Solutions. The Company’s sales are principally within the United States. The Company’s international operations are mainly based in Asia, Canada, Europe and Latin America.

The Company distributes its products in over 100 countries, primarily through club stores; craft stores; direct-to-consumer channels, primarily infomercials; department stores; drugstores; grocery retailers; home improvement stores; mass merchandisers; on-line; specialty retailers and wholesalers. The markets in which the Company’s businesses operate are generally highly competitive, based primarily on product quality, product innovation, price and customer service and support, although the degree and nature of such competition vary by location and product line. Since the Company operates primarily in the consumer products markets, it is generally affected by among other factors, overall economic conditions and the related impact on consumer confidence.

The Outdoor Solutions segment manufactures or sources, markets and distributes global consumer active lifestyle products for outdoor and outdoor-related activities. For general outdoor activities, Coleman® is a leading brand for active lifestyle products, offering an array of products that include camping and outdoor equipment such as air beds, camping stoves, coolers, foldable furniture, gas grills, lanterns and flashlights, propane fuel, sleeping bags, tents and water recreation products such as inflatable boats, kayaks and tow-behinds. The Outdoor Solutions segment is also a leading provider of fishing equipment under brand names such as Abu Garcia®, All Star®, Berkley®, Fenwick®, Gulp!®, JRC™, Mitchell®, Penn®, Pflueger®, Sebile®, Sevenstrand®, Shakespeare®, Spiderwire®, Stren®, Trilene®, Ugly Stik® and Xtools®. Team sports equipment for baseball, softball, football, basketball, field hockey and lacrosse products are sold under brand names such as deBeer®, Gait®, Miken®, Rawlings® and Worth®. Alpine and nordic skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing and in-line skating products are sold under brand names such as Atlas® Full Tilt®, K2®, Line®, Little Bear®, Madshus®, Marker®, Morrow®, Ride®, Tubbs®, Völkl® and 5150 Snowboards®. Water sports equipment, personal flotation devices and all-terrain vehicle gear are sold under brand names such as Helium®, Hodgman®, Mad Dog Gear®, Sevylor®, Sospenders® and Stearns®. The Company also sells high performance technical and outdoor apparel and equipment under brand names such as CAPP3L®, Ex Officio®, K2®, Marker®, Marmot®, Planet Earth®, Ride®, Völkl® and Zoot®, and premium air beds under brand names including Aero®, Aerobed® and Aero Sport®.

The Consumer Solutions segment manufactures or sources, markets and distributes a diverse line of household products, including

kitchen appliances and personal care and wellness products for home use. This segment maintains a strong portfolio of globally recognized brands including Bionaire®, Crock-Pot®, FoodSaver®, Health o meter®, Holmes®, Mr. Coffee®, Oster®, Patton®, Rival®, Seal-a-Meal®, Sunbeam® and Villaware®. The principal products in this segment include clippers and trimmers for professional use in the beauty and barber and animal categories; electric blankets, mattress pads and throws; household kitchen appliances, such as blenders, coffeemakers, irons, mixers, slow cookers, toasters, toaster ovens and vacuum packaging machines; personal care and wellness products, such as air purifiers, fans, heaters and humidifiers, for home use; products for the hospitality industry; and scales for consumer use.

The Branded Consumables segment manufactures or sources, markets and distributes a broad line of branded consumer products, many of which are affordable, consumable and fundamental household staples, including arts and crafts paint brushes, brooms, brushes, buckets, children’s card games, clothespins, collectible tins, condoms, cord, rope and twine, dusters, dust pans, feeding bottles, fencing, fire extinguishing products, firelogs and firestarters, home canning jars and accessories, kitchen matches, mops, other craft items, pacifiers, plastic cutlery, playing cards and accessories, rubber gloves and related cleaning products, safes, security cameras, security doors, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, soothers, sponges, storage organizers and workshop accessories, teats, toothpicks, window guards and other accessories. This segment markets products under the Aviator®, Ball®, Bee®, Bernardin®, Bicycle®, Billy Boy®, BRK®, Crawford®, Diamond®, Dicon®, Fiona®, First Alert®, First Essentials®, Forster®, Hoyle®, Java-Log®, KEM®, Kerr®, Lehigh®, Leslie-Locke®, Lillo®, Loew-Cornell®, Mapa®, NUK®, Pine Mountain®, Quickie Green Cleaning®, Quickie Home-Pro®, Quickie Microban®, Quickie Original®, Quickie Professional®, Spontex®, Tigex® and Wellington® brand names, among others.

The Process Solutions segment manufactures, markets and distributes a wide variety of plastic products including closures, contact lens packaging, medical disposables, plastic cutlery and rigid packaging. Many of these products are consumable in nature or represent components of consumer products. This segment’s materials business produces specialty nylon polymers, conductive fibers and monofilament used in various products, including woven mats used by paper producers and weed trimmer cutting line, as well as fiberglass radio antennas for marine, citizen band and military applications. This segment is also the largest North American producer of niche products fabricated from solid zinc strip and is the sole source supplier of copper plated zinc penny blanks to the United States Mint and a major supplier to the Royal Canadian Mint, as well as a supplier of brass, bronze and nickel plated finishes on steel and zinc for coinage to other international markets. In addition, the Company manufactures a line of industrial zinc products marketed globally for use in the architectural, automotive, construction, electrical component and plumbing markets.

Summary of Significant 2011 Activities

On March 31, 2011, the Company completed a new $1.275 billion senior secured credit facility (the “Facility”). The proceeds from the Facility and cash on hand were used to extinguish approximately $1.1 billion of debt outstanding, which was primarily comprised of the principal amount outstanding under the Company’s prior senior secured credit facility. The weighted average interest rate spread on the Facility decreased by over 60 basis points from the prior senior secured credit facility.

Acquisitions

Consistent with the Company’s historical acquisition strategy, to the extent the Company pursues future acquisitions, the Company intends to focus on businesses with product offerings that provide geographic or product diversification, or expansion into related categories that can be marketed through the Company’s existing distribution channels or provide us with new distribution channels for its existing products, thereby increasing marketing and distribution efficiencies. Furthermore, the Company expects that acquisition candidates would demonstrate a combination of attractive margins, strong cash flow characteristics, category leading positions and products that generate recurring revenue. The Company anticipates that the fragmented nature of the consumer products market will continue to provide opportunities for growth through strategic acquisitions of complementary businesses. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will complete an acquisition in any given year or that any such acquisition will be significant or successful. The Company will only pursue a candidate when it is deemed to be fiscally prudent and that meets the Company’s acquisition criteria. The Company anticipates that any future acquisitions would be financed through any combination of cash on hand, operating cash flow, availability under its existing credit facilities and new capital market offerings.

2011 Activity

During 2011, the Company did not complete any significant acquisitions.

2010 Activity

On April 1, 2010, the Company acquired the Mapa Spontex Baby Care and Home Care businesses (“Mapa Spontex”) of Total S.A. (“Total”), through the acquisition of certain of Total’s subsidiaries for a Euro purchase price of approximately €200 million (approximately $275 million), subject to certain adjustments (the “Acquisition”). The total value of the transaction, including debt assumed and or repaid, was approximately €305 million (approximately $415 million). Mapa Spontex is a global manufacturer and

distributor of primarily baby care and home care products with leading market positions in Argentina, Brazil and Europe in the core categories it serves. Its baby care portfolio includes feeding bottles, soothers, teats and other infant accessories sold primarily under the Fiona®, First Essentials®, Lillo®, NUK® and Tigex® brands; and health care products, including condoms sold under the Billy Boy® brand. Its home care portfolio includes sponges, rubber gloves and related cleaning products for industrial, professional and retail uses sold primarily under the Mapa® and Spontex® brands. Mapa Spontex is reported in the Company’s Branded Consumables segment and is included in the Company’s results of operations from April 1, 2010 (the “Acquisition Date”).

In addition, the Company completed three tuck-in acquisitions during 2010, including the acquisition of Aero Products International, Inc. (“Aero”) on October 1, 2010 and the acquisition of Quickie Manufacturing Corporation (“Quickie”) on December 17, 2010. Aero is a leading provider of premium, air-filled mattresses under brand names including Aero®, Aerobed® and Aero Sport®. The acquisition of Aero is expected to expand distribution channels, as well as expand the Company’s current Coleman product offerings of indoor and outdoor air beds and accessories. Aero is reported in the Company’s Outdoor Solutions segment and is included in the Company’s results of operations from October 1, 2010. Quickie is a leading supplier and distributor of innovative cleaning tools and supplies. Quickie designs, manufactures and distributes cleaning products including mops, brooms, dusters, dust pans, brushes, buckets and other supplies for traditional in-home use, as well as commercial and contractor-grade applications, sold primarily under the leading brands Quickie Original®, Quickie Home-Pro®, Quickie Professional®, Quickie Microban® and Quickie Green Cleaning®. Quickie is reported in the Company’s Branded Consumables segment and is included in the Company’s results of operations from December 17, 2010.

Additionally, during 2010, the Company completed another tuck-in acquisition. All three tuck-in acquisitions were complementary to the Company’s core businesses and from an accounting standpoint were not significant.

As discussed hereinafter, the Company’s results of operation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 have been affected in varying degrees by the inclusion of Mapa Spontex, Aero and Quickie from their respective acquisition dates of April 1, 2010, October 1, 2010 and December 17, 2010, respectively. Furthermore, during the second quarter of 2011, the integration of Aero into the operating results of the Company’s existing Coleman business was to a large extent completed.

Venezuela Operations

In January 2010, the Venezuelan government announced its intention to devalue its currency (Bolivar) relative to the U.S. dollar. The official exchange rate for imported goods classified as essential, such as food and medicine, changed from 2.15 to 2.60 Bolivars per U.S. dollar, while payments for other non-essential goods moved to an official exchange rate of 4.30 Bolivars per U.S. dollar. As such, beginning in 2010, the financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries operating in Venezuela are remeasured at and are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements at the official exchange rate of 4.30, which is the Company’s expected settlement rate.

As a result of the change in the official exchange rate to 4.30 Bolivars per U.S. dollar, the Company recorded a non-cash pre-tax loss of approximately $21.5 million in the first quarter of 2010, primarily reflecting the write-down of monetary assets as of January 1, 2010. This charge is classified in selling, general and administrative costs (“SG&A”).

In March 2010, the SEC provided guidance on certain exchange rate issues specific to Venezuela. This SEC guidance, in part, requires that any differences between the amounts reported for financial reporting purposes and actual U.S. dollar-denominated balances that may have existed prior to the application of the highly inflationary accounting requirements (effective January 1, 2010 for the Company) should be recognized in the statement of operations. As a result of applying this SEC guidance, the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 include a non-cash charge of $56.6 million related to remeasuring U.S. dollar-denominated assets at the parallel exchange rate and subsequently translating at the official exchange rate. This charge is classified in SG&A.

The transfers of funds out of Venezuela are subject to restrictions, and historically payments for certain imported goods and services have been required to be transacted by exchanging Bolivars for U.S. dollars through securities transactions in the more unfavorable parallel market rather than at the more favorable official exchange rate. During the third quarter of 2010, the parallel market was discontinued and replaced with the newly created and government regulated System of Transactions in Foreign Currency Denominated Securities (“SITME”) market. Historically, the majority of the Company’s purchases have qualified for the official exchange rate. As such, the Company has been able to convert Bolivars at the official exchange rate and, based upon this ability, the Company does not expect further changes in the SITME market to have a material impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. While the timing of government approval for settlement of payables at the official rate varies, the Company believes these payables will ultimately be approved and settled at the official exchange rate based on past experience. However, if in the future, further restrictions require the Company’s subsidiaries operating in Venezuela to convert an increasing amount of the Bolivar cash balances into U.S. dollars using the more unfavorable exchange rate, it could result in currency exchange losses that may be material to the Company’s results of operations. At June 30, 2011, the Company’s subsidiaries operating in Venezuela have approximately $16 million in cash denominated in U.S. dollars and cash of approximately $47 million held in Bolivars converted at the official exchange rate of 4.30 Bolivars per U.S. dollar.

Effective January 1, 2010, the Company’s subsidiaries operating in Venezuela are considered under GAAP to be operating in a highly inflationary economy based on the use of the blended National Consumer Price Index (a blend of the National Consumer Price Index subsequent to January 1, 2008 and the Consumer Price Index for Caracas and Maracaibo prior to January 1, 2008), as the Venezuela economy exceeded the three year cumulative inflation rate of 100%. The Company’s financial statements of its subsidiaries operating in Venezuela are remeasured as if their functional currency were the U.S. dollar. As such, gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities are reflected in current earnings.

While the likelihood or amount of a future devaluation in Venezuela is unknown, for illustrative purposes if the Company translated the results of operations for its subsidiaries operating in Venezuela for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 assuming an additional 50% devaluation versus using the actual official exchange rate of 4.30 in effect during that period, the Company’s consolidated net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 would have been reduced by less than 1%.

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased $126 million, or 8.2%, to $1.7 billion versus the same prior year period. The overall increase in net sales was primarily due to the impact of acquisitions (approximately $68 million), increased point of sale in certain product categories, expanded product offerings and favorable foreign currency translation of approximately $54 million, partially offset by weakness in certain product categories primarily related to unfavorable weather conditions. Net sales in the Outdoor Solutions segment increased $77 million, or 11.1%, primarily as the result of increased sales in the Coleman business due to expanded air bed product offerings, increased point of sale and earthquake-related sales; increased sales in the apparel and team sports businesses, which is primarily due to increased point of sale; and favorable foreign currency translation of approximately $29 million, partially offset by weakness in the fishing business, which was negatively affected by unfavorable weather conditions and the natural disasters in Japan. Net sales in the Consumer Solutions segment increased $8.1 million, or 2.1%, primarily as the result of increased demand internationally, primarily in Latin America, which is primarily due to gains in distribution. Net sales in the Branded Consumables segment increased $49.2 million, or 12.8%, which is mainly due to the contribution from acquisitions (approximately $39 million) and favorable foreign currency translation of approximately $19 million, partially offset by softness in food preservation sales, which is primarily due to weather-related seasonal delays. Net sales in the Process Solutions segment decreased 7.7% on a year-over-year basis, primarily due to weakness in the plastics business.

Cost of sales increased $60.4 million, or 5.3%, to $1.2 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2011 versus the same prior year period. The increase is primarily due to the impact of acquisitions and foreign currency translation (approximately $37 million) and increased sales, partially offset by a $25.3 million charge recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2010 related to the purchase accounting adjustment for the elimination of manufacturer’s profit in inventory related to the Acquisition that requires the fair value of the inventory acquired to be valued at the sales price of the finished inventory, less costs to complete and a reasonable profit allowance for selling effort. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was 71.5% and 73.4%, respectively (71.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 excluding the charge for the elimination of manufacturer’s profit in inventory).

SG&A increased $38.7 million, or 14.1%, to $313 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 versus the same prior year period. The increase is primarily due to the impact of acquisitions and gains recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2010 related to derivatives not designated as effective hedges ($14.9 million) and a mark-to-market gain ($10.1 million) associated with the Company’s Euro-denominated debt and intercompany loans.

Table of Contents

Operating earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2011 in the Outdoor Solutions segment increased $5.9 million, or 6.0%, versus the same prior year period primarily due to the gross margin impact of higher sales (approximately $23 million), partially offset by a $17.3 million increase in SG&A. Operating earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2011 in the Consumer Solutions segment increased $6.8 million, or 18.5%, versus the same prior year period primarily due to increased gross margins during 2011 (approximately $16 million), partially offset by an increase in SG&A ($9.0 million). Operating earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2011 in the Branded Consumables segment increased $42.7 million, or 1,857%, versus the same prior year period primarily due to the impact of acquisitions and the charges recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2010 related to the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets ($18.3 million) and the purchase accounting adjustment for the elimination of manufacturer’s profit in inventory ($25.3 million) related to the Acquisition. Operating earnings in the Process Solutions segment for the three months ended June 30, 2011 decreased $2.4 million, or 26.7%, versus the same prior year period primarily as the result of the negative gross margin impact of lower sales and higher commodity costs.

Net interest increased by $2.1 million to $46.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 versus the same prior year period due to higher average levels of outstanding debt versus the same prior year period. The Company’s weighted average interest rate for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately 5.4% and 5.8%, respectively.

The Company’s reported tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately 37.8% and 49.1%, respectively. The increase from the statutory tax rate to the reported tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2011 results principally from U.S. tax expense ($2.5 million) related to the taxation of foreign income and the establishment of a foreign valuation allowance. The increase from the statutory tax rate to the reported tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2010 results principally from the tax expense ($1.1 million) due to non-deductible charges primarily related to the currency devaluation in Venezuela (see “Venezuela Operations”) and the tax expense ($6.0 million) related to non-deductible transaction costs attributable to the Acquisition.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased $35.5 million to $73.9 million versus the same prior year period. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, earnings per diluted share were $0.83 and $0.43, respectively, The increase in net income was primarily due to: charges recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2010 related to the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets ($18.3 million) and the purchase accounting adjustment for the elimination of manufacturer’s profit in inventory ($25.3 million); incremental earnings from acquisitions; and the gross margin impact of higher sales.

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased $421 million, or 15.4%, to $3.2 billion versus the same prior year period. The overall increase in net sales was primarily due to the impact of acquisitions (approximately $310 million), increased point of sale in certain product categories, expanded product offerings and favorable foreign currency translation of approximately $66 million, partially offset by weakness in certain product categories, primarily related to unfavorable weather conditions. Net sales in the Outdoor Solutions segment increased $140 million, or 10.7%, primarily as the result of increased sales in the Coleman business due to expanded air bed product offerings, increased point of sale and earthquake-related sales, increased sales in the apparel and team sports businesses, which is primarily due to increased point of sale; and favorable foreign currency translation of approximately $37 million; partially offset by weakness in the fishing business, which was negatively affected by unfavorable weather conditions and the natural disasters in Japan. Net sales in the Consumer Solutions segment increased $17.5 million, or 2.4%, primarily as the result of increased demand internationally, primarily in Latin America, which is primarily due to gains in distribution. Net sales in the Branded Consumables segment increased $266 million, or 48.1%, which is mainly due to the contribution from acquisitions (approximately $260 million), increases in certain categories in the safety and security business and favorable foreign currency translation of approximately $20 million, partially offset by softness in firelog and playing card sales, as well as softness in food preservation sales, which is primarily due to weather-related seasonal delays. Net sales in the Process Solutions segment decreased 0.2% on a year-over-year basis.

Cost of sales increased $262 million, or 13.0%, to $2.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2011 versus the same prior year

period. The increase is primarily due to the impact of acquisitions (approximately $220 million), foreign currency translation (approximately $45 million) and increased sales, partially offset by a $25.3 million charge recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2010 related to the purchase accounting adjustment for the elimination of manufacturer’s profit in inventory related to the Acquisition. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was 72.2% and 73.7%, respectively (72.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 excluding the charge for the elimination of manufacturer’s profit in inventory).

SG&A increased $14.0 million, or 2.3%, to $626 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 versus the same prior year period. The change is primarily due to the $78.1 million of charges recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2010, related to the Company’s Venezuela operations (see “Venezuela Operations”), partially offset by the impact of acquisitions.

Operating earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2011 in the Outdoor Solutions segment increased $16.0 million, or 11.6%, versus the same prior year period primarily due to the gross margin impact of higher sales (approximately $39 million), partially offset by a $22.9 million increase in SG&A. Operating earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2011 in the Consumer Solutions segment increased $7.0 million, or 9.2%, versus the same prior year period primarily due to increased gross margins during 2011 (approximately $23 million), partially offset by an increase in SG&A ($15.9 million). Operating earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2011 in the Branded Consumables segment increased $58.3 million, or 411%, versus the same prior year period primarily due to the impact of acquisitions and the charges recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2010 related to the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets ($18.3 million) and the purchase accounting adjustment for the elimination of manufacturer’s profit in inventory ($25.3 million) related to the Acquisition. Operating earnings in the Process Solutions segment for the six months ended June 30, 2011 decreased $1.2 million, or 8.2%.

Net interest increased by $7.0 million to $91.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 versus the same prior year period due to higher average levels of outstanding debt versus the same prior year period. The Company’s weighted average interest rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately 5.5% and 5.7%, respectively.

The Company’s reported tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately 37.9% and 412%, respectively. The increase from the statutory tax rate to the reported tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 results principally from U.S. tax expense ($3.0 million) related to the taxation of foreign income and the establishment of a foreign valuation allowance. The increase from the statutory tax rate to the reported tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2010 results principally from the tax expense ($33.6 million) due to non-deductible charges primarily related to the currency devaluation in Venezuela and from the translation of U.S. dollar-denominated net assets in Venezuela (see “Venezuela Operations”) and a tax charge ($6.0 million) related to non-deductible transaction costs attributable to the Acquisition, partially offset by the tax benefit ($18.8 million) related to the reversal of a deferred tax liability attributable to the reduction of Venezuelan earnings considered as not permanently reinvested.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased $114 million to $92.9 million versus the same prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, earnings (loss) per diluted share were $1.04 and ($0.23), respectively. The increase in net income was primarily due to: charges recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2010, which include, $78.1 million of non-cash charges related to the Company’s Venezuela operations (see “Venezuela Operations”), impairment charges for goodwill and intangible assets ($18.3 million) and the purchase accounting adjustment for the elimination of manufacturer’s profit in inventory ($25.3 million); incremental earnings from acquisitions; and the gross margin impact of higher sales, partially offset by an increase in interest expense ($7.0 million) and the loss on early extinguishment of debt ($12.8 million) recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

LIQUIDITY

The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations and the availability under the Facility and the credit facilities of certain foreign subsidiaries as of June 30, 2011 provide sufficient liquidity to support working capital requirements, planned capital expenditures, debt obligations, completion of current and future reorganization and acquisition-related integration programs and pension plan contribution requirements for the foreseeable future.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $24.7 million and $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Improved operating results in 2011 were more than offset by unfavorable working capital changes. The changes are primarily due to the timing of the purchase of comparatively higher seasonal inventory levels in certain businesses, combined with the timing of payments related to the corresponding accounts payable and an increase in cash interest paid.

Table of Contents

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was ($132 million) and $183 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The change is primarily due the period-over-period decrease in the proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt in excess of payments on long-term debt ($301 million) and the increase in the repurchase of common stock, net of shares tendered ($17.0 million).

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $60.7 million and $564 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Cash used for the acquisition of businesses, net of cash acquired and earnout payments for the six months ended June 30, 2011 decreased $509 million over the same period in 2010 due to the Acquisition. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, capital expenditures were $51.1 million versus $64.6 million for the same prior year period. The Company expects to maintain capital expenditures at an annualized run-rate of approximately 2.5% of net sales.

Dividends

On July 1, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08625 per share of the Company’s common stock, or approximately $8 million, paid on July 29, 2011 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 11, 2011. The Company anticipates a total annual dividend for 2011 of $0.345 per share of common stock, which represents approximately a 5% increase over the 2010 annualized dividend. However, the actual declaration of any future cash dividends, and the establishment of record and payment dates, will be subject to final determination by the Board each quarter after its review of the Company’s financial performance.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

On March 31, 2011, the Company completed the Facility, which is comprised of:

 

   

a $525 million senior secured term loan A facility maturing in March 2016, that bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread of 225 basis points;

 

   

a $500 million senior secured term loan B facility maturing in January 2017, which is subject to extension to 2018 under certain conditions, that bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread of 300 basis points; and

 

   

a $250 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), which is comprised of a $175 million U.S. dollar component and a $75 million multi-currency component. The Revolver matures in March 2016 and bears interest at certain selected rates, including LIBOR plus a spread of 225 basis points. At June 30, 2011, there was no amount outstanding under the Revolver. The Company is required to pay commitment fees on the unused balance of the Revolver. At June 30, 2011, the annual commitment fee on unused balances was approximately 0.38%.

The proceeds from the Facility and cash on hand were used to extinguish the entire principal amount outstanding of approximately $1.1 billion under the Company’s prior senior secured credit facility and the entire principal amount outstanding of approximately $22 million under a U.S. dollar-based term loan of a Canadian subsidiary (the “Canadian Term Loan”). As a result of these debt extinguishments, the Company recorded a $12.8 million loss on the extinguishment of debt, which is primarily comprised of a non-cash charge due to the write-off of deferred debt issuance costs relating to the prior senior secured credit facility.

At June 30, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $495 million. At June 30, 2011, net availability under the Revolver was approximately $191 million, after deducting approximately $59 million of outstanding standby and commercial letters of credit.

At June 30, 2011, the Company’s $300 million receivables purchase agreement (the “Securitization Facility”) had outstanding borrowings totaling $300 million. In May 2011, the Company entered into an amendment to the Securitization Facility that extended the term from July 2013 until May 2014 and reduced the borrowing rate margin and the unused line fee to 1.25% and 0.625% per annum, respectively.

Certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company maintain working capital lines of credits with their respective local financial institutions for use in operating activities. At June 30, 2011, the aggregate amount available under these lines of credit totaled approximately $84 million.

The Company was not in default of any of its debt covenants at June 30, 2011.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company repurchased approximately 0.3 million and 1.0 million shares, respectively, of its common stock under its stock repurchase program at a per share average price of $31.68 and $32.97, respectively.

At June 30, 2011, approximately $23 million remains available under this stock repurchase program.

Risk Management

Interest Rate Contracts

The Company manages its fixed and floating rate debt mix using interest rate swaps. The Company uses fixed and floating rate swaps to alter its exposure to the impact of changing interest rates on its consolidated results of operations and future cash outflows for interest. Floating rate swaps are used, depending on market conditions, to convert the fixed rates of long-term debt into short-term variable rates. Fixed rate swaps are used to reduce the Company’s risk of the possibility of increased interest costs. Interest rate swap contracts are therefore used by the Company to separate interest rate risk management from the debt funding decision.

Fair Values Hedges

At June 30, 2011, the Company had $250 million notional amount outstanding in swap agreements that exchange a fixed rate of interest for variable rate of interest (LIBOR) plus an average spread of approximately 495 basis points. These floating rate swaps are designated as fair value hedges against $250 million of principal on the 7 1/2% senior subordinated notes due 2017 for the remaining life of these notes. The effective portion of the fair value gains or losses on these swaps is offset by fair value adjustments in the underlying debt.

During June 2011, the Company terminated $100 million notional amount outstanding in swap agreements that exchange a fixed rate of interest for a variable rate (LIBOR) of interest and received $2.3 million in net proceeds. These floating rate swaps, which were to mature in 2017, were designated as fair value hedges against $100 million of principal on the 7 1/2% senior subordinated notes due 2017. The gain on the termination of these swaps is deferred and is being amortized over the remaining contractual term of the terminated swaps.

Cash Flow Hedges

At June 30, 2011, the Company had $650 million notional amount outstanding in swap agreements (which includes a $200 million notional amount forward-starting swap that becomes effective commencing December 30, 2011) that exchange variable interest rates (LIBOR) for fixed interest rates over the terms of the agreements and are designated as cash flow hedges of the interest rate risk attributable to forecasted variable interest payments and have maturity dates through December 2013. At June 30, 2011, the weighted average fixed rate of interest on these swaps, excluding the forward-starting swap, was approximately 1.7%. The effective portion of the after tax fair value gains or losses on these swaps is included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”).

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

The Company uses forward foreign currency contracts (“foreign currency contracts”) to mitigate the foreign currency exchange rate exposure on the cash flows related to forecasted inventory purchases and sales and have maturity dates through February 2013. The derivatives used to hedge these forecasted transactions that meet the criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of the gains or losses on these derivatives is deferred as a component of AOCI and is recognized in earnings at the same time that the hedged item affects earnings and is included in the same caption in the statements of operations as the underlying hedged item. At June 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $653 million notional amount of foreign currency contracts outstanding that are designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted inventory purchases and sales.

At June 30, 2011, the Company had outstanding approximately $210 million notional amount of foreign currency contracts that are not designated as effective hedges for accounting purposes and have maturity dates through December 2012. Fair market value gains or losses are included in the results of operations and are classified in SG&A.

Commodity Contracts

The Company enters into commodity-based derivatives in order to mitigate the risk that the rising price of these commodities could have on the cost of certain of the Company’s raw materials. These commodity-based derivatives provide the Company with cost certainty, and in certain instances allow the Company to benefit should the cost of the commodity fall below certain dollar thresholds. At June 30, 2011, the Company had outstanding approximately $12 million notional amount of commodity-based derivatives that are not designated as effective hedges for accounting purposes and have maturity dates through December 2011. Fair market value gains or losses are included in the results of operations and are classified in SG&A.

Net Investment Hedge

The Company designated its Euro-denominated 7 1/2% senior subordinated notes due 2020, with an aggregate principal balance of €150 million (the “Hedging Instrument”), as a net investment hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in certain Euro-denominated subsidiaries. Foreign currency gains and losses on the Hedging Instrument are included as a component of AOCI. At June 30, 2011, $23.0 million of deferred losses have been recorded in AOCI.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Other than as discussed above, there have been no material changes from the information previously reported under Part II, Item 7A. in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

As required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act, the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the Company’s internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred during the quarter covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, there have been no such changes during the period covered by this quarterly report.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various legal disputes and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company or certain of its subsidiaries have been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) or a state environmental agency as a Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”) pursuant to the federal Superfund Act and/or state Superfund laws comparable to the federal law at various sites. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that the disposition of any of the legal or environmental disputes the Company or its subsidiaries are currently involved in will have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. It is possible that, as additional information becomes available, the impact on the Company of an adverse determination could have a different effect.

Litigation

The Company and/or its subsidiaries are involved in various lawsuits arising from time to time that the Company considers ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business. Amounts accrued for litigation matters represent the anticipated costs (damages and/or settlement amounts) in connection with pending litigation and claims and related anticipated legal fees for defending such actions. The costs are accrued when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The accruals are based upon the Company’s assessment, after consultation with counsel (if deemed appropriate), of probable loss based on the facts and circumstances of each case, the legal issues involved, the nature of the claim made, the nature of the damages sought and any relevant information about the plaintiffs and other significant factors that vary by case. When it is not possible to estimate a specific expected cost to be incurred, the Company evaluates the range of probable loss and records the minimum end of the range. The Company believes that anticipated probable costs of litigation matters have been adequately reserved to the extent determinable. Based on current information, the Company believes that the ultimate conclusion of the various pending litigation of the Company, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Product Liability

As a consumer goods manufacturer and distributor, the Company and/or its subsidiaries face the risk of product liability and related lawsuits involving claims for substantial money damages, product recall actions and higher than anticipated rates of warranty returns or other returns of goods.

The Company and/or its subsidiaries are therefore party to various personal injury and property damage lawsuits relating to their products and incidental to its business. Annually, the Company sets its product liability insurance program, which is an occurrence-based program based on the Company and its subsidiaries’ current and historical claims experience and the availability and cost of insurance. The Company’s product liability insurance program generally includes a self-insurance retention per occurrence.

Cumulative amounts estimated to be payable by the Company with respect to pending and potential claims for all years in which the Company is liable under its self-insurance retention have been accrued as liabilities. Such accrued liabilities are based on estimates (which include actuarial determinations made by an independent actuarial consultant as to liability exposure, taking into account prior experience, number of claims and other relevant factors); thus, the Company’s ultimate liability may exceed or be less than the amounts accrued. The methods of making such estimates and establishing the resulting liability are reviewed on a regular basis and any adjustments resulting therefrom are reflected in current operating results.

Based on current information, the Company believes that the ultimate conclusion of the various pending product liability claims and lawsuits of the Company, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
