Item 2.02 | Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
On February 12, 2015, we issued a press release announcing our financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2014. A copy of our press release announcing our earnings results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2014 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The earnings press release furnished herewith contains financial measures that are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). For purposes of Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a companys 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 in accordance with GAAP in the statements of operations, 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, Jarden Corporation (the Company) has provided reconciliations within the earnings release of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses non-GAAP measures of organic net sales growth, adjusted gross margin, adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses, segment earnings, adjusted net interest expense, adjusted income tax provision, adjusted net income and adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share. These non-GAAP measures are provided because management of the Company uses these financial measures in monitoring and evaluating the Companys 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 Companys 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 impairment charges of goodwill, intangibles and other assets, certain restructuring costs, acquisition-related and other costs, non-cash purchase accounting adjustments, the elimination of manufacturers profit in inventory, Venezuela hyperinflationary and foreign exchange-related charges, non-cash stock-based compensation costs, gain (loss) on sale of certain assets, loss on early extinguishment of debt, non-cash original issue discount amortization and other items, as applicable. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Also attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.2 is a reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures anticipated to be discussed during our February 12, 2015 earnings conference call to the most directly comparable financial measure in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA is expected to be presented in the earnings conference call because the Companys credit facility and senior subordinated notes contain financial and other covenants which are based on or refer to the Companys EBITDA. Additionally, EBITDA is a basis upon which our management assesses financial performance and we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in measuring the operating performance
and creditworthiness of companies with comparable market capitalization to the Company, many of which present EBITDA when reporting their results. Furthermore, EBITDA is one of the factors used to determine the total amount of bonuses available to be awarded to management and other employees. EBITDA is widely used by the Company to evaluate potential acquisition candidates. Adjusted EBITDA (as referred to as Segment Earnings), excluding adjustments relating to non-cash impairment charges of goodwill, intangibles and other assets, certain restructuring costs, acquisition-related and other costs, non-cash purchase accounting adjustments, the elimination of manufacturers profit in inventory, Venezuela hyperinflationary and foreign exchange-related charges, non-cash stock-based compensation costs, loss on early extinguishment of debt, non-cash original issue discount amortization and other items, as applicable, is expected to be presented in the earnings conference call because it is a basis upon which the Companys management has assessed its financial performance in the years presented. Organic net sales growth, net sales growth excluding the impacts of foreign exchange, certain acquisitions and exited businesses from year over year comparisons, is expected to be presented in the earnings conference call because the Company believes this measure provides investors with a more complete understanding of the underlying sales trends by providing net sales on a consistent basis and it is one of the measures management of the Company uses to analyze operating performance. Additionally, the Company uses non-GAAP financial measures because the Companys 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 impairment charges of goodwill, intangibles and other assets, certain restructuring costs, acquisition-related and other costs, non-cash purchase accounting adjustments, the elimination of manufacturers profit in inventory, Venezuela hyperinflationary and foreign exchange-related charges, gain (loss) on sale of certain assets, non-cash stock-based compensation costs, loss on early extinguishment of debt, non-cash original issue discount amortization and other items.
The non-GAAP financial measures described above should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP that are presented in the earnings release.
The information in this Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 attached hereto shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Our management team and dedicated employees are committed to driving our performance and to delivering our long-term goals.

We are proud of our track record and look forward to continuing our positive performance in 2015 and beyond.
James E. Lillie, Chief Executive Officer commented, Our results reflect broad-based portfolio strength and disciplined execution. New records were set both in the fourth quarter and full year 2014 across many metrics, such as revenues, gross margins on a reported as well as on an as adjusted basis, segment earnings, and adjusted diluted earnings per share. Our results from 2014 mark a solid start to achieving our long-term financial goals. We have entered the year with positive momentum and are focused on achieving our 2015 guidance.
All earnings per share and shares outstanding amounts have been adjusted to reflect the effects of the 3-for-2 splits of the Companys outstanding shares of common stock that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2014 and during the first quarter of 2013.

Note 2: All earnings per share and shares outstanding amounts have been adjusted to reflect the effects of the 3-for-2 splits of the Companys outstanding shares of common stock that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2014 and during the first quarter of 2013.
Note 3: Organic net sales growth is a non-GAAP measure of net sales growth excluding the impacts of foreign exchange, certain acquisitions and exited businesses from year-over-year comparisons. The Company believes this measure provides investors with a more complete understanding of the underlying sales trends by providing net sales on a consistent basis. Organic net sales growth is also one of the measures used by management to analyze operating performance. The following table provides a reconciliation of organic net sales growth to the comparable GAAP measure of net sales growth for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2014:

Note 4: This earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures that may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. For purposes of Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a companys 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 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 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 monitoring and evaluating the Companys 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 Companys 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, non-cash impairment charges of goodwill, intangibles and other assets, adjustments relating to certain restructuring costs, acquisition-related and other costs, non-cash purchase accounting adjustments, the elimination of manufacturers profit in inventory, Venezuela hyperinflationary and foreign exchange-related charges, non-cash stock-based compensation costs, gain (loss) on sale of certain assets, loss on early extinguishment of debt, non-cash original issue discount amortization and other items, as applicable. Adjusted gross margin is calculated by dividing adjusted gross profit by net sales. Segment earnings (As Adjusted EBITDA) margin is calculated by dividing segment earnings (As Adjusted EBITDA) by net sales. Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) margin is calculated by dividing adjusted SG&A by net sales. Adjusted net interest expense is calculated by deducting original issue discount amortization from net interest expense. Adjusted income tax provision is calculated by adding the income tax provision adjustment, which reflects the normalization of the adjusted results to the Companys estimated effective tax rate, to the income tax provision. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
