Sales Growth Above Guidance, Normalized EPS at High End of
Expectations ATLANTA, July 31, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Newell Rubbermaid (NYSE: NWL) today announced its second quarter
2008 financial results. Net sales grew 7.8 percent to $1.83 billion
in the second quarter, compared to $1.69 billion in the prior year.
The acquisitions of Technical Concepts and Aprica contributed 4.6
percent. Internal sales growth, which excludes the effect of
significant acquisitions, was 3.2 percent. Double-digit increases
in the Rubbermaid Commercial, Rubbermaid Food and European and Asia
Pacific Office Products businesses, as well as high single digit
growth in the Baby & Parenting Essentials business, led the
sales improvement, offsetting declines in the North American Office
Products, Tools & Hardware and Decor businesses. Foreign
currency contributed 2.9 percent. "We were pleased to deliver
second quarter results in line with expectations despite
significant cost inflation and a challenging U.S. economy," said
Mark Ketchum, president and chief executive officer of Newell
Rubbermaid. "Looking forward, we are taking decisive action to
strengthen our portfolio and protect the company's margins and
profitability. These previously announced initiatives include
aggressive pricing increases and the restructuring of our product
portfolio to reduce exposure to commodity-like product lines. In
addition, we will continue our strategy of investing in innovation
and brand building. We are confident that these actions will
position Newell Rubbermaid as a stronger, less volatile and more
profitable company and will enhance long-term shareholder value."
Gross margin during the second quarter was 34.1 percent, down 160
basis points from last year, as higher productivity, savings from
Project Acceleration and favorable pricing were more than offset by
significant increases in cost inflation. Excluding Project
Acceleration restructuring costs and related impairment charges of
$69.4 million in 2008 and $15.5 million in 2007, operating income
was $230.3 million, compared to $248.3 million in the prior year,
reflecting the impact of higher cost inflation and the company's
continued investment in strategic brand building activities and
corporate initiatives. Normalized earnings, which exclude Project
Acceleration restructuring costs and related impairment charges,
were $0.49 per diluted share, consistent with the company's
guidance and down 12 percent to last year's normalized EPS of
$0.55. (A reconciliation of the results "as reported" to results
"excluding charges" is included below.) Income from continuing
operations, as reported, was $92.5 million, or $0.33 per diluted
share, compared to $143.2 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, in
the prior year. Operating cash flow was $1.9 million, compared to
$158.3 million for the prior year. The difference was largely
attributable to timing of cash payments and lower net income.
Capital expenditures were $38.2 million in the second quarter,
compared to $36.4 million for the prior year. A reconciliation of
the second quarter 2008 and last year's results is as follows: Q2
2008 Q2 2007 Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations

EPS: $0.49 $0.55 Six Months Results Net sales for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 grew 5.9 percent to $3.26 billion, compared to
$3.08 billion in the prior year. The acquisitions of Technical
Concepts and Aprica together contributed 2.5 percent of sales
growth. Internal sales growth, which excludes the effect of
significant acquisitions, was 3.4 percent for the six months.
Double-digit increases in the Rubbermaid Commercial, Rubbermaid
Food and European and Asia Pacific Office Products businesses and
high single digit growth in the Home & Family segment led the
sales improvement, offsetting declines in the North American Office
Products and Decor businesses. Foreign currency contributed 3.1
percent. Gross margin was 34.2 percent, a 90 basis point decline
versus prior year results, primarily as a result of dramatically
higher cost inflation. Normalized earnings, which exclude Project
Acceleration restructuring costs and related impairment charges and
one-time tax benefits, were $0.76 per share, as compared with the
prior year's result of $0.83 per share. (A reconciliation of the
results "as reported" to results "excluding charges" is included
below.) Income from continuing operations, as reported, was $149.9
million, or $0.54 per share, compared to $208.3 million, or $0.75
per share, in the prior year. Net cash used in operating activities
was $121.3 million, compared to a source of $172.8 million in the
prior year. Capital expenditures were $78.2 million, compared to
$69.0 million for the prior year. A reconciliation of the first six
months 2008 and last year's results is as follows: YTD Q2 2008 YTD
Q2 2007 Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations (as
reported) $0.54 $0.75 Project Acceleration restructuring costs

EPS: $0.76 $0.83 2008 Full Year Guidance The company reiterated its
guidance for net sales growth of between six and eight percent for
the full year, including the impact of the Technical Concepts and
Aprica acquisitions. Internal sales growth, which excludes the
effect of significant acquisitions, continues to be projected at
between two and four percent for the full year, in large part
driven by stronger foreign currency in combination with internal
sales growth in the Rubbermaid Commercial and Rubbermaid Food
businesses and the Home & Family segment. The impact of
recently announced pricing initiatives will be largely offset by
anticipated volume declines related to the exiting of certain
product lines. Due to dramatic increases in raw material and
sourced finished goods inflation, which are expected to more than
offset pricing, ongoing productivity improvements and Project
Acceleration savings, the company now anticipates gross margin will
contract 100 to 175 basis points versus last year. The company
remains committed to increasing its investment in strategic brand
building and corporate initiatives. Consistent with the guidance
provided in its July 15 press release, the company expects
normalized earnings of between $1.40 and $1.60 per diluted share.
As a result primarily of lower net income and the timing of certain
working capital items, operating cash flow is now expected to be
between $350 million and $400 million for the full year, compared
to previous guidance of between $600 million and $650 million. This
guidance reflects the company's expectation of a significant
improvement in cash flow in the back half of the year compared with
the first six months of 2008 due to seasonality of the business and
planned actions to reduce working capital. The cash flow guidance
provided assumes approximately $80 million in restructuring cash
payments. Capital expenditures projections are unchanged at $160 to
$180 million. 2008 Third Quarter Guidance For the third quarter,
the company anticipates net sales growth of between six and seven
percent and internal sales growth of two to four percent, driven
primarily by the impact of favorable foreign currency and continued
strength in Rubbermaid Commercial, Rubbermaid Food, our
international businesses and the Home & Family segment. The
company expects to generate normalized earnings in a range from
$0.31 to $0.35 per diluted share, as compared with $0.52 last year.
The expected decline is a result of higher cost inflation in raw
materials and sourced products, and continued investment in
strategic initiatives. A reconciliation of the third quarter and
full year 2008 earnings outlook is as follows: Q3 2008 FY 2008
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations (as
reported): $0.11 - $0.15 $0.78 - $0.91 Project Acceleration
restructuring costs $0.05 to $0.09 $0.46 to $0.59 Diluted earnings
per share from continuing operations (excluding charges): $0.18 -
$0.22 $1.27 - $1.47 One-time event $0.13 $0.13 "Normalized" EPS:
$0.31 - $0.35 $1.40 - $1.60 "One-time event" reflects the net of
tax impact of the company's third quarter purchase of a call option
with respect to its $250 million of 6.35% Reset notes due 2028 for
approximately $52 million. The call option holder had the right to
remarket these notes in July 2008 and again in July 2018. The
company utilized its commercial paper program to fund the purchase
of the call option and the redemption of the notes in order to
pursue more favorable financing terms. Conference Call The
