ATLANTA, Feb. 13, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Newell Rubbermaid ( NWL) announced today that its Board of Directors has approved an extension and expansion to the Company's on-going share repurchase program. Under the updated plan, effective immediately, Newell Rubbermaid is authorized to repurchase up to $300 million of its outstanding shares through the end of 2016.

"Today's action reflects the Board's continued confidence in the company's Growth Game Plan and long term growth outlook," said Michael Polk, president and chief executive officer. "Our strong balance sheet and cash flow provide us with the flexibility to opportunistically repurchase shares while continuing to invest in our brands and other growth opportunities to drive value for our shareholders."
Under the program, the company's common shares may be purchased through a combination of a 10b5-1 automatic trading plan and discretionary purchases on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The amount and timing of any purchases will depend on a number of factors, including trading price, trading volume and general market conditions.

Reaffirms Full Year Guidance
Increases Quarterly Dividend 13 percent to $0.17 per share
ATLANTA, May 2, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Newell Rubbermaid ( NWL) today announced its first quarter 2014 financial results.
"We delivered solid first quarter results in the context of two previously communicated events. Our team did a good job overcoming the adverse impacts of the harness buckle recall on select car seats in our U.S. Baby business and the weather-related slow down on our U.S.-centric Home Solutions business," said Michael Polk, Chief Executive Officer. "Strong core sales growth in Writing offset declines in Home Solutions and Baby, yielding normalized earnings per share of $0.35, flat with last year's results.
"We are confident in our full year financial guidance and expect the company's core sales and earnings per share growth to accelerate through the balance of the year as we significantly increase advertising and promotion investment levels in support of our brands and innovation. Importantly, the Board of Directors has approved a 13 percent increase in our quarterly dividend to $0.17, an annualized rate of $0.68 per share. This is the fourth dividend increase in the last three years, which is a reflection of the Board's continued confidence in Newell's strong cash generation ability and in the promise of our Growth Game Plan."
First Quarter Executive Summary
Net sales were $1.23 billion, a 0.7 percent decline versus prior year results.
Core sales, which exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency, grew 0.7 percent.
Normalized gross margin was 38.8 percent, a 60 basis point improvement compared with the prior year period. Reported gross margin was 38.1 percent versus 38.2 percent in the prior year period.
Normalized operating margin was 11.0 percent versus 11.2 percent in the prior year period. Reported operating margin increased 60 basis points to 8.5 percent.
Normalized diluted earnings per share were $0.35 compared with $0.35 in the prior year. Reported diluted earnings per share were $0.19 compared with $0.19 in the prior year.
The company's first quarter reported results include an $11.0 million charge ($0.02 per diluted share) which reflects the cost of harness buckle recall issues on select car seats in our Baby segment. This charge has been excluded from normalized operating income and normalized EPS.
Operating cash flow was a use of $92.1 million compared with a use of $123.1 million in the prior year period.
The company paid dividends of $42.9 million and repurchased 1.5 million shares of common stock at a cost of $44.4 million. In addition, the company took delivery of 2.0 million shares in mid-March to complete the Accelerated Share Repurchase program initiated in the fourth quarter of 2013.
The company announced a 13 percent ($0.02 per share) increase in its quarterly dividend to $0.17 per share.
The company recorded a monetary asset devaluation charge of $38.7 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, associated with adopting the SICAD I rate for its Venezuelan operations.
The company reaffirmed its guidance for 2014 core sales growth of 3 to 4 percent, operating margin improvement of up to 40 basis points, normalized EPS of $1.94 to $2.00 and operating cash flow of $600 to $650 million.First Quarter 2014 Operating Results
Net sales in the first quarter were $1.23 billion, compared with $1.24 billion in the prior year. Core sales, which exclude 140 basis points of negative foreign currency impact, grew 0.7 percent.
Reported gross margin was 38.1 percent. Normalized gross margin was 38.8 percent, a 60 basis point improvement versus prior year results. Normalized gross margin excludes the impact of costs associated with the harness buckle recall. Pricing and productivity more than offset inflation and the negative impact of transactional foreign currency.
First quarter reported operating margin was 8.5 percent compared with 7.9 percent in the prior year. Reported operating income was $105.2 million versus $97.8 million.
Normalized operating margin was 11.0 percent, compared with 11.2 percent in the prior year period. Normalized operating income was $135.9 million compared with $138.8 million in the prior year period. First quarter 2014 normalized operating income excludes restructuring and restructuring-related costs of $19.7 million and $11.0 million of costs associated with the harness buckle recall issue while 2013 normalized operating income excludes $41.0 million of restructuring and restructuring-related costs.
The company reported a net benefit for income taxes of $1.3 million due to discrete period benefits relating to resolution of certain tax items and the tax rate applicable to the $38.7 million charge associated with its Venezuelan operations. The reported tax expense for the prior year period was $6.4 million. The normalized tax rate was 18.4 percent compared with 16.5 percent in the prior year.
Reported net income was $52.9 million, compared with $54.2 million in the prior year. Reported diluted earnings per share were $0.19 compared with the prior year's $0.19 per diluted share. Lower restructuring costs and the positive impact from a lower share count were offset by a $38.7 million monetary asset devaluation charge resulting from the adoption of the SICAD I Venezuelan Bolivar exchange rate and the $11.0 million charge reflecting the costs associated with the harness buckle recall issue.
Normalized net income was $98.1 million, compared with $102.1 million in the prior year. Normalized diluted earnings per share of $0.35 were flat compared with the prior year as 60 basis points of normalized gross margin increase and a lower share count were offset by the loss of sales momentum on Baby due to the harness buckle recall and the sluggish performance of the U.S.-centric Home Solutions segment as a result of a weather-related slowdown in U.S. retailer point-of-sale results.
For the first quarter 2014, normalized diluted earnings per share exclude $0.05 per diluted share for restructuring and restructuring-related costs associated with Project Renewal, $0.02 per diluted share associated with the harness buckle recall in Baby & Parenting and $0.09 per diluted share resulting from the use of the SICAD I exchange rate for the company's Venezuelan operations. For the first quarter 2013, normalized diluted earnings per share exclude $0.12 per diluted share for restructuring and restructuring-related costs associated with Project Renewal, $0.02 per diluted share resulting from the devaluation of the Venezuelan Bolivar, $0.02 per diluted share attributable to the resolution of tax contingencies, and a net loss (including impairments) from discontinued operations of $0.03 per diluted share. (A reconciliation to "normalized" results is included below.)
Operating cash flow was a use of $92.1 million compared with a use of $123.1 million last year, primarily due to the absence of a U.S. pension plan contribution.
Recall of Harness Buckles on Select Car Seats
In February 2014, Graco announced a voluntary recall in the U.S. of harness buckles used on approximately 4 million toddler car seats manufactured between 2006 and 2013. There have been no reported injuries associated with the recalled harness buckles. These toddler car seat buckles were susceptible to contamination from food, debris or spilled liquids, which can result in difficulty or inability to open the buckles. As a result of the recall, affected car seats which were at retail or in customer warehouses have been reworked in the field or returned to the company for rework. Graco continues to offer consumers replacement harness buckles at no cost.
Graco is in ongoing discussions with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) regarding a potential recall of harness buckles used on select infant car seats. The company remains hopeful that its dialogue with NHTSA and shared commitment to child passenger safety will result in a constructive resolution and the best outcome for consumers. The company expects the infant harness buckle discussions will be resolved in the second quarter.
The Company's first quarter reported results include an $11.0 million charge (or $0.02 per diluted share) which includes the cost of the first quarter recall of harness buckles on select toddler car seats as well as the company's current estimate of costs associated with the infant car seat harness buckle issue. This charge has been excluded from normalized operating income and normalized EPS. Normalized operating income and normalized EPS do not exclude the impact on net sales of returns from retailers or the lost sales associated with approximately five weeks of lost shipments on the affected toddler car seats.
A reconciliation of the first quarter 2014 and 2013 results is as follows:
| Q1 2014* | Q1 2013* |

| | Diluted earnings per share (as reported) | $0.19 | $0.19 |

First Quarter 2014 Operating Segment Results
Writing net sales for the first quarter were $361.3 million, a 6.1 percent improvement compared to prior year. Core sales increased 8.0 percent, driven by pricing and market share growth in the Americas, partially offset by product line exits in Europe. Operating income was $77.1 million, or 21.3 percent of sales, compared with $63.2 million, or 18.6 percent of sales, in the prior year. The increase in operating margin was largely driven by positive mix, productivity, and pricing in Latin America.
Home Solutions net sales were $321.2 million, a 5.2 percent decline compared to prior year. Core sales declined 4.5 percent, as weather-related point-of-sale softness and the negative effect on volume of less merchandising on certain Rubbermaid Consumer low margin product lines were partially offset by increased distribution on Calphalon(R). Normalized operating income was $26.3 million, or 8.2 percent of sales, compared with $34.1 million, or 10.1 percent of sales, in the prior year. The decrease in operating margin was driven by input cost inflation and the deleveraging effect on margins of lower sales volumes, partially offset by productivity and pricing.
Tools segment net sales were $187.8 million, a 0.4 percent decline compared to prior year. Core sales increased 2.4 percent driven by strong volume and share growth on Lenox in North America and Irwin in Europe. Adjusting for the prior year pull forward of volume into the first quarter of 2013 related to the second quarter 2013 SAP conversion in Brazil, Tools global core sales increased 5.2 percent. Operating income was $21.4 million, or 11.4 percent of sales, compared with $18.7 million, or 9.9 percent of sales, in the prior year. The increase in operating margin was driven by pricing and favorable mix partially offset by inflation.
Commercial Products net sales were $182.6 million, a 0.3 percent decrease compared to prior year. Core sales increased 0.2 percent as solid growth on Rubbermaid Commercial Products was largely offset by weakness in the U.S. Healthcare business against a very strong year ago comparison period. Operating income was $13.8 million, or 7.6 percent of sales, compared with $21.6 million, or 11.8 percent of sales, in the prior year period. The decrease in operating margin reflects inflation and increased investment in selling capabilities in North America and Latin America.
Baby & Parenting net sales were $179.3 million, a decline of 5.4 percent compared to prior year. Core sales declined 4.4 percent, primarily attributable to the U.S. recall of harness buckles on select toddler car seats and the exit of certain product lines in Europe. Normalized operating income was $16.4 million, or 9.1 percent of sales, compared with $23.9 million, or 12.6 percent of sales, in the prior year. The decrease in operating margin was largely due to inflation and the absence of fixed cost leverage associated with lower sales volume.
2014 Full Year Outlook
Newell Rubbermaid reaffirmed its full year 2014 guidance as follows:
Core sales growth of 3 to 4 percent;
Normalized operating margin improvement of up to 40 basis points;
Normalized EPS of $1.94 to $2.00; and
Operating cash flow between $600 and $650 million.The company now expects foreign exchange to have a negative impact on 2014 net sales of about 200 basis points and to have a negative impact on both normalized and reported EPS of $0.04 to $0.05 per diluted share for the balance of 2014. Subsequent to the first quarter, the company will begin using the exchange rate determined by periodic auctions for U.S. dollars conducted under Venezuela's SICAD I exchange mechanism (approximately 10.5 to 11.0 Bolivars per U.S. dollar).
2014 normalized EPS guidance excludes between $100 and $120 million of Project Renewal restructuring and restructuring-related charges. (A reconciliation of expected reported results to "normalized" results is included below.)
The company is on track to realize cumulative annualized cost savings of $270 to $325 million by the second quarter of 2015 related to Project Renewal. The majority of these savings will be reinvested in the business to strengthen brand building and selling capabilities and accelerate growth.
Operating cash flow guidance assumes $100 to $120 million in restructuring and restructuring-related cash payments. Capital expenditures are projected at $150 to $175 million.
A reconciliation of the 2014 earnings outlook is as follows:
| FY 2014 |
|
| | Diluted earnings per share | $1.50 to $1.56 |
|
| | Restructuring and restructuring-related costs | $0.29 to $0.37 |
|
| | Costs associated with harness buckle recall | $0.02 |
|
| | Currency devaluation - Venezuela | $0.09 |
|
|
|
| | Normalized EPS | $1.94 to $2.00 |
Conference Call
The company's first quarter 2014 earnings conference call will be held today, May 2, 2014, at 8:00 a.m. ET. A link to the webcast is provided under Events & Presentations in the Investor Relations section of Newell Rubbermaid's Web site at www.newellrubbermaid.com. The webcast will be available for replay. A supporting slide presentation will be made available in the Investor Relations section on the company's Web site under Quarterly Earnings.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release contains non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and includes a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
The company uses certain financial measures that are included in this press release and the additional financial information both in explaining its results to stockholders and the investment community and in its internal evaluation and management of its businesses. The company's management believes that these measures - including those that are "non-GAAP financial measures" - and the information they provide are useful to investors since these measures (a) permit investors to view the company's performance using the same tools that management uses to evaluate the company's past performance, reportable business segments and prospects for future performance and (b) determine certain elements of management's incentive compensation.
The company's management believes that core sales, as reflected in the Currency Analysis, is useful to investors because it demonstrates the effect of foreign currency on reported sales. The effect of foreign currency on reported sales is determined by applying a fixed exchange rate, calculated as the 12-month average in 2013, to the current and prior year local currency sales amounts, with the difference in these two amounts being the change in core sales and the difference between the change in as reported sales and the change in core sales reported as the currency impact. The company believes that providing adjusted core sales excluding the impacts of product line exits and timing shifts related to implementations of SAP is useful in that it helps investors understand underlying business trends. The company's management believes that "normalized" gross margin, "normalized" SG&A expense, "normalized" operating income and "normalized" tax rates, which exclude restructuring and restructuring-related expenses and one-time events such as costs related to product recalls, the extinguishment of debt, certain tax benefits and charges, impairment charges, discontinued operations and certain other items, are useful because they provide investors with a meaningful perspective on the current underlying performance of the company's core ongoing operations. The company's management believes that "normalized" earnings per share, which also excludes restructuring and restructuring-related charges and one-time events such as losses related to product recalls, monetary asset devaluations resulting from the adoption of the SICAD I Venezuelan Bolivar exchange rate, the extinguishments of debt, tax benefits and charges, impairment charges, discontinued operations and certain other items, is useful to investors because it permits investors to better understand year-over-year changes in underlying operating performance. The company also uses both core sales and normalized earnings per share as two of the three performance criteria in its management cash bonus plan.
The company determines the tax effect of the items excluded from normalized diluted earnings per share by applying the estimated effective rate for the applicable jurisdiction in which the pre-tax items were incurred, and for which realization of the resulting tax benefit, if any, is expected.
While the company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the company's performance, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for or superior to the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similar measures presented by other companies.

We intend to invest behind the business to build on Ignite's current strong momentum, expanding product lines, channels of distribution and geographic footprint over time."
Sami El-Saden, CEO of Ignite, said "We are delighted to have found a long term strategic owner for the business who shares our pride in the achievements and strength of the company, but can bring a new level of investment and global perspective."
The acquisition is expected to be financed through a combination of organic cash flow and available borrowings and is expected to close by the end of the third quarter of 2014, subject to customary conditions and regulatory approvals.

"We have delivered very strong second quarter results across all key metrics," said Michael Polk, Newell Rubbermaid's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Outstanding top line performance in Writing, Tools and Commercial Products drove core sales growth of 4.6 percent. Normalized gross margin increased to 40.3 percent driven by pricing, productivity and positive mix. Normalized operating margin increased to 15.8 percent despite more than doubling our investment in advertising, and normalized EPS increased 18 percent to $0.59. These strong results give us increased confidence that our strategy of accelerating advertising and promotion in support of our brands is working. In fact, we now believe we are tracking toward the high end of our normalized EPS guidance range of $1.94 to $2.00 for the full year.
"Beyond an excellent set of results, we are very pleased with the recently announced agreement to acquire Ignite Holdings and its Contigo(R) and Avex(R) brands. Ignite has a proven design and innovation capability in the fast growing on-the-go beverage container market and has built a strong track record of growth. I am excited by the prospects of leveraging both our own investments in our new state-of-the-art design center and Ignite's capabilities to strengthen Newell Rubbermaid into a brand- and innovation-led company that is famous for design and product performance."
Second Quarter 2014 Operating Results
Net sales in the second quarter were $1.52 billion, compared with $1.47 billion in the prior year. Core sales, which exclude 150 basis points of negative foreign currency impact, grew 4.6 percent.
Reported gross margin was 40.0 percent. Normalized gross margin was 40.3 percent, an 80 basis point improvement versus prior year results. The benefits of pricing, productivity and positive mix more than offset inflation.
Second quarter reported operating margin was 14.0 percent compared with 12.6 percent in the prior year. Reported operating income was $213.4 million versus $185.4 million.
Normalized operating margin was 15.8 percent, compared with 14.9 percent in the prior year period. Normalized operating income was $239.8 million compared with $219.5 million in the prior year period. Second quarter 2014 normalized operating income excludes restructuring and restructuring-related costs of $22.0 million, $4.0 million of charges associated with the first turn of Venezuela inventory after the first quarter 2014 devaluation and $0.4 million of costs associated with the recall of harness buckles on select car seats. Second quarter 2013 normalized operating income excludes $34.1 million of restructuring and restructuring-related costs.
Both reported and normalized operating margins reflect gross margin expansion and significantly improved operating results in Writing, Tools and Commercial Products.
The reported tax rate was 25.8 percent versus 29.8 percent in the prior year period. The normalized tax rate was 27.2 percent compared with 26.6 percent in the prior year.
Reported net income was $150.6 million, compared with $109.8 million in the prior year. Reported diluted earnings per share were $0.54 compared with the prior year's $0.37 per diluted share. Increased sales, lower restructuring costs, a lower tax rate and the positive impact from a lower share count drove the improvement.
Normalized net income was $165.6 million, compared with $147.1 million in the prior year. Normalized diluted earnings per share of $0.59 compared with the prior year's $0.50. The year over year improvement was attributable to increased sales volume, gross margin expansion and the positive impact of a lower share count.
For the second quarter 2014, normalized diluted earnings per share excludes $0.06 per diluted share for restructuring and restructuring-related costs associated with Project Renewal, $0.01 per diluted share for the increased cost of products sold for the first turn of Venezuela inventory after the first quarter 2014 devaluation, $0.01 per diluted share of income tax benefits attributable to the resolution of tax contingencies and net income from discontinued operations of $0.01 per diluted share. For the second quarter 2013, normalized diluted earnings per share excludes $0.10 per diluted share for restructuring and restructuring-related costs associated with Project Renewal, and a net loss (including impairments) from discontinued operations of $0.02 per diluted share. (A reconciliation of the "as reported" results to "normalized" results is included below.)
Operating cash flow was $96.2 million compared with $63.3 million in the prior year period.

Second Quarter 2014 Operating Segment Results
Writing net sales for the second quarter were $502.6 million, a 5.2 percent increase compared to prior year. Core sales increased 8.9 percent, driven by pricing in Latin America and better than expected Back-to-School sell-in in anticipation of the company's planned heavy third quarter 2014 advertising, marketing, and merchandising programs. Normalized operating income was $133.6 million compared with $123.6 million in the prior year. Despite a significant increase in advertising investment, normalized operating margin increased 70 basis points to 26.6 percent driven by strong productivity and disciplined overhead management.
Home Solutions net sales were $388.9 million, a 2.6 percent decline compared to prior year. Core sales declined 1.8 percent, as share growth on Calphalon(R) and Rubbermaid(R) Food and Beverage was more than offset by declines on certain lower margin product lines. Operating income was $48.3 million, or 12.4 percent of sales, compared with $53.7 million, or 13.5 percent of sales, in the prior year. The decrease in operating margin was driven by input cost inflation and the deleveraging effect on margins from lower sales volumes, partially offset by productivity and overhead cost management.
Tools segment net sales were $222.3 million, a 12.3 percent improvement compared to prior year. Core sales increased 12.9 percent driven by strong volume growth on Irwin(R) in all geographic regions. Adjusting for the prior year pull forward of volume into the first quarter of 2013 related to the SAP conversion in Brazil, Tools global core sales increased 10.1 percent. Operating income was $29.9 million, or 13.5 percent of sales, compared with $18.3 million, or 9.2 percent of sales, in the prior year. The increase in operating margin was primarily driven by improved leverage of costs on higher sales volume, pricing and mix.
Commercial Products net sales were $223.5 million, a 9.8 percent increase compared to prior year. Core sales increased 9.9 percent attributable to pricing and very good volume growth on Rubbermaid Commercial Products(R) and the return to growth of Rubbermaid Healthcare(R) in North America. Operating income was $36.2 million, or 16.2 percent of sales, compared with $21.9 million, or 10.8 percent of sales, in the prior year period. The increase in operating margin reflects the benefits of pricing and strong productivity, partially offset by input cost inflation.
Baby & Parenting net sales were $183.7 million, a decline of 6.4 percent compared to prior year. Core sales declined 6.7 percent, as product line exits in Europe and competitive pressures in Japan more than offset slight growth in North America. Normalized operating income was $12.6 million, or 6.9 percent of sales, compared with $23.8 million, or 12.1 percent of sales, in the prior year. The decrease in normalized operating margin was largely due to geographical mix and the adverse impact of foreign currency.
Six Month Results
Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased 1.4 percent to $2.75 billion, compared with $2.72 billion in the prior year. Core sales increased 2.8 percent for the six months with foreign currency adversely impacting net sales by 140 basis points.
Gross margin was 39.1 percent. Normalized gross margin was 39.6 percent.
Normalized operating margin of 13.6% was an increase of 40 basis points compared with 13.2% in the prior year. Reported operating margin improved by 120 basis points primarily driven by lower restructuring and restructuring-related costs.
Normalized earnings were $0.94 per diluted share compared with $0.85 per diluted share in the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, normalized diluted earnings per share exclude $0.11 per diluted share for restructuring and restructuring-related costs associated with Project Renewal, $0.03 per diluted share for costs of the recall of harness buckles on select car seats, $0.09 per diluted share resulting from the use of the SICAD I exchange rate for the company's Venezuelan operations, $0.01 per diluted share for the increased cost of products sold for the first turn of Venezuela inventory after the first quarter 2014 devaluation, $0.01 per diluted share of income tax benefits attributable to the resolution of tax contingencies, and net income from discontinued operations of $0.01 per diluted share. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, normalized diluted earnings per share exclude $0.23 per diluted share for restructuring and restructuring-related costs associated with Project Renewal, $0.02 per diluted share resulting from the currency devaluation in Venezuela, $0.02 per diluted share of income tax benefits attributable to the resolution of tax contingencies, and a net loss (including impairments) from discontinued operations of $0.06 per diluted share. (A reconciliation of the "as reported" results to "normalized" results is included below.)
Net income, as reported, was $203.5 million, or $0.72 per diluted share. This compares with $164.0 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, in the prior year.
Operating cash flow was $4.1 million during the first six months of 2014 compared with a use of $59.8 million in the prior year.

2014 Full Year Outlook
Newell Rubbermaid reaffirmed its full year guidance metrics:
Core sales growth of 3 to 4 percent;Normalized operating margin improvement of up to 40 basis points;Normalized EPS of $1.94 to $2.00; andOperating cash flow between $600 and $650 million.The company now expects foreign exchange to have a negative impact of about 150 basis points on 2014 net sales and $0.12 to $0.14 per diluted share on normalized EPS. The impact on reported EPS is expected to be a negative $0.22 to $0.24 per diluted share due to the $0.10 charge included in reported EPS related to the adoption of the SICAD I rate for the company's Venezuelan operations. Subsequent to the first quarter, the company began using the exchange rate determined by periodic auctions for U.S. dollars conducted under Venezuela's SICAD I exchange mechanism (approximately 10.0 to 11.0 Bolivars per U.S. dollar).
The 2014 normalized EPS guidance range excludes between $100 and $120 million of Project Renewal restructuring and restructuring-related charges. (A reconciliation of "expected reported" results to "normalized" results is included below.)
The company is on track to realize cumulative annualized cost savings of $270 to $325 million by the second quarter of 2015 related to Project Renewal. The majority of these savings is expected to be reinvested in the business to strengthen brand building and selling capabilities to accelerate growth.
Operating cash flow guidance assumes $100 to $120 million in restructuring and restructuring-related cash payments. Capital expenditures are projected at $150 to $175 million.
| A reconciliation of the 2014 earnings outlook is as follows: |
|
|
| FY 2014 |
|
| | Diluted earnings per share | $1.50 to $1.56 |
|
| | Restructuring and restructuring-related costs | 0.29 to 0.37 |
|
| | Costs associated with harness buckle recall | 0.03 |
|
| | Currency devaluation -- Venezuela | 0.09 |
|
| | Venezuela inventory turn | 0.01 |
|
| | Resolution of income tax contingencies | (0.01) |
|
| | Income from discontinued operations | (0.01) |
|

Conference Call
The company's second quarter 2014 earnings conference call will be held today, July 31, 2014, at 8:00 a.m. ET. A link to the webcast is provided under Events & Presentations in the Investor Relations section of Newell Rubbermaid's Web site at www.newellrubbermaid.com. The webcast will be available for replay. A supporting slide presentation will be made available in the Investor Relations section on the company's Web site under Quarterly Earnings.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release contains non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and includes a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
The company uses certain financial measures that are included in this press release and the additional financial information both in explaining its results to stockholders and the investment community and in its internal evaluation and management of its businesses. The company's management believes that these measures - including those that are "non-GAAP financial measures" - and the information they provide are useful to investors since these measures (a) permit investors to view the company's performance using the same tools that management uses to evaluate the company's past performance, reportable business segments and prospects for future performance and (b) determine certain elements of management's incentive compensation.
The company's management believes that core sales, as reflected in the Currency Analysis, is useful to investors because it demonstrates the effect of foreign currency on reported sales. The effect of foreign currency on reported sales is determined by applying a fixed exchange rate, calculated as the 12-month average in 2013, to the current and prior year local currency sales amounts, with the difference in these two amounts being the change in core sales and the difference between the change in as reported sales and the change in core sales reported as the currency impact. The company believes that providing adjusted core sales excluding the impacts of product line exits and timing shifts related to implementations of SAP is useful in that it helps investors understand underlying business trends. The company's management believes that "normalized" gross margin, "normalized" SG&A expense, "normalized" operating income and "normalized" tax rates, which exclude restructuring and restructuring-related expenses and one-time events such as costs related to product recalls, the extinguishment of debt, certain tax benefits and charges, impairment charges, discontinued operations and certain other items, are useful because they provide investors with a meaningful perspective on the current underlying performance of the company's core ongoing operations. The company's management believes that "normalized" earnings per share, which also excludes restructuring and restructuring-related charges and one-time events such as losses related to product recalls, asset devaluations resulting from the adoption of the SICAD I Venezuelan Bolivar exchange rate, the extinguishments of debt, tax benefits and charges, impairment charges, discontinued operations and certain other items, is useful to investors because it permits investors to better understand year-over-year changes in underlying operating performance. The company also uses core sales, normalized gross margin and normalized earnings per share as the three performance criteria in its management cash bonus plan.
The company determines the tax effect of the items excluded from normalized diluted earnings per share by applying the estimated effective rate for the applicable jurisdiction in which the pre-tax items were incurred, and for which realization of the resulting tax benefit, if any, is expected.
While the company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the company's performance, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for or superior to the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similar measures presented by other companies.
