"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 |

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.

Announced intention to divest Rubbermaid medical cart business (solutions for optimization of nurse work flow in hospitals) ATLANTA, May 1, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Newell Rubbermaid ( NWL) announced its first quarter 2015 financial results today.
"We've had a strong start to the year with first quarter core sales growth of 4.7 percent and normalized earnings per share growth of 5.9 percent," said Michael Polk, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our Win Bigger businesses of Writing, Commercial Products and Tools grew over seven percent as a result of strong innovation, increased advertising investment and great sales execution. All five global business segments grew core sales, including North American core sales growth of five percent and net sales growth of over eleven percent, our best result in many years.
"The Growth Game Plan is accelerating," continued Polk. "We are creating advantaged brand development and innovation capabilities backed with category leading marketing investment that is transforming Newell Rubbermaid into a growth leader in our industry. These investments have been enabled by our drive to make Newell leaner and more efficient and when coupled with actions to strengthen our portfolio are yielding both growth acceleration and margin expansion. There is more opportunity ahead. Today we announced a new commitment to deliver incremental annualized overhead savings of $150 million by the end of 2017. A significant portion of these incremental savings will be invested back into the business for further growth acceleration with the balance flowing through to earnings. That is the Growth Game Plan into action."
First Quarter 2015 Operating Results
Net sales in the first quarter were $1.26 billion compared with $1.21 billion in the prior year. Core sales grew 4.7 percent, excluding a 490 basis point net contribution from acquisitions and planned divestitures and a 550 basis point negative impact from foreign currency.
Reported gross margin was 38.6 percent, a 100 basis point improvement versus prior year.
Normalized gross margin was 38.8 percent, a 50 basis point improvement versus prior year, as benefits from productivity, commodity deflation and pricing more than offset the negative impacts of foreign currency and mix from acquisitions.
First quarter reported operating margin was 7.8 percent and operating income was $98.2 million, compared with 8.6 percent and $104.7 million, respectively, in the prior year.
Normalized operating margin of 12.1 percent was a 90 basis point improvement compared with the prior year, despite a 50 basis point increase in advertising and promotion. Normalized operating income was $152.6 million compared with $135.4 million in the prior year.
The reported tax rate for the quarter was 27.9 percent compared with a 3.0 percent benefit in the prior year. The normalized tax rate was 27.2 percent compared with 18.3 percent in the prior year.
Normalized net income was $97.0 million, compared with $97.8 million in the prior year. Normalized diluted earnings per share were $0.36, an increase of 5.9 percent versus $0.34 in the prior year. The improvement in normalized diluted earnings per share was attributable to increased core sales, gross margin expansion, contribution from acquisitions and the positive impact of fewer outstanding shares, which more than offset a significant increase in advertising and promotion support, negative foreign currency impacts, a higher tax rate and increased interest expense related to borrowing in support of last year's acquisitions.
Reported diluted earnings per share were $0.20, compared with $0.19 per diluted share in the prior year. Reported net income was $54.1 million, compared with $52.9 million in the prior year. In addition to the factors cited in the explanation of normalized diluted earnings per share, reported diluted earnings per share were negatively impacted by higher incremental restructuring and other project costs of $22.5 million in 2015, and favorably impacted by the absence of a 2014 $38.7 million charge associated with the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar.
Operating cash flow was a use of $154.3 million compared with a use of $92.1 million in the prior year period, as the company made a voluntary $70.0 million contribution to its U.S. pension plan during the first quarter of 2015.
A reconciliation of the "as reported" results to "normalized" results is included in the appendix.
First Quarter 2015 Operating Segment Results
Writing net sales for the first quarter were $341.8 million, a 1.8 percent decline compared to prior year, driven by a negative foreign currency impact of 10.8 percent. Writing core sales increased 9.0 percent, reflecting very strong growth in North America and Latin America attributable to increased advertising and promotion support, excellent innovation and pricing. Normalized operating income was $83.0 million compared with $76.1 million in the prior year. Normalized operating margin was 24.3 percent compared with 21.9 percent in the prior year as a result of pricing, strong productivity and disciplined cost management which more than offset significant negative foreign currency impacts and increased advertising and promotion spending.
Home Solutions net sales were $364.5 million, a 15.2 percent increase compared to the prior year. Core sales increased 0.9 percent, attributable to strong growth in Rubbermaid Food Storage and Decor, partially offset by continued contraction of the lower margin Rubbermaid Consumer Storage business and the absence of prior year new customer pipeline fill on Calphalon. Normalized operating income was $38.6 million versus $26.8 million in the prior year. Normalized operating margin expanded by 210 basis points to 10.6 percent of sales as a result of the positive mix effect of Rubbermaid Food Storage and input cost deflation on resin, partially offset by the impact of negative foreign currency.
Tools net sales were $180.4 million, a 3.9 percent decline compared to the prior year driven by a negative foreign currency impact of 7.1 percent. Core sales grew 3.2 percent reflecting robust growth in North America, EMEA and Latin America attributable to strong innovation, distribution gains on the core portfolio and pricing. Normalized operating income was $22.2 million versus $21.4 million in the prior year. Normalized operating margin was 12.3 percent of sales compared with 11.4 percent of sales in the prior year. The improvement in operating margin was primarily driven by pricing and disciplined overhead management, partially offset by the impact of negative foreign currency.
Commercial Products net sales were $185.2 million, a 1.4 percent increase compared to the prior year. Core sales, which exclude the Rubbermaid medical cart business, increased 9.0 percent attributable to strong innovation, increased marketing support and pricing in North America and Asia. Normalized operating income was $17.6 million compared to $13.8 million in the prior year. Normalized operating margin was 9.5 percent of sales, compared with 7.6 percent of sales in the prior year. The increase in operating margin reflects the benefits of productivity, pricing and input cost deflation on resin, partially offset by an increase in marketing spending and the impact of negative foreign currency.
Baby & Parenting net sales were $192.1 million, a 7.1 percent increase compared to the prior year. Core sales grew 0.8 percent driven by high single digit growth in North America compared with the prior year period, which was impacted by the Graco recall, and the stabilization of the Japanese business, partially offset by softness in Europe. Normalized operating income was $12.3 million compared to $16.4 million in the prior year. Normalized operating margin was 6.4 percent of sales compared with 9.1 percent of sales in the prior year. The decrease in normalized operating margin was due to increased advertising and promotion spending in support of innovation and the impact of negative foreign currency.
Strategic Changes
The company announced its decision to pursue the sale of its Rubbermaid medical cart business. The planned divestiture of this business will further the company's progress toward creating a faster growing, higher margin and more focused portfolio, enabling accelerated performance.
2015 Full Year Outlook
Newell Rubbermaid reiterated its 2015 full year core sales growth and normalized EPS guidance metrics as follows:
| Core sales growth | 3.5% to 4.5% |
|
| | Currency impact | (4.5%) to (5.5%) |
|
| | Impact of acquisitions, net of planned divestitures | 4.0% to 5.0% |
|
| | Net sales growth | 3.0% to 4.0% |
|
| | Normalized EPS | $2.10 to $2.18 |
The company now expects foreign exchange to have a negative impact of about $0.35 to $0.37 per diluted share on normalized EPS in 2015, $0.04 worse than the previous outlook provided, driven by the stronger U.S. dollar to most currencies.
The 2015 normalized EPS guidance range excludes between $100 and $140 million of Project Renewal restructuring and other project costs, discontinued operations and costs associated with the Graco recall. (A reconciliation of "expected reported" results to "normalized" results is included in the appendix.)
Cumulative costs of Project Renewal are expected to be $690 to $725 million pretax, with cash costs of $645 to $675 million. Project Renewal is expected to generate annualized cost savings of approximately $620 to $675 million by the end of 2017. The majority of these savings will be reinvested in new capabilities and incremental brand building investment for accelerated growth in the company's home markets and the geographic deployment of its Win Bigger portfolio into the faster growing emerging markets. The company is currently on track to realize annualized cost savings from the first two phases of Project Renewal of approximately $270 to $325 million by the middle of 2015.
Conference Call
The company's first quarter 2015 earnings conference call will be held today, May 1, 2015, at 8:30 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. A webcast replay and 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 non-GAAP 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 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 provides a more complete understanding of underlying sales trends by providing sales on a consistent basis as it excludes the impacts of acquisitions, planned or completed divestitures and changes in foreign currency from year-over-year comparisons. As reflected in the Currency Analysis, the effect of foreign currency on reported sales is determined by applying a fixed exchange rate, calculated as the 12-month average in the prior year, to the current and prior year local currency sales amounts, with the difference in these two amounts being the impact on core sales related to foreign currency, and the difference between the change in as reported sales and the change in core sales related to foreign currency reported as the currency impact. The company's management believes that "normalized" gross margin, "normalized" SG&A expense, "normalized" operating income, "normalized" earnings per share and "normalized" tax rates, which exclude restructuring and other expenses and one-time and other events such as costs related to product recalls, the extinguishment of debt, certain tax benefits and charges, impairment charges, pension settlement charges, discontinued operations, costs related to the acquisition and integration of acquired businesses, advisory costs for process transformation and optimization initiatives, dedicated personnel costs related to transformation initiatives under Project Renewal, asset devaluations resulting from the adoption and continued use of the SICAD I Venezuelan Bolivar exchange rate 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 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. In certain situations in which an item excluded from normalized results impacts income tax expense, the company uses a "with" and "without" approach to determine normalized income tax expense.
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.

“Our strong second quarter results represent another milestone in our journey to establish Newell’s story of both category leading growth and margin development. Our current growth momentum, our plans for strong innovation and increased brand support in the second half and continued cost benefits from Project Renewal give us the confidence to raise our guidance for full year 2015 core sales growth to 4 to 5 percent and normalized EPS to $2.14 to $2.20, or 7 to 10 percent above prior year.”
Second Quarter 2015 Operating Results
Net sales in the second quarter were $1.56 billion compared with $1.50 billion in the prior year. Core sales grew 5.1 percent, excluding a 480 basis point net contribution from acquisitions and planned divestitures and a 600 basis point negative impact from foreign currency.
Reported gross margin was 39.8 percent, a 20 basis point improvement versus prior year.
Normalized gross margin improved 10 basis points to 40.0 percent, as benefits from productivity and pricing more than offset the negative impacts of foreign currency and mix from acquisitions.
Second quarter reported operating margin was 13.8 percent and operating income was $214.7 million, compared with 14.2 percent and $213.3 million, respectively, in the prior year.
Normalized operating margin was 16.0 percent, flat compared with the prior year despite a 150 basis point increase in advertising and promotion expense. Normalized operating income was $249.4 million compared with $239.7 million in the prior year as the benefits of Project Renewal and other cost savings initiatives more than offset increased investment in advertising and promotion and pressure from foreign exchange.
The reported tax rate for the quarter was 22.7 percent compared with 25.8 percent in the prior year. The normalized tax rate was 24.5 percent compared with 27.2 percent in the prior year.
Normalized net income was $174.5 million compared with $165.5 million in the prior year. Normalized diluted earnings per share were $0.64, an increase of 8.5 percent versus $0.59 in the prior year. The improvement in normalized diluted earnings per share was attributable to increased core sales, contribution from prior year acquisitions, gross margin expansion, a lower tax rate and the positive impact of fewer outstanding shares, which more than offset a significant increase in advertising and promotion support, negative foreign currency impacts and increased interest expense related to borrowing in support of prior year acquisitions.
Reported diluted earnings per share were $0.55, compared with $0.54 per diluted share in the prior year. Reported net income was $148.5 million, compared with $150.6 million in the prior year. In addition to the factors cited in the explanation of normalized diluted earnings per share, reported diluted earnings per share were negatively impacted by higher incremental restructuring and other Project Renewal transformation costs in 2015.
Operating cash flow was $102.5 million compared with $96.2 million in the prior year period.

Second Quarter 2015 Operating Segment Results
Writing net sales for the second quarter were $495.9 million, a 1.3 percent increase compared to prior year, reflecting a 950 basis point impact from negative foreign currency. Writing core sales increased 10.8 percent, reflecting strong growth in Latin America and EMEA attributable to excellent Back-to-School sell-in, pricing, increased distribution, and increased marketing support. In North America, solid Back-To-School sell-in drove good growth despite a comparison to the prior year quarter which included a timing-related benefit of approximately $15.0 million. Normalized operating income was $133.0 million compared with $133.1 million in the prior year. Normalized operating margin was 26.8 percent compared with 27.2 percent in the prior year as a result of negative foreign currency impacts and increased advertising and promotion spending.
Home Solutions net sales were $438.5 million, a 14.4 percent increase compared to the prior year, largely attributable to the contribution from the Contigo and bubba brand acquisitions. Core sales increased 1.2 percent, attributable to growth in Rubbermaid Food Storage, partially offset by continued planned contraction of the lower margin Rubbermaid Consumer Storage business and the absence of prior year new customer pipeline fill on Calphalon. Normalized operating income was $69.9 million versus $48.7 million in the prior year. Normalized operating margin expanded by 320 basis points to 15.9 percent of sales as a result of the positive mix effect from Rubbermaid Food storage, input cost deflation, and strong productivity, partially offset by increased advertising and promotion spending and the impact of negative foreign currency.
Tools net sales were $205.2 million, a 7.7 percent decline compared to the prior year reflecting a 900 basis point impact from negative foreign currency. Core sales grew 1.3 percent in comparison with nearly thirteen percent growth in the prior year. Growth in North America, EMEA and APAC was attributable to innovation, distribution gains on the core portfolio and pricing, while Latin America core sales declined modestly versus the 2014 pipeline fill related to a significant product offering expansion. Normalized operating income was $23.4 million versus $29.9 million in the prior year. Normalized operating margin was 11.4 percent of sales compared with 13.5 percent of sales in the prior year, primarily driven by the impact of negative foreign currency and an increase in advertising and promotion spending, partially offset by pricing and strong productivity.
Commercial Products net sales were $210.6 million, a 5.8 percent decline compared to the prior year. Core sales increased 1.6 percent in comparison with about 10 percent growth in the prior year, driven by innovation and pricing in North America and Asia. Core sales exclude the Rubbermaid medical cart business which the company is currently marketing for divestiture. Normalized operating income was $29.0 million compared with $36.2 million in the prior year. Normalized operating margin was 13.8 percent of sales, compared with 16.2 percent of sales in the prior year, primarily driven by an increase in advertising and promotion spending and the impact of negative foreign currency.
Baby & Parenting net sales were $210.7 million, a 14.7 percent increase compared to the prior year, largely attributable to net sales from the 2014 Baby Jogger acquisition which more than offset a 590 basis point impact from negative foreign currency. Core sales grew 6.0 percent driven by robust growth in North America and double digit innovation-led growth in APAC. Normalized operating income was $16.8 million compared to $12.6 million in the prior year. Normalized operating margin was 8.0 percent of sales compared with 6.9 percent in the prior year.
2015 Full Year Outlook
Newell Rubbermaid announced a positive revision to full year 2015 core sales growth and normalized EPS guidance metrics as follows:
| | | Current Guidance
| | | Previous Guidance
| | Core sales growth | | | 4.0% to 5.0% | | | 3.5% to 4.5% | | Currency impact | | | (5.0%) to (6.0%) | | | (4.5% to 5.5%) | Impact of acquisitions, net of planned divestitures
| | | 4.0% to 5.0% | | | 4.0% to 5.0% | | Net sales growth | | | 3.0% to 4.0% | | | 3.0% to 4.0% | | Normalized EPS | | | $2.14 to $2.20 | | | $2.10 to $2.18 |
The company expects foreign exchange to have a negative impact of about $0.36 to $0.39 per diluted share on normalized EPS in 2015 driven by the stronger U.S. dollar to most currencies.
The 2015 normalized EPS guidance range excludes between $140 and $160 million of Project Renewal restructuring and other Project Renewal transformation costs, discontinued operations, foreign exchange losses and other costs associated with the devaluation of the Venezuelan Bolivar, acquisition and integration costs and costs associated with the Graco recall. A reconciliation of “expected reported” results to “normalized” results is included in the appendix.
Cumulative costs of Project Renewal are expected to be $690 to $725 million pretax, with cash costs of $645 to $675 million. Project Renewal is expected to generate annualized cost savings of approximately $620 to $675 million by the end of 2017. The majority of these savings will be reinvested in new capabilities and incremental brand building investment for accelerated growth in the company’s home markets and the geographic deployment of its Win Bigger portfolio into the faster growing emerging markets.

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 non-GAAP 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 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 provides a more complete understanding of underlying sales trends by providing sales on a consistent basis as it excludes the impacts of acquisitions, planned or completed divestitures and changes in foreign currency from year-over-year comparisons. As reflected in the Currency Analysis, the effect of foreign currency on reported sales is determined by applying a fixed exchange rate, calculated as the 12-month average in the prior year, to the current and prior year local currency sales amounts (excluding acquisitions and planned divestitures), with the difference in these two amounts being the increase or decrease 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’s management believes that “normalized” gross margin, “normalized” SG&A expense, “normalized” operating income, “normalized” earnings per share and “normalized” tax rates, which exclude restructuring and other expenses and one-time and other events such as costs related to product recalls, the extinguishment of debt, certain tax benefits and charges, impairment charges, pension settlement charges, discontinued operations, costs related to the acquisition and integration of acquired businesses, advisory costs for process transformation and optimization initiatives, dedicated personnel costs related to transformation initiatives under Project Renewal, asset devaluations resulting from the adoption and continued use of the SICAD Venezuelan Bolivar exchange rate 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 also uses core sales, normalized gross margin and normalized earnings per share as the three performance criteria in its management cash bonus plan, and the company uses core sales and normalized earnings per share as two of the three performance criteria in its performance-based equity compensation arrangements.
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. In certain situations in which an item excluded from normalized results impacts income tax expense, the company uses a “with” and “without” approach to determine normalized income tax expense.
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.

| From: drmicrocap | 12/7/2015 8:52:01 PM | | | | | | Just in time to make it into the 2015 record books, a couple of big household-products makers may be on the verge of a deal.
Combined Market Value
$24 billion
Newell Rubbermaid and Jarden -- companies with a combined market value of $24 billion -- are in talks to combine, according to a Wall Street Journal report late Monday. The union would put products from Mr. Coffee machines to Rawlings baseballs, PaperMate pens and, of course, Rubbermaid containers all under the same roof.
Shares of Newell Rubbermaid and Jarden closed roughly 7 percent and 4 percent higher, respectively, and although the deal's structure is unclear, it makes sense for Newell Rubbermaid -- the slightly larger of the two, with a market value of almost $13 billion -- to be seeking out its biggest bet yet.
Newell Rubbermaid's shares had climbed 18 percent this year before news of the deal on Monday. Last week, it surpassed the $45 mark, a feat it hadn't achieved since the middle of 1999.

So perhaps it's no surprise that, buoyed by the company's best price in more than 15 years, Newell Rubbermaid CEO Michael Polk is thinking big despite what he's previously guided.
At a Morgan Stanley conference three weeks ago, Polk said the company's priority was to make bolt-on M&A acquisitions, similar to those it had done in the past. He outlined about $5.5 billion of capacity over the next few years for deals, buybacks and an increased dividend.
For his own part, Jarden CEO James Lillie said in April that company "would consider selling all of Jarden" if the right bidder came along.
Jarden certainly wouldn't be a bolt-on acquisition: it'd be at least double the company's $6 billion acquisition of Rubbermaid in 1999, its biggest deal so far. But buying Jarden would give it a more diverse stable of brands, including Coleman coolers, Bicycle playing cards and the recently added Waddington food containers and Jostens class rings and yearbooks.
And even though Newell Rubbermaid is the bigger of the two companies, Jarden actually brings in more revenue. Helped by its biggest year for acquisitions yet and a projected 16 percent pop in revenue next year, Jarden is on track for more than $10 billion in sales in 2016 versus a projected $6.1 billion for Newell Rubbermaid.
All of that potential comes at a price. Back in August, investors pushed Jarden's enterprise value to a record 22 times trailing Ebitda. While foreign exchange headwinds and pressures on its Brazilian business have since driven the stock down, Jarden is still pricier than most big U.S. household products companies.
Going Up

Even so, as long as Newell Rubbermaid pays at least 30 percent in cash, a deal should be accretive to 2016 earnings per share at a 30 percent premium to Jarden's unaffected stock price -- before accounting for synergies, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That may be as good a reason as any for another record to fall.
