99.1 Press Release, dated October 30, 2003,
issued by Newell Rubbermaid Inc., and
Additional Financial Information
Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
The information in this Report, including the Exhibit attached hereto,
is furnished pursuant to Item 12 of this Form 8-K. Consequently, it
is not deemed "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that
section. It may only be incorporated by reference in another filing
under the Exchange Act or Securities Act of 1933 if such subsequent
filing specifically references this Form 8-K.
On October 30, 2003, Newell Rubbermaid Inc. (the "Company") reported
its results for the third fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2003.
The Company's press release, dated October 30, 2003, is attached as
Exhibit 99.1
The press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. For purposes
of SEC Regulation G, a "non-GAAP financial measure" is a numerical
measure of a registrant's 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 statement of income, balance
sheet or statement of cash flows of the issuer; 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. Operating and statistical measures and
certain ratios and other statistical measures are not non-GAAP
financial measures. For purposes of the definition, GAAP refers to
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has
provided, as a part of the press release, a reconciliation of each of
the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measure. (For certain other statistical measures that are
not non-GAAP financial measures, the Company has provided other
supplemental information, also as part of the press release.)
The Company has used the financial measures that are included in the
press release for several years, both in presenting 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 because they permit investors to view the Company's
performance using the same tools that Company management uses and to
gauge the Company's progress in achieving its stated goals.
The Company's management believes that the individual measures are
also useful to investors for more specific reasons:
Operating income, net income and gross margin, excluding
restructuring and other charges, as a percentage of sales. -- These
measures are also useful to investors because they provide information
with respect to operating income, net income and gross margin related
to continuing operations after the restructuring plan is completed.
Free cash flow: Cash flow provided by operations, net of
dividends and capital expenditures. -- This measure is also useful to
investors because it is an indication of amounts of cash flow that may
be available for further investment in future growth initiatives.
Diluted earnings per share, excluding restructuring and other
charges. -- This measure is also useful to investors because it
provides information with respect to earnings per share, both
historical and expected, related to continuing operations after the
restructuring plan is completed.
The other purpose for which the Company uses free cash flow and
earnings per share, excluding restructuring and other charges, is as
two of the performance goals that help determine the amount, if any,
of cash bonuses for corporate management employees under the Company's
management cash bonus plan.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its
behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.

* NARROWS 2003 GUIDANCE AND INTRODUCES
2004 GUIDANCE
ATLANTA, OCTOBER 30, 2003 - Newell www.newellrubbermaid.com
Rubbermaid Inc. (NYSE: NWL) today announced
its third quarter earnings in line with
guidance established in the second quarter.
Sales were $1.9 billion, flat with third
quarter sales from 2002.
THIRD QUARTER RESULTS DAVID HONAN
Net income in the quarter was $75.2 Vice President, Investor
million, or $0.27 per share in 2003, Relations
compared to $76.2 million, or $0.29 per 6833 Stalter Drive
share in the third quarter of 2002. Rockford, IL 61108
Excluding charges, net income in the third Phone: 815-381-8150
quarter was $109.4 million, versus $122.9
million in 2002. Diluted earnings per
share, calculated on the same basis, DEAN WERNER
declined 13.0% to $0.40 in the quarter, Director, Corp.
versus $0.46 in 2002 due primarily to sales Communications
softness and the gross margin impact from 6833 Stalter Drive
reducing inventory levels, partially offset Rockford, IL 61108
by streamlining savings. A reconciliation Phone: 770-670-2215
of the results "as reported" to results
"excluding charges" is attached to this
press release.
Free cash flow improved significantly to $162.6 million in the
quarter, reflecting the company's commitment to reduce working
capital. Inventories declined $94 million in the third quarter
from June 30, 2003. The company defines free cash flow as
cash generated from operations, net of capital expenditures and
dividends.
"We delivered strong cash flow during the quarter as we were able to
reduce inventory beyond our initial expectations, despite sales
softness. We have also made meaningful progress in restructuring and
product line rationalization as we aggressively reconfigure our
1
business portfolio," said Newell Rubbermaid CEO Joseph Galli. "We
made this progress while delivering third quarter results within our
guidance and we continue to be on track to transform the company into
a strong financial performer long term."
"We look to complete our restructuring program and the bulk of our
rationalization of our business portfolio in 2004, allowing us to
allocate capital and resources into those businesses with the
potential to generate the highest returns on investment," Galli added.
Internal sales, which exclude the impact of acquisitions and
divestitures, decreased by 2.2% primarily due to a 2.5% sales decline
from the continued planned exit from high-risk customers and 2.1%
pricing declines, partially offset by a 2.4% benefit from foreign
currency translation.
Sales declined in the picture frames and low-end cookware businesses
(parts of the Calphalon Home Group) due to continued pricing pressures
previously discussed by the company in its second quarter results.
Also, the Sharpie Group reported continued softness in the commercial
writing instruments channel as commercial purchasers of office products
continued to scale back on spending.
The Irwin and Lenox hand tool and power tool accessories businesses
delivered another strong quarter with a double-digit increase in global
sales. This sales momentum was the direct result of new-product sales
and strong marketing geared toward end users.
Gross margins for the third quarter decreased to 26.9% from 28.2% due
primarily to unfavorable pricing and lower manufacturing volumes as
production was slowed to reduce inventory levels.
Operating income was $145.5 million, or 7.5% of sales, in the third
quarter of 2003 versus $157.4 million, or 8.1% of sales, in the same
period of 2002. The decline was primarily from lower gross margins
explained above, partially offset by a decrease in selling, general
and administrative expenses related to the company's streamlining
initiatives. Excluding charges, operating income was $196.0 million,
or 10.1% of sales, versus $216.9 million, or 11.1% of sales, in 2002.
As part of its previously announced restructuring plan, the company
recorded third quarter pre-tax restructuring charges of $48.4 million
and other related charges of $2.1 million primarily for product line
exits. During the quarter the company exited four facilities in
connection with the movement of production to lower cost countries,
and to date under the plan, 73 facilities have been exited.
NINE-MONTH RESULTS
Net sales for the first nine months of 2003 were a record $5.7
billion, up 4.0% from $5.4 billion for the first nine months of 2002.
2
Internal sales declined 0.9%. The planned exit of high-risk
customers reduced internal sales by 2.7%, pricing declines reduced
sales by 1.9%, while foreign currency translation favorably impacted
sales by 2.9% for the first nine months.
Net income for the first nine months of 2003 was $165.0 million, or
$0.60 per share in 2003, compared to a net loss of $299.2 million, or
$1.12 loss per share in 2002. Excluding charges, net income for the
first nine months of 2003 increased 2.2% to $297.2 million versus
$290.9 million in 2002. Diluted earnings per share, calculated on the
same basis, declined 0.3% to $1.08 in the first nine months of 2003
versus $1.09 in 2002.
NEW PRODUCT LAUNCHES OF NOTE
* The Sharpie Group will launch twelve significant new products
during the fourth quarter of 2003, headlined by Sharpie{R} gold
and copper metallic ink markers to write on dark surfaces and
the Sharpie{R} Professional Marking Tool, which has a unique
ink formulation that writes on oily and wet surfaces. Other
new products in the fourth quarter include new EXPO{R} Grip dry
erase markers, Accent{R} retractable highlighters, and Parker{R}
and Sensa{R} fine writing pen gift sets.
* Calphalon is preparing to roll out Calphalon One Infused Anodized
cookware at the end of the fourth quarter. This revolutionary
cooking surface combines the benefits of a hard-anodized aluminum
surface for searing and deglazing with the benefit of a non-stick
surface for release and clean up. The development of this
patented technology is a direct result of consumer feedback on
cookware limitations.
* During the fourth quarter Irwin launched the Irwin Quick Adjusting
Pipe Wrench, which offers a one handed-adjusting feature in a
lightweight design. The Strait-line laser tape was also launched
in the quarter. This product uses an electronic laser to measure,
calculate, and store distance, area, volume and material needs.
Additionally, Irwin introduced a heavy-duty line of tool storage
designed for power tools, hand tools and related accessories for
jobsite storage.
PENSION OUTLOOK
The company estimates that it will record a fourth quarter non-cash
charge to shareholders equity in the range of $110 - $130 million to
record the under-funded status of the pension plan. This charge will
not impact earnings or cash flow in 2003.
FULL YEAR 2003 OUTLOOK
For the full year 2003, the company narrowed its previously issued
guidance of diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $1.60 to
$1.63, excluding restructuring charges of $216 -$226 million, and
other charges related to product line exit costs of $40 - $50 million.
The company now expects full year sales to be flat to down 1%.
A reconciliation of the 2003 earnings outlook is as follows:
3
4th Quarter Full Year
----------- ---------
Diluted earnings per share $0.32 - $0.40 $0.92 - $1.00
Excluding:
Restructuring charges $0.12 - $0.14 $0.53 - $0.56
Product line exits, acquisitions,
divestiture charges $0.02 - $0.05 $0.10 - $0.12
------------- -------------
Diluted earnings per share, excluding $0.51 - $0.54 $1.60 - $1.63
charges ------------- -------------
The company also reiterated free cash flow guidance of $200 to $250
million for the year. Expected free cash flow is calculated as follows:
cash flow from operations (estimated to be $730 - $780 million), less capital
expenditures (estimated to be approximately $300 million), less expected
dividends of approximately $230 million.
FULL YEAR 2004 OUTLOOK
The company expects that 2004 will be a year in which the majority of
the reconfiguration of its business portfolio will be completed. The
focus for 2004 will be the completion of the company's previously
announced restructuring plan, divesting non-core businesses,
rationalizing unprofitable product lines and reallocating capital and
resources into businesses with high return on investment. These factors
translate into a preliminary diluted earnings per share estimate of
$1.60 to $1.68, excluding charges to complete our restructuring plan
of $72 to $82 million ($0.18 - $0.20 per share). This guidance does not
include the impact of any divestitures.
