Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

The information in this Item 2.02, and the Exhibit attached to this Report, are furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of Form 8-K. Consequently, such items are 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. Such items 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 July 30, 2009, Newell Rubbermaid Inc. (the “Company”) reported its results for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009. The Company’s press release, dated July 30, 2009, and Additional Financial Information, is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

The press release and Additional Financial Information contain non-GAAP financial measures. For purposes of Securities and Exchange Commission 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 and Additional Financial Information, a reconciliation of each of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

The Company has used certain financial measures that are included in the press release and Additional Financial Information 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 since these measures:

 

   

enable investors and analysts to compare the current non-GAAP measures with the corresponding non-GAAP measures used in the past, and

 

   

permit investors to view the Company’s performance using the same tools that Company management uses to evaluate the Company’s past performance, reportable business segments and prospects for future performance and to gauge the Company’s progress in achieving its stated goals.

The Company’s management believes that operating income, excluding restructuring charges, as well as “Normalized” earnings and earnings per share are also useful because they provide investors with a meaningful perspective on the current underlying performance of the Company’s continuing operations. The Company’s management believes that free cash flow, defined by the Company as cash generated from operations less capital expenditures, is useful to investors because it is an indication of amounts of cash flow that may be available for dividends, repayment of debt and further investment in future growth initiatives. The Company’s management believes that adjusted sales, as reflected in the Currency Analysis included in Exhibit 99.1, is useful to investors because it demonstrates the effect of foreign currency translation on reported sales. The Company’s management believes that “Normalized” earnings per share, which excludes restructuring charges and one-time events such as tax benefits and certain other charges, is useful to investors because it permits investors to better understand year-over-year changes in underlying operating performance. Another purpose for which the Company uses “Normalized” earnings per share and free cash flow is as performance goals that help determine the amount, if any, of cash bonuses for corporate management employees under the Company’s management cash bonus plan.


Table of Contents

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.

 

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

Newell Rubbermaid Reports Second Quarter 2009 Results

Normalized EPS of $0.47 Ahead of Guidance, Full Year EPS Outlook Raised

Gross Margins Improve 300 Basis Points to Last Year

Strong Operating Cash Flow, Full Year Cash Flow Outlook Raised

ATLANTA, July 30, 2009 – Newell Rubbermaid (NYSE: NWL) today announced second quarter 2009 financial results that exceeded the company’s guidance. The company reported strong operating cash flow and gross margin improvement and raised its guidance for full year 2009 normalized earnings and operating cash flow.

“Although business conditions remained challenging during the quarter, we were pleased and encouraged to deliver second quarter earnings and cash flow ahead of expectations,” said Mark Ketchum, president and chief executive officer of Newell Rubbermaid. “I’m particularly pleased with the improvement in gross margin, reflecting the benefits from our planned product exits as well as a more reasonable input cost environment compared with a year ago. We continued to actively manage our cost base and generated strong operating cash flow through a diligent focus on working capital management. Our success in managing what we can control through the first half of 2009 gives us confidence to judiciously increase our level of strategic SG&A investments in the second half of the year, supporting our brands with focused marketing spending and other strategic brand building activities, while still raising our guidance for full year normalized EPS and operating cash flow.”

Net sales declined 17.6 percent to $1.50 billion in the second quarter, compared to $1.83 billion in the prior year. The reported sales results are more favorable than the guidance of a 20 percent decline. Core sales were down approximately 8 percent, while planned product line exits and foreign currency translation reduced net sales by 6 percent and 4 percent, respectively.

Gross margin for the quarter was 37.1 percent, up 300 basis points from last year, as the positive impact from product line exits, lower input costs and 2008 pricing initiatives more than offset the effects of reduced manufacturing volumes and unfavorable mix.

Excluding Project Acceleration restructuring costs of $29.5 million in 2009 and $69.4 million in 2008, operating income was $229.0 million, or 15.2 percent of sales, in the second quarter 2009, compared to $230.3 million, or 12.6 percent of sales, in the prior year.

Normalized earnings, which exclude Project Acceleration restructuring costs, related impairment charges and associated tax effects, and other items, were $0.47 per diluted share, ahead of the company’s guidance and compared to $0.49 per diluted share in the second quarter 2008. Other items in the second quarter 2009 include dilution of $0.01 per diluted share related to the conversion feature of the convertible notes issued in March 2009 and one-time costs of $0.01 per diluted share incurred for the early retirement of $325 million principal amount of medium-term notes. (A reconciliation of the “as reported” results to “normalized” results is included below.)

Net income, as reported on a GAAP basis, was $105.7 million, or $0.37 per diluted share. This compares to $92.5 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in the second quarter 2008.

The company generated operating cash flow of $99.2 million during the second quarter, driven by working capital management, compared to $1.9 million in the prior year. Capital expenditures were $38.3 million in the second quarter, approximately flat to last year.

A reconciliation of the second quarter 2009 and last year’s results is as follows:

 

     Q2 2009    Q2 2008

Diluted earnings per share (as reported):

   $ 0.37    $ 0.33

Project Acceleration restructuring costs and related impairment charges

   $ 0.08    $ 0.16

Six Months Results

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009 declined 16.9 percent to $2.71 billion, compared to $3.26 billion in the prior year. Internal sales, which exclude the effect of significant acquisitions, declined 18.5 percent for the six months. Foreign currency translation reduced net sales by 4 percent, while planned product line exits lowered net sales by 5 percent. Core sales softness contributed the remainder of the net sales decline.

Gross margin was 36.2 percent, a 200 basis point improvement versus the prior year. The positive impact from planned product line exits, lower input costs and 2008 pricing actions more than offset the effect of reduced production volumes and unfavorable mix.

Normalized earnings, which exclude Project Acceleration restructuring costs, related impairment charges and associated tax effects, and other items, were $0.67 per diluted share, compared to the prior year’s results of $0.75 per diluted share. Other items in the first six months of 2009 were the same as those for the second quarter 2009. (A reconciliation of the “as reported” results to “normalized” results is included below.)

Net income, as reported on a GAAP basis, was $139.4 million, or $0.49 per diluted share. This compares to $149.4 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, in the prior year.

The company generated operating cash flow of $88.0 million during the first six months of 2009, compared to a use of $121.3 million in the prior year. Capital expenditures were $70.7 million, compared to $78.2 million in the prior year.

2009 Full Year Guidance

The company expects net sales for the full year will decline at the unfavorable end of the company’s guidance of down 10 to 15 percent. The company continues to expect a 4 to 6 percent sales decline from product line exits and now expects a 2 to 3 percent sales decline from foreign currency translation. Acquisitions are expected to contribute about 1 percent of sales growth. Core sales are expected to decline in the high single digit percent range.

The company is raising its guidance for normalized earnings to $1.15 to $1.30 per diluted share and is also raising its guidance for operating cash flow to approximately $500 million, which is net of approximately $100 million in restructuring cash payments.

2009 Third Quarter Guidance

The company anticipates net sales will decline in the high teens percent range for the third quarter 2009. Product line exits are projected to reduce sales by 6 to 8 percent, and foreign currency translation is expected to reduce sales by 2 to 4 percent. Core sales are expected to decline in the high single digit percent range.

The company expects normalized earnings of $0.25 to $0.35 per diluted share and operating cash flow of between $200 and $250 million.

Statements in this presentation that are not historical in nature constitute forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements relate to information or assumptions about the effects of sales, income/(loss), earnings
per share, operating income or gross margin improvements or declines, Project Acceleration, capital and other
expenditures, cash flow, dividends, restructuring costs, costs and cost savings, inflation, particularly with respect to
commodities such as oil and resin, debt ratings, and management's plans, projections and objectives for future
operations and performance. These statements are accompanied by words such as "anticipate," "expect,"
"project," "will," "believe," "estimate" and similar expressions. Actual results could differ materially from those
expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, our dependence
on the strength of retail, commercial and industrial sectors of the economy in light of the global economic
slowdown; currency fluctuations; competition with other manufacturers and distributors of consumer products;
major retailers' strong bargaining power; changes in the prices of raw materials and sourced products and our
ability
to
obtain
raw
materials
and
sourced
products
in
a
timely
manner
from
suppliers;
our
ability
to
develop
innovative new products and to develop, maintain and strengthen our end-user brands; our ability to expeditiously
close facilities and move operations while managing foreign regulations and other impediments; our ability to
