             99.1     Press Release, dated July 31, 2003, issued by Newell
                      Rubbermaid Inc., and Additional Financial Information


   ITEM 9.   REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE (ALSO BEING PROVIDED UNDER NEW ITEM
             12.  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION).

   The information in this Report, including the Exhibit attached hereto,
   is furnished pursuant to Item 9 and 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 July 31, 2003, Newell Rubbermaid Inc. (the "Company") reported its
   results for the second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2003.  The
   Company's press release, dated July 31, 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

                                      2



   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.

        Operating profit from internal growth:  Change in operating
   profit attributable to net sales growth of businesses the Company has
   owned longer than one year, including minor acquisitions and
   divestitures.  -- This measure also assists investors in understanding
   the extent to which changes in comparable operating profit is
   attributable to Company operations that have been owned longer than a
   year.

        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.

                   NEWELL RUBBERMAID SETS SECOND QUARTER
                    REVENUE RECORD OF $2 BILLION, UP 4%


             *   EARNINGS IN LINE WITH CONSENSUS
             *   ADOPTS MORE CONSERVATIVE FULL YEAR OUTLOOK


   ATLANTA, July 31, 2003 - Newell Rubbermaid Inc. (NYSE: NWL) today
   announced its second quarter results, reporting record sales of
   $1,976.1 million, an increase of 4.3% compared to the second quarter
   of 2002.  Total sales improved due to the Lenox{R} hand tool and power
   tool accessory acquisition (formerly American Saw) in addition to 0.3%
   internal sales growth in businesses owned more than a year.

   SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

   Net income in the quarter was $73.8 million, or $0.27 per share in
   2003, compared to $88.6 million, or $0.33 per share in the second
   quarter of 2002.  Excluding charges, net income increased 10% to
   $114.5 million in the quarter, versus $104.0 million in 2002. Diluted
   earnings per share, calculated on the same basis, increased 8% to
   $0.42 in the quarter, versus $0.39 in 2002.  A reconciliation of the
   results "as reported" to results "excluding charges" is attached to
   this press release.

   "We are pleased to deliver solid quarterly results and we remain
   committed to investing in our long-term growth strategies, despite the
   short-term pressures we face.  This was a challenging quarter for
   Newell Rubbermaid because of our planned exit from business with high-
   risk customers and from certain low-margin product lines, in addition
   to the added pressure from retailer inventory reductions." said Joseph
   Galli, Newell Rubbermaid's chief executive officer.

   Mr. Galli added: "We continue to see significant progress from our
   strategies in the Sharpie and Irwin groups, but the progress is slower
   than we would like for some of our other businesses because of retailer
   inventory reductions, pricing pressure on opening price point products
   and the resources required to complete our restructuring projects.
   For those reasons we have been compelled to look more conservatively
   at our earnings guidance for the remainder of this year.  Our
   fundamental strategies are sound, and looking further forward we are
   confident of the success we're seeing from our investment in high-
   growth, high-margin products and brands."

   Internal sales growth, which excludes the impact of material
   acquisitions and divestitures made in the past year, increased 0.3%.
   The planned exit from high-risk customers reduced internal sales by
   2.9% in the quarter, while foreign currency translation favorably
   impacted sales by 3.3%.  Strong Power Brand sales were reported in the




   quarter from the Calphalon{R} brand (up 22%), the Sharpie{R} brand (up
   20%), and IRWIN{R} hand tools and power tool accessories (up 10%).
   These increases were principally from increased investment in TV
   advertising, the Phoenix in-store merchandising program, new product
   introductions and account review wins over the past year.  Sales for
   Levolor{R} window furnishings, a part of the Irwin group declined
   double-digit due primarily to planned exits from low margin product
   lines.  Additionally, sales for the U.S. picture frames business, part
   of the Caphalon Home group, also declined double-digit due primarily
   to the exit from high-risk customers and pricing pressures on opening
   price point products.

   The company added that cost savings of $25 million in the quarter and
   the 2003 Lenox acquisition contributed to the expansion of gross margins
   to 27.8% in 2003 versus 27.5% in 2002.  Excluding charges, gross margins
   improved to 27.9% in 2003 versus 27.5% in 2002.

   Operating income was $140.5 million, or 7.1% of sales, in 2003 versus
   $181.7 million, or 9.6% of sales, in 2002.  The decline was primarily
   from increased restructuring charges.  Excluding charges, operating
   income increased 5% to $200.7 million, or 10.2% of sales, versus
   $191.5 million, or 10.1% of sales, in 2002.

   As part of its previously announced restructuring plan, the company
   recorded second quarter pre-tax restructuring charges of $57.9 million
   and other restructuring related charges of $2.3 million.  During the
   quarter the company exited seven facilities in connection with the
   movement of production to lower cost facilities and countries.  To
   date, 69 facilities have been exited under the plan.

   In the quarter, the company consumed free cash flow of $52 million
   versus generating $55 million in the second quarter of 2002.  The
   company defines free cash flow as cash generated from operations, net
   of capital expenditures and dividends.  The company pointed to
   increased strategic investments in capital for new product development
   and productivity initiatives, increased cash restructuring charges and
   increased inventory levels as the primary factors for the decrease in
   free cash flow.  The increased inventory levels were the result of
   increased safety stock levels related to restructuring programs and
   new product launches, and the impact of retailer inventory reductions.
   A reconciliation of free cash flow to cash flow provided by operating
   activities is attached to this press release.

   SIX-MONTH RESULTS
   -----------------

   Net sales for the first six months of 2003 were a record $3.7 billion,
   up 6.3% from $3.5 billion for the first six months of 2002.  Internal
   sales growth, which excludes the impact of material acquisitions and
   divestitures made in the past year, declined 0.2%.   The planned exit
   of high-risk customers reduced internal sales by 2.8%, while foreign




   currency translation favorably impacted sales by 3.1% for the first
   six months.

   Net income for the first six months of 2003 was $89.8 million, or
   $0.33 per share in 2003, compared to a net loss of $375.4 million, or
   $1.40 loss per share in 2002.  Excluding charges, net income for the
   first six months of 2003 increased 12% to $188.0 million versus $167.9
   million in 2002.  Diluted earnings per share, calculated on the same
   basis, increased 10% to $0.69 in the first six months of 2002 versus
   $0.63 in 2002.

   In the first six months of 2003, the company recorded a pre-tax
   restructuring charge of $117.6 million and other divestiture and
   restructuring related charges of $27.8 million.

   OTHER ITEMS OF NOTE FROM THE QUARTER
   ------------------------------------

        *    The integration of Lenox is ahead of plan and is
             substantially complete.  Sales in the second quarter were up
             6% over the prior year when Newell Rubbermaid did not own
             the company.
        *    The Rubbermaid{R} Tough Tools{TM} launch is underway and
             initial results are promising.  The Tough Tools collection
             was designed for and provides solutions to the most common
             household projects.  It features stylish, high-quality hand
             tools with ergonomic rubberized grips for do-it-yourselfers.
        *    The Calphalon Culinary Center, Toronto, opened its doors in
             June 2003.  This is the second cooking school launched by
             Calphalon, following the success of the Chicago center.
             These cooking schools are part of the company's focus on
             grass roots marketing through the integration of Calphalon
             products into demonstration and hands-on cooking classes.

   OUTLOOK
   -------

   For the third quarter of 2003, the company expects diluted earnings
   per share of $0.40 - $0.44, excluding restructuring charges of $30
   - $50 million, and other non-recurring charges related to product
   line exit costs of $4 - $6 million.

   For the full year 2003, the company has revised and narrowed its
   previously stated $1.77 - $1.87 diluted earnings per share guidance to
   $1.60 - $1.68, excluding restructuring charges of $190 - $210
   million, and other charges related to product line exit costs of $40
   - $50 million.  The Company now expects full year 2003 internal sales
   growth to be between zero and two percent.




   The revised guidance is due primarily to softer than expected sales
   outlook for the Company's picture frame businesses, pricing pressure
   on opening price point business and retailer inventory reductions.
   Additionally, the company is increasing its investment in its
   previously announced restructuring plan to $460-$480 million
   from its previous guidance of $350 million.  Approximately $40
   million of the restructuring increase is due to currency translation
   from projects completed or in the process of being completed in Europe,
   for which currencies have strengthened against the US dollar.  The
   remainder of the increased investment is related to additional high-
   return projects for the American Tool acquisition and supply chain
   streamlining projects identified since the plan was established in
   2001.  The company still expects to complete charges related to the
   restructuring plan by June 2004.

   A RECONCILIATION OF THE 2003 EARNINGS OUTLOOK IS AS FOLLOWS:

                                           3rd Quarter       Full Year
                                           -----------       ---------

   Diluted earnings per share             $0.26 - $0.36    $0.96 - $1.11
   Excluding:
     Restructuring charges                $0.07 - $0.12    $0.47 - $0.52
     Product line exits, acquisition,
       divestiture charges                $0.01 - $0.02    $0.10 - $0.12
   Diluted earnings per share,
     excluding charges                    $0.40 - $0.44    $1.60 - $1.68



   Free cash flow for the full year is now expected to be $200 to $250
   million for the year.  Expected free cash flow is calculated as
   follows:  cash flow from operations (estimated to be $750 - $800
   million), less capital expenditures (estimated to be approximately
   $325 million), less expected dividends of approximately $230 million.
