        Spectrum Brands, Inc. Announces Second Quarter Financial Results

    ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 2, 2006--Spectrum Brands, Inc.
(NYSE: SPC), a global consumer products company with a diverse
portfolio of world-class brands, announced diluted earnings per share
of one cent and pro forma diluted earnings per share of three cents
for its fiscal second quarter ended April 2, 2006, in line with
analysts' mean estimates as reported by First Call.
    For comparison purposes, the company estimates that the prior
year's pro forma diluted earnings per share would have been 42 cents
when adjusted to include the impact of all 2005 and 2006 acquisitions
and divestitures for the full fiscal year. See Table 4,
"Reconciliation of GAAP to As Adjusted Financial Data," for further
detail.
    "We are disappointed by the results from our North American and
European battery businesses this quarter, where a decrease in sales
volume and high raw material costs, particularly zinc, resulted in
significant underperformance to our expectations," said Spectrum
Brands Chairman and CEO Dave Jones. "However, we are encouraged by
this quarter's good performance from our specialty pet and Remington
product portfolios. Our lawn and garden business is poised for a solid
performance in the upcoming selling season with consumer purchases at
retail up ten percent, although inventory management initiatives by
some of our largest retail customers had a negative impact on Q2 lawn
and garden sales."
    "With a challenging second quarter behind us, we are now moving
forward with a renewed focus on organic sales growth, aggressive cost
management and debt reduction. Through the various restructuring
activities we have previously announced, we are committed to
aggressively pursuing cost management initiatives throughout our
organization designed to achieve $150 million in annual cost savings
by the end of fiscal 2007. At the same time, we are increasing our
focus on sales growth and investing in our brands through new product
development and increased advertising."
    Financial results for the quarter ended April 2, 2006 include
results from United Industries, acquired on February 7, 2005, Tetra
Holding GmbH, acquired on April 29, 2005, and Jungle Labs, acquired on
September 1, 2005. Financial results for periods prior to the
acquisition dates exclude United, Tetra and Jungle. On January 25,
2006 Spectrum Brands divested its Canadian fertilizer technology and
professional products businesses. As a result of this sale the company
has reported the second quarter results of these businesses as
discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of
operations for both 2006 and 2005.
    Pro forma diluted EPS and other pro forma results referenced in
this release exclude the impact of certain items detailed in the
attached Table 3, "Reconciliation of GAAP to Pro Forma Financial
Data," and Table 5, "Reconciliation of GAAP to Pro Forma EPS
Guidance." In addition, the company has provided certain information
to assist investors in better understanding the seasonality of its
ongoing business. This information, a representation of fiscal 2005
quarterly results adjusted to include the acquisitions of United,
Tetra and Jungle Labs, and the divestiture of the Canadian fertilizer
technology and professional products businesses, can be found on the
company's website. A summary of this information for the second
quarter of fiscal 2005 is provided in the attached Table 4,
"Reconciliation of GAAP to As Adjusted Financial Data."

    Second Quarter Results

    Spectrum Brands' second quarter net sales were $625.1 million, as
compared to $521.0 million for the same period last year. Revenue
contribution from acquisitions was $118.6 million. Unfavorable
currency translation impacted sales by a net $6.9 million. When
compared to management's estimates of fiscal year 2005 revenue
adjusted to include all acquisitions and dispositions for the full
period, net sales declined by four percentage points.
    Gross profit for the quarter was $233.7 million versus $185.6
million for the same period last year. Cost of goods sold during the
quarter included $0.4 million in restructuring and related charges,
and 2005 second quarter results included a $27.7 million inventory
valuation charge associated with the United acquisition. Excluding
these charges, gross profit margin for the second quarter was 37.5
percent versus 40.9 percent for the same period last year. The decline
in gross margin percentage resulted primarily from lower sales in the
global battery business and increased raw material costs. Management's
estimate of gross profit in fiscal year 2005's second quarter, when
adjusted to include all acquisitions and dispositions, is $269.9, or
41.4 percent of net sales.
    Operating income was $38.7 million versus fiscal 2005's second
quarter operating income of $33.1 million. Operating expenses in 2006
included restructuring and related charges of $6.1 million primarily
related to the integration of United and rationalization of the
company's European sales and marketing organization. In 2005 operating
expenses included $0.2 million in restructuring and related charges
resulting from the United acquisition. Pro forma operating income for
the second quarter was $44.9 million, or 7.2 percent of sales,
compared to $61.0 million, or 11.7 percent of sales last year.
Management's estimate of operating income in fiscal year 2005's second
quarter, when adjusted to include all acquisitions and dispositions,
is $70.1, or 10.7 percent of net sales.
    Second quarter interest expense was $42.9 million as compared to
$39.0 million last year. Total debt at April 2, 2006 was $2.3 billion.
The company generated approximately $100 million in cash proceeds
during the quarter from the divestiture of the Canadian fertilizer
technology and professional products businesses and sale of other
assets.

    Second Quarter Segment Results

    North American net sales were $315.8 million compared with $280.6
million reported last year. When 2005 results are adjusted to include
all acquisitions and divestitures for the full year, net sales show a
year over year decline of three percent. Battery and lighting sales
declined 20 percent as recovery of alkaline battery sales under the
company's new "Performance Guaranteed" marketing program was slower
than anticipated and retail inventory reductions on the part of
several large customers negatively impacted sales. Remington branded
product sales improved by 23%, as the company grew market share in all
categories, including men's and women's shaving and grooming and
personal care. Although consumer purchases of Spectrum Brands lawn and
garden products at retail showed positive growth of ten percent during
the second quarter, reported lawn and garden sales declined one
percent versus year ago standalone results for United Industries as a
result of retail customers' inventory reduction programs. North
American segment profits were $39.4 million versus $33.7 million
reported last year.
    European/ROW net sales were $117.2 million versus $144.3 million
reported last year, including $9.8 million of negative currency
impact. An unfavorable product mix shift from branded to private label
battery sales and from higher margin specialty retail distribution
channels to lower margin food and mass channels was the primary driver
of a 17 percent local currency sales decline in batteries and
lighting. Sales of Remington products grew by 13 percent in local
currency, a result of strong penetration gains in continental Europe.
Segment profitability for the quarter was $6.6 million compared with
$19.4 million last year, primarily attributable to lower sales volume
and higher raw material costs.
    In Latin America, net sales increased to $54.3 million as compared
to $49.6 million in the second quarter last year. Sales growth was
driven by favorable currency of $3.4 million, combined with the
successful introduction of Remington branded products in this region
and modest growth in battery sales. Latin American segment
profitability of $3.3 million compares to last year's $3.6 million,
attributable to rising commodity prices and higher selling and
marketing expenses.
    In 2006, Spectrum Brands created the Global Pet segment, a new
business segment for reporting purposes, comprising United Pet Group,
Tetra and Jungle Labs, all of which were acquired during 2005. The
Global Pet segment contributed net sales of $137.8 million and segment
profits of $21.6 million during the second quarter. This compares to
segment revenues of $132.8 million and segment profits of $20.6
million in the second fiscal quarter of last year when adjusted to
include acquisitions for the full quarter. Excluding unfavorable
currency translation of $2.5 million, Global Pet revenues increased
six percent compared with last year's standalone adjusted results as
the company continued to generate strong growth in companion pet sales
and saw a return to growth in its aquatics business.
    Corporate expenses were $25.7 million, or 4.1 percent of net
sales, as compared to $23.3 million, or 4.5 percent of net sales, in
the prior year period. Increased research and development expense and
expansion of the Asian global operations support infrastructure were
partially offset by lower corporate compensation expense.
    Based on its second quarter results, Spectrum Brands has notified
its lenders that the company is not in compliance with certain debt
covenants required under its senior credit facility, and has entered
into discussions with its lenders to address possible remedies. The
company anticipates no problems with liquidity or ongoing cash
generation and will update investors when discussions are completed.

    Financial Outlook

    Looking to the second half of fiscal 2006, the company expects
continuing challenges in the European battery market, gradually
improving battery results in North America, and low to mid single
digit sales growth from its shaving, grooming, personal care, lawn and
garden and specialty pet categories. Commodity costs are projected to
remain at current high levels for the balance of the year. Taking into
account these and other assumptions, the company's latest forecast for
fiscal year 2006 results indicates net sales of approximately $2.6
billion and pro forma fully diluted earnings per share of between
$0.90 and $1.00. See Table 5, "Reconciliation of GAAP to Pro Forma
Earnings Guidance."

    Webcast Information

    Spectrum Brands management will discuss second quarter financial
results in a live webcast on Tuesday, May 2, at 8:30 a.m. EDT.
Interested investors and others can access this webcast through the
company's website, www.spectrumbrands.com.

    Non-GAAP Measurements

    Throughout this release, references are made to pro forma gross
profit, pro forma operating income, pro forma net income and pro forma
diluted EPS. See attached Table 3, "Reconciliation of GAAP to Pro
Forma Financial Data," for a complete reconciliation of gross profit,
operating income, net income and diluted EPS on a GAAP basis to pro
forma gross profit, pro forma operating income, pro forma net income
and pro forma diluted EPS. The company also maintains a reconciliation
of GAAP financial reporting to pro forma results in the Investor
Relations section of its website, which may be found at
www.spectrumbrands.com.
    Spectrum Brands management and some investors use pro forma
results of operations as one means of analyzing the company's current
and future financial performance and identifying trends in its
financial condition and results of operations. Spectrum Brands
provides pro forma information to investors to assist in meaningful
comparisons of past, present and future operating results and to
assist in highlighting the results of on-going core operations. While
management believes these pro forma results provide useful
supplemental information, pro forma results are not intended to
replace the company's GAAP financial results and should be read in
conjunction with those GAAP results.
