Forward Looking Statements & Other Legal Matters

Certain matters discussed in this presentation, with the exception of historical matters, may be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause results to differ materially from those anticipated as of the date of this presentation. Actual results may differ materially as a result of (1) Spectrum Brands’ ability to manage and otherwise comply with its covenants with respect to its significant outstanding indebtedness, (2) Spectrum Brands’ ability to identify, develop and retain key employees, (3) risks that changes and developments in external competitive market factors, such as introduction of new product features or technological developments, development of new competitors or competitive brands or competitive promotional activity or spending, (4) changes in consumer demand for the various types of products Spectrum Brands offers, (5) unfavorable developments in the global credit markets, (6) the impact of overall economic conditions on consumer spending, (7) fluctuations in commodities prices, the costs or availability of raw materials or terms and conditions available from suppliers, (8) changes in the general economic conditions in countries and regions where Spectrum Brands does business, such as stock market prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates, inflation and consumer spending, (9) Spectrum Brands’ ability to successfully implement manufacturing, distribution and other cost efficiencies and to continue to benefit from its cost-cutting initiatives, (10) the ability of Spectrum Brands to complete the proposed business combination with Russell Hobbs, and (11) unfavorable weather conditions and various other risks and uncertainties, including those discussed herein and those set forth in Spectrum Brands’ securities filings, including the most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Spectrum Brands also cautions the reader that its estimates of trends, market share, retail consumption of its products and reasons for changes in such consumption are based solely on limited data available to Spectrum Brands and management’s reasonable assumptions about market conditions, and consequently may be inaccurate, or may not reflect significant segments of the retail market. Spectrum Brands also cautions the reader that undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this presentation. Spectrum Brands undertakes no duty or responsibility to update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this presentation or to reflect actual outcomes.

In addition, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements: the failure of Spectrum Brands stockholders and Russell Hobbs stockholders to approve this the proposed business combination; the risk that the businesses will not be integrated successfully; the risk that synergies will not be realized; the risk that required consents will not be obtained; the risk that the combined company following the proposed business combination will not realize on its financing strategy; the risk of litigation in respect of either company or the proposed business combination; and disruption from the proposed business combination making it more difficult to maintain certain strategic relationships. Additional factors that may affect future results and conditions are described in Spectrum Brands’ filings with the SEC, which are available at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov or at Spectrum Brands’ website at www.spectrumbrands.com.

The following slides contain summaries of certain financial and statistical information about Spectrum Brands and Russell Hobbs. The information contained in this presentation is summary information that is intended to be considered in the context of Spectrum Brands’ and Russell Hobbs’ SEC filings, if any, and other public announcements that they may make, by press release or otherwise, from time to time. In addition, information related to past performance, while helpful as an evaluative tool, is not necessarily indicative of future results, the achievement of which cannot be assured. You should not view the past performance of Spectrum Brands or Russell Hobbs, or information about the market, as indicative of Spectrum Brands’ or Russell Hobbs’ future results or the potential future results of the combined company following consummation of the proposed business combination. Further, performance information respecting investment returns on portfolio transactions is not directly equivalent to returns on an investment in Spectrum Brands’ or Russell Hobbs’ common stock.

This presentation is not a solicitation of a proxy from any stockholders of Spectrum Brands or Russell Hobbs or an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of Spectrum Brands or Russell Hobbs. The following slides contain information in respect of each of Spectrum Brands and Russell Hobbs. Neither company makes any representation as to the accuracy of the other company’s information. Although the companies signed a merger agreement as previously reported and filed with the SEC, the companies remain independent as of the date hereof.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASUREMENTS

 

Management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in certain instances to provide additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Excluding the impact of current exchange rate fluctuations may provide additional meaningful reflection of underlying business trends. In addition, within this presentation, including the tables that follow, reference is made to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and free cash flow.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by management and frequently used by the financial community which provides insight into an organization’s operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies, because interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA can also be a useful measure of a company’s ability to service debt and is one of the measures used for determining the Company’s debt covenant compliance. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items that are unusual in nature or not comparable from period to period.

 

In addition, the Spectrum Brands’ management uses adjusted diluted earnings per share as one means of analyzing the Spectrum Brands’ current and future financial performance and identifying trends in its financial condition and results of operations. Management believes that adjusted diluted earnings per share is a useful measure for providing further insight into Spectrum Brands’ operating performance because it eliminates the effects of certain items that are not comparable from one period to the next.

 

Also, management believes that free cash flow is useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the Spectrum Brands’ ability to service and repay its debt and meet its working capital requirements. Free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for pretax income (loss), net income (loss), cash provided by (used in) operating activities or other statement of operations or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. In addition, the calculation of free cash flow does not reflect cash used to service debt and therefore, does not reflect funds available for investment or discretionary uses.

 

Spectrum Brands provides this information to investors to assist in comparisons of past, present and future operating results and to assist in highlighting the results of on-going operations. While Spectrum Brands’ management believes that non-GAAP measurements are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace the Spectrum Brands’ GAAP financial results and should be read in conjunction with those GAAP results.

(a)   It is the Company’s policy to record Income tax expense (benefit), and interest expense on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, such amounts are not reflected in the operating results of the operating segments.

 

(b)   Adjustment reflects accelerated restricted stock amortization associated with the Global Realignment restructuring initiatives. Inasmuch as this amount is included within Restructuring and related charges, this adjustment negates the impact of reflecting the add back of amortization.
