Full Year Operating Cash Flow of over $425 million

RYE, N.Y., February 15, 2012—Jarden Corporation (NYSE:JAH) today reported its financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2011, net sales increased 3% to $1.74 billion compared to $1.68 billion for the same period in the previous year. For the quarter ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded net income of $21.1 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to net income of $46.7 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, for the same period in 2010, a decrease of $0.28 per diluted share or 54%. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 was $84.4 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, compared to $76.6 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, for the same period in 2010, an increase of $0.10 per diluted share or 12%.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, net sales increased 11% to $6.7 billion compared to $6.0 billion for the same period in the previous year. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded net income of $205 million, or $2.31 per diluted share, compared to net income of $107 million, or $1.19 per diluted share, for the same period in 2010, an increase of $1.12 per diluted share or 94%. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted net income for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $304 million, or $3.43 per diluted share, compared to $260 million, or $2.90 per diluted share, for the same period in 2010, an increase of $0.53 per diluted share or 18%. The year ended December 31, 2010 includes the results from the Mapa Spontex acquisition since April 1, 2010.

“Jarden delivered record revenues, segment earnings and adjusted earnings per share, to culminate what has been a decade of outstanding performance,” said Martin E. Franklin, Executive Chairman. “Jarden’s success is based on the dedication of our employees as well as our passion for developing innovative, new products to provide consumers with the value and experience they expect from our authentic, iconic brands. As Jarden enters its second decade, we look forward to working hard to produce continued consistent, profitable long-term growth and compelling returns for our shareholders in the future. ”

James E. Lillie, Chief Executive Officer commented, “The organic sales and point-of-sale performance our businesses achieved during the quarter and for the year speaks to the on-going resilience of Jarden and to the benefit of having a broad range of seasonal staple products consumers and retailers continually demand. Coming out of the recession, Jarden has achieved organic net sales growth of over 3% on a trailing twelve month basis for six consecutive quarters in an extremely difficult economic and unpredictable weather environment. The increase of 94% and 18% in diluted EPS and as adjusted diluted EPS respectively for 2011 underscores how our top line growth can be leveraged to produce exceptional bottom line performance. We believe our businesses are well positioned to build on this positive momentum in 2012 as we drive toward our goal of $5.00 adjusted earnings per share by the end of 2014.”

Please see the schedule accompanying this release for a reconciliation of non-GAAP segment earnings, adjusted net income, adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share and organic net sales growth to the comparable GAAP measures.

Note 2: Organic net sales growth is a non-GAAP measure of net sales growth excluding the impacts of foreign exchange, significant acquisitions, and exited business from year-over-year comparisons. The Company believes this measure provides investors with a more complete understanding of the underlying sales trends by providing net sales on a consistent basis. Organic net sales growth is also one of the measures used by management to analyze operating performance. The following table provides a reconciliation of organic net sales growth to the comparable GAAP measure of net sales growth for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011:

Note 3: This earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures that may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. For purposes of Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’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 statements of income, balance sheets, or statements of cash flows of the Company; 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. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures are provided because management of the Company uses these financial measures in maintaining and evaluating the Company’s ongoing financial results and trends. Management uses this non-GAAP information as an indicator of business performance, and evaluates overall management with respect to such indicators. Additionally, the Company uses non-GAAP financial measures because the Company’s credit agreement provides for certain adjustments in calculations used for determining whether the Company is in compliance with certain credit agreement covenants, including, but not limited to, adjustments relating to non-cash purchase accounting adjustments, non-cash impairment charge of goodwill, intangibles and other assets, certain reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs, transaction and integration costs, non-cash Venezuela hyperinflationary and devaluation charges, gains and losses as a result of currency fluctuations, gain on the sale of the domestic business, non-cash stock-based compensation costs, loss on early extinguishment of debt, and other items. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
