SECOND QUARTER 2010 RESULTS

Second Quarter 2010 Highlights

• Reported sales up 4%; sales volume increases 5%

• Reported operating income up 139%

• Earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.09

• Reiterates 2010 guidance

LINCOLNSHIRE, ILLINOIS, July 28, 2010 – ACCO Brands Corporation (NYSE: ABD), a world leader in select categories of branded office products, today reported its second quarter and six month results for the period ended June 30, 2010.

“Despite headwinds in the macroeconomic environment, we delivered our third consecutive quarter of profit growth and our second consecutive quarter of top-line improvement,” said Robert J. Keller, chairman and chief executive officer. “In addition, sales volume increased 5%, driven by growth in all business segments, which is a reflection of our improved customer relations and our focus on category management.”

Second Quarter Results

Net sales increased 4% to $316.5 million, compared to $303.8 million in the prior-year quarter. Volume increased 5% with growth in all business segments. Foreign currency translation contributed 2% to sales growth. Second quarter income from continuing operations was $5.2 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $116.7 million, or $2.14 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. Prior-year results included net after-tax charges of $123.1 million. Using a normalized effective tax rate of 30% for the current year and excluding charges in the prior-year quarter, adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.09, compared to an adjusted $0.11 per share in the prior-year quarter; the decline is due to increased interest expense in the current-year quarter. The company’s reported effective tax rate for the quarter was 29.7%, lower than expected, and is primarily due to a favorable $2.8 million out-of-period adjustment related to prior years’ deferred income taxes.

Reported second quarter operating income was $26.3 million, compared to a reported $11.0 million or adjusted $23.0 million in the prior-year quarter. EBITDA increased 11% to $38.0 million, from adjusted EBITDA of $34.1 million in the prior year, and included a benefit from foreign currency translation of $1.5 million. The current year results also include $9.6 million of additional salary, management incentive and employee benefits expense, primarily as a result of temporary salary, management incentive and benefit reductions in the U.S. in the prior year.

Business Segment Highlights

ACCO Brands Americas

ACCO Brands Americas second quarter net sales increased 5% to $169.9 million, from $162.0 million in the prior-year quarter. Volume grew 5% driven by increased demand, improved customer penetration and new products. Foreign currency translation contributed 2% to the sales growth.

ACCO Brands Americas reported second quarter operating income of $14.4 million, compared to a reported $5.6 million or adjusted $9.7 million in the prior-year quarter. Operating income increased 48% compared to the prior-year adjusted results, and operating margin expanded to 8.5% from 6.0%. The increase in adjusted operating income margin was principally due to favorable product costs, partially offset by $6.6 million of higher salary, management incentive and benefit costs, whereas the prior year benefited from temporary reductions of compensation costs in the U.S.

ACCO Brands International

ACCO Brands International net sales increased 2% to $104.5 million, compared to $102.7 million in the prior-year quarter. Volume grew 3% due to new products and share gains, partially offset by lower European demand. Foreign currency translation contributed 2% to the sales growth.

ACCO Brands International reported operating income of $6.2 million, compared to a reported $1.2 million or adjusted $7.8 million in the prior-year quarter. Operating income decreased 21% compared to prior-year adjusted results, and operating margin declined to 5.9% from 7.6% primarily due to increased investment in new product development costs.

Computer Products Group

Computer Products net sales increased 8% to $42.1 million, compared to $39.1 million in the prior-year quarter. Volume grew 7% as a result of strong sales of security products and growth in all markets except Europe.

Computer Products reported operating income of $10.7 million, compared to a reported $7.9 million or adjusted $9.2 million in the prior-year quarter. Operating income increased 16% compared to prior-year adjusted results, and margin expanded to 25.4% from 23.5%. The improvement in margin was primarily due to favorable product mix, partially offset by $1.2 million of higher salary, management incentive and benefit expenses, whereas the prior year benefited from temporary salary, management incentive and benefit reductions in the U.S.

Six Month Results

Net sales increased 5% to $627.3 million, compared to $597.2 million in the prior-year period. Volume grew 2% with growth in all business segments. Foreign currency translation contributed 5% to sales growth. The company reported income from continuing operations of $0.7 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to a loss of $120.4 million, or $2.21 per diluted share, in

the prior-year period. Prior-year results included net after-tax charges totaling $125.8 million. Using a normalized effective tax rate of 30% for the current year and excluding charges in the prior-year period, adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.12, compared to $0.10 in the prior-year period, and increased despite higher interest expense in the current year. The company’s reported effective tax rate for the period was 92.8% as a result of certain geographic losses for which the company is unable to record a deferred tax benefit, partially offset by a favorable $2.8 million out-of-period adjustment related to prior years’ deferred income taxes.

The company reported operating income of $47.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to a reported $24.4 million or adjusted $39.8 million in the prior-year period. EBITDA increased 16% to $71.1 million, from an adjusted EBITDA of $61.3 million in the prior year, and included the benefit from foreign exchange translation of $6.0 million. The current year results also include $18.7 million of additional salary, management incentive and employee benefits expense, whereas the prior year benefited from temporary salary, management incentive and benefit reductions in the U.S.

Business Outlook

The company reiterated its 2010 outlook, continuing to expect sales to be flat to up 2%, driven by share gains, which are expected to offset continued weak consumer and business spending. The company continues to expect to expand adjusted EBITDA margins by three-quarters to a full percentage point due to an improvement in gross profit margin, which will be partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. The business outlook does not take into consideration any impact of foreign currency fluctuations. Targeted free cash flow, after interest, taxes and capital expenditures, is still expected to be approximately $50-60 million.

Webcast

At 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time today, ACCO Brands Corporation will host a conference call to discuss the company’s results. The call will be broadcast live via webcast. The webcast can be accessed through the Investor Relations section ofwww.accobrands.com. The webcast will be in listen-only mode and will be available for replay for one month following the event.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

“Adjusted” results exclude all restructuring, goodwill and asset impairment charges and unusual tax items. In addition, “adjusted” results also exclude certain other charges recorded in the prior-year period that did not qualify as restructuring and include redundant warehousing or storage costs during the transition to a new distribution center, equipment and other asset move costs, facility overhead and maintenance costs after exit, gains on the sale of the exited facilities and employee retention incentives. Adjusted supplemental EBITDA from continuing operations excludes restructuring, goodwill and asset impairment charges, and other non-operating items, including other income/expense and stock-based compensation expense. In addition, certain other charges recorded in the prior-year period that did not qualify as restructuring (as described above) are also excluded. The company does not anticipate incurring restructuring and integration charges in 2010. Adjusted results and supplemental EBITDA from continuing operations are non-GAAP measures. There could be limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as compared to the use of the most directly comparable GAAP

financial measure. Management uses the adjusted measures to determine the returns generated by its operating segments and to evaluate and identify cost-reduction initiatives. Management believes these measures provide investors with helpful supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of the company from year to year. These measures may be inconsistent with measures presented by other companies.

The Company does not anticipate incurring restructuring and integration charges in 2010.

(B) The Company has incurred significant operating losses in several jurisdictions in prior periods. In accordance with GAAP, tax valuation allowances have been recorded on certain of the Company’s deferred tax assets. As a result, the operating results in these locations have recorded no tax benefit or expense, which results in a high effective tax rate for the current period. Assuming all the locations become profitable in the future and valuation allowances were reversed, the Company’s ongoing effective tax rate would approximate 30%. This estimated long-term rate will be subject to variations from the mix of earnings in the Company’s operating jurisdictions.

(C) During the second quarter of 2009, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $108.1 million to establish a valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets.
