Fourth Quarter 2010 Highlights

• Reported sales up 6%; sales volume increases 5%

• Reported operating income up 29%

• Earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.09, or $0.25 using a normalized effective tax rate of 30%, which compares to $0.21 in the prior year

LINCOLNSHIRE, ILLINOIS, February 9, 2011 – ACCO Brands Corporation (NYSE: ABD), a world leader in select categories of branded office products, today reported its fourth quarter and full year results for the year ended December 31, 2010.

“I continue to be pleased with our progress,” said Robert J. Keller, chairman and chief executive officer. “We grew sales, expanded our margins, improved profitability and positioned ourselves for further growth in 2011, all while facing economic headwinds, rising commodity costs and the challenge of normalizing compensation.”

Fourth Quarter Results

Net sales increased 6% to $372.5 million, compared to $352.8 million in the prior-year quarter. Volume increased 5% with growth in all business segments. Fourth quarter income from continuing operations was $5.4 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to $2.9 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter; current-year results are taxed at a 73.3% effective rate. Using a normalized effective tax rate of 30% and excluding $5.6 million of restructuring and other charges in the prior-year quarter, adjusted earnings from continuing operations were $14.1 million, or $0.25 per share, compared to $12.0 million, or $0.21 per share in the prior-year period.

Reported fourth quarter operating income increased to $35.9 million, from a reported $27.9 million or adjusted $33.5 million in the prior-year quarter. On an adjusted basis, the increase was 7%, which was achieved despite higher commodity costs and Sales, General and Administrative (SG&A) costs. SG&A increased 80 basis points in the quarter, primarily driven by $6.7 million of higher management incentive expense. EBITDA increased 8% to $50.0 million, from adjusted EBITDA of $46.2 million in the prior year, and included a benefit from foreign currency translation of $1.5 million.

Business Segment Highlights

ACCO Brands Americas

ACCO Brands Americas fourth quarter net sales increased 3% to $181.7 million, from $176.3 million in the prior-year quarter. Volume grew 2% driven by increased demand from improved customer penetration and new products. Foreign currency translation impacted sales favorably by 1%.

ACCO Brands Americas reported fourth quarter operating income of $17.1 million, compared to a reported $10.7 million or adjusted $12.9 million in the prior-year quarter. Operating income increased 33% compared to the prior-year adjusted results, and operating margin increased to 9.4% from 7.3%. Compared to the prior-year adjusted results, operating margin benefited from lower freight and distribution costs, other process efficiencies and improved sales mix, which more than offset higher commodity costs and increased salary, benefit and incentive compensation costs.

ACCO Brands International

ACCO Brands International net sales increased 7% to $139.9 million, compared to $130.6 million in the prior-year quarter. Volume grew 7% due to new products and share gains, partially offset by lower pricing.

ACCO Brands International reported operating income of $13.9 million, compared to a reported $14.8 million or adjusted $17.1 million in the prior-year quarter. Operating income decreased 19% compared to prior-year adjusted results, and operating margin declined to 9.9% from 13.1% primarily due to higher costs and an adverse sales mix, principally in Europe.

Computer Products Group

Computer Products net sales increased 11% to $50.9 million, compared to $45.9 million in the prior-year quarter. Volume grew 11% due to new products and growth in most markets. Foreign currency translation had a negative 2% impact on sales.

Computer Products reported operating income of $11.6 million, compared to a reported $8.9 million or adjusted $9.2 million in the prior-year quarter. Operating income increased 26% compared to prior-year adjusted results, and margin expanded to 22.8% from 20.0%. The improvement in margin was primarily due to favorable sales mix, partially offset by higher marketing expenditures and incentive compensation costs.

Full Year Results

For the year, net sales increased 5% to $1.33 billion, compared to $1.27 billion in the prior-year period. Volume grew 4% with growth in all business segments. Foreign currency translation impacted sales favorably by 2%. The company reported income from continuing operations of $11.5 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the twelve months ending December 31, 2010, compared to a loss of $115.8 million, or $2.13 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. Prior-year results included net after-tax charges totaling $141.9 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 were $0.53, compared to $0.47 in the prior-year period.

2

Operating income was $115.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, compared to a reported $79.8 million or adjusted $103.6 million in the prior-year period. EBITDA increased 9% to $164.0 million, from an adjusted EBITDA of $150.0 million in the prior year, and included an $8.9 million comparative benefit from foreign exchange. The current year results also include $26.8 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. The company generated $40 million in free cash flow during the year, and ended the year with a cash balance of $83 million.

Business Outlook

The company anticipates that 2011 will continue to be challenging due to uncertainty around consumer and business spending. However, the company expects sales to increase between 2-4% before the effects of foreign currency.

In the first half of 2011, the company anticipates incurring $6-9 million of cash costs related to the rationalization of its European operations, with savings largely realized in the second half of 2011. The first quarter will be most impacted by these costs.

Based on expected improvements in gross margin, which will be partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, the company expects to grow diluted earnings per share between 20% and 30% on a normalized tax rate basis.

Targeted free cash flow, after interest, taxes and capital expenditures, is 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 has not incurred any material 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.

(A) Certain charges are excluded in order to provide a comparison of underlying results of operations, including restructuring charges, and certain non-recurring income tax items related to adjustments impacting the Company’s effective tax rate. In addition, certain other charges that have been recorded within cost of products sold and advertising, selling, general and administrative expenses in the prior-year period did not qualify as restructuring. These charges included 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 exited facilities and employee retention incentives. The Company has not incurred 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.
