FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JARDEN REPORTS RECORD 2007 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
RYE, N.Y., April 25, 2007 — Jarden Corporation (NYSE: JAH) today reported its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, net sales increased 4% to $821 million compared to $792 million for the same period in the prior year. Net income was $1.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared to $5.7 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2006. On a non-GAAP basis, as adjusted net income was $21.4 million, or $0.30 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, an increase of 25% per diluted share, compared to $16.1 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2006. Please see the schedule accompanying this release for the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share.
Martin E. Franklin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented; “Our strong positive momentum continued from 2006 into the first quarter, as demonstrated by the growth in sales and segment earnings reported today, as well as a significant improvement in year over year cash flow from operations. Our strategy of building a world class, market leading, diversified consumer products company based on our people, products and brands continues to yield results. While we performed well across the entire company, I am particularly pleased with the expansion of gross margins as demonstrated by the 100 basis point improvement this quarter compared to the same period in 2006.”
Mr. Franklin continued, “The healthy momentum in our segments, despite continued pressure in supply chain costs and concerns about the consumer, continued through the quarter. While it is still early in the year, this forward progress coupled with the recent acquisition of Pure Fishing positions us well for the balance of the year, and I believe that we are on track to achieve our long-term financial goals.”

Note 2: This earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures.
