NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in millions, except per share data and unless otherwise indicated)

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Jarden Corporation and its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as the “Company” or “Jarden”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, normal and recurring and necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2011 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. Certain reclassifications have been made in the Company’s financial statements of the prior year to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on previously reported net income.

Supplemental Information

Stock-based compensation costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”), were $19.1 and $15.6 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Interest expense is net of interest income of $1.7 and $1.2 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

New Accounting Guidance

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 enhances disclosures regarding financial instruments and derivative instruments and requires companies to provide both net information and gross information for these assets and liabilities in order to enhance comparability between those companies that prepare their financial statements in accordance with GAAP and those companies that prepare their financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods. Since ASU 2011-11 requires only additional disclosures, the adoption of ASU 2011-11 will not affect the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Adoption of New Accounting Guidance

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 requires companies to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The provisions of ASU 2011-05 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Since ASU 2011-05 amends the disclosure requirements concerning comprehensive income, the adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not affect the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. In December 2011, the FASB deferred indefinitely certain provisions of ASU 2011-05 that would require companies to present reclassification adjustments by component in both the statement where net income is presented and the statement where other comprehensive income is presented for both interim and annual financial statements.

In February 2012, the Company entered into an amendment and borrowed $300 under its senior secured credit facility (the “Facility”), which is comprised of $150 under the existing senior secured term loan A facility that matures in March 2016 and bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread of 225 basis points; and $150 under the existing senior secured term loan B facility that matures in January 2017 and bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread of 300 basis points. The proceeds were used, in part, to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the Company’s accelerated stock repurchase program (see Note 10).

In February 2012, the Company entered into an amendment to its securitization facility that, in part, increased maximum borrowings from $300 to $400 and extended the maturity date from May 2014 until February 2015. Following the renewal, the borrowing rate margin is 0.90% and the unused line fee is 0.45% per annum.

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the carrying value of total debt approximates fair market value. The fair value of the Company’s debt is considered either a Level 1 or Level 2 measurement depending on the debt instrument.

7. Derivative and Other Hedging Financial Instruments

Interest Rate Contracts

The Company manages its fixed and floating rate debt mix using interest rate swaps. The Company uses fixed and floating rate swaps to alter its exposure to the impact of changing interest rates on its consolidated results of operations and future cash outflows for interest. Floating rate swaps are used, depending on market conditions, to convert the fixed rates of long-term debt into short-term variable rates. Fixed rate swaps are used to reduce the Company’s risk of the possibility of increased interest costs. Interest rate swap contracts are therefore used by the Company to separate interest rate risk management from the debt funding decision.

Cash Flow Hedges

At March 31, 2012, the Company had $750 notional amount outstanding in swap agreements, which include $350 notional amount of forward-starting swaps that become effective commencing December 31, 2013, that exchange variable rates of interest (LIBOR) for

fixed interest rates over the terms of the agreements and are designated as cash flow hedges of the interest rate risk attributable to forecasted variable interest payments and have maturity dates through December 2015. At March 31, 2012, the weighted average fixed rate of interest on these swaps, excluding the forward-starting swap, was approximately 1.6%. The effective portion of the after-tax fair value gains or losses on these swaps is included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”).

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

The Company uses foreign currency contracts to mitigate the foreign currency exchange rate exposure on the cash flows related to forecasted inventory purchases and sales and have maturity dates through January 2014. The derivatives used to hedge these forecasted transactions that meet the criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of the gains or losses on these derivatives is deferred as a component of AOCI and is recognized in earnings at the same time that the hedged item affects earnings and is included in the same caption in the statements of operations as the underlying hedged item. At March 31, 2012, the Company had approximately $476 notional amount of foreign currency contracts outstanding that are designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted inventory purchases and sales.

At March 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding approximately $162 notional amount of foreign currency contracts that are not designated as effective hedges for accounting purposes and have maturity dates through January 2013. Fair market value gains or losses are included in the results of operations and are classified in SG&A.

Commodity Contracts

The Company enters into commodity-based derivatives in order to mitigate the risk that the rising price of these commodities could have on the cost of certain of the Company’s raw materials. These commodity-based derivatives provide the Company with cost certainty, and in certain instances, allow the Company to benefit should the cost of the commodity fall below certain dollar thresholds. At March 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding approximately $13 notional amount of commodity-based derivatives that are not designated as effective hedges for accounting purposes and have maturity dates through March 2014. Fair market value gains or losses are included in the results of operations and are classified in SG&A.

The following table presents the fair value of derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

Net Investment Hedge

The Company designated its Euro-denominated 7¹/2% senior subordinated notes due 2020, with an aggregate principal balance of €150 (the “Hedging Instrument”), as a net investment hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in certain Euro-denominated subsidiaries. Foreign currency gains and losses on the Hedging Instrument are included as a component of AOCI. At March 31, 2012, $8.9 of deferred losses have been recorded in AOCI.

Derivative assets and liabilities relate to interest rate swaps, foreign currency contracts and commodity contracts. Fair values are determined by the Company using market prices obtained from independent brokers or determined using valuation models that use as their basis readily observable market data that is actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including independent pricing services, brokers and market transactions. Available-for-sale securities include inflation protected bonds and are valued based on quoted market prices.

9. Contingencies

The Company is involved in various legal disputes and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company or certain of its subsidiaries have been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) or a state environmental agency as a Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”) pursuant to the federal Superfund Act and/or state Superfund laws comparable to the federal law at various sites. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that the disposition of any of the legal or environmental disputes the Company or its subsidiaries are currently involved in will have a material adverse effect upon the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. It is possible that, as additional information becomes available, the impact on the Company of an adverse determination could have a different effect.

Environmental

The Company’s operations are subject to certain federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations in addition to laws and regulations regarding labeling and packaging of products and the sales of products containing certain environmentally sensitive materials.

In addition to ongoing environmental compliance at its operations, the Company also is actively engaged in environmental remediation activities, the majority of which relates to divested operations and sites. Various of the Company’s subsidiaries have been identified by the EPA or a state environmental agency as a PRP pursuant to the federal Superfund Act and/or state Superfund laws comparable to the federal law at various sites (collectively, the “Environmental Sites”). The Company has established reserves to cover the anticipated probable costs of investigation and remediation based upon periodic reviews of all sites for which they have, or may have, remediation responsibility. The Company accrues environmental investigation and remediation costs when it is probable that a liability has been incurred, the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated and their responsibility for the liability is established. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of a formal commitment to an investigation plan, completion of a feasibility study or a commitment to a formal plan of action. The Company accrues its best estimate of investigation and remediation costs based upon facts known at such dates, and because of the inherent difficulties in estimating the ultimate amount of environmental costs, which are further described below, these estimates may materially change in the future as a result of the uncertainties described below. Estimated costs, which are based upon experience with similar sites and technical evaluations, are judgmental in nature and are recorded at discounted amounts without considering the impact of inflation and are adjusted periodically to reflect changes in applicable laws or regulations, changes in available technologies and receipt by the Company of new information. It is difficult to estimate the ultimate level of future environmental expenditures due to a number of uncertainties surrounding environmental liabilities. These uncertainties include the applicability of laws and regulations, changes in environmental remediation requirements, the enactment of additional regulations, uncertainties surrounding remediation procedures including the development of new technology, the identification of new sites for which various of the Company’s subsidiaries could be a PRP, information relating to the exact nature and extent of the contamination at each Environmental Site and the extent of required cleanup efforts, the uncertainties with respect to the ultimate outcome of issues which may be actively contested and the varying costs of alternative remediation strategies.

Due to the uncertainty described above, the Company’s ultimate future liability with respect to sites at which remediation has not been completed may vary from the amounts reserved as of March 31, 2012.

The Company believes that the costs of completing environmental remediation of all sites for which the Company has a remediation responsibility have been adequately reserved and that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Litigation

The Company and/or its subsidiaries are involved in various lawsuits arising from time to time that the Company considers ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business. Amounts accrued for litigation matters represent the anticipated costs (damages and/or settlement amounts) in connection with pending litigation and claims and related anticipated legal fees for defending such actions. The costs are accrued when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The accruals are based upon the Company’s assessment, after consultation with counsel (if deemed appropriate), of probable loss based on the facts and circumstances of each case, the legal issues involved, the nature of the claim made, the nature of the damages sought and any relevant information about the plaintiffs and other significant factors that vary by case. When it is not possible to estimate a specific expected cost to be incurred, the Company evaluates the range of probable loss and records the minimum end of the range. The Company believes that anticipated probable costs of litigation matters have been adequately reserved to the extent determinable. Based on current information, the Company believes that the ultimate conclusion of the various pending litigation of the Company, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Product Liability

As a consumer goods manufacturer and distributor, the Company and/or its subsidiaries face the risk of product liability and related lawsuits involving claims for substantial money damages, product recall actions and higher than anticipated rates of warranty returns or other returns of goods.

The Company and/or its subsidiaries are therefore party to various personal injury and property damage lawsuits relating to their products and incidental to their business. Annually, the Company sets its product liability insurance program which is an occurrence-based program based on the Company and its subsidiaries’ current and historical claims experience and the availability and cost of insurance. The Company’s product liability insurance program generally includes a self-insurance retention per occurrence.

Cumulative amounts estimated to be payable by the Company with respect to pending and potential claims for all years in which the Company is liable under its self-insurance retention have been accrued as liabilities. Such accrued liabilities are based on estimates (which include actuarial determinations made by an independent actuarial consultant as to liability exposure, taking into account prior experience, number of claims and other relevant factors); thus, the Company’s ultimate liability may exceed or be less than the amounts accrued. The methods of making such estimates and establishing the resulting liability are reviewed on a regular basis and any adjustments resulting therefrom are reflected in current operating results.

Based on current information, the Company believes that the ultimate conclusion of the various pending product liability claims and lawsuits of the Company, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

10. Stockholders’ Equity

In January 2012, the Company commenced a “modified Dutch auction” self-tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase up to $500 in value of its common stock. In March 2012, pursuant to the terms of the Offer, the Company repurchased approximately 12.1 million shares of its common stock for a total purchase price of approximately $435 or $36.00 per share. The repurchase of shares of common stock under the Offer was made pursuant to the Company’s existing stock repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $500 aggregate amount of outstanding shares of common stock at prevailing market prices or in privately-negotiated transactions.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company repurchased approximately 12.1 million and 0.7 million shares, respectively, of its common stock at a per share average price of $36.00 and $33.49, respectively.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Information

From time to time, the Company may make or publish forward-looking statements relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects, technological developments, new products and similar matters. Such statements are necessarily estimates reflecting management’s best judgment based on current information. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. Such statements are usually identified by the use of words or phrases such as “believes”, “anticipates”, “expects”, “estimates”, “planned”, “outlook” and “goal”. Because forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, the Company’s actual results could differ materially. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors could cause the Company’s actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in forward-looking statements. All statements addressing trends, events, developments, operating performance, potential acquisitions or liquidity that the Company anticipates or expects will occur in the future are forward-looking statements.

Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated or projected. Investors should bear this in mind as they consider forward-looking statements.

The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in the Company’s Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K reports to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Please see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for a list of factors which could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those projected in the Company’s forward-looking statements and certain risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance and results of the Company’s businesses. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.

The following “Overview” section is a brief summary of the significant items addressed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”). Investors should read the relevant sections of this MD&A for a complete discussion of the items summarized below.

Overview

The Company is a leading provider of a broad range of consumer products. The Company reports four business segments: Outdoor Solutions, Consumer Solutions, Branded Consumables and Process Solutions. The Company’s sales are principally within the United States. The Company’s international operations are mainly based in Asia, Canada, Europe and Latin America.

The Company distributes its products globally, primarily through club stores; craft stores; direct-to-consumer channels, primarily consisting of infomercials; department stores; drugstores; grocery retailers; home improvement stores; mass merchandisers; on-line; specialty retailers and wholesalers. The markets in which the Company’s businesses operate are generally highly competitive, based primarily on product quality, product innovation, price and customer service and support, although the degree and nature of such competition vary by location and product line. Since the Company operates primarily in the consumer products markets, it is generally affected, by among other factors, overall economic conditions and the related impact on consumer confidence.

Summary of Significant 2012 Activities

•

In February 2012, the Company entered into an amendment and borrowed $300 million under its senior secured credit facility (the “Facility”), which is comprised of $150 million under its existing senior secured term loan A facility and $150 million under its existing senior secured term loan B facility.

•

In February 2012, the Company entered into an amendment to its securitization facility that, in part, increased maximum borrowings from $300 million to $400 million and extended the maturity date from May 2014 until February 2015.

•

In March 2012, the Company repurchased approximately 12.1 million shares of its common stock for a total purchase price of approximately $435 million under its accelerated stock repurchase program (see “Capital Resources”).

Acquisitions

Consistent with the Company’s historical acquisition strategy, to the extent the Company pursues future acquisitions, the Company intends to focus on businesses with product offerings that provide geographic or product diversification, or expansion into related categories that can be marketed through the Company’s existing distribution channels or provide us with new distribution channels for its existing products, thereby increasing marketing and distribution efficiencies. Furthermore, the Company expects that acquisition candidates would demonstrate a combination of attractive margins, strong cash flow characteristics, category leading positions and products that generate recurring revenue. The Company anticipates that the fragmented nature of the consumer products market will continue to provide opportunities for growth through strategic acquisitions of complementary businesses. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will complete an acquisition in any given year or that any such acquisition will be significant or successful. The Company will only pursue a candidate when it is deemed to be fiscally prudent and meets the Company’s acquisition criteria. The Company anticipates that any future acquisitions would be financed through any combination of cash on hand, operating cash flow, availability under its existing credit facilities and new capital market offerings.

2012 and 2011 Activity

During 2012 and 2011, the Company did not complete any significant acquisitions.

Venezuela Operations

The Company’s subsidiaries operating in Venezuela are considered under GAAP to be operating in a highly inflationary economy. As such, the Company’s financial statements of its subsidiaries operating in Venezuela are remeasured as if their functional currency were the U.S. dollar and gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities are reflected in current earnings. The financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries operating in Venezuela are remeasured at and are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements at the official exchange rate of 4.30 Bolivars per U.S. dollar, which is the Company’s expected settlement rate.

The transfers of funds out of Venezuela are subject to restrictions, and historically, payments for certain imported goods and services have been required to be transacted by exchanging Bolivars for U.S. dollars through government-regulated markets at exchange rates that are more unfavorable than the official exchange rate of 4.30 Bolivars per U.S. dollar. The current foreign currency exchange system is the System of Transactions in Foreign Currency Denominated Securities (“SITME”) market. Historically, the majority of the Company’s purchases have qualified for the official exchange rate. As such, the Company has been able to convert Bolivars at the official exchange rate and, based upon this ability, the Company does not expect changes in the SITME market to have a material impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. While the timing of government approval for settlement of payables at the official exchange rate varies, the Company believes these payables will ultimately be approved and settled at the official exchange rate based on past experience. However, if in the future, further restrictions require the Company’s subsidiaries operating in Venezuela to convert an increasing amount of the Bolivar cash balances into U.S. dollars using the more unfavorable exchange rate, it could result in currency exchange losses that may be material to the Company’s results of operations. At March 31, 2012, the Company’s subsidiaries operating in Venezuela have approximately $15 million in cash denominated in U.S. dollars and cash of approximately $46 million held in Bolivars converted at the official exchange rate.

Note: Changes in net sales on a currency neutral basis that are presented hereafter are provided to enhance visibility of the underlying operations by excluding the impact of foreign currency translation.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 versus the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011

Net sales for three months ended March 31, 2012 increased $12.0 million, or 0.8%, to $1.5 billion versus the same period in the prior year. Excluding the impact of exiting certain product categories, net sales on a currency neutral basis increased 2.9%, primarily due to increased sell-through in certain other categories and expanded product offerings, partially offset by weakness in certain product categories. Unfavorable foreign currency translation and the exiting of certain product categories each accounted for an approximate 1% decrease in net sales for a combined approximate 2% decrease in net sales.

Net sales in the Outdoor Solutions segment decreased $7.4 million, or 1.1%. Increased sales on a currency neutral basis in the fishing and technical apparel businesses provided an increase in net sales of approximately 3%, largely related to expanded product offerings, increased point of sale and favorable weather conditions in North America. This increase was offset by a commensurate decrease in the camping and outdoor, team sports and winter sports businesses, primarily due to the exiting of certain product categories, as well as softness in the winter sports business, which was negatively affected by unfavorable winter weather conditions. Unfavorable foreign currency translation accounted for a decrease of approximately 1% in net sales.

Net sales in the Consumer Solutions segment increased $1.1 million, or 0.3%. Increased demand internationally, primarily in Latin America, which contributed to an increase in net sales of approximately 1%, primarily due to increased point of sale, was partially offset by declines domestically, primarily related to weakness in certain personal care and wellness categories.

Net sales in the Branded Consumables segment increased $16.6 million, or 4.3%. Increased sales on a currency neutral basis in the baby care, home care, leisure and entertainment and safety and security businesses, provided an increase in net sales of approximately 6%, in part due to increased sales in certain product categories, primarily due to increased point of sale and expanded distribution, partially offset by softness in firelog sales, which were negatively affected by unfavorable weather conditions. Unfavorable foreign currency translation accounted for a decrease of approximately 2% in net sales.

Net sales in the Process Solutions segment increased 3.2% on a period-over-period basis, primarily due to an increase in coinage sales.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales decreased $5.8 million, or 0.5%, to $1.1 billion for three months ended March 31, 2012 versus the same prior year period. The decrease is primarily due to a $5.3 million period-over-period decrease in the purchase accounting adjustment for the elimination of manufacturer’s profit in inventory. The increase in cost of sales due to increased net sales (approximately $20 million) was countervailed by foreign currency translation and other items. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was 71.9% and 72.9%, respectively (72.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2011, excluding the charge for the elimination of manufacturer’s profit in inventory).

Selling, General And Administrative Costs

Selling, general and administrative costs (“SG&A”) increased $4.9 million, or 1.6%, to $318 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 versus the same prior year period. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was essentially flat on a period-over-period basis at approximately 21%.

Operating Earnings

Operating earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2012 in the Outdoor Solutions segment increased $7.8 million, or 15.6%, versus the same prior year period, primarily due to a gross profit increase (approximately $7 million), primarily due to increased margins, partially offset by lower sales. Operating earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2012 in the Consumer Solutions segment decreased $2.9 million, or 7.4%, versus the same prior year period, primarily due to a gross profit decrease (approximately $4 million), primarily due to lower margins related to international sales, partially offset by a decrease in SG&A ($1.3 million). Operating earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2012 in the Branded Consumables segment increased $13.2 million, or 48.0%, versus the same prior year period, primarily due to a gross profit increase (approximately $13 million), primarily due to the gross margin impact of higher sales and a $5.3 million period-over-period decrease in the charge recorded for the purchase accounting adjustment for the elimination of manufacturer’s profit in inventory. Operating earnings in the Process Solutions segment for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased $2.2 million, or 32.4%, versus the same prior year period, primarily due to an increase in gross profit, in part due to higher sales, and a decrease in SG&A ($1.2 million).

Interest Expense

Net interest decreased by $0.4 million to $44.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 versus the same prior year period primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average interest rate for 2012 to 5.4% from 5.5% in 2011, partially offset by higher average debt levels.

Income Taxes

The Company’s reported tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was 38.3%. The increase from the statutory tax rate to the reported tax rate for both periods results principally from the U.S. tax expense recognized on the undistributed foreign income.

Net Income

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased $16.1 million to $35.1 million versus the same prior year period. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, earnings per diluted share were $0.41 and $0.21, respectively. The increase in net income was primarily due to the gross profit impact of higher sales and the loss on early extinguishment of debt ($12.8 million) recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

LIQUIDITY

At March 31, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $481 million, of which approximately $424 million was held by the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries. The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations and

the availability under the Facility, the securitization facility and the credit facilities of certain foreign subsidiaries as of March 31, 2012 provide sufficient liquidity to support working capital requirements, planned capital expenditures, debt obligations, completion of current and future reorganization programs and pension plan contribution requirements for the foreseeable future.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $147 million and $167 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The change is primarily due to improved operating results in 2012. Net changes in operating assets and liabilities on a period over period basis were consistent.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $164 million and $106 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The change is primarily due to a $403 million increase in the payments for the issuance (repurchase) of common stock, net, partially offset by the period-over-period increase in the proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt in excess of payments on long-term debt ($249 million) and the period-over-period increase in the net change in short-term debt ($82.8 million).

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $23.3 million and $26.0 million the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, capital expenditures were $23.3 million versus $27.0 million for the same prior year period. The Company expects to maintain capital expenditures at an annualized run-rate in the range of approximately 2.0% to 2.5% of net sales.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

In February 2012, the Company entered into an amendment and borrowed $300 million under the Facility, which is comprised of $150 million under its existing senior secured term loan A facility that matures in March 2016 and bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread of 225 basis points; and $150 million under its existing senior secured term loan B facility that matures in January 2017 and bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread of 300 basis points. The proceeds were used, in part, to repurchase of shares of the Company’s common stock under its accelerated stock repurchase program.

At March 31 2012, there was no amount outstanding under the Company’s $250 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) that matures in 2016. The Revolver bears interest at certain selected rates, including LIBOR plus a spread of 225 basis points. At March 31, 2012, commitment fee on unused balances was 0.38% per annum.

The Company maintains a $400 million receivables purchase agreement (the “Securitization Facility”) that matures in February 2015. At March 31, 2012, the borrowing rate margin and the unused line fee on the Securitization Facility were 0.90% and 0.45% per annum, respectively. At March 31, 2012, the Securitization Facility had outstanding borrowings totaling $396 million.

At March 31, 2012, net availability under the Revolver and the Securitization Facility was approximately $216 million, after deducting approximately $38 million of outstanding standby and commercial letters of credit.

Certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company maintain working capital lines of credits with their respective local financial institutions for use in operating activities. At March 31, 2012, the aggregate amount available under these lines of credit totaled approximately $72 million.

The Company was not in default of any of its debt covenants at March 31, 2012.

In January 2012, the Company commenced a “modified Dutch auction” self-tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase up to $500 million in value of its common stock. In March 2012, pursuant to the terms of the Offer, the Company repurchased approximately 12.1 million shares of its common stock for a total purchase price of approximately $435 million or $36.00 per share. The repurchase of shares of common stock under the Offer was made pursuant to the Company’s existing stock repurchase program (the “Stock Repurchase Program”), pursuant to which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $500 million aggregate amount of outstanding shares of common stock at prevailing market prices or in privately-negotiated transactions. At March 31, 2012, approximately $65 million remains available under the Stock Repurchase Program.

Risk Management

Interest Rate Contracts

Cash Flow Hedges

At March 31, 2012, the Company had $750 million notional amount outstanding in swap agreements, which include $350 million notional amount of forward-starting swaps that become effective commencing December 31, 2013, that exchange variable rates of interest (LIBOR) for fixed interest rates over the terms of the agreements and are designated as cash flow hedges of the interest rate risk attributable to forecasted variable interest payments and have maturity dates through December 2015. At March 31, 2012, the weighted average fixed rate of interest on these swaps, excluding the forward-starting swap, was approximately 1.6%. The effective portion of the after-tax fair value gains or losses on these swaps is included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”).

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

The Company uses foreign currency contracts to mitigate the foreign currency exchange rate exposure on the cash flows related to forecasted inventory purchases and sales and have maturity dates through January 2014. The derivatives used to hedge these forecasted transactions that meet the criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of the gains or losses on these derivatives is deferred as a component of AOCI and is recognized in earnings at the same time that the hedged item affects earnings and is included in the same caption in the statements of operations as the underlying hedged item. At March 31, 2012, the Company had approximately $476 million notional amount of foreign currency contracts outstanding that are designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted inventory purchases and sales.

At March 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding approximately $162 million notional amount of foreign currency contracts that are not designated as effective hedges for accounting purposes and have maturity dates through January 2013. Fair market value gains or losses are included in the results of operations and are classified in SG&A.

Commodity Contracts

The Company enters into commodity-based derivatives in order to mitigate the risk that the rising price of these commodities could have on the cost of certain of the Company’s raw materials. These commodity-based derivatives provide the Company with cost certainty, and in certain instances, allow the Company to benefit should the cost of the commodity fall below certain dollar thresholds. At March 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding approximately $13 million notional amount of commodity-based derivatives that are not designated as effective hedges for accounting purposes and have maturity dates through March 2014. Fair market value gains or losses are included in the results of operations and are classified in SG&A.

The following table presents the fair value of derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2012:

(in millions)	Asset (Liability)

Net Investment Hedge

The Company designated its Euro-denominated 7¹/2% senior subordinated notes due 2020, with an aggregate principal balance of €150 million (the “Hedging Instrument”), as a net investment hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in certain Euro-denominated subsidiaries. Foreign currency gains and losses on the Hedging Instrument are included as a component of AOCI. At March 31, 2012, $8.9 million of deferred losses have been recorded in AOCI.
