"Despite an incredibly challenging macroeconomic environment, Jarden delivered another record year of sales, segment earnings and adjusted EPS in 2008," said Martin E. Franklin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Jarden Corporation. "Our strong operating results and market share gains have shown that our business can outperform the competition even in the most difficult of times. The improvement in operating margins during the fourth quarter was a testament to our focus on operating excellence and the mix shift within our business. Our diversified portfolio of market-leading brands continued to demonstrate resiliency in 2008. We attribute the successful year to our ongoing investments in developing innovative new products, enhancing our brands and leveraging our scale within the flexible operating platform we have built."
Mr. Franklin continued, "We fully expect the difficult operating environment to continue for the near term. As such, we believe Jarden is positioned from a balance sheet, as well as sales and margin perspective to emerge from this recessionary environment better positioned for organic growth than at any time in our history. While the creation of Jarden began in 2001, the company has only operated in its present form for the last 18 months during which period we have proved that Jarden can produce a strong and sustainable performance. We believe that having proved the robustness of our diversified business model, the outlook for Jarden should only get better as the macro economy improves."

Note 2: This earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures. 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 and other intangibles, certain reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs, non-cash stock-based compensation costs and loss on early extinguishment of debt. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Note 3: In prior years, the Company had adjusted for non-cash stock compensation costs to derive its adjusted net income. In 2008, the Company no longer adjusts for these costs and therefore, prior year amounts have been restated to conform with the current year presentation. The Company recorded non-cash stock compensation costs of $4.0 million and $30.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $20.6 million and $64.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
