1	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SB Holdings” or the “Company”), is a diversified global branded consumer products company. Spectrum Brands, Inc. (“Spectrum Brands”), is a wholly owned subsidiary of SB Holdings. SB Holdings' common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “SPB.”

The Company’s operations include the worldwide manufacturing and marketing of alkaline, zinc carbon and hearing aid batteries, as well as aquariums and aquatic health supplies and the designing and marketing of rechargeable batteries, battery-powered lighting products, electric shavers and accessories, grooming products and hair care appliances. The Company’s operations also include the manufacturing and marketing of specialty pet supplies. The Company also manufactures and markets herbicides, insecticides and insect repellents in North America. The Company also designs, markets and distributes a broad range of branded small appliances and personal care products. The Company’s operations utilize manufacturing and product development facilities located in the United States ("U.S."), Europe, Latin America and Asia.

On December 17, 2012, the Company acquired the residential hardware and home improvement business (the “HHI Business”) from Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. (“Stanley Black & Decker”), which includes (i) the equity interests of certain subsidiaries of Stanley Black & Decker engaged in the business and (ii) certain assets of Stanley Black & Decker used or held for use in connection with the business (the “Hardware Acquisition”). The HHI Business has a broad portfolio of recognized brand names, including Kwikset, Weiser, Baldwin, National Hardware, Stanley, FANAL and Pfister, as well as patented technologies such as Smartkey, a rekeyable lockset technology, and Smart Code Home Connect. On April 8, 2013, the Company completed the Hardware Acquisition, which included the acquisition of certain assets of Tong Lung Metal Industry Co. Ltd., a Taiwan Corporation ("TLM Taiwan”), which is involved in the production of residential locksets. For information pertaining to the Hardware Acquisition, see Note 15, “Acquisitions.”

The Company sells its products in approximately 140 countries through a variety of trade channels, including retailers, wholesalers and distributors, hearing aid professionals, industrial distributors and original equipment manufacturers and enjoys name recognition in its markets under the Rayovac, VARTA and Remington brands, each of which has been in existence for more than 80 years, and under the Tetra, 8-in-1, Dingo, Nature's Miracle, Spectracide, Cutter, Hot Shot, Black & Decker, George Foreman, Russell Hobbs, Farberware, Black Flag, FURminator, the previously mentioned HHI Business brands and various other brands.

The Company's global branded consumer products have positions in seven major product categories: consumer batteries; small appliances; pet supplies; electric shaving and grooming; electric personal care; home and garden controls; and hardware and home improvement, which consists of the recently acquired HHI Business.

The Company manages the businesses in four vertically integrated, product-focused reporting segments: (i) Global Batteries & Appliances, which consists of the Company's worldwide battery, electric shaving and grooming, electric personal care and small appliances primarily in the kitchen and home product categories (“Global Batteries & Appliances”); (ii) Global Pet Supplies, which consists of the Company's worldwide pet supplies business (“Global Pet Supplies”); (iii) Home and Garden Business, which consists of the Company's home and garden and insect control business (the “Home and Garden Business”); and (iv) Hardware & Home Improvement, which consists of the recently acquired HHI Business (“Hardware & Home Improvement”). Management reviews the performance of the Company based on these segments, which also reflect the manner in which the Company's management monitors performance and allocates resources. For information pertaining to our business segments, see Note 12, “Segment Results.”


2	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation: The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SB Holdings and its subsidiaries and are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, in the opinion of the Company, include all adjustments (which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at June 30, 2013, the results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013 and July 1, 2012, the comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013 and July 1, 2012 and the cash flows for

Table of Contents

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) – (Continued)

(Amounts in thousands, except per share figures)

the nine month periods ended June 30, 2013 and July 1, 2012. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012.

Change in Accounting Principle: During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Company made a change in accounting principle to present tax withholdings for share-based payment awards paid to taxing authorities on behalf of an employee as a financing activity within its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Such amounts were previously presented within operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The Company believes this change is preferable as the predominant characteristic of the transaction is a financing activity. The Company has reclassified the following amounts within its previously reported Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows on a retrospective basis to reflect this change in accounting principle:



	Nine Months Ended
	2013		2012
Net cash used by operating activities: Net changes in assets and liabilities	17,946		3,936
Net cash provided by financing activities: Share based award tax withholding payments	(17,946	)	(3,936	)

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Intangible Assets: Intangible assets are recorded at cost or at fair value if acquired in a purchase business combination. Customer relationships and proprietary technology intangibles are amortized, using the straight-line method, over their estimated useful lives. Excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired (goodwill) and indefinite lived trade name intangibles are not amortized. Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350: “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other,” requires that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets be tested for impairment annually, or more often if an event or circumstance indicates that an impairment loss may have been incurred. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, with such groupings being consistent with the Company’s reportable segments. If an impairment is indicated, a write-down to fair value (normally measured by discounting estimated future cash flows) is recorded. Indefinite lived trade name intangibles are tested for impairment at least annually by comparing the fair value with the carrying value. Any excess of carrying value over fair value is recognized as an impairment loss in income from operations.

The Company’s annual impairment testing is completed at the August financial period end. Management uses its judgment in assessing whether assets may have become impaired between annual impairment tests. Indicators such as unexpected adverse business conditions, economic factors, unanticipated technological change or competitive activities, loss of key personnel, and acts by governments and courts may signal that an asset has become impaired.

Shipping and Handling Costs: The Company incurred shipping and handling costs of $67,023 and $183,050 for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and $48,797 and $148,383 for the three and nine month periods ended July 1, 2012, respectively. These costs are included in Selling expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited). Shipping and handling costs include costs incurred with third-party carriers to transport products to customers as well as salaries and overhead costs related to activities to prepare the Company’s products for shipment from its distribution facilities.

Concentrations of Credit Risk: Trade receivables subject the Company to credit risk. Trade accounts receivable are carried at net realizable value. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and credit history, and generally does not require collateral. The Company monitors its customers’ credit and financial condition based on changing economic conditions and makes adjustments to credit policies as required. Provisions for losses on uncollectible trade receivables are determined based on ongoing evaluations of the Company’s receivables, principally on the basis of historical collection experience and evaluations of the risks of nonpayment for a given customer.

The Company has a broad range of customers including many large retail outlet chains, one of which accounts for a significant percentage of its sales volume. This customer represented approximately 17% and 18% of the Company’s Net sales

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) – (Continued)

(Amounts in thousands, except per share figures)

during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and 23% of the Company’s Net sales during both the three and nine month periods ended July 1, 2012. This customer also represented approximately 10% and 13% of the Company’s Trade accounts receivable, net at June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively.

Approximately 37% and 41% of the Company’s Net sales during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and 40% and 44% of the Company’s Net sales during the three and nine month periods ended July 1, 2012, respectively, occurred outside the U.S. These sales and related receivables are subject to varying degrees of credit, currency, political and economic risk. The Company monitors these risks and makes appropriate provisions for collectibility based on an assessment of the risks present.

Stock-Based Compensation: The Company measures the cost of its stock-based compensation plans based on the fair value of its employee stock awards and recognizes these costs over the requisite service period of the awards.

Total stock compensation expense associated with restricted stock awards and restricted stock units recognized by the Company during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013 was $17,807 and $32,566, respectively. Total stock compensation expense associated with restricted stock awards and restricted stock units recognized by the Company during the three and nine month periods ended July 1, 2012 was $4,490 and $15,771, respectively.

The Company granted approximately 30 and 666 restricted stock units during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively. Of these grants, 22 restricted stock units are time-based and vest over a one year period. Of the remaining 644 restricted stock units, 90 are performance-based and vest over a one year period and 554 are performance and time-based and vest over a two year period. The total market value of the restricted stock units on the dates of the grants was approximately $30,189.

The Company granted approximately 42 and 759 restricted stock units during the three and nine month periods ended July 1, 2012, respectively. Of these grants, 18 restricted stock units are time-based and vest over a one year period and 42 restricted stock units are time-based and vest over a two year period. The remaining 699 restricted stock units are performance and time-based and vest over a two year period. The total market value of the restricted stock units on the dates of the grants was approximately $20,756.

The fair value of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units is determined based on the market price of the Company’s shares of common stock on the grant date. A summary of the activity in the Company’s non-vested restricted stock awards and restricted stock units during the nine months ended June 30, 2013 is as follows:



Restricted Stock Awards	Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Fair Value at Grant Date
Non-vested restricted stock awards at September 30, 2012	13		$	28.00	$	364

3	COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation gains and losses on assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, effects of exchange rate changes on intercompany balances of a long-term nature and transactions designated as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign subsidiary, deferred gains and losses on derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges and amortization of deferred gains and losses associated with the Company’s pension plans. The foreign currency translation gains and losses for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013 and July 1, 2012 were primarily attributable to the impact of translation of the net assets of the Company’s European and Latin American operations, which primarily have functional currencies in Euros, Pounds Sterling and Brazilian Real.

Term Loan

On December 17, 2012, Spectrum Brands entered into a senior term loan facility, maturing December 17, 2019, which provides borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of $800,000, with $100,000 in Canadian dollar equivalents (the "Term Loan") in connection with the acquisition of the HHI Business. A portion of the Term Loan proceeds were used to refinance the former term loan facility, which was scheduled to mature on June 17, 2016, and had an aggregate amount outstanding of $370,175 prior to refinancing. In connection with the refinancing, the Company recorded accelerated amortization of portions of the unamortized discount and unamortized Debt issuance costs related to the former term loan facility totaling $5,485 as an adjustment to interest expense during the nine month period ended June 30, 2013.

The Term Loan contains financial covenants with respect to debt, including, but not limited to, a fixed charge ratio. In addition, the Term Loan contains customary restrictive covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make investments or specified payments, give guarantees, pay dividends, make capital expenditures and merge or acquire or sell assets. Pursuant to a guarantee and collateral agreement, the Company, its domestic subsidiaries and its Canadian subsidiaries have guaranteed their respective obligations under the Term Loan and related loan documents and have pledged substantially all of their respective assets to secure such obligations. The Term Loan also provides for customary events of default, including payment defaults and cross-defaults on other material indebtedness.

In connection with the issuance of the Term Loan, the Company recorded $201 and $19,328 of fees during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively, of which $16,907 is classified as Debt issuance costs within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited) and is being amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the remaining life of the Term Loan, with the remainder of $2,421 reflected as an increase to interest expense during the nine month period ended June 30, 2013.

6.375% Notes and 6.625% Notes

On December 17, 2012, in connection with the acquisition of the HHI Business, Spectrum Brands assumed $520,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.375% Notes at par value, due November 15, 2020 (the "6.375% Notes"), and $570,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.625% Notes at par value, due November 15, 2022 (the "6.625% Notes"), previously issued by Spectrum Brands Escrow Corporation. The 6.375% Notes and the 6.625% Notes are unsecured and guaranteed by Spectrum Brands’ parent company, SB/RH Holdings, LLC, as well as by existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries.

The Company may redeem all or a part of the 6.375% Notes and the 6.625% Notes, upon not less than 30 or more than 60 days notice, at specified redemption prices. Further, the indenture governing the 6.375% Notes and the 6.625% Notes (the

Table of Contents

SPECTRUM BRANDS HOLDINGS, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) – (Continued)

(Amounts in thousands, except per share figures)

“2020/22 Indenture”), requires the Company to make an offer, in cash, to repurchase all or a portion of the applicable outstanding notes for a specified redemption price, including a redemption premium, upon the occurrence of a change of control of the Company, as defined in such indenture.

The 2020/22 Indenture contains customary covenants that limit, among other things, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, payment of dividends on or redemption or repurchase of equity interests, the making of certain investments, expansion into unrelated businesses, creation of liens on assets, merger or consolidation with another company, transfer or sale of all or substantially all assets, and transactions with affiliates.

In addition, the 2020/22 Indenture provides for customary events of default, including failure to make required payments, failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants, failure to make payments when due or on acceleration of certain other indebtedness, and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. Events of default under the 2020/22 Indenture arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency will automatically cause the acceleration of the amounts due under the 6.375% Notes and the 6.625% Notes. If any other event of default under the 2020/22 Indenture occurs and is continuing, the trustee for the 2020/22 Indenture or the registered holders of at least 25% in the then aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 6.375% Notes, or the 6.625% Notes, may declare the acceleration of the amounts due under those notes.

The Company recorded $3 and $12,906 of fees in connection with the offering of the 6.375% Notes during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and $4 and $14,127 of fees in connection with the offering of the 6.625% Notes during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The fees are classified as Debt issuance costs within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited) and are being amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the respective remaining lives of the 6.375% Notes and the 6.625% Notes.

ABL Facility

On December 17, 2012 the Company exercised its option to increase its asset based lending revolving credit facility (the "ABL Facility") from $300,000 to $400,000 and extend the maturity to May 24, 2017. In connection with the increase and extension, the Company incurred $323 of fees during the nine month period ended June 30, 2013. The fees are classified as Debt issuance costs within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited) and are being amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the remaining life of the ABL Facility.

On March 28, 2013, the Company amended its ABL Facility to conform certain provisions to reflect the acquisition of the HHI Business. In connection with the amendment, the Company incurred $98 and $206 of fees during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The fees are classified as Debt issuance costs within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited) and are being amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the remaining life of the ABL Facility.

As a result of borrowings and payments under the ABL Facility, at June 30, 2013, the Company had aggregate borrowing availability of approximately $228,055, net of lender reserves of $7,942 and outstanding letters of credit of $38,491.


8	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Derivative financial instruments are used by the Company principally in the management of its interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate and raw material price exposures. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Derivative instruments are reported at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (unaudited). When hedge accounting is elected at inception, the Company formally designates the financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure and documents both the risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge. The Company formally assesses both at the inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the financial instruments that are used in hedging transactions are effective at offsetting changes in the forecasted cash flows of the related underlying exposure. Because of the high degree of effectiveness between the hedging instrument and the underlying exposure being hedged, fluctuations in the value of the derivative instruments are generally offset by changes in the forecasted cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. Any ineffective portion of a financial instrument’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. For derivatives that are not designated as cash flow hedges, or do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the change in the fair value is also immediately recognized in earnings.

Credit Risk

The Company is exposed to the risk of default by the counterparties with which it transacts and generally does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company monitors counterparty credit risk on an individual basis by periodically assessing each such counterparty’s credit rating exposure. The maximum loss due to credit risk equals the fair value of the gross asset derivatives that are concentrated with certain domestic and foreign financial institution counterparties. The Company considers these exposures when measuring its credit reserve on its derivative assets, which was $36 and $46 at June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively.

The Company’s standard contracts do not contain credit risk related contingent features whereby the Company would be required to post additional cash collateral as a result of a credit event. However, the Company is typically required to post collateral in the normal course of business to offset its liability positions. At June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, the

(Amounts in thousands, except per share figures)

Company had posted cash collateral of $450 and $50, respectively, related to such liability positions. In addition, at June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, the Company had no posted standby letters of credit related to such liability positions. The cash collateral is included in Current Assets—Receivables-Other within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited).

Derivative Financial Instruments

Cash Flow Hedges

When appropriate, the Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk. The swaps are designated as cash flow hedges with the changes in fair value recorded in AOCI and as a derivative hedge asset or liability, as applicable. The swaps settle periodically in arrears with the related amounts for the current settlement period payable to, or receivable from, the counter-parties included in accrued liabilities or receivables, respectively, and recognized in earnings as an adjustment to interest expense from the underlying debt to which the swap is designated. At June 30, 2013, the Company did not have any interest rate swaps outstanding.

The Company periodically enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the risk from forecasted foreign currency denominated third party and intercompany sales or payments. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, Australian Dollars, Brazilian Reals, Mexican Pesos, Canadian Dollars or Japanese Yen. These foreign exchange contracts are cash flow hedges of fluctuating foreign exchange related to sales of product or raw material purchases. Until the sale or purchase is recognized, the fair value of the related hedge is recorded in AOCI and as a derivative hedge asset or liability, as applicable. At the time the sale or purchase is recognized, the fair value of the related hedge is reclassified as an adjustment to Net sales or purchase price variance in Cost of goods sold. At June 30, 2013, the Company had a series of foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding through September 2014 with a contract value of $228,419. The derivative net gain on these contracts recorded in AOCI by the Company at June 30, 2013 was $4,138, net of tax expense of $1,541. At June 30, 2013, the portion of derivative net gain estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings by the Company over the next 12 months is $3,697, net of tax.

The Company is exposed to risk from fluctuating prices for raw materials, specifically zinc and brass used in its manufacturing processes. The Company hedges a portion of the risk associated with the purchase of these materials through the use of commodity swaps. The hedge contracts are designated as cash flow hedges with the fair value changes recorded in AOCI and as a hedge asset or liability, as applicable. The unrecognized changes in fair value of the hedge contracts are reclassified from AOCI into earnings when the hedged purchase of raw materials also affects earnings. The swaps effectively fix the floating price on a specified quantity of raw materials through a specified date. At June 30, 2013, the Company had a series of zinc swap contracts outstanding through September 2014 for 10 tons with a contract value of $20,372. At June 30, 2013, the Company had a series of brass swap contracts outstanding through September 2014 for 1 ton with a contract value of $5,609. The derivative net loss on these contracts recorded in AOCI by the Company at June 30, 2013 was $1,068, net of tax benefit of $127. At June 30, 2013, the portion of derivative net loss estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings by the Company over the next 12 months is $1,010, net of tax.

Derivative Contracts

The Company periodically enters into forward and swap foreign exchange contracts to economically hedge the risk from third party and intercompany payments resulting from existing obligations. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros or Australian Dollars. These foreign exchange contracts are fair value hedges of a related liability or asset recorded in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited). The gain or loss on the derivative hedge contracts is recorded in earnings as an offset to the change in value of the related liability or asset at each period end. At June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, the Company had $112,737 and $172,581, respectively, of notional value for such foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding.

The Company periodically enters into commodity swap contracts to economically hedge the risk from fluctuating prices for raw materials, specifically the pass-through of market prices for silver used in manufacturing purchased watch batteries. The Company hedges a portion of the risk associated with these materials through the use of commodity swaps. The swap contracts are designated as economic hedges with the unrealized gain or loss recorded in earnings and as an asset or liability at each period end. The unrecognized changes in fair value of the hedge contracts are adjusted through earnings when the realized gains or losses affect earnings upon settlement of the hedges. The swaps effectively fix the floating price on a specified quantity of silver through a specified date. At June 30, 2013, the Company had a series of such swap contracts outstanding through April 2014 for 60 troy ounces with a contract value of $1,189.

The Company funds its U.S. pension plans in accordance with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) defined guidelines and, where applicable, in amounts sufficient to satisfy the minimum funding requirements of applicable laws. Additionally, in compliance with the Company’s funding policy, annual contributions to non-U.S. defined benefit plans are equal to the actuarial recommendations or statutory requirements in the respective countries. The Company’s contributions to its pension and deferred compensation plans for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013 and July 1, 2012 were as follows:



	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
Pension and deferred compensation contributions	2013		2012		2013		2012
Contributions made during period	$	1,188	$	1,289	$	2,890	$	3,767

11	INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective tax rates for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013 were 29% and 151%, respectively. The Company's effective tax rates for the three and nine month periods ended July 1, 2012 were (10)% and 47%, respectively. The Company's effective tax rates differ from the United States federal statutory rate of 35% principally due to: (i) losses in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can be recognized due to full valuation allowances that have been provided on the Company's net operating loss carryforward tax benefits and other deferred tax assets; (ii) deferred income tax expense related to the change in book versus tax basis of indefinite lived intangibles, which are amortized for tax purposes but not for book purposes, and (iii) the reversal of U.S. valuation allowances of $49,291 as a result of the HHI Business acquisition during the nine months ended June 30, 2013, and $13,915 as a result of the FURminator acquisition during the nine month period ended July 1, 2012.

The Company recognizes in its consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position if it concludes that the position is more likely than not sustainable upon audit, based on the technical merits of the position. At June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, the Company had $8,968 and $5,877, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions. The Company also had approximately $3,787 and $3,564, respectively, of accrued interest and penalties related to the uncertain tax positions at those dates. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are reported in the consolidated financial statements as part of income tax expense.

As of June 30, 2013, certain of the Company's legal entities in various jurisdictions are undergoing income tax audits. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the examinations; however, it is reasonably possible that during the next 12 months some portion of previously unrecognized tax benefits could be recognized.

On February 8, 2013, the Venezuelan government announced the formal devaluation of its currency, the Bolivar fuerte, relative to the U.S. dollar. As Venezuela continues to be considered a highly inflationary economy, the functional currency of the Company's Venezuelan subsidiary is the U.S. dollar. Therefore, the Company remeasured the local statement of financial position of its Venezuela entity as of February 8, 2013 to reflect the impact of the devaluation to the official exchange rate from 4.3 to 6.3 Bolivar fuerte per U.S. dollar. The effect of the devaluation of the Bolivar fuerte was recorded in other expense, net and resulted in a $1,953 reduction to the Company's pretax income during the nine month period ended June 30, 2013.

Preliminary Valuation of Assets and Liabilities

The preliminary fair values of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the purchase of the HHI Business, excluding TLM Taiwan, have been recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position based upon their preliminary values at December 17, 2012. The preliminary fair values of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the TLM Taiwan purchase have been recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position based upon their preliminary values at April 8, 2013. The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary fair values of the net tangible and intangible assets was recorded as goodwill, and includes value associated with greater product diversity, stronger relationships with core retail partners, cross-selling opportunities in all channels and a new platform for potential future global growth using the Company's existing international infrastructure, most notably in Europe. The majority of goodwill recorded is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The preliminary fair values recorded were based upon a preliminary valuation and the estimates and assumptions used in such valuation are subject to change, which could be significant, within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The primary areas of the preliminary valuation that are not yet finalized relate to the fair values of certain tangible assets and liabilities acquired, certain legal matters, amounts for income taxes including deferred tax accounts, amounts for uncertain tax positions and net operating loss carryforwards inclusive of associated limitations and valuation allowances, the determination of identifiable intangible assets and the final amount of residual goodwill. Additionally, finalized fair values associated with deferred tax accounts could have a material effect on the Company's estimated reversal of its consolidated U.S. valuation allowances recognized during the measurement period. See Note 11, "Income Taxes," for further information. The Company expects to continue to obtain information to assist it in determining the fair values of the net assets acquired at the acquisition date during the measurement period. The preliminary valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the HHI Business, including a reconciliation to the preliminary valuation reported as of December 30, 2012, is as follows:

Since the preliminary valuation on December 30, 2012, the Company recorded $45,649 to goodwill related to the acquisition of TLM Taiwan on April 8, 2013, and recorded adjustments to the preliminary valuation of assets and liabilities, excluding TLM Taiwan, resulting in a net increase to goodwill of $13,125. The preliminary goodwill increased $11,177 as a result of recording certain state and foreign valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, $5,147 resulting from a reduction in certain property, plant and equipment asset values and $2,393 from a reduction in inventory asset values. The preliminary goodwill decreased $7,669 as a result of the final working capital adjustment related to the December 17, 2012 close. The changes in estimates were the result of additional accounting information provided by Stanley Black & Decker during the period. The Company believes that the information gathered to date provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, but the Company is waiting for additional information necessary to finalize those fair values. Thus, the provisional measurements of fair value set forth above are subject to change further. The Company expects to complete the purchase accounting process as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

Preliminary Pre-Acquisition Contingencies Assumed

The Company has evaluated and continues to evaluate pre-acquisition contingencies relating to the HHI Business that existed as of the acquisition date. Based on the evaluation to date, the Company has preliminarily determined that certain pre-acquisition contingencies are probable in nature and estimable as of the acquisition date. Accordingly, the Company has recorded its best estimates for these contingencies as part of the preliminary valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired for the HHI Business. The Company continues to gather information relating to all pre-acquisition contingencies that it has assumed from the HHI Business. Any changes to the pre-acquisition contingency amounts recorded during the measurement period will be included in the final valuation and related amounts recognized. Subsequent to the end of the measurement period, any adjustments to pre-acquisition contingency amounts will be reflected in the Company's results of operations.

Preliminary Valuation Adjustments

The Company performed a preliminary valuation of the assets and liabilities of the HHI Business, excluding TLM Taiwan, on December 17, 2012. The Company performed a preliminary valuation of the assets and liabilities of TLM Taiwan

on April 8, 2013. Significant adjustments as a result of the preliminary valuation and the bases for their determination are summarized as follows:


•	Inventories- An adjustment of $31,000 was recorded to adjust inventory to fair value. Finished goods were valued at estimated selling prices less the sum of costs of disposal and a reasonable profit allowance for the selling effort.


•	Property, plant and equipment, net- An adjustment of $3,997 was recorded to adjust the net book value of property, plant and equipment to fair value giving consideration to the highest and best use of the assets. The valuation of the Company's property, plant and equipment was based on the cost approach.


•	Certain indefinite-lived intangible assets were valued using a relief from royalty methodology. Customer relationships and certain definite-lived intangible assets were valued using a multi-period excess earnings method. The total fair value of indefinite and definite lived intangibles was $487,100. A summary of the significant key inputs is as follows:

•

The Company valued customer relationships using the income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method. In determining the fair value of the customer relationships, the multi-period excess earnings approach values the intangible asset at the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable only to the customer relationship after deducting contributory asset charges. The incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to the subject intangible asset are then discounted to their present value. Only expected sales from current customers were used, which included an annual expected growth rate of 2.5% - 3%. The Company assumed a customer retention rate of approximately 95%, which was supported by historical retention rates. Income taxes were estimated at 17% - 35% and amounts were discounted using a rate of 12%. The customer relationships were valued at $90,000 under this approach and will be amortized over 20 years.

•

The Company valued indefinite-lived trade names and trademarks using the income approach, specifically the relief from royalty method. Under this method, the asset value was determined by estimating the hypothetical royalties that would have to be paid if the trade name was not owned. Royalty rates were selected based on consideration of several factors, including prior transactions of the HHI Business, related trademarks and trade names, other similar trademark licensing and transaction agreements and the relative profitability and perceived contribution of the trademarks and trade names. Royalty rates used in the determination of the fair values of trade names and trademarks ranged from 3% - 5% of expected net sales related to the respective trade names and trademarks. The Company anticipates using the majority of the trade names and trademarks for an indefinite period as demonstrated by the sustained use of each subject trademark. In estimating the fair value of the trademarks and trade names, Net sales for significant trade names and trademarks were estimated to grow at a rate of 2.5% - 5% annually with a terminal year growth rate of 2.5%. Income taxes were estimated at 35% and amounts were discounted using a rate of 12%. Trade name and trademarks were valued at $330,000 under this approach.

•

The Company valued definite lived trade names using the income approach, specifically the relief from royalty method. Under this method, the asset value was determined by estimating the hypothetical royalties that would have to be paid if the trade name was not owned. Royalty rates were selected based on consideration of several factors, including prior transactions of the HHI Business, related trademarks and trade names, other similar trademark licensing and transaction agreements and the relative profitability and perceived contribution of the trademarks and trade names. The royalty rates used in the determination of the fair values of the trade names ranged from 1% - 3.5% of expected net sales related to the respective trade name. The Company assumed an 8 year useful life of the trade name. In estimating the fair value of the trade name, Net sales for the trade name were estimated to grow at a rate of 2.5% - 5% annually. Income taxes were estimated at 17% - 35% and amounts were discounted using a rate of 12%. The trade names were valued at $4,100 under this approach.

•

The Company valued a trade name license agreement using the income approach, specifically the relief from royalty method. Under this method, the asset value was determined by estimating the hypothetical royalties that would have to be paid if the trade name was not owned. Royalty rates were selected based on consideration of several factors, including prior transactions of the HHI Business, related trademarks and trade names, other similar trademark licensing and transaction agreements and the relative profitability and perceived contribution of the trademarks and trade names. The royalty rate used in the

(Amounts in thousands, except per share figures)

determination of the fair value of the trade name license agreement was 4% of expected Net sales related to the respective trade name. In estimating the fair value of the trade name license agreement, Net sales were estimated to grow at a rate of 2.5% - 5% annually. The Company assumed a 5 year useful life of the trade name license agreement. Income taxes were estimated at 35% and amounts were discounted using a rate of 12%. The trade name license agreement was valued at $12,000 under this approach.

•

The Company valued technology using the income approach, specifically the relief from royalty method. Under this method, the asset value was determined by estimating the hypothetical royalties that would have to be paid if the technology was not owned. Royalty rates were selected based on consideration of several factors, including prior transactions of the HHI Business, related licensing agreements and the importance of the technology and profit levels, among other considerations. Royalty rates used in the determination of the fair values of technologies ranged from 4% - 5% of expected Net sales related to the respective technology. The Company anticipates using these technologies through the legal life of the underlying patent; therefore, the expected life of these technologies was equal to the remaining legal life of the underlying patents which was 10 years. In estimating the fair value of the technologies, Net sales were estimated to grow at a rate of 2.5% - 31% annually. Income taxes were estimated at 35% and amounts were discounted using the rate of 12%. The technology assets were valued at $51,000 under this approach.


•	Deferred tax liabilities, net- An adjustment of $124,864 was recorded to adjust deferred taxes for the preliminary fair value adjustments made in accounting for the purchase.

Preliminary Valuation of Assets and Liabilities

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Shaser acquisition have been measured at their fair values at November 8, 2012 as set forth below. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets was recorded as goodwill, which includes value associated with the assembled workforce including an experienced research team, and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The preliminary fair values recorded were determined based upon a preliminary valuation and the estimates and assumptions used in such valuation are subject to change, which could be significant, within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The primary areas of acquisition accounting that are not yet finalized relate to amounts for income taxes including deferred tax accounts, uncertain tax positions and net operating loss carryforwards inclusive of associated limitations and valuation allowances, certain legal matters and residual goodwill.

The preliminary fair values recorded for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for Shaser, including a reconciliation to the preliminary valuation reported as of December 30, 2012, are as follows:



	Preliminary Valuation December 30, 2012			Adjustments / reclassifications			Preliminary Valuation June 30, 2013
Cash	$	870		$	—		$	870
Intangible asset	35,500			(2,700		)	32,800
Other assets	2,679			—			2,679
Total assets acquired	$	39,049		$	(2,700	)	$	36,349
Total liabilities assumed	14,398			(962		)	13,436
Total identifiable net assets	24,651			(1,738		)	22,913
Non-controlling interest	(38,954		)	—			(38,954		)
Goodwill	63,880			1,738			65,618
Total identifiable net assets	$	49,577		$	—		$	49,577

During the three month period ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded adjustments to the preliminary valuation of assets and liabilities resulting in a net increase to goodwill of $1,738. Goodwill increased as a result of further information to support a key valuation factor that impacted the valuation of the technology asset acquired. This revised information was provided by Shaser during the period. The Company believes that information gathered to date provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, but the Company is waiting for additional information necessary to finalize those fair values. Thus, the provisional measurements of fair value set forth above are subject to further change. The Company expects to complete the purchase accounting process as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

Preliminary Pre-Acquisition Contingencies Assumed

The Company has evaluated and continues to evaluate pre-acquisition contingencies relating to Shaser that existed as of the acquisition date. Based on the evaluation to date, the Company has preliminarily determined that certain pre-acquisition contingencies are probable in nature and estimable as of the acquisition date. Accordingly, the Company has preliminarily recorded its best estimates for these contingencies as part of the preliminary purchase accounting for Shaser. The Company continues to gather information relating to all pre-acquisition contingencies that it has assumed from Shaser. Any changes to the pre-acquisition contingency amounts recorded during the measurement period will be included in the final valuation and related amounts recognized. Subsequent to the end of the measurement period, any adjustments to pre-acquisition contingency amounts will be reflected in the Company's results of operations.

Preliminary Valuation Adjustments

The Company performed a preliminary valuation of the acquired proprietary technology assets, the non-controlling interest and the Call Option related to Shaser at November 8, 2012. A summary of the significant key inputs is as follows:


•	The Company valued the technology assets using the income approach, specifically the relief from royalty method. Under this method, the asset value was determined by estimating the hypothetical royalties that would have to be paid if the technology was not owned. Royalty rates were selected based

on consideration of several factors, including prior transactions of Shaser, related licensing agreements and the importance of the technology and profit levels, among other considerations. The royalty rate used in the determination of the fair value of the technology asset was 10.5% of expected Net sales related to the technology. The Company anticipates using the technology through the legal life of the underlying patent and therefore the expected life of the technology was equal to the remaining legal life of the underlying patent which was 13 years. In estimating the fair value of the technology, Net sales were estimated to grow at a long-term rate of 3% annually. Income taxes were estimated at 35% and amounts were discounted using the rate of 11%. The technology asset was valued at approximately $32,800 under this approach.

•

The Company valued the non-controlling interest in Shaser, a private company, by applying both income and market approaches. Under these methods, the non-controlling value was determined by using a discounted cash flow method, a guideline companies method, and a recent transaction approach. In estimating the fair value of the non-controlling interest, key assumptions include (i) cash flow projections based on market participant data and estimates by Company management, with Net sales estimated to grow at a terminal growth rate of 3% annually, income taxes estimated at 35%, and amounts discounted using a rate of 12%, (ii) financial multiples of companies deemed to be similar to Shaser, and (iii) adjustments because of lack of control or lack of marketability that market participants would consider when estimating the fair value of the non-controlling interest in Shaser. The non-controlling interest was valued at $38,954 under this approach.

•

The Company, in connection with valuing the non-controlling interest in Shaser, also valued the Call Option. In addition to the valuation methods and key assumptions discussed above, the Company compared the forecasted revenue and EBITDA multiples, as defined, associated with the Call Option to current guideline companies. The Call Option was determined to have an immaterial value under this approach.

16 NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Presentation of Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new accounting guidance which requires entities to present net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. The guidance requiring disclosure of the income statement location where gains and losses reclassified out of comprehensive income are included was deferred in December 2011. In November 2012, the FASB clarified its position on the reclassification disclosures, allowing disclosure of reclassification adjustments on the face of the comprehensive income statement or in the notes to the financial statements. The accounting guidance requiring a comprehensive income statement is now effective for the Company. The Company has implemented all required disclosures.

Global consumer battery sales decreased $4 million, or 2%, during the Fiscal 2013 Quarter versus the Fiscal 2012 Quarter. Excluding the negative foreign exchange impacts of $1 million, global consumer battery sales decreased $3 million, or 1%. The decline in global consumer battery sales on a constant currency basis was driven by the non-recurrence of Fiscal 2012 Quarter promotions and inventory management at key retailers, tempered by new customer listings and expansion into new channels. Global consumer battery sales decreased $7 million, or 1%, during the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months compared to the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months. Excluding the impact of negative foreign exchange of $8 million, global consumer battery sales increased $1 million. The slight constant currency increase in global consumer battery sales was primarily attributable to new customer listings, expansion into new channels and increased portable lighting sales due to successful new product offerings and severe weather in the U.S., tempered by the non-recurrence of promotions and inventory management at key customers discussed above for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter.

Small appliance sales decreased $4 million, or 3%, during the Fiscal 2013 Quarter compared to the Fiscal 2012 Quarter, driven by decreased North American sales of $5 million, partially offset by increased Latin American sales of $1 million. Decreased North American sales were attributable to the planned exit of low margin products which accounted for a decrease of nearly $10 million in sales, driving an improvement in gross margin of nearly 350 basis points for the product line, tempered by strong sales at key customers. Gains within Latin America were driven by increased seasonal promotions. Small appliances sales decreased $33 million, or 6%, during the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months versus the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months, primarily attributable to declines in North American and Latin American sales of $42 million and $1 million, respectively, partially offset by a $10 million increase in European small appliance sales. The North American sales declines were attributable to the planned exit of certain low margin products. Strong small appliances sales in Europe were driven by market share gains in the United Kingdom, regional expansion in both Eastern and Western Europe and successful new product lines.

Pet supply sales decreased $1 million, or 1%, during the Fiscal 2013 Quarter, attributable to negative foreign currency exchange impacts of $2 million, partially offset by increased aquatics sales of $1 million. The gain in aquatics sales resulted from increased aquarium starter kits and systems sales in North America, tempered by decreased tropical food and outdoor pond product sales in Europe driven by a cooler spring. Pet supply sales increased $8 million, or 2%, during the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months versus the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months, attributable to increased companion animal sales of $14 million, tempered by a $2 million decline in aquatics sales and $4 million of negative foreign currency impacts. Gains in companion animal sales were driven by growth in the Dingo brand, increased litter pan sales in North America and the inclusion of FURminator sales for the full period as the acquisition was completed on December 22, 2011. The decline in aquatic sales is a result of the previously mentioned decline in tropical food and outdoor pond product sales in Europe, partially offset by strong starter kit and system sales in North America.

Home and garden control product sales decreased $10 million, or 6%, during the Fiscal 2013 Quarter compared to the Fiscal 2012 Quarter, driven by a $15 million decline in household insect control sales, partially offset by a $5 million increase in lawn and garden control sales, which was driven by the late arrival of warm weather in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013 ("Fiscal 2013") resulting in a delay to the major selling season for these products. Lawn and garden controls began to recover in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter driving quarter over quarter increases in this category. Home and garden product sales decreased $11 million, or 4%, in the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months versus the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months, driven by the delayed start to the selling season discussed for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter, tempered by gains in the first quarter of Fiscal 2013 from new retail distribution, inclusion of Black Flag sales for the full period, as the acquisition was completed on October 31, 2011, and retail replenishment following strong sales in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 ("Fiscal 2012").

Electric personal care sales were flat in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter compared to the Fiscal 2012 Quarter. Geographically, European sales increased $4 million, driven by additional distribution channels and new innovative products, which was offset by $3 million and $1 million decreases in Latin American and North American sales, respectively. The declines in Latin America were a result of decreased promotions and lower sales to customers who export to Venezuela, partially offset by distribution gains in Brazil and Central America. Electric personal care sales increased $2 million, or 1%, in the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months versus the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months, resulting from a sales increase of $6 million in Europe, driven by the factors described above for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter, coupled with additional customer gains. The gains were tempered by a $3 million decline in Latin American sales, also driven by the factors discussed above, and negative foreign exchange impacts of $1 million.

During the Fiscal 2013 Quarter, electric shaving and grooming product sales decreased $1 million, or 2%, due to a $4 million decrease in North American sales, tempered by a $3 million increase in European sales. The declines in North American sales resulted from decreased retail space available for the product category at a major retailer and customer inventory management; whereas, European sales gains were driven by successful new product launches and promotions. Electric shaving and grooming product sales decreased $7 million, or 3%, during the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months compared to the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months, attributable to an $11 million decline in North American sales, a $1 million decline in Latin American sales and $1 million of negative foreign currency impacts, partially offset by a $6 million increase in European sales. North American sales declines were driven by labor disruptions at U.S. ports of entry during the peak holiday period coupled with the factors discussed above for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter, while European sales gains were driven by successful new product launches, promotions and customer gains. The decrease in Latin American sales was driven by lower sales to customers who export to Venezuela and import restrictions in Argentina, tempered by expansion in Brazil driven by successful new product launches and distribution gains.

Hardware and home improvement sales were $285 million during the Fiscal 2013 Quarter and $576 million for the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months, reflecting the results of the HHI Business, excluding TLM Taiwan, subsequent to the acquisition on December 17, 2012. The results of TLM Taiwan are reflected subsequent to April 8, 2013.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter was $383 million versus $292 million for the Fiscal 2012 Quarter. The HHI Business contributed $101 million in Gross profit. Our gross profit margin for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter decreased to 35.1% from 35.4% in the Fiscal 2012 Quarter. The decrease in gross profit margin was driven by unfavorable product mix and increased product costs.

Gross profit for the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months was $994 million versus $836 million for the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months. The increase in gross profit was driven by the acquisition of the HHI Business which contributed $169 million in Gross profit in the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months. Our gross profit margin for the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months decreased to 33.7% from 34.5% in the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months. The decrease in gross profit margin was driven by a $31 million increase to cost of goods sold due to the sale of inventory which was revalued in connection with the acquisition of the HHI Business, which more than offset improvements to gross profit resulting from the exit of low margin products in our small appliances category.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter totaled $267 million compared to $197 million for the Fiscal 2012 Quarter, representing an increase of $70 million. The increase in operating expenses during the Fiscal 2013 Quarter is primarily attributable to the acquisition of the HHI Business which accounted for $59 million in operating expenses and led to a $3 million increase in Acquisition and integration related charges. Furthermore, we incurred a $10 million increase in Restructuring and related charges primarily attributable to the Global Expense Rationalization Initiative announced in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter and an increase in stock compensation expense of $13 million, tempered by $14 million in savings across all segments from our cost reduction initiatives and positive foreign exchange impacts of $1 million.

Operating expenses for the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months totaled $758 million compared to $602 million for the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months. The $156 million increase in operating expenses during the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months is primarily attributable to the acquisition of the HHI Business which accounted for $124 million in operating expenses and led to a $20 million increase in Acquisition and integration related charges. Furthermore, we incurred a $16 million increase in Restructuring and related charges and an increase in stock compensation expense of $17 million, tempered by $17 million in savings across all segments from our cost reduction initiatives and positive foreign exchange impacts of $4 million.

See “Acquisition and Integration Related Charges” below, as well as Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies—Acquisition and Integration Related Charges," to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding our Acquisition and integration related charges.

Segment Results. As discussed above, we manage our business in four reportable segments: (i) Global Batteries & Appliances; (ii) Global Pet Supplies; (iii) our Home and Garden Business; and (iv) Hardware & Home Improvement.

The operating segment profits do not include restructuring and related charges, acquisition and integration related charges, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense. Corporate expenses primarily include general and administrative expenses and global long-term incentive compensation plans which are evaluated on a consolidated basis and not allocated to our operating segments. All depreciation and amortization included in income from operations is related to operating segments or corporate expense. Costs are allocated to operating segments or corporate expense according to the function of each cost center.

All capital expenditures are related to operating segments. Variable allocations of assets are not made for segment reporting.

Financial information pertaining to our reportable segments is contained in Note 12, “Segment Results,” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") is a metric used by management and frequently used by the financial community which provides insight into an organization’s operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies, since interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA can also be a useful measure of a company’s ability to service debt and is one of the measures used for determining our debt covenant compliance. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items that are unusual in nature or not comparable from period to period. While we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace our Generally Accepted Accounting Principles’ (“GAAP”) financial results and should be read in conjunction with those GAAP results.

Below are reconciliations of GAAP Net income (loss), as adjusted, to Adjusted Earnings Before Interest and Taxes ("EBIT") and to Adjusted EBITDA for each segment and for Consolidated SB Holdings for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter, the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months, the Fiscal 2012 Quarter and the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months:

Segment net sales to external customers in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter decreased $9 million to $492 million from $501 million during the Fiscal 2012 Quarter, a 2% decrease. Global Batteries & Appliances sales declines were attributable to decreases of $4 million in small appliances, $3 million in consumer batteries and $1 million in the electric shaving and grooming product category, coupled with $1 million of negative foreign exchange impacts. In small appliances, North American sales declines of $5 million more than offset gains of $1 million in Latin America. The decrease in North American sales resulted from management initiatives to exit low margin products, driving a nearly $10 million decrease in sales with an overall increase in profitability as a percentage of net sales for the product category, tempered by strong sales to key customers. Gains in Latin America were driven by increased seasonal promotions. The decline in global consumer battery sales on a constant currency basis was driven by the non-recurrence of Fiscal 2012 Quarter promotions and inventory management at key vendors, partially offset by new customer listings and expansion into new channels. Electric shaving and grooming sales decreased $1 million, resulting from a decrease of $4 million in North America, primarily attributable to decreased retail space available for the product category at a major customer coupled with retailer inventory management. These sales decreases were tempered by a $3 million increase in electric shaving and grooming sales in Europe due to successful new product launches and promotions. Electric personal care sales were flat in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter compared to the Fiscal 2012 Quarter.

Segment net sales to external customers in the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months decreased $44 million to $1,626 million from $1,670 million during the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months, a 3% decrease, driven by a $33 million decrease in small appliance sales, a $6 million decrease in electric shaving and grooming sales and $9 million of negative foreign exchange impacts. These declines were partially offset by increases of $3 million and $1 million in electric personal care sales and consumer batteries, respectively. The decline in small appliance sales was predominately driven by North American sales declines of $42 million and sales declines in Latin America of $1 million, partially offset by European sales gains of $10 million. The decrease in North American sales was driven by the same factors discussed above for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter. The sales declines in Latin American small appliance sales were attributable to a reduction in sales to customers who export to Venezuela, tempered by the sales gains discussed above for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter. Gains in European small appliance sales were driven by increased market share in the United Kingdom, regional expansion in Eastern and Western Europe and successful new product lines. The $6 million decrease in electric shaving and grooming sales was attributable to an $11 million decrease in North American sales driven by labor disruptions at U.S. ports of entry during the peak holiday period coupled with the factors discussed above for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter. Electric shaving and grooming sales also decreased $1 million in Latin America due to a decrease in sales to customers who export to Venezuela and import restrictions in Argentina, tempered by expansion in Brazil driven by successful new product launches and distribution gains. These sales declines were tempered by sales gains in the electric shaving and grooming category in Europe of $6 million resulting from successful new product launches, promotions and customer gains. Electric personal care sales increased $3 million in the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months compared to the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months, driven by an increase of $6 million in Europe resulting from new customer gains, partially offset by a sales decline of $3 million in Latin America, attributable to the factors discussed above for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter. Global consumer battery sales increased $1 million in the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months compared to the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months, driven by new customer listings, expansion into new channels and increased portable lighting sales as a result of successful new product offerings and severe weather in the U.S., tempered by the declines discussed above for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter.

Segment profit in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter decreased to $45 million from $47 million in the Fiscal 2012 Quarter. Segment profitability as a percentage of net sales decreased to 9.1% in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter compared to 9.4% in the Fiscal 2012 Quarter. The decrease in segment profit and profitability as a percent of sales was driven by decreased sales, unfavorable product mix and pricing pressures in the U.S., partially offset by cost improvements.

Segment profit in the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months decreased to $182 million from $186 million in the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months, primarily attributable to unfavorable product mix and pricing pressures in the U.S, coupled with the decrease in sales. Segment profitability as a percentage of net sales increased to 11.2% in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter versus 11.1% in the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months, driven by the exit of low margin products in the small appliances category, which offset the unfavorable mix and pricing pressures in the U.S.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter decreased to $59 million from $62 million in the Fiscal 2012 Quarter while segment Adjusted EBITDA in the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months decreased to $227 million from $230 million in the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months. The decrease in segment Adjusted EBITDA for both periods was driven by the factors discussed above for the decline in segment profit for each respective period.

Segment assets at June 30, 2013 decreased to $2,214 million from $2,243 million at September 30, 2012. The decrease is primarily due to the acquisition of Shaser, more than offset by a changes in working capital. Goodwill and intangible assets, which are a direct result of the revaluation impacts of fresh-start reporting which occurred during the year ended September 30, 2009 ("Fiscal 2009") and acquisitions, increased to $1,319 million at June 30, 2013 from $1,261 million at September 30, 2012, primarily due to the acquisition of Shaser.

Segment net sales to external customers in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter decreased $1 million to $156 million compared to $157 million in the Fiscal 2012 Quarter, driven by negative foreign currency impacts of $2 million, partially offset by a $1 million increase in aquatics sales. The increase in aquatics sales resulted from strong aquarium starter kit and systems sales in North America, tempered by lower aquatic nutrition and water care product sales related to outdoor ponds in Europe attributable to a cooler spring. Segment net sales to external customers in the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months increased $8 million to $457 million compared to $449 million in the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months led by increased companion animal sales of $14 million, driven by growth in the Dingo brand, increased litter pan sales in North America and the FURminator acquisition. The increase in companion animal sales was tempered by a $2 million decline in aquatics sales, primarily due to decreased sales for aquatic nutrition and pond water care products in Europe. Foreign currency exchange negatively impacted pet supply sales in the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months by $4 million.

Segment profit increased to $27 million in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter compared to $22 million in the Fiscal 2012 Quarter, and segment profitability as a percentage of sales in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter increased to 17.0% from 14.3% in Fiscal 2012 Quarter, resulting from cost improvements and operating expense reductions, which offset product cost increases.

Segment profit increased $5 million to $63 million in the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months compared to $58 million in the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months. Segment profitability as a percentage of sales in the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months increased to 13.8%, compared to 12.9% in the same period last year. The increase in segment profit and profitability as a percentage of sales was driven by increased sales and the factors discussed above for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter, tempered by increased cost of goods sold during the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months resulting from unfavorable manufacturing variances driven by plant shutdowns during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2012.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter increased $3 million, to $33 million, from $30 million in the Fiscal 2012 Quarter. Segment Adjusted EBITDA in the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months increased $7 million, to $84 million from $77 million in the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by the factors discussed above for segment profit.

Segment assets at June 30, 2013 increased to $959 million from $956 million at September 30, 2012. Goodwill and intangible assets, which are substantially the result of the revaluation impacts of fresh-start reporting during Fiscal 2009 and acquisitions, decreased slightly to $699 million at June 30, 2013 from $715 million at September 30, 2012.

Segment net sales to external customers decreased $10 million, or 6%, during the Fiscal 2013 Quarter, to $157 million, compared to $167 million in the Fiscal 2012 Quarter, resulting from a $15 million decline in household insect control sales, driven by the late arrival of warm weather in Fiscal 2013, which delayed the major selling season for this product category. In household insect control sales, retail orders and July point of sales information appears to point to a strong fourth quarter performance in this category for Fiscal 2013 compared to the prior year. Declines in household insect sales were tempered by a $5 million increase in lawn and garden control sales, as this category began to recover from the late start of the selling season. Segment net sales to external customers decreased $11 million, or 4%, during the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months, to $289 million, compared to $300 million in the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months, resulting from a $10 million decrease in household insect sales coupled with a $1 million decrease in lawn and garden control sales. The decrease in household insect control sales was driven by the factors discussed above for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter, tempered by gains in retail distribution and the Black Flag acquisition. The decline in lawn and garden control sales is attributable to the late arrival of warm weather discussed above, which drove down sales earlier in the year.

Segment profitability in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter declined $1 million, to $43 million, from $44 million in the Fiscal 2012 Quarter driven by the decrease in sales for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter, tempered by strong operating expense management. Segment profitability as a percentage of sales in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter improved to 27.5%, from 26.5% in the same period last year.

Segment profitability in the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months decreased $1 million, to $60 million, from $61 million in the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months. Segment profitability as a percentage of sales in the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months improved to 20.6%, from 20.1% in the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months, attributable to the factors discussed above for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $46 million in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter, a decrease of $1 million compared to segment Adjusted EBITDA of $47 million in the Fiscal 2012 Quarter, driven by decreased sales due to the late arrival of warm weather, tempered by cost and operating expense improvements.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA declined $2 million to $68 million in the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months compared to segment Adjusted EBITDA of $70 million in the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months, resulting from the factors discussed above for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter.

Segment assets at June 30, 2013 increased to $543 million from $508 million at September 30, 2012. The increase in segment assets was driven by a normal seasonal increases in inventory and accounts receivable in conjunction with the start of our major selling season. Goodwill and intangible assets, which are substantially a result of the revaluation impacts of fresh-start reporting during Fiscal 2009 and acquisitions, decreased to $427 million at June 30, 2013, from $433 million at September 30, 2012, driven by amortization of intangible assets.

Results of the HHI Business, reported as a separate business segment, Hardware & Home Improvement, relate to operations from the acquisition date, December 17, 2012, through the end of the Fiscal 2013 Quarter.

Segment net sales to external customers were $285 million during the Fiscal 2013 Quarter, an increase of 12.7 percent compared to $253 million as if the HHI Business was combined with Spectrum Brands in the Fiscal 2012 Quarter. The revenue growth was driven by double-digit improvements in the HHI Business' U.S. residential security and plumbing categories. Segment net sales to external customers were $576 million in the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months, or $768 million on a proforma basis compared to pro forma sales of $717 million in the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months, as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of both periods. The Fiscal 2013 Nine Months sales growth was driven by the improvements discussed above in the U.S. residential security and plumbing categories for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter.

Segment profit in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter and the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months was $43 million and $46 million, respectively. Segment profitability as a percentage of sales in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter and the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months was 15.1% and 8.1%, respectively. Decreased segment profitability as a percentage of sales in the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months was driven by by a $31 million increase to cost of goods sold due to the sale of inventory which was revalued in connection with the acquisition.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $53 million in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter and $127 million in the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months.

Segment assets at June 30, 2013 were $1,787 million. Goodwill and intangible assets were $1,194 million at June 30, 2013.

See Note 15, “Acquisitions” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the HHI Business acquisition.

Corporate Expense. Our corporate expense was $21 million in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter compared to $9 million in the Fiscal 2012 Quarter, primarily attributable to a $13 million increase in stock based compensation expense. Corporate expense as a percentage of consolidated net sales for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter increased to 1.9% versus 1.1% for the Fiscal 2012 Quarter, driven by the increase in stock compensation expense discussed above.

Our corporate expense was $46 million in the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months compared to $33 million in the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months. This increase is primarily attributable to a $17 million increase in stock based compensation expense, tempered by operating expense improvements. Corporate expense as a percentage of consolidated net sales for the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months increased to 1.6% versus 1.4% for the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months, driven by the increase in stock compensation expense discussed above.

Acquisition and Integration Related Charges. Acquisition and integration related charges include, but are not limited to, transaction costs such as banking, legal and accounting professional fees directly related to acquisitions, termination and related costs for transitional and certain other employees, integration related professional fees and other post business combination related expenses associated with our acquisitions. See Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies - Acquisition and Integration Related Charges" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further detail regarding our Acquisition and integration related charges.

Restructuring and Related Charges. See Note 13, “Restructuring and Related Charges” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information regarding our restructuring and related charges.

Interest Expense. Interest expense in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter was $62 million compared to $40 million in the Fiscal 2012 Quarter. The $22 million increase in interest expense in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter is primarily related to an increase of approximately $21 million in interest expense related to additional debt financing incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of the HHI Business.

Interest expense in the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months was $192 million compared to $150 million in the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months. The increase in interest expense in the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months of $42 million is primarily due to $29 million in costs incurred related to the financing of the acquisition of the HHI Business coupled with the corresponding $21 million of quarterly interest expense discussed above, partially offset by the non-recurrence of costs incurred in connection with the replacement of our 12% Notes, savings related to the refinancing of the 12% Notes and lower other debt. Expenses related to the financing included: (i) $13 million of cash costs related to bridge financing commitments; (ii) $6 million of cash costs related to interest on the 6.375% Notes and the 6.625% Notes incurred while in escrow prior to the closing of the acquisition; (iii) $2 million of cash costs related to a fee on the Term Loan incurred prior to the closing of the transaction; (iv) $3 million related to cash costs for underwriting, legal, accounting and other fees; and (v) $5 million of non-cash costs for the write off of unamortized deferred financing fees and original issue discount on the former term loan facility that was refinanced in connection with the acquisition. See Note 7, “Debt,” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding our outstanding debt.

Income Taxes. Our effective tax rates for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter and the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months were 29% and 151%, respectively. Our effective tax rates for the Fiscal 2012 Quarter and the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months were (10)% and 47%, respectively. Our effective tax rates differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% principally due to: (i) losses in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can be recognized due to full valuation allowances that have been provided on our net operating loss carryforward tax benefits and other deferred tax assets; (ii) deferred income tax expense related to the change in book versus tax basis of indefinite lived intangibles, which are amortized for tax purposes but not for book purposes, and (iii) the reversal in the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months of U.S. valuation allowances of $49 million on deferred

Table of Contents

tax assets as a result of the acquisition of the HHI Business and the reversal in the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months of U.S. valuation allowances of $14 million on deferred tax assets as a result of the FURminator acquisition. Additionally, in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter and the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months, the pretax consolidated income was close to break even, resulting in a higher effective tax rate.

In light of our plans to voluntarily pay down our U.S. debt, fund U.S. acquisitions and our ongoing U.S. operational cash flow requirements, subsequent to October 1, 2011, we are not treating current earnings as permanently reinvested, except for locations precluded by local legal restrictions from repatriating earnings. Due to the valuation allowance recorded against U.S. net deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards, we do not recognize any incremental U.S. tax expense on the expected future repatriation of foreign earnings. Should the U.S. valuation allowance be released at some future date, the U.S. tax on foreign earnings not permanently reinvested might have a material effect on our effective tax rate. For Fiscal 2013, we project approximately $4 million of additional tax expense from non-U.S. withholding and other taxes expected to be incurred on repatriation of current earnings.

As a result of the purchase of the HHI Business, we reversed $49 million of U.S. valuation allowances during the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months. The reversal was attributable to a preliminary estimate of $49 million of net deferred tax liabilities recorded on the HHI opening balance sheets in purchase accounting that offset other U.S. net deferred tax assets. The determination of the final fair values associated with the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the HHI Business acquisition could result in adjustments to the deferred tax liabilities recognized and have a material effect on the final amount of our reversal of U.S. valuation allowances recognized during the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months. See Note 15, “Acquisitions” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the preliminary deferred tax estimates.

As a result of the purchase of FURminator, we released $14 million of U.S. valuation allowance during the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months. The release was attributable to $14 million of net deferred tax liabilities recorded on the FURminator opening balance sheet in purchase accounting that offset other U.S. net deferred tax assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities

For the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months, cash used by operating activities totaled $76 million compared to cash used of $62 million during the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months. The $14 million increase in cash used by operating activities was primarily due to:


•	A $53 million use of cash for working capital and other items driven by an increase in accounts receivable, decrease in accrued payroll and a net increase from changes in other assets and liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in inventory;


•	Higher cash payments for interest of $48 million driven by the financing of the HHI Business acquisition;


•	Higher cash payments for acquisition and integration activities of $18 million; and


•	Higher cash payments for income taxes of $5 million related to the HHI Business acquisition;

These cash uses were partially offset by


•	Higher Adjusted EBITDA of $102 million, excluding pre-acquisition earnings of the HHI Business and;


•	Lower cash payments for restructuring of $8 million.

We expect to fund our cash requirements, including capital expenditures, interest and principal payments due in Fiscal 2013 through a combination of cash on hand and cash flows from operations and available borrowings under our ABL revolving credit facility (the "ABL Facility"). Going forward, our ability to satisfy financial and other covenants in our senior credit agreements and senior unsecured indentures and to make scheduled payments or prepayments on our debt and other financial obligations will depend on our future financial and operating performance. There can be no assurances that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future borrowings under our ABL Facility will be available in an amount sufficient to satisfy our debt maturities or to fund our other liquidity needs.

Table of Contents

Subsequent to October 1, 2011, we are not treating current earnings as permanently reinvested. At June 30, 2013, there are no significant foreign cash balances available for repatriation. For the remainder of Fiscal 2013, we expect to generate between $20 million and $25 million of foreign cash that we expect will be repatriated for general corporate purposes.

See Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, for further discussion of the risks associated with our ability to service all of our existing indebtedness, our ability to maintain compliance with financial and other covenants related to our indebtedness and the impact of the current economic crisis.

Investing Activities

Net cash used by investing activities was $1,446 million for the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months compared to $218 million for the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months. The $1,228 million increase in cash used by investing activities in the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months is driven by an increase in cash used for acquisitions of $1,217 million, which related to the $1,351 million purchase, net of cash acquired, of the HHI Business, and the $49 million purchase, net of cash acquired, of Shaser, versus the $139 million, net of cash acquired, purchase of FURminator and the $44 million acquisition of Black Flag in the Fiscal 2012 Nine Months. The remaining $11 million increase in cash used by investing activities resulted from a $12 million increase in capital expenditures, tempered by a slight decrease in other investing activities.

Financing Activities

Debt Financing

At June 30, 2013 we had the following debt instruments: (i) a senior secured term loan (the “Term Loan”) pursuant to a senior credit agreement (the “Senior Credit Agreement”) ; (ii) 9.5% secured notes (the “9.5% Notes”); (iii) 6.375% unsecured notes (the “6.375% Notes”); (iv) 6.625% unsecured notes (the “6.625% Notes”); (v) 6.75% unsecured notes (the “6.75% Notes”); and (vi) a $400 million ABL Facility.

At June 30, 2013, the aggregate amount of principal outstanding under our debt instruments was as follows: (i) $757 million under the Term Loan, maturing December 17, 2019; (ii) $950 million under the 9.5% Notes, maturing June 15, 2018; (iii) $520 million under the 6.375% Notes, maturing November 15, 2020; (iv) $570 million under the 6.625% Notes, maturing November 15, 2022; (v) $300 million under the 6.75% Notes, maturing March 15, 2020; and (vi) $70 million under the ABL Facility, expiring May 24, 2017.

At June 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Senior Credit Agreement, the indenture governing the 9.5% Notes, the indenture governing the 6.375% Notes and the 6.625% Notes, the indenture governing the 6.75% Notes and the credit agreement governing the ABL Facility (the "ABL Credit Agreement").

From time to time we may repurchase our existing indebtedness, including outstanding securities of Spectrum Brands or its subsidiaries, in the open market or otherwise.

See Note 7, “Debt,” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding our outstanding debt.

Interest Payments and Fees

In addition to principal payments on our debt obligations mentioned above, we have annual interest payment obligations of approximately $218 million in the aggregate. This includes interest under our 9.5% Notes of approximately $90 million, interest under our 6.375% Notes of approximately $33 million, interest under our 6.625% Notes of approximately $38 million and interest under our 6.75% Notes of approximately $20 million and, based on principal amounts currently outstanding under these facilities, and using market interest rates and foreign exchange rates in effect at June 30, 2013, this also includes interest under our Term Loan and ABL Facility of approximately $35 million and $2 million, respectively. Interest on our debt is payable in cash. Interest on the 9.5% Notes, the 6.375% Notes, the 6.625% Notes and the 6.75% Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears and interest under the Term Loan and the ABL Facility is payable on various interest payment dates as provided in the Senior Credit Agreement and the ABL Credit Agreement. We are required to pay certain fees in connection with our outstanding debt obligations. Such fees include a quarterly commitment fee of up to 0.375% on the unused portion of the ABL Facility and certain additional fees with respect to the letter of credit sub-facility under the ABL Facility.

Equity Financing Activities

During the Fiscal 2013 Nine Months, we granted 666 thousand shares of restricted stock to our employees and our directors. All vesting dates are subject to the recipient’s continued employment with us, except as otherwise permitted by our Board of Directors, or in certain cases if the employee is terminated without cause. The total market value of the restricted

Table of Contents

shares on the date of grant was approximately $30 million, which represented unearned restricted stock compensation. Unearned compensation is amortized to expense over the appropriate vesting period.

From time to time we may repurchase our outstanding shares of Common Stock in the open market or otherwise.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations and commercial commitments as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2012.

Critical Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and fairly present our financial position and results of operations. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or critical accounting estimates as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2012.


Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk Factors

We have market risk exposure from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. We, when appropriate, use derivative financial instruments to mitigate the risk from such exposures.

A discussion of our accounting policies for derivative financial instruments is included in Note 8, Derivative Financial Instruments, to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Interest Rate Risk

We have bank lines of credit at variable interest rates. The general level of U.S. and Canadian interest rates, LIBOR, CDOR and Euro LIBOR affect interest expense. We periodically use interest rate swaps to manage such risk. The net amounts to be paid or received under interest rate swap agreements are accrued as interest rates change, and are recognized over the life of the swap agreements as an adjustment to interest expense from the underlying debt to which the swap is designated. The related amounts payable to, or receivable from, the contract counter-parties are included in accrued liabilities or accounts receivable. At June 30, 2013, there were no outstanding interest rate derivative instruments.

Foreign Exchange Risk

We are subject to risk from sales and loans to and from our subsidiaries as well as sales to, purchases from and bank lines of credit with third-party customers, suppliers and creditors, respectively, denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign currency sales and purchases are made primarily in Euro, Pounds Sterling, Mexican Pesos, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars and Brazilian Reals. We manage our foreign exchange exposure from anticipated sales, accounts receivable, intercompany loans, firm purchase commitments, accounts payable and credit obligations through the use of naturally occurring offsetting positions (borrowing in local currency), forward foreign exchange contracts, foreign exchange rate swaps and foreign exchange options. The related amounts payable to, or receivable from, the contract counter-parties are included in accounts payable or accounts receivable.

Commodity Price Risk

We are exposed to fluctuations in market prices for purchases of zinc and brass used in our manufacturing processes. We use commodity swaps and calls to manage such risk. The maturity of, and the quantities covered by, the contracts are closely correlated to our anticipated purchases of the commodity. The cost of calls is amortized over the life of the contracts and recorded in cost of goods sold, along with the effects of the swap and call contracts. The related amounts payable to, or receivable from, the counter-parties are included in accounts payable or accounts receivable.

Sensitivity Analysis

Table of Contents

The analysis below is hypothetical and should not be considered a projection of future risks. Earnings projections are before tax.

At June 30, 2013, there were no outstanding interest rate derivative instruments.

At June 30, 2013, the potential change in fair value of outstanding foreign exchange derivative instruments, assuming a 10% unfavorable change in the underlying exchange rates, would be a loss of $32 million. The net impact on reported earnings, after also including the effect of the change in the underlying foreign currency-denominated exposures, would be a net gain of $19 million.

At June 30, 2013, the potential change in fair value of outstanding commodity price derivative instruments, assuming a 10% unfavorable change in the underlying commodity prices, would be a loss of $2 million. The net impact on reported earnings, after also including the reduction in cost of one year’s purchases of the related commodities due to the same change in commodity prices, would be a gain of $1 million.


Item 4.	Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) pursuant to Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
