For the three months ended June 30, 2008, net income was $43.0 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, compared to net income of $16.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, in the three months ended June 30, 2007. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted net income was $54.8 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $44.5 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2007.

"Jarden posted an outstanding second quarter in a difficult macro economic environment," said Martin E. Franklin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Jarden Corporation. "By any key measure, whether organic sales growth, gross margin expansion, free cash flow, working capital improvements, liquidity and positive momentum, we achieved our macro goals. It was particularly satisfying to deliver organic sales growth in each of our primary business segments and we anticipate continuing to grow sales organically in the second half of 2008. The defensive nature of our diversified business model is proving that market leading brands coupled with innovative, value driven products can win even in this very tough economy."
Mr. Franklin continued, "We are focused on continuing to execute well in the back half of the year, without cutting back on our investment spend on new product development and marketing that will help drive our success in future years. While we are not immune to the significant headwinds of rising costs and consumer softness affecting many companies in the consumer space, our goal is to take full advantage of the current turmoil to consolidate our leadership positions in the niche markets we serve and reinforce the relevancy of our brands and products to our customers."
The Company will be holding a conference call at 9:45 a.m. EDT today, July 29, 2008, to further discuss its results and respond to questions. The call will be accessible via a webcast through the Company's website at www.jarden.com and will be archived online until August 12, 2008.

Jarden Corporation
Notes to Earnings Release
Note 1: Adjustments relate to items that are excluded from the "as reported" results to arrive at the "Adjusted" results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 adjustments to net income consist of $11.1 million of reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs and $4.0 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets. Also, included in the adjustments to net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 is the tax provision adjustment of $3.3 million which reflects the normalization of the adjusted results to the Company's 36% effective tax rate.
For the three months ended June 30, 2007 adjustments to net income consist of $27.1 million of manufacturer's profit in inventory charged to cost of sales which is the purchase accounting fair value adjustment to inventory associated with the Pure Fishing acquisition; $9.4 million of reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs; $2.6 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets; and $0.9 million for the loss on the early extinguishment of debt. Also, included in the adjustments to net income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 is the tax provision adjustment of $12.2 million which reflects the normalization of the adjusted results to the Company's 36% effective tax rate.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008 adjustments to net income consist of $21.8 million of reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs and $8.0 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets. Also, included in the adjustments to net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 is the tax provision adjustment of $6.2 million which reflects the normalization of the adjusted results to the Company's 36% effective tax rate.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007 adjustments to net income consist of $27.1 million of manufacturer's profit in inventory charged to cost of sales which is the purchase accounting fair value adjustment to inventory associated with the Pure Fishing acquisition; $18.5 million of reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs; $4.3 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets; and $15.7 million for the loss on the early extinguishment of debt. Also, included in the adjustments to net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 is the tax provision adjustment of $22.1 million which reflects the normalization of the adjusted results to the Company's 36% effective tax rate.
Note 2: This earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures. For purposes of Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of income, balance sheets, or statements of cash flows of the Company; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures are provided because management of the Company uses these financial measures in maintaining and evaluating the Company's ongoing financial results and trends. Management uses this non-GAAP information as an indicator of business performance, and evaluates overall management with respect to such indicators. Additionally, the Company uses non-GAAP financial measures because the Company's credit agreement provides for certain adjustments in calculations used for determining whether the Company is in compliance with certain credit agreement covenants, including, but not limited to, adjustments relating to non-cash purchase accounting adjustments, certain reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs, non-cash stock-based compensation costs and loss on early extinguishment of debt. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Note 3: In prior years, the Company had adjusted for non-cash stock compensation costs to derive its adjusted net income. In 2008, the Company no longer adjusts for these costs and therefore, prior year amounts have been restated to conform with the current year presentation. The Company recorded non-cash stock compensation costs of $10.7 million and $17.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $4.7 million and $10.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
