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