SUPPLEMENTAL REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
 
In this supplemental disclosure, “the Company” refers to Spectrum Brands, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires or it is otherwise indicated, "LTM period" with respect to any date, refers to the last twelve month period ended on such date and "EBITDA" refers to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
 
 
This Supplemental Regulation FD Disclosure contains forward-looking statements, which are based on the Company’s current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, risks and uncertainties relating to the Company's ability to obtain consent of its senior lenders.  Actual results may differ materially as a result of (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the definitive purchase agreement for the sale of the Company's Global Pet Business; (2) the inability to complete the sale of the Company's Global Pet Business due to the failure to receive required regulatory or other approvals or to satisfy other conditions to the sale; (3) the risk that the proposed sale of the Company's Global Pet Business disrupts current plans and operations; (4) difficulty or unanticipated expense incurred in connection with the sale of the Company's Global Pet Business; (5) changes and developments in external competitive market factors, such as introduction of new product features or technological developments, development of new competitors or competitive brands or competitive promotional activity or spending; (6) changes in consumer demand for the various types of products the Company offers; (7) unfavorable developments in the global credit markets; (8) the impact of overall economic conditions on consumer spending; (9) fluctuations in commodities prices, the costs or availability of raw materials or terms and conditions available from suppliers; (10) changes in general economic conditions in the countries and regions where the Company does business, such as stock market prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates, inflation and consumer spending; (11) the Company’s ability to successfully implement manufacturing, distribution and other cost efficiencies and to continue to benefit from its cost-cutting initiatives; and (12) unfavorable weather conditions and various other risks and uncertainties, including those discussed herein and those set forth in the Company’s securities filings, including the most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  The Company cautions the reader that its estimates of trends, market share, retail consumption of its products and reasons for changes in such consumption are based solely on limited data available to the Company and management’s reasonable assumptions about market conditions, and consequently may be inaccurate, or may not reflect significant segments of the retail market. The Company cautions the reader that actual results could differ materially from the expectations described in the forward-looking statements.  The Company also cautions the reader that undue reliance should not be placed on any of the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this disclosure.  The Company undertakes no responsibility to update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this disclosure or to reflect actual outcomes.

Pro Forma Results

 The LTM 3/30/08 net sales mix excluding the Company's Global Pet Business is 23% personal care, 28% home and garden and 49% batteries and lights.  Total LTM 3/30/08 net sales is $2.6 billion with the Company's Global Pet Business and $2.0 billion excluding the Company's Global Pet Business.  Total reported debt as of 3/30/08 for the Company was approximately $2.6 billion or approximately $1.8 billion pro forma following the expected application of proceeds from the sale of the Company's Global Pet Business.
 
The Company's capital expenditures for the fiscal years 2006 and 2007 and LTM 3/30/08 were approximately $60 million, $24 million and $19 million, respectively.  Excluding results from the Company's Global Pet Business, the Company's capital expenditures for the fiscal years 2006 and 2007 and LTM 3/30/08 were approximately $47 million, $15 million and $9 million, respectively.
 
In determining compliance with the Company's senior credit facilities, the Company makes certain adjustments to Adjusted EBITDA.  The Company's Adjusted EBITDA as calculated for purposes of senior covenant compliance for the fiscal years 2006 and 2007 and LTM 3/30/08 were approximately $286 million, $285 million and $306 million, respectively.  Excluding results from the Company's Global Pet Business, the Company's Adjusted EBITDA as calculated for purposes of senior covenant compliance for the fiscal years 2006 and 2007 and LTM 3/30/08 were approximately $193 million, $193 million and $215 million, respectively.  Please see the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIDTA as calculated for purposes of senior covenant compliance to GAAP results set forth below.

 
Total debt to Adjusted EBITDA (as calculated for purposes of senior covenant compliance), net of cash, for the Company for the fiscal years 2006 and 2007 and as of 3/30/08 were 7.8x, 8.3x and 8.4x, respectively.  Following the expected application of proceeds from the sale of the Company's Global Pet Business, total debt to Adjusted EBITDA (as calculated for purposes of senior covenant compliance), net of cash, for the Company as of 3/30/08 decreases from 8.4x (5.0x for senior secured debt and 3.4x for other debt) to 7.9x (4.2x for senior debt and 3.7x for other debt).
 
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
Within this Supplemental Regulation FD Disclosure, reference is made to Adjusted EBITDA.  Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by the Company’s 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 EBIDTA as calculated for purposes of senior covenant compliance is one of the measures used for determining the Company’s debt covenant compliance.  Adjusted EBITDA can also be a useful measure of a company’s ability to service debt.  Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items that are unusual in nature or not comparable from period to period.  While the Company’s management believes that adjusted EBITDA is useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace the Company’s GAAP financial results and should be read in conjunction with those GAAP results.
