H.B. Fuller Reports Strong Third Quarter Results,

Company Raises Annual Earnings Expectations

ST. PAUL, Minn. – H.B. Fuller Company (NYSE: FUL) today reported financial results for the third quarter that ended September 1, 2007.

Third Quarter 2007 Highlights Included:

• 21 Percent Year-Over-Year Growth in Diluted Earnings Per Share From Continuing Operations

• 100 Basis Point Expansion Year-Over-Year in Gross Margin to 29.5 Percent

• 190 Basis Point Expansion Year-Over-Year in Operating Profit Margin to 10.7 Percent

• Repurchase of $25 Million in Stock Under the Previously Announced Buy-Back Program

• 2007 Diluted Earnings Per Share From Continuing Operations Now Expected to be $1.75 to $1.78

Net Income and Diluted Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations:

Third quarter net income from continuing operations increased 23 percent to $28.4 million from $23.1 million in the third quarter of last year. Correspondingly, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased to $0.46 per share from $0.38 per share.

“We are very pleased with our strong performance in the third quarter, particularly in light of the further deterioration in the economy,” said Michele Volpi, president and chief executive officer. “Price and mix, together with disciplined cost controls, continue to be the key drivers of profitability growth.”

Net Revenue:

Net revenue for this year’s third quarter was $367.9 million, down 1.1 percent versus the third quarter of 2006. The impact of acquisitions and foreign currency translation, favorably contributed 1.0 and 2.2 percentage points, respectively, to net revenue growth. Average selling prices continued to increase year-over-year and volume declines eased sequentially. Pricing positively impacted net revenue growth by 2.2 percentage points and volume adversely impacted net revenue growth by 6.5 percentage points.

Fiscal Year 2007 Expectations:

Due to the continued improvement in the operating performance of the business, the Company now expects diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to be $0.50 to $0.53 for the fourth quarter and $1.75 to $1.78 for the full year. Previously, the Company expected diluted earnings per share to be at the high end of the range of $1.65 to $1.75 for the full year. The Company now expects fiscal year 2007 capital expenditures to be $20 to $25 million, down from a previous expectation of $20 to $30 million. Additionally, the Company reiterates its previous fiscal year 2007 guidance for depreciation expense to be $35 to $40 million, amortization expense to be $14 to $15 million, and an effective tax rate of 29 percent.

“We are proud of the ability of our associates to execute on the controllable items,” Volpi said. “The momentum we have created in the first three quarters of the year makes us cautiously optimistic for the future, in spite of the weak economy. We believe we have the right strategy in place to further accelerate the transformation of the Company and that gives us the confidence to raise earnings expectations for the year.”

Conference Call:

The Company will host an investor conference call to discuss third quarter 2007 results on Wednesday, September 26, 2007 at 9:30 a.m. central time (10:30 a.m. eastern time).
