NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Footnote 1 — Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Newell Brands Inc. (formerly Newell Rubbermaid Inc., and collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations of the Company. It is recommended that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements, and the footnotes thereto, included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but it does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

Supplemental Information

Interest expense is net of interest income of $0.7 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $1.0 million and $2.4 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Seasonal Variations

Sales of the Company’s products tend to be seasonal, with sales, operating income and operating cash flow in the first quarter generally lower than any other quarter during the year, driven principally by reduced volume and the mix of products sold in the first quarter. The seasonality of the Company’s sales volume combined with the accounting for fixed costs, such as depreciation, amortization, rent, personnel costs and interest expense, impacts the Company’s results on a quarterly basis. In addition, the Company tends to generate the majority of its operating cash flow in the second, third and fourth quarters of the year due to seasonal variations in operating results, the timing of annual performance-based compensation payments, customer program payments, working capital requirements and credit terms provided to customers. Accordingly, the Company’s results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of accounting standards updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Accounting Standard Codification 605 — Revenue Recognition.” ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Accounting Standard Codification 605 — Revenue Recognition” and most industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 requires that entities recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. ASU 2014-09 permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU 2014-09 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, “Income Statement—Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20), Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items,” which simplifies income statement presentation by eliminating the concept of extraordinary items. Previously, events or transactions that were both unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence for a business entity were considered to be extraordinary items and required separate presentation, net of tax, after income from continuing operations. The presentation and disclosure guidance for items that are unusual in nature or occur infrequently was retained and expanded to include items that are both unusual and infrequently occurring. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted ASU 2015-01 on January 1, 2016, and the adoption of ASU 2015-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. ASU 2015-03 requires an entity to present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs continues to be reported as interest expense. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company retrospectively

Table of Contents

adopted ASU 2015-03 on January 1, 2016, and the retrospective adoption of ASU 2015-03 had the effect of reducing the Company’s other assets and long-term debt by $18.5 million as of December 31, 2015.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other -Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), Customers Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement,” to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. The amendments provide guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license element, then the customer should account for the software license element arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The Company prospectively adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2016, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” which modifies existing requirements regarding measuring first-in, first-out and average cost inventory at the lower of cost or market. Under existing standards, the market amount requires consideration of replacement cost, net realizable value (“NRV”), and NRV less an approximately normal profit margin. ASU 2015-11 replaces market with NRV, defined as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This eliminates the need to determine and consider replacement cost or NRV less an approximately normal profit margin when measuring inventory. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU 2015-11 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months. Recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses will depend on classification as a finance or operating lease. ASU 2016-02 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvement to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” ASU 2016-09 provides guidance intended to simplify accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the updated guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Other recently issued ASUs were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have a minimal impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Venezuelan Operations

As of December 31, 2015, the Company determined it could no longer exercise control over its Venezuelan operations because the availability of U.S. Dollars had declined significantly over the past several years in each of Venezuela’s three exchange mechanisms, and the Company concluded that an other-than-temporary lack of exchangeability between the Venezuelan Bolivar and the U.S. Dollar existed as of December 31, 2015. Furthermore, increasingly restrictive governmental regulations in Venezuela related to prices that could be charged for products, distribution channels into which products could be sold, product labeling requirements, importation of raw materials and sourced products which must be purchased in U.S. Dollars, and labor matters restricted the Company’s ability to make and execute decisions related to its Venezuelan operations. As a result, the Company concluded it could no longer make key operational and financial decisions regarding its Venezuelan operations and deconsolidated its Venezuelan operations as of December 31, 2015. As of June 30, 2016, the Company did not have any significant commitments to provide financial support to or for the benefit of the Venezuelan operations, and the carrying value of the Company’s investment in Venezuela is $0.

Prior to the deconsolidation of the Venezuelan operations on December 31, 2015, the results of the Company’s Venezuelan operations were included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company’s Venezuelan operations generated $67.1 million of consolidated net sales and $28.9 million of operating income.

Income Taxes

At the end of each interim period, the Company makes its best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. This estimate reflects, among other items, the Company’s best estimate of operating results and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s quarterly income tax rate may differ from its estimated annual effective tax rate because accounting standards require the Company to exclude the actual results of certain entities expected to generate a pretax loss when applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to the Company’s consolidated pretax results in interim periods. In estimating the annual

Table of Contents

effective tax rate, the Company does not include the estimated impact of unusual and/or infrequent items, including the reversal of certain valuation allowances, which may cause significant variations in the customary relationship between income tax expense (benefit) and pretax income (loss) in quarterly and year-to-date periods. The income tax expense (benefit) for such unusual and/or infrequent items is recorded in the quarterly period such items are incurred.

The Company routinely reviews valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets on a more likely than not basis in evaluating whether the Company has the ability to realize the deferred tax assets. In making such a determination, the Company takes into consideration all available and appropriate positive and negative evidence, including projected future taxable income, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, available tax planning strategies and taxable income in prior carryback years, if available. Considering these factors, a possibility exists that the Company may record or release a portion of a valuation allowance against some deferred tax assets each quarterly period, which could create volatility in the Company’s future effective tax rate.

The Company’s income tax expense and resulting effective tax rate are based upon the respective estimated annual effective tax rates applicable for the respective periods adjusted for the effects of items required to be treated as discrete to the period, including changes in tax laws, changes in estimated exposures for uncertain tax positions and other items.

The Company’s effective tax rate of 20.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was impacted by the acquisition of Jarden Corporation (“Jarden”), the geographical mix of earnings and a $19.4 million reduction in the valuation allowance related to certain deferred tax assets of its international operations. The Company’s effective tax rate of 24.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was impacted by the geographical mix of earnings and the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against foreign currencies offset by increased tax benefit from the generation of foreign tax credits.

Other Items

The Company holds a 29% investment in Sprue Aegis (“Sprue”). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company’s related party sales to Sprue were $7.3 million.

Footnote 2 — Acquisitions

Elmer’s

During October 2015, the Company acquired Elmer’s Products, Inc. (“Elmer’s”) for a purchase price of $571.4 million, which is net of $16.8 million of cash acquired. The acquisition of Elmer’s was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the Company allocated the total purchase price to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. Based on the purchase price allocation, the Company allocated $24.5 million of the purchase price to identified tangible and monetary net assets, $86.6 million to deferred tax liabilities and $262.0 million to identified intangible assets. Approximately $220.0 million was allocated to indefinite-lived intangible assets and approximately $42.0 million was allocated to a definite-lived intangible asset with a weighted-average life of 8 years. The indefinite-lived intangible assets represent the acquired Elmer’s^®and X-Acto^® trade names. The Company recorded the excess of the purchase price over the aggregate fair values of identifiable assets of $371.5 million as goodwill. None of the goodwill is expected to be tax deductible. Elmer’s results of operations are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations since the acquisition date, including net sales of $79.0 million and $123.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and operating income of $21.3 million and $17.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. Pro forma results of operations of the Company would not be materially different as a result of the acquisition and therefore are not presented.

The Company incurred $0.5 million and $7.1 million of restructuring costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 associated with the integration of Elmer’s.

Jarden Corporation

On April 15, 2016, Jarden became a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Newell Brands Inc., as a result of a series of merger transactions (the “Jarden Acquisition”). The Jarden Acquisition was effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 13, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”) between the Company, Jarden and two wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. Following the Jarden Acquisition, the Company was renamed Newell Brands Inc. Jarden is a leading, global consumer products company with leading brands, such as Yankee Candle^®, Crock-Pot^®, FoodSaver^®, Mr. Coffee^®, Oster^®, Coleman^®, First Alert^®, Rawlings^®, Jostens^®, K2^®, Marker^®, Marmot^®, Volkl^® and many others. The Jarden Acquisition enables the Company to scale the enterprise with leading brands in global markets. The scale of the Company in key categories, channels and geographies enables it to deploy its strategy, which includes advantaged development and commercial capabilities, across a larger set of opportunities to generate accelerated growth and margin expansion. The Jarden Acquisition has been accounted for using the

Table of Contents

purchase method of accounting, and Jarden’s assets, liabilities and results of operations are included in the Company’s financial statements from the acquisition date.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of Jarden common stock was converted into the right to receive and became exchangeable for merger consideration consisting of (1) 0.862 of a share of the Company’s common stock plus (2) $21.00 in cash. On April 15, 2016, the Company provided for the issuance of up to 189.4 million shares of common stock and the payment of up to $4.6 billion for 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Jarden, which represented 219.7 million shares of Jarden common stock outstanding and eligible to receive the merger consideration. As of June 30, 2016, the Company has been notified by Jarden shareholders owning 10.6 million shares of Jarden common stock that they were exercising their dissenters’ rights and were seeking an appraisal of such shares, and as a result, the merger consideration issuable to these Jarden shareholders consisting of 9.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock had not been issued and $222.2 million in cash had not been paid as of June 30, 2016.

The Jarden Acquisition constituted a make-whole fundamental change with respect to Jarden’s three series of outstanding convertible notes, making them eligible for conversion into shares of Jarden common stock and eligible to receive the merger consideration based on the number of Jarden shares into which the convertible notes may be converted. Jarden’s three series of convertible notes had an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion outstanding due in 2018, 2019 and 2034. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, substantially all of the Jarden convertible note holders elected to convert their notes into shares of Jarden common stock, resulting in 37.9 million shares of Jarden common stock that were exchanged for merger consideration consisting of 32.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock and $795.9 million of cash.

Based on the closing price of a share of the Company’s common stock on April 15, 2016 of $44.33 per share, the total consideration paid or payable for shares of Jarden common stock was approximately $15.3 billion, including $5.4 billion of cash and $9.9 billion of common stock. Upon completion of the Jarden Acquisition, stockholders of Newell Rubbermaid and stockholders and convertible note holders of Jarden immediately before the merger owned 55% and 45%, respectively, of the Company. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had paid $5.2 billion and issued 213.9 million shares valued at $9.5 billion for shares of Jarden common stock tendered in the Jarden Acquisition. With respect to the 10.6 million shares of Jarden common stock held by dissenting shareholders exercising their dissenters’ appraisal rights, the Company accrued the estimated value of the merger consideration payable to such shareholders of $626.5 million, and such amount is included in other noncurrent liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2016. In addition, on April 15, 2016, the Company paid $4.1 billion to settle certain of Jarden’s outstanding debt obligations, which included accrued interest and change-in-control premiums.

Footnote 5 — Restructuring Costs

Project Renewal

Project Renewal was launched in October 2011 to reduce the complexity of the organization and increase investment in growth platforms within the business. Under Project Renewal, the Company is simplifying and aligning its businesses around two key activities, Brand & Category Development and Market Execution & Delivery; simplifying and streamlining the supply chain and overhead and partnering functions to align with the new structure; and optimizing its selling and trade marketing functions.

Cumulative costs of Project Renewal are expected to be approximately $690.0 million to $725.0 million pretax, with cash costs of approximately $645.0 million to $675.0 million. Approximately 60% to 70% of the total costs are expected to be restructuring costs, a majority of which are expected to be employee-related cash costs, including severance, retirement and other termination benefits and costs. Projects associated with Project Renewal are expected to be complete by the end of 2017, and as a result, cash payments and savings will be realized in 2018 and later years.

Medium-term and Long-term Notes

In March 2016, the Company completed the offering and sale of $8.0 billion principal amount of unsecured senior notes, consisting of $1.0 billion of aggregate principal amount of 2.60% notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”), $1.0 billion of aggregate principal amount of 3.15% notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”), $1.75 billion of aggregate principal amount of 3.85% notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”), $2.0 billion of aggregate principal amount of 4.20% notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”), $500.0 million of aggregate principal amount of 5.375% notes due 2036 (the “2036 Notes”) and $1.75 billion of aggregate principal amount of 5.50% notes due 2046 (the “2046 Notes” and together with the 2019 Notes, the 2021 Notes, the 2023 Notes, the 2026 Notes and the 2036 Notes, the “Notes”). The aggregate net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes were $7.9 billion, which were used to pay the cash portion of the merger consideration in the Jarden Acquisition and to repay a significant portion of Jarden’s outstanding debt at closing. The Notes are senior obligations of the Company and rank equally with all of its other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time outstanding. At the Company’s option, all or any portion of the 2019 Notes may be redeemed at any time, all or any portion of the 2021 Notes may be redeemed at any time prior to March 1, 2021 (the date that is one month prior to the maturity date), all or any portion of the 2023 Notes may be redeemed at any time prior to February 1, 2023 (the date that is two months prior to the maturity date), all or any portion of the 2026 Notes may be redeemed at any time prior to January 1, 2026 (the date that is three months prior to the maturity date), all or any portion of the 2036 Notes may be redeemed at any time prior to October 1, 2035 (the date that is six months prior to the maturity date), and all or any portion of the 2046 Notes may be

Table of Contents

redeemed at any time prior to October 1, 2045 (the date that is six months prior to the maturity date) (each such date the applicable “par call date”). The redemption price for the Notes is equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed on the redemption date or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes being redeemed (in the case of the 2026 Notes, assuming that the 2026 Notes matured on the par call date) (not including any portion of any payments of interest accrued to the redemption date), discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the treasury rate, plus an applicable premium; plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes being redeemed to the redemption date. If the 2021 Notes are redeemed on or after a date that is one month prior to the maturity date of the 2021 Notes, the 2023 Notes are redeemed on or after a date that is two months prior to the maturity date of the 2023 Notes, the 2026 Notes are redeemed on or after a date that is three months prior to the maturity date of the 2026 Notes, or the 2036 Notes or the 2046 Notes are redeemed on or after a date that is six months prior to the maturity date of such notes, then the redemption price of such notes will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes so redeemed plus accrued interest to such redemption date. The interest rate payable on each series of Notes will be subject to adjustment if either of two credit rating agencies downgrade (or subsequently upgrade) its rating assigned to the Notes, but in no event shall the interest rate payable on each series of Notes be less than the stated interest rate or more than 200 basis points greater than the stated interest rate on each series of Notes as a result of such credit rating agencies downgrades or upgrades.

In October 2015, the Company completed the offering and sale of $600.0 million of unsecured senior notes, consisting of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.15% notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”) and $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.90% notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”). The aggregate net proceeds from the issuance of the 2018 Notes and 2025 Notes were $594.6 million, which were used for the acquisition of Elmer’s and for general corporate purposes.

Receivables-Related Borrowings

As extended and expanded, the Company’s receivables facility expires in October 2016 and provides for available borrowings of up to $400.0 million (the “Receivables Facility”). Under the Receivables Facility, the Company and certain operating subsidiaries (collectively, the “Originators”) sell their receivables to a financing subsidiary as the receivables are originated. The financing subsidiary is wholly-owned by the Company and is the owner of the purchased receivables and the borrower under the Receivables Facility. The assets of the financing subsidiary are restricted as collateral for the payment of debt or other obligations arising under the Receivables Facility, and the financing subsidiary’s assets and credit are not available to satisfy the debts and obligations owed to the Company’s or any other Originator’s creditors. The Company includes the financing subsidiary’s assets, liabilities and results of operations in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Receivables Facility, as amended, requires, among other things, that the Company maintain a certain interest coverage ratio, and the Company was in compliance with such requirements under the Receivables Facility as of June 30, 2016. The financing subsidiary owned $959.5 million of outstanding accounts receivable as of June 30, 2016, and these amounts are included in accounts receivable, net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2016. The Company had $370.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Receivables Facility as of June 30, 2016.

Prior to completion of the Jarden Acquisition in April 2016, Jarden maintained a $500.0 million receivables purchase agreement (the “Securitization Facility”) that matures in October 2016 pursuant to which a substantial portion of Jarden’s U.S. accounts receivable were sold to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jarden. Jarden’s wholly-owned subsidiary funded these purchases with borrowings under a loan agreement, and such borrowings were secured by the purchased accounts receivable. Upon completion of the Jarden Acquisition in April 2016, the Securitization Facility was amended to provide for borrowings to a subsidiary of the Company on terms substantially similar to those under the Securitization Facility, and borrowings by the Company’s subsidiary under the Securitization Facility are collateralized by a portion of the Company’s U.S. accounts receivable. The outstanding accounts receivable provided as collateral for the Securitization Facility totaled $798.2 million as of June 30, 2016, and these amounts are included in accounts receivable, net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2016. The Company had $204.4 million of outstanding borrowings under the Securitization Facility as of June 30, 2016.

Revolving Credit Facility and Commercial Paper

In January 2016, the Company entered into a five-year revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks. The Revolving Credit Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Company’s previous revolving credit facility. The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured syndicated revolving credit facility with a maturity date of January 2021, and an aggregate commitment at any time outstanding of up to $1.25 billion (the “Facility”). The Company may from time to time request increases in the aggregate commitment to up to $1.75 billion upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Company may request extensions of the maturity date of the Facility (subject to lender approval) for additional one-year periods. Borrowings under the Facility will be used for general corporate purposes, and the Facility provides the committed backup liquidity required to issue commercial paper. Accordingly, commercial paper may be issued only up to the amount available for borrowing under the Facility. Under the Facility, the Company may borrow funds on a variety of interest rate terms. The Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended, requires, among other things, that the Company maintain certain interest coverage and debt-to-

Table of Contents

total capitalization ratios, and the Company was in compliance with such requirements under the Revolving Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2016. The Facility also provides for the issuance of up to $100.0 million of letters of credit, so long as there is a sufficient amount available for borrowing under the Facility. The Company may borrow, prepay and re-borrow amounts under the Facility at any time prior to termination of the Facility. As of June 30, 2016, there were no borrowings outstanding and $39.8 million of standby letters of credit issued under the Facility. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had outstanding commercial paper obligations of $287.9 million, resulting in $922.3 million of borrowing capacity under the Facility.

In addition to the committed portion of the Facility, the Revolving Credit Agreement provides for extensions of competitive bid loans from one or more lenders (at the lenders’ discretion) of up to $500.0 million, which are not a utilization of the amount available for borrowing under the Facility.

Bridge Credit Facility

On December 13, 2015, the Company entered into a commitment letter with a lender. The lender committed to provide financing for the Jarden transaction, consisting of a $10.5 billion senior unsecured bridge facility (the “Jarden Bridge Facility”). The availability under the Jarden Bridge Facility was subject to reduction in equivalent amounts upon the completion of any issuance of debt securities by the Company and upon other specified events. Due to the Company entering into the term loan credit agreement as described below, completing the issuance of the Notes in March 2016 and other considerations, the Jarden Bridge Facility was terminated. Other current assets as of December 31, 2015 included $45.9 million of unamortized origination fees associated with the commitment letter contemplating the Jarden Bridge Facility. Upon cancellation of the Jarden Bridge Facility, the $45.9 million of issuance costs were written off and recorded as a loss related to termination of credit facility in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Term Loan Credit Agreement

On January 26, 2016, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) for a $1.5 billion senior unsecured term loan facility with a syndicate of banks. In April 2016, the Company borrowed $1.5 billion pursuant to the Term Loan Credit Agreement, and the borrowings were used to pay a portion of the cash portion of the merger consideration in connection with the Jarden Acquisition. The Term Loan Credit Agreement provides for a maturity date of three years from the closing date of the Jarden Acquisition and requires the Company to repay 5% of the initial borrowings by each of April 2017 and April 2018, 45% of the borrowings by October 2018 and the remaining 45% of the borrowings by April 2019. At the Company’s election, borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Agreement bear interest either at (i) the eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin, or (ii) the base rate plus an applicable margin. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company repaid $750.0 million of the borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $750.0 million under the Term Loan Credit Agreement which bear interest at an average rate of 2.0%.

Notes Exchange

In March 2016, the Company commenced exchange offers (the “Exchange Offers”) pursuant to which the Company offered to issue new senior notes (the “Newell Notes”) in exchange for €300 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 3.75% senior notes due October 2021 issued by Jarden and of the $300 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 5.00% senior notes due November 2023 issued by Jarden (collectively, the “Existing Jarden Notes”) and concurrently solicited consents (the “Consent Solicitations”) from the eligible holders of the Existing Jarden Notes to amend the related indentures. The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations expired and were settled in April 2016. The aggregate principal amount of each series of Newell Notes issued in the Exchange Offers totaled €271.9 million of 3.75% senior notes due October 2021 and $295.1 million 5.00% senior notes due November 2023. The Newell Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally in right of payment with all of its other existing or future senior unsecured debt, and are structurally subordinated to the secured and unsecured debt of the Company’s subsidiaries, including any debt of Jarden that remains outstanding.

The Exchange Offers were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), and as a result, the Newell Notes may not be offered or sold in the U.S. absent registration or an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws. In connection with the completion of the Exchange Offers, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement before January 2017 relating to an offer to exchange the Newell Notes for registered notes of the Company having substantially the same terms as the Newell Notes. The interest rates on the Newell Notes are subject to increases if the Company does not fulfill its obligation to timely offer to exchange the Newell Notes for registered notes of the Company having substantially the same terms as the Newell Notes.

Following the consummation of the Exchange Offers, Jarden had outstanding approximately (i) €28.1 million in aggregate principal amount of its 3.75% senior notes due October 2021 and (ii) $4.9 million in aggregate principal amount of its 5.00% senior notes due November 2023 (the “Remaining Existing Jarden Notes”). In April 2016, Jarden entered into supplemental indentures related

Table of Contents

to the Remaining Existing Jarden Notes that eliminated substantially all of the restrictive covenants, eliminated the cross-default under Jarden’s indebtedness as an event of default, released the guarantees of any guarantors on the Remaining Existing Jarden Notes and evidenced the assumption of the obligations of the Remaining Existing Jarden Notes by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Remaining Existing Jarden Notes are the senior unsecured obligations of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Company has designated the €300 million principal balance of the 3.75% senior notes due October 2021 as a net investment hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its net investment (the “Hedging Instrument”) in certain Euro-functional currency subsidiaries with Euro-denominated net assets. Foreign currency gains and losses on the Hedging Instrument, which was a $6.6 million gain during the three months ended June 30, 2016, are recorded as an adjustment to AOCI. See Footnote 10 for disclosures regarding the Company’s derivative financial instruments.

Footnote 10 — Derivatives

The use of financial instruments, including derivatives, exposes the Company to market risk related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. The Company primarily uses derivatives to manage its interest rate exposure, to achieve a desired proportion of variable and fixed-rate debt, to manage the risk associated with the volatility of future cash flows denominated in foreign currencies, to manage changes in fair value resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and to manage the risk associated with the volatility of future cash flows associated with changes in commodity prices. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

Fair Value Hedges-Interest Rate Swap Agreements

The Company generally enters into interest rate swap agreements related to existing debt obligations with initial maturities ranging from five to ten years, although the Company may enter into interest rate swap agreements with respect to debt obligations with shorter or longer maturities. The Company’s interest rate swap agreements have the economic effect of modifying the fixed interest obligations associated with approximately $596.0 million of the medium-term notes so that the interest payable on these medium-term notes effectively became variable. The Company uses these interest rate swap agreements to manage its interest rate exposure and to achieve a desired proportion of variable and fixed-rate debt. The critical terms of the interest rate swap agreements match the critical terms of the medium-term notes that the interest rate swap agreements pertain to, including the notional amounts and maturity dates. These transactions are characterized as fair value hedges for accounting purposes because they protect the Company against changes in the fair values of certain fixed-rate borrowings due to benchmark interest rate movements. The changes in fair values of these interest rate swap agreements are recognized as interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations with the corresponding amounts included in other assets or other noncurrent liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount of net gain (loss) attributable to the risk being hedged is recognized as interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations with the corresponding amount included in Current Portion of Long-term Debt and Long-term Debt. The periodic interest settlements for the interest rate swap agreements are recorded as interest expense and are included as a part of cash flows from operating activities.

Cash Flow Hedges-Forward-Starting Interest Rate Swaps

The Company also uses derivatives to hedge interest rates on anticipated issuances of medium-term and long-term notes. The Company generally uses these instruments to hedge interest rates on anticipated debt issuances occurring within one year or less of the inception date of the derivative, although the Company may use such instruments to hedge interest rates on anticipated issuances occurring beyond one year of the inception date of the derivative. The Company uses these instruments to reduce the volatility in future interest payments that would be made pursuant to the anticipated issuances of the notes. These derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges. The changes in fair values of these instruments are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), and after the notes are issued and the derivative instruments are settled, the amount in other comprehensive income (loss) is amortized to interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations over the term of the related notes. The cash paid or received from the settlement of forward-starting interest rate swaps is included in cash flows from operating activities.

Cash Flow Hedges-Cross-Currency Interest Rate Swap Agreements

The Company’s foreign exchange risk management policy emphasizes hedging foreign currency intercompany financing activities with derivatives, and the hedges and related intercompany financing arrangements generally have maturity dates of three years or less from inception. The Company may use such instruments to hedge intercompany financing arrangements with maturities of more than three years. The Company uses derivative instruments, such as cross-currency interest rate swap agreements, to hedge currency risk associated with foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities associated with intercompany financing activities. In connection with intercompany financing arrangements entered into in April 2015, the Company entered into two cross-currency interest rate swap agreements to manage the related foreign currency exchange risk of the intercompany financing arrangements. As of June 30, 2016, the notional value of outstanding cross-currency interest rate swaps was $186.2 million, and the cross-

Table of Contents

currency interest rate swaps are intended to eliminate uncertainty in cash flows in U.S. Dollars and British Pounds in connection with the intercompany financing arrangements. The cross-currency interest rate swap agreements have been designated as qualifying hedging instruments and are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The critical terms of the cross-currency interest rate swap agreements correspond to the terms of the intercompany financing arrangements, including the annual principal and interest payments being hedged, and the cross-currency interest rate swap agreements mature at the same time as the intercompany financing arrangements.

The Company uses the hypothetical derivative method to measure the effectiveness of its cross-currency interest rate swap agreements. The fair values of these cross-currency interest rate swap agreements are recognized as other assets or other noncurrent liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The effective portions of the changes in fair values of these cross-currency interest rate swap agreements are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and an amount is reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into other expense, net, in the same period that the carrying value of the underlying foreign currency intercompany financing arrangements are remeasured. The ineffective portion of the unrealized gains and losses on these cross-currency interest rate swaps, if any, is recorded immediately to other expense, net. The Company evaluates the effectiveness of its cross-currency swap agreements on a quarterly basis, and the Company did not record any ineffectiveness for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. The cash flows related to the cross-currency interest rate swap agreements, including amounts related to the periodic interest settlements and the principal balances, are included in cash flows from operating activities.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company’s foreign exchange risk management policy generally emphasizes hedging certain transaction exposures of 2 year durations or less. The Company transacts business in various foreign currencies and periodically enters into primarily foreign currency forward contracts to offset the risks associated with the effects of certain foreign currency exposures. The Company designates certain of these instruments as hedges of probable forecasted foreign currency denominated sales or purchases. In addition, the Company does not designate certain of these instruments as hedges based on the underlying exposure. As of June 30, 2016, including contracts designated and not designated as hedges, the notional amounts of the forward contracts held to purchase U.S. Dollars in exchange for other major international currencies were $921.2 million, the notional amounts of the forward contracts held to sell U.S. Dollars in exchange for other major international currencies were $284.0 million, and the notional amounts of additional forward contracts held to buy and sell international currencies were $295.2 million.

The net gains (losses) related to forward contracts designated as hedges are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged transaction occurs or when the hedged transaction is no longer probable of occurring. The net gains (losses) in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are generally reclassified to either cost of products sold in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations because the foreign currency contracts hedge purchases of inventory. The net gains (losses) associated with foreign currency contracts that are not designated as hedges are included in other (income) expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.The cash flows related to these foreign currency contracts are included in cash flows from operating activities.

Hedging instruments are not available for certain currencies in countries in which the Company has operations. In these cases, the Company uses alternative means in an effort to achieve an economic offset to the local currency exposure such as invoicing and/or paying intercompany and third party transactions in U.S. Dollars.

The Company reports its derivative positions in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a gross basis and does not net asset and liability derivative positions with the same counterparty. The Company monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions that are parties to its financial transactions.

Commodity Contracts

The Company enters into commodity-based derivatives in order to mitigate the risk associated with the impact changes in prices of commodities could have on the cost of certain of the Company’s raw materials. These commodity-based derivatives provide the Company with cost certainty, and in certain instances, allow the Company to benefit should the cost of the commodity fall below certain dollar thresholds. At June 30, 2016, the Company had approximately $14.4 million notional amount outstanding of commodity-based derivatives that are not designated as effective hedges for accounting purposes and have maturity dates through December 2016. Fair market value gains or losses associated with commodity derivative instruments are included in the results of operations and are classified in cost of products sold.

During December 2015, the Company entered into forward-starting interest rate swaps for an aggregate $1.0 billion notional amount for the anticipated issuance of notes to finance the Jarden Acquisition (the “2015 Swaps”). During January 2016, the Company entered into additional forward-starting interest rate swaps for an aggregate $1.3 billion notional amount (the “2016 Swaps,” and together with the 2015 Swaps, the “Swaps”). The total notional amount of the Swaps relating to the anticipated issuance of medium-term and long-term notes for the Jarden Acquisition was $2.3 billion. In March 2016, the Company completed the offering and sale of the Notes (see Footnote 9 for additional information) and settled the Swaps. The net pretax loss and net amount paid upon settlement of the Swaps was $91.2 million, which was recorded in AOCI net of tax and is included in cash flows from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016. As the Swaps hedged the benchmark rates associated with the anticipated issuances of the Notes, the losses associated with the Swaps will be reclassified from AOCI to interest expense over the terms of the Notes the Swaps were designated to hedge.

The Company recognized expenses of $2.0 million in other (income) expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 related to the ineffectiveness of certain cash flow hedges. The Company did not realize any ineffectiveness related to cash flow hedges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2016, the Company expects to reclassify net pretax gains of $1.5 million from AOCI into earnings during the next 12 months, which primarily represents foreign currency-related gains offset by $9.7 million of losses related to the Swaps.

Net Investment Hedge

The Company has designated the €300 million principal balance of the 3.75% senior notes due October 2021, as a Hedging Instrument in certain Euro-functional currency subsidiaries with Euro-denominated net assets. Foreign currency gains and losses on the Hedging Instrument are recorded as an adjustment to AOCI. At June 30, 2016, $6.6 million of pretax deferred gains have been recorded in AOCI to offset the translation impacts of the Euro-denominated net assets.

Dilutive securities include “in the money” options, non-participating restricted stock units and performance stock units. The weighted-average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 exclude the weighted average effect of 0.3 million outstanding performance stock units, respectively, because the securities were anti-dilutive. The weighted-average shares outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2015 exclude the weighted average effect of 0.3 million performance stock units outstanding because the securities were anti-dilutive.

As of June 30, 2016, there were 9.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock that had not been issued to the former holders of 10.6 million of Jarden shares who are exercising their right to judicial appraisal under Delaware law. Absent consent by the Company, these dissenting shareholders are no longer entitled to the merger consideration, but are instead entitled only to the judicially determined fair value of their shares, plus interest accruing from the date of the Jarden Acquisition, payable in cash. However, it is possible that the Company could issue a consent to or reach agreement with one or more of these shareholders resulting in the issuance of Company shares (in lieu of or along with the payment of cash) in settlement of the dissenters’ claims.

Footnote 13 — Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures compensation cost for all stock awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognizes compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period for awards expected to vest. The Company recognized pretax stock-based compensation expense of $19.2 million and $7.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $29.1 million and $14.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The following table summarizes the changes in the number of outstanding restricted stock units for the six months ended June 30, 2016 (shares in millions):



	Restricted Stock Units		Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding at December 31, 2015	2.9		$	34
Granted	2.5		55
Vested	(1.0	)	27
Forfeited	(0.1	)	36
Outstanding at June 30, 2016	4.3		$	47

During 2014, 2015 and 2016, the Company awarded performance stock units which entitle recipients to shares of the Company’s stock at the end of a three-year vesting period if specified performance or market conditions are achieved (“PSUs”). The PSUs generally entitle recipients to shares of common stock equal to 0% up to 200% of the number of units granted at the vesting date depending on the level of achievement of the specified performance, market and service conditions. As of June 30, 2016, 2.2 million PSUs were outstanding. Based on performance through June 30, 2016, holders of unvested PSUs would be entitled to

approximately 4.0 million shares at the vesting date. The PSUs are included in the preceding table as if the holders of PSUs earn shares equal to 100% of the units granted.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company awarded performance stock units which entitle recipients to shares of the Company’s stock at the end of a two- to five-year vesting period if specified cost savings targets are achieved (“Cost Savings PSUs”). The Cost Savings PSUs generally entitle recipients to shares of common stock equal to 100% of the number of units granted at the vesting date subject to achievement of the specified performance and service conditions. As of June 30, 2016, 0.5 million Cost Savings PSUs were outstanding. Based on performance through June 30, 2016, the holders of Cost Savings PSUs would not have vested in the Cost Savings PSUs.

During the three months ended June 30, 2016, pursuant to agreements certain Jarden employees entered into with Jarden prior to the Jarden Acquisition, the Jarden employees exchanged 0.8 million unvested restricted shares of Jarden on April 15, 2016 for 1.0 million unvested restricted shares of Newell Brands (the “Jarden Rollover Shares”). The Jarden Rollover Shares were subject to vesting conditions that were dependent on the Company’s stock price. The value of the Jarden Rollover Shares was estimated at $42.1 million and is included in the merger consideration in Footnote 2. The Jarden Rollover Shares vested during the three months ended June 30, 2016 upon the achievement of the stock price-based performance conditions. The Jarden Rollover Shares are not included in the preceding table.
