commented, &#147;Despite a very difficult commercial outcome in the second half of 2017, the vast majority of our brands are performing well in the marketplace. Our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">e-commerce</FONT> business grew at a strong
double-digit pace, our market shares have continued to increase and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">sell-through</FONT> growth has accelerated with Q4 2017 growth rates ahead of Q3 2017 in the U.S., which strengthens our confidence in our brand,
design and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">innovation-led</FONT> strategy. Importantly, our early efforts to improve working capital metrics look to have yielded good results with operating cash flow of nearly $1&nbsp;billion dollars in Q4, despite
the increased margin pressure from planned downtime in our factories and input cost inflation. We are committed to achieving our transformation objectives and are taking decisive action with speed to adapt our agenda to the unprecedented volatility
in our retailer landscape.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The company&#146;s initial guidance for 2018 assumes continued ownership of all assets for the entire calendar year. The
Company expects to achieve market share growth in its core categories and geographies in 2018, with core sales growth despite continued retailer inventory reductions. Normalized earnings per share for 2018 is expected to be approximately $2.65 to
$2.85, which includes the negative impact of an approximately $135&nbsp;million replenishment of management and sales bonuses that were not earned in 2017, and assumes a tax rate of 20% to 21% after the benefits from U.S. tax reform. Operating cash
flow is expected to be $1.15&nbsp;billion to $1.45&nbsp;billion, excluding the impact of any potential divestitures. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The company will provide additional

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The company uses certain <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial measures that are included in this press release and the additional
financial information both to explain its results to stockholders and the investment community and in the internal evaluation and management of its businesses. The company&#146;s management believes that these
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial measures and the information they provide are useful to investors since these measures (a)&nbsp;permit investors to view the company&#146;s performance using the same tools that management
uses to evaluate the company&#146;s past performance, reportable business segments and prospects for future performance and (b)&nbsp;determine certain elements of management&#146;s incentive compensation. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The company&#146;s management believes that core sales provides a more complete understanding of underlying sales trends by providing sales on a consistent
basis as it excludes the impacts of acquisitions (other than the Jarden acquisition), planned or completed divestitures, the deconsolidation of the company&#146;s Venezuelan operations, retail store openings and closings, and changes in foreign
currency from year-over-year comparisons. The effect of foreign currency on reported sales is determined by applying a fixed exchange rate, calculated as the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">12-month</FONT> average in the prior year, to the current
and prior year local currency sales amounts (excluding acquisitions and divestitures), with the difference in these two amounts being the increase or decrease in core sales, and the difference between the change in as reported sales and the change
in constant currency sales reported as the currency impact. The company&#146;s management believes that &#147;normalized&#148; earnings per share, which excludes restructuring and other expenses and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-time</FONT>
and other events such as costs related to certain product recalls, the extinguishment of debt, certain tax benefits and charges, impairment charges, pension settlement charges, discontinued operations, divestiture costs, costs related to the
acquisition, integration and financing of acquired businesses, amortization of intangible assets associated with acquisitions (beginning in the second quarter of 2016), advisory costs for process transformation and optimization initiatives, costs of
personnel dedicated to integration activities and transformation initiatives under Project Renewal and certain other items, are useful because they provide investors with a meaningful perspective on the current underlying performance of the

with GAAP. The determination of the amounts that are excluded from this <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial measure is a matter of management judgment and depends upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense
or income amounts recognized in a given period. We are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of the aforementioned forward-looking <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial measure to its most directly comparable
forward-looking GAAP financial measure because such information is not available and management cannot reliably predict all of the necessary components of such GAAP measure without unreasonable effort or expense. The unavailable information could
