      WALNUT CREEK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 7, 2015--Central Garden
      &amp; Pet Company (NASDAQ: CENT) (NASDAQ: CENTA), a leading innovator,
      marketer and producer of quality branded products for the lawn and
      garden and pet supplies markets, today announced financial results for
      its full year and fourth quarter ended September 26, 2015.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;2015 was a year of major accomplishments for Central. The operational
      and financial success we are achieving is now very evident in our
      financial results and is validation that the multi-year plan we outlined
      in 2013 is working, and we are on plan and the right path, said John
      Ranelli, President &amp; CEO of Central Garden &amp; Pet. &#8220;In addition to
      realizing the positive results from our efforts to put our customers
      first, lower our expenses and operate more efficiently, we are now
      beginning to see the effects of the initiatives we undertook during 2015
      to grow our top line.&#8221; Ranelli concluded, &#8220;I couldn&#8217;t be more pleased
      with the progress that we are continuing to make and expect another year
      of solid progress in 2016.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company currently expects continued growth in 2016, with adjusted
      earnings per fully diluted share expected to increase at least 28% to
      $0.95 or higher. This includes the interest savings from its recent
      refinancing, but adjusting for a one-time call premium, 30 days of extra
      interest expense and unamortized financing costs. While adjusted
      earnings for the year are expected to be higher, adjusted earnings for
      the first quarter are expected to be relatively flat vs. the prior year
      due to revenue timing differences.
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Fiscal 2015 Financial Highlights</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      Fiscal 2015 adjusted operating income and adjusted earnings per share
      exclude a Pet non-cash intangible impairment charge of $7.3 million.

      $16.9 million Garden charge for the discontinuance of products and a

      <u><b>Pet Segment Fourth Quarter Details</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      Fourth quarter sales for the Pet segment increased $18.5 million, or 8.5
      percent to $235.6 million, from the same period a year ago. Sales rose
      in most pet categories, particularly in the dog and cat and professional
      categories, as well as in sales of other manufacturers&#8217; products. The
      dog and cat category benefitted from including two months revenue from
      the IMS acquisition, which closed during the fourth quarter. The Pet
      segment&#8217;s branded product sales were $180.9 million in the fourth
      quarter of 2015, and sales of other manufacturers&#8217; products were $54.8
      million.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Pet segment&#8217;s operating income on a GAAP basis for the fourth
      quarter was $18.2 million compared to $21.1 million in the fourth
      quarter of 2014. On an adjusted basis, excluding a $7.3 million non-cash
      intangibles impairment charge, the Pet segment&#8217;s operating income
      increased $4.4 million to $25.5 million. The increase in adjusted
      operating income was largely due to higher sales during the period as
      well as lower SG&amp;A expenses. The Pet segment&#8217;s adjusted operating margin
      increased 110 basis points, primarily due to lower SG&amp;A expenses in the
      Company&#8217;s flea &amp; tick, dog and cat, and small animal businesses.
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Garden Segment Fourth Quarter Details</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      Sales for the Garden segment were $150.8 million, a decrease of $6.4
      million or 4.1 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2014. The
      decrease in sales was largely due to a decline in grass seed and d&#233;cor
      revenue. Higher wild bird feed sales and sales of other manufacturers&#8217;
      products moderated the Garden sales decline. The Garden segment&#8217;s
      branded product sales were $128.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2015,
      and sales of other manufacturers&#8217; products were $22.3 million.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Garden segment&#8217;s operating income in the fourth quarter of 2015
      decreased by $5.5 million, to $0.9 million, compared to reported
      operating income in the fourth quarter of 2014 of $6.4 million. Adjusted
      operating income for the fourth quarter of 2014, excluding a $2.9
      million gain on the sale of plant manufacturing assets, was $3.6
      million. The Garden segment&#8217;s operating margin declined to 0.6% compared
      to the operating margin in the prior year period of 4.1% on a GAAP basis
      and declined to 2.3% on an adjusted basis. The decline in operating
      income and margin was primarily due to lower profitability in the d&#233;cor
      category. Partially offsetting the d&#233;cor decline were higher operating
      margins in the grass seed and wild bird feed businesses.
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Additional Information</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      At September 26, 2015, the Company&#8217;s cash and short-term investments
      balance was $47.6 million, compared to $88.7 million a year ago. For
      fiscal year 2015, cash flow from operations was $87.4 million. Cash flow
      from operations for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $30.8 million,
      compared to $57.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. The Company&#8217;s
      inventory balance rose by $9.6 million from a year ago, due to
      increasing sales and a fourth quarter acquisition.

      The Company&#8217;s long-term debt declined to $400.1 million at September 26,
      2015 compared to $450.2 million at September 27, 2014. Net interest
      expense for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 was $8.6 million for the
      period compared to $9.7 million in the prior-year period. The lower debt
      and interest expense is reflective of lower average borrowings due to
      the redemption of $50 million of the Company&#8217;s 8.25% senior subordinated
      notes due March 2018 earlier this year.
    </p>
    <p>
      Subsequent to the end of the fiscal year, the Company issued $400
      million of 6.125% senior unsecured notes and redeemed its remaining
      outstanding 8.25% senior subordinated notes. This issuance is expected
      to result in annualized interest savings of approximately $8.5 million.
      The issuance is also expected to result in a charge in our fiscal 2016
      first quarter of approximately $8.3 million related to the payment of
      the call premium and a $3.2 million non-cash charge for the write-off of
      unamortized financing costs in interest expense. The first quarter of
      2016 will also include 30 days of overlapping interest payments,
      resulting in one-time additional interest expense of approximately $2.8
      million.
    </p>
    <p>
      Depreciation and amortization expense for fiscal year 2015 was $33.7
      million, compared with $35.8 million in fiscal year 2014. The Company&#8217;s
      effective tax rate for the fiscal year 2015 was 36.0 percent, compared
      with 29.2 percent for fiscal year 2014. The prior year benefitted from a
      release of valuation allowances.

      <i>Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures</i>
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S.
      generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management
      believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the
      impact of Pet segment charges related to a non-cash intangible asset
      impairment in fiscal 2015 and Garden segment charges in fiscal 2014 and
      Garden segment gains recognized during fiscal 2014 related to the sale
      of plant assets may be useful in certain instances to provide additional
      meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior
      periods that should be considered when assessing our ongoing
      performance. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures
      provide useful information to investors and other users of its financial
      statements, such as lenders. Management also uses these non-GAAP
      financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions
      and in evaluating the Company's performance. While the Company's
      management believes that non-GAAP measurements are 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.
