Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Amounts in thousands, except per share figures)
1 | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS |
Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (SB Holdings or the Company), is a global branded consumer products company and was created in connection with the combination of Spectrum Brands, Inc. (Spectrum Brands), a global branded consumer products company, and Russell Hobbs, Inc. (Russell Hobbs), a global branded small appliance company, to form a new combined company (the Merger). The Merger was consummated on June 16, 2010. As a result of the Merger, both Spectrum Brands and Russell Hobbs are wholly-owned subsidiaries of SB Holdings and Russell Hobbs is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Spectrum Brands. SB Holdings trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol SPB.
In connection with the Merger, Spectrum Brands refinanced its existing senior debt, except for Spectrum Brands 12% Senior Subordinated Toggle Notes due 2019 (the 12% Notes), which remain outstanding, and a portion of Russell Hobbs existing senior debt through a combination of a $750,000 United States (U.S.) dollar term loan due June 16, 2016, $750,000 9.5% Senior Secured Notes maturing June 15, 2018 (the 9.5% Notes) and a $300,000 ABL revolving facility due June 16, 2014 (the ABL Revolving Credit Facility). The term loan facility established in connection with the Merger was subsequently refinanced in February 2011 (the Term Loan), and the ABL Revolving Credit Facility was amended in April 2011. (See also Note 7, Debt, for a more complete discussion of the Companys outstanding debt.)
On February 3, 2009, Spectrum Brands, at the time a Wisconsin corporation, and each of its wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries (collectively, the Debtors) filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the Bankruptcy Code), in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas (the Bankruptcy Court). On August 28, 2009 (the Effective Date), the Debtors emerged from Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. As of the Effective Date and pursuant to the Debtors confirmed plan of reorganization, Spectrum Brands converted from a Wisconsin corporation to a Delaware corporation. Prior to and including August 30, 2009, all operations of the business resulted from the operations of the Predecessor Company (as defined below). In accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 852: Reorganizations, the Company determined that all conditions required for the adoption of fresh-start reporting were met upon emergence from Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on the Effective Date. However in light of the proximity of that date to the Companys August accounting period close, which was August 30, 2009, the Company elected to adopt a convenience date of August 30, 2009 for recording fresh-start reporting.
On June 28, 2011 the Company filed a Form S-3 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under which 1,150 shares of its common stock and 6,320 shares of the Companys common stock held by Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd. (the Selling Stockholder) were offered to the public. Net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the 1,150 shares, after underwriting discounts and estimated expenses, were approximately $30,356. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock by the Selling Stockholder. SB Holdings expects to use the net proceeds of the sale of common shares for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, working capital needs, the refinancing of existing indebtedness, the expansion of its business and acquisitions.
Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term Company is used to refer to both Spectrum Brands and its subsidiaries prior to the Merger and SB Holdings and its subsidiaries subsequent to the Merger. The term Predecessor Company refers only to the Company prior to the Effective Date and the term Successor Company refers to Spectrum Brands or the Company subsequent to the Effective Date.
The Company is a diversified global branded consumer products company with positions in seven major product categories: consumer batteries; small appliances; pet supplies; electric shaving and grooming; electric personal care; portable lighting; and home and garden controls.
Effective October 1, 2010, the Companys chief operating decision-maker decided to manage the businesses of the Company in three vertically integrated, product-focused reporting segments: (i) Global Batteries & Appliances, which consists of the Companys worldwide battery, electric shaving and grooming, electric personal care, portable lighting business and small appliances primarily in the kitchen and home product categories (Global Batteries & Appliances); (ii) Global Pet Supplies, which consists of the Companys worldwide pet supplies business (Global Pet Supplies); and (iii) Home and Garden Business, which consists of the Companys home and garden and insect control business (the Home and Garden Business). The current reporting segment structure reflects the combination of the former Global Batteries & Personal Care segment (Global Batteries & Personal Care), which consisted of the worldwide battery, electric shaving and grooming, electric personal care and portable lighting business, with substantially all of the former Small Appliances segment (Small Appliances), which consisted of the Russell Hobbs business acquired on June 16, 2010, to form the Global Batteries & Appliances segment. In addition, certain pest control and pet products included in the former Small Appliances segment have been reclassified into the Home and Garden Business and Global Pet Supplies segments, respectively. The presentation of all historical segment reporting herein has been changed to conform to this segment reporting.

(Amounts in thousands, except per share figures)
The Companys operations include the worldwide manufacturing and marketing of alkaline, zinc carbon and hearing aid batteries, as well as aquariums and aquatic health supplies and the designing and marketing of rechargeable batteries, battery-powered lighting products, electric shavers and accessories, grooming products and hair care appliances. The Companys operations also include the manufacturing and marketing of specialty pet supplies. The Company also manufactures and markets herbicides, insecticides and insect repellents in North America. The Company also designs, markets and distributes a broad range of branded small appliances and personal care products. The Companys operations utilize manufacturing and product development facilities located in the U.S., Europe and Latin America.
The Company sells its products in approximately 130 countries through a variety of trade channels, including retailers, wholesalers and distributors, hearing aid professionals, industrial distributors and original equipment manufacturers and enjoys name recognition in its markets under the Rayovac, VARTA and Remington brands, each of which has been in existence for more than 80 years, and under the Tetra, 8-in-1, Spectracide, Cutter, Black & Decker, George Foreman, Russell Hobbs, Farberware and various other brands.
2 | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Presentation: These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and, in the opinion of the Company, include all adjustments (which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at July 3, 2011 and September 30, 2010, and the results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended July 3, 2011 and July 4, 2010 and the cash flows for the nine month periods ended July 3, 2011 and July 4, 2010. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Significant Accounting Policies and Practices: The condensed consolidated financial statements include the condensed consolidated financial statements of SB Holdings and its subsidiaries and are prepared in accordance with GAAP. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Discontinued Operations: On November 11, 2008, the Predecessor Companys board of directors approved the shutdown of the growing products portion of the Home and Garden Business, which included the manufacturing and marketing of fertilizers, enriched soils, mulch and grass seed. The decision to shutdown the growing products portion of the Home and Garden Business was made only after the Predecessor Company was unable to successfully sell this business, in whole or in part. The shutdown of the growing products portion of the Home and Garden Business was completed during the second quarter of the Companys fiscal year ended September 30, 2009.
The presentation herein of the results of continuing operations excludes the growing products portion of the Home and Garden Business for all periods presented. The following amounts have been segregated from continuing operations and are reflected as discontinued operations for the nine month period ended July 4, 2010:

Intangible Assets: Intangible assets are recorded at cost or at fair value if acquired in a purchase business combination. Customer relationships and proprietary technology intangibles are amortized, using the straight-line method, over their estimated useful lives of approximately 4 to 20 years. Excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired (goodwill) and trade name intangibles are not amortized. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level, with such groupings being consistent with the Companys reportable segments. If an impairment is indicated, a write-down to fair value (normally measured by discounting estimated future cash flows) is recorded. Trade name intangibles are tested for impairment at least annually by comparing the fair value with the carrying value. Any excess of carrying value over fair value is recognized as an impairment loss in income from operations. The Companys annual impairment testing is completed at the August financial period end. ASC Topic 350: Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, requires that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets be tested for impairment annually, or more often if an event or circumstance indicates that an impairment loss may have been incurred. Management uses its judgment in assessing whether assets may have become impaired between annual impairment tests. Indicators such as unexpected adverse business conditions, economic factors, unanticipated technological change or competitive activities, loss of key personnel, and acts by governments and courts may signal that an asset has become impaired.
The Companys goodwill and indefinite lived trade name intangibles were tested in conjunction with the Companys realignment of reportable segments on October 1, 2010. The Company concluded that the fair values of its reporting units, which are the same as the Companys reporting segments, and indefinite lived trade name intangible assets were in excess of the carrying amounts of those assets, under both the Companys prior reportable segment structure and the current reportable segment structure, and, accordingly, no impairment of goodwill or indefinite lived trade name intangibles was recorded.
Shipping and Handling Costs: The Company incurred shipping and handling costs of $51,172 and $150,140 for the three and nine month periods ended July 3, 2011, respectively, and $40,204 and $111,615 for the three and nine month periods ended July 4, 2010, respectively. These costs are included in Selling expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited). Shipping and handling costs include costs incurred with third-party carriers to transport products to customers as well as salaries and overhead costs related to activities to prepare the Companys products for shipment from its distribution facilities.
Concentrations of Credit Risk: Trade receivables subject the Company to credit risk. Trade accounts receivable are carried at net realizable value. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon an evaluation of the customers financial condition and credit history, and generally does not require collateral. The Company monitors its customers credit and financial condition based on changing economic conditions and makes adjustments to credit policies as required. Provision for losses on uncollectible trade receivables are determined principally on the basis of past collection experience applied to ongoing evaluations of the Companys receivables and evaluations of the risks of nonpayment for a given customer.
The Company has a broad range of customers including many large retail outlet chains, one of which accounts for a significant percentage of its sales volume. This customer represented approximately 25% and 23% of the Companys Net sales during the three and nine month periods ended July 3, 2011, respectively. This customer represented approximately 24% and 22% of the Companys Net sales during the three and nine month periods ended July 4, 2010, respectively. This customer also represented approximately 14% and 15% of the Companys Trade accounts receivable, net at July 3, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively.
Approximately 40% and 44% of the Companys Net sales during the three and nine month periods ended July 3, 2011, respectively, and 37% and 43% of the Companys Net sales during the three and nine month periods ended July 4, 2010, respectively, occurred outside the U.S. These sales and related receivables are subject to varying degrees of credit, currency, political and economic risk. The Company monitors these risks and makes appropriate provisions for collectability based on an assessment of the risks present.
Stock-Based Compensation: On the Effective Date all of the existing common stock of the Predecessor Company was extinguished and deemed cancelled, including restricted stock and other stock-based awards.
In September 2009, the Successor Companys board of directors (the Board) adopted the 2009 Spectrum Brands Inc. Incentive Plan (the 2009 Plan). In conjunction with the Merger, the 2009 Plan was assumed by SB Holdings. Up to 3,333 shares of common stock, net of forfeitures and cancellations, could have been issued under the 2009 Plan. After October 21, 2010, no further awards may be made under the 2009 Plan (as described in further detail below) as the Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. 2011 Omnibus Equity Award Plan (the 2011 Plan) was approved by the shareholders of the Company on March 1, 2011.

Under ASC Topic 718: Compensation-Stock Compensation, the Company is required to recognize expense related to its stock-based plans based on the fair value of its employee stock awards.
Total stock compensation expense associated with restricted stock awards and restricted stock units recognized by the Company during the three and nine month periods ended July 3, 2011 was $8,528, or $5,543, net of taxes, and $22,815, or $14,830, net of taxes, respectively.

Of these grants, 15 restricted stock units are time-based and vest over a one year period and 18 restricted stock units are time-based and vest over a three year period. The remaining 1,547 restricted stock units are performance and time-based with 665 units vesting over a two year period and 882 units vesting over a three year period. The total market value of the restricted stock units on the dates of the grants was approximately $46,034.
The fair value of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units is determined based on the market price of the Companys shares of common stock on the grant date.

The changes in accumulated foreign currency translation for the three and nine month periods ended July 3, 2011 and July 4, 2010 were primarily attributable to the impact of translation of the net assets of the Companys European and Latin American operations, primarily denominated in Euros, Pounds Sterling and Brazilian Real.

then-existing senior term credit facility, that existed at the time of emergence under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the Prior Term Facility) and Spectrum Brands then-existing asset based revolving loan facility, to pay fees and expenses in connection with the refinancing and for general corporate purposes.
The 9.5% Notes and 12% Notes were issued by Spectrum Brands. SB/RH Holdings, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SB Holdings, and the wholly owned domestic subsidiaries of Spectrum Brands are the guarantors under the 9.5% Notes. The wholly owned domestic subsidiaries of Spectrum Brands are the guarantors under the 12% Notes. SB Holdings is not an issuer or guarantor of the 9.5% Notes or the 12% Notes. SB Holdings is also not a borrower or guarantor under the Companys Term Loan or the ABL Revolving Credit Facility. Spectrum Brands is the borrower under the Term Loan and its wholly owned domestic subsidiaries along with SB/RH Holdings, LLC are the guarantors under that facility. Spectrum Brands and its wholly owned domestic subsidiaries are the borrowers under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility and SB/RH Holdings, LLC is a guarantor of that facility.
Senior Term Credit Facility
On February 1, 2011, the Company completed the refinancing of its term loan facility established in connection with the Merger, which had an aggregate amount outstanding of $680,000, with an amended and restated credit agreement, together with the amended ABL Revolving Credit Facility, the Senior Credit Facilities) at a lower interest rate.
The Term Loan was issued at par with a maturity date of June 17, 2016. Subject to certain mandatory prepayment events, the Term Loan is subject to repayment according to a scheduled amortization, with the final payment of all amounts outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid interest, due at maturity. Among other things, the Term Loan provides for interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Companys option, the LIBO rate (adjusted for statutory reserves) subject to a 1.00% floor plus a margin equal to 4.00%, or an alternate base rate plus a margin equal to 3.00%.
The Term Loan contains financial covenants with respect to debt, including, but not limited to, a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio, which covenants, pursuant to their terms, become more restrictive over time. In addition, the Term Loan contains customary restrictive covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the Companys ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make investments or specified payments, give guarantees, pay dividends, make capital expenditures and merge or acquire or sell assets. Pursuant to a guarantee and collateral agreement, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed their respective obligations under the Term Loan and related loan documents and have pledged substantially all of their respective assets to secure such obligations. The Term Loan also provides for customary events of default, including payment defaults and cross-defaults on other material indebtedness.
The Company recorded $8,698 of fees in connection with the Term Loan during the nine month period ended July 3, 2011. The fees are classified as Debt issuance costs within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited) and are amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the remaining life of the Term Loan. The Company recorded cash charges of $6,800 and accelerated amortization of portions of the unamortized discount and unamortized Debt issuance costs totaling $24,370 as an adjustment to increase interest expense, in connection with the refinancing of the term loan facility established in connection with the Merger, during the nine month period ended July 3, 2011.

The 2018 Indenture contains customary covenants that limit, among other things, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, payment of dividends on or redemption or repurchase of equity interests, the making of certain investments, expansion into unrelated businesses, creation of liens on assets, merger or consolidation with another company, transfer or sale of all or substantially all assets, and transactions with affiliates.
In addition, the 2018 Indenture provides for customary events of default, including failure to make required payments, failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants, failure to make payments on or acceleration of certain other indebtedness, and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. Events of default under the 2018 Indenture arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency will automatically cause the acceleration of the amounts due under the 9.5% Notes. If any other event of default under the 2018 Indenture occurs and is continuing, the trustee for the 2018 Indenture or the registered holders of at least 25% in the then aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 9.5% Notes may declare the acceleration of the amounts due under those notes.
The 9.5% Notes were issued at a 1.37% discount and were recorded net of the $10,245 amount incurred. The discount is reflected as an adjustment to the carrying value of principal, and is being amortized with a corresponding charge to interest expense over the remaining life of the 9.5% Notes. During Fiscal 2010, the Company recorded $20,823 of fees in connection with the issuance of the 9.5% Notes. The fees are classified as Debt issuance costs within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited) and are amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the remaining life of the 9.5% Notes.
12% Notes
On August 28, 2009, in connection with emergence from the voluntary reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and pursuant to the Debtors confirmed plan of reorganization, the Company issued $218,076 in aggregate principal amount of 12% Notes maturing August 28, 2019. Semiannually, at its option, the Company may elect to pay interest on the 12% Notes in cash or as payment in kind (PIK). PIK interest is added to principal on the relevant semi-annual interest payment date. Under the Prior Term Facility, the Company agreed to make interest payments on the 12% Notes through PIK for the first three semi-annual interest payment periods. As a result of the refinancing of the Prior Term Facility, the Company is no longer required to make interest payments as payment in kind after the semi-annual interest payment date of August 28, 2010. Effective with the semi-annual interest payment date of February 28, 2011, the Company gave notice to the trustee that the interest payment due August 28, 2011 would be made in cash.
The Company may redeem all or a part of the 12% Notes, upon not less than 30 or more than 60 days notice, beginning August 28, 2012 at specified redemption prices. Further, the indenture governing the 12% Notes (the 2019 Indenture) require the Company to make an offer, in cash, to repurchase all or a portion of the applicable outstanding notes for a specified redemption price, including a redemption premium, upon the occurrence of a change of control of the Company, as defined in such indenture.
At July 3, 2011 and September 30, 2010, the Company had outstanding principal of $245,031 under the 12% Notes, including PIK interest of $26,955 added to principal during Fiscal 2010.
The 2019 Indenture contains customary covenants that limit, among other things, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, payment of dividends on or redemption or repurchase of equity interests, the making of certain investments, expansion into unrelated businesses, creation of liens on assets, merger or consolidation with another company, transfer or sale of all or substantially all assets, and transactions with affiliates.
In addition, the 2019 Indenture provides for customary events of default, including failure to make required payments, failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants, failure to make payments on or acceleration of certain other indebtedness, and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. Events of default under the 2019 Indenture arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency will automatically cause the acceleration of the amounts due under the 12% Notes. If any other event of default under the 2019 Indenture occurs and is continuing, the trustee for the indenture or the registered holders of at least 25% in the then aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 12% Notes may declare the acceleration of the amounts due under those notes.
The Company is subject to certain limitations as a result of the Companys Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio under the 2019 Indenture being below 2:1. Until the test is satisfied, Spectrum Brands and certain of its subsidiaries are limited in their ability to make significant acquisitions or incur significant additional senior credit facility debt beyond the Senior Credit Facilities. The Company does not expect its inability to satisfy the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test to impair its ability to provide adequate liquidity to meet the short-term and long-term liquidity requirements of its existing businesses, although no assurance can be given in this regard.

In connection with the Merger, the Company obtained the consent of the note holders to certain amendments to the 2019 Indenture (the Supplemental Indenture). The Supplemental Indenture became effective upon the closing of the Merger. Among other things, the Supplemental Indenture amended the definition of change in control to exclude the Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd. (Harbinger Master Fund), Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations Fund, L.P. (Harbinger Special Fund) and, together with Harbinger Master Fund, the HCP Funds), Global Opportunities Breakaway Ltd. (together with the HCP Funds, the Harbinger Parties), and their respective affiliates and increased the Companys ability to incur indebtedness up to $1,850,000.
During Fiscal 2010, the Company recorded $2,966 of fees in connection with the consent. The fees are classified as Debt issuance costs within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited) and are amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the remaining life of the 12% Notes effective with the closing of the Merger.
ABL Revolving Credit Facility
On April 21, 2011 the Company amended the ABL Revolving Credit Facility. The amended facility carries an interest rate, at the Companys option, which is subject to change based on availability under the facility, of either: (a) the base rate plus currently 1.25% per annum or (b) the reserve-adjusted LIBO rate (the Eurodollar Rate) plus currently 2.25% per annum. No amortization is required with respect to the ABL Revolving Credit Facility. The ABL Revolving Credit Facility is scheduled to expire on April 21, 2016.
The ABL Revolving Credit Facility is governed by a credit agreement (the ABL Credit Agreement) with Bank of America as administrative agent (the Agent). The ABL Revolving Credit Facility consists of revolving loans (the Revolving Loans), with a portion available for letters of credit and a portion available as swing line loans, in each case subject to the terms and limits described therein.
The Revolving Loans may be drawn, repaid and re-borrowed without premium or penalty. The proceeds of borrowings under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility are to be used for costs, expenses and fees in connection with the ABL Revolving Credit Facility, working capital requirements of the Company and its subsidiaries, restructuring costs, and for other general corporate purposes.
The ABL Credit Agreement contains various representations and warranties and covenants, including, without limitation, enhanced collateral reporting, and a maximum fixed charge coverage ratio. The ABL Credit Agreement also provides for customary events of default, including payment defaults and cross-defaults on other material indebtedness.
During Fiscal 2010, the Company recorded $9,839 of fees in connection with the ABL Revolving Credit Facility. During the three month and nine month period ended July 3, 2011, the Company recorded $2,071 of fees in connection with the amendment. The fees are classified as Debt issuance costs within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited) and are amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the remaining life of the ABL Revolving Credit Facility. Pursuant to the credit and security agreement, the obligations under the ABL credit agreement are secured by certain current assets of the guarantors, including, but not limited to, deposit accounts, trade receivables and inventory.
As a result of borrowings and payments under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility at July 3, 2011, the Company had aggregate borrowing availability of approximately $146,893, net of lender reserves of $48,769 and outstanding letters of credit of $24,105.
8 | DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
Derivative financial instruments are used by the Company principally in the management of its interest rate, foreign currency and raw material price exposures. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. When hedge accounting is elected at inception, the Company formally designates the financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure if such criteria are met, and documents both the risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge. The Company formally assesses both at the inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the financial instruments that are used in hedging transactions are effective at offsetting changes in the forecasted cash flows of the related underlying exposure. Because of the high degree of effectiveness between the hedging instrument and the underlying exposure being hedged, fluctuations in the value of the derivative instruments are generally offset by changes in the forecasted cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. Any ineffective portion of a financial instruments change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. For derivatives that are not designated as cash flow hedges, or do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the change in the fair value is also immediately recognized in earnings.

Cash Flow Hedges
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of AOCI and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, are recognized in current earnings.

Credit Risk
The Company is exposed to the default risk of the counterparties with which the Company transacts. The Company monitors counterparty credit risk on an individual basis by periodically assessing each such counterpartys credit rating exposure. The maximum loss due to credit risk equals the fair value of the gross asset derivatives that are primarily concentrated with a foreign financial institution counterparty. The Company considers these exposures when measuring its credit reserve on its derivative assets, which was $62 and $75 at July 3, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively. Additionally, the Company does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk.
The Companys standard contracts do not contain credit risk related contingent features whereby the Company would be required to post additional cash collateral as a result of a credit event. However, the Company is typically required to post collateral in the normal course of business to offset its liability positions. At July 3, 2011 and September 30, 2010, the Company had posted cash collateral of $294 and $2,363, respectively, related to such liability positions. In addition, at July 3, 2011 and September 30, 2010, the Company had posted standby letters of credit of $2,000 and $4,000, respectively, related to such liability positions. The cash collateral is included in Current AssetsReceivables-Other within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited).
Derivative Financial Instruments
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk. The swaps are designated as cash flow hedges with the changes in fair value recorded in AOCI and as a derivative hedge asset or liability, as applicable. The swaps settle periodically in arrears with the related amounts for the current settlement period payable to, or receivable from, the counter-parties included in accrued liabilities or receivables, respectively, and recognized in earnings as an adjustment to interest expense from the underlying debt to which the swap is designated. At July 3, 2011, the Company had a portfolio of U.S. dollar-denominated interest rate swaps outstanding which effectively fix the interest on floating rate debt, exclusive of lender spreads as follows: 2.25% for a notional principal amount of $300,000 through December 2011 and 2.29% for a notional principal amount of $300,000 through January 2012. At September 30, 2010, the Company had a portfolio of U.S. dollar-denominated interest rate swaps outstanding which effectively fixed the interest on floating rate debt, exclusive of lender spreads as follows: 2.25% for a notional principal amount of $300,000

through December 2011 and 2.29% for a notional principal amount of $300,000 through January 2012 (the U.S. dollar swaps). The derivative net loss on these contracts recorded in AOCI by the Company at July 3, 2011 was $(1,172), net of tax benefit of $718. The derivative net (loss) on the U.S. dollar swaps contracts recorded in AOCI by the Company at September 30, 2010 was $(2,675), net of tax benefit of $1,640. At July 3, 2011, the portion of derivative net losses estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings by the Company over the next 12 months is $(1,172), net of tax.
The Company periodically enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the risk from forecasted foreign denominated third party and intercompany sales or payments. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, Australian Dollars, Brazilian Reals, Canadian Dollars or Japanese Yen. These foreign exchange contracts are cash flow hedges of fluctuating foreign exchange related to sales of product or raw material purchases. Until the sale or purchase is recognized, the fair value of the related hedge is recorded in AOCI and as a derivative hedge asset or liability, as applicable. At the time the sale or purchase is recognized, the fair value of the related hedge is reclassified as an adjustment to Net sales or purchase price variance in Cost of goods sold. At July 3, 2011 the Company had a series of foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding through September 2012 with a contract value of $270,955. At September 30, 2010, the Company had a series of foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding through June 2012 with a contract value of $299,993. The derivative net loss on these contracts recorded in AOCI by the Company at July 3, 2011 was $(10,301), net of tax benefit of $4,270. The derivative net (loss) on these contracts recorded in AOCI by the Company at September 30, 2010 was $(5,322), net of tax benefit of $2,204. At July 3, 2011, the portion of derivative net losses estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings by the Company over the next 12 months is $(9,251), net of tax.
The Company is exposed to risk from fluctuating prices for raw materials, specifically zinc used in its manufacturing processes. The Company hedges a portion of the risk associated with these materials through the use of commodity swaps. The hedge contracts are designated as cash flow hedges with the fair value changes recorded in AOCI and as a hedge asset or liability, as applicable. The unrecognized changes in fair value of the hedge contracts are reclassified from AOCI into earnings when the hedged purchase of raw materials also affects earnings. The swaps effectively fix the floating price on a specified quantity of raw materials through a specified date. At July 3, 2011 the Company had a series of such swap contracts outstanding through September 2012 for 10 tons with a contract value of $20,872. At September 30, 2010, the Company had a series of such swap contracts outstanding through September 2012 for 15 tons with a contract value of $28,897. The derivative net gain on these contracts recorded in AOCI by the Company at July 3, 2011 was $2,153, net of tax expense of $1,147. The derivative net gain on these contracts recorded in AOCI by the Company at September 30, 2010 was $2,256, net of tax expense of $1,201. At July 3, 2011, the portion of derivative net gains estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings by the Company over the next 12 months is $1,246, net of tax.
Derivative Contracts
The Company periodically enters into forward and swap foreign exchange contracts to economically hedge the risk from third party and intercompany payments resulting from existing obligations. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars, Euros or Australian Dollars. These foreign exchange contracts are fair value hedges of a related liability or asset recorded in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited). The gain or loss on the derivative hedge contracts is recorded in earnings as an offset to the change in value of the related liability or asset at each period end. At July 3, 2011 and September 30, 2010, the Company had $277,510 and $333,562, respectively, of notional value for such foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding.
9 | FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
ASC Topic 820: Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, (ASC 820) establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands related disclosures. Broadly, the ASC 820 framework requires fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. ASC 820 establishes market or observable inputs as the preferred source of values, followed by assumptions based on hypothetical transactions in the absence of market inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that attempt to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The determination of the fair values considers various factors, including closing exchange or over-the-counter market pricing quotations, time value and credit quality factors underlying options and contracts. The fair value of certain derivative financial instruments is estimated using pricing models based on contracts with similar terms and risks. Modeling techniques assume market correlation and volatility, such as using prices of one delivery point to calculate the price of the contracts different delivery point. The nominal value of interest rate transactions is discounted using applicable forward interest rate curves. In addition, by applying a credit reserve which is calculated based on credit default swaps or published default probabilities for the actual and potential asset value, the fair value of

(Amounts in thousands, except per share figures)
the Companys derivative financial instruments assets reflects the risk that the counterparties to these contracts may default on the obligations. Likewise, by assessing the requirements of a reserve for non-performance, which is calculated based on the probability of default by the Company, the Company adjusts its derivative contract liabilities to reflect the price at which a potential market participant would be willing to assume the Companys liabilities. The Company has not changed its valuation techniques in measuring the fair value of any financial assets and liabilities during the periods presented.
The valuation techniques required by ASC 820 are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions made by the Company. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 | Unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. | |
Level 2 | Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. | |
Level 3 | Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable. |
The Company maintains policies and procedures to value instruments using the best and most relevant data available. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls must be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Companys assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. In addition, the Company has risk management teams that review valuation, including independent price validation for certain instruments. Further, in other instances, the Company retains independent pricing vendors to assist in valuing certain instruments.
The Companys derivatives are valued using internal models, which are based on market observable inputs including interest rate curves and both forward and spot prices for currencies and commodities.
The Companys net derivative portfolio as of July 3, 2011, contains Level 2 instruments and represents commodity, interest rate and foreign exchange contracts.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable and short-term debt approximate fair value. The fair values of long-term debt and derivative financial instruments are generally based on quoted or observed market prices.
Goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets are also tested annually, or more frequently if a triggering event occurs that indicates an impairment loss may have been incurred, using fair value measurements with unobservable inputs (Level 3). (See also Note 2, Significant Accounting PoliciesIntangible Assets, for further details on impairment testing.)

10 | EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS |
Pension Benefits
The Company has various defined benefit pension plans covering some of its employees in the U.S. and certain employees in other countries, primarily the United Kingdom and Germany. These pension plans generally provide benefits of stated amounts for each year of service. The Company funds its U.S. pension plans in accordance with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) defined guidelines and, where applicable, in amounts sufficient to satisfy the minimum funding requirements of applicable laws. Additionally, in compliance with the Companys funding policy, annual contributions to non-U.S. defined benefit plans are equal to the actuarial recommendations or statutory requirements in the respective countries. The Company also sponsors or participates in a number of other non-U.S. pension arrangements, including various retirement and termination benefit plans, some of which are covered by local law or coordinated with government-sponsored plans, which are not significant in the aggregate and therefore are not included in the information presented below. The Company also has various nonqualified deferred compensation agreements with certain of its employees. Under certain of these agreements, the Company has agreed to pay certain amounts annually for the first 15 years subsequent to retirement or to a designated beneficiary upon death. It is managements intent that life insurance contracts owned by the Company will fund these agreements. Under the remaining agreements, the Company has agreed to pay such deferred amounts in up to 15 annual installments beginning on a date specified by the employee, subsequent to retirement or disability, or to a designated beneficiary upon death.
Other Benefits
Under the Rayovac postretirement plan, the Company provides certain health care and life insurance benefits to eligible retired employees. Participants earn retiree health care benefits over the succeeding years of service after reaching age 45 and remain eligible until reaching age 65. The plan is contributory and, accordingly, retiree contributions have been established as a flat dollar amount with contribution rates expected to increase at the active medical trend rate. This plan is unfunded.
Under the Tetra U.S. postretirement plan, the Company provides postretirement medical benefits to full-time employees who meet minimum age and service requirements. The plan is contributory with retiree contributions adjusted annually and contains other cost-sharing features such as deductibles, coinsurance and copayments.

12 | SEGMENT RESULTS |
Effective October 1, 2010 the Company began managing its business in three vertically integrated, product-focused reporting segments: (i) Global Batteries & Appliances; (ii) Global Pet Supplies; and (iii) the Home and Garden Business (See Note 1, Description of Business, for additional information regarding the Companys realignment of its reporting segments).
Global strategic initiatives and financial objectives for each reportable segment are determined at the corporate level. Each reportable segment is responsible for implementing defined strategic initiatives and achieving certain financial objectives and has a general manager responsible for the sales and marketing initiatives and financial results for product lines within that segment.
Net sales and Cost of goods sold to other business segments have been eliminated. The gross contribution of intersegment sales is included in the segment selling the product to the external customer. Segment net sales are based upon the segment from which the product is shipped.
The operating segment profits do not include restructuring and related charges, acquisition and integration related charges, reorganization items expense, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense. In connection with the realignment of reportable segments discussed above, as of October 1, 2010, certain general and administrative expenses which were previously reflected in operating segment profits, have been excluded in the determination of reportable segment profits. Accordingly, corporate expenses primarily include general and administrative expenses and global long-term incentive compensation plans costs which are evaluated on a consolidated basis and not allocated to the Companys operating segments. All depreciation and amortization included in income from operations is related to operating segments or corporate expense. Costs are identified to operating segments or corporate expense according to the function of each cost center.
All capital expenditures are related to operating segments. Variable allocations of assets are not made for segment reporting.
The financial information presented herein reflects the impact of all of the segment structure changes discussed above for all periods presented.

The Global Batteries & Appliances segment does business in Venezuela through a Venezuelan subsidiary. At January 4, 2010, the beginning of the Companys second quarter of Fiscal 2010, the Company determined that Venezuela meets the definition of a highly inflationary economy under GAAP. As a result, beginning January 4, 2010, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency for the Companys Venezuelan subsidiary. Accordingly, going forward, currency remeasurement adjustments for this subsidiarys financial statements and other transactional foreign exchange gains and losses are reflected in earnings. Through January 3, 2010, prior to being designated as highly inflationary, translation adjustments related to the Venezuelan subsidiary were reflected in Shareholders equity as a component of AOCI.
In addition, on January 8, 2010, the Venezuelan government announced its intention to devalue its currency, the Bolivar fuerte, relative to the U.S. dollar. The official exchange rate for imported goods classified as essential, such as food and medicine, changed from 2.15 to 2.6 to the U.S. dollar, while payments for other non-essential goods moved to an exchange rate of 4.3 to the U.S. dollar. Some of the Companys imported products fall into the essential classification and qualify for the 2.6 rate; however, the Companys overall results in Venezuela were reflected at the 4.3 rate expected to be applicable to dividend repatriations beginning in the second quarter of Fiscal 2010. As a result, the Company remeasured the local statement of financial position of its Venezuela entity during the second quarter of Fiscal 2010 to reflect the impact of the devaluation. Based on actual exchange activity, the Company determined on September 30, 2010 that the most likely method of exchanging its Bolivar fuertes for U.S. dollars will be to formally apply with the Venezuelan government to exchange through commercial banks at the SITME rate specified by the Central Bank of Venezuela. The SITME rate as of September 30, 2010 was quoted at 5.3 Bolivar fuerte per U.S. dollar. Therefore, the Company changed the rate used to remeasure Bolivar fuerte denominated transactions as of September 30, 2010 from the official non-essentials exchange rate to the 5.3 SITME rate in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters as it is the expected rate that exchanges of Bolivar fuerte to U.S. dollars will be settled. There is also an ongoing immaterial impact related to measuring the Companys Venezuelan statement of operations at the new exchange rate of 5.3 to the U.S. dollar.

The designation of the Companys Venezuela entity as a highly inflationary economy and the devaluation of the Bolivar fuerte resulted in a $150 and $1,306 reduction to the Companys operating income during the three and nine month periods ended July 4, 2010, respectively. The Company also reported a foreign exchange loss in Other expense (income), net, of $5,823 for the nine month period ended July 4, 2010.
13 | RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES |
The Company reports restructuring and related charges associated with manufacturing and related initiatives in Cost of goods sold. Restructuring and related charges reflected in Cost of goods sold include, but are not limited to, termination, compensation and related costs associated with manufacturing employees, asset impairments relating to manufacturing initiatives, and other costs directly related to the restructuring or integration initiatives implemented.
The Company reports restructuring and related charges relating to administrative functions in Operating expenses, such as initiatives impacting sales, marketing, distribution, or other non-manufacturing related functions.

2009 Restructuring Initiatives
The Company implemented a series of initiatives within the Global Batteries & Appliances segment, the Global Pet Supplies segment and the Home and Garden Business segment to reduce operating costs as well as evaluate the Companys opportunities to improve its capital structure (the Global Cost Reduction Initiatives). These initiatives include headcount reductions within each of the Companys segments and the exit of certain facilities in the U.S. related to the Global Pet Supplies and Home and Garden Business segments. These initiatives also included consultation, legal and accounting fees related to the evaluation of the Companys capital structure. The Company recorded $6,462 and $14,569 of pretax restructuring and related charges during the three and nine month periods ended July 3, 2011, respectively, and the Company recorded $2,553 and $13,942 of pretax restructuring and related charges during the three and nine month periods ended July 4, 2010, respectively, related to the Global Cost Reduction Initiatives. Costs associated with these initiatives, which are expected to be incurred through March 31, 2014, are projected to total approximately $65,000.

2007 Restructuring Initiatives
In Fiscal 2007, the Company began managing its business in three vertically integrated, product-focused reporting segments: Global Batteries & Personal Care (which, effective October 1, 2010, includes the appliance portion of Russell Hobbs, collectively, Global Batteries & Appliances), Global Pet Supplies and the Home and Garden Business. As part of this realignment, the Companys Global Operations organization, previously included in corporate expense, consisting of research and development, manufacturing management, global purchasing, quality operations and inbound supply chain, is now included in each of the operating segments. In connection with these changes, the Company undertook a number of cost reduction initiatives, primarily headcount reductions, at the corporate and operating segment levels (the Global Realignment Initiatives). In connection with the Global Realignment Initiatives, the Company recorded $485 and $2,990 of pretax restructuring and related charges during the three and nine month periods ended July 3, 2011, respectively, and $2,098 and $1,115 of pretax restructuring and related charges during the three and nine month periods ended July 4, 2010, respectively. Costs associated with these initiatives, which are expected to be incurred through June 30, 2013, relate primarily to severance and are projected at approximately $92,300, the majority of which are cash costs.

14 | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
The Company has provided for the estimated costs associated with environmental remediation activities at some of its current and former manufacturing sites. The Company believes that any additional liability in excess of the amounts provided of approximately $8,560, which may result from resolution of these matters, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
In December 2009, San Francisco Technology, Inc. filed an action in the Federal District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company, as well as a number of unaffiliated defendants, claiming that each of the defendants had falsely marked patents on certain of its products in violation of Article 35, Section 292 of the U.S. Code and seeking to have civil fines imposed on each of the defendants for such claimed violations. In July 2011, the parties reached a full and final settlement of this matter and the case has been dismissed.
Applica Consumer Products, Inc. (Applica), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is a defendant in three asbestos lawsuits in which the plaintiffs have alleged injury as the result of exposure to asbestos in hair dryers distributed by that subsidiary over 20 years ago. Although Applica never manufactured such products, asbestos was used in certain hair dryers distributed by it prior to 1979. The Company believes that these actions are without merit, but may be unable to resolve the disputes successfully without incurring significant expenses which the Company is unable to estimate at this time. At this time, the Company does not believe it has coverage under its insurance policies for the asbestos lawsuits.
The Company is a defendant in various other matters of litigation generally arising out of the ordinary course of business.

15 | ACQUISITIONS |
Russell Hobbs
On June 16, 2010, the Company consummated the Merger, pursuant to which Spectrum Brands became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Russell Hobbs became a wholly owned subsidiary of Spectrum Brands. Headquartered in Miramar, Florida, Russell Hobbs is a designer, marketer and distributor of a broad range of branded small household appliances. Russell Hobbs markets and distributes small kitchen and home appliances, pet and pest products and personal care products. Russell Hobbs has a broad portfolio of recognized brand names, including Black & Decker, George Foreman, Russell Hobbs, Toastmaster, LitterMaid, Farberware, Breadman and Juiceman. Russell Hobbs customers include mass merchandisers, specialty retailers and appliance distributors primarily in North America, South America, Europe and Australia.
The results of Russell Hobbs operations since June 16, 2010 are included in the Companys Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited). Effective October 1, 2010, substantially all of the financial results of Russell Hobbs are reported within the Global Batteries & Appliances segment. In addition, certain pest control and pet products included in the former Small Appliances segment have been reclassified into the Home and Garden Business and Global Pet Supplies segments, respectively.
In accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (ASC 805), the Company accounted for the Merger by applying the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting requires that the consideration transferred in a business combination be measured at fair value as of the closing date of the acquisition. After consummation of the Merger, the stockholders of Spectrum Brands, inclusive of the Harbinger Parties, owned approximately 60% of SB Holdings and the stockholders of Russell Hobbs owned approximately 40% of SB Holdings. Inasmuch as Russell Hobbs was a private company and its common stock was not publicly traded, the closing market price of the Spectrum Brands common stock at June 15, 2010 was used to calculate the purchase price. The total purchase price of Russell Hobbs was approximately $597,579 determined as follows:

Pre-Acquisition Contingencies Assumed
The Company has evaluated pre-acquisition contingencies relating to Russell Hobbs that existed as of the acquisition date. Based on the evaluation, the Company has determined that certain pre-acquisition contingencies are probable in nature and estimable as of the acquisition date. Accordingly, the Company has recorded its best estimates for these contingencies as part of the purchase price allocation for Russell Hobbs. The Company continues to gather information relating to all pre-acquisition contingencies that it has assumed from Russell Hobbs. As the measurement period has closed, adjustments to pre-acquisition contingency amounts are reflected in the Companys results of operations.
ASC 805 requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Accordingly, the Company performed a preliminary valuation of the assets and liabilities of Russell Hobbs at June 16, 2010. Significant adjustments as a result of the purchase price allocation are summarized as follows:
| InventoriesAn adjustment of $1,721 was recorded to adjust inventory to fair value. Finished goods were valued at estimated selling prices less the sum of costs of disposal and a reasonable profit allowance for the selling effort. |
| Deferred tax liabilities, netAn adjustment of $43,086 was recorded to adjust deferred taxes for the preliminary fair value allocations. |
| Property, plant and equipment, netAn adjustment of $(455) was recorded to adjust the net book value of property, plant and equipment to fair value giving consideration to their highest and best use. Key assumptions used in the valuation of the Companys property, plant and equipment were based on the cost approach. |
| Certain indefinite-lived intangible assets were valued using a relief from royalty methodology. Customer relationships and certain definite-lived intangible assets were valued using a multi-period excess earnings method. Certain intangible assets are subject to sensitive business factors of which only a portion are within control of the Companys management. The total fair value of indefinite and definite lived intangibles was $363,327 as of June 16, 2010. A summary of the significant key inputs were as follows: |
| The Company valued customer relationships using the income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method. In determining the fair value of the customer relationship, the multi-period excess earnings approach values the intangible asset at the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable only to the customer relationship after deducting contributory asset charges. The incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to the subject intangible asset are then discounted to their present value. Only expected sales from |

current customers were used, which included an expected growth rate of 3%. The Company assumed a customer retention rate of approximately 93%, which was supported by historical retention rates. Income taxes were estimated at 36% and amounts were discounted using a rate of 15.5%. The customer relationships were valued at $38,000 under this approach. |
| The Company valued trade names and trademarks using the income approach, specifically the relief from royalty method. Under this method, the asset value was determined by estimating the hypothetical royalties that would have to be paid if the trade name was not owned. Royalty rates were selected based on consideration of several factors, including prior transactions of Russell Hobbs related trademarks and trade names, other similar trademark licensing and transaction agreements and the relative profitability and perceived contribution of the trademarks and trade names. Royalty rates used in the determination of the fair values of trade names and trademarks ranged from 2.0% to 5.5% of expected net sales related to the respective trade names and trademarks. The Company anticipates using the majority of the trade names and trademarks for an indefinite period as demonstrated by the sustained use of each subject trademark. In estimating the fair value of the trademarks and trade names, Net sales for significant trade names and trademarks were estimated to grow at a rate of 1%-14% annually with a terminal year growth rate of 3%. Income taxes were estimated at a range of 30%-38% and amounts were discounted using rates between 15.5%-16.5%. Trade name and trademarks were valued at $170,930 under this approach. |
| The Company valued a trade name license agreement using the income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method. In determining the fair value of the trade name license agreement, the multi-period excess earnings approach values the intangible asset at the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable only to the trade name license agreement after deducting contributory asset charges. The incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to the subject intangible asset are then discounted to their present value. In estimating the fair value of the trade name license agreement, net sales were estimated to grow at a rate of (3)%-1% annually. The Company assumed a twelve year useful life of the trade name license agreement. Income taxes were estimated at 37% and amounts were discounted using a rate of 15.5%. The trade name license agreement was valued at $149,200 under this approach. |
| The Company valued technology using the income approach, specifically the relief from royalty method. Under this method, the asset value was determined by estimating the hypothetical royalties that would have to be paid if the technology was not owned. Royalty rates were selected based on consideration of several factors, including prior transactions of Russell Hobbs related licensing agreements and the importance of the technology and profit levels, among other considerations. Royalty rates used in the determination of the fair values of technologies were 2% of expected net sales related to the respective technology. The Company anticipates using these technologies through the legal life of the underlying patent and therefore the expected life of these technologies was equal to the remaining legal life of the underlying patents ranging from 9 to 11 years. In estimating the fair value of the technologies, net sales were estimated to grow at a rate of 3%-12% annually. Income taxes were estimated at 37% and amounts were discounted using the rate of 15.5%. The technology assets were valued at $4,100 under this approach. |

(the Merger Agreement). As a result of the Merger, each of Spectrum Brands and Russell Hobbs became a wholly-owned subsidiary of SB Holdings. At the effective time of the Merger, (i) the outstanding shares of Spectrum Brands common stock were canceled and converted into the right to receive shares of SB Holdings common stock, and (ii) the outstanding shares of Russell Hobbs common stock and preferred stock were canceled and converted into the right to receive shares of SB Holdings common stock.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on February 9, 2010, Spectrum Brands entered into support agreements with the Harbinger Parties and Avenue International Master, L.P. and certain of its affiliates (the Avenue Parties), in which the Harbinger Parties and the Avenue Parties agreed to vote their shares of Spectrum Brands common stock acquired before the date of the Merger Agreement in favor of the Merger and against any alternative proposal that would impede the Merger.
Immediately following the consummation of the Merger, the Harbinger Parties owned approximately 64% of the outstanding SB Holdings common stock and the stockholders of Spectrum Brands (other than the Harbinger Parties) owned approximately 36% of the outstanding SB Holdings common stock.

| the Harbinger Parties will not effect any transfer of equity securities of SB Holdings to any person that would result in such person and its affiliates owning 40% or more of the outstanding voting securities of SB Holdings, unless specified conditions are met; and |
| the Harbinger Parties will be granted certain access and informational rights with respect to SB Holdings and its subsidiaries. |
Pursuant to a joinder to the Stockholder Agreement entered into by the Harbinger Parties and HRG, upon consummation of the Share Exchange, HRG became a party to the Stockholder Agreement, and is subject to all of the covenants, terms and conditions of the Stockholder Agreement to the same extent as the Harbinger Parties were bound thereunder prior to giving effect to the Share Exchange.
Certain provisions of the Stockholder Agreement terminate on the date on which the Harbinger Parties or HRG no longer constitutes a Significant Stockholder (as defined in the Stockholder Agreement).

17 | NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
Revenue Recognition Multiple-Element Arrangements
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new accounting guidance addressing the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable entities to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. The provisions establish the accounting and reporting guidance for arrangements under which the entity will perform multiple revenue-generating activities. Specifically, this guidance addresses how to separate deliverables and how to measure and allocate arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. The Company adopted the new guidance on October 1, 2010 and the adoption did not impact the Companys financial statements and related disclosures.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Introduction
Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (SB Holdings), is a diversified global branded consumer products company and was created in connection with the combination of Spectrum Brands, Inc. (Spectrum Brands), a global branded consumer products company and Russell Hobbs, Inc. (Russell Hobbs), a global branded small appliance company, to form a new combined company (the Merger). The Merger was consummated on June 16, 2010. As a result of the Merger, both Spectrum Brands and Russell Hobbs are wholly-owned subsidiaries of SB Holdings and Russell Hobbs is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Spectrum Brands. SB Holdings common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE) under the symbol SPB.
In connection with the Merger, we refinanced Spectrum Brands existing senior debt, except for Spectrum Brands 12% Senior Subordinated Toggle Notes due 2019 (the 12% Notes), which remain outstanding, and a portion of Russell Hobbs existing senior debt through a combination of a $750 million Term Loan due June 16, 2016, $750 million 9.5% Senior Secured Notes maturing June 15, 2018 (the 9.5% Notes) and a $300 million ABL revolving facility due June 16, 2014 (the ABL Revolving Credit Facility). The term loan facility established in connection with the Merger was subsequently refinanced in February 2011 (the Term Loan), and the ABL Revolving Credit Facility was amended in April 2011. See Liquidity and Capital Resources, Financing Activities below, as well as Note 7, Debt, to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding our outstanding debt.
On June 28, 2011 we filed a Form S-3 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under which 1.2 million shares of our common stock and 6.3 million shares of our common stock held by Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd. (the Selling Stockholder) were offered to the public. Net proceeds to us from the sale of the 1.2 million shares, after underwriting discounts and estimated expenses, were approximately $30 million. We did not receive any proceeds from the sale of our common stock by the Selling Stockholder. We expect to use the net proceeds of the sale of common shares for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, working capital needs, the refinancing of existing indebtedness, the expansion of our business and acquisitions.
As further described below, on February 3, 2009, we and our wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries (collectively, the Debtors) filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the Bankruptcy Code) in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas (the Bankruptcy Court). On August 28, 2009 (the Effective Date), the Debtors emerged from Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Effective as of the Effective Date and pursuant to the Debtors confirmed plan of reorganization, we converted from a Wisconsin corporation to a Delaware corporation.
Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms the Company, Spectrum, we, our or us are used to refer to SB Holdings and its subsidiaries subsequent to the Merger and Spectrum Brands prior to the Merger, as well as before, on and after the Effective Date. The term Old Spectrum refers only to Spectrum Brands, our Wisconsin predecessor, and its subsidiaries prior to the Effective Date.
Business Overview
We are a diversified global branded consumer products company with positions in seven major product categories: consumer batteries; pet supplies; home and garden control products; electric shaving and grooming products; small appliances; electric personal care products; and portable lighting.
Effective October 1, 2010, our chief operating decision-maker decided to manage the businesses in three vertically integrated, product-focused reporting segments: (i) Global Batteries & Appliances, which consists of our worldwide battery, electric shaving and grooming, electric personal care, portable lighting business and small appliances primarily in the kitchen and home product categories (Global Batteries & Appliances); (ii) Global Pet Supplies, which consists of our worldwide pet supplies business (Global Pet Supplies); and (iii) Home and Garden Business, which consists of our home and garden and insect control business (the Home and Garden Business). The current reporting segment structure reflects the combination of the former Global Batteries & Personal Care segment (Global Batteries & Personal Care), which consisted of the worldwide battery, electric shaving and grooming, electric personal care and portable lighting business, with substantially all of the former Small Appliances segment (Small Appliances), which consisted of the Russell Hobbs businesses acquired on June 16, 2010, to form the Global Batteries & Appliances segment. In addition, certain pest control and pet products included in the former Small Appliances segment have been reclassified into the Home and Garden Business and Global Pet Supplies segments, respectively. The presentation of all historical segment reporting herein has been changed to conform to this segment reporting.
We manufacture and market alkaline, zinc carbon and hearing aid batteries, herbicides, insecticides and repellants and specialty pet supplies. We design and market rechargeable batteries, battery-powered lighting products, electric shavers and accessories, grooming products and hair care appliances. With the addition of Russell Hobbs we design, market and distribute a broad range of
36
branded small household appliances and personal care products. Our manufacturing and product development facilities are located in the United States, Europe, Latin America and Asia. Substantially all of our rechargeable batteries and chargers, shaving and grooming products, small household appliances, personal care products and portable lighting products are manufactured by third-party suppliers, primarily located in Asia.
We sell our products in approximately 130 countries through a variety of trade channels, including retailers, wholesalers and distributors, hearing aid professionals, industrial distributors and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and enjoy strong name recognition in our markets under the Rayovac, VARTA and Remington brands, each of which has been in existence for more than 80 years, and under the Tetra, 8-in-1, Spectracide, Cutter, Black & Decker, George Foreman, Russell Hobbs, Farberware and various other brands.
Global and geographic strategic initiatives and financial objectives are determined at the corporate level. Each business segment is responsible for implementing defined strategic initiatives and achieving certain financial objectives and has a general manager responsible for sales and marketing initiatives and the financial results for all product lines within that business segment.
Our operating performance is influenced by a number of factors including: general economic conditions; foreign exchange fluctuations; trends in consumer markets; consumer confidence and preferences; our overall product line mix, including pricing and gross margin, which vary by product line and geographic market; pricing of certain raw materials and commodities; energy and fuel prices; and our general competitive position, especially as impacted by our competitors advertising and promotional activities and pricing strategies.

Global consumer battery sales increased $4 million, or 2%, during the Fiscal 2011 Quarter primarily driven by increases in North America and Europe of $3 million and $12 million, respectively, which were partially offset by decreases in Latin American sales of $11 million. The increases within North America were driven by distribution gains at a major customer, whereas increases in Europe were driven by customer gains and increased placement with retailers coupled with a $9 million favorable foreign exchange impact. The decrease within Latin America was driven by lower zinc carbon battery sales of $9 million and lower alkaline sales of $2 million. The decrease in both zinc carbon and alkaline battery sales was predominantly driven by decreased volume and price in Brazil resulting from competitive pressures. Pet supply sales increased $6 million, or 4%, during the Fiscal 2011 Quarter, which was primarily attributable to improved consumption trends at key retailers as well as favorable foreign exchange. During the Fiscal 2011 Quarter, electric shaving and grooming product sales increased $1 million, or 2%, primarily due to increased sales within North America as a result of distribution gains and increased online sales. Electric personal care sales increased $10 million, or 23%, during the Fiscal 2011 Quarter, primarily due to increased sales in North America and Europe of $4 million and $5 million, respectively, as a result of new product introductions, distribution gains, increased online sales and regional growth into Eastern Europe coupled with favorable foreign exchange impacts of $3 million. Home and garden control product sales decreased $10 million, or 6%, during the Fiscal 2011 Quarter compared to the Fiscal 2010 Quarter. The decrease is primarily attributable to unseasonable weather in the United States which negatively impacted the lawn and garden season. The $2 million, or 10%, increase in portable lighting sales during the Fiscal 2011 Quarter was primarily driven by new distribution channels added during the quarter.
Global consumer battery sales decreased $2 million, or less than 1%, during the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months, primarily driven by lower Latin American sales of $21 million which were tempered by increased North American sales of $16 million and favorable foreign exchange translation of $3 million. North American sales increased as a result of strong holiday sales during our first fiscal quarter and new distribution channels added during the year. Latin American sales decreased due to the factors discussed in the Fiscal 2011 Quarter. The $6 million, or 1%, decrease in pet supplies sales during the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months resulted from decreases in aquatics sales of $13 million resulting from macroeconomic factors which were offset by an increase in companion animal sales of $3 million primarily attributable to the same factors mentioned above during the Fiscal 2011 Quarter, coupled with favorable foreign exchange of $4 million. During the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months, electric shaving and grooming product sales increased $15 million, or 8%, primarily due to increases within North America, Europe and Latin America of $6 million, $5 million and $2 million, respectively, due to distribution gains. Electric personal care sales increased $24 million, or 14%, during the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months, primarily due to increased sales in North America and Europe of $7 million and $14 million, respectively, resulting from the factors listed above for the Fiscal 2011 Quarter as well as successful in-store promotions. Home and garden control product sales increased $4 million, or 2%, during the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months compared to the Fiscal 2010 Nine Months. The increase was attributable to increased distribution and product placements with major customers which were tempered by the factors listed above for the Fiscal 2011 Quarter. Portable lighting products sales increased slightly to $66 million during the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months compared to $65 million during the Fiscal 2010 Nine Months due to the factors listed above for the Fiscal 2011 Quarter.
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the Fiscal 2011 Quarter was $294 million versus $253 million for the Fiscal 2010 Quarter. Our gross profit margin for the Fiscal 2011 Quarter decreased to 36.5% from 38.7% in the Fiscal 2010 Quarter. The increase in gross profit is primarily attributable to the Merger, which contributed $26 million of increased gross profit in the Fiscal 2011 Quarter compared to the Fiscal 2010 Quarter. The decrease in gross profit margin is attributable to the change in overall product mix as a result of the Merger. Gross profit for the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months was $848 million versus $647 million for the Fiscal 2010 Nine Months. Our gross profit margin decreased to 36.0% from 36.4% in the Fiscal 2010 Nine Months. The increase in gross profit for the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months is also attributable to the Merger, which increased gross profit by $134 million during the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months compared to the Fiscal 2010 Nine Months, coupled with the non-recurrence of a $34 million inventory revaluation charge we recognized in the Fiscal 2010 Nine
38
Months associated with our adoption of fresh-start reporting upon emergence from Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Inventory balances were revalued at August 30, 2009 resulting in an increase in such inventory balances of $49 million. As a result of the inventory revaluation, we recognized $34 million in additional cost of goods sold during the Fiscal 2010 Nine Months.
Operating Expense. Operating expenses for the Fiscal 2011 Quarter totaled $215 million versus $193 million for the Fiscal 2010 Quarter representing an increase of $22 million. The increase in operating expenses during the Fiscal 2011 Quarter is primarily attributable to the Merger, which contributed an increase of $19 million of operating expenses in the Fiscal 2011 Quarter compared to the Fiscal 2010 Quarter. The remaining increase is predominantly driven by increased stock compensation expense of $3 million, a negative foreign exchange impact of $9 million and a $2 million increase in restructuring and related charges, offset by decreased acquisition and integration charges of $10 million. Operating expenses for the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months totaled $653 million versus $523 million for the Fiscal 2010 Nine Months, representing an increase of $130 million. The increase in operating expenses during the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months is also primarily attributable to the Merger, which increased operating expenses by $95 million in the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months compared to the Fiscal 2010 Nine Months. Also contributing to the increase in operating expenses was a $9 million increase in Acquisition and integration related charges, which are primarily related to the Merger, negative foreign exchange impact of $9 million and increased stock compensation expense of $11 million. See Acquisition and Integration Related Charges below, as well as Note 2, Significant Accounting PoliciesAcquisition and Integration Related Charges, to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding our acquisition and integration related charges.
Segment Results. As discussed above, we manage our business in three reportable segments: (i) Global Batteries & Appliances; (ii) Global Pet Supplies; and (iii) our Home and Garden Business.
The operating segment profits do not include restructuring and related charges, acquisition and integration related charges, reorganization items expense, net, other expenses, net, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense. In connection with the realignment of reportable segments discussed above, as of October 1, 2010, certain general and administrative expenses that were previously reflected in operating segment profits, have been excluded in the determination of reportable segment profits. Accordingly, corporate expenses primarily include general and administrative expenses and global long-term incentive compensation plan costs which are evaluated on a consolidated basis and not allocated to our operating segments. Costs are identified to operating segments or corporate expense according to the function of each cost center.
All depreciation and amortization included in income from operations is related to operating segments or corporate expense. These costs are allocated to operating segments or corporate expense according to the function of each cost center. All capital expenditures are related to operating segments. Variable allocations of assets are not made for segment reporting.
Global strategic initiatives and financial objectives for each reportable segment are determined at the corporate level. Each reportable segment is responsible for implementing defined strategic initiatives and achieving certain financial objectives and has a general manager responsible for the sales and marketing initiatives and financial results for product lines within that segment. Financial information pertaining to our reportable segments is contained in Note 12, Segment Results, to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurement, is a metric used by management and frequently used by the financial community, which provides insight into an organizations 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 EBITDA can also be a useful measure of a companys ability to service debt and is one of the measures used for determining our debt covenant compliance. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items that are unusual in nature or not comparable from period to period. While we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace our GAAP financial results and should be read in conjunction with those GAAP results.

Segment sales to external customers in the Fiscal 2011 Quarter increased $151 million to $505 million from $354 million during the Fiscal 2010 Quarter, a 43% increase. The Merger accounted for a sales increase of $136 million in the small appliances product category during the Fiscal 2011 Quarter. Favorable foreign currency exchange translation increased sales of Global Batteries & Appliances during the Fiscal 2011 Quarter by approximately $19 million. Consumer battery sales for the Fiscal 2011 Quarter increased to $198 million compared to sales of $194 million in the Fiscal 2010 Quarter. The increase in sales is primarily attributable to increases of $12 million and $3 million in Europe and North America, which were tempered by decreased sales of $11 million in Latin America. The increase in Europe was driven by customer gains, increased placement with retailers and regional expansion into Eastern Europe coupled with favorable foreign currency impacts. The reduction in Latin America was driven by lower zinc carbon battery sales of $9 million and alkaline battery sales of $2 million, predominantly driven by decreased volume and price in Brazil as a result of competitive pressures. Sales of electric shaving and grooming products in the Fiscal 2011 Quarter increased by $1 million from their levels in the Fiscal 2010 Quarter, primarily due to increases within North America resulting from successful new product launches. Sales of electric personal care products in the Fiscal 2011 Quarter increased by $10 million compared to the Fiscal 2010 Quarter driven by increased sales in North America and Europe of $4 million and $5 million, respectively. The personal care products net sales growth was attributable to a combination of successful new product introductions, distribution gains, increased online sales and regional expansion into Eastern Europe. Sales of portable lighting products for the Fiscal 2011 Quarter increased to $23 million as compared to sales of $21 million for the Fiscal 2010 Quarter, driven by new distribution channels added during the quarter.
Segment sales to external customers in the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months increased $570 million to $1,661 million from $1,091 million during the Fiscal 2010 Nine Months, a 52% increase. The Merger accounted for a sales increase of $532 million in the small appliances product category during the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months. Favorable foreign currency exchange translation increased sales of
41
Global Batteries & Appliances during the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months by approximately $8 million. Consumer battery sales for the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months decreased slightly to $627 million when compared to sales of $629 million in the Fiscal 2010 Nine Months driven by decreased Latin American sales of $21 million due to the factors listed above for the Fiscal 2011 Quarter which were tempered by increased sales of alkaline batteries in North America of $16 million and favorable foreign exchange of $3 million. The increased North American sales were driven by strong holiday sales in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011 and distribution gains during the year. Sales of electric shaving and grooming products in the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months increased by $15 million from their levels in the Fiscal 2010 Nine Months primarily due to increases within North America, Europe and Latin America of $6 million, $5 million and $2 million, respectively. Sales of electric personal care products in the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months increased by $24 million compared to the Fiscal 2010 Nine Months due to increased sales in North America and Europe of $7 million and $14 million, respectively. The electronic shaving and grooming products and electronic personal care products sales growth was attributable to the factors mentioned above for the Fiscal 2011 Quarter sales increase. Sales of portable lighting products for the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months increased slightly to $66 million as compared to sales of $65 million for the Fiscal 2010 Nine Months due to the factors listed above for the Fiscal 2011 Quarter.
Segment profit in the Fiscal 2011 Quarter increased to $45 million from $35 million in the Fiscal 2010 Quarter. The increase during the Fiscal 2011 Quarter was due to an increase in the segment profit realized from the Merger of $7 million as well as increased sales which contributed to an increase of $3 million in profit. Segment profit as a percentage of sales in the Fiscal 2011 Quarter decreased to 9.0% from 10.0% in the same period last year due to decreased margins of approximately $10 million resulting from the change in overall product mix as a result of the Merger, as well as increases in commodity prices of $8 million, which were offset by efficiencies from the cost reduction initiatives announced in Fiscal 2009 of $2 million and favorable foreign exchange impacts of $5 million. Segment profit during the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months increased to $180 million from $118 million in the Fiscal 2010 Nine Months due to increased segment profits realized from the Merger of $38 million, increased sales volumes resulting in $11 million in profits and the non-recurrence of a $19 million increase in cost of goods sold that resulted from the sale of inventory that was revalued in connection with our adoption of fresh-start reporting upon emergence from Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, that we recognized during the first quarter of Fiscal 2010. Segment profit as a percentage of sales was 10.9% during both the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months and the Fiscal 2010 Nine Months resulting from the previously mentioned non-recurring increase in cost of goods sold from the sale of revalued inventory in the Fiscal 2010 Nine Months and favorable foreign exchange impacts in the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months of $12 million, which were offset by increases in commodity prices of $15 million and decreased margins due to changes in the product mix from the Merger of $15 million during the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $63 million in both the Fiscal 2011 Quarter and the Fiscal 2010 Quarter. Segment Adjusted EBITDA in the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months was $231 million compared to $225 million in the Fiscal 2010 Nine Months. The increase in the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months Adjusted EBITDA is mainly driven by synergies from our Russell Hobbs integration of $16 million coupled with increases in market share in certain of our product categories and favorable foreign exchange, which were offset by the increased commodity prices and decreased margins mentioned above.
Segment assets at July 3, 2011 decreased to $2,378 million from $2,477 million at September 30, 2010. Goodwill and intangible assets, which are directly a result of the revaluation impacts of fresh-start reporting and the Merger decreased slightly at July 3, 2011 to $1,351 million from $1,355 million at September 30, 2010.

Segment profit in the Fiscal 2011 Quarter was $19 million versus $18 million in the Fiscal 2010 Quarter. Segment profit as a percentage of sales in the Fiscal 2011 Quarter increased to 13.4% from 13.0% in the same period last year. The increase in segment profit for the Fiscal 2011 Quarter was mainly attributed to increased sales coupled with savings of $4 million, due to improved operational efficiencies as we implement cost reduction initiatives within this segment, which was offset by an increase in commodity prices of $1 million and decreased margins of $3 million due to promotional activities. Segment profit in the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months was $54 million versus $38 million in the Fiscal 2010 Nine Months. Segment profit as a percentage of sales in the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months increased to 12.7% versus 9.1% in the Fiscal 2010 Nine Months. This was primarily attributable to the more efficient cost structure mentioned above which generated savings of $7 million for the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months as well as the non-recurrence of a $14 million increase in cost of goods sold that resulted from the sale of inventory that was revalued in connection with our adoption of fresh-start reporting that we recognized during the first quarter of Fiscal 2010, which were offset by an increase in commodity prices of $4 million and decreased margins of $5 million due to promotional activities.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA in the Fiscal 2011 Quarter was $25 million compared to $26 million in the Fiscal 2010 Quarter. Segment Adjusted EBITDA in the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months was $71 million compared to $78 million in the Fiscal 2010 Nine Months. The decline in the Fiscal 2011 Quarter is driven by increased commodity prices, decreased margins and negative foreign exchange impacts which were partially offset by increased revenues and lower operating expenses as a result of the more efficient cost structure mentioned above. The decline in the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months Adjusted EBITDA is driven by lower margins resulting from promotional activities and increased commodity prices, partially offset by lower operating expenses.
Segment assets at July 3, 2011 increased to $867 million from $839 million at September 30, 2010. The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Seed Resources, LLC during the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months, and the impact of favorable foreign currency translation. Goodwill and intangible assets, which are a result of the revaluation impacts of fresh-start reporting, the Merger and the acquisition of Seed Resources, LLC increased slightly to $616 million at July 3, 2011, from $602 million at September 30, 2010.

Segment sales to external customers in the Fiscal 2011 Quarter decreased to $156 million from $164 million in the Fiscal 2010 Quarter. The Merger accounted for a sales increase of $1 million during the Fiscal 2011 Quarter. Excluding the Merger, the $9 million decrease in sales is primarily attributable to severe weather in the United States during the quarter which negatively impacted the lawn and garden season. Segment sales to external customers in the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months increased to $273 million from $266 million in the Fiscal 2010 Nine Months. The increase is due to distribution gains across all customers which were partially offset by poor weather conditions.

Segment profit as a percentage of sales in the Fiscal 2011 Quarter increased to 27.6% from 24.4% in the same period last year. This improvement in segment profit is attributed to the more efficient cost structure now in place from our cost reduction initiatives announced in Fiscal 2009 which contributed $2 million in savings coupled with decreased input costs resulting in margin improvement of $3 million which were offset by decreases due to lower sales volumes. Segment profit in the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months increased to $51 million from $41 million in the Fiscal 2010 Nine Months.

Corporate Expense. Our corporate expense in the Fiscal 2011 Quarter was $14 million compared to $12 million during the Fiscal 2010 Quarter.

Our corporate expense during the Fiscal 2011 Nine Months was $41 million compared to $35 million during the Fiscal 2010 Nine Months.
