NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This ASU requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented on a balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability, similar to the presentation of debt discounts. Current guidance generally requires entities to capitalize costs paid to third parties that are directly related to issuing debt and that otherwise wouldn’t be incurred, and present those amounts separately as deferred charges. During the three month period ended January 3, 2016, the Company retrospectively applied the adoption of this ASU, resulting in a reclassification of $65.1 million of debt issuance costs as of September 30, 2015.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The ASU simplifies the presentation of deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent on a balance sheet. Current guidance requires an entity to separate deferred income tax assets and liabilities into current and noncurrent amounts. The new guidance requires all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be presented as noncurrent as the separate current classification results in little to no benefit to users of the financial statements because the classification does not generally align with the time period in which the recognized deferred tax amounts are expected to be recovered or settled. During the three month period ended January 3, 2016, the Company retrospectively applied the adoption of this ASU, resulting in a reclassification of $44.7 million of current deferred tax assets and $4.6 million of current deferred tax liabilities as of September 30, 2015.

The following is a summary of the reclassifications from the retrospective adoption of the ASUs discussed above, as of September 30, 2015 for SBH and SB/RH, respectively:


	Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc.						SB/RH Holdings, LLC
Statement of Financial Position (in millions)	As Reported		Reclassification		As Reclassified		As Reported		Reclassification		As Reclassified

Deferred taxes (noncurrent liability)		(607.0)		34.5		(572.5)		(607.0)		34.5		(572.5)

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. The ASU simplifies the presentation of provisional amounts recognized in a business combination during the measurement period (one year from the date of acquisition). Current guidance requires retrospective adjustment of prior periods; the new guidance eliminates this requirement. The Company applied the adoption of this ASU effective the first day of the year ending September 30, 2016 and all subsequent measurement period adjustments are recorded in the period identified, resulting in the recognition of adjustments to goodwill from the Armored AutoGroup (“AAG”) acquisition. See Note 8 for adjustments to goodwill.

NOTE 10 - DERIVATIVES

Cash Flow Hedges

Interest Rate Swaps. 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 counterparties included in accrued liabilities or receivables, respectively, and recognized in earnings as an adjustment to interest from the underlying debt to which the swap is designated. At April 3, 2016 and September 30, 2015, the Company had a series of U.S. dollar denominated interest rate swaps outstanding which effectively fix the interest on floating rate debt, exclusive of lender spreads, at 1.36% for a notional principal amount of $300.0 million through April 2017. The derivative net losses estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months is $1.3 million, net of tax. The Company’s interest rate swap derivative financial instruments at April 3, 2016 and September 30, 2015 are as follows:



	April 3, 2016				September 30, 2015
(in millions)	Notional Amount		Remaining Years		Notional Amount		Remaining Years
Interest rate swaps - fixed	$	300.0		1.0	$	300.0		1.5

Commodity Swaps. The Company is exposed to risk from fluctuating prices for raw materials, specifically zinc and brass used in its manufacturing processes. The Company hedges a portion of the risk associated with the purchase of 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 April 3, 2016, the Company had a series of zinc and brass swap contracts outstanding through September 2017. The derivative net losses estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months is $1.4 million, net of tax. The Company had the following commodity swap contracts outstanding as of April 3, 2016 and September 30, 2015.

Foreign exchange contracts. The Company periodically enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the risk from forecasted foreign currency 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, Mexican Pesos, 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 on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. At April 3, 2016, the Company had a series of foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding through September 2017. The derivative net losses estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months is $1.1 million, net of tax. At April 3, 2016 and September 30, 2015, the Company had foreign exchange derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges with a notional value of $252.8 million and $300.6 million, respectively.

Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedges for Accounting Purposes

Foreign exchange 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, Canadian 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. 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 April 3, 2016, the Company had a series of forward exchange contracts outstanding through May 2016. At April 3, 2016 and September 30, 2015, the Company had $262.4 million and $126.8 million, respectively, of notional value of such foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding.

Commodity Swaps. The Company periodically enters into commodity swap contracts to economically hedge the risk from fluctuating prices for raw materials, specifically the pass-through of market prices for silver used in manufacturing purchased watch batteries. The Company hedges a portion of the risk associated with these materials through the use of commodity swaps. The swap contracts are designated as economic hedges with the unrealized gain or loss recorded in earnings and as an asset or liability at each period end. The unrecognized changes in the fair value of the hedge contracts are adjusted through earnings when the realized gains or losses affect earnings upon settlement of the hedges. The swaps effectively fix the floating price on a specified quantity of silver through a specified date. At April 3, 2016, the Company had a series of commodity swaps outstanding through August 2016. The Company had the following commodity swaps outstanding as of April 3, 2016 and September 30, 2015:

The Company is exposed to the risk of default by the counterparties with which it transacts and generally does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company monitors counterparty credit risk on an individual basis by periodically assessing each such counterparty’s credit rating exposure. The maximum loss due to credit risk equals the fair value of the gross asset derivatives that are concentrated with certain domestic and foreign financial institution counterparties. The Company considers these exposures when measuring its credit reserve on its derivative assets, which was less than $0.1 million as of April 3, 2016 and September 30, 2015.

The Company’s 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. As of April 3, 2016 and September 30, 2015, there was $0.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively, of posted cash collateral related to such liability positions. In addition, as of April 3, 2016 and September 30, 2015, the Company had no posted standby letters of credit related to such liability positions.

NOTE 15 - INCOME TAXES

SBH's effective tax rate for the three month periods ended April 3, 2016 and March 29, 2015 was 16.5% and 22.5%, respectively. SB/RH's effective tax rate for the three month periods ended April 3, 2016 and March 29, 2015 was 21.2% and 21.5%, respectively. The estimated annual effective tax rate applied to these periods differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% principally due to income earned outside the U.S. that is subject to statutory rates lower than 35% and the release of valuation allowance on U.S. net operating losses deferred tax assets offsetting tax expense on U.S. pretax income.

SBH’s effective tax rate for the six month periods ended April 3, 2016 and March 29, 2015 was 12.8% and 26.9%, respectively. SB/RH’s effective tax rate for the six month periods ended April 3, 2016 and March 29, 2015 was 15.1% and 26.2%, respectively. The estimated annual effective tax rate applied to these periods differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% principally due to income earned outside the U.S. that is subject to statutory rates lower than 35% and the release of valuation allowance on U.S. net operating losses deferred tax assets offsetting tax expense on U.S. pretax income. For the six month period ended April 3, 2016, the effective tax rate was also reduced $5.9 million for non-recurring items related to the impact of tax law changes and changes in state deferred tax rates on the Company’s net deferred tax liabilities.

In December 2015, the Company received a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service which resulted in approximately $88 million of U.S. net operating losses being restored. The ruling created additional U.S. deferred tax assets and valuation allowance during the three and six month periods ended April 3, 2016.

During the three month period ended April 3, 2016, the Company determined it is more likely than not its U.S. deferred tax assets will be used to reduce taxable income, except for tax attributes subject to ownership change limitations, capital losses, and certain state operating losses and credits that will expire unused. The Company estimates the total unused tax benefits are approximately $209 million. The Company has projected to release approximately $84 million of valuation allowance during the year ending September 30, 2016 based on estimates of taxable income. Since the release is expected to be realized as a result of ordinary income for the year ending September 30, 2016, the entire $84 million is included in the calculation of the estimated annual effective tax rate for the current year.

Acquisitions

The application of acquisition accounting as a result of business combinations can significantly affect certain assets, liabilities and expenses. There have been no acquisitions in the three and six month periods ended April 3, 2016. See Note 3, “Acquisitions” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere within this Quarterly Report, for additional detail regarding acquisition activity. The following recent acquisitions during the year ended September 30, 2015 have a significant impact on the comparability of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Refinancing Activity

There was no significant financing activity during the three and six month periods ended April 3, 2016. See Note 9, “Debt” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere within this Quarterly Report, for additional detail regarding debt. The following recent financing activity has a significant impact on the comparability of financial results on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

During the year ended September 30, 2015, we refinanced a portion of our debt to extend maturities and reduce borrowing costs. On May 20, 2015, in connection with the acquisition of AAG, we issued $1,000 million aggregate principal amount of 5.75% unsecured notes due July 15, 2025 (the “5.75% Notes”). On June 23, 2015, we entered into term loan facilities pursuant to a Senior Credit Agreement consisting of: (i) a $1,450 million USD Term Loan due June 23, 2022, (ii) a $75 million CAD Term Loan due June 23, 2022 and (iii) a €300 million Euro Term Loan due June 23, 2022, (collectively, “Term Loans”) and (iv) entered into a $500 million Revolver Facility due June 23, 2020. The proceeds from the Term Loans and draws on the Revolver Facility were used to repay our then-existing senior term credit facility, repay previously held 6.75% senior unsecured notes due 2020, repay and replace our then-existing asset based revolving loan facility and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the refinancing and for general corporate purposes.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Three Month Period Ended April 3, 2016 Compared to Three Month Period Ended March 29, 2015

Net Sales. Net sales for the three month period ended April 3, 2016 increased $142.6 million to $1,209.6 million from $1,067.0 million in the three month period ended March 29, 2015, a 13.4% increase. The following table sets forth our net sales by segment for the three month periods ended April 3, 2016 and March 29, 2015, and the principle components of change in net sales from the three month period ended March 29, 2015 to the three month period ended April 3, 2016:



	Three Month Period Ended

Net Sales for the three month period ended April 3, 2016	$	1,209.6

Global consumer battery sales decreased $3.6 million, or 2.0%, during the three month period ended April 3, 2016 compared to the three month period ended March 29, 2015. Excluding the negative impact of foreign exchange of $10.8 million, sales increased $7.2 million on a constant currency basis. The increase in constant currency sales was primarily attributable to an increase in Europe of $5.3 million and an increase in Latin America of $4.6 million; offset by a decrease in North America of $3.1 million. Increase in Europe is primarily due to increased volumes of hearing aid and specialty batteries to existing and new customers of $4.4 million, coupled with increased lighting products sales of $0.7 million from promotions and product introduction. Increase in Latin America is primarily from increased volumes of alkaline batteries and specialty batteries with existing customers and regional pricing increases. Decrease in North America is due to lower alkaline battery sales of $2.2 million from exiting lower margin private label programs and timing of retailer promotions, with a decrease in specialty batteries and lights sales of $0.9 million from reduced retailer inventory levels.

Small appliances sales decreased $13.3 million, or 8.8%, during the three month period ended April 3, 2016 compared to the three month period ended March 29, 2015, which included $8.0 million negative foreign exchange impact. Excluding foreign exchange, small appliance sales decreased $5.3 million. The decrease in constant currency sales was primarily attributable to decreased sales of $2.5 million in Latin America, $1.8 million in North America, and $0.9 million in Asia-Pacific. Decline is due to softer volumes within the category and competitive pricing, including the exit of unprofitable business in Latin America, partially mitigated by an increase in sales through e-commerce channels.

Personal care sales decreased $2.1 million, or 1.9%, during the three month period ended April 3, 2016 compared to the three month period ended March 29, 2015, which included $5.3 million of negative foreign exchange impact. Excluding foreign exchange, sales increased $3.2 million. The increase in constant currency sales was primarily attributable to increases in Europe of $6.6 million and Latin America of $1.5 million, offset by a decrease in North America of $4.8 million. Increase in Europe is due to increasing volumes from continued expansion in Eastern European markets. Latin America increases are attributed to new customer gains, new product introduction and increased promotional activity. Decrease in North America is due to promotional timing between periods and lower distribution to retailers.

Hardware and home improvement sales increased $12.3 million, or 4.3%, during the three month period ended April 3, 2016 compared to the three month period ended March 29, 2015, which included negative foreign exchange impact of $5.4 million. On a constant currency basis, sales increased $17.7 million. Increase is primarily attributable to higher security and hardware products of $16.3 million due to increased volumes with existing retail relationships, introduction of new products, and market growth with non-retail customers; including an offset of $9.6 million for the expiration of a customer tolling agreement and planned exit of unprofitable business.

Global pet supplies sales decreased $1.3 million, or 0.6%, during the three month period ended April 3, 2016 compared to the three month period ended March 29, 2015, which included negative foreign exchange impact of $2.6 million. Excluding negative foreign currency impact, constant currency sales increased $1.3 million. Increase is primarily due to an increase in companion animal sales of $3.7 million, predominantly attributable to stronger rawhide and stain and odor product categories in North America coupled with contributing sales from the Salix acquisition; offset by a decrease in aquatic sales of $2.2 million due to the exit of unprofitable promotional sales.

Home and garden sales increased $31.1 million, or 25.1%, during the three month period ended April 3, 2016 compared to the three month period ended March 29, 2015. Increase is attributable to increases in animal repellents of $14.9 million, household insect controls of $9.0 million and increase of lawn and garden control products of $7.2 million. Increase in lawn and garden control products is due to increased volumes due to timing of seasonal inventory sales coupled with increased distribution with key retailers. Increase in repellents and insect control products are driven by increased retail demand due to higher anticipated seasonal volume and demand driven by the Zika virus.

Gross Profit. Gross profit and gross profit margin for the three month period ended April 3, 2016 was $462.8 million and 38.3%, respectively, versus $374.7 million and 35.1%, respectively, for the three month period ended March 29, 2015. The increase in gross profit was attributable to an increase in sales and the improvement in gross profit margin was primarily attributable to margins contributed by the AAG acquisition, and a shift towards higher margin sales and continuing cost improvements across segments.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the three month period ended April 3, 2016 were $314.3 million compared to $286.3 million for the three month period ended March 29, 2015. The increase of $28.0 million was primarily attributable to the increase in selling and general and administrative expenses of $27.7 million. The increase in selling and general and administrative expenses was due to increased costs from acquired businesses during the year ended September 30, 2015 discussed previously, and increase in share based compensation.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three month period ended April 3, 2016 was $57.5 million compared to $49.2 million for the three month period ended March 29, 2015. The increase of $8.3 million was directly attributable to the incremental borrowings associated with the AAG acquisition and other refinancing activity during the year ended September 30, 2015 as previously discussed. See Note 9, “Debt” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere within this Quarterly Report, for additional information regarding our outstanding debt.

Income Taxes. Our effective tax rate was 16.5% for the three month period ended April 3, 2016 compared to 22.5% for the three month period ended March 29, 2015. Our estimated annual effective tax rate applied to this quarter differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to income earned outside the U.S. that is subject to statutory rates lower than 35% and the release of valuation allowances on U.S. net operating losses deferred tax assets offsetting tax expense on U.S. pretax income. For the three month period ended March 29, 2015, we also recorded U.S. deferred income tax expense related to the change in book versus tax basis of indefinite-lived intangibles, which are amortized for tax purposes but not for book purposes.

Six Month Period Ended April 3, 2016 Compared to Six Month Period Ended March 29, 2015

Net Sales. Net sales for the six month period ended April 3, 2016 increased $293.6 million to $2,428.4 million from $2,134.8 million in the six month period ended March 29, 2015, a 13.8% increase. The following table sets forth our net sales by segment for the six month periods ended April 3, 2016 and March 29, 2015, and the principle components of change in net sales from the six month period ended March 29, 2015 to the six month period ended April 3, 2016:

Net Sales for the six month period ended April 3, 2016	$	2,428.4

Global consumer battery sales increased $8.8 million, or 2.1%, during the six month period ended April 3, 2016 compared to the six month period ended March 29, 2015. Excluding the negative impact of foreign exchange of $34.3 million, sales increased $43.1 million. The constant currency sales increase was primarily attributable to increases in Europe of $24.6 million, North America of $9.6 million, and Latin America of $8.0 million. Increase in Europe is due to increased alkaline batteries sales of $14.1 million from increased volumes of branded product from holiday promotions and gains with private label customers, increase in volumes of hearing aid and specialty batteries to existing and new customers of $7.1 million and increase of $3.2 million from promotional activity and introduction of new products. Increase in North America was primarily driven by an increase in alkaline battery sales of $11.6 million from increased volumes of branded product from holiday promotions offset by exiting lower margin private label programs with a decrease in specialty batteries and lighting products sales of $2.0 million from reduced retail inventory levels. Increase in Latin America is attributable to increased sales volumes of alkaline batteries and specialty batteries with existing customers and regional pricing increases.

Small appliance sales decreased $47.2 million, or 12.6%, during the six month period ended April 3, 2016 compared to the six month period ended March 29, 2015, which included a $21.4 million negative foreign exchange impact. Excluding foreign exchange, small appliance sales decreased $25.8 million. The constant currency decrease in small appliances was primarily attributable to decreased sales in North America of $26.6 million partially offset by increased sales in Europe of $4.3 million. Decline in North America is due to softer volumes within the category and competitive pricing, partially mitigated by an increase in sales through e-commerce channels. Increase in Europe was due to expanded product listings with current customers.

Personal care sales decreased $5.8 million, or 2.0%, during the six month period ended April 3, 2016 compared to the six month period ended March 29, 2015, which included $21.3 million of negative foreign exchange impact. Excluding foreign exchange, sales increased $15.5 million. The constant currency sales increases were attributable to increases in Europe of $9.0 million, Latin America of $4.6 million, and Asia-Pacific of $3.4 million; offset by decrease in North America of $1.3 million. Increase in Europe is due to increased volumes from continued expansion in Eastern European markets. Latin America increases are attributed to new customer gains, product introduction and increased promotional activity. Increase in Asia-Pacific is due to increased promotions and new product introductions primarily within the Australia/New Zealand markets. Decrease in North America due to timing between periods and lower distribution to retailers.

Hardware and home improvement sales increased $23.7 million, or 4.2%, during the six month period ended April 3, 2016 compared to the six month period ended March 29, 2015, which included negative foreign exchange impact of $10.1 million. On a constant currency basis, sales increased $33.8 million. Increase is primarily attributable to higher sales of security products of $27.2 million and plumbing products of $8.2 million. Security products increase is due to increased volumes with existing retail relationships and introduction of new products, market growth with non-retail customers, and pricing increases; offset by a decrease of $17.6 million for the expiration of a customer tolling agreement and planned exit of unprofitable businesses. Plumbing products increase is due to new product initiatives and increased volumes with both retail and non-retail customers.

Global pet supplies sales increased $81.5 million, or 24.7%, during the six month period ended April 3, 2016 compared to the six month period ended March 29, 2015, which included negative foreign exchange impact of $6.4 million. On a constant currency basis, sales increased $87.9 million, which includes contributing sales of $44.2 million and $27.0 million from the European IAMS and Eukanuba and Salix acquisitions, respectively, during the quarter ended January 3, 2016. On a constant currency basis and excluding impact from acquisitions, sales increased $16.7 million. Increase is primarily due to companion animal sales of $12.4 million and aquatic sales of $4.6 million, predominantly attributable to stronger rawhide and stain and odor product categories in North America and timing of holiday shipments; with partial offset from exiting lower margin aquatic business.

Home and garden sales increased $39.3 million, or 24.1%, during the six month period ended April 3, 2016 compared to the six month period ended March 29, 2015. Increase is attributable to animal repellents of $15.2 million, lawn and garden products of $13.7 million, and household insect controls of $10.4 million. Increase in animal repellents and insect control products are driven by retail demand due to higher anticipated seasonal volume and demand driven by the Zika virus. Increase in lawn and garden control products is due to warmer weather extending the outdoor season coupled with the timing of seasonal inventory sales to retailers earlier than in the prior year.

Gross Profit. Gross profit and gross profit margin for the six month period ended April 3, 2016 was $903.5 million and 37.2%, respectively, versus $744.9 million and 34.9%, respectively, for the six month period ended March 29, 2015. The increase in gross profit was attributable to an increase in sales and the improvement in gross profit margin was primarily attributable to margins contributed by the AAG acquisition, a shift towards higher margin sales and continuing cost improvements.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the six month period ended April 3, 2016 were $612.5 million compared to $540.9 million for the six month period ended March 29, 2015. The increase of $71.6 million was primarily attributable to the increase in selling and general and administrative expenses of $73.0 million, offset by reductions in restructuring and related charges of $8.9 million. The increase in selling and general and administrative expenses was due to increased costs from acquired businesses during the year ended September 30, 2015 discussed previously, and an increase in share based compensation.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the six month period ended April 3, 2016 was $115.9 million compared to $93.6 million for the six month period ended March 29, 2015. The increase of $22.3 million was directly attributable to the incremental borrowings associated with the AAG acquisition and other refinancing activity during the year ended September 30, 2015 previously discussed. See Note 9, “Debt” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere within this Quarterly Report, for additional information regarding our outstanding debt.

Income Taxes. Our effective tax rate was 12.8% for the six month period ended April 3, 2016 compared to 26.9% for the six month period ended March 29, 2015. Our estimated annual effective tax rate applied to this period differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to income earned outside the U.S. that is subject to statutory rates lower than 35% and the release of valuation allowances on U.S. net operating losses deferred tax assets offsetting tax expense on U.S. pretax income. For the six month period ended April 3, 2016, the effective tax rate was also reduced $5.9 million for non-recurring items related to the impact of law changes and changes in state deferred tax rates on our net deferred tax liabilities. Additionally, for the six month period ended March 29, 2015, we recorded U.S. deferred income tax expense related to the change in book versus tax basis of indefinite-lived intangible assets that are amortized for tax purposes but not for book.

Segment Financial Data

The Company manages its business in five vertically integrated, product-focused reporting segments: (i) Global Batteries & Appliances; (ii) Hardware & Home Improvement; (iii) Global Pet Supplies; (vi) Home and Garden and (v) Global Auto Care. See Note 16, “Segment Information,” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information pertaining to segments.

Segment profit does not include corporate expenses, acquisition and integration related charges, restructuring and related charges, impairment charges, interest expense, income tax expense, and other non-operating expenses. Corporate expenses primarily include general and administrative expenses and the costs of stock compensation plans which are evaluated on a consolidated basis and not allocated to the segments.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expense. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, excluding share-based compensation, acquisition and integration related charges, restructuring and related charges, purchase accounting fair value adjustments, and other items that are unusual in nature or not comparable from period to period.

Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by management and frequently used by the financial community which provides insight into an organization’s 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 company’s ability to service debt and is one of the measures used for determining our debt covenant compliance.

While we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace our financial results in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and should be read in conjunction with those GAAP results. Below are reconciliations of net income (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for each segment, for the three and six month periods ended April 3, 2016 and March 29, 2015 for both SBH and SB/RH, respectively:

Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc.

Net cash used by operating activities

The $35.8 million decrease in cash used by operating activities for the six month period ended April 3, 2016 was primarily due to: (i) cash generated from higher Adjusted EBITDA of $101.8 million; (ii) a decrease in cash paid for restructuring and related charges of $3.2 million; offset by (i) an increase in cash paid for interest of $37.3 million, (ii) an increase in cash paid for acquisition and integration costs of $11.9 million, (iii) an increase in cash paid for income taxes of $2.2 million and (iv) $17.8 million of incremental use of cash for working capital driven by higher inventory and receivables due to seasonal working capital needs and the addition of GAC, along with lower accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Table of Contents

Net cash used by investing activities

The $284.4 million decrease in cash used by investing activities during the six month period ended April 3, 2016 was primarily attributable to the cash used for acquisitions of $292.7 million, net of cash, during the six months ended March 29, 2015 for the Tell, Salix and European IAMs and Eukanuba acquisitions; and an increase in purchases of property, plant and equipment of $8.8 million.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures for the Company totaled $38.7 million and $29.9 million for the six month periods ended April 3, 2016, and March 29, 2015, respectively. We expect to make investments in capital projects similar to historical levels, as well as incremental investments in high return innovation and cost reduction projects slightly above historical levels.

Depreciation and amortization for the Company totaled $91.4 million and $78.8 million for the six months ended April 3, 2016, and March 29, 2015, respectively. The increase in depreciation and amortization of $12.6 million for the six month period ended April 3, 2016 was due to the recognition of property, plant and equipment and definite lived intangible assets from the AAG, European IAMS and Eukanuba, and Salix acquisitions during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015.

Table of Contents

Indebtedness

Refer to Note 9, “Debt” of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional information. At April 3, 2016, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Senior Credit Agreement, the indenture governing both the 6.375% Notes and the 6.625% Notes, the indenture governing the 6.125% Notes, and the indenture governing the 5.75% Notes.

Credit Ratings

The Company’s access to the capital markets and financing costs may depend on the credit ratings of the Company when it is accessing the capital markets. None of the Company’s current borrowings are subject to default or acceleration as a result of a downgrading of credit ratings, although a downgrade of the Company’s credit ratings could increase fees and interest charges on future borrowings.

Equity

During the six month period ended April 3, 2016, SBH granted 0.6 million restricted stock units to our employees and our directors. All vesting dates are subject to the recipient’s continued employment, except as otherwise permitted by our Compensation Committee or Board of Directors or in certain cases if the employee is terminated without cause or as otherwise provided in an applicable employment agreement. The total market value of the RSUs on the date of grant was $54.2 million, which represented unearned share based compensation. Such unearned compensation is amortized to expense over the appropriate vesting period. See Note 13, “Share Based Compensation” of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional information.

From time to time we may repurchase outstanding shares of SBH common stock in the open market or otherwise. On July 28, 2015, the Board of Directors approved a $300 million common stock repurchase program. The authorization is effective for 36 months. During the six month period ended April 3, 2016, SBH repurchased 0.4 million shares.

Liquidity Outlook

The Company’s ability to make principal and interest payment on borrowings under its U.S. and foreign credit facilities and its ability to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on its ability to generate cash in the future, which, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other conditions. Based on its current level of operations, the Company believes that its existing cash balances and expected cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet its operating requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, the Company may request borrowings under its credit facilities and seek alternative forms of financing or additional investments to achieve its longer-term strategic plans.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and fairly present our financial position and results of operations. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or critical accounting estimates as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2015.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. This ASU requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new revenue recognition model requires identifying the contract and performance obligations, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to performance obligations and recognizing the revenue upon satisfaction of performance obligations. This ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgements, and assets recognized from

Table of Contents

costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This ASU can be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the updates recognized at the date of the initial application along with additional disclosures. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Deferral of the Effective Date, which amends the previously issued ASU to provide for a one year deferral from the original effective date. As a result, the ASU will become effective for us beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, with early application available to us beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending September 30, 2018. We are currently assessing the impact this pronouncement will have on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes the lease requirements in ASC 840, Leases. This ASU requires lessees to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, as well as disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Although the new ASU requires both operating and finance leases to be disclosed on the balance sheet, a distinction between the two types still exists as the economics of leases can vary. The ASU can be applied using a modified retrospective approach, with a number of optional practical expedients relating to the identification and classification of leases that commenced before the effective date, along with the ability to use hindsight in the evaluation of lease decisions, that entities may elect to apply. As a result, the ASU will become effective for us beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending September 30, 2020, with early adoption applicable. We are currently assessing the impact this pronouncement will have on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU proposes changes to the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees; primarily income taxes upon award vest or settlement, cash flow presentations of excess tax benefits and employee withheld taxes paid, as well as an entity forfeiture policy election. The ASU can be applied using predominantly a modified retrospective approach for many of the previously outlined accounting changes. As a result, the ASU will become effective for us beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending September 30, 2018, with early adoption available. We are currently assessing the impact this pronouncement will have on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that occurred during the three month period ended April 3, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting except for integration activities of AAG. As previously disclosed, we completed the acquisition of AAG on May 21, 2015. During the three months ended April 3, 2016, the Company successfully integrated the operations and processes of AAG into the Company’s shared service organization and financial systems environment. This initiative was not in response to any identified deficiency or weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, but to align and streamline design and operation of the financial control environment of the acquired entity with the Company.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. The Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
