  • News Release
    News Release Newell Brands Announces Strong First Quarter Results Net Sales Growth 148.4 Percent; Core Sales Growth 2.5 Percent Reported EPS $1.31; Normalized EPS $0.34 Raised 2017 Normalized EPS Guidance Range Increased Dividend 21 Percent HOBOKEN, NJ – May 8, 2017 – Newell Brands Inc. (NYSE: NWL) announced its first quarter 2017 financial results today. First Quarter 2017 Executive Summary - Net sales growth of 148.4 percent to $3.3 billion; core sales growth of 2.5 percent. - Reported diluted earnings per share of $1.31 compared with $0.15 in the prior year, benefiting from a $784 million gain on the sale of the Tools business, core sales growth, cost synergies related to the Jarden acquisition, Project Renewal savings and contributions from acquisitions. These benefits more than offset increased investment in brand development, insights and e-commerce, negative foreign currency impacts, an increase in amortization of intangibles, higher interest expense and higher share count associated with the Jarden transaction. - Normalized diluted earnings per share of $0.34 compared with $0.40 in the prior year, as the benefits of increased sales and operating profitability were more than offset by higher interest expense and higher share count associated with the Jarden transaction. Normalized earnings per share exclude certain items described later in this release. - Reported operating margin of 4.8 percent, compared with 9.5 percent in the prior year, driven by the mix impact of the acquired Jarden business, including an increase in amortization of intangibles, and costs associated with the delivery of savings, partially offset by Project Renewal savings and cost synergies associated with the Jarden transaction.

  • Sistema Plastics Commits to Reducing Its Carbon Footprint
    Sistema Plastics Commits to Reducing Its Carbon Footprint June 6, 2019 Sistema Plastics Ltd has committed to reducing its carbon emissions by achieving Certified Emissions Measurement And Reduction Scheme (CEMARS®) certification. CEMARS certification is a recognised greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions measurement and reduction scheme administered by Enviro-Mark Solutions (a subsidiary of Manaaki Whenua - Landcare Research). It is the first of a two-step process towards achieving carboNZeroCert™ certification in New Zealand. As one of the largest manufacturing facilities in New Zealand, Sistema recognises it has a responsibility to ensure it is producing its products in the most sustainable way possible, from the design process through to manufacturing and distribution. Drew Muirhead, Chief Executive Officer at Sistema Plastics Ltd, says it will be proactively working with suppliers, distributors and customers to achieve its goals, but also with a large focus on sustainable, innovative new products. “We are taking the impacts of climate change seriously and are committed to adapting the business to reduce our carbon emissions. We’d love to encourage other main players in the manufacturing industry to do the same,” he says. Sistema has developed a GHG emissions management plan and reduction targets that will be achieved through initiatives intended to manage and reduce freight, electricity and travel emissions. Exporting to more than 80 countries around the world, Sistema’s biggest challenge is developing smarter solutions to reduce emissions from road, rail and sea freight. Muirhead says it has set reduction targets and identified a number of specific projects to ensure it meets them. “We’ve set a goal of reducing freight and shipping emissions by 15%, electricity emissions by 40% and we are aiming to offset all emissions from long haul travel by 80%, by 2021.
