Innovate. Execute. Grow INNOVATE. EXECUTE. GROW. 2014 ANNUAL REPORT YEARINREVIEW.STANLEYBLACKANDDECKER.COM 01 Stanley Black & Decker is advancing global stewardship principles across our entire value chain. In 2014 we publicly shared our commitment to be economically, environmentally and socially responsible in everything that we do by unveiling ECOSMART— our company’s name for sustainability. ECOSMART emphasizes our commitment to a sustainable future and aligns with our Stanley Fulfillment System, ensuring that our products with sustainable attributes maximize their business attributes, too. In 2014, for the fourth consecutive year, we were listed on the Dow Jones Sustainability North American Index, the last two years in the IEQ Machinery and Electrical Equipment category, in recognition of our economic, environmental and social performance. We also achieved the highest attainable score on both the CDP Climate Disclosure Leadership Index and the CDP Climate Performance Leadership Index, acknowledging our ability to measure, verify, manage and reduce our energy demand and resultant carbon footprint. As we go forward, it is our aspiration to secure recognition from the Dow Jones Sustainability Index on a global level. As we build on our commitment to sustainability, we have continued with a smaller page count for this year’s Annual Report, a tradition we started in 2009. We have also transitioned to “Notice and Access” which has allowed us to reduce our print run significantly. Visit yearinreview.stanleyblackanddecker.com to view stories and pictures that bring exciting aspects of the Stanley Black & Decker story to life, to explore our financials, review our sustainable practices, and to read about our businesses, our brands and our plans for growth.

    STANLEY BLACK & DECKER Investor Overview Version: 7.8.13 Cautionary Statements This presentation contains “forward looking statements,” that is, statements that address future, not past events. In this context, forward-looking statements often address our expected future business and financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as: “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” or “will.” Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. These statements are based on assumptions of future events that may not prove accurate. They are also based on our current plans and strategy and such plans and strategy could change in the future. Actual results may differ materially from those projected or implied in any forward- looking statements. Please refer to our most recent SEC filings, including our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, subsequently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, for detailed information regarding factors that could cause or contribute to actual results differing materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. We do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements. This presentation also contains non-GAAP financial information, including CFROI. CFROI is defined as cash flow from operations less capital and software expenditures* divided by year end capital (debt plus equity* less cash). CFROI is considered important as it is a cash based measure of value creation that ties our strategic focus to returns. Reconciliations of other non-GAAP measures are provided in our quarterly press releases announcing financial results, and may be found in the accompanying appendix.

  • 2009 Annual Report Introduction
    2009 AnnuAl RepoRt IntroductIon Before you begin reading this Annual Report, please remember that we changed our name from The Stanley Works to Stanley Black & Decker, Inc., in connection with our merger with The Black & Decker Corporation in March 2010. This Annual Report does not include results from the Black & Decker business because the financial statements and other information contained herein predate the Black & Decker transaction.* GoInG Green In 2009, Stanley built on our commitment to sustainability, transforming that commitment into opportunities to advance our sustainability mission. This year’s Annual Report is a breakthrough for Stanley. Conscious of our environmental, social and economic resources, we have reduced both the page count and the print run of this report. Visit www.2009annualreview.stanleyblackanddecker.com to view videos of our leadership team discussing 2009 highlights, to explore our financials, to see slide shows of business and brand development, to learn about the new Stanley Black & Decker…and more. We believe that responsible management of our environmental resources is not only right for the planet, it’s right for business. For us, it’s about sustainable yield and getting maximum results with minimum waste. We estimate that reducing the size of this report and using recycled paper have saved approximately: • 191 trees • 81,211 gallons of water • 8,981 pounds of waste • 17,684 pounds of net greenhouse gases • 135,417,920 BTUs of energy Our sustainability efforts weren’t limited to the 2009 Annual Report, however, as our continued execution of the principles of the Stanley Fulfillment System (SFS) drove a global 15% year-over-year reduction in total waste generation normalized to production.
