Jarden Corporation, which owns one of the largest portfolios of sporting goods brands in the United States, expects record revenues of at least $1.65 billion for the fourth quarter of 2010 and approximately $6.0 billion for the full year.

 

That would represent sales increases of 18.7% and 16.5% respectively, but most of the growth would come from its acquisition last April of a French baby products company. Jarden did not break out preliminary figures for its Outdoor Segment, but has reported organic net sales growth of 6.5% through the third quarter ended Sept. 30. The Outdoor Segment reported operating earnings of $206.2 million on sales of $1.91 billion for the nine months ended Sept. 30.

 

The segment owns the Abu Garcia, Coleman, K2, Marker, Marmot, Penn, Rawlings, Shakespeare, Stearns, Volkl, Zoot and other sporting goods brands. Jarden’s full year cash from operations for 2010 is expected to exceed $250 million. Jarden’s other two business segments make a wide variety of consumer products, including coffee makers, smoke and carbon dioxide detectors, playing cards and car seats for infants and toddlers. The company closed on an estimated $500 million acquisition of French baby care products maker Mapa Spontex in April, 2010.
