Martin E. Franklin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented; “The second quarter further supported our strategy of focusing on market leading brands and new product development to deliver strong financial results. The Pure Fishing acquisition, new products and cost controls all contributed to considerable gross margin enhancement. As anticipated, this meaningful improvement allowed us to increase our investment in selling and marketing expenses while still expanding segment earnings margin to 12.4% in the second quarter of this year compared to 10.9% for the second quarter of 2006. Equally satisfying was the significant growth in cash flow from operations with a ten- fold year-over-year increase to over $73 million for the second quarter 2007.”

Mr. Franklin continued, “The performance of the core Jarden businesses has remained strong during the first half of the year, with growth being led by our international and specialty units. With the closing of the K2 transaction anticipated in August, we believe that having a solid platform on which to integrate K2 should accelerate the timing of potential revenue and operating synergies between the businesses. We are excited about this next growth stage for Jarden, and particularly Jarden Outdoor Solutions, and look forward to continuing the positive momentum from the first half of 2007 into the remainder of the year.”
