-- Reflecting the Company's continued focus on generating cash, the Company generated $55.0 million of operating cash flow in the third quarter of 2009.
-- During the quarter, the Company reduced Total debt by $54.0 million to $315.0 million. As of September 30, 2009, the Company's ratio of Funded debt to EBITDA was 1.96 times, well within the covenant in its credit facility, which requires that this ratio not exceed 3.00 times.

Chief Executive Officer Mark Sarvary commented, "Our 2009 strategic initiatives continued to generate improved results during the third quarter. While the macro environment remains challenging, our sales have grown and our margins have improved. Our results continue to demonstrate the Company's strong cash flow. Through the first nine months, we have reduced debt by over $100 million. Our recent product introductions and our new advertising campaign combined with continued productivity improvements will allow us to build on this performance as we move into 2010."
