Rick Goings, Chairman and CEO, commented, "First quarter sales were up 1% in local currency. While we continued to achieve strong performances in Argentina, Brazil, China, Tupperware Mexico and Tupperware U.S. and Canada, we have continued to need to navigate through economic and political headwinds. Even so, we were able to come in above the high end of our diluted earnings per share range, reflecting lower resin costs and our initiatives to manage costs, gross margin and leverage under our promotional programs, as well as improved exchange rates."

Goings continued, "While we continue to expect some softness in local currency sales growth in 2016, our business model is resilient and has built-in flexibility to sustain earnings and cash flow, while we continue to roll-out our Vision 20/20 initiatives that will 'Build our Core' and 'Extend our Reach' by further leveraging our 3.0 million global sales force."

First Quarter Executive Summary


    --  First quarter 2016 net sales were $525.7 million, up 1% in local
        currency and down 10% in dollars. Emerging markets**, accounting for 64%
        of sales, achieved a 3% increase in local currency. The most significant
        contributions to the first quarter growth were in Argentina, Brazil,
        China, and Tupperware Mexico, partially offset by Egypt, Indonesia,
        Philippines and Turkey. Established markets were down 2% in local
        currency, primarily from BeautiControl and France, partially offset by
        good performance in Germany and Tupperware United States and Canada.

    --  GAAP net income of $43.4 million versus prior year net income of $29.5
        million. In 2015, net income included a pre-tax, non-cash impairment
        charge related to fixed assets in Venezuela. Adjusted, diluted earnings
        per share of $0.91 was 5 cents above the January outlook range,
        including 4 cents from the benefit of changes in foreign exchange rates
        versus 2015, compared with the guidance, lower resin costs and
        initiatives to control costs, manage gross margin and leverage
        promotional spending. Adjusted earnings per share was down 11% versus
        last year in dollars, including a negative 19 cent impact from changes
        in exchange rates on the comparison, and up 10% in local currency.

    --  Total sales force of 3.0 million was up 4% versus prior year at the end
        of the quarter, and there were 2% less active sellers in the quarter.

        reflecting higher volume from a large sales force size advantage and
        some pricing.
    --  Net sales increase in Argentina of 50% in local currency, one-third from
        volume and two-thirds from inflation related higher prices.
    --  Segment's active sales force was up 7%. The 17 point difference between

First Quarter Earnings Conference Call

Tupperware Brands will conduct a conference call today, Wednesday, April 20, 2016, at 8:30 am Eastern time. The conference call will be webcast and accessible, along with a copy of this news release and slides presented during the conference call, on www.tupperwarebrands.com.

Tupperware Brands Corporation, through an independent sales force of 3.0 million, is the leading global marketer of innovative, premium products across multiple brands utilizing a relationship based selling method. Product brands and categories include design-centric preparation, storage and serving solutions for the kitchen and home through the Tupperware brand and beauty and personal care products through the Avroy Shlain, BeautiControl, Fuller Cosmetics, NaturCare, Nutrimetics, and Nuvo brands.

The Company's stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: TUP). Statements contained in this release, which are not historical fact and use predictive words such as "outlook", "guidance", "expects" or "target" are forward-looking statements. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that include recruiting and activity of the Company's independent sales forces relating to governmental actions and otherwise, the success of new product introductions and promotional programs, governmental approvals of materials for use in food containers and beauty and personal care products, the success of buyers in obtaining financing or attracting tenants for commercial and residential developments, the effects of economic and political conditions generally and foreign exchange risk in particular and other risks detailed in the Company's periodic reports as filed in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The Company updates each month the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates versus the prior year, posting it on Tupperware Brands Foreign Exchange Translation Impact Update. Other than updating for changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company does not intend to update forward-looking information, except through its quarterly earnings releases, unless it expects diluted earnings per share for the current quarter, excluding items impacting comparability and changes versus its guidance of the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates, to be significantly below its previous guidance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has utilized non-GAAP financial measures in this release, which are provided to assist readers' understanding of the Company's results of operations. These amounts, identified as items impacting comparability, at times materially impact the comparability of the Company's results of operations. The adjusted information is intended to be indicative of Tupperware Brands' primary operations, and to assist readers in evaluating performance and analyzing trends across periods. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP.

The non-GAAP financial measures exclude gains from the sale of property, plant and equipment and insurance settlements related to casualty losses, inventory obsolescence in conjunction with decisions to exit or significantly restructure businesses, asset retirement obligations, re-engineering and fixed asset impairment charges and pension settlements. While the Company is engaged in a multi-year program to sell land adjacent to its Orlando, Florida headquarters, and also disposes of other excess land and facilities periodically, these activities are not part of the Company's primary business operations. Additionally, amounts recognized in any given period are not indicative of amounts that may be recognized in any particular future period. For this reason, these amounts are excluded as indicated. The Company excludes significant charges related to casualty losses caused by significant weather events, fires or similar circumstances. It also excludes any related gains resulting from the settlement of associated insurance claims. While these types of events can and do recur periodically, they are excluded from indicated financial information due to their distinction from ongoing business operations, inherent volatility and impact on the comparability of earnings across quarters. Also, the Company periodically records exit costs accounted for using the applicable accounting guidance for exit or disposal cost obligations and other amounts related to rationalizing its supply chain operations and other restructuring activities, including upon liquidation of operations in a country the recognition in income of amounts previously recorded in equity as a cumulative translation adjustment, and pension settlements, and believes these amounts are similarly volatile and impact the comparability of earnings across quarters. Therefore, they are also excluded from indicated financial information to provide what the Company believes represents a useful measure for analysis and predictive purposes.

The Company believes that excluding from reported financial information costs incurred in connection with a significant change in its capital structure that is of a nature that would be expected to recur sporadically, also provides a useful measure for analysis and predictive purposes. The Venezuelan government over the last several years has severely restricted the ability to translate bolivars into U.S. dollars and has mandated at various levels the exchange rate for U.S. dollars. Due to the sporadic timing and magnitude of changes in the mandated exchange rates, the Company's non-GAAP measures exclude for analysis and predictive purposes, the impact from devaluations on the bolivar denominated net monetary assets and other balance sheet positions that impact near term income since they appear in the income statement at the exchange rate at which they were originally translated rather than the exchange rate at which current operating activity is being translated.

The Company has also elected to present financial measures excluding the impact of amortizing the purchase accounting carrying value of certain definite-lived intangible assets, primarily the value of its Fuller trade name recorded in connection with the Company's December 2005 acquisition of the direct selling businesses of Sara Lee Corporation. The amortization expense related to these assets will continue for several years. Similarly, in connection with its evaluation of the carrying value of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, the Company has periodically recognized impairment charges. The Company believes that these types of non-cash charges will not be representative in any single reporting period of amounts recorded in prior reporting periods or expected to be recorded in future reporting periods. Therefore, they are excluded from indicated financial information to also provide a useful measure for analysis and predictive purposes.

As the impact of changes in exchange rates is an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons, the Company believes the presentation of results on a local currency basis, in addition to reported results, helps improve readers' ability to understand the Company's operating results and evaluate performance in comparison with prior periods. The Company presents local currency information that compares results between periods as if current period exchange rates had been the exchange rates in the prior period. This includes the translation impact on sales and earnings from currency devaluations. The Company uses results on a local currency basis as one measure to evaluate performance. The Company generally refers to such amounts as calculated on a local currency basis, as restated or excluding the impact of foreign currency. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP. Results on a local currency basis may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not measures of performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

In information included with this release, the Company has referred to Adjusted EBITDA and a Debt/Adjusted EBITDA ratio, which are non-GAAP financial measures used in the Company's credit agreement. The Company uses these measures in its capital allocation decision process and in discussions with investors, analysts and other interested parties and therefore believes it is useful to disclose this amount and ratio. The Company's calculation of these measures is in accordance with its credit agreement, and is set forth in the reconciliation from GAAP amounts in an attachment to this release; however, the reader is cautioned that other companies define these measures in different ways, and consequently they will likely not be comparable with similarly labeled amounts disclosed by others.

    * Sales force statistics as collected by the Company and, in some cases, provided by distributors and sales force.  The Company classifies Established Market Units as those operating in Western Europe, including Scandinavia, the United States, Canada,
     Australia and Japan, and its remaining units as Emerging Market Units.  Active Sales Force is defined as the average number of people ordering in each cycle over the course of the quarter, and Total Sales Force is defined as the number of sales force
     members of the units as of the end of the quarter.

    + Local currency, or restated, changes are measured by comparing current year results with those of the prior year translated at the current year's foreign exchange rates.


    Notes
    -----

    a The larger total sales force with a lower number of active sellers in Europe reflected, in the emerging market units, most significantly the curtailment of shipments to Egypt in light of currency controls, leading to lower activity and risk of a future
     reduction in the total sales force size, and in Russia, good sales force additions late in the quarter, such that a future increase in active sellers is expected.  In the established market units caption, there was an impact of the timing of Easter in
     Germany, that in comparison with 2015, moved some sales force activity into the second quarter in 2016.

    b The more significant decrease in sales in local currency than active sellers in Europe emerging markets most significantly reflected the curtailment of operations in Egypt in light of currency controls.

    c In Asia Pacific, the lower number of active sellers with more total sellers reflected most significantly, in the emerging market units, the exit of the fashion category in the Philippines and resulting activity level of those most committed to that
     category.  In the established market units, there were larger impacts from Nutrimetics Australia, where the structure of offers to the more casual seller group led to lower participation.

    d Higher sales per active seller in Tupperware North America emerging markets reflected the benefit of good take up on programs in Mexico, along with the benefits from Success Formulas, Demonstration Selling and sales force Onboarding programs under the
     Company's Vision 20/20 initiatives.

    e The positive active seller comparison in Tupperware North America established markets, notwithstanding an even higher advantage in total sellers, reflected the ramp up period of a large number of new sellers and relatively high standards for prizes and
     awards for some programs during the quarter that led to larger orders but a somewhat lower activity rate.

    f Higher prices in light of high inflation in Argentina and Venezuela, in combination with the planned constraint on the business in Venezuela that led to less active sellers, were the main factors in local currency sales increasing by more than the
     increase in active sellers in South America.

    a Amortization of intangibles of acquired beauty units.

    b As a result of a devaluation in the Venezuelan bolivar from 50 bolivars per U.S. dollar to 172 bolivars per U.S dollar in January 2015 and the ongoing devaluation to 199 and 249 bolivars per U.S. dollar as of the end of December 2015 and March 2016, respectively, the Company had negative impacts of $0.2 million in 2016 and $9.3 million in 2015.
      These amounts related to expense from re-measuring bolivar denominated net monetary assets at the lower exchange rates at the times of devaluations, along with the impact of recording in income amounts on the balance sheet when the devaluations occurred, primarily inventory, at the exchange rates at the time the amounts were purchased, rather
      than the exchange rates in use when they were included in income.

    c Gains on disposal of assets is primarily from transactions related to land held near the Orlando, FL headquarters.

    d In both years, re-engineering and impairment charges were primarily related to severance costs incurred for headcount reduction in several of the Company's operations in connection with changes in its management and organizational structures.  Also included is a $13.5 million fixed asset impairment in Venezuela in 2015.

    e Provision for income taxes represents the net tax impact of adjusted amounts.
