Jarden releases guidance for Q4 revenue

Jarden (NYSE: JAH), parent of Coleman, K2 and Marmot, reported fiscal fourth-quarter revenue predictions that are below analyst expectations. It expects fiscal fourth-quarter revenue of $1.3 billion, below analysts’ average estimate of $1.46 billion.

In 2009, Jarden expects more than $5 billion in revenue, compared with analysts’ average $5.38 billion estimate. Jarden said better raw-material commodity costs should help results in the second half of 2009.

The company said it does not traditionally give short-term financial guidance but decided to give investors its revenue outlook to help them “estimate the impact of the current volatility on our near-term performance” due to the financial-market volatility of the past few months.
