H.B. Fuller Lowers Earnings Estimates

St. Paul, MN, Sept. 8, 2008--H.B. Fuller Company has lowered its earnings expectations for fiscal year 2008, reflecting the impact from rapidly rising raw material costs.

"We are disappointed that our current outlook indicates that we will fall short of our previous earnings guidance for 2008," said Michele Volpi, president and chief executive officer.

"However, we believe that this is a temporary situation. We are fully committed to recovering our raw material cost increases over the next several quarters, and are aggressively accelerating our pricing actions."

The company now expects income from continuing operations of $1.55 to $1.60 per share, below the company's previous guidance of $1.76 to $1.86.
