We also delivered adjusted free cash flow of $273 million as compared to our earnings framework of $260 million to $280 million.
Total pro forma Spectrum Brands results were in line with our earnings framework of mid-teen top line growth with revenue actually accelerating 16.4%, and we delivered adjusted EBITDA growth in the high teens at 18.8% growth. Here, we have an overview of the pro forma results of total Spectrum Brands, including HHI on a comparable basis to last year consistent with our earnings framework. Also, from a capital allocation perspective, we did repurchase 1.6 million shares of our common stock for approximately $125.8 million. The transaction is subject to the customary regulatory approvals in the US and abroad, all of which are advancing nicely. In addition to the tuck-in acquisitions in our Global Pet Care unit and our Home & Garden business, as we previously disclosed, we have entered into an agreement to sell our HHI business for $4.3 billion in cash to ASSA ABLOY. Fiscal '21 has also been a transformative year for our Company, as we have completed a number of strategic transactions. We are confident in our ability to face these inflationary pressures and supply chain disruption headwinds with the same focus and discipline as we look forward to another successful year in fiscal 2022. Our fiscal '21 and fourth quarter financial results reflect our continuing trend of delivering on commitments quarter-after-quarter, while navigating the challenging supply chain environment we all face.
The focus is on efficiently using data to understand the needs of our end users in each category, meeting those needs through increased investment in new product innovation and telling that story to our consumers through enhanced brand messaging and product promotions. Looking back at fiscal '21, we've a lot to be proud of as we have continued to leverage our developing centers of excellence to allow our business units to focus their efforts on truly knowing our consumers. We have faced significant tariff costs, we've worked through a global pandemic, we have experienced unprecedented global supply chain challenges and inflation and yet we still succeeded in executing on our strategic playbook and delivering on all our financial goals. If you are part of Spectrum Brands and you're listening to this call, you should be very proud of what we've accomplished together.
I'd like to start by thanking our 12,000 plus employee partners and the management team who have delivered for us yet another successful year of top and bottom line growth. Adjusted EBITDA was $689.2 million, increasing $109 million over the period a year ago and our adjusted diluted EPS was $6.53.
On behalf of all of those at Spectrum Brands, I'm particularly pleased to report that full year fiscal '21 total Company sales were $4.614 billion, an increase of $650 million over the period a year ago.
