Edgewell Personal Care Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2018 Results and Provides Fiscal Year 2019 Financial Outlook
Shelton, Conn - November 13, 2018 - Edgewell Personal Care Company (NYSE: EPC) today announced results for its full fiscal year 2018 and fourth fiscal quarter 2018, which ended September 30, 2018.
Executive Summary
• | Net sales were $537.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, a decrease of 4.9% when compared to the prior year quarter, and $2,234.4 million for the full year, a decrease of 2.8% compared to the prior year. Organic net sales were down 4.7% for the quarter and 4.5% for the full year. (Organic basis excludes sales impact from the Jack Black and Bulldog acquisitions, the Playtex gloves divestiture, and the translational benefit from currency.) |
• | GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share ("EPS") for the fourth quarter were $0.36, including a $0.34 after tax impact from a Sun Care reformulation charge and were $1.90 for the full year. Adjusted EPS were $1.11 for the quarter and $3.52 for the full year. |
• | The Company is providing its financial outlook for fiscal 2019. |
The Company reports and forecasts results on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis, and has reconciled Non-GAAP results and outlook to the most directly comparable GAAP measures later in this release. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures for a more detailed explanation, including definitions of various Non-GAAP terms used in this release. All comparisons used in this release are with the same period in the prior fiscal year unless otherwise stated.
"During the fourth quarter, we accelerated the pace of changes we are making under Project Fuel, successfully executed on growth initiatives across our categories and continued to deliver compelling innovation. Despite the challenging environment, we met our adjusted earnings per share expectations for the quarter and drove strong cash generation,” said David Hatfield, Edgewell’s Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board. “Our performance this quarter reflects the competitive environment we have been navigating throughout the year, further highlighting the importance of Project Fuel, our enterprise-wide initiative to transform the Company’s business and cost structure. Looking ahead to fiscal 2019, we are focused on delivering our targets for Project Fuel and continuing to invest in our growth initiatives. We are confident that these actions will position Edgewell to deliver enhanced shareholder value as a stronger, leaner and more agile competitor.”
Fiscal 4Q 2018 Operating Results (Unaudited)
Net sales were $537.4 million in the quarter, a decrease of 4.9% when compared to the prior year period. Excluding a $7.5 million benefit from the Jack Black acquisition, a $3.3 million negative impact from the Playtex gloves divestiture and a $5.0 million negative impact from currency translation, organic net sales decreased 4.7%. The declines were primarily driven by the impact of unfavorable price mix in Wet Shave and lower volumes and price mix in Feminine Care, partly offset by growth in Sun and Skin Care.
Gross margin decreased 490 basis points to 43.1% from the prior year period. Excluding the $25.3 million impact of Sun Care reformulation costs this quarter, gross margin decreased by 20 basis points to 47.8%. Favorable cost mix (160 basis points) was more than offset by the impact of unfavorable price mix (140 basis points), primarily in Wet Shave and Feminine Care, and unfavorable volume mix (40 basis points). The favorable cost mix was the result of reduced operational spending and favorable transactional currency impacts, partially offset by higher commodity and warehouse and distribution costs.
In the quarter, the Company recorded a $25.3 million one-time charge to cost of goods sold due to costs associated with the write-off of select Sun Care product inventories. As a result of discussions with one of its suppliers during the quarter, the Company made certain supply chain and procurement decisions, including implementing an ingredient substitution due to anticipated regulatory changes related to REACH, the European chemical control law, that affect the supply chain of select Sun Care products. To align with the Company's ingredient selection process, the Company chose to make these changes now, well in advance of next year’s Sun Care season to minimize potential impact to its distribution channels during the peak sales period. As a result, the Company recorded charges primarily for the write-off of finished goods inventory for those select products.
Advertising and sales promotion expense ("A&P") was $63.4 million, or 11.8% of net sales, as compared to $71.0 million, or 12.6% of net sales in the prior year period. Lower spending this quarter was primarily driven by a $5.5 million reduction in non-working spend generated by the Company's Zero-based spending ("ZBS") initiative and a shift in marketing spend from advertising to trade promotions in Wet Shave and Feminine Care.
Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") was $90.8 million, or 16.9% of net sales, as compared to $94.8 million, or 16.8% of net sales in the prior year period. Excluding $0.9 million of I.T. enablement charges for Project Fuel, $2.7 million in costs associated with Jack Black and $0.7 million in favorable currency translation, SG&A decreased $6.9 million or, as a percent of net sales, improved 40 basis points over the prior year period. The operational improvement in SG&A was largely driven by savings generated through the ZBS initiative and lower compensation expense, offset in part by higher e-commerce investments.
The Company recorded a pre-tax restructuring expense of $20.3 million in the quarter in support of Project Fuel consisting of consulting, program management and severance costs compared to $4.7 million in the prior year quarter.
Other income, net was $0.9 million of income during the quarter as compared to $0.1 million income in the prior year period, primarily reflecting a net benefit from foreign currency exchange contract gains and losses in the quarter and revaluation of nonfunctional currency balance sheet exposures.
Earnings before income taxes was $23.5 million during the quarter compared to losses of $252.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, which included a non-cash intangible asset impairment charge of $319.0 million to adjust the carrying values of indefinite-lived tradenames related to the Playtex and Edge brand names. Adjusted operating income increased to $89.4 million in the quarter from $87.7 million in the prior year period.
The effective tax rate for fiscal 2018 was 36.9% as compared to 110.8% in the prior year. The fiscal 2018 effective tax rate includes a net charge of $21.3 million related to the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) comprised of a $98.9 million one-time transition tax on foreign earnings, offset by a $77.6 million benefit from the re-measurement of U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities. The fiscal 2017 effective tax rate reflects a benefit on a net loss primarily due to intangible asset impairment charges. The adjusted effective tax rate for fiscal 2018, excluding the restructuring charges, impairment charges, Sun Care reformulation costs, pension settlement expense, Jack Black integration costs, the disposition of the Playtex gloves business and the impact of the Tax Act, the adjusted effective tax rate for fiscal 2018 was 23.0%, in line with the prior year adjusted rate of 22.9%.
GAAP net earnings (loss) for the quarter was $19.4 million or $0.36 per share compared to losses of $148.4 million or $2.61 per share in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017. Adjusted net earnings in the quarter were $60.2 million or $1.11 per share, as compared to $56.7 million or $1.00 per share in the prior year period.
Zero Based Spending Initiative
The ZBS initiative was established to capture savings and cost-conscious spending policies consistent with the Company's strategic needs. Net cost savings from the ZBS initiative were approximately $33 million in fiscal 2018. Fiscal 2018 ZBS savings are not included in total Project Fuel fiscal 2018 estimated savings, however, going forward the savings associated with the ZBS initiative will be included in Project Fuel.
Project Fuel
Project Fuel is an enterprise-wide transformational initiative, launched in the second fiscal quarter of 2018, designed to address all aspects of the Company's business and cost structure. The project will incorporate the Company's existing ZBS and global productivity initiatives and will include a global restructuring initiative.
Significant progress was made on Project Fuel in the fourth quarter as the cumulative gross cost savings projection for fiscal year 2019 increased from $80 million to approximately $130 million (including $15.4 million in 2018 savings), and the timeline for savings overall was accelerated. This will enable the company to offset significant inflationary headwinds, and also will allow for an expected reinvestment of approximately $45 million into the Company's brands in fiscal 2019. Additionally, the Company continues to make strong progress in simplifying and transforming its organization, structure and key processes that will enable the Company to achieve its desired future state operations.
The Company now expects Project Fuel will generate $225 to $240 million (previously $225 million) in total annual gross savings by the end of the 2021 fiscal year. It is expected that the savings generated will be used to fuel investments and brand building in strategic growth initiatives, offset anticipated operational headwinds from inflation and other rising input costs and improve the overall profitability and cash flow of the Company.
To implement the restructuring element of Project Fuel, the Company now estimates one-time pre-tax charges to be approximately $130 to $140 million (previously $120 to $130 million), with an additional capital investment of $60 to $70 million through the end of the 2021 fiscal year.
Fiscal fourth quarter 2018 Project Fuel related restructuring charges and capital expenditures were $20.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively, bringing cumulative charges and capital expenditures to $39.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively for the fiscal year. Fourth quarter Project Fuel related savings were $8.9 million, bringing cumulative savings to $15.4 million for the fiscal year.
Fiscal 4Q 2018 Operating Segment Results (Unaudited)
Following is a summary of fourth quarter results by segment.
Wet Shave (Men's Systems, Women's Systems, Disposables, Shave Preps)
Wet Shave net sales decreased $18.3 million, or 5.0%, as compared to the prior year. Excluding the impact of currency movements, organic net sales decreased $14.9 million or 4.0%, as compared to the prior year, primarily driven by the impact of unfavorable price mix, driven by higher promotional and coupon spend in North America and Europe. Volumes declined slightly as growth in Women's Systems, driven by Intuition f.a.b., and Disposables was more than offset by declines in Men's Systems related to competitive pressure in North America. Wet Shave segment profit remained flat compared to the prior year quarter excluding currency translation, as the unfavorable price was offset by lower A&P spending.
Sun and Skin Care (Sun Care, Wipes, Gloves, Bulldog)
Sun and Skin Care net sales increased $4.4 million, or 6.2%, as compared to the prior year. Excluding the Jack Black acquisition and the impact of currency movements, organic net sales increased $1.3 million, or 1.8%, as compared with the prior year, with favorable volumes and price mix. International organic net sales increased 11.5%, driven by growth in Asia Pacific, with the launch of Hawaiian Tropic in Australia and growth in Europe due to good end of season weather. Both North America and Latin America sales declined in the quarter. Global Bulldog sales increased over 40% with growth in both International and North America. During the quarter the Company launched the Bulldog direct to consumer site in the U.S. Sun and Skin Care segment profit decreased $0.9 million, or 19.1%, with flat gross margin versus the prior year, and slightly higher A&P spend.
Feminine Care (Tampons, Pads, Liners)
Feminine Care net sales decreased $10.4 million, or 11.2%, as compared to the prior year, driven by volume declines in Gentle Glide and Stayfree, partially offset by growth in Carefree liners. Pricing was also unfavorable due to higher promotional spend in the quarter. Feminine Care segment profit increased $0.4 million, as compared to the prior year, as lower product costs and lower A&P spend more than offset the impact of higher promotional support and higher commodity and warehouse and distribution costs.
All Other (Infant Care, all other brands)
All Other net sales decreased $3.2 million, or 9.7%, as compared to the prior year. Excluding the impact of currency movements, organic net sales decreased $2.9 million, or 8.8%, as compared to the prior year. The decrease in net sales was largely driven by the impact of the Toys "R" Us liquidation compared to the prior year period. All Other segment profit decreased $2.5 million, as compared to the prior year, or 47.2%, driven by the impact of lower product volumes and higher A&P support.
Fiscal 2018 Operating Results (Unaudited)
Net sales were $2,234.4 million in fiscal 2018, a decrease of 2.8% when compared to fiscal 2017, including a 0.6% decrease from the sale of Playtex gloves, and a 0.9% increase from the acquisitions of Jack Black and Bulldog. Organic net sales decreased 4.5%. From a geographic perspective, North America organic net sales were down 6% primarily driven by declines in Wet Shave and Feminine Care, while International organic net sales decreased just over 1% with 5% organic net sales growth in Sun and Skin Care more than offset by a 2% decline in Wet Shave. The decline in International Wet Shave was largely due to the inventory reduction in Japan during the fiscal third quarter.
Gross Margin was $1,036.8 million, or 46.4% of net sales. Excluding $25.3 million related to Sun Care reformulation costs and $1.8 million in Jack Black integration costs, gross margin was 47.6%, a decline of 160 basis points versus the prior year as a percent of net sales. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily driven by unfavorable price mix in Wet Shave which was impacted by increased coupon and trade promotion spend, and Sun and Skin Care which was negatively impacted by higher levels of returns and remnant product sales. Margin was also impacted by unfavorable cost mix primarily driven by lower sales volumes in Wet Shave and Feminine Care and higher commodity and warehouse and distribution costs.
GAAP Net Earnings in fiscal 2018 were $103.3 million or $1.90 per share, compared to $5.7 million or $0.10 per share in fiscal 2017. Adjusted net earnings were $191.6 million or $3.52 per share, compared to $228.4 million or $3.97 per share in fiscal 2017. The decrease in adjusted net earnings was driven primarily by lower operating profit, reflecting a decline in gross profit partially offset by lower overall spending.
Net cash from operating activities was $264.7 million for fiscal 2018, as compared to $313.6 million during the prior year. The decline in operating cash flow of $49 million was primarily driven by the benefit received in fiscal 2017 for entering into an accounts receivable facility, resulting in an acceleration of cash collections from accounts receivable in the prior year. The change in accounts receivable in the current year was flat as the Company continued to operate the accounts receivable facility. This impact was partially offset by other changes in working capital.
In fiscal 2018, the Company completed share repurchases of approximately 2.1 million shares for $124.4 million.
Full Fiscal Year 2019 Financial Outlook
For fiscal 2019, reported net sales are expected to be down low single digits compared with the prior year, including an approximate 100 basis-point unfavorable impact from currency translation and a 60 basis-point combined benefit from the Jack Black acquisition and Playtex gloves divestiture. The Company's outlook reflects an assumption of continued category declines and competitive intensity in Wet Shave.
The Company's outlook for GAAP EPS for fiscal 2019 is in the range of $2.20 to $2.50, and includes Project Fuel restructuring charges, Sun Care reformulation costs and Jack Black integration costs. The outlook for Adjusted EPS is in the range of $3.30 to $3.60. Adjusted operating income margin as a percent of net sales is anticipated to be consistent with the prior year, adjusted for the adoption of ASU 2017-17 in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, as more fully described below.
Project Fuel is expected to generate approximately $115 million in incremental gross savings in fiscal 2019. Approximately 45% of the expected savings will be used to offset anticipated operational headwinds from inflation and other rising input costs while approximately 40% will be reinvested back into the business to fuel brand building in strategic growth initiatives, eCommerce infrastructure development, and price. The remainder will flow to the bottom line and help to offset the impact of declining sales.
For fiscal 2019, Project Fuel related restructuring charges and capital expenditures are now expected to be approximately $70 to $80 million and $40 to $50 million, respectively. Total Company capital expenditures, including Project Fuel are expected to be approximately 4% of net sales.
The effective tax rate for the fiscal year is now estimated to be in the range of 23.5% to 25.5%.
In terms of phasing for the year, the Company expects the organic net sales rate decline through the first half of year to be comparable to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 and expects the quarterly Adjusted earnings per share profile to be similar to fiscal 2018.
The Company anticipates that fiscal 2019 free cash flow will be above 100% of GAAP net earnings.

For the quarter and year ended September 30, 2018, the impact of acquisitions includes net sales and segment profit activity for Jack Black, which was acquired in March 2018. For the year ended September 30, 2018, the impact of acquisitions includes October 2017 net sales and segment profit for Bulldog Skincare Holdings Limited (“Bulldog”) which was acquired in October 2016. |

• | Adjusted net earnings and adjusted earnings per share are defined as net earnings and diluted earnings per share excluding items such as restructuring charges, Sun Care reformulation costs, impairment charges, Jack Black acquisition and integration costs, the sale of the Playtex gloves business, pension settlement expenses, the related tax effects of these items, and the impact of the transition tax and re-measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities related to the Tax Act. |
• | Adjusted effective tax rate is defined as the effective tax rate excluding items such as restructuring charges, Sun Care reformulation costs, impairment charges, Jack Black acquisition and integration costs, the sale of the Playtex gloves business, pension settlement expenses, the related tax effects of these items, and the impact of the transition tax and re-measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities related to the Tax Act from the income tax provision and earnings before income taxes. |
• | Adjusted working capital is defined as receivables, less trade allowances in accrued liabilities, plus inventories, less accounts payable, and is calculated using an average of the trailing four-quarter end balances. |
• | Free cash flow is defined as net cash from operating activities less net capital expenditures. Free cash flow conversion is defined as free cash flow as a percentage of net earnings adjusted for the net impact of non-cash impairments. |

EDGEWELL PERSONAL CARE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited, in millions, except per share data)
Note 1 - Segments
The Company conducts its business in the following four segments: Wet Shave, Sun and Skin Care, Feminine Care and All Other. Segment performance is evaluated based on segment profit, exclusive of general corporate expenses, share-based compensation costs, costs associated with restructuring initiatives, Sun Care reformulation costs, impairment charges, Jack Black, L.L.C. ("Jack Black") integration costs, the sale of the Playtex gloves business, pension settlement expense and the amortization of intangible assets. Financial items, such as interest income and expense, are managed on a global basis at the corporate level. The exclusion of such charges from segment results reflects management's view on how it evaluates segment performance.
On March 1, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of Jack Black, a leading U.S. based luxury men's skincare products company based in the United States, for approximately $90.2, net of cash acquired. The acquisition creates opportunities to expand Edgewell's personal care portfolio in growing categories in the U.S. and globally, while nurturing the brand equity of Jack Black.

Note 2 - GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations
Basic earnings per share is based on the average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted-average number of shares used for the basic earnings per share calculation, adjusted for the dilutive effect of share options and restricted stock equivalent awards.
The following table provides a reconciliation of Net earnings and Net earnings per diluted share ("EPS") to Adjusted net earnings and Adjusted EPS, which are Non-GAAP measures.
