Edgewell Personal Care Announces Third Quarter Fiscal 2020 Results

The Company Announces Plan to Acquire CREMO Company

Shelton, Conn - August 4, 2020 - Edgewell Personal Care Company (NYSE: EPC) today announced results for its third fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2020.

Executive Summary
Net sales were $483.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, a decrease of 20.6% when compared to the prior year period. Organic net sales decreased 14.7% compared to the prior year period (Organic basis excludes the impact from the sale of the Infant and Pet Care business and the negative translational impact from currency.)
GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share ("EPS") were $0.09 for the third quarter compared to a loss of $8.51 in the prior year period. Adjusted EPS were $0.66 for the third quarter, compared to $1.11 in the prior year period.
The Company ended the fiscal third quarter with $512 million in cash on hand, access to an undrawn $425 million credit facility and a net leverage ratio of 2.1 times. During the quarter the Company successfully issued $750 million in senior unsecured notes.
As announced in a separate release, the Company has entered into a definitive purchase agreement to acquire CREMO, a premier men's grooming company in the U.S, in an all-cash transaction at a purchase price of approximately $235 million.

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.

“Though COVID-19 had a considerable impact on sales in our core categories in the third quarter, good execution across the organization helped stabilize market share performance in Wet Shave and contributed to meaningful share gains in U.S. Sun Care. Overall sales performance was most impacted in the months of April and May, with June showing moderating declines, and that improving trend continuing into July. As we managed through this period, we continued to prioritize the health and well-being of our teams around the world, to focus on meeting the needs of our customers through continuity of our business operations, and to preserve the financial health of our company with expense and capital discipline. Our strong balance sheet and attractive free cash flow generation, along with the continued Project Fuel savings enabled reinvestment in growth initiatives and the strategic priorities that will strengthen our business and drive the long-term success of the Company” said Rod Little, Edgewell’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
Mr. Little continued, “We are making significant progress developing our long-term strategy with certain key pillars already established, including having the right leaders and leadership structure and leaning in on investments to accelerate our participation in faster growing categories. Along those lines, as disclosed in a separate press release issued today, we are excited to announce
1




our intent to acquire CREMO, one of the largest insurgent brands in men’s grooming that represents an ideal strategic fit as we continue to position Edgewell for growth and drive shareholder value.”




Fiscal 3Q 2020 Operating Results (Unaudited)

Net sales were $483.9 million in the quarter, a decrease of 20.6%, as compared to the prior year period. Excluding a $31.3 million negative impact from the sale of the Infant and Pet Care business and a $4.6 million negative impact from currency translation, organic net sales decreased 14.7% compared to the prior year period. The decline in organic net sales in the quarter was largely due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the related stay at home orders and travel restrictions which resulted in lower consumer demand and decreases in net sales for our Wet Shave and Sun Care products. Those decreases were partially offset by increased sales of our Wet Ones products driven by on-going demand strength, in part related to COVID-19. Management estimates that when excluding the COVID-19 related impacts, organic net sales were essentially flat to slightly down with the prior year period and consistent with recent trends. Management estimated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on net sales at the product and category level, through a detailed analysis of many factors, including rolling weekly and monthly net sales trends prior to COVID-19, historical and current order patterns by customer compared to the prior year period and segment performance in the context of overall category trends. This is the Company’s best estimate and there can be no assurance that our estimate reflects the actual COVID-19 impact to net sales.
Gross profit decreased $69.5 million compared to the prior year period, including a $9.6 million impact from the divestiture of the Infant and Pet Care business, $3.9 million related to incremental one-time COVID-19 expenses, and $3.1 million of unfavorable foreign currency changes. Gross margin decreased 200 basis points to 46.0%, as compared to the prior year period. Excluding the impact of incremental COVID-19 expenses, restructuring charges and Sun Care reformulation charges, gross margin decreased 130 basis points compared to the prior year period. The decrease was a result of volume declines in Wet Shave and Sun Care and unfavorable category mix, partly offset by Sun Care price increases, lower commodity costs and favorable transactional currency.
Advertising and sales promotion expense ("A&P") was $67.5 million, or 13.9% of net sales, as compared to $91.8 million, or 15.1% of net sales in the prior year period. The reduction in A&P expense was primarily driven by the Company’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in reduced and delayed spend across multiple product lines. The decrease included the impact of the divestiture of the Infant and Pet Care business which represented A&P expense of $2.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019.
Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") was $91.3 million, or 18.9% of net sales, as compared to $94.8 million, or 15.6% of net sales in the prior year period. Excluding SG&A costs associated with Project Fuel, acquisition and integration costs, and business development evaluation costs, SG&A was approximately $1.9 million below the same period last year, driven mostly by lower travel and other discretionary spend.
The Company recorded pre-tax restructuring and other non-recurring expenses of $10.4 million in the quarter in support of Project Fuel, consisting largely of severance and outplacement, IT enablement and consulting costs.
Other (income) expense, net was $3.5 million of income during the quarter compared to $2.7 million of expense in the prior year period. The increase in income in the third quarter was largely related to the recovery of local currencies in the aftermath of significant declines in the second quarter caused by the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in favorable revaluation of balance sheet exposures.
The Company recorded pre-tax charges of $26.2 million for the early retirement of its $600 million Senior Notes due 2021 in the third quarter of fiscal 2020.
Earnings (loss) before income taxes was $5.3 million during the quarter compared to a loss of $502.7 million in the prior year period. Adjusted operating income declined to $58.1 million in the quarter from $97.9 million in the prior year period. Excluding the $3.4 million impact from the Infant and Pet Care business divestiture adjusted operating income declined by $36.4 million.
The effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 was 26.1% as compared to 4.3% in the prior year. The effective tax rate for the prior year period reflects a small tax benefit on a net loss, due to the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, a portion of which are non-deductible. The rate was also unfavorably impacted by a $4.7 million net transitional charge resulting from the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding the tax impact of impairment charges, restructuring charges, cost of early debt retirement, the gain on the disposition of the Infant and Pet Care business, incremental COVID-19 pandemic expenses, Feminine and Infant Care evaluation costs, and legal settlement expenses, the adjusted effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 was 23.7%, down from the prior year period adjusted tax rate of 24.4%.

GAAP net earnings (loss) for the quarter were $4.7 million or $0.09 per share compared to a loss of $460.7 million or $8.51 per share in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Adjusted net earnings in the quarter were $35.9 million or $0.66 per share, as compared to $60.5 million or $1.11 per share in the prior year period. Excluding the $0.05 impact from the divestiture of the Infant and Pet Care business, adjusted earnings per share decreased by $0.40, driven by the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the quarter.
Net cash from operating activities was $118.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 compared to $98.2 million used in operating activities in the prior year period, reflecting improved working capital as compared to the prior year period.
Project Fuel
As previously outlined Project Fuel is an enterprise-wide transformational initiative that was launched in the second fiscal quarter of 2018, to address all aspects of Edgewell's business and cost structure, simplifying and transforming the organization, structure and key processes. Project Fuel is facilitating further re-investment in the Company’s growth strategy while enabling Edgewell to achieve its desired future state operations.
The Company expects Project Fuel will generate $225 to $240 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 cost 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 expects to incur one-time pre-tax charges of approximately $130 to $140 million through the end of the 2021 fiscal year.
Fiscal third quarter 2020 Project Fuel related gross savings were approximately $23 million, bringing cumulative gross savings to approximately $194 million for the project to date. Fiscal third quarter 2020 Project Fuel related restructuring charges were $10.4 million, bringing cumulative charges to $126 million for the project to date.
For fiscal 2020, Project Fuel is expected to generate approximately $70 million in incremental gross savings. Project Fuel related restructuring charges are expected to be approximately $35 million.


Fiscal 3Q 2020 Operating Segment Results (Unaudited)
In the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company completed the sale of the Infant and Pet Care business that made up the majority of the All Other segment. Products related to the Company's manicure kits were not included within the sale and the results were reclassified to the Sun and Skin Care segment for both the current and prior year period. The following is a summary of third quarter results by segment:
Wet Shave (Men's Systems, Women's Systems, Disposables, and Shave Preps)
Wet Shave net sales decreased $49.7 million, or 15.2%, as compared to the prior year period. Excluding the impact of currency movements, organic net sales decreased $46.3 million or 14.1%. The decline in sales was largely volume related driven by significant category declines globally, driven by COVID-19, as well as expected distribution losses in North America. By region, North America organic net sales decreased 15.8% while International markets decreased 12.6%. Wet Shave segment profit decreased $9.5 million, or 17.6%, driven by lower volumes and unfavorable pricing, partly offset by lower costs and A&P spend.
Sun and Skin Care (Sun Care, Wipes, Bulldog, and Jack Black)
Sun and Skin Care net sales decreased $32.4 million, or 19.1%, as compared to the prior year period. Excluding the impact of currency movements, organic net sales decreased $31.3 million, or 18.5%, reflecting a 30% organic net sales decline in Sun Care, as global demand was significantly impacted by COVID-19 in April and May. This was partly offset by Wet One’s, which increased 52% and Men’s grooming, which increased 5%, driven by Bulldog. Sun and Skin Care segment profit decreased $18.9 million, or 44.6%, driven by lower volumes in Sun Care, unfavorable price mix and unfavorable cost mix driven by production volumes, higher warehousing costs and increased reserves for obsolete inventory. These declines were partially offset by lower A&P spend and favorable materials pricing.
Feminine Care (Tampons, Pads, and Liners)
Feminine Care net sales decreased $11.9 million, or 14.7%, as compared to the prior year period. The decline in net sales was largely driven by reduced volumes related to last quarter’s pantry loading at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, overall category declines and heightened competitive pressure, as well as expected distribution losses at Walmart. Feminine Care segment profit decreased $3.5 million, or 22.5% as compared to the prior year period, driven by lower volumes and unfavorable price mix, partly offset by lower A&P spending.

This Non-GAAP information is provided as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses this Non-GAAP information internally to make operating decisions and believes it is helpful to investors because it allows more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of ongoing operating results. The information can also be used to perform analysis and to better identify operating trends that may otherwise be masked or distorted by the types of items that are excluded. This Non-GAAP information is a component in determining management's incentive compensation. Finally, the Company believes this information provides a higher degree of transparency. The following provides additional detail on the Company's Non-GAAP measures.

The Company analyzes its net revenue on an organic basis to better measure the comparability of results between periods. Organic net sales exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency and dispositions. This information is provided because these fluctuations can distort the underlying change in net sales either positively or negatively. For the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2020, the impact of dispositions includes net sales and segment profit activity for the Infant and Pet Care business, which was sold in December 2019.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before income taxes, interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization and excludes items such as impairment charges, restructuring charges, acquisition and integration planning costs, cost of early debt retirement, pandemic expenses, the gain or loss on the disposal of a business, business development evaluation costs, legal settlement expenses, and Sun Care reformulation charges.

Adjusted net earnings and adjusted earnings per share are defined as net earnings and diluted earnings per share excluding items such as impairment charges, restructuring charges, acquisition and integration planning costs, cost of early debt retirement, pandemic expenses, the gain or loss on the disposal of a business, business development evaluation costs, legal settlement expenses, and Sun Care reformulation charges.
Adjusted effective tax rate is defined as the effective tax rate excluding items such as impairment charges, restructuring charges, acquisition and integration planning costs, cost of early debt retirement, pandemic expenses, the gain or loss on the disposal of a business, business development evaluation costs, legal settlement expenses, Sun Care reformulation charges, and the related tax effects of these items 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.
Net leverage ratio is defined as total debt less cash divided by trailing four quarter credit agreement compliance EBITDA per the Credit Agreement dated April 3, 2020.

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 three segments: Wet Shave, Sun and Skin Care, and Feminine Care (collectively, the “Segments”, and each individually, a “Segment”). Segment performance is evaluated based on segment profit, exclusive of general corporate expenses, share-based compensation costs, impairment charges, costs associated with restructuring initiatives, incremental COVID-19 related expenses, cost of early debt retirement, acquisition and integration planning costs, the gain on the disposal of the Infant and Pet Care business, Feminine and Infant Care evaluation costs, legal settlement expenses, Sun Care reformulation charges, 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.
The Company completed the sale of its Infant and Pet Care business in December 2019. As a result, no additional Net Sales or Segment Profit will be reported for the All Other segment in subsequent periods. Remaining operations from the All Other segment consisted of manicure kits. The net sales and operating expenses for these items were reclassified to the Sun and Skin Care segment for both the current and prior year periods.
Segment net sales and profitability are presented below:
