Church & Dwight Announces Miss Mouth’s Messy Eater® Brand AcquisitionMay 29, 2026 6:55 AM
Business Wire Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (NYSE:CHD) has signed and closed a definitive agreement to acquire the fast-growing Miss Mouth’s Messy Eater® brand for approximately $325 million. The brand has gained a rapid following among customers in need of fast-acting, non-toxic, on-the-spot stain removal across multiple surfaces. The transaction closed on May 28th. Miss Mouth’s net sales and EBITDA for the twelve months through December 31, 2025, were approximately $80 million and $28 million. “Strong online sales have catapulted the brand, becoming the #1 stain remover brand on Amazon. Customer loyalty and repeat usage have fueled rapid growth for the brand. The strength of the brand in ecommerce has now expanded to multiple US retailers in the first half of 2026,” said Rick Dierker, Church & Dwight’s Chief Executive Officer. “We are thrilled to add the Miss Mouth’s brand to our strong Fabric Care portfolio. This digitally native brand has industry-leading appeal with Millennial and Gen Z parents looking for safe, effective, eco-friendly cleaning solutions. Miss Mouth’s is the type of high-performance brand that is uniquely positioned in the digital and social media marketing environment. Authentic, trusted online user reviews are powerful and we believe this will continue to drive gains in Miss Mouth’s market share.” Mr. Dierker continued, “Acquiring the Miss Mouth’s brand squarely fits into our acquisition strategy that focuses on adding #1 or #2 brands in a proven category with strong margins that are asset-light and that can take advantage of our global sales, distribution, innovation and operations platforms,” said Dierker. “Our strong balance sheet will continue to provide the flexibility to add additional high-quality acquisition opportunities. This capability has been a key driver of Church & Dwight’s consistently strong shareholder returns.” Miss Mouth’s net sales are expected to grow double digits over the next couple years as the brand continues to expand distribution and increase household penetration. Today, the brand is distributed across ecommerce and the mass class of trade and household penetration is low single digits compared to almost 50% for the category. The acquisition is expected to be neutral to the Company’s 2026 EPS, inclusive of transition costs, acquisition-related expenses, interest expense, intangible amortization expense, and incremental marketing. It is expected to be accretive to cash earnings in 2027. Proskauer Rose LLP acted as legal advisor to Church & Dwight. About Church & Dwight Co., Inc. Church & Dwight Co., Inc.

Cash from operations $1.15 billion
Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (NYSE: CHD) today announced that the Company exceeded its first quarter outlook with stronger than expected sales, gross margin expansion, earnings growth and continued market share gains across its global portfolio. Reflecting our 2025 strategic portfolio actions, first quarter 2026 net sales increased 0.2% to $1,469.3 million, exceeding the Company’s first quarter outlook of a 1% decline. Organic sales grew 5.0% versus our 3% outlook with growth across all three divisions and was driven by volume growth of 5.3%, partially offset by negative pricing and mix of 0.3%.
Rick Dierker, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our brands continue to perform exceptionally well in this dynamic macroeconomic environment. Solid category growth and the performance of our balanced portfolio of value and premium products provide further confidence in our full-year outlook. Our growth was broad-based with volume growth driven by strong innovation and distribution wins across all domestic classes of trade. Our operating model of consistent delivery of sales growth, margin expansion, and efficient working capital management leads to strong cash flow generation, fueling our investments in our existing brands and the acquisition of market leading new brands.
“In the first quarter, the Company’s domestic division grew 5.4% organically due to broad based growth across our household and personal care portfolio. The international division grew organically 3.7% in the first quarter, driven by growth in both GMG and our subsidiaries. Our Specialty Products division’s organic sales grew 3.1% with strong global results. Global e-commerce also continued to grow in the first quarter. Global online sales now represent 24% of total consumer sales. Finally, the Company generated solid cash flow in the quarter, and we continue to expect approximately $1.15 billion of cash from operations this year.
“Reported EPS was $0.91, compared to $0.89 last year, Adjusted EPS was $0.95, an increase of 4.4%. First quarter Adjusted EPS exceeded the Company’s outlook of $0.92 driven primarily by higher sales volume and strong gross margins.”
First Quarter Review
Consumer Domestic net sales were $1,117.7 million, a $12.1 million or 1.1% decrease reflecting the Company’s 2025 strategic portfolio actions. Organic sales increased 5.4% due to volume (+5.5%) partially offset by price and product mix (-0.1%). Organic growth in THERABREATH™ mouthwash and toothpaste, ARM & HAMMER™ cat litter, HERO™ and OXICLEAN™ was partially offset by declines in WATERPIK™ flossers. Reported Consumer Domestic sales also included growth from the TOUCHLAND™ acquisition offset by the sales impact from last year’s strategic portfolio actions.
Consumer International net sales were $273.9 million, a $12.0 million or 4.6% increase. Organic sales increased 3.7% due to higher volume (+5.3%) partially offset by lower price and product mix (-1.6%). Growth was led by the THERABREATH, HERO, and BATISTE™ brands, partially offset by lower Middle East region sales. Reported Consumer International sales also included growth from the TOUCHLAND™ acquisition and was offset by the sales impact from last year’s strategic portfolio actions.
Specialty Products net sales were $77.7 million, a $2.3 million or 3.1% increase. Organic sales also increased 3.1% due to a combination of higher volume (+2.0%) and higher price and product mix (+1.1%).
Gross margin increased 140 basis points to 46.4%. Adjusted gross margin was also 46.4%1, an increase of 130 basis points driven by higher volume, productivity, favorable mix from our acquisitions and portfolio actions partially offset by higher inflation and tariff costs.
Marketing expense was $139.4 million, up $2.8 million and 20 basis points as a percentage of sales compared to last year. The Company continues to invest in its brands and new products, supporting our innovation initiatives and organic growth.
Selling, general, and administrative expense (SG&A) was $251.0 million, including $6.3 million of charges related to restricted stock issued for the TOUCHLAND acquisition. Adjusted SG&A was $239.4 million1 or 16.3% of net sales, a 110-basis point increase versus prior year primarily driven by amortization and SG&A related to the Touchland acquisition.
Income from Operations was $291.0 million. Adjusted income from operations was $302.6 million, an increase of $0.1 million versus prior year.1 In the first quarter, the strong growth in organic sales and gross margin was largely offset by the increased investments in marketing and the higher Touchland SG&A and amortization.
Other Expense increased $5.2 million reflecting lower interest income.
The adjusted effective tax rate decreased to 20.3% from 21.8% in the first quarter of 2025 as a result of lower first quarter state taxes.
Cash Flow
The Company delivered another quarter of strong cash results in the first quarter, with cash from operations of $174.8 million, a decrease of $10.9 million versus prior year. Higher cash earnings were offset by an increase in working capital in support of organic growth. Capital expenditures for the first quarter were $31.9 million, up $15.4 million from the prior year. We continue to expect capital expenditures for the full year to be approximately $130 million or 2% of sales.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s total debt was $2.2 billion and its cash-on-hand was $503.4 million. The strong cash flow and balance sheet provide the Company robust liquidity and flexibility as we continue to pursue additional acquisitions and invest in growth opportunities.
2026 New Products
“Innovation has always been a key driver of our organic growth, and the first quarter of this year was no exception,” said Mr. Dierker. “We are confident that our relentless focus on innovation will continue to drive industry-leading growth, distribution gains at shelf, and market share expansion. New product launches this year are expected to account for half of our organic growth as we innovate in key categories across our portfolio of industry-leading, everyday products.”
Our 2026 innovation portfolio is focused on the following:
THERABREATH™ launched its new line of toothpaste with three offerings designed to offer long-lasting fresh breath, deep cleaning, whitening, and improved gum health. Consumer reviews across multiple platforms have shown a strong average rating of 4.6. Consumers and THERABREATH™ brand loyalists appreciate the effective cleaning and flavor profile – designed to be fresh but not overpowering.
ARM & HAMMER™ Cat Litter has launched DUAL DEFENSE™ with Microban® Clumping Litter. This innovative formula delivers two layers of powerful protection: ARM & HAMMER™ odor eliminating technology that seals and destroys odors, plus Microban® antimicrobial product protection. Designed for germ conscious pet parents, DUAL DEFENSE™ litter provides elevated confidence and a fresher experience.
HERO™ is the leader in acne treatment and is now launching a platform of cleansers developed specifically for acne-prone consumers – effective, gentle on skin, and without the drying effect of many acne products. A line of three HERO™ facial cleansers will launch nationally mid-year 2026, covering a range of acne consumer cleansing needs.
HERO™ MIGHTY SHIELD™ addresses a clear and growing consumer need for invisible, under makeup pimple protection that doesn’t compromise skin or aesthetics – a need driven by fear of worsening breakouts when layering products. This liquid to patch film seals zits while they heal, lets users conceal seamlessly, and delivers the “invisible on skin” benefit creating a new usage occasion.
ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda is a trusted, go-to cleaning solution, and ARM & HAMMER™ is launching a Baking Soda Fresh Laundry Detergent with 10x more baking soda, leaning into its iconic Baking Soda equity. ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda Fresh detergent whitens, brightens, and delivers long-lasting freshness with a Sparkling Fresh scent. This launch expands the value tier of the ARM & HAMMER™ laundry portfolio during a time when consumers are looking for everyday value combined with reliable cleaning performance.
TROJAN™ G.O.A.T. Greatest of all Trojan™ condoms feature an ultra-flex, non-latex material that is our softest and most flexible ever. The enhanced softness and flexibility help deliver a more natural-feeling experience compared to traditional condoms. TROJAN G.O.A.T. condoms are odorless, colorless, and help enhance body heat transfer for next-level intimacy. Since the Q4 2025 launch, TROJAN G.O.A.T. condoms are now the #1 rated TROJAN branded condom on Amazon with a 4.7-star rating.
Outlook for 2026
“We delivered a strong start to 2026 and continued to grow our share. With our largest categories growing on average 3%, our brands grew faster and gained share behind innovation, distribution wins and strong marketing,” said Mr. Dierker. “The strength of our brands, last year’s strategic portfolio actions, and the new growth initiatives give us continued confidence as we progress through 2026. We remain focused on offering high-quality, solution-oriented products to consumers at the right value. Our outlook reflects strong operating fundamentals focused on volume growth, innovation, margin expansion, brand support and operating income growth.
“While the situation in the Middle East remains fluid and is creating some incremental volume and inflationary pressure on commodities and transportation, we believe we can offset this transitory pressure and maintain our outlook for 2026.
“We continue to expect volume driven organic sales growth of approximately 3% to 4%.1 We continue to expect reported sales to decline approximately 1.5% to 0.5%, due entirely to the portfolio actions in 2025.
“Full-year reported gross margin is expected to expand approximately 100 basis points. Higher volume, productivity and favorable mix from our acquisitions and portfolio actions are expected to fully offset higher inflation, tariff costs, and the latest commodity and transportation headwinds. Marketing as a percentage of sales is expected to be approximately 11%, in line with our evergreen model.
“We expect SG&A as a percentage of sales to remain higher when compared to 2025, reflecting the impact of the TOUCHLAND acquisition in the first half of the year and our focused investments on new growth initiatives, ecommerce and our international business. Our adjusted tax rate is expected to be approximately 21.5% versus our adjusted tax rate of 22.3% in 2025.
“We continue to expect full-year reported EPS to increase approximately 18% to 22%. Our Adjusted EPS expectation for 2026 remains at 5% to 8% growth, driven by expected growth in all three divisions. As a reminder, this growth outlook offsets $400 million of lower revenue and related stranded costs connected with our successful 2025 strategic portfolio actions. The Adjusted EPS range excludes a 1% impact from expenses related to an ERP upgrade project that will continue through the first half of this year. We continue to expect 2026 EPS growth to occur in the second half of the year due to the marketing investments and TOUCHLAND acquisition’s amortization and SG&A in the first half of the year.
“Cash flow from operations is expected to be approximately $1.15 billion this year, with higher working capital to support growth in our recent acquisitions. We expect 2026 capital expenditures of approximately $130 million or approximately 2% of sales. We will continue to pursue acquisitions across the globe that meet our strict criteria, with an emphasis on fast-moving consumable products, similar to the THERABREATH, HERO, and TOUCHLAND acquisitions.
“We expect organic sales growth of approximately 3%1 in the second quarter and we expect a reported sales decline of approximately 1% due entirely to the strategic portfolio actions in 2025. Also in the second quarter, we expect gross margin expansion of approximately 50 basis points, reflecting pressure from transportation costs prior to mitigation efforts taking effect later in the year. We also continue to expect an increase in marketing and SG&A, and a tax rate of approximately 21%. The higher marketing and SG&A, which includes Touchland amortization, will more than offset the higher gross margin resulting in an expected Adjusted EPS of $0.88 per share for the quarter.”1

Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (NYSE: CHD) today announced that the Company exceeded its outlook with stronger than expected sales and earnings growth leading to market share gains across our global portfolio. Full year 2025 net sales increased 1.6% to $6,203.2 million, exceeding the Company’s 2025 outlook of 1.5% growth. Organic sales grew 0.7%, despite a 130 basis points impact from a decline in our now exited VMS business and a deceleration in category growth.
“In a mixed consumer and macroeconomic environment, we are pleased to deliver another year of industry-leading results,” said Rick Dierker, Chief Executive Officer. “Our balanced portfolio of value and premium products and our relentless focus on execution delivered strong results for our shareholders, customers, and employees. We continue to drive both dollar and volume share gains in many of our brands, which we expect to continue in 2026. Our consistent delivery of sales growth, focus on margin expansion, and efficient working capital management leads to strong cash flow generation enabling our continued focus on growing our brands organically and acquiring great new brands.
“In 2025, we repositioned our portfolio by exiting our VMS, FLAWLESS™, SPINBRUSH™ and WATERPIK™ showerhead businesses. These actions enable us to devote greater focus to our portfolio’s faster growing value and premium product lines. This portfolio transformation is clearly evident when looking at 2025 consumption results. Before these actions, US consumption in 2025 was 0.9% on a reported basis. However, consumption growth increases to a robust 3.5% when you exclude these exited businesses. The Company is positioned well for stronger organic growth in the future.”
For the full year, the domestic division declined 0.5% organically, while gaining market share in four of our eight power brands. Organic growth in the international division was 5.5% in 2025, driven by broad share gains across our subsidiaries. Our Specialty Products division’s organic sales grew 2.6%. Importantly, organic growth across all three divisions strengthened from the first half to the second half of 2025 with sales growing organically 2% overall in the second half.
Reported gross margin contracted by 100 basis points for the year, primarily from one-time charges related to 2025 business exits and a tariff refund in Q4 2024. Adjusted gross margin held steady in 2025 at 45.2% as our productivity, volume and mix fully offset the headwinds of inflation and tariffs after mitigation.
Full-year EPS was $3.02, a 27.4% increase from 2024 reported EPS. Prior year EPS included a $270.1 million after tax, non-cash charge related to the vitamin business. Full-year 2025 Adjusted EPS was $3.53, an increase of 2.6% compared to 2024 Adjusted EPS. Full-year Adjusted EPS exceeded the Company’s outlook of 1.5%.
Fourth Quarter Review
Q4 net sales were $1,644.2 million, climbing 3.9% compared to net sales in Q4 2024, exceeding the Company’s 3.5% outlook. Weaker than expected category growth and a decline in vitamin sales limited organic sales growth to 0.7% for the quarter, lower than the Company’s outlook of approximately 1.5%. Organic growth was 1.8% in Q4 excluding the now exited VMS business. Reported EPS for Q4 was $0.60, a 21.1% decrease that included an after-tax charge of $45.6 million in connection with the Company’s VMS exit. Adjusted EPS in Q4 was $0.86, up 11.7% from Q4 2024, inclusive of incremental marketing investments to further drive share gains and exit the year with momentum.
Consumer Domestic net sales were $1,271.2 million, a $45.5 million or 3.7% increase. Organic sales decreased 0.1% and increased 1.7% excluding the now exited VMS businesses. Organically, positive price and product mix (+0.6%) was offset by lower volume (-0.7%). Organic growth in THERABREATH™ mouthwash, ARM & HAMMER™ liquid laundry detergent, and HERO™ acne products was offset by declines in the vitamin business and OXICLEAN™. Our Consumer Domestic reported sales growth was fueled by the TOUCHLAND™ brand’s strong double-digit sales growth versus prior year.
Consumer International net sales were $299.8 million, a $14.7 million or 5.2% increase. Organic sales increased 3.6% due to a combination of higher volume (+2.9%) and price and product mix (+0.7%). Organic growth was led by HERO, THERABREATH, and ARM & HAMMER™ baking soda and was broad-based across the majority of our international markets.
Specialty Products net sales were $73.2 million, a $2.0 million or a 2.8% increase. Organic sales also increased 2.8% due to a combination of higher volume (+2.2%) and price and product mix (+0.6%).
Gross margin increased 110 basis points to 45.8% versus prior year. Adjusted gross margin was 45.5%, a 90 basis point increase from the prior year and was 140 basis points better than our outlook. The increases were driven by our productivity programs, higher volumes, business and acquisition mix, and were partially offset by inflation and tariff costs net of mitigation efforts.
Marketing expense was $212.3 million, a $4.4 million increase compared to a year ago. The Company continues to invest in its brands and new products in order to drive share gains, household penetration and organic growth.
Selling, general, and administrative expense (SG&A) was $275.5 million, an increase of $32.2 million, including $18.3 million of charges related to restricted stock and earnout expense from the Touchland acquisition. Adjusted SG&A was $254.0 million1, or 15.4% of net sales, a 20 basis point increase versus the prior year.
Income from Operations was $266.0 million. Adjusted Income from Operations was $282.1 million1, a $24.7 million or 9.6% increase.
Other Expense increased $74.3 million, driven by onetime charges. Adjusted other expense increased $15.6 million, reflecting lower interest income.
The adjusted effective tax rate of 21.7% was favorable compared to 24.9% in Q4 2024. The Company’s results included the benefit of lower state taxes this quarter and the prior year included a one-time non-recurring tax expense.
Cash Flow
The Company delivered strong cash results in 2025 with cash from operations of $1.2 billion, an increase of $59.2 million versus prior year driven by higher cash earnings and working capital improvement actions. Capital expenditures for the full year were $122.4 million, down $57.4 million from the prior year, primarily due to return to normalized capital spending levels in 2025.
As of December 31, 2025, total debt was $2.2 billion and cash-on-hand was $409.0 million. Our strong cash flow and balance sheet provide the Company robust liquidity and flexibility as we continue to pursue acquisitions and growth opportunities.
In the fourth quarter, the company repurchased an additional $300 million of shares, bringing share repurchases to a total of $900 million for 2025.
Vitamin Business Divesture Completed
The sale of VITAFUSION™ and L’IL CRITTERS™ brands, relevant trademarks and licenses, and the Company's manufacturing and distribution facilities in Vancouver and Ridgefield, Washington to Piping Rock, closed on December 31, 2025.
“We believe Piping Rock, a company with deep experience in the vitamin business, will be a successful steward for the VITAFUSION™ and L’IL CRITTERS™ businesses,” said Rick Dierker, Chief Executive Officer. “This sale allows us to better focus on organic growth and future growth initiatives.”
As a result of this transaction, the Company incurred a one-time, after-tax charge of $45.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. The VMS brands represented less than 5% of the Company’s 2025 net sales. In 2026, organic sales reporting will exclude our VMS business from prior periods.
4% Dividend Increase
For the 30th consecutive year, the Company’s Board of Directors has increased our dividend and this is the 125th consecutive year the Company has paid a quarterly dividend. The Company’s Board of Directors declared a 4.2% increase in the quarterly dividend from $0.295 to $0.3075 per share, equivalent to an annual dividend of $1.23 per share. The annual dividend payout will increase from $287 million in 2025 to approximately $291 million. The quarterly dividend will be payable March 2nd, 2026, to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 13, 2026.
“Our dividend increase reflects the Company’s continued desire for stockholders to benefit from our strong performance and our confidence looking forward,” said Mr. Dierker. “Our robust cash flow enables us to return cash to our stockholders while maintaining the financial flexibility to aggressively pursue acquisitions and growth opportunities.”
2026 New Products
“We are excited about the performance of our recent product innovation and the role it plays in driving our organic growth,” said Mr. Dierker. “Our commitment to innovation fuels our industry-leading performance and market share expansion. We expect new product launches in 2026 to continue to drive approximately half of our organic growth as we innovate in a number of key categories.”
Our 2026 innovation portfolio is focused on the following:
THERABREATH™ launched its new line of toothpaste online in August, with three variants designed to offer long-lasting fresh breath, deep cleaning, whitening, and improved gum health. Initial consumer reviews across multiple platforms have shown a strong average rating of 4.6. Consumers and THERABREATH™ brand loyalists appreciate the effective cleaning and flavor profile – designed to be fresh but not overpowering. THERABREATH™ toothpaste is arriving in stores now.
ARM & HAMMER™ Cat Litter has launched DUAL DEFENSE™ with Microban® Clumping Litter, available exclusively today at a leading retailer. This innovative formula delivers two layers of powerful protection: ARM & HAMMER™ odor eliminating technology that seals and destroys odors, plus Microban® antimicrobial product protection. Designed for germ conscious pet parents, which represent the majority of consumers in the category, DUAL DEFENSE™ litter provides elevated confidence and a fresher experience.
HERO™ is the leader in acne treatment and is now launching a platform of cleansers developed specifically for acne consumers – effective, gentle on skin, no drying after-feel. A 3-SKU line of HERO™ facial cleansers will launch nationally mid-year 2026, covering a range of acne consumer cleansing needs.
HERO™ MIGHTY SHIELD™ addresses a clear and growing consumer need for invisible, under makeup pimple protection that doesn’t compromise skin or aesthetics – a need driven by fear of worsening breakouts when layering products. This liquid to patch film seals zits while they heal, then lets users conceal seamlessly, delivering the “invisible on skin” benefit and creating a new usage occasion. Consumer test results indicate strong resonance with both acne prone and makeup wearing consumers.
ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda is a viral, trusted, go-to cleaning solution, and ARM & HAMMER™ is launching a Baking Soda Fresh Laundry Detergent with 10x more baking soda, leaning into its iconic Baking Soda equity. ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda Fresh detergent whitens, brightens, and delivers long-lasting freshness with a Sparkling Fresh scent. This launch expands the value tier of the ARM & HAMMER™ laundry portfolio during a time when consumers are looking for everyday value combined with reliable cleaning performance.
TROJAN™ G.O.A.T. Greatest of all Trojan™ condoms feature our first major material innovation in over two decades, introducing an ultra flex non-latex material that is our softest and most flexible ever. The enhanced softness and flexibility help deliver a more natural-feeling experience compared to traditional condoms. TROJAN G.O.A.T. condoms are odorless, colorless, and help enhance body heat transfer for next-level intimacy. Since the Q4 25 launch, TROJAN G.O.A.T. condoms are outperforming our previous successful TROJAN™ RAW™ launch and are now the #1 rated TROJAN branded condom on Amazon with a 4.7-star rating.
Growth Initiatives 2026-2030
“In an uncertain environment, we are taking steps to ensure our continued strong performance. The Company’s categories for many years have grown at a weighted average rate of 3%, which coupled with our market share gains has historically enabled the Company to grow at a 4% organic sales rate. In 2025, we saw some categories decelerate in the face of global macro uncertainty. Today, I’m announcing that the Company is implementing three incremental growth initiatives that we believe will deliver outsized growth over the next few years. 1) expansion of the ARM & HAMMER brand 2) Growing the Oral care portfolio behind THERABREATH, and 3) international expansion with an acquisition focus. We will discuss each in more detail at our 2026 Analyst Day later today. We are confident these actions will enable the Company to achieve future evergreen business growth even if category growth remains sluggish as a result of external factors and even stronger growth if categories normalize.”
Outlook for 2026
“We gained share in slowing categories in 2025, driven by focused innovation, strong marketing, and effective promotional spending,” said Mr. Dierker. “The strength of our brands, portfolio re-shaping, and the new growth initiatives give us renewed confidence as we enter 2026. We remain focused on offering high-quality products to consumers at the right value. Our outlook is driven by strong operating fundamentals focused on volume growth, innovation, margin expansion, brand support and operating income growth.
“In 2026, we expect volume driven organic sales growth of approximately 3% to 4%.1 This sales outlook is expected to be industry leading and reflects the strength of our brands and our stronger go forward brand portfolio. We expect reported sales to decline approximately 1.5% to 0.5%, due entirely to the businesses exited in 2025.
“Adjusted gross margin is expected to expand approximately 100 basis points from 2025. Higher volume, productivity, favorable mix from our acquisitions and portfolio actions are expected to fully offset higher inflation and tariff costs. Marketing as a percentage of sales is expected to exceed 11%.
“We expect SG&A as a percentage of sales to be higher compared to 2025, reflecting the impact of TOUCHLAND and our focused investments on new growth initiatives, ecommerce and our international division. Adjusted other expense for 2026 is expected to be approximately $75.0 million, compared to Adjusted Other expense of $62.2 million last year, due to lower interest income in 2026. Our adjusted tax rate is expected to be approximately 21.5% versus our adjusted tax rate of 22.3% in 2025.
“We expect full-year reported EPS to increase approximately 18% to 22%. Our Adjusted EPS expectation for 2026 is 5% to 8% growth, driven by expected growth in all divisions, continued TOUCHLAND momentum and gross margin expansion. This outlook offsets the impact of the 2025 business exits which represented $400 million of lower revenue and related stranded costs. The Adjusted EPS range excludes a 1% impact from expenses related to an ERP upgrade project that will continue through the first half of 2026. We expect 2026 EPS growth to be primarily in the second half of the year as we invest incrementally in marketing during the first half of the year and due to the impact of the TOUCHLAND acquisition amortization and SG&A in the first half of the year.
“Cash flow from operations is expected to be approximately $1.15 billion with higher working capital to support double digit growth in our recent acquisitions. We expect 2026 capital expenditures of approximately $130 million, approximately 2% of sales. We will continue to pursue acquisitions across the globe that meet our strict criteria, with an emphasis on fast-moving consumable products, similar to the THERABREATH, HERO, and TOUCHLAND acquisitions.
“For Q1, we expect organic sales growth of approximately 3%¹. We expect a reported sales decline of approximately 1%, due entirely to the businesses exited in 2025. We expect higher gross margin, an increase in marketing and SG&A, and a tax rate of approximately 21%. As result, we expect Adjusted EPS of $0.92 per share for the quarter, slightly ahead of last year’s adjusted Q1 EPS.” 1
