Significant Gross Margin Expansion

GAAP EPS decreased 4%, Adjusted EPS increased 23%

Updates Full Year Outlook

Shelton, Conn - August 6, 2024 - Edgewell Personal Care Company (NYSE: EPC) today announced results for its third fiscal quarter 2024 ended June 30, 2024.

Executive Summary

•Net sales were $647.8 million, a decrease of 0.3% compared to the prior year quarter.

•Organic net sales increased 0.6% (Organic basis excludes the impact from currency movements.)

•GAAP Diluted Net Earnings Per Share ("EPS") were $0.98, compared to $1.02 in the prior year quarter.

•Adjusted EPS were $1.22, compared to $0.99 in the prior year quarter.

•Ended the third quarter with $196.1 million in cash on hand, access to an additional $369.7 million revolving credit facility and a net debt leverage ratio of 3.1x.

•Returned $17.4 million to shareholders in the form of $9.9 million in share repurchases and $7.5 million of dividends in the third quarter.

•The Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.15 per common share on August 6, 2024 for the third quarter.

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 for the same period in the prior fiscal year unless otherwise stated.

“Our third quarter results reflected robust gross margin accretion leading to substantial adjusted EBITDA and earnings per share growth. Amidst a competitive and dynamic market landscape, organic net sales growth featured continued strength in our Right-to-Win portfolio, propelled by our industry-leading Sun Care and Grooming businesses. Our international businesses sustained their momentum, achieving significant growth through a balanced mix of pricing and volume improvements. Crucially, we achieved over 160-basis points of adjusted gross margin accretion, driven by our steadfast commitment to cost productivity and strategic revenue management initiatives," stated Rod Little, Edgewell’s President and Chief Executive Officer. "Reflecting on our performance to date, while we now anticipate concluding the year with sales growth of about 1% and slightly below our previously forecasted range, we are increasing our full year projections for adjusted EPS and EBITDA. Our transformation that began just over three years ago continues to yield positive results. In order to accelerate our progress across key priorities, we announced, in a separate press release today, key changes to enhance our leadership team and simplify our operating model. I’m confident that these changes will strengthen our business and better position Edgewell for sustainable top and bottom-line growth,” concluded Mr. Little.

Fiscal 3Q 2024 Operating Results (Unaudited)

Net sales were $647.8 million in the quarter, a decrease of 0.3%, including a $6.2 million unfavorable impact from currency movements. Organic net sales increased 0.6%, as continued strong performance in International markets as well as growth in our Right to Win portfolio of Sun Care and Grooming were partially offset by declines in North America Wet Shave and Feminine Care. In aggregate, increased pricing and revenue management more than offset the impact of lower volumes in North America.

Gross profit was $287.1 million, as compared to $280.3 million in the prior year quarter. Gross margin as a percent of net sales increased 120-basis points, to 44.3% in the quarter. Adjusted gross margin, as a percent of net sales, increased 160-basis points, as productivity savings of approximately 225-basis points and the benefit of higher pricing and strategic revenue management of approximately 110-basis points more than offset core inflation and lower volume absorption of approximately 60-basis points, unfavorable mix and other of approximately 100-basis points and an unfavorable currency impact of approximately 15-basis points.

Advertising and sales promotion expense ("A&P") was $76.6 million, or 11.8% of net sales, a decrease of $3.4 million, compared to $80.0 million, or 12.3%, of net sales in the prior year quarter, reflecting a re-allocation of brand investment from A&P into increased trade promotion and consumer activation spend.

Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") was $110.1 million, or 17.0% of net sales, as compared to $96.3 million, or 14.8% of net sales in the prior year quarter. Adjusted SG&A was 16.2% of net sales, an increase of 50-basis points, primarily driven by higher people expenses and legal costs, partially offset by operational efficiency savings, lower bad debt and favorable currency impacts.

The Company recorded pre-tax restructuring and re-positioning expenses and costs in support of cost efficiency and effectiveness programs of $4.9 million in the quarter, a charge related to a legal matter of $2.5 million, and acquisition and integration costs related to the Billie acquisition of $0.7 million.

Operating income, was $82.7 million, inclusive of a $2.3 million unfavorable impact from currency movements, compared to $86.2 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted operating income was $94.8 million, or 14.6% of net sales, compared to $84.1 million, or 12.9% of net sales in the prior year quarter. Adjusted operating margin increased 170-basis points, reflecting higher gross margin.

Interest expense associated with debt was $18.8 million, compared to $19.2 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease in interest expense was the result of a lower overall debt balance on the Company’s revolving credit facility, partially offset by higher interest rates.

Other expense (income), net was expense of $1.4 million compared to income of $3.8 million in the prior year quarter. The current year quarter included a loss on investment of $3.1 million.

The effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 was 22.2% compared to 25.9% in the prior year period. The adjusted effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 was 22.3%, down from the prior year period adjusted effective tax rate of 25.9%. The fiscal 2024 effective tax rate reflects the favorable mix of earnings in lower tax rate jurisdictions and the impact of a change in the Company’s prior estimates.

GAAP net earnings were $49.0 million or $0.98 per diluted share compared to $53.0 million or $1.02 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net earnings were $61.2 million or $1.22 per share, inclusive of a $0.06 unfavorable currency impact, compared to $51.3 million or $0.99 per share in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $117.2 million, inclusive of a $4.0 million unfavorable currency impact, compared to $109.7 million in the prior year quarter.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $157.3 million for the nine months ending June 30, 2024, compared to $168.3 million in the prior year period. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was largely driven by changes in net working capital, partially offset by increased earnings.

Capital Allocation

On August 6, 2024, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per common share for the third fiscal quarter of fiscal 2024. The dividend will be payable on October 3, 2024 to shareholders of record as the close of business on September 4, 2024. During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company paid dividends totaling $7.5 million to stockholders and completed share repurchases of approximately 0.3 million shares at a total cost of $9.9 million. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had 3.5 million shares of common stock available for repurchase in the future under the Board’s 2018 authorization.

Fiscal 3Q 2024 Operating Segment Results (Unaudited)

Wet Shave (Men's Systems, Women's Systems, Disposables, and Shave Preps)

Net sales decreased $7.8 million, or 2.4%. Organic net sales decreased $2.0 million or 0.6%, as growth in international markets, driven by both higher volumes and price, was more than offset by volume declines in North America. North America sales were impacted by continued weak category and channel dynamics, particularly in the highly promotional drug channel, along with heightened competitive dynamics in Women’s shave, as well as significant declines in Shave Preps. Wet Shave segment profit increased $15.3 million, or 47.4%. Organic segment profit, excluding the unfavorable impact from currency increased $17.5 million, or 54.2%, reflecting higher gross margins and lower marketing expenses.

Sun and Skin Care (Sun Care, Wet Ones, Bulldog, Jack Black and Cremo)

Net sales increased $12.0 million, or 4.9%. Organic net sales increased $12.4 million, or 5.1%, driven by Sun Care growth across both international and North America markets, as well as double-digit growth in Grooming. Sun Care growth reflected modest growth in North America, reflecting weak early-season U.S. weather dynamics, followed by a very strong month of June. Sun and Skin segment profit increased $2.8 million, or 4.6%, with minimal currency impact, primarily driven by higher gross margins, partly offset by higher marketing and SG&A expenses.

Feminine Care (Tampons, Pads, and Liners)

Net sales decreased $6.4 million, or 7.9% with minimal currency impact, largely driven by a decline in Tampons and Pads, partly offset by growth in Liners. Segment profit decreased $7.4 million, or 52.9%. Organic segment profit decreased $7.4 million, or 52.9%, with minimal currency impact, primarily driven by lower sales and the resulting impact on gross profit as well has higher marketing expenses.

Forward-Looking Statements. This document contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. You should not place undue reliance on these statements. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of words or phrases such as "believe," "expect," "expectation," "anticipate," "may," "could," "intend," "belief," "estimate," "plan," "target," "predict," "likely," "will," "should," "forecast," "outlook," or other similar words or phrases. These statements are not based on historical facts, but instead reflect the Company's expectations, estimates or projections concerning future results or events, including, without limitation, the future earnings and performance of Edgewell or any of its businesses. Many factors outside our control could affect the realization of these estimates. These statements are not guarantees of performance and are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict and could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those indicated by those statements. The Company cannot assure you that any of its expectations, estimates or projections will be achieved. The forward-looking statements included in this document are only made as of the date of this document and the Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement to reflect subsequent events or circumstances, except as required by law. You should not place undue reliance on these statements.

In addition, other risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that it presently considers immaterial could significantly affect the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties include those detailed from time to time in the Company's publicly filed documents, including in Item 1A. Risk Factors of Part I of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 28, 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures. While the Company reports financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the U.S., this discussion also includes non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures are referred to as "adjusted" or "organic" and exclude items which are considered by the Company as unusual or non-recurring and which

may have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on the Company’s financial results in any particular period. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures, including reconciliations of measures related to the Company's fiscal 2024 financial outlook, are included within the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included with this release.

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 utilizes “adjusted” non-GAAP measures including gross profit, SG&A, operating income, income taxes, net earnings, diluted earnings per share, and EBITDA to internally make operating decisions.

◦Constant currency measures are calculated by removing the impact of translational and transactional foreign currencies changes, net of foreign currency hedges compared to the prior year. Transactional foreign currency changes are driven by foreign legal entities’ transactions not denominated in local currency.

•The Company analyzes its net sales and segment profit on an organic basis to better measure the comparability of results between periods. Organic net sales and organic segment profit exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency and the impact of acquisitions.

◦Segment profit will be impacted by fluctuations in translation and transactional foreign currency. The impact of currency was applied to segments using management’s best estimate.

•Free cash flow is defined as net cash from operating activities, less capital expenditures plus collections of deferred purchase price of accounts receivable sold and proceeds from sales of fixed assets. 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 debt is defined as Gross debt less cash. Net debt leverage ratio is defined as net debt less cash divided by trailing twelve month adjusted EBITDA.

Basis of Presentation. Please refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 28, 2023, for a revision of previously issued consolidated financial statements, which may impact year over year results or future estimates included in this release.

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, items which are considered by the Company to be unusual or non-recurring and which may have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on the Company’s financial results in any particular period 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.
