EDGEWELL PERSONAL CARE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited, in millions, except per share data)
Note 1 - Background and Basis of Presentation
Background
Edgewell Personal Care Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Edgewell” or the “Company”) is one of the world’s largest manufacturers and marketers of personal care products in the wet shave and sun and skin care categories. With operations in approximately 20 countries, the Company’s products are widely available in more than 50 countries.
The Company conducts its business in the following two segments:
•Wet Shave consists of products sold under the Schick®, Wilkinson SwordTM, Edge, Skintimate®, Billie®, Shave Guard brands and our custom brands group (formerly sold under our Shave Guard and Personna® brands), as well as non-branded products. The Company’s wet shave products include razor handles and refillable blades, disposable shave products, and shaving gels and creams.
•Sun and Skin Care consists of Banana Boat® and Hawaiian Tropic® sun care products, Jack Black®, Bulldog® and Cremo® men’s and women’s grooming products, Billie women’s grooming products and Wet Ones® products.
See Feminine Care Divestiture in the Basis of Presentation section below for information regarding discontinued operations.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) under the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The preparation of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement have been included in the interim results reported. The fiscal year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but do not include all of the annual disclosures required by GAAP; accordingly, these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements included in its 2025 Annual Report filed with the SEC on November 18, 2025.
Feminine Care Divestiture
On February 2, 2026, we closed the sale of our Feminine Care segment to Essity, a leading global health and hygiene company based in Sweden for $340.0. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the results of the Feminine Care segment are presented as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income and, as such, have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. Further, the Company reclassified the assets and liabilities of the Feminine Care disposal group as assets and liabilities held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2025. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are presented on a consolidated basis with both continuing operations and discontinued operations. All amounts, percentages and disclosures for all periods presented reflect only the continuing operations of Edgewell unless otherwise noted. See Note 2 for additional information.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. This ASU modernizes the capitalization criteria for internal-use software by eliminating references to project stages and clarifying the threshold applied to begin capitalizing costs. This guidance is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this new guidance.
8
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. ASU 2024-03 provides guidance to expand disclosures related to the disaggregation of income statement expenses. The standard requires, in the notes to the financial statements, disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses which includes purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a retrospective or prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures to update income tax disclosure requirements primarily by requiring specific categories and greater disaggregation within the rate reconciliation and disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The amendments in the ASU also remove disclosures related to certain unrecognized tax benefits and deferred taxes. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively and early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of the requirements on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year had, or is expected to have, a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures to expand reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in the ASU require that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to an entity's chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), a description of other segment items by reportable segment, and any additional measures of a segment's profit or loss used by the CODM when deciding how to allocate resources. Annual disclosures are required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Interim disclosures are required for periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Retrospective application is required for all prior periods presented and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this ASU as of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 17 for additional information regarding the Company’s segment reporting.

Note 2 - Discontinued Operations
On February 2, 2026, we closed the sale of our Feminine Care segment to Essity and received proceeds of approximately $340 .0 on a cash-free and debt-free basis. In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the assets and liabilities of the segment were classified as held for sale and the segment’s results are presented as discontinued operations. This change was applied on a retrospective basis. As of the date we determined the Feminine Care segment to be held for sale, we tested the assets within the disposal group, including goodwill, for impairment and recorded a goodwill impairment loss of $37.4 . Fair value of the reporting unit was determined under a market approach and based on the offer received to purchase the disposal group, a Level 3 fair value input.
The following table presents the financial results of Feminine Care included in (Loss) earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

| (Loss) earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax | $ | ( | $ | $ | ( | $ | |||||||||||||||||
(1) The income tax provision on discontinued operations differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to non-deductible goodwill included in the book carrying value used to compute the (gain)/loss of the disposed of business.
The following table reconciles the gross proceeds with the loss on assets held for sale included in (Loss) earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax:

| Loss on assets held for sale | $ | ||||||||||
(1) Includes gross proceeds of $340.0, net of purchase price adjustment of $1.1.
In the second quarter of 2026, upon derecognizing the net assets of the disposal group because of the closing of the transaction, we finalized the calculation of the loss on assets held for sale reflective of a final purchase price adjustment, transaction costs and revised carrying amounts at the sale date.

| Effective tax rate | % | % | % | % | |||||||||||||||||||
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the difference between the federal statutory rate and the effective rate was primarily due to an unfavorable mix of earnings in higher tax rate jurisdictions.
For the six months ended March 31, 2026, the difference between the federal statutory rate and the effective rate was primarily due to less favorable unusual items in the period. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, the difference was primarily due to an unfavorable mix of earnings in higher tax rate jurisdictions.
Note 5 - (Loss) Earnings per Share
Basic (loss) earnings per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net (loss) earnings per share is based on the number of shares used for the basic (loss) earnings per share calculation, adjusted for the dilutive effect of share options, restricted share equivalent (“RSE”) and performance restricted share equivalent (“PRSE”) awards.
The following is the reconciliation between the number of weighted-average shares used in the basic and diluted net (loss) earnings per share calculation:

Note 10 - Accounts Receivable Facilities
The Company participates in accounts receivable facility programs both in the United States and Japan. These receivable agreements are between the Company and MUFG Bank, LTD (“MUFG”), and the subsidiaries of both parties. Transfers under the accounts receivable repurchase agreements are accounted for as sales of accounts receivables, resulting in the receivables being derecognized from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. MUFG, as the purchaser, assumes the credit risk at the time of sale and has the right at any time to assign, transfer, or participate any of its rights under the purchased receivables to another bank or financial institution. The purchase and sale of receivables under accounts receivable repurchase agreements is intended to be an absolute and irrevocable transfer without recourse by the purchaser to the Company for the creditworthiness of any obligor. The Company has considered its performance obligation to collect and service the receivables sold in the United States and Japan and has determined that the costs associated with such services are not material. The Company has deemed the compensation received acceptable servicing compensation and as such, the Company does not recognize a servicing asset or liability.

Note 16 - Financial Instruments and Risk Management
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may enter into contractual arrangements (also referred to as derivatives) to reduce its exposure to foreign currency. The Company has master netting agreements with certain of its counterparties as set forth in detail below that allow for the settlement of contracts in an asset position with contracts in a liability position in the event of default. The Company manages counterparty risk through the utilization of investment grade commercial banks, diversification of counterparties, and its counterparty netting arrangements. The section below outlines the types of derivatives in place as of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, as well as the Company’s objectives and strategies for holding derivative instruments.
Foreign Currency Risk
A significant share of the Company’s sales is tied to currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reporting currency. As such, a weakening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can have an unfavorable impact on reported earnings. Conversely, strengthening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can improve reported results. The primary currencies to which the Company is exposed include the euro, the Japanese yen, the British pound, the Canadian dollar, and the Australian dollar.
Additionally, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries enter into internal and external transactions that create non-functional currency balance sheet positions at the foreign subsidiary level. These exposures are generally the result of intercompany purchases, intercompany loans and, to a lesser extent, external purchases, and are revalued in the foreign subsidiary’s local currency at the end of each month. Changes in the value of the non-functional currency balance sheet positions in relation to the foreign subsidiary’s local currency results in an exchange gain or loss recorded in Other (income) expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. The primary currency to which the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are exposed is the U.S. dollar.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company has interest rate risk with respect to interest expense on variable rate debt. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had no material variable rate debt outstanding, which has previously consisted primarily of outstanding borrowings under its U.S. Revolving Credit Facility.
Cash Flow Hedges
As of March 31, 2026, the Company maintains a cash flow hedging program related to foreign currency risk. These derivative instruments have a high correlation to the underlying exposure being hedged and have been deemed highly effective by the Company for accounting purposes in offsetting the associated risk.
The Company has forward currency contracts to hedge cash flow uncertainty associated with currency fluctuations. These transactions are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The Company had unrealized pre-tax gains of $2.6 and unrealized pre-tax losses of $1.4 as of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively, on these forward currency contracts, which are accounted for as cash flow hedges and included in AOCI in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Assuming foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar remain at March 31, 2026 levels over the next 12 months, the majority of the pre-tax losses included in AOCI in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2026 is expected to be included in Other (income) expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Contract maturities for these hedges extend into fiscal 2027. As of March 31, 2026, there were 64 open foreign currency contracts with a total notional value of $132.0 .
Derivatives not Designated as Hedges
The Company has foreign currency derivative contracts, which are not designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes, to hedge balance sheet exposures. Any gains or losses on these contracts are expected to be offset by exchange gains or losses on the underlying exposures and, thus, are not expected to be subject to significant market risk. The change in the estimated fair value of the foreign currency contracts for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, resulted in gains of $0.1 and $0.7 , respectively, as compared to a loss of $0.3 and a gain of $0.6 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, respectively. These were recorded in Other (income) expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. As of March 31, 2026, there was one open foreign currency derivative contract not designated as a cash flow hedge with a total notional value of $9.0 .

Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions or external inputs from inactive markets.

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, which are carried at fair value and measured on a recurring basis during the period, all of which are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy:
| March 31, 2026 | September 30, 2025 | ||||||||||

| Deferred compensation liability | $ | ( | $ | ( | |||||||
| Derivatives - foreign currency contracts asset (liability) | ( | ||||||||||
Net liabilities at estimated fair value | $ | ( | $ | ( | |||||||
The estimated fair value of the deferred compensation liability is determined based upon the quoted market prices of the investment options that are offered under the plan. As of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, the estimated fair value of foreign currency contracts is the amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts, considering first the quoted market prices of comparable agreements or, in the absence of quoted market prices, factors such as interest rates, currency exchange rates, and remaining maturities.
As of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, the Company had no Level 1 financial assets or liabilities, other than pension plan assets, and no Level 3 financial assets or liabilities.
As of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, the fair market value of fixed rate long-term debt was $1,198.0 and $1,198.2 , respectively, compared to its carrying value of $1,250.0
Note 17 - Segment Data
The reportable segments are organized based on products and were determined in accordance with how our Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), develops and executes global strategies to drive growth and profitability. These strategies include global plans for branding and product positioning, technology, research and development programs, cost reductions including supply chain management, and capacity and capital investments for each of these businesses.
The Company’s operating model includes some shared business functions across the segments, including product warehousing and distribution, transaction processing functions and, in most cases, a combined sales force and management teams. The Company applies a fully allocated cost basis, in which shared business functions are allocated among the segments. Such allocations are estimates and do not represent the costs of such services if performed on a stand-alone basis.
The measure of segment performance utilized by our CODM is segment profit. Segment profit excludes general corporate expenses and overheads; intangible amortization expense; interest and other expense, net; restructuring and related costs, including impairment charges; and certain U.S. GAAP items that management does not believe are indicative of ongoing operating performance due to their unusual or non-recurring nature and which may have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on the Company’s financial results in any particular period. The exclusion of such charges from segment results reflects how the CODM monitors and evaluates segment operating performance, generates future operating plans and makes strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital.
The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies disclosed in the 2025 Annual Report Form 10-K. Accounting policies have been applied consistently by all segments within the Company for all reporting periods.
Our CODM is not regularly provided and does not use assets by segment to evaluate performance or allocate resources. Therefore, we do not disclose assets by segment.
The primary source of income for each segment is as described below:
•Wet Shave products include razor handles and refillable blades, disposable shave products, and shaving gels and creams.
•Sun and Skin Care consists of sun care products, men’s and women’s grooming products, Billie women’s grooming products and personal wipe products.
See Note 1 and Note 2 for additional information on the divestiture of Feminine Care, a previously reportable segment.

Note 18 - Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to a number of legal proceedings in various jurisdictions arising out of its operations during the ordinary course of business. Many of these legal matters are in preliminary stages and involve complex issues of law and fact and may proceed for protracted periods of time. The amount of liability, if any, from these proceedings cannot be determined with certainty. The Company reviews its legal proceedings and claims, regulatory reviews and inspections and other legal proceedings on an ongoing basis and follows appropriate accounting guidance when making accrual and disclosure decisions. The Company establishes accruals for those contingencies when the incurrence of a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated and discloses the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued if such disclosure is necessary for its financial statements to not be misleading. The Company does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable, but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated. Based upon present information, the Company believes that its liability, if any, arising from such pending legal proceedings, asserted legal claims, and known potential legal claims which are likely to be asserted, is not reasonably likely to be material to its financial position, results of operations or cash flows, when taking into account established accruals for estimated liabilities. In the three and six months ended, March 31, 2026, we recorded a $4.7 charge related to an offer to settle certain claims and disputes in connection with a former contract manufacturing agreement.
Other Matters
On February 20, 2026 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that certain tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) by the executive branch are not lawful, but did not provide guidance on how importers may claim refunds of IEEPA tariffs previously paid. On March 4, 2026, the Court of International Trade (CIT) issued an additional ruling that importers that paid tariffs under IEEPA are due refunds and ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to begin the refund process for all importers who were subject to IEEPA duties.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company has not recognized an asset related to the potential refund of IEEPA tariffs paid. The ultimate availability, timing and amount of any potential refunds of such tariffs is highly uncertain and are subject to further legal, regulatory and administrative developments. The Company will continue to evaluate new information and will recognize the refund when the requirements under ASC 450, Contingencies, have been met.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
(Amounts in millions, except per share data, unaudited)
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 18, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”). The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs and involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed within “Forward-Looking Statements” below and in Item 1A. Risk Factors and “Forward-Looking Statements” included within our 2025 Annual Report.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
While we report financial results in accordance with GAAP, 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 are included within this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
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. We use this non-GAAP information, including adjusted gross margin, adjusted selling general and administrative (“SG&A”), adjusted operating income, adjusted EBIT (as defined below), adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted net earnings, and adjusted diluted net earnings, internally to make operating decisions and believe it is helpful to investors because it allows more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of ongoing operating results. We view the use of non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of these unique events as particularly valuable in understanding our underlying operational results and providing insights into future performance. The information can also be used to perform trend 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 also a component in determining management’s incentive compensation. Finally, we believe this information provides more transparency.
The following provides additional detail on our non-GAAP measures for the periods presented:
•We analyze 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 translation.
•Segment profit is impacted by fluctuations in translation and transactional foreign currency. The impact of currency was applied to segments using management’s best estimate.
All comparisons are with the same period in the prior year, unless otherwise noted.
Industry and Market Data
Unless we indicate otherwise, we base the information contained or incorporated by reference herein, concerning our industry on our general knowledge and expectations. Our market position, market share, and industry market size are estimates based on internal and external data from various industry analyses, our internal research and adjustments, and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. We have not independently verified data from industry analyses and cannot guarantee its accuracy or completeness. In addition, we believe that industry, market size, market position and market share data within our industry provides general guidance but is inherently imprecise and has not been verified by any independent source. Further, our estimates and assumptions involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in Part I of our 2025 Annual Report. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates and assumptions. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this data.
Retail sales for purposes of market size, market position and market share information are based on retail sales in U.S. dollars.
Trademarks and Trade Names
We own or have rights to use trademarks and trade names that we use in conjunction with the operation of our business, which appear throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We may also refer to brand names, trademarks, service marks and trade names of other companies and organizations, which are the property of their respective owners.
28
Recent Developments
On February 20, 2026 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that certain tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) by the executive branch were unlawful. As a result of this ruling, we may be eligible for a refund of IEEPA tariffs previously paid on imported goods.
The Company is evaluating the applicability of the court decisions and subsequent administrative process to its import entries, including the effect of procedural requirements under U.S. customs laws (including liquidation finality and the timing of administrative protests) and the scope and timing of the emerging administrative refund process. However, the ultimate availability, timing, and amount of any potential refunds of such tariffs remain highly uncertain and are subject to further legal, regulatory, and administrative developments. We will continue to monitor changes to the import and export policies of the U.S. and other countries that could impact our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Executive Summary
Feminine Care Divestiture
On February 2, 2026, we closed the transaction and received proceeds of approximately $340 on a cash-free and debt-free basis. In connection with closing of the transaction, we and Essity entered into a transition services agreement for the provision of certain services to support the transition of the Feminine Care segment following the closing. The divestiture of the Feminine Care segment is a key step to transform Edgewell into a more focused, agile and consumer-driven personal care company. The former Feminine Care segment’s results are presented as discontinued operations on a retrospective basis for the three and six months period ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
All amounts, percentages and disclosures for all periods presented reflect only the continuing operations of Edgewell unless otherwise noted.
Second Quarter of Fiscal 2026
The following is a summary of results from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2025. In addition to net sales, net income from continuing operations and earnings per share (“EPS”) from continuing operations for the periods presented were also impacted by certain costs or income, as described in the table below. The impact of these items on reported net income from continuing operations and EPS from continuing operations are provided as a reconciliation of net income from continuing operations and EPS from continuing operations to adjusted net income from continuing operations and adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations, both of which are non-GAAP measures.
•Net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 increased $2.9, or 0.6%, to $519.5, as compared to the prior year quarter. Organic net sales decreased $12.6, or 2.4%. Organic growth in International markets was 1.0%, largely driven by volume growth in Wet Shave and favorable pricing in Wet Shave and Sun Care. Organic sales declined in North America by 4.8%, driven primarily by lower volumes in Wet Shave and Sun Care, partially offset by volume growth in Grooming.
•Net earnings from continuing operations in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 were $4.0, as compared to $20.8 in the prior year quarter. On an adjusted basis, net earnings from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 were $27.8, as compared to $32.9 in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net earnings decreased primarily due to lower gross profit and higher operating expenses, partially offset by higher sales and lower interest expense.
•Diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations during the second quarter of fiscal 2026 were $0.09, as compared to $0.43 in the prior year quarter. On an adjusted basis, diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations during the second quarter of fiscal 2026 were $0.60, as compared to $0.69 in the prior year quarter.

•Net (loss) earnings from continuing operations in the first six months of fiscal 2026 were $(25.2), as compared to $10.7 in the prior year period. On an adjusted basis, net earnings from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 were $20.2, as compared to $28.2 in the prior year period.

As a result of these actions, we expect to incur pre-tax charges of approximately $90 in fiscal 2026. We incurred $14.0 and $11.8 of restructuring and related charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $32.1 and $15.9 during the first six months of fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Our operating model includes some shared business functions across segments, including product warehousing and distribution, transaction processing functions and, in most cases, a combined sales force and management teams. We apply a fully allocated cost basis in which shared business functions are allocated between segments. Certain indirect expenses for corporate overhead costs previously allocated to the Fem Care segment have not been reallocated to the Wet Shave or Sun and Skin Care segments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2026, a significant portion of our cash balances was located outside the U.S. Given our extensive international operations, a significant portion of our cash is denominated in foreign currencies. Refer to Note 16 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the primary currencies to which the Company is exposed. We manage our worldwide cash requirements by reviewing available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. We generally repatriate a portion of current year earnings from select non-U.S. subsidiaries only if the economic cost of the repatriation is not considered material.
Our cash is deposited with multiple counterparties which consist of major financial institutions. We consistently monitor positions with, and credit ratings of, counterparties both internally and by using outside ratings agencies.
Our total borrowings as of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025 were as follows:
| Interest Type | Currency | March 31, 2026 | September 30, 2025 | |||||||||||||||||

As noted above, on February 2, 2026, we closed on the sale of our Feminine Care segment to Essity. We used proceeds from this sale to repay all outstanding borrowings under our U.S. Revolving Credit Facility. The remaining proceeds are expected to be used for continued investment in our core brands, capital expenditures and other growth initiatives. We estimate approximately $55 of cash taxes to be paid in fiscal 2026 on the tax gain from the sale.
Historically, we have generated, and expect to continue to generate, favorable cash flows from operations. Our cash flows are affected by the seasonality of our Sun Care businesses, typically resulting in higher net sales and increased cash generated in the second and third quarters of each fiscal year. We believe our cash on hand, including remaining proceeds from the sale of our Feminine Care segment, cash flows from operations and borrowing capacity under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to satisfy our future working capital requirements, interest payments, R&D activities, capital expenditures, and other capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. We will continue to monitor our cash flows, spending and liquidity needs. For more information on the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility and our other debt, see Note 11 to the Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2025 Annual Report.
Short-term financing needs primarily consist of working capital requirements and interest payments on our long-term debt. Long-term financing needs will depend largely on potential growth opportunities, including acquisition activity and repayment or refinancing of our long-term debt obligations. Our long-term liquidity may be influenced by our ability to borrow additional funds, renegotiate existing debt, and raise equity under terms that are favorable to us. We may, from time-to-time, seek to repurchase shares of our common stock. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.
As of March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with the provisions and covenants associated with our debt agreements.

Operating Activities
Cash flow used for operating activities was $71.6 during the first six months of fiscal 2026, compared to $70.5 during the prior year period. The increase in cash used for operating activities was largely driven by lower earnings, partially offset by changes in net working capital.
Investing Activities
Net cash proceeds provided by investing activities was $315.1 during the first six months of fiscal 2026, compared to net cash used of $33.0 during the prior year period. The increase in cash provided by investing activities was primarily related to proceeds received from the sale of our Feminine Care segment of $338.9 and a decrease in capital expenditures, which were $25.6 during the first six months of fiscal 2026, compared to $33.9 in the prior year period.
Financing Activities
Net cash used by financing activities was $167.4 during the first six months of fiscal 2026, compared to $72.5 cash provided by financing activities in the prior year period.

We had $15.8 share repurchases in the first six months of fiscal 2026, compared to $65.7 in the prior year period.
Share Repurchases
On November 13, 2025, the Board approved an authorization to repurchase for up to $100.0, superseding the previous share repurchase authorization from January 2018, when the Board approved an authorization to repurchase up to 10.0 shares of the Company's common stock. Any future share repurchases, if any, would be made in the open market, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise permitted, and in such amounts and at such times as the Company deems appropriate based upon prevailing market conditions, business needs and other factors. During the first six months of fiscal 2026, we repurchased 0.7 shares at a total cost of 15.8. $84.9 remains available for repurchase in the future under the Board’s authorization. For more information, see Note 14 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Commitments and Contingencies
Contractual Obligations
As of March 31, 2026, we had no outstanding borrowings under our U.S. Revolving Credit Facility, which matures in 2029. As noted above, following the closing of the sale of the Feminine Care segment, we repaid all outstanding borrowings under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2026, future minimum repayments of fixed debt are: $750.0 in fiscal 2028 and $500.0 in fiscal 2029.
There have been no other material changes in our contractual obligations since the presentation in our 2025 Annual Report.
Other Matters
On February 20, 2026 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that certain tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) by the executive branch are not lawful, but did not provide guidance on how importers may claim refunds of IEEPA tariffs previously paid. On March 4, 2026, the Court of International Trade (CIT) issued an additional ruling that importers that paid tariffs under IEEPA are due refunds and ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to begin the refund process for all importers who were subject to IEEPA duties.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company has not recognized an asset related to the potential refund of IEEPA tariffs paid. The ultimate availability, timing and amount of any potential refunds of such tariffs is highly uncertain and are subject to further legal, regulatory and administrative developments. The Company will continue to evaluate new information and will recognize the refund when the requirements under ASC 450, Contingencies, have been met.
In the three and six months ended, March 31, 2026, we recorded a $4.7 charge related to an offer to settle certain claims and disputes in connection with a former contract manufacturing agreement.

The market risk inherent in our financial instruments and positions represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in currency rates, commodity prices, and interest rates. At times, we enter into contractual arrangements (derivatives) to reduce these exposures. For further information on our foreign currency derivative instruments, refer to Note 16 of Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
As of March 31, 2026, there were no open derivative or hedging instruments for future purchases of raw materials or commodities.
Our exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to our variable-rate debt instruments, which currently bear interest based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus margin. As of March 31, 2026, our outstanding variable-rate debt included $308.4 related to our U.S. Revolving Credit Facility and international, variable-rate notes payable. Assuming a one-percent increase in the applicable interest rates, annual interest expense on these variable-rate debt instruments would increase approximately $3.1.
There have been no material changes in our assessment of market risk sensitivity since our presentation of Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in our 2025 Annual Report.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2026. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of that date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Please see Note 18 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding legal proceedings to which we are party.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
For a discussion of potential risks and uncertainties related to us, see the information included in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of our 2025 Annual Report. Except for the risk factor discussed below, we do not believe that there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our 2025 Annual Report.
Changes in production costs, including raw material prices and tariffs, could erode our profit margins and negatively impact operating results.
Pricing and availability of raw materials, energy, shipping, labor and other services needed for our business can be volatile due to general economic conditions, including inflation, supplier capacity restraints, geopolitical developments, including armed conflict and regional instability, changes in supply and demand, natural disasters, energy costs, health epidemics or pandemics, labor shortages and turnover, production levels, currency fluctuations, governmental actions (including import and export requirements such as new or increased tariffs, sanctions, quotas or trade barriers), port congestions or delays, transport capacity restraints, cybersecurity incidents or other disruptions of key manufacturing sites, acts of terrorism and other factors beyond our control. In particular, the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, including disruptions and heightened uncertainty regarding transit through the Strait of Hormuz, has increased energy and transportation costs and caused global supply chain disruptions. There is no certainty that we will be able to offset future cost increases. This volatility can significantly affect our production costs and may, therefore, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
If such cost pressures persist or exceed our estimates and we are not able to increase the prices of our products or achieve cost savings to offset such cost increases, our operating margins would be negatively impacted. In addition, even if we increase the prices of our products in response to increases in the cost of commodities or other cost increases, we may not be able to sustain such price increases. Sustained price increases may lead to declines in volume as competitors may not adjust their prices or customers may reduce consumption due to pay the higher prices, which could lead to sales and market share declines. Our projections may not accurately predict the potential negative volume impact of price increases, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities, Use of Proceeds, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
The following table sets forth the purchases of our Company’s securities by the Company and any affiliated purchasers within the meaning of Rule 10b-18(a)(3) (17 CFR 240.10b-18(a)(3)) during the second quarter of fiscal 2026:
