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, sun and skin care, and feminine 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 three segments:
•Wet Shave consists of products sold under the Schick®, Wilkinson SwordTM, Edge, Skintimate®, Billie®, Shave Guard 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.
•Feminine Care includes tampons, pads and liners sold under the Playtex Gentle Glide® and Sport®, Stayfree®, Carefree®, and o.b.® brands.
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 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 14, 2024, as amended on November 21, 2024.
Certain immaterial prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s presentation.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“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.
8
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. 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-04, "Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations" which requires that a buyer in a supplier finance program disclose additional information about the program for financial statement users including a rollforward of those obligations. The Company adopted the standard as of October 1, 2023, except for amendments relating to the rollforward requirement, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023.
Note 2 - Restructuring and Related Charges
Operating Model Redesign
In fiscal 2025, the Company continues to take actions to strengthen its operating model, simplify the organization’s ways of working and improve manufacturing and supply chain efficiency and productivity. As a result of these actions, the Company expects to incur restructuring and related charges of approximately $17 in fiscal 2025. The Company has incurred restructuring and related charges as follows:

Consolidation of Mexico Facilities
In fiscal 2024, the Company announced certain operational and organizational steps designed to streamline the Company’s operations and supply chain by consolidating its current Mexico operations in Obregon and Mexico City into a single facility in Aguascalientes, Mexico. As a result of these actions, the Company is anticipating incurring restructuring and related charges of $27 in fiscal 2025 and is expected to be completed by the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

Note 3 - Income Taxes
The source of income taxes are below:

| Earnings before income taxes | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||
| Income tax provision | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Effective tax rate | % | % | % | % | |||||||||||||||||||
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 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 three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, 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.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and several new US tax law changes. The legislation has multiple effective dates with certain provisions effective for the Company beginning fiscal 2026. We are currently assessing the impact of these tax law changes on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 4 - Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings per share is based on the number of shares used for the basic 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 earnings per share calculation:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Nine Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Basic weighted-average shares outstanding | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Effect of dilutive securities: | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Options, RSE and PRSE awards | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Total dilutive securities | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding | |||||||||||||||||||||||
The following weighted-average common shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net earnings per share because the effect of including these awards was antidilutive.
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Nine Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | ||||||||||||||||||||

Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life are not amortized but are instead reviewed annually for impairment or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. The Company’s annual impairment testing date is July 1. An interim impairment analysis may indicate that carrying amounts of goodwill and other intangible assets require adjustment or that remaining useful lives should be revised. The Company continuously monitors events which could trigger an interim impairment analysis, such as changing business conditions, our financial performance and our market capitalization.
During the third quarter of 2025, we identified a triggering event for our Feminine Care reporting unit which required us to complete an interim impairment analysis because of the business’s financial performance. The interim impairment review was also performed on the indefinite-lived trade names for Carefree/Stayfree/o.b.. As a result of the interim impairment analysis for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, no impairment charge was recorded for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 as the fair values exceeded carrying value.

Note 9 - 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 11 - Retirement Plans
The Company has several defined benefit pension plans covering employees in the U.S. and certain employees in other countries. The plans provide retirement benefits based on years of service and compensation. The Company also sponsors or participates in several other non-U.S. pension and postretirement arrangements, including various retirement and termination benefit plans, some of which are required by local law or coordinated with government-sponsored plans, which are not significant in the aggregate and, therefore, are not included in the information presented below.

Note 14 - 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 June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, 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 June 30, 2025, the Company had $130.0 of variable rate debt outstanding, which consisted primarily of outstanding borrowings under its U.S. Revolving Credit Facility.
Cash Flow Hedges
As of June 30, 2025, 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 losses of $4.5 and $2.4 as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, 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 June 30, 2025 levels over the next 12 months, the majority of the pre-tax losses included in AOCI in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2025 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 June 30, 2025, there were 64 open foreign currency contracts with a total notional value of $125.5 .
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 nine months ended June 30, 2025, resulted in a loss of $0.3 and a gain of $0.3 , respectively, compared to a gain of $0.7 and $1.3 , respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, and was recorded in Other (income) expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. As of June 30, 2025, there was one open foreign currency derivative contract not designated as a cash flow hedge with a total notional value of $9.0 .

(1)All derivative assets are presented in Other current assets or Other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(2)All derivative liabilities are presented in Other current liabilities or Other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
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.
20
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:
| June 30, 2025 | September 30, 2024 | ||||||||||
| Assets (Liabilities) at estimated fair value: | |||||||||||
| Deferred compensation liability | $ | ( | $ | ( | |||||||
| Derivatives - foreign currency contracts liability | ( | ( | |||||||||
| Net assets (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 June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, 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 June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, 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 June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the fair market value of fixed rate long-term debt was $1,195.1 and $1,180.0 , respectively, compared to its carrying value of $1,250.0
Note 15 - Segment Data
For an overview of the Company’s segments, refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Segment performance is evaluated based on segment profit, excluding 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. Financial items, such as interest income and expense, are managed on a global basis at the corporate level and therefore are excluded from segment profit. The exclusion of such charges from segment results reflects management’s view on how management monitors and evaluates segment operating performance, generates future operating plans and makes strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital.
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, combined sales force and management teams. The Company applies a fully allocated cost basis in which shared business functions are allocated between the segments.

Note 16 - 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.

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 14, 2024, as amended on November 21, 2024 (the “2024 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 2024 Annual Report or in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2025.
Forward-Looking Statements
This document contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of Edgewell Personal Care Company or any of our businesses (the “Company”). Forward-looking statements may appear throughout this report, including, without limitation, the following sections: Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Risk Factors, and the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of words or phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “expectation,” “anticipate,” “may,” “could,” “intend,” “estimate,” “plan,” “target,” “predict,” “likely,” “will,” “should,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “strategy,” or other similar words or phrases. These statements are not based on historical facts, but instead reflect our expectations, estimates or projections concerning future results or events, including, without limitation, the future earnings and performance of the Company or any of our 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 our actual results to differ materially from those indicated by those statements. We cannot assure you that any of our expectations, estimates or projections will be achieved. The forward-looking statements included in this report are only made as of the date of this report, and we disclaim 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 us or that we presently consider immaterial could significantly affect the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements should be evaluated with the understanding of their inherent uncertainty. Risks and uncertainties include those detailed from time to time in our publicly filed documents, including in Item 1A. Risk Factors of Part I of our 2024 Annual Report or in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2025.
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 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. Given certain significant events, we view the use of non-GAAP measures that take into account 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 will be impacted by fluctuations in translation and transactional foreign currency. The impact of currency was applied to segments using management’s best estimate.
24
•Additionally, we utilize “adjusted” non-GAAP measures, including adjusted gross margin, adjusted selling general and administrative (“SG&A”), adjusted operating income, adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted net earnings, and adjusted diluted net earnings per share internally to make operating decisions.
All comparisons are with the same period in the prior year, unless otherwise noted.

Executive Summary
The following is a summary of key results for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2025, as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2024. In addition to net sales, net earnings and earnings per share (“EPS”) 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 earnings and EPS are provided as a reconciliation of net earnings and EPS to adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted EPS, both of which are non-GAAP measures.
Third Quarter of Fiscal 2025

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2025, 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 14 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 June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 were as follows:
| Interest Type | Currency | June 30, 2025 | September 30, 2024 | |||||||||||||||||
| Long-term notes | fixed | USD | $ | 1,250.0 | $ | 1,250.0 | ||||||||||||||

| Short-term notes payable | variable | various | 23.2 | 24.5 | ||||||||||||||||
| Total borrowings | $ | 1,403.2 | $ | 1,308.5 | ||||||||||||||||

| Less: Outstanding letters of credit | 5.1 | 5.3 | |||||||||
| Revolver balance available | $ | 289.9 | $ | 385.7 | |||||||
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, 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 financing 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, see Note 10 to the Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
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 June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with the provisions and covenants associated with our debt agreements.

Cash Flows
A summary of our cash flow activities is provided in the following table:

| Effect of exchange rate changes on cash | 2.4 | (1.4) | |||||||||
| Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents | $ | (9.5) | $ | (20.3) | |||||||
Operating Activities
Cash flow provided by operating activities was $44.3 during the first nine months of fiscal 2025, compared to $157.3 during the prior year period. The increase in cash used for operating activities was largely driven by changes in net working capital and lower earnings.
Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities was $45.3 during the first nine months of fiscal 2025, compared to $36.9 during the prior year period. The increase in cash used was primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures, which were $49.4 during the first nine months of fiscal 2025, compared to $30.6 in the prior year period.
Financing Activities
Net cash used for financing activities was $10.9 during the first nine months of fiscal 2025, compared to $139.3 in the prior year period. During the first nine months of fiscal 2025, we had net borrowings of $96.0 under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility, compared to repayments of $72.0 in the prior year period. Dividend payments totaled $22.4 in the first nine months of fiscal 2025, compared to $23.3 in the prior year period. We had share repurchases of $90.2 in the first nine months of fiscal 2025, compared to $40.2 in the prior year period.
Share Repurchases
During the first nine months of fiscal 2025, we repurchased 2.8 shares of our common stock for $90.2. We have 0.2 shares remaining under the 2018 Share Repurchase Plan as of June 30, 2025. 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. For more information, see Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Dividends
Dividend activity for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 was as follows:
| Date Declared | Record Date | Payable Date | Amount Per Share | |||||||||||||||||
| August 6, 2024 | September 4, 2024 | October 3, 2024 | $ | 0.15 | ||||||||||||||||

On August 5, 2025, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per common share for the third fiscal quarter of 2025. The dividend will be payable on October 8, 2025 to shareholders of record as the close of business on September 4, 2025.
Dividends declared during the nine months ended June 30, 2025 totaled $21.7. Payments made for dividends during the nine months ended June 30, 2025 totaled $22.4.
Commitments and Contingencies
Contractual Obligations
As of June 30, 2025, we had outstanding borrowings of $130.0 under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility, which matures in 2029. As of June 30, 2025, 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 2024 Annual Report.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Information regarding new accounting pronouncements is included in Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our critical accounting estimates are fully described in our 2024 Annual Report. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions can be subjective and complex, and consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates since September 30, 2024.
At June 30, 2025, after evaluating business conditions and our financial performance, we concluded that there was a triggering event for our Feminine Care reporting unit requiring an interim impairment analysis. Based on our interim impairment analysis, the fair value exceeded carrying value by less than 10% and no impairment charge was recorded for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025.
The fair value of our reporting units’ goodwill is sensitive to differences between estimated and actual cash flows, including changes in the projected revenue, projected EBITDA margin, discount rate and market multiples used to evaluate the fair value. We will continue to evaluate business conditions, our financial performance and our market capitalization for any material changes through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.
35
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
(Amounts in millions)
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 14 of Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As of June 30, 2025, 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 June 30, 2025, our outstanding variable-rate debt included $154.3 related to the 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 $1.5.
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 2024 Annual Report.
36
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 reports filed 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 June 30, 2025. 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 June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
37
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
While we attempt to identify, manage and mitigate risks and uncertainties associated with our business to the extent practical under the circumstances, some level of risk and uncertainty will always be present. Item 1A. Risk Factors of our 2024 Annual Report describes some of the risks and uncertainties associated with our business. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to materially affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, projected results and future prospects.
