Third Quarter 2024 Highlights:

  • Net sales of $1.1 billion declined 3.2% versus the prior year quarter. Organic2 net sales decreased 2.4%, due primarily to -2.8 percentage points from previously disclosed lost distribution of lower margin products in U.S. Store Brand. This expected impact was partially offset by organic growth of +0.4 percentage points across the rest of the business.

  • Consumer Self-Care International ("CSCI") net sales declined 1.0% compared to the prior year quarter due primarily to exited businesses and product lines of -3.2 percentage points. Organic net sales grew +1.0%, led by greater demand for cough cold products within the Upper Respiratory category.

  • Consumer Self-Care Americas ("CSCA") net sales decreased 4.6% compared to the prior year quarter, due primarily to -4.4 percentage points from previously disclosed lost distribution of lower margin products in U.S. Store Brand. Infant formula net sales grew +3% compared to the prior year quarter and +58% growth sequentially compared to the second quarter of 2024.

  • GAAP ("reported") gross margin was 37.2%, an increase of 60 basis points compared to the prior year quarter. Non-GAAP ("adjusted") gross margin expanded 160 basis points to 41.0% primarily driven by infant formula business recovery, benefits from the Company's Supply Chain Reinvention program, and favorable mix within global store brand and across the portfolio.

  • GAAP operating income was $80 million compared to $62 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted operating income of $182 million increased $32 million, or 21.3%, compared to the prior year period due primarily to benefits from the Company's 'Project Energize' program (see Project Energize section below for details).

  • Reported operating margin was 7.4%, a 190 basis points increase compared to the prior year quarter. Adjusted operating margin expanded 340 basis points to 16.8% driven primarily by adjusted gross margin flow-through and benefits from Project Energize.

  • Reported diluted loss per share was $(0.13), compared to reported diluted earnings per share ("EPS") of $0.11 in the prior year quarter.

  • Adjusted diluted EPS was $0.81, compared to $0.64 in the prior year quarter, an increase of $0.17, or 26.6%, per share.

  • Cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet as of September 28, 2024, was $1.5 billion, including proceeds associated with the Company's senior notes offering closed on September 17, 2024. After the quarter ended, $700 million of such proceeds were used to fully redeem the Company's 4.375% Senior Notes Due 2026. The refinancing resulted in lowering the Company's average interest rate after executing derivatives, with no changes to the Company's total long-term debt outstanding or credit ratings.
