NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(In millions, except per share data)

Basis of Presentation

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (the “Company”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. Results of operations for interim periods may not be representative of results to be expected for the full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Form 10-K”).

The Company incurred research and development expenses in the first quarter of 2025 and 2024 of $32.8 and $30.1, respectively. These expenses are included in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant expenses. The amendments require public entities to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within segment profit and loss. The standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and was applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company has adopted the standard which resulted in additional disclosures. Refer to Note 18.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure which includes amendments that further expand income tax disclosures, by requiring the disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation table, and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and are to be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on the Company’s related disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date ("ASU 2025-01"). The ASU requires a public business entity to provide disaggregated disclosures of certain categories of expenses on an annual and interim basis including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization for each income statement line item that contains those expenses. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with prospective or retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on the Company’s related disclosures.

There have been no other accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted by the Company which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS is calculated based on income available to holders of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted EPS includes additional dilution from potential Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Company's stock-based compensation plans.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding to the weighted average number of shares outstanding on a diluted basis:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,		March 31,
	2025		2024
Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic		245.8		243.4
Dilutive effect of stock options and other unvested stock-based awards		2.2		2.7
Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted		248.0		246.1
Antidilutive stock options outstanding		2.1		1.1

Stock Based Compensation Plans

The Company's Long-Term Incentive Program (“LTIP”) provides employees with an award of stock options and initial grants of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and grants of performance share units ("PSUs") to members of the Company's Executive Leadership Team ("ELT"). Awards are granted in the first quarter of each year. The Company recognizes the grant-date fair value for each of these awards, less estimated forfeitures, as compensation expense ratably over the vesting period. For employees and directors that meet retirement eligibility requirements, the expense related to share-based compensation is recognized on the date of grant as there is no future service period required for the awards to vest.

Stock Options

The following table provides a summary of option activity:


						Weighted
						Average

Restricted Stock Units

The Company granted employees 95,160 RSUs with a total fair value of $10.5 at a weighted average grant date fair value of $110.86 per RSU during the first quarter of 2025 and granted employees 76,090 RSUs with a total fair value of $7.6 at a weighted average grant date fair value of $100.28 per RSU during the first quarter of 2024. The annual RSU grants vest one-third on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date, subject to the recipient’s continued employment with the Company from the grant date through the applicable vesting date, and are settled with shares of the Company’s Common Stock within 60 days following the applicable vesting date.

Additionally, in connection with the Hero Acquisition (see Note 10), 854,882 shares of restricted stock were issued to certain individuals in October 2022 with a total fair value of $61.5. This restricted stock is recognized as compensation expense ratably over the vesting period if those individuals continue to be employed by the Company. The vesting requirements are satisfied at various dates over a three-year period from the date of the acquisition, including 427,438 shares which vested as of December 31, 2024, 213,719 shares which vested in April of 2025 and the final 213,725 shares vesting in October of 2025. The restricted stock expense

associated with the Hero Acquisition for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $2.8 and $7.3, respectively, and is included in the non-cash compensation expense caption in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Performance Stock Units

In the first quarter of each of 2025 and 2024, the Company granted PSUs to members of the Executive Leadership Team including the CEO, with an aggregate award of 18,140 and 19,960 PSUs, respectively. The PSUs were valued at a weighted average grant date fair value equal to $136.76 in 2025 and $122.24 in 2024 using a Monte Carlo model. The performance target is based on the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to a Company selected peer group. The PSUs vest on the later of (i) the third anniversary of the grant date, and (ii) the date that the Board's Compensation & Human Capital Committee certifies the achievement of the applicable performance goals, in each case, subject to the recipient’s continued employment with the Company from the grant date through the vesting date. The number of shares that may be issued ranges from 0% to 200% based on relative TSR during the three-year performance period.

Discounted Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company’s discounted Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) was adopted in February 2023 by the Company’s Board of Directors and became effective in April 2023 upon approval by the Company’s stockholders. There are 750,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP. The ESPP, which is intended to be an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code, permits eligible employees to purchase Common Stock through after-tax payroll deductions. Currently, the purchase price under the ESPP is 85% of the fair market value of our Common Stock on the last trading day of the applicable quarterly purchase period. The maximum value of Common Stock that an eligible employee may purchase each calendar year is the lesser of 10% of an eligible employee’s annual pay and $25,000. There are four purchase periods in each calendar year under the ESPP, which begin on the first business day of each calendar quarter and end on the last business day of each calendar quarter. The first purchase period commenced in January 2025.

Share Repurchases

On October 28, 2021, the Board authorized the Company's share repurchase program, under which the Company may repurchase up to $1,000.0 in shares of Common Stock (the “2021 Share Repurchase Program”). The 2021 Share Repurchase Program does not have an expiration and replaced the 2017 Share Repurchase Program. The 2021 Share Repurchase Program did not modify the Company’s evergreen share repurchase program, authorized by the Board on January 29, 2014, under which the Company may repurchase, from time to time, Common Stock to reduce or eliminate dilution associated with issuances of Common Stock under its incentive plans.

As of March 31, 2025, there remains $658.9 of share repurchase availability under the 2021 Share Repurchase Program.

The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s other financial instruments at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

The carrying amounts of Accounts Receivable, and Accounts Payable and Accrued and Other liabilities approximated estimated fair values as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Derivative Instruments and Risk Management

Changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, the price of the Company's Common Stock and commodity prices expose the Company to market risk. The Company manages these risks by the use of derivative instruments, such as cash flow and fair value hedges, diesel and commodity hedge contracts, equity derivatives and foreign exchange forward contracts. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Refer to Note 3 in the Form 10-K for a discussion of each of the Company’s derivative instruments in effect as of December 31, 2024.

The notional amount of a derivative instrument is the nominal or face amount used to calculate payments made on that instrument. Notional amounts are presented in the following table:


	Notional		Notional
	Amount		Amount
	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments
Foreign exchange contracts	$	391.0	$	317.0
Diesel fuel contracts	3.6 gallons		0.8 gallons
Commodities contracts	1.8 pounds		0.0 pounds
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments
Foreign exchange contracts	$	0.3	$	0.0
Equity derivatives	$	23.5	$	24.6

The fair values and amount of gain (loss) recognized in income and Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”) associated with the derivative instruments disclosed above did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Acquisitions

On June 3, 2024, the Company acquired substantially all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Graphico, Inc. ("Graphico"), a Japan-based distributor focused on consumer goods primarily in the Japanese market (the “Graphico Acquisition”). The Company paid $19.9, net of cash acquired, at closing. The Company acquired the remaining minority shares for approximately $2.0 in July 2024. Graphico’s annual net sales for the year ended December 31, 2023 were approximately $38.0. The Graphico Acquisition was financed with cash on hand, is expected to contribute to greater expansion of our business in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, and is managed in the Consumer International segment.

The preliminary fair values of the net assets at acquisition are set forth as follows:


Accounts receivable	$	3.5
Inventory		11.3
Other current assets		1.5
Other long-term assets		5.8
Customer relationship intangible asset		8.4
Goodwill		2.8
Accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities		(6.9	)
Long-term debt		(4.4	)
Deferred income taxes		(2.1	)
Cash purchase price (net of cash acquired)	$	19.9

The customer relationship intangible asset was valued using a discounted cash flow model and has a useful life of 15 years. The goodwill is a result of expected synergies from combined operations of the acquired business and the Company. Pro forma results are not presented because the impact of the acquisition is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial results. The goodwill and other intangible assets associated with the Graphico Acquisition are not deductible for U.S. tax purposes.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles, Net

The Company has intangible assets of substantial value on its consolidated balance sheet. These intangible assets are generally related to intangible assets with a useful life, indefinite-lived trade names and goodwill. The Company determines whether an intangible asset (other than goodwill) has a useful life based on multiple factors, including how long the Company intends to generate cash flows from the asset. These intangible assets are more fully explained in the following sections.

Intangible Assets With a Useful Life

The following table provides information related to the carrying value of intangible assets with a useful life:


	March 31, 2025								December 31, 2024
	Gross							Amortization	Gross
	Carrying		Accumulated					Period	Carrying		Accumulated
	Amount		Amortization			Net		(Years)	Amount		Amortization			Impairments(1)			Net
Amortizable intangible assets:
Trade Names	$	1,383.9	$	(499.4	)	$	884.5	3-20	$	1,383.4	$	(479.6	)	$	0.0		$	903.8
Customer Relationships		566.1		(345.7	)		220.4	15-20		644.9		(402.1	)		(15.8	)		227.0
Patents/Formulas		205.6		(130.2	)		75.4	4-20		205.5		(127.2	)		0.0			78.3
Total	$	2,155.6	$	(975.3	)	$	1,180.3		$	2,233.8	$	(1,008.9	)	$	(15.8	)	$	1,209.1

(1) The $15.8 impairment charge relates to the VMS customer relationship intangible asset, which had a gross value of $79.2 and accumulated amortization of $63.4 prior to full impairment.

Intangible amortization expense was $29.3 and $30.8 for the first quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company estimates that intangible amortization expense will be approximately $116.0 in 2025 and approximately $97.0 declining to $84.0 annually over the next five years.

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

The following table presents the carrying value of indefinite lived intangible assets:


	March 31,		December 31,
	2025		2024
Gross Carrying Value Trade Names	$	1,679.7	$	1,960.7
VMS impairment		0.0		281.3
Net Carrying Value Trade Names	$	1,679.7	$	1,679.4

The Company’s indefinite lived intangible impairment review is completed in the fourth quarter of each year.

Fair value of indefinite-lived trade names was estimated based on a “relief from royalty” or “excess earnings” discounted cash flow method, which contains numerous variables that are subject to change as business conditions change, and therefore could impact fair values in the future. The key assumptions used in determining fair value are sales growth, profitability margins, tax rates, discount rates and royalty rates. The Company determined that the fair value of all indefinite-lived trade names for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2024 exceeded their respective carrying values based upon the forecasted cash flows and profitability, with the exception of the Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements ("VMS") business described below.

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company continued to experience a decline in market share and a deterioration in the financial performance of its VMS business, which includes the VITAFUSION® and L'IL CRITTERS® trade name, primarily due to significant product competition coming from new category entrants, including private label. The continued decline in profitability caused management to reassess its long-term strategy and financial outlook of the business. The revised financial outlook reflects lower estimates of future sales growth and cash flows which resulted in a triggering event in the third quarter. The triggering event required the Company to review the carrying value of assets supporting the business. The assets supporting the VMS business include the VITAFUSION® and L'IL CRITTERS® indefinite-lived trade name, a definite-lived customer relationship intangible asset and PP&E specific to the VMS business.

The Company used an excess earnings discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of the trade name. The assumptions used in the model require significant judgment in determining the expected future cash flows. The key assumptions utilized in the Company's impairment analysis included, but were not limited to, net sales growth rates between -15.2% and 2.1%, EBITA margins in the low single digits, and a discount rate of 8.25%. Estimates are based on market conditions and management’s current expectation of the success of growth and profitability initiatives. The valuation resulted in a full impairment of the $281.3 trade name. Accordingly, the remaining carry value of the trade name at December 31, 2024 is $0.0.

The Company also evaluated its ability to recover the carrying value of long-lived assets supporting the VMS business by comparing the carrying amount of those assets to the future undiscounted cash flows over the estimated life of the identified primary asset. The result of this evaluation was that the cash flows would not be sufficient to recover the carrying value of the assets requiring the Company to compare the carrying value of those assets to their fair value. The Company used an excess earnings discounted cash flow model to determine the estimated fair value of the long-lived assets. The key assumptions utilized in the Company's impairment analysis were the same as those used to estimate the fair value of the trade name. The valuation resulted in a fair value of the long-lived assets that is below their carry value requiring a pre-tax impairment charge of $75.8. The impairment charge was allocated $60.0 to the PP&E of the VMS business and $15.8 to the remaining customer relationship intangible asset. The remaining carrying values of the PP&E and the customer relationship intangible asset specific to the VMS business at March 31, 2025 are $144.6 and $0.0, respectively.

A summary of the VMS intangible and fixed asset impairment charges recorded in the third quarter of 2024 are as follows:


	December 31,
	2024
Trade Name	$	281.3
Customer Relationship Intangible Asset		15.8
PP&E		60.0
Total VMS impairment charges	$	357.1

The Company’s global WATERPIK® business has continued to experience a significant decline in customer demand for many of its products, primarily due to lower consumer spending for discretionary products from inflation and a growing number of water flosser consumers switching to more value-branded products. As a result, the WATERPIK® business has experienced declining sales and profits resulting in a reduction in expected future cash flows which have eroded a substantial portion of the excess between the fair and carrying value of the trade name. This indefinite-lived intangible asset may be susceptible to impairment and a continued decline in fair value could trigger a future impairment charge of the WATERPIK® trade name. The carrying value of the WATERPIK® trade name was $644.7 and fair value represented 135% of the carrying value as of October 1, 2024 (the date of the Company's last annual impairment test). The key assumptions used in the projections from the Company’s October 1, 2024 impairment analysis include a discount rate of 8.1%, revenue growth rates between 2% and 7% and EBITA margins between 25% and 29%. These assumptions were based on current market conditions as of the date of the impairment analysis, recent trends and management’s expectation of the success of initiatives to lower costs and to develop lower-cost water flosser alternatives. While management has implemented strategies to address the risk, significant changes in operating plans, adverse changes in the global macro-economic environment or in global government policy decisions (including tariffs) could reduce the underlying cash flows used to estimate fair value which may result in an impairment.

Goodwill

The carrying amount of goodwill is as follows:


	Consumer		Consumer		Specialty
	Domestic		International		Products		Total
Balance at December 31, 2024	$	2,061.1	$	237.2	$	134.9	$	2,433.2
Balance at March 31, 2025	$	2,061.1	$	237.2	$	134.9	$	2,433.2

The Company tests goodwill for each reporting unit which are also the Company's reportable segments. The result of the Company’s annual goodwill impairment test, performed in the beginning of the second quarter of 2024, determined that the estimated fair value substantially exceeded the carrying values of all reporting units. The determination of fair value contains numerous variables that are subject to change as business conditions change and therefore could impact fair value in the future.

12.

Leases

The Company leases certain manufacturing facilities, warehouses, office space, railcars and equipment. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. All recorded leases are classified as operating leases and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases beginning in 2019, lease components (base rental costs) are accounted for separately from the nonlease components (e.g., common-area maintenance costs). For leases that do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its estimated secured incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

A summary of the Company’s lease information is as follows:


		March 31,			December 31,
	Classification	2025			2024

Lease expense is included in cost of sales or SG&A expenses based on the nature of the leased item. Short-term lease expense is excluded from this amount and is not material. The Company also has certain variable leases which are not material. The non-cash component of lease expense for the first three months of 2025 and 2024 was $8.1 and $7.5, respectively, and is included in the Amortization caption in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

(2)

In January 2024, the Company expanded space at one of its leased manufacturing facilities. This resulted in an increase to the Company’s right of use assets and corresponding lease liabilities of approximately $15.4 recorded in the first quarter of 2024.

The Company’s minimum annual rentals including reasonably assured renewal options under lease agreements are as follows:


	Operating

Total	$	1,161.2	$	1,310.6

In 2015, the Company initiated a Supply Chain Finance program (“SCF Program”). Under the SCF Program, qualifying suppliers may elect to sell their receivables from the Company for early payment. Participating suppliers negotiate their receivables sales arrangements directly with a third party. The Company is not party to those agreements and do not have an economic interest in the suppliers' decisions to sell their receivables and has not been required to pledge any assets as security nor to provide any guarantee to third-party finance providers or intermediaries. The SCF Program may allow suppliers more favorable terms than they could secure on their own. The terms of the Company's payment obligations are not impacted by a supplier’s participation in the SCF Program. The Company's payment terms with suppliers are consistent between suppliers that elect to participate in the SCF Program and those that do not participate. As a result, the program does not have an impact to the Company's average days outstanding.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the obligations outstanding related to the SCF program amounted to $102.4 and $98.5, respectively, and were recorded within Accounts Payable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Payments included in operating activities within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows amounted to $106.5 and $99.9 as of March 31, 2025 and 2024 respectively.

16. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees

Commitments

a. The Company has a partnership with a supplier of raw materials that mines and processes sodium-based mineral deposits. The Company purchases the majority of its sodium-based raw material requirements from the partnership. The partnership agreement terminates upon two years’ written notice by either partner. Under the partnership agreement, the Company has an annual commitment to purchase 240,000 tons of sodium-based raw materials at the prevailing market price. The Company is not engaged in any other material transactions with the partnership or the partner supplier.

b. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had commitments of approximately $403.9. These commitments include the purchase of raw materials, packaging supplies and services from its vendors at market prices to enable the Company to respond quickly to changes in customer orders or requirements, as well as costs associated with licensing and promotion agreements.

c. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had various guarantees and letters of credit totaling $7.6.

d. In connection with the December 1, 2020 acquisition of the ZICAM® brand (the “Zicam Acquisition”), the Company deferred an additional cash payment of $20.0 related to certain indemnifications provided by the seller, of which $2.8 was paid in April of 2025. The additional amount, to the extent not used in satisfaction of such indemnity obligations, is payable in the fourth quarter of 2025.

In connection with the December 24, 2021 acquisition of the THERABREATH® brand (the "TheraBreath Acquisition"), the Company deferred payment of a $14.0 portion of the purchase price related to certain indemnity obligations provided by the seller. The deferred amount is payable in installments between two and four years from the closing, with the first installment payment of $2.0 paid in January 2024, an additional $5.9 paid in the first quarter of 2025, and the remaining $6.1, to the extent not used or withheld in satisfaction of such indemnity obligations, to be paid in the fourth quarter of 2025.

In connection with the October 13, 2022 Hero Acquisition, the Company deferred an additional cash payment of $8.0 to satisfy certain indemnification obligations. The additional amount, to the extent not used in satisfaction of such indemnity obligations, is payable five years from the closing.

Legal proceedings

e. In addition, in conjunction with the Company’s acquisition and divestiture activities, the Company entered into select guarantees and indemnifications of performance with respect to the fulfillment of the Company’s commitments under applicable purchase and sale agreements. The arrangements generally indemnify the buyer or seller for damages associated with breach of contract, inaccuracies in representations and warranties surviving the closing date and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments retained under the applicable contract. Representations and warranties that survive the closing date generally survive for periods up to five years or the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations. Potential losses under the indemnifications are generally limited to a portion of the original transaction price, or to other lesser specific dollar amounts for select provisions. With respect to sale transactions, the Company also routinely enters into non-competition agreements for varying periods of time. Guarantees and indemnifications with respect to acquisition and divestiture activities, if triggered, could have a materially adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

f. In addition to the matters described above, from time to time in the ordinary course of its business the Company is the subject of, or party to, various pending or threatened legal, regulatory or governmental actions or other proceedings, including, without limitation, those relating to, intellectual property, commercial transactions, product liability, purported consumer class actions, employment matters, antitrust, environmental, health, safety and other compliance related matters. Such proceedings are generally subject to considerable uncertainty and their outcomes, and any related damages, may not be reasonably predictable or estimable. Any such proceedings could result in a material adverse outcome negatively impacting the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The following discussion of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on February 13, 2025, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

We develop, manufacture and market a broad range of consumer household and personal care products and specialty products focused on animal and food production, chemicals and cleaners. Our well-recognized brands include ARM & HAMMER® baking soda, cat litter, laundry detergent, carpet deodorizer and other baking soda-based products; OXICLEAN® stain removers, cleaning solutions, laundry detergents and bleach alternatives; VITAFUSION® and L’IL CRITTERS® gummy dietary supplements for adults and children, respectively; BATISTE® dry shampoo; WATERPIK® water flossers; THERABREATH® oral care products; HERO® acne treatment products; TROJAN condoms, lubricants and vibrators; FIRST RESPONSE home pregnancy and ovulation test kits; NAIR depilatories; ORAJEL oral analgesic; XTRA laundry detergent; and ZICAM cold shortening and relief products. Seven of those brands are designated as "power brands" because they compete in large categories, and we believe they have the potential for significant global expansion. Those seven brands are ARM & HAMMER®; OXICLEAN®; VITAFUSION® and L’IL CRITTERS®; BATISTE®; WATERPIK®; THERABREATH®; and HERO® and represent approximately 70% of our net sales and profits.

We sell our consumer products under a variety of brands through a broad distribution platform that includes supermarkets, mass merchandisers, wholesale clubs, drugstores, convenience stores, home stores, dollar and other discount stores, pet and other specialty stores and websites and other e-commerce channels, all of which sell our products to consumers. We sell our specialty products to industrial customers, livestock producers and through distributors.

We operate in three principal segments: Consumer Domestic, Consumer International, and our Specialty Products Division (“SPD”).

Recent Developments

Global Economic Conditions and Trade Policies

We are experiencing increased supply chain challenges, commodity cost volatility, and consumer and economic uncertainty primarily due to rapid changes in U.S. trade policies including recent sweeping tariff increases, as well as retaliatory tariffs by foreign countries. This global uncertainty has also resulted in product purchase cancellations and boycotts by customers and consumers globally. Additionally, U.S. consumers are increasingly worried about persistent inflation and looming tariffs, leading them to cut back on discretionary spending. We believe that retailers are lowering their consumer-packaged goods inventories and making targeted decisions to build inventory of certain products in advance of additional tariffs. We will continue to evaluate these evolving developments and have begun to take action to mitigate their impact on our business, including taking strategic actions for certain business lines (see Strategic Business Decisions), shifting production and relocating manufacturing operations, finding alternative sources of supply, most notably ceasing the import of Waterpik flossers from China into the U.S., potential price increases, adjusting inventories, lobbying and seeking exemptions with respect to tariffs. While the tariff situation remains fluid, we are focused on managing through these challenges. From a gross risk perspective, we are currently projecting a twelve-month run-rate gross tariff exposure of approximately $190.0. We expect that the impact of our strategic business decisions and a series of rapid supply chain actions, such as ceasing the import of Waterpik flossers from China into the U.S., will reduce our tariff exposure by approximately 80%. Over the next 12 months, we believe our remaining tariff exposure can be mitigated through additional supply chain efforts and surgical pricing.

Strategic Business Decisions

On May 1, 2025, we announced that we will be taking strategic actions for the Flawless, Spinbrush and Waterpik showerhead businesses, which includes shutting down or selling these businesses. These businesses generate approximately $150.0 of annual Net Sales. We expect to record a charge of $60.0 to $80.0 in the second quarter of 2025 as a direct result of these actions, primarily comprised of non-cash charges related to impairments of intangible and fixed assets, as well as inventory reserves.

Net Sales

Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 were $1,467.1, a decrease of $36.2 or 2.4% as compared to the same period in 2024. The components of the net sales decrease are as follows:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
Net Sales - Consolidated	2025
Product volumes sold(1)		(1.4	%)
Pricing/Product mix(2)		0.2	%
Foreign exchange rate fluctuations		(0.7	%)
Exit of product lines (net of acquisition)(3)		(0.5	%)
Net Sales decrease		(2.4	)%

(1) The volume change reflects decreased product unit sales in the Consumer Domestic segment, partially offset by increased product unit sales in the Consumer International and SPD segments.

(2) Price/mix was favorable in the Consumer Domestic and SPD segments, partially offset by the Consumer International segment.

(3) In the first quarter of 2024, we exited the MEGALAC supplement portion of the SPD Animal Nutrition business. In the second quarter of 2024 we acquired substantially all of Graphico and sold the Passport food safety business.

Gross Profit / Gross Margin

Our gross profit was $659.6 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a $27.4 decrease as compared to the same period in 2024. Gross margin decreased 70 basis points (“bps”) in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, due to higher manufacturing costs including labor and commodities of 230 bps, unfavorable foreign exchange of 20 bps, partially offset by the impact of productivity programs of 160 bps, benefits from the Graphico Acquisition of 10 bps and favorable price/mix/volume of 10 bps.

Operating Expenses

Marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $136.6, a decrease of $15.4 or 10.1% as compared to the same period in 2024. Marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales in the first quarter of 2025 decreased by 80 bps to 9.3% as compared to 10.1% in the same period in 2024 due to 100 bps on lower expense primarily due to marketing program timing.

SG&A expenses were $227.7 in the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of $2.3 or 1.0% as compared to the same period in 2024. SG&A as a percentage of net sales increased 20 bps to 15.5% in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to 15.3% in the same period in 2024. The increase is due to 40 bps from lower sales partially offset by 20 bps on lower expenses. The lower expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 compared to 2024 are primarily due to lower expense on Company issued equity awards.

Nonoperating Expenses

Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $5.9 to $9.3, as compared to the same period in 2024, due to higher interest income primarily associated with higher cash balances.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased $1.7 to $23.3, as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to lower average outstanding debt.

Other income (expense) was nominal for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 22.0%, compared to 19.9% in the same period in 2024. The increase in the tax rate is primarily from a lower tax benefit on reduced stock option exercises in 2025 compared to 2024.

Segment results

We operate three reportable segments: Consumer Domestic, Consumer International and SPD. These segments are determined based on differences in the nature of products and organizational structure. We also have equity in earnings of affiliates which is not reflected in a reportable segment.


Segment			Products / Other
Consumer Domestic			Household and personal care products

Consumer Domestic

Consumer Domestic net sales in the first quarter of 2025 were $1,129.8, a decrease of $35.4 or 3.0% as compared to the same period in 2024. The components of the net sales change are the following:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
Net Sales - Consumer Domestic	2025
Product volumes sold		(3.1	%)
Pricing/Product mix		0.1	%
Net Sales decrease		(3.0	)%

The decrease in net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025, includes declines from VITAFUSION® and L’IL CRITTERS® gummy dietary supplements, OXICLEAN® Stain Fighters and ARM & HAMMER® cat litter, partially offset by growth from THERABREATH® mouth wash and ZICAM® cold shortening and relief products.

Consumer Domestic income from operations for the first quarter of 2025 was $244.8, a decrease of $12.7 as compared to the first quarter of 2024. The decrease is due primarily to higher manufacturing and distribution expenses of $25.4, the impact of lower sales volumes of $22.2, and unfavorable price/mix of $3.4, partially offset by the benefit of productivity programs of $20.6, lower marketing expenses of $14.1, and lower SG&A expenses of $3.6.

Consumer International

Consumer International net sales were $261.9 in the first quarter of 2025, an increase of $6.9 or 2.7% as compared to the same period in 2024. The components of the net sales change are the following:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
Net Sales - Consumer International	2025
Product volumes sold		5.9	%
Pricing/Product mix		(0.1	%)
Foreign exchange rate fluctuations		(4.4	%)
Acquired product lines (1)		1.3	%
Net Sales increase		2.7	%

(1)

The Graphico acquisition is included in our results since June 3, 2024, the date of acquisition.

Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, sales growth is driven by ARM & HAMMER® Liquid Detergent, THERABREATH® mouth wash, NAIR® depilatories, and ARM & HAMMER® dental care in Mexico, HERO® acne treatment products, WATERPIK® Flossers and THERABREATH® mouth wash in Canada, HERO® acne treatment products, BATISTE® Dry Shampoo and ANUSOL in Europe, and HERO® acne treatment products in Australia.

Consumer International income from operations was $37.7 in the first quarter of 2025, an increase of $1.8 as compared to the first quarter of 2024. The increase is due primarily to favorable product mix of $7.5, the impact of higher sales volumes of $7.2, and lower marketing expenses of $1.7, partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange rates of $7.8, higher manufacturing and commodity costs of $3.5, and higher SG&A expenses of $3.2.

Specialty Products (“SPD”)

SPD net sales were $75.4 in the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of $7.7 or 9.3% as compared to the same period in 2024. The components of the net sales change are the following:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
Net Sales - SPD	2025
Product volumes sold		0.3	%
Pricing/Product mix		2.9	%
Foreign exchange rate fluctuations		1.1	%
Exit of product lines (1)		(13.6	%)
Net Sales decrease		(9.3	%)

(1) We exited the MEGALAC supplement portion of the Animal Nutrition business in the first quarter of 2024 and sold the Passport food safety business in the second quarter of 2024.

Net sales excluding product line divestitures increased in the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to growth in our Performance Products and Commercial & Professional businesses.

SPD income from operations was $12.8 in the first quarter of 2025, an increase of $1.2 as compared to the same period in 2024, due to favorable price/product mix of $2.1 and favorable SG&A expenses of $2.1 mainly from divestitures, partially offset by the impact of lower sales volumes of $1.9 and unfavorable manufacturing costs of $1.1.

Equity in Earnings of Affiliates

Equity in earnings of affiliates represents the results of Armand in the first three months of 2025 and 2024 and ArmaKleen in the first three months of 2024. In October 2024, the Company sold its 50% interest in ArmaKleen to our joint venture partner.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On June 16, 2022, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that provides for our $1,500.0 unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) that matures on June 16, 2027, unless extended. We have the ability to increase our borrowing up to an additional $750.0, subject to lender commitments and certain conditions as described in the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are available for general corporate purposes and are used to support our $1,500.0 commercial paper program.

As of March 31, 2025, we had $1,074.5 in cash and cash equivalents, and approximately $1,494.0 available through the Revolving Credit Facility and our commercial paper program. To preserve our liquidity, we invest cash primarily in government money market funds, prime money market funds, short-term commercial paper and short-term bank deposits.

The current economic environment presents risks that could have adverse consequences for our liquidity. See “Our operating results have been, and could be in the future, adversely affected by natural disasters, public health crises, political crises, or other catastrophic events, or unfavorable worldwide, regional and local economic and financial market conditions” under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the Form 10-K. We continue to manage all aspects of our business including, but not limited to, monitoring the financial health of our customers, suppliers and other third-party relationships, implementing gross margin enhancement strategies and developing new opportunities for growth. We do not anticipate that current economic conditions will adversely affect our ability to comply with the financial covenant in the Credit Agreement because we currently are, and anticipate that we will continue to be, in compliance with the maximum leverage ratio requirement under the Credit Agreement.

On October 28, 2021, the Board authorized a share repurchase program, under which we may repurchase up to $1,000.0 in shares of Common Stock (the “2021 Share Repurchase Program”). The 2021 Share Repurchase Program does not have an expiration. We continue to maintain our evergreen share repurchase program, authorized by the Board on January 29, 2014, under which we may repurchase, from time to time, Common Stock to reduce or eliminate dilution associated with issuances of Common Stock under its incentive plans.

We have $658.9 of share repurchase availability under the 2021 Share Repurchase Program as of March 31, 2025.

On January 29, 2025, the Board declared a 4% increase in the regular quarterly dividend from $0.28375 to $0.295 per share, equivalent to an annual dividend of $1.18 per share payable to stockholders of record as of February 14, 2025. The increase raises the annual dividend payout from $277.0 to approximately $287.0 on an annualized basis.

We anticipate that our cash from operations, together with our current borrowing capacity, will be sufficient to fund our share repurchase programs to the extent implemented by management, pay debt and interest as it comes due, pay dividends at the latest approved rate, and meet our capital expenditure program costs, which are expected to be approximately $130.0 in 2025 including manufacturing capacity investments for Therabreath and Sterimar and an enterprise resource planning (ERP) project. Cash, together with our current borrowing capacity, may be used for acquisitions that would complement our existing product lines or geographic markets.

Cash Flow Analysis


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,			March 31,
	2025			2024
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	185.7		$	263.0
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(16.7	)	$	(46.8	)
Net cash used in financing activities	$	(61.0	)	$	(209.1	)

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities – Our primary source of liquidity is the cash flow provided by operating activities, which is dependent on net income and changes in working capital. Our net cash provided by operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by $77.3 to $185.7 as compared to $263.0 in the same period in 2024 due to an increase in working capital and a decrease in cash earnings (net income adjusted for non-cash items). The increase in working capital is primarily related to lower accounts payable and accrued expense balances because of the timing and management strategy related to marketing spend plus higher inventory partially offset by higher cash collections. The higher inventory balance is mainly due to lower sales in our consumer domestic business. We measure working capital effectiveness based on our cash conversion cycle. The following table presents our cash conversion cycle information for the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:


	As of
	March 31, 2025		March 31, 2024		Change
Days of sales outstanding in accounts receivable ("DSO")		37		32		5
Days of inventory outstanding ("DIO")		70		67		3
Days of accounts payable outstanding ("DPO")		79		71		(8	)
Cash conversion cycle		28		28		-

Our cash conversion cycle (defined as the sum of DSO and DIO less DPO) which is calculated using a two-period average method, was the same as the prior year. The increase in DSO is primarily due to higher accounts receivable balances as we reduced our accounts receivable factoring program in response to higher interest rates. Higher DIO is generally the result of lower sales in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in DPO is primarily from agreeing to extended payment terms with some vendors. We continue to focus on reducing our working capital requirements.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities – Net cash used in investing activities during the first three months of 2025 was $16.7, primarily reflecting $16.5 for property, plant and equipment additions. Net cash used in investing activities during the first three months of 2024 was $46.8, primarily reflecting $46.3 for property, plant and equipment additions.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities – Net cash used in financing activities during the first three months of 2025 was $61.0 reflecting $72.4 of cash dividend payments and $5.9 related to the payment of a business acquisition liability, partially offset by $19.3 of proceeds from stock option exercises. Net cash used in financing activities during the first three months of 2024 was $209.1 reflecting $200.0 of net debt payments, $69.0 of cash dividend payments, partially offset by $59.9 of proceeds from stock option exercises.
