TARRYTOWN, N.Y., Nov. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. (NYSE:PBH) today reported financial results for its second quarter and first six months ended September 30, 2025.

“Our second quarter results surpassed our sales and earnings expectations helped primarily by Clear Eyes® supply timing and the timing of certain retailer orders. We remain pleased with the performance of the remainder of our business, where we continue to focus on brand-building behind our diverse portfolio of leading brands and maintaining our leading financial profile. This proven formula continues to generate robust free cash flow, which enabled us to repurchase over one million in shares during the second quarter to further enhance shareholder value,” said Ron Lombardi, Chief Executive Officer of Prestige Consumer Healthcare.

Second Fiscal Quarter Ended September 30, 2025

Reported revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 of $274.1 million decreased 3.4% from $283.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 and decreased 3.3% excluding the impact of foreign currency. The revenue decline versus the prior year comparable period was primarily driven by lower Ear & Eye Care category sales from limited ability to supply demand for Clear Eyes.

Reported net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 totaled $42.2 million and non-GAAP adjusted net income totaled $52.5 million, compared to the prior year second quarter’s net income of $54.4 million. Diluted earnings per share of $0.86 and non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.07 for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $1.09 diluted earnings per share in the prior year comparable period.

The adjustment to the second quarter of fiscal 2026 relates to a discrete tax item pertaining to establishing a taxable presence in a new state.

Six Months Ended September 30, 2025

Reported revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2026 totaled $523.6 million and compared to revenues of $550.9 million for the first six months of fiscal 2025. Revenues decreased 5.0% versus the prior year comparable period and 4.8% excluding the impact of foreign currency. The revenue performance for the first six months reflected the anticipated limited ability to supply strong demand for Clear Eyes as well as the Q1 headwind associated with accelerated order timing in Q4 of the prior year.

Reported net income for the first six months of fiscal 2026 totaled $89.7 million versus the prior year comparable period net income of $103.4 million. Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the first six months of fiscal 2026 totaled $99.9 million versus the prior year comparable period’s adjusted net income of $99.4 million. Diluted earnings per share were $1.81 for the first six months of fiscal 2026 compared to $2.06 per share in the prior year comparable period. Non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share of $2.02 for the first six months of fiscal 2026 increased over the prior year comparable period’s adjusted earnings per share of $1.98.

The adjustment to the first six months of fiscal 2026 relates to a discrete tax item pertaining to establishing a taxable presence in a new state.   The adjustment to the first six months of fiscal 2025 relates to a discrete tax item in the first quarter pertaining to the release of a reserve for an uncertain tax position due to the statute of limitations expiring.

Free Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

The Company's net cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of fiscal 2026 was $136.5 million, compared to $124.6 million during the prior year comparable period. Non-GAAP free cash flow in the first six months of fiscal 2026 was $133.6 million compared to $121.4 million in the prior year comparable period.

In the second quarter fiscal 2026, the Company opportunistically repurchased approximately 1.1 million shares at a total investment of approximately $75.0 million. For the first six months fiscal 2026, the total shares repurchased were approximately 1.6 million at a total cost of approximately $109.8 million.

The Company's net debt position as of September 30, 2025 was approximately $0.9 billion, resulting in a covenant-defined leverage ratio of 2.4x.

Segment Review

North American OTC Healthcare: Segment revenues of $230.8 million for the second quarter fiscal 2026 decreased compared to the prior year comparable quarter's segment revenues of $239.8 million. The revenue decrease was primarily attributable to lower Eye & Ear Care category sales, driven primarily by limited ability to supply demand for Clear Eyes.

For the first six months of the current fiscal year, reported revenues for the North American OTC segment were $443.3 million, which compared to $472.1 million in the prior year comparable period.   The revenue decrease was primarily attributable to lower Eye & Ear Care category sales, driven by limited ability to supply demand for Clear Eyes as well as the expected headwind associated with accelerated order timing in Q4 of the prior year.

International OTC Healthcare: Fiscal second quarter 2026 revenues of $43.4 million compared to $44.0 million reported in the prior year comparable period. The lower revenue performance was driven by lower Eye & Ear Care category sales and the timing of distributor orders.

For the first six months of the current fiscal year, reported revenues for the International OTC Healthcare segment were $80.3 million, an increase of approximately 2% over the prior year comparable period’s revenues of $78.8 million, or an increase of approximately 3% excluding the effects of foreign currency.

Updated Fiscal 2026 Outlook

“Looking ahead, for the full year, we remain committed to rebuilding long-term supply chain capacity in Clear Eyes and expect to close the Pillar5 transaction as planned.   We are reaffirming our fiscal 2026 net sales outlook which anticipates eye care supply improvements in second half thanks to these long-term capacity efforts. For profitability, we are now expecting earnings per share at the higher end of our previous range as well as free cash flow of $245 million or more, driven by our strong financial profile and share repurchases executed in the second quarter,” he continued.

“We continue to remain focused on long-term brand-building that drives long-term organic growth, alongside disciplined capital allocation that helps generate superior shareholder value creation over time,” Mr. Lombardi concluded.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial results reported in accordance with GAAP, we disclose certain Non-GAAP financial measures ("NGFMs"), including, but not limited to, Non-GAAP Organic Revenues, Non-GAAP Organic Revenue Change Percentage, Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP EBITDA Margin, Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income, Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted EPS, Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow, and Net Debt. We use these NGFMs internally, along with GAAP information, in evaluating our operating performance and in making financial and operational decisions. We believe that the presentation of these NGFMs provides investors with greater transparency, and provides a more complete understanding of our business than could be obtained absent these disclosures, because the supplemental data relating to our financial condition and results of operations provides additional ways to view our operation when considered with both our GAAP results and the reconciliations below. In addition, we believe that the presentation of each of these NGFMs is useful to investors for period-to-period comparisons of results in assessing shareholder value, and we use these NGFMs internally to evaluate the performance of our personnel and also to evaluate our operating performance and compare our performance to that of our competitors.

These NGFMs are not in accordance with GAAP, should not be considered as a measure of profitability or liquidity, and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled NGFMs reported by other companies. These NGFMs have limitations and they should not be considered in isolation from or as an alternative to their most closely related GAAP measures reconciled below. Investors should not rely on any single financial measure when evaluating our business. We recommend investors review the GAAP financial measures included in this earnings release. When viewed in conjunction with our GAAP results and the reconciliations below, we believe these NGFMs provide greater transparency and a more complete understanding of factors affecting our business than GAAP measures alone.

NGFMs Defined

We define our NGFMs presented herein as follows:

• Non-GAAP Organic Revenues: GAAP Total Revenues excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates in the periods presented.

• Non-GAAP Organic Revenue Change Percentage: Calculated as the change in Non-GAAP Organic Revenues from prior year divided by prior year Non-GAAP Organic Revenues.

• Non-GAAP EBITDA: GAAP Net Income before interest expense, net, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization.

• Non-GAAP EBITDA Margin: Calculated as Non-GAAP EBITDA divided by GAAP Total Revenues.

• Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income: GAAP Net Income adjusted for a normalized tax rate.

• Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted EPS: Calculated as Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income, divided by the diluted

weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

• Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow: Calculated as GAAP Net cash provided by operating activities less cash paid for capital expenditures.

• Net Debt: Calculated as total principal amount of debt outstanding ($1,000,000 at September 30, 2025) less cash and cash equivalents ($119,106 at September 30, 2025). Amounts in thousands.

The following tables set forth the reconciliations of each of our NGFMs (other than Net Debt, which is reconciled above) to their most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.
