Q1 2026 earnings summary9 Feb, 2026

Executive summary

  • Q1 2026 results modestly exceeded expectations, driven by strong North America performance, especially in Sun Care and Grooming, and the completed $340 million divestiture of the Feminine Care business, sharpening focus on core categories and strengthening the balance sheet.

  • Portfolio is now more focused and agile, positioned for sustainable growth and stronger margins, with a transition services agreement in place for the divested business.

  • Net sales from continuing operations were $422.8 million, up 1.9% year-over-year, while organic net sales declined 0.5% due to lower Wet Shave and Skin Care volumes, partially offset by Sun Care and Grooming growth.

  • Net loss from continuing operations was $(29.2) million, with adjusted net loss at $(7.6) million, mainly due to lower gross margin despite higher sales.

  • Full-year outlook for continuing operations remains consistent with prior guidance after adjusting for the divestiture.

Financial highlights

  • Organic net sales for continuing operations decreased 0.5% year-over-year; consolidated organic net sales declined 0.3%.

  • Adjusted EPS was $(0.16) and adjusted EBITDA was $25.0 million, both ahead of outlook.

  • Adjusted gross margin rate decreased 210 basis points to 39.5%, with productivity savings offset by inflation, tariffs, and unfavorable mix.

  • GAAP diluted net loss per share from continuing operations was $(0.63).

  • Net cash used by operating activities was $125.9 million, up from $115.6 million last year.

Outlook and guidance

  • Fiscal 2026 outlook for continuing operations unchanged: organic net sales growth expected between -1% and +2%, reported net sales up 0.5% to 3.5%.

  • Adjusted gross margin rate expected to expand by 60 bps year-over-year, with H2 driving margin growth.

  • Adjusted EPS guidance is $1.70–$2.10, including a $0.44 headwind from the Fem Care divestiture.

  • Adjusted EBITDA expected at $245–$265 million, with two-thirds generated in H2.

  • Adjusted free cash flow (excluding divestiture impacts) expected at $80–$110 million.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
