Outlook and guidance

• FY27 net sales and adjusted EBITDA are expected to grow flat to low single digits; the EBITDA comparison normalizes for FY26 tariff refunds.

• FY27 adjusted free cash flow target is ~50% of adjusted EBITDA; D&A is expected at $120M–$130M, capex at $40M–$50M, and cash taxes at $30M–$40M.

• FY27 input cost inflation is expected at ~$80M; pricing, lower tariff rates, and cost actions are expected to offset pressure while supporting investment.

• Global Pet Care and Home & Garden are expected to grow, while Home and Personal Care sales are expected to be relatively flat amid soft demand and competition.

• Home and Garden retailer inventory overhang is expected to largely clear in H1, though elevated levels may weigh on first-half comparisons.
