Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. Reports Fiscal 2026 First Quarter Results

• Revenue of $249.5 million in Q1; decline driven by limited eye care supply
• Diluted EPS of $0.95 in Q1, up approximately 6% versus prior year Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.90
• Announces agreement to acquire current eye care supplier Pillar5 Pharma
• Revising fiscal 2026 revenue outlook to $1,100 to $1,115 million and Diluted EPS outlook to $4.50 to $4.58

TARRYTOWN, N.Y., Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. (NYSE:PBH) today reported financial results for its first quarter fiscal 2026 ended June 30, 2025.

“We experienced momentum in multiple areas of our business in the first quarter, including strong international segment growth, year-over-year improvement in gross margin, and solid quarterly free cash flow. Unfortunately, these positives were offset by Clear Eyes supply constraints, which resulted in lower-than-expected shipments. As we look forward, we continue to expect planned improvements in eye care supply in the second half, further helped by this morning’s announcement to acquire Pillar5. In addition, we believe the benefits of our diverse portfolio, financial profile and free cash flow should continue to drive long-term shareholder value,” said Ron Lombardi, Chief Executive Officer of Prestige Consumer Healthcare.

First Fiscal Quarter Ended June 30, 2025

Reported revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 of $249.5 million decreased 6.6% from $267.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and decreased 6.4% excluding the impact of foreign currency. The revenue performance versus the prior year comparable period reflected limited ability to supply demand for Clear Eyes and the expected headwind associated with accelerated order timing in Q4 of the prior year, partially offset by continued strong growth in the International OTC segment.

Reported net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 totaled $47.5 million, compared to the prior year first quarter’s net income of $49.1 million and adjusted net income of $45.0 million. Diluted earnings per share of $0.95 for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $0.98 diluted earnings per share in the prior year comparable period and $0.90 on a non-GAAP basis.

The adjustment to the first quarter of fiscal 2025 relates to a discrete tax item 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 quarter of fiscal 2026 was $79.0 million, compared to $54.8 million during the prior year comparable period. Non-GAAP free cash flow in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 of $78.2 million increased compared to $53.6 million in the prior year first quarter. The material increase in free cash flow was attributable to the timing of working capital and lower interest expense.

In fiscal 2025, the Company repurchased approximately 0.4 million shares at a total investment of approximately $34.8 million. The Company's net debt position as of June, 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 $212.6 million for the first quarter fiscal 2026 decreased compared to the prior year comparable quarter's segment revenues of $232.3 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 and the expected headwind associated with accelerated order timing in Q4 of the prior year.

International OTC Healthcare: Fiscal first quarter 2026 revenues of $37.0 million increased 6.1% compared to $34.8 million reported in the prior year comparable period. The revenue performance was driven by broad-based growth across geographies.

Acquisition of Supplier Pillar5 Pharma

As part of a long-term strategy to expand eye care production capacity, the Company has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Pillar5 Pharma Inc. (“Pillar5”), a leading sterile ophthalmic manufacturer and current Clear Eyes supplier from ANJAC SAS, a French family-owned industrial group with production sites across health, beauty, personal care and food supplements. Clear Eyes is the largest revenue source for Pillar5. The transaction is expected to be approximately neutral to EPS and is expected to close in the third quarter fiscal 2026 based on fulfillment of certain closing conditions.

Based in Ontario, Canada, Pillar5 is a well-established key manufacturer of multi-dose sterile OTC ophthalmic products, which represents the majority of revenue, as well as a producer of certain solid dose products.

Updated Fiscal 2026 Initial Outlook

“Although we are disappointed with our start to fiscal 2026 due to our eye care category performance, we are pleased to announce the acquisition of Pillar5 from ANJAC, who has been a valued partner in producing Clear Eyes since 2016. The acquisition of a sterile eye care manufacturing site is a strategic component to our objective of securing near-term supply and building long-term supply chain capacity to meet the robust demand we anticipate for Clear Eyes. While we expect third party partner manufacturing to remain complementary to our production at Pillar5, we believe securing an internal source of reliable sterile eye manufacturing best supports our eye care business and further enables our long-term growth opportunities,” said Ron Lombardi, Chief Executive Officer of Prestige Consumer Healthcare.

He continued, “Primarily to reflect the supply chain shortfalls in eye care that are expected to persist in the first half of fiscal 2026, we now anticipate revenue of $1,100 to $1,115 million. For the second half, we still anticipate year-over-year growth from an acceleration of supply in eye care thanks to our multi-year strategy to enhance long-term capacity. For profitability, we now anticipate EPS of $4.50 to $4.58 driven by our strong financial profile that includes gross margin expansion and lower interest expense. Our free cash flow forecast of $245 million or more is unchanged, along with our commitment to a strong balance sheet and disciplined capital allocation. We believe the benefits of our robust free cash flow and the attributes of our diverse portfolio of needs-based products leaves us well positioned to continue generating consistent financial results and cash flow, which should generate superior shareholder value creation over time,” Mr. Lombardi concluded.

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws that are intended to qualify for the Safe Harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. "Forward-looking statements" generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "guidance," "outlook," "may," "will," "would," “believe,” "expect," “look forward,” "anticipate,” “planned,” “positioned,” or "continue" (or the negative or other derivatives of each of these terms) or similar terminology. The "forward-looking statements" include, without limitation, statements regarding the Company's future operating results including revenues, organic growth, diluted earnings per share, and free cash flow; the expected impact of Pillar5 on the Company’s revenue and EPS; the timing of the closing of Pillar5; the continued reliance on third-party manufacturing and the impact of acquiring Pillar5 on the supply of eye care products; and the Company’s ability to enhance shareholder value through its business strategy, diverse product portfolio, solid balance sheet, generation of free cash flow, and efficient capital allocation. These statements are based on management's estimates and assumptions with respect to future events and financial performance and are believed to be reasonable, though are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Actual results could differ materially from those expected as a result of a variety of factors, including the impact of business and economic conditions, including as a result of evolving U.S. and international tariffs, labor shortages, inflation and geopolitical instability, consumer trends, the impact of the Company’s advertising and marketing and new product development initiatives, customer inventory management initiatives, fluctuating foreign exchange rates, competitive pressures, the ability to meet Pillar5 closing conditions, and the ability of the Company’s manufacturing operations and third party manufacturers and logistics providers and suppliers to meet demand for its products and to avoid inflationary cost increases and disruption as a result of labor shortages. A discussion of other factors that could cause results to vary is included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025 and other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 June 30, 2025) less cash and cash equivalents ($139,502 at June 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.
