EDGEWELL PERSONAL CARE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited, in millions, except per share data)

Note 1 - Background and Basis of Presentation
Background
Edgewell Personal Care Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Edgewell” or the “Company”) is one of the world’s largest manufacturers and marketers of personal care products in the wet shave, sun and skin care, and feminine care categories. With operations in over 20 countries, the Company’s products are widely available in more than 50 countries.
The Company conducts its business in the following three segments:
Wet Shave consists of products sold under the Schick®, Wilkinson SwordTM, Edge, Skintimate®, Billie®, Shave Guard and our custom brands group (formerly sold under our Shave Guard and Personna® brands), as well as non-branded products. The Company’s wet shave products include razor handles and refillable blades, disposable shave products, and shaving gels and creams.
Sun and Skin Care consists of Banana Boat® and Hawaiian Tropic® sun care products, Jack Black®, Bulldog® and Cremo® men’s and women’s grooming products, Billie women’s grooming products and Wet Ones® products.
Feminine Care includes tampons, pads and liners sold under the Playtex Gentle Glide® and Sport®, Stayfree®, Carefree®, and o.b.® brands.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) under the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The preparation of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement have been included in the interim results reported. The fiscal year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but do not include all of the annual disclosures required by GAAP; accordingly, these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 28, 2023.
Certain immaterial prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s presentation.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures to update income tax disclosure requirements primarily by requiring specific categories and greater disaggregation within the rate reconciliation and disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The amendments in the ASU also remove disclosures related to certain unrecognized tax benefits and deferred taxes. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively with early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of the requirements on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures to expand reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in the ASU require that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to an entity's chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), a description of other segment items by reportable segment, and any additional measures of a segment's profit or loss used by the CODM when deciding how to allocate resources. Annual disclosures are required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Interim disclosures are required for periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Retrospective application is required for all prior periods presented with early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of the requirements on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-04, "Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations" which requires that a buyer in a supplier finance program disclose additional information about the program for financial statement users including a rollforward of those obligations. The Company adopted the standard as of October 1, 2023, except for amendments relating to the rollforward requirement, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023.
The Company has agreements with its suppliers in the ordinary course of business for such supplier finance programs which facilitate participating suppliers’ ability to finance payment obligations of the Company with designated third-party financial institutions. The Company is not a party to the arrangements between the suppliers and the third-party financial institutions. The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by suppliers’ decisions to finance amounts under these arrangements. The payment terms under the programs range from 60 to 120 days. As of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, $22.8 and $21.8, respectively, were valid obligations under the various programs. The obligations are presented as Accounts payable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Revision of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements
As previously disclosed in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 28, 2023, the Company evaluated aged accrued expenditures related to goods received but not yet invoiced by certain of its vendors (“GRNI”). Based upon an assessment, including evaluating the expiry of the applicable statute of limitations of the accrued expenditures, the Company concluded that $8.5 of aged accrued GRNI originating in years 2014 through 2018 were no longer required to be reflected as accounts payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2023 and should have been reversed in prior fiscal years. The Company concluded that the misstatements were not material, either individually or in the aggregate, to its previously issued consolidated financial statements.
To correct the immaterial misstatements, the Company has revised the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity for the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended March 31, 2023, as well as the associated Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to reflect the corrections of these immaterial misstatements as of and for the three and six months ended March 31, 2023. There were no changes to previously issued total cash flows generated from (used by) operating, investing, or financing activities for six months ended March 31, 2023.
The following table reflects the revisions to the previously issued Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2023:

Note 2 - Restructuring Charges
Operating Model Redesign
In fiscal 2024, the Company continues to take actions to strengthen its operating model, simplify the organization’s ways of working and improve manufacturing and supply chain efficiency and productivity. As a result of these actions, the Company expects to incur restructuring and repositioning related charges of approximately $19 in fiscal 2024. The Company has incurred restructuring and related charges as follows:
Three Months Ended March 31,Six Months Ended March 31,

Severance and related costs $1.1 $1.9 $5.0 $2.8

The following table summarizes the restructuring activities and related accrual for the six months ended March 31, 2024:

Note 3 - Income Taxes
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2024, the Company had income tax expense of $11.0 and $12.2, respectively, on Earnings before income taxes of $47.0 and $53.0, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024 was 23.4% and 23.0%, respectively. The difference between the federal statutory rate and the effective rate is primarily due to an unfavorable mix of earnings in higher tax rate jurisdictions.
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had income tax expense of $7.2 and $11.8, respectively, on Earnings before income taxes of $26.6 and $43.6, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended March 31, 2023 was 27.0% and 26.9%, respectively. The difference between the federal statutory rate and the effective rate was primarily due to an unfavorable mix of earnings in higher tax rate jurisdictions.

Note 4 - Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings per share is based on the number of shares used for the basic earnings per share calculation, adjusted for the dilutive effect of share options, restricted share equivalent (“RSE”) and performance restricted share equivalent (“PRSE”) awards.
The following is the reconciliation between the number of weighted-average shares used in the basic and diluted net earnings per share calculation:    
Three Months Ended

The following weighted-average common shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net earnings per share because the effect of including these awards was antidilutive.

Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life are not amortized but are instead reviewed annually for impairment or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. The Company’s annual impairment testing date is July 1. An interim impairment analysis may indicate that carrying amounts of goodwill and other intangible assets require adjustment or that remaining useful lives should be revised. The Company determined there were no triggering events requiring an interim impairment analysis during the three and six months ended March 31, 2024.

Note 7 - Accounts Receivable Facilities
The Company participates in accounts receivable facility programs both in the United States and Japan. These receivable agreements are between the Company and MUFG Bank, LTD, and the subsidiaries of both parties. Transfers under the accounts receivable repurchase agreements are accounted for as sales of accounts receivables, resulting in the receivables being derecognized from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The purchaser assumes the credit risk at the time of sale and has the right at any time to assign, transfer, or participate any of its rights under the purchased receivables to another bank or financial institution. The purchase and sale of receivables under accounts receivable repurchase agreements is intended to be an absolute and irrevocable transfer without recourse by the purchaser to the Company for the creditworthiness of any obligor. The Company has considered its performance obligation to collect and service the receivables sold in the United States and Japan
13


and has determined that the costs associated with such services are not material. The compensation received is considered acceptable servicing compensation and as such, the Company does not recognize a servicing asset or liability.
Accounts receivables sold were $316.4 and $532.5 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024, respectively, and $315.5 and $527.6 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, respectively. The trade receivables sold that remained outstanding as of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023 were $119.3 and $82.1, respectively. The net proceeds received were included in both Cash from operating activities and Cash used by investing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The difference between the carrying amount of the trade receivables sold and the sum of the cash received is recorded as a loss on sale of receivables in Other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The loss on sale of trade receivables was $1.6 and $2.8 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024, respectively. The loss on sale of trade receivables was $1.5 and $2.4 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, respectively.

As of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the Company also had outstanding short-term notes payable with financial institutions with original maturities of less than 90 days of $23.6 and $19.5, respectively, with weighted-average interest rates of 3.8% and 3.9% as of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. These notes were primarily outstanding international borrowings.
U.S. Revolving Credit Facility
On April 2, 2024, the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a Restatement Agreement (the "Restatement Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the several lenders from time to time party thereto, which amended the Company’s Credit Agreement, dated as of March 28, 2020 (as previously amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement, dated as of February 6, 2023, and as otherwise amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the Restatement Date, the “Credit Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Restatement Agreement, all of the $425.0 of revolving facility commitments under the Credit Agreement (the “Existing Revolving Facility Commitments”) were replaced with an equal amount of new revolving facility commitments (the “Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments”) having substantially similar terms as the Existing Revolving Facility Commitments, except that the maturity date of the Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments will be the earlier of (i) April 2, 2029, and (ii) (a) March 2, 2028, if the aggregate outstanding amount of the Company’s 5.500% Senior Notes due 2028 is greater than $150.0 as of such date and (b) December 29, 2028, if the aggregate outstanding amount of the Company’s 4.125% Senior Notes due 2029 is greater than $150.0 of as such date, in each case, subject to certain exceptions.

Note 9 - Retirement Plans
The Company has several defined benefit pension plans covering employees in the U.S. and certain employees in other countries. The plans provide retirement benefits based on years of service and compensation. The Company also sponsors or participates in several other non-U.S. pension and postretirement arrangements, including various retirement and termination benefit plans, some of which are required by local law or coordinated with government-sponsored plans, which are not significant in the aggregate and, therefore, are not included in the information presented below.
The Company’s net periodic pension and postretirement costs for its material plans were as follows:

The remaining net periodic cost is recorded to Other expense, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.
The Company initiated the wind-up of its Canadian defined benefit pension plan (“Canada Plan”) in June 2021. On September 1, 2021, Edgewell Personal Care Canada ULC (“EPC Canada”) as administrator of the Canada Plan, entered into a buy-in annuity purchase agreement (“Buy-in Agreement”) with Brookfield Annuity Company (“Brookfield Annuity”) for certain members of the Canada Plan. On January 25, 2023, the Company received approval by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario to wind-up the Canada Plan. Upon regulatory approval of the Canada Plan, EPC Canada proceeded with purchasing annuities for the remaining Canada Plan participants and converting the Buy-in Agreement to a buy-out annuity purchase agreement (“Buy-out Agreement”), which was purchased and funded by the Canada Plan on March 31, 2023. The Company was relieved of its defined benefit pension obligation through its irrevocable commitment under the Buy-out Agreement. As of the settlement date, the Company remeasured its assets and its project benefit obligation associated with the Canada Plan. Upon settlement, the Company derecognized the assets, projected benefit obligation and losses remaining in accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with the Canada Plan. A loss of $7.2 was recorded in Other expense (income), net on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2023.
Note 10 - Shareholders’ Equity
Share Repurchases
In January 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized the repurchase of up to 10.0 shares of the Company’s common stock, replacing the previous share repurchase authorization from May 2015. The Company repurchased 0.8 shares of its common stock for $30.3 during the six months ended March 31, 2024. There are 3.8 shares of common stock available for repurchase in the future under the Board’s authorization as of March 31, 2024.

Note 12 - Financial Instruments and Risk Management
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may enter into contractual arrangements (also referred to as derivatives) to reduce its exposure to foreign currency. The Company has master netting agreements with all of its counterparties that allow for the settlement of contracts in an asset position with contracts in a liability position in the event of default. The Company manages counterparty risk through the utilization of investment grade commercial banks, diversification of counterparties, and its counterparty netting arrangements. The section below outlines the types of derivatives in place as of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, as well as the Company’s objectives and strategies for holding derivative instruments.
Foreign Currency Risk
A significant share of the Company’s sales is tied to currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reporting currency. 
16


As such, a weakening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can have an unfavorable impact on reported earnings. Conversely, strengthening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can improve reported results. The primary currencies to which the Company is exposed include the euro, the Japanese yen, the British pound, the Canadian dollar, and the Australian dollar.
Additionally, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries enter into internal and external transactions that create non-functional currency balance sheet positions at the foreign subsidiary level. These exposures are generally the result of intercompany purchases, intercompany loans and, to a lesser extent, external purchases, and are revalued in the foreign subsidiary’s local currency at the end of each month. Changes in the value of the non-functional currency balance sheet positions in relation to the foreign subsidiary’s local currency results in an exchange gain or loss recorded in Other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The primary currency to which the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are exposed is the U.S. dollar.
Cash Flow Hedges
As of March 31, 2024, the Company maintains a cash flow hedging program related to foreign currency risk. These derivative instruments have a high correlation to the underlying exposure being hedged and have been deemed highly effective by the Company for accounting purposes in offsetting the associated risk.
The Company has forward currency contracts to hedge cash flow uncertainty associated with currency fluctuations. These transactions are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The Company had an unrealized pre-tax gain of $3.4 and an unrealized pre-tax gain of $4.4 as of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, on these forward currency contracts, which are accounted for as cash flow hedges and included in AOCI in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Assuming foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar remain at March 31, 2024 levels over the next 12 months, the majority of the pre-tax gain included in AOCI in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2024 is expected to be included in Other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. Contract maturities for these hedges extend into fiscal 2025. As of March 31, 2024, there were 64 open foreign currency contracts with a total notional value of $108.1.
Derivatives not Designated as Hedges
The Company has foreign currency derivative contracts, which are not designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes, to hedge balance sheet exposures. Any gains or losses on these contracts are expected to be offset by exchange gains or losses on the underlying exposures and, thus, are not expected to be subject to significant market risk. The change in the estimated fair value of the foreign currency contracts for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024, resulted in a gain of $1.7 and $0.6, respectively, compared to a gain of $2.4 and a loss of $0.3 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, and was recorded in Other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. As of March 31, 2024, there were two open foreign currency derivative contracts not designated as cash flow hedges with a total notional value of $9.0.
The following table provides estimated fair values of derivative instruments:

(2)All derivative liabilities are presented in Other current liabilities or Other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions or external inputs from inactive markets.
The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, which are carried at fair value and measured on a recurring basis during the period, all of which are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy:
March 31,
2024
September 30,
2023
Assets (Liabilities) at estimated fair value:  
Deferred compensation liability$(20.5)$(19.4)
Derivatives - foreign currency contracts asset2.2 5.6 
Net assets (liabilities) at estimated fair value$(18.3)$(13.8)
The estimated fair value of the deferred compensation liability is determined based upon the quoted market prices of the investment options that are offered under the plan. As of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the estimated fair value of foreign currency contracts is the amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts, considering first the quoted market prices of comparable agreements or, in the absence of quoted market prices, factors such as interest rates, currency exchange rates, and remaining maturities.
As of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the Company had no Level 1 financial assets or liabilities, other than pension plan assets, and no Level 3 financial assets or liabilities as of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.
18


As of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the fair market value of fixed rate long-term debt was $1,127.9 and $1,028.6, respectively, compared to its carrying value of $1,250.0 in each period. The estimated fair value of the long-term debt was estimated using yields obtained from independent pricing sources for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The estimated fair value of long-term debt, excluding the Company’s credit agreement, dated as of March 28, 2020, by and among, inter alia, the Company, the subsidiaries of the Company from time to time parties thereto, the lenders from time to time parties thereto, MUFG, as syndication agent, TD as joint lead arranger and BofA, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), has been determined based on Level 2 inputs.
Due to the nature of cash and cash equivalents and short-term borrowings, including notes payable, the carrying amounts on the balance sheets approximate fair value. Additionally, the carrying amounts of the Revolving Credit Facility, which are classified as long-term debt on the balance sheet, approximate fair value due to the revolving nature of the balances.

Note 13 - Segment Data
For an overview of the Company’s segments, refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Segment performance is evaluated based on segment profit, excluding certain U.S. GAAP items that management does not believe are indicative of ongoing operating performance due to their unusual or non-recurring nature and which may have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on the Company’s financial results in any particular period. Financial items, such as interest income and expense, are managed on a global basis at the corporate level and therefore are excluded from segment profit. The exclusion of such charges from segment results reflects management’s view on how management monitors and evaluates segment operating performance, generates future operating plans and makes strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital.
The Company’s operating model includes some shared business functions across the segments, including product warehousing and distribution, transaction processing functions and, in most cases, combined sales force and management teams. The Company applies a fully allocated cost basis in which shared business functions are allocated between the segments.

Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to a number of legal proceedings in various jurisdictions arising out of its operations during the ordinary course of business. Many of these legal matters are in preliminary stages and involve complex issues of law and fact and may proceed for protracted periods of time. The amount of liability, if any, from these proceedings cannot be determined with certainty. The Company reviews its legal proceedings and claims, regulatory reviews and inspections and other legal proceedings on an ongoing basis and follows appropriate accounting guidance when making accrual and disclosure decisions. The Company establishes accruals for those contingencies when the incurrence of a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated and discloses the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued if such disclosure is necessary for its financial statements to not be misleading. The Company does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable, but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated. Based upon present information, the Company believes that its liability, if any, arising from such pending legal proceedings, asserted legal claims, and known potential legal claims which are likely to be asserted, is not reasonably likely to be material to its financial position, results of operations or cash flows, when taking into account established accruals for estimated liabilities.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
(Amounts in millions, except per share data, unaudited)
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 28, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”). The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs and involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed within “Forward-Looking Statements” below and in Item 1A. Risk Factors and “Forward-Looking Statements” included within our 2023 Annual Report.
Forward-Looking Statements
This document contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of Edgewell Personal Care Company or any of our businesses (the “Company”). Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of words or phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “expectation,” “anticipate,” “may,” “could,” “intend,” “estimate,” “plan,” “target,” “predict,” “likely,” “will,” “should,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “strategy,” or other similar words or phrases. These statements are not based on historical facts, but instead reflect our expectations, estimates or projections concerning future results or events, including, without limitation, the future earnings and performance of the Company or any of our businesses. Many factors outside our control could affect the realization of these estimates. These statements are not guarantees of performance and are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict and could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated by those statements. We cannot assure you that any of our expectations, estimates or projections will be achieved. The forward-looking statements included in this report are only made as of the date of this report, and we disclaim any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement to reflect subsequent events or circumstances, except as required by law. You should not place undue reliance on these statements.
In addition, other risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we presently consider immaterial could significantly affect the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements should be evaluated with the understanding of their inherent uncertainty. Risks and uncertainties include those detailed from time to time in our publicly filed documents, including in Item 1A. Risk Factors of Part I of our 2023 Annual Report.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
While we report financial results in accordance with GAAP, this discussion also includes non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures are referred to as “adjusted” or “organic” and exclude items which are considered by the Company as unusual or non-recurring, and which may have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on the Company’s financial results in any particular period. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures are included within this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This non-GAAP information is provided as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. We use this non-GAAP information internally to make operating decisions and believe it is helpful to investors because it allows more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of ongoing operating results. Given certain significant events, we view the use of non-GAAP measures that take into account the impact of these unique events as particularly valuable in understanding our underlying operational results and providing insights into future performance. The information can also be used to perform trend analysis and to better identify operating trends that may otherwise be masked or distorted by the types of items that are excluded. This non-GAAP information is also a component in determining management’s incentive compensation. Finally, we believe this information provides more transparency.
The following provides additional detail on our non-GAAP measures for the periods presented:
We analyze net sales and segment profit on an organic basis to better measure the comparability of results between periods. Organic net sales and organic segment profit exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency translation.
Segment profit will be impacted by fluctuations in translation and transactional foreign currency. The impact of currency was applied to segments using management’s best estimate.
Additionally, we utilize “adjusted” non-GAAP measures, including adjusted gross margin, adjusted selling general and administrative (“SG&A”), adjusted operating income, adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted net earnings, and adjusted diluted net earnings per share internally to make operating decisions.
All comparisons are with the same period in the prior year, unless otherwise noted.
22


Industry and Market Data
Unless we indicate otherwise, we base the information contained or incorporated by reference herein, concerning our industry on our general knowledge and expectations. Our market position, market share, and industry market size are estimates based on internal and external data from various industry analyses, our internal research and adjustments, and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. We have not independently verified data from industry analyses and cannot guarantee its accuracy or completeness. In addition, we believe that industry, market size, market position and market share data within our industry provides general guidance but is inherently imprecise and has not been verified by any independent source. Further, our estimates and assumptions involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in Part I of our 2023 Annual Report. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates and assumptions. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this data.
Retail sales for purposes of market size, market position and market share information are based on retail sales in U.S. dollars.
Trademarks and Trade Names
We own or have rights to use trademarks and trade names that we use in conjunction with the operation of our business, which appear throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We may also refer to brand names, trademarks, service marks and trade names of other companies and organizations, which are the property of their respective owners.

Executive Summary
The following is a summary of key results for the second quarter and the first six months of fiscal 2024, as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2023. In addition to net sales, net earnings and earnings per share (“EPS”) for the periods presented were also impacted by certain costs or income, as described in the table below. The impact of these items on reported net earnings and EPS are provided as a reconciliation of net earnings and EPS to adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted EPS, both of which are non-GAAP measures.
Second Quarter of Fiscal 2024
Net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 increased $1.0, or 0.2%, to $599.4, as compared to the prior year quarter. Organic net sales increased $0.7, or 0.1%, compared to the prior year quarter, primarily driven by double-digit growth in global Grooming and Sun Care were mostly offset by declines in North America Wet Shave and Feminine Care. Net Sales in International markets increased 5.8% which were offset by lower net sales in North America of 2.8%. In aggregate, increased pricing and revenue management as well as higher volumes in International markets were largely offset by lower volumes in North America.
Net earnings in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 were $36.0 compared to $19.4 in the prior year quarter. On an adjusted basis, net earnings for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 were $44.0 compared to $29.4 in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net earnings increased primarily due to higher gross margin.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2024, net sales were $599.4, an increase of $1.0, or 0.2%, including a $0.3, or 0.1%, favorable impact from currency movements. Organic net sales increased $0.7, or 0.1%, primarily driven by double-digit growth in global Grooming and Sun Care, respectively, and were mostly offset by declines in North America Wet Shave and Feminine Care.

In aggregate, increased pricing and revenue management as well as higher volumes in International markets were largely offset by lower volumes in North America.
For the first six months of fiscal 2024, net sales were $1,088.3, an increase of $20.8, or 1.9%, including a $5.8, or 0.5%, favorable impact from currency movements. Organic net sales increased $15.0, or 1.4%, as International markets across all segments increased 10.7%, and were partially offset by lower net sales in North America, which decreased 3.7%.

For further discussion regarding net sales, including a summary of reported versus organic changes, see “Segment Results.”
Gross Profit
Gross profit was $258.1 during the second quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to $242.3 in the prior year quarter, an increase of $15.8, or 6.5%. Gross margin as a percent of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 increased 260-basis points, to 43.1% in the quarter. Adjusted gross margin as a percent of net sales increased 320-basis points, to 43.7% in the quarter. The adjusted gross margin increase was due to productivity savings of approximately 240-basis points and the benefit of higher pricing and strategic revenue management of approximately 190-basis points, which more than offset core gross inflationary pressures of approximately 60-basis points, unfavorable mix and other costs of 40-basis points, and a 10-basis point unfavorable impact from currency.
Gross profit was $455.8 during the first six months of fiscal 2024, compared to $431.9 in the prior year period, an increase of $23.9, or 5.5%. Gross margin as a percent of net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2024 increased 140-basis points, to 41.9%. Adjusted gross margin as a percent of net sales increased 190-basis points, to 42.4%. The adjusted gross margin increase was primarily due to productivity savings, the benefits of higher pricing and strategic revenue management as well as a favorable impact from currency, which more than offset heightened unit cost inflation trapped in inventory, core gross inflationary pressures and unfavorable mix and other costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
SG&A was $107.5, or 17.9%, of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to $105.2, or 17.6%, of net sales in the prior year quarter. Adjusted SG&A as a percent of net sales was 17.4%, an increase of 20-basis points, primarily driven by higher people expenses, partially offset by operational efficiency savings and lower bad debt and other corporate costs.
SG&A was $210.8, or 19.4%, of net sales in the first six months of fiscal 2024 compared to $200.9, or 18.8%, of net sales in the prior year period. Adjusted SG&A as a percent of net sales was 19.0%, an increase of 60-basis points, primarily driven by higher people expenses, partially offset by operational efficiency savings and lower bad debt and other corporate costs.
Advertising and Sales Promotion Expense
For the second quarter of fiscal 2024, A&P was $63.1, an increase of $0.2, or 0.3%, compared to $62.9 in the prior year quarter. A&P as a percent of net sales was 10.5%, which was flat compared to the prior year quarter.
For the first six months of fiscal 2024, A&P was $111.3, an increase of $2.5, or 2.3%, compared to $108.8 in the prior year period. A&P as a percent of net sales was 10.2%, which was flat compared to the prior year period.

26


Research and Development Expense
Research and development (“R&D”) expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was $14.2, a decrease of $0.2, or 1.4%, compared to $14.4 in the prior year quarter. As a percent of net sales, R&D expense was 2.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, which was flat compared to the prior year quarter.
R&D expense for the first six months of fiscal 2024 was $27.5, a decrease of $0.3, or 1.1%, compared to $27.8 in the prior year period. As a percent of net sales, R&D expense was 2.5% in the first six months of fiscal 2024 compared to 2.6% in the prior year period.

Interest Expense Associated with Debt
Interest expense associated with debt for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was $20.4, a decrease of $0.3, or 1.4%, compared to $20.7 in the prior year quarter. For the first six months of fiscal 2024, interest expense was $40.2, a decrease of $0.4, or 1.0%, compared to $40.6 in the prior year period. The decrease in interest expense was the result of a lower overall debt balance on the Company’s revolving credit facility, partially offset by higher interest rates.

Other expense, net
Other expense, net, was $2.7 in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, a decrease of $6.8, or 71.6%, compared to $9.5 in the prior year quarter. Other expense, net, was $3.0 during the first six months of fiscal 2024, a decrease of $1.5 or 33.3% compared to $4.5 during the prior year period. The second quarter and first six months of 2023 included a $7.2 million charge for the wind-up of the Canada Plan.

Income Tax Provision
The effective tax rate for the second quarter and first six months ended March 31, 2024, was 23.4% and 23.0%, respectively, compared to 27.0% and 26.9% in the prior year period. The fiscal 2024 effective tax rate reflects the favorable mix of earnings in lower tax rate jurisdictions and the impact of a change in the Company’s prior estimates. On an adjusted basis, the effective tax rate was 23.6% and 23.5%, for the second quarter and first six months ended March 31, 2024, respectively, and 26.6% and 26.5% for the second quarter and first six months March 31, 2023 respectively.

Operating Model Redesign
In fiscal 2024, the Company is continuing to strengthen its operating model, simplify the organization’s ways of working and improve manufacturing and supply chain efficiency. As a result of these actions, we expect to incur charges of approximately $19 in fiscal 2024. We incurred $3.2 and $10.0 during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024, respectively, primarily related to employee severance and related costs.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2024, corporate expenses were $15.0, or 2.5%, of net sales, compared to $17.0, or 2.8%, of net sales in the prior year quarter. For the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the decrease in corporate expenses was primarily due to a decrease in corporate consulting and project costs which was partially offset by higher people and incentive compensation costs.
For the first six months of fiscal 2024, corporate expenses were $31.2, or 2.9%, of net sales, compared to $32.9, or 3.1%, of net sales in the prior year period. For the first six months of fiscal 2024, the decrease in corporate expenses is primarily due to a decrease in corporate consulting and project costs which was partially offset by higher people and incentive compensation costs.
Wet Ones manufacturing plant fire
On December 1, 2023, a fire occurred at our Wet Ones manufacturing plant in Sidney, Ohio. There were no injuries reported and damage was limited to a single manufacturing process. As a consequence of the fire damage, there was a partial shutdown of the operations that manufacture Wet Ones raw materials. For the second quarter and the first six months of fiscal 2024, we incurred $3.8 and $5.3, respectively, in incremental costs related to material charges, increased labor and absorption and other inefficiency costs as a result of the fire.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2024, a significant portion of our cash balances was located outside the U.S. Given our extensive international operations, a significant portion of our cash is denominated in foreign currencies. Refer to Note 12 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the primary currencies to which the Company is exposed. We manage our worldwide cash requirements by reviewing available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. We generally repatriate a portion of current year earnings from select non-U.S. subsidiaries only if the economic cost of the repatriation is not considered material.
Our cash is deposited with multiple counterparties which consist of major financial institutions. We consistently monitor positions with, and credit ratings of, counterparties both internally and by using outside ratings agencies.
Our total borrowings as of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023 were as follows:

Revolver balance available$308.7 $297.1 
On April 2, 2024, we amended our Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to the Restatement Agreement. Refer to Note 8 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement for additional discussion.
Historically, we have generated, and expect to continue to generate, favorable cash flows from operations. Our cash flows are affected by the seasonality of our Sun Care businesses, typically resulting in higher net sales and increased cash generated in the second and third quarters of each fiscal year. We believe our cash on hand, cash flows from operations and borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to satisfy our future working capital requirements, interest payments, R&D activities, capital expenditures, and other financing requirements for at least the next 12 months. We will continue to monitor our cash flows, spending and liquidity needs.
Short-term financing needs primarily consist of working capital requirements and interest payments on our long-term debt. Long-term financing needs will depend largely on potential growth opportunities, including acquisition activity and repayment or refinancing of our long-term debt obligations. Our long-term liquidity may be influenced by our ability to borrow additional funds, renegotiate existing debt, and raise equity under terms that are favorable to us. We may, from time-to-time, seek to repurchase shares of our common stock. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.
As of March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with the provisions and covenants associated with our debt agreements.

Operating Activities
Cash flow provided by operating activities was $56.1 during the first six months of fiscal 2024, compared to $1.9 of cash provided from operations during the prior year period. The increase in cash provided was largely driven by a lower net working capital build and increased earnings.                                                                                                                                                                                                    
Investing Activities
Net cash used by investing activities was $19.7 during the first six months of fiscal 2024, compared to $20.0 of cash used during the prior year period. Capital expenditures were $18.0 during the first six months of fiscal 2024, compared to $18.8 in the prior year period.
Financing Activities
Net cash used by financing activities was $59.4 during the first six months of fiscal 2024, compared to $29.0 of cash used in the prior year period. During the first six months of fiscal 2024, we had net borrowings of $11.0 under the Revolving Credit Facility, compared to $21.0 in the prior year period. Dividend payments totaled $15.8 in the first six months of fiscal 2024, compared to $16.1 in the prior year period. We had financing outflows for employee equity awards held for taxes totaling $7.0 in the first six months of fiscal 2024, compared to $8.1 in the prior year period.
Share Repurchases
During the first six months of fiscal 2024, we repurchased 0.8 shares of our common stock for $30.3. We have 3.8 shares remaining under the Repurchase Plan as of March 31, 2024. Future share repurchases, if any, would be made in the open market, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, in such amounts and at such times as we deem appropriate based upon prevailing market conditions, business needs and other factors.

Dividends
Dividend activity for the six months ended March 31, 2024 are as follows:
Date DeclaredRecord DatePayable DateAmount Per Share
August 1, 2023September 7, 2023October 4, 2023$0.15

On May 8, 2024, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per common share for the third fiscal quarter of 2024. The dividend will be payable on July 9, 2024 to shareholders of record as the close of business on June 6, 2024.
Dividends declared during the six months ended March 31, 2024 totaled $15.2. Payments made for dividends during the six months ended March 31, 2024 totaled $15.8.

Commitments and Contingencies
Contractual Obligations
As of March 31, 2024, we had outstanding borrowings of $111.0 under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2024, future minimum repayments of debt were: $111.0 in fiscal 2025, $750.0 in fiscal 2028 and $500.0 in fiscal 2029.
There have been no other material changes in our contractual obligations since the presentation in our 2023 Annual Report.
32



Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Information regarding new accounting pronouncements is included in Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are fully described in our 2023 Annual Report. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions can be subjective and complex, and consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates since September 30, 2023.
33


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
(Amounts in millions)
The market risk inherent in our financial instruments and positions represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in currency rates, commodity prices, and interest rates. At times, we enter into contractual arrangements (derivatives) to reduce these exposures. For further information on our foreign currency derivative instruments, refer to Note 12 of Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As of March 31, 2024, there were no open derivative or hedging instruments for future purchases of raw materials or commodities. Our exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to our variable-rate debt instruments, which currently bear interest based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus margin. As of March 31, 2024, our outstanding variable-rate debt included $135.4 related to the Revolving Credit Facility and international, variable-rate notes payable. Assuming a one-percent increase in the applicable interest rates, annual interest expense on these variable-rate debt instruments would increase approximately $1.4.
There have been no material changes in our assessment of market risk sensitivity since our presentation of Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in our 2023 Annual Report.

34


Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2024. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of that date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

With operations in over 20 countries, the Company’s products are widely available in more than 50 countries.
The Company conducts its business in the following three segments:

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) under the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The preparation of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement have been included in the interim results reported. The fiscal year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but do not include all of the annual disclosures required by GAAP; accordingly, these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 28, 2023.
Certain immaterial prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s presentation.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures to update income tax disclosure requirements primarily by requiring specific categories and greater disaggregation within the rate reconciliation and disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The amendments in the ASU also remove disclosures related to certain unrecognized tax benefits and deferred taxes. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively with early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of the requirements on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures to expand reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in the ASU require that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to an entity's chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), a description of other segment items by reportable segment, and any additional measures of a segment's profit or loss used by the CODM when deciding how to allocate resources. Annual disclosures are required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Interim disclosures are required for periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Retrospective application is required for all prior periods presented with early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of the requirements on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Supplier Finance Program
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-04, "Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations" which requires that a buyer in a supplier finance program disclose additional information about the program for financial statement users including a rollforward of those obligations. The Company adopted the standard as of October 1, 2023, except for amendments relating to the rollforward requirement, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023.
The Company has agreements with its suppliers in the ordinary course of business for such supplier finance programs which facilitate participating suppliers’ ability to finance payment obligations of the Company with designated third-party financial institutions. The Company is not a party to the arrangements between the suppliers and the third-party financial institutions. The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by suppliers’ decisions to finance amounts under these arrangements. The payment terms under the programs range from 60 to 120 days. As of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, $22.8 and $21.8, respectively, were valid obligations under the various programs. The obligations are presented as Accounts payable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Income Taxes Income Taxes
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2024, the Company had income tax expense of $11.0 and $12.2, respectively, on Earnings before income taxes of $47.0 and $53.0, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024 was 23.4% and 23.0%, respectively. The difference between the federal statutory rate and the effective rate is primarily due to an unfavorable mix of earnings in higher tax rate jurisdictions.
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had income tax expense of $7.2 and $11.8, respectively, on Earnings before income taxes of $26.6 and $43.6, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended March 31, 2023 was 27.0% and 26.9%, respectively. The difference between the federal statutory rate and the effective rate was primarily due to an unfavorable mix of earnings in higher tax rate jurisdictions.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings per Share Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings per share is based on the number of shares used for the basic earnings per share calculation, adjusted for the dilutive effect of share options, restricted share equivalent (“RSE”) and performance restricted share equivalent (“PRSE”) awards.
The following is the reconciliation between the number of weighted-average shares used in the basic and diluted net earnings per share calculation:

Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life are not amortized but are instead reviewed annually for impairment or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. The Company’s annual impairment testing date is July 1. An interim impairment analysis may indicate that carrying amounts of goodwill and other intangible assets require adjustment or that remaining useful lives should be revised. The Company determined there were no triggering events requiring an interim impairment analysis during the three and six months ended March 31, 2024.

Transfers and Servicing [Abstract]  
Accounts receivable facility Accounts Receivable Facilities
The Company participates in accounts receivable facility programs both in the United States and Japan. These receivable agreements are between the Company and MUFG Bank, LTD, and the subsidiaries of both parties. Transfers under the accounts receivable repurchase agreements are accounted for as sales of accounts receivables, resulting in the receivables being derecognized from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The purchaser assumes the credit risk at the time of sale and has the right at any time to assign, transfer, or participate any of its rights under the purchased receivables to another bank or financial institution. The purchase and sale of receivables under accounts receivable repurchase agreements is intended to be an absolute and irrevocable transfer without recourse by the purchaser to the Company for the creditworthiness of any obligor. The Company has considered its performance obligation to collect and service the receivables sold in the United States and Japan
and has determined that the costs associated with such services are not material. The compensation received is considered acceptable servicing compensation and as such, the Company does not recognize a servicing asset or liability.
Accounts receivables sold were $316.4 and $532.5 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024, respectively, and $315.5 and $527.6 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, respectively. The trade receivables sold that remained outstanding as of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023 were $119.3 and $82.1, respectively. The net proceeds received were included in both Cash from operating activities and Cash used by investing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The difference between the carrying amount of the trade receivables sold and the sum of the cash received is recorded as a loss on sale of receivables in Other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The loss on sale of trade receivables was $1.6 and $2.8 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024, respectively. The loss on sale of trade receivables was $1.5 and $2.4 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, respectively.

The Company initiated the wind-up of its Canadian defined benefit pension plan (“Canada Plan”) in June 2021. On September 1, 2021, Edgewell Personal Care Canada ULC (“EPC Canada”) as administrator of the Canada Plan, entered into a buy-in annuity purchase agreement (“Buy-in Agreement”) with Brookfield Annuity Company (“Brookfield Annuity”) for certain members of the Canada Plan. On January 25, 2023, the Company received approval by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario to wind-up the Canada Plan. Upon regulatory approval of the Canada Plan, EPC Canada proceeded with purchasing annuities for the remaining Canada Plan participants and converting the Buy-in Agreement to a buy-out annuity purchase agreement (“Buy-out Agreement”), which was purchased and funded by the Canada Plan on March 31, 2023. The Company was relieved of its defined benefit pension obligation through its irrevocable commitment under the Buy-out Agreement. As of the settlement date, the Company remeasured its assets and its project benefit obligation associated with the Canada Plan. Upon settlement, the Company derecognized the assets, projected benefit obligation and losses remaining in accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with the Canada Plan. A loss of $7.2 was recorded in Other expense (income), net on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2023.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Financial Instruments and Risk Management Financial Instruments and Risk Management
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may enter into contractual arrangements (also referred to as derivatives) to reduce its exposure to foreign currency. The Company has master netting agreements with all of its counterparties that allow for the settlement of contracts in an asset position with contracts in a liability position in the event of default. The Company manages counterparty risk through the utilization of investment grade commercial banks, diversification of counterparties, and its counterparty netting arrangements. The section below outlines the types of derivatives in place as of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, as well as the Company’s objectives and strategies for holding derivative instruments.
Foreign Currency Risk
A significant share of the Company’s sales is tied to currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reporting currency. 
As such, a weakening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can have an unfavorable impact on reported earnings. Conversely, strengthening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can improve reported results. The primary currencies to which the Company is exposed include the euro, the Japanese yen, the British pound, the Canadian dollar, and the Australian dollar.
Additionally, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries enter into internal and external transactions that create non-functional currency balance sheet positions at the foreign subsidiary level. These exposures are generally the result of intercompany purchases, intercompany loans and, to a lesser extent, external purchases, and are revalued in the foreign subsidiary’s local currency at the end of each month. Changes in the value of the non-functional currency balance sheet positions in relation to the foreign subsidiary’s local currency results in an exchange gain or loss recorded in Other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The primary currency to which the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are exposed is the U.S. dollar.
Cash Flow Hedges
As of March 31, 2024, the Company maintains a cash flow hedging program related to foreign currency risk. These derivative instruments have a high correlation to the underlying exposure being hedged and have been deemed highly effective by the Company for accounting purposes in offsetting the associated risk.
The Company has forward currency contracts to hedge cash flow uncertainty associated with currency fluctuations. These transactions are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The Company had an unrealized pre-tax gain of $3.4 and an unrealized pre-tax gain of $4.4 as of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, on these forward currency contracts, which are accounted for as cash flow hedges and included in AOCI in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Assuming foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar remain at March 31, 2024 levels over the next 12 months, the majority of the pre-tax gain included in AOCI in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2024 is expected to be included in Other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. Contract maturities for these hedges extend into fiscal 2025. As of March 31, 2024, there were 64 open foreign currency contracts with a total notional value of $108.1.
Derivatives not Designated as Hedges
The Company has foreign currency derivative contracts, which are not designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes, to hedge balance sheet exposures. Any gains or losses on these contracts are expected to be offset by exchange gains or losses on the underlying exposures and, thus, are not expected to be subject to significant market risk. The change in the estimated fair value of the foreign currency contracts for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024, resulted in a gain of $1.7 and $0.6, respectively, compared to a gain of $2.4 and a loss of $0.3 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, and was recorded in Other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. As of March 31, 2024, there were two open foreign currency derivative contracts not designated as cash flow hedges with a total notional value of $9.0.

Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions or external inputs from inactive markets.
The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, which are carried at fair value and measured on a recurring basis during the period, all of which are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy:
March 31,
2024
September 30,
2023
Assets (Liabilities) at estimated fair value:  
Deferred compensation liability$(20.5)$(19.4)
Derivatives - foreign currency contracts asset2.2 5.6 
Net assets (liabilities) at estimated fair value$(18.3)$(13.8)
The estimated fair value of the deferred compensation liability is determined based upon the quoted market prices of the investment options that are offered under the plan. As of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the estimated fair value of foreign currency contracts is the amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts, considering first the quoted market prices of comparable agreements or, in the absence of quoted market prices, factors such as interest rates, currency exchange rates, and remaining maturities.
As of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the Company had no Level 1 financial assets or liabilities, other than pension plan assets, and no Level 3 financial assets or liabilities as of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.
As of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the fair market value of fixed rate long-term debt was $1,127.9 and $1,028.6, respectively, compared to its carrying value of $1,250.0 in each period. The estimated fair value of the long-term debt was estimated using yields obtained from independent pricing sources for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The estimated fair value of long-term debt, excluding the Company’s credit agreement, dated as of March 28, 2020, by and among, inter alia, the Company, the subsidiaries of the Company from time to time parties thereto, the lenders from time to time parties thereto, MUFG, as syndication agent, TD as joint lead arranger and BofA, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), has been determined based on Level 2 inputs.
Due to the nature of cash and cash equivalents and short-term borrowings, including notes payable, the carrying amounts on the balance sheets approximate fair value. Additionally, the carrying amounts of the Revolving Credit Facility, which are classified as long-term debt on the balance sheet, approximate fair value due to the revolving nature of the balances.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Data Segment Data
For an overview of the Company’s segments, refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Segment performance is evaluated based on segment profit, excluding certain U.S. GAAP items that management does not believe are indicative of ongoing operating performance due to their unusual or non-recurring nature and which may have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on the Company’s financial results in any particular period. Financial items, such as interest income and expense, are managed on a global basis at the corporate level and therefore are excluded from segment profit. The exclusion of such charges from segment results reflects management’s view on how management monitors and evaluates segment operating performance, generates future operating plans and makes strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital.
The Company’s operating model includes some shared business functions across the segments, including product warehousing and distribution, transaction processing functions and, in most cases, combined sales force and management teams. The Company applies a fully allocated cost basis in which shared business functions are allocated between the segments.

Legal Proceedings
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to a number of legal proceedings in various jurisdictions arising out of its operations during the ordinary course of business. Many of these legal matters are in preliminary stages and involve complex issues of law and fact and may proceed for protracted periods of time. The amount of liability, if any, from these proceedings cannot be determined with certainty. The Company reviews its legal proceedings and claims, regulatory reviews and inspections and other legal proceedings on an ongoing basis and follows appropriate accounting guidance when making accrual and disclosure decisions. The Company establishes accruals for those contingencies when the incurrence of a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated and discloses the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued if such disclosure is necessary for its financial statements to not be misleading. The Company does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable, but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated. Based upon present information, the Company believes that its liability, if any, arising from such pending legal proceedings, asserted legal claims, and known potential legal claims which are likely to be asserted, is not reasonably likely to be material to its financial position, results of operations or cash flows, when taking into account established accruals for estimated liabilities.

Basis of Accounting, Policy
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) under the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The preparation of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement have been included in the interim results reported. The fiscal year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but do not include all of the annual disclosures required by GAAP; accordingly, these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 28, 2023.
Certain immaterial prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s presentation.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures to update income tax disclosure requirements primarily by requiring specific categories and greater disaggregation within the rate reconciliation and disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The amendments in the ASU also remove disclosures related to certain unrecognized tax benefits and deferred taxes. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively with early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of the requirements on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures to expand reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in the ASU require that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to an entity's chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), a description of other segment items by reportable segment, and any additional measures of a segment's profit or loss used by the CODM when deciding how to allocate resources. Annual disclosures are required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Interim disclosures are required for periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Retrospective application is required for all prior periods presented with early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of the requirements on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-04, "Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations" which requires that a buyer in a supplier finance program disclose additional information about the program for financial statement users including a rollforward of those obligations. The Company adopted the standard as of October 1, 2023, except for amendments relating to the rollforward requirement, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023.
The Company has agreements with its suppliers in the ordinary course of business for such supplier finance programs which facilitate participating suppliers’ ability to finance payment obligations of the Company with designated third-party financial institutions. The Company is not a party to the arrangements between the suppliers and the third-party financial institutions. The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by suppliers’ decisions to finance amounts under these arrangements. The payment terms under the programs range from 60 to 120 days. As of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, $22.8 and $21.8, respectively, were valid obligations under the various programs. The obligations are presented as Accounts payable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Comparability of Prior Year Financial Data, Policy
Revision of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements
As previously disclosed in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 28, 2023, the Company evaluated aged accrued expenditures related to goods received but not yet invoiced by certain of its vendors (“GRNI”). Based upon an assessment, including evaluating the expiry of the applicable statute of limitations of the accrued expenditures, the Company concluded that $8.5 of aged accrued GRNI originating in years 2014 through 2018 were no longer required to be reflected as accounts payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2023 and should have been reversed in prior fiscal years. The Company concluded that the misstatements were not material, either individually or in the aggregate, to its previously issued consolidated financial statements.
To correct the immaterial misstatements, the Company has revised the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity for the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended March 31, 2023, as well as the associated Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to reflect the corrections of these immaterial misstatements as of and for the three and six months ended March 31, 2023. There were no changes to previously issued total cash flows generated from (used by) operating, investing, or financing activities for six months ended March 31, 2023.
The following table reflects the revisions to the previously issued Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2023:

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]  
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to a number of legal proceedings in various jurisdictions arising out of its operations during the ordinary course of business. Many of these legal matters are in preliminary stages and involve complex issues of law and fact and may proceed for protracted periods of time. The amount of liability, if any, from these proceedings cannot be determined with certainty. The Company reviews its legal proceedings and claims, regulatory reviews and inspections and other legal proceedings on an ongoing basis and follows appropriate accounting guidance when making accrual and disclosure decisions. The Company establishes accruals for those contingencies when the incurrence of a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated and discloses the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued if such disclosure is necessary for its financial statements to not be misleading. The Company does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable, but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated. Based upon present information, the Company believes that its liability, if any, arising from such pending legal proceedings, asserted legal claims, and known potential legal claims which are likely to be asserted, is not reasonably likely to be material to its financial position, results of operations or cash flows, when taking into account established accruals for estimated liabilities.
