Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. Reports Fiscal 2027 First Quarter Results

TARRYTOWN, N.Y., Aug. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. (NYSE:PBH) today reported financial results for its first quarter fiscal 2027 ended June 30, 2026.

“First quarter performance exceeded our sales and earnings expectations, helped by strength across multiple categories that more than offset a challenging consumer backdrop and Clear Eyes® variability. We were also pleased to close the Breathe Right® acquisition late in the quarter, which added an incremental $6 million in revenue and is positioned well for long-term growth. These strong business results generated robust record adjusted free cash flow in the first quarter, leaving us well positioned to rapidly deleverage in the quarters ahead,” said Ron Lombardi, Chief Executive Officer of Prestige Consumer Healthcare.

First Fiscal Quarter Ended June 30, 2026

Reported revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 of $265.7 million increased 6.5% from $249.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and increased 3.2% excluding the impacts of foreign currency and a $5.9 million contribution from the acquisition of Breathe Right® and its associated portfolio of brands. The revenue performance versus the prior year comparable period reflected strong organic growth in the Gastrointestinal and Dermatological categories as well as an increase in revenues associated with the acquisition of the Breathe Right® brand and its associated portfolio.

Reported net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 totaled $29.2 million, or $0.61 in earnings per diluted share, compared to $47.5 million, or $0.95 in diluted earnings per share, for the comparable period. On an adjusted non-GAAP basis first quarter fiscal 2027 net income totaled $46.5 million, or $0.98 in diluted earnings per share.

Adjustments to net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 included certain costs associated with acquisitions including integration, transition, purchase accounting, legal and various other costs, such as costs associated with improving and optimizing the acquired Pillar5 facility for increases in long-term capacity, and associated tax adjustments.

Free Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

The Company's net cash provided by operating activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 was $70.8 million, compared to $79.0 million during the prior year comparable period. Non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 of $83.7 million increased compared to $78.2 million in the prior year first quarter. The material increase in free cash flow was attributable to the timing of working capital.

The Company's net debt position as of June 30, 2026 was approximately $2 billion. Subsequent to the quarter, on July 15, 2026 the Company issued $400 million of new 6.25% senior notes due 2034 which replaced the same principal of senior notes previously due in fiscal 2028. The new notes extend the maturity of the amount to July 15, 2034 moving the Company’s closest debt maturity to 2031.

Segment Review

In the fiscal first quarter 2027, the Company established a new product category, Wellness, Sleep & Other, and renamed certain existing product categories to help best incorporate the brands acquired in the Breathe Right® transaction.

North American OTC Healthcare: Segment revenues of $226.2 million for the first quarter fiscal 2027 increased 6.4% compared to the prior year comparable quarter's segment revenues of $212.6 million. The revenue increase was broad-based and included strong organic sales growth in the Gastrointestinal, Dermatological, and Cough, Cold & Allergy categories, as well as an increase in the newly created Wellness, Sleep & Other category from the acquisition of the Breathe Right® brand.

International OTC Healthcare: Fiscal first quarter 2027 segment revenues of $39.5 million increased 6.9% compared to $37.0 million reported in the prior year comparable period. The revenue performance was primarily driven by a $1.4 million contribution from the acquisition of the Breathe Right® brand.

Updated Fiscal 2027 Outlook

Ron Lombardi, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our strong initial first quarter performance gives us momentum in both revenue and earnings for full-year fiscal 2027. Our consumption remains healthy for our leading, trusted brands, and we continue to emphasize our proven marketing tactics to succeed in a challenging consumer environment. In addition, our portfolio diversity and business attributes leave us well positioned to manage the continued volatile supply for Clear Eyes®.”

“We are very excited about our recently closed Breathe Right portfolio and LaCorium Health acquisitions in mid-June and July, respectively, and both bring strong long-term growth prospects. Breathe Right® is a category-defining, global brand in the attractive better-breathing space, where we expect to grow the category domestically while expanding the brand's international presence. LaCorium's Dermal Therapy® brand is a leader in therapeutic skin care in Australia, and we anticipate strong sales growth under the Prestige Consumer Healthcare business model, driven by category growth, innovation, and continued geographic expansion."

“We are raising our fiscal 2027 financial outlook for both revenue and EPS, entirely to account for the addition of these two businesses. These acquisitions add nearly 20% to our revenue base and we expect the acquisitions to become increasingly accretive to profitability and cash flow as we move past the near-term and begin to realize business synergies and our brand growth objectives,” Mr. Lombardi concluded.

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Information

In addition to financial results reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we have provided certain non-GAAP financial information in this release to aid investors in understanding the Company's performance. Each non-GAAP financial measure is defined and reconciled to its most closely related GAAP financial measure in the “About Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section at the end of this earnings release.

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,” “momentum,” "expect," “look forward,” "anticipate,” “increasingly,” “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 adjusted free cash flow; consumption trends; the expected impact of Breathe Right® and LaCorium Health acquisitions on the Company’s revenue and cash flow; and the Company’s ability to manage through the current environment through its business strategy and diverse product portfolio. 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, 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.

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 Adjusted Gross Margin, Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Margin Percentage, Non-GAAP Adjusted General and Administrative Expense, Non-GAAP Adjusted General and Administrative Expense Percentage, Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP EBITDA Margin, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income, Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted EPS, Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow, Non-GAAP Adjusted 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:

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.

(a) Revenues of our OTC Wellness Business acquisition are excluded for purposes of calculating Non-GAAP organic revenues. These revenue adjustments relate to our North America and International OTC Healthcare segments.

(a) Represents manufacturing and administrative overhead incurred during a remediation period following the acquisition of Pillar5, during which production was significantly constrained. As a result, normal overhead absorption levels were not achieved, leading to elevated unit costs. Management believes these costs are not indicative of the Company’s expected ongoing operating cost structure once the facility is fully remediated and operating at normal production levels.

(a) Costs related to the consummation of the acquisition process such as legal and other acquisition-related professional fees.

Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Non-GAAP EBITDA and related Non-GAAP EBITDA Margin, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA and related Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA Margin:

(b) Costs related to the consummation of the acquisition process such as legal and other acquisition-related professional fees.

(a) Represents depreciation expense recorded during the remediation period following the acquisition of Pillar5, during which certain production lines were not operating. Management believes this depreciation is not reflective of expected ongoing depreciation levels once the facility is fully remediated and operating at normal production levels.

(b) Represents manufacturing and administrative overhead incurred during a remediation period following the acquisition of Pillar5, during which production was significantly constrained. As a result, normal overhead absorption levels were not achieved, leading to elevated unit costs. Management believes these costs are not indicative of the Company’s expected ongoing operating cost structure once the facility is fully remediated and operating at normal production levels.

(c) Costs related to the consummation of the acquisition process such as legal and other acquisition-related professional fees.

(d) The income tax adjustments are determined using applicable rates in the taxing jurisdictions in which the above adjustments relate and includes both current and deferred income tax expense (benefit) based on the specific nature of specific Non-GAAP performance measure.

Note: Amounts may not add due to rounding.

Outlook for Fiscal Year 2027:

(a ) The above reconciliation of this forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure only includes adjustments for Q1 2027 and does not include additional adjustments for the remainder of fiscal 2027. These future adjustments are highly uncertain, given the significant variability and difficulty in making accurate projections of the adjustments related to the Breathe Right portfolio and LaCorium Health acquisitions and the costs associated with Pillar5 manufacturing optimization and integration. As a result, the Company is unable to quantify those future adjustments, which are likely significant, without unreasonable efforts.
