TARRYTOWN, N.Y., Nov. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. (NYSE:PBH) today reported financial results for its second quarter and first half fiscal 2027 ended September 30, 2026.

“We were pleased with our second quarter and first half revenue and EPS performance, driven by continued strength in our leading brands and strong early contributions from the Breathe Right® portfolio and LaCorium acquisitions that closed in June and July, respectively. Our portfolio performed in line with our expectations, with strong consumption growth across channels including eCommerce. This translated into strong mid-single-digit earnings growth and sets us up for continued strong free cash flow moving forward,” said Ron Lombardi, Chief Executive Officer of Prestige Consumer Healthcare.

Second Fiscal Quarter Ended September 30, 2026

Reported revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2027 of $336.3 million increased 22.7% from $274.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, but decreased 1.6% excluding the impacts of foreign currency and a $65.1 million contribution from the acquisition of the Breathe Right® portfolio and LaCorium. The organic revenue performance versus the prior year comparable period reflected the expected headwind associated with order timing in Q1 and a decline in Clear Eyes®.

Reported net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 totaled $25.3 million, or $0.53 in diluted earnings per share, compared to $42.2 million, or $0.86 in diluted earnings per share, for the comparable period of fiscal 2026. On an adjusted non-GAAP basis, second quarter fiscal 2027 net income totaled $53.8 million, or $1.13 in diluted earnings per share, versus $52.5 million in net income and $1.07 in diluted earnings per share in the prior year comparable period.

Adjustments to net income in the second 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, a loss on extinguishment of debt, associated tax adjustments and a normalized tax adjustment pertaining to the establishment of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. The adjustment to the second quarter of fiscal 2026 relates to a discrete tax item pertaining to establishing a taxable presence in a new state.

Six Months Ended September 30, 2026

Reported revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2027 totaled $602.0 million and compared to revenues of $523.6 million for the first six months of fiscal 2026. Revenues increased 15.0% versus the prior year comparable period and 0.7% excluding the impact of foreign currency and a $71.0 million contribution from the acquisition of the Breathe Right® portfolio and LaCorium. The organic revenue increase for the first six months reflected increased demand across the broad portfolio which more than offset a decline in Clear Eyes®.

Reported net income for the first six months of fiscal 2027 totaled $54.5 million versus the prior year comparable period net income of $89.7 million. Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the first six months of fiscal 2027 totaled $100.3 million versus the prior year comparable period’s adjusted net income of $99.9 million. Diluted earnings per share were $1.14 for the first six months of fiscal 2027 compared to $1.81 per share in the prior year comparable period. Non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share of $2.11 for the first six months of fiscal 2027 increased over the prior year comparable period’s adjusted diluted earnings per share of $2.02.

Adjustments to net income in the first six months 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, as well as a loss on extinguishment of debt, associated tax adjustments, and a normalized tax adjustment pertaining to the establishment of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. The adjustment to the first six months of fiscal 2026 relates to a discrete tax item pertaining to establishing a taxable presence in a new state.

Free Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

The Company's net cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of fiscal 2027 was $108.7 million, compared to $136.5 million during the prior year comparable period. Non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow in the first six months of fiscal 2027 was $123.0 million compared to $133.6 million in the prior year comparable period.

The Company's net debt position as of September 30, 2026 was approximately $2 billion. On July 15, 2026, the Company issued $400 million of new 6.25% senior notes due July 2034, which replaced the same principal of senior notes previously due in fiscal 2028.

Segment Review

North American OTC Healthcare: Segment revenues of $271.8 million for the second quarter fiscal 2027 increased 17.8% compared to the prior year comparable quarter's segment revenues of $230.8 million. The revenue increase was driven by a $47.5 million contribution from the acquisitions of the Breathe Right® portfolio and LaCorium, partially offset by lower base business sales associated with accelerated order timing in first quarter fiscal 2027.

For the first six months of the current fiscal year, reported revenues for the North American OTC segment were $498.0 million, which compared to $443.3 million in the prior year comparable period.
The revenue increase was primarily driven by a $52.0 million contribution from the acquisitions of the Breathe Right® portfolio and LaCorium, as well as higher CompoundW® and TheraTears® sales.

International OTC Healthcare: Fiscal second quarter 2027 segment revenues of $64.5 million increased 48.7% compared to $43.4 million reported in the prior year comparable period. The revenue performance was primarily driven by a $17.6 million contribution from the acquisitions of the Breathe Right® portfolio and LaCorium, as well as double-digit sales growth for Hydralyte®.

For the first six months of the current fiscal year, reported revenues for the International OTC Healthcare segment were $104.0 million, an increase of approximately 30% over the prior year comparable period’s revenues of $80.3 million. Strong revenue growth was primarily driven by a $19.0 million contribution from the acquisitions of the Breathe Right® portfolio and LaCorium, as well as continued growth for Hydralyte®.

Updated Fiscal 2027 Outlook

Ron Lombardi, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are updating our fiscal 2027 outlook for revenues to $1,280 million to $1,290 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $4.48 to $4.55 primarily to reflect recent variability in Clear Eyes® production at Pillar5, which is expected to reduce product availability and revenue in the second half. While supply remains limited for Clear Eyes®, we continue to invest in our Pillar5 production site with the intent of delivering consistent quality output that generates long-term growth for the brand."

"It's important to note that our outlook for the remainder of the portfolio is unchanged, with the base business delivering growth and our recent acquisitions on track to deliver sales and profit consistent with our prior guidance. Against a challenging consumer environment, this is a testament to our trusted brands and diversified business model."

"We remain confident in our business, the strategic investments we have made over the past twelve months, and our medium-term outlook for approximately 10% annual revenue growth, approximately 8% annual EPS growth, and nearly $900 million of aggregate free cash flow over the next three years. The acquisitions of Breathe Right® and LaCorium provide attractive long-term growth opportunities as we integrate these brands into our portfolio. The acquisition of Pillar5 will provide vertical integration of our eye care supply chain and an important platform for continued investment in capacity, reliability and long-term growth. Together, these investments further strengthen our diversified portfolio and financial profile while supporting strong free cash flow, debt reduction and future capital deployment," 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,” “set up,” "expect," “on track,” "anticipate,” “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, adjusted diluted earnings per share, and adjusted free cash flow; supply of Clear Eyes® and return to category leadership; the expected impact of Breathe Right® and LaCorium Health acquisitions on the Company’s sales and profit; the Company’s ability to rapidly reduce debt; 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 and ordering patterns, 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. A discussion of other factors that could cause results to vary is included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2026 and other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial results reported in accordance with GAAP, we disclose certain Non-GAAP financial measures ("NGFMs"), including, but not limited to, Non-GAAP Organic Revenues, Non-GAAP Organic Revenue Change Percentage, Non-GAAP 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:

• Non-GAAP Organic Revenues: GAAP Total Revenues excluding revenues associated with acquisitions and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates in the periods presented.
• Non-GAAP Organic Revenue Change Percentage: Calculated as the change in Non-GAAP Organic Revenues from prior year divided by prior year Non-GAAP Organic Revenues.
• Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Margin: GAAP Gross Profit minus amortization of inventory fair value step-up, acquired facility remediation, period overhead and idle capacity costs.
• Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Margin Percentage: Calculated as Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Margin divided by GAAP Total Revenues.
• Non-GAAP Adjusted General and Administrative Expense: GAAP General and Administrative expenses minus costs associated with acquisitions.
• Non-GAAP Adjusted General and Administrative Expense Percentage: Calculated as Non-GAAP Adjusted General and Administrative expense divided by GAAP Total Revenues.
• Non-GAAP EBITDA: GAAP Net Income before interest expense, net, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization.
• Non-GAAP EBITDA Margin: Calculated as Non-GAAP EBITDA divided by GAAP Total Revenues.
• Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA: Non-GAAP EBITDA before amortization of inventory fair value step‑up, acquired facility remediation, period overhead and idle capacity costs, costs associated with acquisitions, and loss on extinguishment of debt.
• Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA Margin: Calculated as Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA divided by GAAP Total Revenues.
• Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income: GAAP Net Income before amortization of inventory fair value step-up, depreciation of idle assets during remediation period, acquired facility remediation, period overhead and idle capacity costs, costs associated with acquisitions in General and Administrative Expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, applicable tax impact associated with these items and normalized tax rate adjustments.
• Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted EPS: Calculated as Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income, divided by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.
• Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow: Calculated as GAAP Net cash provided by operating activities less cash paid for capital expenditures.
• Non-GAAP Adjusted Free Cash Flow: Non-GAAP free cash flow plus acquisition and other costs paid.
• Net Debt: Calculated as total principal amount of debt outstanding ($2,110,000 at September 30, 2026) less cash and cash equivalents ($46,515 at September 30, 2026). Amounts in thousands.
  
  

The following tables set forth the reconciliations of each of our NGFMs (other than Net Debt, which is reconciled above) to their most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliation of GAAP Total Revenues to Non-GAAP Organic Revenues and related Non-GAAP Organic Revenue Change percentage:

(a) Revenues associated with our Breathe Right® portfolio and LaCorium Health acquisitions are excluded for purposes of calculating Non-GAAP organic revenues. These revenue adjustments relate to our North America and International OTC Healthcare segments.

Reconciliation of GAAP Gross Profit to Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Margin and related Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Margin percentage:

(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.

Reconciliation of GAAP General and Administrative Expense and related GAAP General and Administrative Expense percentage to Non-GAAP Adjusted General and Administrative expense and related Non-GAAP Adjusted General and Administrative Expense percentage:

(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:

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

Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income and GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share to Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income and related Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share:

(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.
(e) Income tax adjustments to adjust for discrete income tax items.
Note: Amounts may not add due to rounding.

Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow and Non-GAAP Adjusted Free Cash Flow:

Outlook for Fiscal Year 2027:

Reconciliation of Projected GAAP Net cash provided by operating activities to Projected Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow and Projected Non-GAAP Adjusted Free Cash Flow:

Reconciliation of Projected GAAP Diluted EPS to Projected Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted EPS (a):

(a) The above reconciliation of this forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure only includes adjustments for Q1 and Q2 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.
