(NYSE: EPC)Edgewell Personal Care Companytoday announced results for its fourth fiscal quarter 2025 and fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. SHELTON, Conn.Nov. 13, 2025

Executive Summary

The Company reports and forecasts results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis and has reconciled non-GAAP results and outlook to the most directly comparable GAAP measures later in this release. See non-GAAP Financial Measures for a more detailed explanation, including definitions of various non-GAAP terms used in this release. All comparisons used in this release are for the same period in the prior fiscal year unless otherwise stated.

"Fiscal 2025 was a year of challenge and transformation. While both external and internal pressures impacted our results, we exited the year with encouraging momentum—marked by improving sales and market share trends and a revitalized brand portfolio," said Rod Little, Edgewell's President and Chief Executive Officer. "International markets continued to deliver durable growth, we made meaningful strides in driving further productivity and advanced our innovation agenda with consumer-led launches across key regions. As we enter fiscal 2026, we're focused on execution, margin recovery, and delivering sustainable shareholder value. Importantly, we believe Edgewell now has the team, structure, and capabilities in place to return to organic sales growth in 2026, with accelerated growth in the second half of 2026 and into 2027. Our decision to divest the Feminine Care business marks a pivotal step in transforming Edgewell into a more focused, agile and consumer-driven personal care company."

Fiscal 4Q 2025 Operating Results (Unaudited)

were $537.2 million in the quarter, an increase of $19.6 million, or 3.8%, including a $6.7 million, or 1.3% favorable impact from currency movements. Organic net sales increased $12.9 million, or 2.5%. Organic growth in international markets was 6.9%, largely driven by both volume and price gains, seen across Wet Shave, Feminine Care, and Sun & Skin Care. Organic sales declined in North America by 0.6%, as volume gains were more than offset by increased promotional levels in Sun & Skin Care.Net sales

Adjusted gross margin as a percent of net sales decreased 330-basis points, to 39.3% in the quarter, inclusive of approximately 120-basis points of negative impact from currency movements. At constant currency, adjusted gross margin decreased 210-basis points. Productivity savings of approximately 80-basis points and favorable absorption of 60-basis points were more than offset by approximately 180-basis points of unfavorable mix and other, 100-basis points from tariffs, 45-basis points from core inflations, and 25-basis points from increased promotional levels (net of pricing).Gross profitGross margin

was $50.5 million, or 9.4% of net sales, an increase of $6.4 million, compared to $44.1 million, or 8.5% of net sales in the prior year quarter. Advertising and sales promotion expense ("A&P")

Adjusted operating income was $40.3 million, or 7.5% of net sales, compared to $56.0 million, or 10.8% of net sales in the prior year quarter. The decrease in adjusted operating income margin was primarily attributable to lower gross margin and higher brand investment. Operating (loss) income,

The decrease in interest expense was primarily the result of higher capitalized interest for projects with capital expenditures, partially offset by higher borrowing levels on the Company's U.S. revolving credit facility.Interest expense associated with debt
