Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SPB; “Spectrum Brands” or the “Company”), a leading global branded consumer products and home essentials company focused on driving innovation and providing exceptional customer service, today reported results from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 ended December 28, 2025.

"We are pleased with our results this quarter, particularly that our most profitable and largest Adjusted EBITDA contributing business, Global Pet Care, returned to growth. Our Net Sales and Adjusted EBITDA exceeded expectations despite the ongoing macroeconomic challenges that continue to impact overall consumer demand. These results reinforce the effectiveness of our strategic initiatives and validate our belief that the difficult, but necessary, steps we implemented in fiscal 2025 were indeed the right course of action. Looking forward, we will continue to remain disciplined in the execution of our strategy, understanding that significant work still lies ahead,” said David Maura, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Spectrum Brands.

Mr. Maura continued, "we remain confident that Global Pet Care and Home & Garden will return to growth this fiscal year while we continue to improve the fundamentals of our Home & Personal Care business, and deliver improved profitability across all three businesses. We are reiterating our earnings framework of flat to low single digit revenue growth and low single digit adjusted EBITDA growth in fiscal 26."

Mr. Maura concluded, "We continue to believe our strong balance sheet, positive cash flow, and low leverage are a competitive advantage in an evolving M&A landscape, and that we are uniquely positioned to act as the M&A partner of choice for high-quality, synergistic assets in our sector. We believe that we can accelerate long-term growth through strategic M&A while remaining diligent and disciplined in our evaluation of these opportunities.”

Fiscal 2026 FirstQuarter Highlights

Fiscal 2026 First Quarter Segment Level Data

Global Pet Care (GPC)

Net sales increased 8.3%. Excluding favorable foreign currency impacts, organic net sales increased 5.8%. Sales in Companion Animal increased high single digits while sales in Aquatics increased low double digits. North American net sales in both categories were favorably impacted by a strategic shift of orders by retailers in the prior fiscal year. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign currency, organic net sales in the EMEA Companion Animal category declined. This decrease was primarily due to the timing of orders in Dog and Cat Food, which was affected by a new product launch in the prior fiscal year. This was partially offset by the continued strength of the GoodBoy brand. Aquatics organic net sales increased in EMEA driven by Tetra brand strength and a softer prior year comparison.

Adjusted EBITDA of $49.0 million decreased from $51.5 million in the prior year, and adjusted EBITDA margins were 17.4% compared to 19.8% in the prior year. The decline in adjusted EBITDA is due to higher tariff cost, inflation, and additional trade and investment spend partially offset by higher sales volume, pricing and cost improvement actions.

Home & Garden (H&G)

Net sales decreased 19.8% and organic net sales decreased 19.8% due to an accelerated seasonal inventory build by certain retailers in the prior year, impacting all pest control categories.

Adjusted EBITDA of $4.5 million decreased from $9.3 million in the prior year, and adjusted EBITDA margins of 6.1% compared to 10.1% in the prior year primarily due to lower sales volume partially offset by productivity improvements and operational efficiencies.

Home & Personal Care (HPC)

Net sales decreased 7.6%. Excluding favorable foreign currency impacts, organic net sales decreased 11.1%. Net sales in Personal Care were down mid single digits and net sales in Home Appliances were down high single digits. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign currency, organic net sales in EMEA declined across both Home Appliances and Personal Care with continued category demand softness. EMEA sales were also impacted by higher retailer inventory levels at a key retailer. LATAM organic net sales increased high teens, with growth in both categories. North American net sales percent declined in the mid teens, primarily driven by lower volumes in both categories in light of increased product cost from higher tariffs.

Adjusted EBITDA was $20.7 million compared to $26.7 million in the prior year, and adjusted EBITDA margins declined to 6.4% compared to 7.7% last year, driven by lower volumes and higher tariff costs partially offset by pricing, reduced investment spend, cost improvement initiatives, and favorable foreign exchange.

Liquidity and Debt

As of the end of the quarter, the Company had a cash balance of $126.6 million and total liquidity of $618.8 million, including undrawn capacity on its cash flow revolver of $492.2 million. The Company also had $578.9 million of debt outstanding, with no outstanding borrowings on the revolver, senior unsecured notes of $496.1 million and finance leases of $82.8 million. The Company ended the quarter with net debt of $452.3 million.

Fiscal 2026 Earnings Framework

The Company expects to deliver flat to low single digit growth in reported net sales in fiscal 2026. Fiscal 2026 adjusted EBITDA is expected to increase by low single digits. Adjusted free cash flow is expected to be approximately 50% of adjusted EBITDA.

The Company continues to target a long-term net leverage ratio of 2.0 - 2.5 times.

Non-GAAP Measurements

Our consolidated results contain non-GAAP metrics such as organic net sales, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted EPS and adjusted Free Cash Flow. While we believe organic net sales and adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted EPS and adjusted Free Cash Flow are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace our financial results in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and should be read in conjunction with those GAAP results.

Organic Net Sales - We define organic net sales as net sales excluding the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and impact from acquisitions (where applicable). We believe this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors because it reflects regional and operating segment performance from our activities without the effect of changes in currency exchange rates and acquisitions. We use organic net sales as one measure to monitor and evaluate our regional and segment performance. Organic growth is calculated by comparing organic net sales to net sales in the prior year. The effect of changes in currency exchange rates is determined by translating the current period net sales using the currency exchange rates that were in effect during the prior comparative period. Net sales are attributed to the geographic regions based on the country of destination. We exclude net sales from acquired businesses in the current year for which there are no comparable sales in the prior period.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin - Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP metrics used by management, which we believe are useful to investors to measure the operational strength and performance of our business. These metrics provide investors additional information about our operating profitability for certain non-cash items, non-routine items we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future, as well as other items not core to our continuing operations. By providing these measures, together with a reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP measure, we believe we are enhancing investors' understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives, as securities analysts and other interested parties use such calculations as a measure of financial performance and debt service capabilities, and they are regularly used by management and our Board of Directors for internal purposes in evaluating our business performance, making budgeting decisions, and comparing our performance against other peer companies using similar measures. They facilitate comparisons between peer companies since interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA is also used for determining compliance with the Company’s debt covenants. EBITDA is calculated by excluding the Company’s income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation expense and amortization expense (from intangible assets) from net income from continuing operations. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes certain non-cash adjustments including share based compensation; impairment charges on property, plant and equipment, right of use lease assets, and goodwill and other intangible assets; gain or loss from the early extinguishment of debt; and purchase accounting adjustments recognized in income subsequent to an acquisition attributable to the step-up in value on assets acquired. Additionally, the Company will further recognize adjustments from adjusted EBITDA for other costs, gains and losses that are considered significant, non-recurring, or otherwise not supporting the continuing operations and revenue generating activity of the segment or Company, including but not limited to, exit and disposal activities, or incremental costs associated with strategic transactions, restructuring and optimization initiatives such as the acquisition or divestiture of a business, related integration or separation costs, or the development and implementation of strategies to optimize or restructure the Company and its operations. Adjusted EBITDA margin is adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of reported net sales.

Adjusted EPS - Management uses adjusted EPS as one means of analyzing the Company’s current and future financial performance and identifying trends in its financial condition and results of operations. Management believes that adjusted EPS is a useful measure for providing further insight into our operating performance because it eliminates the effects of certain items that are not comparable from one period to the next. By providing these measures, together with a reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP measure, we believe we are enhancing investors' understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives, as securities analysts and other interested parties use such calculations as a measure of financial performance, and they are regularly used by management and our Board of Directors for internal purposes in evaluating our business performance, making budgeting decisions, and comparing our performance against other peer companies using similar measures. Adjusted EPS is calculated by excluding the effect of certain adjustments from diluted EPS, including non-cash adjustments including impairment charges on property, plant and equipment, operating and finance lease assets, and goodwill and other intangible assets; gain or loss from the early extinguishment of debt; and purchase accounting adjustments recognized in income subsequent to an acquisition attributable to the step-up in value on assets acquired. Additionally, the Company will further recognize adjustments from diluted EPS for other costs, gains and losses that are considered significant, non-recurring, or otherwise not supporting the continuing operations and revenue generating activity of the segment or Company, including but not limited to, exit and disposal activities, or incremental costs associated with strategic transactions, restructuring and optimization initiatives such as the acquisition or divestiture of a business, related integration or separation costs, or the development and implementation of strategies to optimize or restructure the Company and its operations. Adjusted EPS is further impacted by the effect on the income tax provision from adjustments made to reported diluted EPS.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow - Management uses adjusted free cash flow as a means of analyzing the Company's operating results and evaluating cash flow generation from its revenue generating activities, excluding certain cash flow activity associated with strategic transactions and other costs and receipts attributable to non-recurring events. Management believes that adjusted free cash flow is a useful measure in understanding cash flow conversion associated with the Company's operations that is available for acquisitions and other investments, service of debt, dividends and share repurchases and meetings its working capital requirements. By providing these measures, together with a reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP measure, we believe we are enhancing investors' understanding of our business, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are generating cash flow from operations, as securities analysts and other interested parties use such calculations as a measure of financial performance, and they are regularly used by management and our Board of Directors for internal purposes in evaluating our business performance, making budgeting decisions, and comparing our performance against other peer companies using similar measures. Free cash flow is calculated by excluding capital expenditures from cash flow provided (used) by operating activities and further adjusted for non-operating strategic transaction costs and other non-recurring or unusual cash flow activity that would otherwise be considered operating cash flow under US GAAP. Cash flow conversion is adjusted free cash flow as a percentage of adjusted EBITDA.

The Company provides this information to investors to assist in comparisons of past, present and future operating results and to assist in highlighting the results of on-going operations. While the Company’s management believes that non-GAAP measurements are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace the Company’s GAAP financial results and should be read in conjunction with those GAAP results. Other Supplemental Information has been provided to demonstrate reconciliation of non-GAAP measurements discussed above to most relevant GAAP financial measurements.

Net sales decreased 3.3% with a decrease in organic net sales of 6.0%, which excludes the impact of $18.5 million of favorable foreign exchange rates. The net sales decline was primarily due to continued category demand softness and the impact of an accelerated seasonal inventory build by some Home and Garden customers in the prior year. This was partially offset by our Global Pet Care business returning to growth with our key Companion Animal brands outperforming the market while also benefiting from a softer prior-year comparison
Gross profit and margin decreased from lower volume, higher trade spend, and higher tariff cost, partially offset by pricing, cost improvement actions, operational efficiencies and favorable foreign exchange.
Operating income decreased due to the decline in gross profit.
Net income from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share increased driven by lower taxes from a one-time tax benefit and lower share count partially offset by lower operating income.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased 19.5% and adjusted EBITDA margin decreased 190 basis points driven by lower volume and reduced gross margins, primarily due to tariff related disruptions.
Adjusted diluted EPS increased to $1.40 due to lower income tax and a reduction in outstanding shares, partially offset by lower adjusted EBITDA.
