TARRYTOWN, N.Y., May 04, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. (NYSE:PBH) today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.

“We are pleased to exceed our fourth quarter and full-year fiscal 2023 guidance, which included organic growth above our long-term outlook and continued leverage reduction approaching 3.0x at year-end. Our consistent business performance for the full year is a result of our proven business strategy and the benefits of a diverse portfolio of brands in a dynamic consumer and retail environment. These attributes give us confidence in our business outlook for fiscal 2024 and our ability to drive shareholder value,” said Ron Lombardi, Chief Executive Officer of Prestige Consumer Healthcare.

Fourth Fiscal Quarter Ended March 31, 2023

Reported revenues in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 of $285.9 million increased 7.1% from $266.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Revenues increased 8.0% excluding the impact of foreign currency. The strong revenue performance for the quarter was broad based across North America and International OTC segments versus the prior year comparable period.

Reported net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 was $240.6 million versus the prior year comparable quarter’s net income of $52.1 million. Diluted loss per share of $4.83 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $1.02 diluted earnings per share in the prior year comparable period. Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 was $53.7 million and compared to the prior year period’s adjusted net income of $46.3 million. Non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share of $1.07 per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $0.91 per share in the prior year comparable period.

Adjustments to net income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 include non-cash tradename impairments associated primarily with the Company’s DenTek, Summer’s Eve, and TheraTears brand names, goodwill impairments and associated tax adjustments. These impairments were due mostly to the impact of higher discount rate assumptions. The brands continue to generate value and remain important components of the Company’s brand portfolio and are well positioned for long-term growth. The adjustment to net income in both fourth quarter fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2023 reflects a tax rate adjustment to account for discrete items.

Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2023

Reported revenues for the fiscal year 2023 totaled $1,127.7 million, an increase of 3.8%, compared to revenues of $1,086.8 million for the fiscal year 2022. Revenues increased 3.5% excluding the impact of foreign currency and a $12.6 million contribution from the acquisition of Akorn in Q1 fiscal 2023. Revenue growth for the fiscal year was driven by strong International OTC segment performance and improved demand for certain brands, categories and channels that had been impacted by the COVID-19 virus in the prior fiscal year.

Reported net loss for fiscal 2023 of $82.3 million and adjusted net income of $212.0 million compared to the prior year’s net income and adjusted net income of $205.4 million and $206.3 million, respectively. Fiscal 2023 diluted loss per share and adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.65 and $4.21, respectively, compared to diluted earnings per share and adjusted earnings per share of $4.04 and $4.06 in the prior year, respectively.

Adjustments to net income in fiscal 2023 included non-cash tradename impairments associated primarily with the Company’s DenTek, Summer’s Eve, and TheraTears brand names, goodwill impairments and associated tax adjustments as well as a normalized tax rate adjustment to account for discrete items. Adjustments to net income in fiscal 2022 included integration, transition, purchase accounting, legal and various other costs associated with the Akorn acquisition as well as a loss on extinguishment of debt and the related income tax effects of the adjustments and a normalized tax rate adjustment to account for discrete items.

Free Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

The Company's net cash provided by operating activities for fourth quarter fiscal 2023 was $59.0 million, compared to $63.1 million during the prior year comparable period. Non-GAAP free cash flow in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 was $56.4 million compared to $60.0 million in the prior year comparable period. The Company's net cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2023 was $229.7 million, compared to $259.9 million during the prior year. Non-GAAP free cash flow in fiscal 2023 was $221.9 million compared to $253.7 million in the prior year, with the change in free cash flow largely due to an increase in working capital as the Company focused on increasing inventory to support service levels.

The Company's net debt position as of March 31, 2023 was approximately $1.3 billion, resulting in a covenant-defined leverage ratio of 3.3x.

Share Repurchase Program Authorization

On May 2, 2023 the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $25.0 million of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. Under the authorization, the Company may purchase common stock through May 2024 utilizing open market transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions, in privately-negotiated transactions, by direct purchases of common stock or a combination of the foregoing in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
               
The timing of the purchases and the amount of stock repurchased is subject to the Company's discretion and will depend on market and business conditions, applicable legal and credit requirements and other corporate considerations including the Company’s historical strategy of pursuing accretive acquisitions and deleveraging.

Segment Review

North American OTC Healthcare: Segment revenues of $242.3 million for the fourth quarter fiscal 2023 compared to the prior year comparable quarter's segment revenues of $232.9 million. The revenue performance for the quarter was driven by strong performance across most of our key brands and categories compared to the prior year comparable period.

For the fiscal year 2023, reported revenues for the North American OTC segment were $973.8 million compared to $967.9 million in the prior year comparable period. The change was driven by increased demand for certain brands, categories and channels that had previously been impacted by the COVID-19 virus, most notably Cough & Cold products and an approximate $12.4 million contribution from the acquisition of Akorn in the first quarter fiscal 2023, partially offset by lower Women’s Health category sales.

International OTC Healthcare: Fiscal fourth quarter 2023 revenues of $43.6 million increased 28.0% from $34.0 million reported in the prior year comparable period. The revenue increase versus the prior year fourth quarter was driven by increased consumer demand across the segment’s key brands, partially offset by a $1.3 million currency headwind.

For fiscal year 2023, reported revenues for the International OTC Healthcare segment were $154.0 million, an increase of 29.5% over the prior year’s revenues of $118.9 million. The increase compared to the prior year was driven by large increases in the segment’s Australia business led by the Hydralyte brand, partially offset by a foreign currency headwind of $6.7 million. Segment revenues increased 37.1% on a constant currency basis.

Commentary Initial Outlook for Fiscal 2024

Ron Lombardi, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased to generate record sales and earnings in fiscal 2023 that built off our very strong fiscal 2022 performance. Robust growth in multiple categories such as Cough & Cold and Gastrointestinal, as well as our International segment, helped offset a continued limiting supply chain. This continued growth speaks to the benefits of our diversified portfolio, our long-term brand-building efforts, and continued emphasis on customer service levels. In addition to investing in these areas we also reduced our leverage, achieving 3.3x year-end leverage thanks to our strong cash flow profile.”

“We anticipate our consistent financial profile and proven business attributes to drive results in the upcoming year. In fiscal 2024, we expect top-line organic growth of 1% to 2%. This builds off impressive organic growth over the last three years and incorporates the planned strategic exit of private label revenues that represent about one percentage point in annualized sales. We anticipate earnings growth largely following sales growth, but approximately mid-single-digits after excluding the impact of higher interest rates versus prior year thanks to the benefits of our business model and its strong financial profile and resulting cash flows.”

“Our history of strong performance continues to enable leverage reduction and additional financial flexibility. As a result, we now expect to operate with a targeted leverage of below 3x over time which allows further optionality for disciplined capital deployment. We would expect to be below this target by year-end fiscal 2024 with cash flow directed primarily to debt reduction.”

“This fiscal 2024 outlook and our strong operating fundamentals give us confidence in our ability to fuel a disciplined capital allocation that allows us to focus on long-term top- and bottom-line growth prospects. We look forward to executing our proven business strategy and leveraging our diverse portfolio of brands, retailers, and suppliers to create shareholder value,” Mr. Lombardi concluded.

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," “look forward,” "projection," “plan,” “positioned,” "may," "will," "would," "expect," "anticipate," "believe,” "consistent," “confidence,” 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 free cash flow, the Company’s use of cash flow to reduce debt and to delever, the impact of the planned strategic exit of private label revenues, the Company’s ability to grow. 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 COVID-19 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 (Loss), 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 where the acquired brands were not included in both periods presented 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 inventory step-up charges associated with acquisition.

  • 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 acquisition.

  • 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 (Loss) before interest expense, net, (benefit) 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 less inventory step-up charges associated with acquisition, costs associated with acquisition in general and administrative expenses, goodwill and tradename impairment, 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 (Loss): GAAP Net Income (Loss) before inventory step-up charges associated with acquisition, costs associated with acquisition in general and administrative expenses, goodwill and tradename impairment, loss on extinguishment of debt, applicable tax impact associated with these items, and normalized tax rate adjustment.

  • Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted EPS: Calculated as Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income (Loss), 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: Calculated as Non-GAAP free cash flow plus cash payments associated with acquisition.

  • Net Debt: Calculated as total principal amount of debt outstanding ($1,360,000 at March 31, 2023 and $1,495,000 at March 31, 2022) less cash and cash equivalents ($58,489 at March 31, 2023 and $27,185 at March 31, 2022). Amounts in thousands.

The following tables set forth the reconciliations of each of our NGFMs to their most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.
