“Our second quarter organic revenue growth of over 5% and strong earnings performance both exceeded our expectations, thanks to our proven business strategy, strong cash flow and the benefits of our leading portfolio of brands. Additionally, consistent with our strategy for disciplined capital deployment, we enhanced shareholder value by completing our $50 million share repurchase program while further reducing debt in Q2.” said Ron Lombardi, Chief Executive Officer of Prestige Consumer Healthcare.

Second Fiscal Quarter Ended September 30, 2022

Reported revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 of $289.3 million increased 4.7% versus $276.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Revenues increased 5.5% excluding the impact of foreign currency. The revenue performance for the quarter was driven by continued strong performance across many of the Company’s key brands and strong International OTC segment performance.

Reported net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 totaled $51.0 million, compared to the prior year second quarter’s net income and adjusted net income of $45.3 million and $52.0 million, respectively. Diluted earnings per share of $1.02 for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to GAAP and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.89 and $1.02 in the prior year comparable period, respectively.

Adjustments to net income in the second quarter of 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.

Six Months Ended September 30, 2022

Reported revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2023 totaled $566.3 million, an increase of 3.8%, compared to revenues of $545.4 million for the first six months of fiscal 2022. Revenues increased 2.2% excluding the impact of foreign currency and a $12.6 million contribution from the acquisition of Akorn in Q1 fiscal 2023. The revenue growth for the first six months 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 first six months of the prior fiscal year.

Reported net income for the first six months of fiscal 2023 totaled $106.3 million versus the prior year comparable period net income and adjusted net income of $103.1 million and $109.8 million, respectively.

In the first six months of fiscal 2023, the Company repurchased approximately 0.9 million shares at a total of $50.0 million and completing its previously authorized share repurchase program.

Segment Review

North American OTC Healthcare: Segment revenues of $252.1 million for the second quarter fiscal 2023 increased slightly versus the prior year comparable quarter's segment revenues of $251.7 million. The revenue performance for the quarter was driven by continued strong performance across many of our key brands, particularly in the Gastrointestinal and Analgesics categories, compared to the prior year.

For the first six months of the current fiscal year, reported revenues for the North American OTC segment were $494.6 million, an increase compared to $494.1 million in the prior year comparable period. The increase 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 and motion sickness products and an approximate $12.4 million contribution from the acquisition of Akorn in the first quarter fiscal 2023.

International OTC Healthcare: Record segment fiscal second quarter 2023 revenues of $37.2 million increased 51.9% from $24.5 million reported in the prior year comparable period. The revenue increase versus the prior year second quarter related mainly to an increase in consumer demand for Hydralyte, partially offset by a $1.4 million currency headwind.

For the first six months of the current fiscal year, reported revenues for the International OTC Healthcare segment were $71.8 million, an increase of 39.9% over the prior year comparable period’s revenues of $51.3 million. The increase was driven by similar factors attributable to the second quarter performance, along with a foreign currency headwind of $2.5 million.

Commentary and Updated Outlook for Fiscal 2023

Ron Lombardi, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased with our first half fiscal 2023 performance. Our Q2 top-line revenue growth of over 5% excluding currency exceeded our expectations thanks to strong sales performance from the majority of our core brands and strong international segment performance. This resulted in strong cash flows that enabled us to continue investing in our brands, reduce debt, and complete our share repurchase program during the quarter.”

“Following these results, we are reaffirming our fiscal 2023 outlook for revenue and earnings growth. We continue to maintain this growth outlook against a dynamic supply chain and inflationary environment thanks to the makeup of our portfolio and our strong three-pillar business strategy of brand-building, maintaining a strong financial profile, and optimizing capital allocation efficiency,” Mr. Lombardi concluded.

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.
