ST. LOUIS, May 7, 2024/PRNewswire/ -- Energizer Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ENR) today announced results for the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2024.
"This quarter marks another solid performance for Energizer," said Mark LaVigne, Chief Executive Officer. "Steadily improving category trends combined with benefits from Project Momentum drove adjusted gross margin expansion and healthy adjusted earnings per share growth. In the first 6 months of the year, we improved adjusted gross margin by 150 basis points, generated over $160 million dollarsof free cash flow, and paid down over $140 million dollarsof debt. We are encouraged by the improvement in batteries, the growth in our auto care business and the ongoing progress across our strategic priorities. We are on track to return to organic growth in the back half of the year and deliver on our full year outlook."
Top-Line Performance
For the quarter, we had Net sales of $663.3 millioncompared to $684.1 millionin the prior year period.

Organic Net sales decreased 2.7% due to the following items:
Gross Margin
Gross margin percentage on a reported basis was 38.2% versus 37.0% in the prior year. Excluding the current year and prior year restructuring costs and current year integration costs, adjusted gross margin was 40.5%, compared to the prior year adjusted gross margin of 37.9%.(1)

Adjusted Gross margin improvement was driven by both Project Momentum savings, which delivered savings of approximately $11 millionin the quarter, as well as lower input costs, including improved commodities pricing and lower ocean freight. These benefits were partially offset by the planned strategic pricing and promotional investments noted above.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense (SG&A)
SG&A, excluding restructuring and acquisition costs, was 17.2% of Net sales for the second quarter, or $113.9 million, compared to 17.0%, or $116.5 millionin the prior year. The year-over-year cost decrease was primarily driven by savings from Project Momentum of approximately $9 million. This decrease was partially offset by higher environmental expense, factoring fees and travel.(1)
Advertising and Promotion Expense (A&P)
A&P expense was $21.4 million, or 3.2% of net sales, compared to 2.7% in the prior year.

Net earnings and Earnings per share were negatively impacted by pre-tax restructuring charges of $23.4 millioncompared to $7.5 millionin the prior year, which was partially offset by reduced Interest expense over the prior year. Adjusted Net Earnings, Adjusted Earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter were positively impacted by improved Gross margin and decreased SG&A spending, partially offset by higher A&P spend and unfavorable currency.
Free cash flow and Capital allocation
Financial Outlook and Assumptions for Fiscal Year 2024(1)
Our second quarter organic Net sales were within our guidance of down 2% to 3% and Project Momentum savings resulted in Gross margin and Adjusted earnings per share ahead of expectations.
For fiscal 2024, we continue to expect organic revenue to be flat to down low single digits. We also expect Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $600 millionto $620 millionand Adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $3.10to $3.30. For the third quarter, we expect organic revenue to be up approximately 1% and Adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $0.62and $0.68.
Project Momentum remains on track with total savings expected to be in the range of $160to $180 millionover the life of the program. Cash costs to achieve these savings over this same period are expected to be $140to $150 million. For fiscal year 2024, savings are expected to be in the range of $55to $65 millionwith one-time cash costs to achieve between $60to $70 million.

ENERGIZER HOLDINGS, INC.
Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures
For the Quarter and Six Months Ended March 31, 2024
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide users with additional meaningful comparisons to the corresponding historical or future period, and are used for management incentive compensation. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude items that are not reflective of the Company's on-going operating performance, such as restructuring and related costs, acquisition and integration costs, the loss/(gain) on extinguishment of debt and the December 2023Argentina Economic Reform. In addition, these measures help investors to analyze year over year comparability when excluding currency fluctuations as well as other Company initiatives that are not on-going. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are an enhancement to assist investors in understanding our business and in performing analysis consistent with financial models developed by research analysts. Investors should consider non-GAAP measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable GAAP measures. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures used by other companies due to possible differences in methods and in the items being adjusted.
We provide the following non-GAAP measures and calculations, as well as the corresponding reconciliation to the closest GAAP measure in the following supplemental schedules:
Segment Profit. This amount represents the operations of our two reportable segments including allocations for shared support functions. General corporate and other expenses, amortization expense, interest expense, loss/(gain) on extinguishment of debt, other items, net, restructuring and related costs and acquisition and integration costs have all been excluded from segment profit.
Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Common Share (EPS). These measures exclude the impact of restructuring and related costs, the costs related to acquisition and integration, the loss/(gain) on extinguishment of debt and the December 2023Argentina Economic Reform.
Non-GAAP Tax Rate. This is the tax rate when excluding the pre-tax impact of restructuring and related costs, acquisition and integration costs, the loss/(gain) on extinguishment of debt and the December 2023Argentina Economic Reform, as well as the related tax impact for these items, calculated utilizing the statutory rate for where the impact was incurred.
Organic. This is the non-GAAP financial measurement of the change in revenue or segment profit that excludes or otherwise adjusts for the change in Argentinaoperations and impact of currency from the changes in foreign currency exchange rates as defined below:
Change in ArgentinaOperations. The Company is presenting separately all changes in sales and segment profit from our Argentinaaffiliate due to the designation of the economy as highly inflationary as of July 1, 2018.
Impact of Currency. The Company evaluates the operating performance of our Company on a currency neutral basis. The Impact of Currency is the change in foreign currency exchange rates year-over-year on reported results, which is calculated by comparing the value of current year foreign operations at the current period USD exchange rate versus the value of current year foreign operations at the prior period USD exchange rate. The impact of currency also includes gains/(losses) of currency hedging programs, and it excludes hyper-inflationary markets.
Adjusted Comparisons. Detail for Adjusted Gross profit, Adjusted Gross margin, Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted SG&A as percent of Net sales and Adjusted Other items, net are also supplemental non-GAAP measure disclosures. These measures exclude the impact of restructuring and related costs, acquisition and integration costs and the December 2023Argentina Economic Reform.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as net earnings before income tax provision, interest, the loss/(gain) on extinguishment of debt, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes the impact of the costs related to restructuring, acquisition and integration costs, the settlement loss on US pension annuity buy out, the December 2023Argentina Economic Reform and share based payments.
Free Cash Flow. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities reduced by capital expenditures, net of the proceeds from asset sales.
Net Debt. Net debt is defined as total Company debt, less cash and cash equivalents.
Currency-neutral. Currency-neutral excludes the Impact of currency as defined above on key measures. Hyper inflationary markets are excluded from this calculation.

The Impact of Currency is the change in foreign currency exchange rates year-over-year on reported results, which is calculated by comparing the value of current year foreign operations at the current period USD exchange rate versus the value of current year foreign operations at the prior period USD exchange rate. The impact of currency also includes gains/(losses) of currency hedging programs, and it excludes hyper-inflationary markets. |
