Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. Reports Results for First Quarter Fiscal 2023

• Revenue of $277.1 Million in Q1 fiscal 2023 increased 2.9% versus Prior Year
• Diluted EPS of $1.09 for Q1, ahead of expectations
• Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $58.2 Million and Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow of $57.2 Million
• Reaffirming Full-Year Fiscal 2023 Revenue and Earnings Outlooks

TARRYTOWN, N.Y., Aug. 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. (NYSE:PBH) today reported financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022.

“We are pleased with our first quarter performance that delivered a solid start to the year, with financial metrics slightly ahead of our expectations. We continued to use our strong and consistent cash flow strategically to reduce debt, finishing Q1 at 3.8x leverage while enhancing shareholder value by executing a portion of our authorized share repurchase program. Our proven business strategy and the benefits of our leading portfolio of brands have enabled this success against the backdrop of a dynamic operating environment. Following this solid Q1 start, we are reaffirming our fiscal year outlook for revenue and earnings and believe we are well positioned for the remainder of the year,” said Ron Lombardi, Chief Executive Officer of Prestige Consumer Healthcare.

First Fiscal Quarter Ended June 30, 2022

Reported revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 of $277.1 million increased 2.9% versus $269.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Revenues decreased 1.2% excluding the impact of foreign currency and a $12.6 million contribution from the acquisition of Akorn. The revenue performance for the quarter was driven by continued strong performance across many of the Company’s key brands but offset, as anticipated, by comparing to the prior year Q1 which experienced significantly increased demand for certain brands, categories and channels that had previously been impacted by the COVID-19 virus.

Reported net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 totaled $55.3 million, compared to the prior year first quarter’s net income of $57.8 million. Diluted earnings per share of $1.09 for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $1.14 in the prior year comparable period.

Free Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

The Company's net cash provided by operating activities for first quarter fiscal 2023 was $58.2 million, compared to $69.3 million during the prior year comparable period. Non-GAAP free cash flow in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was $57.2 million compared to $67.8 million in the prior year first quarter attributable to the timing of working capital.

In the first quarter fiscal 2023, the Company repurchased approximately 0.7 million shares at a total investment of $37.7 million.

The Company's net debt position as of June 30, 2022 was approximately $1.5 billion, resulting in a covenant-defined leverage ratio of 3.8x.

Segment Review

North American OTC Healthcare: Segment revenues of $242.5 million for the first quarter fiscal 2023 was approximately flat to the prior year comparable quarter's segment revenues of $242.4 million. The revenue performance for the quarter was driven by continued strong performance across many of the Company’s key brands but offset, as anticipated, by comparing to the prior year Q1 which experienced significantly increased demand for certain brands, categories and channels that had previously been impacted by the COVID-19 virus, most notably motion sickness. The first quarter fiscal 2023 revenue performance also included an approximate $12.4 million contribution from the acquisition of Akorn.

International OTC Healthcare: Record segment fiscal first quarter 2023 revenues of $34.5 million increased 28.9% from $26.8 million reported in the prior year comparable period. The revenue increase versus the prior year first quarter related primarily to an increase in consumer demand for Hydralyte, partially offset by an approximate $1 million currency headwind.

Commentary and Updated Outlook for Fiscal 2023

Ron Lombardi, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our start to fiscal 2023 exceeded our expectations. Our top line delivered revenue growth of approximately 3% compared to the prior year where we experienced a surge in demand from consumers returning to certain COVID-19 impacted categories like motion sickness. This resulted in strong cash flows that enabled us to continue investing in our brands, reduce debt, and repurchase shares during Q1.”

“Following these results, we are reaffirming our fiscal 2023 outlook for revenue and earnings growth. We continue to maintain this outlook in 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.

	Reaffirmed Fiscal 2023 Outlook
Revenue	$1,120 to 1,130 million
Organic Revenue Growth	2% to 3%
Diluted E.P.S.	$4.18 to $4.23
Free Cash Flow	$260 million or more

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 EBITDA, Non-GAAP EBITDA Margin, Non-GAAP 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 products acquired in the current period 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 EBITDA: GAAP Net Income before interest expense, net, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization.
• Non-GAAP EBITDA Margin: Calculated as Non-GAAP EBITDA divided by GAAP Total Revenues.
• Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow: Calculated as GAAP Net cash provided by operating activities less cash paid for capital expenditures.
• Net Debt: Calculated as total principal amount of debt outstanding ($1,490,000 at June 30, 2022) less cash and cash equivalents ($35,869 at June 30, 2022). Amounts in thousands.

The following tables set forth the reconciliations of each of our NGFMs (other than Net Debt, which is reconciled above) to their most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.
