EWING, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (NYSE: CHD) today reported second quarter results driven by our strong brand share growth, leading innovation and positive category consumption. Our second quarter reported net sales decreased 0.3% to $1,506.3 million. Organic sales increased 0.1%, which was the high end of our quarterly organic outlook. Organic growth was 0.8% higher due to volume partially offset by negative pricing and mix of 0.7%.

Reported EPS was $0.78 and Adjusted EPS was $0.94, an increase of 1%. Adjusted EPS exceeded the Company’s outlook of $0.85 driven by higher than expected organic sales and profit margin. The difference between reported EPS and Adjusted EPS was primarily due to charges we recorded related to our announced business exits.

Rick Dierker, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our brands continue to perform well in this dynamic environment. We continue to drive both dollar and volume share gains across most of our brands. Our balanced portfolio of value and premium products and our relentless focus on innovation continues to position us well for the future. Importantly, we began to see category growth levels improve sequentially through the second quarter, which provides further confidence in our full year outlook.

“In the second quarter, the Domestic Division declined 1.0% organically, which was an improvement from the first quarter. The majority of our brands once again outperformed their categories with 5 of our 7 power brands growing share. The International Division organic growth was 4.8%, driven by share gains leading to growth in all subsidiaries and the global markets group. Our Specialty Products Division grew organic sales 0.1%. We increased our marketing investment during the quarter by 30 basis points versus prior year, helping to drive consumption and share gains across our brands. Our momentum in e-commerce continued with global online sales representing 23% of total consumer sales in Q2 versus 22% last year.

“Finally, we are excited to announce that in July, we closed our most recent acquisition of TOUCHLAND™. Touchland is the fastest growing brand in the hand sanitizer category in the United States and currently holds the #2 position in the category. Touchland delivered strong growth in Q2, outpacing the category and gaining share. We are thrilled to add Touchland as our 8th power brand and now formally welcome the Touchland team to Church & Dwight.”

Strategic Portfolio Decisions

Rick Dierker, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “To drive shareholder value, our management team continues to assess each of our brands on a regular basis. As a result of these reviews, we will often accelerate and increase investments in our strongest brands and move with speed to address opportunities for value creation.

“As noted in our first quarter earnings call, the Company will be exiting the FLAWLESS™, SPINBRUSH™ and WATERPIK™ showerhead businesses by early 2026. In the second quarter, we recorded pre-tax charges of approximately $51 million, primarily comprised of non-cash impairments of intangibles and fixed assets, as well as inventory charges. These charges have been excluded from our adjusted earnings.

“We also want to provide an update on our Vitamin brands. We remain focused on our revitalization efforts with multiple innovation and branding programs under way in 2025. We are also undertaking a strategic review of the brands, including streamlining our supply chain to strengthen our core business, new JV/partnership opportunities, and divestiture options. We expect to reach a conclusion from this review by the end of 2025.”

Second Quarter Review

Consumer Domestic net sales were $1,154.1 million, a $16.5 million or 1.4% decrease. Organic sales decreased 1.0% due to price and product mix (-1.1%) partially offset by higher volume (+0.1%). Growth was led by HERO™ acne products, ARM & HAMMER™ Liquid Detergent, ARM & HAMMER™ Cat Litter and THERABREATH™ mouthwash, offset by declines in the vitamin business and OXICLEAN™ stain removers.

Consumer International net sales were $277.6 million, a $13.9 million or 5.3% increase. Organic sales increased 4.8% due to a combination of higher volume (+4.7%) and price and product mix (+0.1%). Growth was led by HERO, THERABREATH and FEMFRESH™ and was broad-based across all our international markets.

Specialty Products net sales were $74.6 million, a $2.3 million or 3.0% decrease reflecting the exit of the Megalac and the food safety business in 2024. Organic sales increased 0.1% due to positive price and product mix (+2.8%) partially offset by lower volume (-2.7%).

Reported Gross margin decreased 410 basis points to 43.0% primarily from the one-time charges related to the Flawless, Spinbrush and Waterpik showerhead business exits. Adjusted gross margin was 45.0%, a decrease of 40 basis points with the impact of higher manufacturing costs including tariffs, Zicam/Orajel recall costs, promotional pricing and product mix largely offset by the benefits of our productivity programs and higher margin acquisitions.

Marketing expense was $157.1 million, a $4.7 million increase. Marketing expense as a percentage of net sales increased sequentially and is up 30 basis points versus last year to 10.4% as we continue to invest in our brands and new products.

Selling, general, and administrative expense (SG&A) was $228.2 million, including charges related to announced business exits. Adjusted SG&A was $204.4 million or 13.6% of net sales, an 80-basis point decrease versus prior year.1

Income from Operations was $261.7 million. Adjusted Income from Operations was $315.9 million.1

Other Expense decreased $5.2 million reflecting higher interest income.

The effective tax rate of 23.8% was slightly favorable compared to 24.0% in Q2 2024.

Cash Flow

For the first six months of 2025, cash from operations was $416.5 million, a decrease of $83.4 million due to working capital timing and lower cash earnings. Capital expenditures for the first six months were $39.0 million, a $37.6 million decrease from the prior year. At June 30, 2025, total debt was $2.2 billion and cash on hand was $923.2 million.

In the second quarter, the company executed a $300 million share repurchase via open market transactions as part of an ASR (Accelerated Share Repurchase).

Outlook for 2025

Mr. Dierker stated, “In an environment of economic uncertainty, we remain focused on profitably growing our market shares across our portfolio. We are encouraged by the sequential improvements in category growth and we believe the consumption of our brands will outpace category growth over time fueled by investments in our brands and innovation. Our outlook reflects our strong underlying operating fundamentals that have fueled our results in line with our Evergreen model.

“We expect 2025 reported sales growth of approximately 0 to 2% which includes the addition of the Touchland acquisition and the impact of lower sales from the businesses we are exiting. We continue to expect organic sales growth of approximately 0 to 2%.1 While category consumption has improved, there remains uncertainty around the US consumer and global economies.

“Full year reported gross margin is expected to be 44% and includes the costs associated with the three business exits. We continue to expect adjusted gross margin to contract 60 basis points versus 2024 as we expect tariffs, elevated input costs, and unfavorable price and mix to outpace incremental productivity and higher margin acquisition impacts. Our 2025 expected tariff impact has not changed materially over the past 90 days as we continue to expect approximately $30 million of costs. On a 12-month basis, the current tariff impact is approximately $60 million which we will act to mitigate through supply chain and targeted pricing actions over the next 12 months.

“In line with our Evergreen Model target, marketing as a percentage of sales is expected to be approximately 11%, as we will continue to invest in our brands and innovation.

“We continue to expect adjusted SG&A as a percentage of sales to be lower versus 2024 while investing in our international and ecommerce business. We now expect other expense for 2025 to be approximately $65 million. Our adjusted tax rate is expected to be approximately 23%.

“We continue to expect full year Adjusted EPS growth for 2025 of 0 to 2%2. This outlook includes the Touchland acquisition, the cost of the product recall and the wind-down of the three exited brands. The adjusted EPS outlook does not include pre-tax charges of approximately $51 million, from our three exited businesses.

“For Q3, we expect reported and organic sales growth of approximately 1 - 2%1, adjusted gross margin contraction of approximately 100 basis points, primarily from inflation and tariff costs, the lower margins of the exited businesses and increased investments in marketing. As a result, we expect Adjusted EPS of $0.72 per share, a decrease of 9% versus last year’s adjusted Q3 EPS. 2

“Cash flow from operations outlook remains approximately $1.05 billion and reflects a stronger performance in the second half of 2025. We still expect 2025 capital expenditures of approximately $130 million. In July, we also expanded our revolver credit facility from $1.5 Billion to $2.0 Billion. The combination of our strong cash flow and expanded credit facilities continues to provide us tremendous capital allocation flexibility. Accordingly, we continue to pursue additional accretive acquisitions that meet our strict criteria, with an emphasis on fast-moving consumable products, similar to our recent acquisitions (THERABREATH, HERO and TOUCHLAND).”

1 Organic Sales, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted SG&A, Adjusted Income from Operations, and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP measures. See non-GAAP reconciliations included at the end of this release.

2 This press release does not provide a forward-looking reconciliation of adjusted EPS to reported EPS and adjusted SG&A to reported SG&A, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because we are unable to provide such a reconciliation without unreasonable effort. We have excluded the changes in the Company’s potential earn-out liability from our acquisition of the TOUCHLAND business from our expected adjusted EPS and adjusted SG&A. We are required to review the fair value of the earn-out liability quarterly based on changes in sales forecasts, discount rates, volatility assumptions, and other inputs. Our inability to provide a reconciliation to GAAP EPS and SG&A for future periods is due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting what these changes will be on a quarter-by-quarter basis or on an annual basis. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to our future results.

The following non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures provided by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation and items and events being excluded.

Organic Sales Growth:
This press release provides information regarding organic sales growth, namely net sales growth excluding the effect of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign exchange rate changes. Management believes that the presentation of organic sales growth is useful to investors because it enables them to assess, on a consistent basis, sales trends related to products that were marketed by the Company during the entirety of relevant periods, excluding the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, and foreign exchange rate changes that are out of the control of, and do not reflect the performance of the Company and management.

Adjusted Gross Margin:
This press release provides information regarding adjusted gross margin, namely gross margin calculated in accordance with GAAP, as adjusted to exclude significant one-time items that are not indicative of the Company’s period-to-period performance. We believe that this metric provides investors a useful perspective of underlying business trends and results and provides useful supplemental information regarding our year over year gross margin.

Adjusted Selling, General, and Administrative Expense (SG&A):
This press release also presents adjusted SG&A, namely, SG&A calculated in accordance with GAAP, as adjusted to exclude significant one-time items that are not indicative of the Company’s period-to-period performance. We believe that this metric provides investors a useful perspective of underlying business trends and results and provides useful supplemental information regarding our year over year SG&A expense.

Adjusted Income from Operations:
This press release also presents adjusted income from operations, namely income from operations calculated in accordance with GAAP, as adjusted to exclude significant one-time items that are not indicative of the Company’s period-to-period performance. We believe that this metric provides investors a useful perspective of underlying business trends and results and provides useful supplemental information regarding our year over year income from operations.

Adjusted EPS:
This press release also presents adjusted earnings per share, namely, EPS calculated in accordance with GAAP, as adjusted to exclude significant one-time items that are not indicative of the Company’s period-to-period performance. We believe that this metric provides investors a useful perspective of underlying business trends and results and provides useful supplemental information regarding our year over year EPS growth.
