Over the last few months, Edgewell has focused on portfolio reshaping and investor communication. The Nov 13, 2025 FY2025 results and 2026 outlook, the Morgan Stanley conference appearance on Dec 2, 2025, and a recycling initiative on Dec 8, 2025 drew mixed price reactions. The $340M Feminine Care divestiture completed on Feb 2, 2026 modestly lifted shares. Today’s Q1 FY2026 results and reaffirmed continuing-operations outlook fit into this broader transformation narrative following the segment sale.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement highlighted Q1 FY2026 results that modestly exceeded internal expectations on organic net sales, adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA, while reiterating the full-year outlook for continuing operations.

Investors may focus on execution of cost-efficiency programs, progress in Sun and Skin Care growth, cash generation toward the $80–$110M adjusted free cash flow outlook, and delivery against 2026 guidance.

Q1 performance ahead of expectations for Sales, Adjusted EPS and EBITDA
Successfully Completed Feminine Care Business Divestiture for
Full Year Outlook for Continuing Operations Remains Consistent with Prior Outlook
"We delivered a solid start to fiscal 2026. Our first quarter performance modestly exceeded our expectations for organic net sales, adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA(1). Alongside strong execution in our core businesses, we successfully completed the divestiture of Feminine Care, a pivotal milestone in our transformation journey that further sharpens our portfolio focus and strengthens our balance sheet. Importantly, the estimated annualized impact of the divestiture is expected to be favorable to our previous outlook," said Rod Little, Edgewell's President and Chief Executive Officer.
"After adjusting for the impact of the divestiture, our full year outlook for continuing operations is unchanged to our prior outlook for sales, adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. Moving forward, as a more focused and agile company with a streamlined portfolio, we believe we are well-positioned to drive sustainable growth and create long-term shareholder value as we execute against our plan for fiscal 2026 and beyond."

Full Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Outlook
The Company is providing the following outlook assumptions for fiscal 2026. The previous outlook provided on November 13, 2025 was on a consolidated basis, including the Feminine Care business. The change from the prior outlook reflects the removal of the Feminine Care business. The revised full year outlook for continuing operations remains consistent with the prior outlook. Unless otherwise stated, this outlook is presented on a continuing-operations basis and excludes the results of the Feminine Care business, which is reported as discontinued operations. Prior periods have been recast for comparability. Timing effects are as follows: Continuing operations reflect twelve months of stranded costs, while transition support services income which commenced upon closing is expected to be recognized for approximately eight months of the fiscal year. Refer to Note 8 for a reconciliation of previous consolidated outlook to continuing operations outlook.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures. While the Company reports financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the
This non-GAAP information is provided as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses this non-GAAP information internally to make operating decisions and believes it is helpful to investors because it allows more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of ongoing operating results. The information can also be used to perform analysis and to better identify operating trends that may otherwise be masked or distorted by the types of items that are excluded. This non-GAAP information is a component in determining management's incentive compensation. Finally, the Company believes this information provides a higher degree of transparency. The following provides additional detail on the Company's non-GAAP measures:
- The Company utilizes "adjusted" non-GAAP measures including gross margin, SG&A, operating income, operating margin, effective tax rate, net earnings, earnings per share, EBITDA, and other (income) expense to internally make operating decisions.
- Constant currency measures are calculated by removing the impact of translational and transactional foreign currencies changes, net of foreign currency hedges compared to the prior year. Transactional foreign currency changes are driven by foreign legal entities' transactions not denominated in local currency.
- The Company analyzes its net sales and segment profit on an organic basis to better measure the comparability of results between periods. Organic net sales and organic segment profit exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency.
- Segment profit is impacted by fluctuations in translation and transactional foreign currency. The impact of currency was applied to segments using management's best estimate.
- The Company presents certain metrics on a consolidated and continuing operations basis to help with comparability.
- Free cash flow is defined as net cash from operating activities, less capital expenditures plus collections of deferred purchase price of accounts receivable sold and proceeds from sales of fixed assets. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as free cash flow, adjusted for the following the one-time operating cash flow impacts associated directly with Feminine Care divestiture including tax, working capital, and deal related fees and expenses. Free cash flow conversion is defined as free cash flow as a percentage of net earnings adjusted for the net impact of non-cash impairments.
- Net debt is defined as Gross debt less cash. Adjusted net debt is adjusted for anticipated net proceeds from sale of Feminine Care business to provide a normal comparison to continuing operations adjusted EBITDA. Net debt leverage ratio is defined as net debt divided by trailing twelve month adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted net debt leverage ratio is defined as adjusted net debt divided by continuing operations trailing twelve month adjusted EBITDA and
income from pro forma twelve month Transition Services. Refer to Supplemental Slides for fiscal year 2025 quarterly recast adjusted EBITDA reconciliation for continuing operations.$26 million
Basis of Presentation.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited, in millions, except per share data)
Note 1 — Segments
The Company conducts its business in the following two segments: Wet Shave and Sun and Skin Care (collectively, the "Segments," and each individually, a "Segment"). Segment performance is evaluated based on segment profit, exclusive of general corporate expenses, share-based compensation costs, items which are considered by the Company to be unusual or non-recurring and which may have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on the Company's financial results in any particular period and the amortization of intangible assets. Financial items, such as interest income and expense, are managed on a global basis at the corporate level. The exclusion of such charges from segment results reflects management's view on how it evaluates segment performance.
