Church & Dwight reported stable results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Net sales were $1,469.3 million, up 0.2% from $1,467.1 million a year earlier, as higher volumes across all segments offset business exits and softer pricing/mix.
Gross margin improved to 46.4% from 45.0% on productivity programs, the Touchland acquisition and prior-year divestitures, partly offset by higher manufacturing, commodity, transportation and tariff costs. Operating income was $291.0 million versus $295.3 million, with marketing and SG&A rising on brand investment, e-commerce, international growth and Touchland-related costs.
Diluted EPS increased to $0.91 from $0.89, helped by a lower effective tax rate of 20.7% and fewer shares outstanding. Cash from operations was $174.8 million, cash and equivalents were $503.4 million, and long-term debt remained about $2.21 billion, supported by a $2.0 billion revolving credit facility and ongoing dividends.
