Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Waldencast plc has completed the sale of its Obagi Medical dermatological skincare and aesthetics business to Waypoint Bidco and affiliates. The purchaser will pay up to $366.0 million in cash, $30.0 million in Vendor Notes and up to $64.0 million of earnout based on 2026–2027 revenue milestones. Preliminary pro forma estimates show total consideration of $380.0 million, including $337.4 million of cash and fair values for the notes and earnout.

The company estimates net cash proceeds of $334.4 million and used $178.4 million at closing to fully repay its senior term loan, eliminating $135.8 million of long-term debt and $11.8 million of embedded derivative liabilities. Pro forma as of December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents are $143.4 million, total assets $475.8 million, liabilities $56.4 million and stockholders’ equity $419.3 million.

Post-transaction, Waldencast is expected to operate primarily as the parent of Milk Makeup and to provide limited services to Obagi Medical under a transition services agreement. For 2025, pro forma net revenue from continuing operations is 110,444 thousand U.S. dollars with a net loss of 102,170 thousand U.S. dollars and basic and diluted EPS of $(0.93).

Positive

  • $178.4 million of sale proceeds fully repaid Waldencast’s existing senior term loan at closing, leaving no long-term debt on the pro forma balance sheet.

Negative

  • Pro forma continuing operations for 2025 still show a net loss of 102,170 thousand U.S. dollars and basic and diluted EPS of $(0.93).

Filing Explained

The completed sale changes business mix without an estimated share-count adjustment; transaction costs and debt settlement reduce pro forma retained earnings by 48.6 million dollars.

Form 6-K furnishes interim material information, and this filing provides unaudited pro forma financial statements after the Obagi Medical sale was completed on July 30, 2026. The statements are informational illustrations rather than historical results or forecasts, so the transaction is complete but the pro forma amounts remain estimates.

For existing common holders, the pro forma table shows no estimated share-repurchase adjustment: pro forma weighted-average basic and diluted shares remain 114,070,225 for 2025, with no additional shares reflected from that adjustment.

The transaction accounting adjustments produce a net 48.6 million U.S. dollar decrease in pro forma retained earnings from 22.5 million U.S. dollars of transaction-related compensation costs and a 30.8 million U.S. dollar loss on debt settlement.

The consideration and cash figures remain preliminary pending closing calculations and valuation analyses, including final purchase-price adjustments, Vendor Note cash flows and the revenue-based earnout estimates.

Total estimated consideration for Obagi sale $380.0 million Preliminary fair value of cash, Vendor Notes and Earnout received in the Sale
Estimated net cash proceeds from Sale $334.4 million Net cash proceeds after Vendor Notes, transaction fees and closing adjustments
Senior term loan repayment at Closing $178.4 million Cash used to repay Existing Credit Agreement, including principal, interest and fee
Estimated pro forma gain on Sale $4.7 million Gain after derecognizing net assets, transaction costs and noncontrolling interest
2025 pro forma net revenue from continuing operations 110,444 thousand U.S. dollars Year ended December 31, 2025, after removing Obagi Medical results
2025 pro forma net loss from continuing operations $(102,170) thousand Net loss from continuing operations, year ended December 31, 2025
Pro forma cash and cash equivalents $143,432 thousand Cash and cash equivalents on pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2025
Transaction-related compensation costs $22.5 million Compensation and equity modifications recorded against retained earnings
Vendor Notes financial
"The Purchaser acquired Obagi Medical for total consideration comprising the Vendor Notes"
Earnout Consideration financial
"contingent consideration in the form of an earnout of up to $64.0 million in Earnout Consideration"
Earnout consideration is the portion of a purchase price that one party pays later only if the acquired business meets agreed future targets, like sales or profit goals. Think of it as a performance-linked bonus that shifts some risk from the buyer to the seller; investors watch earnouts because they affect how much value will actually be paid, influence future cash flow, and can change reported earnings or liabilities if targets are missed or met.
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information financial
"The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been derived"
transition services agreement financial
"other than through the transition services agreement entered into at the consummation"
A transition services agreement is a formal arrangement where one company continues to provide essential services—such as IT, human resources, or accounting—to another company after a business deal or change in ownership. It acts like a temporary bridge, ensuring smooth operations during a transition period. For investors, it provides clarity on how long support will last and helps assess potential costs and stability during the change.
loss on extinguishment of debt financial
"The difference totaled $30.8 million, which was recognized as a loss on extinguishment of debt"
Loss on extinguishment of debt is the accounting hit a company records when it retires or restructures a loan or bond for an amount that exceeds the debt’s recorded value—like paying more than the remaining balance to settle a loan early. It matters to investors because it reduces reported profit and can use cash, but may also cut future interest costs or signal financial stress; understanding it helps assess earnings quality and balance-sheet strength.
noncontrolling interests financial
"reflects the derecognition of $30.8 million of noncontrolling interests associated"
The portion of a subsidiary’s equity and profits that belongs to outside owners rather than the parent company; when a parent reports consolidated results it includes the whole subsidiary but shows the noncontrolling slice separately. Think of a company’s subsidiary as a pie where the parent owns most slices but some are held by other investors — noncontrolling interests tell you how much of the pie and its future earnings don’t belong to the parent, which affects how much profit and net assets are truly attributable to the parent’s shareholders.

WALDENCAST PLC
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On July 30, 2026, Waldencast plc, a public limited company incorporated under the laws of the Bailiwick of Jersey (“Waldencast”, the “Company” or the “Parent”), completed the previously announced sale of its Obagi Medical dermatological skincare and aesthetics business (“Obagi Medical”, “Obagi” or the “Business”). The sale of Obagi Medical is referred to herein as the “Sale”.
The Sale was completed pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement and Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement” or the “Agreement”), by and among Waldencast, Obagi Holdings Company Ltd. (the “Seller”), Obagi Cosmeceuticals LLC, Obagi Netherlands B.V. and Obagi AsiaPac Limited (collectively, the “Companies”), Waypoint Bidco, LLC (the “Purchaser”), Waypoint Merger Sub I, LLC (“Merger Sub I”), Waypoint Merger Sub II, LLC (“Merger Sub II”) and Gore Range Capital Fund III LLC (the “Purchaser Co-Investor”). The transactions contemplated by the Agreement are referred to herein as the “Transaction”.
For purposes of the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information, the "Transferred Group" refers to the Obagi Medical in its entirety, comprising (i) the Companies and their subsidiaries transferred to, or acquired by, the Purchaser pursuant to the Agreement, and (ii) the remaining Obagi entities retained by Waldencast that are expected to be dissolved.
The Purchaser acquired Obagi Medical for total consideration comprising: (i) up to $366.0 million of cash consideration, subject to certain customary adjustments; (ii) a fixed vendor note in the principal amount of $10.0 million (the “Fixed Vendor Note”) and an adjustable vendor note in the principal amount of $20.0 million (the “Adjustable Vendor Note”) (together the “Vendor Notes”); and (iii) contingent consideration in the form of an earnout of up to $64.0 million in aggregate (the “Earnout Consideration”). The Earnout Consideration is payable only upon the achievement of specified post-closing revenue milestones and comprises (i) up to $10.0 million based on non-injectables revenue for fiscal year 2026 (the “2026 Earnout Consideration”) and (ii) up to $54.0 million based on injectables revenue for fiscal year 2027 (the “2027 Earnout Consideration”).
Waldencast will not retain the equity interests in the Transferred Group (other than for the remaining Obagi entities retained by the Company that are expected to be dissolved). Waldencast is not expected to have significant continuing involvement with the Business, other than through the transition services agreement (the “TSA”) entered into at the consummation of the Sale (the “Closing”). The TSA is transitional and time-limited in nature and is not expected to represent significant continuing involvement by Waldencast in the Transferred Group.
The adjustments included in the “Transferred Group” columns of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations (“ASC 205”), under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Sale is treated as a significant disposition of a business for purposes of Rule 11-01(a)(4) of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared to give effect to the Transferred Group and the related transaction accounting adjustments in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been derived from the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and adjusted to reflect the estimated effects of the Transaction.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, gives effect to the Transferred Group as if the Sale had occurred on December 31, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 give effect to the Transferred Group as if the Sale had occurred on January 1, 2023, the beginning of the earliest period presented. The transaction accounting adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations include only those adjustments that are directly attributable to the Sale, factually supportable and expected to have a continuing impact on the Company's results of operations. Accordingly, non-recurring items, including the gain or loss on disposal and transaction costs that are not expected to have a continuing impact, have not been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Milk Makeup is available through milkmakeup.com and retail partners including Sephora, Ulta Beauty and Amazon Premium Beauty in the U.S., and select retailers internationally.
In addition, effective at the Closing, Michel Brousset, Chief Executive Officer and director of the Company (the “Board”), Hind Sebti, Chief Growth Officer and director of the Company, and Manuel Manfredi, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, transitioned from the Company to lead Obagi Medical. Following the Closing, Mr. Brousset, Ms. Sebti and Mr. Manfredi will provide services to the Company during a transitional period. Effective at the close of business on the Closing Date, Felipe Dutra, Chairman of the Board, as Executive Chairman, he will serve as the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer.

WALDENCAST PLC
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes are prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The Company has elected to present only Transaction Accounting Adjustments and has not presented Management’s Adjustments. While the historical consolidated financial statements reflect the Company’s past financial results, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is presented for informational purposes only and illustrates how the Transferred Group might have affected those results had it occurred on the dates indicated below:
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2025, as adjusted, gives effect to the Pro Forma Adjustments and Disposal Accounting Adjustments as if they had occurred or become effective on December 31, 2025.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, as adjusted, to give effect to the Pro Forma Adjustments and Disposal Accounting Adjustments as if they had occurred or become effective on January 1, 2023.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been compiled using the significant accounting policies set forth in Waldencast’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
2.Transaction Accounting Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, reflects the following adjustments:
a)the derecognition of the assets and liabilities of the Transferred Group transferred pursuant to the Agreement, including allocated goodwill and other assets and liabilities within the Transaction perimeter with a corresponding adjustment of $393.9 to additional paid-in capital (“APIC”).
b)reflects estimated net cash proceeds of approximately $334.4 million, which is comprised of the purchase price for the Sale interests of $366.0 million received from the Purchaser, net of Vendor Notes, transaction fees and estimated purchase price adjustments made at closing. The net cash proceeds ultimately recognized may change based on customary net working capital and other adjustments to be made pursuant to the Agreement. The net cash proceeds from the Sale were subsequently used by the Company to repay the Company's Existing Credit Agreement.
The pro forma adjustment to cash and cash equivalents was calculated as follows:

The total estimated consideration comprises cash consideration of $337.4 million, Vendor Notes with a preliminary estimated fair value of $21.8 million and Earnout Consideration with an aggregate preliminary estimated fair value of $20.8 million. The total estimated consideration is used in calculating the estimated pro forma gain on the Sale.
The Vendor Notes have been measured at a preliminary estimated fair value of $21.8 million using a discounted cash flow approach. The valuation applies a market-participant yield to the expected contractual cash flows and considers, among other factors, the contractual terms and maturity of the notes, the expected timing and amount of the cash flows, the applicable contractual interest rates, the credit risk of the issuer, the subordinated nature of the instruments and, where applicable, the provisions permitting adjustments to the principal amount. The Vendor Notes are presented within Other non-current assets based on their contractual maturity and expected settlement dates.
The Earnout Consideration has been measured at a preliminary estimated fair value of $20.8 million using a Monte Carlo simulation. The valuation considers the applicable contractual revenue thresholds and caps, forecast revenue and associated uncertainty, the probability and timing of achieving the relevant milestones, the expected payment dates, the applicable discount rate and other relevant market-participant assumptions.
The accounting for the consideration received in connection with the Sale is preliminary and remains subject to completion of the Closing calculations and the related valuation analyses. The principal areas of uncertainty include the final Closing adjustments, the expected cash flows, credit risk and market yield applicable to the Vendor Notes, and the revenue forecasts, achievement probabilities and discount rates used to estimate the fair value of the Earnout Consideration. The final amounts recognized upon completion of the Sale may differ from the preliminary estimates reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information.
The estimated pro forma gain on the Sale was calculated as follows:

Components
$ in millions
Total estimated consideration received
$
380.0 
Less: Carrying value of net assets of the Transferred Group (a)
(393.9)

Plus: Carrying amount of noncontrolling interest derecognized (h)
30.8 
Estimated pro forma gain (loss) on Sale
$
4.7 

c)qualifying transaction-related costs of $12.2 million incurred in connection with the Closing. These costs primarily relate to the advisory, legal and professional transaction fees. Of the total amount, approximately $11.5 million was paid in cash at Closing, while the remaining $0.7 million was accrued in accounts payable. This adjustment has been reflected as a reduction of the pro forma gain on Sale, with a corresponding accrual recorded in accounts payable.

d)in connection with the Sale, the Company repaid and settled the Credit Agreement, dated as of November 14, 2025 (as amended, restated, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, Milk Makeup, Obagi Cosmeceuticals, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and LSSF II Offshore Investments, LP, an Ontario limited partnership acting by its general partner, Lumina Fund II GP Ltd., as administrative agent. The Company paid $178.4 million in cash, which comprised the principal, accrued interest, and a contractual prepayment fee. Upon settlement, the Company derecognized long-term debt of $135.8 million (comprising principal, accrued interest, deferred financing costs, and debt discount) and related embedded derivative liabilities of $11.8 million. The difference between the cash paid and the carrying amounts derecognized totaled $30.8 million, which was recognized as a loss on extinguishment of debt and reflected as a reduction to retained earnings.
e)compensation costs and modifications to equity awards arising in connection with the Sale, including severance payments, cash transaction bonuses, transaction bonuses linked to the Earnout Consideration, the acceleration of Restricted Stock Unit ("RSU") awards and share repurchase arrangements with certain employees and key executives. The pro forma adjustments recognize $23.5 million of accrued compensation costs in current liabilities, of which $6.0 million has been settled through the net cash proceeds received. An additional $0.4 million relating to earnout-linked transaction bonuses is recorded in other non-current liabilities. The total effects are reflected as adjustments of $1.4 million to APIC and $22.5 million to retained earnings.
f)adjustment to APIC related to derecognition of the Transferred Group’s net assets of $393.9 million described in (a), offset by a $1.4 million APIC reduction related to the RSU acceleration and share repurchase arrangements as described in (e).
g)reflects the derecognition of $30.8 million of noncontrolling interests associated with the Transferred Group upon the loss of control. This amount is included in the estimated pro forma gain on the Sale described in note (b).
h)net retained earnings impact of the transaction accounting adjustments described in notes (a) through (g). The net decrease to retained earnings of $48.6 million is calculated as follows:

Transaction Accounting Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 reflect the following adjustments:
i)elimination of the historical operating results for the historical periods presented, including revenues, costs, expenses, other income statement activity and the related income tax expense or benefit directly attributable to the Transferred Group.
j)reflects the estimated costs of services to be received by Waldencast under the TSA. The adjustment recognizes related costs of $0.2 million within selling, general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year 2025.
k)reflects the estimated accretion income on the Fixed Vendor Note received as consideration in connection with the Sale, as described in note (b). The Fixed Vendor Note are estimated based on a market yield, with accretion recognized under the effective interest method. The adjustment decreases interest expense, net by $1.5 million for the fiscal year 2025 representing the estimated finance income recognized on the Fixed Vendor Note.

The Company separately evaluated the income tax effects for the transaction accounting adjustments. No income tax effects have been recorded because the related items either (i) are recognized in a jurisdiction with a zero statutory income tax rate or (ii) do not result in the recognition of an income tax benefit due to the existence of a valuation allowance.
3.Pro Forma Shareholder’s Equity and Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The calculation of pro forma basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 gives effect to the Sale and related transaction accounting adjustments as if they had occurred on January 1, 2023.
Basic and diluted pro forma net income (loss) per ordinary share are the same for the periods presented where the Company reports a net loss or where the effect of potential ordinary shares would be anti-dilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of pro forma basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share from continuing operations:
