Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. Reports Fiscal 2021 First Quarter Results

Revenue was $229.4 Million in First Quarter Fiscal 2021, Down 0.6% from Prior Year Q1 Excluding Unfavorable Foreign Currency
Diluted EPS of $0.86 in First Quarter Fiscal 2021, up 32% from Prior Year Q1
Generated Cash from Operations of $75.2 Million and Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow of $72.6 Million in First Quarter Fiscal 2021

TARRYTOWN, N.Y.--(GLOBE NEWSWIRE)-August 6, 2020-- Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. (NYSE:PBH) today reported financial results for its first quarter ended June 30, 2020.

“We are pleased with our results for the first quarter which included solid earnings and record free cash flow. We also delivered a stable revenue performance, despite the pandemic, led by the fast-growing eCommerce channel where our investments over the last several years are providing accelerating benefits. Even in an environment where people’s lifestyles, activities and routines have been disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers continue to turn to our portfolio of trusted brands,” said Ron Lombardi, Chief Executive Officer of Prestige Consumer Healthcare.

“Our solid start to the year is a testament to our Company’s strong brand positioning and strategic ability to navigate this unique and uncertain business environment. We are protecting the health & safety of our workforce, partners and community all while continuing to execute our time-tested brand-building strategy and maintaining our leading financial profile,” Mr. Lombardi concluded.

First Fiscal Quarter Ended June 30, 2020

Reported revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased 1.2% to $229.4 million, compared to $232.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Revenues decreased 0.6% excluding the impact of foreign currency. The revenue performance for the quarter was driven by stable consumption across the majority of the Company’s portfolio and a benefit associated with higher retailer order patterns to refill customer’s supply chains. This was partially offset by reduced consumption for certain brands where the category has been impacted by the COVID-19 virus.

Reported net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 totaled $43.7 million versus the prior year comparable quarter’s net income of $33.9 million. Diluted earnings per share of $0.86 for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to $0.65 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 2021 was $75.2 million compared to $52.8 million during the prior year. Non-GAAP free cash flow in first quarter fiscal 2021 was $72.6 million compared to $50.8 million in the prior year. The Company’s business experienced continued strong cash conversion from its leading financial profile.

The Company's net debt position as of June 30, 2020 was approximately $1.6 billion and at the end of the first quarter fiscal 2021 the Company's covenant-defined leverage ratio was 4.4x. During the quarter the Company lowered debt outstanding by $111 million as it continued to maintain focus on debt reduction.

Segment Review

North American OTC Healthcare: Segment revenues totaled $210.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2021, compared to the prior year comparable quarter's revenues of $210.8 million. The first quarter fiscal 2021 revenue performance was impacted by a reduction in consumption for certain brands where



the category consumption levels have been impacted by the COVID-19 virus, largely offset by a benefit associated with higher retailer order patterns to refill customer’s supply chains.

International OTC Healthcare: Segment fiscal first quarter 2021 revenues totaled $18.7 million, compared to $21.4 million reported in the prior year comparable period. Revenues versus the prior year were impacted by reduced consumption for certain brands impacted by the COVID-19 virus as well as unfavorable foreign currency of approximately $1 million, partially offset by a benefit associated with higher retailer order patterns to refill customer’s supply chains.

Commentary and Outlook for Fiscal 2021

Ron Lombardi, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We delivered a strong start to the fiscal year, which included first quarter revenues better than anticipated owing to strength from our ongoing brand-building efforts and significant growth in eCommerce channel sales stemming from our long-term investments. The first quarter also experienced strong earnings and free cash flow that were driven by strong EBITDA and the benefit of our disciplined capital allocation strategy over the last year. We reduced debt by $111 million in the first quarter, which resulted in 4.4x leverage, close to the mid-point of our targeted long-term leverage range.”

“As we look forward in the near-term we anticipate revenues in Q2 of $225 million or more. This outlook is driven by continued changes in consumer behaviors and disruptions in certain channels stemming from the COVID-19 virus, which has affected demand in certain categories that we compete in. Despite these challenges, we remain focused on brand-building and maintaining or growing market share across our portfolio of core brands, many of which have unique opportunities for investment in the current environment. Meanwhile, we anticipate Q2 EPS of $0.70 or more, an increase from the prior year, thanks to our disciplined cost management, leading financial profile and benefits of our capital allocation strategy” he continued.

“We continue to refrain from offering full-year guidance given the uncertainties ahead, but we are confident in our sound Company and business strategy that positions us well to withstand these challenges as evidenced in our results announced today. Our leading brand-building efforts, financial profile and disciplined capital allocation approach will enable us to focus on long-term top- and bottom-line growth prospects that position us for continued success,” he concluded.

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 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 (Loss) before interest expense, net, income taxes provision (benefit), and depreciation and amortization.
Non-GAAP EBITDA Margin: Calculated as Non-GAAP EBITDA divided by GAAP Total Revenues.
Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow: GAAP Net cash provided by operating activities less cash paid for capital expenditures.
Net Debt: Calculated as total principal amount of debt outstanding ($1,634,000 at June 30, 2020) less cash and cash equivalents ($57,941 at June 30, 2020). 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.
