In other recent news, Edgewell Personal Care Company reported its fiscal year 2024 earnings, highlighting both achievements and challenges. The company experienced slight organic net sales growth, improved adjusted gross margins, and double-digit adjusted earnings per share growth at constant currency for the second consecutive year. However, organic net sales dipped by 2.8% in the fourth quarter due to weaker performance in North America's Wet Shave and Fem Care categories.
In contrast, international markets, particularly in Greater China and distributor markets, demonstrated over 7% growth. The company anticipates low single-digit organic top-line growth for fiscal 2025, and plans to strengthen its U.S. shave and fem care categories alongside enhancing innovation and operational efficiency.
Adjusted EPS is projected between $3.15 to $3.35 for fiscal 2025, indicating a 7% increase year-over-year at the midpoint. Despite some bearish indicators such as a decrease in North American sales by 6%, Edgewell remains optimistic about its strong innovation pipeline and brand performance. These are the recent developments for Edgewell Personal Care Company.
