Edgewell Personal Care Company announced its financial results for the third fiscal quarter of 2025, ended June 30, 2025. Net sales were $627.2 million, a decrease of 3.2%, with organic net sales decreasing 4.2%. This performance fell below expectations, significantly impacted by a very weak Sun Care season in North America and certain Latin American markets. GAAP net earnings were $29.1 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, compared to $49.0 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net earnings were $43.4 million, or $0.92 per share, inclusive of a $0.12 unfavorable currency impact, down from $61.2 million, or $1.22 per share, in the prior year quarter. North America organic sales declined by 8.0% due to volume declines and increased promotional levels in Sun Care, Wet Shave, and Feminine Care. International markets showed 2.2% organic growth, largely driven by price gains. Adjusted gross margin decreased 150 basis points to 42.8%, with a 110 basis points negative impact from currency movements. The company updated its full-year fiscal 2025 outlook, citing a challenging economic environment, tariffs, and foreign exchange as contributing to profit headwinds. Pre-tax restructuring charges for the full fiscal year are now expected to be approximately $44 million, an increase from the previously announced $33 million, reflecting organizational and operational changes in Mexico and North America.
