Edgewell Personal Care — Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2026 Earnings Summary

**Financial Results:** Q4 net sales rose 3.0% YoY to $484.1 million, while full-year sales increased 1.8% to $1.9965 billion; adjusted diluted EPS grew 50.0% YoY to $0.78 in Q4 and 6.6% to $1.93 for the full year, despite a GAAP EPS decline to $(0.05) for the year due to $101.8 million in restructuring costs.
**Guidance & Outlook:** The company raised its fiscal 2027 adjusted EPS guidance to $1.85–$2.15 (previously implied lower) and expects adjusted operating margin expansion of ~70 basis points, driven by gross margin gains and SG&A reductions, alongside projected adjusted free cash flow of $100–$120 million.
**Strategic Actions:** Fiscal 2026 included $101.8 million in restructuring charges, primarily from Mexico facility consolidation and Wet Shave operations, with an additional $55 million in pre-tax restructuring charges expected in fiscal 2027 to support a transformed operating model.
**Capital Allocation:** The Board declared a $0.15 per share Q4 dividend, and the company retains approximately $85 million in available capacity for future share repurchases under its 2025 authorization, ending the quarter with $375.6 million in cash and a 3.4x adjusted net debt leverage ratio.
