Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (NYSE: CHD) today announced the Company exceeded its outlook with stronger than expected sales growth and gross margin expansion. In the third quarter, net sales grew 10.5% to $1,455.9 million and gross margin expanded by 270 basis points. The Company continues to experience strong consumer demand across its portfolio. Organic sales grew 4.8% driven by volume of 2.7% and positive product mix and pricing of 2.1%.

Third quarter 2023 Reported EPS was $0.71; a decrease of 6.6% compared to 2022 Reported EPS. Third quarter Adjusted EPS was $0.74; a decrease of 2.6% due to higher marketing investments and higher incentive compensation in the current quarter. Third quarter Adjusted EPS exceeded the Company’s outlook of $0.66 driven by higher-than-expected sales growth and gross margin expansion.

Matthew Farrell, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our Q3 results reflect the strength of our brands and our continued focus on execution. Over half of our organic growth in the quarter was driven by volume. Our domestic brands grew consumption in 11 of 17 categories. We grew share on brands representing 64% of sales. Global online sales continued to grow and as a percentage of total consumer sales were 17% in Q3.

“Our recent acquisitions, THERABREATH mouthwash and the HERObrand, the maker of MIGHTY PATCH acne care products, both experienced high consumption growth and grew market share. Both businesses continue to achieve significant distribution gains at retail.

“Organic revenue growth for the International Division was strong, driven by growth in most of our country subsidiaries and our Global Markets Group. The International Division is once again proving to be a growth engine for the Company as we have overcome the supply chain challenges of 2022.

“We were especially pleased by the strong gross margin expansion that we saw in the quarter with productivity, pricing, volume, and strong contributions from higher margin acquisitions more than offsetting inflation.

“Finally, strong sales and margin expansion along with efficient working capital management were all key drivers of our strong cash flow generation in the third quarter."

Third Quarter Review

Consumer Domestic net sales were $1,133.1 million, a $122.7 million or 12.1% increase versus prior year driven by both household and personal care sales growth. Organic sales increased 5.5% due to volume (+3.6%) and price and product mix (+1.9%). Growth was led by THERABREATH™ mouthwash, ARM & HAMMER™ Cat Litter, XTRA™ Liquid Detergent, WATERPIKand BATISTE™ dry shampoo, partially offset by declines in the vitamin business, and FIRST RESPONSE™.

Consumer International net sales were $244.4 million, a $24.7 million or 11.2% increase versus prior year. Foreign currency exchange rates impacted sales favorably by (+2.8%). Organic sales increased 7.3% due to a combination of higher price and product mix (+5.0%) and higher volume (+2.3%). Q3 organic sales were primarily driven by STERIMAR™, OXICLEAN™, THERABREATH and the vitamin business.

Specialty Products net sales were $78.4 million, an $8.8 million or 10.1% decrease versus prior year. Organic sales decreased 10.1% due to lower volume (-8.3%) and lower pricing/mix (-1.8%) driven by the dairy business as we continue to be impacted by low-priced imports.

Gross margin increased 270 basis points to 44.4% due to improved pricing, volume, productivity, and the impact of the HERO acquisition, net of the impact of higher manufacturing costs.

Marketing expense was $167.8 million, which was $27.1 million higher than prior year. Marketing expense as a percentage of net sales increased 80 basis points to 11.5%. The significant increase in second half marketing is weighted towards Q4, especially in support of new products.

Selling, general, and administrative expense (SG&A) was $222.7 million, including charges related to restricted stock that was issued for the HERO acquisition of $7.3 million. Adjusted SG&A was $215.41million or 14.8% of net sales, a 310 basis points increase, primarily due to higher incentive compensation from improved business performance and costs related to the HERO acquisition, and higher investment spending for future growth.

Income from Operations was $255.8 million. Adjusted Income from Operations was $263.11 million an increase of 3.6% inclusive of higher marketing and SG&A investments.

Other Expense increased $2.4 million primarily due to higher interest expense resulting from higher average interest rates on outstanding debt.

The effective tax rate increased to 24.1% compared to 20.2% in 2022, as the prior year rate included a nonrecurring benefit from a state tax reduction.

Operating Cash Flow

For the first nine months of 2023, cash from operating activities was $795.1 million, an increase of $261.0 million due to higher cash earnings, including the positive impact from recent acquisitions, and improvements in working capital. We continue to expect full year cash flow from operations to be approximately $1.0 billion, an increase of 13% compared to 2022. Capital expenditures for the first nine months were $121.5 million, a $23.4 million increase from the prior year as capacity expansion projects proceed as planned.

At September 30, 2023, cash on hand was $573.3 million, while total debt was $2.4 billion.

2023 New Products

Mr. Farrell commented, “Product innovation continues to be a big driver of our success and we are excited about our new product launches in 2023. We continue to differentiate our brands to consumers via innovative products, packaging, and forms.

“ARM & HAMMER™ laundry has launched ARM & HAMMER™ Power Sheets™ laundry detergent online. As the first laundry detergent sheet from a major brand in the US, Power Sheets is a convenient new unit dose form of detergent that delivers an entirely new laundry experience. It is mess-free, lightweight and eliminates plastic bottle waste while delivering the trusted ARM & HAMMER™ powerful cleaning performance consumers have come to rely on and love.

“ARM & HAMMER Litter has launched ARM & HAMMER Hardball™, a transformational plant-based product that is lightweight and creates virtually indestructible clumps for no-mess scooping. We expect this new litter to capture a greater share of the lightweight litter category where we under-index today.

“TROJAN™ is building on the success of the Raw™ franchise by offering the new TROJAN Raw Non-Latex condom which is America’s Thinnest Condom. The Raw innovation platform has been a driving force to improving TROJAN market share.

“The THERABREATH brand, the fastest-growing brand in the mouthwash category, has expanded into the kids’ segment with the launch of three new fluoride mouthwashes. These products are dentist-formulated to freshen breath and help prevent cavities, free of dyes, and have certified organic flavor.

“NAIR™ has launched Prep & Smooth, a one-step solution that preps the face for makeup application in a No-Touch, No-Mess format.

“HERO continues to innovate in the acne treatment category. Building on the success of its MIGHTY PATCH products, HERO is launching MICROPOINT FOR BLEMISHES™ XL patches. The HERO Rescue skin care line will also be expanding with the launch of Rescue Retinol Nighttime Renewing Cream. These new products help to provide gentle and effective solutions for issue-prone skin.

“BATISTE, a leader in the dry shampoo category, has launched Overnight and Texturizing dry shampoos. Both products are designed to tap into new usage occasions.”

Outlook for 2023

Mr. Farrell stated, “We have experienced strong sales growth and gross margin expansion through the first nine months of the year, and we expect to continue this trend in the fourth quarter. This outlook reflects strong operating fundamentals as full year adjusted operating profit is expected to increase approximately 8%. We continue to expect Reported EPS to be $3.03 and Adjusted EPS to be $3.15, a 6% year-over-year increase.

“We now expect full year 2023 reported sales growth to be approximately 9% (previously 8%) and continue to expect organic sales growth to be approximately 5%. Our marketing investments, new product innovation, and successful execution are all reasons that we continue to expect volume to be a driver of organic growth in the second half. This is impactful as organic growth was largely price driven for the 8 quarters prior to Q3.”

Mr. Farrell continued, “We now expect full year gross margin to expand approximately 210 basis points (previously 200). This is an encouraging trend as we continue to move closer to restoring gross margins to pre-COVID levels. We continue to expect a double-digit percentage increase in gross profit in full year 2023.

“We are maintaining our full year EPS outlook, with higher revenue and gross profits being offset by higher marketing and SG&A dollars. We continue to expect marketing as a percentage of net sales for the full year to be 11.0% (Full year 2022 was 10%). As in past years, when we have strong business performance, we invest for the future. Our investments will focus on driving future growth with higher marketing investment, R&D investment and accelerating product registrations in international markets as well as driving efficiency, including investments in automation and technology.

“Other expense for 2023 is now expected to be approximately $95 million (previously $100 million) and we expect our tax rate to approximate 22%.

“Cash flow from operations is expected to be approximately $1.0 billion, an increase of 13% compared to 2022. We now expect 2023 capital expenditures of approximately $230 million (previously $250 million) as we make capacity investments for the future. We expect annual Capex spending to return to historical levels (approximately 2% of sales) in 2025. We continue to pursue accretive acquisitions that meet our strict criteria, with an emphasis on fast-moving consumable products, similar to our last 3 acquisitions (HERO, THERABREATH, and ZICAM).

“For Q4, we expect reported sales growth of approximately 5%, organic sales growth of approximately 4% and gross margin expansion. In Q4 we expect a significant increase in marketing spending as we enter 2024 with strong momentum. We also expect an increase in SG&A due to higher incentive compensation and investments for the future, as well as a higher tax rate. As a result, we expect Reported EPS of $0.60 and Adjusted EPS of $0.63 per share, a 2% increase from last year’s Adjusted Q4 EPS1.”

Non-GAAP Measures:

The following discussion addresses the non-GAAP measures used in this press release and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures. The following non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures provided by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation and items and events being excluded.

Organic Sales Growth:

This press release provides information regarding organic sales growth, namely net sales growth excluding the effect of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign exchange rate changes. Management believes that the presentation of organic sales growth is useful to investors because it enables them to assess, on a consistent basis, sales trends related to products that were marketed by the Company during the entirety of relevant periods, excluding the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, and foreign exchange rate changes that are out of the control of, and do not reflect the performance of the Company and management.

Adjusted Selling, General, and Administrative Expense (SG&A):

This press release also presents adjusted SG&A, namely, SG&A calculated in accordance with GAAP, as adjusted to exclude significant one-time items that are not indicative of the Company’s period-to-period performance. We believe that this metric provides investors a useful perspective of underlying business trends and results and provides useful supplemental information regarding our year over year SG&A expense.

Adjusted Income from Operations:

This press release also presents adjusted income from operations, namely income from operations calculated in accordance with GAAP, as adjusted to exclude significant one-time items that are not indicative of the Company’s period-to-period performance. We believe that this metric provides investors a useful perspective of underlying business trends and results and provides useful supplemental information regarding our year over year income from operations.

Adjusted EPS:

This press release also presents adjusted earnings per share, namely, EPS calculated in accordance with GAAP, as adjusted to exclude significant one-time items that are not indicative of the Company’s period-to-period performance. We believe that this metric provides investors a useful perspective of underlying business trends and results and provides useful supplemental information regarding our year over year EPS growth.
