The company posted an adjusted earnings per share of $0.87, below the expected $0.90, and revenue of $580.7 million, missing the forecast of $591.01 million. This marks a challenging quarter, with international sales growing by 3% while North American sales declined by 4%. Following these results, Canaccord Genuity adjusted its outlook on Edgewell by lowering the price target to $35 from $40, though it maintained a Buy recommendation. Canaccord’s analysis highlighted factors that might lead to a sales upswing in the latter half of the year, including potential improvements in sun care sales and resolution of supply chain issues.

Edgewell’s management has revised their annual guidance downward, anticipating a sales rebound in the second half of 2025 despite ongoing challenges such as tariff pressures and higher advertising costs. The company projects adjusted EPS for the full year between $2.85 and $3.05. Edgewell’s adjusted gross margin improved by 100 basis points, and the company reported an adjusted EBITDA of $99.3 million. Analysts noted that the ongoing tariff situation could impact North American market recovery, estimating tariff impacts at $3-4 million for the year. Despite these challenges, Edgewell remains focused on strategic investments and operational improvements to navigate the competitive market environment.
