Executive summary

  • Q1 FY26 net sales declined 3.3% year-over-year to $677.0 million, but net income from continuing operations rose 19.5% to $29.4 million, driven by a one-time tax benefit and lower share count.

  • Global Pet Care returned to growth, with net sales up 8.3% (organic +5.8%), while Home & Garden and Home & Personal Care saw declines.

  • Nearly $60 million in adjusted free cash flow was generated, and significant capital was returned to shareholders through buybacks, including a new $300 million repurchase program.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
