EWING, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (NYSE: CHD) today announced reported third quarter 2020 EPS of $0.85, a 37.1% increase versus year ago. Adjusted EPS, which excludes a favorable acquisition related earn-out adjustment, grew 6.1% to $0.70.2
Third quarter net sales grew 13.9% to $1,241.0 million. The Company continued to experience a significant increase in consumer demand for many of its products, primarily in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Organic sales grew 9.9% driven by a volume increase of 10.2%, partially offset by 0.3% from unfavorable product mix and pricing in support of new products. Volume growth was driven by higher consumption and restocking of retailer inventories.
Matthew Farrell, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Q3 was an extraordinarily strong quarter for Church & Dwight. Both our household and personal care businesses delivered higher volume growth as consumers and retailers focused on core essentials. Our brands experienced strong consumption in Q3 and we continue to see similar strength in October. The pandemic drove double digit consumption growth in most domestic categories, especially gummy vitamins, women’s hair removal, cleaners, and baking soda. Restrictions on consumer mobility continued to suppress the condoms and dry shampoo categories, although we saw significant sequential improvement in Q3. Consumption of water flossers was flat in Q3 and positive for October, after experiencing double-digit declines in Q2. Year-to-date shipments and consumption are generally in balance for our brands. However, retailer in-stocks continue to lag normal levels for some brands, including gummy vitamins, baking soda, and cleaners. Online sales as a percentage of total sales continued to grow rapidly and reached 13% of sales in Q3, up from 8% last year. The International business had a strong quarter despite the global COVID-19 pandemic, with extremely strong and broad-based consumption increases across many countries and brands. After 3 consecutive quarters of growth, SPD sales contracted primarily in the non-dairy segment.
“In this unusual time, our focus is on the safety of our employees, meeting the needs of our customers and consumers, and ensuring our brands are even stronger moving forward. I want to again thank Church & Dwight employees around the world for their dedication to keeping our Company going during the pandemic, especially our manufacturing and distribution employees and lab technicians.”
Third Quarter Review
Consumer Domestic net sales were $954.6 million, a $127.0 million or 15.3% increase driven by household and personal care sales growth. Organic sales increased 10.7% due to higher volume (+11.1%), offset by lower price and product mix (-0.4%) as a result of increased promotion and couponing for new products. Strong consumption was the primary driver for the sales increase. Organic sales growth was led by VITAFUSION® and L’IL CRITTERS® gummy vitamins, WATERPIK® oral care products, ARM & HAMMER® liquid laundry detergent, OXICLEAN® stain fighters, KABOOM® bathroom cleaners, ARM & HAMMER® clumping cat litter and baking soda, and FIRST RESPONSE® diagnostic kits.
Consumer International net sales were $213.6 million, a $27.2 million or 14.6% increase versus the prior year. Organic sales increased 11.6% due to higher volume (+11.7%). Organic sales growth was driven primarily by the Global Markets Group and Canada.
Specialty Products net sales were $72.8 million, a $2.6 million or 3.4% decrease. Organic sales also decreased 3.4% due to lower volume (-3.8%) offset by higher pricing (+0.4%). The lower volume was primarily driven by the non-dairy Animal and Food Production and specialty chemical businesses as they face continuing challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic reducing demand.
Gross margin decreased 110 basis points to 45.5% due to the impact of tariffs, COVID-19 pandemic related expenses, higher manufacturing costs due to outsourcing, and acquisition accounting, partially offset by productivity improvements. Specifically, gross margin was impacted by a 200 basis point headwind in the quarter, from the year-over-year impact of tariffs (-110 basis points), and acquisition accounting (-90 basis points).
Marketing expense was $170.9 million, an increase of $45.7 million or 36.5% reflecting brand investments to provide momentum going into 2021. Marketing expense as a percentage of net sales increased 230 basis points to 13.8%.
Selling, general, and administrative expense (SG&A) was $120.5 million or 9.7% of net sales, a 550 basis point decrease, primarily due to an acquisition related earn-out adjustment. Adjusted SG&A of $171.5 million decreased 30 basis points as a percentage of net sales primarily due to leverage from strong sales growth. 2
Income from Operations was $273.8 million or 22.0% of net sales. Adjusted Income from Operations was $222.8 million or 17.9% of net sales excluding the acquisition related earn-out adjustment. 2
Other Expense of $12.3 million declined $3.9 million due to lower interest expense resulting from lower interest rates.
The effective tax rate was 17.3% compared to 21.6% in 2019, a decrease of 430 basis points, primarily driven by higher tax benefits related to stock option exercises.
Operating Cash Flow
Cash flow continues to be exceptionally strong. For the first nine months of 2020, cash from operating activities increased 29.3% to $798.2 million, a $180.7 million increase from the prior year due to higher cash earnings and an improvement in working capital. Capital expenditures for the first nine months were $54.6 million, a $14.9 million increase from the prior year. Full year capex spending is expected to be approximately $100 million, reflecting plans for expansion in manufacturing capacity for laundry, litter, and vitamins. Due to our strong cash position, the Company may resume stock purchases in the future.
At September 30, 2020, cash on hand was $549.1 million, while total debt was $1,813.5 million.
2020 New Products
Mr. Farrell commented, “Innovation continues to be a big driver of our success. In support of our long-term strategy to drive revenue and earnings growth, we launched new products in several categories in 2020. VITAFUSION new gummy vitamin products include Triple Immune Power, Apple Cider Vinegar, Organic Prenatal Multi, and IRRESISTIBLE SKIN™. To capitalize on increased consumer interest in immunity, VITAFUSION launched POWER ZINC™ and Elderberry gummies in both adult and kids’ variants. WATERPIK® is having great success in the second year of the SONIC FUSION® launch. We launched ARM & HAMMER CLEAN & SIMPLE™ laundry detergent which has only 6 ingredients plus water, on trend with consumers’ desire for ‘better for me’ products, which are simple and have fewer ingredients. We launched ARM & HAMMER CLUMP & SEAL ABSORBx™ clumping cat litter, a first of its kind revolutionary new litter made from DESERT DRY MINERALS™ that is 55% lighter than our regular litter. TROJAN® launched the TROJAN G SPOT™ condom featuring a unique shape for targeted stimulation. FLAWLESS® launched NU RAZOR™, a waterless whole-body hair removal product for women to use anywhere, anytime.”
Outlook for 2020
Mr. Farrell stated, “2020 is shaping up to be another outstanding year for Church & Dwight. The Company is well positioned in the current economic environment and the future, due to a combination of being in the right categories and having a balance of value and premium brands and the ability to make investments.
“Given our strong year to date performance, we have raised our full year outlook for sales, EPS, and cash flow. We now expect approximately 11% full year 2020 sales growth (previously 9-10%) and approximately 9% organic sales growth (previously 7-8%). Our cash from operations is now expected to be $975 million or a 13% increase versus prior year.
“We will continue to make incremental investments in Q4 as a result of our strong results. As in years past, these actions help the Company enter the coming year with momentum. Specifically, we expect significantly higher marketing spending, investments for surge capacity in manufacturing, R&D, new product development, consumer research, digital advertising, and predictive analytics. These investments have historically proven to position the Company for future growth.
“We expect gross margin to contract 20 basis points for the full year due to tariffs on WATERPIK products, COVID-19 related costs, new product support, the impact of acquisition accounting, and incremental manufacturing and distribution capacity investments. Due to non-recurring Q4 supply chain costs, we now expect second half gross margin to be down 190 basis points (previously down 150 basis points). Our marketing as a percentage of sales is now expected to be flat for the full year given significant increases in the back half. Accordingly, we now expect adjusted EPS growth to be $2.79 to $2.81 or up 13%-14%.1
“In Q4, we expect reported sales growth of approximately 9%, organic sales growth of approximately 8%, gross margin contraction, significantly higher marketing expense, and a lower tax rate. As a result, we expect Q4 EPS to be $0.50-$0.52 per share excluding the acquisition earn-out adjustment.”1

This press release does not provide a forward-looking reconciliation of adjusted EPS to reported EPS, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, expected for 2020 or the fourth quarter of 2020, because we are unable to provide such a reconciliation without unreasonable effort. We have excluded the Company’s potential earn-out liability from our acquisition of the FLAWLESS business from our expected adjusted EPS for these periods. We are required to review the fair value of the earn-out liability quarterly based on changes in sales forecasts, discount rates, volatility assumptions, and other inputs. Our inability to provide a reconciliation to GAAP EPS for future periods is due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting what these changes will be on a quarter-by-quarter basis. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to our future results. |

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 a significant one-time item that is 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.
