# PART I

Prior to the sale of our VITAFUSION® and L'IL CRITTERS® (“VMS”) business at the end of 2025, we included VMS as an eighth “power brand.”

The VMS business which was divested on December 31, 2025 is included in all values and statements, unless otherwise noted.

On July 16, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of Touchland Holding Corp (“Touchland”), the developer of TOUCHLAND® hand sanitizer products (the “Touchland Acquisition”).

The Company paid $656.0 million, net of cash acquired, at closing and entered an agreement to pay an additional amount based on 2025 net sales thresholds which will result in a cash payment of $159.0 million to be paid in the first half of 2026.

In addition, the Company granted rights to Touchland’s founder to receive shares of our common stock valued at $50.0 million, with 50% of such shares vesting at each of the first-and-second year anniversaries of the closing.

The value of common stock received by Touchland's founder will be recognized as compensation expense ratably over the two-year vesting period if the individual continues to be employed by the Company.

Payment of a $5.0 million portion of the purchase price was deferred related to certain indemnification obligations provided by Touchland’s equity holders, which amount, to the extent not used in satisfaction of such indemnity obligations, is payable three years from the closing.

The Touchland Acquisition was financed with cash on hand and is managed in the Consumer Domestic and Consumer International segments.

Touchland’s annual net sales for the year ended December 31, 2024 were approximately $115.0 million.

*Divestitures and Business Exits*

On May 1, 2025, we announced that we would exit the Flawless, Spinbrush and Waterpik showerhead businesses, which we exited by the end of 2025.

These businesses generated approximately $118.0 million of annual Net Sales in 2025.

As a direct result of these actions, we recorded a pre-tax charge of $45.6 million (post-tax of $34.5 million) in 2025, of which $25.0 million was recorded in Cost of Sales and $20.6 million was recorded in SG&A.

The charge was recorded in the second quarter within the Consumer Domestic segment and was comprised of non-cash charges related to impairments of intangible and fixed assets, as well as charges related to inventory valuation.

A reduction to the second-quarter charge was recorded in the fourth quarter, reflecting final costs to exit the Spinbrush business.

On December 9, 2025, the Company announced a definitive agreement to sell the VitaFusion and L’il Critters brands to Piping Rock Health Products, Inc. The sale was completed on December 31, 2025, and included the VitaFusion and L’il Critters brands, relevant trademarks and licenses, and Church & Dwight's former manufacturing and distribution facilities in Vancouver and Ridgefield, Washington.

The VMS brands represented less than 5% of our 2025 net sales.

As a result of this transaction, we incurred a one-time, pre-tax charge of $58.5 million (post-tax of $45.6 million) in the fourth quarter of 2025 which is included in Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The decision to reposition our portfolio with these business exits enables us to devote greater focus to our portfolio’s faster growing value and premium product lines.

The Governance, Nominating & Corporate Responsibility Committee focuses on governance, brands, products, packaging, responsible sourcing, environmental, and all other areas of our Sustainability Program not otherwise overseen by the Compensation & Human Capital Committee and the Audit Committee.

Our Compensation & Human Capital Committee focuses on issues related to our people.

Our Audit Committee oversees our compliance and ethics program.

Our Compensation & Human Capital Committee and Board also review the results of our periodic employee engagement surveys and has oversight over our planned response strategy.

Further, consumer preferences continue to evolve due to a number of factors, including fragmentation of the consumer market and changes in consumer demographics, including the aging of the general population and the emergence of Generation Z and Generation Alpha who have different spending, consumption and purchasing habits and are increasingly shifting to “private label” products and new nontraditional brands rather than maintaining allegiance to historical brands; evolving consumer concerns or perceptions regarding sustainability practices of manufacturers, including the environmental impacts of products and the sourcing and sustainability of, packaging materials, such as plastic

We believe that inflation drove a decline in consumer spending for our Waterpik brand, as a growing number of water flosser consumers switched to competitors' value-branded products.

We may be unable to successfully identify, finance, complete and integrate future strategic acquisitions, or successfully complete or realize the anticipated benefits of strategic divestitures.

In addition, acquisitions and investments entail various risks, including the difficulty of entering new markets, product categories, or business models, the challenges of integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired

To the extent that the economic benefits associated with an acquisition or investment diminish in the future we may be required to record impairments of intangible assets.

In addition, if the performance of an acquired company or business is less robust than expected, the Company has in the past recorded, and may, in the future, be required to record, impairments of intangible assets.

Any impairment charges could adversely affect the Company's financial condition, margins and results of operations.

In 2025, we exited from the Flawless, Spinbrush, Waterpik showerhead businesses and divested of our VMS business.

We completed the sale of our VMS business at the end of 2025.

When we undertake to divest assets or a business, we may encounter difficulty finding buyers or executing alternative exit strategies, which could impact the achievement of our strategic objectives.

We could also fail to obtain necessary regulatory approval or incur unexpected or higher costs or charges than planned and could experience unanticipated impacts to our business, any of which could have a negative impact on our results of operations.

Investments in our facilities and operations, including investments in new facilities, equipment, technologies and digital transformation, may result in periods of decreased production or increased costs and such investments may not achieve the intended financial benefits.

We incur significant costs on an ongoing basis to upgrade and maintain various facilities, equipment, or technologies, including data management, improved equipment, and artificial intelligence to upgrade our operations and increase productivity.

PART I

On June 3, 2024, the Company acquired substantially all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Graphico, Inc. (“Graphico”), a Japan-based distributor focused on consumer goods primarily in the Japanese market (the “Graphico Acquisition”).

The Company paid $19.9 million, net of cash acquired, at closing.

The Company acquired the remaining minority shares for approximately $2.0 million in July 2024.

productivity of dairy cows.

During the first quarter of 2024, we exited the MEGALAC supplement portion of our Animal Nutrition business.

Net sales of the MEGALAC business for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $7.6 million and $38.1 million, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2024, we sold our Passport food safety business, Passport Food Safety Solutions, Inc. Net sales of the Passport business for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $6.4 million and $13.0 million, respectively.

We and Safety-Kleen Systems, Inc. (“Safety-Kleen”) were equal partners in a joint venture, ARMAKLEEN®, which has built a specialty cleaning products business based on our technology and Safety-Kleen’s sales and distribution organization.

In October 2024, we sold our 50% interest in The ArmaKleen Company to Safety-Kleen.

The transaction was not material to the Company’s results of operations or cash flows.

In their everyday work, employees embody our commitments to integrity, quality, and innovation, and in doing so, directly contribute to our long-standing character and reputation.

We are committed to transparency and accountability that will drive continuous progress.

As part of our commitment to transparency and accountability, we publish workplace demographics of our employees in our Sustainability Reports.

In addition to competition across all our product categories, there continues to be significant product competition in the gummy dietary supplement category, which has grown from about 10 competitors a decade ago to more than 60 competitors of significance in recent years, contributing, together with supply chain challenges that resulted in increased shelf space and/ or display for certain of our competitors, to an impairment in our VMS business in the third quarter of 2024.

Further, consumer preferences continue to evolve due to a number of factors, including fragmentation of the consumer market and changes in consumer

service levels or real or perceived product quality or appearance issues.

In addition, our Specialty Products business has been and may continue to be negatively impacted by the entrance of new foreign competition in the United States dairy market.

We expect that low-priced imports will continue to enter the market.

During the first quarter of 2024, due to declining sales, we exited the MEGALAC supplement portion of our Animal Nutrition business within our Specialty Products Division segment and during the second quarter of 2024, we sold our food safety business, Passport Food Safety Solutions, Inc. During the fourth quarter of 2024, our 50% interest in The ArmaKleen Company was sold to our joint venture partner.

We believe that inflation is continuing to drive a decline in consumer spending for our most discretionary brands, Waterpik and Flawless, as consumers reduce spending in these categories and shift to lower cost alternatives.

Most notably, a growing number of water flosser consumers are continuing to switch to competitors' value-branded products.

Moreover, in our vitamin business, we are experiencing significant product competition coming from new category entrants, including private label, which contributed to the previously announced impairment in our VMS business.

In addition, our Specialty Products business has been negatively impacted by the return of foreign competition in the United States dairy market.

We have pursued and may continue to pursue strategic acquisitions and divestitures.

Adverse economic conditions continue to impact a portion of our businesses.

We believe that inflation and recessionary concerns are continuing to drive a decline in consumer spending for our most discretionary brands, Waterpik and Flawless, as consumers reduce spending in these categories and shift to lower cost alternatives.

Moreover, in our vitamin business, we are experiencing significant product competition coming from new category entrants, including private label that resulted in increased shelf space and/ or display for certain of our competitors.

Overall, we have continued to experience increased online sales.

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company continued to experience a decline in market share and a deterioration in the financial performance for its Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements (“VMS”) business, which includes the VITAFUSION and L’IL CRITTERS trade names, primarily due to significant product competition coming from new category entrants, including private label, and supply chain challenges that resulted in increased shelf space and/ or display for certain of our competitors.

The continued decline in profitability caused management to reassess its long-term strategy and financial outlook of the business.

The revised financial outlook reflects lower estimates of future sales growth and cash flows which resulted in a triggering event in the third quarter.

The triggering event required the Company to review the carrying value of long-lived assets supporting the business in connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, resulting in impairment charges of $357.1 in the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

The revised financial outlook reflects lower estimates of future sales growth and cash flows resulting in a triggering event which required the Company to review the carrying value of long-lived assets supporting the business and resulted in impairment charges as discussed in more detail in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our well-recognized brands include ARM & HAMMER® baking soda, cat litter, laundry detergent, carpet deodorizer and other baking soda-based products; OXICLEAN® stain removers, cleaning solutions, laundry detergents and bleach alternatives; [removed: VITAFUSION® and L’IL CRITTERS® gummy dietary supplements for adults and children, respectively;] [added: TOUCHLAND® hand sanitizers;] BATISTE® dry shampoo; WATERPIK® water [removed: flossers and showerheads;] [added: flossers;] THERABREATH® oral care products; HERO® acne treatment products; TROJAN condoms, lubricants and vibrators; [removed: SPINBRUSH battery-operated toothbrushes;] FIRST RESPONSE home pregnancy and ovulation test kits; NAIR depilatories; ORAJEL oral analgesic; XTRA laundry detergent; and ZICAM cold shortening and relief products.

Those seven brands are ARM & HAMMER®; OXICLEAN®; [removed: VITAFUSION® and L’IL CRITTERS®;] [added: TOUCHLAND®;] BATISTE®; WATERPIK®; THERABREATH®; and HERO® and represent approximately 70% of our net sales and profits.

In [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] the Consumer Domestic, Consumer International and SPD segments represented approximately 77%, 18% and 5%, respectively, of our consolidated net sales.

[removed: Net] [added: Segment net] sales [added: and income from operations] for [added: each of] the [added: three] years ended December 31, [added: 2025,] 2024 and 2023 were [removed: $7.6 and $38.1, respectively.][added: as follows:]

The [removed: Graphico] [added: Touchland] Acquisition was financed with cash on [removed: hand, is expected to contribute to greater expansion of our business in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region,] [added: hand] and is managed in the Consumer [added: Domestic and Consumer] International [removed: segment.][added: segments.]

[removed: Net sales for the years ended December] [added: RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER] 31, [added: 2025,] 2024 [removed: and 2023 were $6.4 and $13.0, respectively.][added: AND 2023]

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company continued to experience a decline in market share and a deterioration in the financial performance [removed: for] [added: of] its [removed: Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements ("VMS")] [added: VMS] business, which includes the VITAFUSION and L'IL CRITTERS trade [removed: name,] [added: names,] primarily due to significant product competition coming from new category entrants, including private label.

The revised financial outlook [removed: reflects] [added: reflected] lower estimates of future sales growth and cash flows which resulted in a triggering event in the third quarter.

On January [removed: 29, 2025,] [added: 28, 2026,] the Board declared a [removed: 4%] [added: 4.2%] increase in the regular quarterly dividend from [removed: $0.28375] [added: $0.295] to [removed: $ 0.295] [added: $0.3075] per share (equivalent to an annual dividend of [removed: $1.18] [added: $1.23] per share) payable to stockholders of record as of February [removed: 14, 2025.][added: 13, 2026.]

The increase raises the annualized dividend payout from [removed: $277.0] [added: $287.0] to approximately [removed: $287.0] [added: $291.0] on an annualized basis.

[removed: *2024] [added: *2025] Financial Highlights*

Key [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] financial results include:

Net sales for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] grew [removed: 4.1%] [added: 1.6%] over [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] with gains in Consumer Domestic and Consumer International, partially offset by lower sales in [removed: SPD.][added: SPD due to divestitures.]

The [added: 2025] gains [removed: are primarily due to favorable volumes, and pricing/product mix across all three segments, including] [added: include] the benefit of recent acquisitions in Consumer Domestic and Consumer International, partially offset by the exit of product lines in [removed: SPD] [added: all three segments, a decline in vitamin sales in Consumer Domestic] and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates in Consumer International.

The 2024 operating margin includes a non-cash charge of [removed: $357.1 or 580 basis points] [added: $357.1,] related to the impairment of the VITAFUSION and L'IL CRITTERS indefinite-lived trade name as well as a definite-lived customer relationship intangible asset and PP&E specific to the VMS business.

We reported diluted net earnings per share in [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] of [removed: $2.37, a decrease] [added: $3.02, an increase] of approximately [removed: 22.3%] [added: 27.4%] from [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] diluted net earnings per share of [removed: $3.05.][added: $2.37.]

Earnings per share in 2024 includes the non-cash VMS trade name and other asset impairment charges of $1.10 per [removed: share.][added: share and $0.08 for acquisition-related restricted stock amortization, partially offset by $0.11 for a favorable tariff ruling.]

Excluding [removed: the impairment charges, 2024] [added: these charges] diluted net earnings per share [added: in 2025] was [removed: $3.47] [added: $3.53, a 2.6% increase] compared to [removed: 2023] diluted earnings per share [added: in 2024] of [removed: $3.05.][added: $3.44.]

While a vast majority of our products are consumer staples and less vulnerable to decreases in discretionary spending than other products, certain of our [removed: products,] [added: products] are more likely to be affected by consumer decisions to control spending.

Some retail customers have responded to economic conditions by increasing their private label offerings (primarily in the [removed: dietary supplements,] stain fighters, diagnostic kits and oral analgesics categories), launching their own brands, and consolidating the product selections they offer to the top few leading brands in each category.

We intend to continue to aggressively pursue several key strategic initiatives: maintain competitive marketing and trade spending, tightly control our cost structure, expand our online market share by continuing to invest in e-commerce (global on-line sales were 21.4% of [removed: consumer sales in 2024), expand our presence and product offerings to consumers outside of the United States, continue to develop and launch new and differentiated products, pursue strategic acquisitions, continue to grow our product sales globally and maintain an offering of premium and value brand products to appeal to a wide range of consumers.]

Our global product portfolio consists of both premium [removed: (64%] [added: (66%] of total worldwide consumer revenue in [removed: 2024)] [added: 2025)] and value [removed: (36%] [added: (34%] of total worldwide consumer revenue in [removed: 2024)] [added: 2025)] brands, which we believe enables us to succeed in a range of economic environments.

Over the past two [added: two] decades, we have diversified from an almost exclusively U.S. business to a global company with approximately 18% of sales derived from countries outside of the United States in [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] and we believe ongoing international expansion represents a significant opportunity to grow our business.

We also export products to over [removed: 130] [added: 100] other countries through our Global Markets Group using a broad network of third-party distributors.

In [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] we benefited from our expanded global footprint and expect to continue to focus on selectively expanding our global business.

Historically, we have been able to mitigate the effects of cost increases [added: including tariffs] primarily by implementing cost reduction programs and, to a lesser extent, by passing along cost increases to customers.

The identification and integration of strategic acquisitions [removed: are] [added: is] an important component of our overall strategy and product category diversification.

This is evidenced by our 2015 acquisition of certain assets of Varied Industries [removed: Corporation (the “Vi-cor Acquisition”),] [added: Corporation,] the 2016 acquisitions of Spencer Forrest, Inc., the maker of TOPPIK (the “Toppik Acquisition”), and the ANUSOL and RECTINOL businesses from Johnson & Johnson (the “Anusol Acquisition”), the 2017 acquisitions of the VIVISCAL brand from Lifes2Good Holdings Limited (the “Viviscal Acquisition”), and the WATERPIK brand from Pik Holdings, Inc. (the “Waterpik Acquisition”), the 2020 acquisition of the ZICAM brand from Consumer Health Holdco LLC, the 2021 acquisition of the THERABREATH brand from Dr. Harold Katz, LLC and HK-IP International, Inc, [added: the] 2022 acquisition of the HERO brand which includes the MIGHTY PATCH acne treatment [removed: products and] [added: products, the] 2024 acquisition of Graphico, Inc. (the “Graphico Acquisition”), a Japan-based [removed: distributor.][added: distributor, and the 2025 acquisition of TOUCHLAND® hand sanitizers.]

We believe we are well positioned to meet the ongoing challenges described above due to our strong financial condition, experience operating in challenging [removed: environments] [added: environments, talented] and [added: dedicated employees and] continued focus on key strategic initiatives.

[added: Our focus is to maintain competitive marketing and] trade spending, manage our cost structure, continue to develop and launch new and differentiated products, while pursuing strategic acquisitions.

With regard to [removed: other] promotional reserves and sales returns, we use experience-based estimates, customer and sales organization inputs and historical trend analysis in arriving at the reserves required.

If our estimates for promotional activities and sales returns reserves were to change by 10%, the impact to promotional spending and sales return accruals would be approximately [removed: $14.7.][added: $12.8.]

We determined that the fair value of all indefinite-lived intangible assets for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] exceeded their respective carrying values based upon the forecasted cash flows and profitability, with the exception of our VMS business described below.

The assets supporting the VMS business [removed: include] [added: included] the VITAFUSION and L'IL CRITTERS indefinite-lived trade name, a definite-lived customer relationship intangible asset and PP&E specific to our VMS business.

The assumptions used in the model [removed: require] [added: required] significant judgement in determining the expected future cash flows.

Estimates [removed: are] [added: were] based on market conditions and management’s current expectation of the success of growth and profitability initiatives.

[removed: As a result, the WATERPIK business] [added: This] has [removed: experienced declining sales] [added: reduced sales, profits,] and [removed: profits resulting in a reduction in] expected [removed: future] cash [removed: flows which have eroded a substantial portion] [added: flows, eroding much] of the excess [removed: between the] fair [removed: and] [added: value over] carrying value [removed: of] [added: for] the [added: WATERPIK] trade name.

The carrying value of the WATERPIK trade name is $644.7 [added: million] and [added: the] fair value represented [removed: 135%] [added: 117%] of the carrying value as of October 1, [removed: 2024.][added: 2025.]

*Income [added: and other] Taxes*

We adjust this liability [removed: as a result of] [added: due to] changes in tax legislation, interpretations of laws by courts, guidance and rulings issued by tax authorities, changes in estimates and the expiration of the statute of limitations.

Prior to the sale of our VITAFUSION® and L'IL CRITTERS® (“VMS”) business at the end of 2025, we included VMS as an eighth “power brand.”

Global Economic Conditions and Trade Policies

We have experienced increased commodity cost volatility and economic uncertainty primarily due to changes in U.S. trade policies including ongoing reviews and modifications to tariffs and other U.S. trade measures.

We continue to evaluate these evolving developments and have taken actions to mitigate their impact on our business, including taking strategic actions for certain business lines (see *Strategic Business Decisions* below), shifting production and relocating manufacturing operations, finding alternative sources of supply, most notably ceasing the import of substantially all Waterpik flossers and other products from China into the U.S., potentially increasing prices, adjusting inventories, lobbying and seeking exemptions with respect to tariffs.

While the tariffs remain fluid, we are focused on managing these challenges.

We believe our existing tariff cost exposure will be mitigated through the above-mentioned actions, future additional supply chain efforts and surgical pricing.

Strategic Business Decisions

On May 1, 2025, we announced that we would exit the Flawless, Spinbrush and Waterpik showerhead businesses.

We exited these businesses by the end of 2025.

These businesses generated approximately $118.0 of annual Net Sales in 2025.

We recorded a pre-tax charge of $45.6 (post-tax of $34.5) in 2025 as a direct result of these actions, of which $25.0 was recorded in Cost of sales and $20.6 was recorded in SG&A.

The charge was primarily recorded in the second quarter to the Consumer Domestic segment and was comprised of non-cash charges related to impairments of intangible and fixed assets, as well as charges related to inventory valuation.

A reduction to the second quarter charge was recorded in the fourth quarter related to final costs to exit the Spinbrush business.

On December 9, 2025, the Company announced a definitive agreement to sell the VitaFusion and L’il Critters brands to Piping Rock Health Products, Inc. This agreement includes the VitaFusion and L’il Critters brands, relevant trademarks and licenses, and the Company's former manufacturing and distribution facilities in Vancouver and Ridgefield, Washington.

The transaction closed on December 31, 2025.

The VMS brands represented less than 5% of our 2025 net sales.

As a result of this transaction, we incurred a one-time, pre-tax charge of $58.5 (post-tax of $45.6) in the fourth quarter of 2025 which is included in in Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The decision to reposition our portfolio with these business exits enables us to devote greater focus to our portfolio’s faster growing value and premium product lines.

In May 2025, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase ("ASR") contract with a commercial bank to purchase Common Stock.

The Company paid $300.0 to the bank, inclusive of fees, and received 2.8 million shares in May 2025 and 0.3 million shares in August 2025 at an average total share price of $95.71.

The Company purchased all 3.1 million shares under the evergreen share repurchase program and used cash on hand to fund the purchase price.

In August and September 2025, the Company executed open market purchases of 3.2 million shares for $300.0, inclusive of fees, of which $170.0 was purchased under the evergreen share repurchase program and $130.0 was purchased under the 2021 Share Repurchase Program (as defined below).

The shares were purchased at an average share price of $92.81 and the Company used cash on hand to fund the open market purchases.

In November and December 2025, the Company executed open market purchases of 3.6 million shares for $300.0, inclusive of fees, of which all 3.6 million shares were purchased under the 2021 Share Repurchase Program.

The shares were purchased at an average share price of $83.59 and the Company used cash on hand to fund the open market purchases.

One Big Beautiful Bill Act

On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the legislation formally titled "An Act to Provide for Reconciliation Pursuant to Title II of H.

Con.

Res.

14” and commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”).

The legislation includes several provisions that may impact the timing and magnitude of certain tax deductions.

Key provisions include the permanent extension of several key elements of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including 100% bonus depreciation and an immediate tax deduction for domestic research costs.

The tax provisions in OBBBA did not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations, and had a minimal benefit to operating cash flows.

Touchland Acquisition

On July 16, 2025, we completed the acquisition of Touchland Holding Corp ("Touchland"), the developer of TOUCHLAND® hand sanitizer products (the "Touchland Acquisition").

We paid $656.0, net of cash acquired, at closing and entered an agreement to pay an additional amount based on 2025 net sales thresholds which will result in a cash payment of $159.0 to be paid in the first half of 2026.

In addition, the Company granted rights to Touchland’s founder to receive shares of our Common Stock valued at $50.0, with 50% of such shares vesting at each of the first and second year anniversaries of the closing.

The value of Common Stock received by Touchland's founder will be recognized as a compensation expense ratably over the two-year vesting period if the individual continues to be employed by the Company.

Payment of a $5.0 portion of the purchase price was deferred related to certain indemnification obligations provided by Touchland’s equityholders, which amount, to the extent not used in satisfaction of such indemnity obligations, is payable three years from the closing.

New Credit Agreement

Pillar Two Tax Laws

In October 2021, members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) agreed to a global minimum tax rate of 15%.

In December 2021, OECD published its model rules on the agreed minimum tax known as the Global Anti-Base Erosion (“GloBE”) or Pillar Two rules.

The Pillar Two rules are designed to be implemented into the domestic law of each jurisdiction to ensure large multinational enterprise groups are subject to a minimum effective tax rate of 15% in each jurisdiction where they operate.

In December 2022, the European Union (“EU”) Member States formally adopted the EU’s Pillar Two Directive.

January 1, 2024 marked the official effective date of the 15% global corporate minimum tax imposed by the EU's Pillar Two Directive.

We are monitoring developments and evaluating the impacts of the Pillar Two rules on our tax rate.

Based on current legislation and available guidance, we do not anticipate a material impact to the Company.

Sale of MEGALAC supplement portfolio

During the first quarter of 2024, we exited the MEGALAC supplement portion of our Animal Nutrition business within our SPD segment.

On June 3, 2024, we acquired substantially all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Graphico, Inc. ("Graphico"), a Japan-based distributor focused on consumer goods primarily in the Japanese market (the “Graphico Acquisition”).

We paid $19.9, net of cash acquired, at closing.

We acquired the remaining minority shares for approximately $2.0 in July 2024.

Sale of Passport Food Safety Business

During the second quarter of 2024, we sold our Passport food safety business, Passport Food Safety Solutions, Inc., with assets of $7.0, inclusive of intangible assets of $2.7 and corresponding goodwill of $1.0, for cash proceeds of $6.6 and $0.5 held in escrow for a gain of $0.1.

Favorable Tariff Ruling

During the second quarter of 2024, we received a favorable tariff ruling from the U.S. government associated with certain products imported from China, which resulted in $40.1 of cash refunds (pre tax) in the year ended December 31, 2024.

The refunds resulted in a $31.6 reduction of Cost of goods sold and an increase in Interest income of $4.8 in the year ended December 31, 2024.

Vitamin Business Intangible Impairment

The continued decline in profitability caused management to reassess its long-term strategy and financial outlook of the business.

The triggering event required the Company to review the carrying value of assets supporting the business resulting in impairment charges of $357.1 in the year ended December 31, 2024.

Sale of 50% Ownership in Joint Venture

The Company’s 50% interest in The ArmaKleen Company was sold to our joint venture partner in October of 2024.

The transaction is not material to the Company’s results of operations or cash flows.

Gross margin increased 160 basis points to 45.7% in 2024 from 44.1% in 2023, which includes an approximate 50 basis point benefit from a favorable tariff ruling.

Excluding the tariff ruling gross margin increased due to the positive impact of productivity programs, favorable price/volume/mix, and business acquisition benefits, offset by higher manufacturing costs including labor and higher commodities.

Operating margin decreased 470 basis points to 13.3% in 2024 from 18.0% in 2023.

Excluding the impairment charge, operating margin increased 110 basis points due to favorable gross margins, slightly offset by higher marketing expenses.

Cash provided by operations was $1,156.2 in 2024, a $125.6 increase from the prior year primarily due to an increase in cash earnings (net income adjusted for non-cash items).

We returned $277.0 in 2024 to our stockholders through cash dividends paid.

Our focus is to maintain competitive marketing and

For example, we use historical experience to project coupon redemption rates to determine reserve requirements.

Based on the total face value of Consumer Domestic coupons redeemed over the past several years, if the actual rate of redemptions were to deviate by 0.1% from the rate for which reserves are accrued in the financial statements, a difference of approximately $0.1 in the reserve required for coupons would result.

While management believes that its promotional and sales returns reserves are reasonable and that appropriate judgments have been made, estimated amounts could differ materially from actual future obligations.

The continued decline in profitability caused management to reassess its

long-term strategy and financial outlook of the business.

Our global WATERPIK business has continued to experience a significant decline in customer demand for many of its products, primarily due to lower consumer spending for discretionary products resulting in part from inflation and a growing number of water flosser consumers switching to more value-branded products.

This indefinite-lived intangible asset may be susceptible to impairment and a continued decline in fair value could trigger a future impairment charge of the WATERPIK trade name.

While management can and has implemented strategies to address the risk, significant changes in operating plans or adverse changes in the future could reduce the underlying cash flows used to estimate fair values and could result in a decline in fair value that could trigger future impairment charges of these assets.

The fair value represented 109% of the carrying value as of October 1, 2023.
