New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-04, Liabilities-Supplier Finance Programs (Topic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations, intended to add certain qualitative and quantitative disclosure requirements for a buyer in a supplier finance program. The amendments require a buyer that uses supplier finance programs to make annual disclosures about the program’s key terms, the balance sheet presentation of related amounts, the confirmed amount outstanding at the end of the period, and associated rollforward information. Only the amount outstanding at the end of the period must be disclosed in interim periods. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 on a retrospective basis, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the requirement to disclose rollforward information, which is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2023 which resulted in additional disclosures. Refer to Note 13.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant expenses. The amendments will require public entities to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within segment profit and loss. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure which includes amendments that further expand income tax disclosures, by requiring the disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation table, and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and are to be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on the Company’s related disclosures.
There have been no other accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted by the Company which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)
Basic EPS is calculated based on income (loss) available to holders of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted EPS includes additional dilution from potential Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Company's stock-based compensation plans.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding to the weighted average number of shares outstanding on a diluted basis:
| Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended | ||||||||||||||
| September 30, | September 30, | September 30, | September 30, | ||||||||||||
| 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | ||||||||||||
| Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic | 244.6 | 246.0 | 244.1 | 244.9 | |||||||||||
| Dilutive effect of stock options | 0.0 | (1) | 2.7 | 2.6 | 2.9 | ||||||||||
| Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted | 244.6 | 248.7 | 246.7 | 247.8 | |||||||||||
| Antidilutive stock options outstanding | 1.1 | 2.5 | 1.1 | 2.6 |
(1) Due to the net loss during the three months ended September 30, 2024, there was no dilutive effect of stock options because the impact would be antidilutive.
6.
Stock Based Com****pensation Plans
In the first quarter of 2023, the Company updated its Long-Term Incentive Program (“LTIP”) to provide employees with an award of stock options and initial grants of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and made an initial grant of performance share units ("PSUs") to members of the Company's Executive Leadership Team ("ELT"). In connection with this update, the awards are now granted in the first quarter of each year. Prior to 2023, the awards were granted in the second quarter. The Company recognizes the grant-date fair value for each of these awards, less estimated forfeitures, as compensation expense ratably over the vesting period. For employees and directors that meet retirement eligibility requirements, the expense related to share-based compensation is recognized on the date of grant as there is no future service period required for the awards to vest.
Stock Options
The following table provides a summary of option activity:

Restricted Stock Units
The Company granted employees 105,600 RSUs with a total fair value of $10.8 at a weighted average grant date fair value of $101.93 per RSU during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and granted employees 119,570 RSUs with a total fair value of $10.3 at a weighted average grant date fair value of $86.18 per RSU during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The annual RSU grants vest one-third on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date, subject to the recipient’s continued employment with the Company from the grant date through the applicable vesting date, and are settled with shares of the Company’s Common Stock within 60 days following the applicable vesting date.
Additionally, in connection with the Hero Acquisition (see Note 10), 854,882 shares of restricted stock were issued to certain individuals in October 2022 with a total fair value of $61.5. This restricted stock is recognized as compensation expense ratably over the vesting period if those individuals continue to be employed by the Company. The vesting requirements are satisfied at various dates over a three-year period from the date of the acquisition. 213,719 shares have vested as of September 30,2024 with an additional 213,719 vesting in October 2024. The restricted stock expense associated with the Hero Acquisition for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $17.2 and $21.9, respectively, and is included in the Non-cash compensation expense caption in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
Performance Stock Units
In the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, the Company granted PSUs to members of the Executive Leadership Team including the CEO, with an aggregate award equal to 19,960 and 19,650 PSUs, respectively. The PSUs were valued at a weighted average grant date fair value per PSU equal to $122.24 in 2024 and $110.95 in 2023 using a Monte Carlo model. The performance target is based on the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to a Company-selected peer group. The PSUs vest on the later of (i) the third anniversary of the grant date, and (ii) the date that the Board's Compensation & Human Capital Committee certifies the achievement of the applicable performance goals, in each case, subject to the recipient’s continued employment with the Company from the grant date through the vesting date. The number of shares that may be issued ranges from 0% to 200% based on relative TSR during the three-year performance period.

Share Repur****chases
On October 28, 2021, the Board authorized the Company's share repurchase program, under which the Company may repurchase up to $1,000.0 in shares of Common Stock (the “2021 Share Repurchase Program”). The 2021 Share Repurchase Program does not have an expiration and replaced the 2017 Share Repurchase Program. The 2021 Share Repurchase Program did not modify the Company’s evergreen share repurchase program, authorized by the Board on January 29, 2014, under which the Company may repurchase, from time to time, Common Stock to reduce or eliminate dilution associated with issuances of Common Stock under its incentive plans.
As of September 30, 2024, there remains $658.9 of share repurchase availability under the 2021 Share Repurchase Program.

Acquisition****s
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, net of cash acquired, at closing. The Company acquired the remaining minority shares for approximately $2.0 in July 2024. Graphico’s annual net sales for the year ended December 31, 2023 were approximately $38.0. The Graphico Acquisition was financed with cash on hand, is expected to contribute to greater expansion of our business in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, and is managed in the Consumer International segment.
The preliminary fair values of the net assets at acquisition are set forth as follows:
| Accounts receivable | $ | 3.5 | |
| Inventory | 11.3 | ||
| Other current assets | 1.5 | ||
| Other long-term assets | 5.8 | ||

| Cash purchase price (net of cash acquired) | $ | 19.9 |
The customer relationship intangible asset was valued using a discounted cash flow model and has a useful life of 15 years. The goodwill is a result of expected synergies from combined operations of the acquired business and the Company. Pro forma results are not presented because the impact of the acquisition is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial results. The goodwill and other intangible assets associated with the Graphico Acquisition are not deductible for U.S. tax purposes.
On October 13, 2022, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Hero Cosmetics, Inc. ("Hero"), the developer of the HERO® brand which includes the MIGHTY PATCH® acne treatment products (the “Hero Acquisition”). The Company paid $546.8, net of cash acquired, at closing, and deferred an additional cash payment of $8.0 for five years to satisfy certain indemnification obligations, if necessary. The Company also issued $61.5 of restricted stock which will be recognized as compensation expense as the vesting requirements for individuals who received the restricted stock, and will continue to be employed by the Company, are satisfied at various dates over a three-year period from the date of the acquisition. 213,719 shares have vested as of September 30,2024 with an additional 213,719 vesting in October 2024. Hero’s annual net sales for the year ended December 31, 2022 were approximately $179.0. The Hero Acquisition was financed with cash on hand and commercial paper borrowings and is managed in the Consumer Domestic segment. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company made a net cash payment of $3.5 primarily associated with final working capital adjustments.
The fair values of the net assets at acquisition are set forth as follows:
| Accounts receivable | $ | 19.5 | |
| Inventory | 25.4 | ||
| Other current assets | 1.2 | ||
| Property, plant and equipment | 0.4 | ||

Goodwill and Other Intangibles, Net
The Company has intangible assets of substantial value on its condensed consolidated balance sheet. These intangible assets are generally related to intangible assets with a definite life, indefinite-lived trade names and goodwill. The Company determines whether an intangible asset (other than goodwill) has a definite life based on multiple factors, including how long the Company intends to generate cash flows from the asset. These intangible assets are more fully explained in the following sections.

(1) Intangible asset impairment of VMS customer relationships. See Indefinite-Lived Trade Names disclosure for more information.
Intangible amortization expense was $30.7 and $31.1 for the third quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively. Intangible amortization expense amounted to $92.2 and $93.3 for the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company estimates that intangible amortization expense will be approximately $117.0 in 2024 and approximately $116.0 declining to $88.0 annually over the next five years.
Indefinite-Lived Trade Names
The following table presents the carrying value of indefinite-lived trade names:
| September 30, | December 31, | ||||||
| 2024 | 2023 | ||||||
| Gross Carrying Value Trade Names | $ | 1,961.7 | $ | 1,961.9 | |||
| VMS impairment | 281.3 | 0.0 | |||||
| Net Carrying Value Trade Names | $ | 1,680.4 | $ | 1,961.9 |
The Company’s indefinite-lived trade name impairment review is completed in the fourth quarter of each year.
Fair value of indefinite-lived trade names was estimated based on a “relief from royalty” or “excess earnings” discounted cash flow method, which contains numerous variables that are subject to change as business conditions change, and therefore could impact fair values in the future. The key assumptions used in determining fair value are sales growth, profitability margins, tax rates, discount rates and royalty rates. The Company determined that the fair value of all indefinite-lived trade names for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2023 exceeded their respective carrying values based upon the forecasted cash flows and profitability.
During the third quarter of 2024, the Company continued to experience a decline in market share and a deterioration in the financial performance of its Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements ("VMS") business, which includes the VITAFUSION and L'IL CRITTERS tradename, primarily due to significant product competition coming from new category entrants, including private label. The continued decline in profitability has 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 resulting in a triggering event in the third quarter. The triggering event requires the Company to review the carrying value of assets supporting the business. The assets supporting the VMS business include the VITAFUSION and L'IL CRITTERS indefinite-lived trade name, a definite-lived customer relationship intangible asset and PP&E specific to the VMS business.
The Company used an excess earnings discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of the trade name. The assumptions used in the model require significant judgement in determining the expected future cash flows. The key assumptions utilized in the Company's impairment analysis included, but were not limited, net sales growth rates between -15.2% and 2.1%, EBITA margins in the low single digits, and a discount rate of 8.25%. Estimates are based on market conditions and management’s current expectation of the success of growth and profitability initiatives. The valuation resulted in a full impairment of the $281.3 tradename. The remaining carry value of the tradename at September 30, 2024 is $0.0.
The Company also evaluated its ability to recover the carrying value of long-lived assets supporting the VMS business by comparing the carrying amount of those assets to the future undiscounted cash flows over the estimated life of the identified primary asset. The result of this evaluation was that the cash flows would not be sufficient to recover the carrying value of the assets requiring the Company to compare the carrying value of those assets to their fair value. The Company used an excess earnings discounted cash flow model to determine the estimated fair value of the long-lived assets. The key assumptions utilized in the Company's impairment analysis included, but were not limited, net sales growth rates between -15.2% and 2.1%, EBITA margins in the low single digits, and a discount rate of 8.25%. The valuation resulted in a fair value of the long-lived assets that is below their carry value requiring a pre-tax impairment charge of $75.8. The impairment charge was allocated $60.0 to the PP&E of the VMS business and $15.8 to the remaining customer relationship intangible asset. The remaining carrying values of the PP&E and the customer relationship intangible asset specific to the VMS business at September 30, 2024 are $140.0 and $0.0, respectively.
A summary of the VMS intangible and fixed asset impairment charges are as follows:
| September 30, | |||
| 2024 | |||
| Trade Name | $ | 281.3 | |
| Customer Relationship Intangible Asset | 15.8 | ||
| PP&E | 60.0 | ||
| Total VMS impairment charges | $ | 357.1 |
The Company’s 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 from inflation and a growing number of water flosser consumers switching to more value-branded products. As a result, the WATERPIK business has experienced declining sales and profits resulting in a reduction in expected future cash flows which have eroded a substantial portion of the excess between the fair and carrying value of the trade name. 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. The carrying value of the WATERPIK trade name was $644.7 and fair value represented 109% of the carrying value as of October 1, 2023 (the date of the Company's last annual impairment test). The key assumptions used in the projections from the Company’s October 1, 2023 impairment analysis include a discount rate of 8.8%, revenue growth rates between 0% and 4.5% and EBITA margins between 19% and 26%. These assumptions were based on current market conditions as of the date of the impairment analysis, recent trends and management’s expectation of the success of initiatives to lower costs and to develop lower-cost water flosser alternatives as well as improvement in the supply chain. While management 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 value. Due to the results of the Company's annual impairment test of the WATERPIK trade name, the Company monitors the performance of this business on at least a quarterly basis. Based on that review, the Company's expectations regarding the profitability of the global WATERPIK business has not substantially changed since the Company's last impairment test.
Goodwill
The carrying amount of goodwill is as follows:
| Consumer | Consumer | Specialty | |||||||||||||
| Domestic | International | Products | Total | ||||||||||||
| Balance at December 31, 2023 | $ | 2,061.1 | $ | 234.4 | $ | 136.0 | $ | 2,431.5 | |||||||

| Balance at September 30, 2024 | $ | 2,061.1 | $ | 237.2 | $ | 135.0 | $ | 2,433.3 |
The result of the Company’s annual goodwill impairment test, performed in the second quarter of each year, determined that the estimated fair value substantially exceeded the carrying values of all reporting units. The determination of fair value contains numerous variables that are subject to change as business conditions change and therefore could impact fair value in the future.
12.
Leases
The Company leases certain manufacturing facilities, warehouses, office space, railcars and equipment. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. All recorded leases are classified as operating leases and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases beginning in 2019, lease components (base rental costs) are accounted for separately from the nonlease components (e.g., common-area maintenance costs). For leases that do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its estimated secured incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

In 2015, the Company initiated a Supply Chain Finance program (“SCF Program”). Under the SCF Program, qualifying suppliers may elect to sell their receivables from the Company for early payment. Participating suppliers negotiate their receivables sales arrangements directly with a third party. The Company is not party to those agreements and do not have an economic interest in the suppliers' decisions to sell their receivables and has not been required to pledge any assets as security nor to provide any guarantee to third-party finance providers or intermediaries. The SCF Program may allow suppliers to obtain more favorable terms than they could secure on their own. The terms of the Company's payment obligations are not impacted by a supplier’s participation in the SCF Program. The Company's payment terms with suppliers are consistent between suppliers that elect to participate in the SCF Program and those that do not participate. As a result, the program does not have an impact to the Company's average days of payables outstanding.
As of September 30, 2024, the obligations outstanding related to the SCF program amount to $86.5, recorded within Accounts Payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and $292.3 payments included in operating activities within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

c. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had various guarantees and letters of credit totaling $6.0.
d. In connection with the December 1, 2020 acquisition of the ZICAM® brand (the "Zicam Acquisition"), the Company deferred an additional cash payment of $20.0 related to certain indemnifications provided by the seller. The additional amount, to the extent not used in satisfaction of such indemnity obligations, is payable five years from the closing.
In connection with the December 24, 2021 TheraBreath Acquisition, the Company deferred an additional cash payment of $14.0 related to certain indemnity obligations provided by the seller. The additional amount, to the extent not used or withheld in satisfaction of such indemnity obligations, is payable in installments between two and four years from the closing, with the first installment payment of $2.0 paid in January 2024, an additional $7.0 to be paid in December 2024 and the remaining $5.0 to be paid in December 2025.

Legal proceedings
e. In addition in conjunction with the Company’s acquisition and divestiture activities, the Company entered into select guarantees and indemnifications of performance with respect to the fulfillment of the Company’s commitments under applicable purchase and sale agreements. The arrangements generally indemnify the buyer or seller for damages associated with breach of contract, inaccuracies in representations and warranties surviving the closing date and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments retained under the applicable contract. Representations and warranties that survive the closing date generally survive for periods up to five years or the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations. Potential losses under the indemnifications are generally limited to a portion of the original transaction price, or to other lesser specific dollar amounts for select provisions. With respect to sale transactions, the Company also routinely enters into non-competition agreements for varying periods of time. Guarantees and indemnifications with respect to acquisition and divestiture activities, if triggered, could have a materially adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
f. In addition to the matters described above, from time to time in the ordinary course of its business the Company is the subject of, or party to, various pending or threatened legal, regulatory or governmental actions or other proceedings, including, without limitation, those relating to, intellectual property, commercial transactions, product liability, purported consumer class actions, employment matters, antitrust, environmental, health, safety and other compliance related matters. Such proceedings are generally subject to considerable uncertainty and their outcomes, and any related damages, may not be reasonably predictable or estimable. Any such proceedings could result in a material adverse outcome negatively impacting the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
