Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. Anticipates Fourth Quarter Revenues below Prior Year, Full Year FY'07 Revenues Up

Q4 and FY'07 Earnings Announcement & Conference Call Scheduled for May 9, 2007

IRVINGTON, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 9, 2007--Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. (NYSE-PBH) announced today that revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, ending on March 30, 2007, are expected to be lower than the prior year comparable quarter, but higher for the full fiscal year compared to the prior fiscal year on both a total and organic basis.

The decrease in revenues for the fourth fiscal quarter is largely attributable to the previously announced weaker than expected cough/cold season which resulted in lower sales in one of its key categories, as well as continued declining revenues in the Company's Personal Care segment.

Mark Pettie, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer said, "Despite the fourth quarter sales performance, full year net revenue growth should be in the mid single digit range, with organic growth up approximately 1%. Based upon our increased focus on driving distribution, innovation and optimized marketing across key segments of our portfolio, at this point we continue to be comfortable with our previously stated long term average organic revenue growth projections of 3-4%."

The Company expects to release its fourth quarter and year end results on May 9, 2007, before the opening of the market, and host a conference call and web cast to review the results at 10AM EDT that same morning. Details will be announced at the end of April.
