PRESTIGE BRANDS HOLDINGS, INC. REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL ’09 RESULTS

Ø  
Fourth quarter revenues were $70.9 million, 11.9% less than the prior year comparable quarter revenues of $80.4 million; fiscal year 2009 revenues were $312.7 million, 4.3% below the comparable period’s revenues of $326.6 million.
Ø  
Fourth quarter reported net loss includes an after-tax non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $220.1 million.
Ø  
Excluding effects of the non-cash goodwill impairment charge, fourth quarter net income would have been $9.0 million, or $0.18 per diluted share.
Ø  
Free cash flow for the quarter was $13.2 million, an increase of 37.5% over the same period last year; free cash flow for fiscal year 2009 increased 48.8% over prior year to $66.2 million.
Ø  
Excluding the effects of the non-cash impairment charge, fiscal year 2009 net income would have been $33.3 million, or $0.67 per diluted share.

Irvington, NY, May 14, 2009—Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. (NYSE-PBH) today reported fourth quarter fiscal year 2009 revenues of $70.9 million, 11.9% below the same period a year ago reflecting the challenging macroeconomic environment and continuing inventory reductions by retailers. Revenues declined for all three reporting segments in the quarter.

The Company reported a net loss for fourth quarter fiscal year 2009 of $211.1 million or $4.22 per diluted share.  This includes the effects of a non-cash, pre-tax impairment charge of $249.6 million to reduce the book value of the Company’s goodwill and other intangible assets to their estimated fair value.  Excluding the effects of the impairment charge, net income for the quarter would have been $9.0 million, a decrease of $1.4 million or 13.5% from last year’s reported net income of $10.4 million, or $0.18 per share.

The reduction in net income, exclusive of the impairment charge, was primarily due to the sales decline, partially offset by decreases in advertising and promotion, general and administrative (G&A) and interest expenses.  The reduction in advertising and promotion expenses resulted from declines in non-working media compared to the prior year quarter.  The G&A reduction was primarily due to a reduction in bonus expense for the current year as the Company’s operating performance for fiscal year 2009 resulted in no annual incentive payout.  Interest expense was significantly below the prior year due to a combination of the lower debt outstanding and lower interest rates compared to fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008.


Commenting on the results, Mark Pettie, Chairman and CEO, said, “We faced a challenging quarter and second half of fiscal 2009 as a result of the macroeconomic headwinds and associated pull-backs in consumer spending and retailer inventory reductions affecting each segment of our business. Despite these circumstances, during the quarter we were able to use our strong cash flow to complete the planned improvement in our liquidity position and resume our debt pay down.”

Mr. Pettie added, “Given the current external operating environment, we remain cautious in our outlook for fiscal year 2010, and we project revenue performance below our long term goal of 2-4%.  However, we believe we are in a good position to weather the economic challenges faced by our industry, and plan to continue investing in our focus brands going forward.”

Results by Segment for Fourth Fiscal Quarter
Over-the-Counter Healthcare Products (OTC)
Net revenues for the OTC segment of $39.8 million were $6.4 million or 13.9% below the prior year comparable period.  The sales declines resulted from shortfalls on Chloraseptic®, Compound W®, Wartner®, Murine® ear, Dermoplast® and The Doctor’s® brands.  Partially offsetting these declines were increases in sales of Little Remedies® and New Skin® as well as sales of the new Chloraseptic® and Little Allergies® Allergen Block products.

Household Products
The household cleaning products segment reported net revenues of $26.7 million, $3.0 million, or 10.1% less than the prior year comparable period.  Revenues for the Spic and Span® brand were even with the prior year period, while Comet® and Chore Boy® experienced sales declines.

Personal Care Products
Net revenues of $4.3 million for the Personal Care products segment were $200 thousand less than the prior year comparable period.  A sales increase for Cutex® was offset by declines on the Denorex® and Prell® shampoo brands.

Fiscal Year 2009

The Company reported total revenues of $312.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, 4.3% less than fiscal 2008 total revenues of $326.6 million.  The reported net loss for fiscal 2009 of $186.8 million (($3.74) per diluted share) compared to net income of $33.9 million ($0.68 per diluted share) for

fiscal year 2008.  Excluding the effects of the impairment charge, the Company’s 2009 net income would have been $33.3 million, which was $0.6 million or 1.8% below fiscal 2008 results.  Excluding the effects of the impairment charge, fully diluted earnings per share would have been $0.67 for 2009 compared to $0.68 in fiscal 2008.

Free Cash Flow and  Debt Repayment

Free cash flow is a “non GAAP financial measure”. Free cash flow is presented here because management believes this is a commonly used measure of liquidity, indicative of cash available for debt repayment.  The Company defines “free cash flow” as operating cash flow minus capital expenditures.

The Company’s free cash flow for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $13.2 million, $3.6 million or 37.5% greater than free cash flow of $9.6 million generated in the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2008.  This is composed of operating cash flow of $13.3 million less capital expenditures of $0.1 million.  The improvement in free cash flow resulted from an improvement in working capital.  For fiscal year 2009, free cash flow totaled $66.2 million, composed of operating cash flow of $66.7 million minus capital expenditures of $0.5 million.  This compared to free cash flow for 2008 of $44.5 million, composed of operating cash flow of $45.0 million less capital expenditures of $0.5 million.

During the fourth fiscal quarter, the Company reached its previously stated goal of enhancing its liquidity position by using its free cash flow to accumulate a reserve of approximately $30 million.  After reaching this goal, the Company resumed debt repayment.  At March 31, 2009, the Company had cash on hand of $35.2 million.  At March 31, 2009, total indebtedness was reduced to $378.3 million, reflecting $6.0 million of repayments during the quarter.
