Exhibit 99.1
 
Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2010 Results
Net Income Up 7%; Free Cash Flow Up 18%
 
Irvington, NY, August 5, 2009—Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. (NYSE-PBH), a consumer products company with a diversified portfolio of well-known brands, today announced results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, which ended on June 30, 2009.

Total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 were $73.2 million, a 0.4% decrease from total revenues of $73.5 million in the prior year comparable quarter.

Operating income for the quarter of $19.1 million was $2.1 million, or 10% below operating income of $21.2 million in the prior year comparable quarter. The decline from last year was primarily due to a 20% increase in advertising and promotion expenses (A&P) to support the Allergen Block and Compound W® brands in the U.S. and Canada.  G&A expenses also were higher than in the prior year quarter, primarily due to increased compensation expense.

Interest expense for the quarter of $5.7 million was $3.0 million lower than the prior year quarter due to lower debt outstanding and lower interest rates.  The Company repaid $17.0 million of debt during the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

Net income for the first quarter was $8.3 million, or $0.17 fully diluted earnings per share, 7% greater than last year’s reported net income of $7.8 million, or $0.16 fully diluted earnings per share.  The increase resulted primarily from lower interest expense, which offset the lower operating income.

Results by Segment for the First Fiscal Quarter

Over-the-Counter Healthcare Products
Net revenues of $40.3 million were $1.1 million or 3% greater than the prior year comparable quarter.  The sales increase was driven by increases in Clear Eyes®, Little Remedies®, The Doctor’s® and the two new Allergen Block products.

Household Products
 
 
 

 
Revenues of $27.4 million were $1.6 million or 5% less than the prior year comparable quarter.  Spic and Span® experienced flat revenues, while Comet® and Chore Boy® had sales declines when compared to the prior year comparable quarter.

Personal Care Products
Revenues for this segment were $5.5 million, 4% greater than the prior year comparable quarter.  A sales increase for Cutex® nail polish remover was partially offset by a decline on Denorex® shampoo.

Free Cash Flow Increases 18%; Debt Repayment of $17.0 million
Free cash flow is a “non-GAAP” measure as that term is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Regulation G. Free cash flow is presented here because management believes it is a commonly used measure of liquidity, and is an indication of cash available for debt repayment and acquisitions. The Company defines free cash flow as operating cash flow less capital expenditures.

The Company’s free cash flow for the first quarter ended June 30, 2009 was $18.0 million, composed of operating cash flow of $18.1 million, less capital expenditures of $0.1 million, a $2.5 million increase over free cash flow of $15.3 million in the prior year comparable quarter. During the quarter, the Company repaid $17.0 million of senior bank debt, bringing total debt down to $361.3 million at June 30, 2009.

Commentary
According to Mark Pettie, Chairman and CEO: “While our first quarter results were in line with our expectations, our outlook for the full year continues to be cautious in light of the prevailing macroeconomic environment.  Looking ahead, our plan is to continue making important A&P investments behind our focus brands and to utilize our strong cash flow to reduce debt and further strengthen our balance sheet.”

The Company will host a conference call to review its first fiscal quarter results on Wednesday, August 5th at 10:00 a.m. EST. The dial in number is 800-638-4930.
