PRESTIGE BRANDS HOLDINGS, INC. REPORTS THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2007 RESULTS

Net Income of $10.6 Million Up 14% on Total Revenues of $80.l Million

Irvington, NY, February 5, 2007—Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. (NYSE-PBH), a consumer products company with a diversified portfolio of well-recognized brands, today announced results for the third fiscal quarter and nine month period ended December 31, 2006. Highlights of the quarter include:
·  
Net income of $10.6 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, up 14% over the prior year comparable period
·  
Total revenues of $80.1 million, slightly higher than the prior year comparable period
·  
Free cash flow of $12.4 million was 12% higher than the prior year comparable period
·  
Term loan debt reduced by $18.5 million in the third fiscal quarter

Total revenues for the third quarter ended December 31, 2006 were $80.1 million, slightly higher than total revenues of $79.9 million in the prior year comparable period. Excluding the impact of the acquisitions of Chore Boy®, Dental Concepts and Wartner®, organic revenue declined by 6%. Chore Boy and Dental Concepts were acquired in October and November 2005, respectively; the Wartner® brand was acquired in September, 2006.

Operating income for the third quarter ended December 31, 2006 was $24.5 million, or 1% below the operating income of $24.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The decline in operating income period to period resulted primarily from increases in advertising and promotion spending behind key brands.

Net income for the quarter grew 14% to $10.6 million or $0.21 per diluted share over net income of $9.3 million or $0.19 per diluted share for the comparable prior year period. Net income includes a $1.7 million tax benefit resulting from a reduction in the deferred income tax rate from 39.1% to 38.6% as a result of the implementation of certain tax planning strategies.



  Q3 Results by Segment
 
The Company conducts operations through three principal business segments: Over-the-Counter Drug (OTC), Household Products, and Personal Care products.

OTC Drug

Revenues of the over-the-counter drug products segment for the third quarter ended December 31, 2006 were $45.6 million, 8% higher than the prior year comparable period net revenues of $42.1 million. Increases in this segment resulted from sales gains in several key brands including The Doctor’s®, Clear eyes®, Little Remedies®, Dermoplast® and New Skin®. These gains were partially offset by sales declines in the Chloraseptic® and Compound W® brands.

Household Products

Revenues for the household products segment for the third quarter ended December 31, 2006 were $28.7 million, 7% less than the prior year comparable period net revenues of $30.8 million. Comet® and Spic and Span®, the two core brands in this segment, each recorded declines, while Chore Boy® experienced increased sales.

The Comet and Spic and Span declines were primarily the result of comparisons against unusually strong year ago shipments, which included pipeline shipments supporting new distribution and significant promotional sales to one dollar store customer. However, both brands continued to post strong consumer consumption gains during the current quarter.

Personal Care

Revenues for the personal care segment for the third quarter ended December 31, 2006 were $5.8 million, 17% less than the prior year comparable period net revenues of $7.0 million. The decline in revenues was generally in line with the Company’s expectations.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is a “non GAAP financial measure” as that term is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Regulation G. Free cash flow is presented in this news release because
 

 management believes that it is a commonly used measure of liquidity, and is indicative 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 quarter ended December 31, 2006 was $12.4 million, composed of operating cash flows of $12.5 million, less capital expenditures of $0.1 million. Free cash flow for the nine month period ended December 31, 2006 was $54.9 million, composed of operating cash flows of $55.3 million, less capital expenditures of $0.4 million. The Company’s free cash flow in 2006 is higher than reported net income as a result of the amortization of intangibles, changes in the components of working capital and the relatively low capital expenditures.

During the third fiscal quarter, the Company used free cash flow to reduce its term loan debt by $18.5 million, bringing debt reduction during the nine month period ended December 31, 2006 to a total of $27.4 million. The Company’s debt has been reduced to $471.2 million at December 31, 2006, from $498.6 million at March 31, 2006.
 

Year-To-Date Results

For the nine month period ended December 31, 2006, total revenues of $240.6 million were 11% higher than the prior period results of $216.7 million. Excluding the effects of acquisitions, year-to-date organic sales were up 3%. For the same period, operating income was up 13% largely as a result of the increase in sales, and lower advertising and promotion spending, partially offset by the increase in general and administrative expenses. Net income for the nine month period ended December 31, 2006 was $27.7 million, an increase of 22% over the comparable period last year.

Outlook

The Company expects its full year organic revenue growth will be in line with its previously stated long-term growth range of 3-4%. Total revenues will increase at a greater rate due to acquisitions. Net income is expected to grow less rapidly than total revenue growth.
