Exhibit 99.1
Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2008 Results

Irvington, NY, August 7, 2007—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 2008 which ended on June 30, 2007.

Total revenues for the first fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2007 were $78.6 million, 4% higher than total revenues of $75.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. First quarter revenues benefited from sales of the Wartner® line of wart treatment products which was acquired in September 2006. Excluding the effects of this acquisition, revenues declined by less than 1%.

Operating income of $23.1 million was $0.2 million, or 1% less than the comparable period’s operating income of $23.3 million.  The reduction in operating income was due to increases in advertising and promotion, G&A, and amortization expenses which more than offset the $1.7 million increase in gross profit which resulted from the increase in revenues.

Net income for the first quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $8.3 million, or $0.17 fully diluted earnings per share, equal to the prior year comparable period.

Results by Segment for the First Quarter Ended June 30, 2007

Revenues of $42.4 million in the over-the-counter health care products segment were 7% higher than the prior year comparable period’s revenues of $39.6 million. Excluding the impact of the Wartner acquisition, organic sales for this segment declined by 1%. Compound W® wart treatment products and Little Remedies® pediatric products each posted an increase over the prior year first fiscal quarter while Chloraseptic® and Clear Eyes® posted declines. In addition, after three quarters of strong growth, The Doctor’s® line of oral care products was negatively affected by competitive pressure from both branded and private label items resulting in a revenue decline for this brand compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

Revenues for the Household products segment were $29.9 million, or 1% below the prior year comparable period sales of $30.1 million. Single digit increases were posted by the Comet® line, the Company’s largest brand, and by Spic and Span® household cleaner. Comet™ Spray Gel Mildew Stain
 

Remover, the segment’s newest product, continued to gain distribution following its introduction at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. These increases were offset by a decline in the Chore Boy® household scrubber line.

Revenues for the Personal Care products segment increased 1%. Each of the three major brands in this segment, Cutex® nail polish remover, Prell® shampoo and Denorex® dandruff shampoo experienced sales increases over the prior year comparable quarter. At $6.3 million, this segment accounted for approximately 8% of first quarter revenues.

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 an indication of cash available for debt repayment and acquisition. 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, 2007 was $8.3 million, composed of operating cash flows of $8.4 million, less capital expenditures of $0.1 million.  During the quarter, the Company repaid approximately $15.9 million of senior bank debt, bringing total debt to $447.5 million at June 30, 2007.

Commentary

We are pleased with the overall sales improvement this period. Although underlying organic sales were down slightly, the trend improved from the back half of last year. We believe this indicates that we are taking the appropriate steps to deliver sustainable organic growth” said Mark Pettie, Chairman and CEO of Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. “Our efforts toward this goal, which we discussed on our Quarter 4 FY 2007 earnings call, are beginning to gain traction, particularly in the areas of innovation, strengthened distribution, systematic cost reduction and international growth,” Mr. Pettie said.
