Exhibit 99.1

Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. Reports Fiscal ’08 and Fourth Quarter Results;
Quarterly Revenue Up 3%, Net Income Up 24%


Irvington, NY, May 15, 2008—Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. (NYSE-PBH) today announced results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.

Fourth Quarter, Fiscal Year 2008
The Company reported revenues of $80.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, a 3% increase over the comparable quarter of the prior fiscal year when the Company reported revenues of $78.0 million. The quarter’s revenue increase was driven by sales increases in the Company’s over-the-counter healthcare and household products segments.

Operating income of $24.8 million for the fourth fiscal quarter was 10% above the prior year comparable quarter’s $22.6 million. The improvement in operating income was primarily due to an increase in gross profit resulting from higher revenues, a reduction in obsolescence costs, and a slight reduction in general and administrative expenses.

Net income for the fourth fiscal quarter was $10.4 million, a $2.0 million (24%) increase over the prior year comparable quarter’s reported net income of $8.4 million. This translates to $0.21 per diluted share, compared to $0.17 per diluted share in the comparable quarter last year.

Results by Segment for the Fourth Fiscal Quarter Ended March 31, 2008

Over-the-Counter Healthcare Products

The over-the-counter healthcare segment’s fourth quarter revenues of $46.2 million were $2.9 million, 7% greater than revenues in the prior year comparable quarter. The increase
 

was due to the growth of several businesses in this segment, most notably Murine™ Earigate®, which has led the overall Murine brand to the #1 position in the OTC ear care category, according to independent audit surveys. Clear Eyes® eye care products enjoyed double digit growth, as a result of the introduction of Clear Eyes Maximum Redness and several new 1-ounce sizes of Clear Eyes most popular products. Chloraseptic® sore throat treatments also contributed to fourth quarter results due to increased demand as the cold/flu season modestly rebounded in February and March.

Household Cleaning Products
The household cleaning products segment reported net revenues of $29.7 million, 2% greater than the comparable period’s results of $29.0 million. The segment’s newest product, Comet® SprayGel Mildew Stain Remover, contributed to this growth as a result of higher levels of distribution over the prior year comparable quarter. These gains were partially offset by decreases in the Spic and Span® and Chore Boy® lines.

Personal Care Products
Revenues for the personal care products segment were $4.5 million or $1.3 million less than the prior year comparable quarter, in line with expectations. This is the smallest segment of our business, accounting for approximately 7% of total revenues.

Fiscal Year 2008

The Company reported total revenues of $326.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, 3% greater than fiscal 2007 revenues of $318.6 million.

Operating income of $91.4 million for fiscal 2008 was $3.3 million or 4% less than operating income of $94.7 million in fiscal 2007.

The Company’s reported net income of $33.9 million was $2.2 million or 6% below fiscal 2007 reported net income of $36.1 million. This translates to $0.68 per diluted share compared to $0.72 per diluted share in fiscal 2007.  Net income for fiscal 2007
 

included a favorable non-cash income tax adjustment of $2.2 million. Excluding that favorable 2007 tax benefit, net income was unchanged from fiscal 2007 to fiscal 2008.

Free Cash Flow & 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 and acquisitions. The Company defines “free cash flow” as operating cash flow less capital expenditures.

The Company’s free cash flow for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $9.6 million, composed of operating cash flow of $9.7 million less capital expenditures of $0.1 million, a 42% decrease over free cash flow of $16.5 million, composed of operating cash flow of $16.6 million less capital expenditures of $0.1 million generated in the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in free cash flow for the quarter is primarily related to an increase in accounts receivable.  For fiscal year 2008, free cash flow totaled $44.5 million, composed of operating cash flow of $45.0 million less capital expenditures of $0.5 million.

Our strong free cash flow enabled the Company to pay down $15 million of its term loan during the fourth quarter. For fiscal 2008, the Company reduced its debt by $52.1 million, bringing total debt outstanding to $411.2 million at March 31, 2008.

According to Mark Pettie, Chairman and CEO, “We are generally pleased with the results of the quarter and the fiscal year, and believe we are on the road to sustainable organic growth. Importantly, during fiscal 2008, we identified the strategic changes necessary to deliver this growth and are well down the road to implementing them as we head into fiscal 2009. The key elements of disciplined portfolio management, breakthrough innovation, international growth, and improved organizational effectiveness set the stage for what we anticipate will be improved organic growth performance in the new fiscal year and beyond.”
