Fiscal Year 2024 Highlights
Fiscal year 2024 net sales of $4.37 billion decreased 6.1% versus the prior year period, including an unfavorable impact of 1.6% from divested businesses and exited product lines, and currency translation. Organic net sales decreased 4.5%, as growth from new products and e-commerce, in addition to strategic pricing actions, were more than offset by the impacts from 1) actions to augment and strengthen the infant formula network, 2) lower cough and cold and allergy seasonal demand compared to the prior year, and 3) SKU prioritization actions to enhance margins and previously disclosed lost distribution in U.S. Store Brand during the second half of 2024.
CSCI net sales of $1.68 billion declined 0.8% compared to the prior year. Organic net sales grew 2.9%, driven by share gains in key brands within the Skin Care category, including Compeed and ACO , and the Women's Health category, led by ellaOne .
CSCA net sales of $2.69 billion decreased 9.1% compared to the prior year.

Fiscal year 2024 reported operating income was $113 million compared to $152 million in the prior year, a decline of 26%. Adjusted operating income of $609 million increased 6.0% compared to the prior year period as Project Energize and Supply Chain Reinvention benefits more than offset unfavorable impacts from actions to augment and strengthen infant formula and divested businesses and exited product lines.
Fiscal year 2024 reported loss per share was $(1.17), as compared to a loss per share of $(0.03) in the prior year. The reported loss per share in the current year was driven primarily by income tax expense in the current year versus a tax benefit in the prior year, increased operating expenses associated with unusual litigation in the current year and a loss on debt extinguishment compared to a gain in the prior year.
Fiscal year 2024 adjusted diluted EPS was $2.57, compared to $2.58 in the prior year. Fiscal year 2024 adjusted diluted EPS included unfavorable year-over-year impacts of $0.26 from infant formula and $0.03 from currency translation. The prior year included favorable
tax benefits of $0.18 per diluted share. Adjusted EPS in the full year was impacted by $0.01 due to an increase of adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding of 1.3 million from 136.7 million to 138.3 million.

Organic net sales growth was primarily due to net pricing benefits of +0.9 percentage points and volume mix of -0.2 percentage points. Volume mix included an unfavorable impact of 1.7 percentage points from previously disclosed lost distribution of lower margin products in U.S. Store Brand and lower net sales in the Pain and Sleep-Aids and Upper Respiratory categories stemming from a later start to the U.S. cough cold season compared to the prior year. Category growth was led by 1) Nutrition, stemming from infant formula net sales growth of 17%, 2) Skin Care, led by ACO , Mederma and Compeed , and 3) the Women's Health category, led by ellaOne and Opill .
Reported gross profit of $386 million, decreased $41 million, or 9.7%.

Reported operating income was $114 million as compared to a loss of $(16) million in the prior year period. Adjusted operating income increased $27 million, or 16.0%, to $194 million driven by Project Energize savings and lower variable expenses.

Reported operating margin was 10.0%, an increase of 1,130 basis points versus the prior year quarter. Adjusted operating margin of 17.0%, increased 260 basis points versus the prior year quarter due primarily to the same factors as adjusted operating income and included an unfavorable impact of 120 basis points from divested businesses and exited product lines.

(3) All tables and data may not add due to rounding. Percentages are based on actuals.
CSCI net sales of $394 million declined 4.5%, or $19 million, as organic net sales growth of 1.8% was more than offset by unfavorable impacts from divested businesses and exited product lines of 5.9%, and currency translation of 0.3%.
Organic net sales growth was driven by a relatively stronger sell-in of cough and cold products ahead of the season and improved supply of key products, both of which benefited the Upper Respiratory and Pain Sleep-Aids categories. This growth was partially offset by lower net sales in the Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements (VMS) category stemming from lower consumer demand compared to the prior year.
Reported gross profit of $169 million decreased $9 million, or 5.0%. Adjusted gross profit of $194 million declined $12 million, or 5.8%, as strategic pricing actions and Supply Chain Reinvention benefits were more than offset by cost of goods sold inflation and the impact of $17 million from divested businesses and exited product lines.
Reported gross margin of 43.0% decreased 20 basis points compared to the prior year. Adjusted gross margin declined 70 basis points to 49.3% driven by the same factors as adjusted gross profit, partially offset by favorable brand mix. Divested businesses and exited product lines had an unfavorable impact of 120 basis points.
Reported operating income was $40 million. Adjusted operating income increased $18 million, or 28.1%, to $83 million due primarily to benefits from Project Energize and lower variable expenses, partially offset by divested businesses and exited product lines of $10 million.
Reported operating margin was 10.1%, a 2,920 basis points increase versus the prior year. Adjusted operating margin expanded 540 basis points to 21.2%, as operating leverage more than offset an unfavorable impact from divested businesses and exited product lines of 110 basis points.

(3) All tables and data may not add due to rounding. Percentages are based on actuals.
Net sales of $4.37 billion decreased 6.1%, or $282 million, due primarily to a decline in organic net sales of 4.5%, and unfavorable impacts from divested businesses and exited product lines of 1.3% and currency translation of 0.2%.
The 4.5% decline in organic net sales was due primarily to 1) 2.4% from lower net sales in the Nutrition category stemming from actions to augment and strengthen the infant formula network, and 2) 3.8% lower volumes, previously disclosed lost distribution of lower margin products, and a later start to the cough and cold season (all primarily impacting the Pain Sleep Aids, Upper Respiratory, Digestive Health, and Oral Care categories) compared to the prior year.

Reported operating margin was 2.6%, a decrease of 70 basis points versus the prior year. Adjusted operating margin of 13.9%, expanded 160 basis points versus the prior year due primarily to the same factors as adjusted operating income, including an unfavorable impact from divested businesses and exited product lines of 110 basis points.
