NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Fiscal Period-End

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries in accordance with accounting principles for interim financial information generally accepted in the United States and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations. It is management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025.

The Company’s fiscal year ends on September 30 and the Company reports its results using fiscal quarters whereby each three month quarterly reporting period is approximately thirteen weeks in length and ends on a Sunday. The exceptions are the first quarter, which begins on October 1, and the fourth quarter, which ends on September 30. As a result, the fiscal period end date for the three and six month periods included within this Quarterly Report for the Company are March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which provides qualitative and quantitative updates to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures, among others, in order to enhance the transparency of income tax disclosures, including consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and disaggregation by jurisdiction of income taxes paid. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is also permitted. This ASU will be effective for our fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which provides updates to qualitative and quantitative disclosure requirements over the disaggregation of relevant expense captions within the income statement to provide more transparency and useful information on expenses within the income statement including tabular presentation of prescribed expense categories such as the purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and inclusion of other specific expense, gains and losses required by existing GAAP with reconciliation of disaggregation to the face of the income statement. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The amendment should be applied prospectively, however, retrospective application is also permitted. This ASU will be effective for our fiscal year ending September 30, 2028. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient in estimating credit losses for current accounts receivables and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606 that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The amendments in ASU 2025-05 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. This ASU will be effective for our fiscal year ending September 30, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which modernizes previously written guidance around internal-use software costs by eliminating accounting consideration of software project development stages and provide for cost capitalization when management has authorized and committed funding to the project and that the project is considered 'probable' of completion and the software used to perform the function as intended, along with prescriptive disclosure requirements associated with internal-use software costs to be consistent with Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment regardless of how those costs are presented in the financial statements. The amendments in ASU 2025-06 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendment may be applied either retrospectively or prospectively or on a modified prospective basis prescribed by the ASU. This ASU will be effective for our fiscal year ending September 30, 2029. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Hedge Accounting Improvements, which aligns financial reporting with the economics of some of an entity’s risk management activities by updating similar risk assessment for cash flow hedges, hedging interest payments on choose-your-rate debt, cash flow hedges of nonfinancial forecasted transactions, net written options as hedging instruments, and foreign currency-denominated debt designated as a hedging instrument and a hedged item. The amendments in ASU 2025-09 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods and applied on a prospective basis. This ASU will be effective for our fiscal year ending September 30, 2028. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 8 - DERIVATIVES

Derivative financial instruments are principally used in the management of foreign currency risk. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

Cash Flow Hedges. The Company periodically enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the cash flow risk from the forecasted purchase and sale of inventory denominated in foreign currencies, and designated as a cash flow hedge. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Colombian Pesos, Euros, Japanese Yen, Mexican Pesos, Pound Sterling, or U.S. Dollars. The fair value of effective hedges are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI") and as a derivative asset or liability, as applicable, until the purchase or sale is recognized, or otherwise determined to be ineffective or discontinued, at which point the fair value of the related hedge is reclassified to earnings.

Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedge. The Company periodically enters into forward contracts to economically hedge a portion of risk from intercompany balances denominated in foreign currencies. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Czech Koruna, Euros, Japanese Yen, Polish Zloty, Pound Sterling, or U.S. Dollars. These foreign exchange contracts are fair value hedges of related intercompany balances with the gain or loss on the derivative instruments recorded in earnings offsetting the change in value of the related intercompany balance.

The following summarizes outstanding notional balances and maturities of derivative instruments as of March 29, 2026 and September 30, 2025.

The fair value for derivative instruments excludes collateral or standby letter of credit associated with derivative instruments, of which there were none as of March 29, 2026 and September 30, 2025. The Company is not a party to derivative agreements that require collateral to be posted prior to settlement.

The following summarizes the pre-tax (loss) gain from derivative instruments and location in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six month periods ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025, respectively.


		Three Month Periods Ended				Six Month Periods Ended

Foreign exchange contracts - not designated as hedge	Other non-operating (income) expense, net	(0.3)		8.7		(0.7)		5.4

There was no gain or loss realized from cash flow hedges due to the ineffectiveness or discontinuation of the cash flow hedge because it was not considered probable that the original forecasted transaction would not occur. See Note 11 - Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income for unrealized gains and losses initially recognized as other comprehensive income and the accumulated unrealized gain (loss) associated with cash flow hedges recognized in AOCI. As of March 29, 2026, the net loss estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings associated with cash flow hedges over the next 12 months is $1.6 million, net of tax.

NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company has not changed the valuation techniques used in measuring the fair value of any financial assets and liabilities during the year. The carrying value and estimated fair value of financial instruments as of March 29, 2026 and September 30, 2025 according to the fair value hierarchy are as follows.


	March 29, 2026										September 30, 2025
(in millions)	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Fair Value		Carrying Amount
Derivative Assets	$	—	$	0.8	$	—	$	0.8	$	0.8	$	—	$	0.8	$	—	$	0.8	$	0.8
Derivative Liabilities	—		4.5		—		4.5		4.5		—		9.6		—		9.6		9.6
Debt	—		581.9		—		581.9		587.9		—		532.7		—		532.7		567.9

The fair value measurements of the Company’s debt represent non-active market exchanged traded securities which are valued at quoted input prices that are directly observable or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data (Level 2). The Company's derivative instruments are valued on a recurring basis using internal models, which are based on market observable inputs, including both forward and spot prices for currencies, which are generally based on quoted or observed market prices (Level 2). See Note 7 – Debt for additional detail on outstanding debt. See Note 8 – Derivatives for additional detail on derivative assets and liabilities.

The carrying values of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets are tested annually or more frequently if an event occurs that indicates an impairment loss may have been incurred, using fair value measurements with unobservable inputs (Level 3).

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and short term debt approximate fair value based on the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.

NOTE 12 - INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate for the three and six month periods ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025, was as follows:


	Three Month Periods Ended				Six Month Periods Ended
	March 29, 2026		March 30, 2025		March 29, 2026		March 30, 2025
Effective tax rate	38.9	%	83.9	%	9.4	%	44.8	%

The estimated annual effective tax rate applied to the three and six month period ended March 29, 2026, differs from the US federal statutory rate of 21% principally due to income earned outside the U.S. that is subject to U.S. tax, including the U.S. tax on global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”), net of applicable deductions, and certain nondeductible expenses. The Company is not projecting U.S. taxable income for Fiscal 2026, which does not allow it to take advantage of the foreign-derived intangible income deduction or foreign tax credits on its GILTI income. The Company’s federal effective tax rate on GILTI was therefore 21% During the six month period ended March 29, 2026, the Company effectively settled an uncertain tax position in the U.S. As a result, the Company recognized a non-cash reduction in income tax expense of $17.6 million during the six month period ended March 29, 2026.

NOTE 13 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is a defendant in various litigation matters generally arising out of the ordinary course of business. Based on information currently available, the Company does not believe that any additional matters or proceedings presently pending will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition, liquidity or cash flows.

Environmental Liability. The Company has realized commitments attributable to environmental remediation activities primarily associated with former manufacturing sites of the Company's HPC segment. In coordination with local and federal regulatory agencies, we have conducted testing on certain sites, which have resulted in the identification of contamination that has been attributed to historical activities at the properties, resulting in the realization of incremental costs to be assumed by the Company towards the remediation of these properties and the recognition of an environmental remediation liability. We have not conducted invasive testing at all sites and locations and have identified an environmental remediation liability to the extent such remediation requirements have been identified and are considered estimable. The following is a summary of the environmental remediation liability as of March 29, 2026 and September 30, 2025:


(in millions)	March 29, 2026		September 30, 2025
Environmental remediation liability	$	5.2	$	5.4
Reported as:
Other current liabilities	1.8		1.9
Other long-term liabilities	3.4		3.5

Product Liability. The Company may be named as a defendant in lawsuits involving product liability claims and maintains an estimated liability in the amount of management’s estimate for aggregate exposure for such liabilities based upon probable loss from loss reports, individual cases, and losses incurred but not reported. There have been no recent product issues that management believes would have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or operating results. As of March 29, 2026 and September 30, 2025, the Company recognized $2.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively, in product liability, included in Other Current Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

NOTE 14 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company is a diversified global branded consumer products company managed through three product-focused reporting segments: (i) GPC, which consists of the Company’s global pet care business; (ii) H&G, which consists of the Company’s home and garden, insect control and cleaning products business; and (iii) HPC, which consists of the Company’s global small kitchen and personal care appliances business. The Company identifies its segments as those operations whose results the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), recognized as the Company's Chief Executive Officer, regularly reviews for making operating decisions, allocating capital and resources amongst the operations, and assessing performance as the source of its reportable segments. Global strategic initiatives and financial objectives for each reportable segment are determined at the corporate level. Each segment is responsible for implementing defined strategic initiatives and achieving certain financial objectives and has a president responsible for the sales and marketing initiatives and financial results for product lines within the segment.

The CODM of the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization) as the primary operating metric in evaluating the business and making operating decisions. EBITDA is calculated by excluding the Company’s income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation expense and amortization expense (from intangible assets) from net income from continuing operations. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes certain non-cash adjustments including share based compensation, impairment charges on property, plant and equipment, operating and finance lease assets, and goodwill and other intangible assets; gain or loss from the early extinguishment of debt; and purchase accounting adjustments recognized in income subsequent to an acquisition attributable to the step-up in value on assets acquired. Additionally, the Company will further recognize adjustments from Adjusted EBITDA for other costs, gains and losses that are considered significant, non-recurring, or otherwise not supporting the continuing operations and revenue generating activity of the segment or Company, including but not limited to, exit and disposal activities or incremental costs associated with strategic transactions, restructuring and optimization initiatives such as the acquisition or divestiture of a business, related integration or separation costs, or the development and implementation of strategies to optimize or restructure the Company and its operations.

Segment net sales consists of revenue generated by contracts with external customers for the sale of products and services. The Company does not have any significant or material intrasegment revenues. See Note 3 - Revenue Recognition and Receivables for further breakdown of revenue by segment.

The segments are supported through center-led corporate shared service operations which are enabling functions to the segments consisting of finance and accounting, information technology, legal and human resources, supply chain and commercial operations. Costs attributable to such shared service operations are allocated to the segments based upon various metrics which are considered representative to the use and support provided by such enabling functions to each of the segments. From time to time, the Company may revise the measurement of overhead allocations and presentation of significant expenses, as determined by the information regularly reviewed by its CODM.

The Company has not included the results from discontinued operations within the following segment reporting when the discontinued operations were previously reported as a segment in any prior period. Indirect costs from shared enabling functions supporting discontinued operations during the fiscal periods of the Company’s ownership of the divested segment, prior to the completion of the divestiture, are excluded from the reporting of income (loss) from discontinued operations and included within the income (loss) for continuing operations as they are not direct costs of the disposal group. The indirect costs are considered unallocated shared service costs and not allocated across the remaining segments of the Company during the respective periods.

The Company also incurs costs attributable to corporate functions such as tax, treasury, internal audit, corporate finance, legal and corporate executive and board related governance costs, which are considered corporate costs of the Company and not allocated to the segments. Interest costs attributable to external borrowings, including finance leases, are not recognized or allocated to segments. Interest income is generally not recognized or allocated to segments.

NOTE 15 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to controlling interest by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using its weighted-average outstanding common shares including the dilutive effect of share-based awards, based upon the treasury stock method, and the Exchangeable Notes, as determined under the net share settlement method. Performance based restricted stock units are excluded if the performance targets upon which the issuance of the shares is contingent have not been achieved and the respective performance period has not been completed as of the end of the current period. Share based awards that would be excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations as the effect of the inclusion would have been antidilutive were considered immaterial. From the time of the issuance of the Exchangeable Notes, the average market price of the Company’s common shares has been less than the initial conversion price, and consequently no shares have been included in diluted earnings per share for the conversion value of the Exchangeable Notes.

The reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation and the anti-dilutive shares for the three and six month periods ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025, are as follows:

NOTE 16 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On May 1, 2026, the Company entered into a definitive agreement, through its indirect subsidiaries, for a strategic investment from funds affiliated with Oaktree Capital Management L.P. (“Oaktree”) in its HPC business for $127 million in cash, before transaction fees. The investment by Oaktree consists of $67 million in the form of convertible preferred equity (“HPC Preferred Equity”) and $60 million in the form of a first lien term loan on the HPC business (“HPC Term Loan”), which is recourse only to the HPC business. Dividends on the HPC Preferred Equity accrue at 8.0% per annum, compounded quarterly, and the HPC Term Loan bears interest at HPC’s option at either SOFR plus 5.50% or the base rate plus 4.50%. Neither party has any obligation to make capital contributions into the HPC business. The HPC Preferred Equity is convertible into common equity of the HPC business. Following the closing, other than serving as collateral to the HPC Term Loan, the HPC business will no longer be part of the collateral package of the Company’s indebtedness. The transaction is expected to close on or about May 11, 2026. Following the closing of the transaction upon receipt of required regulatory approvals, on a pro forma basis Oaktree will hold an approximately 27% equity stake in the HPC business, with the remainder held by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. This investment establishes a strategic partnership designed to support the long-term growth of the HPC business. This transaction represents a further step in Spectrum Brands’ previously announced commitment to separate the HPC business from its other businesses.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Introduction

The following is management’s discussion of the financial results, liquidity and other key items related to our performance and should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "Quarterly Report") and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 filed with the SEC on November 18, 2025 (the "2025 Annual Report"). The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs and involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed within "Forward-Looking Statements" included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, and in Item 1A. Risk Factors and "Forward-Looking Statements" included within our 2025 Annual Report. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms the "Company," "we," "us," or "our" are used to refer to Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries collectively.

Non-GAAP Measurements

Our consolidated and segment results contain non-GAAP metrics such as organic net sales, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin. While we believe organic net sales, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and should be read in conjunction with those GAAP results.

Organic Net Sales. We define organic net sales as net sales excluding the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and impact from acquisitions (where applicable). We believe this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors because it reflects regional and operating segment performance from our activities without the effect of changes in currency exchange rates and acquisitions. We use organic net sales as one measure to monitor and evaluate our regional and segment performance. Organic growth is calculated by comparing organic net sales to net sales in the prior year. The effect of changes in currency exchange rates is determined by translating the current period net sales using the currency exchange rates that were in effect during the prior comparative period. Net sales are attributed to the geographic regions based on the country of destination. We exclude net sales from acquired businesses in the current year for which there are no comparable sales in the prior period.

The following is a reconciliation of reported net sales to organic net sales for the three and six month period ended March 29, 2026 compared to net sales for the three and six month period ended March 30, 2025:

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP metrics used by management, which we believe are useful to investors to measure the operational strength and performance of our business. These metrics provide investors additional information about our operating profitability excluding certain non-cash items, non-routine items we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future, as well as other items not core to our continuing operations. By providing these measures, together with a reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP measure, we believe we are enhancing investors' understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives. These metrics are also useful to investors in that securities analysts and other interested parties use such calculations as a measure of financial performance and debt service capabilities, and they are regularly used by management and our board of directors for internal purposes in evaluating our business performance, making budgeting decisions, and comparing our performance against other peer companies using similar measures since interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA is also used for determining compliance with the Company’s debt covenants.

EBITDA is calculated by excluding the Company’s income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation expense and amortization expense (from intangible assets) from net income. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes certain non-cash adjustments including share based compensation expense; impairment charges on property, plant and equipment, right of use lease assets, and goodwill and other intangible assets, as applicable; gain or loss from the early extinguishment of debt through the repurchase or early redemption of debt, as applicable; and purchase accounting adjustments recognized in income subsequent to an acquisition attributable to the step-up in value on assets acquired. Additionally, the Company will further recognize adjustments from adjusted EBITDA for other costs, gains and losses that are considered significant, non-recurring, or otherwise not supporting the continuing operations and revenue generating activity of the segment or Company, including but not limited to, exit and disposal activities, or incremental costs associated with strategic transactions, restructuring and optimization initiatives such as the acquisition or divestiture of a business, related integration or separation costs, or the development and implementation of strategies to optimize or restructure the Company and its operations. Adjusted EBITDA margin is adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of reported net sales.

The following is a reconciliation of Net Income From Continuing Operations to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three and six month periods ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025, respectively.

Recent Developments

U.S. Tariffs and Global Macro-Economic Environment

The changes to U.S. trade policy including the introduction of incremental U.S. tariffs on imported goods in the prior year have had a significant impact to our operations, increasing costs for sourced products, materials and components, and thus raising cost of goods sold and pressuring profit margins. The changes to tariffs were introduced midway through our prior fiscal year, impacting our operating results primarily during the second half of the prior fiscal year. Our mitigation strategies included adjusting pricing and actively managing supply chain by engaging suppliers to support cost sharing or expanding supply chain diversification. The changing tariff policies impacted our segments to varying degrees, most significantly with HPC, as most all of its products supporting the U.S. business are imported from southeast Asia. HPC has actively pursued sourcing alternatives and has been moving production to diversify its supply chain and more effectively manage risk. Over 60% of net sales in HPC are driven through international markets and were not directly impacted by U.S. tariffs. Comparatively, our other segments were less affected. GPC has certain aquatic equipment and chews & treats products that were sourced primarily from China, but have a higher degree of sourcing diversity with major suppliers elsewhere, which has allowed it to move production more swiftly to alternative supply. GPC also manufactures aquatics nutrition products at its facility in Germany and imports them into the U.S., but such tariff-related costs have been predominantly mitigated through pricing adjustments and cost management. The H&G segment products are predominantly manufactured and sold within the U.S. with only certain material costs and a small portfolio of products, such as baits, traps and mops, that are internationally sourced and affected by U.S. tariffs, with such costs having been mitigated through pricing adjustments and vendor cost management.

We have continued our focus on operational efficiencies by optimizing production processes, reducing waste, and leveraging technology to enhance productivity, with the aim of offsetting cost increases and protecting margins. With the trade policy and tariff changes realized in the prior fiscal year, we believe our mitigation strategies have been successful in protecting our profitability and minimizing the impact in comparability of our operating performance. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the tariffs imposed in the prior year under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (" IEEPA"), reducing the impact of U.S. tariffs on imported goods prospectively. The ruling did not address refunds and, as such, there is uncertainty about who may be entitled to refunds. In March 2026, the Court of International Trade ("CIT") directed the U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") to begin refunding all tariffs imposed under IEEPA and in April 2026, the Trump Administration has developed a refund mechanism and portal but has not waived its right to appeal the CIT order to limit the scope of refunds and may dispute refunds for some claims which may affect our consideration regarding recovery recognition. We have been evaluating our approach towards potential refunds and have not yet taken steps to seek a refund of tariffs we have previously paid. Additionally, we are evaluating other implications attributable to such actions including effects on our customers and the potential risk of price concessions which may give rise to future obligations and affect future operating results. As of March 28, 2026, the consolidated financial statements do not reflect any impacts attributable to such refunds.

We continue to closely monitor the trade environment for impacts on our projections and forecasts. We have managed cash flow and secured our balance sheet to support the ongoing business through the evolving changes in U.S. trade policy and potential impacts on the global-macro economic environment. We are focused on supply chain diversification, operational efficiency, and strategic investments for sustaining growth and profitability amid trade uncertainties.

Strategic Transactions, Restructuring and Optimization Initiatives

We periodically evaluate and enter into strategic transactions that may result in the acquisition or divestiture of a business which impacts the comparability of the financial results of the consolidated group and/or certain reporting segments. Additionally, we enter into internal restructuring and optimization initiatives to improve efficiencies and utilization to reduce costs, increase revenues and improve margins, which may have a significant impact on the comparability of financial results on the condensed consolidated financial statements. These changes and updates are inherently difficult and our ability to achieve the anticipated cost savings and other benefits from such operating strategies may be affected by a number of other macro-economic factors, such as inflation and increased interest rates, which are beyond our control. Moreover, the comparability of financial information may be impacted by incremental amounts attributable to such strategic transactions, restructuring and optimization initiatives. The following is a summary of costs attributable to strategic transactions and business development costs that are considered as potentially having a significant impact on the comparability of our financial results as reflected on the consolidated financial statements and segment financial information, for each of the projects during the three and six month periods ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025, respectively:

1 Costs attributable to a multi-year transformation project to upgrade and implement our enterprise-wide operating systems to SAP S/4 HANA on a global basis, including project management and professional services for planning, design, and business process review that do not qualify as software configuration and implementation costs recognized as capital expenditures or deferred costs under applicable accounting principles. The Company has extended the project to include its HPC segment and anticipates costs to be incurred through further deployments through calendar year 2026.

2 Costs attributable to the HHI divestiture consisting of costs to facilitate separation and transition of systems and processes subject to transition service agreements ("TSAs"), which closed effective June 2025 with no further subsequent costs incurred.

3 Costs attributable to efforts to facilitate a strategic separation of the HPC segment either through a spin, merger or sale, consisting of legal and professional fees to facilitate transaction opportunities and diligence efforts. The Company continues to assess strategic opportunities for a proposed HPC separation, as well as considerations within the macroeconomic environment that may affect the timing and ability to execute on such initiative.

4 Other project costs are attributable to distribution center transitions.

Exit and Disposal Activity

We periodically recognize exit and disposal costs primarily consisting of severance and contract termination costs that may be attributable to a reorganization or restructuring of the Company, cost savings initiatives, or in consideration of a recent strategic transaction. Such actions result in the recognition of costs to us that are considered incremental and not reflective of the continuing operating costs of the business and may impact the comparability of the consolidated company and its segments' results of operations.

Gross profit for the three month period increased with a margin increase due to positive pricing adjustments to address higher comparable costs from tariffs and inflationary costs with higher trade spend, increased volumes and favorable foreign currency. Gross profit for the six month period increased with a margin decrease due to positive pricing adjustments and favorable foreign currency mitigating higher costs from higher comparable costs, with higher trade spend, unfavorable mix and lower overall volume.

Selling, General & Administrative. The following is a summary of the selling, general & administrative costs for the three and six month periods ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025, respectively, including amounts as a percentage of net sales for each respective period.

Total selling, general & administrative	$	441.3	31.8	%	$	431.3	31.3	%	10.0		2.3	%

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the three and six month periods primarily due to higher general and administrative costs. Sales, marketing and advertising costs decreased between periods and relative to net sales which was primarily attributable to cost management and timing and partially offset by an increase in distribution costs between periods for the three and six month periods. General & administrative costs increased for the three and six month periods due to higher overhead costs following the expiration of transition service agreements associated with the HHI divestiture in June 2025. Research & development costs were consistent between periods. Strategic transaction, restructuring and optimization costs, inclusive of exit & disposal costs, increased for the three and six month periods due to incremental initiatives during the three month period plus additional costs towards HPC separation initiatives and the expiration of transition service agreements associated with the HHI divestiture in the prior year.

Impairment of Intangible Assets. During the three and six month period ended March 30, 2025, the Company recognized an impairment charge on its PowerXL® tradename in response to a triggering event identified during the three month period ended March 30, 2025. There is no such comparable amounts recognized during the three and six month periods ended March 29, 2026.

Interest Expense. Interest expense during the three and six month periods was consistent to the prior period.

Interest Income. Interest income during the three month period was consistent to the prior period, whereas interest income during the six month period decreased due to higher cash balances held in term deposits in the first quarter of the prior period.

Other Non-Operating (Income) Expense, Net. Other non-operating expense is primarily due to changes in foreign currency compared to the prior period.

Income Taxes. Our estimated annual effective tax rate was impacted by income earned outside the U.S. that is subject to U.S. tax, including the U.S. tax on global intangible low taxed income, and certain nondeductible expenses. See Note 12 - Income Taxes in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on the effective tax rate for the three and six month periods.

Loss From Discontinued Operations. Loss from discontinued operations primarily reflect changes to indemnifications associated with divested businesses.

Net sales for the three month period increased with an organic net sales increase of $20.4 million, or 7.6%, excluding a favorable foreign currency impact of $9.7 million. The increase was driven by better-than-anticipated volumes in North America from e-commerce channels, predominantly within the companion animal category and brands, combined with positive pricing adjustments from inflationary costs, with consistent year-over-year sales in the aquatics category from improved pricing offsetting category decline. EMEA volumes were positively impacted by continued market growth for companion animal with further expansion of the GoodBoy® brand across continental Europe and sustained market in the United Kingdom, with further benefit from increased orders in advance of a planned system implementation. Net sales for the six month period increased with an organic net sales increase of $35.6 million or 6.7%, excluding a favorable foreign currency impact of $16.1 million. The increase was attributable to the increase in North America due to the shift of orders out of the prior year in preparation of a system implementation, coupled with positive pricing adjustments and positive e-commerce distribution for Companion Animal products. EMEA sales were positively impacted by favorable foreign currency plus increased volumes due to further expansion of GoodBoy® in continental Europe and orders in advance of planned system implementation. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin for the three month period increased due to higher sales volumes, pricing and cost improvement actions partially offset by higher input costs with inflation and higher trade and investment spend impacting margin. Adjusted EBITDA for the six month period increased due to higher sales volumes and favorable mix offset by higher input costs with inflation in excess of pricing adjustments and cost improvements, and higher trade spend resulting in lower adjusted EBITDA margin.

Net sales and organic net sales for the three month period increased due to favorable retailer sales and weather conditions driving replenishment volumes and growth in our Controls category, which was further benefited by lower prior year volumes with earlier seasonal inventory build up in the prior year, plus some pricing adjustments to mitigate increased input costs. Net sales and organic net sales for the six month period decreased from prior year volumes due to pull forward of orders out of the prior period ahead of a system implementation and a warmer fall season, offset by favorable retailer sales and weather conditions, combined with favorable pricing adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin for the three month period increased due to the higher volumes, productivity improvements and operational efficiencies offset by increased trade spend and unfavorable mix with pricing adjustments largely mitigating additional cost due to tariff and inflationary costs. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin for the six month period increased due to positive pricing adjustments, partially offset by increased trade spend and unfavorable mix.

Net sales	$	240.1		$	254.2		$	(14.1)		(5.5)	%	$	561.6		$	602.3		$	(40.7)		(6.8)	%

Net sales for the three month period decreased with an organic net sales decrease of $27.2 million, or 10.7%, excluding a favorable foreign currency impact of $13.1 million. The decrease was driven by lower net sales in both Personal Care and Home Appliance categories with overall decreased sales in both North America and EMEA. The decrease in EMEA sales was impacted by higher levels of retailer inventory following softness in consumer demand amid increased competition within the market, resulting in lower replenishment orders. North America sales decreased in the Home Appliances category, partially offset by increased sales in the Personal Care category, as consumer demand is adversely impacted by overall consumer softness in light of tariff pricing adjustments, SKU rationalization actions to address change in trade policy to ensure overall profitability, and customer inventory management actions. LATAM sales volume increased with new product launches and distribution. Net sales for the six month period decreased with an organic net sales decrease of $65.9 million, or 10.9%, excluding a favorable foreign currency impact of $25.2 million. The decrease was driven by lower net sales in both product categories in North America and EMEA. The decrease in EMEA sales was attributable to distribution timing and higher retail inventory following weaker than anticipated holiday sales reducing replenishment orders. North America sales decreased in both product categories as it was impacted by overall consumer softness due to increased pricing from tariffs and SKU rationalization actions in response to changes in trade policy to ensure overall profitability. LATAM sales increased with new product launches and improved volumes from successful holiday campaigns. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margins for the three month period increased due to pricing, reduced investment spend, cost improvement initiatives, and favorable foreign currency partially offset by lower volumes and higher tariff costs. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margins for the six month period decreased due to lower volumes, with higher costs mostly mitigated through pricing adjustments and cost improvements, reduced investment spend, and favorable foreign currency.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following is a summary of cash flow from continuing operations for the six month periods ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025, respectively.


(in millions)	March 29, 2026		March 30, 2025
Operating activities	$	77.9	$	(48.6)
Investing activities	(17.4)		(15.2)
Financing activities	(58.0)		(195.0)

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flows provided by operating activities from continuing operations increased $126.5 million, due to higher sales and improved profitability, lower investment in working capital and improved collections on receivables, lower cash paid towards income taxes, and reduced spending on restructuring and separation initiatives.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities increased $2.2 million due to increased capital expenditures.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities decreased $137.0 million due to lower cash dividends and treasury share repurchase activity. During the six month periods ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025, the Company made quarterly cash dividend payments of $0.47 per share, with total dividend payments decreasing due to fewer outstanding shares following treasury share repurchase activity.

Liquidity Outlook

We believe our ability to generate cash flows from operating activities, coupled with our expected ability to access the credit markets, enables us to execute our growth strategies and return value to our shareholders. Our ability to make principal and interest payments on borrowings under our debt agreements and our ability to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future, which, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other conditions. Based upon our current and anticipated level of operations, existing cash balances, and availability under our credit facility, we expect cash flows from operations to be sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. It is not unusual for our business to experience negative operating cash flow during the first quarter of the fiscal year due to the operating calendar with our retail customers and the seasonality of our working capital. Additionally, we believe the availability under our credit facility and access to capital markets are sufficient to achieve our longer-term strategic plans. As of March 29, 2026, the Company had total cash and cash equivalents of $125.1 million and borrowing availability of $470.8 million under our credit facility with a total liquidity of $595.9 million.

We maintain a capital structure that we believe provides us with sufficient access to credit markets. When combined with strong levels of cash flow from operations, our capital structure has provided the flexibility necessary to pursue strategic growth opportunities and return value to our shareholders. The Company’s access to capital markets and financing costs may depend on the Company’s credit ratings. None of the Company’s current borrowings are subject to default or acceleration as a result of a downgrading of credit ratings, although a downgrade of the Company’s credit ratings could increase fees and interest charges on future borrowings. As of March 29, 2026, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the 3.375% Exchangeable Notes, due June 1, 2029 and the 3.875% Notes, due March 15, 2031.

Short-term financing needs primarily consist of working capital requirements, capital spending, periodic principal and interest payments on our long-term debt, and initiatives to support restructuring, integration or other strategic projects. Long-term financing needs depend largely on potential growth opportunities including acquisition activity, repayment or refinancing of our long-term obligations, and share repurchase activity, amongst others. Our long-term liquidity may be influenced by our ability to borrow additional funds, renegotiate existing debt, and raise equity under terms that are favorable to us. We also have long-term obligations associated with defined benefit plans with expected minimum required contributions that are not considered significant to the consolidated group.

The Company has repurchased shares of common stock as further detailed in Note 10 – Shareholders’ Equity in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We may, from time to time, seek to repurchase additional shares of our common stock, including through 10b5-1 plans, and any further repurchase activity will be dependent on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements and other factors.

A portion of our cash balance is located outside the U.S. given our international operations. We manage our worldwide cash requirements centrally by reviewing available cash balances across our worldwide group and the cost effectiveness with which this cash can be accessed. We generally repatriate cash from non-U.S. subsidiaries, provided the cost of the repatriation is not considered material. The counterparties that hold our deposits consist of major financial institutions.

The majority of our business is not considered seasonal with a year round selling cycle that is overall consistent during the fiscal year with the exception of our H&G segment. H&G sales typically peak during the first six months of the calendar year (the Company's second and third fiscal quarters) due to customer seasonal purchasing patterns and the timing of promotional activity. This seasonality requires the Company to ship large quantities of products ahead of peak consumer buying season that can impact cash flow demands to meet manufacturing and inventory requirements earlier in the fiscal year, as well as extended credit terms and/or promotional discounts throughout the peak season.

Other than the changes to debt obligations previously noted, there have been no material changes to our debt obligations, lease obligations, employee benefit obligations, or other contractual obligations or commercial commitments previously disclosed. We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as discussed in our 2025 Annual Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk Factors

No material change in the Company’s market risk has occurred during the six month period ended March 29, 2026. For additional information, refer to Note 7 - Debt and Note 8 - Derivatives included in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in the Quarterly Report and to Part II, Item 7A of the Company's 2025 Annual Report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended) that occurred during the three month period ended March 29, 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. The Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
