First Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights (Unaudited)

The following is a summary of key results for the first quarter of Fiscal 2020. All comparisons are with the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 and represent continuing operations unless otherwise stated.

•Net sales were $736.8 million, an increase of 28.8%: (a)


◦	Organic Net sales decreased $19.7 million, or 3.4%, primarily due to lower replenishment and phasing of holiday promotional activity;


◦	The impact of the acquisitions increased Net sales by $186.9 million, or 32.6%; and


◦	Unfavorable movement in foreign currencies, excluding Argentina, resulted in decreased sales of $2.5 million, or 0.4%.

•

Gross margin percentage on a reported basis was 40.9%, versus 48.2% in the prior year. Excluding the current year acquisition and integration costs, Gross margin was 41.8%, down 640 basis points from prior year, largely driven by the lower margin rate profile of the acquired businesses, as well as customer mix, unfavorable foreign currency, tariffs and higher product costs due to lower production volumes in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2019. These decreases were partially offset by improved pricing and realized synergies. (a)

•

A&P was 6.4% of net sales, or $46.8 million, an increase of $5.9 million versus the prior year, with the acquired businesses adding $2.6 million. The legacy business A&P was $44.2 million, an increase of $3.3 million versus prior year. The increased spending on the legacy business reflects continued support for the broad portfolio while spending for the acquired businesses largely reflects increased product and packaging innovation and promotional support for the auto care brands.


•	SG&A, excluding acquisition and integration costs, was 15.1% of net sales, or $111.0 million, an increase of $25.3 million versus the prior year, with the acquired business adding $23.5 million. The legacy business as a percent of net sales was 15.9%, or $87.5 million, up $1.8 million or 90 basis points to prior year first quarter. (a)


•	Interest expense was $51.0 million compared to $48.2 million for the prior year comparative period. Excluding the current year $4.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt and prior year acquisition costs of $32.4 million, the current year Interest expense increased $31.0 million attributed to higher debt associated with the acquisitions. (a)

•

Income tax rate on a year to date basis was 22.0% as compared to 21.3% in the prior year. The prior year rate includes $1.5 million for the one-time impact of U.S. tax legislation passed in December 2017. Excluding the impact of our Non-GAAP adjustments, the year to date tax rate was 22.5% as compared to 20.8% in the prior year. The increase in the rate versus prior year is due to the country mix of earnings which drove a higher foreign tax rate as well as the expiration of certain tax holidays in foreign jurisdictions.


•	Diluted net earnings from continuing operations per common share for the quarter was $0.60 and Adjusted Diluted net earnings from continuing operations per common share for the quarter was $0.85. (a)


•	Net cash from operating activities from continuing operations on a year to date basis was $133.5 million and Adjusted Free cash flow from continuing operations on a year to date basis was $136.7 million, or 18.6% of net sales. (a)


•	Dividend payments in the quarter were $22.7 million, or $0.30 per common share, and $4.0 million, or $1.875 per share of mandatory preferred convertible stock.


•	Discontinued operations reported income of $0.3 million for the quarter. Included in these results are pre-tax costs related to divesting the Varta® consumer battery business of $1.1 million.

•

Subsequent to the quarter end, on January 2, 2020, the company completed the divestment of the Varta® consumer battery business to VARTA AG for an aggregate purchase price of €180 million, subject to purchase price adjustments. The initial proceeds received from VARTA AG and Spectrum were approximately $345 million, which will be subject to a final true up based upon the closing balance sheet. The Company utilized these proceeds to pay down term loan debt.

Total Net sales (In millions - Unaudited)
For the Quarter Ended December 31, 2019
	Q1			% Chg
Net sales - FY'19	$	571.9
Organic	(19.7		)	(3.4	)%
Impact of Battery Acquisition	125.5			21.9	%
Impact of Auto Care Acquisition	61.4			10.7	%
Change in Argentina	0.2			—	%
Impact of currency	(2.5		)	(0.4	)%
Net sales - FY'20	$	736.8		28.8	%

Total Net sales increased 28.8%, or $164.9 million:


•	Organic Net sales decreased 3.4%, or $19.7 million, in the first fiscal quarter due to the following items:


◦	A decline in point-of-sale trends driven by the US price increase taken in the prior year and the impacts of a competitive launch, coupled with lower replenishment volumes associated with hurricane activity in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2019, contributed 2.8% to the decrease;


◦	Phasing of holiday activity from the current quarter to the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2019 contributed 2.4% to the decrease; and


◦	Improved pricing offset the organic decrease by 1.8%.


•	The acquisitions contributed Net sales of $186.9 million, or 32.6%.


•	Our Argentina operations had a favorable impact on Net sales of $0.2 million.


•	Unfavorable movement in foreign currencies resulted in decreased sales of $2.5 million, or 0.4%.



Total Segment profit (In millions - Unaudited)
For the Quarter Ended December 31, 2019
	Q1			% Chg
Segment profit - FY'19	$	170.7
Organic	(25.4		)	(14.9	)%
Impact of Battery Acquisition	27.9			16.3	%
Impact of Auto Care Acquisition	10.1			5.9	%
Change in Argentina	(0.6		)	(0.4	)%
Impact of currency	(1.3		)	(0.6	)%
Segment profit - FY'20	$	181.4		6.3	%

Total Segment profit in the first fiscal quarter increased $10.7 million, or 6.3%. The organic decline of $25.4 million, or 14.9%, was driven by the Net sales decrease, the negative impact of tariffs and higher product costs due to lower production volumes in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2019. In addition, higher A&P spending was nearly offset by SG&A favorability. Our Argentina operations had an unfavorable impact on segment profit of $0.6 million, or 0.4% and foreign currency impacts were unfavorable by $1.3 million, or 0.6%. Offsetting the segment profit organic decrease for the quarter was the favorable impact of the acquisition of $38.0 million, or 22.2%.

Refer to the Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures attached for further information on our above breakouts.

Financial Outlook for Fiscal 2020

The Company is reaffirming all aspects of its previously provided financial outlook for Fiscal 2020 with reported Net sales growth of 9% to 10%, including organic growth in combined battery of 1% to 2% and combined auto care growing at 3.5%, Adjusted Diluted EPS from continuing operations of $3.00 to $3.20¹, Adjusted EBITDA of $610 to $640 million¹ and Adjusted Free cash flow of $310 to $340 million¹. This outlook includes a full year impact of the acquisitions completed in the second quarter of Fiscal 2019 and does not include any benefit associated with storm activity in Fiscal 2020, which, if it occurs, would be incremental.

ENERGIZER HOLDINGS, INC.

Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures

For the Quarter Ended December 31, 2019

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide users with additional meaningful comparisons to the corresponding historical or future period. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude items that are not reflective of the Company's on-going operating performance, such as acquisition and integration costs and related items, settlement loss on pension plan terminations, loss on extinguishment of debt, and the one-time impact of the new U.S. tax legislation. In addition, these measures help investors to analyze year over year comparability when excluding currency fluctuations, acquisition activity as well as other company initiatives that are not on-going. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are an enhancement to assist investors in understanding our business and in performing analysis consistent with financial models developed by research analysts. Investors should consider non-GAAP measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable GAAP measures. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures used by other companies due to possible differences in method and in the items being adjusted.

We provide the following non-GAAP measures and calculations, as well as the corresponding reconciliation to the closest GAAP measure in the following supplemental schedules:

Segment Profit. This amount represents the operations of our two reportable segments including allocations for shared support functions. General corporate and other expenses, global marketing expenses, R&D expenses, amortization expense, interest expense, other items, net, and charges related to acquisition and integration have all been excluded from segment profit.

Adjusted Net Earnings From Continuing Operations and Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Common Share - Continuing Operations (EPS). These measures exclude the impact of the costs related to acquisition and integration, the loss on extinguishment of debt and the one-time impact of the new U.S. income tax legislation.

Non-GAAP Tax Rate. This is the tax rate when excluding the pre-tax impact of acquisition and integration and the loss on extinguishment of debt, as well as the related tax impact for these items, calculated utilizing the statutory rate for where the impact was incurred, as well as the one-time impact of the new U.S. tax legislation.

Organic. This is the non-GAAP financial measurement of the change in revenue or segment profit that excludes or otherwise adjusts for the impact of acquisitions, change in Argentina operations and impact of currency from the changes in foreign currency exchange rates as defined below:

Impact of acquisitions. Energizer completed the Auto Care Acquisition on January 28, 2019 and the Battery Acquisition on January 2, 2019. These adjustments include the impact of the acquisitions' ongoing operations contributed to each respective income statement caption for the first year's operations directly after the acquisition date. This does not include the impact of acquisition and integration costs associated with any acquisition.

Change in Argentina Operations. The Company is presenting separately all changes in sales and segment profit from our Argentina affiliate due to the designation of the economy as highly inflationary as of July 1, 2018.

Impact of currency. The Company evaluates the operating performance of our Company on a currency neutral basis. The impact of currency is the difference between the value of current year foreign operations at the current period ending USD exchange rate, compared to the value of the current year foreign operations at the prior period ending USD exchange rate.

Adjusted Comparisons. Detail for adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted SG&A, adjusted SG&A as percent of sales, adjusted R&D, adjusted interest expense and adjusted Other items, net are also supplemental non-GAAP measure disclosures. These measures exclude the impact of costs related to acquisition and integration and the loss on extinguishment of debt.

Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow. Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities reduced by capital expenditures, net of the proceeds from asset sales. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as Free Cash Flow excluding the cash payments for acquisition and integration expenses and integration capital expenditures. The expense cash payments are net of the statutory tax benefit associated with the payment.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as net earnings before income tax provision, interest and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes the impact of the costs related to acquisition and integration, settlement loss on pension plan termination and share based payments.
