CHURCH & DWIGHT CO INC /DE/ Annual Report, Year Ended Dec 31, 2025

Feb 12, 2026

Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (CHD) reported a 1.6% increase in net sales for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, reaching $6.2 billion. This growth was driven by contributions from the Consumer Domestic and Consumer International segments, partially offset by divestitures and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates. The company completed the acquisition of Touchland Holding Corp. for $656 million, enhancing its personal care portfolio. Strategic actions in 2025 included exiting the Flawless, Spinbrush, and Waterpik showerhead businesses, aiming to focus on faster-growing, premium product lines. The company also divested its VitaFusion and L'il Critters (VMS) business, which represented less than 5% of net sales. Despite a decrease in gross margin due to exit costs and prior year tariff refunds, operating margin improved significantly due to the absence of a large impairment charge recorded in the prior year. Diluted EPS saw a substantial increase, driven by higher net income and the strategic repositioning of the business.

Feb 13, 2025

Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (CHD) reported solid net sales growth of 4.1% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, reaching $6.1 billion. This growth was primarily driven by favorable volumes and pricing/product mix across its Consumer Domestic and Consumer International segments, bolstered by recent acquisitions. The company's gross margin also saw a healthy increase of 160 basis points to 45.7%, benefiting from productivity programs and a favorable tariff ruling, although partially offset by higher manufacturing costs. However, operating margin declined significantly due to a substantial non-cash impairment charge of $357.1 million related to its Vitamins, Minerals, and Supplements (VMS) business, which negatively impacted diluted earnings per share. Despite the VMS impairment, the company demonstrated strong operational cash flow, increasing by $125.6 million year-over-year to $1,156.2 million. CHD also returned significant capital to shareholders through dividends and continued to manage its debt effectively. The company strategically expanded its global presence with the acquisition of Graphico in Japan and continues to focus on expanding its e-commerce business, which now represents over 21% of consumer sales.

Feb 15, 2024

Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (CHD) reported robust net sales growth of 9.2% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, reaching $5.87 billion.

The company also saw a significant improvement in profitability, with gross margin expanding by 220 basis points to 44.1% and operating margin increasing by 690 basis points to 18.0%, largely due to favorable price/volume/mix, productivity programs, and lower transportation costs. However, excluding a prior year impairment charge, operating margin saw a slight decrease, indicating increased marketing and SG&A expenses related to acquisitions and growth initiatives. The company returned $566.6 million to stockholders through dividends and share repurchases in 2023.

Feb 16, 2023

Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (CHD) reported net sales growth of 3.6% to $5.38 billion for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. This growth was primarily driven by favorable pricing and product mix across its segments, along with contributions from recent acquisitions, notably the Hero Cosmetics acquisition in October 2022. However, the company experienced a significant 49.4% decrease in diluted EPS to $1.68, largely impacted by a substantial non-cash impairment charge of $411.0 million related to the "Finishing Touch Flawless" intangible assets. Operating margins also declined due to higher manufacturing, commodity, and transportation costs, coupled with unfavorable sales volumes. The company is navigating a challenging operating environment characterized by persistent supply chain issues, elevated inflation impacting raw materials and labor, and shifts in consumer spending towards value-oriented products. Despite these headwinds, Church & Dwight is focused on strategic initiatives including maintaining competitive marketing spend, controlling costs, expanding online presence, and launching new products.

The company successfully integrated the acquisition of THERABREATH in late 2021, further strengthening its oral care portfolio. Despite the sales growth, gross margin saw a decline of 160 basis points to 43.6% due to increased manufacturing, labor, raw material, and transportation costs.

Feb 21, 2019

Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (CHD) demonstrated robust net sales growth of 9.8% in 2018, reaching $4.15 billion, driven by strong performance across its Consumer Domestic and International segments, notably boosted by the Waterpik acquisition. Despite this top-line growth, the company experienced a decline in diluted earnings per share (EPS) to $2.27 from $2.90 in the prior year. This decrease was significantly influenced by a $0.91 EPS impact from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in the prior year and increased commodity, transportation, and manufacturing costs which compressed gross margins. The company continues to focus on its eleven "power brands," which represent a significant portion of its sales. Strategic initiatives include maintaining marketing and trade spending, controlling costs, launching new products, and pursuing strategic acquisitions. The company also returned approximately $413.3 million to stockholders through dividends and share repurchases, underscoring a commitment to shareholder value.
