On August 6, 2004 the Company announced a 3 for 2 stock split. The shares resulting from the stock split were distributed on September 1, 2004 to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 16, 2004. All share and per share information in this report reflects the impact of the stock split.

CHURCH & DWIGHT CO., INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

In August 2003, the Company issued $100 million of 5.25% convertible senior debentures that may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock prior to maturity at a conversion price of approximately $31.00 per share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Because of the inclusion of a contingent convertibility feature of the debentures, the Company’s diluted net income per common share does not give effect to the dilution from the conversion of the debentures until the Company’s share price exceeds 120% of the initial conversion price or the occurrence of other specified events.

The Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) concluded in EITF Issue 04-8: The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share that contingently convertible debt (“Co-Cos”) be treated for diluted EPS purposes as if converted from debt to equity, beginning with the date the contingently convertible debt instrument is initially issued, even if the triggering events (such as stock price) have not yet occurred. The effective date would be reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2004 and prior period EPS amounts presented for comparative purposes, would have to be restated.

The change in accounting rules for reporting Co-Cos will have an estimated $0.02 dilutive effect on earnings per share in 2004.NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

On May 28, 2004, the Company completed the previously announced purchase ofpurchased the remaining 50% of Armkel that it did not previously own from affiliates of Kelso for a purchase price of $253.7 million plus fees.

The Armkel acquisition was funded using available cash and by obtaining new Term A and B Loans through an amendment to the Company’s existing credit agreement. In connection with the amendment, the Company, among other things, was provided with a new Term A Loan in the amount of $100 million, and a new Term B Loan in the amount of $440 million, which were used to replace the Company’s existing credit facility of approximately $194 million, to replace Armkel’s principal credit facility of approximately $136 million and to provide $210 million to fund a portion of the purchase price for the transaction. The new Term B Loan has essentially the same terms as the replaced loans, but with more favorable interest rate provisions. Results of operations for the business are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from May 29, 2004.$262.0 million.

On May 28, 2004,During the first quarter of 2005, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with several banks and other financial institutions, The Bank of Nova Scotia, Fleet National Bank and National City Bank, each as a documentation agent, Citicorp North America, Inc., as syndication agent, and J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement provides for (i) a five year term loan in a principal amount of $100paid approximately $77.0 million (the “Term A Loan”), (ii) a seven year term loan in a principal amount of $440 million, which term loan may be increased by up to an additional $250 million upon the satisfaction of certain conditions (the “Term B Loan,” and together with the Term A Loan, the “Term Loans”), and (iii) a five year multi-currency revolving credit and letter of credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $100 million (the “Revolving Loans”). The Term Loans were used to finance the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in Armkel not previously owned by the Company, pay amounts outstanding under Armkel’s principal credit facility of approximately $136 million and refinance the Company’s principal credit facility of approximately $194 million. The Revolving Loans, which are currently undrawn, are available for general corporate purposes. The obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries. Those domestic subsidiaries have also guaranteed the loan obligations under the Credit Agreement. The Term Loans and the Revolving Loans bear interest under oneB Loan, of two rate options, selected by the Company, equal to either (i) a eurocurrency rate (adjusted for any reserve requirements) (“Eurocurrency Rate”) or (ii) the greater of the prime rate, the secondary market rate for three-month certificates of deposit (adjusted for any reserve requirements) plus 1%, or the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% (“Alternate Base Rate”), plus (b) an applicable margin. The applicable margin is determined by the Company’s then current leverage ratio. At the closing date of the Credit Agreement, the applicable margin was (a) 1.75% for the Eurocurrency Rate and (b) 0.75% for the Alternate Base Rate.which $75.0 million were voluntary payments.

 

AsIn April 2005, the accounts receivable securitization facility was renewed with a result of the purchase of the Kelso interestnew maturity date in Armkel, LLC, the Company assumed $225 million of 9.5% subordinated notes (“Notes”) that were issued on August 28, 2001 at a discount and are due in 2009, with interest paid semi-annually on February 15 and August 15. The effective yield on the Notes is approximately 9.62%. The terms of the Notes provide for an optional prepayment of principal at a premium. The issue discount is being amortized using the effective interest method. The Notes are guaranteed by the Company and certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. The Notes contain various financial and non-financial covenants. In connection with the acquisition, a fair value appraisal of the notes is currently in process.

During July 2004, as a result of purchasing Kelso’s interest in Armkel, the Company amended its Accounts Receivable Securitization Agreement to increase the capacity that can be borrowed from $60 million to $100 million. The increase in borrowing was used to fund a voluntary bank debt payment on Term A Loan on August 4, 2004.April 2006.

The Company estimates it will be requiredmade cash contributions of approximately $1.7 million to make a cash contribution tocertain of its pension plans in the first quarter and expects to make additional contributions of approximately $1.5$2.8 million during 2004. The contribution is $0.8 million higher than previously estimated due to the inclusionremainder of Armkel’s pension plan.2005.

 

In January 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 106-1 “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003” (the Act). The Act introduces a prescription drug benefit under Medicare (Medicare Part D) as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree health care benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. The adoption of the provisions of FSP 106-1 in this quarter did not have a significant impact to the Company’s postretirement accumulated projected benefit obligation or net periodic benefit cost.

14.13. Commitments, contingencies and guarantees

 

 a.In December 1981, the Company formed a partnership with a supplier of raw materials which mines and processes sodium mineral deposits owned by each of the two partners in Wyoming. The Company purchases the majority of its sodium raw material requirements from the partnership. This agreement terminates upon two years’ written notice by either company. The Company has an annual commitment to purchase 240,000 tons, based upon market price. There are no other material transactions with the partnership or the Company’s partner.

 

 b.On January 17, 2002, a petition for appraisal, Cede & Co., Inc. and GAMCO Investors, Inc. v. Medpointe Healthcare Inc., Civil Action No. 19354, was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware demanding a determination of the fair value of shares of Medpointe. The action was brought by purported former shareholders of Carter-Wallace in connection with the merger on September 28, 2001 of MCC Acquisition Sub Corporation with and into Carter-Wallace. The merged entity subsequently changed its name to Medpointe. The petitioners sought an appraisal of the fair value of their shares in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The matter was heard by the court on March 10 and 11, 2003, at which time the petitioners purportedly held approximately 2.3 million shares of Medpointe. An additional post-trial hearing was held on January 20, 2004 to address the valuation of the Company. On July 30, 2004 the Court issued a letter informing the parties that it had determined that the fair value of a share of Carter-Wallace on the Merger Date to be $24.45, and that interest at the annual rate of 7.5% compounded quarterly should be added to the award.

Medpointe and certain former Carter-Wallace shareholders were party to an indemnification agreement pursuant to which such shareholders would be required to indemnify Medpointe from a portion of the damages suffered by Medpointe in relation to the exercise of appraisal rights by the former Carter-Wallace shareholders in the merger. Pursuant to the agreement, the shareholders agreed to indemnify Medpointe for 40% of any Appraisal Damages (defined as the recovery greater than the per share merger price times the number of shares in the appraisal class) suffered by Medpointe in relation to the merger; provided that if the total amount of Appraisal Damages exceeds $33.3 million, then the indemnifying stockholders will indemnify Medpointe for 100% of any damages suffered in excess of that amount. The Company, in turn, was party to an agreement with Medpointe pursuant to which it agreed to indemnify Medpointe and certain related parties against 60% of any Appraisal Damages for which Medpointe remains liable. The maximum liability to the Company pursuant to the indemnification agreement was $12 million.

On March 27, 2003, GAMCO Investors, Inc. filed another complaint in the New York Supreme Court seeking damages from MedPointe, the former directors of Carter-Wallace, and one of the former shareholders of Carter-Wallace. The complaint alleges breaches of fiduciary duty in connection with certain employment agreements with former Carter-Wallace executives, the sale of Carter Wallace’s consumer products business to the Company and the merger of MCC Acquisition Sub Corporation with and into Carter-Wallace. The complaint sought monetary damages and equitable relief, including among other things, invalidation of the transactions. On May 21, 2004, the court dismissed certain of the plaintiffs’ claims. The Company was not named as a defendant in this action and believed it had no liability.

On October 12, 2004, Medpointe and the plaintiffs settled both of the legal actions described above. In connection with the settlement of the legal actions, the Company entered into a settlement agreement and release with Medpointe pursuant to which, in settlement of the Company’s indemnification obligations or other claims that Medpointe may have against the Company and certain persons related to the Company, the Company agreed to pay Medpointe $8.1 million, of which $4.9 million is included in interest expense in the third quarter of 2004 and $3.2 million was applied towards goodwill as of October 1, 2004. Payment was made by the Company on October 13, 2004.

c.The Company’s distribution of condoms under the Trojan and other trademarks is regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Certain of the Company’s condoms and similar condoms sold by its competitors, contain the spermicide nonoxynol-9 (N-9). The World Health Organization and other interested groups have issued reports suggesting that N-9 should not be used rectally or for multiple daily acts of vaginal intercourse, given the ingredient’s potential to cause irritation to human membranes. The Company expects the FDA to issue non-binding draft guidance concerning the labeling of condoms with N-9, although the timing of such draft guidance remains uncertain. The Company believes that condoms with N-9 provide an acceptable added means of contraceptive protection and is cooperating with the FDA concerning the appropriate labeling revisions, if any. However, the Company cannot predict the outcome of the FDA review. While awaiting further FDA guidance, the Company has implemented interim labeling revisions that caution against rectal use and more-than-once-a-day vaginal use of N-9-containing condoms, and has launched a public information campaign to communicate these messages to the affected communities. If the FDA or state governments promulgate rules which prohibit or restrict the use of N-9 in condoms (such as new labeling requirements), the financial condition and operating results of the Company could suffer.

 

 d.Fleming Companies, Inc., a customer of the Company, has filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy. Subsequently, Fleming brought legal action against the Company seeking the recovery of certain alleged preference payments and overpayments made to the Company in the amount of approximately $4.2 million. In addition, Fleming claims that it is owed approximately $1.9 million relating to a vendor agreement with the Company. The Company will vigorously defend the lawsuit but cannot predict with certainty the outcome. However, in the opinion of management, the ultimate amount of liability, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

As part of the Armkel acquisition, the Company has title to property and facilities in Cranbury, New Jersey, which includes research facilities that are in use as well as assets that are held for sale. In the third quarter of 2004, the Company entered into a contract to sell sections of the land available for development (and demolish the remaining buildings at the buyer’s expense), subject to obtaining environmental and other regulatory approvals. The Company expects to close on the sale before the end of 2005. In the first quarter of 2005, the Company entered into a contract to sell the remaining assets held for sale.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Results of Operations

 

The discussion of results of operations at the consolidated level is followed by a more detailed discussion of results of operations by segment for the thirdfirst quarter and nine month periods of 20042005 compared to the thirdfirst quarter and nine month periods of 2003.2004. The segment discussion also presents certain product line fluctuations. With the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in Armkel, LLC (“Armkel”) that the Company did not previously own from affiliates of Kelso & Company (“Kelso”) on May 28, 2004, and Armkel’s subsequent merger with the Company, the results of operations of the former Armkel business are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements from the date of acquisition.

 

Consolidated Results

 

Net Sales

 

Net sales for the quarter increased by $154.7$124.7 million or 58.2%42.1% to $420.3$420.7 million, as compared to $265.6$296.0 million in the previous year’s thirdfirst quarter. Of the increase, $114.8$122.6 million reflects sales of products formerly owned by Armkel, and nowwhich are included in Company sales as a result of the acquisition of Kelso’s interest in Armkel late in the second quarter and $27.6 million reflects sales resulting from the acquisition of the former Unilever oral care business in the fourth quarter of 2003. Other increases included the reversal of prior year promotion accruals of approximately $1.3 million as a result of a change in estimateCompany’s condensed consolidated results, and favorable foreign exchange rates of $0.8 million (excluding the impact of the former Armkel subsidiaries). For the nine month period, net sales increased $287.0 million or 37.3% to $1,057.1 million. The primary reasons for the sales increase are the sales of products formerly owned by Armkel of $158.3 million and sales of $85.8 million resulting from the acquisition of the Unilever oral care business. Sales also increased due to favorable foreign exchange rates of $3.6 million, the reversal of the previously mentioned prior year promotion reserves of $4.3 million and the effect of six extra days in the first quarter of this year’s fiscal calendar.

 

Operating Costs

 

The Company’s gross margin in the current quarter increased to 38.2%38.1% from 30.3%32.6% in the prior year. The increase is in large part a result of the products formerly owned by Armkel, and the oral care business acquired from Unilever as these productswhich carry on average a higher gross profit margin than existingother Company products. The margin was also impacted byExcluding the effect on the third quarter of 2004impact of the former Armkel acquisition related inventory step up charge of $6.2 million, and the reversal of the previously mentioned prior year promotion reserves. In addition, efficient promotion spending, and supply chain efficiencies offset commoditybusiness, gross margin declined. This decline is due to sharp price increases for oil-based raw and packaging materials and certain commodity chemicals during the quarter and new product launch costs were higher in last year’s third quarter. Gross margin for the nine month period was 35.6% as compared to 30.4% for the nine month periodsecond half of 2003. The reasons for the improvement are consistent with those affecting the current quarter and includes a second quarter 2004 plant impairment charge of $1.5 million.2004.

 

Marketing expenses in the current quarter increased by $28.1were $37.6 million, to $51.0an increase of $13.5 million as compared to the same period of 20032004 primarily as a result of bothapproximately $15.0 million in expenses associated with the former Armkel and Unilever oral care business acquisitions.products. Marketing expenses for the Company’s pre-existing product lines were essentially unchanged. For the nine month period, marketingslightly lower than last year as a result of lower expenses of $111.3 million were $45.2 million higher than in 2003 for the same reasons as referenced above, as well as an increase in advertising expenses in support of certain household deodorizing and oral carecleaning products.

 

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses in the current quarter increased $27.4$21.5 million as compared to the same period last year. This is primarily a result of costs associated with the former Armkel business of approximately $18.0 million, higher broker commission$24.0 million. Other SG&A expenses declined due to lower deferred and performance-based compensation costs of $1.6 million as a result of higher sales, higher compensation relatedand decreases in information system costs of $3.9 million and costs to comply with certain provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related regulations of $1.1 million. SG&A expenses for the nine month period increased $47.1 million as compared to the same period last year. This is primarily a result of costs associated with the Armkel business of approximately $25.0 million, higher broker commission costs of $4.3 million as a result of higher sales, tradename amortization expenses associated with the acquired Unilever oral care business of $1.9 million, higher compensation related costs of $6.9 million, higher information system costs of $1.8 million and costs to comply with certain provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related regulations of $2.3 million.legislation.

 

Other Income and Expenses

 

The decrease in equity in earnings of affiliates of $4.0$8.6 million in the current quarter as compared to the year ago period was entirelyis due to the Company’s acquisition of Kelso’s interest in Armkel on May 28, 2004. The combined resultsearnings of the Company’s other equity investments Armand Products Company (“Armand”) and The Armakleen Company (“Armakleen”), slightly increased. For the nine month period the decrease in equity in earnings of affiliates of $12.1 million is primarily due to the reasons noted for the third quarter. Armkel’s net income for the five months ended May 28, 2004 was reduced as a result of an international tradename impairment charge of approximately $3.2 million (net of tax). The impact to the Company was a reduction of earnings in equity of affiliates of approximately $1.6 million. Armkel’s nine month 2003 results were positively impacted by a litigation settlement, partially offset by an impairment of an asset held for sale.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)

 

Other income and expense in 2005 includes the effect of foreign exchange remeasurement losses related to intercompany loans between the Company’s subsidiaries. The 2004 results fromamount reflects a gain on the sale of a warehouse by our Canadian subsidiary and in 2003 reflect foreign exchange gains by the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary.

 

Interest expense increased in the quarter and the nine month period as a result of interest associated with the third quarter settlement of the former Carter-Wallace shareholder appraisal suit of $4.9 million, interest associated with the assumption of Armkel’s indebtedness and the $225 million principal amount of Armkel’s 9.5% Senior Subordinated Notes, the increase in debtCompany’s additional indebtedness required to purchase Kelso’s interest in Armkel and to purchase the Unilever oral care business in late 2003, partially offset by the settlement of the Company’s remaining fixed rate interest rate swap contracts in the first quarter of 2004.

The loss on early extinguishment of debt pertained to existing deferred financing costs that were written off when the Company refinanced its bank debt.Armkel.

 

Taxation

 

The effective tax rate for the nine month periodquarter was 31.5%34.8% as compared to 31.7%33.0% for the same period of last year. Last year’s tax rate reflected the settlement of a state tax dispute, offset by a higher state tax rate and taxes associated with Armkel’s sale of its Italian subsidiary, which helped to depress the tax rate. The current year rate was impacted favorably by the estimated amount of additionalan amended prior year tax return that resulted in a benefit related to a prior year research and development tax credits included in recently filed and amended income tax returns.credit.

Deodorizing products increased $2.7 million ofand laundry products decreased $2.0 million. Net sales associated with the fourth quarter 2003 acquisition of the oral care brands from Unilever and the reversal of $0.9 million of prior year promotion reserves due to a change in estimate. At the product line level, sales of deodorizers were moderately higher than last year and existing personal care products were flat. Laundry consumption was also higher than last year, although shipments were flat due to the timing of promotional activities. At the brand level, sales of Arm & Hammer and Xtra liquid laundry detergent, Arm & Hammer Baking Soda and Arm & Hammer Super Scoop were all significantly higher than last year, while sales of Arm & Hammer powder laundry detergent, fabric softener and antiperspirants were lower.

For the nine month period of 2004, Consumer Domestic Net Sales increased $189.0 million or 31.2% to $794.2 million. The increase includes sales of $79.6 million associated with the domestic results of the former Armkel business, $84.1 million of sales associated with the fourth quarter 2003 acquisition of the oral care brands from Unilever and the reversal of $3.8 million of prior year promotion reserves due to a change in estimate.

Consumer Domestic Income before Taxes and Minority Interest for the current quarter increased $5.9$7.2 million to $28.2 million mainly$41.0 million. This is due to operating results associated withthe increased contribution from the former Armkel business (despiteproducts, slightly lower marketing costs associated with certain deodorizing and cleaning products and lower SG&A for the impactreasons noted above attributable to the non-Armkel portion of the inventory step up charge of $4.6 million) and the contribution from the acquired Unilever brands. This increasebusiness. The higher profitability was partially offset by higher allocatedoil based manufacturing and freight costs. The segment was also impacted by higher interest expense (which includes the segment’s allocation of the interest expense element of the Medpointe Settlement Agreement) and as a result of purchasing Kelso’s interest in Armkel, the elimination of earnings in equity of affiliates.

For the nine month period, Income before Taxes and Minority Interest increased $10.0 million to $82.4 million due to operating results associated with the former Armkel business (despite the impact of the inventory step up charge of $8.0 million) and the contributioncosts resulting from the acquired Unilever brands. This increase was partially offset by a plant impairment charge of $1.5 million, higher allocated interest expense (which includes the segment’s allocation of the interest expense element of the Medpointe Settlement Agreement), the segment’s allocation of the deferred financing cost write-off and as a result of purchasing Kelso’s interest in Armkel a reduction of earnings in equity of affiliates.

The Company expects to significantly increase its marketing spending in the fourth quarter compared to the same period last year. In part, this increase is to support several personal care products introduced earlier in the year, including Arm & Hammer Enamel Care toothpaste, a patented product which combines the cleaning and whitening properties of baking soda with fluoride and liquid calcium to fill tooth surfaces and restore enamel luster; and Trojan® condoms with Warming Sensations, a unique lubricant system which warms the skin on contact for enhanced pleasure. In addition, the increase reflects new initiatives in support of the acquired oral care products, particularly Mentadent® toothpaste and toothbrushes and Close-Up® toothpaste. On the household products side of the business, there will also be marketing spending to support the new cat litter product, Arm & Hammer Multi-Cat, designed for households with two or more cats.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company had outstanding total debt of $901.8$790.5 million and cash of $145.4$101.9 million (of which approximately $48.0$58.4 million resides in foreign subsidiaries). This compares to total debt of $397.0$858.7 million at December 31, 2003.2004. The reason for the increasereduction of total debt since December 31, 2003the beginning of the fiscal year is primarily due to the Company’s assumption of $225 million principal amount of Armkel’s 9.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009, the Company’s assumption of Armkel’svoluntary bank debt payments of approximately $136$75.0 million, and additional amounts borrowed in connection with the acquisition of Kelso’s interest in Armkel of approximately $254 million. The $613 million increase of debt was partially offset by debt repaymentsan increase of approximately $108 million.

The Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with several banks and other financial institutions, The Bank of Nova Scotia, Fleet National Bank and National City Bank, each as a documentation agent, Citicorp North America, Inc., as syndication agent, and J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement provides for (i) a five year term loan in a principal amount of $100$6.3 million (the “Term A Loan”), (ii) a seven year term loan in the principal amount of $440 million, which term loan may be increased by up to an additional $250 million upon the satisfaction of certain conditions (the “Term B Loan,” and togetherassociated with the Term A Loan,Company’s accounts receivable securitization. In April 2005, the “Term Loans”), and (iii)accounts receivable securitization facility was renewed with a five year multi-currency revolving credit and letter of credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $100 million (the “Revolving Loans”).

During July 2004, as a result of purchasing Kelso’s interest in Armkel, the Company amended its Accounts Receivable Securitization Agreement to increase the capacity that can be borrowed from $60 million to $100 million.

Adjusted EBITDA is a required component of the financial covenants contained in the Company’s primary credit facility and management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors as a financial indicator of the Company’s ability to service its indebtedness. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, which is determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Financial covenants include a total debt to Adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio, which if not met, could result in an event of default and trigger the early termination of the credit facility, if not remedied within a certain period of time. Adjusted EBITDA was approximately $180.6$79.5 million for the first 9 monthsquarter of 2004.2005. The leverage ratio (total debt to Adjusted EBITDA) for the 12 months ended OctoberApril 1, 20042005 which, under the loan agreement, permits the inclusion of Armkel’s EBITDA prior to its acquisition by the Company for pro forma purposes was approximately 3.142.74 versus the agreement’s maximum 4.25, and the interest coverage ratio (Adjusted EBITDA to total interest expense) for the twelve months ended April 1, 2005 was approximately 6.045.44 versus the agreement’s minimum of 3.0.
