Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents are considered to be highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. At September 30, 2023, the Company had $216.4 in available cash and cash equivalents, a significant portion of which was outside of the U.S. The Company has extensive operations outside of the U.S., including a significant manufacturing footprint. The Company manages its worldwide cash requirements by reviewing available funds among the many subsidiaries through which it conducts its business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. The repatriation of cash balances from certain of the Company’s subsidiaries could have adverse tax consequences or be subject to regulatory capital requirements; however, those balances are generally available without legal restrictions to fund ordinary business operations. Cash Flow Presentation The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are prepared using the indirect method, which reconciles Net earnings to Net cash from operating activities. The reconciliation adjustments include the removal of timing differences between the occurrence of operating receipts and payments and their recognition in Net earnings. The adjustments also remove cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which are presented separately from operating activities. Cash flows from foreign currency transactions and operations are translated at an average exchange rate for the period. Cash flows from hedging activities are included in the same category as the items being hedged, which is primarily operating activities. Cash payments related to income taxes are classified as operating activities. Trade Receivables Trade receivables are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the trade receivables portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, specific allowances for known troubled accounts and other currently available information. Bad debt expense is included in Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The Company has two accounts receivable factoring programs. For further discussion, see Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value, with cost generally determined using average cost or the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Capitalized Software Costs Capitalized software costs are included in Property, plant and equipment, net. These costs are amortized using the straight-line method over periods of related benefit ranging from three Property, Plant and Equipment, net Property, plant and equipment, net (“PP&E”) is stated at historical cost. PP&E acquired as part of a business combination is recorded at estimated fair value. Expenditures for new facilities and expenditures that substantially increase the useful life of property, including interest during construction, are capitalized and reported as Capital expenditures in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. When property is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and gains or losses on the disposition are reflected in Net earnings. Depreciation is generally provided on the straight-line basis by charges to earnings at rates based on estimated useful lives. Estimated useful lives range from two three Estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed and, when appropriate, changes are made and accounted for prospectively. When certain events or changes in operating conditions occur, asset lives may be adjusted and an impairment assessment may be performed on the recoverability of the carrying amounts. Leases The Company leases certain offices and manufacturing facilities, warehouses, employee vehicles and certain manufacturing related equipment. A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified PP&E over a contracted period in exchange for payment. The Company evaluates if an arrangement is a lease as of the effective date of the agreement. Certain leases include an option to either renew or terminate the lease. For purposes of calculating lease liabilities, these options are included within the lease term when it has become reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recorded based on the present value of minimum payments over the lease term at the effective date of the lease. Any costs in excess of the minimum payments are expensed as incurred as variable lease cost. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. All recorded leases are classified as operating leases and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has elected as an accounting policy not to separate non-lease components from lease components and, instead, account for these components as a single lease component. For leases that do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its secured incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available for leases, including the lease term and interest rate environment in the country in which the lease exists, to calculate the present value of the future lease payments. Acquisitions, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The Company allocates the cost of an acquired business to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess value of the cost of an acquired business over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. The valuation of the acquired assets and liabilities will impact the determination of future operating results. The Company uses a variety of information sources to determine the value of acquired assets and liabilities, including: third-party appraisers for the values and lives of property, identifiable intangibles and inventories; actuaries for defined benefit retirement plans; and legal counsel or other experts to assess the obligations associated with legal, environmental or other claims. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are not amortized but are instead evaluated annually for impairment as part of the Company’s annual business planning cycle in the fourth fiscal quarter, or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. The annual test for impairment performed for goodwill can be qualitative or quantitative, taking into consideration certain factors surrounding the fair value of the goodwill including, level by which fair value exceeded carrying value in the prior valuation, as well as macroeconomic factors, industry conditions and actual results at the test date. The quantitative analysis to test for impairment will estimate the fair value of each reporting unit (Wet Shave, Sun Care, Skin Care and/or Feminine Care) using valuation models that incorporate assumptions and projections of expected future cash flows and operating plans. In determining the estimated fair value of the reporting units when performing a quantitative analysis, both the market approach and the income approach are considered in the valuation, and where appropriate, both methods will be used and weighted, unless appropriate market comparables are not available for a reporting unit. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit requires the use of significant judgment, estimates, and assumptions. While the Company believes that the estimates and assumptions underlying the valuation methodology are reasonable, these estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on whether an impairment charge is recognized and the magnitude of any such charge. The results of an impairment analysis are as of a point in time. There is no assurance that actual future earnings or cash flows of the reporting units will not vary significantly from these projections. The Company will monitor any changes to these assumptions and will evaluate the carrying value of goodwill as warranted during future periods. The key assumptions and estimates for the market and income approaches used to determine fair value of the reporting units included market data and market multiples (for the market approach), discount rates and terminal growth rates (for the income approach), as well as revenue growth rates and operating margins (for the income approach), which are based upon management’s strategic plan. The Company evaluates indefinite-lived intangible assets, which consist of trademarks and brand names used across the Company’s segments for impairment on an annual basis. Similar to goodwill, the impairment test can be qualitative or quantitative, taking into consideration certain factors surrounding the fair value of the brand names including, level by which fair value exceeded carrying value in the prior valuation, as well as macroeconomic factors, industry conditions and actual results at the test date. The quantitative test will determine the fair value using one of two income approaches: (i) the multi-period excess earnings method and (ii) the relief-from-royalty method, both of which require significant assumptions, including estimates regarding future revenue and operating margin growth, discount rates, and appropriate royalty rates. Revenue and operating margin growth assumptions are based on historical trends and management’s expectations for future growth by brand. The discount rates were based on a weighted-average cost of capital utilizing industry market data of similar companies and estimated returns on the assets utilized in the operations of the applicable reporting unit, including net working capital, fixed assets and intangible assets. The Company estimated royalty rates based on operating profits of the brand. Intangible assets with finite lives, and a remaining weighted-average life of approximately eight years, are amortized on a straight-line basis over expected lives of three Refer to Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on goodwill and other intangible assets. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets, other than goodwill and other intangible assets, for impairment when events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the remaining useful life may warrant revision or that the carrying amount of the long-lived asset may not be fully recoverable. The Company performs an undiscounted cash flow analysis to determine if impairment exists for an asset or asset group. If impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on estimated fair value. Impairment losses on assets to be disposed of, if any, are based on the estimated proceeds to be received, less cost of disposal. Revenue Recognition Principal Revenue Streams and Significant Judgments Our principal revenue streams can be divided into: (i) sale of personal care products primarily through retailers in North America; (ii) sale of personal care products through a combination of retailers and distributors internationally; and (iii) production and sale of private brands products in North America and internationally that are made to customer specifications. Performance Obligations The Company’s revenue is generated from the sale of its products. Revenue is recognized when the customer obtains control of the goods, which occurs when the ability to use and obtain benefits from the goods are passed to the customer, most commonly upon the delivery of goods to the customer. Discounts are offered to customers for early payment and an estimate of discounts is recorded as a reduction of Net sales in the same period as the sale. The Company’s standard sales terms are final and returns or exchanges are not permitted with the exception of end of season returns for Sun Care products. Reserves are established and recorded in cases where the right of return exists for a particular sale. The Company assesses the goods promised in its customers’ purchase orders and identifies a performance obligation to transfer goods (or a bundle of goods) that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, the Company considers all the goods promised, whether explicitly stated or implied based on customary business practices. The Company’s purchase orders are short term in nature, lasting less than one year and contain a single delivery element. For a purchase order that has more than one performance obligation, the Company allocates the total consideration to each distinct performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. The Company does not exclude variable consideration in determining the remaining value of performance obligations. Significant Judgments The Company records sales at the time that control of goods pass to the customer. The terms of these sales vary but the following conditions are applicable to all sales: (i) the sales arrangement is evidenced by purchase orders submitted by customers; (ii) the selling price is fixed or determinable; (iii) title to the product has transferred; (iv) there is an obligation to pay at a specified date without any additional conditions or actions required by the Company; and (v) collectability is reasonably assured. Simultaneously with the sale, the Company reduces Net sales and Cost of products sold and reserves amounts on its Consolidated Balance Sheet for anticipated returns based upon an estimated return level in accordance with GAAP. The Company also allows for returns of other products under limited circumstances. Customers are required to pay for the Sun Care product purchased during the season under the required terms. Under certain circumstances, the Company allows customers to return Sun Care products that have not been sold by the end of the Sun Care season, which is normal practice in the Sun Care industry. The timing of returns of Sun Care products can vary in different regions based on climate and other factors. However, the majority of returns occur in the U.S. from September through January following the summer Sun Care season. The Company estimates the level of Sun Care returns as the Sun Care season progresses using a variety of inputs including historical experience, consumption trends during the Sun Care season, obsolescence factors including expiration dates and inventory positions at key retailers. The Company monitors shipment activity and inventory levels at key retailers during the season in an effort to more accurately estimate potential returns. This allows the Company to manage shipment activity to its customers, especially in the latter stages of the Sun Care season, to reduce the potential for returned product. The Company also allows for returns of other products under limited circumstances. Non-Sun Care returns are evaluated each period based on communications with customers and other issues known as of period end. The Company had a reserve for returns of $53.5 and $47.5 at September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In addition, the Company offers a variety of programs, such as consumer coupons and rebate programs, primarily to its retail customers, designed to promote sales of its products. Such programs require periodic payments and allowances based on estimated results of specific programs and are recorded as a reduction to Net sales. The Company accrues, at the time of sale, the estimated total payments and allowances associated with each transaction. Additionally, the Company offers programs directly to consumers to promote the sale of its products. Promotions which reduce the ultimate consumer sale price are recorded as a reduction of Net sales at the time the promotional offer is made using estimated redemption and participation levels. Taxes the Company collects on behalf of governmental authorities, which are generally included in the price to the customer, are also recorded as a reduction of Net sales. The Company continually assesses the adequacy of accruals for customer and consumer promotional program costs not yet paid. To the extent total program payments differ from estimates, adjustments may be necessary. Historically, these adjustments have not been material. Contract Balances The timing of revenue recognition is based on completion of performance obligations through the transfer of goods. Standard payment terms with customers require payment after goods have been delivered and risk of ownership has transferred to the customer. The Company has contract liabilities as a result of advanced payments received from certain customers before goods have been delivered and all performance obligations have been completed. Contract liabilities were $0.6 and $1.1 at September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and were classified within Other current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Substantially all of the amount deferred will be recognized within a year, with the significant majority to be captured within a quarter following deferral. Trade receivables are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in its receivables portfolio determined by historical experience, specific allowances for known troubled accounts, and other currently available information. Advertising and Sales Promotion Costs The Company advertises and promotes its products through national and regional media and expenses such activities as incurred. Advertising and sales promotion expense reported on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income includes advertising costs of $116.0, $125.8 and $142.3 for fiscal 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Share-Based Payments The Company grants restricted share equivalents (“RSE”), which generally vest over two Non-qualified stock options (“Share Options”) are granted at the market price on the grant date and generally vest ratably over three years. The Company calculates the fair value of total share-based compensation for Share Options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which utilizes certain assumptions and estimates that have a material impact on the amount of total compensation cost recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the expected term, expected share price volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The original estimate of the grant date fair value is not subsequently revised unless the awards are modified. The Company has elected to recognize forfeiture of awards as they occur. Income Taxes The Company’s annual effective income tax rate is determined based on its pre-tax income, statutory tax rates and the tax impacts of items treated differently for tax purposes than for financial reporting purposes. Tax law requires that certain items be included in its federal tax return at different times than the items are reflected in the financial statements. Some of these differences are permanent, such as expenses that are not deductible in the Company’s tax return, and some differences are temporary, reversing over time, such as depreciation expense. These temporary differences create deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets generally represent the tax effect of items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in future years for which the Company has already recorded the tax benefit in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent tax expense recognized in the Company’s financial statements for which payment has been deferred, the tax effect of expenditures for which a deduction has already been taken in its tax return but has not yet been recognized in its financial statements or assets recorded at estimated fair value in business combinations for which there was no corresponding tax basis adjustment. The Company estimates income taxes and the effective income tax rate in each jurisdiction that it operates. This involves estimating taxable earnings, specific taxable and deductible items, the likelihood of generating sufficient future taxable income to utilize deferred tax assets, the portion of the income of foreign subsidiaries that is expected to be remitted to the U.S. and be taxable and possible exposures related to future tax audits. Deferred tax assets are evaluated on a subsidiary by subsidiary basis to ensure that the asset will be realized. Valuation allowances are established when the realization is not deemed to be more likely than not. Future performance is monitored, and when objectively measurable operating trends change, adjustments are made to the valuation allowances accordingly. To the extent the estimates described above change, adjustments to income taxes are made in the period in which the estimate is changed. The Company operates in multiple jurisdictions with complex tax and regulatory environments, which are subject to differing interpretations by the taxpayer and the taxing authorities. At times, the Company may take positions that management believes are supportable but are potentially subject to successful challenges by the appropriate taxing authority. The Company evaluates its tax positions and establishes liabilities in accordance with guidance governing accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The Company reviews these tax uncertainties in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the progress of tax audits, and adjusts them accordingly. Estimated Fair Values of Financial Instruments Certain financial instruments are required to be recorded at estimated fair value. Changes in assumptions or estimation methods could affect the fair value estimates; however, the Company does not believe any such changes would have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Other financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents and short-term borrowings, including notes payable, are recorded at cost, which approximates estimated fair value. The estimated fair values of long-term debt and financial instruments are disclosed in Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Foreign Currency Translation Financial statements of foreign operations where the local currency is the functional currency are translated using end-of-period exchange rates for assets and liabilities, and average exchange rates during the period for results of operations. Related translation adjustments are reported as a component within accumulated other comprehensive loss in the shareholders’ equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets, except as noted below. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in Net earnings. Foreign currency (losses) gains of $(1.7), $7.7 and $0.5 during fiscal 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were included within Other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The Company uses foreign exchange (“FX”) instruments to reduce the risk of FX transactions as described below and in Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Financial Instruments and Derivative Securities The Company uses financial instruments, from time to time, in the management of foreign currency, interest rate, and other risks that are inherent to its business operations. Such instruments are not held or issued for trading purposes. FX instruments, including forward currency contracts, are used primarily to reduce cash transaction exposures and, to a lesser extent, to manage other translation exposures. FX instruments are selected based on their risk reduction attributes, costs, and related market conditions. The Company has designated certain foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes as of September 30, 2023. At September 30, 2023, the Company had $122.0 of variable rate debt outstanding. In the past the Company has used interest rate swaps to hedge the risk of variable rate debt. As of September 30, 2023, the Company did not have any outstanding interest rate swap agreements. For further discussion, see Note 11 and Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-04, " Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations ". This guidance requires annual and interim disclosures for entities that use supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services. These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the amendment on roll forward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company is assessing the impact, if any, of this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements. |

Business Combinations [Abstract] | |
Business Combinations and Divestitures | Business Combinations Billie Inc. On November 29, 2021, the Company completed the Billie Acquisition for cash consideration of $309.4, net of cash acquired. As a result of the Acquisition, Billie became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company accounted for the Acquisition utilizing the acquisition method of accounting, which requires assets and liabilities to be recognized based on estimates of their acquisition date fair values. The determination of the values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including goodwill, other intangible assets and deferred taxes, requires significant judgement. The Company has calculated fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired from Billie, including goodwill, intangible assets and working capital. The Company completed the final fair value determination of the Acquisition in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022. The Company used variations of the income approach in determining the fair value of intangible assets acquired in the Billie Acquisition. Specifically, we utilized the multi-period excess earnings method to determine the fair value of the definite lived customer relationships acquired and the relief from royalty method to determine the fair value of the definite lived trade name acquired. Our determination of the fair value of the intangible assets acquired involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions related to revenue growth rates, discount rates, customer attrition rates, and royalty rates. Edgewell believes that the fair value assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on reasonable assumptions and estimates that marketplace participants would use. The following table provides the allocation of the purchase price related to the Billie Acquisition based upon the fair value of assets and liabilities assumed: Current assets $ 17.0 Goodwill 181.2 Intangible assets 136.0 Other assets, including property, plant and equipment, net 3.2 Current liabilities (6.9) Deferred tax liabilities (21.1) $ 309.4 The acquired goodwill represented the value of expansion into new markets and channels of trade and is not deductible for tax purposes. The intangible assets acquired consisted primarily of the Billie trade name and customer relationships with a weighted average useful life of 19 years. All assets are included in the Company’s Wet Shave segment. Billie contributed net sales and a loss before income taxes totaling $93.7 and $1.1, respectively, for the post-acquisition period ending September 30, 2022 in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The loss before income taxes was driven primarily by amortization expense of acquired intangible assets. Acquisition and integration costs related to Billie totaling $7.5 and nil were included in SG&A and Cost of products sold in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income, respectively, for fiscal 2023. Acquisition and integration costs related to Billie totaling $9.1 and $0.8 were included in SG&A and Cost of products sold in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income, respectively, for fiscal 2022. The following summarizes the Company's unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for the twelve months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, as though the Billie Acquisition occurred on October 1, 2020. The twelve months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 include results of Billie over the full periods presented. Twelve Months Ended September 30, 2022 2021 Pro forma net sales $ 2,181.7 $ 2,155.3 Pro forma net earnings 104.9 93.1 The unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations were adjusted by pre-tax amortization expense of $1.3 and $8.9 for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Additionally, pro forma earnings for the twelve months ended September 30, 2022 exclude $9.9 of pre-tax acquisition costs, which were included in the pro forma earnings for the twelve months ended September 30, 2021. The pro forma earnings were also adjusted to reflect the capital structure as of the Acquisition Date, and all pro forma adjustments have been included with related tax effects. The unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results obtained had the Billie Acquisition occurred on October 1, 2020, or of those results that may be obtained in the future. Amounts do not reflect any anticipated cost savings or cross-selling opportunities expected to result from the Billie Acquisition. Cremo Holding Company, LLC On September 2, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of Cremo Holding Company, LLC (the “Cremo Acquisition”). The Company accounted for the Cremo Acquisition utilizing the acquisition method of accounting, which requires assets and liabilities to be recognized based on estimates of their acquisition date fair values. The determination of the values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including goodwill and other intangible assets, requires significant judgment. We have calculated fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired from Cremo including goodwill and intangible assets and working capital. The Company completed the final fair value determination of the Cremo Acquisition in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. The Company used variations of the income approach in determining the fair value of intangible assets acquired in the Cremo Acquisition. Specifically, we utilized the multi-period excess earnings method to determine the fair value of the definite lived customer relationships acquired and the relief from royalty method to determine the fair value of the definite lived trade name and proprietary technology acquired. Our determination of the fair value of the intangible assets acquired involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions related to revenue growth rates, discount rates, customer attrition rates, and royalty rates. The Company believes that the fair value assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on reasonable assumptions and estimates that marketplace participants would use. The following table provides the allocation of the purchase price related to the Cremo Acquisition based upon the fair value of assets and liabilities assumed: Working capital and other net assets (including cash of $0.7) $ 11.5 Intangible assets 95.1 Goodwill 128.0 Net Assets acquired $ 234.6 The acquired goodwill represented the value of expansion into new markets and channels of trade and is deductible for tax purposes. The intangible assets acquired consisted primarily of the Cremo trade name, customer relationships, and product formulations with a weighted-average useful life of 17 years. All assets are included in the Company’s Sun and Skin Care segment. The Company noted that the net sales and net earnings of Cremo from the beginning of fiscal 2020 through the date of the closing of the Cremo Acquisition were not material relative to the total net sales and net earnings of the Company during fiscal 2020, and thus pro-forma results for Cremo were not disclosed in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805. Acquisition and integration costs related to Cremo totaling $7.1 for the year ended September 30, 2021 were included in SG&A in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. Additionally, acquisition costs of $1.3 were included in Cost of products sold for the year ended September 30, 2021. |

Refer to Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for further discussion. A reconciliation of income taxes with the amounts computed at the statutory federal income tax rate follows: Fiscal Year 2023 2022 2021 Computed tax at federal statutory rate $ 31.0 21.0 % $ 25.8 21.0 % $ 30.7 21.0 % State income taxes, net of federal tax benefit 2.7 1.8 2.7 2.2 0.8 0.6 Foreign tax less than the federal rate (1) (1.0) (0.7) (11.7) (9.5) (9.0) (6.2) Adjustments to prior years’ tax accruals (6.1) (4.2) 1.6 1.3 (4.3) (2.9) Other taxes including repatriation of foreign earnings 4.4 3.1 4.6 3.7 8.9 6.1 Other, net 1.4 0.9 3.9 3.2 2.7 1.8 Uncertain tax positions 0.6 0.4 (2.3) (2.0) (0.5) (0.6) Total $ 33.0 22.3 % $ 24.6 19.9 % $ 29.3 19.8 % (1) Includes the impact of foreign valuation allowances. The deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities recorded on the balance sheet were as follows, and include current and noncurrent amounts: September 30, 2023 2022 Deferred tax liabilities: Depreciation and property differences $ (20.8) $ (22.8) Amortizable assets (230.2) (229.4) Lease liabilities (15.2) (13.0) Other tax liabilities (4.3) (3.9) Gross deferred tax liabilities (270.5) (269.1) Deferred tax assets: Accrued liabilities 56.6 55.8 Deferred and share-based compensation 14.9 13.7 Tax carryforwards and tax credits 37.3 26.0 Postretirement benefits other than pensions 1.0 1.1 Pension plans 25.0 24.0 Inventory differences 5.0 5.8 Lease right of use assets 15.3 13.1 Deferred revenue 7.0 9.7 Other tax assets 8.0 8.1 Gross deferred tax assets 170.1 157.3 Valuation allowance (18.3) (10.3) Net deferred tax liabilities $ (118.7) $ (122.1) There were no material tax loss carryforwards that expired in fiscal 2023. Future expirations of tax loss carryforwards and tax credits, if not utilized, are not expected to be material from 2023 through 2040. The remaining tax loss carryforwards and credits have no expiration. The valuation allowance is primarily attributable to tax loss carryforwards, other carryforwards, and certain deferred tax assets impacted by the deconsolidation of the Company’s Venezuelan subsidiaries. The Company generally repatriates a portion of current year earnings from select non-US subsidiaries only if the economic cost of the repatriation is not considered material. No provision is made for additional taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign affiliates that are intended and planned to be indefinitely invested in the affiliate. The Company intends to, and has plans to, reinvest these earnings indefinitely in its foreign subsidiaries to, amongst other things, fund local operations, fund pension and other post-retirement obligations, fund capital projects and to support foreign growth initiatives including potential acquisitions. As of September 30, 2023, approximately $897.0 of foreign subsidiary earnings were considered indefinitely invested in those businesses. If the Company repatriated any of the earnings it could be subject to withholding tax and the impact of foreign currency movements. Accordingly, it is not practical to calculate a specific potential tax exposure. Applicable income and withholding taxes will be provided on these earnings in the periods in which they are no longer considered reinvested. Amounts have been revised to reflect the correction of certain immaterial misstatements. Refer to Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for further discussion. Unrecognized tax benefits activity is summarized below: 2023 2022 2021 Unrecognized tax benefits, beginning of year $ 19.4 $ 21.9 $ 22.4 Additions based on current year tax positions and acquisitions 1.9 2.1 2.0 Settlements with taxing authorities and statute expirations (1.6) (4.6) (2.5) Unrecognized tax benefits, end of year $ 19.7 $ 19.4 $ 21.9 Included in the unrecognized tax benefits noted above was $18.7 of uncertain tax positions that would affect the Company’s effective tax rate, if recognized. The Company does not expect any significant increases or decreases to its unrecognized tax benefits within 12 months of this reporting date. In the Consolidated Balance Sheets, unrecognized tax benefits are classified as Other liabilities (non-current) to the extent that payments are not anticipated within one year. The Company classifies accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax provision. The accrued interest and penalties are not included in the table above. The Company accrued approximately $4.4 of interest, (net of the deferred tax asset of $0.8) at September 30, 2023, and $4.1 of interest, (net of the deferred tax asset of $0.7) at September 30, 2022. Interest was computed on the difference between the tax position recognized in accordance with GAAP and the amount previously taken or expected to be taken in the Company’s tax returns. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various cities and states, and more than 30 foreign jurisdictions where the Company has operations. In general, U.S. federal income tax returns for tax years ended September 30, 2020 and after remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state and local income tax examinations for years before September 30, 2013. The status of international income tax examinations varies by jurisdiction. At this time, the Company does not anticipate any material adjustments to its financial statements resulting from tax examinations currently in progress. |

Estimated amortization expense for amortizable intangible assets is as follows: Estimated amortization expense Fiscal 2024 $ 31.0 Fiscal 2025 $ 31.0 Fiscal 2026 $ 30.6 Fiscal 2027 $ 30.4 Fiscal 2028 $ 30.3 Thereafter $ 227.6 Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life are not amortized but are instead reviewed annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year for impairment of value or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. The Company continuously monitors changing business conditions, which may indicate that the remaining useful life of goodwill and other intangible assets may warrant revision or carrying amounts may require adjustment. Indefinite-lived intangible assets The Company’s annual indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment testing was conducted on July 1, 2023 using the Company’s strategic plan. The Company elected to perform a qualitative test of impairment for all indefinite lived intangible assets with the exception of the Schick, Bulldog and the Carefree, o.b., Stayfree trade names. For the qualitative test of indefinite lived intangible assets, there were no significant events or adverse trends that could negatively impact the fair value of the intangible assets. For the Schick, Bulldog, and the Carefree, o.b., Stayfree trade names, the Company elected to perform a quantitative impairment test in fiscal 2023 using the Company’s strategic plan to calculate a five-year cash flow. The annual impairment assessment of the indefinite-lived intangible assets concluded there was no indication of impairment of the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company performed an assessment in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 to determine if any significant events or changes in circumstances had occurred that would be considered a potential triggering event. The Company did not identify a triggering event that would indicate the existence of any impairment of the indefinite-lived intangible assets. Goodwill |

Transfers and Servicing [Abstract] | |
Accounts receivable facility | Accounts Receivable Facility The Company participates in accounts receivable facility programs both in the United States and Japan. These receivable agreements are between the Company, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., New York Branch, as the purchaser (the “Accounts Receivable Facility”) and the subsidiaries of both parties. Transfers under the Accounts Receivable Facility are accounted for as sales of receivables, resulting in the receivables being derecognized from the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The purchaser assumes the credit risk at the time of sale and has the right at any time to assign, transfer, or participate any of its rights under the purchased receivables to another bank or financial institution. The purchase and sale of receivables under the Accounts Receivable Facility is intended to be an absolute and irrevocable transfer without recourse by the purchaser to the Company for the creditworthiness of any obligor. The Company continues to have collection and servicing responsibilities for the receivables sold and receives separate compensation for their servicing. The compensation received is considered acceptable servicing compensation and, as such, the Company does not recognize a servicing asset or liability. Effective February 7, 2022, the Company increased the maximum receivables sold facility amount under the Sixth Amendment to Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement to $180.0 from $150.0 and amended the pricing index used to determine the purchase price for subject receivables from LIBOR to the Bloomberg Short Term Bank Yield Index (“BSBY”). The applicable margin that is added to the BSBY pricing index specific for each obligor was unchanged. Except as noted above, all other terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Accounts Receivable Facility are unmodified in all respects and continue in full force and effect. On August 5, 2022, the Company entered into the Master Receivable Assignment Agreement (the "Japan Agreement"). The Japan Agreement was between Schick Japan K.K. and Concerto Receivables Corporation (the “Purchaser”), Tokyo Branch, a subsidiary of MUFG Bank, LTD., which allows the Company to assign third party accounts receivable to the Purchaser. The Japan Agreement allows for the sale of up to ¥3,000 (approximately $20.0 using the exchange rate as of September 30, 2023) with limits set between individual customers. The terms of the agreement expire one year after the date of execution and will be renewed annually unless either party notifies of its intent not to renew. The assigned receivables will be discounted using the funding rate from the Tokyo Interbank Market plus 1.1%. As of September 30, 2023, the discount rate used to determine the purchase price for the subject receivables is based upon BSBY plus a margin applicable to the specified obligor. Accounts receivable sold under the Accounts Receivable Facility for the years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were $1,162.7 and $1,046.8, respectively. The trade receivables sold that remained outstanding under the Accounts Receivable Facility as of September 30, 2023 and 2022 were $82.1 and $78.7, respectively. The net proceeds received were included in Cash provided by operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The difference between the carrying amount of the trade receivables sold and the sum of the cash received is recorded as a loss on sale of receivables in Other (income) expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. For the year ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the loss on sale of trade receivables was $6.2 and $2.0, respectively. |

At September 30, 2022, the balance for the Senior Notes due 2028 and the Senior Notes due 2029 are reflected net of debt issuance costs of $8.3 and $5.3, respectively. (2) The U.S. revolving credit facility matures in 2025. At September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company also had outstanding short-term notes payable with financial institutions with original maturities of less than 90 days of $19.5 and $19.0, respectively, with variable weighted-average interest rates of 3.9% for both periods. These notes were primarily outstanding international borrowings. Issuance of Senior Notes On March 8, 2021, the Company entered into a new unsecured indenture agreement for 4.125% Senior Notes in the amount of $500 due April 1, 2029 (the “2029 Notes”). The Company used the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2029 Notes, together with cash on hand, to satisfy and discharge its obligations outstanding under its 4.70% Senior Notes in the amount of $500 due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”) and to pay fees associated therewith. The Company incurred $6.5 in bank, legal, and other fees in connection with the issuance of the 2029 Notes, which has been deferred and is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2029 Notes. Interest expense on the 2029 Notes is due semiannually on April 1 and October 1. In connection with the early repayment of the 2022 Notes, the Company recorded expense of $26.1 in fiscal 2021, which is included in Cost of early retirement of long-term debt in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. This expense included a premium of $25.5 and debt issuance cost write-offs of $0.6. Debt Covenants The U.S. revolving credit facility maturing in 2025 (“Revolving Credit Facility”) governing our outstanding debt at September 30, 2023 contains certain customary representations and warranties, financial covenants, covenants restricting the Company’s ability to take certain actions, affirmative covenants and provisions relating to events of default. Under the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, the ratio of the Company’s indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), as defined in the agreement and detailed below, cannot be greater than 4.0 to 1.0, however, there is an exception for acquisition activity. In addition, under the Revolving Credit Facility, the ratio of the Company’s EBITDA, as defined in the credit agreement, to total interest expense must exceed 3.0 to 1. Under the Revolving Credit Facility, EBITDA is defined as net earnings, as adjusted to add-back interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, all of which are determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the credit agreement allows certain non-cash charges such as stock award amortization and asset write-offs including, but not limited to, impairment and accelerated depreciation, and operating expense reductions or synergies to be “added-back” in determining EBITDA for purposes of the indebtedness ratio. Total debt and interest expense are calculated in accordance with GAAP. If the Company fails to comply with these covenants or with other requirements of the Revolving Credit Facility, the lenders may have the right to accelerate the maturity of the debt. Acceleration under the Revolving Credit Facility would trigger cross-defaults on its other borrowings. As of September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with the provisions and covenants associated with the Revolving Credit Facility. Debt Maturities |

Retirement Benefits [Abstract] | |
Retirement Plans | Retirement Plans Pensions and Postretirement Plans The Company has several defined benefit pension plans covering employees in the U.S. and certain employees in other countries, which are included in the information below. The plans provide retirement benefits based on years of service and earnings. The Company also sponsors or participates in a number of other non-U.S. pension and postretirement arrangements, including various retirement and termination benefit plans, some of which are required by local law or coordinated with government-sponsored plans, which are not significant in the aggregate and, therefore, are not included in the information presented below. The Company initiated the wind-up of its Canadian defined benefit pension plan (“Canada Plan”) in June 2021. On September 1, 2021, Edgewell Personal Care Canada ULC (“EPC Canada”) as administrator of the Canada Plan entered into a buy-in annuity purchase agreement (“Buy-in Agreement”) with Brookfield Annuity Company (“Brookfield Annuity”) for certain members of the Canada Plan. On January 25, 2023, the Company received approval by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario to wind-up the Canada Plan. Upon regulatory approval of the Canada Plan, EPC Canada proceeded with purchasing annuities for the remaining Canada Plan participants and converting the Buy-in Agreement to a buy-out annuity purchase agreement (“Buy-out Agreement”), which was purchased and funded by the Canada Plan on March 31, 2023. The Company was relieved of its defined benefit pension obligation through its irrevocable commitment under the Buy-out Agreement. As of the settlement date, the Company remeasured its assets and its projected benefit obligation associated with the Canada Plan. Upon settlement, the Company derecognized the assets, projected benefit obligation and losses remaining in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCI”) associated with the Canada Plan, which resulted in a loss on settlement of $7.9. The loss was recorded in Other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. The Company funds its pension plans in compliance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) or local funding requirements. The following tables present the benefit obligation, plan assets, and funded status of the plans: As of September 30, Pension Postretirement 2023 2022 2023 2022 Change in projected benefit obligation Benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 439.4 $ 618.7 $ 4.1 $ 5.5 Service cost 1.9 3.8 — — Interest cost 20.6 10.2 0.2 0.2 Actuarial gain (12.9) (141.1) (0.1) (0.9) Benefits paid, net (29.6) (26.4) (0.3) (0.3) Plan settlements (21.9) (4.3) — — Expenses paid — — — — Foreign currency exchange rate changes 7.4 (21.5) — (0.4) Projected benefit obligation at end of year 404.9 439.4 3.9 4.1 Change in plan assets Estimated fair value of plan assets at beginning of year 398.2 570.5 — — Actual return on plan assets 8.9 (121.0) — — Company contributions 0.9 0.9 0.3 0.3 Plan settlements (21.9) (4.3) — — Benefits paid (29.6) (26.4) (0.3) (0.3) Expenses paid — — — — Foreign currency exchange rate changes 8.2 (21.5) — — Divestiture (0.8) — — — Estimated fair value of plan assets at end of year 363.9 398.2 — — Funded status at end of year $ (41.0) $ (41.2) $ (3.9) $ (4.1) The following table presents the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity: As of September 30, Pension Postretirement 2023 2022 2023 2022 Amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Noncurrent assets $ 13.5 $ 12.0 $ — $ — Current liabilities (1.0) (0.9) (0.2) (0.2) Noncurrent liabilities (53.5) (52.3) (3.7) (3.9) Net amount recognized $ (41.0) $ (41.2) $ (3.9) $ (4.1) Amounts recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive loss Net loss (gain) $ 119.3 $ 128.6 $ (7.3) $ (7.4) Prior service credit — — — — Net amount recognized, pre-tax $ 119.3 $ 128.6 $ (7.3) $ (7.4) Pre-tax changes recognized in Other comprehensive income for fiscal 2023 were as follows: Pension Post- Changes in plan assets and benefit obligations recognized in Other comprehensive income Net (gain) loss arising during the year $ (0.5) $ (0.1) Effect of exchange rates 0.8 (0.1) Amounts recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost Amortization or settlement recognition of net (loss) gain (9.6) 0.3 Total recognized in Other comprehensive income $ (9.3) $ 0.1 Pension contributions required in fiscal 2024 and beyond represent future pension payments to comply with local funding requirements in the U.S. only.

The following table shows pension plans with an accumulated benefit obligation in excess of plan assets: As of September 30, 2023 2022 Projected benefit obligation $ 309.1 $ 331.0 Accumulated benefit obligation 309.1 331.0 Estimated fair value of plan assets 254.6 277.8 Pension plan assets in the U.S. plan represent approximately 70% of assets in all of the Company’s defined benefit pension plans. Investment policy for the U.S. plan includes a mandate to diversify assets and invest in a variety of asset classes to achieve that goal. The U.S. plan’s assets are currently invested in several funds representing most standard equity and debt security classes. The broad target allocations are: (a) equities, including U.S. and foreign: approximately 41% and (b) debt securities, including U.S. bonds: approximately 59%. Actual allocations at September 30, 2023 approximated these targets. The U.S. plan held no shares of Company common stock at September 30, 2023. Investment objectives are similar for non-U.S. pension arrangements, subject to local regulations. The following table presents pension and post-retirement expense: Fiscal Year Pension Postretirement 2023 2022 2021 2023 2022 2021 Service cost $ 1.9 $ 3.8 $ 4.4 $ — $ — $ — Interest cost 20.6 10.2 9.6 0.2 0.2 0.2 Expected return on plan assets (21.5) (21.1) (22.4) — — — Recognized net actuarial loss (gain) 1.7 6.4 9.5 (0.3) (0.3) (0.3) Settlement loss recognized 7.9 1.8 — — — — Net periodic benefit cost (credit) 10.6 1.1 1.1 (0.1) (0.1) (0.1) The service cost component of the net periodic cost associated with the Company’s retirement plans is recorded to Cost of products sold and SG&A in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The remaining net periodic cost is recorded to Other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The Company utilized the spot discount rate approach, which applies the specific spot rates along the yield curve used in the determination of the benefit obligations to the relevant cash flows. The following table presents assumptions, which reflect weighted-averages for the component plans, used in determining the above information: Fiscal Year Pension Postretirement 2023 2022 2021 2023 2022 2021 Plan obligations: Discount rate 5.5 % 5.1 % 2.3 % 5.6 % 5.1 % 3.5 % Compensation increase rate 2.5 % 2.5 % 2.5 % 4.0 % 4.0 N/A Net periodic benefit cost: Discount rate 5.1 % 2.3 % 2.1 % 5.1 % 3.5 % 2.8 % Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets 4.9 % 4.2 % 4.5 % N/A N/A N/A Compensation increase rate 2.5 % 2.5 % 2.5 % 4.0 % 4.0 N/A Cash balance interest credit rate 4.2 % 3.3 % 1.9 % N/A N/A N/A The expected return on plan assets was determined based on historical and expected future returns of the various asset classes, using the target allocations described above. The following table sets forth the estimated fair value of the Company’s pension assets segregated by level within the estimated fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on the estimated fair value hierarchy and estimated fair value principles.

The Company had no post-retirement plan assets as of September 30, 2023 and 2022. The Company’s investment objective for defined benefit retirement plan assets is to satisfy its current and future pension benefit obligations. The investment philosophy is to achieve this objective through diversification of the retirement plan assets with the goal of earning a suitable return with an appropriate level of risk while maintaining adequate liquidity to distribute benefit payments. The diversified asset allocation includes equity positions as well as fixed income investments. The increased volatility associated with equities is offset with higher expected returns, while long duration fixed income investments help dampen the volatility of the overall portfolio. Risk exposure is controlled by re-balancing the retirement plan assets back to target allocations, as needed. Investment firms managing retirement plan assets carry out investment policy within their stated guidelines. Investment performance is monitored against benchmark indices, which reflect the policy and target allocation of the retirement plan assets. Defined Contribution Plan |

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Share-Based Payments | Share-Based Payments As of September 30, 2023, the Company had three share-based compensation plans: the Amended and Restated 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”), the Second Amended and Restated 2009 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2009 Plan”) and the 2000 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2000 Plan”). The 2000 Plan was superseded by the 2009 Plan, which was then superseded by the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan. New awards granted after January 2018 are issued under the 2018 Plan. The 2018 Plan provides for the award of performance restricted stock, RSEs, or Share Options to purchase the Company’s common stock to directors, officers and employees of the Company. The maximum number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2018 Pla n is 17.9 , of which 4.6 were available for future awards as of September 30, 2023. Share options are granted at th e market price on the grant date and generally vest ratably over three years. These awards typically have a maximum term of ten years. Performance restricted stock and RSEs may also be granted. Option shares and prices, and restricted stock and RSEs, are adjusted in conjunction with stock splits and other recapitalizations, including our 2015 separation from Energizer, so that the holder is in the same economic position before and after these equity transactions. The Company uses the straight-line method of recognizing compensation cost. Total compensation costs charged against earnings before income taxes for the Company’s share-based compensation arrangements were $27.5, $23.9 and $27.3 for fiscal 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and were recorded in SG&A. The total income tax benefit recognized for share-based compensation arrangements was $6.6, $5.7 and $6.6, for fiscal 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Restricted stock issuance and shares issued for share option exercises u n der the Company’s share-based compensation programs are generally issued from treasury shares. Share Options The following table summarizes Share Option activity during fiscal 2023: Shares Weighted-Average Exercise Price Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term Aggregate Intrinsic Value Outstanding as of October 1, 2022 1.1 $ 54.05 Granted 0.1 $ 39.75 Outstanding as of September 30, 2023 1.2 $ 46.88 6.2 $ — Vested and unvested expected to vest as of September 30, 2023 1.2 $ 46.88 6.2 $ — Exercisable as of September 30, 2023 0.8 $ 57.75 An immaterial number of share options were exercised in fiscal 2023 and 2022. No share options were exercised in fiscal 2021. The Company estimates the grant-date fair value of share option awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected volatility is determined based on historical volatility. The Company utilizes the simplified method in estimating the share option life as the Company does not have sufficient historical share option experience to estimate the share option life. During fiscal 2023 and 2022, the Company grant ed non-qualified share option awards to certain executives and employees of 0.1 and 0.3, respectively, with a grant-date fair value of $2.2 and $4.6, respectively. The following table presents the Company’s weighted average fair value per option and the assumptions utilized in the Black-Scholes option pricing model: 2023 2022 Weighted-average fair value per share option $ 15.22 $ 14.25 Expected volatility 40.0 % 39.0 % Risk-free interest rate 3.85 % 1.33 % Expected share option life (in years) 6.0 6.1 Dividend yield 1.51 % 1.42 % As of September 30, 2023, there was an estimated $3.2 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to share option awards, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximat ely 1.5 years. Restricted Share Equivalents The following table summarizes RSE award activity during fiscal 2023: Shares Weighted-Average Non-vested at October 1, 2022 1.0 $ 38.09 Granted 0.5 40.17 Vested (0.5) 39.00 Canceled (0.1) 36.23 Non-vested at September 30, 2023 0.9 39.74 The estimated fair value of the award is determined using the closing share price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. As of September 30, 2023, there was an estimat ed $24.3 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to RSEs, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.3 years . T he weighted-average estimated fair value per RSE granted in fiscal 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $40.17, $42.49, and $35.16, respectively. The estimated fair value of RSEs vested in fiscal 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $20.2, $15.4, and $13.2, respectively. Performance Restricted Share Equivalents The following table summarizes PRSE award activity during fiscal 2023: Shares Weighted-Average Non-vested at October 1, 2022 0.5 $ 43.04 Granted 0.2 58.55 Vested (0.1) 62.09 Canceled (0.2) 42.63 Non-vested at September 30, 2023 0.4 60.56 As of September 30, 2023, there was an estimat ed $9.9 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to PRSEs, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.8 years. T he weighted-average estimated fair value per PRSE granted in fiscal 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $58.55, $56.53, and $29.25, respectively. The estimated fair value of PRSEs vested in fiscal 2023 was $62.09. For PRSE awards granted during fiscal 2020, the Company records estimated expense for performance-based grants based on target achievement of performance metrics for the three-year period for each respective program, unless evidence exists that achievement above or below target for the applicable performance metric is more likely to occur. The PRSE awards will vest with a value of 0% to 200% of the targeted award value based upon the achievement of performance metrics. The estimated fair value of the award is determined using the closing share price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. For PRSE awards granted during fiscal 2023, 2022 and 2021, awards will vest by comparing the Company’s TSR during a certain three year period to the respective TSRs of companies in a selected performance peer group. Based upon the Company’s ranking in its performance peer group, a recipient of the PRSE award may earn a total award ranging from 0% to 200% of the target award. The fair value of each PRSE was estimated on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation. The assumptions for PRSE awards during the years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are summarized in the following table. 2023 2022 Expected term (in years) 3.0 3.0 Expected stock price volatility 48.20 % 48.73 % Risk-free interest rate 4.14 % 0.85 % Fair value (per award granted) 58.55 65.90 |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Financial Instruments and Risk Management | Financial Instruments and Risk Management In the course of ordinary business, the Company enters into contractual arrangements (also referred to as derivatives) to reduce its exposure to foreign currency. The Company has master netting agreements with all of its counterparties that allow for the settlement of contracts in an asset position with contracts in a liability position in the event of default. The Company manages counterparty risk through the utilization of investment grade commercial banks, diversification of counterparties, and its counterparty netting arrangements. The section below outlines the types of derivatives that existed at September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, as well as the Company’s objectives and strategies for holding derivative instruments. Foreign Currency Risk A significant share of the Company’s sales is tied to currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reporting currency. As such, a weakening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can have a negative impact to reported earnings. Conversely, strengthening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can improve reported results. The primary currencies to which the Company is exposed include the euro, the Japanese yen, the British pound, the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar. Additionally, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries enter into internal and external transactions that create non-functional currency balance sheet positions at the foreign subsidiary level. These exposures are generally the result of intercompany purchases, intercompany loans and, to a lesser extent, external purchases, and are revalued in the foreign subsidiary’s local currency at the end of each period. Changes in the value of the non-functional currency balance sheet positions in relation to the foreign subsidiary’s local currency results in an exchange gain or loss recorded in Other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The primary currency to which the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are exposed is the U.S. dollar. Interest Rate Risk The Company has interest rate risk with respect to interest expense on variable rate debt. At September 30, 2023, the Company had $122.0 of variable rate debt outstanding, which consisted primarily of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility in the U.S. Other Risks Customer Concentration. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of accounts receivable. The Company generally does not require collateral from customers. The Company’s largest customer, Walmart Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, “Walmart”), accounted for approximately 19% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 2023. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated net sales. Purchases by Walmart included products from all of the Company’s segments. Additionally, in fiscal 2023, Target Corporation represented approximately 9% of consolidated net sales for the Sun and Skin Care segment and 10% of consolidated net sales for the Feminine Care segment, respectively. Product Concentration. Within the Wet Shave segment, the Company’s razor and blades represented 49%, 51% and 52% of consolidated net sales during fiscal 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and within the Sun and Skin Care segment, sun care products represented 20%,19%, and 16% of consolidated net sales during each of fiscal 2023, 2022 and 2021. Cash Flow Hedges At September 30, 2023, the Company maintained a cash flow hedging program related to foreign currency risk. These derivative instruments have a high correlation to the underlying exposure being hedged and have been deemed highly effective by the Company for accounting purposes in offsetting the associated risk. The Company entered into a series of forward currency contracts to hedge cash flow uncertainty associated with currency fluctuations. These transactions are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The Company had unrealized pre-tax gains of $4.4 and $11.3 at September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, on these forward currency contracts, which are accounted for as cash flow hedges included in AOCI. Assuming foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar remain at September 30, 2023 levels over the next 12 months, the majority of the pre-tax gain included in AOCI at September 30, 2023 is expected to be included in Other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. Contract maturities for these hedges extend into fiscal year 2025. At September 30, 2023, there were 64 open foreign currency contracts with a total notional value of $105.4. Derivatives not Designated as Hedges The Company has entered into foreign currency derivative contracts, which are not designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes to hedge balance sheet exposures and, thus, are not subject to significant market risk. The change in estimated fair value of the foreign currency contracts resulted in gains of $ 3.0 8.2 2.3 The following table provides estimated fair values of derivative instruments: Fair Value of (Liability) Asset (1) September 30, 2023 September 30, 2022 Derivatives designated as cash flow hedging relationships: Foreign currency contracts $ 4.4 $ 11.3 Derivatives not designated as cash flow hedging relationships: Foreign currency contracts $ 0.9 $ 2.0 (1) All derivative assets are presented in Other current assets or Other assets.

(2) All derivative liabilities are presented in Other current liabilities or Other liabilities. Fair Value Hierarchy Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified in one of the following three categories: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions or external inputs from inactive markets. Under the fair value accounting guidance hierarchy, an entity is required to maximize the use of quoted market prices and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, which are carried at fair value, that are measured on a recurring basis during the period, all of which are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy: As of September 30, 2023 2022 (Liabilities) Assets at estimated fair value: Deferred compensation $ (19.4) $ (21.8) Derivatives - foreign currency contracts 5.6 13.3 Net liabilities at estimated fair value $ (13.8) $ (8.5) At September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no Level 1 or Level 3 financial assets or liabilities, other than pension plan assets which contained certain assets classified as Level 1. Refer to Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the fair value hierarchy of the pension plan assets. At September 30, 2023 and 2022, the fair market value of fixed rate long-term debt was $1,028.6 and $945.9, respectively, compared to its carrying value of $1,250.0 in each period. The estimated fair value of the fixed-rate long-term debt is estimated using yields obtained from independent pricing sources for similar types of borrowing arrangements. There was no variable rate debt excluding revolving credit facilities as of September 30, 2023. The estimated fair values of long-term debt, excluding the Revolving Credit Facility has been determined based on Level 2 inputs. Due to the nature of cash and cash equivalents and short-term borrowings, including notes payable, carrying amounts on the balance sheets approximate fair value. Additionally, the carrying amount of the Revolving Credit Facility, which are classified as long-term debt on the balance sheet, approximate fair value due to the revolving nature of the balances. The estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents, short-term borrowings and the Revolving Credit Facility have been determined based on Level 2 inputs. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings During the year ended September 30, 2023, the Company settled a legal matter which resulted in a gain of $4.9 related to an intellectual property claim against a third party. This was included in SG&A in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The Company received payment for the intellectual property claim settlement in fiscal 2023. Additionally, during the year ended September 30, 2023, the Company received a favorable court ruling regarding an international VAT matter, which the plaintiff has no ability to appeal. As the Company had previously recorded an accrual for this matter, based on its best estimate of the facts and circumstances at that time, the result of the favorable court ruling was a release of the reserve established which resulted in a gain of $2.2. This was included in SG&A in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. During the year ended September 30, 2022, the Company settled certain legal matters which resulted in a gain of $7.5 related to intellectual property claims against a third party. This was included in SG&A in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The Company received payment for the settlement in fiscal 2022. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to a number of legal proceedings in various jurisdictions arising out of its operations during the ordinary course of business. Many of these legal matters are in preliminary stages and involve complex issues of law and fact and may proceed for protracted periods of time. The amount of liability, if any, from these proceedings cannot be determined with certainty. The Company reviews its legal proceedings and claims, regulatory reviews and inspections and other legal proceedings on an ongoing basis and follows appropriate accounting guidance when making accrual and disclosure decisions. The Company establishes accruals for those contingencies when the incurrence of a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated and discloses the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued if such disclosure is necessary for its financial statements to not be misleading. The Company does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable, but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated. Based upon present information, the Company believes that its liability, if any, arising from such pending legal proceedings, asserted legal claims, and known potential legal claims which are likely to be asserted, is not reasonably likely to be material to its financial position, results of operations or cash flows, when taking into account established accruals for estimated liabilities. Government Regulation and Environmental Matters The operations of the Company are subject to various federal, state, local, and foreign laws and regulations intended to protect the public health and environment. Contamination has been identified at certain of the Company’s current and former facilities, as well as third-party waste disposal sites, and the Company is conducting investigation and remediation activities in relation to such properties. In connection with certain sites, the Company has received notices from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, state agencies and private parties, that it has been identified as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”), and may be required to share in the cost of cleanup with respect to a number of federal “Superfund” sites. The Company may also be required to share in the cost of cleanup with respect to state-designated sites, and certain international locations, as well as any of its own properties. Accrued environmental costs at September 30, 2023 were $9.3 and were recorded in Other Current Liabilities and Other Liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.The amount of the Company’s ultimate liability in connection with those sites may depend on many factors, including the volume and toxicity of material contributed to the site, the number of other PRPs and their financial viability, and the remediation methods and technology to be used. Total environmental capital expenditures and operating expenses are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s total capital and operating expenditures, cash flows, earnings or competitive position. Current environmental spending estimates may be modified as a result of changes in the Company’s plans or its understanding of the underlying facts, changes in legal requirements, including any requirements related to global climate change, or other factors. Many European countries, as well as the European Union, have been very active in adopting and enforcing environmental regulations. As such, it is possible that new regulations may increase the risk and expense of doing business in such countries. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment and Geographical Data | Segment and Geographical Data Segment performance is evaluated based on segment profit, exclusive of general corporate expenses, share-based compensation costs, and certain costs deemed non-recurring in nature, including restructuring and related costs, acquisition and integration costs, stock keeping unit (“SKU”) rationalization, Sun Care reformulation, income from resolution of legal matters and other costs or income, pension settlement expense, value-added tax (“VAT”) settlements, cost of early debt retirement, other costs or income, the amortization of intangible assets, and the related tax effects of these items. Financial items, such as interest income and expense, are managed on a global basis at the corporate level. The exclusion of such charges from segment results reflects management’s view on how it evaluates segment performance. Amounts have been revised to reflect the correction of certain immaterial misstatements. Refer to Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for further discussion. The Company’s operating model includes some shared business functions across the segments, including product warehousing and distribution, transaction processing functions and, in most cases, a combined sales force and management teams.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of accounting | The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) under the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). |
Use of estimates | The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. |
Consolidation | All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. |
Comparability of Prior Year Financial Data, Policy | Revision of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company evaluated aged accrued expenditures related to goods received but not yet invoiced by certain of its vendors (“GRNI”). Based upon an assessment, including evaluating the expiry of the applicable statute of limitations of the accrued expenditures, the Company concluded that $8.5 of aged accrued GRNI originating in years 2014 through 2018 were no longer required to be reflected as accounts payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2023 and should have been reversed in prior fiscal years. The Company concluded that the misstatements were not material, either individually or in the aggregate, to its previously issued consolidated financial statements. To correct the immaterial misstatements, the Company has revised its previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2022, as well as for the year ended September 30, 2021. The Company has revised the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity for the periods ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 and Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2022 as well as the associated Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements to reflect the corrections of these immaterial misstatements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended September 30, 2023. Due to these GRNI misstatements, which originated prior to fiscal 2023, net income for the years ended September 30, 2022, and 2021 and the opening retained earnings balance as of October 1, 2021, were understated by $0.9, $0.8, and $5.7, respectively, with a corresponding overstatement of total liabilities. There were no changes to previously issued total cash flows generated from (used by) operating, investing, or financing activities for any of the impacted periods. Additionally, the Company will further present the revisions of its previously issued 2023 interim financial statements and relevant notes to the consolidated financial statements in connection with the future filings of its 2024 interim reporting on Form 10-Q for the periods ended December 31, 2023, March 31, 2024, and June 30, 2024. Refer to Note 19 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on the unaudited quarterly financial information. The following table reflects the revisions to the previously issued Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021: Fiscal Year 2022 2021 As Previously Reported Adjustment As Revised As Previously Reported Adjustment As Revised Cost of products sold $ 1,292.3 $ (1.1) $ 1,291.2 $ 1,137.2 $ (1.1) $ 1,136.1 Gross profit 879.4 1.1 880.5 950.1 1.1 951.2 Operating income 181.2 1.1 182.3 238.8 1.1 239.9 Earnings before income taxes 123.0 1.1 124.1 146.0 1.1 147.1 Income tax provision 24.4 0.2 24.6 29.0 0.3 29.3 Net earnings 98.6 0.9 99.5 117.0 0.8 117.8 Earnings per share: Basic net earnings per share $ 1.86 $ 0.01 $ 1.87 $ 2.15 $ 0.02 $ 2.17 Dilutive net earnings per share 1.84 0.01 1.85 2.12 0.01 2.13 Total comprehensive income 19.4 0.9 20.3 171.7 0.8 172.5 The following table reflects the revisions to the previously issued Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021: Fiscal Year 2022 2021 As Previously Reported Adjustment As Revised As Previously Reported Adjustment As Revised Net earnings $ 98.6 $ 0.9 $ 99.5 $ 117.0 $ 0.8 $ 117.8 Other, net (9.8) 0.2 (9.6) (2.8) 0.3 (2.5) Accounts payable 30.4 (1.1) 29.3 25.4 (1.1) 24.3 The following table reflects the revisions to the previously issued Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2022: As of September 30, 2022 As Previously Reported Adjustment As Revised Accounts payable $ 237.3 $ (8.5) $ 228.8 Total current liabilities 548.0 (8.5) 539.5 Other liabilities 173.6 1.1 174.7 Total liabilities 2,253.4 (7.4) 2,246.0 Retained earnings 931.7 7.4 939.1 Total shareholders’ equity 1,459.7 7.4 1,467.1 |
Summary of Significant Accoun_2
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Sep. 30, 2023 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Cash equivalents | Cash equivalents are considered to be highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. At September 30, 2023, the Company had $216.4 in available cash and cash equivalents, a significant portion of which was outside of the U.S. The Company has extensive operations outside of the U.S., including a significant manufacturing footprint. The Company manages its worldwide cash requirements by reviewing available funds among the many subsidiaries through which it conducts its business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. The repatriation of cash balances from certain of the Company’s subsidiaries could have adverse tax consequences or be subject to regulatory capital requirements; however, those balances are generally available without legal restrictions to fund ordinary business operations. |
Cash flow presentation | The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are prepared using the indirect method, which reconciles Net earnings to Net cash from operating activities. The reconciliation adjustments include the removal of timing differences between the occurrence of operating receipts and payments and their recognition in Net earnings. The adjustments also remove cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which are presented separately from operating activities. Cash flows from foreign currency transactions and operations are translated at an average exchange rate for the period. Cash flows from hedging activities are included in the same category as the items being hedged, which is primarily operating activities. Cash payments related to income taxes are classified as operating activities. |
Accounts receivable valuation | Trade receivables are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the trade receivables portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, specific allowances for known troubled accounts and other currently available information. Bad debt expense is included in Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. |
Inventories | Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value, with cost generally determined using average cost or the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. |
Capitalized software costs | Capitalized software costs are included in Property, plant and equipment, net. These costs are amortized using the straight-line method over periods of related benefit ranging from three |
Property, plant and equipment, net | Property, plant and equipment, net (“PP&E”) is stated at historical cost. PP&E acquired as part of a business combination is recorded at estimated fair value. Expenditures for new facilities and expenditures that substantially increase the useful life of property, including interest during construction, are capitalized and reported as Capital expenditures in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. When property is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and gains or losses on the disposition are reflected in Net earnings. Depreciation is generally provided on the straight-line basis by charges to earnings at rates based on estimated useful lives. Estimated useful lives range from two three Estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed and, when appropriate, changes are made and accounted for prospectively. When certain events or changes in operating conditions occur, asset lives may be adjusted and an impairment assessment may be performed on the recoverability of the carrying amounts. Leases The Company leases certain offices and manufacturing facilities, warehouses, employee vehicles and certain manufacturing related equipment. A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified PP&E over a contracted period in exchange for payment. The Company evaluates if an arrangement is a lease as of the effective date of the agreement. Certain leases include an option to either renew or terminate the lease. For purposes of calculating lease liabilities, these options are included within the lease term when it has become reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recorded based on the present value of minimum payments over the lease term at the effective date of the lease. Any costs in excess of the minimum payments are expensed as incurred as variable lease cost. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. All recorded leases are classified as operating leases and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has elected as an accounting policy not to separate non-lease components from lease components and, instead, account for these components as a single lease component. For leases that do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its secured incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available for leases, including the lease term and interest rate environment in the country in which the lease exists, to calculate the present value of the future lease payments. |
Goodwill and other intangible assets | Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are not amortized but are instead evaluated annually for impairment as part of the Company’s annual business planning cycle in the fourth fiscal quarter, or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. The annual test for impairment performed for goodwill can be qualitative or quantitative, taking into consideration certain factors surrounding the fair value of the goodwill including, level by which fair value exceeded carrying value in the prior valuation, as well as macroeconomic factors, industry conditions and actual results at the test date. The quantitative analysis to test for impairment will estimate the fair value of each reporting unit (Wet Shave, Sun Care, Skin Care and/or Feminine Care) using valuation models that incorporate assumptions and projections of expected future cash flows and operating plans. In determining the estimated fair value of the reporting units when performing a quantitative analysis, both the market approach and the income approach are considered in the valuation, and where appropriate, both methods will be used and weighted, unless appropriate market comparables are not available for a reporting unit. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit requires the use of significant judgment, estimates, and assumptions. While the Company believes that the estimates and assumptions underlying the valuation methodology are reasonable, these estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on whether an impairment charge is recognized and the magnitude of any such charge. The results of an impairment analysis are as of a point in time. There is no assurance that actual future earnings or cash flows of the reporting units will not vary significantly from these projections. The Company will monitor any changes to these assumptions and will evaluate the carrying value of goodwill as warranted during future periods. The key assumptions and estimates for the market and income approaches used to determine fair value of the reporting units included market data and market multiples (for the market approach), discount rates and terminal growth rates (for the income approach), as well as revenue growth rates and operating margins (for the income approach), which are based upon management’s strategic plan. The Company evaluates indefinite-lived intangible assets, which consist of trademarks and brand names used across the Company’s segments for impairment on an annual basis. Similar to goodwill, the impairment test can be qualitative or quantitative, taking into consideration certain factors surrounding the fair value of the brand names including, level by which fair value exceeded carrying value in the prior valuation, as well as macroeconomic factors, industry conditions and actual results at the test date. The quantitative test will determine the fair value using one of two income approaches: (i) the multi-period excess earnings method and (ii) the relief-from-royalty method, both of which require significant assumptions, including estimates regarding future revenue and operating margin growth, discount rates, and appropriate royalty rates. Revenue and operating margin growth assumptions are based on historical trends and management’s expectations for future growth by brand. The discount rates were based on a weighted-average cost of capital utilizing industry market data of similar companies and estimated returns on the assets utilized in the operations of the applicable reporting unit, including net working capital, fixed assets and intangible assets. The Company estimated royalty rates based on operating profits of the brand. |
Impairment of long-lived assets | The Company reviews long-lived assets, other than goodwill and other intangible assets, for impairment when events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the remaining useful life may warrant revision or that the carrying amount of the long-lived asset may not be fully recoverable. The Company performs an undiscounted cash flow analysis to determine if impairment exists for an asset or asset group. If impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on estimated fair value. Impairment losses on assets to be disposed of, if any, are based on the estimated proceeds to be received, less cost of disposal. |
Revenue recognition | Principal Revenue Streams and Significant Judgments Our principal revenue streams can be divided into: (i) sale of personal care products primarily through retailers in North America; (ii) sale of personal care products through a combination of retailers and distributors internationally; and (iii) production and sale of private brands products in North America and internationally that are made to customer specifications. Performance Obligations The Company’s revenue is generated from the sale of its products. Revenue is recognized when the customer obtains control of the goods, which occurs when the ability to use and obtain benefits from the goods are passed to the customer, most commonly upon the delivery of goods to the customer. Discounts are offered to customers for early payment and an estimate of discounts is recorded as a reduction of Net sales in the same period as the sale. The Company’s standard sales terms are final and returns or exchanges are not permitted with the exception of end of season returns for Sun Care products. Reserves are established and recorded in cases where the right of return exists for a particular sale. The Company assesses the goods promised in its customers’ purchase orders and identifies a performance obligation to transfer goods (or a bundle of goods) that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, the Company considers all the goods promised, whether explicitly stated or implied based on customary business practices. The Company’s purchase orders are short term in nature, lasting less than one year and contain a single delivery element. For a purchase order that has more than one performance obligation, the Company allocates the total consideration to each distinct performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. The Company does not exclude variable consideration in determining the remaining value of performance obligations. Significant Judgments The Company records sales at the time that control of goods pass to the customer. The terms of these sales vary but the following conditions are applicable to all sales: (i) the sales arrangement is evidenced by purchase orders submitted by customers; (ii) the selling price is fixed or determinable; (iii) title to the product has transferred; (iv) there is an obligation to pay at a specified date without any additional conditions or actions required by the Company; and (v) collectability is reasonably assured. Simultaneously with the sale, the Company reduces Net sales and Cost of products sold and reserves amounts on its Consolidated Balance Sheet for anticipated returns based upon an estimated return level in accordance with GAAP. The Company also allows for returns of other products under limited circumstances. Customers are required to pay for the Sun Care product purchased during the season under the required terms. Under certain circumstances, the Company allows customers to return Sun Care products that have not been sold by the end of the Sun Care season, which is normal practice in the Sun Care industry. The timing of returns of Sun Care products can vary in different regions based on climate and other factors. However, the majority of returns occur in the U.S. from September through January following the summer Sun Care season. The Company estimates the level of Sun Care returns as the Sun Care season progresses using a variety of inputs including historical experience, consumption trends during the Sun Care season, obsolescence factors including expiration dates and inventory positions at key retailers. The Company monitors shipment activity and inventory levels at key retailers during the season in an effort to more accurately estimate potential returns. This allows the Company to manage shipment activity to its customers, especially in the latter stages of the Sun Care season, to reduce the potential for returned product. The Company also allows for returns of other products under limited circumstances. Non-Sun Care returns are evaluated each period based on communications with customers and other issues known as of period end. The Company had a reserve for returns of $53.5 and $47.5 at September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In addition, the Company offers a variety of programs, such as consumer coupons and rebate programs, primarily to its retail customers, designed to promote sales of its products. Such programs require periodic payments and allowances based on estimated results of specific programs and are recorded as a reduction to Net sales. The Company accrues, at the time of sale, the estimated total payments and allowances associated with each transaction. Additionally, the Company offers programs directly to consumers to promote the sale of its products. Promotions which reduce the ultimate consumer sale price are recorded as a reduction of Net sales at the time the promotional offer is made using estimated redemption and participation levels. Taxes the Company collects on behalf of governmental authorities, which are generally included in the price to the customer, are also recorded as a reduction of Net sales. The Company continually assesses the adequacy of accruals for customer and consumer promotional program costs not yet paid. To the extent total program payments differ from estimates, adjustments may be necessary. Historically, these adjustments have not been material. Contract Balances The timing of revenue recognition is based on completion of performance obligations through the transfer of goods. Standard payment terms with customers require payment after goods have been delivered and risk of ownership has transferred to the customer. The Company has contract liabilities as a result of advanced payments received from certain customers before goods have been delivered and all performance obligations have been completed. Contract liabilities were $0.6 and $1.1 at September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and were classified within Other current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Substantially all of the amount deferred will be recognized within a year, with the significant majority to be captured within a quarter following deferral. Trade receivables are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in its receivables portfolio determined by historical experience, specific allowances for known troubled accounts, and other currently available information. |
Advertising and sales promotion costs | The Company advertises and promotes its products through national and regional media and expenses such activities as incurred. |
Share-based payments | The Company grants restricted share equivalents (“RSE”), which generally vest over two Non-qualified stock options (“Share Options”) are granted at the market price on the grant date and generally vest ratably over three years. The Company calculates the fair value of total share-based compensation for Share Options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which utilizes certain assumptions and estimates that have a material impact on the amount of total compensation cost recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the expected term, expected share price volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The original estimate of the grant date fair value is not subsequently revised unless the awards are modified. The Company has elected to recognize forfeiture of awards as they occur. |
Income taxes | The Company’s annual effective income tax rate is determined based on its pre-tax income, statutory tax rates and the tax impacts of items treated differently for tax purposes than for financial reporting purposes. Tax law requires that certain items be included in its federal tax return at different times than the items are reflected in the financial statements. Some of these differences are permanent, such as expenses that are not deductible in the Company’s tax return, and some differences are temporary, reversing over time, such as depreciation expense. These temporary differences create deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets generally represent the tax effect of items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in future years for which the Company has already recorded the tax benefit in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent tax expense recognized in the Company’s financial statements for which payment has been deferred, the tax effect of expenditures for which a deduction has already been taken in its tax return but has not yet been recognized in its financial statements or assets recorded at estimated fair value in business combinations for which there was no corresponding tax basis adjustment. The Company estimates income taxes and the effective income tax rate in each jurisdiction that it operates. This involves estimating taxable earnings, specific taxable and deductible items, the likelihood of generating sufficient future taxable income to utilize deferred tax assets, the portion of the income of foreign subsidiaries that is expected to be remitted to the U.S. and be taxable and possible exposures related to future tax audits. Deferred tax assets are evaluated on a subsidiary by subsidiary basis to ensure that the asset will be realized. Valuation allowances are established when the realization is not deemed to be more likely than not. Future performance is monitored, and when objectively measurable operating trends change, adjustments are made to the valuation allowances accordingly. To the extent the estimates described above change, adjustments to income taxes are made in the period in which the estimate is changed. The Company operates in multiple jurisdictions with complex tax and regulatory environments, which are subject to differing interpretations by the taxpayer and the taxing authorities. At times, the Company may take positions that management believes are supportable but are potentially subject to successful challenges by the appropriate taxing authority. The Company evaluates its tax positions and establishes liabilities in accordance with guidance governing accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The Company reviews these tax uncertainties in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the progress of tax audits, and adjusts them accordingly. |
Estimated fair values of financial instruments | Certain financial instruments are required to be recorded at estimated fair value. Changes in assumptions or estimation methods could affect the fair value estimates; however, the Company does not believe any such changes would have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Other financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents and short-term borrowings, including notes payable, are recorded at cost, which approximates estimated fair value. |
Recently issued accounting pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-04, " Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations ". This guidance requires annual and interim disclosures for entities that use supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services. These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the amendment on roll forward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company is assessing the impact, if any, of this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements. |
Foreign currency translation | Financial statements of foreign operations where the local currency is the functional currency are translated using end-of-period exchange rates for assets and liabilities, and average exchange rates during the period for results of operations. Related translation adjustments are reported as a component within accumulated other comprehensive loss in the shareholders’ equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets, except as noted below. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in Net earnings. Foreign currency (losses) gains of $(1.7), $7.7 and $0.5 during fiscal 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were included within Other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The Company uses foreign exchange (“FX”) instruments to reduce the risk of FX transactions as described below and in Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. |
Financial instruments and derivative securities | The Company uses financial instruments, from time to time, in the management of foreign currency, interest rate, and other risks that are inherent to its business operations. Such instruments are not held or issued for trading purposes. FX instruments, including forward currency contracts, are used primarily to reduce cash transaction exposures and, to a lesser extent, to manage other translation exposures. FX instruments are selected based on their risk reduction attributes, costs, and related market conditions. The Company has designated certain foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes as of September 30, 2023. At September 30, 2023, the Company had $122.0 of variable rate debt outstanding. In the past the Company has used interest rate swaps to hedge the risk of variable rate debt. As of September 30, 2023, the Company did not have any outstanding interest rate swap agreements. For further discussion, see Note 11 and Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. |
