Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. Reports Fiscal 2012 Second Quarter Sales Increase of 34.8%; Reported Diluted EPS of $0.26 vs. $0.22

Irvington, NY, November 9, 2011-Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. (NYSE-PBH) today announced results for the fiscal 2012 second quarter ended September 30, 2011, including net revenues of $105.5 million, an increase of 34.8% over the prior year's comparable quarter of $78.3 million. Net revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2012 were $200.8 million, an increase of 34.3% over the prior year's comparable period of $149.5 million. This growth is largely driven by the fiscal 2011 acquisitions of Blacksmith Brands and Dramamine®, which were not included in either of the prior year's comparable periods. Net revenues for the Company's legacy core Over-The-Counter (OTC) brands were 4.1% and 7.2% higher than the prior year's comparable quarter and six month periods, respectively.

Operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $29.4 million, 23.4% higher than the prior year's comparable quarter of $23.8 million. Operating income for the first six months of fiscal 2012 was $56.6 million, 27.3% higher than the prior year's comparable period of $44.5 million. These increases include the impact of the acquisitions completed in fiscal 2011.

Income from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $12.9 million, 13.5% higher than the prior year's comparable quarter of $11.4 million. Income from continuing operations for the first six months of fiscal 2012 was $27.7 million, 34.4% higher than the prior year's comparable period of $20.6 million. The current fiscal six month period included the one-time net gain associated with a legal settlement and other one-time costs totaling approximately $2.9 million, or $0.06 per diluted share. The prior fiscal six month period included the impact of costs associated with the extinguishment of debt totaling approximately $0.2 million. Excluding the impact of these one-time amounts from each period, income from continuing operations would have increased by approximately $4.0 million, or 19.2%.

Reported net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $12.9 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, 17.5% higher than the prior year's comparable quarter of $11.0 million, or $0.22 per diluted share. The prior year's second quarter net income included a loss from discontinued operations of $0.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. Reported net income for the first six months of fiscal 2012 was $27.7 million, or 34.4% higher than the prior year's comparable period

of $20.6 million. The current year's six month period includes the one-time net gain from the legal settlement mentioned above totaling approximately $2.9 million, or $0.06 per diluted share. The prior year's six month period included income from discontinued operations and costs associated with the extinguishment of debt totaling approximately $0.2 million, or less than $0.01 per diluted share. Excluding these one-time amounts in each of the respective periods, earnings per diluted share would have been $0.49 for the first six months of fiscal 2012 compared to $0.42 in the prior year's six month period, an increase of 16.7%.

Commentary

Matthew M. Mannelly, CEO, commented, “We are pleased with our solid performance this quarter, which reflects overall share gains in many of our categories. We continue to focus our marketing support on building our core OTC brands and it is consistently yielding top line growth as well as increased bottom line profitability. To drive growth this season, several new line extensions of our brands in the cough/cold category have been introduced, including Luden's® Orange Vitamin C Supplement, Chloraseptic® Warming Lozenges, and Little Fevers® Mixed Berry and Grape flavors. Consistent with the last fiscal year, we plan to increase our A&P support during the cough/cold season to drive brand revenues and build the long-term health of our nine core OTC brands."

"We are pleased with our progress, however, we remain cautiously optimistic for the balance of the year given the challenging economic and retail environment, and last year's high incident cough/cold levels, which could create a challenging year-over-year comparison. However, our consistently strong free cash flow and our healthy balance sheet position us well for this economic environment and for future growth,” he said.

Results by Segment

OTC Healthcare

Net revenues for the OTC Healthcare segment in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 were $79.2 million, or 55.7% higher than the prior year second quarter of $50.8 million. The revenue increase in the OTC Healthcare segment was driven primarily by sales of Clear Eyes®, Efferdent®/Effergrip®, PediaCare®, Luden's® and Dramamine®. In the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the five legacy core OTC brands increased 4.1% compared to the same period in the prior year and represents the fifth consecutive quarter of organic revenue increases for the Company's five legacy core OTC brands.

Net revenues for the OTC Healthcare segment in the first six month period of fiscal 2012 were $150.4 million, or 57.3% higher than the prior year's comparable period of $95.6 million. The revenue increase in the OTC Healthcare segment was driven primarily by sales of Little Remedies®, Efferdent®/Effergrip®, PediaCare®, Luden's®, Dramamine®, and The Doctor's®.

Household Cleaning

Net revenues for the Household Cleaning segment were $26.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2012, 3.9% lower than the prior year's comparable quarter of $27.5 million. The improvement in the rate of decline is a result of promotional programs for Spic and Span® and Chore Boy®, as well as the distribution gains for Comet Classic®. This represents the strongest improvement in net revenues for this segment in six quarters. Net revenues for the Household Cleaning segment were $50.5 million for the first six months of fiscal 2012, 6.5% lower than the prior year's comparable six month period of $54.0 million.

Free Cash Flow and Debt Reduction

Free cash flow is a "non-GAAP financial measure" and is presented here because management believes it is a commonly used measure of liquidity, indicative of cash available for debt repayment and acquisitions. Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow is defined and reconciled to GAAP Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities in the section entitled, “About Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below. The Company's free cash flow for the second fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2011 was $17.8 million, a decrease of $4.2 million over the prior year's comparable quarter free cash flow of $22.0 million. The Company's free cash flow for the first six months of fiscal 2012 was $33.2 million, a decrease of $9.4 million over the prior year comparable six month period's free cash flow of $42.6 million. The decrease in free cash flow is primarily due to higher accounts receivable and inventory levels due to increased sales and higher incentive compensation payments in the current year period due to increased company performance in fiscal 2011.

Total indebtedness at September 30, 2011 was $452.0 million, reflecting debt repayments of $40.0 million in the first six months of the current fiscal year. At September 30, 2011, we had $40 million available for borrowing under our credit facilities and $8.0 million of cash on hand.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We define EBITDA as earnings before interest expense (income), income taxes, depreciation and amortization and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense (income), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain on settlement and certain other one-time legal and professional fees. We define Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income as Net Income before gain on settlement, certain other one-time legal and professional fees, income from discontinued operations, loss on extinguishment of debt, the applicable tax impacts associated with these items and the tax impacts of state tax rate adjustments and other non-deductible items. We define Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less cash paid for capital expenditures. EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income and Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

We are presenting Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income and Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow because they provide an additional way to view our operations, when considered with both our GAAP results and the reconciliation to net income and net cash provided by operating activities, respectively, which we believe provide a more complete understanding of our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income and Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow are presented solely as a supplemental disclosure because: (i) we believe it is a useful tool for investors to assess the operating performance of the business without the effect of these items; (ii) we believe that investors will find this data useful in assessing our ability to service or incur indebtedness; and (iii) we use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income internally to evaluate the performance of our personnel and also as a benchmark to evaluate our operating performance or compare our performance to that of our competitors. The use of EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow has limitations and you should not consider these measures in isolation from or as an alternative to GAAP measures such as operating income, income from continuing operations, net income, and net cash flow provided by operating activities, or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of profitability or liquidity.

The following tables set forth the reconciliation of Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income and Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures, to GAAP net income and GAAP net cash provided by operating activities, respectively, our most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.
