PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
OVERVIEW OF BUSINESS
We were founded in 1846 and incorporated in Delaware in 1925. We develop, manufacture and market a
broad range of consumer household and personal care products and specialty products focused on animal and
food production, chemicals and cleaners. Our well-recognized brands include ARM & HAMMER® baking soda,
cat litter, laundry detergent, carpet deodorizer and other baking soda-based products; OXICLEAN® stain
removers, cleaning solutions, laundry detergents and bleach alternatives; VITAFUSION® and L’IL CRITTERS®
gummy dietary supplements for adults and children, respectively; BATISTE® dry shampoo; WATERPIK® water
flossers and showerheads; THERABREATH® oral care products; HERO® acne treatment products; TROJAN®
condoms, lubricants and vibrators; SPINBRUSH® battery-operated toothbrushes; FIRST RESPONSE® home
pregnancy and ovulation test kits; NAIR® depilatories; ORAJEL® oral analgesic; XTRA® laundry detergent; and
ZICAM® cold shortening and relief products. Seven of those brands are designated as “power brands” because
they compete in large categories, and we believe they have the potential for significant global expansion. Those
seven brands are ARM & HAMMER®; OXICLEAN®; VITAFUSION® and L’IL CRITTERS®; BATISTE®;
WATERPIK®; THERABREATH®; and HERO® and represent approximately 70% of our net sales and profits.
We sell our consumer products under a variety of brands through a broad distribution platform that includes
supermarkets, mass merchandisers, wholesale clubs, drugstores, convenience stores, home stores, dollar and
other discount stores, pet and other specialty stores and websites and other e-commerce channels, all of which
sell our products to consumers. We sell our specialty products to industrial customers, livestock producers and
through distributors.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT SEGMENTS AND PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS
As discussed in more detail below, we operate in three principal segments: Consumer Domestic, Consumer
International, and our Specialty Products Division (“SPD”). Refer to Note 17 to the consolidated financial
statements included in this Annual Report and the discussion in “Item 7: Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for information concerning the results of each of our
segments.
All domestic brand “rankings” contained in this Annual Report are based on dollar share rankings from
Information Resources, Inc. (“IRI”) Total US – Multi Outlet (“MULO”) for the period ending December 29,
2024. Foreign brand “rankings” are derived from several sources.
Recent Acquisitions
On June 3, 2024, the Company acquired substantially all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital
stock of Graphico, Inc. (“Graphico”), a Japan-based distributor focused on consumer goods primarily in the
Japanese market (the “Graphico Acquisition”). The Company paid $19.9 million, net of cash acquired, at closing.
The Company acquired the remaining minority shares for approximately $2.0 million in July 2024.
Consumer Domestic
Our founders first marketed sodium bicarbonate, otherwise known as baking soda, in 1846 for use in home
baking. Today, this product has a wide variety of uses in the home, including as a refrigerator and freezer
deodorizer, scratch-free cleaner and deodorizer for kitchen surfaces and cooking appliances, bath additive,
dentifrice, cat litter deodorizer and swimming pool pH stabilizer. We specialize in baking soda-based products,
as well as other products which use the same raw materials or technology and which are sold across multiple
1

consumer and professional use categories. Our Consumer Domestic segment includes each of our seven power
brands, as well as other well-known brands and household and personal care products. We divide the Consumer
Domestic segment into household and personal care product groups.
Household Products
In 2024, household products constituted approximately 55% of our Consumer Domestic sales and
approximately 42% of our consolidated net sales.
Our primary household products include laundry detergents marketed under the ARM & HAMMER,
OXICLEAN and XTRA brands, fabric softener sheets marketed under the ARM & HAMMER brand, cat litter
under our ARM & HAMMER brand, and household cleaning products under the CLEAN SHOWER®,
ORANGE GLO®, and OXICLEAN brands. Our laundry detergents constitute our largest consumer business,
measured by net sales.
ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda remains the number one leading brand of baking soda in terms of
consumer recognition of the brand name and reputation for quality and value. The cleaning and deodorizing
properties of baking soda have led to the development of numerous baking soda-based household products. For
example, we market ARM & HAMMER FRIDGE FRESH®, a refrigerator deodorizer equipped with a baking
soda filter to help keep food tasting fresher, and ARM & HAMMER Carpet Deodorizer.
Personal Care Products
In 2024, personal care products constituted approximately 45% of our Consumer Domestic sales and
approximately 35% of our consolidated net sales.
Our personal care business was founded on the unique strengths of our ARM & HAMMER trademark and
baking soda technology. We have expanded our personal care business through the acquisition of antiperspirants,
oral care products, including mouthwash, depilatories, reproductive health products, oral analgesics, nasal saline
moisturizers, cold shortening and relief, acne treatment, and dietary supplements under a variety of other leading
brand names.
ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda, when used as a dentifrice, helps whiten and polish teeth, removes plaque
and leaves the mouth feeling fresh and clean. These properties led to the development of a complete line of
sodium bicarbonate-based dentifrice products that are marketed and sold nationally primarily under the ARM &
HAMMER® brand name. Our other personal care products include antiperspirants and deodorants under the
ARRID® and ARM & HAMMER® brands, battery-operated toothbrushes under the SPINBRUSH® brand,
condoms under the TROJAN® brand (the number one condom brand in the U.S.), water flossers and
showerheads under the WATERPIK® brand (the number one water flosser brand in the U.S.), home pregnancy
test kits under the FIRST RESPONSE® brand (the number two pregnancy test kit brand in the U.S.), hair-
removal products under the NAIR® brand (the number one depilatory in the U.S.), oral analgesics and oral care
products under the ORAJEL® brand (the number one oral care pain relief in the U.S.), children’s gummy dietary
supplements under the L’IL CRITTERS® brand and adult gummy dietary supplements under the VITAFUSION®
brand (the number three gummy supplement brand in the U.S.), cold shortening and relief products under the
ZICAM® brand (the number one cold shortening brand in the U.S. ), a growing number of dry shampoo products
under the BATISTE® brand (the world’s number one dry shampoo brand), VIVISCAL® (the number two leading
supplement for thinning hair in the U.S), TOPPIK® hair fiber brands (the number one leading brand of hair fiber
cosmetics for thinning hair in the U.S.), oral care products under the THERABREATH® brand (the number one
alcohol free mouthwash in the U.S.), nasal saline moisturizers and solutions under the SIMPLY SALINE® brand,
and the HERO® acne treatment products brands (the number one acne and acne patch brand in the U.S.).

Consumer International
Our Consumer International segment markets a variety of personal care, household and over-the-counter
products in international subsidiary markets, including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico,
China and the United Kingdom. We also export to over 130 markets around the world, including China and
Korea, through our global markets group (the “Global Markets Group” or “GMG”) using a broad network of
third-party distributors.
Total Consumer International net sales represented approximately 18% of our consolidated net sales in
2024. Net sales of Consumer International originating in Europe, Canada, Australia and Mexico accounted for
30%, 24%, 7% and 8%, respectively, of our 2024 international net sales in this segment. No product line
accounts for more than 20% of our total international net sales.
Some of our U.S. power brands such as ARM & HAMMER, BATISTE, HERO, THERABREATH,
OXICLEAN, VITAFUSION and L’IL CRITTERS, and WATERPIK are distributed in many of our international
markets. In addition, we also export unique brands such as STERIMAR® and FEMFRESH® out of the United
Kingdom as well as our FINISHING TOUCH FLAWLESS brand, to many countries around the world.
We also market the CURASH® line of babycare products in Australia, and GRAVOL® anti-nauseant and
RUB-A535 topical analgesic in Canada and other international markets. We sell ANUSOL® hemorrhoid
medications out of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and in other international markets. We also sell
WATERPIK water flossers and showerheads in Australia, Canada, Germany, France, the United Kingdom,
Mexico and in other international markets.
Specialty Products Division
Our SPD segment focuses on sales to businesses and participates in three product areas: Animal Nutrition,
Specialty Chemicals and Commercial & Professional, and accounted for approximately 5% of our consolidated
net sales in 2024.
Animal Nutrition Products
Since the ARM & HAMMER Animal Nutrition business began in 1972, with its launch of ARM &
HAMMER baking soda as a feed additive to help dairy cows produce more milk, we have built a leading
portfolio of nutritional supplements designed to help improve the health and productivity of dairy cows. In
addition, we market a line of high-quality protein and amino acid products, including BIO-CHLOR® and
FERMENTEN®, which are designed to help reduce health issues associated with calving, as well as provide
needed protein to ensure proper growth and milk production. During the first quarter of 2024, we exited the
MEGALAC supplement portion of our Animal Nutrition business. Net sales of the MEGALAC business for the
years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $7.6 million and $38.1 million, respectively.
Over the last several years, we have expanded our product offerings to include unique prebiotics and
probiotics. CELMANAX® Refined Functional Carbohydrate is a yeast-based prebiotic that helps ensure a well-
functioning gastrointestinal track in dairy cows, beef cattle, poultry and other livestock. CERTILLUS® is a
family of probiotics products used in the poultry, dairy, beef and swine industries. During the second quarter of
2024, we sold our Passport food safety business, Passport Food Safety Solutions, Inc. Net sales of the Passport
business for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $6.4 million and $13.0 million, respectively.
Specialty Chemicals
Our specialty chemicals business primarily encompasses the manufacture, marketing and sale of sodium
bicarbonate in a range of grades and granulations for use in industrial markets. In industrial markets, sodium
3

bicarbonate is used by other manufacturing companies as a leavening agent for commercial baked goods, as an
antacid in pharmaceuticals, as a carbon dioxide release agent in fire extinguishers, as an alkaline agent in
swimming pool chemicals, and as a buffer in kidney dialysis.
We and Occidental Chemical Corporation are equal partners in a joint venture, Armand Products Company,
which manufactures and markets potassium carbonate and potassium bicarbonate for sale in domestic and
international markets. The potassium-based products are used in a wide variety of applications, including
agricultural products, specialty glass and ceramics, and potassium silicates. Armand also manufactures a
potassium carbonate-based animal feed additive for sale by us in the dairy industry, described above under
“Animal and Food Production Products.” Armand’s results are included in our Corporate segment.
Commercial & Professional
We also provide a line of cleaning and deodorizing products for use in commercial and industrial
applications such as office buildings, hotels, restaurants and other facilities.
We and Safety-Kleen Systems, Inc. (“Safety-Kleen”) were equal partners in a joint venture,
ARMAKLEEN®, which has built a specialty cleaning products business based on our technology and Safety-
Kleen’s sales and distribution organization. In October 2024, we sold our 50% interest in The ArmaKleen
Company to Safety-Kleen. The transaction was not material to the Company’s results of operations or cash
flows.
COMPETITION
We compete in the household and personal care consumer product categories, which are highly innovative
categories, characterized by a continuous flow of new products and line extensions, and require significant
advertising and promotion. We compete in these categories primarily on the basis of product innovation and
performance, brand recognition, price, value and other consumer benefits. Consumer products, particularly
laundry and dietary supplements, are subject to significant price competition. As a result, we, from time to time,
may need to reduce the prices for some of our products to respond to competitive and customer pressures and to
maintain market share. Product introductions typically involve heavy marketing and trade spending in the year of
launch, and we usually are not able to determine whether the new products and line extensions will be successful
until a period of time has elapsed following the introduction of the new products or the extension of the product
line.
Because of the competitive retail environment, we face pricing pressure from our retail customers and
customers selling through other channels, particularly high-volume retail customers including, internet-based
retailers, who have increasingly sought to obtain pricing concessions or better trade terms that could reduce our
margins. Furthermore, if we are unable to maintain price or trade terms acceptable to our customers, they could
increase product purchases from competitors and reduce purchases from us, which would harm our sales and
profitability.
Our competitors in the Consumer Domestic and Consumer International segments include, among others,
Procter & Gamble Company (“P&G”), The Clorox Company, Colgate-Palmolive Company, S.C. Johnson & Son,
Inc., Nestle Purina PetCare Company and Nestle Health Science, Haleon plc, Henkel, Reckitt Benckiser Group
plc, Kenvue Inc., Pfizer Inc., Bayer AG, NBTY, Inc., Koninklijke Philips N.V., Unilever PLC, Sanofi,
Pharmavite LLC, Edgewell Personal Care, Panoxyl, Starface and Peach & Lily. Many of these companies have
greater financial resources than we do and have the capacity to outspend us in their attempts to gain market share.
In addition, the growing number of sales channels and business models, such as niche brands, internet-only
brands and retailer co-developed and owned brands, have increased competition in certain product categories,
particularly within personal care, specialty hair and skin care and dietary supplements, from less well capitalized
competitors.
4

Competition within our animal nutrition and our specialty chemicals product lines is intense. The specialty
chemicals business operates in a competitive environment influenced by capacity utilization, customers’ leverage
and the impact of raw material and energy costs. Product introductions typically involve introductory educational
costs in the year of launch, and we usually are not able to determine whether new products and line extensions
will be successful until a period of time has elapsed following the introduction of new products or the extension
of the product lines. Our key competitors with respect to our SPD segment are Cargill Incorporated, Lallemand
Inc., Solvay Chemicals, Inc., Genesis Alkali and Natural Soda, Inc. For additional discussion of the competitive
environment in which we conduct our business, see Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”
DISTRIBUTION OF OUR PRODUCTS
Our Consumer Domestic and Consumer International segments products are marketed primarily through a
broad distribution platform that includes supermarkets, mass merchandisers, wholesale clubs, drugstores,
convenience stores, home stores, dollar and other discount stores, pet and other specialty stores, and websites and
other e-commerce channels, all of which sell our products to consumers. The Consumer Domestic Segment
employs a sales force based regionally throughout the U.S. and utilizes the services of independent brokers, who
represent our products in the food, mass, pet, dollar, club, and numerous other classes of trade. Our Consumer
International segment conducts business through subsidiaries and global export markets. Our subsidiaries employ
local sales and marketing teams that manage the retailer and trade relationships while export sales and marketing
professionals also manage an extensive distributor network in our global export markets. Our products are stored
in our plants and third-party owned warehouses and are either delivered by independent trucking companies or
picked up by customers at our facilities.
SPD markets sodium bicarbonate and other chemicals to industrial and agricultural customers primarily
throughout the U.S. and Canada. Distribution is accomplished through a dedicated sales force supplemented by
manufacturers’ representatives and independent distributors. Our products in this segment are stored in our plants
and public warehouses and are either delivered by independent trucking companies or picked up by customers at
our facilities.
SEASONALITY
Our business is generally not seasonal, although the Consumer Domestic and Consumer International
segments are affected by sales of SPINBRUSH battery-operated toothbrushes and WATERPIK water flossers
(which typically are higher during the fall, in advance of the holiday season), sales of NAIR depilatories and
waxes (which typically are higher in the spring and summer months), sales of VITAFUSION and L’IL
CRITTERS dietary supplements and ZICAM cold shortening and relief products (which typically are slightly
higher in the fourth quarter of each year, in advance of the cold and flu season and renewed commitments to
health). In SPD, several of our Animal Nutrition products experience higher demand in warmer weather months
creating higher seasonal demand in the second and third quarters of the year.
RAW MATERIALS AND SOURCES OF SUPPLY
We manufacture sodium bicarbonate for our consumer and specialty products businesses at our plants
located at Green River, Wyoming and Old Fort, Ohio. The primary source of soda ash, a basic raw material used
in the production of sodium bicarbonate, is the mineral trona, which is found in abundance in southwestern
Wyoming near our Green River plant. We have adequate trona reserves under mineral leases to support our
sodium bicarbonate requirements for the foreseeable future.
We are a party to a partnership agreement with Tata Chemicals (Soda Ash) Partners, which mines and
processes trona reserves in Wyoming. We fulfill a substantial amount of our soda ash requirements through the
partnership and related supply and services agreements, enabling us to achieve some of the economies of an
integrated business capable of producing sodium bicarbonate and related products from the basic raw material.
5

The partnership agreement and other supply agreements between Tata Chemicals (Soda Ash) Partners and us are
terminable upon two years notice by either of us. We believe that sufficient alternative sources of soda ash
supply are available.
We believe that ample sources of raw materials are available for all our other major products and we have
increased qualified dual sources of materials to approximately 60% of our total spend on direct materials as part
of our resilient supply focus. Alternative sources of supply are available in case of the disruption or termination
of the supply agreements.
The cost of raw materials, including surfactants, diesel fuel and oil-based raw and packaging materials used
primarily in our consumer businesses, increased modestly in 2024 relative to 2023. Increases in the prices of
certain raw materials could materially impact our costs and financial results if we are unable to pass such costs
along in the form of price increases to our customers.
We utilize the services of third party contract manufacturers around the world for certain products.
PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
Our trademarks appear in upper case letters throughout this Annual Report. The majority of our trademarks
are registered with either the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or with the trademark offices of many foreign
countries. The ARM & HAMMER trademark has been used by us since 1867 and is important to the successful
operation of our business. Our products are sold under many other valuable trademarks held by us, including
TROJAN, NAIR, ORAJEL, WATERPIK, FIRST RESPONSE, XTRA, OXICLEAN, SPINBRUSH, BATISTE,
SIMPLY SALINE, VITAFUSION, L’IL CRITTERS, ZICAM, THERABREATH and HERO. Our portfolio of
trademarks represents substantial value in the businesses using the trademarks.
U.S. patents are currently granted for a term of 20 years from the date the patent application is filed.
Although we actively seek and maintain a number of patents, no single patent is considered significant to the
business as a whole.
CUSTOMERS AND ORDER BACKLOG
In the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, net sales to our largest customer, Walmart Inc. and
its affiliates (“Walmart”), were 23%, 23% and 24% respectively, of our consolidated net sales. No other
customer accounted for 10% or more of our consolidated net sales in the three-year period. The time between
receipt of orders and shipment is generally short, and as a result, backlog is not significant.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
General
All of our products are subject to regulation by one or more U.S. agencies, including the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration (“FDA”), the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), the Federal Trade Commission
(“FTC”), the Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”), the Federal Communications Commission
(“FCC”), as well as foreign agencies such as the European Commission, Health Canada, the Australia
Therapeutic Goods Administration, the Mexico Federal Commission for Protection Against Health Risks
(COFEPRIS), the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, the Chinese National Medical
Products Administration and others.
FDA regulations govern a variety of matters relating to our products, such as product development,
manufacturing, premarket clearance or approval, labeling, distribution and post-market surveillance including
complaint vigilance. The regulations adopted and standards imposed by the FDA and similar foreign agencies
6

evolve over time and can require us to make changes in our manufacturing processes and quality systems to
remain in compliance. These agencies periodically inspect manufacturing and other facilities. To maintain
certification of our quality system and certain of the technical files of our products, we must monitor and adapt to
changes to applicable standards. These changes may impose burdensome new requirements that require
significant investment or rework. If we fail to comply with applicable regulations and standards, we may be
subject to sanctions, including fines and penalties, the recall of products and cessation of manufacturing and/or
distribution.
In addition, we sell products that are subject to regulation under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and
Rodenticide Act and the Toxic Substances Control Act, which are administered by the EPA. Similar laws exist in
other markets and may apply to our products.
We are also subject to regulation by the FTC and its counterparts in other jurisdictions in connection with
the content and truthfulness of our labeling, advertising, promotion, trade practices and other matters. The FTC
and foreign agencies have instituted numerous enforcement actions against companies for failure to adequately
substantiate claims made in advertising or for the use of otherwise false or misleading advertising claims and
practices. These enforcement actions have resulted in consent decrees and the payment of civil penalties and/or
restitution by the companies involved. Such actions can result in substantial financial penalties and significantly
restrict the marketing of our products.
The CPSC and consumer protection agencies around the world have jurisdiction over consumer products,
regulate their safety and have authority over recalls. The CPSC administers the Poison Prevention Packaging Act
and has issued regulations requiring special child resistant packaging for certain products, including
pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, and dietary substances, containing certain ingredients (e.g., iron). The
CPSC and similar foreign agencies also develop and enforce mandatory product safety standards to address
trending safety concerns, such as the use of button cell batteries or the presence of toxic chemicals in consumer
products.
The FCC regulates interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable
in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. territories. An independent U.S. government agency overseen
by Congress, the Commission is the federal agency responsible for implementing and enforcing America’s
communications law and regulations. The FCC administers the Communications Act of 1934, specifically in
Title 47, Section 301. This section grants the FCC the power to regulate and oversee the use of the
electromagnetic spectrum, including electrical products that generate energy or radiofrequency. Our electrical
products, such as WaterPik flossers, Flawless hair removers, Spinbrush powered toothbrushes and Trojan
vibrators, are also subject to the Radiation Control provisions of the federal FDCA. This law, administered by the
FDA, governs products that emit radiation, including medical devices as well as radiation-emitting electronic
products.
Our relationship with certain union employees is regulated by various agencies of the countries, states,
provinces and other localities in which we sell our products.
Medical Device Clearance and Approval
To be commercially distributed in the United States, a medical device must, unless exempt, receive
clearance or approval from the FDA pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FDCA”). For lower
risk class II devices, we must generally submit a premarket notification requesting clearance for commercial
distribution known as a “510(k)” clearance. Our condoms, lubricants, STERIMAR nasal congestion relief, home
pregnancy test kits and WATERPIK professional dental products are regulated as class II devices. Some other
low risk devices, including SPINBRUSH and other battery powered toothbrushes, therapeutic shower massagers,
nasal congestion relief and wound wash, wrist supports, WATERPIK water flossers and HERO pimple patches
are in class I or are unclassified and are generally exempted from the 510(k) requirements. To obtain 510(k)
7

clearance, a device must be determined to be substantially equivalent in intended use and in safety and
effectiveness to a benchmark device, or “predicate” that is already legally in commercial distribution. Any
modification to a 510(k) cleared device that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would
constitute a change in its intended use, generally requires a new 510(k) clearance. We may determine that a new
510(k) clearance is not required, but if the FDA disagrees, it may retroactively require a 510(k) clearance and
may require us to cease marketing or recall the modified device until 510(k) clearance is obtained.
In many countries outside the United States, to distribute a medical device lawfully, we must demonstrate
conformity to local or regional standards for quality, safety and performance. For class II medical devices, we
must obtain either government approval or certification from an accredited and approved Notified Body (“NB”)
that also performs periodic planned and surprise audits of our files and our quality system. These audits are
shared in some cases, specifically among regulators in the U.S., Canada, Australia, Brazil, and Japan.
Modification to a certified device generally requires government or NB review and approval prior to
implementation of the change. Additionally, all safety incidents reported to a Health Authority must also be
reported to the NB.
OTC/Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Requirements
We market over-the-counter (“OTC”) pharmaceutical products, such as topical acne products, anticavity
toothpaste, anticavity rinse, antiperspirant, hemorrhoid relief, skin protectant, antinauseant, oral analgesic and
sunscreen drug products, that are subject to FDA and foreign regulation. Under the U.S. OTC monograph system,
OTC pharmaceutical products that meet established conditions are generally recognized as safe and effective and
do not require the submission and approval of a new drug application. The FDA OTC monographs include well-
known ingredients and specify requirements for permitted indications, required warnings and precautions,
allowable combinations of ingredients and dosage levels. Pharmaceutical products marketed under the OTC
monograph system must conform to specific quality, formula and labeling requirements. Following the passage
of the CARES Act, FDA is updating and working to finalize current monographs, including those that affect our
oral care products and HERO sunscreens. With these new regulations, OTC products will now need to be “state
of the art” and will have significant focus on Good Manufacturing Practices (“GMPs”), especially
manufacturing, final formulation testing, stability testing, and safety incident reporting. Products not in the
monograph system can be deemed to be unapproved new drugs and can be forced from the market. This is
particularly the case for homeopathic drug products like certain ZICAM products. Both the FDA and the FTC
have taken the position that homeopathic products are unapproved new drugs. Regulatory action against these
products is deemed unlikely unless the products present an unreasonable safety risk. ZICAM homeopathic
products are not currently perceived to pose such risk.
All facilities where OTC pharmaceutical products are manufactured, tested, packaged, stored or distributed
must comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMP”) regulations and/or regulations promulgated
by competent authorities in the countries where the facilities are located. All of our pharmaceutical products are
manufactured, tested, packaged, stored and distributed according to cGMP regulations. The FDA performs
periodic audits to ensure that our facilities remain in compliance with all appropriate regulations. The failure of a
facility to be in compliance may lead to a breach of representations made to customers or to regulatory action
against us related to the products made in that facility, such as seizure, injunction or recall. Serious product
quality concerns could also result in governmental actions against us that, among other things, could result in the
suspension of production or distribution of our products, product seizures, loss of certain licenses or other
governmental penalties, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or operating results.
We are required to report serious adverse events associated with the use of our OTC pharmaceutical products
marketed in the U.S and other countries where such products are sold.
We cannot predict whether new legislation regulating our activities will be enacted or what effect any
legislation would have on our business.
8

Medical Device, OTC/Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Pre- and Postmarket Regulation
Before and after a medical device, OTC/pharmaceutical, and/or cosmetic is commercialized, numerous
regulatory requirements apply, including:
•
international quality system regulations, including those of the FDA and other regulatory authorities,
impose cGMP requirements governing the methods used in, and the facilities and controls used for, the
design, manufacture, packaging, servicing, labeling, storage, installation, and distribution of all
finished medical devices and OTC pharmaceuticals intended for human use;
•
global standards and regulations affecting product design and development, including requirements to
keep existing products current to the “state of the art,” and doing an ongoing assessment of the risk
acceptability, adopting risk control measures where appropriate, and re-assessing the clinical benefit;
•
labeling regulations, including a prohibition on product promotion for unapproved or “off label” uses;
•
the medical device and drug reporting regulation requiring a manufacturer to report to the regulatory
authorities if its drug or device may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or
malfunctioned in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if it were to
recur and ongoing post-market surveillance of the product and like-products to continuously evaluate
the benefit/risk over the life of the product; and
•
regulations on corrections and removals which require a manufacturer to report recalls and field actions
to the regulatory authorities if initiated to reduce a risk to health posed by the device or to remedy a
violation of the applicable laws.
Food Products
We market baking soda and animal feed products, such as rumen fermentation enhancers and Dietary
Cation-Anion Difference (“DCAD”) balancers that are also subject to FDA and foreign regulation. The Food
Safety Modernization Act (“FSMA”) regulates food and animal feed products and mandates preventive controls,
including hazard analysis, risk controls, supplier qualifications and controls and increased record keeping. FSMA
grants the FDA the authority to require mandatory recalls for products under certain conditions. The FDA is
currently in the process of establishing rules and guidance to implement the provisions of FSMA. The potential
impact of these rules and applicable guidance will be determined as they are published, and compliance plans
will be affected as necessary.
Dietary Supplements
The processing, formulation, safety, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, advertising, distribution,
importing, selling, and storing our dietary supplements are subject to regulation by one or more federal agencies,
including the FDA, the FTC, the CPSC, the EPA, and by various agencies of the states and localities in which our
products are sold. The FDCA governs the composition, safety, labeling, manufacturing and marketing of dietary
supplements. Additionally, dietary supplements sold outside the U.S. may be regulated as drugs.
It is unlawful to market as a dietary supplement any article that is approved as a new drug or is authorized
for investigation as a new drug for which substantial clinical investigations have been instituted and made public,
unless that article was first marketed as a dietary supplement or food. The FDA has authority to effectively void
that restriction through the issuance of a regulation finding the article lawful. The FDA has issued Warning
Letters to companies selling supplements with unapproved new dietary ingredients, unsafe food additives, and/or
drug claims.
Dietary ingredients that were not marketed in the U.S. before October 15, 1994 must be the subject of a new
dietary ingredient notification submitted to the FDA at least 75 days before the initial marketing, unless the
ingredient has been present in the food supply as an article used for food without being chemically altered. The
9

notification must provide evidence of a history of use or other evidence establishing that use of the dietary
ingredient is reasonably expected to be safe. The FDA may determine that notification does not provide an
adequate basis to conclude that a new ingredient is reasonably expected to be safe, which could effectively
prevent the marketing of the ingredient. In May 2022, the FDA issued draft guidance on enforcement policy with
regard to premarket notification of new dietary ingredients. Although the draft guidance was issued for public
comment and does not have the force of law, it is a strong indication of the FDA’s current thinking on the FDA’s
approach to enforcement. The FDA has signaled its intent to enforce the applicable statutes and regulations by
requiring submission of a pre-market safety notification for “new” dietary ingredients.
A company that uses a statement of nutritional support in labeling must possess information substantiating
that the statement is truthful and not misleading. If the FDA determines that a particular statement of nutritional
support is an unacceptable drug claim or an unauthorized version of a health claim, or if the FDA determines that
a particular claim is not adequately supported by existing scientific evidence or is otherwise false or misleading,
the claim could not be used and any product bearing the claim could be subject to regulatory action.
The FDA’s cGMP regulations govern the manufacturing, packaging, labeling and holding operations of
dietary supplement manufacturers. As with OTC products, the FDA performs periodic audits to ensure that our
dietary supplement facilities remain in compliance with all appropriate regulations. The failure of a facility to be
in compliance may lead to a breach of representation made to consumers or to regulatory action against us related
to the products made in that facility, seizure, injunction or recall. There is considerable uncertainty with respect
to the FDA’s interpretation and implementation of the cGMP regulations. The failure of a manufacturing facility
to comply with the cGMP regulations may render products manufactured in that facility adulterated and subjects
those products and the manufacturer to a variety of potential FDA enforcement actions. The manufacturer,
packer, or distributor of a dietary supplement marketed in the U.S. whose name appears on the label of the
supplement is required to report serious adverse events associated with the use of that supplement to the FDA.
Additional legislation may be introduced which, if passed, would impose substantial new regulatory
requirements on dietary supplements. The effect of additional domestic or international governmental legislation,
regulations, or administrative orders, if and when promulgated, cannot be determined. New legislation or
regulations may require the reformulation of certain products to meet new standards and require the recall or
discontinuance of certain products not capable of reformulation.
SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (“ESG”)
PILLARS
Sustainability is how we refer to our Environmental, Social & Governance (“ESG”) efforts to deliver
growth and profitability while making a meaningful and positive impact. We believe that Sustainability is critical
to the health of the communities in which we operate, contributes to a better world and benefits our business both
financially and operationally. Each year we publish a Sustainability Report that discloses our business and
corporate responsibility commitments and details our ESG performance metrics and targets and other
components of our ESG efforts. Our 2023 Sustainability Report is available on our web site at https://
churchdwight.com/pdf/Sustainability/2023-Sustainability-Report.pdf, and our 2024 Sustainability Report will be
available in April 2025 (the “2024 Sustainability Report” and together with the 2023 Sustainability Report, the
“Sustainability Reports”). References to our Sustainability Reports are for informational purposes only and
neither the Sustainability Reports nor the other information on our website is incorporated by reference into this
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The following six pillars are the core focus of our Environmental and Social efforts. Each is supported
through our Governance practices, which are intended to maintain a system of rules, processes and practices that
determine how we operate and align the interests of our stakeholders in support of ethical business practices and
financial success.
•
Our Brands: Delight consumers with our brands and contribute towards a more sustainable world
10

•
Products: Provide safe and effective products for consumers and the environment
•
Packaging: Utilize consumer friendly and environmentally responsible packaging
•
Employees and Communities: Embrace the principles of good corporate citizenship and social
responsibility within the communities we can impact
•
Environment & Climate Change: Minimize environmental impact of our global operations, with a
focus on increased renewable energy usage, reduced water consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and
solid waste to landfills
•
Responsible Sourcing: Improve our suppliers’ environmental, labor, health & safety and ethical
practices
Environmental. Our operations are subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations relating
to environmental concerns, including air emissions, wastewater discharges, solid and hazardous waste
management activities, and the safety of our employees. We endeavor to take actions necessary to comply with
such regulations. These steps include periodic environmental and health and safety audits of our facilities. The
audits, conducted by independent firms with expertise in environmental, health and safety compliance, include
site visits at each location, as well as a review of documentary information, to determine compliance with such
federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations. We strive to minimize the impact of our expanding
global operations and to meet the challenge of managing our environmental footprint. Our top environmental
priorities include providing effective products that are safe for our consumers, the animals they care for and the
environment; utilizing consumer friendly and environmentally responsible packaging; reducing greenhouse gas
emission and water usage; recycling solid waste; and improving our suppliers’ environmental practices.
Social. Our Social focus areas are driven by our goals of delighting consumers with our brands through our
contributions to Sustainability which we believe contributes to a better world; improving our suppliers’ labor,
health & safety, environmental and ethical practices; and supporting our employees and communities – all to
create a stronger more resilient company. In their everyday work, employees embody our commitments to
integrity, quality, and innovation, and in doing so, directly contribute to our long-standing character and
reputation. Employee safety and wellness remain two of our highest priorities. We administer company-wide
policies designed to ensure the safety of each team member and compliance with OSHA and local standards. We
embrace the diversity of our employees across all dimensions and believe that a diverse and inclusive workforce
fosters innovation and promotes an environment filled with unique perspectives. We strive to cultivate a culture
and processes that support and enhance our ability to recruit, hire, develop and retain talent at every level based
on merit. We do not discriminate in our recruiting, hiring, or promotion on the basis of protected class
characteristics or conditions. We encourage our employees to become involved in their communities through our
Employee Giving Fund, which supports charitable organizations where our employees work and live, and The
Church & Dwight Philanthropic Foundation (the “Foundation”) which is focused on helping to create educational
and employment opportunities and advancing environmental preservation. The Employee Giving Fund and the
Foundation are administered by our employees. See pages 12 to 13 in Item 1 of this Annual Report under “
Human Capital” for a discussion of our human capital management.
Governance. Our sustainability governance focus includes the processes, rules, resources and systems in support
of our operational, Sustainability and ESG efforts, as were described in our 2024 Proxy Statement and will be
described in our Proxy Statement for our upcoming Annual Meeting of Stockholders under the caption
“Sustainability Strategy and ESG Pillars” and in our 2024 Sustainability Report. Our Corporate Issues Council
(the “Council”), comprised of senior executives representing all our key functional areas, guides the integration
of Sustainability within all parts of our business and drives continuous improvement in our Sustainability
approach and performance. The Council takes the lead in defining and implementing our Sustainability strategies
across our six ESG pillars. Our Board of Directors, acting principally through its Governance, Nominating &
Corporate Responsibility Committee, oversees our Sustainability program and ESG efforts, including our climate
change policies and programs, with that Committee and the Compensation & Human Capital and Audit
11

Committees each focusing on specified areas of Sustainability, including compliance and ethics, and human
capital. Our Political Contributions Policy, which is posted in the Investor Relations section of our website, sets
forth our policies regarding political contributions and membership in industry groups that further our business
goals. Our General Counsel and Independent Lead Director are responsible for ensuring that stockholder
requests, recommendations and proposals are evaluated by the Governance, Nominating & Corporate
Responsibility Committee, additional committees within the Board as appropriate, and then by the Board of
Directors, if needed.
As described in our Sustainability Reports, our continued progress in key areas of ESG has earned
recognition from various third parties.
We use the standards and guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative, Sustainability Accounting Standards
Board industry specific standards and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures to inform our
Sustainability disclosures included in this Annual Report, our Proxy Statement and our Sustainability Reports.
The “materiality” thresholds in those standards and guidelines may differ from the concept of “materiality” for
purposes of the federal securities laws and disclosures required by the Commission’s rules in this Annual Report.
Moreover, the inclusion of Sustainability disclosures in this Annual Report and in our other filings with the
Commission does not necessarily imply that we consider them to be material for purposes of the federal
securities laws or the Commission’s rules and regulations governing such disclosure.
HUMAN CAPITAL
Overview
Much of our success comes from our culture. Our people share a collective energy and ambition towards
making a difference supporting the greater good, by providing affordable, quality products for everyday life, as
reflected in our ESG and sustainability commitments, and by giving back to their communities. Our culture
generates a collective passion, strength and determination to make an outsized impact, every day.
Safety and Wellness
Employee safety and wellness--in both plants and offices—remain two of our highest priorities. We develop
and administer company-wide policies to ensure the safety of each team member and compliance with OSHA
standards.
Our Employees
As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately 5,750 global employees, an increase of approximately 200
compared to December 31, 2023. Approximately 85% of our workforce is located in the Americas, 10% in
Europe, Middle East, and Africa, and 5% in the Asia-Pacific region. About 53% of our employees are salaried
and about 47% are paid hourly wages. During fiscal 2024, our overall turnover rate was approximately 15%. Our
revenue per employee in fiscal 2024 was approximately $1.06 million.
Inclusive and Effective Workforce
We embrace the diversity of our employees in all dimensions and, our efforts aspire to help us achieve a
more inclusive workforce and optimize our long-term performance. We also strive to cultivate a culture and
processes that support and enhance our ability to recruit, hire, develop and retain talent at every level based on
merit.
As a company we remain committed to fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement for all.
In 2023 we launched several Employee Resource Groups (“ERGs”). These Company-supported,
employee-run groups contribute to our goal of building and maintaining a diverse and inclusive workplace at
12

Church & Dwight. We started the program with ERGs for military veterans (V.A.L.O.R.), Black employees
(B.O.L.D.) and women (W.A.V.E.). Each ERG is open to all employees, is intended to create inclusive
environments where all global employees feel connected, valued, and inspired to build customer value and
contribute to our Company’s success.
We are committed to transparency and accountability that will drive continuous progress. As part of our
commitment to transparency and accountability, we publish workplace demographics of our employees in our
Sustainability Reports.
Hiring, Development and Retention
Our talent strategy is focused on attracting the best talent and recognizing and rewarding performance, while
continually developing, engaging and retaining our talented employees.
We invest resources in professional development and growth as a means of improving employee
performance and improving retention. This includes management training aimed at continuous learning,
professional training and development opportunities, targeted leadership development courses for new and
existing leaders of different levels of seniority, tuition reimbursement, on-boarding efforts, job specific programs
for our employees, cultural reinforcement and more.
Compensation and Benefits
Attracting and retaining talent is a priority at Church & Dwight. We offer competitive pay and a range of
benefits that support the well-being of our workforce. This includes offering competitive salaries and wages, as
well as benefits such as health insurance, retirement and profit-sharing plans, and paid time off.
Employees are eligible for health insurance, prescription drug benefits, dental, vision, hospital indemnity,
accident, critical illness, and disability insurance, life insurance, health savings accounts, flexible spending
accounts, reproductive rights coverage, participation in savings plans, and identity theft insurance, in each case
subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable plans and programs.
Communities
We encourage our employees to become involved in their communities, and in 2024, our Employee Giving
Fund supported our communities by providing approximately $1.3 million to 237 deserving community
organizations through annual grants, disaster relief, and other monetary support. Employees purchased
back-to-school supplies online to support disadvantaged youth, donated clothes and non-perishable items for
clothing and food drives and provided supplies for a summer camp and holiday dinner for families in need.
In 2020 we established the Church and Dwight Philanthropic Foundation (the “Foundation”) with the focus
on helping to create educational and employment opportunities and advancing environmental preservation. The
Foundation is administered by our employees. In 2024, eight organizations were chosen and received grants
totaling approximately $1.3 million.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The following risks and uncertainties, as well as other factors described elsewhere in this Annual Report or
in our other filings with the Commission, could, individually and collectively, have a material adverse impact on
our business, reputation, financial results, financial condition and/or the trading price of our Common Stock:
Business and Operational Risks
•
We face intense competition in our markets.
We face intense competition from consumer products companies, both in the U.S. and in international
markets. Most of our products compete with other widely-advertised promoted and merchandised brands within
each product category and from retailers, including supermarkets, mass merchandisers, wholesale clubs,
drugstores, convenience stores, home stores, dollar and other discount stores, pet and other specialty stores and
websites and other e-commerce channels, which are increasingly offering private label and retailer-branded
brands and generic non-branded products in certain categories, which typically are sold at lower prices, and
consumers are increasingly seeking lower cost “private label” products. In China, in particular we face strong
competition from local manufacturers offering both generic and branded products. The use of evolving
technology to develop more complex pricing models by retailers has led and may continue to lead to pricing
pressures in some categories. In addition, an increase in consumers purchasing more “private label” or other
lower price brands has increased competition in certain product categories in particular, including dietary
supplements, diagnostic kits and oral analgesics, and there has been increased consumer shifts to private label
products across multiple categories. In addition to competition across all our product categories, there continues
to be significant product competition in the gummy dietary supplement category, which has grown from about 10
competitors a decade ago to more than 60 competitors of significance in recent years, contributing, together with
supply chain challenges that resulted in increased shelf space and/ or display for certain of our competitors, to an
impairment in our VMS business in the third quarter of 2024. Shifting consumer behavior, including continuing
shifts to online shopping, have also increased competition in e-commerce in many of our categories, from our
larger legacy competitors and newer digitally native brands which have increasingly moved into consumer
products and staples.
Many of our competitors are large companies, including, among others, P&G, The Clorox Company,
Colgate-Palmolive Company, S.C. Johnson & Son, Inc., Nestle Purina PetCare Company and Nestle Health
Science, Haleon plc, Henkel, Reckitt Benckiser Group plc, Kenvue Inc., Pfizer Inc., Bayer AG, NBTY, Inc.,
Koninklijke Philips N.V., Unilever PLC, Sanofi, Pharmavite LLC, Edgewell Personal Care, Panoxyl, Starface
and Peach & Lily. Many of these companies have greater financial resources than we do, and these competitors,
as well as new market entrants, may therefore, have the capacity to outspend us on advertising and promotional
activities and introduce competing products or adopt new technologies, such as artificial intelligence and
machine learning, more quickly, successfully and effectively, and respond more effectively to changing business
and economic conditions than we can.
Our products generally compete on the basis of performance, brand recognition, price, value or other
benefits to consumers. Significant price competition may require us to reduce the prices for some of our products
to price levels that do not offset manufacturing cost increases, to respond to competitive and customer pressures
and to maintain market share. Increases to our prices, as a result of inflationary pressures or otherwise, could
cause declining sales of products whose prices we have increased. In response to inflationary pressures and other
factors, we have raised prices on many of our products across our global portfolio of brands in recent years.
Ongoing periods of high inflation or increased costs resulting from higher tariffs imposed by the U.S. or other
countries could lead to additional price increases on these or our other products, adversely impacting demand for
our products. Advertising, promotion, merchandising and packaging also have a significant impact on retail
customer decisions regarding the brands and product lines they sell and on consumer purchasing decisions. A
newly introduced consumer product (whether improved or newly developed) usually encounters intense
competition requiring substantial expenditures for advertising, sales promotion and trade merchandising. If a
15

product gains consumer acceptance, it normally requires continued advertising, promotional support and product
improvements to maintain its relative market position. If our advertising, marketing and promotional programs,
including the use of digital and social media to reach consumers, are not effective, our sales growth may decline.
•
A continued change in the retail environment and changing consumer preferences could cause our
sales to decline.
Despite increasing shifts to e-commerce, sales of our products remain highest in the traditional mass
merchandiser, food and drug retail stores, and our products are also sold in club stores and dollar store channels.
However, alternative retail channels, including direct to consumer, e-commerce retailers, hard discounters,
subscription services and buying clubs, have become more prevalent and the volume of consumer products that
are sold through such alternative retail channels is continuing to increase, which may affect customer and
consumer preferences, including any pricing pressures for consumer goods as retailers face added costs to build
or further expand their e-commerce capacity. In addition, a growing number of alternative sales channels and
business models, such as niche brands, native online brands, private label and store brands, direct-to-consumer
brands and channels and discounter channels, have emerged in the markets we serve. In particular, the growing
presence of, and increasing sales through, e-commerce retailers have affected, and may continue to affect,
consumer behavior or preferences (as consumers increasingly shop online and via mobile and social applications)
and market dynamics, including any pricing pressures for consumer goods as retailers face added costs to build
their e-commerce capacity. In 2024, some of our largest customers launched private label brands that compete
with our products and may continue to expand those offerings in the future. Further, consumer preferences
continue to evolve due to a number of factors, including fragmentation of the consumer market and changes in
consumer demographics, including the aging of the general population and the emergence of Generation Z and
Generation Alpha who have different spending, consumption and purchasing habits and are increasingly shifting
to “private label” products and new nontraditional brands rather than maintaining allegiance to historical brands;
evolving consumer concerns or perceptions regarding ESG practices of manufacturers, including the
environmental impacts of products and the sourcing and sustainability of, packaging materials, such as plastic
packaging, and their environmental impact; greenhouse gas emissions; waste disposal practices; a growing
demand for natural or organic products and ingredients; changing consumer sentiment toward non-local products
or sources among different demographic groups; evolving consumer concerns or perceptions regarding the
effects of ingredients or substances present in certain consumer products; reduced brand loyalty; and concerns
regarding human capital practices.
We and many of our competitors have increased our online sales as a result of shifting consumer behavior,
benefiting from scale, brand recognition, and other factors. However, as consumers continue to shift their
behavior, retailers may incur higher e-commerce operating costs and will seek to recover those costs by passing
them onto customers and manufacturers. Additionally, we cannot predict the extent to which our increased
e-commerce demand will continue or the impact on our profits as retailers seek to recover higher e-commerce
related operating costs. Any significant changes in consumer preferences or behavior could materially and
negatively impact demand for our products and, in turn, our net sales and results of operations. Consumer
preferences are also influenced by the perception of our brand images or those of our products, the success of
advertising and marketing campaigns, our ability to engage with consumers in the manner they prefer, including
through the use of digital media or assets, and the perception of our advertising content, use of social media and
extent of engagement in political and social issues. If we are not successful in continuing to adapt to changing
consumer preferences and market dynamics or expanding sales through e-commerce retailers or alternative retail
channels, our business, financial condition and results of operations and cash flows may be negatively impacted.
•
Volatility and increases in the price of raw and packaging materials or energy costs could erode our
profit margins.
The principal raw materials and packaging used by us and certain of our suppliers and contract
manufacturers include surfactants (cleaning agents), paper products and resin-based molded components.
16

Volatility, and increases in the costs of raw materials without offsetting price increases, disruptions in production
or transportation, or increases in the costs of energy, labor, shipping and other necessary services, or other
inflationary pressures, including market conditions, inflation, banking failures, supplier capacity restraints,
geopolitical developments (including the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East and political upheaval
in the Middle East and Europe), the impact of the new presidential administration in the U.S., potential tariffs on
imported materials or the impact of tariffs on products or materials exported outside of the U.S., federal
government spending disputes and government shutdowns, port congestions, strikes or delays, transport capacity
restraints, or other disruptions, could significantly affect our profit margins if we are unable to pass along any
higher costs in the form of price increases or otherwise achieve cost efficiencies, such as in manufacturing and
distribution. General inflationary pressures continued in 2024, and we may still be affected by increased costs
impacting our supplies, transportation or manufacturing processes which could impact our gross margin. While
we have increased prices on a majority of our products in recent years, there is no assurance that we will be able
to fully offset any input costs increases, through cost reduction programs or price increases of our products or
enter locked-in price arrangements or hedge agreements, especially given the competitive environment.
Sustained, those price increases may lead to declines in volume as competitors may reduce their prices or
customers may decide not to pay higher prices or to purchase lower priced alternatives, which could lead to sales
declines and loss of market share. While we seek to project tradeoffs between price increases and volume, our
projections may not accurately predict the volume impact of price increases. In addition, volatility in certain
commodity markets could significantly affect our production cost. Additionally, increased tariffs, or proposed
increases to tariffs, imposed by the U.S. or other countries could have the impact of increasing costs on a wide
range of products and services, including on our products and items used to manufacture and deliver our
products, and could lead to increased prices, price volatility and reduced demand for our products.
From time to time, we use hedge agreements to mitigate the volatility of commodities and diesel fuel prices.
The hedge agreements are designed to add stability to product costs, enabling us to make pricing decisions and
lessen the economic impact of abrupt changes in prices over the term of the contract. However, in periods of
declining fuel or other commodity prices, the hedge agreements can have the effect of locking us in at above-
market prices.
•
Loss of any of our principal customers could significantly decrease our sales and profitability.
A limited number of customers account for a large percentage of our net sales and/or net sales of specific
product lines. Walmart is our largest customer, accounting for approximately 23% of net sales in 2024, 23% of
net sales in 2023, and 24% of net sales in 2022. Our top four customers accounted for approximately 43%, 44%
and 42% of net sales in 2024, 2023 and 2022 respectively. We expect that a significant portion of our net sales
will continue to be derived from a small number of customers and that these percentages may increase if the
growth of mass merchandisers continues. As a result, changes in the strategies of any of our largest customers,
including a reduction in the number of brands they carry or of shelf space they dedicate to private label products,
could materially harm our net sales and profitability. Any loss of or significant reduction in sales to one of our
key customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Changes in consumer behavior, including continued shifting to online shopping instead of physical retail
shopping, could also impact our sales to our largest customers. Some of our retail customers have experienced
and may experience in the future declining financial performance, which could affect their ability to pay amounts
due to us on a timely basis or at all. If these impacts are prolonged, they can further increase the difficulty of
planning for operations. Moreover, the use of evolving technology by our customers to develop more complex
pricing models may lead to category pricing pressures. We could also lose a significant customer due to customer
service levels or real or perceived product quality or appearance issues. As our business is based primarily upon
individual sales orders rather than long-term contracts and most customer agreements include customer
termination rights after short notice, many of our customers could reduce their purchasing levels or cease buying
products from us at any time and for any reason.
17

•
Market category declines and changes to our product and geographic mix may impact the
achievement of our sales growth targets, planned pricing and financial results.
A significant percentage of our revenues come from mature markets that are subject to high levels of
competition where product differentiation is more challenging and price competitors can erode profit
margins. During 2024, approximately 82% of our sales were generated in U.S. markets. U.S. markets for
consumer products are considered mature and commonly characterized by high household penetration,
particularly with respect to our most significant product categories, such as laundry detergents, deodorizers,
household cleaning products, toothpastes, dietary supplements, antiperspirants and deodorants. Our ability to
quickly innovate to differentiate our products (including product packaging and sustainability profiles) to meet
changing consumer demands is essential, especially in light of e-commerce significantly reducing the barriers for
even small competitors to quickly introduce new brands and products directly to consumers. Even if we are
successful in increasing sales within our product categories, a continuing or accelerating decline in the overall
markets for our products could have a negative impact on our financial results. We have implemented price
increases and may implement additional price increases in the future, including to account for increasing costs,
which may slow sales growth or create volume declines in the short term as customers and consumers adjust to
these price increases. In addition, our Specialty Products business has been and may continue to be negatively
impacted by the entrance of new foreign competition in the United States dairy market. We expect that
low-priced imports will continue to enter the market. During the first quarter of 2024, due to declining sales, we
exited the MEGALAC supplement portion of our Animal Nutrition business within our Specialty Products
Division segment and during the second quarter of 2024, we sold our food safety business, Passport Food Safety
Solutions, Inc. During the fourth quarter of 2024, our 50% interest in The ArmaKleen Company was sold to our
joint venture partner.
•
Decreases in demand for our products would decrease our sales and profitability.
Factors that can affect demand include competitors’ products, advertising and pricing actions, inflationary
pressures, rates of unemployment, consumer confidence, health care costs, including increased costs as a result of
changes in federal regulations, significant shifts in government policies, the deterioration of economic or trade
relations between countries or regions, commodity costs, fuel and other energy costs and other economic factors
affecting consumer spending behavior, including gasoline and home heating oil pricing, reduced unemployment
benefits in periods of high unemployment, restrictions on travel and access to public spaces, and changes in tax
policies, other effects of governmental shutdowns or a lapse of appropriations or fear of exposure to or actual
impacts of a widespread disease outbreak. In particular, we derive a substantial percentage of our revenues from
sales of laundry detergent, and the continued customer demand for these products are critical to our future
success. Some products have seen decreasing demand in recent years, including condoms, as a result of
demographic and other changes. We believe that inflation is continuing to drive a decline in consumer spending
for our most discretionary brands, Waterpik and Flawless, as consumers reduce spending in these categories and
shift to lower cost alternatives. Most notably, a growing number of water flosser consumers are continuing to
switch to competitors’ value-branded products. Moreover, in our vitamin business, we are experiencing
significant product competition coming from new category entrants, including private label, which contributed to
the previously announced impairment in our VMS business. In addition, our Specialty Products business has
been negatively impacted by the return of foreign competition in the United States dairy market.
An increasing number of our products are more discretionary in nature and, therefore are more likely to be
affected by consumer decisions to control spending.
•
We rely on the policies of our key retailer customers.
Larger and increasingly consolidated retailers have increasing influence, and have sought to obtain lower
pricing, special packaging inventory practices, logistics or other changes to the customer-supplier relationship as
a result of this influence. To the extent we provide concessions or better trade terms to those customers, our
18

profit margins are reduced. Further, if we are unable to effectively respond to the demands of our customers,
these customers could reduce their purchases of our products and increase their purchases of products from
competitors. Reductions in inventory by our customers, including as a result of consolidation in the retail
industry, or these customers managing their working capital requirements, could result in reduced orders for our
products and adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows for financial periods affected by such
reductions.
Protracted unfavorable market conditions have caused many of our customers to more critically analyze the
number of brands they sell, and reduce or discontinue certain of our product lines, particularly those products that
were not number one or two in their category.
In addition, private label and retail-branded products sold by retail trade chains are typically sold at lower
prices than branded products. As consumers look for opportunities to decrease discretionary spending, our
customers have discontinued or reduced distribution of some of our products to encourage those consumers to
purchase the customers’ less expensive and, in some cases, more profitable private label and retail-branded
products (primarily in the dietary supplements, stain fighters, diagnostic kits and oral analgesics categories).
•
We have pursued and may continue to pursue strategic acquisitions and divestitures.
We may continue to pursue and consummate additional acquisitions, divestitures or substantial investments
in complementary businesses or products in the future. However, we may not be able to identify and successfully
negotiate suitable strategic acquisitions at attractive valuations, obtain financing for future acquisitions on
satisfactory terms or otherwise complete future acquisitions. Potential acquisitions may be significantly larger
than the ones completed in the past and may require us to increase our levels of debt, potentially resulting in us
being assigned a lower credit rating. Increases in interest rates in recent years may make it more difficult to
borrow at attractive rates to fund future acquisitions. In recent periods, competition from other consumer
products companies that are seeking similar opportunities has been particularly strong, and valuations for
potential acquisition assets have been high, which has placed pressure on our ability to identify, structure and
execute transactions. In addition, acquisitions and investments entail various risks, including the difficulty of
entering new markets, product categories, or business models, the challenges of integrating the operations and
personnel of the acquired businesses or products, the potential disruption of our ongoing business and the
ongoing business of the acquired company, the need to review and, if necessary, upgrade processes and systems
of the acquired company to conform to our own processes and systems and applicable legal and regulatory
requirements, managing an increasingly broad and complex range of businesses and products, and, generally, our
potential inability to obtain the desired financial and strategic benefits from the acquisition or investment. Any of
these risks may divert management and other resources, require us to incur unanticipated costs or delay the
anticipated positive impact on our business and results of the acquisition. The risks associated with assimilation
are increased to the extent we acquire businesses that have stand-alone operations or businesses that are in new
categories that cannot easily be integrated or operations or sources of supply outside of the U.S. and Canada, for
which products are manufactured locally by third parties.
Acquired companies or operations or newly-created ventures may not be profitable or may not achieve sales
levels and profitability that justify the investments made. In addition, future acquisitions or investments could
result in substantial cash expenditures, the potentially dilutive issuances of new equity by us or the incurrence of
additional debt or business acquisition liabilities, or the assumption of contingent liabilities, such as those
relating to advertising claims, environmental issues and litigation.
The Company has divested and may, in the future, divest certain assets, businesses or brands. A divestiture
could affect the profitability of the Company as a result of the gains or losses on such sale of a business or brand,
the loss of the operating income or sales resulting from such sale or the costs or liabilities that are not assumed by
the acquirer that may negatively impact profitability and cash flow subsequent to any divestiture. If the Company
is unable to complete a divestiture or successfully transition a divested business, including the effective
19

management of the related separation and overhead costs, transition services, and the maintenance of
relationships with customers, suppliers, and other business partners, its business and financial results could be
negatively impacted. The Company may also be required to recognize impairment charges or other losses as a
result of a divestiture.
Adverse economic conditions continue to impact a portion of our businesses. We believe that inflation and
recessionary concerns are continuing to drive a decline in consumer spending for our most discretionary brands,
Waterpik and Flawless, as consumers reduce spending in these categories and shift to lower cost alternatives.
Most notably, a growing number of water flosser consumers are continuing to switch to competitors’ value-
branded products. Moreover, in our vitamin business, we are experiencing significant product competition
coming from new category entrants, including private label that resulted in increased shelf space and/ or display
for certain of our competitors. Overall, we have continued to experience increased online sales. Potential
recessionary economic conditions may impact consumer demand for certain of our products and put downward
pressure on product prices.
•
New products and product line extensions may not gain widespread customer acceptance, may be
otherwise discontinued, or cause sales of existing products to decline.
Our future performance and growth depend on our ability to successfully identify, develop and introduce
new products, product line extensions, products in adjacent categories to our current products, and anticipate
changes in consumer preferences. In addition, some of our products have shorter product life spans and depend
heavily on our ability to continuously and timely introduce innovative new products to the marketplace. The
successful development and introduction of new products involves substantial research, development, marketing
and promotional expenditures, which we may be unable to recover if the new products do not gain widespread
market acceptance. New product development and marketing efforts, including efforts to enter markets or
product categories in which we have limited or no prior experience, have inherent risks. These risks include
product development or launch delays, competitor actions, regulatory approval hurdles and the failure of new
products and line extensions to achieve anticipated levels of market acceptance. In addition, sales generated by
new products could result in an associated decline in sales of existing products.
Each year, we introduce new products across the majority of our brands, including launches into new “white
space” categories. However, there is no assurance that our new products will continue to have widespread
acceptance. Success in launching new products is also dependent on our ability to deliver effective and efficient
marketing in an evolving media landscape (including digital and social media), which is subject to dynamic and
increasingly restrictive privacy requirements. If product introductions are not successful, costs associated with
these efforts may not be fully recouped and our net earnings or margins could be adversely affected. From time
to time, we have discontinued certain products and product lines, which resulted in returns from customers, asset
write-offs and shutdown costs. We may suffer similar adverse consequences in the future to the extent we
discontinue products that do not meet retailer or consumer expectations or no longer satisfy consumer demand.
•
We are subject to cost overruns and delays, regulatory requirements, and miscalculations in capacity
needs with respect to our expansion projects and our manufacturing facilities, as well as disruptions
to our manufacturing facilities and those of our contract manufacturers and other suppliers.
From time to time, we initiate planned and unplanned expansion projects with respect to our facilities and
those of our contract manufacturers and other suppliers which are subject to risks of, and we have from time to
time experienced, delay or cost overruns resulting from numerous factors, including the following: shortages of
equipment, materials or skilled labor; work stoppages; unscheduled delays in the delivery of ordered materials
and equipment; unanticipated cost increases; difficulties in obtaining necessary permits or in meeting permit
conditions; difficulties in meeting regulatory or quality requirements or obtaining regulatory approvals;
availability of suppliers to certify equipment for existing and enhanced regulations; design and engineering
problems; failure or delay of third party service providers; and civil unrest, labor disputes, natural disasters and
20

pandemics. If we were to experience delays or cost overruns in the future it could result in product allocation and
retailer frustration, the loss of a significant customer or customers and the material decrease of the sales of one or
more of our products. In addition, we could miscalculate our anticipated capacity needs in any of our categories,
such as our laundry detergent, cat litter and dietary supplement categories, including as a result of meeting the
anticipated demand of our customers, or expansion into new product lines or into new markets.
Additionally, the supply of our products depends on the uninterrupted efficient operation of our
manufacturing facilities and those of our contract manufacturers and other suppliers and our ability to meet
customer service levels. The manufacturing of certain of our products is concentrated in one or more of our
plants, contract manufacturers or other suppliers, with limited alternate qualified facilities available. Many of our
manufacturing processes and those of our contract manufacturers and other suppliers are complex and present
difficult technical challenges to obtain the manufacturing yields necessary to operate profitably and may require
complex and specialized equipment which can be expensive to repair or replace with required lead times of up to
a year.
Any event that disrupts or otherwise negatively impacts manufacturing facilities, manufacturing systems or
equipment, or contract manufacturers or other suppliers could result in the delivery of inferior products or our
ability to meet customer requirements or service levels.
•
We rely on a number of contract manufacturers and suppliers, including sole source contract
manufacturers and suppliers for certain products, and supply chain issues may result in product
shortages or disruptions to the Company’s business.
We rely on a number of contract manufacturers and suppliers for certain of our commodities and raw
materials, including sole source suppliers for certain of our raw materials, packaging, product components,
finished products and other necessary supplies. New suppliers must be qualified pursuant to our standards and
may also have to be qualified under governmental and industry standards and any other standards of our
customers, which can require additional investment and time. We could experience material disruptions in
production and other supply chain issues, largely because of shortages in supplier labor which continues to
impact the availability of many raw and packaging materials, which continues to result in out-of-stock
conditions. In addition, continued out-of-stock supplies or products due to supply chain issues may cause our
customers to switch to competitors’ products that are more available. Moreover, our relationships with customers
could be adversely affected if new or existing suppliers are unable to meet any standards set by us, government
or industry regulations, or our customers, if we are unable to contract with suppliers at the quantity, quality and
price levels needed for our business, if any of our key suppliers becomes insolvent, ceases or significantly
reduces its operations or experiences financial distress, or if any environmental, economic or other outside
factors impact its operations. We may be unable to qualify any needed new contract manufacturers or suppliers
or maintain supplier arrangements and relationships based on a variety of factors; we may be unable to contract
with suppliers at the quantity, quality and price levels needed for our business; certain of our suppliers may not
meet the standards of our customers or licensors; or certain of our key contract manufacturers or suppliers may
become insolvent or experience other financial distress or face closure or suspension of operations. If any of
these events occurs and we have failed to identify and qualify an alternative vendor, then we may be unable to
meet our contractual obligations and customer expectations, which could damage our reputation and result in lost
customers and sales, or the incurrence of fines or higher than expected expenses. Further, in recent years, we
have experienced continuing strain on our supply chain network and its ability to meet demands, including from
disruptions from pandemics, ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, and other factors. In addition, our
supply chain is dependent on materials, components and other products from Asia and other geographies that
may be subject to disruptions in the supply chain, resulting in shortages that would affect our revenue and
operating margins. Further, we could miscalculate our anticipated production capacity or expansion needs in any
of our categories, such as our mouth rinse or acne treatment categories to meet the anticipated demand of our
customers in existing and new markets.
21

•
Reduced availability of transportation or disruptions in our transportation network could adversely
affect us.
We distribute our products and receive raw materials and packaging components primarily by truck, rail and
ship and through various ports of entry. Reduced availability of trucking, rail or shipping capacity due to labor
shortages, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, including climatic events (including any potential effect
of climate change), allocation of assets to other industries or geographies or otherwise, work stoppages, closure
of operations due to government restrictions or sick employees or other impacts of pandemics, strikes or
shutdowns of ports of entry or such transportation sources, could lead to inflationary cost pressures, cause us to
incur unanticipated expenses and impair our ability to distribute our products or receive our raw materials or
packaging components in a timely manner, which could disrupt our operations, strain our customer relationships
and competitive position.
•
Damage to the reputation of one or more of our leading brands could adversely affect us.
Our financial success is directly dependent on the reputation and success of our brands, particularly our
power brands. Seven of our brands are designated as “power brands” because they compete in large categories,
and we believe they have the potential for significant global expansion. Those seven brands are ARM &
HAMMER®; OXICLEAN®; VITAFUSION® and L’IL CRITTERS®; BATISTE®; WATERPIK®;
THERABREATH®; and HERO® and represent approximately 70% of our net sales and profits. The effectiveness
of these brands could suffer if our marketing plans or product initiatives do not have the desired impact on a
brand’s image or its ability to attract consumers. Our brands could suffer damage to their reputations due to real
or perceived, sustainability, quality or safety issues, including as a result of, among other things, significant
product recalls, product-related litigation, defects or impurities in our products, product misuse, changing
consumer perceptions of certain ingredients or environmental impacts (including packaging, energy and water
use and waste management), or allegations of product tampering. In addition, as our sales on various e-commerce
platforms grow, we may be unable to prevent sales of counterfeit, pirated, or stolen goods, unlawful or unethical
sales, unauthorized resellers online, or sales in violation of our policies. During the third quarter of 2024, the
Company continued to experience a decline in market share and a deterioration in the financial performance for
its Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements (“VMS”) business, which includes the VITAFUSION and L’IL
CRITTERS trade names, primarily due to significant product competition coming from new category entrants,
including private label, and supply chain challenges that resulted in increased shelf space and/ or display for
certain of our competitors. The continued decline in profitability caused management to reassess its long-term
strategy and financial outlook of the business. The revised financial outlook reflects lower estimates of future
sales growth and cash flows which resulted in a triggering event in the third quarter. The triggering event
required the Company to review the carrying value of long-lived assets supporting the business in connection
with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, resulting in impairment charges of $357.1 in the
quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Additionally, claims made in our marketing campaigns may become subject to litigation alleging false
advertising and could cause us to alter our marketing plans and may affect sales or result in the imposition of
significant damages against us.
Widespread use of social media and networking sites by consumers has greatly increased the accessibility
and speed of dissemination of negative information and misinformation. Negative online consumer reviews or
inaccurate posting or comments about us or our brands in the media or on any social networking website,
whether accurate or inaccurate, or the disclosure of non-public sensitive information through social media, could
generate adverse publicity that could damage the reputation of our brands. In addition, given the association of
our individual products with us, an issue with one of our products could negatively affect the reputation of our
other products, or us as a whole. In addition, the legal, regulatory and ethical landscape around the use of
artificial intelligence and machine learning is rapidly evolving. The Company’s ability to timely adopt to and
adapt this emerging technology in an effective and ethical manner may impact its reputation and ability to
22

compete, and this technology could be, among other things, false, biased, or inconsistent with the Company’s
values and strategies. Further, the use of generative artificial intelligence tools may compromise confidential or
sensitive information, put the Company’s intellectual property at risk, or subject the Company to claims of
intellectual property infringement, all of which could damage the Company’s reputation.
•
We are subject to risks related to our expansion and international operations that could adversely
affect our results of operations.
Our ability to continue to grow our sales and profits is dependent on expanding in the locations in which we
already do business and entering into new geographic locations, both of which require significant resources and
investments which would affect our risk profile. Further, our international operations subject us to risks
customarily associated with foreign operations, including:
•
Changing macroeconomic conditions in our markets, including as a result of inflation, interest rates,
volatile commodity prices and increases in the cost of raw and packaging materials, labor, energy and
logistics, which could impact our manufacturing operations and that of our third-party partners;
•
currency fluctuations;
•
the Russia/Ukraine war and ongoing and new conflicts in the Middle East and increased tensions
between China and Taiwan, and political developments in the Middle East, Europe and elsewhere;
•
widespread health emergencies, such as COVID-19 or other pandemics or epidemics;
•
import and export license and taxation requirements and restrictions;
•
trade restrictions, including local investment or exchange control regulations, increased tariffs or other
changes to economic and trade policies in the U.S. or abroad, including tariffs imposed in response to
the economic policies of the U.S.;
•
changes in tariffs and taxes;
•
the effect of foreign income taxes, value-added taxes and withholding taxes, including the inability to
recover amounts owed to us by foreign governments, and the determination of the U.S. Internal
Revenue Service (the “I.R.S.”) regarding the applicability of certain regulations, including those
promulgated under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, to our international transactions;
•
the possibility of expropriation, confiscatory taxation or price controls;
•
restrictions on or the costs related to repatriating foreign profits back to the U.S.;
•
political or economic instability, and civil unrest;
•
potential disruption from wars and military conflicts, terrorism or other types of violence;
•
disruptions in the global transportation network, such as work stoppages, strikes or shutdowns of ports
of entry or such other transportation sources, or other labor unrest;
•
extreme weather events resulting in power loss, damage to infrastructure and reduced economic
development in vulnerable areas;
•
compliance with laws and regulations concerning ethical business practices, including without
limitation, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and United Kingdom Bribery Act;
•
difficulty in enforcing contractual and intellectual property rights;
•
regulatory and quality system requirements for certain products; and
•
difficulties in staffing and managing international operations.
23

Major developments in trade relations, including the imposition of new or increased tariffs or sanctions by
the U.S. and/or other countries or other changes put in place by the new U.S. presidential administration, and any
emerging nationalist trends in specific countries could alter the trade environment and consumer purchasing. All
the foregoing risks could have a significant impact on our ability to commercialize our products on a competitive
basis in international markets.
In addition, in all foreign jurisdictions in which we operate, we are subject to laws and regulations that
govern foreign investment, foreign trade and currency exchange transactions. The recent imposition of tariffs on
products imported from certain countries in recent years has introduced greater uncertainty with respect to trade
policies and government regulations affecting trade between the U.S. and other countries. The sanctions
introduced in response to the Ukraine conflict have further exacerbated these issues. Major developments in trade
relations, including the imposition of new or increased tariffs by the U.S. and/or other countries, and any
emerging nationalist trends in specific countries could alter the trade environment and consumer purchasing
behavior which, in turn, could have a material effect on our balance sheet and results of operations. All the
foregoing risks could have a significant impact on our ability to commercialize our products on a competitive
basis in international markets and may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows or
financial position.
•
Failure to effectively utilize, successfully assert intellectual property rights, and the loss or expiration
of such rights, could materially adversely affect our competitiveness. Infringement by us of third-
party intellectual property rights could result in costly litigation and/or the modification or
discontinuance of our products.
We rely on trademark, trade secret, patent and copyright laws to protect our intellectual property rights. The
market for our products depends to a significant extent upon the value associated with our trademarks and brand
names. We own the material trademarks and brand names used in connection with the marketing and distribution
of our major products both in the U.S. and in other countries. While we hold several valuable patents on our
products, they may not serve as an effective barrier to entry for new competitors. Although most of our material
intellectual property is registered in the U.S. and in certain foreign countries in which we operate, we cannot be
sure that our intellectual property rights will be sufficient or effectively utilized or, if necessary, successfully
asserted. There is a risk that we will not be able to obtain and perfect our own intellectual property rights, or,
where appropriate, license from others intellectual property rights necessary to support our ability to
manufacture, import, export, market and/or sell certain products in certain countries or globally or launch new
product. We cannot be sure that these rights, if obtained, will not be invalidated, circumvented or challenged in
the future, and we could incur significant costs in connection with legal actions relating to such rights. In
addition, even if such rights are obtained in the U.S., the laws of some of the other countries in which our
products are or may be manufactured or sold do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as the
laws of the U.S. If other parties infringe our intellectual property rights, they may dilute the value of our brands
in the marketplace, which could diminish the value that consumers associate with our brands and harm our sales.
Our failure to perfect, successfully assert or license intellectual property rights could make us less competitive
and could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to manufacture, import, export,
market and/or sell certain products within certain countries or globally, our operating results, cash flows and our
financial condition.
In addition, if our products are found to infringe intellectual property rights of others, the owners of those
rights could bring legal actions against us claiming substantial damages for past infringement and seeking to
enjoin manufacturing, importing, exporting, marketing and/or sale of the affected products in certain countries or
globally. If these legal actions are successful, in addition to any potential liability for damages from past
infringement, we could be required to obtain a license in order to continue to manufacture, import, export, market
and/or sell the affected products, in certain countries or globally potentially adding significant costs. We might
not prevail in any action brought against us or we may be unsuccessful in securing any license for continued use
24

and therefore have to discontinue the manufacture, importing, exporting, marketing and/or sale of a product in
certain countries or globally.
•
Impairment of our goodwill and other long-lived intangible and tangible assets may result in a
reduction in net income.
We have a material amount of goodwill, trademarks and other intangible assets, as well as other long-lived
tangible assets, which are periodically evaluated for impairment in accordance with current accounting standards.
Declines in our profitability and/or estimated cash flows related to specific intangible assets, as well as potential
changes in market valuations for similar assets and market discount rates, has resulted in impairment charges
from time to time, and may result in future impairment charges. In the third quarter of 2024, due to continued
decline in market share and a deterioration in the financial performance for Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements
business, which includes the VITAFUSION and L’IL CRITTERS trade name, we reassessed our long-term
strategy and financial outlook of the business. The revised financial outlook reflects lower estimates of future
sales growth and cash flows resulting in a triggering event which required the Company to review the carrying
value of long-lived assets supporting the business and resulted in impairment charges as discussed in more detail
in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K.
Regulatory and Litigation Risks
•
We may be subject to product liability claims, withdrawals or recalls or other legal proceedings and
from time to time we are involved in litigation, arbitration or regulatory matters where the outcome is
uncertain and which could entail significant expense.
From time to time, we are subject to product liability or other product-related claims. We may be required to
pay for losses or injuries actually or purportedly caused by our products, including losses or injuries caused by
raw materials or other components provided by third party suppliers that are included in our products. Claims
could be based on allegations that, among other things, our products contain contaminants, are improperly tested,
labeled or designed, or provide inadequate instructions regarding their use or inadequate warnings of potential
dangers related to their use. Whether or not successful, product liability claims could result in negative publicity
that could harm our sales and operating results and the reputation of our brands. In addition, if one of our
products is found to be defective or non-compliant with applicable rules or regulations, we could be required to
withdraw or recall it, which could result in adverse publicity and significant expenses. Although we maintain
product liability and product recall insurance coverage, potential product liability or other product-related
damages claims and/or withdrawal and recall costs may exceed the amount of insurance coverage or may be
excluded under the terms of the policy.
•
Litigation, arbitration or regulatory matters where the outcome is uncertain could entail significant
expense.
From time to time, we are the subject of, or party to, various pending or threatened legal actions (including
class actions), government investigations and proceedings, including, without limitation, those relating to,
commercial transactions, product liability, consumer, employment, antitrust, environmental, health, safety and
compliance-related matters. Such proceedings are subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of certain
pending or threatened legal actions, investigations and proceedings may not be reasonably predictable and any
related damages, injunctions and/or settlements may not be estimable.
•
Environmental matters create potential liability risks.
We must comply with various environmental laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate,
including those relating to the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes and the remediation of
25

contamination associated with the use and disposal of hazardous substances. A release of such substances due to
accident or an intentional act could result in substantial liability to governmental authorities or to third parties.
We have incurred, and will continue to incur, capital and operating expenditures and other costs in complying
with environmental laws and regulations.
•
Changing focus and sensitivity by governmental, non-governmental organizations, customers,
consumers and investors to ESG issues, including those related to diversity and inclusion, climate
change, plastic usage and ingredients, could result in increased operating or manufacturing costs and
compliance challenges, which could adversely affect our business.
As climate change and other ESG issues became more prominent in recent years, so has scrutiny by federal,
state and local governments, non-governmental organizations and our customers, consumers and investors. This
has resulted in new regulatory requirements such as various state-level Extended Producer Responsibility
programs, California’s recently enacted climate reporting legislation, the European Union’s (“EU”) Corporate
Sustainability Reporting Directive (“CSRD”) and customer and consumer standards. In addition, our
stakeholders may continue to demand transparency regarding our diversity and inclusion efforts and they may
receive scrutiny from U.S. regulators, investors and policy groups in connection with the new presidential
administration’s priorities. Our efforts to mitigate our impacts on climate change, and to eliminate chemicals of
concern and otherwise reduce or mitigate adverse effects on the environment, may also continue to be
scrutinized. For example, some of our major customers have requested we respond to various questionnaires,
including the Carbon Disclosure Project (“CDP”) Climate Change, Water and Forests Questionnaires, and use
our responses and CDP scores to evaluate us. Compliance with these requirements, standards and disclosure
requests may be challenging and could cause disruptions in the manufacture of our products and/or result in
increases in operating costs, and additional legal, compliance and regulatory risks and costs. We may also be
required to contribute funds to support recycling and other waste management infrastructure, and/or incur costs
associated with making necessary changes to our operations and controlling, assessing and reporting on certain
ESG metrics. These disruptions and additional costs could make our products more costly and less competitive
than other products, which would adversely affect our business.
•
Any failure to achieve our ESG goals or to effectively respond to new or current legal, regulatory or
stakeholder ESG requirements could adversely affect our business and reputation.
While we strive to minimize adverse impacts of our global operations, our ability to achieve any stated ESG
goal, target, or objective is subject to numerous factors and conditions, many of which are outside of our control.
We could lose revenue if our consumers change brands, major retailers delist our products or our retail customers
move business from us because we have not effectively responded to regulatory requirements, complied with
their ESG requirements or met their expectations related to our sustainability efforts, including with respect to
DEI, climate change, plastic usage, or ingredients. In addition, our actual or perceived failure to achieve or make
sufficient progress towards our stated ESG goals or comply with ESG related regulations could result in
litigation, regulatory scrutiny or adverse publicity, which could damage our reputation, reduce consumer demand
and devalue our brand equity. Further, ESG-conscious investors may choose not to invest in our securities if we
do not comply with their expectations, and investment managers may not include our securities in
ESG-designated funds. These areas have become increasingly politicized, and our efforts to address the concerns
of some stakeholders could cause adverse impact to our relationships with other stakeholders.
•
Current and future laws and regulations in the countries in which we and our suppliers operate could
expose us to increased costs and other adverse consequences.
The development, manufacturing, processing, formulation (including stability), packaging, labeling,
marketing, distribution and sale of our products are subject to regulation by federal agencies, including the U.S.
FDA, the FTC, the EPA and the CPSC and foreign regulators and agencies. In addition, our and our suppliers’
operations are subject to the oversight of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the National
26

Labor Relations Board. Our activities are also regulated by various agencies of the states, localities and foreign
countries in which our products and their constituent materials and components are manufactured and sold.
In particular, the FDA and foreign counterparts regulate the formulation, safety, development,
manufacturing, packaging, labeling and distribution of condoms, home pregnancy test kits, vaginal lubricants,
electric and battery powered medical devices, wound dressings, over-the-counter medicines, homeopathic
products and dietary supplements. The FDA or a similar foreign agency also exercises oversight over cosmetic
products such as depilatories, hair care and skin care products. In addition, under a memorandum of
understanding between the FDA and the FTC, the FTC has jurisdiction over the promotion and advertising of
these products, and the FTC regulates the promotion and advertising of our other products as well. As part of its
regulatory authority, the FDA may periodically conduct inspections of the physical facilities, machinery,
processes and procedures that we and our suppliers use to manufacture regulated products and may identify
compliance issues that would require us and our suppliers to make certain changes in our manufacturing facilities
and processes. The failure of a facility to be in compliance may lead to regulatory action against the products
made in that facility, including seizure, injunction or recall, as well as to possible action against the owner of the
facility/manufacturer. We may be required to make additional expenditures to address these issues or possibly
stop selling certain products until the compliance issue has been remediated.
Likewise, any future determination by the FDA, the EPA or a similar foreign agency, or by us in reviewing
our compliance with applicable rules and regulations, that our products or quality systems do not comply with
applicable regulations could result in future compliance activities, including product withdrawals or recalls,
import detentions, injunctions preventing the shipment of products, or other enforcement actions. For example,
the FDA may determine that a particular claim that we use to support the marketing of a product is not
substantiated or permissible under products’ regulatory classification, may not accept the evidence of safety for a
new product that we may wish to market, may challenge the safety or effectiveness of existing products based on,
among other things, changes in formulations, inadequate stability or “shelf-life,” consumer complaints, or
improper labeling, may take action against our homeopathic products, such as our Zicam products, on the basis
that they are unapproved drugs, and may determine that our dietary supplement business manufacturing,
packaging, labeling and holding operations do not comply with cGMPs. Similarly, we may identify these or other
issues in internal compliance reviews of our operations and the operations and products of vendors and acquired
companies. These other issues may include the identification of contaminants or non-compliant levels of
particular ingredients. Any of the foregoing could subject us to adverse publicity, force us to incur unanticipated
costs and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Additionally, delays in the acceptance, review and approval of products by the FDA or the EPA, or other
required governmental approvals, may result from government shutdowns due to the failure by Congress to enact
regular appropriations.
We are subject to regulations regarding the transportation, storage or use of certain chemicals to protect the
environment, as well as the Commission’s rules with respect to “conflict minerals.” Recent trade policies, tariffs
and government regulations affecting trade between the U.S. and other countries, as well as sanctions by the U.S.
and the European Union in response to the Russia/Ukraine war, have introduced greater uncertainty and
volatility. In addition, renewed significant governmental actions pertaining to pandemics or other health
emergencies, including lockdowns, quarantines or other restrictions on the ability of our employees to travel or
perform necessary business functions or our ability to develop, manufacture, distribute, market or sell our
products, or the ability of our suppliers, customers or third-party partners to effectively run their operations, may
negatively impact our ability to manufacture, distribute, market and sell our products. We are not able to predict
the nature of these changes or of such future laws, regulations, repeals or interpretations or to predict the effect
additional or shifting governmental regulation, when and if it occurs, would have on our business in the future.
Such developments could require reformulation of certain products to meet new standards, recalls or
discontinuance of certain products not able to be reformulated, additional record-keeping requirements, increased
documentation of the properties of certain products, additional or different labeling, additional scientific
substantiation, expanded adverse event reporting or other new requirements.
27

There is also an increased risk of fraud or corruption in certain foreign jurisdictions and related difficulties
in maintaining effective internal controls. Additionally, we could be subject to future inquiries or investigations
by governmental and other regulatory bodies, which may be delayed or disrupted due to any government
furlough. We could also be adversely affected by violations, or allegations of violations, of the Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act and similar international anti-bribery laws. The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar
international anti-bribery laws generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper
payments to government officials or other third parties for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business.
•
We are subject to increasingly stringent privacy and security regulation.
We collect, use and store personal data of our employees, customers and other third parties in the ordinary
course of business, and we are required to comply with increasingly complex and changing data privacy and
security laws and regulations, that apply to the collection, storage, use, transmission and protection of personal
information and other consumer and employee data, including particularly the transfer of personal data between
or among countries. High-profile security breaches of the information systems of a number of government
agencies and U.S. companies may result in increased regulations and new security laws. The current
administration and Congress in the United States may seek to pass more stringent regulations in these areas, or
more aggressively enforce existing regulations.
Numerous local, municipal, state, federal and international law and regulations address privacy and security
including the California Online Privacy Protection Act, the Personal information Protection and Electronic
Documents Act, the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing (CAN-SPAM) Act, the
Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996
(HIPAA), Section 5© of the Federal Trade Commission Act, and, the California Consumer Privacy Act
(“CCPA”). These privacy and security laws and regulations change frequently, and new legislation continues to
be introduced, with over a dozen U.S. states having adopted comprehensive privacy laws. For example, the
CCPA requires new disclosures to California consumers, gives California consumers new rights with respect to
their data, and permits California consumers to opt-out of certain sales of personal information. The CCPA
provides for fines of up to $7,500 per violation. Our website ecommerce and customer relations businesses that
store, process or transmit payment cardholder data are subject to be Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance
requirements as mandated by the credit card companies (Visa, Mastercard, and American Express) and the
Payment Card Institute Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS).
In Europe, the European Union (“EU”) has adopted strict data privacy regulations. Following the passage of
the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679) (“GDPR”) and the Regulation on Privacy and
Electronic Communications (the “ePrivacy Regulation”), data privacy and security compliance in the EU are
increasingly complex and challenging. The GDPR in particular has broad extraterritorial effect and imposes a
strict data protection compliance regime with significant penalties for non-compliance (up to 4% of worldwide
annual turnover or €20 million, whichever is higher). It is also important to note that many countries are
following the EU in producing a broad omnibus law in relation to privacy protection. In general, the GDPR and
ePrivacy Regulation, CCPA, and other local privacy laws, could also require adaptation of our technologies or
practices, increased costs and changes to operations to satisfy local privacy requirements and standards.
We may also face audits or investigations by one or more domestic or foreign government agencies relating
to our compliance with these regulations. An adverse outcome under any such investigation or audit could
subject us to fines, penalties or orders to cease, delay or modify collection, use or transfers of personal data. We
could also face rights requests, complaints, claims, or litigation from those persons whose data we collect, use
and store as well as government investigations and fines. Any of these events or other circumstances related to
our collection, use and transfer of personal data could also lead to negative media attention, damage to our
reputation in the market or otherwise adversely affect our business.
28

•
Changes in tax laws and regulations or in our operations may impact our effective tax rate and may
adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
Our future effective tax rate could be affected by changes in or the interpretation tax laws and regulations,
changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, or changes in the valuation of
deferred tax assets and liabilities. In addition, we evaluate our deferred income tax assets and record a valuation
allowance if it is “more likely than not” that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. If the
actual amount of our future taxable income is less than the amount we are currently projecting with respect to
specific tax jurisdictions, or if there is a change in the time period within which the deferred tax asset becomes
deductible, we could be required to record a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. The recording of
a valuation allowance would result in an increase in our effective tax rate and would have an adverse effect on
our operating results. In addition, changes in statutory tax rates may change our deferred tax assets or liability
balances, which would also impact our effective tax rate.
On October 4, 2021, members of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”)
agreed to a global minimum tax rate of 15%. On December 20, 2021, OECD published its model rules on the
agreed minimum tax known as the Global Anti-Base Erosion (“GloBE”) rules. The GloBE Rules consist of an
interlocking and coordinated system of rules which are designed to be implemented into the domestic law of each
jurisdiction and operate together to ensure large multinational enterprise groups are subject to a minimum
effective tax rate of 15% on any excess profits arising in each jurisdiction where they operate. On December 15,
2022, the European Council approved its directive to implement Pillar Two of the GloBE rules regarding a 15%
global minimum tax rate. Many aspects of Pillar Two will be effective for tax years beginning in January 2024,
with certain remaining impacts to be effective in 2025. As Pillar Two legislation evolves and countries enact new
legislation, we will continue to evaluate Pillar Two and Pillar Two may increase our future effective tax rate.
•
Resolutions of tax disputes may adversely affect our earnings and cash flow.
Significant judgment is required in determining our effective tax rate and in evaluating our tax positions.
We provide for uncertain tax positions with respect to tax positions that do not meet the recognition thresholds or
measurement standards mandated by applicable accounting guidance. Fluctuations in federal, state, local and
foreign taxes or changes to uncertain tax positions, including related interest and penalties, may impact our
effective tax rate and our financial results. We are regularly under audit by tax authorities, and although we
believe our tax estimates are reasonable, the final outcome of tax audits and related litigation could be materially
different than that reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals. In addition, when particular tax
matters arise, a number of years may elapse before such matters are audited and finally resolved. Favorable
resolution of such matters could be recognized as a reduction to our effective tax rate in the year of resolution.
Unfavorable resolution of any tax matter could increase the effective tax rate. Any resolution of a tax issue may
require the use of cash in the year of resolution.
•
Our amended and restated bylaws include an exclusive forum provision.
Our amended and restated bylaws include an “exclusive forum” provision, which may limit the ability of
our stockholders to bring a claim in a judicial forum that such stockholders find favorable for disputes with us or
our directors or officers, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors and officers. If a court
outside of Delaware were to find this exclusive forum provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of,
one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings described above, we could incur additional costs
associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial
condition results of operations or cash flows.
29

Financial Risks
•
We have substantial indebtedness and we may incur substantially more debt in the future.
As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately $2,205.0 million of total consolidated indebtedness, net of
debt issuance costs. This amount of indebtedness could have important consequences, including:
•
making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations;
•
limiting our ability to fund potential acquisitions;
•
requiring us to dedicate a portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness,
which would reduce the availability of cash flow to fund capital expenditures and other general
corporate purposes;
•
limiting our flexibility in reacting to general adverse economic conditions or changes in our business
and the industry in which we operate;
•
limiting our ability to repurchase our Common Stock; and
•
placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt.
Additionally, our revolving facility is subject to certain financial and other customary covenants. In the
event of a breach of those covenants, our lenders under the credit facility may be entitled to accelerate the related
debt (and any lenders in respect of any other debt to which a cross-default provision applies may be entitled to
accelerate such other debt), and we could be required to seek amendments or waivers under the debt instruments
or to refinance the debt. We may incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future to fund acquisitions, to
repurchase shares or to fund other activities for general business purposes. If additional new debt is added to the
current debt levels, the related risks that we now face could intensify. A substantial increase in our indebtedness
could also have a negative impact on our credit ratings. In this regard, a deterioration in our credit ratings could
adversely affect the interest rate available to us in future financings, as well as our liquidity, competitive position
and access to capital markets. The U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates in recent years, and while it has cut
interest rates at recent meetings, and signaled that it expects to hold rates steady or decrease rates in the future,
additional increases or the failure to reduce rates could impact the interest rates available to us for borrowings in
the future. Any decision regarding future borrowings will be based on the facts and circumstances existing at the
time, including market conditions and impact to our credit ratings.
Our revolving credit facility uses Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) based rates following the
phase out of LIBOR. Given the inherent differences between LIBOR and SOFR or any other alternative
benchmark rate that may be established, there are additional uncertainties regarding a transition from LIBOR,
including but not limited to the impact this transition may have on the cost of our variable rate debt and certain
derivative financial instruments. Since the initial publication of SOFR in 2018, changes in SOFR have, on
occasion, been more volatile than changes in other benchmark or market rates, such as United States dollar
LIBOR.
•
Our business is exposed to domestic and foreign currency fluctuations.
We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk (both transaction and translation) with respect to our
sales, profits, assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Outside of the U.S.,
sales and costs are denominated in a variety of currencies, including the Canadian Dollar, Euro, Pound, Mexican
Peso, Australian Dollar, Japanese Yen and Chinese Yuan, among others. A weakening of the currencies in which
sales are generated relative to the currencies in which costs are denominated would decrease operating profits
and cash flow. Changes in currency exchange rates may also affect the relative prices at which we purchase
materials and services in foreign markets. Although we, from time to time, enter into forward exchange contracts
to reduce the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations related to anticipated but not yet committed sales or
purchases denominated in the U.S. Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Pound, Euro, Mexican Peso, Australian Dollar,
30

Japanese Yen and Chinese Yuan, foreign currency fluctuations could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
•
The estimates and assumptions on which our financial projections are based may prove to be
inaccurate, which may cause our actual results to materially differ from such projections, which may
adversely affect expectations regarding our future profitability and cash flows, which may impact our
stock price.
Our financial projections, including, among other things, any sales or earnings guidance or outlook we may
provide from time to time, are dependent on certain estimates and assumptions related to, among other things,
category growth, development and launch of innovative new products, market share projections, product pricing
and sale, volume and product mix, foreign exchange rates and volatility, tax rates, commodity prices,
distribution, cost savings, accruals for estimated liabilities, including litigation reserves, measurement of benefit
obligations for pension and other postretirement benefit plans, and our ability, among other things, to generate
sufficient cash flow to reinvest in our existing business, fund internal growth, repurchase our stock, make
acquisitions, pay dividends and meet our debt obligations. Our financial projections are based, among other
things, on historical experience, various other estimates and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under
the circumstances and at the time they are made, and our actual results may differ materially from our financial
projections. Any material variation between our financial projections and our actual results may adversely affect
expectations regarding our future profitability and cash flow, which may impact our stock price.
General Risks
•
Our operating results have been, and could be in the future, adversely affected by natural disasters,
public health crises, political crises, or other catastrophic events, or unfavorable worldwide, regional
and local economic and financial market conditions.
Our operations, as well as the operations of our third-party manufacturers, suppliers and customers, may be
subject to disruption from a variety of causes, including a protracted economic downturn or recessionary
conditions, material shortages, inflation, financial difficulties, work stoppages, cyberattacks, and other
disruptions in information technology systems, demonstrations, political instability or uncertainty in the U.S. or
abroad, rising geopolitical tensions and hostilities (for example in the Middle East or between China and
Taiwan), disease outbreaks or pandemics (for example, an outbreak of a virus such as COVID-19), acts of war,
terrorism, fire, earthquakes, flooding or other natural disasters, disruptions in logistics, fuel and energy costs (for
example, the price of gasoline), loss or impairment of key manufacturing sites, supplier capacity constraints, raw
material and product quality or safety issues, industrial accidents or other occupational health and safety issues. If
a major disruption were to occur, it could result in harm to people or the natural environment, delays in
shipments of products to customers or suspension of operations.
Other financial uncertainties in our major markets and unstable geopolitical conditions in certain markets,
including civil unrest and governmental changes, could undermine global consumer confidence and reduce
consumers’ purchasing power, thereby reducing demand for our products. Restrictions on our ability to transfer
earnings or capital across borders, price controls, limitations on profits, retaliatory tariffs, import authorization
requirements and other restrictions on business activities which have been or may be imposed or expanded as a
result of political and economic instability, deterioration of economic relations between countries or otherwise,
could impact our profitability. In addition, U.S. trade sanctions against countries designated by the U.S.
government as state sponsors of terrorism and/or financial institutions accepting transactions for commerce
within such countries could increase significantly, which could make it impossible for us to continue to make
sales to customers in such countries. The imposition of retaliatory sanctions against U.S. multinational
corporations by countries that are or may become subject to U.S. trade sanctions, or the delisting of our branded
products by retailers in various countries in reaction to U.S. trade sanctions or other governmental action or
policy, could also negatively affect our business. On February 1, 2025, President Trump announced new tariffs
31

on imports from Canada, Mexico and China. These additional tariffs, as well as a government’s adoption of “buy
national” policies or retaliation by another government against such tariffs or policies, as well as the potential
impact of changed purchasing decisions of consumers and retailers in these or other countries in response to
these policies, have introduced significant uncertainty into the market and may affect the prices of and demand
for our products, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operations. Ongoing political uncertainty in many countries, and we have experienced, and expect to continue
to experience, the indirect impacts of the conflict in Ukraine and increased hostilities and political volatility in
the Middle East, including increases in the cost of raw and packaging materials and commodities (including the
price of oil), supply chain and logistics challenges and foreign currency volatility, and it is not possible to predict
the broader or longer-term consequences of this conflict or the sanctions imposed to date. Increasing natural
disasters in connection with climate change could also be a direct threat to our third-party vendors, service
providers or other stakeholders, including disruptions of supply chains or information technology or other
necessary services for our Company.
•
We rely significantly on information technology. Any inadequacy, interruption, theft or loss of data,
malicious attack, integration failure, failure to maintain the security, confidentiality or privacy of
sensitive data residing on our systems or other security failure of that technology could harm our
ability to effectively operate our business and damage the reputation of our brands.
We rely extensively on information technology systems, some of which are managed by third-party service
providers, to conduct our business. These systems include, but are not limited to, programs and processes relating
to internal communications and communications with other parties, ordering and managing materials from
suppliers, converting materials to finished products, shipping product to customers, billing customers and
receiving and applying payment, processing transactions, summarizing and reporting results of operations,
complying with regulatory, legal or tax requirements, collecting and storing customer, consumer, employee,
investor, and other stakeholder information and personal data, and other processes necessary to manage our
business. We sell certain of our products directly to consumers online and through websites, mobile apps and
connected devices, and we offer promotions, rebates, customer loyalty and other programs through which it may
receive personal information, and we or our vendors could experience cyber-attacks, privacy breaches, data
breaches or other incidents that may result in unauthorized access, disclosure and misuse of consumer, customer,
employee, vendor or Company information.
Increased information technology security threats and more sophisticated computer crime, including
ransomware attacks, misuse of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, denial of service and
phishing attacks and advanced persistent threats, pose a potential risk to the security of our information
technology systems, networks, and services, and those of our customers and other business partners, as well as
the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of our data, and the data of our customers and other business
partners. The rapid evolution and increased adoption of artificial intelligence technologies may intensify our
cybersecurity risks. As a result, our information technology systems, networks or service providers could be
damaged or cease to function properly or we could suffer a loss or disclosure of business, personal or stakeholder
information, due to any number of causes, including catastrophic events, power outages and security breaches.
Although we have business continuity plans in place and have implemented an incident response plan to address
cybersecurity incidents, if these plans do not provide effective alternative processes on a timely basis, we may
suffer interruptions in our ability to manage or conduct our operations which may adversely affect our business.
In addition, if our service providers, suppliers or customers experience a breach or unauthorized disclosure or
system failure, their businesses could be disrupted or otherwise negatively affected, which may result in a
disruption in our supply chain or reduced customer orders or other business operations. Moreover, any costs
related to a breach may exceed the amount of insurance coverage or be excluded under the terms of our
cybersecurity policy. As cyberattacks increase in frequency and magnitude, we may be unable to obtain
cybersecurity insurance in amounts and on terms we view as appropriate for our operations.
32

Our information technology systems and, our third-party providers’ systems, have been, and will likely
continue to be, subject to advanced computer viruses or other malicious codes, ransomware, unauthorized access
attempts, denial of service attacks, phishing, social engineering, hacking and other cyberattacks. These risks also
may be present to the extent any of our partners, distributors, joint venture partners or suppliers using separate
information systems, not integrated with our information systems, suffers a cybersecurity incident and could
result in increased costs related to their inability to timely deliver on their commitments to us and/or our
involvement in investigations or notifications conducted by these third parties. These risks may also be present to
the extent a business we have acquired that does not use our information systems, experiences a system
shutdown, service disruption, or cybersecurity incident. Due to the conflict in Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war,
there is a possibility that the escalation of tensions could result in cyberattacks that could either directly or
indirectly affect our operations. Such attacks may originate from nation states or attempts by outside parties,
hackers, criminal organizations or other threat actors. In addition, insider actors-malicious or otherwise-could
cause technical disruptions and/or confidential data leakage. To date, we have seen no material impact on our
business or operations from these attacks; however, we cannot guarantee that our security efforts will prevent
attacks and resulting breaches or breakdowns of our, or our third-party service providers’ databases or systems.
In recent periods, several of our peer or similarly situated companies have experienced cybersecurity
incidents. In addition, although we have policies and procedures in place governing cybersecurity risk, the secure
storage of personal information collected by us or our third-party service providers, data breaches due to human
error or intentional or unintentional conduct may occur in the future, especially as we have shifted to more
employees and other workers working remotely and having access to our technology infrastructure remotely.
We continuously perform enterprise-wide upgrades to our systems and will continue to monitor and upgrade
systems as appropriate, legacy systems may be vulnerable to increased risk. Additionally, if a new system does
not function properly, it could affect our ability to order supplies, process and deliver customer orders and
process and receive payments for our products. This could adversely impact our results of operations and cash
flows. Upgraded or new technology may not function as designed and any such upgrades may not go as planned.
Moreover, because the techniques, tools and tactics used in cyberattacks frequently change and may be difficult
to detect for periods of time, we may face difficulties in anticipating and implementing adequate preventative
measures or fully mitigating harms after such an attack. As such, we may need to expend additional resources
and incur additional costs in the future to continue to protect against or address problems caused by any business
interruptions or data security breaches. Cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated, are constantly evolving
and are being made by groups and individuals with a wide range of expertise and motives, and this increases the
difficulty of detecting and successfully defending against them. We have incurred, and will continue to incur,
expenses to comply with privacy and data protection standards and protocols imposed by law, regulation,
industry standards and contractual obligations. Increased regulation of data collection, use, and retention
practices, including self-regulation and industry standards, changes in existing laws and regulations, including
reporting requirements, enactment of new laws and regulations, increased enforcement activity, and changes in
interpretation of laws, could increase our cost of compliance and operation, limit our ability to grow our business
or otherwise harm our business.
•
We may not be able to attract, retain and develop key personnel.
The labor market in the United States is very competitive. Our future performance depends in significant
part upon the continued service of our executive officers and other key personnel, including at our plants.
Competition for qualified plant personnel remain intense. In 2024, we announced changes to our executive
leadership team, including that our Chief Financial Officer will assume the role of our new Chief Executive
Officer and that we will be appointing a new Chief Financial Officer and President of the U.S. business. The
inability to identify and hire qualified candidates for those roles or the unexpected loss of the services of one or
more executive officers, the failure to effectively manage executive succession planning, or the loss of other key
employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of
operations. This effect could be exacerbated if any officers or other key employees left as a group or at the same
33

time. Our success also depends, in part, on our continuing ability to attract, retain and develop a diverse and
highly qualified workforce. Competition for such talent remains, and there can be no assurance that we can retain
our key employees or attract, assimilate and retain other highly qualified personnel in the future, and the U.S.
labor market has experienced wage inflation, sustained labor shortages, and a shift towards remote work. Factors
that may affect our ability to attract and retain sufficient numbers of key employees include employee morale,
our reputation, competition from other employers and the availability of qualified personnel in a tightening labor
market. We experienced an increase in labor turnover in 2022 (21.5%) but saw this ease in 2023 (17.6%) and in
2024 (15%). We may continue to experience increased personnel turnover in the future compared to 2024, either
as a result of our business operations or other broad-based economic or cultural factors.
In addition, labor costs in the U.S. have risen in recent periods. Labor cost is one of the primary components
in the cost of operating our business. If we face labor shortages and increased labor costs as a result of increased
competition for employees, higher employee turnover rates, increases in employee benefits costs, or labor union
organizing efforts, our operating expenses could increase and our growth and results of operations could be
adversely impacted. Labor shortages, higher employee turnover rates and labor union organizing efforts could
also lead to disruptions in our business. We may be unable to increase prices of our products in order to pass
future increased labor costs onto our customers, in which case our margins would be negatively affected.
Additionally, if we increase product prices to cover increased labor costs, the higher prices could adversely affect
sales volumes.
•
Our continued growth and expansion, reliance on third-party service providers and implementation
of new accounting standards could adversely affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the U.S. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting
cannot provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or
detected. Our continuing growth and expansion in domestic and globally dispersed markets, such as our
acquisition of the ZICAM, THERABREATH, HERO and other businesses, may place significant additional
pressure on our system of internal control over financial reporting and require us to update our internal control
over financial reporting to integrate such acquisitions. Moreover, we engage the services of third parties to assist
with business operations and financial reporting processes, which injects additional monitoring obligations and
risk into the system of internal control, including as a result of cyberattacks. When we are required to comply
with new or revised accounting standards, we must make any appropriate changes to our internal control over
financial reporting to fully implement the standards, which may require significant effort and judgment. Any
failure to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting could limit our ability to report
our results of operations accurately and on a timely basis, or to detect and prevent fraud and could expose us to
regulatory enforcement action and stockholder claims.
•
Our business could be negatively impacted as a result of stockholder activism, an unsolicited takeover
proposal or a proxy contest or short sellers.
In recent years, proxy contests, unsolicited takeovers and other forms of stockholder activism have been
directed against numerous companies in our industry, including us. If such a campaign or proposal were to be
made against us, we would likely incur significant costs. Stockholder activists may also seek to involve
themselves in the governance, strategic direction and operations of our business, or in our ESG and sustainability
management and disclosure, through stockholder proposals or otherwise disrupting our business and diverting the
attention of our management and employees, and any perceived uncertainties as to our future direction resulting
from such a situation could result in the loss of potential business opportunities, the perception that we need a
change in the direction of our business, or the perception that we are unstable or lack continuity, which may be
exploited by our competitors, cause concern to our current or potential customers, and may make it more difficult
34

for us to attract and retain qualified personnel and business partners. Actions of activist stockholders may cause
significant fluctuations in our stock price based on temporary or speculative market perceptions or other factors
that do not necessarily reflect the underlying fundamentals and prospects of our business. We may also be the
target of short sellers who engage in negative publicity campaigns that may use selective information that may be
presented out of context or that may misrepresent facts and circumstances.

ITEM 1C.CYBERSECURITY
Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy
We collect, use and store personal information of our employees, consumers and other third parties in the
ordinary course of business. In addition, we sell certain products directly to consumers online and through
websites, mobile apps and connected devices, and we offer promotions, rebates, loyalty and other programs
through which our data systems may receive personal information. We recognize the importance of data privacy
and security and are committed to safeguarding and protecting our information and any other information
entrusted to us. We have developed and implemented a cybersecurity risk management program intended to
protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our critical systems and information which is integrated
with our overall risk management program. Our cybersecurity risk management program includes a cybersecurity
incident response plan to respond to security breaches and cyberattacks. Our cybersecurity incident response plan
is part of our overall Information Security Program, which is led by the Company’s Vice President, Global Chief
Information Security Officer (“CISO”) and overseen by the Company’s Executive Vice President, Global Chief
Information Officer, and is designed to protect and preserve the confidentiality, integrity and continued
availability of all information owned by, or in the care of, the Company, and the Company’s ability to operate.
Our cybersecurity incident response plan includes controls and procedures for timely and accurate reporting of
any material cybersecurity incident. We design and assess our program based on the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF).
Our cybersecurity risk management program includes:
•
risk assessments designed to help identify material cybersecurity risks to our critical systems,
information, products, services, and our global enterprise IT environment;
•
a security team responsible for managing our (1) cybersecurity risk assessment processes, (2) security
controls, and (3) response to security breaches and cyberattacks;
•
the use of external service providers, where appropriate, to assess, perform tabletop exercises or
otherwise assist with aspects of our security controls and designed to anticipate cyberattacks and
respond to breaches, including a biennial maturity assessment of our program by an external third-
party;
•
cybersecurity awareness training of our employees and contractors, incident response personnel, and
senior management to help them better understand the issues and risks relative to cybersecurity, as well
as data privacy (for our employees);
•
Periodically throughout the year, our IT department performs phishing and other exercises to both test
our systems and reinforce training of our personnel;
•
a cybersecurity incident response plan managed by our CISO that includes procedures for responding
to cybersecurity incidents and is designed to protect and preserve the confidentiality, integrity and
continued availability of all information possessed by the Company;
35

•
policies to establish requirements for protecting information assets and defining acceptable behaviors
to ensure compliance, mitigate risks, prevent unauthorized access, and foster a culture of security
awareness and accountability, thereby enhancing the organization’s overall security posture; and
•
a third-party risk management process for service providers, suppliers, and vendors.
We have not identified risks from known cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior
cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including
our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or cash flows.
Cybersecurity Governance
Our Board considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function and has delegated to the Audit
Committee oversight of cybersecurity and other information technology risks. The Audit Committee oversees
management’s implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program, including reviewing risk
assessments from management with respect to our information technology systems and procedures, and
overseeing our cybersecurity risk management processes.
The Audit Committee, which is tasked with oversight of certain risk issues, including cybersecurity,
receives reports from the Executive Vice President, Global Chief Information Officer and the Vice President,
Chief Information Security Officer each quarter. At least annually, the Board of Directors and the Audit
Committee also receive updates about the results of exercises and response readiness assessments led by outside
advisors who provide a third-party independent assessment of our technical program and our internal response
preparedness. The Audit Committee regularly briefs the full Board of Directors on these matters, and the full
Board also receives periodic briefings regarding our Information Security Program and cyber threats, including
threats faced by our peers, in order to enhance our directors’ literacy on cyber issues. In addition, management
will update the Audit Committee, as necessary, regarding cybersecurity incidents, that we may experience.
Our management team, including our Global Chief Information Officer, is responsible for assessing and
managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats. The team has primary responsibility for our overall
cybersecurity risk management program and oversees both our internal cybersecurity personnel and our retained
external cybersecurity consultants. Our management team’s cybersecurity risk management is led by our CISO,
who has significant experience across digital innovation and technology-enabled growth, information security,
infrastructure, operations and compliance.
Our management team supervises efforts to prevent, detect, mitigate, and remediate cybersecurity risks and
incidents through various means, which include briefings from internal security personnel; threat intelligence and
other information obtained from governmental, law enforcement, public or private sources, including external
consultants engaged by us; and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in the IT environment.
ITEM 2.
PROPERTIES
We lease a corporate office building in Ewing, New Jersey for our global corporate headquarters. The lease
expires in 2033 and includes two 10-year extension terms at our option. In addition, we own an office building in
Fort Collins, Colorado that is occupied by Waterpik and an office building in Princeton, New Jersey that is
occupied by our research and development department.
We own or lease manufacturing facilities, warehouses and other offices in 16 different U.S. states and 12
different countries outside of the U.S. Many of our domestic and international sites manufacture and distribute
products for multiple segments of our business. We believe that our operating and administrative facilities are
adequate and suitable for the conduct of our business. We also believe that our production facilities are suitable
for current manufacturing requirements for our consumer and specialty products businesses.

ITEM 3.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We, in the ordinary course of our business are the subject of, or party to, various pending or threatened legal
actions, government investigations and proceedings from time to time, including, without limitation, those
relating to commercial transactions, product liability, purported consumer class actions, employment matters,
antitrust, environmental, health, safety and other compliance related matters. Such proceedings are subject to
many uncertainties and the outcome of certain pending or threatened legal actions may not be reasonably
predictable and any related damages may not be estimable. Certain legal actions could result in an adverse
outcome for us, and any such adverse outcome could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations, and cash flows. There are no relevant matters to disclose under this Item for this

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in
conjunction with our consolidated financial statements.
OVERVIEW
Our Business
We develop, manufacture and market a broad range of consumer household, personal care and specialty
products. Our well-recognized brands include ARM & HAMMER® baking soda, cat litter, laundry detergent,
carpet deodorizer and other baking soda-based products; OXICLEAN® stain removers, cleaning solutions,
laundry detergents and bleach alternatives; VITAFUSION® and L’IL CRITTERS® gummy dietary supplements
for adults and children, respectively; BATISTE® dry shampoo; WATERPIK® water flossers and showerheads;
THERABREATH® oral care products; HERO® acne treatment products; TROJAN condoms, lubricants and
vibrators; SPINBRUSH battery-operated toothbrushes; FIRST RESPONSE home pregnancy and ovulation test
kits; NAIR depilatories; ORAJEL oral analgesic; XTRA laundry detergent; and ZICAM cold shortening and
relief products. Seven of those brands are designated as “power brands” because they compete in large
categories, and we believe they have the potential for significant global expansion. Those seven brands are
ARM & HAMMER®; OXICLEAN®; VITAFUSION® and L’IL CRITTERS®; BATISTE®; WATERPIK®;
THERABREATH®; and HERO® and represent approximately 70% of our net sales and profits.
We sell our consumer products under a variety of brands through a broad distribution platform that includes
supermarkets, mass merchandisers, wholesale clubs, drugstores, convenience stores, home stores, dollar, pet and
other specialty stores and websites and other e-commerce channels, all of which sell the products to consumers.
We sell our specialty products to industrial and commercial customers, livestock producers and through
distributors.
We operate our business in three segments: Consumer Domestic, Consumer International and the Specialty
Products Division (“SPD”). The segments are based on differences in the nature of products sold and
management organizational structures. In 2024, the Consumer Domestic, Consumer International and SPD
segments represented approximately 77%, 18% and 5%, respectively, of our consolidated net sales.
Recent Developments
Pillar Two Tax Laws
In October 2021, members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”)
agreed to a global minimum tax rate of 15%. In December 2021, OECD published its model rules on the agreed
minimum tax known as the Global Anti-Base Erosion (“GloBE”) or Pillar Two rules. The Pillar Two rules are
designed to be implemented into the domestic law of each jurisdiction to ensure large multinational enterprise
groups are subject to a minimum effective tax rate of 15% in each jurisdiction where they operate. In December
2022, the European Union (“EU”) Member States formally adopted the EU’s Pillar Two Directive. January 1,
2024 marked the official effective date of the 15% global corporate minimum tax imposed by the EU’s Pillar
Two Directive. We are monitoring developments and evaluating the impacts of the Pillar Two rules on our tax
rate. Based on current legislation and available guidance, we do not anticipate a material impact to the Company.

Sale of MEGALAC supplement portfolio
During the first quarter of 2024, we exited the MEGALAC supplement portion of our Animal Nutrition
business within our SPD segment. Net sales for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $7.6 and
$38.1, respectively.
Graphico Acquisition
On June 3, 2024, we acquired substantially all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of
Graphico, Inc. (“Graphico”), a Japan-based distributor focused on consumer goods primarily in the Japanese
market (the “Graphico Acquisition”). We paid $19.9, net of cash acquired, at closing. We acquired the remaining
minority shares for approximately $2.0 in July 2024. The Graphico Acquisition was financed with cash on hand,
is expected to contribute to greater expansion of our business in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, and is managed
in the Consumer International segment.
Sale of Passport Food Safety Business
During the second quarter of 2024, we sold our Passport food safety business, Passport Food Safety
Solutions, Inc., with assets of $7.0, inclusive of intangible assets of $2.7 and corresponding goodwill of $1.0, for
cash proceeds of $6.6 and $0.5 held in escrow for a gain of $0.1. Net sales for the years ended December 31,
2024 and 2023 were $6.4 and $13.0, respectively.
Favorable Tariff Ruling
During the second quarter of 2024, we received a favorable tariff ruling from the U.S. government
associated with certain products imported from China, which resulted in $40.1 of cash refunds (pre tax) in the
year ended December 31, 2024. The refunds resulted in a $31.6 reduction of Cost of goods sold and an increase
in Interest income of $4.8 in the year ended December 31, 2024.
Vitamin Business Intangible Impairment
During the third quarter of 2024, the Company continued to experience a decline in market share and a
deterioration in the financial performance for its Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements (“VMS”) business, which
includes the VITAFUSION and L’IL CRITTERS trade name, primarily due to significant product competition
coming from new category entrants, including private label. The continued decline in profitability caused
management to reassess its long-term strategy and financial outlook of the business. The revised financial
outlook reflects lower estimates of future sales growth and cash flows which resulted in a triggering event in the
third quarter. The triggering event required the Company to review the carrying value of assets supporting the
business resulting in impairment charges of $357.1 in the year ended December 31, 2024.
Sale of 50% Ownership in Joint Venture
The Company’s 50% interest in The ArmaKleen Company was sold to our joint venture partner in October
of 2024. The transaction is not material to the Company’s results of operations or cash flows.
Dividend Increase
On January 29, 2025, the Board declared a 4% increase in the regular quarterly dividend from $0.28375 to $
0.295 per share (equivalent to an annual dividend of $1.18 per share) payable to stockholders of record as of
February 14, 2025. The increase raises the annualized dividend payout from $277.0 to approximately $287.0 on
an annualized basis.

2024 Financial Highlights
Key 2024 financial results include:
•
Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2024 grew 4.1% over 2023, with gains in Consumer
Domestic and Consumer International, partially offset by lower sales in SPD. The gains are primarily
due to favorable volumes, and pricing/product mix across all three segments, including the benefit of
recent acquisitions in Consumer Domestic and Consumer International, partially offset by the exit of
product lines in SPD and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates in Consumer International.
•
Gross margin increased 160 basis points to 45.7% in 2024 from 44.1% in 2023, which includes an
approximate 50 basis point benefit from a favorable tariff ruling. Excluding the tariff ruling gross
margin increased due to the positive impact of productivity programs, favorable price/volume/mix, and
business acquisition benefits, offset by higher manufacturing costs including labor and higher
commodities.
•
Operating margin decreased 470 basis points to 13.3% in 2024 from 18.0% in 2023. The 2024
operating margin includes a non-cash charge of $357.1 or 580 basis points related to the impairment of
the VITAFUSION and L’IL CRITTERS indefinite-lived trade name as well as a definite-lived
customer relationship intangible asset and PP&E specific to the VMS business. Excluding the
impairment charge, operating margin increased 110 basis points due to favorable gross margins,
slightly offset by higher marketing expenses.
•
We reported diluted net earnings per share in 2024 of $2.37, a decrease of approximately 22.3% from
2023 diluted net earnings per share of $3.05. Earnings per share in 2024 includes the non-cash VMS
trade name and other asset impairment charges of $1.10 per share. Excluding the impairment charges,
2024 diluted net earnings per share was $3.47 compared to 2023 diluted earnings per share of $3.05.
•
Cash provided by operations was $1,156.2 in 2024, a $125.6 increase from the prior year primarily due
to an increase in cash earnings (net income adjusted for non-cash items).
•
We returned $277.0 in 2024 to our stockholders through cash dividends paid.
Strategic Goals, Challenges and Initiatives
Our ability to generate sales depends on consumer demand for our products and retail customers’ decisions
to carry our products, which are, in part, affected by general economic conditions in our markets. While a vast
majority of our products are consumer staples and less vulnerable to decreases in discretionary spending than
other products, certain of our products, are more likely to be affected by consumer decisions to control spending.
Some retail customers have responded to economic conditions by increasing their private label offerings
(primarily in the dietary supplements, stain fighters, diagnostic kits and oral analgesics categories), launching
their own brands, and consolidating the product selections they offer to the top few leading brands in each
category. In addition, an increasing portion of our product categories are being sold by club stores, dollar stores,
mass merchandisers and internet-based retailers. These factors have placed downward pressure on our sales and
gross margins.
We intend to continue to aggressively pursue several key strategic initiatives: maintain competitive
marketing and trade spending, tightly control our cost structure, expand our online market share by continuing to
invest in e-commerce (global on-line sales were 21.4% of consumer sales in 2024), expand our presence and
product offerings to consumers outside of the United States, continue to develop and launch new and
differentiated products, pursue strategic acquisitions, continue to grow our product sales globally and maintain an
offering of premium and value brand products to appeal to a wide range of consumers. Our global product
portfolio consists of both premium (64% of total worldwide consumer revenue in 2024) and value (36% of total
43

CHURCH & DWIGHT CO., INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Dollars in millions, except share and per share data)
worldwide consumer revenue in 2024) brands, which we believe enables us to succeed in a range of economic
environments. We intend to continue to develop a portfolio of appealing new products to build loyalty among
cost-conscious consumers. We derive a substantial percentage of our revenues from sales of liquid laundry
detergent. We continue to evaluate and vigorously address pressures on this business through, among other
things, new product introductions and increased marketing and trade spending.
Over the past two decades, we have diversified from an almost exclusively U.S. business to a global
company with approximately 18% of sales derived from countries outside of the United States in 2024, and we
believe ongoing international expansion represents a significant opportunity to grow our business. We have
subsidiary operations in eight countries (Canada, Mexico, U.K., France, Germany, China, Australia, and Japan).
We also export products to over 130 other countries through our Global Markets Group using a broad network of
third-party distributors. In 2024, we benefited from our expanded global footprint and expect to continue to focus
on selectively expanding our global business.
We also continue to focus on controlling our costs. Historically, we have been able to mitigate the effects of
cost increases primarily by implementing cost reduction programs and, to a lesser extent, by passing along cost
increases to customers. We have also entered into set pricing and pre-buying arrangements with certain suppliers
and hedge agreements for diesel fuel and other commodities. Additionally, our focus on tight cost controls has
enabled us to effectively navigate challenging economic conditions. However, the current domestic and
international political environment, including existing and potential changes to U.S. policies related to global
trade and tariffs, including tariffs imposed by other countries in response to or in anticipation of U.S. tariffs, have
resulted in uncertainty regarding the global economy and with respect to our operations and costs.
The identification and integration of strategic acquisitions are an important component of our overall
strategy and product category diversification. Acquisitions have added significantly to our sales, profits and
product category diversification over the last decade. This is evidenced by our 2015 acquisition of certain assets
of Varied Industries Corporation (the “Vi-cor Acquisition”), the 2016 acquisitions of Spencer Forrest, Inc., the
maker of TOPPIK (the “Toppik Acquisition”), and the ANUSOL and RECTINOL businesses from Johnson &
Johnson (the “Anusol Acquisition”), the 2017 acquisitions of the VIVISCAL brand from Lifes2Good Holdings
Limited (the “Viviscal Acquisition”), and the WATERPIK brand from Pik Holdings, Inc. (the “Waterpik
Acquisition”), the 2020 acquisition of the ZICAM brand from Consumer Health Holdco LLC, the 2021
acquisition of the THERABREATH brand from Dr. Harold Katz, LLC and HK-IP International, Inc, 2022
acquisition of the HERO brand which includes the MIGHTY PATCH acne treatment products and 2024
acquisition of Graphico, Inc. (the “Graphico Acquisition”), a Japan-based distributor. We actively seek
acquisitions that fit our guidelines, and our strong financial position provides us with flexibility to take advantage
of acquisition opportunities. In addition, our ability to quickly integrate acquisitions and leverage existing
infrastructure has enabled us to establish a strong track record in making accretive acquisitions. Since 2001, we
have acquired six of our seven “power brands.”
We believe we are well positioned to meet the ongoing challenges described above due to our strong
financial condition, experience operating in challenging environments and continued focus on key strategic
initiatives. Our focus is to maintain competitive marketing and trade spending, manage our cost structure,
continue to develop and launch new and differentiated products, while pursuing strategic acquisitions. This focus,
together with the strength of our portfolio of premium and value brands, has enabled us to succeed in a range of
economic environments. Moreover, the generation of a significant amount of cash from operations provides us
with the financial flexibility to pursue acquisitions, drive new product development, make capital expenditures to
support organic growth and gross margin improvements, return cash to stockholders through dividends and share
buy backs, and reduce outstanding debt. These factors position us to continue to increase stockholder value over
the long-term.

For information regarding risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, results
of operations and financial condition and cash flows, see “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this Annual Report.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the U.S. (US GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and
related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. By their nature, these judgments are subject to uncertainty.
They are based on our historical experience, our observation of trends in industry, information provided by our
customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Our significant accounting
policies and estimates are described below.
Revenue Recognition and Promotional and Sales Return Reserves
Virtually all of our revenue represents sales of finished goods inventory and is recognized when received or
picked up by our customers. The reserves for consumer and trade promotion liabilities and sales returns are
established based on our best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims on products
sold as of the balance sheet date. Promotional reserves are provided for sales incentives, such as coupons to
consumers, and sales incentives provided to customers (such as slotting, cooperative advertising, incentive
discounts based on volume of sales and other arrangements made directly with customers). All such costs are
netted against sales. Slotting costs are recorded when the product is delivered to the customer. Cooperative
advertising costs are recorded when the customer places the advertisement for our products. Discounts relating to
price reduction arrangements and coupons are recorded when the related sale takes place. Costs associated with
end-aisle or other in-store displays are recorded when product that is subject to the promotion is sold. We rely on
historical experience and forecasted data to determine the required reserves. For example, we use historical
experience to project coupon redemption rates to determine reserve requirements. Based on the total face value
of Consumer Domestic coupons redeemed over the past several years, if the actual rate of redemptions were to
deviate by 0.1% from the rate for which reserves are accrued in the financial statements, a difference of
approximately $0.1 in the reserve required for coupons would result. With regard to other promotional reserves
and sales returns, we use experience-based estimates, customer and sales organization inputs and historical trend
analysis in arriving at the reserves required. If our estimates for promotional activities and sales returns reserves
were to change by 10%, the impact to promotional spending and sales return accruals would be approximately
$14.7. While management believes that its promotional and sales returns reserves are reasonable and that
appropriate judgments have been made, estimated amounts could differ materially from actual future obligations.
Impairment of goodwill, trade names and other intangible assets
The Company has intangible assets of substantial value on its consolidated balance sheet. Intangible assets
relate to intangible assets with a useful life, indefinite-lived trade names and goodwill. The Company determines
whether an intangible asset (other than goodwill) has a useful life based on multiple factors, including how long
the Company intends to generate cash flows from the asset.
Intangible assets with a useful life are assessed for impairment when there are business triggering events.
Carrying values of goodwill and indefinite-lived trade names are reviewed at least annually for possible
impairment.
Our impairment analysis is based on a discounted cash flow approach that requires significant judgment
with respect to unit volume, revenue and expense growth rates, and the selection of an appropriate discount rate
45

CHURCH & DWIGHT CO., INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Dollars in millions, except share and per share data)
and royalty rate. Management uses estimates based on expected trends in making these assumptions. With
respect to goodwill, impairment occurs when the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the discounted
present value of cash flows for that reporting unit. For trade names and other intangible assets, an impairment
charge is recorded for the difference between the carrying value and the net present value of estimated future
cash flows, which represents the estimated fair value of the asset. Fair value for indefinite-lived intangible assets
is estimated based on a “relief from royalty” or “excess earnings” discounted cash flow method, which contains
numerous variables that are subject to change as business conditions change, and therefore could impact fair
values in the future. Judgment is required in assessing whether assets may have become impaired between annual
valuations. Indicators such as unexpected adverse economic factors, unanticipated technological change,
distribution losses, or competitive activities and acts by governments and courts may indicate that an asset has
become impaired.
The result of our annual goodwill impairment test determined that the estimated fair value substantially
exceeded the carrying values of all reporting units. We determined that the fair value of all indefinite-lived
intangible assets for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, exceeded their
respective carrying values based upon the forecasted cash flows and profitability, with the exception of our VMS
business described below.
During the third quarter of 2024, we continued to experience a decline in market share and a deterioration in
the financial performance of our VMS business, which includes the VITAFUSION and L’IL CRITTERS trade
name, primarily due to significant product competition coming from new category entrants, including private
label. The continued decline in profitability caused management to reassess its long-term strategy and financial
outlook of the business. The revised financial outlook reflects lower estimates of future sales growth and cash
flows which resulted in a triggering event in the third quarter. The triggering event required the Company to
review the carrying value of assets supporting the business. The assets supporting the VMS business include the
VITAFUSION and L’IL CRITTERS indefinite-lived trade name, a definite-lived customer relationship
intangible asset and PP&E specific to our VMS business.
We used an excess earnings discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of the trade name. The
assumptions used in the model require significant judgement in determining the expected future cash flows. The
key assumptions utilized in our impairment analysis included, but were not limited to, net sales growth rates
between -15.2% and 2.1%, EBITA margins in the low single digits, and a discount rate of 8.25%. Estimates are
based on market conditions and management’s current expectation of the success of growth and profitability
initiatives. The valuation resulted in a full impairment of the $281.3 trade name and a $15.8 impairment for the
remaining carrying value of the customer relationship intangible asset. The remaining carry value of both the
trade name and customer relationship intangible asset at December 31, 2024 is $0.0.
Our global WATERPIK business has continued to experience a significant decline in customer demand for
many of its products, primarily due to lower consumer spending for discretionary products resulting in part from
inflation and a growing number of water flosser consumers switching to more value-branded products. As a
result, the WATERPIK business has experienced declining sales and profits resulting in a reduction in expected
future cash flows which have eroded a substantial portion of the excess between the fair and carrying value of the
trade name. This indefinite-lived intangible asset may be susceptible to impairment and a continued decline in
fair value could trigger a future impairment charge of the WATERPIK trade name. While management can and
has implemented strategies to address the risk, significant changes in operating plans or adverse changes in the
future could reduce the underlying cash flows used to estimate fair values and could result in a decline in fair
value that could trigger future impairment charges of these assets. The carrying value of the WATERPIK trade
name is $644.7 and fair value represented 135% of the carrying value as of October 1, 2024. The fair value
represented 109% of the carrying value as of October 1, 2023. The increase in fair value is mainly attributable to
a favorable tariff ruling on certain Waterpik products imported from China.

In the fourth quarter of 2022, we determined that a review of our ability to recover the carrying values of the
global FINISHING TOUCH FLAWLESS intangible assets was necessary based on the discontinuance of certain
products at a major retailer. The FINISHING TOUCH FLAWLESS assets consist of the definite-lived trade
name, customer relationships and technology assets recorded at acquisition. We evaluated our ability to recover
the carrying values of the intangible assets by comparing the carrying amount to the future undiscounted cash
flows and determined that the cash flows would not be sufficient to recover the carrying value of the assets. After
determining the estimated fair value of the assets, which included a reduction in cash flows due to the loss of
distribution mentioned above along with an expected continued decline in discretionary consumption and higher
interest rates, a non-cash impairment charge of $411.0 was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2022. The remaining
net book value of the trade name as of December 31, 2024 is $15.4 and will be amortized over a remaining useful
life of one year.
It is possible that our conclusions regarding impairment or recoverability of goodwill or other intangible
assets could change in future periods if, for example, (i) the businesses or brands do not perform as projected,
(ii) overall economic conditions in future years vary from current assumptions (including changes in discount
rates and tariffs), (iii) business conditions or strategies change from current assumptions, (iv) investors require
higher rates of return on equity investments in the marketplace or (v) enterprise values of comparable publicly
traded companies, or actual sales transactions of comparable companies, were to decline, resulting in lower
multiples of revenues and EBITDA. A future impairment charge for goodwill or intangible assets could have a
material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized to reflect the future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to
taxable income in the years in which the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Management
provides a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets for amounts which are not considered “more likely
than not” to be realized. We record liabilities for potential assessments in various tax jurisdictions under U.S.
GAAP guidelines. The liabilities relate to tax return positions that, although supportable by us, may be
challenged by the tax authorities and do not meet the minimum recognition threshold required under applicable
accounting guidance for the related tax benefit to be recognized on the income statement. We adjust this liability
as a result of changes in tax legislation, interpretations of laws by courts, guidance and rulings issued by tax
authorities, changes in estimates and the expiration of the statute of limitations. Many of the judgments involved
in adjusting the liability involve assumptions and estimates that are highly uncertain and subject to change. In
this regard, settlement of any issue, or an adverse determination in litigation, with a taxing authority could
require the use of cash and result in an increase in our annual effective tax rate. Conversely, favorable resolution
of an issue with a taxing authority would be recognized as a reduction to our annual effective tax rate.

Gross Profit
Our gross profit for 2024 was $2,790.1, a $201.6 increase compared to 2023. Gross margin was 45.7% in
2024 compared to 44.1% in 2023, a 160 basis points (“bps”) increase. The increase is due to the positive impact
of productivity programs of 140 bps, favorable price/volume/mix of 100 bps, a favorable tariff ruling of 50 bps,
and benefits from the Graphico Acquisition of 10 bps, offset by the impact of higher manufacturing costs
including labor and commodities of 140 bps.
Operating Costs
Marketing expenses for 2024 were $698.1, an increase of $56.8 compared to 2023. Marketing expenses as a
percentage of net sales increased 50 bps to 11.4% in 2024 as compared to 2023 due to 90 bps on higher expense
primarily from increased marketing spend to support new product introductions, offset by 40 bps of leverage on
higher net sales.
SG&A expenses for 2024 were $927.8, a decrease of $38.0 or 4.3% compared to 2023. SG&A as a
percentage of net sales was 15.2% in 2024 and 2023. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was flat compared to
2023, as expenses were higher by 60 bps, primarily due to growth investments in our international division,
Research and Development (“R&D”) and Information Technology (“IT”), and the Graphico acquisition, offset by
60 bps of leverage associated with higher sales.
Nonoperating Expenses
Trade name and other asset impairment charges were $357.1 million in 2024 related to non-cash charges to
adjust the carrying value of intangible assets and property, plant, and equipment related to the VMS business.
The impairment was due to a continued decline in market share and a deterioration in the financial performance
for the VMS business, which includes the VITAFUSION and L’IL CRITTERS trade name, primarily due to
significant product competition coming from new category entrants, including private label. See Note 7,
“Goodwill and Other Intangibles, Net” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for additional
information.
Interest income was $26.3 in 2024, an increase of $13.3 as compared to 2023, due to higher interest income
primarily associated with higher cash balances.
Interest expense in 2024 was $95.0, a decrease of $15.9 primarily due to lower average outstanding debt.
Other income increased $9.6 in 2024 as compared to 2023 primarily due to the sale of our 50% interest in
Armakleen to our joint venture partner.
Taxation
The 2024 effective income tax rate was 22.6% compared to 21.9% in 2023. The increase in the rate is due to
lower stock option benefits related to executive compensation and other non-recurring tax items.

vitamins, FINISHING TOUCH FLAWLESS® hair removal products, and WATERPIK® Shower Heads.
Consumer Domestic income from operations for 2024 was $684.9, a $244.8 decrease as compared to 2023.
The decrease is due to the VMS non-cash intangible and PP&E impairment charges of $327.4. Excluding the
non-cash impairment charges, Consumer Domestic income from operations increased by $82.6 driven by higher
sales volumes of $77.2, the benefit of productivity programs of $75.6, favorable price/mix of $22.9, and a
favorable tariff ruling of $31.6, partially offset by higher manufacturing and distribution expenses of $62.5,
higher SG&A expenses of $32.6 from growth investments, and higher marketing expenses of $29.0.

We exited the MEGALAC supplement portion of the Animal Nutrition business in the first quarter of 2024
and sold the Passport food safety business in the second quarter of 2024.
Net sales excluding product line divestitures increased in the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily due
to growth in our animal nutrition and specialty chemicals segments.
SPD income from operations was $39.1 in 2024, an increase of $15.6 compared to 2023. The increase in
income from operations for 2024 is due to favorable price/mix of $9.1, higher sales volumes of $3.4, lower
SG&A costs of $9.1 primarily from product line exits, and lower marketing expenses of $1.4, partially offset by
the gross margin impact of product line exits of $7.1, and unfavorable manufacturing costs of $0.4.
Corporate
Corporate includes administrative costs of the production, planning and logistics functions which are
reported as Cost of Sales in our Consolidated Statements of Income but are allocated to the operating segments in
SG&A expenses to determine segment income from operations. Such amounts were $67.9, $60.4 and $34.3 for
2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in 2023 compared to 2022 is primarily due to higher incentive
compensation costs.
Also included in corporate are the equity in earnings of affiliates from Armand and ArmaKleen, totaling
$9.1, $8.7 and $12.3 for the three years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In October 2024,
the Company sold its 50% interest in ArmaKleen to our joint venture partner.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On June 16, 2022, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that provides for our
$1,500.0 unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) that matures on June 16, 2027,
unless extended. We have the ability to increase our borrowing up to an additional $750.0, subject to lender
commitments and certain conditions as described in the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Credit
Agreement are available for general corporate purposes and are used to support our $1,500.0 commercial paper
program.

CHURCH & DWIGHT CO., INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Dollars in millions, except share and per share data)
As of December 31, 2024, we had $964.1 in cash and cash equivalents, and approximately $1,494.0
available through the Revolving Credit Facility and our commercial paper program. To preserve our liquidity, we
invest cash primarily in government money market funds, prime money market funds, short-term commercial
paper and short-term bank deposits.
On October 31, 2022, we issued $500.0 aggregate principal amount of 5.60% Senior Notes due 2032 (the
“2032 Notes”). The proceeds from the sale of the 2032 Notes were used to repay commercial paper debt incurred
to finance the Hero Acquisition, and related fees and expenses. The 2032 Notes will mature on November 15,
2032, unless earlier retired or redeemed pursuant to the terms of the supplemental indenture governing the terms
of the 2032 Notes.
On June 2, 2022, we issued $500.0 aggregate principal amount of 5.00% Senior Notes due 2052 (the “2052
Notes”).
In July 2022 a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the 2052 Notes were used to repay all of our
outstanding $300.0 2.45% Senior Notes due August 1, 2022. The 2052 Notes will mature on June 15, 2052,
unless earlier retired or redeemed pursuant to the terms of the supplemental indenture governing the terms of the
2052 Notes.
In October 2022, we repaid all of the outstanding $400.0 2.875% Senior notes due October 1, 2022 with a
portion of the proceeds from the 2052 Notes and cash on hand.
On December 22, 2021, we entered into a $400.0 unsecured term loan facility (as amended on June 16,
2022, the “Term Loan Facility”) with various banks. The loan under the Term Loan Facility (the “Term Loan”)
was fully drawn at closing. The Term Loan was due on December 22, 2024. The interest rate was the Secured
Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a spread and an applicable margin based on the Company’s credit
rating, which can range from 60 basis points to 125 bps. The proceeds of the Term Loan were used to partially
fund the TheraBreath Acquisition, with the remaining proceeds used for the repayment of commercial paper. In
2023, we repaid $200.0 of the Term Loan with cash on hand and commercial paper borrowings.
In the first
quarter of 2024, we repaid the remaining $200.0 of the Term Loan with cash on hand.
Additionally, we financed the TheraBreath Acquisition with a portion of the proceeds from an underwritten
public offering of $400.0 aggregate principal amount of 2.3% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”)
completed on December 10, 2021. The 2031 Notes will mature on December 15, 2031, unless earlier retired or
redeemed pursuant to the terms of the supplemental indenture governing the terms of the 2031 Notes.
We financed the Waterpik Acquisition with a portion of the proceeds from an underwritten public offering
of $1,425.0 aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes completed on July 25, 2017, consisting of $300.0
aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Senior Notes that were due in 2019 and have been fully repaid,
$300.0 aggregate principal amount of 2.45% Senior Notes that were due in 2022 and have been fully repaid,
$425.0 aggregate principal amount of 3.15% Senior Notes due 2027 and $400.0 aggregate principal amount of
3.95% Senior Notes due 2047.
In 2015, we initiated a Supply Chain Finance program (“SCF Program”). Under the SCF Program,
qualifying suppliers may elect to sell their receivables from us for early payment. Participating suppliers
negotiate their receivables sales arrangements directly with a third party. We are not party to those agreements
and do not have an economic interest in the supplier’s decision to sell their receivables. The SCF Program may
allow suppliers more favorable terms than they could secure on their own. The terms of our payment obligations
are not impacted by a supplier’s participation in the SCF Program. Our payment terms with suppliers are
consistent between suppliers that elect to participate in the SCF Program and those that do not participate. As a
result, the program does not have an impact to our average days outstanding.
53

CHURCH & DWIGHT CO., INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Dollars in millions, except share and per share data)
All amounts outstanding to suppliers participating in the SCF Program are recorded within Accounts
Payable in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the associated payments are included in operating activities
within our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The current economic environment presents risks that could have adverse consequences for our liquidity.
See the discussion of this and other risks under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this Annual Report. We continue to
manage all aspects of our business including, but not limited to, monitoring the financial health of our customers,
suppliers and other third-party relationships, implementing gross margin enhancement strategies and developing
new opportunities for growth. We do not anticipate that current economic conditions will adversely affect our
ability to comply with the financial covenant in the Credit Agreement because we currently are, and anticipate
that we will continue to be, in compliance with the maximum leverage ratio requirement under the Credit
Agreement.
On October 28, 2021, the Board authorized a new share repurchase program, under which we may
repurchase up to $1,000.0 in shares of Common Stock (the “2021 Share Repurchase Program”). The 2021 Share
Repurchase Program does not have an expiration. The 2021 Share Repurchase Program did not modify our
evergreen share repurchase program, authorized by the Board on January 29, 2014, under which we may
repurchase, from time to time, Common Stock to reduce or eliminate dilution associated with issuances of
Common Stock under its incentive plans.
As a result of our stock repurchases, there remains $658.9 of share repurchase availability under the 2021
Share Repurchase Program as of December 31, 2024.
On January 29, 2025, the Board declared a 4% increase in the regular quarterly dividend from $0.28375 to
$0.295 per share, equivalent to an annual dividend of $1.18 per share payable to stockholders of record as of
February 14, 2025. The increase raises the annual dividend payout from $277.0 to approximately $287.0 on an
annualized basis.
We anticipate that our cash from operations, together with our current borrowing capacity, will be sufficient
to fund our share repurchase programs to the extent implemented by management, pay debt and interest as it
comes due, pay dividends at the latest approved rate, and meet our capital expenditure program costs, which are
expected to be approximately $130.0 in 2025 including manufacturing capacity investments for Therabreath and
Sterimar and an ERP project. Cash, together with our current borrowing capacity, may be used for acquisitions
that would complement our existing product lines or geographic markets.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities – Our primary source of liquidity is our cash flow provided by
operating activities, which is dependent on the level of net income and changes in working capital. Our net cash
provided by operating activities in 2024 increased by $125.6 to $1,156.2 as compared to $1,030.6 in 2023

Our cash conversion cycle (defined as the sum of DSO plus DIO less DPO) at December 31, 2024, which is
calculated using a two period average method, increased one day from the prior year. The change in cash
conversion cycle is due to an increase in DSO primarily from a reduction in our accounts receivable factoring
program in response to higher interest rates, partially offset with a decrease in DIO mainly from a reduction in
inventory related to our discretionary brands and an increase in DPO primarily from agreeing to extended
payment terms with some vendors. We continue to focus on reducing our working capital requirements.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities – Net cash used in investing activities during 2024 was $183.3,
primarily reflecting property, plant and equipment additions of $179.8 and $19.9 for the Graphico Acquisition,
partially offset by $14.0 of proceeds from the sale of assets (including the ArmaKleen joint venture). Net cash
used in investing activities during 2023 was $234.3, primarily reflecting property, plant and equipment additions
of $223.5.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities – Net cash used in financing activities during the twelve months of
2024 was $343.4 reflecting $208.2 of net debt payments and $277.0 of cash dividend payments, partially offset
by $142.9 of proceeds from stock option exercises. Net cash used in financing activities during the twelve
months of 2023 was $725.6, reflecting $300.1 of treasury stock purchases, $266.5 of cash dividend payments and
$270.6 of net debt repayments, partially offset by $111.7 of proceeds from stock option exercises.
OTHER ITEMS
Market risk
Concentration of Risk
A group of four customers accounted for approximately 43% and 44% of consolidated net sales in 2024 and
2023, respectively. A group of four customers accounted for approximately 42% of consolidated net sales in
2022, of which a single customer (Walmart Inc. and its affiliates) accounted for approximately 23%, 23% and
24% in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Interest Rate Risk
We had outstanding total debt at December 31, 2024, of $2,204.6, net of debt issuance costs, all of which
has a fixed weighted average interest rate of 4.1%. From time to time the Company will enter into interest rate
lock agreements to hedge the risk of changes in the interest payments attributable to changes in the interest rate
associated with anticipated issuances of debt.

ITEM 8.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management of Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s
internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of
records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and
directors of the company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management evaluated the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. In
making this assessment, management used the framework established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework
(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). As a result
of this assessment and based on the criteria in the COSO framework, management has concluded that as of
December 31, 2024, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, has audited the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Their opinions on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting and on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and financial
statement schedule appear on pages 52 and 54 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Church & Dwight Co., Inc.
Ewing, New Jersey
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Church & Dwight Co., Inc. and subsidiaries
(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of income,
comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2024, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to
as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with the accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024,
based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 13, 2025,expressed an
unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with
the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that
respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial
statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to
accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging,
subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our
opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter
below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it
relates.
58

Trade Names and Other Intangibles, Net – Vitamins and Waterpik – Refer to Notes 1 and 7 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company owns trade names that are considered to have indefinite lives. These trade names are required to be
measured periodically for impairment.
During the third quarter of 2024, the Company continued to experience a decline in market share and
deterioration in the financial performance of its Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements (“VMS”) business, which
includes the VITAFUSION and L’IL CRITTERS trade name, primarily due to competition from new category
entrants, including private label. The continued decline in profitability caused management to reassess its long-
term strategy and financial outlook of the business. The revised financial outlook reflected lower estimates of
future sales growth and cash flow, which resulted in a triggering event. The triggering event required the
Company to evaluate its ability to recover the carrying value of the trade name by comparing the carrying value
of the trade name to its fair value. The valuation resulted in a full impairment of the $281.3 million
VITAFUSION and L’IL CRITTERS trade name as of September 30, 2024.
Additionally, the Company’s global WATERPIK business has continued to experience a decline in customer
demand for many of its products, primarily due to lower consumer spending for discretionary products and a
growing number of water flosser consumers switching to more value-branded products. As a result, the business
has experienced declining sales and profits resulting in a reduction in expected future cash flows, eroding a
substantial portion of the excess between the fair and carrying value of the trade name. The carrying value of the
WATERPIK trade name is $644.7 million and the fair value represented 135% of the carrying value as of
October 1, 2024.
Management estimates the fair value of these trade names based on an “excess earnings” discounted cash flow
method. The determination of fair value requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions
related to future performance, such as revenue growth rates, as well as the selection of appropriate valuation
assumptions, such as discount rates. Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on the fair
value of the trade names, leading to an impairment or a change in an identified impairment.
Given the significant judgments made by management to estimate the trade names’ fair value, performing audit
procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions related to the revenue
growth rates and the selection of the discount rates involved a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased
extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the determination of revenue growth rates and the selection of discount rates for
the trade names included the following, among others:
•
We tested the effectiveness of controls over the account balance, including those over the revenue
growth rates and the selection of the discount rates.
•
We evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast revenue growth by comparing actual
performance to management’s historical forecasts.
•
We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s forecasted revenue growth by comparing the
forecasts to:
–
Historical performance.
–
Internal communications to management and the Board of Directors.
–
Forecasted information included in analyst and industry reports for the Company and certain of its
peer companies.
59

•
With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the discount rates
by:
–
Testing the source information underlying the determination of the discount rates and the
mathematical accuracy of the calculation.
–
Developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the discount rates selected
by management.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Church & Dwight Co., Inc.
Ewing, New Jersey
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Church & Dwight Co., Inc. and subsidiaries (the
“Company”) as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework
(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our
opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by
COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024,
of the Company and our report dated February 13, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated
financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and
for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with
the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial
reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the
design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made
only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
61

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

CHURCH & DWIGHT CO., INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In millions, except share and per share data)
1.
Significant Accounting Policies
Business
The Company, founded in 1846, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of household, personal
care and specialty products focused on animal productivity, chemicals and cleaners. The Company sells its
consumer products under a variety of brands through a broad distribution platform that includes supermarkets,
mass merchandisers, wholesale clubs, drugstores, convenience stores, home stores, dollar, pet and other specialty
stores and websites and other e-commerce channels, all of which sell the products to consumers. The Company
also sells specialty products to industrial customers, livestock producers and through distributors.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“US GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its
majority-owned subsidiaries. Material subsequent events are evaluated and disclosed through the report issuance
date. For equity investments in which the Company does not control or have the ability to exert significant
influence over the investee, which generally is when the Company has less than a 20% ownership interest, the
investments are accounted for under the cost method. In circumstances where the Company has greater than a
20% ownership interest and has the ability to exercise significant influence over, but does not control, the
investee, the investment is accounted for under the equity method. As a result, the Company accounts for its 50%
interest in its Armand Products Company (“Armand”) joint venture and its 50% interest in The ArmaKleen
Company (“ArmaKleen”) joint venture under the equity method. The Company’s 50% interest in ArmaKleen
was sold to our joint venture partner in October of 2024. Armand and ArmaKleen are specialty chemical
businesses. The Company’s equity in earnings of Armand and ArmaKleen are included in the Corporate segment,
as described in Note 16.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent gains and
losses at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Management makes estimates regarding inventory valuation, promotional and sales returns reserves, the
carrying amount of goodwill and other intangible assets, the realization of deferred tax assets, tax reserves,
business acquisition liabilities, liabilities related to other postretirement benefit obligations and other matters that
affect the reported amounts and other disclosures in the financial statements. These estimates are based on
judgment and available information. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates, and it is possible
that changes in such estimates could occur in the near term.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when control of a promised good is transferred to a customer in an amount that
reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for that good. This usually
occurs when finished goods are delivered to the Company’s customers or when finished goods are picked up by a
customer or a customer’s carrier.
a. Nature of Goods and Services
The Company primarily ships finished goods to its customers and operates in three segments: Consumer
Domestic, Consumer International and Specialty Products Division (“SPD”). The segments are based on
68

CHURCH & DWIGHT CO., INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(In millions, except share and per share data)
differences in the nature of products and management organizational structures. The Consumer Domestic and
Consumer International segments market a variety of personal care, household and over-the-counter products,
including but not limited to baking soda, cat litter, laundry detergent, condoms, stain removers, hair removal,
gummy dietary supplements, dry shampoo, oral care, cold remedy, acne treatment, water flossers and
showerheads. The SPD segment focuses on sales to businesses and participates in three product areas: Animal
Nutrition, Specialty Chemicals and Commercial & Professional. The Company’s products are distinct and
separately identifiable on customer contracts or invoices, with each product sale representing a separate
performance obligation.
The Company sells consumer products under a variety of brands through a broad distribution platform that
includes supermarkets, mass merchandisers, wholesale clubs, drugstores, convenience stores, home stores, dollar,
pet and other specialty stores and websites and other e-commerce channels, all of which sell its products to
consumers. The Company sells its specialty products to industrial customers, livestock producers and through
distributors.
Refer to Note 17 for disaggregated revenue information with respect to each of the Company’s segments.
b. When Performance Obligations are Satisfied
For performance obligations related to the shipping and invoicing of products, control transfers at the point
in time upon which finished goods are delivered to the Company’s customers or when finished goods are picked
up by a customer or a customer’s carrier. Once a product has been delivered or picked up by the customer, the
customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the asset. The
Company considers control to have transferred upon delivery or customer receipt because the Company has an
enforceable right to payment at that time, the customer has legal title to the asset, the Company has transferred
physical possession of the asset, and the customer has significant risk and rewards of ownership of the asset.
c. Variable Consideration
The Company conducts extensive promotional activities, primarily through the use of off-list discounts,
slotting, coupons, cooperative advertising, periodic price reduction arrangements, and end-aisle and other in-store
displays. The costs of such activities are netted against sales and are recorded when the related sale takes place.
The reserves for sales returns and consumer and trade promotion liabilities are established based on the
Company’s best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle future and existing obligations for products sold as of
the balance sheet date. The Company uses historical trend experience and coupon redemption inputs in arriving
at coupon reserve requirements, and uses forecasted appropriations, customer and sales organization inputs, and
historical trend analysis in determining the reserves for other promotional activities and sales returns.
d. Practical Expedients
The Company expenses incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract (broker commissions) when the
related sale takes place. These costs are recorded in SG&A expenses in the accompanying consolidated
statements of income.
The Company accounts for shipping and handling costs as fulfillment activities which are therefore
recognized upon shipment of the goods.

(In millions, except share and per share data)
The Company has applied the portfolio approach to all open contracts as they have similar characteristics
and can reasonably expect that the effects on the financial statements of applying this guidance to the portfolio of
contracts would not differ materially from applying this guidance to the individual contracts within the portfolio.
The Company excludes from its revenue any amounts collected from customers for sales (and similar) taxes.
Sales of Accounts Receivable
The Company entered into a factoring agreement with a financial institution to sell certain customer
receivables at discounted rates in 2015. Transactions under this agreement are accounted for as sales of accounts
receivable and are removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheet at the time of the sales transaction. The level of
customers associated with the Company’s factoring program and the sales performance by those customers has
driven the amount factored each year. The total amount factored in each year was $105.9, $144.2, and $211.2
during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Cost of Sales, Marketing and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Cost of sales include costs related to the manufacture and distribution of the Company’s products, including
raw material, inbound freight, import duties and tariffs, direct labor (including employee compensation benefits)
and indirect plant costs such as plant supervision, receiving, inspection, maintenance labor and materials,
depreciation, taxes and insurance, purchasing, production planning, operations management, logistics, freight to
customers, warehousing costs, internal transfer freight costs and plant impairment charges.
Marketing expenses include costs for advertising (excluding the costs of cooperative advertising programs,
which are reflected in net sales), costs for coupon insertion (mainly the cost of printing and distribution),
consumer promotion costs (such as on-shelf advertisements and floor ads), public relations, package design
expense and market research costs.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses include, among others, costs related to functions
such as sales, corporate management, research and development, marketing administration, information
technology, finance and legal. Such costs include salary compensation related costs (such as benefits, incentive
compensation and profit sharing), stock based award costs, depreciation, travel and entertainment related
expenses, professional and other consulting fees and amortization of intangible assets.
Foreign Currency Translation
Unrealized gains and losses related to currency translation are recorded in Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Income (Loss). Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are recorded in the
Consolidated Statements of Income.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid short-term investments and term bank deposits, which mature
within three months of their original maturity date.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market (net realizable value, which reflects any costs to sell or
dispose). The Company identifies any slow moving, obsolete or excess inventory to determine whether an adjustment
is required to establish a new carrying value. The determination of whether inventory items are slow moving, obsolete
70

CHURCH & DWIGHT CO., INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(In millions, except share and per share data)
or in excess of needs requires estimates and assumptions about the future demand for the Company’s products,
technological changes, and new product introductions. Estimates as to the future demand used in the valuation of
inventory involve judgments regarding the ongoing success of the Company’s products. The Company evaluates its
inventory levels and expected usage on a periodic basis and records adjustments as required. Adjustments to reflect
inventory at net realizable value were $45.2 at December 31, 2024, and $52.5 at December 31, 2023.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, Plant and Equipment (“PP&E”) are stated at cost. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Estimated useful lives for building and
improvements, machinery and equipment, and office equipment range from 9-40, 3-20 and 3-10 years,
respectively. Routine repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred. Leasehold improvements are
depreciated over a period no longer than the respective lease term, except where a lease renewal has been
determined to be reasonably assured and failure to renew the lease results in a significant penalty to the
Company.
PP&E is reviewed annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that possible
impairment exists. The Company’s impairment review is based on an undiscounted cash flow analysis at the
lowest level at which cash flows of the long-lived assets are largely independent of other groups of Company
assets and liabilities. The analysis requires management judgment with respect to changes in technology, the
continued success of product lines, and future volume, revenue and expense growth rates. The Company
conducts annual reviews to identify idle and underutilized equipment, and reviews business plans for possible
impairment. An indication of impairment occurs when the carrying value of the asset exceeds the future
undiscounted cash flows. When an impairment is indicated, the estimated future cash flows are then discounted
to determine the estimated fair value of the asset and an impairment charge is recorded for the difference between
the carrying value and the net present value of estimated future cash flows.
Software
The Company capitalizes certain costs of developing computer software. Amortization is recorded using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, which is estimated to be no longer than 10 years.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Certain financial instruments are required to be recorded at fair value. The estimated fair values of such
financial instruments (including investment securities and other derivatives) have been determined using market
information and generally accepted valuation methodologies. Changes in assumptions or estimation methods could
affect the fair value estimates. Other financial instruments, including cash equivalents and short-term debt, are
recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. Additional information regarding the Company’s risk management
activities, including derivative instruments and hedging activities, are separately disclosed. See Notes 2 and 3.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The Company has intangible assets of substantial value on its consolidated balance sheet. Intangible assets
are generally related to intangible assets with a useful life, indefinite-lived trade names and goodwill. The
Company determines whether an intangible asset (other than goodwill) has a useful life based on multiple
factors, including how long the Company intends to generate cash flows from the asset.
71

CHURCH & DWIGHT CO., INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(In millions, except share and per share data)
Carrying values of goodwill and indefinite-lived trade names are reviewed periodically for possible
impairment. The Company’s impairment analysis is based on a discounted cash flow approach that requires
significant judgment with respect to unit volume, revenue and expense growth rates, and the selection of an
appropriate discount rate and royalty rate. Management uses estimates based on expected trends in making these
assumptions. With respect to goodwill, impairment occurs when the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds
the discounted present value of cash flows for that reporting unit. For trade names and other intangible assets, an
impairment charge is recorded for the difference between the carrying value and the net present value of
estimated future cash flows, which represents the estimated fair value of the asset. Judgment is required in
assessing whether assets may have become impaired between annual valuations. Indicators such as unexpected
adverse economic factors, unanticipated technological change, distribution losses, or competitive activities and
acts by governments and courts may indicate that an asset has become impaired. Intangible assets with finite
lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which range from 3-20 years, using the straight-line method,
and reviewed for impairment when changes in market circumstances occur.
Research and Development
The Company incurred research and development expenses in the amount of $139.7, $122.4 and $110.0 in
2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These expenses are included in SG&A expenses and are expensed as incurred.
Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)
Basic EPS is calculated based on income available to holders of the Company’s common stock (“Common
Stock”) and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted EPS includes
dilution from potential Common Stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of outstanding stock options. The
following table sets forth a reconciliation of the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding to the weighted-average number of shares outstanding on a diluted basis:

Employee and Director Stock Based Compensation
The fair value of stock-based compensation is determined at the grant date and the related expense is
generally recognized over the required employee service period in which the share-based compensation vests.
For employees and Directors that meet retirement eligibility requirements, the expense related to stock-based
compensation is recognized on the date of grant as there is no service period required to vest in the awards. The
following table presents the pre-tax expense associated with the fair value of stock awards included in SG&A
expenses and in cost of sales:

Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized to reflect the future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to
taxable income in the years in which the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Management
provides a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets for amounts which are not considered “more likely
than not” to be realized. The Company records liabilities for potential assessments in various tax jurisdictions in
accordance with GAAP. The liabilities relate to tax return positions that, although supportable by the Company,
may be challenged by the tax authorities and do not meet the minimum recognition threshold required under
applicable accounting guidance for the related tax benefit to be recognized in the income statement. The
Company adjusts this liability as a result of changes in tax legislation, interpretations of laws by courts, rulings
by tax authorities, changes in estimates and the expiration of the statute of limitations. Many of the judgments
involved in adjusting the liability involve assumptions and estimates that are highly uncertain and subject to
change. In this regard, settlement of any issue with, or an adverse determination in litigation against, a taxing
authority could require the use of cash and result in an increase in the Company’s annual effective tax rate.
Conversely, favorable resolution of an issue with a taxing authority would be recognized as a reduction to the
Company’s annual effective tax rate.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards
Update (“ASU”) 2022-04, Liabilities-Supplier Finance Programs (Topic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance
Program Obligations, intended to add certain qualitative and quantitative disclosure requirements for a buyer in a
supplier finance program. The amendments require a buyer that uses supplier finance programs to make annual
disclosures about the program’s key terms, the balance sheet presentation of related amounts, the confirmed
amount outstanding at the end of the period, and associated rollforward information. Only the amount
outstanding at the end of the period must be disclosed in interim periods. The amendments are effective for all
entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 on a retrospective basis, including interim periods
within those fiscal years, except for the requirement to disclose rollforward information, which is effective
prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company has adopted the standard which
resulted in additional disclosures. Refer to Note 9.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to
Reportable Segment Disclosures intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily
through enhanced disclosures about significant expenses. The amendments require public entities to disclose
significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included
within segment profit and loss. The standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023,
and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and
will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company has
adopted the standard which resulted in additional disclosures. Refer to Note 17.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income
Tax Disclosure which includes amendments that further expand income tax disclosures, by requiring the
disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation table, and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The
73

CHURCH & DWIGHT CO., INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and
are to be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of
adoption on the Company’s related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive
Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement
Expenses. The ASU requires a public business entity to provide disaggregated disclosures of certain categories of
expenses on an annual and interim basis including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation,
and intangible asset amortization for each income statement line item that contains those expenses. The standard
is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after
December 15, 2027, with prospective or retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of adoption on the Company’s related disclosures.
There have been no other accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted by the Company which are
expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.
2. Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the
inputs used to measure fair value (generally, assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset
or liability) based on the quality and reliability of the information provided by the inputs, as follows:
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 that are not corroborated by market data.
Fair Values of Other Financial Instruments
The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s other

The Company recognizes transfers between input levels as of the actual date of the event. There were no
transfers between input levels during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial
instruments reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets:
Cash Equivalents: Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid short-term investments and term bank deposits,
which mature within three months. The estimated fair value of the Company’s cash equivalents approximates
their carrying value.
Short-Term Borrowings: The carrying amounts of the Company’s unsecured lines of credit and commercial
paper issuances approximates fair value because of their short maturities and variable interest rates.
Senior Notes: The Company determines the fair value of its senior notes based on their quoted market value
or broker quotes, when possible. In the absence of observable market quotes, the notes are valued using
non-binding market consensus prices that the Company seeks to corroborate with observable market data.
Other: The carrying amounts of Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, and Accrued and Other Liabilities
approximated estimated fair values as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
3. Derivative Instruments and Risk Management
Changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, the price of the Company’s Common Stock and
commodity prices expose the Company to market risk. The Company manages these risks by the use of
derivative instruments, such as cash flow and fair value hedges, diesel and commodity hedge contracts, equity
derivatives and foreign exchange forward contracts. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or
speculative purposes.
The Company formally designates and documents qualifying instruments as hedges of underlying exposures
when it enters into derivative arrangements. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as hedges and
qualifying for hedge accounting are recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings
during the period in which the hedged exposure affects earnings. The Company reviews the effectiveness of its
hedging instruments on a quarterly basis. If the Company determines that a derivative instrument is no longer
effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows, it recognizes the hedge ineffectiveness in current
period earnings and discontinues hedge accounting with respect to the derivative instrument. Changes in the fair
value of derivatives not designated as hedges or those not qualifying for hedge accounting are recognized in
current period earnings. Upon termination of cash flow hedges, the Company reclassifies gains and losses from
accumulated other comprehensive income based on the timing of the underlying cash flows, unless the
termination results from the failure of the intended transaction to occur in the expected timeframe. Such untimely
transactions require immediate recognition in earnings of gains and losses previously recorded in other
comprehensive income.
During 2024 and 2023, the Company used derivative instruments to mitigate risk, some of which were
designated as hedging instruments. The tables following the discussion of the derivative instruments below
summarize the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments and the effect of derivative instruments on the
Company’s consolidated Statements of Income and on other comprehensive income.

(In millions, except share and per share data)
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments
Diesel Fuel Hedges
The Company uses independent freight carriers to deliver its products. The carriers charge the Company a
basic rate per mile for diesel fuel. The Company has entered into hedge agreements with counterparties to
mitigate the volatility of diesel fuel prices, and not to speculate in the future price of diesel fuel. Under the hedge
agreements, the Company agreed to pay a fixed price per gallon of diesel fuel determined at the time the
agreements were executed and to receive a floating rate payment that is determined on a monthly basis based on
the average price of the Department of Energy’s Diesel Fuel Index during the applicable month and is designed
to offset any increase or decrease in fuel costs that the Company pays to it common carriers. The agreements
covered approximately 42.0% of the Company’s 2024 diesel fuel requirements. These diesel fuel hedge
agreements qualified for hedge accounting. Therefore, changes in the fair value of such agreements are recorded
under Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Foreign Currency
The Company is subject to exposure from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily U.S.
Dollar/Euro, U.S. Dollar/ Pound, U.S. Dollar/Canadian Dollar, U.S. Dollar/Mexican Peso, U.S Dollar/Chinese
Yuan, U.S. Dollar/Australian Dollar and U.S. Dollar/Japanese Yen.
The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to reduce the impact of foreign exchange rate
fluctuations related to anticipated but not yet committed sales or purchases denominated in U.S. Dollar, Canadian
Dollar, Pound, Euro, Mexican Peso, Chinese Yuan, Japanese Yen, and Australian Dollar. The Company entered
into forward exchange contracts to hedge itself from the risk that, due to fluctuations in currency exchange rates,
it would be adversely affected by net cash outflows. The face value of the unexpired contracts as of
December 31, 2024 totaled $317.0 in U.S. Dollars, of which $317.0 qualifies as foreign currency cash flow
hedges and, therefore, changes in the fair value of the contracts are recorded in Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Income (Loss) and reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affected earnings.
Interest Rate Lock Agreements
From time to time the Company will enter into interest rate lock agreements to hedge the risk of changes in
the interest payments attributable to changes in the interest rates associated with anticipated issuances of debt.
The interest rate lock agreements outstanding at December 31, 2021 were settled in the second quarter of 2022
for a loss of $4.2. The Company entered into additional interest rate lock agreements in the third quarter of 2022
which were settled in the fourth quarter of 2022 for a gain of $21.9. These agreements were used to hedge the
interest rate risk associated with the first ten years of semi-annual interest payments associated with the Senior
Notes due in 2052 and 2032, respectively, and will each be amortized over a ten-year period to interest expense.
There were no interest rate lock agreements outstanding as of December 31, 2024 or 2023. The net gain on the
settlement of these interest rate lock agreements was included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
(“AOCI”).
Commodity Hedges
The Company is subject to exposure due to changes in prices of commodities used in production. To limit
the effects of fluctuations in the future market price paid and related volatility in cash flows, the Company enters
into commodity forward swap contracts. These hedges are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting
76

CHURCH & DWIGHT CO., INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(In millions, except share and per share data)
purposes and, therefore, changes in the fair value of the contracts are recorded in AOCI and reclassified to
earnings when the hedged transaction affected earnings. The fair value of these commodity hedge agreements is
reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet within Other Current Assets, Accounts Payable, and Accrued and
Other Liabilities.
Derivatives not Designated as Hedging Instruments
Equity Derivatives
The Company has entered into equity derivative contracts covering its Common Stock in order to minimize
its liability under its Executive Deferred Compensation Plan resulting from changes in the quoted fair values of
its Common Stock to participants who have investments under the Plan in a notional Common Stock fund. The
contracts are settled in cash. Since the equity derivatives contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting, the
Company is required to mark such contracts to market throughout the contract term and record changes in fair
value in the consolidated Statements of Income.
The notional amount of a derivative instrument is the nominal or face amount used to calculate payments
made on that instrument. Notional amounts are presented in the following table:

The customer relationship intangible asset was valued using a discounted cash flow model and has a useful
life of 15 years. The goodwill is a result of expected synergies from combined operations of the acquired
business and the Company. Pro forma results are not presented because the impact of the acquisition is not
material to the Company’s consolidated financial results. The goodwill and other intangible assets associated
with the Graphico Acquisition are not deductible for U.S. tax purposes.
On October 13, 2022, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of
Hero Cosmetics, Inc. (“Hero”), the developer of the HERO® brand which includes the MIGHTY PATCH® acne
treatment products (the “Hero Acquisition”). The Company paid $546.8, net of cash acquired, at closing, and
deferred an additional cash payment of $8.0 for five years to satisfy certain indemnification obligations, if
necessary. The Company also issued $61.5 of restricted stock which will be recognized as compensation expense
as the vesting requirements for individuals who received the restricted stock, and will continue to be employed
by the Company, are satisfied at various dates over a three-year period from the date of the acquisition. Hero’s
annual net sales for the year ended December 31, 2022 were approximately $179.0. The Hero Acquisition was
financed with cash on hand and commercial paper borrowings and is managed in the Consumer Domestic
segment. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company made a net cash payment of $3.5 primarily associated with
final working capital adjustments.

The trade name and other intangible assets were valued using a discounted cash flow model. The trade name
and other intangible assets recognized from the Hero Acquisition have useful lives which range from 10—20
years. The goodwill is a result of expected synergies from combined operations of the acquired business and the
Company. Pro forma results are not presented because the impact of the acquisition is not material to the
Company’s consolidated financial results. The goodwill and other intangible assets associated with the Hero
Acquisition are not deductible for U.S. tax purposes.
7. Goodwill and Other Intangibles, Net
The Company has intangible assets of substantial value on its consolidated balance sheet. These intangible
assets are generally related to intangible assets with a useful life, indefinite-lived trade names and goodwill. The
Company determines whether an intangible asset (other than goodwill) has a useful life based on multiple
factors, including how long the Company intends to generate cash flows from the asset. These intangible assets
are more fully explained in the following sections.

The $15.8 impairment charge relates to the VMS customer relationship intangible asset.
Intangible amortization expense amounted to $121.5 for 2024, $124.3 for 2023 and $122.4 for 2022,
respectively. The Company estimates that intangible amortization expense will be approximately $116.0 in 2025
and approximately $97.0 declining to $84.0 annually over the next five years.
In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company determined that a review of our ability to recover the carrying
values of the global FINISHING TOUCH FLAWLESS intangible assets was necessary based on the
discontinuance of certain products at a major retailer. The FINISHING TOUCH FLAWLESS assets consist of
the definite-lived trade name, customer relationships and technology assets recorded at acquisition. The
Company evaluated our ability to recover the intangible assets by comparing the carrying amount to the future
undiscounted cash flows and determined that the cash flows would not be sufficient to recover the carrying value
of the assets. After determining the estimated fair value of the assets, which included a reduction in cash flows
due to the loss of distribution mentioned above along with an expected continued decline in discretionary
consumption and higher interest rates, a non-cash impairment charge of $411.0 was recorded in the fourth quarter
of 2022. The impairment charge is included in SG&A with $349.3 recorded in the Consumer Domestic segment
and $61.7 recorded in the Consumer International segment. The impairment charge was applied as a full
impairment of the customer relationship and technology assets and a partial impairment of the trade name. The
remaining net book value of the trade name as of December 31, 2024 is $15.4 and will be amortized over a
remaining useful life of one year. The estimated fair value of the intangible assets was determined using the
income approach with Level 3 inputs. The Level 3 inputs include the discount rate of 8.5% applied to
management’s estimates of future cash flows based on projections of revenue, gross margin, marketing expense
and tax rates considering the loss of product distribution and the reduction in customer demand that FINISHING
TOUCH FLAWLESS had been experiencing through December 31, 2022.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(In millions, except share and per share data)
The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible impairment review is completed in the fourth quarter of each
year.
Fair value of indefinite-lived trade names was estimated based on a “relief from royalty” or “excess
earnings” discounted cash flow method, which contains numerous variables that are subject to change as business
conditions change, and therefore could impact fair values in the future. The key assumptions used in determining
fair value are sales growth, profitability margins, tax rates, discount rates and royalty rates. The Company
determined that the fair value of all indefinite-lived trade names for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 2024 exceeded their respective carrying values based upon the forecasted cash flows and
profitability, with the exception of the Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements (“VMS”) business described below.
During the third quarter of 2024, the Company continued to experience a decline in market share and a
deterioration in the financial performance of its VMS business, which includes the VITAFUSION and L’IL
CRITTERS trade name, primarily due to significant product competition coming from new category entrants,
including private label. The continued decline in profitability caused management to reassess its long-term
strategy and financial outlook of the business. The revised financial outlook reflects lower estimates of future
sales growth and cash flows which resulted in a triggering event in the third quarter. The triggering event
required the Company to review the carrying value of assets supporting the business. The assets supporting the
VMS business include the VITAFUSION and L’IL CRITTERS indefinite-lived trade name, a definite-lived
customer relationship intangible asset and PP&E specific to the VMS business.
The Company used an excess earnings discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of the trade
name. The assumptions used in the model require significant judgement in determining the expected future cash
flows. The key assumptions utilized in the Company’s impairment analysis included, but were not limited, net
sales growth rates between -15.2% and 2.1%, EBITA margins in the low single digits, and a discount rate of
8.25%. Estimates are based on market conditions and management’s current expectation of the success of growth
and profitability initiatives. The valuation resulted in a full impairment of the $281.3 trade name. The remaining
carry value of the trade name at December 31, 2024 is $0.0.
The Company also evaluated its ability to recover the carrying value of long-lived assets supporting the
VMS business by comparing the carrying amount of those assets to the future undiscounted cash flows over the
estimated life of the identified primary asset. The result of this evaluation was that the cash flows would not be
sufficient to recover the carrying value of the assets requiring the Company to compare the carrying value of
those assets to their fair value. The Company used an excess earnings discounted cash flow model to determine
the estimated fair value of the long-lived assets. The key assumptions utilized in the Company’s impairment
analysis were the same as those used to estimate the fair value of the trade name. The valuation resulted in a fair
value of the long-lived assets that is below their carry value requiring a pre-tax impairment charge of $75.8. The
impairment charge was allocated $60.0 to the PP&E of the VMS business and $15.8 to the remaining customer
relationship intangible asset. The remaining carrying values of the PP&E and the customer relationship
intangible asset specific to the VMS business at December 31, 2024 are $140.7 and $0.0, respectively.

The Company’s global WATERPIK business has continued to experience a significant decline in customer
demand for many of its products, primarily due to lower consumer spending for discretionary products from
inflation and a growing number of water flosser consumers switching to more value-branded products. As a
result, the WATERPIK business has experienced declining sales and profits resulting in a reduction in expected
future cash flows which have eroded a substantial portion of the excess between the fair and carrying value of the
trade name. This indefinite-lived intangible asset may be susceptible to impairment and a continued decline in
fair value could trigger a future impairment charge of the WATERPIK trade name. The carrying value of the
WATERPIK trade name was $644.7 and fair value represented 135% of the carrying value as of October 1, 2024
(the date of the Company’s last annual impairment test). The fair value represented 109% of the carrying value as
of October 1, 2023. The increase in fair value is mainly attributable to a favorable tariff ruling on certain
Waterpik products imported from China. The key assumptions used in the projections from the Company’s
October 1, 2024 impairment analysis include a discount rate of 8.1%, revenue growth rates between 2% and 7%
and EBITA margins between 25% and 29%. These assumptions were based on current market conditions as of
the date of the impairment analysis, recent trends and management’s expectation of the success of initiatives to
lower costs and to develop lower-cost water flosser alternatives. While management has implemented strategies
to address the risk, significant changes in operating plans or adverse changes in the future could reduce the
underlying cash flows used to estimate fair value.

The result of the Company’s annual goodwill impairment test, performed in the beginning of the second
quarter of 2024, determined that the estimated fair value substantially exceeded the carrying values of all
reporting units. The determination of fair value contains numerous variables that are subject to change as
business conditions change and therefore could impact fair value in the future.

Leases
The Company leases certain manufacturing facilities, warehouses, office space, railcars and equipment.
Leases with an initial term of twelve 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. For leases beginning in 2019, lease components (base rental costs) are accounted for separately from
the nonlease components (e.g., common-area maintenance costs). For leases that do not provide an implicit rate,
the Company uses its estimated secured incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at
commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

In 2015, the Company initiated a Supply Chain Finance program (“SCF Program”). Under the SCF
Program, qualifying suppliers may elect to sell their receivables from the Company for early payment.
Participating suppliers negotiate their receivables sales arrangements directly with a third party. The Company is
not party to those agreements and do not have an economic interest in the suppliers’ decisions to sell their
receivables and has not been required to pledge any assets as security nor to provide any guarantee to third-party
finance providers or intermediaries. The SCF Program may allow suppliers to obtain more favorable terms than
they could secure on their own. The terms of the Company’s payment obligations are not impacted by a
supplier’s participation in the SCF Program. The Company’s payment terms with suppliers are consistent
between suppliers that elect to participate in the SCF Program and those that do not participate. As a result, the
program does not have an impact to the Company’s average days outstanding.
The obligations outstanding related to the SCF program amount to $98.5 and $82.0 as of December 31,
2024 and 2023, respectively, and were recorded within Accounts Payable in the consolidated balance sheets.
Payments included in operating activities within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
amounted to $388.7 and $387.1 in the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Commercial Paper
Under the Company’s commercial paper program, the Company may issue commercial paper notes up to an
aggregate principal amount outstanding at any given time of $1,500.0. The maturities of the notes will vary but
may not exceed 397 days. The interest rates on the notes will vary based on market conditions and the ratings
assigned to the notes by the rating agencies designated in the agreement at the time of issuance. Subject to market
conditions, the Company intends to utilize the commercial paper program as its primary short-term borrowing

believes that it is more likely than not that the benefit from these net operating loss carryforwards will not be
realized. In recognition of this risk, the Company has provided a valuation allowance of $8.3 and $9.0 at
December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, on the deferred tax asset relating to these net operating loss
carryforwards.
The Company also believes that it is more likely than not that the benefit from certain additional deferred
tax assets of a foreign subsidiary will not be realized. In recognition of this risk, the Company maintains a
valuation allowance of $0.7 and $0.8 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, on these deferred tax assets.
The Company has foreign tax credit carryforwards of approximately $5.2 and $2.1 as of December 31, 2024

credit carryforwards as of December 31, 2024 will not be realized. In recognition of this risk, the Company has
provided a valuation allowance of $5.2 and $0.0 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, on the deferred
tax asset relating to these foreign tax credit carryforwards. The Company does not have any undistributed
earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are considered to be indefinitely reinvested outside of the U.S.

supportable by the Company, may be challenged by tax authorities.

Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 are $4.5, $4.2
and $4.8, respectively, of tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. Also included in the
balance of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 are $0.9, $0.9 and $1.0, respectively,
of tax benefits that, if recognized, would result in adjustments to deferred taxes.
The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple state and international
jurisdictions. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns are closed for tax years through 2020. The
Company is currently under audit by several state taxing authorities for the years 2017 through 2022. It is
reasonably possible that a decrease of approximately $0.3 in the unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the
next twelve months related to the settlement of these audits or the lapse of applicable statutes of limitations.
The Company’s policy for recording interest associated with income tax examinations is to record interest
as a component of Income before Income Taxes. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and
2022, the Company recognized interest expense associated with uncertain tax positions of approximately $0.4,
$0.3 and $0.1, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, the Company had accrued interest
expense related to unrecognized tax benefits of $1.3, $0.9 and $0.7, respectively.

(In millions, except share and per share data)
On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “Act”), which
contains provisions effective January 1, 2023, including a 15% corporate minimum tax and a 1% excise tax on
stock buybacks. The law did not have any material impacts on the Company’s consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows during the year ended December 31, 2024.
12. Stock Based Compensation Plans and Other Benefit Plans
In the first quarter of 2023, the Company updated its Long-Term Incentive Program (“LTIP”) to provide
employees with an award of stock options and initial grants of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and made an
initial grant of performance share units (“PSUs”) to members of the Company’s Executive Leadership Team
(“ELT”). In connection with this update, the awards are now granted in the first quarter of each year. Prior to
2023, the awards were granted in the second quarter. The Company recognizes the grant-date fair value for each
of these awards, less estimated forfeitures, as compensation expense ratably over the vesting period. For
employees and Directors that meet retirement eligibility requirements, the expense related to share-based
compensation is recognized on the date of grant as there is no future service period required to vest in the
awards.
Stock Options
The Company has non-qualified options outstanding under the LTIP. Stock options outstanding are issued at
market value on the date of grant, vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant and must be exercised within
10 years of the date of grant.
However, upon a participant’s termination of employment (other than termination for cause, death,
disability or retirement), a participant will generally have 30 days (90 days for grants made after May 13, 2022)
to exercise any vested stock options, subject to specified conditions. If, upon termination of a participant’s
employment (other than a termination for cause), a participant is at least 55 years old, has at least five years of
service, and the sum of the participant’s age and years of service is at least 65, the participant may exercise any
vested stock options granted between 2007 through 2017 within a period of three years from the date of
termination or, if earlier, the date such stock options otherwise would have expired, subject to specified
conditions. Starting with stock options granted in 2018, a terminated employee who meets the above conditions
may exercise any stock options until the date such stock options otherwise would have expired, subject to
specified conditions. Issuances of Common Stock to satisfy employee stock option exercises currently are made
from treasury stock.

The fair value of stock options is based upon the Black Scholes option pricing model. The Company
determined the stock options’ lives based on historical exercise behavior and their expected volatility and
dividend yield based on the historical changes in stock price and dividend payments. The risk-free interest rate is
based on the yield of an applicable term Treasury instrument.
As of December 31, 2024, there was a fair value of $18.3 related to unamortized stock option compensation
expense, which is expected to be recognized over the next three years. The Company’s Consolidated Statements
of Cash Flow reflect an add back related to stock option awards of $28.7, $26.3 and $25.7 in 2024, 2023 and
2022, respectively, for non-cash compensation expense.

Restricted Stock Units
The Company granted employees 121,050 RSUs with a total fair value of $12.4 at a weighted average grant
date fair value of $102.40 per RSU during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company granted employees
120,080 RSUs with a total fair value of $10.4 at a weighted average grant date fair value of $86.20 per RSU
during the year ended December 31, 2023. The annual RSU grants vest one-third on each of the first, second and
third anniversaries of the grant date, subject to the recipient’s continued employment with the Company from the
grant date through the applicable vesting date, and are settled with shares of the Company’s Common Stock
within 60 days following the applicable vesting date.
Additionally, in connection with the Hero Acquisition (see Note 6), 854,882 shares of restricted stock were
issued to certain individuals in October 2022 with a total fair value of $61.5. This restricted stock is recognized
as compensation expense ratably over the vesting period if those individuals continue to be employed by the
Company. The vesting requirements are satisfied at various dates over a three-year period from the date of the
acquisition. 427,438 shares have vested as of December 31, 2024. The restricted stock expense associated with
the Hero Acquisition for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $20.3, $29.2 and
$6.0, respectively, and is included in the Non-cash compensation expense caption in the consolidated statement
of cash flows.
In January 2021, the Company issued cash-settled stock units under the Omnibus Equity Plan to all
employees at the level of vice president and below. These restricted stock units are scheduled to vest and be
settled on the third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to continued employment through such date.
As a result of the issued cash-settled stock units, the Company recorded stock compensation expense of
$0.9, $1.3 and $0.3 in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The liability was approximately $4.4 and $3.5 as of
December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Performance Stock Units
In the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, the Company granted PSUs to members of the Executive Leadership
Team, including the CEO, with an aggregate award of 19,960 and 19,650 PSUs, respectively. The PSUs were
valued at a weighted average grant date fair value per PSU equal to $122.24 in 2024 and $110.95 in 2023 using a
Monte Carlo model. The performance target is based on the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative
to a Company selected peer group. The PSUs vest on the later of (i) the third anniversary of the grant date, and
(ii) the date that the Board’s Compensation & Human Capital Committee certifies the achievement of the
applicable performance goals, in each case, subject to the recipient’s continued employment with the Company
from the grant date through the vesting date. The number of shares that may be issued ranges from 0% to 200%
based on relative TSR during the three-year performance period.
Discounted Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company’s discounted Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) was adopted in February 2023 by the
Company’s Board of Directors and became effective in April 2023 upon approval by the Company’s
stockholders. There are 750,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP. The ESPP,
which is intended to be an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code,
permits eligible employees to purchase Common Stock through after-tax payroll deductions. Currently, the
purchase price equals 85% of the fair market value of our Common Stock on the last trading day of the
applicable quarterly purchase period. The maximum value of Common Stock that an eligible employee may
92

CHURCH & DWIGHT CO., INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(In millions, except share and per share data)
purchase each calendar year is the lesser of 10% of an eligible employee’s annual pay and $25,000. There are
four purchase periods in each calendar year under the ESPP, which begin on the first business day of each
calendar quarter and end on the last business day of each calendar quarter. The first purchase period commenced
in January 2025.
Deferred Compensation Plans
The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan under which certain members of
management are eligible to defer a maximum of 85% of their regular compensation (i.e., salary) and, in general,
up to 85% of their incentive bonus. As of January 1, 2024, the limit was decreased from 85% to a maximum of
70% for both regular compensation and incentive bonus. The amounts deferred under this plan are credited with
earnings or losses based upon changes in values of notional investments selected by the plan participant. The
investment options available include notional investments in various stock, bond and money market funds as well
as the Company’s Common Stock. Each plan participant is fully vested in the amounts the participant defers. The
plan permits the Company to make profit sharing contributions that cannot otherwise be contributed to the
qualified savings and profit-sharing plan due to limitations established by the Internal Revenue Service. These
contributions vest under the same vesting schedule applicable to the qualified plan.
The liability to plan participants for contributions designated for notional investment in Common Stock is
based on the quoted fair value of the Common Stock plus any dividends credited. The Company uses cash-settled
hedging instruments to minimize the cost related to the volatility of Common Stock. At December 31, 2024 and
2023, the amount of the Company’s liability under the deferred compensation plan is included in Current and
Deferred and Other Long-term Liabilities and was $135.8 and $118.2, respectively and the funded balances
recorded in Other Assets amounted to $127.2 and $112.9, respectively. The amounts charged to earnings,
including the effect of the hedges, totaled expense of $2.0, $3.7 and $1.2 in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Non-employee members of the Company’s Board are eligible to defer up to 100% of their directors’
compensation into a similar plan; however, the only option for investment is Common Stock. Members of the
Board are fully vested in their account balance. As of December 31, 2024, there were approximately 88,000
shares of Common Stock from shares held as Treasury Stock in a rabbi trust to protect the interest of the
directors’ deferred compensation plan participants in the event of a change of control.
13. Share Repurchases
On October 28, 2021, the Board authorized a new share repurchase program, under which the Company
may repurchase up to $1,000.0 in shares of Common Stock (the “2021 Share Repurchase Program”). The 2021
Share Repurchase Program does not have an expiration. The 2021 Share Repurchase Program did not modify the
Company’s evergreen share repurchase program, authorized by the Board on January 29, 2014, under which the
Company may repurchase, from time to time, Common Stock to reduce or eliminate dilution associated with
issuances of Common Stock under its incentive plans.
In November 2023, the Company executed an agreement to purchase 3.3 million shares for $300.1,
inclusive of fees, of which $229.3 was purchased under the evergreen share repurchase program and $70.8 was
purchased under the 2021 Share Repurchase Program.
As a result of the Company’s stock repurchases, there remains $658.9 of share repurchase availability under
the 2021 Share Repurchase Program as of December 31, 2024.

d. In connection with the December 1, 2020 acquisition of the ZICAM® brand (the “Zicam Acquisition”),
the Company deferred an additional cash payment of $20.0 related to certain indemnifications provided by the
seller. The additional amount, to the extent not used in satisfaction of such indemnity obligations, is payable five
years from the closing.
In connection with the December 24, 2021 TheraBreath Acquisition, the Company deferred payment of a
$14.0 portion of the purchase price related to certain indemnity obligations provided by the seller. The deferred
amount is payable in installments between two and four years from the closing, with the first installment payment
of $2.0 paid in January 2024, an additional $2.0 paid in January 2025, and the remaining $10.0, to the extent not
used or withheld in satisfaction of such indemnity obligations, to be paid in the first quarter and fourth quarter of
2025.
In connection with the October 13, 2022 Hero Acquisition, the Company deferred an additional cash
payment of $8.0 to satisfy certain indemnification obligations. The additional amount, to the extent not used in
satisfaction of such indemnity obligations, is payable five years from the closing.
e. In addition, in conjunction with the Company’s acquisition and divestiture activities, the Company
entered into select guarantees and indemnifications of performance with respect to the fulfillment of the
Company’s commitments under applicable purchase and sale agreements. The arrangements generally indemnify
the buyer or seller for damages associated with breach of contract, inaccuracies in representations and warranties
surviving the closing date and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments retained under the applicable contract.
Representations and warranties that survive the closing date generally survive for periods up to five years or the
expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations. Potential losses under the indemnifications are generally
limited to a portion of the original transaction price, or to other lesser specific dollar amounts for select
provisions. With respect to sale transactions, the Company also routinely enters into non-competition agreements
for varying periods of time. Guarantees and indemnifications with respect to acquisition and divestiture activities,
if triggered, could have a materially adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows.
Legal proceedings
f. In addition to the matters described above, from time to time in the ordinary course of its business the
Company is the subject of, or party to, various pending or threatened legal, regulatory or governmental actions or
other proceedings, including, without limitation, those relating to, intellectual property, commercial transactions,
product liability, purported consumer class actions, employment matters, antitrust, environmental, health, safety
and other compliance related matters. Such proceedings are generally subject to considerable uncertainty and
their outcomes, and any related damages, may not be reasonably predictable or estimable. Any such proceedings
could result in a material adverse outcome negatively impacting the Company’s business, financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows.
