Positive organic top-line trends benefitted from continued strong consumption across our portfolio.

The first nine months of fiscal year 2020 were favorably impacted by increased consumption for the Company’s brand portfolio, but more than offset by inventory reductions at certain key retailers.International OTC Healthcare: Segment fiscal third quarter 2020 revenues totaled $26.7 million, an approximate 8% increase versus $24.6 million reported in the prior year comparable period. Revenues versus the prior year third quarter benefitted from consumption and shipment growth in Australia and Asia-Pacific, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency of approximately $1 million.For the first nine months of the current fiscal year, reported revenues for the International OTC Healthcare segment were $72.2 million versus the prior year’s comparable period’s revenues of $67.4 million, attributable to consumption and shipment growth in the Asia-Pacific region, including the Company’s brand portfolio in Australia and Southeast Asia.

For the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Household Cleaning segment generated $19.8 million in revenues, with no reported revenue in subsequent quarters.Commentary and Outlook for Fiscal 2020Ron Lombardi, CEO, stated, “We are pleased with our third quarter results on a number of fronts. First, we experienced a continuation of solid consumption trends driven by our brand-building investment strategy. Second, we are more than halfway through the transition to a new third-party logistics provider and location which is proceeding as planned. Finally, we continue to generate strong cash flows from our leading financial profile, which we used for debt reduction in Q3.”Mr. Lombardi continued, “Our strong operating results and disciplined use of cash flow during the first nine months of the fiscal year has enabled us to raise our EPS outlook for full-year fiscal 2020. As we look ahead to fiscal 2021, we anticipate continuing to benefit from our diversified portfolio of leading brands which has us well positioned in a continued challenging retailer environment. We expect our robust financial profile, enhanced by our disciplined capital deployment strategy, to continue to create value for our stakeholders. These attributes and our year-to-date performance keep us well positioned to capitalize on our long-term growth prospects,” Mr. Lombardi concluded.* See the “About Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of this report for further presentation information.Fiscal Q3 2020 Conference Call, Accompanying Slide Presentation and Replay
