Kenvue faced a 3.9% drop in net sales in Q1 2025, primarily due to a 2.7% foreign exchange impact and a 1.2% organic sales decline. Despite these challenges, the company improved its gross profit margin to 58.0%, increased operating income, and achieved higher diluted EPS year-over-year. The adjusted EPS and margins, however, declined slightly. Kenvue updated its FY2025 outlook to reflect tariff and currency pressures.
Net sales declined 3.9% year-over-year to $3.741 billion, with a 1.2% drop in organic sales.
Diluted EPS increased to $0.17 from $0.15 in Q1 2024; adjusted EPS declined to $0.24 from $0.28.
Gross profit margin improved to 58.0%, while adjusted operating income margin fell to 19.8%.
Free cash flow grew to $200 million from $100 million a year earlier.
Kenvue expects net sales to increase 1% to 3% for FY2025, with organic sales growth of 2% to 4%, but anticipates margin pressure from tariffs and currency headwinds.
