ScottsMiracle-Gro announced record second quarter sales in its U.S. Consumer segment, but this growth was offset by a decline in Hawthorne sales, leading to an overall decrease in company-wide sales. The company's GAAP earnings per share were $4.94, while non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share were $5.03. The company has adjusted its sales outlook for both U.S. Consumer and Hawthorne to the low end of guidance.
