Reported fiscal 2025 second quarter results with decreases in net sales, net income, and adjusted EBITDA
Key Takeaways
Spectrum Brands Holdings reported a challenging second quarter for fiscal 2025, with net sales decreasing by 6.0%. The decline was primarily attributed to softening North American demand in Global Pet Care and Home and Personal Care, as well as the timing of seasonal inventory purchases in Home & Garden. Net income from continuing operations significantly decreased by 96.4% to $1.8 million, and Adjusted EBITDA fell by 36.5% to $71.3 million.
Net sales decreased 6.0% year-over-year, largely due to weaker North American consumer demand and shifts in retailer inventory purchases.
Net income from continuing operations plummeted by 96.4% to $1.8 million.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 36.5% to $71.3 million, impacted by lower operating income and investment income.
The company repurchased 2.0 million shares for $159.9 million during the quarter and a total of 16.3 million shares for $1.28 billion since the HHI divestiture.
