Spectrum Brands delivered solid cash flow despite a 5.2% drop in revenue and an 8% decline in adjusted EBITDA. Net income rose significantly due to tax benefits and lower operating expenses.
Net sales decreased by 5.2% to $733.5 million, with organic net sales declining by 6.6% due to supply chain issues and category softness.
Net income from continuing operations significantly increased to $53.3 million, up 316.4% from the prior year, driven by a one-time tax benefit and lower share count.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 8.0% to $63.4 million, and adjusted EBITDA margin decreased by 30 basis points to 8.6%.
The company generated $170.7 million in adjusted free cash flow for the full fiscal year, exceeding its target, and ended the year with a net debt leverage of 1.58x Adjusted EBITDA.
Spectrum Brands expects low single-digit growth in net sales and adjusted EBITDA in FY26, with stronger performance from Global Pet Care and Home & Garden.
