Kenvue Reports Healthy Third Quarter 2023 Results

Net Sales Increased 3.3% to $3.9 billion with Organic Growth1 of 3.6%

Reported Diluted EPS of $0.23 and Adjusted Diluted EPS1 of $0.31

Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.20 Per Share

Kenvue Inc. (NYSE: KVUE) (“Kenvue”), the world’s largest pure-play consumer health company by revenue, today announced financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended October 1, 2023.

“We continued to execute on our commitment to delivering sustainable and profitable growth this quarter. Our operating results and strong cash generation underscore the strength of our leadership position in consumer health, and reflect the strong foundation of the company we are building with durable advantage over the long-term,” said Thibaut Mongon, Chief Executive Officer and Director.

Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Net Sales & Organic Growth

Net sales increased 3.3% vs the prior year period. Organic growth1 increased 3.6%. Increases in Net sales and Organic growth were comprised of 7.1% value realization (defined as price including mix), partially offset by 3.5% volume declines. Portfolio rationalization initiatives in 2022 and market softness in China impacted volume growth by approximately two percentage points.

Organic growth was fueled by Self Care where successful brand activation and innovation continue to expand usage occasions, driving volume growth and strength across all product categories, despite a slow start to the cold cough and flu season. In Skin Health & Beauty, value realization, recovered service levels, a strong finish to the sun season and strength across Latin America (“LATAM”) and Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) were offset by the impact of 2022 portfolio rationalization in the United States and market softness in China. Momentum in Essential Health continued as value realization and premiumization initiatives took hold.

Gross Profit Margin & Adjusted Operating Income Margin

On a reported basis, Gross profit margin was 57.5% vs 56.1% in the prior year period. Adjusted gross profit margin1 was 59.4% vs 58.6% in the prior year period. Favorable value realization, global supply chain efficiency initiatives and non-recurring separation-related benefits during the quarter more than offset the impact of sustained higher cost inflation and approximately 130 basis points of negative foreign currency fluctuations.

Adjusted operating income margin1 was 23.3% vs 24.5% in the prior year period. Adjusted operating income margin includes incremental ongoing public company costs not incurred last year and the impact of higher foreign currency fluctuations during the quarter.

Interest expense, net & Taxes

Interest expense, net was $100 million, reflecting a full quarter of interest expense. On a reported basis, the Effective tax rate was 25.1% vs 20.6% in the same period last year. The Adjusted effective tax rate1 was 25.3% vs 22.3% in the same period last year. The increase in reported and Adjusted effective tax rate is the result of higher U.S. tax on foreign sourced income and limitations on the Company’s ability to utilize foreign tax credits in the third quarter of 2023.

Net income & Net income per share (“Earnings per share”)

Net income was $438 million vs $586 million in the same period last year. Adjusted net income1 was $590 million vs prior year of $702 million, primarily driven by the items discussed above.

On a reported basis, diluted earnings per share was $0.23. Adjusted diluted earnings per share1 was $0.31.

2023 Outlook

Sales and Adjusted Net Income (“earnings per share”)

Based on current spot rates, foreign exchange is now expected to be a headwind to reported Net sales growth of approximately one to two percentage points vs one percentage point previously expected. Reflecting a softer than anticipated start to the cough, cold and flu season and increased impact of foreign exchange, Kenvue tightened its net sales outlook expecting fiscal 2023 reported Net sales growth to be in the range of 4.0% to 4.5% and Organic growth to be in the range of 5.5% to 6.0%.

Kenvue expects fiscal 2023 Adjusted diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $1.26 to $1.28, reflecting increased foreign exchange headwinds vs prior outlook as well as a softer start to the cold, cough and flu season.

This range assumes a full year 2023 diluted weighted average share count of 1.852 billion.

Reported and Adjusted Interest expense, net

For fiscal year 2023, Kenvue continues to expect reported Interest expense, net to be approximately $270 million and Adjusted interest expense, net1 to be approximately $300 million.

Reported and Adjusted effective tax rate

Kenvue expects reported Effective tax rate to be between 25.5% to 26.5% and continues to expect Adjusted effective tax rate1 to be between 24.5% to 25.5%.

Kenvue is not able to provide GAAP measures or reconcile certain non-GAAP financial measures, other than Adjusted interest expense, net, to comparable GAAP measures on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts given the unpredictability of the timing and amounts of discrete items such as acquisitions or divestitures.

Quarterly Cash Dividend

In line with the Company’s commitment to a disciplined capital allocation strategy to deliver long-term sustainable shareholder value, Kenvue paid a third quarter cash dividend of $0.20 per share, totaling $383 million.

Today Kenvue announced that the Board of Directors declared a $0.20 cash dividend payable in the fourth quarter. The fourth quarter dividend of $0.20 per share on the common stock of the Company will be payable on November 22, 2023 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 8, 2023.

Authorization of Share Repurchase Program

Kenvue’s Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program, under which Kenvue is authorized to repurchase up to 27 million shares of its outstanding common stock in open market or privately negotiated transactions. The program has no expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The intent of this repurchase program is to offset dilution from the vesting or exercise of equity awards under Kenvue’s equity incentive plan.

Webcast Information

As previously announced, Kenvue will host a conference call with investors to discuss its third quarter results at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The conference call can be accessed by dialing 877-407-8835 from the United States or 201-689-8779 from international locations.

1Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented herein. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP nor do they have any standardized meaning under U.S. GAAP. In addition, other companies may use similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures that are calculated differently from the way the Company calculate such measures. Accordingly, the non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to such similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The Company cautions you not to place undue reliance on these non-GAAP financial measures, but instead to consider them with the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplements to, not substitutes for, or superior to, the corresponding financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company believes the presentation of these measures is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by Management. The Company believes these measures help improve investors’ ability to understand the Company’s operating performance and makes it easier to compare the Company’s results with other companies. In addition, the Company believes these measures are also among the primary measures used externally by the Company’s investors, analysts and peers in its industry for purposes of valuation and comparing the operating performance of the Company to other companies in our industry.

Below are definitions and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP measures for the non-GAAP measures used in this press release and the related prepared materials and webcast.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share: We define Adjusted diluted earnings per share as U.S. GAAP diluted earnings per share adjusted for Separation-related costs, restructuring expense, unrealized gain on securities, amortization of intangible assets, conversion of share-based awards, litigation expense, impairment of intangible assets, interest income earned on the related party note receivable from Johnson & Johnson and their related tax impacts. Management views this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors as it provides a supplemental measure of the Company’s performance over time.

Adjusted EBITDA margin: We define the non-GAAP measure EBITDA as U.S. GAAP Net income adjusted for interest, provision for taxes, and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA, another non-GAAP financial measure, as EBITDA adjusted for Separation-related costs, restructuring expense, conversion of share-based awards, litigation expense, impairment of intangible assets and unrealized gain on securities. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net sales. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors as it provides a supplemental perspective to the Company’s operating efficiency over time.

Adjusted effective tax rate: We define Adjusted effective tax rate as U.S. GAAP Effective tax rate adjusted for tax effects of Separation-related costs, restructuring expense, unrealized gain on securities, amortization of intangible assets, conversion of share-based awards, interest income earned on the related party note receivable from Johnson & Johnson (i.e., special items). We also exclude certain one-time tax only adjustments which include the removal of tax effects from the carve-out methodology, the impact of the interest expense from the debt issuance, which reduced the Company’s capacity to utilize foreign tax credits against U.S. foreign source income and other one-time items. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors as it provides a supplemental measure of the Company’s performance over time.

Adjusted gross profit margin: We define Adjusted gross profit margin as U.S. GAAP Gross profit margin adjusted for restructuring expense, amortization of intangible assets and conversion of share-based awards. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors as it provides a supplemental perspective to the Company’s operating efficiency over time.

Adjusted interest expense, net: We define Adjusted interest expense, net as U.S. GAAP interest expense, net, adjusted to exclude the interest income earned on the related party note receivable from Johnson & Johnson. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of the Company’s ongoing operational performance.

Adjusted net income: We define Adjusted net income as U.S. GAAP Net income adjusted for Separation-related costs, restructuring expense, unrealized gain on securities, amortization of intangible assets, conversion of share-based awards, litigation expense, impairment of intangible assets, interest income earned on the related party note receivable from Johnson & Johnson and their related tax impacts. Adjusted net income excludes the impact of items that may obscure trends in our underlying performance. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors as the Company uses Adjusted net income for strategic decision making, forecasting future results and evaluating current performance.

Adjusted operating income: We define Adjusted operating income as Total operating income excluding the following items: amortization expense, Separation-related costs, restructuring expenses, conversion of share-based awards, long-lived asset impairment and litigation expense. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors as Management uses Total adjusted operating income to assess the Company’s financial performance. In the third quarter of 2023, the Company adjusted its definition of Total adjusted operating income in order to align more closely with the financial measures used to evaluate performance by the Company’s peers.

Adjusted operating income margin: We define Adjusted operating income margin as Adjusted operating income as a percentage of Net sales. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors as it provides a supplemental perspective to the Company’s operating efficiency over time.

Organic growth: We define Organic growth as the period-over-period change in U.S. GAAP Net sales excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of acquisitions and divestitures. Management believes Organic growth provides investors with additional, supplemental information that is useful in assessing the Company’s results of operations by excluding the impact of certain items that we believe do not directly reflect our underlying operations.

The non-GAAP measures as presented herein have been prepared as if our operations had been conducted independently from Johnson & Johnson prior to May 4, 2023, the date Kenvue’s common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“Kenvue IPO”), and therefore they include certain Johnson & Johnson corporate and shared costs allocated to us. Management believes the cost allocations are a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to, or the benefit derived by, us during the periods presented, though the allocations may not be indicative of the actual costs that would have been incurred if we had been operating as a standalone company.

A further list and descriptions of these risks, uncertainties and other factors can be found in Kenvue’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its registration statement on Form S-1 and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings, available at www.kenvue.com or on request from Kenvue.

Kenvue undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or developments or otherwise.

Organic Growth by Segment

Self Care:

- Organic growth of 6.7% was comprised of 5.5% value realization and 1.2% volume increase. Self Care continued to outperform with value realization alongside innovation-based volume growth fueling strength with all Self Care product categories growing mid to high single digits. Standout performance was led by Digestive Health, as Imodium® and Pepcid® brands gained share with successful brand activations fueling growth. Consumer affinity for and trust in Tylenol® remains as the brand holds its position as the number one global pain brand while continuing to gain share.

Skin Health and Beauty:

- Organic growth decreased 0.4%, comprised of 6.4% value realization offset by 6.8% volume declines. The impact of portfolio rationalization initiatives in 2022 coupled with market softness in China accounted for approximately two-thirds of the volume decline. Excluding this impact volume would have been down low-single digits. A strong finish to the sun season in the United States with Neutrogena® regaining its Sun Care leadership position, and strength across LATAM and EMEA led by pricing and premiumization supported growth as supply recovery continued in the United States.

Essential Health:

- Organic growth of 3.8% was comprised of 10.0% value realization and 6.2% volume decline. Value realization and strong momentum in Listerine® globally was led by product innovation and healthcare professional endorsement of recent clinical claims. Value realization with brand activation drove strong results across the Women’s Health product category. Global leadership in Baby Care remains strong with healthy growth in the United States partially offset by category and competitive dynamics in Asia Pacific (“APAC”).
