Previous wording

Many of our products are produced by a limited number of third-party manufacturers. Our ability to retain our current manufacturing relationships and engage in and successfully transition to new relationships or to our own manufacturing facility is critical to our ability to deliver quality products to our customers in a timely manner. Certain of the Company's manufacturers are currently having, and have had in the past, difficulty meeting demand, which is and has caused shortages of our products, particularly eye care products. These shortages have negatively impacted our results of operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, and we expect further shortages may have a negative impact on our sales.

Certain of the Company's manufacturers are currently having, and have had in the past, difficulty meeting demand, which is and has caused shortages of our products, particularly eye care products. These shortages negatively impacted our results of operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025, and we expect further shortages may have a negative impact on our sales. In some cases, we have identified additional third-party manufacturing to supply us with quantities of the product for which we are experiencing shortages, but these additions may not manufacture product in time to fully supplement the long-term forecasted demand.

Previous wording

In the event that our primary third-party manufacturers are unable or unwilling to ship products to us in a timely manner, we would have to rely on secondary manufacturing relationships or, to the extent unavailable, identify and qualify new manufacturing relationships. Because of the unique manufacturing requirements of certain products, the Company may be unable to timely identify or qualify new suppliers or at the quantities, quality and price levels needed. In addition, identifying alternative manufacturers without adequate lead times may involve additional manufacturing expense or delay in production. In some instances, we may seek to transfer the manufacture of certain products to our own facilities, which may result in additional manufacturing expense, delay in production, additional regulatory requirements and other disruptions to our business. In other instances, we have not been able to identify additional third-party manufacturers to supply us with sufficient quantities of the products for which we are currently experiencing shortages, and our own manufacturing facility is not currently able to produce these products. In general, the consequences of not securing adequate, high quality and timely supplies of merchandise has negatively impacted inventory levels, which has adversely impacted our sales, could damage our reputation and result in lost customers, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations if such shortages continue.

Previous wording

Certain of our manufacturers who produce products for us have experienced cash flow shortages, and we have provided short term loans to these suppliers to ensure continuous supply. Most recently, we extended short term loans to a supplier that produces cough/cold and ear care products, which total $5.9 million in the aggregate as of March 31, 2024, to support their continued operation. If they or any other suppliers cease operations or are otherwise unable to continue to supply products to us, or to repay their indebtedness, our results of operations and financial condition would be adversely impacted.

Current wording

Certain of our manufacturers who produce products for us have experienced cash flow shortages, and we have provided both prepayments and short term loans to these suppliers to ensure continuous supply. Most recently, we extended short term loans to a supplier that produces cough/cold and ear care products, which total $7.8 million in the aggregate as of March 31, 2025, to support their continued operation. If they or any other suppliers cease operations or are otherwise unable to continue to supply products to us, or to repay their indebtedness, our results of operations and financial condition would be adversely impacted.

Previous wording

At March 31, 2024, we had relationships with 122 third-party manufacturers. Of those, we had long-term contracts with 26 manufacturers that produced items that accounted for approximately 72.0% of our gross revenues for 2024, compared to 25 manufacturers with long-term contracts that produced approximately 69.8% of gross revenues in 2023. One of our suppliers, a privately owned pharmaceutical manufacturer with whom we have a long-term supply agreement, accounted for more than 10% of our gross revenues during 2024, 2023 and 2022. During 2024, 2023 and 2022, this manufacturer accounted for approximately 20% of our gross revenues while we accounted for a significant portion of their gross revenues over that time period. No other single third-party supplier accounts for 10% or more of our gross revenues. The fact that we do not have long-term contracts with certain manufacturers also means that they could cease manufacturing our products at any time and for any reason or initiate costly price increases, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Although we are continually in the process of negotiating long-term contracts with certain key manufacturers, we may not be able to reach a timely agreement on acceptable terms, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. In addition, even if we do enter into long-term contracts with certain manufacturers, our manufacturers may increase prices under the terms our existing contracts if they experience increases in input costs, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

Current wording

At March 31, 2025, we had relationships with 98 third-party manufacturers. Of those, we had long-term contracts with 16 manufacturers that produced items that accounted for approximately 58% of gross sales for 2025, compared to 26 manufacturers with long-term contracts that accounted for approximately 72% of gross sales in 2024. One of our suppliers, a privately owned pharmaceutical manufacturer with whom we have a long-term supply agreement, produced products that accounted for more than 10% of our gross revenues during 2025, 2024 and 2023. During 2025, 2024 and 2023, this manufacturer accounted for approximately 21%, 20% and 20%, respectively, of our gross revenues while we accounted for a significant portion of their gross revenues over that time period. No other single third-party supplier produces products that account for 10% or more of our gross revenues.

Previous wording

The costs to manufacture and distribute our products are subject to fluctuation based on a variety of factors. Volatility and increases in commodity raw material (e.g. resins) and packaging component prices, labor, energy, and transportation costs, and other input costs, including as a result of supply chain issues or shortages, could significantly affect our profit margin and could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations if our raw material suppliers, third-party manufacturers, logistics providers or distributors pass along those costs to us. Certain product categories have been impacted by higher inflation due to, among other things, the continuing impacts of labor shortages, global supply chain disruptions and the uncertain economic and geopolitical environment, which has negatively impacted our gross margin. Although the impact of these increased costs has not had a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition to date, further input cost increases could have such a material impact.

Previous wording

In this economic environment, the manufacturers we use have and may continue to increase the cost to us of many of the products we purchase, which has impacted and could continue to adversely affect our margins in the event we are unable to pass along these increased costs to our customers or identify and qualify new manufacturers. If we are unable to increase the price for our products to our customers or achieve cost savings in a rising cost environment, any such cost increases would likely further reduce our gross margins and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. If we increase the price of our products in order to maintain our current gross margins for our products, the increase may adversely affect demand for, and sales of, our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We believe that certain of our products could have difficulty absorbing further near-term price increases without potentially impacting market share, which would have a related adverse impact on our revenues.

Our financial performance depends on the stability of conditions that impact consumer spending. Adverse conditions or volatility in financial markets or the economy, including rising interest rates, inflation from rising costs, unemployment, bank failures, and the lack of consumer financing, could adversely impact consumer confidence and reduce disposable income, resulting in reduced consumer spending leading to reduced consumption of our products. Existing volatility in the global economy, including from supply chain issues and rising costs, has not materially impacted consumer spending on our products, but further worsening of these conditions could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

The business of selling brand name consumer products in the OTC health and personal care market is highly competitive. This market includes numerous manufacturers, distributors, marketers and retailers that actively compete for consumers’ business both in the United States and abroad. Many of these competitors are larger and have substantially greater resources than we do, and they may therefore have the ability to spend more aggressively on research and development and advertising and marketing, and to respond more effectively to changing business and economic conditions, including in connection with inflation or recessionary conditions.

In addition, competitors may attempt to gain market share by offering products at prices at or below those typically offered by us. The introduction or expansion of store brand products that compete with our products at a lower price point has and could impact our sales and results of operations. This could be exacerbated by rising costs and other economic conditions that shift consumer demand to lower-priced products, as well as supply chain issues that result in reduced availability for our products. Competitive pricing may require us to reduce prices, which may result in lost revenue or a reduction of our profit margins. Future price adjustments by our competitors or our inability to react with price adjustments of our own could result in a loss of market share, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

During 2024, Walmart and Amazon, which accounted for approximately 19.7% and 10.9% of our gross revenues, were our only customers that accounted for more than 10% of our gross revenues. We expect that for future periods, our top ten customers, including Walmart and Amazon, will, in the aggregate, continue to account for a large and potentially increasing portion of our sales. Many of our customers have sought to obtain lower pricing, more strict logistics requirements or other changes to the customer-supplier relationship. If we are unable to effectively respond to the demands of our customers, these customers could reduce their purchases of our products and increase their purchases of products from competitors. Reductions in inventory by our customers, the loss of one or more of our top customers, including as a result of consolidation in the retail industry, or any significant decrease in sales to these customers based on changes in their strategies or policies, such as a reduction in the number of brands they carry, the amount of shelf space or positioning they dedicate to store brand products or to our particular products, or a significant reduction in our online positioning, could reduce our sales and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, many retailers have implemented inventory management strategies that include reductions in the amount of inventory they carry and related reductions in retail space and may continue such efforts in the future.

Our product distribution in the United States is managed by a third-party through one primary distribution center in Clayton, Indiana. We also operate a manufacturing facility in Lynchburg, Virginia, which manufactures products representing approximately 11% of our gross revenues. A natural disaster, such as tornado, earthquake, flood, or fire at our distribution center or our own or a third-party manufacturing facility could damage our inventory and/or materially impair our ability to distribute our products to customers in a timely manner or at a reasonable cost. In addition, a serious disruption caused by performance or contractual issues with our third-party distribution manager, or labor shortages or contagious disease outbreaks or other public health emergencies at our distribution center or manufacturing facilities could also materially impact our product distribution. Any disruption could result in increased costs, expense and/or shipping times, and could harm our reputation and cause us to incur customer fees and penalties. We could also incur significantly higher costs and experience longer lead times should we be required to replace our distribution center, the third-party distribution manager or our manufacturing facilities. As a result, any serious disruption could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

From time to time we are subject to various product liability claims. Claims could be based on allegations that, among other things, our products contain contaminants, include inadequate instructions or warnings regarding their use, or include inadequate warnings concerning side effects and interactions with other substances. For example, we previously acquired a low sales volume talcum-based product as part of a larger acquisition, which was subsequently discontinued in 2017. The product has been identified in a small number of lawsuits along with other talcum-based products and their manufacturers alleging contamination of the products. To date, most claims against our discontinued product have been voluntarily dismissed and none have resulted in a material loss to the Company. Whether or not successful, product liability claims could result in negative publicity that could adversely affect the reputation of our brands and our sales and financial condition. Additionally, we may be required to pay for losses or injuries purportedly caused by our products, which could negatively impact our financial condition. We could also be required for a variety of reasons to initiate product recalls, which we have done on several occasions. Any product recalls could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In particular, the formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, distribution, importation, marketing, sale and storage of our products are subject to extensive regulation by various U.S. federal agencies, including the FDA, FTC and CPSC, the EPA, and by various agencies of the states, localities and foreign countries in which our products are manufactured, distributed, stored and sold. The FDC Act and FDA regulations require that the manufacturing processes of our facilities and third-party manufacturers of U.S. products must also comply with the FDA’s cGMPs. The FDA inspects our facilities and those of our third-party manufacturers periodically to determine if we and our third-party manufacturers are complying with cGMPs. Following a halt in inspections during the early phases of COVID-19, the FDA has recently increased inspection activity globally, which has resulted in production delays and exacerbated supply chain issues. The health regulatory bodies of other countries have their own regulations and standards, which may impose additional requirements beyond the U.S. FDA cGMPs. In addition, our and our suppliers’ operations are subject to the oversight of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and some suppliers by the National Labor Relations Board. Our activities are also regulated by various agencies of the states, localities and foreign countries in which our products and their constituent materials and components are manufactured and sold. We have successfully moved the manufacture of certain of our more highly regulated products to our own manufacturing facilities, which will subject our facility to increased regulatory requirements and scrutiny with respect to both our existing and new operations there.

Current wording

We are subject to increasing focus on Environmental and Sustainability issues.

Previous wording

While we seek to maintain sustainable operations that are both financially and operationally beneficial to our business, and contribute to the health and wellness of the communities in which we operate, we may experience reduced demand for our products and loss of customers if we do not meet their ESG expectations, which could result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. As climate change, land use, water use, deforestation, recyclability or recoverability of packaging, plastic waste, ingredients and other ESG and sustainability concerns become more prevalent, federal, state and local governments, non-governmental organizations and our customers, consumers and investors are increasingly focused on these issues. This increased focus on sustainability may result in new laws, regulations and requirements that could cause disruptions in or increased costs associated with developing, manufacturing and distributing our products. We could also lose revenue if our consumers change brands, our customers refuse to buy our products, or investors choose not to invest in our debt or common stock if we do not meet their ESG and sustainability expectations. For example, since 2020, some of our major customers requested we respond to various questionnaires to evaluate our ESG efforts. Efforts to meet these standards could impact our costs resulting in reduced profits, and failure to meet our customers’ expectations could impact our sales and business reputation.

We and certain of our suppliers and customers have been, and likely will continue to be, subject to malware, computer viruses, computer hacking, attempted acts of data theft, phishing, other cyber-attacks and employee error or malfeasance related to information technology systems. We do not believe that any of these attacks or events has had a material adverse impact on our business, but future attacks could result in a serious information security breach and have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Previous wording

Increased information technology security threats and more sophisticated computer crime, including advanced persistent threats, pose a potential risk to the security of the information technology systems, networks, and services of the Company, its customers and business partners, as well as the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of the data of the Company, its customers and business partners. As a result, the Company's information technology systems, networks or service providers could be damaged or cease to function properly or the Company could suffer a loss or disclosure of business, personal or stakeholder information, due to any number of causes, including system disruptions, catastrophic events, power outages, cyber-attacks and security breaches. To help guard against these possibilities, the Company provides quarterly employee security training and maintains a compliance program with updated security policies to help evaluate and address potential threats and attacks. The Company has also conducted regular security audits by an outside firm based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology ("NIST") standards to address any potential service interruptions or vulnerabilities. Management regularly reports to the Company’s Board on information security risks and audit results. Further, the Company has implemented continuity and recovery plans in the event of a disruption. However, if these plans do not provide effective protection, the Company may suffer interruptions in its ability to manage or conduct its operations, including in all of the Company’s functions described above, which may adversely affect its business and results of operations. The Company maintains security risk insurance in the event of a cybersecurity breach or incident; however, the coverage may not be sufficient to cover all losses. The Company may need to expend additional resources in the future to continue to protect against, or to address problems caused by, any business interruptions or data security breaches.

The Company has implemented a comprehensive Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan designed to promptly identify, assess, and respond to potential cybersecurity threats and incidents. This plan includes a structured escalation matrix that defines incident severity levels and corresponding response protocols. In accordance with the plan, material cybersecurity matters are escalated to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

As we conduct our operations, we move data across national borders, and consequently we are subject to a variety of continuously evolving and developing laws and regulations in the United States and abroad regarding privacy, data protection and data security. The scope of the laws that may be applicable to us is often uncertain and may be conflicting, particularly with respect to foreign laws. For example, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”), greatly increases the jurisdictional reach of European Union law and adds a broad array of requirements for handling personal data, including the public disclosure of significant data breaches. In addition, several U.S. states have enacted data privacy laws applicable to entities serving or employing residents and other states are doing the same. We may not be able to comply with all of these evolving compliance and operational requirements and to do so may impose significant costs that are likely to increase over time.

The scope of the laws that may be applicable to us is often uncertain and may be conflicting. Numerous local, municipal, state, federal and international law and regulations address privacy and security including but not limited to the California Online Privacy Protection Act, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, and the California Consumer Privacy Act. These privacy and security laws and regulations change frequently, and new legislation continues to be introduced, with over a dozen U.S. states having adopted privacy laws. In Europe, the European Union’s ("EU") General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) greatly increases the jurisdictional reach of EU law and adds a broad array of requirements for handling personal data, including the public disclosure of significant data breaches. In addition, it is important to note that many countries are following the EU in producing a broad omnibus law in relation to privacy protection. We may not be able to comply with all of these evolving compliance and operational requirements and to do so may impose significant costs that are likely to increase over time.

Previous wording

Any increase in applicable interest rates will increase our cost of servicing our variable rate debt and further limit our ability to fund working capital, capital expenditures, and acquisitions. At March 31, 2024, we had $171.0 million of borrowing capacity available under our revolving credit facility to support our operating activities.

Current wording

At March 31, 2025, we had $165.7 million of borrowing capacity available under our revolving credit facility to support our operating activities. We currently have no balance on our revolving credit facility, but future borrowings would be subject to variability in interest rates which could potentially limit our ability to fund working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions.

Previous wording

Our senior credit facility and the indentures governing our senior notes impose restrictions that could impede our ability to enter into certain corporate transactions, as well as increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions, by limiting our flexibility in planning for, and reacting to, changes in our business and industry. These restrictions limit our ability to, among other things:

In addition, our senior credit facility requires us to maintain certain leverage, interest coverage and fixed charge ratios. Although we believe we can continue to meet and/or maintain the financial covenants contained in our credit agreement, our ability to do so may be affected by events outside our control. Covenants in our senior credit facility also require us to use 100% of the proceeds we receive from non-permitted debt issuances or certain issuances of refinancing debt to repay outstanding borrowings under our senior credit facility. Any failure by us to comply with the terms and conditions of the credit agreement and the indentures governing the senior notes could result in an event of default, which may allow our creditors to accelerate our debt and therefore have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Previous wording

The senior credit facility and the indentures governing the senior notes contain provisions that allow the respective creditors to declare all outstanding borrowings under one agreement to be immediately due and payable as a result of a default under another agreement. Consequently, failure to make a payment required by the indentures governing the senior notes, among other things, may lead to an event of default under the senior credit facility. Similarly, an event of default or failure to make a required payment at maturity under the senior credit facility, among other things, may lead to an event of default under the indentures governing the senior notes. If the debt under the senior credit facility and indentures governing the senior notes were both accelerated, the aggregate amount immediately due and payable as of March 31, 2024 would have been approximately $1.1 billion. We presently do not have sufficient liquidity to repay these borrowings in the event they were to be accelerated, and we may not have sufficient liquidity in the future to do so. Additionally, we may not be able to borrow money from other lenders to enable us to refinance our indebtedness. At March 31, 2024, the book value of our current assets was $375.0 million. Although the book value of our total assets was $3,318.4 million, approximately $2,848.3 million was in the form of intangible assets, including goodwill of $527.7 million, a significant portion of which may not be available to satisfy our creditors in the event our debt is accelerated.
