10-K for the fiscal year ended Dec 31, 2025
Filed Feb 12, 2026 · Read the filing on EDGAR
- Sales rose 1.6% to $6,203.2 million, while operating income jumped 33.5% to $1,077.6 million, mainly because 2024 included a $357.1 million vitamin write-down.
- Excluding one-time charges, operating margin was flat and adjusted earnings per share rose only 2.6%, showing modest underlying growth.
- The company reshaped its brands: it bought Touchland, sold the vitamin business, and exited Flawless, Spinbrush and Waterpik showerheads.
- It returned $1,187.2 million to shareholders, including $900.0 million of buybacks, funded with cash on hand, and Waterpik's value cushion shrank to 117%.
Business momentum
Improving
“Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2025 grew 1.6% over 2024, with gains in Consumer Domestic and Consumer International, partially offset by lower sales in SPD due to divestitures.”
Outlook
Cautious
“have resulted in uncertainty regarding the global economy and with respect to our operations and costs”
Financial stress
Low
“We anticipate that our cash from operations, together with our current borrowing capacity, will be sufficient to fund our share repurchase programs to the extent implemented by management, pay debt and interest as it comes due”
Tone against the previous report
About the same
Red flags
- Medium
Large write-down
“the trade name’s carrying value was $644.7, with fair value at 117% of carrying value, down from 135% in 2024”
- Minor
Other
“we incurred a one-time, pre-tax charge of $58.5 (post-tax of $45.6) in the fourth quarter of 2025”
Positives
Operating cash flow grew and covered shareholder payouts of dividends and most buybacks
“Cash provided by operations was $1,215.4 in 2025, a $59.2 increase from the prior year primarily driven by higher cash earnings and working capital improvement actions.”
International business grew faster, driven by more units sold
“Consumer International net sales in 2025 were $1,129.4, an increase of $57.9 or 5.4% as compared to 2024.”
Brand reshuffle shifts focus toward faster-growing products
“The decision to reposition our portfolio with these business exits enables us to devote greater focus to our portfolio’s faster growing value and premium product lines.”
Concerns
Underlying profit fell in the largest US segment as costs rose and prices weakened
“Excluding these non-cash charges, Consumer Domestic income from operations decreased by $15.4 driven by higher manufacturing and distribution expenses of $130.3, and unfavorable price/mix of $24.8”
Gross margin fell on business exit costs and the absence of prior-year tariff refunds
“Gross margin decreased 100 basis points (“bps”) to 44.7% in 2025 from 45.7% in 2024”
Waterpik could need a write-down if its performance keeps slipping
“Further declines in performance or adverse changes could trigger an impairment charge for the WATERPIK trade name.”
New risks since the previous report
Retailers using technology to set more complex prices, adding pressure on prices
“The use of evolving technology to develop more complex pricing models by retailers has led and may continue to lead to pricing pressures in some categories.”
Artificial intelligence making cyberattacks more of a threat
“The rapid evolution and increased adoption of artificial intelligence technologies may intensify our cybersecurity risks.”
Lost sales and profit, or unexpected costs, from selling or exiting businesses
“These and other future potential divestitures could affect the profitability of the Company as a result of the gains or losses on such sale of a business or brand”
Staff turnover rose sharply after job cuts and the vitamin sale
“Overall turnover for 2025 is 24.9%, up from 14.3% in 2024.”
Biggest risks named
- Tariffs and trade policy uncertainty raising costs
- Private label growth, including new brands from largest customers
- Possible Waterpik brand write-down
- Dependence on Walmart and a few large retailers
- Weak consumer spending and shifts to cheaper alternatives

How these scores work
An AI model reads the management discussion, risk factors and legal sections of each report and records what they say, quoting the filing word for word. Fixed rules then turn those findings into a score from 0 to 100, where 60 means nothing notable either way. A score describes the report, not whether the stock is a good investment, and the AI may know how things turned out later, which can colour older scores. Read the methodology
