ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview

Unless otherwise indicated by the context, all references in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” or “Prestige” refer to Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. and our subsidiaries. Prior to August 17, 2018, the Company's name was Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc.  Reference to a year (e.g., “2020”) refers to our fiscal year ended March 31 of that year.

We formed as a Delaware corporation in 1996 and are engaged in the development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution of well-recognized, brand name, over-the-counter (“OTC”) healthcare products to mass merchandisers, drug, food, dollar, convenience, club and e-commerce stores in North America (the United States and Canada) and in Australia and certain other international markets.  We use the strength of our brands, our established retail distribution network, a low-cost operating model and our experienced management team to our competitive advantage.  Our ultimate success is dependent on several factors, including our ability to:

•Develop and execute effective sales, advertising and marketing programs to maintain or grow our share versus competitors over time;

•Establish and maintain our manufacturing, third party manufacturing and distribution to fulfill customer demands;

•Develop innovative new products;

•Continue to grow our presence in the United States and international markets through acquisitions and organic growth, and;

•Allocate capital effectively.

We have grown our product portfolio both organically and through acquisitions. We develop our existing brands by investing in new product lines, brand extensions and strong advertising support. Acquisitions of OTC brands have also been an important part of our growth strategy. We pursue this growth following an acquisition through increased spending on advertising and promotional support, new sales and marketing strategies, improved packaging and formulations and innovative development of brand extensions. Our recent acquisition and divestitures are as follows:

•On July 2, 2018, we sold the Comet®, Spic and Span®, Chore Boy®, Chlorinol® and Cinch® brands, as well as associated inventory, for approximately $65.9 million. These brands represented our Household Cleaning segment.

•On January 26, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of C.B. Fleet Company, Inc. ("Fleet") for $823.7 million. As a result of the transaction, we acquired women's health, gastrointestinal and dermatological care OTC brands, including Summer’s Eve, Fleet, and Boudreaux's Butt Paste, as well as a “mix and fill” manufacturing facility in Lynchburg, Virginia.

We conduct our operations in two reportable segments: North American OTC Healthcare and International OTC Healthcare. Our business, business model, competitive strengths and growth strategy face various risks that are described in "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The following summarizes the percent of our net revenues by segment:

(1)We have prepared the information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K with regard to the market position for our brands based in part on data generated by Information Resources, Inc. (“IRI”), for the 52-week period ended March 22, 2020. International information was derived from several sources.

(2)“Market segment” is defined by us and is either a standard IRI category or a segment within a standard IRI category and is based on our product offerings and the categories in which we compete. 

(3)All brands in the North American OTC Healthcare segment are also sold in the International OTC Healthcare segment.

4

Our products are sold through multiple channels, including mass merchandisers and drug, food, dollar, convenience and club stores and e-commerce channels, which reduces our exposure to any single distribution channel.  

Market Position

During 2020, approximately 69.4% of our total revenues were from major brands with a number one market position, compared with approximately 65.8% and 68.1% of total revenues during 2019 and 2018, respectively.  In 2020, these brands included BC/Goody's, Chloraseptic, Clear Eyes, Compound W, Debrox, Dramamine, Fess, Fleet, Gaviscon, Hydralyte, Monistat, Nix, and Summer's Eve.

Competitive Strengths and Growth Strategy

We believe that our product portfolio is positioned for long term growth based on the following factors:

Diversified Portfolio of Well-Recognized and Established Consumer Brands

We own and market a diverse portfolio of well-recognized consumer brands, some of which were established over 100 years ago.  Our diverse portfolio of products provides us with multiple sources of growth and minimizes our reliance on any one product or category. We provide significant marketing support to our portfolio, which is designed to enhance our sales growth and our long-term profitability across our major and other significant brands, sometimes referred to as core brands.  

Strong Competitor in Attractive Categories

We compete in product categories that address recurring consumer needs.  We believe we are well positioned in these categories due to the long history and consumer awareness of our brands, our strong market positions, and our low-cost operating model. The markets in which we sell our products, however, are highly competitive and include numerous national and global manufacturers, distributors, marketers and retailers. As a result, any one or more of our brands could suffer a decline in market position or sales.

Proven Ability to Develop and Introduce New Products

We focus our marketing and product development efforts on the identification of under-served consumer needs, the design of products that directly address those needs, and the ability to extend our highly recognizable brand names to other products. One of our strategies is to broaden the categories in which we participate and increase our share within those categories through ongoing product innovation.  As an example of this philosophy, in 2020 we launched a number of new products, including, but not limited to, Summer's Eve Active, Summer's Eve Blissful Escape Spray, Goody's Hangover, DenTek Cross Flosser, and BC Max. In 2019, we launched Summer's Eve Fresh Cycle, Clear Eyes Advanced Dry & Itchy, DenTek Ultimate Guard, and Compound W Nitrofreeze. While there is always a risk that sales of existing products may be reduced by new product introductions, our goal is to grow the overall sales of our brands.

Investments in Advertising and Promotion

We invest in advertising and promotion to drive the growth of our core brands.  Our marketing strategy is focused primarily on consumer oriented initiatives that target consumers via mass media, digital marketing, in-store programming and coupons.  While the absolute level of marketing expenditures differs by brand and category, we have often increased the amount of investment in our brands after acquiring them.  Advertising and promotional spend on our top five selling brands was approximately 17.9% of the total revenues associated with these brands in 2020.

Increasing Distribution Across Multiple Channels

Our broad distribution base attempts to ensure that our products are well positioned across all available channels and that we are able to participate in changing consumer retail trends.  In an effort to ensure continued sales growth, we continue to focus on expanding our reliance on direct sales while reducing our reliance on brokers for our non-top 25 customers.  

Growing Our International Business

International sales beyond the borders of North America represented 10.8%, 9.6% and 8.8% of total revenues in 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. We have designed and developed both products and packaging for specific international markets and expect that our international revenues as a proportion of our total revenues will continue to grow over the long-term. 

A number of our brands in addition to Fess and Hydralyte, have previously been sold internationally, and we seek to expand the number of brands sold through our existing international distribution network and continue to identify additional distribution partners for further expansion into other international markets.

5

Efficient Operating Model

To gain operating efficiencies, we oversee the production planning and quality control aspects of the manufacturing, warehousing and distribution of our products, while we primarily outsource the operating elements of these functions to well-established third party providers.  This approach allows us to benefit from their core competencies and maintain a highly variable cost structure with low overhead, limited working capital requirements, and minimal investment in capital expenditures.

Management Team with Proven Ability to Acquire, Integrate and Grow Brands

Our business has grown through acquisition and expansion of the many brands we have purchased as a result of the efforts of our experienced management team. Our management team has significant experience in consumer product marketing, sales, legal and regulatory compliance, product development and customer service.  We rely on experienced personnel to bear the substantial responsibility of brand management and to effectuate our growth strategy.

Marketing and Sales

Our marketing strategy is based on the acquisition and the rejuvenation of established consumer brands that possess what we believe to be significant brand value and unrealized potential and to grow categories with existing brands where we have leading market positions.  Our marketing objective is to increase sales and market share by developing innovative new products and line extensions and executing creative and cost-effective advertising and promotional programs.  After we acquire a brand, we implement a brand building strategy that uses the brand’s existing consumer awareness to maximize sales of current products and provides a vehicle to drive growth through product innovation.  This brand building process involves the evaluation of the existing brand name, the development and introduction of innovative new products, and the execution of support programs.  Recognizing that financial resources are limited, we allocate our resources to focus on our core brands with the most impactful, consumer-relevant initiatives that we believe have the greatest opportunities for growth and financial success.  Brand priorities will vary from year-to-year.

Customers

Our senior management team and dedicated sales force strive to maintain long-standing relationships with our top 25 domestic customers.  We also contract with third party sales management enterprises that interface directly with many of our remaining customers and report directly to members of our sales management team.

We enjoy broad distribution across each of the major retail channels, including mass merchandisers, drug, food, dollar, convenience and club stores, and e-commerce channels.  The following table sets forth the percentage of gross sales for our domestic customers across our six major distribution channels during each of the past three years ended March 31:

	Percentage of Gross Sales(1)
Channel of Distribution	2020	2019	2018
Mass	36.5	37.4	37.2
Drug	25.6	26.4	24.6
Food	15.4	15.5	15.8
Dollar	6.6	6.8	9.0
Convenience	3.9	4.0	3.2
Club	1.4	1.6	1.6
Other (2)	10.6	8.3	8.6

(1)Includes estimates for some of our wholesale customers that service more than one distribution channel.

(2)Includes e-commerce retailers such as Amazon.

Due to the diversity of our product lines, we believe that each of these channels is important to our business, and we continue to seek opportunities for growth in each channel.

We believe that our emphasis on strong customer relationships, speed and flexibility and leading sales technology capabilities, combined with consistent marketing support programs and ongoing product innovation, will continue to maximize our competitiveness in the increasingly complex retail environment.

6

During 2020, 2019, and 2018, Walmart accounted for approximately 23.1%, 23.7%, and 23.8%, respectively, of our gross revenues. We expect that for future periods, our top ten customers, including Walmart, will, in the aggregate, continue to account for a large portion of our sales.

Outsourcing and Manufacturing

In order to maximize our competitiveness and efficiently allocate our resources, third party manufacturers fulfill most of our manufacturing needs.  We have found that contract manufacturing often maximizes our flexibility and responsiveness to industry and consumer trends while minimizing the need for capital expenditures.  We select contract manufacturers based on their core competencies and our perception of the best overall value, including factors such as (i) depth of services, (ii) professionalism and integrity of the management team, (iii) manufacturing agility and capacity, (iv) regulatory compliance, and (v) competitive pricing. We ask each of our suppliers to comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct, which sets forth the basic and minimal expectations that all Suppliers must meet in order to do business with us. We also conduct thorough reviews of each potential manufacturer’s facilities, quality standards, capacity and financial stability.  We generally purchase only finished products from our manufacturers.

Our primary contract manufacturers provide comprehensive services from product development through the manufacturing of finished goods.  This management approach results in minimal capital expenditures and maximizes our cash flow, which allows us to reinvest to support our marketing initiatives, fund brand acquisitions or repay outstanding indebtedness.

At March 31, 2020, we had relationships with 113 third party manufacturers.  Of those, we had long-term contracts with 14 manufacturers that produced items that accounted for approximately 62.3% of our gross sales for 2020, compared to 33 manufacturers with long-term contracts that accounted for approximately 65.6% of our gross sales in 2019.  The fact that we do not have long-term contracts with certain manufacturers means that they could cease manufacturing our products at any time and for any reason or initiate arbitrary and costly price increases, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Although we are in the process of negotiating long-term contracts with certain key manufacturers, we may not be able to reach a timely agreement, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We rely on contract manufacturing organizations mostly based out of the United States and Canada for the supply of our goods. Supply and manufacturing agreements govern our commercial relationships with certain of these third party manufacturers. These agreements explicitly outline the manufacturers’ obligations and product specifications with respect to the brand or brands being produced, including allocation of product liability risk. However, the purchase price of products is subject to change pursuant to the terms of these agreements due to fluctuations in input costs such as raw material, packaging components and labor costs.

Some of our other products are manufactured on a purchase order basis, which is generally based on batch sizes and results in no long-term obligations or commitments. To the extent we rely on purchase orders, rather than supply and manufacturing agreements, to govern our commercial relationships with suppliers, we typically rely on implied warranties with respect to the products manufactured, and we do not have specifically negotiated allocation of risk with these third party manufacturers.

We operate a "mix and fill" manufacturing facility in Lynchburg, Virginia, which manufactures products accounting for approximately 15% of our gross sales.

We believe that most of the raw materials and packaging components used to produce our products at our manufacturing facility in Virginia and at our third party manufacturing facilities are readily available through multiple sources. 

Warehousing and Distribution

We manage product distribution in the continental United States through one facility, which is owned and operated by GEODIS Logistics LLC ("GEODIS"), a third party provider. We entered into an agreement with GEODIS in May 2019 and transitioned to this facility from our previous provider during fiscal 2020. Our U.S. warehouse provider provides warehouse services including storage, handling and shipping, as well as transportation services, with respect to our full line of products, including (i) complete management services, (ii) carrier claims administration, (iii) proof of delivery, (iv) procurement, (v) report generation, and (vi) freight payment services.

7

Competition

The business of selling brand name consumer products in the OTC Healthcare category is highly competitive.  This market includes numerous national and global manufacturers, distributors, marketers and retailers that actively compete for consumers’ business both in the United States and abroad.  In addition, like most companies that market products in this category, we are experiencing increased competition from “private label” products introduced by major retail chains.  While we believe that our branded products provide superior quality and benefits, we are unable to predict the extent to which consumers will purchase “private label” products as an alternative to branded products, although we expect that this may increase during an economic downturn.

Our principal competitors include Johnson & Johnson, The Procter & Gamble Company, Reckitt Benckiser, Mondelez International, GlaxoSmithKline, Sunstar America, Inc., Combe, Bayer and Sanofi.

We compete on the basis of numerous factors, including brand recognition, product quality, performance, value to customers, price, and product availability at the retail and e-commerce level.  Advertising, promotion, merchandising and packaging, the timing of new product introductions, and line extensions also have a significant impact on customers’ buying decisions and, as a result, on our sales.  The structure and quality of our sales force, as well as sell-through of our products, affect in-store and online positioning, wall display space and inventory levels for retail sale.  Our markets are also highly sensitive to the introduction of new products, which may rapidly capture a significant share of the market.  

Many of the competitors noted above are larger and have substantially greater research and development and financial resources than we do, and may therefore have the ability to spend more aggressively and consistently on research and development, advertising and marketing, and to respond more effectively to changing business and economic conditions. See “Competitive Strengths” above for additional information regarding our competitive strengths and Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” below for additional information regarding competition in our industry.

Regulation

Product Regulation

The formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, distribution, importation, sale and storage of our products are subject to extensive regulation by various U.S. federal agencies, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC"), the Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”), and the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), and various agencies of the states, localities and foreign countries in which our products are manufactured, marketed, distributed and sold.  Our Regulatory team is guided by a senior member of management and staffed by individuals with appropriate legal and regulatory experience.  Our Regulatory and Operations teams work closely with our third party manufacturers and our own manufacturing operation on quality-related matters, while we monitor our third party manufacturers' compliance with FDA and foreign regulations and perform periodic audits to ensure compliance.  This continual evaluation process is designed to ensure that our manufacturing processes and products are of high quality and in compliance with known regulatory requirements.  If the FDA or a foreign governmental authority chooses to audit a particular third party manufacturing facility, we require the third party manufacturer to notify us immediately and update us on the progress of the audit as it proceeds.  If we or our manufacturers fail to comply with applicable regulations, we could become subject to significant claims or penalties or be required to discontinue the sale of the non-compliant products. In addition, the adoption of new regulations or changes in the interpretations of existing regulations may result in significant additional compliance costs or discontinuation of product sales.

Most of our U.S. OTC drug products are regulated pursuant to the FDA’s monograph system.  The monographs set out the active ingredients and labeling indications that are permitted for certain broad categories of U.S. OTC drug products.  When the FDA has finalized a particular monograph, it has concluded that a properly labeled product formulation is generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded.  A tentative final monograph indicates that the FDA has not made a final determination about products in a category to establish safety and efficacy for a product and its uses.  However, unless there is a serious safety or efficacy issue, the FDA typically will exercise enforcement discretion and permit companies to sell products conforming to a tentative final monograph until the final monograph is published.  Products that comply with either final or tentative final monograph standards do not require pre-market approval from the FDA.

Certain of our U.S. OTC drug products are New Drug Application (“NDA”) or Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) products and are manufactured and labeled in accordance with an FDA-approved submission. These products are subject to reporting requirements as set forth in FDA regulations.

8

Certain of our U.S. OTC Healthcare products are medical devices regulated by the FDA through a system that may involve pre-market clearance.  During the review process, the FDA makes an affirmative determination as to the sufficiency of the label directions, cautions and warnings for the medical devices in question.

Certain of our products are considered cosmetics regulated by the FDA through the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ("FDC Act") and the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act. FDA does not require pre-market clearance for cosmetics but seeks to insure the products are not adulterated or misbranded.

In accordance with the FDC Act and FDA regulations, we and our third party manufacturers of U.S. products must also comply with the FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practices (“GMPs”).  The FDA inspects our facilities and those of our third party manufacturers periodically to determine that both we and our third party manufacturers are complying with GMPs.

A number of our products are regulated by the CPSC under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (the “FHSA”), the Poison Prevention Packaging Act of 1970 (the “PPPA”) and the Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (the “CPSIA”).  In addition, a small number of our products are subject to regulation under the PPPA and can only be legally marketed if they are dispensed in child-resistant packaging or labeled for use in households where there are no children.  The CPSIA requires us to make available to our customers certificates stating that we are in compliance with any applicable regulation administered by the CPSC.  

Nix Lice Control Spray is considered a pesticide under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (“FIFRA”).  Generally speaking, any substance intended for preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any pest is considered to be a pesticide under FIFRA. Pesticides under FIFRA are required to be registered with the EPA and contain certain disclosures on the product labels.  In addition, the contract manufacturers from which we source these products must be registered with the EPA.  Our EPA registered products are also subject to state regulations and the rules and regulations of the various jurisdictions where these products are sold.

Our international business is also subject to product regulations by local regulatory authorities in the various regions where these businesses operate, including regulations regarding manufacturing, labeling, marketing, distribution, sale and storage.

Other Regulations

We are also subject to a variety of other regulations in various foreign markets, including regulations pertaining to import/export and antitrust issues.  To the extent we decide to commence or expand operations in additional countries, we may be required to obtain an approval, license or certification from the country’s ministry of health or comparable agency.  We must also comply with product labeling and packaging regulations that may vary from country to country.  Government regulations in both our domestic and international markets can delay or prevent the introduction, or require the reformulation or withdrawal, of some of our products.  Our failure to comply with these regulations can also result in a product being removed from sale in a particular market, either temporarily or permanently.  In addition, we are subject to FTC and state regulations, as well as foreign regulations, relating to our product claims and advertising.  If we fail to comply with these regulations, we could be subject to enforcement actions and the imposition of penalties.

Intellectual Property

We own a number of trademark registrations and applications in the United States, Canada and other foreign countries.  The following are some of the most significant registered trademarks we own in the United States and/or Canada:  BC, Beano, Boudreaux's Butt Paste, Chloraseptic, Clear Eyes, Compound W, Debrox, DenTek, Dramamine, Fleet, Gaviscon, Goody's, Little Remedies, Luden's, Monistat, Nix, and Summer's Eve.

Our trademarks and tradenames are how we convey that the products we sell are “brand name” products.  Our ownership of these trademarks and tradenames is very important to our business, as it allows us to compete based on the value and goodwill associated with these marks.  We may also license others to use these marks.  Additionally, we own or license patents on innovative and proprietary technology.  The patents evidence the unique nature of our products, provide us with exclusivity, and afford us protection from the encroachment of others.  None of the patents that we own or license, however, is material to us on a consolidated basis. Enforcing our rights, or the rights of any of our licensors, represented by these trademarks, tradenames and patents is critical to our business and may require significant expense.  If we are not able to effectively enforce our rights, others may be able to dilute our trademarks, tradenames and patents and diminish the value associated with our brands and technologies.

We do not own all of the intellectual property rights applicable to our products.  In those cases where our third party manufacturers own patents that protect our products, we are dependent on them as a source of supply for our products. In addition, we rely on our suppliers for their enforcement of their intellectual property rights against infringing products.

9

Seasonality

The first quarter of our fiscal year generally is the least profitable quarter due to the increased advertising and promotional spending to support those brands with a summer selling season, such as Clear Eyes products and Compound W, and generally the lowest level of sales attributable to multiple factors.  The effectiveness of advertising and promotional campaigns in the third quarter influences sales of our cough/cold products, such as Chloraseptic, Little Remedies, and Luden's, during the fourth quarter cough and cold winter months.  Additionally, the fourth quarter typically has the lowest level of advertising and promotional spending as a percent of revenue.

Employees

We employed approximately 520 full time and no part time individuals at March 31, 2020. Of our approximately 520 employees, approximately 360 are non-production employees.  None of our employees are a party to a collective bargaining agreement.  Management believes that our relations with our employees are good.

Backlog Orders

We define backlog as orders with requested delivery dates requiring shipment prior to March 31st that were not shipped as of March 31st. We had $6.4 million backlog orders as of March 31, 2020 and no significant backlog orders as of March 31, 2019. The backlog orders at March 31, 2020 were a result of the increase in customer orders due to the impacts of COVID-19 and related pantry loading.

Coronavirus Outbreak

In January 2020, the World Health Organization ("WHO") announced a global health crisis due to a new strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19"). In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic. This pandemic is affecting the United States and global economies, including causing significant volatility in the global economy and resulting in materially reduced economic activity. If the outbreak continues to spread or if we enter a period of recession or depression, it may materially affect our operations and those of third parties on which we rely, including causing disruptions in the supply and distribution of our products. We may need to limit operations and may experience material limitations in employee resources. We did see an increase in sales at the end of March 2020 related to the United States shelter-in-place restrictions, followed by a significant decrease in consumer consumption in the weeks that followed. It has been reported to us that there has been an increase in absenteeism at our distribution center and some of our suppliers, however, we have not experienced a material disruption to our overall supply chain. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19, and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. We do not yet know the full extent of impacts on our business or the global economy. However, these effects could have a material, adverse impact on our liquidity, capital resources, operations and business and those of the third parties on which we rely.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The current pandemic from the outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus, or COVID-19, could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition, and the continuation of this pandemic, further outbreaks of COVID-19, or any future outbreak of other highly infectious diseases or public health emergencies could have a similar impact.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created, and will likely continue to create, significant volatility in the global economy and result in materially reduced economic activity, and it is possible that it could cause a global recession. Numerous government orders and restrictions implemented to reduce the spread of COVID-19 have required many businesses to temporarily close or limit operations and have mandated that individuals substantially restrict daily activities, which has adversely affected workforces, customers, and consumer sentiment, decreased consumer spending and increased unemployment.

Our operations are impacted by consumer spending levels, the availability of our products at retail stores or for online purchase, and our ability to manufacture and distribute products to our customers and consumers in an effective and efficient manner. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has not yet materially adversely impacted any of our business segments or our operations, we could experience a material adverse impact in future quarters if conditions persist. In particular, we could experience adverse impacts from COVID-19 in a number of ways, including, but not limited to, the following:

•supply chain delays or stoppages due to closed supplier facilities or distribution center, reduced workforces, scarcity of raw materials and scrutiny or embargoing of goods produced in infected areas;

•shutdown of our manufacturing facility due to illness or government order;

•reduced consumer demand for our products as a result of the economic downturn or restrictions on in-person purchases;

•change in demand for or availability of our products as a result of retailers or distributors modifying their restocking, fulfillment, or shipping practices;

•decrease in our ability to develop innovative products due to reprioritization of suppliers and/or retailers;

•increase in working capital needs and/or an increase in trade accounts receivable write-offs as a result of increased financial pressures on our suppliers or customers;

•impairment in the carrying value of goodwill or intangible assets or a change in the useful life of definite-lived intangible assets from sustained changes in consumer purchasing behaviors, government restrictions, or financial results;

•increase in raw material and other input costs resulting from market volatility; and

•fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates resulting from market uncertainties.

At the same time, we experienced increased demand at the end of March 2020 for certain products that appear to treat, alleviate or prevent symptoms of COVID-19. Any further increased demand for these products could cause a strain on our supply chain at our retail customers. In addition, this increased demand may not be replicated in future quarters, and the initial increased demand we experienced for certain products was followed by a significant decrease in consumer consumption.

Operationally, although we have initiated a work remotely protocol and restricted business travel of our workforce, if significant portions of our workforce, including key personnel, are unable to work effectively because of illness, government actions, or other restrictions in connection with the pandemic, the impact of the pandemic on our business could be exacerbated. It has been reported to us that there has been an increase in absenteeism at our distribution center and some of our suppliers, however, we have not experienced a material disruption to our overall supply chain. Additionally, COVID-19 could negatively affect our internal controls over financial reporting as a portion of our workforce is required to work from home and therefore new processes, procedures, and controls could be required to respond to changes in our business environment.

While the COVID-19 pandemic has not yet negatively impacted our results of operations, the extent to which it, and the related global economic downturn, could affect our business, results of operations and financial condition in future quarters will depend on developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the severity and duration of the outbreak and any recovery period, future actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic, and the impact on our customers, employees and suppliers, distributors and other service providers. In addition, our supply and distribution chains may be disrupted by supplier or dealer bankruptcies or permanent discontinuation of operations. Accordingly, the ultimate impact on our financial condition and results of operations cannot be determined at this time. Nonetheless, we anticipate that it could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition, including by negatively impacting the demand for our products, restricting our operations and sales, marketing and distribution efforts, disrupting supply chain and manufacturing processes and other important business activities. Moreover, the effects of the

12

COVID-19 pandemic will exacerbate the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The high level of competition in our industry, much of which comes from competitors with greater resources, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The business of selling brand name consumer products in the OTC Healthcare category 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 may therefore have the ability to spend more aggressively on research and development, advertising and marketing, and to respond more effectively to changing business and economic conditions.  If this were to occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Certain of our product lines that account for a large percentage of our sales have a smaller market share relative to our competitors.  In some cases, we may have a number one market position but still have a relatively small share of the overall market. Alternatively, we may hold a number two market position but have a substantially smaller share of the market versus the number one competitor.  See “Part I, Item 1. Business - Major Brands” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding market share.

We compete for consumers’ attention based on a number of factors, including brand recognition, product quality, performance, value to consumers, price and product availability at the retail level.  Advertising, promotion, merchandising and packaging and the timing of new product introductions and line extensions also have a significant impact on consumer buying decisions and, as a result, on our sales. Our markets are highly sensitive to the introduction of new products, which may rapidly capture a significant share of the market.  New product innovations by our competitors, or our failure to develop new products, the failure of a new product launch by the Company, or the obsolescence of one or more of our products, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If our advertising, marketing and promotional programs are not effective, our sales may decline. In addition, the introduction or expansion of store brand products that compete with our products has impacted and could in the future impact our sales and results of operations.

The structure and quality of our sales force, as well as sell-through of our products, affect in-store position, wall display space and inventory levels for retail sale.  If we are unable to maintain our current distribution network, product offerings for retail sale, inventory levels and in-store (and online) positioning of our products, our sales and operating results could be adversely affected.

In addition, competitors may attempt to gain market share by offering products at prices at or below those typically offered by us.  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.

We depend on a limited number of customers with whom we have no long-term agreements for a large portion of our gross sales, and the loss of one or more of these customers could reduce our gross sales and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

During 2020, Walmart, which accounted for approximately 23.1% of our gross sales, was our only customer that accounted for more than 10% of our gross revenues.  We expect that for future periods, our top ten customers, including Walmart, will, in the aggregate, continue to account for a large and potentially increasing portion of our sales.  The loss of one or more of our top customers, or any significant decrease in sales to these customers based on changes in their strategies including a reduction in the number of brands they carry, the amount of shelf space or positioning they dedicate to store brand products, inventory management, or a significant decrease in our retail display space or online positioning or in any of these customers’ stores, could reduce our sales and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, our business is based primarily upon individual sales orders.  We typically do not enter into long-term contracts with our customers.  Accordingly, our customers could cease buying products or reduce the number of items they buy from us at any time and for any reason.  The fact that we do not have long-term contracts with our customers means that we have no recourse in the event a customer no longer wants to purchase products from us or reduces the number of items purchased.  If a significant number of our smaller customers, or any of our significant customers, elect not to purchase products from us, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

13

We primarily depend on third party manufacturers to produce the products we sell.  If we are unable to maintain these manufacturing relationships or fail to enter into additional relationships, as necessary, we may be unable to meet customer demand and our business, sales and profitability could suffer as a result.

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 is critical to our ability to deliver quality products to our customers in a timely manner.  Without adequate supplies of quality merchandise, our sales would decrease materially and our business would suffer.  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 qualify new suppliers in a timely way or at the quantities, quality and price levels needed. From time to time, certain of the Company's manufacturers have had difficulty meeting demand, which can cause shortages of our products. In such instances, we may not be able to identify or qualify secondary manufacturers for such products in a timely manner, and such manufacturers may not allocate sufficient capacity to allow us to meet our commitments to customers.  In addition, identifying alternative manufacturers without adequate lead times may involve additional manufacturing expense, delay in production or product disadvantage in the marketplace. In general, the consequences of not securing adequate, high quality and timely supplies of merchandise would negatively impact inventory levels, which could damage our reputation and result in lost customers and sales, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The manufacturers we use have historically and may continue to increase the cost of many of the products we purchase, which could 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.  Increased costs could also have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

At March 31, 2020, we had relationships with 113 third party manufacturers.  Of those, we had long-term contracts with 14 manufacturers that produced items that accounted for approximately 62.3% of our gross sales for 2020, compared to 33 manufacturers with long-term contracts that produced approximately 65.6% of gross sales in 2019.  The fact that we do not have long-term contracts with certain manufacturers means that they could cease manufacturing our products at any time and for any reason or initiate arbitrary and costly price increases, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Although we are in the process of negotiating long-term contracts with certain key manufacturers, we may not be able to reach a timely agreement, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Price increases for raw materials, labor, energy, transportation costs and other manufacturer, logistics provider or distributor demands could have an adverse impact on our margins.

The costs to manufacture and distribute our products are subject to fluctuation based on a variety of factors. Increases in commodity raw material (including resins), packaging component prices, and labor, energy and fuel costs and other input costs could have a significant 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. If we are unable to increase the price for our products to our customers or continue to achieve cost savings in a rising cost environment, any such cost increases would likely 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, such increase may adversely affect demand for, and sales of, our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Disruption in our third party distribution center or our Virginia manufacturing facility may prevent us from meeting customer demand, and our sales and profitability may suffer as a result.

In 2020, we moved our product distribution in the United States to be managed by a third party through one primary distribution center in Clayton, Indiana, and with the acquisition of Fleet, we operate one manufacturing facility located in Lynchburg, Virginia, which manufactures products comprising approximately 15% of our gross revenues. A natural disaster, such as tornado, earthquake, flood, or fire, 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 a third party distribution manager or contagious disease outbreaks or other public health emergencies could also materially impact our product distribution. For example, we previously identified the integration of Fleet as one factor that could create significant disruption, and the COVID-19 pandemic or another outbreak could materially impair our distribution network if our distribution facilities were required to close or limit operations due to illness or government order.

14

Any disruption as a result of business integration, contagious disease outbreaks, or third party performance at our distribution center could result in increased costs, expense and/or shipping times, and could cause us to incur customer fees and penalties. In addition, any serious disruption to our Lynchburg manufacturing facility could materially impair our ability to manufacture many of the Summer's Eve and Fleet products, which would also limit our ability to provide those products to customers in a timely manner or at a reasonable cost. 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 managers or the manufacturing facility. As a result, any serious disruption could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our inability to successfully identify, negotiate, complete and integrate suitable acquisition candidates and to obtain necessary financing could have an adverse impact on our growth and our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Achievement of our strategic objectives includes the acquisition, or potentially the disposition, of certain brands or product lines, and these acquisitions and dispositions may not be successful.

The majority of our historical growth has been driven by acquiring other brands and companies. At any given time, we may be engaged in discussions with respect to possible acquisitions that are intended to enhance our product portfolio, enable us to realize cost savings, and further diversify our category, customer and channel focus. Our ability to successfully grow through acquisitions depends on our ability to identify, negotiate, complete and integrate suitable acquisition candidates and to obtain any necessary financing. However, we may not be able to identify and successfully negotiate suitable strategic acquisitions at attractive valuations, obtain financing for future acquisitions on satisfactory terms, or otherwise complete future acquisitions. These acquisition efforts could also divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations. All acquisitions entail various risks such that after completing an acquisition, we may also experience:

•Difficulties in integrating any acquired companies, suppliers, personnel and products into our existing business;

•Difficulties in realizing the benefits of the acquired company or products, including expected returns, margins, synergies and profitability;

•Higher costs of integration than we anticipated;

•Exposure to unexpected liabilities of the acquired business;

•Difficulties in retaining key employees of the acquired business who are necessary to operate the business;

•Difficulties in maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies throughout our acquired companies; or

•Adverse customer or stockholder reaction to the acquisition.

As a result, any acquisitions we pursue or complete could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results from operations. In addition, any acquisition could adversely affect our operating results as a result of higher interest costs from any acquisition-related debt and higher amortization expenses related to the acquired intangible assets.

In the event that we decide to divest of a brand or product line, we may encounter difficulty finding, or be unable to find, a buyer on acceptable terms in a timely manner.

Additionally, the pursuit of acquisitions and divestitures could also divert management's attention from our business operations and result in a delay in our efforts to achieve our strategic objectives.

Our risks associated with doing business internationally increase as we expand our international footprint.

During 2020, 2019, and 2018, approximately 10.8%, 9.6% and 8.8%, respectively, of our total revenues were attributable to our international business. We generally rely on brokers and distributors for the sale of our products in foreign countries. In addition, some of our third party manufacturers are located outside the United States. Risks of doing business internationally include, but are not limited to:

15

•Political instability or declining economic conditions in the countries or regions where we operate that adversely affect sales of our products;

•Currency controls that restrict or prohibit the payment of funds or the repatriation of earnings to the United States;

•Fluctuating foreign exchange rates that result in unfavorable increases in the price of our products or cause increases in the cost of certain products purchased from our foreign third party manufacturers;

•Compliance with laws and regulations concerning ethical business practices;

•Trade restrictions and exchange controls;

•Difficulties in staffing and managing international operations;

•Difficulty in protecting our intellectual property rights in these markets; and

•Increased costs of compliance with general business and tax regulations in these countries or regions.

As our operations grow internationally, we become increasingly dependent on foreign distributors and sales agents for compliance and adherence to foreign laws and regulations that we may not be familiar with, and we cannot be certain that these distributors and sales agents will adhere to such laws and regulations or adhere to our business practices and policies. Any violation of laws and regulations by foreign distributors or sales agents or a failure of foreign distributors or sales agents to comply with applicable business practices and policies could result in legal or regulatory sanctions or potentially damage our reputation. If we fail to manage these risks effectively, we may not be able to grow our international operations, and our business and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

In addition, the United Kingdom's (the “UK”) exit from the European Union (commonly referred to as “Brexit”), has caused and is likely to continue to cause volatility in exchange rates and on market conditions in the UK and the European Union, as well as global economic uncertainty and volatility. The effects of Brexit will depend on any agreements the UK ultimately makes to retain access to the European Union markets, but such agreements could disrupt trade and the free movement of goods, services and people between the UK and the European Union. Our operations in the UK represent less than 1% of our total revenues. The potential implications of Brexit, including following the transition or implementation period scheduled to end on December 31, 2020, could have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

Consumption trends for our products may not correlate to our results of operations.

We regularly review consumption levels for our core brands to provide an indication of the strength of our expected results of operations. Total company consumption is based on domestic IRI multi-outlet + C-Store retail sales for the relevant period, retail sales from other third parties for certain untracked e-commerce channels in North America for leading retailers, Australia consumption based on IMS data, and other international net revenues as a proxy for consumption. Our calculation of consumption levels may not accurately reflect actual retail consumption, given the limitations of the tracked data primarily with respect to Amazon, Costco and international sales. 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. For example, we have previously reported that consumption gains have been offset by inventory reductions at key retailers, and we expect that trend to continue. As a result, consumption trends may not accurately reflect trends in our results of operations.

If new products and product line extensions do not gain widespread customer acceptance or are otherwise discontinued, the Company's financial performance could be impacted.

The Company's future performance and growth depends on its ability to successfully develop and introduce new products and product line extensions. We cannot be certain that we will achieve our innovation goals. The successful development and introduction of new products involves substantial research, development, marketing and promotional expenditures, which the Company may be unable to recover if the new products do not gain widespread market acceptance. New product development and marketing efforts, including efforts to enter markets or product categories in which the Company has limited or no prior experience, have inherent risks. These risks include product development or launch delays, competitor actions, regulatory approval hurdles and the failure of new products and line extensions to achieve anticipated levels of market acceptance.

Regulatory matters governing our industry could have a significant negative effect on our sales and operating costs.

16

In both the United States and in our foreign markets, our operations are affected by extensive laws, governmental regulations, administrative determinations, court decisions and similar constraints.  Such laws, regulations and other constraints exist at the federal, state and local levels in the United States and at analogous levels of government in foreign jurisdictions.

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 GMPs.  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 GMPs. The health regulatory bodies of other countries have their own regulations and standards, which may or may not be consistent with the U.S. FDA GMPs.  A history of general compliance in the past is not a guarantee that future GMPs will not mandate other compliance steps and associated expense.

If we or our third party manufacturers or distributors fail to comply with applicable regulations, we could become subject to enforcement actions, significant penalties or claims, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.  In addition, we could be required to:

•Suspend manufacturing operations;

•Modify product formulations or processes;

•Suspend the sale or require a recall of products with non-complying specifications; or

•Change product labeling, packaging, marketing, or advertising, recall non-compliant products, or take other corrective action.

The adoption of new regulations or changes in the interpretation of existing regulations may result in significant compliance costs or the cessation of product sales and may adversely affect the marketing of our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, our failure to comply with FDA, FTC, EPA or any other federal and state regulations, or with similar regulations in foreign markets, that cover our product registration, product claims and advertising, including direct claims and advertising by us, may result in enforcement actions and imposition of penalties, litigation by private parties, or otherwise materially adversely affect the distribution and sale of our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Product liability claims and product recalls and related negative publicity could adversely affect our sales and operating results.

We are dependent on consumers’ perception of the safety and quality of our products. Negative consumer perception may arise from product liability claims and product recalls, regardless of whether such claims or recalls involve us or our products. The mere publication of information asserting concerns about the safety of our products or the ingredients used in our products could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. For example, some of our products contain the active ingredient acetaminophen, which is a pain reliever and fever reducer. We believe our products are safe and effective when used in accordance with label directions. However, adverse publicity about acetaminophen or other ingredients used in our products may discourage consumers from buying our products containing those ingredients, which would have an adverse impact on our sales.

From time to time we are subjected 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.  Whether or not successful, product liability claims could result in negative publicity that could adversely affect the reputation of our brands and our business, sales and operating results.  Additionally, we may be required to pay for losses or injuries purportedly caused by our products.  In addition, we could 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.

Although we have supply and manufacturing agreements with certain of our third party manufacturers, which explicitly outline the allocation of product liability risk with respect to the products these manufacturers produce, some of our other products are

17

manufactured on a purchase order basis. To the extent we rely on purchase orders to govern our commercial relationships with suppliers, we have not specifically negotiated the allocation of risk for product liability obligations. Instead, we typically rely on implied warranties from the suppliers with respect to these products. As a result, we may have difficulty enforcing these implied warranties, and we may bear all or a significant portion of any product liability obligations rather than transferring this risk to our third party manufacturers.

In addition, although we maintain, and require our suppliers and third party manufacturers to maintain, product liability insurance coverage, potential product liability claims may exceed the amount of insurance coverage or may be excluded under the terms of the policy, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.  In addition, in the future we may not be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage or we may be required to pay higher premiums and accept higher deductibles in order to secure adequate insurance coverage.

If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to compete effectively in the market for our products could be negatively impacted.

The market for our products depends to a significant extent upon the goodwill associated with our trademarks, tradenames and patents.  Our trademarks and tradenames convey that the products we sell are “brand name” products.  We believe consumers ascribe value to our brands, some of which are over 100 years old.  We own or license the material trademarks, tradenames and patents used in connection with the packaging, marketing and sale of our products.  These rights prevent our competitors or new entrants to the market from using our valuable brand names and technologies.  Therefore, trademark, tradename and patent protection is critical to our business.  Although most of our material intellectual property is registered in the United States and in applicable foreign countries, we may not be successful in asserting protection.  If we were to lose the exclusive right to use one or more of our intellectual property rights, the loss of such exclusive right could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, other parties may infringe on our intellectual property rights and may thereby dilute the value of our brands in the marketplace.  Brand dilution could cause confusion in the marketplace and adversely affect the value that consumers associate with our brands, which could negatively impact our business and sales.  In addition, third parties may assert claims against our intellectual property rights, and we may not be able to successfully resolve those claims, which would cause us to lose the right to use the intellectual property subject to those claims.  Such loss could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.  Furthermore, from time to time, we may be involved in litigation in which we are enforcing or defending our intellectual property rights, which could require us to incur substantial fees and expenses and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We license certain of our trademarks to third party licensees, who are bound by their respective license agreements to protect our trademarks from infringement and adhere to defined quality requirements.  If a licensee of our trademarks fails to adhere to the contractually defined quality requirements, our business and financial results could be negatively impacted if one of our brands suffers a substantial impairment to its reputation due to real or perceived quality issues.  Further, if a licensee fails to protect one of our licensed trademarks from infringement, we might be required to take action, which could require us to incur substantial fees and expenses.

We depend on third parties for intellectual property relating to some of the products we sell, and our inability to maintain or enter into future license agreements may result in our failure to meet customer demand, which would adversely affect our operating results.

We have licenses or manufacturing agreements with third parties that own intellectual property (e.g., formulae, copyrights, trademarks, trade dress, patents and other technology) used in the manufacture and sale of certain of our products.  In the event that any such license or manufacturing agreement expires or is otherwise terminated, we will lose the right to use the intellectual property covered by such license or agreement and will have to develop or obtain rights to use other intellectual property.  Similarly, our rights could be reduced if the applicable licensor or third party manufacturer fails to maintain or protect the licensed intellectual property because, in such event, our competitors could obtain the right to use the intellectual property without restriction.  If this were to occur, we might not be able to develop or obtain replacement intellectual property in a timely or cost effective manner.  Additionally, any modified products may not be well-received by customers.  The consequences of losing the right to use or having reduced rights to such intellectual property could negatively impact our sales due to our failure to meet consumer demand for the affected products or require us to incur costs for the development of new or different intellectual property, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.  In addition, development of replacement products may be time-consuming and ultimately may not be feasible.

18

Virtually all of our assets consist of goodwill and intangible assets and are subject to impairment risk.

As our financial statements indicate, virtually all of our assets consist of goodwill and intangible assets, principally the trademarks, tradenames and patents that we have acquired.  On an annual basis, and otherwise when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of intangible assets might not be recoverable, we assess the potential impairment of our goodwill and other intangible assets. Upon any such evaluation, we may be required to record a significant charge in our financial statements, which would negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations. We recorded non-cash impairment charges in 2019 and 2018 for certain assets.  If any of our brands sustain significant or prolonged declines in revenues or profitability or performance not in line with our expectations, the carrying value may no longer be recoverable, in which case a non-cash impairment charge may be recorded in future periods. For example, if the Company’s brand performance is weaker than projections used in valuation calculations, the value of such brands may become impaired. In the event that such analysis would result in the fair value being lower than the carrying value, we would be required to record an impairment charge. Although we experienced revenue declines in certain brands in the past, we continue to believe that the fair value of our brands exceed their carrying values as adjusted. However, sustained or significant future declines in revenue, profitability, lost distribution, other adverse changes in expected operating results, and/or unfavorable changes in economic factors used to estimate fair value of certain brands could indicate that the fair value no longer exceeds the carrying value, in which case a non-cash impairment charge may be recorded in future periods. Should the value of those assets or other assets become further impaired or our financial condition is materially adversely affected in any way, we would not have tangible assets that could be sold to repay our liabilities. As a result, our creditors and investors may not be able to recoup the amount of the indebtedness that they have extended to us or the amount they have invested in us.

We depend on our key personnel, and the loss of the services provided by any of our executive officers or other key employees could harm our business and results of operations.

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of our senior management.  These employees may voluntarily terminate their employment with us at any time.  We may not be able to successfully retain existing personnel or identify, hire and integrate new personnel.  While we believe we have developed depth and experience among our key personnel, our business may be adversely affected if one or more of these key individuals were to leave or were to experience serious illness, become disabled, or pass away.  We do not maintain any key-man or similar insurance policies covering any of our senior management or key personnel.

Our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition, and the significant amount of cash we need to service our debt would not be available to reinvest in our business.

At March 31, 2020, our total indebtedness, including current maturities, was approximately $1.7 billion.

Our indebtedness could:

•Increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

•Limit our ability to engage in strategic acquisitions;

•Require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations toward repayment of our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and investments and other general corporate purposes;

•Limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the markets in which we operate;

•Place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and

•Limit, among other things, our ability to borrow additional funds on favorable terms or at all.

The terms of the indentures governing our 6.375% senior notes due March 1, 2024 (the "2016 Senior Notes") and our 5.125% senior unsecured notes due January 15, 2028 (the "2019 Senior Notes"), and the credit agreement governing the 2012 Term Loan and 2012 ABL Revolver, allow us to issue and incur additional debt only upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in those respective agreements.  If new debt is added to current debt levels, the related risks described above could increase.

In July 2017, the head of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority announced plans to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. Our 2012 Term Loan and 2012 ABL Revolver currently use LIBOR as a benchmark for establishing the

19

interest rate.  If LIBOR ceases to exist and we do not want to use the alternative base rate under our 2012 Term Loan or 2012 ABL Revolver, we may need to renegotiate the terms of that indebtedness to replace LIBOR with the new standard that is established. There is currently no definitive information regarding the future utilization of LIBOR or of any particular replacement rate. The potential effect of eliminating LIBOR could increase the cost of our variable rate indebtedness.

At March 31, 2020, we had $107.3 million of borrowing capacity available under the 2012 ABL Revolver to support our operating activities.

Our operating flexibility is limited in significant respects by the restrictive covenants in our senior credit facility and the indentures governing our senior notes.

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:

•Borrow money or issue guarantees;

•Pay dividends, repurchase stock from, or make other restricted payments to, stockholders;

•Make investments or acquisitions;

•Use assets as security in other transactions;

•Sell assets or merge with or into other companies;

•Enter into transactions with affiliates;

•Sell stock in our subsidiaries; and

•Limits our subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us.

Our ability to engage in these types of transactions is generally limited by the terms of the senior credit facility and the indentures governing the senior notes, even if we believe that a specific transaction would positively contribute to our future growth, operating results or profitability.  

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 debt issuances 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.

20

The senior credit facility and the indentures governing the senior notes contain cross-default provisions that could result in the acceleration of all of our indebtedness.

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 had both been accelerated, the aggregate amount immediately due and payable as of March 31, 2020 would have been approximately $1.7 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, 2020, the book value of our current assets was $365.7 million.  Although the book value of our total assets was $3,513.9 million, approximately $3,054.6 million was in the form of intangible assets, including goodwill of $575.2 million, a significant portion of which may not be available to satisfy our creditors in the event our debt is accelerated.

Any failure to comply with the restrictions of the senior credit facility, the indentures governing the senior notes or any other subsequent financing agreements may result in an event of default.  Such default may allow the creditors to accelerate the related debt, as well as any other debt to which the cross-acceleration or cross-default provisions apply.  In addition, the lenders may be able to terminate any commitments they had made to supply us with additional funding.  As a result, any default by us under our credit agreement, indentures governing the senior notes or any other financing agreement could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Litigation may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business is subject to the risk of, and from time to time in the ordinary course of business we are involved in, litigation by employees, customers, consumers, suppliers, competitors, regulators, stockholders or others through private actions, class actions, administrative proceedings, regulatory actions or other litigation.  The outcome of litigation, particularly class action lawsuits and regulatory actions, is difficult to assess or quantify.  Plaintiffs in these types of lawsuits may seek recovery of very large or indeterminate amounts, and the magnitude of the potential loss relating to such lawsuits may remain unknown for substantial periods of time.  The cost to defend current and future litigation may be significant.  There may also be adverse publicity associated with litigation that could decrease customer acceptance of our products, regardless of whether the allegations are valid or whether we are ultimately found liable. For example, although our marketing is evidence-based, consumers and competitors may challenge, and have challenged, certain of our marketing claims by alleging, among other things, false and misleading advertising with respect to advertising for certain of our products. Such challenges could result in our having to pay monetary damages or limit our ability to maintain current marketing claims. Conversely, we have, and may be required in the future to initiate litigation against others to protect the value of our intellectual property and the related goodwill or enforce an agreement or contract that has been breached.  These matters may be time consuming and expensive, but may be necessary to protect our assets and realize the benefits of the agreements and contracts that we have negotiated.  As a result, litigation may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The trading price of our common stock may be volatile.

The trading price of our common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to several factors, some of which are beyond our control, including, but not limited to (i) general stock market volatility, (ii) variations in our quarterly operating results, (iii) our leveraged financial position, (iv) potential sales of additional shares of our common stock, (v) perceptions associated with the identification of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, (vi) general trends in the consumer products industry, (vii) changes by securities analysts in their estimates or investment ratings, (viii) the relative illiquidity of our common stock, (ix) voluntary withdrawal or recall of products, (x) news regarding litigation in which we are or become involved, (xi) potential changes in demand for common stock related to the Company's inclusion in the S&P MidCap 400 index, and (xii) general marketplace conditions brought on by economic recession.

We have no current intention of paying dividends to holders of our common stock.

We presently intend to retain our earnings, if any, for use in our operations, to facilitate strategic acquisitions, to repurchase our common stock, or to repay our outstanding indebtedness and have no current intention of paying dividends to holders of our common stock.  In addition, our debt instruments limit our ability to declare and pay cash dividends on our common stock.  As

21

a result, a shareholder's only opportunity to achieve a return on their investment in our common stock will be if the market price of our common stock appreciates and they sell their shares at a profit.

Our annual and quarterly results of operations may fluctuate significantly and could fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors due to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, resulting in a decline in the price of our securities.

Our annual and quarterly results of operations may fluctuate significantly because of numerous factors, including, but not limited to:

•The timing of when we make acquisitions, execute divestitures or introduce new products;

•Our inability to increase the sales of our existing products and expand their distribution;

•The timing of the introduction or return to the market of competitive products and the introduction of store brand products;

•Inventory management resulting from consolidation among our customers;

•Adverse regulatory or market events in the United States or in our international markets;

•Changes in consumer preferences, spending habits and competitive conditions, including the effects of competitors’ operational, promotional or expansion activities;

•Seasonality of our products or demand for our products as a result of an outbreak of illness;

•Fluctuations in commodity prices, product costs, utilities and energy costs, prevailing wage rates, insurance costs and other costs;

•The discontinuation and return of our products from retailers;

•Our ability to recruit, train and retain qualified employees, and the costs associated with those activities;

•Changes in advertising and promotional activities and expansion to new markets;

•Negative publicity relating to us and the products we sell;

•Litigation matters;

•Unanticipated increases in infrastructure costs;

•Impairment of goodwill or long-lived assets;

•Changes in interest rates; and

•Changes in accounting, tax, regulatory or other rules applicable to our business.

Our quarterly operating results and revenues may fluctuate as a result of any of these or other factors. Accordingly, results for any one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other quarter or for any year, and revenues for any particular future period may decrease.  In the future, operating results may fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors.  In that event, the market price of our outstanding securities could be adversely impacted.

Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and Delaware law may discourage potential acquirers of our company, which could adversely affect the value of our securities.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that our Board of Directors is authorized to issue from time to time, without further stockholder approval, up to five million shares of preferred stock in one or more series of preferred stock issuances.  Our Board of Directors may establish the number of shares to be included in each series of preferred stock and determine, as applicable, the voting and other powers, designations, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and

22

restrictions for such series of preferred stock.  The shares of preferred stock could have preferences over our common stock with respect to dividends and liquidation rights.  We may issue additional preferred stock in ways which may delay, defer or prevent a change in control of the Company without further action by our stockholders.  The shares of preferred stock may be issued with voting rights that may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our common stock by increasing the number of outstanding shares having voting rights, and by the creation of class or series voting rights.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, contains additional provisions that may have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire or attempt to acquire control of our company.  In addition, we are subject to certain provisions of Delaware law that limit, in some cases, our ability to engage in certain business combinations with significant stockholders.

These provisions, either alone, or in combination with each other, give our current directors and executive officers the ability to significantly influence the outcome of a proposed acquisition of the Company.  These provisions would apply even if an acquisition or other significant corporate transaction was considered beneficial by some of our stockholders.  If a change in control or change in management is delayed or prevented by these provisions, the market price of our outstanding securities could be adversely impacted.

We rely significantly on information technology. Any inadequacy, interruption, theft or loss of data, malicious attack, integration failure, failure to maintain the security, confidentiality or privacy of sensitive data residing on our systems or other security failure of that technology could harm our ability to effectively operate our business and damage the reputation of our brands.

The Company relies extensively on information technology systems, some of which are managed by third party service providers, to conduct its business. We rely on our information technology systems (some of which are outsourced to third parties) to manage the data, communications and business processes for all of our functions, including our marketing, sales, manufacturing, logistics, customer service, accounting and administrative functions. These systems include, but are not limited to, programs and processes relating to internal communications and communications with other parties, ordering and managing materials from suppliers, converting materials to finished products, shipping product to customers, billing customers and receiving and applying payment, processing transactions, summarizing and reporting results of operations, complying with regulatory, legal or tax requirements, collecting and storing customer, consumer, employee, investor, and other stakeholder information and personal data, and other processes necessary to manage the Company's business.

We have been, and likely will continue to be, subject to malware, computer viruses, computer hacking, acts of data theft, phishing, other cyber-attacks and employee error or malfeasance related to our information technology systems. We do not believe that any of these attacks or events have had a material adverse impact on our business, but future attacks could have a material adverse impact.

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 other business partners, as well as the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of the data of the Company, its customers and other 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 catastrophic events, power outages and security breaches. The Company has conducted regular security audits by an outside firm to address any potential service interruptions or vulnerabilities. However, if these plans do not provide effective protection, the Company may suffer interruptions in its ability to manage or conduct its operations, which may adversely affect its business. 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.

Any breach of our data security could result in an unauthorized release or transfer of customer, consumer, user or employee information, or the loss of valuable business data or cause a disruption in our business. These events could give rise to unwanted media attention, damage our reputation, damage our customer, consumer or user relationships and result in lost sales, fines or lawsuits or adversely impact the Company's results of operations and financial condition. We may also be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against or respond to or alleviate problems caused by a security breach. If we are unable to prevent material failures, our operations may be impacted, and we may suffer other negative consequences such as reputational damage, litigation, remediation costs and/or penalties under various data privacy laws and regulations.

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

23

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 (“GDPR”), which 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, became effective in May 2018. 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.

Our information technology systems may be susceptible to disruptions.

We utilize information technology systems to improve the effectiveness of our operations and support our business, including systems to support financial reporting and an enterprise resource planning system. During post-production and future enterprise resource planning phases, we could be subject to transaction errors, processing inefficiencies and other business disruptions that could lead to the loss of revenue or inaccuracies in our financial information. The occurrence of these or other challenges could disrupt our information technology systems and adversely affect our operations.

Changes in our provision for income taxes or adverse outcomes resulting from examination of our income tax returns could adversely affect our results.

Our provision for income taxes is subject to volatility and could be adversely affected by several factors, some of which are outside of our control, including:

•Changes in the income allocation methods for state taxes, and the determination of which states or countries have jurisdiction to tax our Company;

•An increase in non-deductible expenses for tax purposes, including certain stock-based compensation, executive compensation and impairment of goodwill;

•Transfer pricing adjustments;

•Tax assessments resulting from tax audits or any related tax interest or penalties that could significantly affect our income tax provision for the period in which the settlement takes place;

•Tax liabilities from acquired businesses;

•Changes in accounting principles; and

•Changes in tax laws or related interpretations, accounting standards, regulations, and interpretations in multiple tax jurisdictions in which we operate.

Significant judgment is required to determine the recognition and measurement of the attributes prescribed in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740. As a multinational corporation, we conduct our business in several countries and are subject to taxation in many jurisdictions. The taxation of our business is subject to the application of multiple and sometimes conflicting tax laws and regulations as well as multinational tax conventions. Our effective tax rate is dependent upon the availability of tax credits and carryforwards. The application of tax laws and regulations is subject to legal and factual interpretation, judgment and uncertainty. Tax laws themselves are subject to change as a result of changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation, and the evolution of regulations and court rulings. Consequently, taxing authorities may impose tax assessments or judgments against us that could materially impact our tax liability and/or our effective income tax rate.

In addition, we may be subject to examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. If tax authorities challenge the relative mix of our U.S. and international income, or successfully assert the jurisdiction to tax our earnings, our future effective income tax rates could be adversely affected.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

We lease our corporate headquarters located in Tarrytown, New York, a suburb of New York City.  Primary functions performed at the Tarrytown facility include marketing, sales, operations, quality control, regulatory affairs, finance, information technology and legal.  The lease expires on December 31, 2027.

Our logistics provider, GEODIS, has leased a warehouse on our behalf located in Clayton, Indiana. This property serves as our primary warehouse. The lease expires on September 30, 2024.

We own an office and manufacturing facility in Lynchburg, Virginia.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved from time to time in routine legal matters and other claims incidental to our business.  We review outstanding claims and proceedings internally and with external counsel as necessary to assess probability and amount of potential loss.  These assessments are re-evaluated at each reporting period and as new information becomes available to determine whether a reserve should be established or if any existing reserve should be adjusted.  The actual cost of resolving a claim or proceeding ultimately may be substantially different than the amount of the recorded reserve.  In addition, because it is not permissible under GAAP to establish a litigation reserve until the loss is both probable and estimable, in some cases there may be insufficient time to establish a reserve prior to the actual incurrence of the loss (upon verdict and judgment at trial, for example, or in the case of a quickly negotiated settlement).  We believe the resolution of routine matters and other incidental claims, taking our reserves into account, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

None.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the “Selected Financial Data” and the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  This discussion and analysis may contain forward-looking statements that involve certain risks, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied or described by the forward-looking statements.  Future results could differ materially from the discussion that follows for many reasons, including the factors described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as those described in future reports filed with the SEC.

General

We are engaged in the development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution of well-recognized, brand name OTC healthcare and, prior to the sale of our Household Cleaning segment on July 2, 2018, household cleaning products to mass merchandisers, drug, food, dollar, convenience and club stores, and e-commerce channels in North America (the United States and Canada) and in Australia and certain other international markets.  We use the strength of our brands, our established retail distribution network, a low-cost operating model and our experienced management team to create our competitive advantage.

We have grown our product portfolio both organically and through acquisitions. We develop our existing brands by investing in new product lines, brand extensions and strong advertising support. Acquisitions of OTC brands have also been an important part of our growth strategy. We have acquired strong and well-recognized brands from consumer products and pharmaceutical companies and private equity firms. While certain of these brands have long histories of brand development and investment, we believe that, at the time we acquired them, most were considered “non-core” by their previous owners. As a result, these acquired brands did not benefit from adequate management focus and marketing support during the period prior to their acquisition, which created opportunities for us to reinvigorate these brands and improve their performance post-acquisition. After adding a core brand to our portfolio, we seek to increase its sales, market share and distribution in both existing and new channels through our established retail distribution network.  We pursue this growth through increased spending on advertising and promotional support, new sales and marketing strategies, improved packaging and formulations and innovative development of brand extensions.

Coronavirus Outbreak

In January 2020, the World Health Organization ("WHO") announced a global health crisis due to a new strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19"). In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic. This pandemic is affecting the United States and global economies, including causing significant volatility in the global economy and resulting in materially reduced economic activity. If the outbreak continues to spread or if we enter a period of recession or depression, it may materially affect our operations and those of third parties on which we rely, including causing disruptions in the supply and distribution of our products. We may need to limit operations and may experience material limitations in employee resources. We did see an increase in sales at the end of March 2020 related to the United States shelter-in-place restrictions, followed by a significant decrease in consumer consumption in the weeks that followed. It has been reported to us that there has been an increase in absenteeism at our distribution center and some of our suppliers, however, we have not experienced a material disruption to our overall supply chain. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19, and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. We do not yet know the full extent of impacts on our business or the global economy. However, these effects could have a material, adverse impact on our liquidity, capital resources, operations and business and those of the third parties on which we rely.

Tax Reform

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Act"). The Tax Act represented significant U.S. federal tax reform legislation including a permanent reduction to the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate. The permanent reduction to the federal corporate income tax rate resulted in a one-time benefit of $267.0 million related to the value of our deferred tax liabilities and a benefit of $3.2 million related to the lower blended tax rate on our earnings in the year ended March 31, 2018, resulting in a net benefit of $270.2 million. Additionally, the Tax Act subjects certain of our cumulative foreign earnings and profits to U.S. income taxes through a deemed repatriation, which resulted in a charge of $1.9 million in the year ended March 31, 2018.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") was enacted and signed into law in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Certain provisions of the CARES Act impacted us and were reflected in our 2020 income tax provision computations. The CARES Act contains modifications on the limitation of business interest for tax years

30

beginning in 2019 and 2020. The modifications to Section 163(j) increase the allowable business interest deduction from 30% of adjusted taxable income to 50% of adjusted taxable income. This modification increased our allowable interest expense deduction and resulted in a lower taxable income for 2020. As a result of the CARES Act, it is anticipated that we will fully utilize the interest expense deduction on our 2020 tax return.

Acquisition and Divestiture

On July 2, 2018, we sold the Comet®, Spic and Span®, Chore Boy®, Chlorinol® and Cinch® brands, as well as associated inventory. These brands represented our Household Cleaning segment. As a result of this transaction, we recorded a pre-tax gain on sale of $1.3 million.

On January 26, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of Fleet pursuant to a merger agreement, dated as of December 22, 2016, for $823.7 million. The purchase price was funded by available cash on hand, additional borrowings under our asset-based revolving credit facility (the "2012 ABL Revolver"), and a new $740.0 million senior secured incremental term loan under our existing term loan facility (the "2012 Term Loan"). As a result of the merger, we acquired women's health, gastrointestinal and dermatological care OTC brands, including Summer’s Eve, Fleet, and Boudreaux's Butt Paste, as well as a “mix and fill” manufacturing facility in Lynchburg, Virginia. The financial results from the Fleet acquisition are included in the Company's North American and International OTC Healthcare segments.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  While all significant accounting policies are important to our Consolidated Financial Statements, certain of these policies may be viewed as being critical.  Such policies are those that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require our most difficult, subjective and complex estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses or the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  These estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. The following are our most critical accounting estimates:

Revenue Recognition, Customer Programs and Variable Consideration

Revenue is recognized when control of a promised good is transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for that good. This occurs either when finished goods are transferred to a common carrier for delivery to the customer or when product is picked up by the customer or the customer’s carrier.

Once a product has transferred to the common carrier or been picked up by the customer, the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the product. It is at this point that we have a right to payment and the customer has legal title.

Provisions for certain rebates, customer promotional programs, product returns, and discounts to customers are accounted for as variable consideration and recorded as a reduction in sales.

We record an estimate of future product returns, chargebacks and logistic deductions concurrent with recording sales, which is made using the most likely amount method which incorporates (i) historical return rates, (ii) current economic trends, (iii) changes in customer demand, (iv) product acceptance, (v) seasonality of our product offerings, and (vi) the impact of changes in product formulation, packaging and advertising.

We participate in the promotional programs of our customers to enhance the sale of our products. These promotional programs consist of direct-to-consumer incentives, such as coupons and temporary price reductions, as well as incentives to our customers, such as allowances for new distribution, including slotting fees, and cooperative advertising. The costs of such activities are recorded as a reduction to revenue when the related sale takes place. Estimates of the costs of these promotional programs are derived using the most likely amount method, which incorporates (i) historical sales experience, (ii) the current promotional offering, (iii) forecasted data, (iv) current market conditions, and (v) communication with customer purchasing/marketing personnel. At the completion of the promotional program, the estimated amounts are adjusted to actual results.

Pension Obligations and Expense

Certain employees of our Lynchburg manufacturing facility are covered by defined benefit pension plans. The Company’s policy is to contribute at least the minimum amount required under The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). The Company may elect to make additional contributions. Benefits are based on years of service and levels of

31

compensation. On December 16, 2014, the decision was made to freeze the benefits under the Company's U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan with an effective date of March 1, 2015.

Our discount rate assumption for our defined benefit plans changed to a range of 3.37% to 3.55% at March 31, 2020 from a range of 3.80% to 3.99% at March 31, 2019. While we do not currently anticipate a change in our fiscal 2021 assumptions, as a sensitivity measure, a 0.25% decline or increase in our qualified discount rate would increase or decrease our qualified pension expense by less than $0.1 million. Similarly, a 0.25% decrease or increase in the expected return on our pension plan assets would increase or decrease our qualified pension expense by approximately $0.1 million.

The amounts that we recognize in our financial statements for pension benefit obligations are determined by actuarial valuations. Inherent in these valuations are certain assumptions, the more significant of which are: (i) the weighted average used for discounting the liability, (ii) the weighted average expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets, (iii) the method used to determine the market-related value of pension plan assets, and (iv) the anticipated mortality rate tables. We believe the current assumptions used to estimate plan obligations and pension expense are appropriate in the current economic environment. However, as economic conditions change, we may change some of our assumptions, which could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

The funded status of our pension plans is dependent upon many factors, including returns on invested assets and the level of certain market interest rates. We review pension assumptions regularly and we may from time to time make voluntary contributions to our pension plans that exceed the amounts required by statute. During fiscal 2020, we made total contributions to our pension plans of $1.4 million. We expect to make a contribution of $1.0 million to our qualified defined benefit pension plan during fiscal 2021. Changes in interest rates and the market value of the securities held by the plans could materially change, positively or negatively, the funded status of the plans and affect the level of pension expense and required contributions.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets amounted to $3,054.6 million and $3,085.8 million at March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.  At March 31, 2020 and 2019, goodwill and intangible assets were apportioned among similar product groups within our operating segments as follows:

	March 31, 2020
(In thousands)	North American OTC Healthcare		International OTC Healthcare		Consolidated
Goodwill	$	546,643	$	28,536	$	575,179

Finite-lived	228,743		5,276		234,019
Intangible assets, net	2,424,360		82,850		2,507,210
Total	$	2,971,753	$	114,040	$	3,085,793

At March 31, 2020 the brands with the highest carrying value were Monistat, Summer's Eve, BC/Goody's, DenTek and Fleet, comprising 62.5% of our total intangible assets value.

Goodwill and intangible assets comprise substantially all of our assets.  Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.  Intangible assets generally represent our tradenames, brand names and patents.  When we acquire a brand, we are required to make judgments regarding the value assigned to the associated intangible assets, as well as their respective useful lives.  Management considers many factors both prior to and after the acquisition of an intangible asset in determining the value, as well as the useful life, assigned to each intangible asset that we acquire or continue to own and promote.

The most significant factors are:

•Brand History

A brand that has been in existence for a long period of time (e.g., 25, 50 or 100 years) generally warrants a higher valuation and longer life (sometimes indefinite) than a brand that has been in existence for a very short period of time.  A brand that has been in existence for an extended period of time generally has been the subject of considerable investment by its previous owner(s) to support product innovation and advertising and promotion.

•Market Position

Consumer products that rank number one or two in their respective market generally have greater name recognition and are known as quality product offerings, which warrant a higher valuation and longer life than products that lag in the marketplace.

•Recent and Projected Sales Growth

Recent sales results present a snapshot as to how the brand has performed in the most recent time periods and represent another factor in the determination of brand value.  In addition, projected sales growth provides information about the strength and potential longevity of the brand.  A brand that has both strong current and projected sales generally warrants a higher valuation and a longer life than a brand that has weak or declining sales.  Similarly, consideration is given to the potential investment, in the form of advertising and promotion, required to reinvigorate a brand that has fallen from favor.

•History of and Potential for Product Extensions

Consideration is given to the product innovation that has occurred during the brand’s history and the potential for continued product innovation that will determine the brand’s future.  Brands that can be continually enhanced by new product offerings generally warrant a higher valuation and longer life than a brand that has always “followed the leader”.

After consideration of the factors described above, as well as current economic conditions and changing consumer behavior, management prepares a determination of an intangible asset’s value and useful life based on its analysis.  Under accounting guidelines, goodwill is not amortized, but must be tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below the carrying amount.  In a similar manner, indefinite-lived assets are not amortized.  They are also subject to an annual impairment test or more

33

frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired.  Additionally, at each reporting period an evaluation must be made to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life.  Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and must also be tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable and exceeds its fair value.

On an annual basis, during the fourth fiscal quarter, concurrent with our annual strategic planning process, or more frequently if conditions indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recovered, management performs a review of both the values and, if applicable, useful lives assigned intangible assets and tests for impairment.

We currently report goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in two reportable segments: North American OTC Healthcare and International OTC Healthcare. We sold our Household Cleaning segment on July 2, 2018; see above under "Acquisition and Divestiture" for further information.  We identify our reporting units in accordance with the FASB ASC Subtopic 280. The carrying value and fair value for intangible assets and goodwill for a reporting unit are calculated based on key assumptions and valuation methodologies previously discussed.  As a result, any material changes to these assumptions could require us to record additional impairment in the future.

In the past, we have experienced declines in revenues and profitability of certain brands in the North American OTC Healthcare segment.  Sustained or significant future declines in revenue, profitability, other adverse changes in expected operating results, and/or unfavorable changes in other economic factors used to estimate fair values of certain brands could indicate that fair value no longer exceeds carrying value, in which case additional non-cash impairment charges may be recorded in future periods.

Goodwill

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and whenever events and circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. As of February 29, 2020 (our annual impairment review date) and March 31, 2020, we had 15 reporting units with goodwill. As part of our annual test for impairment of goodwill, management estimates the discounted cash flows of each reporting unit to estimate their respective fair values.  In performing this analysis, management considers current information and future events, such as competition, technological advances and changes in advertising support for our trademarks and tradenames that could cause subsequent evaluations to utilize different assumptions.  The discount rate utilized in the analysis, as well as future cash flows, may be influenced by such factors as changes in interest rates and rates of inflation. Additionally, should the related fair value of goodwill be adversely affected as a result of declining sales or margins caused by competition, changing consumer needs or preferences, technological advances or changes in advertising and promotional expenses, we may be required to record additional impairment charges in the future. In addition, we considered our market capitalization at February 29, 2020, as compared to the aggregate fair values of our reporting units, to assess the reasonableness of our estimates pursuant to the discounted cash flow methodology. An impairment charge is then recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value.

At February 29, 2020, in conjunction with the annual test for goodwill impairment, there were no indicators of impairment under the analysis and accordingly, no impairment charge was taken.

As a result of our analysis at February 29, 2020, all reporting units tested had a fair value that exceeded their carrying value by at least 10%. We performed a sensitivity analysis on our weighted average cost of capital and determined that a 50 basis point increase in the weighted average cost of capital would not have resulted in any of our reporting unit’s implied fair value being less than their carrying value. Additionally, a 50 basis point decrease in the terminal growth rate used for each reporting unit would also not have resulted in any of our reporting units’ implied fair value being less than their carrying value.

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Indefinite-lived intangibles are tested for impairment annually and whenever events and circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. We utilize the excess earnings method to estimate the fair value of our individual indefinite-lived intangible assets. The discount rate utilized in the analysis, as well as future cash flows, may be influenced by such factors as changes in interest rates and rates of inflation.

At each reporting period, management analyzes current events and circumstances to determine whether the indefinite life classification for a trademark or tradename continues to be valid.  If circumstances warrant a change to a finite life, the carrying value of the intangible asset would then be amortized prospectively over the estimated remaining useful life.

Management tests the indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment by comparing the carrying value of the intangible asset to its estimated fair value.  Since quoted market prices are seldom available for trademarks and tradenames such as ours, we utilize present value techniques to estimate fair value.  Accordingly, management’s projections are utilized to assimilate all of

34

the facts, circumstances and expectations related to the trademark or tradename and estimate the cash flows over its useful life.  In a manner similar to goodwill, future events, such as competition, technological advances and changes in advertising support for our trademarks and tradenames, could cause subsequent evaluations to utilize different assumptions.  Once that analysis is completed, a discount rate is applied to the cash flows to estimate fair value. In connection with this analysis, management:

•Reviews period-to-period sales and profitability by brand;

•Analyzes industry trends and projects brand growth rates;

•Prepares annual sales forecasts;

•Evaluates advertising effectiveness;

•Analyzes gross margins;

•Reviews contractual benefits or limitations;

•Monitors competitors’ advertising spend and product innovation;

•Prepares projections to measure brand viability over the estimated useful life of the intangible asset; and

•Considers the regulatory environment, as well as industry litigation.

At February 29, 2020, in conjunction with the annual test for impairment of intangible assets, there were no indicators of impairment under the analysis and accordingly, no impairment charge was taken.

We performed a sensitivity analysis of our weighted average cost of capital, and we determined that a 50 basis point increase in the weighted average cost of capital used to value the indefinite-lived intangibles would not have resulted in any of our indefinite-lived intangible asset's fair value being less than their carrying value. Additionally, a 50 basis point decrease in the terminal growth rate used for each of our indefinite-lived intangibles would also not have resulted in any of our indefinite-lived intangible asset's fair value being less than their carrying value.

Finite-Lived Intangible Assets

On an annual basis or when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable, management performs a review similar to indefinite-lived intangible assets to ascertain the impact of events and circumstances on the estimated useful lives and carrying values of our trademarks and tradenames.

If the analysis warrants a change in the estimated useful life of the intangible asset, management will reduce the estimated useful life and amortize the carrying value prospectively over the shorter remaining useful life.  Management’s projections are utilized to assimilate all of the facts, circumstances and expectations related to the trademark or tradename and estimate the cash flows over its useful life.  Future events, such as competition, technological advances and changes in advertising support for our trademarks and tradenames, could cause subsequent evaluations to utilize different assumptions.  In the event that the long-term projections indicate that the carrying value is in excess of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the intangible assets, management is required to record an impairment charge.  Once that analysis is completed, a discount rate is applied to the cash flows to estimate fair value.  The impairment charge is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the intangible asset over fair value, as calculated using the excess earnings method.

At February 29, 2020, in conjunction with the annual test for impairment of intangible assets, there were no indicators of impairment of our finite-lived intangible assets under the analysis and accordingly, no impairment charge was taken.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Compensation and Equity topic of the FASB ASC 718 requires us to measure the cost of services to be rendered based on the grant-date fair value of the equity award.  For most of our awards, compensation expense is to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, generally referred to as the requisite service period. We also grant performance stock units which are contingent on the attainment of certain goals of the Company.  Information utilized in the determination of fair value includes the following:

•Type of instrument (i.e., restricted shares, stock options, warrants or performance shares);

•Strike price of the instrument;

•Market price of our common stock on the date of grant;

•Discount rates;

•Duration of the instrument; and

•Volatility of our common stock in the public market.

Additionally, management must estimate the expected attrition rate of the recipients to enable it to estimate the amount of non-cash compensation expense to be recorded in our financial statements.  While management prepares various analyses to

35

estimate the respective variables, a change in assumptions or market conditions, as well as changes in the anticipated attrition rates, could have a significant impact on the future amounts recorded as non-cash compensation expense.

Total segment revenues for 2020 were $963.0 million, a decrease of $12.8 million, or 1.3%, versus 2019. The $12.8 million decrease was primarily related to the sale of our Household Cleaning segment on July 2, 2018.

North American OTC Healthcare Segment

Revenues for the North American OTC Healthcare segment decreased $3.1 million, or 0.4%, during 2020 versus 2019. The $3.1 million decrease was primarily attributable to inventory reductions at certain key retailers, partly offset by increased consumption in part due to the immediate reaction to the COVID-19 demand which we do not expect to continue indefinitely.

International OTC Healthcare Segment

36

Revenues for the International OTC Healthcare segment increased $10.1 million, or 10.8%, during 2020 versus 2019. The $10.1 million increase was primarily attributable to increased consumption and geographic expansion of product distribution, partly offset by the impact of unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates.

Household Cleaning Segment

Due to the sale of our Household Cleaning segment on July 2, 2018, there were no related revenues in the year ended March 31, 2020.

The following table represents our gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of total segment revenues, by segment for each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Gross profit for 2020 decreased $3.4 million, or 0.6%, versus 2019. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to decreases in gross profit within the North American OTC Healthcare segment and the sale of our Household Cleaning segment.   As a percentage of total revenues, gross profit increased to 57.3% in 2020 from 56.9% in 2019. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenues was primarily a result of the divestiture of our Household Cleaning segment, which had lower gross margins, and the increase in gross profit on our International OTC Healthcare segment, which has higher gross margins, partly offset by certain costs associated with a change in warehouse locations.

North American OTC Healthcare Segment

Gross profit for the North American OTC Healthcare segment decreased $10.7 million, or 2.1%, during 2020 versus 2019.  As a percentage of North American OTC Healthcare revenues, gross profit decreased to 56.7% during 2020 from 57.7% during 2019, primarily due to certain costs associated with a change in our warehouse locations.

International OTC Healthcare Segment

Gross profit for the International OTC Healthcare segment increased $10.5 million, or 19.4%, during 2020 versus 2019. As a percentage of International OTC Healthcare revenues, gross profit increased to 62.7% during 2020 from 58.2% during 2019, primarily due to product mix.

Household Cleaning Segment

Due to the sale of our Household Cleaning segment on July 2, 2018, there were no related gross profit in the year ended March 31, 2020.

North American OTC Healthcare Segment

Contribution margin for the North American OTC Healthcare segment decreased $12.3 million, or 3.3%, during 2020 versus 2019. As a percentage of North American OTC Healthcare revenues, contribution margin for the North American OTC Healthcare segment decreased to 41.8% during 2020 from 43.1% during 2019. The contribution margin decrease as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to the gross profit decrease in the North American OTC Healthcare segment discussed above.

International OTC Healthcare Segment

Contribution margin for the International OTC Healthcare segment increased $7.6 million, or 20.0%, during 2020 versus 2019. As a percentage of International OTC Healthcare revenues, contribution margin for the International OTC Healthcare segment increased to 44.2% during 2020 from 40.8% during 2019. The contribution margin increase as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to the gross profit increase as a percentage of revenues in the International OTC Healthcare segment discussed above.

Household Cleaning Segment

Due to the sale of our Household Cleaning segment on July 2, 2018, there were no related contribution margin in the year ended March 31, 2020.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses were $89.1 million for 2020 versus $89.8 million for 2019. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to divestiture costs in the prior period associated with the sale of the Household Cleaning segment, partly offset by higher professional fees in the current period.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense was $24.8 million for 2020 versus $27.0 million for 2019. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses was primarily due to the sale of our Household Cleaning segment on July 2, 2018, as well as lower amortization expense resulting from prior year intangible asset impairments, which were recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.

Goodwill and Tradename Impairment

As a result of our impairment analysis at February 28, 2019, we recorded total goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges in 2019 of $229.5 million. Goodwill impairment represented $33.5 million related to our North American Oral Care reporting unit. Intangible asset impairment represented $195.9 million and was comprised of $155.0 million of indefinite-lived intangible assets (Fleet, DenTek and Efferdent/Effergrip) and $41.0 million of various finite-lived intangible assets. The impairment charges were the result of our reassessment of the long-term sales projections based on our annual planning cycle, as well as an overall increase in the discount rate used to value the brands. The assets impaired are all part of our North American OTC Healthcare segment.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $96.6 million during 2020 versus $105.3 million during 2019.  The average indebtedness decreased from $1.9 billion during 2019 to $1.8 billion during 2020. The average cost of borrowing remained constant at 5.4% for 2020 and 2019.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

During 2020, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.2 million to write off the debt costs related to our 5.375% 2013 Senior Notes, which we redeemed in December 2019.

Income Taxes

The provision/benefit for income taxes during 2020 was a provision of $48.9 million versus a benefit of $2.3 million in 2019.  The effective tax rate on income before income taxes was 25.6% during 2020 versus 5.9% during 2019. The increase in the effective tax rate for 2020 compared to 2019 was primarily due to impairment charges in 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our primary source of cash comes from our cash flow from operations. In the past, we have supplemented this source of cash with various debt facilities, primarily in connection with acquisitions. We have financed our operations, and expect to continue to finance our operations over the next twelve months, with a combination of funds generated from operations and borrowings.  Our principal uses of cash are for operating expenses, debt service, share repurchase, capital expenditures, and acquisitions. Based on our current levels of operations and anticipated growth, excluding acquisitions, we believe that our cash generated from operations and our existing credit facilities will be adequate to finance our working capital and capital expenditures through the next twelve months, although no assurance can be given in this regard.

2020 compared to 2019

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $217.1 million for 2020 compared to $189.3 million for 2019.  The $27.8 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to an increase in net income after non-cash items and decreased working capital.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $16.6 million for 2020 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $55.4 million for 2019.  This change was primarily due to proceeds of $65.9 million from the divestiture of our Household Cleaning segment in the year ended March 31, 2019 and higher capital expenditures in 2020.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $131.4 million for 2020 compared to $249.3 million for 2019.  The decrease was primarily due to decreased repayments of debt of $77.0 million in 2020 compared to 2019 and increased borrowings of $55.0 million in 2020 on our revolving credit facility. We paid down more debt in 2019 due to the proceeds received from the divestiture of our Household Cleaning segment. This decrease in debt repayments was partly offset by the payment of debt costs of $6.6 million and the higher repurchase of our shares in conjunction with our share repurchase program of $6.7 million in 2020.

2019 compared to 2018

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $189.3 million for 2019 compared to $210.1 million for 2018.  The $20.8 million decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the reduction in net income following the sale of our Household Cleaning segment.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $55.4 million for 2019 compared to a use of net cash in investing activities of $11.6 million for 2018.  This change was primarily due to proceeds from the divestiture of our Household Cleaning segment in the year ended March 31, 2019.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $249.3 million for 2019 compared to $209.0 million for 2018.  This change was primarily due to the repurchase of shares of our common stock in conjunction with our share repurchase program in the year ended March 31, 2019.

2012 Term Loan and 2012 ABL Revolver:

On January 31, 2012, Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. ("the Borrower") entered into a senior secured credit facility, which consists of (i) a $660.0 million 2012 Term Loan with an original 7-year maturity and (ii) a $50.0 million asset-based 2012 ABL Revolver with an original 5-year maturity. In subsequent years, we have utilized portions of our accordion feature to increase the amount of our borrowing capacity under the 2012 ABL Revolver by $85.0 million to $135.0 million and reduced our borrowing rate on the 2012 ABL Revolver by 0.25% (discussed below). The 2012 Term Loan was issued with an original issue discount of 1.5% of the principal amount thereof, resulting in net proceeds to the Borrower of $650.1 million. The 2012 Term Loan is unconditionally guaranteed by Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. and certain of its domestic 100% owned subsidiaries, other than the Borrower. Each of these guarantees is joint and several. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of any of the guarantors to obtain funds from their subsidiaries or to make payments to the Borrower or the Company.

On February 21, 2013, we entered into Amendment No. 1 ("Term Loan Amendment No. 1") to the 2012 Term Loan. Term Loan Amendment No. 1 provided for the refinancing of all of the Borrower's existing Term B Loans with new Term B-1 Loans (the "Term B-1 Loans"). The interest rate on the Term B-1 Loans under Term Loan Amendment No. 1 was based, at our option, on a LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.75% per annum, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%, or an alternate base rate, with a floor of 2.00%, plus a margin. In addition, Term Loan Amendment No. 1 provided the Borrower with certain additional capacity to prepay subordinated debt, the 2012 Senior Notes and certain other unsecured indebtedness permitted to be incurred under the credit agreement governing the 2012 Term Loan and 2012 ABL Revolver.

On September 3, 2014, we entered into Amendment No. 2 ("Term Loan Amendment No. 2") to the 2012 Term Loan.

Also on September 3, 2014, we entered into Amendment No. 3 ("ABL Amendment No. 3") to the 2012 ABL Revolver. ABL Amendment No. 3 provided for (i) a $40.0 million increase in revolving commitments under the 2012 ABL Revolver and (ii) increased flexibility under the credit agreement governing the 2012 Term Loan and 2012 ABL Revolver, including additional investment, restricted payment and debt incurrence flexibility. Borrowings under the 2012 ABL Revolver, as amended, bore interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin, plus, at our option, either (i) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate of Citibank, N.A., and (c) the LIBOR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month, adjusted for certain additional costs, plus 1.00% or (ii) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing, adjusted for certain additional costs. The applicable margin for borrowings under the 2012 ABL Revolver could be increased to 2.00% or 2.25% for LIBOR borrowings and 1.00% or 1.25% for base-rate borrowings, depending on average excess availability under the 2012 ABL Revolver during the prior fiscal quarter. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the 2012 ABL Revolver, we are required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the 2012 ABL Revolver in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder. The initial commitment fee rate is 0.50% per annum. The commitment fee rate will be reduced to 0.375% per annum at any time when the average daily unused commitments for the prior quarter is less than a percentage of total commitments by an amount set forth in the credit agreement covering the 2012 ABL Revolver. We may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the 2012 ABL Revolver at any time without a premium or penalty.

On May 8, 2015, we entered into Amendment No. 3 ("Term Loan Amendment No. 3") to the 2012 Term Loan. Term Loan Amendment No. 3 provided for (i) the creation of a new class of Term B-3 Loans under the 2012 Term Loan (the "Term B-3 Loans") in an aggregate principal amount of $852.5 million, which combined the outstanding balances of the Term B-1 Loans of $207.5 million and the Term B-2 Loans of $645.0 million, and (ii) increased flexibility under the credit agreement governing the 2012 Term Loan and 2012 ABL Revolver, including additional investment, restricted payment, and debt incurrence flexibility and financial maintenance covenant relief. The maturity date of the Term B-3 Loans remained the same as the Term B-2 Loans' original maturity date of September 3, 2021.

40

On June 9, 2015, we entered into Amendment No. 4 (“ABL Amendment No. 4”) to the 2012 ABL Revolver. ABL Amendment No. 4 provided for (i) a $35.0 million increase in the accordion feature under the 2012 ABL Revolver and (ii) increased flexibility under the credit agreement governing the 2012 Term Loan and the 2012 ABL Revolver, including additional investment, restricted payment, and debt incurrence flexibility and financial maintenance covenant relief and (iii) extended the maturity date of the 2012 ABL Revolver to June 9, 2020, which is five years from the effective date of ABL Amendment No. 4.

In connection with the DenTek acquisition on February 5, 2016, we entered into Amendment No. 5 (“ABL Amendment No. 5”) to the 2012 ABL Revolver. ABL Amendment No. 5 temporarily suspended certain financial and related reporting covenants in the 2012 ABL Revolver until the earliest of (i) the date that was 60 calendar days following February 4, 2016, (ii) the date upon which certain of DenTek’s assets were included in the Company’s borrowing base under the 2012 ABL Revolver and (iii) the date upon which the Company received net proceeds from an offering of debt securities.

In connection with the Fleet acquisition, on January 26, 2017, we entered into Amendment No. 4 ("Term Loan Amendment No. 4") to the 2012 Term Loan.

The maturity date was extended to January 26, 2024. In addition, Citibank, N.A. was succeeded by Barclays Bank PLC as administrative agent under the 2012 Term Loan.

Also on January 26, 2017, we entered into Amendment No. 6 ("ABL Amendment No. 6") to the 2012 ABL Revolver.

On March 21, 2018, we entered into Amendment No. 5 (“Term Loan Amendment No. 5”) to the 2012 Term Loan. Term Loan Amendment No. 5 ("Term B-5 Loans") provided for the repricing of the Term B-4 Loans under the Credit Agreement to an interest rate that is based, at our option, on a LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.00% per annum, with a LIBOR floor of 0.00%, or an alternative base rate plus a margin of 1.00% per annum with a floor of 1.00%.

On December 11, 2019, the Company and Prestige Brands, Inc. entered into Amendment No. 7 ("ABL Amendment No. 7") to the 2012 ABL Revolver.

2013 Senior Notes:

These notes were redeemed on December 16, 2019 using the funds from the issuance of our 2019 Senior Notes described below.

2016 Senior Notes:

On February 19, 2016, the Borrower completed the sale of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior notes due March 1, 2024 (the “Initial Notes”), pursuant to a purchase agreement, dated February 16, 2016, among the Borrower, the guarantors party thereto (the “Guarantors”) and the initial purchasers party thereto. The 2016 Senior Notes are guaranteed by Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. and certain of its domestic 100% owned subsidiaries, other than the Borrower. Each of these guarantees is joint and several. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of any of the Guarantors to obtain funds from their subsidiaries or to make payments to the Borrower or the Company.

41

The 2016 Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated February 19, 2016 (the “Indenture”). The Indenture provides, among other things, that interest will be payable on the 2016 Senior Notes on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2016, until their maturity date of March 1, 2024. The 2016 Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Borrower.

On March 21, 2018, we completed the sale of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior notes due 2024 (the “Additional Notes”), at an issue price of 101.0%, pursuant to a purchase agreement, dated March 16, 2018, among the Borrower, the guarantors party thereto and the initial purchasers party thereto. The Additional Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Borrower and are guaranteed by each of Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc.'s domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the obligations under the 2012 Term Loan. We used the proceeds from the issuance of the Additional Notes to repay a portion of our outstanding obligations under the 2012 Term Loan and to pay related fees and expenses. The Additional Notes will be treated as a single series with the $350.0 million aggregate principle amount of Initial Notes (the Initial Notes and, together with the Additional Notes, the “2016 Senior Notes”).

2019 Senior Notes:

On December 2, 2019, the Borrower issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% senior notes (the "2019 Senior Notes") pursuant to an indenture dated December 2, 2019, among Prestige Brands, Inc., the guarantors party thereto (including the Company) and the U.S. Bank National Association, as a trustee. The 2019 Senior Notes mature on January 15, 2028. We used the net proceeds from the 2019 Senior Notes, together with cash on hand, to redeem all $400.0 million of our outstanding 2013 Senior Notes, which were due in 2021, and to pay related fees and expenses. In conjunction with the redemption of our 2013 Senior Notes, we wrote off related debt costs of $2.2 million.

Redemptions and Restrictions:

We have the option to redeem all or a portion of the 2016 Senior Notes at any time on or after March 1, 2019 at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Subject to certain limitations, in the event of a change of control (as defined in the Indenture), the Borrower will be required to make an offer to purchase the 2016 Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.

The indentures governing the 2016 Senior Notes and the 2019 Senior Notes contain provisions that restrict us from undertaking specified corporate actions, such as asset dispositions, acquisitions, dividend payments, repurchases of common shares outstanding, changes of control, incurrences of indebtedness, issuance of equity, creation of liens, making of loans and transactions with affiliates. Additionally, the credit agreement governing the 2012 Term Loan and the 2012 ABL Revolver and the indentures governing the 2016 Senior Notes and the 2019 Senior Notes contain cross-default provisions, whereby a default pursuant to the terms and conditions of certain indebtedness will cause a default on the remaining indebtedness under the credit agreement governing the 2012 Term Loan and the 2012 ABL Revolver and the indentures governing the 2016 Senior Notes and the 2019 Senior Notes. At March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with the covenants under our long-term indebtedness.

As of March 31, 2020, we had an aggregate of $1.7 billion of outstanding indebtedness, which consisted of the following:

•$400.0 million of 5.125% 2019 Senior Notes due 2028;

•$600.0 million of 6.375% 2016 Senior Notes due 2024;

•$690.0 million of borrowings under the Term B-5 Loans; and

•$55.0 million of borrowings under the 2012 ABL Revolver.

As of March 31, 2020, we had $107.3 million of borrowing capacity under the 2012 ABL Revolver.

Interest Rate Swaps

In January 2020, we entered into two interest rate swaps to hedge a total of $400.0 million of our variable interest debt.

Debt Covenants

Our debt facilities contain various financial covenants, including provisions that require us to maintain certain leverage, interest coverage and fixed charge ratios.  The credit agreement governing the 2012 Term Loan and the 2012 ABL Revolver and the indentures governing the 2016 and 2019 Senior Notes contain provisions that accelerate our indebtedness on certain changes in control and restrict us from undertaking specified corporate actions, including asset dispositions, acquisitions, payment of dividends and other specified payments, repurchasing our equity securities in the public markets, incurrence of indebtedness, creation of liens, making loans and investments and transactions with affiliates. Specifically, we must:

42

•Have a leverage ratio of less than 6.50 to 1.0 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of our consolidated total net debt as of the last day of the fiscal quarter to our trailing twelve month consolidated net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash charges and certain other items (“EBITDA”));

•Have an interest coverage ratio of greater than 2.25 to 1.0 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of our consolidated EBITDA to our trailing twelve month consolidated cash interest expense); and

•Have a fixed charge ratio of greater than 1.0 to 1.0 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of our consolidated EBITDA minus capital expenditures to our trailing twelve month consolidated interest paid, taxes paid and other specified payments). Our fixed charge requirement remains level throughout the term of the agreement.

At March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with the applicable financial and restrictive covenants under the 2012 Term Loan and the 2012 ABL Revolver and the indentures governing the 2016 Senior Notes and the 2019 Senior Notes. Additionally, management anticipates that in the normal course of operations, we will be in compliance with the financial and restrictive covenants during 2021. During the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we made voluntary principal payments against outstanding indebtedness of $48.0 million and $200.0 million, respectively, under the 2012 Term Loan. Under the Term Loan Amendment No. 5, we are required to make quarterly payments each equal to 0.25% of the aggregate amount of $690.0 million. Since we have previously made a significant optional payment that exceeded a significant portion of our required quarterly payments, we will not be required to make another payment until the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024.

Commitments

As of March 31, 2020, we had ongoing commitments under various contractual and commercial obligations as follows:

	Payments Due by Period
(In millions)			Less than		1 to 3		4 to 5		After 5
Contractual Obligations	Total		1 Year		Years		Years		Years
Long-term debt	$	1,745.0	$	—	$	—	$	1,345.0	$	400.0
Interest on long-term debt(1)	483.8		87.7		183.8		120.2		92.1
Purchase obligations:
Inventory costs(2)	169.9		142.9		16.0		4.8		6.2
Other costs(3)	28.4		27.8		0.4		0.2		—

Total contractual cash obligations(5)	$	2,463.4	$	265.2	$	213.5	$	1,481.8	$	502.9

(1)Represents the estimated interest obligations on the outstanding balances at March 31, 2020 of the 2019 Senior Notes, 2016 Senior Notes, Term B-5 Loans, and 2012 ABL Revolver, assuming scheduled principal payments (based on the terms of the loan agreements). We estimate our future obligations for interest on our variable rate debt by assuming the weighted average interest rates in effect on each variable rate debt obligation at March 31, 2020 remain constant into the future. This is an estimate, as actual rates will vary over time. In addition, we assume that the average balance outstanding for the last month of fiscal 2020 remains the same for the remaining term of the agreement. The actual balance outstanding may fluctuate significantly in future periods, depending on the availability of cash flow from operations and future investing and financing considerations. Estimated interest obligations would be different under different assumptions regarding interest rates or timing of principal payments.   

(2)Purchase obligations for inventory costs are legally binding commitments for projected inventory requirements to be utilized during the normal course of our operations.

(3)Purchase obligations for other costs are legally binding commitments for marketing, advertising and capital expenditures.  Activity costs for molds and equipment to be paid, based solely on a per unit basis without any deadlines for final payment, have been excluded from the table because we are unable to determine the time period over which such activity costs will be paid.

(4)We have excluded minimum sublease rentals of $0.2 million due in the future under non-cancellable subleases. Please refer to Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

43

(5)We have excluded obligations related to uncertain tax positions because we cannot reasonably estimate when they will occur.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or financing activities with special-purpose entities.

Inflation

Inflationary factors such as increases in the costs of raw materials, packaging materials, purchased product and overhead may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.  Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations for the three most recent fiscal years, we anticipate the COVID-19 pandemic may have an inflationary impact on our costs and a high rate of inflation in the future could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.  More volatility in crude oil prices may have an adverse impact on transportation costs, as well as certain petroleum based raw materials and packaging material.  Although we make efforts to minimize the impact of inflationary factors, including raising prices to our customers, a high rate of pricing volatility associated with crude oil supplies or other raw materials used in our products may have an adverse effect on our operating results.

44

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk because our 2012 Term Loan and 2012 ABL Revolver are variable rate debt.  To manage this risk, we use interest rate swaps to hedge a total of $400.0 million of this variable rate debt.  At March 31, 2020, approximately $345.0 million of our debt carries a variable rate of interest.

Holding other variables constant, including levels of indebtedness, a one percentage point increase in interest rates on our variable rate debt would have had an adverse impact on pre-tax loss and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2020 of approximately $3.7 million.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

During the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, approximately 12.5% and 10.9%, respectively, of our revenues were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. As such, we are exposed to transactions that are sensitive to foreign currency exchange rates, including insignificant foreign currency forward exchange agreements. These transactions are primarily with respect to the Canadian and Australian Dollar.

We performed a sensitivity analysis with respect to exchange rates for the year ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. Holding all other variables constant, and assuming a hypothetical 10.0% adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates, this analysis resulted in a 3.9% impact on pre-tax income of approximately $7.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2020 and a 15.9% impact on pre-tax loss of approximately $5.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2019.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act).  Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and effected by the Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control objectives will be met.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate over time.

Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2020.  In making its evaluation, management has used the criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013 Framework).

Based on management's assessment utilizing the 2013 Framework, management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2020.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has issued a report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2020, which appears below.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), of changes in stockholders’ equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2020, including the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Changes in Accounting Principles

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for leases in 2020 and the manner in which it accounts for revenue from contracts with customers in 2019.

Basis for Opinions

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit

47

preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairment Assessments for Reporting Units and Brands of Certain Product Groups

As described in Notes 1, 6, and 7 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset balances were $575.2 million and $2,265.3 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2020. Goodwill is classified as the excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations. Intangible assets generally represent our tradenames, brand names, and patents. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, although the carrying values are tested for impairment at least annually in the fourth fiscal quarter of each year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is one level below the operating segment level, and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested at the asset level. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the reporting unit or asset exceeds its fair value. Management utilized the discounted cash flow methods to estimate the fair value of its reporting units and the excess earnings method to estimate the fair value of individual indefinite-lived intangible assets. As disclosed by management, key assumptions in developing the fair value measurement of the reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets include future cash flows and margins, both of which could be impacted by competition, changing consumer preferences, technological advances or changes in advertising and promotional expenses, and the discount rate.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment assessments for reporting units and brands of certain product groups is a critical audit matter are there was significant judgment and estimation by management when developing the fair value measurements. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and in evaluating audit evidence relating to management’s cash flow projections and significant assumptions, including future cash flows, margins, and the discount rate. In addition, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in performing these procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s impairment assessments of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, including controls over the valuation of the Company’s reporting units and individual indefinite-lived intangible assets. These procedures also included, among others, testing management’s process for developing the fair value measurements of the reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets for certain product groups. This included evaluating the appropriateness of methods used in developing the fair value measurements, testing the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of underlying data used, and evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions used by management, including future cash flows, margins, and the discount rate. Evaluating the reasonableness of management’s assumptions related to future cash flows and margins involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering (i) current and historical performance, (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data, and (iii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the appropriateness of the Company’s fair value methods and reasonableness of certain significant assumptions used by management, including the discount rate.

Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Business and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Business

Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. (referred to herein as the “Company” or “we”, which reference shall, unless the context requires otherwise, be deemed to refer to Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. and all of its direct and indirect 100% owned subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) is engaged in the development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution of over-the-counter (“OTC”) healthcare and household cleaning products (prior to the sale of our Household Cleaning segment, as discussed in Note 2 to these Consolidated Financial Statements) to mass merchandisers, drug, food, dollar, convenience and club stores, and e-commerce channels in North America (the United States and Canada) and in Australia and certain other international markets.  Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. is a holding company with no operations and is also the parent guarantor of the senior credit facility and the senior notes described in Note 10 to these Consolidated Financial Statements.

Coronavirus Outbreak

In January 2020, the World Health Organization ("WHO") announced a global health crisis due to a new strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19"). In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic. This pandemic is affecting the United States and global economies, including causing significant volatility in the global economy and resulting in materially reduced economic activity. If the outbreak continues to spread or if we enter a period of recession or depression, it may materially affect our operations and those of third parties on which we rely, including causing disruptions in the supply and distribution of our products. We may need to limit operations and may experience material limitations in employee resources. We did see an increase in sales at the end of March 2020 related to the United States shelter-in-place restrictions, followed by a significant decrease in consumer consumption in the weeks that followed. It has been reported to us that there has been an increase in absenteeism at our distribution center and some of our suppliers, however, we have not experienced a material disruption to our overall supply chain. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19, and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. We do not yet know the full extent of impacts on our business or the global economy. However, these effects could have a material, adverse impact on our liquidity, capital resources, operations and business and those of the third parties on which we rely.

Basis of Presentation

Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.  Our fiscal year ends on March 31st of each year.  References in these Consolidated Financial Statements or notes to a year (e.g., “2020”) mean our fiscal year ended on March 31st of that year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Although these estimates are based on our knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, actual results could differ from those estimates.  As discussed below, our most significant estimates include those made in connection with the valuation of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, fair value of debt, sales returns and allowances, trade promotional allowances, inventory obsolescence, and accounting for income taxes and related uncertain tax positions.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all short-term deposits and investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  At March 31, 2020, approximately 14% of our cash is held by a bank in Sydney, Australia. Substantially all of our remaining cash is held by a large regional bank with headquarters in California.  We do not believe that, as a result of this concentration, we are subject to any unusual financial risk beyond the normal risk associated with commercial banking relationships. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) insures our U.S. domestic balances, up to $250,000 and $500,000, with a $250,000 limit for cash, respectively. Substantially all of the Company's cash balances at March 31, 2020 are uninsured.

54

Accounts Receivable

We extend non-interest-bearing trade credit to our customers in the ordinary course of business.  We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based upon historical collection experience and expected collectability of the accounts receivable.  In an effort to reduce credit risk, we (i) have established credit limits for all of our customer relationships, (ii) perform ongoing credit evaluations of customers’ financial condition, (iii) monitor the payment history and aging of customers’ receivables, and (iv) monitor open orders against an individual customer’s outstanding receivable balance.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, where cost is determined by using the first-in, first-out method.  We reduce inventories for the diminution of value resulting from product obsolescence, damage or other issues affecting marketability, equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and its estimated net realizable value.  Factors utilized in the determination of estimated net realizable value include (i) product expiration dates, (ii) current sales data and historical return rates, (iii) estimates of future demand, (iv) competitive pricing pressures, (v) new product introductions, and (vi) component and packaging obsolescence.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:

	Years
Building	15 - 40
Machinery	3 - 15
Computer equipment and software	3 - 5
Furniture and fixtures	7 - 10
Leasehold improvements	*

*Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the related assets.

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  When an asset is sold or otherwise disposed of, we remove the cost and associated accumulated depreciation from the respective accounts and recognize the resulting gain or loss in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable.  An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.

Goodwill

The excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations is classified as goodwill.  Goodwill is not amortized, although the carrying value is tested for impairment at least annually in the fourth fiscal quarter of each year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired.  Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is one level below the operating segment level. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets, which are comprised primarily of tradenames, are stated at cost less accumulated amortization.  For intangible assets with finite lives, amortization is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives, typically ranging from 10 to 30 years.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually in the fourth fiscal quarter of each year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired.  Intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may exceed their fair values and may not be recoverable.  An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.

Debt Origination Costs

We have incurred debt origination costs in connection with the issuance of long-term debt.  These costs are amortized over the term of the related debt, using the effective interest method for our bonds and our term loan facility and the straight-line method for our revolving credit facility. Costs associated with our revolving credit facility are reported as a long-term asset and costs related to our senior notes and the term loan facility are recorded as a reduction of debt.

55

Revenue Recognition

We adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606 on April 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method and recognize revenue accordingly.

Nature of Goods and Services

We recognize revenue from product sales. We primarily ship finished goods to our customers and operate in two segments: North American OTC Healthcare and International OTC Healthcare. We sold our Household Cleaning segment on July 2, 2018 (see Note 2 for further details). The segments are based on differences in geographical area. The North America and International OTC Healthcare segments market a variety of personal care and over-the-counter products in the following product groups: Analgesics, Cough & Cold, Women's Health, Gastrointestinal, Eye & Ear Care, Dermatologicals, and Oral Care. Prior to its sale, the Household Cleaning segment focused on the sale of cleaning products. Our products are distinct and separately identifiable on customer contracts or invoices, with each product sale representing a separate performance obligation.

We sell consumer products under a variety of brands through a broad distribution platform that includes mass merchandisers, drug, food, dollar, convenience and club stores, and e-commerce channels, all of which sell our products to consumers.

See Note 21 for disaggregated revenue information.

Satisfaction of Performance Obligations

Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of a promised good is transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for that good. This occurs either when finished goods are transferred to a common carrier for delivery to the customer or when product is picked up by the customer or the customer’s carrier.

Once a product has transferred to the common carrier or been picked up by the customer, the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the product. It is at this point that we have a right to payment and the customer has legal title.

Variable Consideration

Provisions for certain rebates, customer promotional programs, product returns, and discounts to customers are accounted for as variable consideration and recorded as a reduction in sales.

We record an estimate of future product returns, chargebacks and logistic deductions concurrent with recording sales, which is made using the most likely amount method which incorporates (i) historical return rates, (ii) current economic trends, (iii) changes in customer demand, (iv) product acceptance, (v) seasonality of our product offerings, and (vi) the impact of changes in product formulation, packaging and advertising.

We participate in the promotional programs of our customers to enhance the sale of our products. These promotional programs consist of direct-to-consumer incentives, such as coupons and temporary price reductions, as well as incentives to our customers, such as allowances for new distribution, including slotting fees, and cooperative advertising. The costs of such activities are recorded as a reduction to revenue when the related sale takes place. Estimates of the costs of these promotional programs are derived using the most likely amount method, which incorporates (i) historical sales experience, (ii) the current promotional offering, (iii) forecasted data, (iv) current market conditions, and (v) communication with customer purchasing/marketing personnel. At the completion of the promotional program, the estimated amounts are adjusted to actual results.

Practical Expedients

Due to the nature (short duration) of our contracts with customers, we apply the practical expedient related to the disclosure of remaining performance obligations. Remaining performance obligations relate to contracts with a duration of less than one year, in which we have the right to invoice the customer at the time the performance obligation is satisfied for the amount of revenue recognized at that time. Accordingly, we have elected the practical expedient available under ASC 606 not to disclose remaining performance obligations for our contracts. The period between when control of the promised products transfers to the customer and when the customer pays for the products is one year or less. As such, we do not adjust product consideration for the effects of a significant financing component. The amortization period of any asset resulting from incremental costs of obtaining a contract would be one year or less.

We expense incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract (broker commissions) when the related sale takes place.

We account for shipping and handling costs as fulfillment activities and therefore recognize them upon shipment of goods.

56

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales includes costs related to the manufacturing of our products, including raw materials, direct labor and indirect plant costs (including but not limited to depreciation), warehousing costs, inbound and outbound shipping costs, and handling and storage costs.  Warehousing, shipping and handling and storage costs were $61.9 million for 2020, $56.4 million for 2019 and $64.7 million for 2018.

Advertising and Promotion Costs

Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred.  Allowances for distribution costs associated with products, including slotting fees, are recognized as a reduction of sales.  

Stock-based Compensation

We recognize stock-based compensation expense by measuring the cost of services to be rendered based on the grant-date fair value of the equity award.  Compensation expense is recognized over the period a grantee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, generally referred to as the requisite service period.

Pension Expense

Certain employees of C.B. Fleet Company, Inc. ("Fleet"), our wholly owned subsidiary, are covered by defined benefit pension plans. The Company’s policy is to contribute at least the minimum amount required under The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). The Company may elect to make additional contributions. Benefits are based on years of service and levels of compensation. On December 16, 2014, the decision was made to freeze the benefits under the Company's U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan with an effective date of March 1, 2015.

The funded status of our pension plans is dependent upon many factors, including returns on invested assets and the level of certain market interest rates. We review pension assumptions regularly and we may from time to time make voluntary contributions to our pension plans that exceed the amounts required by statute. Changes in interest rates and the market value of the securities held by the plans could materially change the funded status of the plans, positively or negatively, and affect the level of pension expense and required contributions in fiscal 2021 and beyond.

Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Act"). The Tax Act represented significant U.S. federal tax reform legislation that includes a permanent reduction to the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate. The permanent reduction to the federal corporate income tax rate resulted in a one-time benefit of $267.0 million related to the value of our deferred tax liabilities and a benefit of $3.2 million related to the lower blended tax rate on our earnings in the year ended March 31, 2018, resulting in a net benefit of $270.2 million. Additionally, the Tax Act subjects certain of our cumulative foreign earnings and profits to U.S. income taxes through a deemed repatriation, which resulted in a charge of $1.9 million during the year ended March 31, 2018.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") was enacted and signed into law in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Certain provisions of the CARES Act impacted us and were reflected in our 2020 income tax provision computations. The CARES Act contains modifications on the limitation of business interest for tax years beginning in 2019 and 2020. The modifications to Section 163(j) increase the allowable business interest deduction from 30% of adjusted taxable income to 50% of adjusted taxable income. This modification increased our allowable interest expense deduction and resulted in a lower taxable income for 2020. As a result of the CARES Act, it is anticipated that we will fully utilize the interest expense deduction on our 2020 tax return.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.  A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

The Income Taxes topic of the FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  The guidance only allows the recognition of those tax benefits that have a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the various taxing authorities. As a result, we have applied such guidance in determining our tax uncertainties.

We are subject to taxation in the United States and various state and foreign jurisdictions.  

We classify penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

57

Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed based on income available to common stockholders and the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on income available to common stockholders and the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the effect of potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method, which includes stock options and restricted stock units ("RSUs"). Potential common shares, composed of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and unvested RSUs, are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation to the extent that they are dilutive. In loss periods, the assumed exercise of in-the-money stock options and RSUs has an antidilutive effect, and therefore these instruments are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

	Year Ended March 31,
(In thousands, except per share data)	2020		2019		2018
Numerator
Net income (loss)	$	142,281	$	(35,800)	$	339,570
Denominator
Denominator for basic earnings (loss) per share - weighted average shares outstanding	50,723		52,068		53,099
Dilutive effect of unvested restricted stock units and options issued to employees and directors	417		—		427
Denominator for diluted earnings (loss) per share	51,140		52,068		53,526
Earnings (loss) per Common Share:
Basic net earnings (loss) per share	$	2.81	$	(0.69)	$	6.40
Diluted net earnings (loss) per share	$	2.78	$	(0.69)	$	6.34

For 2020, 2019, and 2018 there were 0.3 million, 1.4 million, and 0.4 million shares, respectively, attributable to outstanding stock-based awards that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Leases

We lease real estate and equipment for use in our operations. These leases have lease terms of 1 to 10 years, some of which include options to terminate or extend leases for up to 1 to 6 years or on a month-to-month basis. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion and our lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and liabilities reflect only the options we are reasonably certain that we will exercise.

We determine if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception by assessing whether the arrangement contains an identified asset and whether we have the right to control the identified asset. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets are based on the measurement of the lease liability and also include any lease payments made prior to or on lease commencement and exclude lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred, as applicable.

Variable lease payments, which do not vary based on an index or rate, are excluded from the ROU asset and lease liability determination. Variable lease payments are typically usage-based and are recorded in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

As the implicit rate in our leases is unknown, we used our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the date of adoption for existing leases and at the lease commencement date for new leases in determining the present value of future lease payments. We give consideration to our credit risk, term of the lease, total lease payments and adjust for the impacts of collateral, as necessary, when calculating our incremental borrowing rates. Rent expense for our operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

58

For the measurement and classification of our lease agreements, we group lease and non-lease components into a single lease component for all underlying asset classes. We have also elected to exclude any leases within our existing classes of assets with a term of twelve months or less.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This update amended a number of aspects of lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize all leases with a term greater than one year as a ROU asset and corresponding lease liability, measured at the present value of the lease payments. On April 1, 2019, we adopted Topic 842 using the modified retrospective approach. Results for the year ended March 31, 2020 are presented under Topic 842. No prior period amounts were adjusted and the prior period continues to be reported in accordance with previous lease guidance, ASC Topic 840, Leases.

The new standard provided a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We elected the package of transition provisions available for expired or existing contracts, which allowed us to carryforward our historical assessments of (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs.

The effects of this recently adopted accounting pronouncement to our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of April 1, 2019 are as follows:

(In thousands)	March 31, 2019		New Lease Standard Adjustment		April 1, 2019
Assets:
Operating lease ROU assets	$	—	$	17,435	$	17,435
Liabilities:
Operating lease liabilities, current portion	$	—	$	(5,697)	$	(5,697)
Long-term operating lease liabilities, net of current portion	$	—	$	(13,296)	$	(13,296)
Other accrued liabilities (1)	$	(60,663)	$	1,558	$	(59,105)

(1) Relates to deferred rent and exit costs associated with existing leases.

Adoption of this accounting pronouncement had no impact on our other financial statements.

See above for our lease accounting policy.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. The amendments in this update modify the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans by eliminating certain required disclosures and incorporating others. The amendments are effective for public companies for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.

(a) As discussed in Note 2, on July 2, 2018, we sold our Household Cleaning segment. As a result, we decreased goodwill by $6.2 million, net of accumulated impairment charges.

(b) Amount relates to cash received from escrow associated with our acquisition of Fleet.

At February 29, 2020, in conjunction with the annual test for goodwill impairment, which coincides with our annual strategic planning process, there were no indicators of impairment under the analysis and accordingly, no impairment charge was taken.

At February 28, 2019, in conjunction with our annual test for goodwill impairment, we recorded an impairment charge of $33.5 million relating to our North American Oral Care reporting unit. The goodwill impairment was primarily a result of the DenTek and Efferdent/Effergrip tradename impairments discussed in Note 7.

We identify our reporting units in accordance with the FASB ASC Subtopic 280. The carrying value and fair value for intangible assets and goodwill for a reporting unit are calculated based on key assumptions and valuation methodologies previously discussed. The discounted cash flow methodology is a widely-accepted valuation technique utilized by market participants in the transaction evaluation process and has been applied consistently.  We also considered our market capitalization at February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, as compared to the aggregate fair values of our reporting units, to assess the reasonableness of our estimates pursuant to the discounted cash flow methodology.  The estimates and assumptions made in assessing the fair value of our reporting units and the valuation of the underlying assets and liabilities are inherently subject to significant uncertainties.  Consequently, changing rates of interest and inflation, declining sales or margins, increases in competition, changing consumer preferences, technical advances, reductions in advertising and promotion, or the potential impacts of COVID-19 may require an impairment charge to be recorded in the future.

As a result of our analysis at February 29, 2020, all reporting units tested had a fair value that exceeded their carrying value by at least 10%. We performed a sensitivity analysis on our weighted average cost of capital and we determined that a 50 basis point increase in the weighted average cost of capital would not have resulted in any of our reporting unit’s fair value being less than their carrying value. Additionally, a 50 basis point decrease in the terminal growth rate used for each reporting unit would also not have resulted in any of our reporting unit's fair value being less than their carrying value.

As discussed in Note 2, on July 2, 2018, we sold our Household Cleaning segment. As a result, we decreased our indefinite-lived intangibles by $30.5 million and our net finite-lived trademarks by $18.8 million.

During the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, in conjunction with our strategic planning process, we perform our annual impairment analysis. We utilized the excess earnings method to estimate the fair value of our individual indefinite-lived intangible assets.  The discount rate utilized in the analyses, as well as future cash flows, may be influenced by such factors as changes in interest rates and rates of inflation.  Additionally, should the related fair values of intangible assets be adversely affected as a result of declining sales or margins caused by competition, changing consumer needs or preferences, technological advances, changes in advertising and promotional expenses, or the potential impacts of COVID-19 we may be required to record impairment charges in the future.

At February 29, 2020, in conjunction with the annual test for impairment of intangible assets, there were no indicators of impairment under the analysis and accordingly, no impairment charge was taken.

As a result of our analysis at February 28, 2019, the fair values of three of our indefinite-lived intangible assets, Fleet, DenTek and Efferdent/Effergrip, did not exceed the carrying values and as such, impairment charges of $155.0 million were recorded. In addition, in connection with the impairment analysis, the Efferdent/Effergrip intangible asset was determined to have a finite life, and as such, we began amortizing it prospectively over its estimated remaining useful life. The impairment charges were the result of our reassessment of the long-term sales projections for these brands during our annual planning cycle as well as an overall increase in the discount rate used to value the brands.

64

As a result of our analysis at February 29, 2020, all indefinite-lived intangible assets tested had a fair value that exceeded their carrying value by at least 10%. We performed a sensitivity analysis of our weighted average cost of capital and we determined that a 50 basis point increase in the weighted average cost of capital used to value the indefinite-lived intangible assets would not have resulted in any of our indefinite-lived intangible assets' fair value being less than their carrying value. Additionally, a 50 basis point decrease in the terminal growth rate used for each of our indefinite-lived intangible assets' would also not have resulted in any of our indefinite-lived intangible assets' fair value being less than their carrying value.

As a result of our analysis at February 28, 2019, the fair value of several of our non-core finite-lived trademarks did not exceed their carrying values, and as such, impairment charges of $41.0 million were recorded. The impairment charges were the result of our reassessment of the long-term sales projections for the associated brands during our annual planning cycle, in certain instances the discontinuance of brands, as well as an overall increase in the discount rate used to value the brands.

The assets impaired in 2019 are all part of our North America OTC segment.

The weighted average remaining life for finite-lived intangible assets at March 31, 2020 was approximately 10.9 years, and the amortization expense for the year ended March 31, 2020 was $19.6 million. At March 31, 2020, finite-lived intangible assets are expected to be amortized over their estimated useful life, which ranges from a period of 10 to 30 years, and the estimated amortization expense for each of the five succeeding years and periods thereafter is as follows (in thousands):

(In thousands)
Year Ending March 31,	Amount

In May 2019, we entered into a Master Logistics Services Agreement with GEODIS Logistics LLC (“GEODIS”), pursuant to which GEODIS serves as a new third party logistics provider. The agreement has an initial term of five years with an option to renew for an additional five year term. Under the Master Logistics Services Agreement, we authorized GEODIS to lease a facility under a five year term.  The lease commenced in July 2019, and the lease and non-lease components were recorded in our second quarter fiscal year 2020 financial statements.  The ROU asset and operating lease liability at lease commencement was $18.9 million. In late fiscal 2020, we recorded a finance lease for assets purchased by GEODIS for our use per the Master Logistics Service Agreement.

At March 31, 2020, we had $55.0 million outstanding on the 2012 ABL Revolver and a borrowing capacity of $107.3 million.

2012 Term Loan and 2012 ABL Revolver:

On January 31, 2012, the Borrower entered into a senior secured credit facility, which consists of (i) a $660.0 million 2012 Term Loan with an original 7-year maturity and (ii) a $50.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the “2012 ABL Revolver”) with an original 5-year maturity. In subsequent years, we have utilized portions of our accordion feature to increase the amount of our borrowing capacity under the 2012 ABL Revolver by $85.0 million to $135.0 million and reduced our borrowing rate on the 2012 ABL Revolver by 0.25% (discussed below). The 2012 Term Loan was issued with an original issue discount of 1.5% of the principal amount thereof, resulting in net proceeds to the Borrower of $650.1 million. The 2012 Term Loan is unconditionally guaranteed by Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. and certain of its domestic 100% owned subsidiaries, other than the Borrower. Each of these guarantees is joint and several. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of any of the guarantors to obtain funds from their subsidiaries or to make payments to the Borrower or the Company.

67

On February 21, 2013, we entered into Amendment No. 1 ("Term Loan Amendment No. 1") to the 2012 Term Loan. Term Loan Amendment No. 1 provided for the refinancing of all of the Borrower's existing Term B Loans with new Term B-1 Loans (the "Term B-1 Loans"). The interest rate on the Term B-1 Loans under Term Loan Amendment No. 1 was based, at our option, on a LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.75% per annum, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%, or an alternate base rate, with a floor of 2.00%, plus a margin. In addition, Term Loan Amendment No. 1 provided the Borrower with certain additional capacity to prepay subordinated debt, the 2012 Senior Notes and certain other unsecured indebtedness permitted to be incurred under the credit agreement governing the 2012 Term Loan and 2012 ABL Revolver.

On September 3, 2014, we entered into Amendment No. 2 ("Term Loan Amendment No. 2") to the 2012 Term Loan. Term Loan Amendment No. 2 provided for (i) the creation of a new class of Term B-2 Loans under the 2012 Term Loan (the "Term B-2 Loans") in an aggregate principal amount of $720.0 million, (ii) increased flexibility under the credit agreement governing the 2012 Term Loan and 2012 ABL Revolver, including additional investment, restricted payment and debt incurrence flexibility and financial maintenance covenant relief, and (iii) an interest rate on (x) the Term B-1 Loans that was based, at our option, on a LIBOR rate plus a margin of 3.125% per annum, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%, or an alternate base rate, with a floor of 2.00%, plus a margin, and (y) the Term B-2 Loans that was based, at our option, on a LIBOR rate plus a margin of 3.50% per annum, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%, or an alternate base rate, with a floor of 2.00%, plus a margin (with a margin step-down to 3.25% per annum, based upon achievement of a specified secured net leverage ratio).

Also on September 3, 2014, we entered into Amendment No. 3 ("ABL Amendment No. 3") to the 2012 ABL Revolver. ABL Amendment No. 3 provided for (i) a $40.0 million increase in revolving commitments under the 2012 ABL Revolver and (ii) increased flexibility under the credit agreement governing the 2012 Term Loan and 2012 ABL Revolver, including additional investment, restricted payment and debt incurrence flexibility. Borrowings under the 2012 ABL Revolver, as amended, bore interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin, plus, at our option, either (i) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate of Citibank, N.A., and (c) the LIBOR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month, adjusted for certain additional costs, plus 1.00% or (ii) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing, adjusted for certain additional costs. The applicable margin for borrowings under the 2012 ABL Revolver could be increased to 2.00% or 2.25% for LIBOR borrowings and 1.00% or 1.25% for base-rate borrowings, depending on average excess availability under the 2012 ABL Revolver during the prior fiscal quarter. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the 2012 ABL Revolver, we are required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the 2012 ABL Revolver in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder. The initial commitment fee rate is 0.50% per annum. The commitment fee rate will be reduced to 0.375% per annum at any time when the average daily unused commitments for the prior quarter is less than a percentage of total commitments by an amount set forth in the credit agreement covering the 2012 ABL Revolver. We may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the 2012 ABL Revolver at any time without a premium or penalty.

On May 8, 2015, we entered into Amendment No. 3 ("Term Loan Amendment No. 3") to the 2012 Term Loan. Term Loan Amendment No. 3 provided for (i) the creation of a new class of Term B-3 Loans under the 2012 Term Loan (the "Term B-3 Loans") in an aggregate principal amount of $852.5 million, which combined the outstanding balances of the Term B-1 Loans of $207.5 million and the Term B-2 Loans of $645.0 million, and (ii) increased flexibility under the credit agreement governing the 2012 Term Loan and 2012 ABL Revolver, including additional investment, restricted payment, and debt incurrence flexibility and financial maintenance covenant relief. The maturity date of the Term B-3 Loans remained the same as the Term B-2 Loans' original maturity date of September 3, 2021.

On June 9, 2015, we entered into Amendment No. 4 (“ABL Amendment No. 4”) to the 2012 ABL Revolver. ABL Amendment No. 4 provided for (i) a $35.0 million increase in the accordion feature under the 2012 ABL Revolver and (ii) increased flexibility under the credit agreement governing the 2012 Term Loan and the 2012 ABL Revolver, including additional investment, restricted payment, and debt incurrence flexibility and financial maintenance covenant relief and (iii) extended the maturity date of the 2012 ABL Revolver to June 9, 2020, which is five years from the effective date of ABL Amendment No. 4.

In connection with the DenTek acquisition on February 5, 2016, we entered into Amendment No. 5 (“ABL Amendment No. 5”) to the 2012 ABL Revolver. ABL Amendment No. 5 temporarily suspended certain financial and related reporting covenants in the 2012 ABL Revolver until the earliest of (i) the date that was 60 calendar days following February 4, 2016, (ii) the date upon which certain of DenTek’s assets were included in the Company’s borrowing base under the 2012 ABL Revolver and (iii) the date upon which the Company received net proceeds from an offering of debt securities.

In connection with the Fleet acquisition, on January 26, 2017, we entered into Amendment No. 4 ("Term Loan Amendment No. 4") to the 2012 Term Loan. Term Loan Amendment No. 4 provided for (i) the refinancing of all of our outstanding term loans and the creation of a new class of Term B-4 Loans under the 2012 Term Loan (the "Term B-4 Loans") in an aggregate principal

amount of $1,427.0 million and (ii) increased flexibility under the credit agreement governing the 2012 Term Loan and the 2012 ABL Revolver, including additional investment, restricted payment, and debt incurrence flexibility and financial maintenance covenant relief. The maturity date was extended to January 26, 2024. In addition, Citibank, N.A. was succeeded by Barclays Bank PLC as administrative agent under the 2012 Term Loan.

Also on January 26, 2017, we entered into Amendment No. 6 ("ABL Amendment No. 6") to the 2012 ABL Revolver. ABL Amendment No. 6 provides for (i) a $40.0 million increase in revolving commitments under the 2012 ABL Revolver, (ii) an extension of the maturity date of revolving commitments to January 26, 2022, and (iii) increased flexibility under the credit agreement governing the 2012 Term Loan and the 2012 ABL Revolver, including additional investment, restricted payment and debt incurrence flexibility consistent with Term Loan Amendment No. 4. We may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the 2012 ABL Revolver at any time without a premium or penalty.

On March 21, 2018, we entered into Amendment No. 5 (“Term Loan Amendment No. 5”) to the 2012 Term Loan. Term Loan Amendment No. 5 ("Term B-5 Loans") provided for the repricing of the Term B-4 Loans under the Credit Agreement to an interest rate that is based, at our option, on a LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.00% per annum, with a LIBOR floor of 0.00%, or an alternative base rate plus a margin of 1.00% per annum with a floor of 1.00%.

On December 11, 2019, we entered into Amendment No. 7 ("ABL Amendment No. 7") to the 2012 ABL Revolver. ABL Amendment No. 7 provides for (i) an extension of the maturity date of the revolving credit facility to December 11, 2024, which is five years from the effective date of the amendment, (ii) increased flexibility under the 2012 ABL Revolver, including additional investment, restricted payment, and debt incurrence flexibility, (iii) an initial applicable margin for borrowings under the 2012 ABL Revolver that is 1.00% with respect to LIBOR borrowings and 0.0% with respect to base-rate borrowings (which may be increased to 1.25% or 1.50% for LIBOR borrowings and 0.25% or 0.50% for base-rate borrowings, depending on average excess availability under the facility during the prior fiscal quarter) and (iv) a commitment fee to the lenders under the 2012 ABL Revolver in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder of 0.25% per annum.

For the year ended March 31, 2020, the average interest rate on the 2012 Term Loan was 4.6% and the average interest rate on the amounts borrowed under the 2012 ABL Revolver was 4.0%.

2013 Senior Notes:

On December 17, 2013, the Borrower issued $400.0 million of senior unsecured notes, with an interest rate of 5.375% and a maturity date of December 15, 2021 (the "2013 Senior Notes"). These notes were redeemed on December 16, 2019 using the funds from the issuance of our 2019 Senior Notes described below.

2016 Senior Notes:

On February 19, 2016, the Borrower completed the sale of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior notes due March 1, 2024 (the “Initial Notes”), pursuant to a purchase agreement, dated February 16, 2016, among the Borrower, the guarantors party thereto (the “Guarantors”) and the initial purchasers party thereto. The 2016 Senior Notes are guaranteed by Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. and certain of its domestic 100% owned subsidiaries, other than the Borrower. Each of these guarantees is joint and several. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of any of the Guarantors to obtain funds from their subsidiaries or to make payments to the Borrower or the Company.

The 2016 Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated February 19, 2016 (the “Indenture”). The Indenture provides, among other things, that interest will be payable on the 2016 Senior Notes on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2016, until their maturity date of March 1, 2024. The 2016 Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Borrower.

On March 21, 2018, we completed the sale of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior notes due 2024 (the “Additional Notes”), at an issue price of 101.0%, pursuant to a purchase agreement, dated March 16, 2018, among Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc., the guarantors party thereto and the initial purchasers party thereto. The Additional Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. and are guaranteed by each of Prestige Consumer Healthcare's domestic subsidiaries that guarantee its obligations under the 2012 Term Loan. We used the proceeds from the issuance of the Additional Notes to repay a portion of our outstanding obligations under the 2012 Term Loan and to pay related fees and expenses. The Additional Notes will be treated as a single series with the $350.0 million aggregate principle amount of Initial Notes (the Initial Notes and, together with the Additional Notes, the “2016 Senior Notes”).

69

2019 Senior Notes:

On December 2, 2019, we issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% senior notes ("2019 Senior Notes") pursuant to an indenture dated December 2, 2019, among Prestige Brands, Inc., the guarantors party thereto (including the Company) and the U.S. Bank National Association, as a trustee. The 2019 Senior Notes mature on January 15, 2028. We used the net proceeds from the 2019 Senior Notes, together with cash on hand, to redeem all $400.0 million of our outstanding 2013 Senior Notes, which were due in 2021, and to pay related fees and expenses. In conjunction with the redemption of our 2013 Senior Notes, we wrote off related debt costs of $2.2 million.

Redemptions and Restrictions:

We have the option to redeem all or a portion of the 2016 Senior Notes at any time on or after March 1, 2019 at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Subject to certain limitations, in the event of a change of control (as defined in the Indenture), we will be required to make an offer to purchase the 2016 Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.

The indentures governing the 2019 Senior Notes and the 2016 Senior Notes contain provisions that restrict us from undertaking specified corporate actions, such as asset dispositions, acquisitions, dividend payments, repurchases of common shares outstanding, changes of control, incurrences of indebtedness, issuance of equity, creation of liens, making of loans and transactions with affiliates. Additionally, the credit agreement governing the 2012 Term Loan and the 2012 ABL Revolver and the indentures governing the 2019 Senior Notes and the 2016 Senior Notes contain cross-default provisions, whereby a default pursuant to the terms and conditions of certain indebtedness will cause a default on the remaining indebtedness under the credit agreement governing the 2012 Term Loan and the 2012 ABL Revolver and the indentures governing the 2019 Senior Notes and the 2016 Senior Notes. At March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with the covenants under our long-term indebtedness.

Interest Rate Swaps:

In January 2020, we entered into two interest rate swaps to hedge a total of $400.0 million of our variable interest debt (see Note 12 for further details).

At March 31, 2020, we had an aggregate of $1.1 million of unamortized debt costs related to the 2012 ABL Revolver included in other long-term assets, and $14.7 million of unamortized debt costs included in long-term debt costs, the total of which is comprised of $5.8 million related to the 2019 Senior Notes, $3.5 million related to the 2016 Senior Notes, and $5.4 million related to the 2012 Term Loan.

At March 31, 2019, we had an aggregate of $0.8 million of unamortized debt costs related to the 2012 ABL Revolver included in other long-term assets, and $14.4 million of unamortized debt costs included in long-term debt costs, the total of which is comprised of $2.8 million related to the 2013 Senior Notes, $4.3 million related to the 2016 Senior Notes, and $7.3 million related to the 2012 Term Loan.

As of March 31, 2020, aggregate future principal payments required in accordance with the terms of the 2012 Term Loan, 2012 ABL Revolver and the indentures governing the 2016 Senior Notes and the 2019 Senior Notes are as follows:

11.  Fair Value Measurements

For certain of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate their respective fair values due to the relatively short maturity of these amounts.

The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of the FASB ASC 820 requires fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market

70

assuming an orderly transaction between market participants. The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic established market (observable inputs) as the preferred source of fair value, to be followed by the Company's assumptions of fair value based on hypothetical transactions (unobservable inputs) in the absence of observable market inputs. Based upon the above, the following fair value hierarchy was created:

Level 1 - Quoted market prices for identical instruments in active markets;

Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, as well as quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not considered active; and

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs developed by the Company using estimates and assumptions reflective of those that would be utilized by a market participant.

The market values have been determined based on market values for similar instruments adjusted for certain factors. As such, the 2016 Senior Notes, the 2019 Senior Notes, the Term B-5 Loans, the 2012 ABL Revolver and our interest rate swaps are measured in Level 2 of the above hierarchy (see summary below detailing the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of these instruments at March 31, 2020 and 2019).

	March 31, 2020				March 31, 2019
(In thousands)	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
2016 Senior Notes	$	600,000	$	603,000	$	600,000	$	606,000
2013 Senior Notes	—		—		400,000		401,500
2019 Senior Notes	400,000		386,000		—		—
2012 Term B-5 Loans	690,000		638,250		738,000		728,775
2012 ABL Revolver	55,000		55,000		75,000		75,000
Interest rate swaps	6,317		6,317		—		—

At March 31, 2020 and 2019, we did not have any assets or liabilities measured in Level 1 or 3. During 2020, 2019 and 2018, there were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Levels 1, 2 and 3.

In accordance with ASU 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent), investments that are measured at fair value using net asset value ("NAV") per share as a practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy.

12.  Derivative Instruments

Changes in interest rates expose us to risks. To help us manage these risks, in January 2020 we entered into two interest rate swaps to hedge a total of $400.0 million of our variable interest debt. The fair value of these interest rate swaps is reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in other accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities. We do not use derivatives for trading purposes.

The following table summarizes the fair values of our derivative instruments as of the March 31, 2020:

(In thousands)	Hedge Type	Final Settlement Date	Notional Amount		Other Accrued Liabilities		Other Long-Term Liabilities
Interest rate swap	Cash flow	1/31/2021	$	200,000	$	(1,905)	$	—
Interest rate swap	Cash flow	1/31/2022	$	200,000	—		(4,412)
Total fair value					$	(1,905)	$	(4,412)

The following table summarizes our interest rate swaps, net of tax, for the periods shown:

71

(In thousands)	Location	2020	2019
Loss Recognized in Other Comprehensive Loss (effective portion)	Other comprehensive income (loss)	(4,864)	$	—
Gain (Loss) Reclassified from Accumulative Other Comprehensive Loss into Income	Interest expense	—	—
Gain Recognized as Income	Interest expense	62	—

We expect pre-tax losses of $1.9 million associated with interest rate swaps, currently reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss, to be reclassified into income over the next twelve months. The amount ultimately realized, however, will differ as interest rates change and the underlying contracts settle.

Counterparty Credit Risk:

Interest rate swaps expose us to counterparty credit risk for non-performance. We manage our exposure to counterparty credit risk by only dealing with counterparties who are substantial international financial institutions with significant experience using such derivative instruments.

13.  Stockholders' Equity

The Company is authorized to issue 250.0 million shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 5.0 million shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share.  The Board of Directors may direct the issuance of the undesignated preferred stock in one or more series and determine preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof.

Each share of common stock has the right to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.  The holders of common stock are also entitled to receive dividends whenever funds are legally available and when declared by the Board of Directors, subject to prior rights of holders of all classes of stock outstanding having priority rights as to dividends.  No dividends have been declared or paid on the Company's common stock through March 31, 2020.

During the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we repurchased shares of our common stock and recorded them as treasury stock. Our share repurchases consisted of the following:

	Year Ended March 31,
	2020	2019
Shares repurchased pursuant to the provisions of the various employee restricted stock awards:
Number of shares	31,018	68,939
Average price per share	$31.39	$33.09
Total amount repurchased	$1.0 million	$2.3 million
Shares repurchased in conjunction with our share repurchase program:
Number of shares	1,816,901	1,449,750
Average price per share	$31.22	$34.47
Total amount repurchased	$56.7 million	$50.0 million

14.  Share-Based Compensation

In connection with our initial public offering, the Board of Directors adopted the 2005 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which provides for grants of up to a maximum of 5.0 million shares of restricted stock, stock options, RSUs and other equity-based awards.  In June 2014, the Board of Directors approved, and in July 2014, the stockholders ratified, an increase of an additional 1.8 million shares of our common stock for issuance under the Plan, an increase of the maximum number of shares subject to stock options that may be awarded to any one participant under the Plan during any fiscal 12-month period from 1.0 million to 2.5 million shares, and an extension of the term of the Plan by ten years, to February 2025. Directors, officers and other employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as others performing services for the Company, are eligible for grants under the Plan.  

72

During 2020, pre-tax share-based compensation costs charged against income and the related income tax benefit recognized were $7.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

During 2019, pre-tax share-based compensation costs charged against income and the related income tax benefit recognized were $7.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively. 

During 2018, pre-tax share-based compensation costs charged against income and the related income tax benefit recognized were $8.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively. 

At March 31, 2020, there were $6.0 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements under the Plan, based on management’s estimate of the shares that will ultimately vest.  We expect to recognize such costs over a weighted-average period of 1 year.  The total fair value of options and RSUs vested during 2020, 2019, and 2018 was $7.8 million, $12.0 million and $6.8 million, respectively.  Cash received from the exercise of stock options was $1.3 million during 2020, and we realized $0.7 million in tax benefits for the tax deductions resulting from RSU issuances and option exercises in 2020. Cash received from the exercise of stock options was $2.9 million during 2019, and we realized $1.3 million in tax benefits for the tax deductions resulting from RSU issuances and option exercises in 2019. Cash received from the exercise of stock options was $1.6 million during 2018, and we realized $1.1 million in tax benefits for the tax deductions from RSU issuances and option exercises in 2018. At March 31, 2020, there were 1.5 million shares available for issuance under the Plan.

On May 6, 2019, the Compensation and Talent Management Committee of our Board of Directors granted 98,644 performance stock units, 89,286 RSUs and stock options to acquire 281,487 shares of our common stock under the Plan to certain executive officers and employees. The stock options were granted at an exercise price of $30.56 per share, which was equal to the closing price for our common stock on the date of the grant.

On May 13, 2019, the Compensation and Talent Management Committee of our Board of Directors granted 7,287 RSUs and stock options to acquire 21,194 shares of our common stock under the Plan to a recently hired executive officer. The stock options were granted at an exercise price of $30.19 per share, which was equal to the closing price for our common stock on the date of the grant.

Each of the independent members of the Board of Directors received a grant under the Plan of 4,183 RSUs on July 30, 2019.

Restricted Stock Units

RSUs granted to employees under the Plan generally vest in three years, primarily upon the attainment of certain time vesting thresholds, and, in the case of performance share units, may also be contingent on the attainment of certain performance goals of the Company, including revenue and earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization targets.  The RSUs provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change of control, as defined in the Plan.  The RSUs granted to employees generally vest either ratably over three years or in their entirety on the three-year anniversary of the date of the grant. Upon vesting, the units will be settled in shares of our common stock. Termination of employment prior to vesting will result in forfeiture of the RSUs, unless otherwise accelerated by the Compensation and Talent Management Committee or, in the case of RSUs granted in May 2017, 2018 and 2019, subject to pro-rata vesting in the event of death, disability or retirement. The RSUs granted to directors prior to fiscal 2020 vest immediately upon grant, and will be settled by delivery to the director of one share of our common stock for each vested RSU promptly following the earliest of the (i) director's death, (ii) director's disability or (iii) six-month anniversary of the date on which the director's Board membership ceases for reasons other than death or disability. The RSUs granted to directors in July 2019 vest immediately upon grant, and will be settled by delivery to the director of one share of our common stock for each vested RSU promptly following the earliest of (i) the director's death, (ii) the director's separation from service or (iii) a change in control of the Company.

The fair value of the RSUs is determined using the closing price of our common stock on the date of the grant.

A summary of the Company’s RSUs granted under the Plan is presented below:

RSUs	Shares (in thousands)	Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value

Options

The Plan provides that the exercise price of options granted shall be no less than the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date the options are granted.  Options granted have a term of no greater than ten years from the date of grant and vest in accordance with a schedule determined at the time the option is granted, generally three to five years.  The option awards provide for accelerated vesting in the event of a change in control, as defined in the Plan. Except in the case of death, disability or retirement, termination of employment prior to vesting will result in forfeiture of the unvested stock options. Vested stock options will remain exercisable by the employee after termination of employment, subject to the terms in the Plan.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below.  Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our common stock and other factors, including the historical volatilities of comparable companies.  We use appropriate historical data, as well as current data, to estimate option exercise and employee termination behaviors.  Employees that are expected to exhibit similar exercise or termination behaviors are grouped together for the purposes of valuation.  The expected terms of the options granted are derived from our historical experience, management’s estimates, and consideration of information derived from the public filings of companies similar to us, and represent the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.  The risk-free rate represents the yield on U.S. Treasury bonds with a maturity equal to the expected term of the granted options.

15.  Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The table below presents accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”), which affects equity and results from recognized transactions and other economic events, other than transactions with owners in their capacity as owners.

AOCI consisted of the following at March 31, 2020 and 2019:

Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax	$	(44,161)	$	(25,747)

As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, no amounts were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings.

16. Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Act. The Tax Act represented significant U.S. federal tax reform legislation that included a permanent reduction to the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate. The permanent reduction to the federal corporate income tax rate resulted in a one-time benefit of $267.0 million related to the value of our deferred tax liabilities and a benefit of $3.2 million related to the lower blended tax rate on our earnings, in the year ended March 31, 2018, resulting in a net benefit of $270.2 million. Additionally, the tax reform

75

legislation subjects certain of our cumulative foreign earnings and profits to U.S. income taxes through a deemed repatriation, which resulted in a charge of $1.9 million in the year ended March 31, 2018.

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted and signed into law in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Certain provisions of the CARES Act impacted us and were reflected in our 2020 income tax provision computations. The CARES Act contains modifications on the limitation of business interest for tax years beginning in 2019 and 2020. The modifications to Section 163(j) increase the allowable business interest deduction from 30% of adjusted taxable income to 50% of adjusted taxable income. This modification increased our allowable interest expense deduction and resulted in a lower taxable income for 2020. As a result of the CARES Act, it is anticipated that we will fully utilize the interest expense deduction on our 2020 tax return.

Income (loss) before income taxes consists of the following:

At March 31, 2020 and 2019, we have a valuation allowance of $5.4 million and $3.2 million, respectively, related to certain deferred tax assets that we have concluded are not more likely than not to be realized. The increase in the valuation allowance related to unutilized foreign tax credit carryovers, as further described below.

A reconciliation of the effective tax rate compared to the statutory U.S. Federal tax rate is as follows:

Uncertain tax liability activity is as follows:

	2020		2019		2018
(In thousands)
Balance – beginning of year	$	9,874	$	10,827	$	3,651
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year	495		585		7,286

Payments and other movements	—		(888)		—
Balance – end of year	$	10,369	$	9,874	$	10,827

We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax (benefit) expense. We did not incur any material interest or penalties related to income taxes in 2020, 2019 or 2018. We reasonably anticipate that uncertain tax positions could decrease in the next year by approximately $6.7 million, principally due to the statute of limitation expirations if recognized and would impact the effective tax rate in a future period. We are subject to taxation in the United States and various state and foreign jurisdictions, and we are generally open to examination from the year ended March 31, 2016 forward.

In January 2018, the FASB released guidance on the accounting for tax on the global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) provisions of the Tax Act.  The GILTI provisions impose a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations.  Pursuant to the FASB guidance, we elected to treat any potential GILTI inclusions as a period cost without recognizing any related potential deferred tax liabilities or assets.

Our current foreign tax credit analysis is suggestive of annual foreign tax credit limitation anticipated to be less than foreign income taxes accrued during the year.  The operating conditions giving rise to such excess credit condition may be anticipated to continue into future tax years.  As a result, we have recognized a full valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset recognized in respect of unutilized foreign tax credit carryovers, which are limited to ten-year carryovers under IRC §904(c).  Such excess credit condition did not exist in prior years; however, the Tax Act, enacted in 2017, required substantial changes in the manner of calculating foreign tax credit limitation.

17.  Employee Retirement Plans

We have a defined contribution plan in which all U.S. full-time employees are eligible to participate. The participants may contribute from 1% to 70% of their compensation, as defined in the plan. We match 100% of the first 3%, plus 50% of the next 3%, of each participant's base compensation with full vesting immediately. We may also make additional contributions to the

78

plan as determined by the Board of Directors. The total expense for the defined contribution plan was $1.5 million, $1.5 million and $1.6 million for 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Certain employees of our Lynchburg manufacturing facility are covered by defined benefit pension plans. The Company’s policy is to contribute at least the minimum amount required under ERISA. The Company may elect to make additional contributions. Benefits are based on years of service and levels of compensation. On December 16, 2014, the decision was made to freeze the benefits under the Company's U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan with an effective date of March 1, 2015.

Benefit Obligations and Plan Assets

The following table summarizes the changes in the U.S. pension plan obligations and plan assets and includes a statement of the plans' funded status as of March 31, 2020 and 2019:

Amounts recognized in the balance sheet at the end of the period consist of the following:

	March 31,
(In thousands)	2020		2019
Current liability	$	359	361
Long-term liability	8,451		8,858

Expected return on assets	(2,886)		(3,070)		(2,901)
Net periodic benefit (income)	$	(559)	$	(690)	$	(372)

The accumulated benefit obligation, which represents benefits earned to the measurement date, was $61.6 million at March 31, 2020, and $60.3 million at March 31, 2019 and we had a net periodic benefit (income) of less than $1.0 million for 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

79

The pension benefit amounts stated above include one pension plan that is an unfunded plan. The projected benefit obligation and accumulated benefit obligation for this unfunded plan were $4.6 million as of March 31, 2020 and $4.6 million as of March 31, 2019.

The following table includes amounts that are expected to be contributed to the plans by the Company. It reflects benefit payments that are made from the plans' assets as well as those made directly from the Company's assets. The amounts in the table are actuarially determined and reflect the Company's best estimate given its current knowledge; actual amounts could be materially different.

2023	3,669
2024	3,743
2025	3,718
2026-2030	18,670

During both 2020 and 2019, we contributed $1.0 million to our qualified defined benefit plan. During 2018, we made no contribution to the qualified plan.

The Company's primary investment objective for its qualified pension plan assets is to provide a source of retirement income for the plans' participants and beneficiaries. The asset allocation for the Company's funded retirement plan as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, and the target allocation by asset category are as follows:

	Percentage of Plan Assets
Asset Category	Target Allocation		March 31, 2020		March 31, 2019
Domestic large cap equities	16	%	16	%	18	%
Domestic small/mid cap equities	6		5		5
International equities	14		15		15
Real estate	5		5		—
Fixed income and cash	59		59		62
Total	100	%	100	%	100	%

The plan assets are invested in a diversified portfolio consisting primarily of domestic fixed income and publicly traded equity securities held within group trust funds at March 31, 2020 and 2019. These assets are fair valued using NAV.

The following tables show the unrecognized actuarial loss (gain) included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at March 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, as well as the prior service cost credit and actuarial loss expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retirement expense during 2021:

Assumptions used in determining the actuarial present value of the benefit obligation as of March 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

	March 31,
	2020	2019
Key assumptions:
Discount rate	3.37% to 3.55%	3.80% to 3.99%
Expected return on plan assets, net of administrative fees	5.00%	5.75%
Rate of compensation increase	—	—

The determination of the expected long-term rate of return was derived from an optimized portfolio using an asset allocation software program. The risk and return assumptions, along with the correlations between the asset classes, were entered into the program. Based on these assumptions and historical experience, the portfolio is expected to achieve a long-term rate of return of 5.00%. The investment managers engaged to manage the portfolio are expected to outperform their expected benchmarks on a relative basis over a full market cycle.

18.  Commitments and Contingencies

We are involved from time to time in routine legal matters and other claims incidental to our business.  We review outstanding claims and proceedings internally and with external counsel as necessary to assess probability and amount of potential loss.  These assessments are re-evaluated at each reporting period and as new information becomes available to determine whether a reserve should be established or if any existing reserve should be adjusted.  The actual cost of resolving a claim or proceeding ultimately may be substantially different than the amount of the recorded reserve.  In addition, because it is not permissible under GAAP to establish a litigation reserve until the loss is both probable and estimable, in some cases there may be insufficient time to establish a reserve prior to the actual incurrence of the loss (upon verdict and judgment at trial, for example, or in the case of a quickly negotiated settlement).  We believe the resolution of routine legal matters and other claims incidental to our business, taking our reserves into account, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Lease Commitments

See Note 8 for a description of our operating and finance leases.

Purchase Commitments

We have supply agreements for the manufacture of some of our products. The following table shows the minimum amounts that we are committed to pay under these agreements:

2025	2,399

19.  Concentrations of Risk

Our revenues are concentrated in the areas of OTC Healthcare.  We sell our products to mass merchandisers and drug, food, dollar, convenience and club stores and e-commerce channels.  During 2020, 2019, and 2018, approximately 42.6%, 42.9%, and 41.2%, respectively, of our gross revenues were derived from our five top selling brands.  One customer, Walmart, accounted for more than 10% of our gross revenues for each of the periods presented. During 2020, 2019, and 2018, Walmart accounted for approximately 23.1%, 23.7%, and 23.8%, respectively, of our gross revenues. At March 31, 2020, approximately 20.2% of our accounts receivable were owed by Walmart.

Our product distribution in the United States is managed by a third party through one primary distribution center in Clayton, Indiana. In addition, we operate one manufacturing facility for certain of our products located in Lynchburg, Virginia. A natural disaster, such as tornado, earthquake, flood, or fire, 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 COVID-19 or other public health emergencies could also materially impact our product distribution. Any disruption as a result of third party performance at our distribution center could result in increased costs, expense and/or shipping times, and could cause us to incur customer fees and penalties. In addition, any serious disruption to our Lynchburg manufacturing facility could materially impair our ability to manufacture many of the products associated with our acquisition of Fleet, which would also limit our ability to provide those products to customers in a timely manner or at a reasonable cost.  We could also incur significantly higher costs and experience longer lead times if we need to replace our distribution center, the third party distribution manager or the manufacturing facility.  As a result, any serious disruption could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

At March 31, 2020, we had relationships with 113 third party manufacturers.  Of those, we had long-term contracts with 14 manufacturers that produced items that accounted for approximately 62.3% of our gross sales for 2020, compared to 33 manufacturers with long-term contracts that accounted for approximately 65.6% of gross sales in 2019.  The fact that we do not have long-term contracts with certain manufacturers means that they could cease manufacturing our products at any time and for any reason or initiate arbitrary and costly price increases, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results from operations. Although we are in the process of negotiating long-term contracts with certain key manufacturers, we may not be able to reach a timely agreement, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

20.  Business Segments

Segment information has been prepared in accordance with the Segment Reporting topic of FASB ASC 280. Our current reportable segments consist of (i) North American OTC Healthcare and (ii) International OTC Healthcare. We sold our Household Cleaning segment on July 2, 2018; see Note 2 for further information. We evaluate the performance of our operating segments and allocate resources to these segments based primarily on contribution margin, which we define as gross profit less advertising and promotional expenses.

The tables below summarize information about our operating and reportable segments.

22. Subsequent Events

Share Based Compensation

On May 4, 2020, the Compensation and Talent Management Committee of our Board of Directors granted 79,070 performance units, 73,637 RSUs and stock options to acquire 249,874 shares of our common stock to certain executive officers and employees under the Plan. Performance units are earned based on achievement of the performance objectives set by the Compensation and Talent Management Committee and, if earned, vest in their entirety on the three-year anniversary of the date of grant. In light of the uncertain economic environment, the Committee elected to set the performance objectives applicable to the awards at a later date. RSUs vest either 33.3% per year over three years or in their entirety on the three-year anniversary of the date of grant. Upon vesting, both performance units and RSUs will be settled in shares of our common stock. The stock options will vest 33.3% per year over three years and are exercisable for up to ten years from the date of grant. These stock options were granted at an exercise price of $39.98 per share, which is equal to the closing price for our common stock on the date of the grant. Except in cases of death, disability or retirement, termination of employment prior to vesting will result in forfeiture of the unvested performance units, RSUs and the stock options. Vested stock options will remain exercisable by the employee after termination, subject to the terms of the Plan.

Also on May 4, 2020, Dawn M. Zier was elected to our Board of Directors and the Compensation and Talent Management Committee of our Board of Directors granted her 907 RSUs. The RSUs vest one year after the date of grant so long as membership on the Board of Directors continues through the vesting date, with settlement in common stock to occur on the earliest of Ms. Zier’s death, disability or the date on which her board membership ceases for reasons other than death or disability.
