Item 2.02. | Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
On August 3, 2017, Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (the Company) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the Original Form 8-K) with a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, and providing additional information. The Company is amending the Original Form 8-K to correct information included under the headline Outlook in the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the Original Form 8-K. The Company expects reported net sales growth of approximately 4% for the full year ending December 31, 2017, which includes an approximately 1% impact from completed acquisitions and changes in foreign exchange rates, rather than net sales growth of approximately 3% for the full year ending December 31, 2017 as reported in the press release. The reported net sales and organic sales growth expected for the full year ending December 31, 2017 does not include any impact from the recently announced acquisition of Water Pik, Inc. There are no other changes to the press release or to the Original Form 8-K.
The information in this report is being furnished, not filed. Accordingly, the information included in this Item 2.02 or in Item 9.01 of this report will not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated by reference.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This amendment to the Original Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements with respect to the Companys net sales growth. These statements represent the intentions, plans, expectations and beliefs of the Company, and are based on assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable but may prove to be incorrect. In addition, these statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside the Companys control and could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences include, without limitation, a decline in market growth, retailer distribution and consumer demand, growth or declines in various product categories and the impact of customer actions in response to changes in consumer demand and the economy, and the other factors discussed in Risk Factors in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and subsequent filings with the SEC.
