Fiscal Year 2024 Guidance
The Company updated its guidance for net sales, adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2024, as set forth below.
| (Dollars in millions) | Prior Fiscal Year 2024 Guidance | Updated Fiscal Year 2024 Guidance |
| Net Sales | $435-$463 | $405-$415 |
| Adjusted Net Income* | $87-$100 | $67-$73 |
| Adjusted EBITDA* | $143-$159 | $121-$127 |
The fiscal year 2024 net sales, adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA guidance are approximations and are based on the Company’s plans and assumptions for the relevant period, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Net Sales:
- The Company's updated net sales guidance reflects three primary factors:
- First, the Company anticipates weaker performance from its international business resulting from the Company's actions to simplify and further realign its distribution network in an effort to strengthen its international sales operations, as well as the Company's limited approach to international marketing that is expected to lead to softer demand.
- Second, while the Company believes that sell-through on an absolute dollar basis at U.S. key accounts is largely consistent with trends throughout the year, the business is not yet experiencing the level of lift in demand from the deployment of new sales and marketing investments that the Company previously anticipated.
- Third, the Company anticipates increased promotional activity during the holiday period across geographies relative to its previous assumption.
- The Company's updated net sales guidance reflects three primary factors:
- Adjusted Gross Profit Margin:
- The Company anticipates adjusted gross profit margin* in the range of 70.9% to 71.6% compared to its prior assumption of 72.5% to 73.1% in fiscal year 2024.
- The Company expects that adjusted gross profit margin will be lower than previously anticipated primarily due to greater deleverage from lower sales volumes on its fixed warehousing costs, as well as additional promotional activity expected during the fourth quarter of 2024.
- Adjusted SG&A:
- The Company expects adjusted SG&A* in the range of $167 million to $170 million in fiscal year 2024 compared to its prior assumption of $172 million to $179 million.
- The Company anticipates that adjusted SG&A will be lower than previously expected primarily due to a reduction in fiscal year 2024 non-payroll-related advertising and marketing expenses compared to its previous assumption.
- Adjusted EBITDA Margin:
- The Company now expects adjusted EBITDA margin* in the range of 29.9% to 30.6% for fiscal year 2024, compared to prior assumption of 32.8% to 34.3%.
- The Company now expects more adjusted EBITDA margin deleverage as compared to the prior fiscal year 2024 assumption due to its lower net sales forecast against expectations for continued investment in operating expenses.
- Net Interest Expense:
- The Company now expects net interest expense to be approximately $34 million during fiscal year 2024, compared to its previous assumption of $32 million to $34 million.
- Adjusted Effective Tax Rate:
- The Company now expects an adjusted effective tax rate* of approximately 19.5% for fiscal year 2024, compared to its previous assumption of 19.5% to 20.5%.
*Adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted SG&A, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted effective tax rate are non-GAAP financial measures. See “Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information.

Unless required by law, the Company neither intends nor assumes any obligation to update these forward-looking statements for any reason after the date hereof to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in the Company’s expectations or otherwise.
Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the financial measures presented in this release in accordance with GAAP, the Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted SG&A and adjusted basic and diluted EPS. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the Company’s financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operating performance and facilitate internal comparisons of its historical operating performance on a more consistent basis by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of its business, results of operations or outlook. In particular, management believes that the use of these non-GAAP measures may be helpful to investors as they are measures used by management in assessing the health of the Company’s business, determining incentive compensation and evaluating its operating performance, as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes.
The Company calculates adjusted EBITDA as net income, adjusted to exclude: (1) interest expense, net; (2) income tax provision; (3) depreciation and amortization; (4) share-based compensation expense; (5) non-ordinary inventory adjustments; (6) non-ordinary costs and fees; (7) non-ordinary legal costs; and (8) Tax Receivable Agreement liability adjustments. The Company calculates adjusted EBITDA margin by dividing adjusted EBITDA by net sales. The Company calculates adjusted net income as net income, adjusted to exclude: (1) amortization of intangible assets (excluding software); (2) non-ordinary costs and fees; (3) non-ordinary legal costs; (4) non-ordinary inventory adjustments; (5) share-based compensation expense; (6) Tax Receivable Agreement liability adjustments; and (7) tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments. The Company calculates adjusted effective tax rate as effective income tax rate, adjusted to exclude the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments referenced in item (7) of the immediately preceding sentence. The Company calculates adjusted gross profit as gross profit, adjusted to exclude: (1) non-ordinary inventory adjustments and (2) amortization of patented formulations. The Company calculates adjusted gross profit margin by dividing adjusted gross profit by net sales. The Company calculates adjusted SG&A as SG&A, adjusted to exclude: (1) share-based compensation expense; (2) non-ordinary legal costs; and (3) non-ordinary costs and fees. The Company calculates adjusted basic and diluted EPS as adjusted net income divided by weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding, respectively. Please refer to "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Equivalents" located in the financial supplement in this release for further information regarding these adjustments for the periods presented.
Please refer to "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Equivalents" located in the financial supplement in this release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP metrics to their most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP.
This release includes forward-looking guidance for adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted effective tax rate and adjusted SG&A. The Company is not able to provide, without unreasonable effort, a reconciliation of the guidance for adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted effective tax rate and adjusted SG&A to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because the Company does not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments included in the most directly comparable GAAP measure that would be necessary for such reconciliations, including (a) income tax related accruals in respect of certain one-time items, (b) costs related to potential debt or equity transactions, and (c) other non-recurring expenses that cannot reasonably be estimated in advance. These adjustments are inherently variable and uncertain and depend on various factors that are beyond the Company's control and as a result it is also unable to predict their probable significance. Therefore, because management cannot estimate on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort the impact these variables and individual adjustments will have on its reported results in accordance with GAAP, it is unable to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures included in its fiscal year 2024 guidance.
